Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

The lobby of the Bo City Hunters Alliance was filled with a lively and festive atmosphere as an insignia awarding ceremony was being held.

The person standing in the center is none other than the old hunter who once criticized He An for being naive. Today is his ceremony to receive the Hunter Elite Badge.

He was personally awarded the badge symbolizing the elite hunters by Deng Kai, a high-ranking member of the Bo City Hunter Alliance.

Unlike Shanghai, where "Hunter Masters are everywhere and Hunter Elites are as common as dogs," in Bo City, where even high-level hunters are few and far between, Hunter Elites can be considered giants. Therefore, the awarding of Hunter Elite Badges is naturally a major event.

That represents one of the strongest members of the Bo City Hunter Alliance, and is also the ticket to the top power arena in Bo City!

Once Li Hao possesses this badge, it means he stands at the very top of the entire Bo City pyramid!

"Li Hao, thank you for your contributions to the Hunter Alliance and Bo City over the past ten years."

"Congratulations!"

With a serious expression, Deng Kai pinned the badge symbolizing his elite hunter status to Li Hao's chest and led the applause.

Looking at the applauding crowd below the stage, Li Hao burst into tears. After so many years of hard work, he had finally reached the level of elite hunter. Looking back on his journey, it had not been easy.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Li Hao repeatedly bowed to thank his colleagues in the Hunter Alliance. It was thanks to these colleagues that he was able to stand here and receive the badge that belonged to the elite hunters.

"I wonder when that 'Shadow King' will return to complete the mission."

Just as Li Hao was giving his acceptance speech on stage, the originally joyous scene was ignited into a discussion by a hunter's unintentional remark.

"Hmph! If you ask me, those arrogant brats probably died in the orange alert zone! Those missions should be reopened for us to freely accept!"

A trendy hunter in a black leather jacket and dreadlocks said with dissatisfaction.

"You can't say that. That kid did us a huge favor. If he hadn't taken those bounties, we'd probably be the ones dying in the orange alert zone."

One hunter was still shaken. The quest he had his eye on happened to be not far from where the orange alert was issued. If He An hadn't snatched that quest, he might already be inside the bellies of the one-eyed wolves.

"Let's not talk about such trivial matters. Today, our Bo City Hunter Alliance has gained another elite hunter. We should be happy."

The discussion continued until He An pulled a large flatbed cart covered with a black cloth to the reception desk.

The young lady who handled his registration was still the one who greeted him, but this time He An knew her name: Xiao Xiaoxiao.

"Miss Xiao, I'm here to settle the task."

As He An spoke, he handed over his badge.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't go to answer it, but instead anxiously tugged at He An's sleeve and said...

"Why would I leave? I brought all the materials required for the mission. What would I do if I left?"

He An was completely confused and pointed to the cart he had pushed over.

"You, sigh!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao sighed, at a loss for what to do with He An.

All I could do was lift the black cloth covering the cart, hoping that he would listen to my advice in the future.

On the cart, fragments of the demon's body were brought back to light.

The stench of corpses and lingering blood filled the nostrils, attracting the attention of some people.

"Those are the quest materials submitted by 'Shadow King'?"

"Holy crap, how come there are so many? Did he really finish all those tasks in less than a week?"

"Could those materials be fake? Who knows where they were bought from!"

"Are you an idiot? If you have the money and the ability, why would you need to fake it?"

"Thump!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao's hand trembled, and she accidentally knocked a wolf claw off with a dull thud. She quickly squatted down to pick it up.

Amidst the pile of dark blue wolf claws, a crimson wolf head faced her face, its fangs pointing skyward, and three hollow, deep-set eyes staring at Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was crouching on the ground.

"ah!!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had just looked up, was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a scream, attracting everyone's attention.

The noisy Hunter's Alliance hall fell silent. Now, no one would question the authenticity of He An's spoils.

No one in Bo City who is a hunter does not know who the owner of this head is; it is a Bone Spike Wolf of the Warrior General level!

Who would use the head of a Bone-Spike Wolf to create a fake?

That's a terrifying demon that can kill a mid-level mage with a single slap!

If we put them outside the safe zone, even if we tied everyone present together, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat that wolf!

There are very few people in the entire city of Bo that can afford this price. If it really is those big shots making fun of them, then they will accept it.

"Is this... all there is?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had just stood up, was so startled that she stammered.

"Oh, these are the most special ones; there are ten more truckloads of goods outside."

He An said it casually.

"Is it a handcart like this?"

Another receptionist asked, puzzled.

He An looked at her with some surprise and said matter-of-factly.

"That must be a big truck. If it were a flatbed truck, wouldn't I have just brought it in?"

The inventory of task materials lasted from early morning until noon, leaving the inventory staff exhausted with aches and pains, feeling as if no part of their bodies belonged to them.

He An's contribution points on his badge visibly soared, jumping directly from the beginner level to the 10000 contribution point mark that symbolizes elite hunters. After breaking through the mark, his momentum continued unabated, and he launched an assault on the position of hunter master!

Li Hao's face flushed red. Just a few days ago, he had criticized the other person for being young, arrogant, and overestimating himself. Now, the other person's status had actually surpassed his own.

"Old Li, is that the arrogant young man you mentioned?"

Li Hao's old friend nudged his arm and joked.

Li Hao stared wide-eyed and said, "You, how can you slander me like this? I never said anything like that."

Then came some incomprehensible words, such as "pretending to be weak to eat the strong" and "genius," which made everyone laugh, and the entire Hunter's Hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"So young and promising! Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older!"

Deng Kai stood on the stage clapping, and the crowd in front of him automatically made way for him.

He walked over to Xiao Xiaoxiao, took the badge symbolizing elite hunters, pinned it to He An's chest, and patted He An on the shoulder, saying with emotion:

"Having only been registered for a week, your hunter level has already surpassed those of us veteran hunters who have been working in the Hunter's Alliance for many years. I'm ashamed, truly ashamed!"

I thought it was already a great joy that Bo City produced an elite hunter today, but I didn't expect to have two successes in one day, a double celebration!

After thanking Deng Kai, He An didn't say anything. Instead, he walked up to Li Hao and stood there, saying in his unique, gentle voice:

"Congratulations!"

Li Hao stood there, his clenched fists relaxing. He had thought he was prepared to endure any humiliation or ridicule He An might give him.

But the one thing he didn't expect was that He An came to congratulate him on becoming an elite hunter!

She mechanically turned her head to watch He An's departing figure.

The midday sun shone down on him, and he was respectfully dressed in a crown and robe.

He is powerful yet humble and tolerant; he will be a truly great king!
