The Secret Realm challenge has ended.
Full marks!
"That's great, Ye Ming, you've successfully completed one part of the Hall entry assessment!" Ying Youyou said with a smile.
Ye Ming nodded, but he was more curious now about when he could accept an assassination mission.
It had been a long time since he killed anyone, and his hands were getting a bit rusty.
After exiting the Secret Realm.
Ye Ming also received his reward.
Electromagnetic gloves!
A brand new technological product, an offensive mechanical weapon.
It could release powerful electromagnetic pulses, so much so that even a Second-Tier Vicious Beast couldn't withstand ten electromagnetic pulses.
Of course, the electromagnetic pulses could also cause a simple paralyzing effect on enemies.
"It might be useful for others."
"But for me, it's just a mascot."
As soon as Ye Ming put away the electromagnetic gloves.
He saw two figures walking towards him.
"Congratulations, Ye Ming, for successfully passing the Mechanical Tunnel."
"I really didn't expect you, kid, to have this kind of strength."
"Some Third-Tier Contract Masters might not even get full marks in this Mechanical Tunnel!"
Jiang Qingyi did not stint on his praise.
He found Ye Ming more and more pleasing to the eye now.
As expected of a talent from Cangnan City!
He's just that amazing!
"It's alright, it's alright. I mainly didn't expect the final Third-Tier Mechanical Dragon to be so weak."
Ye Ming joked, bragging in a playful tone.
Sun Houyuan and Jiang Qingyi exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.
"Good, good, good, you're even starting to get proud in front of us two."
"But pride is fine, just don't get complacent."
"The Martial Arts Grand Examination is in a month; you must prepare well and strive to achieve an excellent result!"
Jiang Qingyi patted Ye Ming's shoulder, full of confidence in him.
Ye Ming nodded heavily, "Okay!"
After a brief conversation with the two big shots.
Ye Ming did not linger.
Looking at his retreating figure.
Jiang Qingyi crossed his arms, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Old Sun, what do you think makes this kid so formidable?"
"Is it the Contracted Demoness he contracted, or is it because he has Max-level Spirituality?"
After a moment of silence, Sun Houyuan shook his head:
"That's a mystery!"
"Perhaps Max-level Spirituality gave him powerful strength in the early stages."
"But don't forget, the greatest danger of a Contracted Demoness is the backlash from killing."
"Ye Ming has just started; who knows if he will be affected by the backlash from killing in the future?"
Actually.
This was also Sun Houyuan's greatest concern.
He valued Ye Ming's assassination talent, which is why he let him join the Susha Hall.
At the same time, he feared that Ye Ming, as a professional killer, would be overwhelmed by bloodlust from long-term combat and thus suffer from the backlash from killing.
For Sun Houyuan and the Susha Hall.
Recruiting Ye Ming was a complete gamble!
If they won, everyone would be happy.
If they lost, it would once again prove that contracting a Contracted Demoness was the most mistaken choice... When Ye Ming arrived at the Teleportation Hall.
His homeroom teacher, was leading the students, preparing to leave.
Completely different from their spirited arrival, almost all the students hung their heads low, feeling somewhat disappointed.
This Intermediate Test made them clearly realize the cruelty of Vicious Beasts and their past naivety and foolishness.
Many students barely managed to pass even after giving their all.
Of course.
Not everyone was disappointed.
Wang Haoyang, as the young master of the Wang family, had received professional training since childhood, so he performed as expected when facing Vicious Beasts.
He successfully collected thirty Hurricane Claws and achieved an excellent score.
As for Liu Yuxuan, who had previously boasted about killing a thousand Vicious Beasts... she had a cold expression, her anger suppressed in her stomach, clenching and unclenching her fists.
This Intermediate Test.
She had not performed to her full potential.
An SS-rank Saintess Contractor, with teammates, should at least kill three hundred Vicious Beasts.
But she only killed one hundred Vicious Beasts.
And she suffered a serious injury.
"That's enough, Yuxuan!"
Teacher gently patted Liu Yuxuan's shoulder, comforting her:
"This is your first time killing a real Vicious Beast; it's normal to make mistakes."
