What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

Runes flickered in the old woman's eyes as she scanned Shi Hao and Qi Shi'an, finally fixing her gaze on A Jin. A Jin trembled under her intense stare.

Qi Shi'an noticed that something was wrong with A Jin; it was trembling with fear. So he stroked its fur to comfort it and said, "Grandma, it's not good to stare at my pet like that."

"Hehe, I just felt that your mount was quite extraordinary, so I thought I'd take a closer look."

The old woman spoke in a gentle, enigmatic way: "Judging from the bloodstains on you two, you must have killed quite a few ferocious birds and beasts."

“Yes, it’s dangerous in these mountains. They’re all very fierce, and we can only fight back passively.” Little Shi Hao nodded very seriously.

"Little brothers, have you been separated from your grandfather for many days? Otherwise, why would your animal skin clothes be so tattered?"

Xia Youyu smiled faintly, her eyes gleaming with a precious light that was both dreamlike and exquisitely beautiful.

"Yes, Grandpa brought the two of us here for training. He said it's a tough journey, and everything depends on the two of us. He won't take care of us unless our lives are in danger."

Little Shi Hao was 'very frank,' as if he couldn't keep anything to himself.

Fortunately, when Qi Shi'an was roaming the wilderness, he had no clothes to change into and could only make do with wearing animal skins to cover his body; otherwise, his fine clothes might have been exposed.

The group felt a chill run down their spines. Just as they had expected, only a master would have the confidence to take children on such a long journey through the wilderness and embark on such a brutal training trip.

Runes were circulating in the old woman's silver pupils, and her aura was powerful, which Qi Shi'an noticed.

The old woman wanted to see through them, but he remained calm. No one could see through the Myriad Trees within his body unless he revealed them.

The old woman nodded secretly at Xia Youyu. These methods were indeed in line with the behavior of a master. Most of the outstanding sons of feudal lords had gone through this process.

However, it is extremely rare to see two children fighting against ferocious birds and beasts like this.

"Little brother, you two couldn't have traveled together across tens of thousands of miles of the Great Wilderness without any adults to protect you, could you?" Xia Youyu said with a soft laugh.

"Of course not. Traveling tens of thousands of miles across the Great Wilderness, how could I have lived such a carefree life without the help of an adult?"

Qi Shi'an then interjected, his tone forceful, implying that they were not some kind of prodigy, and that if they were pressed further, the 'master' behind them would become impatient.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. The personality of this child riding the bear was the opposite of that of the little one; one was innocent, and the other was tough.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. How could so many outstanding figures appear in the same era? And even if they did, how could they possibly meet so easily?

The old woman and Xia Youyu, however, fell into deep thought. The adults behind them might be watching their every move.

"Miss, let this old woman test their quality."

After the old woman transmitted her thoughts to Xia Youyu, she suddenly made her move.

She tapped the ground lightly with her cane, and the earth instantly cracked open, revealing a giant made of stone charging towards the two of them.

The old woman suddenly attacked, but Qi Shi'an didn't sense any killing intent. He made a judgment in his mind: "Interesting. It seems she wants to test us."

Shi Hao was secretly startled by the sudden punch, but he reacted quickly, and his aura was clearly different from before.

His figure moved like a crane spreading its wings, and with a 'bang', the stone man was blasted back.

"I never expected this child to be so strong. He has such astonishing strength with just a swing of his arm."

Xia Youyu watched the battle from the sidelines, and she saw the power of Shi Hao's attack very clearly.

Before the old woman could even react in surprise, Qi Shi'an launched his attack. He leaped off A Jin and rushed to the old woman's side at lightning speed. Runes flashed on his right arm, condensing into a blurry beast head.

The old woman was secretly surprised, but her eyes revealed satisfaction. She did not dodge the punch Qi Shi'an threw, but instead used her cane to block it.

With a loud "boom," the old woman was knocked back two steps, and the stone figure beside her was also smashed to pieces by Shi Hao's punch.

The old woman made her move in less than ten seconds, and the two children swiftly and decisively broke through her attack in the blink of an eye.

The group was taken aback. What was the old woman's status in the Butian Pavilion?

They were actually driven back by two children; they had never seen anything like it before.

"Sister, why did you let the elders around you hurt us?"

