Chapter 152 Tengda Group Is Only So-so

The three of them turned around and saw a muscular man in black armor with gold edging stride over.

"Chu Zhiguo…" Chu Yunfan spat out. He recognized the fellow. It was none other than Chu Zhiguo who had harassed Lu Qingxuan.

Chu Zhiguo's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. He had not expected to see that detestable brat here.

"Chu Yunfan. Your name is Chu Yunfan, right? Those perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pills from Lu Qingxuan's company are related to you, right?" Chu Zhiguo looked at Chu Yunfan coldly and said. His eyes were filled with a desire to tear Chu Yunfan to pieces.

If it was not for this d*mned kid, he could have forced Lu Qingxuan to submit long ago. Now, not only had he failed to force Lu Qingxuan to submit, Lu Qingxuan had even broken through his blockade. Those distributors did not give him any face at all. He felt humiliated. Recently, there were even people who used this matter to mock him. The dignified young master of the Tengda Group was now being ruthlessly slapped in the face by someone in the field with whom he was most familiar. This feeling was too bitter. It was simply too embarrassing!

In the big families, some were good-for-nothing. What was even more embarrassing was that they were not even good-for-nothing. They had even failed to use their power to suppress others.

And after his investigation during this period of time, it was very likely that it was related to this kid. He had looked into the few alchemists who were currently working for Lu Qingxuan. They were all from other base satellite ities. With the strength of the Tengda Group, it was very easy to find their roots. However, they were just some alchemy trainees. They were not powerful people. Even if they were beaten to death, they would not be able to concoct perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pill. With no one else intervening, the only possibility was Chu Yunfan.

Chu Zhiguo had also bribed the staff of Lu Qingxuan's company. He knew that the batch of Meridians Cleansing Pills that had helped Lu Qingxuan overcome the crisis had come from Chu Yunfan. This made him even more suspicious that the batch of perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pills had come from Chu Yunfan. This made him gnash his teeth in hatred.

"How could it have anything to do with me? And what does it have to do with you?" Chu Yunfan said to Chi Zhiguo as he sneered. He had killed the members of the Monster Sect. At this moment, Chu Zhiguo's deterrence to him had already been reduced to the minimum. If he had offended him, so be it.

"Good, good, good. Then it definitely has something to do with you. You're dead meat. If you offend Tengda Group, it'll be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the future!" Chu Zhiguo said angrily.

"I remember that you used to threaten Ms. Lu like this. What about now? I think the Tengda Group is only so-so," Chu Yunfan said mockingly.

The Tengda Group is just so-so? Bold words!"

A man's deep voice came from not far away. His voice contained some anger. A strong figure walked over from not far away. It was a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his fifties. He was more than two meters tall. When he walked over from afar, it was as if a small mountain was walking over. The pressure he exude was huge. He was wearing black armor, and he looked mighty even without being angry.

'An expert in the Acquired Stage!' Chu Yunfan thought to himself. His heart trembled as he immediately made a judgment.

This middle-aged man was much more terrifying than the elite members of the Monster Sect that he had met. He was definitely an expert in the Acquired Stage that was above the Energy Refinement Stage.

Once an expert reached the Acquired Stage, he could easily become a colonel-level officer of the army like Xue Bailong. However, Chu Yunfan could keenly sense that although they were both in the Acquired Stage, Xue Bailong was still a little stronger. This middle-aged man was clearly weaker. Even so, he still had a crushing advantage against them.

The last time he faced a member of the Monster Sect, he could use tricks to plot against the other party. However, he knew that if his opponent at that time was this middle-aged man, it would be useless even if he used tricks. He was very strong.

"Uncle Zuo, why are you here?" At this time, Chu Zhiguo could not help but say when he saw this man

"I'm here to see who has such a big mouth and actually dares to look down on Tengda Group!" the man called Uncle Zuo said.

"Are you trying to get in our way? If you don't move, I'll call security," Tang Siyu said as she stepped forward.

The man called Uncle Zuo and Chu Zhiguo stared at the three people coldly, but they did not dare to continue to stop them. To cause trouble in the Hunters' Association was courting death. Let alone Acquired Stage experts, even Innate Stage experts could not withstand a single blow from the association. Such a colossus was a terrifying existence even within human society.

"Just wait, you're dead meat!" Chu Zhiguo said as he watched the three people leave.

