Monster Paradise - Chapter 171

Chapter 171

Passing through the corridor, Lin Huang arrived at the second monster cage . It was a One-Armed Ape in the cage . The One-Armed Ape was a giant . It was not called the One-Armed Ape because it only had one arm, but because one of its arms were regular sized while the other was as big as its entire body . The gigantic arm had terrifying power and monsters on the same level would die with just a single hit . However, there was a downside to the gigantic arm - it moved at a slow speed . It was the price it had to pay to obtain such power .

Most people would be scared if they saw this monster because a simple rub with its arm would spell certain death . However, Lin Huang smirked as he held the CopperSparrow23 in both of his hands and walked into the corridor . He then started to shoot at the One-Armed Ape . The ape roared in pain as it rushed towards Lin Huang with its giant arm covering its face .

Lin Huang then activated Cloud Steps without much effort and avoided the ape’s attack . He turned around and shot at the ape’s face while it used its giant arm to defend itself . Lin Huang smirked again and said, "Goodbye, big guy!" Lin Huang then leaped to the entrance of the third corridor with the Spectral Snowsteps movement skill . He then disappeared into the third corridor .

The One-Armed Ape groaned in anger . The weakest part of the monster was its head . As soon as it was attacked on its head, its first reaction would be to defend itself with its giant arm . However, that would mean that it would block its own vision . Lin Huang used the opportunity to run away and the entire fight took less than 10 seconds .

Soon, Lin Huang arrived at the final monster cage after passing through the third corridor . It was a Silverscale Pangolin . This monster’s attack power and speed were mediocre but it was born with terrifying defensive abilities . When a silver-level rank-3 Silverscale Pangolin goes into its defensive form, it would transform into a silver ball . Even gold-level rank-1 or rank-2 monsters could do nothing to it .

The CopperSparrow23 in Lin Huang’s hands fired again, he was attempting to lure the monster away from the exit . However, he did not expect the Silverscale Pangolin to not attack him but roll into a ball instead . It even rolled itself over to the exit on purpose and blocked the exit entirely .

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Huang was speechless .

He frowned and walked closer to the Silverscale Pangolin before he opened fire . It remained in its defensive mode and seemed like it intended to stay that way until Lin Huang gave up . Standing next to the Silverscale Pangolin, Lin Huang gave it a kick but it did not respond at all .

"Alright then, you're the one who forced me to do this . " Lin Huang then stored the two modified guns and took out his bronze-level battle sword . He activated Boundless Vision and walked around the Silverscale Pangolin . He stopped and grinned .

The bronze-level battle sword stabbed into a gap between its scales . The Silverscale Pangolin let out a cry and rolled to the side . As planned, Lin Huang entered the exit of the third corridor . The Silverscale Pangolin gave Lin Huang a deadly stare so he put his arms up and tossed the sword away .

"You're the one who forced me to do this . If you didn't get in my way, I wouldn’t have had to stab your assh*le . I don’t want this sword anymore, keep it as a souvenir . "

Lin Huang then walked towards the exit . Recalling the expression on the Silverscale Pangolin's face, Lin Huang laughed . The defensive ability of a Silverscale Pangolin was stunning but it had a critical weakness . When it was rolled into its defensive form, there would be a tiny gap between its tail and body . It was hard to see with the naked eye but with the help of Boundless Vision, the gaps between the scales were magnified . With the right angle, it was not difficult to force a sharp blade into the gap . It was the Silverscale Pangolin’s assh*le, a soft and delicate part of its body . The hole Lin Huang stabbed into earlier was its assh*le…

Going through the last corridor, Lin Huang was close to the end . Just as he was walking out of the exit, he heard a distinctive voice coming out of the loudspeaker .

"Congratulations participant No . 23, Lin Huang who passed through monster shed No . 66 and passed the third assessment!"

Within two minutes after the announcement of the first monster was killed, Lin Huang managed to finish the entire journey .

"That’s quick!" Many of the participants exclaimed . Even the head examiner Jiang Sen could not help but to look at Lin Huang’s performance in the second and third monster cages . He could feel the Silverscale Pangolin’s pain when he saw Lin Huang’s stab its assh*le .

