Chapter 420: Chapter 420 – Compet.i.tion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The battle was quickly resolved, and the speed was much faster than the average person could imagine.
Under the shocked gaze of the middle-aged man, Chen Heng raised his knife and swung it down. He did not expend much energy and knocked down the ferocious beast in front of him.
Following that, he slaughtered, bled, and skinned it in one go. The entire movement looked extremely smooth, causing people to be dumbstruck at first glance.
Standing on the spot, looking at Chen Heng’s actions, even the middle-aged man at the side was a little stunned. He didn’t understand why Chen Heng’s actions were so smooth.
Looking at the scene before him, it was as if he had done it many times before. In fact, that was indeed the case.
Logically speaking, Chen Heng’s ident.i.ty in this world was that of a Beastmaster, a born n.o.ble existence. Naturally, he wouldn’t have anything to do with a job like slaughtering.
However, in the past, Chen Heng had also been a hunter. In the past, during his first simulation, he obtained the ident.i.ty of a hunter.
During that simulation, Chen Heng already had a wealth of experience in this type of work. It was just a mere slaughtering. It didn’t take much effort at all.
Not to mention just slaughtering. Even the details were done extremely well. It was just that he hadn’t used this technique for a long time, so he was a little rusty. Other than that, he still looked pretty good.
At least on the side, the middle-aged man in charge of this place was stunned. It took a long time for him to recover.
“How is it?”
Chen Heng dealt with the ferocious beast in front of him. Then, he turned around and looked at the middle-aged man beside him. Then, he asked, “Can I stay?”
At this moment, because he had just completed a slaughter, he looked scary. His body was stained with scarlet blood, and even his face had traces on it. He looked a little terrifying.
He looked completely different from a teenager. The middle-aged man in front of him was stunned by what he saw.
After a long while, he finally returned to his senses and hurriedly nodded. “Yes.”
“If you want to work here, of course, we welcome you.”
“As for the remuneration, how about 10,000 dollars per month?”
He looked at Chen Heng in front of him. After some thought, he offered a price.
“Sure.” Chen Heng’s expression was calm. He nodded, indicating that he agreed.
The offered price was still considered fair. It was even higher than the usual remuneration for work. It was probably because of his skilled methods and his ident.i.ty as a Beastmaster.
With a monthly income of 10,000, he could definitely live very well in this world. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the monthly income of many middle-cla.s.s families would be this much.
Of course, this place can only offer this much amount. At the very least, if Chen Heng went out with his status as a Beastmaster and looked for a random job, the pay would definitely be higher than this one.
Chen Heng didn’t come to this place to work for such a small reward. He came to work here mainly because of the nature of the job.
Working in a slaughterhouse was considered a miscellaneous job for ordinary people. Unless it were absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t want to come.
A Beastmaster like Chen Heng wouldn’t even glance at the job. However, for Chen Heng, there was another benefit.
The slaughter divinity in his body could be obtained through continuous killing. From there, he could obtain a steady stream of slaughter power to improve himself.
It was also because of this that this job was more suitable for Chen Heng.
After all, only here would he have the opportunity to kill in large numbers, killing all kinds of creatures.
Based on the content and nature of this job, even if Chen Heng wasn’t paid, he would still choose to give it a try. Not to mention there was an additional reward.
After a moment, Chen Heng left with great satisfaction. In just one day, the slaughter power in his body rapidly expanded to a certain extent.
In his body, a huge amount of slaughter power was being continuously generated, gradually fusing into his body and growing it.
According to this rate, coupled with the nourishment and strengthening provided by the divine power in his body, the growth rate was definitely not slow. That was based on Chen Heng’s estimation.
The slaughter power combined with the divine power strengthening could strengthen his strength in the shortest time possible.
It would not be a problem for him to reach the level of a First Ring in half a month’s time.
After his strength reached First Ring, coupled with the enhancement of his telekinesis, his combat strength would be considerable, and he could erupt with even more terrifying strength.
Chen Heng was quite satisfied with this result.
Of course, the manager in charge of Slaughtering City was also very satisfied.
Because in just one day, Chen Heng had slaughtered at least a hundred rare beasts.
Moreover, it was all done by him alone, and he didn’t need anyone else’s a.s.sistance at all.
At first, he had thought of recruiting a few more people in the academy to work here together. But now, it seemed that just Chen Heng alone was enough to fill in for four or five people.
He was naturally very happy. He even gave Chen Heng a raise on the spot, doubling his pay.
After finding a job in the slaughterhouse, Chen Heng returned to his normal life.
During normal times, he would rest in his room or learn about Beastmasters, trying to understand the knowledge of this world.
