Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 28 Won Over from All Sides

Overnight, everyone in the monitoring room confirmed that Qin Mu had mastered some kind of ability to control monsters, but he was not yet proficient in this ability.

This can be seen from the fact that monsters died frequently during Qin Mu's experiments.

In this assessment, Qin Mu was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

But besides Qin Mu, Luo Feng's performance also attracted a lot of attention.

Monster Town wasn't very big, and Qin Mu's high-profile behavior didn't cause Luo Feng to have much of an emotional reaction. He remained focused on honing his skills, treating this martial arts combat assessment as an opportunity to hone his movement techniques, and demonstrating his microscopic level of movement skills.

An 18-year-old martial artist with microscopic movement skills would be a dazzling presence anywhere.

However, this time, Qin Mu's appearance completely overshadowed Luo Feng.

"Waaaaahh ...

As dawn broke, a series of piercing sounds echoed through the town, announcing the end of the martial arts combat assessment.

Having stopped his experiment, Qin Mu, surrounded by more than a dozen monsters, walked out of the town.

At the entrance to the town, all the quasi-martial artists emerged one after another. Almost all of them were injured, which clearly showed that fighting the monster was not easy for them.

When Qin Mu appeared, everyone looked at him with shock and envy.

The ferocious monsters that had stood before them were now as docile as domesticated pets. One of the monsters even carried a bag on its back, containing the left ear used as proof of its kill.

That night, many people witnessed Qin Mu taming the monsters in the middle of the street, and later these monsters even went on their own to hunt other monsters.

Luo Feng, standing in the crowd, was also filled with surprise and curiosity.

"Why can my psychic powers only work on inanimate objects? Once I get close to a monster, it just enters my body and I can't control it."

Last night, after witnessing Qin Mu's actions, he had secretly tried it in a blind spot of the surveillance camera, but to no avail.

However, Luo Feng wasn't too disappointed. He was already quite satisfied with being able to awaken his mental powers and control things like metal.

Soon, after everyone came out, they gathered at the entrance of the town to hand over the left ears of the monsters they had hunted, as proof of the number of monsters they had killed.

"Three monsters with left ears, next one, with an injured left arm."

"Two monsters in the left ear, next."

Military personnel are constantly registering information.

"Look, it's Qin Mu!"

"His strength is terrifying; he easily wiped out a whole street of monsters."

"I saw it too. He can fly and control throwing knives to kill monsters from a distance. It's outrageous."

"I saw it too. I also saw him tame a monster. He's on a completely different level from us."

"Look at those dozen or so monsters around him, they're as docile as my pet dogs. I wish I had that kind of power."

When Qin Mu came out, all the eyes of the prospective martial artists were focused on him.

Qin Mu was not surprised to be surrounded by onlookers and walked confidently to the three officers who were collecting the monster's ears.

Of the three, one was facing Qin Mu, while the other two were operating a computer to record data.

The officer facing Qin Mu looked at the monsters surrounding Qin Mu with curiosity on his face, but still sat up straight and said.

"Qin Mu, bring out all the monster ears you've hunted."

Now that almost everyone knows Qin Mu, there's no need to verify his identity anymore.

"Yes."

Qin Mu nodded, and the backpack hanging on the monster behind him flew out automatically, putting a large number of monster ears into a metal pot next to him.

At the same time, he snapped his fingers, and more than a dozen monsters behind him suddenly fell down, their consciousness shattered and they died.

The throwing knives on his thighs flew out, severing the monsters' ears and sending them into the metal pot.

The officer's eyes widened instinctively as he watched this scene, and he swallowed hard.

A commotion erupted around them.

Qin Mu actually snapped his fingers and instantly killed more than a dozen monsters!

"Holy crap, so handsome!"

"Controlling throwing knives, I can understand that; I've heard of psychic masters being able to control objects remotely. But what's going on here?"

"..."

Hearing the warm greetings from those around him, Qin Mu smiled faintly. Since he had decided to pretend, he might as well pretend perfectly.

Actually, it's quite simple to do this. These monsters in front of us are already considered members of the Zerg, so controlling them to commit suicide is a piece of cake.