"Zhiguo, what's the background of these people?" Uncle Zuo asked indifferently, "What big words, they have no respect for the Tengda Group!"

Chu Zhiguo and Uncle Zuo were very close. This man had watched him grow up, so Chu Zhiguo did not hide what had happened. He told him everything. "You mean, not only can he concoct a large batch of Meridians Cleansing Pills in a short time, but he can concoct a batch of perfect-quality ones?" Uncle Zuo quickly grasped the key point in Chu Zhiguo's words. He worked for an alchemy company like the Tengda Group, so he knew very well what kind of ability this was.

It was not uncommon to even make one perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pill. But to make a whole batch of perfect-quality ones was an amazing ability.

That's right, that's exactly it. Although I don't know if that batch of perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pill was refined by him, it definitely has something to do with him," Chu Zhiguo said, "Uncle Zuo, I have an idea. Judging from their attire, they must be planning to hunt monsters in the wild. We can't do anything to them in the city, but in the wild, it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive. Killing them is something that can be done quietly. No matter what methods they have to concoct pills, it'd be useless if they're dead!"

In human society, the inside and outside of the city were two completely different worlds. In the city, there was order and there were very few crimes.

However, once they left the city, it was unprecedented darkness. There were basically no legal restrictions. Every year, countless people died in the wilderness and disappeared. Chu Zhiguo knew this very well.

Chapter 153 Change in Mental State

A sinister expression flashed across Chu Zhiguo's face. It was obvious that he had been planning to kill Chu Yunfan for a long time. If it was not for Chu Yunfan, he would not have been mocked by others.

"Kill him? Wouldn't that be letting him off too easily?" A cold smile appeared on Uncle Zuo's face. "Doesn't he have the ability to concoct perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pills? Capture him, throw him in the company's dungeon, and have him concoct perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pills for us for all eternity. Isn't that better than killing him? Killing him would end things too quickly. Other than venting our hatred, what else would we get?"

Chu Zhiguo's face could not help but reveal a look of sudden realization. He said, "As expected of you, Uncle Zuo. You're so farsighted. Killing him would be letting him off too easily. But what if those perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pills weren't refined by him?"

"Then we'll kill him and feed him to the dogs. What's the point of keeping a person who has no value," Uncle Zuo said coldly and mercilessly, "I'm just worried that there's someone behind him. He's only a teenager, but he can concoct perfect-quality Meridians Cleansing Pills. He doesn't look like a person without roots!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Zuo. I've already checked. He doesn't have any roots at all. His family members are just ordinary citizens. Moreover, as long as we make a clean move, even if there's someone behind him, they won't be able to track us. Every year, at least 80,000 people die in the wild. How would they find them all?" Chu Zhiguo said with a sinister smile.

"All right, follow me to hand in the mission. Then, get someone to keep an eye on them. Report their location at all times. Wait until we're out of the city. Then, we'll take action," Uncle Zuo said.

"Yes, sir," Chu Zhiguo said. After Chu Yunfan and the other two left the mission hall, Gao Hongzhi asked, "Yunfan, who is Chu Zhiguo?"

Chu Yunfan told him about the relationship between Chu Zhiguo and Lu Qingxuan.

"F*ck, this guy is too despicable!" Gao Hongzhi could not help cursing.

Although he could be considered the second generation of the rich, his family had been very strict with him since he was young. He would not have been able to do such a thing. Otherwise, he would not have become good friends with Chu Yunfan.

A look of disgust flashed through Tang Siyu's eyes. This kind of man was undoubtedly the type of person that women hated the most. It was one thing for him to chase after women normally, but he actually used such a despicable method to force the other party to submit.

"Trash!" Tang Siyu parted her red lips and said these two words.

"He's just trash! F*ck, I'd beat up this person every time I see him!" Gao Hongzhi cursed loudly.

"You can't beat him." Chu Yunfan came up with a godly finishing blow which immediately deflated Gao Hongzhi's ego.

However, Gao Hongzhi was revived with full health. He said, "I'm still young, right? I'm the same age as him. I'll torture him to death!" "I think he has bad intentions toward you. He doesn't look like he'll let you go easily," Tang Siyu said as she frowned.

"I know." Chu Yunfan nodded.

His senses were much sharper than Tang Siyu's. He could sense killing intent from Chu Zhiguo and that Uncle Zuo. The two of them had killing intent toward him. This kept him on his toes.

