Chapter 9 Hunter!

Qingyun City covers a large area and has a population of hundreds of thousands. The Martial Hall is located in the center of the city. There are many places and facilities for practicing martial arts, and it also occupies a large area.

The purpose of the Martial Hall is to train young warriors and discover outstanding talents for the court and the sect.

Under normal circumstances, students in the Martial Hall will not go out, unless they are students who live in Qingyun City.

Warriors have a pivotal position in this world, and there are actually many ways to make money.

For example, alchemists are a very profitable profession. Spiritual medicine worth hundreds of taels is transformed into elixirs in the hands of alchemists, and the value will be multiplied several times.

There are also formation masters, and various formations that assist in cultivation, attack, and defense are also expensive.

Casters, who make weapons used by warriors, are sought after by countless martial arts practitioners.

These three professions are undoubtedly the most profitable among warriors, but not everyone can do these three professions. First of all, it is talent, followed by inheritance, and the guidance and teaching of famous teachers.

As far as Luo Xiu knows, there are also several students from wealthy families in the Martial Hall who learn alchemy, formations, and casting. The monthly expenses are tens of thousands of taels, which is simply an astronomical figure for him.

But in addition to these three professions, other warriors who want to have a way out have another popular profession, hunter!

There are countless wild beasts and monsters in many deep mountains and swamps. These creatures are born with strong physiques and are blessed by nature. Some materials on their bodies have their own uses and are of extraordinary value.

The profession of hunter also came into being because of this.

In addition to hunting wild beasts and monsters, spiritual medicines, precious materials, ores and other treasures can also be found in deep mountains and swamps, which are also good things needed by alchemists, formation masters, and casting masters.

There is a hunter guild in Qingyun City. If you want to become a junior hunter, the minimum requirement must be the fifth level of body refining. In the past, Luo Xiu's strength was too weak, so he never thought of taking this path.

But in order to improve his cultivation strength faster, the only way he can choose is to become a hunter.

Hunters can accept various tasks from the guild and get revenge after completing them. They can also form teams to go hunting freely. They can deal with the things they get by themselves or sell them to the guild. Some powerful hunters have incomes that are not worse than those of the three special professions.

The Hunter Guild is located in the downtown area, which is also the most bustling and prosperous area in the entire Qingyun City. There is a symbol of two crossed swords on the tall building.

Luo Xiu also came here for the first time. The hall is very spacious. Many warriors hold swords, have strong blood and talk a lot.

"So many masters!"

In Luo Xiu's eyes, the life veins of these warriors are in full view. Through the breath of the life veins, he can distinguish the strength of these people.

He found that there were a lot of martial artists who were in the eighth and ninth levels of body refining here. A kid like him who was in the fifth level of body refining was just a rookie who had just started out. Luo Xiu also saw several martial artists in the Qi Hai realm.

At the age of thirteen, Luo Xiu's face still looked a little immature, so when he came here, he instantly attracted a lot of attention.

"Haha, kid, you look so delicate, but this is the Hunter Guild. Did you go to the wrong place?"

A martial artist of the ninth level of body training pointed at Luo Xiu and laughed. He had a badge with two crossed swords on his chest, which was a symbol of his identity as a hunter.

"I think he should be a student of the Martial Hall. He wants to apply for a hunter badge so that he can show off to other students."

"Hehe, how can a hunter badge be so easy to get? I think this kid will definitely fail, maybe he will even die in it!"

"Not necessarily, maybe this kid can pass?"

"Zhu Lao Ba, do you want to make a bet?"

Luo Xiu ignored these people, but in this environment, he could feel the heroism, freedom, and ease of a martial arts practitioner.

Every hunter here lives a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, with a fierce and murderous aura, but Luo Xiu is not afraid, but rather eager!

"Maybe I have a kind of paranoid passion and madness in my bones, maybe this is the life I really want!" Luo Xiu clenched his fists and walked towards a counter in the Hunter Hall.

The person who received Luo Xiu was a beautiful woman with a professional smile on her face, but she was also stunned when she saw Luo Xiu's young face.

But she quickly recovered and smiled: "Little brother, how can I help you?"

"Little brother?" Luo Xiu's expression was a little embarrassed, but the age problem was not something he could control.

"Hello, I want to apply to become a hunter." Luo Xiu said.

"What?" The beautiful receptionist was stunned again, "Little brother, are you sure you want to apply to become a hunter?"

Luo Xiu nodded without hesitation and added: "My name is Luo Xiu."

Seeing Luo Xiu's slightly flushed cheeks, the beautiful receptionist couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Okay, Luo Xiu little brother."

"Damn!" The little mischievousness of the beautiful receptionist made Luo Xiu roll his eyes.

"Haha, Shanshan, you're not attracted to this guy, are you?"

