Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 9 The Assessment Ends

Have you entered the microscopic level?

Hearing the mechanical echo that suddenly rang in his mind, Luo Shen was overjoyed. Feeling the various techniques being continuously poured into his mind, he no longer had time to think about why he had suddenly reached the perfect level when he was still a little short of entering the microscopic level of movement technique.

Moreover, besides the three Shadow Cat monsters he had just killed, there were still nine Shadow Cat monsters lurking around him.

The approaching Tiger Mastiff should not be underestimated either.

He needs to deal with these monsters first before he can calm down and study them slowly.

Claw prints appeared around Luo Shen.

However, the Shadow Cat, who had just been able to fight Luo Shen to a standstill, suddenly felt that the human in front of him had become as slippery as an eel, impossible to catch, impossible to catch at all!

With an elegant turn, Luo Shen watched as the Shadow Cat Monster's claws grazed past him.

Even a mere 1 centimeter closer would have been fatal to him, but that 1 centimeter was like an insurmountable chasm for the Shadow Cat Monster, impossible for him to reach.

"Swoosh!" A cold light ripped through the darkness with a casual, light step.

Two more Shadow Cat Monsters had their throats slit, and the muscles in the right claw of one Shadow Cat Monster were torn apart.

Watching the Shadow Cat Monster roar and limp backward, Luo Shen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly, "My swordsmanship is still lacking. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been its right claw that was torn apart, but its throat."

When he drew his sword, he deliberately adjusted the angle, aiming it at the throat of the three-headed shadow cat monster.

However, a slight tremor caused the angle to deviate when the blade was struck, resulting in only killing two and injuring one.

If it's a highly skilled swordsmanship technique, this situation would never occur.

The fall of two more companions seemed to ignite the ferocity of the Shadow Cat monsters, making them even more agitated. They darted back and forth around Luo Shen, and then seized the opportunity to pounce, intending to trade blows!

"If it were just now, what you did might have had some effect."

"But now—it's too late!"

Luo Shen lightly tapped his feet on the ground, easily dodging the claws of several more shadow cats. He then swung his sword from an unexpected angle, reducing their numbers once again.

Just as Luo Shen was displaying his divine power, killing 12 shadow cat monsters and 1 uninvited tiger mastiff dog one by one.

Zhuge Tao, who had been watching him intently, suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Mastery level!"

To be honest, Luo Shen's performance was already surprising enough. Although his physical advantages played a part, it was Luo Shen's first time facing a real monster, so his performance was quite remarkable.

However, Luo Shen's current agility has completely exceeded Zhuge Tao's imagination of ordinary geniuses.

The Subtle Movement Technique may seem like just the next level after the basic movement techniques, but for most people, this step is like an insurmountable chasm, and even most powerful warriors haven't reached this level.

How old was Luo Shen, and how many battles had he fought?

With physical attributes at least at the advanced warrior level, coupled with microscopic movement techniques and the ability to generate power, this is no longer a genius within the general definition.

At one point, Zhuge Tao even wondered if he had some special attraction to geniuses.

Whoever you have faith in will succeed.

Moreover, Luo Shen did not come from any prominent family. Like Luo Feng before him, he lived in a low-rent apartment, and was even worse off than Luo Feng because he was an orphan.

Without any assistance, he relied solely on the rudimentary facilities of the martial arts school to practice the school's basic boxing techniques.

Even though Luo Shen's talent was astonishing.

But to get to this point, one can only imagine how much hard work and sweat Luo Shen has silently put in behind the scenes!

Given the difficult conditions, Luo Shen's performance was remarkable. Zhuge Tao was suddenly looking forward to seeing what kind of outstanding performance Luo Shen could deliver if given more resources.

"Perfect timing, the application for the top-tier training contract for the global headquarters just came through this year."

Zhuge Tao stroked his mustache and said with a smile, "I might as well go with the flow and do him a favor. If he succeeds in the future, my efforts will not have been in vain."

The night passed quickly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Along with a series of ear-piercing noises echoing throughout the town, a deep voice boomed through the loudspeaker: "Time's up! All prospective martial artists, assemble at the town exit immediately!"

"Is it time?" Luo Shen was slightly lost in thought.

Upon seeing this, the seven shadow cat monsters surrounding him launched an attack, unleashing their sharp teeth and claws.

"Hmm? I was going to let you off the hook, but you didn't appreciate it."

Instead of retreating, he advanced, his Ghost Shadow Blade flashing rapidly, drawing a perfect arc in the air. "Sizzle!" Instantly, the monsters let out painful roars, and seven streams of blood spurted out in succession, killing all seven monsters at the same time!

"This night of practice was worthwhile; my knife skills are much more precise than when I first arrived."

This can be seen from their skill level in knife work.

Basic knife skills (803/1000)!

Luo Shen happily cut off the left ear of the seven monsters, put it in his backpack, and quickly headed towards the gate of Monster Town.

The entrance to Monster Town.

One by one, the blood-stained aspiring warriors walked out of the town. Guided by the soldiers, they poured the monster Left Ear, which they had hunted the night before, into a metal pot that had been prepared in advance.

"Look, it's Luo Shen, who was recruited by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in advance. There's not a trace of blood on him."

"His backpack is bulging; he must have killed countless monsters!"

"That's impossible. Did he put half a Shadow Cat's corpse in his backpack? It's already difficult to kill five monsters in one night."

As the only one among the approved martial artists to be recruited in advance, Luo Shen attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, and various comments arose one after another.

Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.

Furthermore, Luo Shen was the only one recruited in advance, which naturally attracted a lot of jealousy. If he performed only so-so, rumors would probably spread immediately.

With Luo Shen's keen hearing, he naturally picked up all the conversations.

But he remained unfazed, walked over to the three officers sitting nearby, took off his backpack, and with a flick of his right hand, tilted the left ear of the monster inside.

The monster had so many left ears that they filled and overflowed the metal pot.

"Wow!" This action immediately caused astonishment among the surrounding onlookers.

That's incredibly arrogant!

Even the officers in charge of the assessment couldn't help but take another look at Luo Shen. This was the first time a trainee had filled the metal pot containing the monster's left ear during the assessment.

Soon, the examining officer had counted the number: "A total of 108 monster left ears!"

The way everyone looked at Luo Shen changed!

"108! Even that's a fraction of what I have!"

"How did they do that? There were 108 monsters! Even if they all stood there and I could kill them all, I still couldn't kill them all."

"Could they be trying to steal the spots from other examinees?"

"I think it's possible that the people from the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy first crippled the monster for him, and then he went over to finish it off."

Some believe it, some doubt it, and opinions vary widely.

But Luo Shen still didn't say anything to explain.

The finches know their ambitions!

Even if we were to put it another way, it wouldn't be his place to speak up. The officer in charge of the assessment only needs to produce the assessment video, and everything will be explained clearly.

"Luo Shen." Wu Tong's voice came from behind.

I turned my head to look.

Wu Tong's old face was all smiles, but under the lamplight, it was quite eerie.

After holding it in for a while, Luo Shen finally managed to blurt out, "Uncle Wu, let's not scare people so early in the morning. Let's get down to business. Your smile is like a chrysanthemum, it's giving me the creeps."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong's smile froze on his face.