His main task was to work in the slaughterhouse during normal times, constantly slaughtering all kinds of prey.
Although his days were peaceful, it was quite interesting for Chen Heng.
Soon, more than half a month pa.s.sed. In the early morning, sunlight appeared from the sky and scattered on the Earth.
On an empty square, a high platform had already been built. It stood there, looking magnificent— this was the stage.
It looked ordinary. But in reality, it had many unique features.
In every corner, there were all kinds of instruments. There were also people constantly monitoring this area to prevent any accidents.
At the same time, the compet.i.tion had already begun.
A few Martial Artists were constantly fighting against each other on several stages. Their movements were very fierce, and each move seemed particularly terrifying. If they were to hit an ordinary person’s body, it was likely that the ordinary person would be badly injured.
However, this kind of situation was common in this area. Basically, the strength of the contestants on each stage was very good.
“Are these the students of Dragon City Academy?”
At the back, there was a special screen to record the movements of the contestants on the high stage, a.n.a.lyze their body data, and even the fighting process.
A middle-aged woman stood there, looking at the screens in front of her with excitement. Looking at the content displayed on the screen, her body trembled slightly.
“Manager Liu…”
A voice came from behind the woman and suddenly sounded, “Another preliminaries are about to begin. Do you like to pay attention to it?”
Liu Rou was stunned when she heard this voice standing on the spot. Then, she subconsciously said, “It’s just the preliminaries. Is there anything special about it?”
“Could it be that the opponent is an outstanding student of Dragon City Academy?”
“No, it’s not that…”
Behind Liu Rou, a young man looked at the name list in his hand. He couldn’t help but show a hint of shock on his face. “Between the two sides fighting, one of them is a Beastmaster…”
“What? A Beastmaster?”
Hearing this, Liu Rou was immediately stunned. She was a little puzzled. “Are they the people we invited over?”
“Why were they in the preliminaries?”
In compet.i.tions like theirs, to make the compet.i.tion more popular and attractive, they would often invite some excellent Beastmaster to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, creating controversy and making the compet.i.tion more popular.
Of course, such invitations would cost money.
The time of those excellent Beastmasters was very precious. They basically didn’t have much time to partic.i.p.ate in some unimportant compet.i.tions.
Therefore, it would cost a lot of money to invite these people over.
People who had spent a lot of money to invite over would usually only show up in the semi-finals or finals.
But now, there is a Beastmaster in the preliminaries?
Liu Rou couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
“No, it doesn’t seem to be…”
Hearing Liu Rou’s words, the young man beside her shook his head. He thought a few times seriously but still couldn’t find the name from his memory. “This Beastmaster doesn’t seem to be invited over by us. He signed himself up.”
“What?”
Liu Rou was instantly stunned. At this moment, she thought that was a joke. “We didn’t invite him?”
They didn’t invite him. In other words, he registered himself.
This thought flashed through their minds, and they couldn’t help but become interested.
“Open the projection. Let me take a look at the situation.”
She was intrigued and quickly ordered so.
As her voice rang out, images on the screens began to change slowly.
Numerous instruments began to s.h.i.+ft their targets in the dark, locking their gazes onto a certain figure.
A figure appeared like that very quickly, displaying its own appearance here.
From his appearance alone, he seemed to be a young man.
The young man looked very young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old. His face still looked like a juvenile, but his expression was exceptionally calm. He seemed composed without the slightest hint of frailty that a person of his age should have.
He looked very steady.
Without a doubt, this was the Beastmaster who registered.
“His name seems to be… Lu Kong?”
Liu Rou looked at him with interest and read his name on the list.
Then, she looked at his opponent, who seemed to be a Martial Artist.
He was also from Dragon City Academy, but he was not a Beastmaster but an ordinary Martial Artist.
Although he was only a Martial Artist, as a student of Dragon City Academy, he was naturally also very outstanding. His strength had reached the level of an Official Martial Artist.
This level was definitely not considered weak. He would definitely be a genius if it was brought to the outside world.
Faced with such a Martial Artist, an ordinary Beastmaster would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. There was no other way.
Although a Beastmaster was powerful, he would only s.h.i.+ne in the later stages.
Before possessing an imperial beast, the main strength of a Beastmaster was to rely on their own telekinetic power and use it to strengthen themselves to obtain an increase in strength.
Therefore, before owning an imperial beast, in reality, a Beastmaster would still be at a disadvantage when facing a Martial Artist.
After all, compared to a Beastmaster who trained their telekinetic power all day long, a Martial Artist who trained their body all day long and acc.u.mulated battle experience was much stronger than an ordinary Beastmaster in terms of actual combat ability.