"Shanshan is the most beautiful girl in our Qingyun City Hunters' Chapter. People who want to pursue her can line up from the south to the north of the city, from the east to the west of the city. Could it be that she likes young grass?"

"Don't, Shanshan, this guy has thin arms and short legs, how can he be as strong and reliable as me?"

Many familiar hunters in the hall joked.

The beautiful receptionist named Shanshan couldn't help blushing when these guys said that. She rolled her eyes and said with her red lips: "If you want to be my man, Jiang Shanshan, wait until you become a four-star hunter."

"Oh my God, a four-star hunter? It seems that I have no chance in this life..."

Many hunters beat their chests and stamped their feet, laughing and playing.

"Hey, I want to apply to become a hunter!" Luo Xiu patted the table, feeling that he was ignored.

Luo Xiu's actions made the hunters in the hall laugh again.

Jiang Shanshan also looked at Luo Xiu, put away the smile on her face, and said seriously: "Brother Luo Xiu, applying for a hunter is not a joke. For your personal safety, I hope you can think carefully before making a decision."

"What? Becoming a hunter is dangerous?" Luo Xiu asked in surprise.

"Haha, this kid is not only a rookie, but also the best of the rookies. He doesn't even know the most basic rules."

"Go home and suck your milk, young man. It's not that easy to be a hunter."

From the discussion of the nearby hunters, Luo Xiu learned that if you want to become a hunter, it is not enough to just meet the conditions for cultivation. You also need to go through an assessment.

There will be certain dangers in the process of the assessment. Without sufficient strength and courage, even a martial artist with the seventh level of body refining may not be able to pass the assessment.

"I want to take the assessment." Luo Xiu said firmly after understanding it.

Silence!

The hall of the entire Hunter Guild suddenly became quiet.

"Boy, you don't have a fever, do you? Since a student of the seventh level of physical training in the intermediate class of the martial arts hall failed and died in the assessment three years ago, except for some students of the eighth level of physical training in the advanced class who can pass the assessment, don't you understand?"

"Yes, Luo Xiu, you are still young, you can wait a few years before taking the assessment." The beautiful receptionist Jiang Shanshan also persuaded.

This time she did not call Luo Xiu little brother, and her expression became more serious.

And more hunters had cold expressions. They had seen many lives and deaths and were no longer surprised. There were not many truly warm-hearted people.

"The hunter assessment is not about cultivation, but actual combat ability. You are facing a first-level monster, not a wild beast!" Jiang Shanshan persuaded again.

"I have made up my mind." Luo Xiu's eyes were firm.

"This kid is so stubborn, let him try." A burly man took a big sip of wine and said.

"Zhou Long, shut up, you will kill him!" Jiang Shanshan glared at the strong man.

"As long as the conditions are met, there should be no reason for the guild to reject my application for the assessment, right?" Luo Xiu tapped the table with his fingers, "Besides, are you so sure that I will die if I go to the assessment?"

"Haha, the young man is quite stubborn, I like it!" The strong man named Zhou Long laughed, "If you pass the assessment, I will let you join my team!"

"What a joke, a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair can pass the assessment? If he passes, I'll twist my head off and let him kick it like a ball!" On the other side, a man with a slight beard said disdainfully.

"Zhou Long, do you dare to make this bet?" The slightly bearded man said loudly.

"Damn it, Guo Huzi, what do you mean?" Zhou Long roared with his eyes wide open.

In Luo Xiu's perception of the life veins, Zhou Long and Guo Huzi's cultivation should be in the Qi Sea Realm. The fact that these two people were fighting over their own assessment issues was something he had never expected.

But no matter what, becoming a hunter is imperative for Luo Xiu, because whether accepting tasks or buying and selling items in the guild, one must be a hunter.

Under Luo Xiu's repeated insistence, Jiang Shanshan took out several pieces of paper, one of which was an application form for the assessment, and she had to fill in her corresponding information. The other pieces of paper were a contract, which roughly meant that if the applicant had any accidents during the assessment, the Hunter Guild would not be responsible.

Luo Xiu did not hesitate. He believed that he could pass the assessment with his own strength. Otherwise, if he could not even pass this level of test, how could he advance to a higher level of martial arts in the future?

With a stroke of the pen, Luo Xiu signed his name, and then a receptionist from the Hunter Guild took Luo Xiu to the assessment site.

"I bet this kid will definitely not pass the assessment!" In the hall, Guo Huzi slammed the table, yelled and glared at Zhou Long, and said, "Zhou Long, do you dare to bet?"

Both of them have a small team, and they don't like each other on weekdays, and often confront each other.

With so many people present, seeing his old rival Guo Huzi so arrogant, Zhou Long was also a little angry. He stood up and kicked the stool away, angrily saying, "I bet with you!"
