Chapter 80: Asgard New Recruits Hunting Competition

Hammer God Thor, Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg donned their military uniforms and strode purposefully toward Asgard's military stronghold, located in a valley outside the city. Here, a towering fortress wall had been erected, and the fairy palace guards, clad in golden armor, patrolled the ramparts.

Inside the military camp, a group of new recruits were undergoing rigorous physical training. The number of Asgard's soldiers far surpassed that of Kamar-Taj's mystic Sorcerers. At a glance, there were probably tens of thousands of them! Moreover, Asgard boasted no fewer than ten military facilities similar to this one. It was almost as if every resident was a soldier.

Compared to their wisdom, Asgardians placed a greater emphasis on brute strength. The bigger the fist, the more powerful it was. No matter how many schemes one might devise, they could be defeated with a single, decisive blow!

Orion randomly selected a few fortunate viewers and examined their entry panels. He discovered that the new recruits of Asgard were indeed exceptional, typically possessing one or two green entries. This was a significant improvement over Kamar-Taj!

Kamar-Taj's apprentice Sorcerer generally had only one or two white attributes, and they might not even be suited for the mystical arts!

Baron Mordo, the chief mage, was to blame for this! He lacked the ability to judge talent properly!

"If I were to become the chief Sorcerer, I would undoubtedly elevate Kamar-Taj's strength. An apprentice mage's talent would be worth double…"

"As for… establishing a fairy palace magic academy…"

"It would not benefit me, but it would entangle me in all the disasters of Asgard and incur the wrath of Odin and Loki."

"I'd better consult the Ancient One's opinion after returning to Kamar-Taj."

Orion silently weighed the pros and cons in his mind. But the most urgent task was to accumulate a considerable amount of luck value and upgrade the purple entries to red entries as quickly as possible by selling pink entries!

"Orion!"

"Look at these fine warriors!"

"In the near future, they will all go onto the battlefield, tempered by blood and fire, and become the backbone of Asgard!"

Thor, the God of Thunder, looked on with pride. With the arrival of him and the three warriors of Asgard, all the recruits immediately halted their activities, their faces alight with excitement and admiration.

Thor, the God of Thunder, was an idol to the younger generation of Asgardians!

"New recruits, listen up!"

"If you want to become a true Asgardian guard, you must have seen blood!"

"So…"

"Today, I will lead you to hunt outside the city. Whoever hunts the most beasts will win!"

"You are now qualified to compete with Thor!"

"I'll give you ten minutes to rest. Once the ten minutes are up, charge out of the city immediately!"

Volstagg's roar was like thunder, shaking the very sky. At this announcement, the Asgardian recruits immediately displayed expressions of ecstatic anticipation.

They donned their armor, gripped their weapons tightly, and gathered once more before the crowd. All the recruits had solemn expressions, looked strong and sturdy, and radiated an invisible majesty.

Orion was secretly impressed.

"Hunting outside the city?"

"What's the difference between Asgardian beasts and common beasts?"

Orion's eyes sparkled with curiosity and eagerness. Just seeing a dead body would grant him pink entries! A pink entry, when sold at the recycling mall, had a uniform retail price of 100 luck points. This was a guaranteed win!

With a large number of luck points, he could create more entries and become a true entry supplier!

Through pink entries, he could reshape the fate of others!

"Orion?"

"Are you interested in joining this hunt?"

Fandral looked on with amusement, eyeing Orion's small frame.

"My pleasure!"

"But I have no interest in competing with Thor."

Orion clenched his right hand tightly, and magic sparks swirled and bloomed, forming a dazzling holy sword! As soon as this sacred sword materialized, the Asgardian recruits gasped in surprise. This seemingly unremarkable young man was actually a magician?

"Ha ha!"

"He is a mystic Sorcerer from Kamar-Taj in Midgard."

"Don't underestimate him!"

"The competition officially begins!"

"I hope you don't bring shame to Asgard!"

Volstagg's tone was laden with significance. What might seem like a simple hunting competition was actually a matter of Asgard and Kamar-Taj's honor!

Who was stronger, and who was weaker? This would be decided in one fell swoop!

"From Kamar-Taj?"

"Has anyone heard of it?"

"With his small stature, I could defeat ten like him myself!"

The Asgardian recruits were rude and showed no respect.

Orion found their attitudes amusing. It seemed that news of his battle with Thor, the God of Thunder, had not yet spread. Otherwise, if the recruits knew that Orion and Thor were of similar strength, their eyes would likely bulge in astonishment!

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Prey won't come to you on its own!"

Hogun's eyes were cold, his words resonating with authority. Roar!

The Asgardian recruits snapped out of their daze, grabbed their weapons, and rushed toward the primeval forest outside the military camp. Before them stretched towering trees, and the faint roars of wild beasts echoed through the air.

The bloody battle began. The recruits stormed into the dense forest outside the city like unleashed wild dogs. The knife fell with sudden violence! Unstoppable!

The essence of manhood was fully displayed. From the initial encounters, one could gauge the recruits' strength and, through the prey they selected, infer their courage and skill!

"Orion?"

"Aren't you going to take action yet?"

Fandral's eyes held a note of surprise.

"Not urgent."

"Let them start for ten minutes."

Orion remained calm. He was no ordinary mystic Sorcerer. The intense battles in this mysterious dimension had forged his mind and will to be exceptionally strong. If he intervened immediately, it would be akin to bullying a kindergarten child.

"Ha ha!"

"What confidence!"

"Orion!"

"Asgardian beasts can be quite different from Midgardian ones."

"Don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up."

Thor casually tossed his hammer into the air and then caught it again, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. 'God factor. Is it really as powerful as Father Odin claimed?'

When Orion saw Thor's hammer, a thought crossed his mind. "Can I lift Thor's hammer?"

"Currently… Odin hasn't cast a spell on Thor's hammer yet!"

"There might also be another spell that prevents anyone other than Thor from lifting it."

Orion pondered this in his mind. Rune weapons were Asgard's secret, with a confidentiality level akin to the sling ring!

He doubted there were no protective measures!

However, there was no need to covet Thor's hammer. He had no interest in it. It would be ideal if he could meet the Dwarf King Eitri through Thor and have Eitri craft a special weapon for him!

"It's about time."

"I hope you won't favor the new recruits."

Orion smiled.

In an instant, a portal opened out of thin air. Orion stepped through it and emerged directly in the heart of the dense forest. He was not idle. He continuously observed the entire jungle!

This area was also uncharted territory for the new recruits. The aura emitted by the Asgardian beasts was the most intense here! Since this was a competition, one had to choose the largest beast to prove their strength.

"..."

"This place!"

"Are you certain you want to go?"

Volstagg's expression tightened.

"Since he has made his choice, we should not interfere."

Hogun stopped him immediately, though a glint of light shone in his eyes.

From deep in the woods came the presence of ancient beasts that were gradually gaining wisdom! It was said these ancient beasts were centuries older than Volstagg and Heimdall. The three warriors of Asgard did not dare to venture into this area recklessly.

Orion… you are truly brave…