It seemed that this wilderness training would not be so simple. However, he did not regret it. Although he did not want to cause trouble, a man had to do what he had to do. If he had to compromise on everything, then what was the meaning of life?

"I found it. The man just now is called Zuo Wenbin. I checked online. This man is not easy to deal with. He's an expert in the Acquired Stage and the number one revered expert of the Tengda Group," Gao Hongzhi relayed the information he had found, "There's not much information about him on the Internet, but he's definitely not a good person!" "This Zuo Wenbin works for the Tengda Group all year round. However, he mainly hunts monsters in the wild or gathers medicinal herbs that are not easy to collect for the Tengda Group. He can be considered a fighter for the Tengda Group. He's very dangerous," Gao Hongzhi said. "Yes, we have to be careful. Those two people obviously won't let the matter go. However, we can't give up eating for fear of choking. This is also a tempering to martial skills. We're still at the beginning of the cultivation stage. The correct path is to advance bravely. If we cower and fear because of this and don't dare to go out, then we won't achieve anything great in our lives!" Chu Yunfan said.

After he finished speaking, he felt as if he had changed. It was not a change in his strength, but a change in his state of mind. What was valiant and vigorous progress. It was not a reckless and brainless head-on confrontation. It was a spirit that dared to wield his sword even in the face of a strong enemy. Many people understood this principle, but if they had not experienced it personally, it would be difficult for them to truly understand the great principle behind it.

"That's right. Brave and vigorous. It's fine if they don't come. But if they do, we have to prepare a generous gift for them," Gao Hongzhi said.

Tang Siyu's eyes also became big and bright. She understood her own path. It was a transformation in her state of mind. The three of them felt that they had understood something

"Let's go get our hunters' license first," Chu Yunfan said.

The three of them entered the hunters' examination building. Seeing the age of the trio, the staff in charge of registration was surprised. As he watched the trio get their admission cards and go to prepare for the exam, he could not help but say to himself, "High schoolers again. Why are all the high school students here taking the exam?"

e

"Students nowadays are more powerful than the previous generation. Back then, I was in the Qi Sea Stage. That was enough to get into university. But now, I wouldn't be able to get in," an older staff member sighed.

"Yeah. If these students were us back then, they would be among the top elites in Donghua City. But now, there are more and more of them. Dong Fanghao, the number one high schooler in Donghua City, is so strong that he has broken through the sky. He already reached the Energy Refinement Stage half a year ago!" another staff member sighed.

"We humans are getting stronger and stronger. This is a good thing. The righteous path of humans is filled with vicissitudes of life!"

Many of the staff members stood around sighing before the next person came forward to register.

Chu Yunfan and the other two took their admission passes and headed to the examination hall. There were already quite many people lining up in the examination hall.

"How could this be? Why did the standards of the hunters' exam rise again this year?"

A person walked out dejectedly of the assessment room. He had obviously failed.

Chapter 154 Theirs Faces Were Crippled

Someone walked out of the exam room with a depressed expression. They looked completely dejected.

However, many people in the queue did not have the slightest sympathy for him. They mocked him and said, "That person must be stupid. To take the examination for the hunter license now, he must be at least at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Stage."

"Has the standard been raised to this extent? But I saw on the Internet that it was the third level?" someone asked in puzzlement. "The standard had just been raised. This is the new standard that the Hunters' Association just issued. Now that the monsters are becoming more and more ferocious, wouldn't it be suicide if they don't have enough strength?" someone said. It was obvious that he had received the news a long time ago.

Over the years, humans had been improving, but the monsters had also been improving. As Spirit Energy became denser, the monsters' mutation had also become more and more powerful. Their evolutions had also become more and more powerful. If it was not for the fact that humans had excavated the remains of the Ancient Zenith Civilization, the speed of their improvement would probably not be able to keep pace with the monsters. The natural evolution speed of monsters was shockingly fast.

A few hundred years ago, anyone in the Physical Stage could become a monster hunter. And now, this standard has been raised to the fifth level of the Qi Sea Stage.

"Eh, why are there high schoolers here?"

Someone noticed that there were three high school students. It was as if they had discovered a new continent. Many of these people were university students—and even students who had graduated. They were only rookies, and many of them had graduated from liberal arts universities. This was the tragedy of not being able to pass the exam. When they saw a few young high schoolers within the group, they could not help but reveal a strange expression.

