"That's strange... Zhang... I mean, the Hunter should be here..." Ye Peng stood in the square, looking around at the rookie heroes: "Why isn't a single one lying down?"

"Perhaps he's recovered?" Yue Xinyi analyzed. "The ordinary altar failed to remove the curse, so maybe the hero altar is more effective?"

"I say, is the hunter really coming?" The question came from Liu Xingwei, the basketball player who seemed taller and noticeably more muscular than before, suggesting he had undergone significant enhancements.

Beside them, Fang Tianhua, the most senior member of the team, was also present. However, because he and Liu Xingwei didn't benefit from Zhang Lang's support, they advanced to the hero rank a step later than Le Xinyi and Ye Peng. (Google search reading)

As for Su Mingda, although he had already accumulated enough points for ten rewards thanks to the more than 7,000 points in the nine-level underground palace, he still didn't have enough matches to advance.

"We've contacted him..." Ye Peng scratched his head. "We completed the trial mission last month, and we'll be able to enter the world this month."

Just then, a tall man wearing black power armor walked over.

The group looked at him warily. The armored man opened his mask, revealing Zhang Lang's expressionless face.

"A hunter?!" The group was excited upon seeing him. Le Xinyi tapped his armor: "So that's how it is! There's this method too. You can move freely now!"

Zhang Lang put on his mask and nodded: "It's alright for now."

As everyone was chatting, a few more people came over to greet them. It was Qin Jie, Michiko, and Dai Kui. Like Le Xinyi and Ye Peng, they had also participated in the trial mission after the Ninth Level Underground Palace. However, there were too many people advancing in that batch, and they squeezed into Altar Number Thirty-One, while Le Xinyi and Ye Peng only got to number thirty-two.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them inquired about Zhang Lang's situation.

"I thought we'd see the Hunter this time," Da Kui said with some regret. "What's going on with that guy? I suspect he met the advancement requirements ten worlds ago, so why is he holding back from advancing?"

"He...has arrived..." Le Xinyi pointed to the black armor next to her.

The three were taken aback. Zhang Lang sighed and lifted his mask again, this time not bothering to put it back down. Since they communicated via brainwaves, it didn't really matter whether he put the mask on or not.

The mask had barely been lifted when another person approached.

"The Hunter Brothers?"

Zhang Lang turned around and saw a short, fat man with glasses standing behind him. Who else could it be but Wang Defa?

"It really is you!" Wang Defa smiled, his eyes narrowing. "I came looking for you as soon as I arrived. Your build looked similar, but I wasn't sure I'd recognize you until you lifted your mask, then I dared to come closer."

Zhang Lang nodded: "You've finally advanced."

"Yes, this is altar number thirty-five. Hopefully, we can get one of them."

"You are... Wang Defa?" Qin Jie and Fang Tianhua, standing to the side, both stared wide-eyed. "Is it really you?"

"You know him?" Zhang Lang was somewhat surprised. It seemed that this fat man was quite famous at the altar.

"Although we've never met, I've heard a lot about this ruthless businessman!" Qin Jie stepped forward and shook Wang Defa's hand.

Wang Defa smiled and said, "It is indeed me, it is indeed me... But from now on, we are all heroes. If you need any help, just contact me... Friends of the Hunter Brothers are my friends. I'll give you a discount, a discount!"

As he spoke, this guy actually handed out his business cards.

When accepting the business card, Fang Tianhua leaned forward slightly: "Everyone says you're the altar's know-it-all. I wonder if Brother Wang has any inside information about this selection competition..."

Wang Defa waved his hand: "The selection competition is held every few months, and it's always pretty much the same. We'll only know the specific events on-site, so there's no way we can get any information. But..."

"But what?" Everyone immediately perked up their ears.

"However, I heard that some seats have already been reserved..."

As he spoke, Wang Defa's gaze swept over the more than two hundred novice heroes present. "That one over there, Ning Chengyu, is the only son of Ning Yi of the Third Altar. This kid has earned a lot of rewards thanks to his father's protection. His longsword is unique, making him one of the best this year. He's definitely a shoo-in for the Third Altar!"

The group nodded in agreement.

Then, Wang Defa pointed to a white man with long blond hair: "That's the Chosen One, Soros. It's said that he drew a unique enhancement that affects the altar's drop rate at the beginning, and the quality of his subsequent enhancements has remained high. Although the quantity is not as good as Ning Chengyu's, the average quality is far superior... I guess he should be stronger in terms of strength. It is said that the First Altar has already contacted him."

Then, Wang Defa pointed to a silver-haired woman: "Sniper Arcee, the gun in her hand is also unique. It seems that there aren't many upgraded versions, but these days, uniqueness is hard currency. I estimate that it is also the object of competition among the top altars."

"Three unique newcomers in one cohort?" Qin Jie was somewhat surprised. "As far as I know, the Shen Clan currently has fewer than a hundred unique talents. This cohort's level is quite high..."

Wang Defa chuckled: "The unique illustration is also a human-made summary, so it's definitely not comprehensive. After all, the altar has been developing for so many years, and many new enhancements appear every year. Plus, the original owners fall and roll back into the prize pool... Compared to heroes, the number of offerings is larger, so the probability of drawing a unique item is also higher."

As he spoke, Wang Defa continued, "Besides these three, there are two others worth noting."

"First, there's that one." Wang Defa gestured towards a burly, dark-skinned man: "The strong Zep, that guy may not be unique, but he gets a lot of rewards, and his foundation is different from others..."

"Basics?" The group was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"He comes from the City of Evolution," Wang Defa laughed. "You know what enhanced humans are, right? Their natural attributes are higher than ordinary people, and they've also undergone some modifications. This is also an effort made by the Shen Clan to fight against the superior races."

"There's such a thing?" Yue Xinyi exclaimed in surprise. "Does that mean creating a bunch of Supermen and then just grinding for points in the tutorial?"

"It's not that exaggerated..." Wang Defa waved his hand: "Without the power of the altar, a living organism still has its limits, but once it has been strengthened using the power of the altar, it will no longer be recognized as a newcomer by the altar. So these strengthened people are at most two or three times stronger than ordinary people... But this is enough to give them a huge advantage in the early stages."

"What about the last one?" Ye Peng asked with concern.

Wang Defa gestured in another direction, revealing a tall, beautiful woman with long, pointed ears.

"An elf?" Ye Peng was taken aback. "What kind of enhancement is this? Bloodline?"

"The High Elf Eshilia, a reincarnator recruited by the altar from the mission world, has naturally higher attributes than ordinary people and is also endowed with magic, making her a powerful race. After being enhanced by the altar, her strength should not be underestimated... She should have been targeted by Altar No. 8 long ago."

"Altar Number Eight?" Qin Jie frowned. "I've heard that the people inside that altar are all reincarnators recruited from mission worlds?"

"Basically..." Wang Defa said, "The altar master is called Yun Ao. He is said to come from a martial arts world and is extremely powerful."

"Yun Ao?" Zhang Lang was taken aback. He felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

"But in my opinion, these so-called seeded players are nothing special!" Wang Defa changed his tone, looking at Zhang Lang: "Even if they were all together, they wouldn't be a match for the Hunter Brothers!"

The others nodded in agreement.