It's inconvenient for me to take them with me, so rather than leaving them for the military to study, I'd rather end their lives myself.

"We can start taking inventory now."

Qin Mu said calmly.

The officer didn't waste any words and started counting. After a moment, he said...

"Excellent. A total of 226 monsters on your left ear. You must be the one who hunted the most among this batch of prospective martial artists."

Everyone knew that this was not Qin Mu's true strength, because apart from killing some monsters at the beginning, he had been testing his abilities afterwards.

"Next." The officer turned to look at the people below.

"Qin Mu." Qin Mu had just walked away when he heard a voice.

"Hello Qin Mu, I am Zhuge Tao, the manager of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

Congratulations on passing the practical assessment! On behalf of Extreme Martial Arts Academy, I formally invite you to join us.

Once you join our Extreme Martial Arts Academy, we can immediately sign a top-tier training contract with Extreme Martial Arts Academy's global headquarters.

We can provide you with 100 million in start-up capital, along with three secret manuals—one on movement techniques, one on guiding techniques, and one on attack methods—valued at no more than 300 million.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black Tang suit pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.

The middle-aged man in the Tang suit was thin, with a hooked nose and gentle, smiling eyes, giving him an almost effeminate air. Behind him followed respectfully another person, none other than Wu Tong, the head instructor of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding aspiring martial artists erupted in a huge uproar. The difference in skill was just too great!

It's important to know that members who join the Extreme Martial Arts Academy typically have only 100 million yuan in start-up capital!

However, before Qin Mu could answer, another burly man hurriedly stepped forward.

"Qin Mu, hello. I am Wang Heng, the manager of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy. On behalf of our Thunder Martial Arts Academy, I formally invite you to join us."

If you join our Thunder Martial Arts Academy, you can also sign a top-tier training contract with the global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy.

Furthermore, we can provide you with 2 million in start-up capital, as well as three secret manuals—one on movement techniques, one on guiding techniques, and one on attack methods—valued at no more than 5 million.

"I don't know if you've heard of the top-tier contract, but every year, no more than ten martial artists worldwide receive this top-tier training contract! Each one of them is a true genius."

This year, my Thunder Martial Arts Academy only issued three top-tier training contracts. One was for a 20-year-old advanced warrior-level martial artist from an EU country. Another was for a South American genius, who, like you, is a psychic!

The third is a 16-year-old intermediate-level warrior from the capital city of my Huaxia Kingdom, 'Jinghua Base City'. If you agree, then you are the fourth.

Over the years, the competition between Extreme Martial Arts School and Thunder Martial Arts School has been fierce, with Thunder Martial Arts School generally lagging behind. It is clear that they have now decided to make a big bet and are determined to defeat Qin Mu.

Upon hearing Wang Heng's words, Zhuge Tao's expression changed, and he was about to say something when a military officer in uniform spoke first from the other side.

"Hello, Qin Mu. I am Zheng Xing, a representative of the military. I am inviting you to join us. If you join the military, you can be directly awarded the rank of colonel and enter the military special operations team."

Our special forces team has a similar training contract to their martial arts school's top-tier training program, and they have many geniuses like you.

After joining the military, you can choose to lead troops or form your own elite warrior squad, depending on your own wishes.

Similarly, we will provide 100 million in start-up capital, as well as movement techniques, guiding techniques, and attack methods priced at no more than 300 million.

We've noticed your talent for psychic abilities and your skill in beast taming. Our military has many psychic practitioners, with specialized training programs, and even some skilled in beast taming like you. If you join us, you'll receive dedicated guidance in all of these areas.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere quieter to discuss the specifics of the contract and benefits. What do you think?"

As the home team, the military clearly has a certain advantage.

Meanwhile, on the other side, an HR alliance member who hadn't had a chance to speak hurriedly said...

"Hello Qin Mu, I'm a representative of the HR Alliance. If you join the HR Alliance, we can directly provide you with one billion yuan in start-up capital!"

At this moment, the prospective martial artists around them who were participating in the assessment had gone completely mad—one billion!

Many martial artists can't earn this much money in their entire lives!