"You guys should go back. You guys haven't even weaned off your mother's breast milk

yet!"

"Hurry up and go back. Hunting monsters isn't child's play!"

"Seriously now, high schoolers don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!"

"What's wrong with being a high schooler? If we can pass the exam, are you going to kneel down and bow down to us?" Gao Hongzhi said. He slammed his spear fiercely on the ground as he looked at those people with mocking expressions. "I'll take that bet. I don't believe that high schoolers can defy the heavens!" someone directly shouted. Others echoed him.

right. Then let us take the exam first. After the exam, we'll know the results," Gao Hongzhi said.

"Okay, you guys take the exam first!" someone said, and the others also agreed one after another. They wanted to see the trio make fools of themselves.

"Well, then I won't be polite!"

Gao Hongzhi swaggered to the front of the group. Chu Yunfan followed behind and gave him a thumbs up. These people were trying to goad them into taking the test. Unfortunately, those people had not reacted yet. They wanted the three of them to take the test first. They probably did not want to believe that high schoolers nowadays were so powerful. This was common sense after all. The children of humanity would be more powerful with each generation. From their point of view, with the current standards of the Hunter's Association, only university graduates could pass the exam.

Soon, it was their turn to take the exam. Another person who took the exam walked out dejectedly. Gao Hongzhi walked in alone. The others were waiting. Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu were waiting for the results, while the others were waiting to see a joke.

Not long after, the green light above the room lit up, indicating that Gao Hongzhi had passed the assessment. If he did not pass, the red light would turn on. Then, they saw Gao Hongzhi walk out proudly as he held his spear. He pointed at those people and said, "How about it? Who said that you'd kneel and kowtow just now? Now that I've passed the assessment, hurry up and do so."

Many people immediately turned their heads away. Are you kidding me? Do they really have to kneel down and kowtow? It would be too embarrassing. As university students, they were surpassed by high schoolers and were even looked down upon.

Finally, someone could not hold on under Gao Hongzhi's disdainful gaze. He could not help but say, "Even if you pass, you can't say that. The two of them definitely won't pass."

"Why? Do you want to bet?" Gao Hongzhi said as he glanced at the crowd. However, this time, no one dared to continue. Previously, they had mocked the three of them. But now, they still felt the burning pain. They had been slapped in the face.

What if the two of them could pass as well? Wouldn't that be even worse?

As the saying went, good things do not work quickly. After Tang Siyu entered, it did not take long for her to pass. It was actually even shorter than the time Gao Hongzhi had taken. Many of the people fell silent. They only felt their faces burning in shame.

Finally, it was Chu Yunfan's turn to go in. Many people had expectant eyes. Please do not pass. At least there was one fail. Otherwise, their faces would be crippled.

Chu Yunfan entered the room and saw that in a corner stood the invigilator who was a staff member. In the middle of the room, there was a robot that was as tall as a person.

The staff raised his head and saw Chu Yunfan. He could not help but say, "Why is it another high schooler? Are all high school students so strong nowadays?" he could not help but mutter. Two high schoolers had come in a row just now and they were both very strong. Now, another one had come.

Chu Yunfan could not help but find it funny when he heard this. He grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'm the last one!"

The staff's face instantly turned red. Then, he said seriously, "You can attack the robot in front of you. Use your full strength. It'll determine whether you have passed or not based on the situation between you and it. Once you pass, it'll stop!"

"Understood."

Chu Yunfan pulled out his Shadowless Saber from behind his back and made his move.

He took a step forward and slashed down.

Quick!

Quick!

Quick!

This slash was extremely fast.

The staff glanced at Chun Yunfan and was immediately shocked. The two high schoolers from before were already very strong, and now there was an even stronger one-even more terrifying

And just as Chu Yunfan's slash landed, the robot instantly moved. A terrifying aura instantly erupted from its body, as if a real martial arts expert had awakened. It raised its hand and blocked Chu Yunfan's blade.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing caused sparks to fly in all directions. Then, the robot's other hand shot toward Chu Yunfan. It was similar to an ordinary martial arts expert.

Chu Yunfan stomped his foot and took a few steps back to dodge the punch. Then, he raised his saber and charged forward.

Clang! Clang!

Clang! After another ten moves, the robot stopped. A muffled electronic voice came from its mouth. "Pass!"
