Tie Xiong looked at the sharp blade in front of him and took a deep breath:
"Damn!"
Spiritual Power insects possess the ability to hide their spiritual power. Usually, to catch an invisible insect, one needs to combine sound and trajectory to kill it.
Yet, the opponent had captured the trail of the invisible insect right off the bat.
Tie Xiong whispered quietly:
"This guy's inspiration, no wonder he's of the Lamp Phase, such a promising seedling, it would be a waste not to go to the Meteorological Bureau..."
Afterward, he came to his senses and clapped his hands:
"Test passed."
Chen Qi cracked a slight smile:
"Please hurry up, I'm eager to get home after the next test."
Get home? What does he mean? Is this person treating our Hunter Association like a low-tier crack grinder? Tie Xiong felt insulted.
He couldn't let him easily pass the Hunter test. The higher-ups just mentioned, the test's difficulty must be increased... Tie Xiong stepped forward, looking around at the Second-order Transcendents surrounding him.
This one's equipment is too poor, this one's agility is too poor, right, isn't there a killer boxer!?
Tie Xiong spread his arms and shouted towards a person in the far corner:
"Black Fist, come here for a second!"
As Tie Xiong spoke, a lean bald man approached Chen Qi.
Though slim, the dark skin bore numerous scars and tattoos which represented those he had defeated.
If on Earth, his track record would easily qualify him as a lightweight king.
Tie Xiong said:
"Let me introduce, Fighter Black Fist! In the Second-order Transcendent boxing matches, he holds an impressive 75% winning rate!!
Also, he's the most adept combatant among Blade Phase fighters!"
Fighter? Chen Qi stroked his chin.
The Fighter, regarded as the strongest among the Second Rank Blade Phase professions, enhances understanding of Blade Phase, close-quarters combat, and Qi Power learning ability, and also comes with a [Qi Power Burst] skill.
Coupled with the corresponding Body Forging Skill and breathing techniques, even at Second Rank, this profession can master advanced Qi Power usage 'Qi Power Transformation'.
Pure Blade Phase professions are often very strong in combat.
Black Fist glanced at Chen Qi and said:
"You're a Shadow Phase Transcendent, right, not skilled in direct combat? Well, let's separate for a while before we start fighting, to give you a chance for a sneak attack."
Black Fist wrapped his hands with bandages, bearing in mind that Shadow Phase Transcendents were all skilful at sneaky, contemptible attacks.
After speaking, a playful smile emerged on Black Fist's face.
This guy, teasing the rookie again... Tie Xiong coughed twice:
"Our Hunter Association's assessment tests real combat ability, but gentlemen, due to a recent surge in applicants for the test and someone renting the training facility, unfortunately, we can't provide a real combat arena for you two...
Thus, it'll have to be like a ring match... unless, a few days later."
"No, let's start like this, I think this place is quite suitable."
Chen Qi looked towards Black Fist and smiled slightly.
Tie Xiong's eyelids twitched.
Black Fist grinned, assuming the starter stance of Phantom Fist:
"Friend! You should show respect, no, reverence, to a person of the Blade Phase!"
A Blade Phase Transcendent slaughtering ten fellow Transcendents of the same rank was not unheard of!
Breathing Technique! Hot Furnace!
His entire skin instantly became as hot as a blazing furnace.
These two are really in a rush, completely failing to showcase our professionalism... Tie Xiong stepped back and said:
"Begin."
Black Fist suddenly stepped forward, his figure a blur under the enhancement of Hot Furnace.
Movement technique! Shadow!
Phantom Fist. Ten Sharp!
Accompanied by a whooshing sound, ten very fast punches were delivered, hitting Chen Qi squarely in the chest!
But the next second, Black Fist felt a stinging sensation in his hand, as black smoke continuously wafted from under Chen Qi's clothes.
The punches were quite fast, almost unavoidable... Chen Qi like a hunting wolf, kept a firm stare on Black Fist.
The opponent's breathing technique, named Hot Furnace, was an intermittent type of breathing technique. While it could match a Third-tier Transcendent's breathing burst, it came at a cost — the breathing was intermittent —
Black Fist struck several more punches!
Agile steps, followed by Phantom Fist!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chen Qi intertwined Qi Power around his arms, bent to defend, and then found the right moment, during his opponent's breathing break, to grab his fist.
Then, he elbowed Black Fist's chin!
"You..."
Black Fist gritted his teeth.
Chen Qi did not waste words.
Taking advantage of his opponent's head reeling back, Chen Qi swiftly pulled out the Collector, aiming it at Black Fist's chin, and fired a shot.
Bang!
Black Fist felt a huge tremor in his chin and the sensation of the bullet passing through his cheek, shuddering slightly.
This Fighter, it seems, hadn't been shot much before... Chen Qi's finger rested lightly on the trigger, pushing it down.
After all, Shell Country is an age of firearms!
Blood and flesh fell from Black Fist's cheek onto the ground.
Accompanied by Chen Qi's finger resting on the trigger.
Black Fist, looking at Chen Qi, silently raised his hands!
Black Fist, you're surrendering already?
Over already?
Tie Xiong was dumbfounded, he had thought the two were equally matched.
Ah, our Hunter Association has got a pretty impressive newbie...
Watching Black Fist raise his hands, Tie Xiong glanced at the time.
The time expended even surpassed that of the noble Levin with his pile of luxury equipment!
This guy's strength, on par with Levin.
Tie Xiong coughed twice and said:
"Sir, you've passed the second round of tests, please follow me to the conference room."
