"Your strength has passed the test; co with , and I'll take you to the eting room of our Black Mine City Hunter Division."
Tie Xiong straightened his collar, gave up on showing off his muscles, and continued forward along the gravel path of the open-air training ground.
The final assessnt...
Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his face and looked up at the sky.
The day was blazing hot, and before he knew it, it was already noon.
To complete the Hunter Association's professional assessnt within a day was indeed difficult.
Chen Qi followed Tie Xiong's footsteps up the spiral staircase to the Association's towering headquarters.
An antique iron door appeared before them.
And just at that mont, a grey mouse scurried past his toes.
The Boss is here! Tie Xiong instantly broke out into a cold sweat, stopped in his tracks, and then advised:
"Newcor, let remind you that the Hunters are not as you imagine them to be, and our boss is not soone you should ss with."
Then, Tie Xiong placed his hand on the door and slowly pushed it open:
"Today happens to be the ti when we update our assignnts. Go inside and find our divisional Association President, Grey Mouse; he will assign you a task."
Tie Xiong kindly reminded:
"Lastly, take my advice: it's best to keep a respectful fear of our boss's words and learn to refuse properly. There are so things you can't handle."
In the Hunter Association, more daunting than being insulted and abused by high-ranking mbers, is taking on tasks that are beyond one's own scale.
Grey Mouse... Chen Qi vaguely rembered this person, as he walked into the Hunter Association's conference area through the heavy iron door.
The Hunter Association is an organization that upholds freedom, with exceptionally simple internal rules: accept a task, then complete it.
Those who complete many tasks obtain more information and beco the leaders of the Hunter Association organization.
Chen Qi looked around.
This was a eting hall with a round table, and sitting around it were prestigious Third-order Transcendents.
Third-tier Transcendents, before the Crack Tide, were all powerful leaders.
However, at the mont, there were only three people at the round table, with most attendees being standing Second-order Transcendents.
Three Third-tier Transcendents, and over thirty Second-tier Transcendents.
And at the main seat of the round table sat a Hunter draped in a grey coat, wearing old Hunter garb underneath, while his right hand toyed with a pitiful little grey mouse.
His face wasn't very old, around thirty, but his hair was already graying, and the skin that showed was horribly withered, like dry bark.
He was the division president of the Black Mine City Hunter Association, a Third-tier Blade Phase professional, Bounty Hunter.
High-order Blade Phase profession... Chen Qi rembered this person.
The individual was a well-known figure in Black Mine City and a very rare Bounty Hunter in the Witch Sea.
This was a special profession that could complete bounty tasks to earn special currency and exchange for Transcendent items and attributes with greedy otherworldly rchants.
As a Third-tier profession, he already had access to the special entity "Greed," and as a Blade Phase profession, he possessed formidable single-combat capabilities.
And Grey Mouse was a veteran Bounty Hunter, known in the underworld as the Grey Hunter!
Shell Country held vast knowledge of shell and Hamr Phases, and a Blade Phase often signified the power of direct combat, and without a doubt, Grey Mouse was among the best.
Even with Residual Fire Touch, he would not be a match for the man, perhaps not even able to last thirty seconds...
Chen Qi rembered that this division president was only a step away from becoming a Fourth Rank Legend.
Besides, Grey Mouse had a vast network of connections behind him; he had tight links to the underworld, as well as deep connections with a Fourth Rank legendary Cardmaker. He held extrely special Skill Cards and a large number of general-purpose Skill Cards in his hands.
And these Skill Cards could only be obtained by completing significant tasks in Black Mine City.
In addition, Grey Mouse was also the pioneer of the underworld route, enabling one to enter the underground maps of the new-day world "the Gutter" through him.
A pivotal figure in Black Mine City.
Why would such a person appear in the conference room at this ti?
Normally, the boss of the Association wouldn't preside over a re Hunter eting.
Why? Could it be that Grey Mouse had so significant task?
Chen Qi couldn't help but speculate.
As Chen Qi stepped into the eting hall, Grey Mouse adjusted his hat and asked:
"Newcor?"
"Yes, I've just completed the first two assessnts, and I'm here for the last one."
"Oh?"
Grey Mouse's eyes shifted slightly, and he folded his hands into a fist:
"Newcor, you should know that a new era has descended; with the arrival of the Crack Tide, we Hunters no longer need boring fringe elents. We need adventurers, the fearless who dare to complete any task.
This ans Hunters holding new Second-tier Hunter licenses must possess strength beyond the average Second-tier Transcendent!"
What a hassle... Chen Qi felt an ominous sensation:
"I am quite confident in my own abilities. Even if it's a Blade Phase from the Black Blood Empire, I believe I can defeat them."
Chen Qi twirled the collector in his hand.
Normally, the host of this eting should have been an ordinary Third-tier Transcendent.
But he never expected that Grey Mouse would be the one presiding over this eting, and even engaging him in direct conversation.
