Chapter 178
Lin Huang had finally located the first coordinate of the red dots on the map in the forest west of the assessment location .
Although the red dot was moving quickly, it was impossible for it to move faster than the Alexandrian Eagle .
The Alexandrian Eagle quickly flew towards the man . Lin Huang then recalled his eagle and blocked the man's way .
"Haha, a little brat that comes to me all by himself…" The man looked at Lin Huang and teased .
Lin Huang sized up the man . He was not tall and was rather skinny with pale skin and he looked around 20 years old .
"Are you one of the heretics?"
The young man squinted his eyes as he heard this . "Who are you?"
"I think so . " Despite avoiding the question, Lin Huang could still confirm his identity . He extended his hand and summoned Tyrant before commanding, "Kill him!"
The young man immediately became alert when he saw Tyrant . Two of the gold weapon rings were instantly transformed into two short blades .
Right after Tyrant had received his orders, he thrust forward and struck a blow at the young man .
The next moment, Tyrant's quickly sped up his blow and a loud sound was heard from the sky .
The young man failed to avoid the attack . He lifted his hand and placed both of the short blades in front of his chest .
"Bang!"
There was a loud explosion and the young man was blown away . Both of the short blades he was holding onto flew away .
The young man died after crashing into several huge trees .
"Congratulations, you've obtained a Rare Skill Card - Hundred Flowing Blades' . "
Once the notification window popped up, Lin Huang could confirm that the man had died without even going near him .
He did not check the information of the new Skill Card that he had just obtained . Lin Huang instructed Tyrant to collect the corpse and he took both gold-level short blades that had flown away just now . The blades were still functioning well .
After keeping the corpse and the short blades in storage, Lin Huang took out his Emperor's Heart Ring and after staring at the ring for a moment, Lin Huang then threw it at Tyrant's feet and commanded, "Crush it . " Tyrant then stepped on the ring and it was instantly broken into pieces .
Lin Huang recalled Tyrant and summoned the Alexandrian Eagle once again and headed towards the second red dot closest to their location on the map .
…
Division7, Hunter Association Headquarters .
Mu Lan's information had spread quickly to Xu Tianyu who was the executive officer of the assessment . He then gathered the other executive officers .
In the meeting room, 11 holograms of the executives appeared .
"Old Xu, why are you calling for an urgent meeting? Are you going to talk about the locations for the intensive training again?" One of the executives teased .
"No, it has nothing to do with the locations for the intensive training . One of the head examiners informed me that her examination site was being attacked by the heretics . She said that through a trial, they've discovered that the heretics have sneaked into 63 examination sites in Division7 . They're looking for candidates that have passed our assessment . They will then brainwash them and train them as new members of the Heretic Organization . Among the 63 examination sites, each of them now has a holy fire-level heretic as the leader of the team and 10 Gold-level hunters . " Xu Tianyu then reported the information he had to the others .
"I guess it is just a rumor . The heretics have been keeping a low profile all these years . Why would they suddenly do this? Moreover, there are more than 180 examination sites in Division7 . If they sneaked into 63 of them, that would mean that we've heretics sneaking into a third of our assessment sites . Do you really think this could happen?!" The executive that teased Xu Tianyu earlier immediately shook his head and refuted in disapproval .
"Tianyu, are you sure she mentioned the heretics?" The old man frowned and asked .
"Yes . " Xu Tianyu nodded his head, "Li Lao, why do you ask?"
"A few days ago, Mr . Fu called me . We discussed the assessment . He then reminded me to be aware of the heretics or any other forces . I thought it was just a gentle reminder and did not bother so much . " The old man then told him what happened a few days ago .
"Li Lao, is it Mr . Fu from the Union Government?" Xu Tianyu immediately asked while the rest of them shifted their gazes towards Li Lao .
"Other than him, are there any other Mr . Fu's in Division7?" Li Lao glanced at Xu Tianyu .
"If Mr . Fu was the one who reminded you, could it be true? Who told you about this?" A middle-aged woman immediately asked .
"A female head examiner told me about this . I'm not sure who she was . I'll ask them regarding this matter . "
"Let's listen to the recording of the call when she informed you about this . " Li Lao suggested .
Xu Tianyu nodded his head and played the recording .
After listening to the recording, a woman said, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be Mu Lan's voice . I've met her twice . She's quite good and wouldn't report to you without evidence . "
"Is Mu Lan the girl who's ranked fourth on the Gold Hunter Leaderboard?" Many of the executive officers had heard her name before .
"Yes, it must be her . Old Xu, please confirm again . " The woman told Xu Tianyu .
After a moment, Xu Tianyu nodded his head, "It's confirmed that the information was provided by Mu Lan . "
"It seems that there's indeed something wrong with the assessment . " Li Lao and the other executive officers had a serious expression on their faces .
