Everyone's a Hunter? I'm a Hunter x Hunter!

At 10 o'clock, the career advancement officially begins.

"Gentlemen, I'm entrusting this matter to you." The president of the Hunter Association should have been offering his blessings to the hunters who were about to participate in their professional advancement, but instead, the chief steward of the Nantian Port City Lord's Mansion appeared before the hunters.

What was said was not a word of blessing.

The hunters who were not eligible to participate in this career advancement were completely confused by what the steward was saying.

The hunters who were about to enter the professional advancement realm knew this all too well.

They are about to enter the professional advancement secret realm to complete their advancement, and they will also be fighting against [The Feast], one of the three top evil organizations.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

"bass!"

A streak of light appeared behind the steward, and the spatial gate to the secret realm had opened. He didn't waste any more words, turning and stepping aside; after all, this was a special operation, and he'd only say what needed to be said.

Hunters from the five major factions surged forward, beginning to pour into the spatial gate.

"Brother Xiu, I'm leaving now."

"When you see cloud-shaped fireworks in the sky in the secret realm, that's our signal flare to gather," Wang Xiaoming told Lü Xiu in a low voice, then turned back to Ye Qianxue's side.

A signal flare for assembly?

Other organizations should also have corresponding set signals, right?

Lu Xiu remembered that the teleportation was random when entering the professional advancement secret realm. It was easy to accidentally land in a dangerous place, or directly face off against a powerful enemy.

Therefore, people from powerful groups will quickly assemble as soon as they enter.

Unfortunately, the Golden Gathering is such a loose organization that there's no signal for a reunion; everyone fights independently. Most people probably aren't even thinking of going to fight the Banquet organization; they're just after their job advancements.

Following the flow of people, Lü Xiu quickly arrived at the gate of space.

As his body disappeared into the portal, all he saw was pitch blackness that even those with dark vision couldn't penetrate.

It was a very strange feeling. Lü Xiu felt like he was in water, but he could breathe. It might be because he possessed the "Swimming Fish Pearl".

When the darkness before him was dispelled, Lü Xiu found himself standing on a vast, boundless, withered yellow grassland.

Look up and gaze into the distance.

Like the spine of a giant, towering mountains stretch majestically to the horizon. Their peaks are covered with snow that never melts, resembling ice cream topped with chocolate. The sky above them is a clear, cloudless azure, like a flawless sapphire, enveloping the entire world in its tranquility.

A gentle breeze carried the natural fragrance of vegetation and soil into Lü Xiu's nose.

Yes, I'm exceptionally clear-headed.

This place is serene and magnificent, as if time has stood still, leaving only the breath and heartbeat of nature.

"The environment is still worse than in ancient times."

Without comparison, one wouldn't know. Lu Xiu only remembered that he couldn't see stars when he was on Earth. He never imagined that the present day, filled with mythical beasts and hunting grounds, was so different from the ancient times.

Reach out and open the Mythical Beast Space.

The Nine Netherworld Tiger lazily stepped out from within.

Lu Xiu flipped over and mounted the horse, immediately activating his Flowing Cloud Eyes.

His gaze swept around, searching for the figure of the mythical beast.

Once you enter the realm of career advancement, what is the first and most important thing to do?

Of course, you should advance your career first!

All hunters follow the same first job advancement process: hunting phantom beasts in the job advancement dungeon.

After these mythical beasts die, something called "Original Sin Crystals" condenses on their bodies. By absorbing Original Sin Crystals, one can replenish their original sin. When the original sin is full, one can complete their first job advancement.

The Career Advancement Realm only lasts for fifteen days. Once the fifteen days are up, regardless of whether you have completed the career advancement, you will be teleported back to where you started, unless... you have already died here.

For some deeply sinful and insatiable people, fifteen days might not even be enough time for them to complete their career advancement.

Two kilometers away, a phantom beast with long horns on its head and a shape that looked like a hyena came into Lu Xiu's view. It was strolling on the withered grass, with its name and rank displayed on its head.

"Angry Claw Hyena LV39".

The first prey in the Career Advancement Dungeon has been found!

Lu Xiu reached into his spatial backpack with his left hand and took out the level 30 treasure longbow "Whisper of the Wind Fairy" that his master had given him, and with his right hand he drew out a jet-black armor-piercing arrow.

Draw the bow and pull the string, until the bow is at its fullest!

Grasp the arrow's fletching with your right hand, twist it gently, and the bowstring is taut!

"Boom!"

"Spiral Arrow!"

"Whoosh!"

A streak of dark light flashed across the sky, covering a distance of two thousand meters in a matter of moments.

"Thump!"

The angry-clawed hyena, which was strolling along, suddenly felt a sharp pain in its head. In the blink of an eye, the world spun around it, and darkness completely swallowed its world.

[Defeat the 39th level Furious Claw Hyena, gain 2332 experience. Your level has reached the cap. Please complete your class advancement as soon as possible.]

Two kilometers away, the spiral arrow accurately struck the head.

"Let's go!" Lu Xiu patted the Nine Netherworld Purgatory Tiger beneath him.

The Nine Netherworld Tiger immediately rushed towards the spot where the Angry Claw Hyena had fallen.

...

The Secret Realm for Professional Advancement: The Far North.

A goat-headed man, dressed in a black fitted suit with a white undershirt, standing elegantly and formally with a golden cane at the foot of snow-capped mountains.

Behind him were ten chefs dressed in white chef uniforms and hats, and thirty waiters dressed as waiters. They were of various races, including humans, kobolds, tiger-men, and so on, but without exception, they were all burly, muscular men, all of them gourmet hunters.

"Ah!!! I... surrender... Ah!! Don't hit me!" A young man dressed in blue [Sea Dragon Gang] clothing was being brutally beaten by a chef with a tiger's head and a human body. No matter how much he cried out for surrender, the tiger-headed chef's fists did not lessen their force in the slightest.

"Don't kill it, or the meat will be stale by the time the banquet starts," the goat-headed man said, gazing into the distance without turning his head.

The chef then withdrew his fist, which was as large as a clay pot, and turned to the waiter, instructing, "Drag him away. Let him constantly taste fear. This is the initial seasoning; make sure it's done well."

"Yes," the two waiters said, each holding one of the young men from the Sea Dragon Gang, dragging them into the dark cave.

"Luo Ya," the ram-headed man called out, raising his hand, in which a golden key floated.

If the general manager of Nantian Port were here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance as the key they had lost, the key that could lead to the professional advancement secret realm.

A kobold chef stepped forward.

"The ingredients have been delivered; bring them all into the kitchen," the goat-headed man tossed the keys to the dog-headed man. "Don't keep the guests waiting too long."

The kobold grabbed the golden key.

"Yes, head chef."