"The teacher hopes you can learn from this experience and strive to perform extraordinarily well in the Martial Arts Grand Examination!"
"But... but teacher."
Liu Yuxuan looked at Teacher expectantly, questioning her,
"Ye Ming also entered the Secret Realm for the first time."
"But why could he kill over a thousand Vicious Beasts?"
"And even Breakthrough to Second-Tier within a day?"
"Everyone is working hard, why does he improve so fast!"
"I'm not convinced!"
Teacher fell silent, her hand on Liu Yuxuan's shoulder slowly moved away, and she finally sighed,
"Contractors shouldn't compare themselves to each other; it's meaningless, Yuxuan, do you understand?"
"I don't understand!"
Liu Yuxuan shouted, a little angry.
Just then.
She suddenly turned her head and spotted Ye Ming, who was about to leave.
She clenched her fists and walked angrily towards Ye Ming.
Ye Ming, who had deliberately kept his distance, was speechless when he saw that Liu Yuxuan had still noticed him.
Damn it!
Next time I go out, I must check the almanac!
"Ye Ming!"
Liu Yuxuan glared, shouting at Ye Ming,
"As classmates, don't you think your behavior is very selfish?"
Ye Ming: "???"
"You clearly have a way to become stronger quickly, but you secretly use it behind everyone's backs, and you even deliberately avoided the beginner and Intermediate Tests."
"Is there any meaning in what you're doing?"
Liu Yuxuan, with a belly full of anger and nowhere to vent, now seeing Ye Ming, wished she could blame all her problems on him.
"Why can't you tell everyone your method of becoming stronger, so we can also be as strong as you?"
"You just love to show off in front of us..."
"What are you throwing a tantrum about!"
Clang!
Before Liu Yuxuan could finish speaking.
Ye Ming pulled out the dagger from his pocket with a flick of his wrist and decisively held it to her neck.
Liu Yuxuan, who had been aggressive moments before, trembled, her pupils suddenly constricted, and the words she hadn't finished got stuck in her throat.
"You, what do you want to do!" Liu Yuxuan's voice trembled.
She hadn't expected it.
Ye Ming, who had been so obedient to her just a few days ago.
Now dared to threaten her with a dagger!
Did he not care about their past relationship at all?
Thinking of this, Liu Yuxuan's nose stung, and she felt immensely wronged.
"Stop putting on that pitiful act in front of me; who are you trying to show it to!"
Ye Ming was not the kind of person who would soften at the sight of a woman crying; he said coldly,
"Don't you want me to tell you the method to become stronger?"
"Come! Let me stab your neck once. As long as you don't die, I'll tell you everything I know. Do you dare to try!"
As Ye Ming spoke, his hand holding the dagger extended slightly forward.
Liu Yuxuan was so scared that she retreated several steps, waving her hands in terror, saying,
"No, no more, I don't want it anymore, I really don't want it anymore."
"Heh, you're scared already?"
"You were so brave when you were using me as a punching bag, but now you're scared when you see a real blade?"
"I thought you were an iron warrior who wasn't afraid of death!"
Ye Ming snorted, too lazy to bother with someone like Liu Yuxuan anymore, and walked directly past her.
He felt his eyes were polluted from seeing too many idiots.
To be honest.
Ye Ming had never been someone who looked down on women.
But Liu Yuxuan's behavior was simply too much.
It was inhuman!
Liu Yuxuan, left standing there, her legs trembled, and she fell to her knees.
In her mind, all she saw was the image of Ye Ming threatening her with a knife; she was furious, deeply wronged, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Ye Ming, he threatened me."
"How could he do this!"
"Wuwuwu."
Teacher, seeing this scene from a distance, could only sigh helplessly.
As a teacher, she really couldn't interfere with such matters!
After leaving the Teleportation Hall.
Ye Ming prepared to go home as if nothing had happened.
Ding ding ding;
Just then.
Sun Houyuan sent a message.
Ye Ming picked up his phone and opened the message, his eyes immediately lighting up.
It was an assassination mission, one of the Hall entry assessments!
The time... was tonight!