"We can't set up an interdimensional blockade now . Otherwise, the heretics would notice it . They'll escape the interdimensional blockade and leave through the dimensional portal before the holy fire rescuers arrive . "
"We can't make an official announcement to inform the candidates either as there are heretics among them . We can only inform the head examiners so that they can figure out ways to delay them . It would be best to rescue them without notifying the holy fire heretics . "
"We can't stop the assessment . We have to carry on with it . Otherwise, the heretics might notice our actions…"
"Now, we're going to ask our holy fire-level transcendent hunters to go to the nearest assessment site to them . Upon their arrival, only then will we ask them to stop the assessment and set up an interdimensional blockade!"
12 of the executive officers quickly came up with a solution and informed the other assessment sites about it…
…
In less than half an hour, Lin Huang killed three heretics continuously .
Just as Lin Huang was getting closer to the fourth red dot, Lin Huang could sense that the opponent was a girl . He activated Boundless Vision and looked through the gaps between the branches and leaves . Lin Huang was stunned when he saw her from the side .
"She's with the heretics!" Lin Huang saw Xia Yu .
While Lin Huang was startled from his discovery, she seemed to have sensed Lin Huang looking at her and she looked in his direction . She grinned and suddenly disappeared .
"Are you looking for me?" A voice was heard behind Lin Huang .
Lin Huang was taken aback as Xia Yu appeared without him noticing . She was less than 10 meters away from him . However, Lin Huang's sensing circle did not respond to her . This indicated that Xia Yu's had the combat ability of a holy fire transcendent . She must be the transcendent leader of the heretics' operation .
"Oh, I just passed by and I sensed that there was a person moving over there . I didn't know that it was you . " Lin Huang's heart sank but he did not show it on his face . "I'm going to continue with my monster hunt . You can continue playing . "
"Lin Huang, do you really like the Hunter Association so much? Privileges are only given to the geniuses involved in intensive training while other organizations treat everyone equally . Training resources should only be able to be obtained by hunting down monsters or completing a task with their own two hands . "
"Although you are talented, don't ever think about getting a place in intensive training from the Hunter Association . Each year, there are limited slots for intensive training in Division7 . Spots are usually given to the geniuses that are capable of killing enemies that are one level above them . " Apparently, Xia Yu did not know that Lin Huang himself had killed a silver-level rank-3 monster during the third assessment . Otherwise, she would not have mentioned this .
"I've told you that I'm not interested in joining you regardless of what organization you're from . You don't need to waste your time on me . I believe there are many other talented people out there . You can look other people . " Lin Huang then turned his back to her when he was about to leave .
"We have found many of them and most of them had agreed to join us . " Xia Yu laughed as he heard what Lin Huang said .
"Oh, congratulations . " Lin Huang then summoned the Alexandrian Eagle .
"You have asked me before which organization I'm from right? Don't you want to know now?" Xia Yu asked with a smile .
"It is best to avoid trouble whenever possible . I'm not interested any longer . " Lin Huang shook his head and rode off on the Alexandrian Eagle .
"What if I insisted on you joining our organization?" Xia Yu tilted her head and asked .
"Bye . " Lin Huang patted the Alexandrian Eagle . Fluttering its wings, it flew up to the sky in an instant .
Lin Huang was relieved after he acted stupidly just now . Just as he thought that he had managed to escape, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder .
Lin Huang was frightened . When he turned back, he saw Xia Yu stabilizing herself, standing on the Alexandrian Eagle' back .
"Eh, do you really hate me so much?" Xia Yu crossed her arms in front of her chest .
"When did you come on?!" Lin Huang was startled .
"I followed after you when you took off . " Xia Yu said proudly .
"What do you want from me?" Lin Huang was helpless .
"As long as you promise to join us, I'll not bother you anymore . " Xia Yu was not giving up .
"What do you like about me? Can I change it to something else?"
"You've got beautiful eyes . If you can give it to me, I'd consider giving up . " Xia Yu was simply being unreasonable and Lin Huang was speechless .
At that moment, the communication page of Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring suddenly popped up and rang . It was an unknown number .
"Eh, your Emperor's Heart Ring rang . Aren't you going to answer the call?" Xia Yu asked .
"No . It must be those direct sale calls . " Lin Huang shook his head because it was likely Mu Lan's number . Xia Yu was right behind him . If he answered the call, she would have found out .
He directly ended the call . Lin Huang was trying to figure out a way to settle this matter . However, after a short while, the communication page popped up again .
"It's the same number . You should just answer the call . " Xia Yu suggested .
"No . " Just as Lin Huang was about to end the call, Xia Yu moved a tad bit faster than him and answered the video call .
Mu Lan's face was instantly projected before them . She then said, "Lin Huang, why are your coordinates on the same location as the red dot? Both of you are heading towards the same direction at a fast speed…"