The little one's voice was childish, and he looked very puzzled.

Qi Shi'an shook his hand casually, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's really hard, it hurts my hand."

Both of them stared intently at the people behind Xia Youyu, showing no fear or apprehension whatsoever.

Not far away, several young men all had strange expressions.

The old woman smiled gently and said, "Children, we mean you no harm. If we wanted to kill you, why would we have said so much to you two?"

"These two little brothers are really something else."

Xia Youyu was genuinely surprised that her trip to the Great Wilderness had led her to discover two children with astonishing talent.

If they can recruit them, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion might gain some confidence.

If these two grow up, they will surely become the backbone of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in the future!

"My name is Xia Youyu. What are your names, you two little brothers?"

"My name is Haotian."

"Anshi".

Qi Shi'an and Little Shi Hao both responded crisply.

"This name..." Everyone was stunned upon hearing it.

“They have spirit, and they’re all good names!” Xia Youyu smiled sweetly.

Xia Youyu gathered her hair, and a talisman appeared in her palm, seemingly neither gold nor stone, with intricate patterns.

"Although there is only one piece, you can give it to your elders and have them take the two of you to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"When the time comes, take this talisman and state my name, Xia Youyu, and both of you will be able to enter and cultivate."

Xia Youyu knew that it was against the rules of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion for two people to enter together with one token, but these two people were extremely talented, and it would be a pity not to recruit them into the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"The Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

Shi Hao was confused, clearly not knowing where that place was.

"The Heaven-Mending Pavilion?!" Qi Shi'an feigned surprise.

Seeing Qi Shi'an's reaction, Xia Youyu explained with considerable pride:

"Have you heard of the Zhulu Academy? It's named after the phrase 'heroes vying for the deer.' This academy specifically recruits geniuses from this vast land and guides them in their cultivation."

"The Zhulu Academy is as famous as the Butian Pavilion and the Divine King Palace, and together they are known as the three major powers."

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, neither of them asking any further questions. After expressing their sincere gratitude, they bid farewell, saying they would continue to hone their skills.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao rode on the golden unicorn bear and unicorn respectively, and drove away across the mountains.

"Youyu, you were ordered to travel to the Western Frontier this time, and you had a total of eight talismans in your possession. Are you just going to give away this last one like this?" a middle-aged man asked.

A young man sighed, "Entering the Heaven-Mending Pavilion with this talisman means instant ascension to the heavens. All kinds of precious medicines, runes, and secret techniques will be given priority consideration. It's priceless!"

"Yes, these two are powerful, but our destination is the Rain Clan of the Stone Kingdom. The Rain Clan needs this talisman to pave the way for a very powerful offspring."

"Given Shi Yi's reputation, the Butian Pavilion shouldn't mind if he brings one more person in."

"Besides, given the status and position of their Rain Clan, their offspring wouldn't be lacking. Passing the test to enter shouldn't be too difficult for them, right?" Xia Youyu said somewhat dismissively.

“Such an ancient family cares about face.”

The middle-aged man frowned, looking somewhat worried.

Upon hearing this, the old woman, not wanting her young lady to offend the Rain Clan, frowned and said, "How about this, I'll go and ask for another talisman. It's best not to offend the Rain Clan if we can avoid it."

"Besides, giving this talisman to these two children is making the best use of it."

"These two kids are extraordinary. They can swing an arm with the strength of tens of thousands of pounds. Their potential is astonishing."

Xia Youyu's mission on this trip was to find the Five-Colored Divine Egg, an ancient remnant species; bestowing the talisman was merely a side benefit.

"So young, yet possessing such divine power with just his physical body?!" The young people couldn't believe it.

"That's right, that kid's punch actually sent me back two steps."

"If he wasn't holding back, I estimate that with a single swing of his arm, he possesses at least 90,000 jin of divine strength, no more, and that's pure physical strength."

The old woman spoke with a serious expression and righteous indignation.

"What?!" the group exclaimed in surprise.

"And that kid who shattered the stone man with two punches, his physical strength is also formidable. With a swing of his arms, he possesses the divine power of 80,000 jin. Moreover, I can clearly sense that he is holding back," the old woman added slightly.

"This...how is this possible! Doesn't that mean these two little devils are already approaching the extreme level that ancient ferocious beasts used to test their cubs?"