"This is isn't just a powerful Imperial Censor . He actually has a good understanding of all monsters’ habits and weaknesses! His mentality and ability are considered to be close to that of a genius . I must recommend him to the management . " Jiang Sen nodded in satisfaction . After downloading the complete video clip of Lin Huang’s performance, Jiang Sen wrote a short report and sent it to the Hunter Association of the Division7’s headquarter together with the video clips .

In reality, not many people knew that aside from the recruitment of Copper Hunters through the annual assessment of the Hunter Association, there was a secret evaluation . All head examiners could recommend participants that they deemed fit individually to the headquarter . Each head examiner would a quota of three recommendations in each assessment . If any of the recommended participants were selected, the particular head examiner would be given a luxurious reward .

Aside from managing the assessment, the responsibility of a head examiner was also to source for talents for the Hunter Association . However, not many participants could pass the evaluation . There were around 180 assessment points in the entire Division7 with five head examiners each . With two assessment annually and three recommendation from each head examiner, the Hunter Association would receive more than 5,000 recommendations in Division7 alone . However, there would be less than 10 people who could pass and it was usually only four to five people who would pass the evaluation .

When the list arrived at the headquarter, the respective managers would go through the list for a preliminary review . After that, the documents would be given to the other managers for a review . After the review was over, the managers would conduct a meeting with each other for a final review . Once the final review was over, an application for intensive training would be carried out . Once a participant arrived at this stage, they were considered to be a member of the intensive training group . As long as the participant was not involved in the underworld, they would remain eligible for the intensive training group .

After Lin Huang’s name was sent, he passed the preliminary review and review . As the managers were all transcendents, they could tell that Tyrant was a double mutated monster with one glance . Theoretically, an Imperial Censor who owned a double mutated monster would worth the resources that went into intensive training . Soon they arrived at the final review .

The manager who was responsible for the review gathered the 12 managers of the Division7 . Besides Xu Tianyu, the rest who presented at the meeting were all holograms .

"Lao Xu, we have been busy with the assessment these past few days . Do you have a recommendation for anyone who had passed your review?" A lady whose age could not be estimated chuckled .

"I think so . That could be the only reason . " A hunk nodded in all seriousness .

Xu Tianyu sat on the president's seat and smiled at everyone, "That’s right, we have a recommendation here . I can’t decide for myself, so I thought I'd ask for your opinions . "

Xu Tianyu then played the video clip of Lin Huang during the assessment . Everyone was silent after watching the video .

"Is this it? Are there more videos?" An old man with a white beard and hair bun asked .

"There’s none at the moment, the kid only revealed his ability as an Imperial Censor this one time . " Xu Tianyu shook his head . "The summoning monster looked like a giant but it’s obviously a new type of monster that had gone through two mutations . Aside from its immense strength, it hasn't shown any other abilities that are more powerful . "

"How about the Imperial Censor himself? Are there any videos of him in the combat?" Somebody asked .

Xu Tianyu nodded and played the two video clips of Lin Huang that were taken in the following monster cages .

"His mentality isn’t bad, movement skills as well . From his sword skill, I can see that he has the standard of a beginner gunmaster . He seems to know monsters well . However, that’s one quality that all Imperial Censors should have . As a whole, he is considered a common genius, there’s nothing else to shout about . " The old man in hairpin commented .

"I wouldn’t agree to list him into the intensive training group based on this double mutated monster that has no room for improvement . "

"Although this double mutated monster is a new type of monster, what it had shown was merely its strength . It’s not difficult to tell that it’s just a strength-based monster, something similar to a giant . Even if such a monster manages to become a transcendent, its intelligence would be stunted . Among all the transcendent monsters, this belongs to the weakest kind . If it’s similar a double mutated monster who possessed the ability to control people like what we read in the earlier report, I'd definitely agree to put him into intensive training . However, from what we can see from this monster alone, it wouldn’t be worth training him in the long run . It’s no different from a special monster that went through one mutation . I don’t agree about putting him into intensive training . "

"With this monster alone, I don’t see a future in him . I disagree . " The lady who spoke earlier shook her head .

"I disagree!"

"I disagree!"

"I disagree!"

…

Lin Huang was rejected by everyone in the final review . Xu Tianyu nodded, "I understand, I shall turn him down then . "