So, what would be the final result facing the situation before them?
Liu Rou and her a.s.sistant looked at the screen in front of them, their gazes filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Very soon, the brawl began. On the screen, the Martial Artist began to launch a probing attack.
After all, they didn’t know their opponent’s ident.i.ty during the brawl and what kind of ability the opponent had in advance.
Thus, one would want to test him out so that one could make a counter plan.
However, in the face of such a test, what would that Beastmaster do?
Liu Rou’s face was filled with antic.i.p.ation as this thought flashed through her mind.
However, very soon, the result that left her dumbstruck was revealed.
On the screen in front of her, the Beastmaster quickly made his move. He directly threw a punch, instantly repelling that Martial Artist. Then, he quickly turned around, slanting his body and smas.h.i.+ng the Martial Artist down.
Bang!
The Martial Artist fell to the ground and was pushed off the stage with a heavy blow. The winner and loser were decided immediately.
There was a moment of silence on the spot. After a long while, they finally reacted.
“What in the world…”
Liu Rou’s face showed some hesitation as if she was not sure. “Are you sure that this is a Beastmaster and not an excellent Martial Artist?”
“He… should be…”
Her a.s.sistant looked at the scene displayed on the screen in front of him and also inexplicably became a little uncertain.
After all, the situation in front of them was really too bizarre.
A Beastmaster against a Martial Artist, and the result was determined in a moment.
The Beastmaster directly made a move and took down the warrior in a minute.
Looking at that fierce technique, decisive action, and that incomparably terrifying physical quality, it was more of a Martial Artist than anything else.
If he didn’t say that he was a Beastmaster, then most people would definitely regard him as a Martial Artist.
At this time, Liu Rou and the other man were almost a little curious. Could it be that the information was miswritten?
After careful consideration, it was also unlikely.
A special person would verify the name list of the compet.i.tion. The ident.i.ty information inside had to be compared with the database of Dragon City Academy. Only after confirming that it was a match would it be confirmed. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pa.s.s the verification.
After all, their compet.i.tion this time was held for the students of Dragon City Academy.
It wouldn’t be possible for a random person to fill in the information randomly and partic.i.p.ate for free.
Therefore, the information on this list should be accurate. The possibility of error was very small.
Then, the ident.i.ty of the Beastmaster in front of her should be legit? But what was with that fierce skill?
“The device didn’t light up…”
Standing on the spot, Liu Rou shook her head and looked at the detection device at the side. “It looks like he did use his own power just now. He didn’t use any telekinesis at all.
“It’s just that… he didn’t use any telekinetic power at all, yet he’s already at this level…”
As if recalling something, her expression looked a little strange. “This Beastmaster isn’t also a martial artist, right?”
This thought flashed through her mind.
“However, this can also be considered a good thing.”
Standing behind Liu Rou, the young man looked at the name list and said, “At least this way, the compet.i.tion will be more exciting.”
“We can also complete our own missions and find more people worth paying attention to and investing in.”
“I hope so.”
Hearing this, Liu Rou nodded in agreement.
“That’s it.”
Standing on the high platform, Chen Heng casually knocked his opponent down. Feeling his opponent’s strength, he couldn’t help but shake his head in disappointment.
From the looks of it, he had overestimated the students in the academy.
The strength of the student just now was indeed not bad. According to Chen Heng’s standards, he should have the strength of an apprentice. Even in the Karo Kingdom in the World of G.o.ds, he could barely be considered a notable figure.
However, in Chen Heng’s eyes, this level of strength was still somewhat disappointing.
After all, this was one of the best academies on this planet.
Based on the population of this world and the proportion of people who practiced martial arts, anyone who could enter this academy should be a genius that stood out from tens of thousands of people. They should be a true prodigy that was one in ten thousand.
Only such people could stand out and enter this academy. And now, he was at this level.
This couldn’t help but disappoint Chen Heng. But very quickly, he adjusted his mood and changed his state of mind.
“However, perhaps the opponent is only a low-grade student and hasn’t gone through the experience of time yet. Who knows…”
No matter how outstanding a genius was, he still needed sufficient time to grow and become a true expert.
The students who were able to enter this academy were undoubtedly true geniuses.
It was just that when they entered this academy, they might not have enough time to grow and were still in their most tender state.
It was actually very normal for their strength to not reach Chen Heng’s expectations in this state.
Moreover, the martial arts of this world were actually not very complete in Chen Heng’s opinion.
This caused the cultivation of Martial Artists much more difficult than it should be.
This might have also caused the strength of the Martial Artists of this world to be slightly inferior.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.. Then, he turned around and left this place, walking to the side.