"Heh, really? Who knows, maybe they've already broken through that barrier." Xia Youyu's eyes lit up, and she smiled slightly.

"Huh..."

The old woman frowned, feeling as if she had overlooked something, but couldn't quite recall it. She shook her head, thinking it might just be her imagination.

The group began their return to Butian Pavilion. After walking for nearly half an hour, an eggshell fell from the old woman's sleeve. It was as delicate as jade, crystal clear and lustrous, with five-colored patterns and scattered rays of light.

The old woman picked up the eggshell, and the parts she had missed seemed to become clearer in her mind. She suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "We were mistaken!"

Xia Youyu asked doubtfully, "Did I misjudge him?"

The old woman handed the eggshell to Xia Youyu, saying, "I felt like I'd missed something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Now I realize it."

"The little beast on the child's shoulder had a familiar aura. I thought it was my imagination and just assumed that the aura was due to the blood of many beasts they had been exposed to."

"Now that I think about it, it must be the aura of a divine egg born from the descendants of an ancient divine bird."

Upon hearing this guess, everyone thought about it carefully again and was immediately taken aback.

"No way, those two harmless little guys are actually so audacious as to steal eggs from the nest of an ancient species and even eat the eggs of the descendant of an ancient divine bird?"

The group of people could hardly believe it, and were all astonished and amazed.

“And that little beast, about the size of a fist, I vaguely saw that the soles of its feet were red,” a young man said.

The old woman was somewhat moved upon hearing this: "Could it be the legendary Zhu Yan?!"

"Do you remember how we speculated that two ancient remnants were chasing someone, and that person jumped into the Taiyin River from nearby?" Xia Youyu realized this at this moment.

"Could it be that those two are the ones who jumped into the Taiyin River to escape? Doesn't that mean a divine egg slipped away right under our noses?"

The middle-aged man was furious and regretful. Only now did he realize that the person had already run far away.

Everyone was stunned; they had encountered two strange little creatures in a single day.

Not only did everyone misjudge the child, but the baby also slipped right under their noses. The whole group was fooled by the two children.

Xia Youyu chuckled, her hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes sparkling. "These two little ones are quite clever, both quite shrewd. Let's just consider this a good deed done."

"I hope the two of them can enter the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. If they are snatched away by other forces, it will be more than just two geniuses who will be lost."

At this moment, in the distant mountains and forests, two figures, one golden and one silver, were rushing across the mountains and forests, the mountains and forests on both sides rushing past.

The furry ball, now alert, was grabbed by the tail and lifted up by Shi Hao: "From now on, stay obediently by my side and don't run around causing trouble!"

"Your pet is really interesting."

Qi Shi'an had never imagined that one day he would be able to travel into the world of a novel, with the legendary figures from the Perfect World standing right in front of him.

But since we're here, wouldn't it be a waste of our trip if we didn't get to know each other?

"What's so interesting about it? Besides causing trouble, it eats everything without leaving a trace."

Shi Hao couldn't help but complain about Mao Qiu, that troublemaker.

"Squeak..."

Over the next few days, the two traversed endless mountain ranges in the Great Wilderness, battling numerous ferocious birds and beasts, and traveled for 300,000 miles.

With their keen intuition, they avoided danger on multiple occasions and accomplished a feat that shocked the world!

During this time, he also killed a sacrificial spirit that had grown several flying swords, obtaining three flying sword treasures. Later, he came across a village where he encountered his substitute.

After rescuing him, they traveled together through mountains and rivers, and after twenty days, they finally returned to Shi Hao's village.

Qi Shi'an obtained a peerless treasure, the Seven-Colored Chrysanthemum, on this trip, and Shi Hao originally intended to give him a flying sword.

But he didn't take it. He preferred weapons like spears and halberds to swords, as they were domineering and fierce. He longed for the thrill of piercing the void with a spear or halberd.

"Wow, three savages and a bear!"

Three blood-smeared figures appeared at the entrance of Shicun Village, and a group of children screamed.

Even when Qi Shi'an traversed the Cuifeng Mountains, he wasn't this disheveled. The Great Wilderness truly lives up to its reputation as a gathering place for ferocious beasts; there are even more ferocious beasts than in the Cuifeng Mountains themselves.
