Chapter 168: Chapter 78: The Legacy Emanating from the Deepest Depths (3rd Update Today) Chapter 168: Chapter 78: The Legacy Emanating from the Deepest Depths (3rd Update Today) Without the cover of the trees, the view ahead was clearly visible.
“The two members of the loser group are closing in, are they planning to cut in from the third place?
That’s quite ambitious.”
“Check the information on those two members of the loser group, they’ve just been deployed and probably haven’t had the chance to disguise their faces yet.”
“Zoom in, zoom in, lock on!
Found them, they are the Wu Jian brothers from the Mercenary Corps!”
“Give me the details!”
“Yes, reporting Professor, they only have a code name.
Both hail from the Wolf Attack Mercenary Corps, a notorious Dark Mercenary Group from the fourth Administrative District.
Their leader is none other than Griffith, known as the Night Wolf King!
These two kids are likely Blood Makers sent from the Wolf Attack Mercenary Corps to acquire knowledge, carrying the weighty responsibility of replenishing the Mercenary Group with fresh top-tier forces.”
“Wu, level eighteen physique, tests show his strength peaks well beyond level twenty-one, but his endurance in the competitions can only sustain about level eighteen.
There’s no record of him in the Mercenary Union.
Jian, level nineteen physique, strength level twenty, endurance level nineteen, he’s nineteen years and 127 days old, a registered mercenary with detailed data records.”
“Reporting, Professor, no, facial recognition is unclear and we cannot make a match.”
At the last moment, Bonar College finally deployed a professor, as the activity on Purple Jade Star this year exceeded their preliminary estimates.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a place that only produced cannon fodder?
Or is it that, all along, the previous testing methods of the academy were erroneous?
Only the brutal and fatal tests of the military could truly force out the potential of these examinees from the bitterly cold frontier zones.
All outside the first Administrative District are inferior!
This is the saying that has been circulating around the Capital Star for a long time, and the quality of examinees over the years has validated their conjecture.
But this year, the military suddenly took it upon themselves to forcefully change the method, and it seems there are pleasing results.
Outside the artificial forest belt.
The two young mercenaries, Wu and Jian, charged with a bandit’s dare toward anyone in their way.
Right now, both of them were holding back a deep frustration; if it hadn’t been for running into those two iron cans they couldn’t beat no matter what, who would have ended up in the loser group?
What was even more infuriating was that, after they entered the loser group, those two dunces also ended up there, but thankfully, this time fortune did not mock them.
The two brothers managed to advance to the top twenty of the loser group without encountering those two freaks again.
All you so-called winner group, let us brothers bring you the fear belonging to the wolf pack!
The two, with their special method of communication, transmitted a sharp and lingering whistle through an object resembling a rolled-up piece of bark.
Another whistle followed shortly after.
Wu and Jian both looked up simultaneously.
Get ready—
Assault and surround!
The two had just dashed when they saw a young man with a fluttering cloak happen to pass by them.
Interception of the target successful.
Mu Fan with bloodshot eyes suddenly looked back, only to see two young men approaching from both sides in a strange running posture, almost on all fours, like wild beasts!
And in their eyes, there was also a faint green, reminiscent of the hunting gaze of a wolf pack.
Two spots of bright red began to close in within his field of vision!
Their speed was astonishing.
“They are preparing to ambush the third place; we’ve been holding back all day, and finally, the main event is here.”
“Contestants from tenth to twentieth place are now squeezed into one area, and two big guys have joined, they’re from the loser group!”
…
Meanwhile, the officers from Pulan Military Academy and Taoyun Academy focused their attention behind the Wu Jian brothers, confirming that their target was Mu Fan—the starkly visible cloak served as the best proof!
As for Ding Chuan Academy, Ruan Xiongfei stood with his arms crossed, a blank expression on his face, focused solely on Mu Fan from the start.
“Kid, you must be the undying wolf, with the wolf’s nature being ignited within you.”
As for Dawn Academy, they concentrated their attention on Tataric and Zhang Yuanren, still maintaining the first and second positions.
Those two were probably their ultimate goal—Dawn wanted only the best!
In this remote place, offering one key slot was already exceptional treatment—let alone two this year.
So, they wanted only the strongest pair!
Unaware of the great figures who were deciding their fate, the candidates faced their ultimate destiny selection.
And Mu Fan encountered the most brutal and direct interception.
“Sync, one, two, three!
Back slam kill!”
Wu Jian both launched with exceptional coordination, using their limbs to push off the ground, then like vicious wolves suddenly pouncing, they lunged with fierce momentum towards the back of the person in the cloak ahead.
The two brothers each brandished a dagger high in their hands.
Their arms were stretched to the highest point, then pulled back tight, the trembling blade seeming like it would break free from its restraint at any second.
Kill!
Their daggers rose simultaneously.
Mu Fan, who was rushing forward, suddenly stomped down hard with his right foot.
Thud!
Dust flew up as the sawed-off wooden stake before him was crushed beneath his foot.
Underneath the force of gravity, Mu Fan used the rebound from his stomp to execute an extremely unnatural somersault in mid-air.
Two dark shadows swept beneath him.
Zi!
His cloak was cut open instantaneously from both sides.
Half by one, the cloak was split down the middle.
Mu Fan, after completing his flip, crouched on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, and suddenly looked up.
Two students, their eyes filled with ferocity, not bothering to disguise their intention to kill, were turning around to look at him brutally, daggers in hand.
A wolf pack on the hunt never comes back empty-handed!
When wolves make a kill, they never leave a survivor!
Since the military announced no rules,
let all you naturally-born members of the winner group die in despair!
The two from the Dark Mercenary Corps, tainted early with blood and human life, looked down at Mu Fan before them with a twisted mentality.
Killing intent!
Mu Fan had entered a state of obsession determined to reach his destination!
This obsession was like when Shura descended, possessing only the consciousness to advance forward to one place.
Under such a state, when he encountered assailants with killing intent, there was only one outcome…
Those who block the way—
Die!
His pupils shrank to a pinprick!
Ptooey, he spat out the dagger from his mouth and extended his left hand to his chest to unclasp the buckle of his cloak.
With a fierce fling,
the half of the cloak swirled into the air.
Wu Jian exchanged a glance, an evil smile emerging.
Combined Attack Fighting Skill—Wolf Pack Attack.
This was a Combined Attack Skill originated by their leader Griffith, not recorded by the Federation.
It was an A-class killing skill that surpassed ordinary fighting skills!
Only the purest form of slaughter could bring about the purest victory!
Two dark figures stabbed alternately from the front.
The alternating dark figures were like the fangs of a pack of wolves, each bearing the breath of death.
The high-speed daggers turned into illusions, creating an impression of a sky full of them swooping down.
Just as Mu Fan was about to burst forward, his body suddenly seized up.
Stimulated by the pure conviction to move forward and the two incredibly sharp intents to kill, an unfamiliar scene surfaced in his mind again.
With the emergence of these fragments, Mu Fan’s heart, which had been surging and leaping, suddenly stopped, then contracted, contracted.
In just two seconds, his heart had shrunk by a size.
The daggers from those two were already within an inch of him.
At that moment, his heart expanded violently before contracting intensely, beating eight times within a second!
Thump thump thump thump!
Thump thump thump thump!
Suddenly, a power several times his own surged through his body!
Boom!
His right hand slammed heavily into the ground.
As the sound waves spread…
Mu Fan vanished from the spot!
