Chapter 304: Chapter 302: Assessment Ends

Out of respect for the five Demon Hunters who died in the Underground Palace, Xun Qing cleared his throat and said, "There are more survivors than I expected. Now, display your trophies, and the Association will reward you with an equivalent number of Demon Hunting Coins."

After he had spoken, the Demon Hunters came forward one by one to show their spoils of war, piles of tumors that somewhat made people’s skin crawl, yet these could be exchanged for the coveted Demon Hunting Coins.

When it was Qiao Feiya’s turn, everyone’s eyes lit up.

They all knew about Qiao Feiya’s abilities; for them, entering the Underground Palace involved fighting and hunting, but for Qiao Feiya, it was more like picking vegetables in a garden.

Qiao Feiya pulled out a pink plastic capsule about one centimeter in diameter and three centimeters long. When she twisted it open, a large amount of white vapor emerged.

Once the vapor had dissipated, a small mountain of tumors over one meter high appeared on the ground, causing everyone to inhale sharply. How many monsters must one kill to obtain so many tumors?

Qiao Feiya’s head tilted back with delight. She loved moments like this because they reassured her that she was the best, and maybe now someone would want to be her friend.

But it was precisely because of her slightly tilted head that many Demon Hunters who had planned to approach her for a chat stopped in their tracks, feeling she was too arrogant.

Then the young cream-faced man and the old lady also brought forward two small piles of tumors, considerably more than the other Demon Hunters, together roughly a third of what Qiao Feiya had.

Seeing their quantity, Wen Wen realized what was going on. These two must have been cutting tumors on behalf of themselves and Miao Miaomiao to serve Qiao Feiya.

While everyone was shocked by the harvest of Qiao Feiya and her two companions, Wen Wen gracefully walked forward.

Being the last superpower user to display his trophies naturally attracted everyone’s attention, but he only carried a briefcase, which seemed unlikely to contain much.

"The other two probably relied on Qiao Feiya to obtain so many tumors, but Wen Wen stayed till the end on his own strength; even if it’s less, it’s understandable," someone commented.

Xun Qing looked at Wen Wen with an admiring expression. The young man who got a recommendation from Bing He indeed had some skills.

Wen Wen put the briefcase down on the floor and, with a bit of embarrassment, opened it in front of everyone, retrieving four small bags from inside.

Xun Qing didn’t want Wen Wen to feel disheartened, so he offered comfort, "Don’t lose heart, this is already..."

He hadn’t finished his sentence when he started coughing violently; he was shocked by Wen Wen.

After the four small bags were taken out, they miraculously transformed into four tightly stuffed large sacks. When Wen Wen emptied the sacks, the pile of tumors was significantly taller than Qiao Feiya’s!

"Cough, cough, how did you get so many tumors!" Xun Qing and a blue-haired superpower user stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Wen Wen.

Wen Wen shuffled a bit and said, "Just killing, killing, and that’s how much there was."

The other Demon Hunters watching were also speechless, unable to imagine that all these tumors were collected by Wen Wen, who seemed relatively weaker.

Qiao Feiya was staring wide-eyed at Wen Wen. She thought Wen Wen was bragging when he said he had a way to massively kill those monsters, but he had actually done it.

But how had he done it?

Qiao Feiya thought and thought, and finally got her answer. It was those bizarre Proliferation Bodies that appeared in the last few hours, sweeping through the entire Underground Palace!

Very likely, those creatures had been released by Wen Wen!

Once she had figured this out, the other superpower users also came to understand. Their expression changed slightly as they looked at Wen Wen. There was less shock, but their gaze grew somewhat unfriendly,

because those Proliferation Bodies, although they posed no threat to them, were utterly disgusting.

However, Wen Wen didn’t care whether their looks were good or bad, he just wanted to get the benefits he deserved.

He snickered mischievously, thinking that since they were so shocked, these tumorous growths must be worth quite a bit.

After his laughter, Wen Wen walked up to Xun Qing and handed him a small bottle.

Xun Qing was a bit taken aback and asked, "What is this?"

Wen Wen revealed a caring smile, "You have worked so hard during this examination that you’ve fallen ill. This is a secret remedy from my hometown, ’Golden throat syrup,’ soothing the throat and resolving phlegm, stopping coughs, and dissolving blood stasis. It’s very useful."

Before leaving the Underground Palace, Wen Wen had poured this from the Cat-Ear Cup, knowing only that it was cough medicine; as for which brand, he had no idea.

"Cough... eh, thank you."

Xun Qing forcibly suppressed his cough, a bit embarrassed as he accepted the cough syrup; in fact, he wasn’t sick at all, the coughing was just a habit.

He felt it effectively boosted his impressive image, much like his preference for walking on a flying sword and wearing dyed hair and long robes...

However, Wen Wen’s glory only lasted a short while before revealing his true form.

When other superpower users were assessing the tumorous growths, most of them started by pricing the larger ones separately, while a few smaller ones that weren’t of Disaster Level were weighed together.

As for Qiao Feiya, every single tumorous growth was assessed separately; she disdained to harvest any that were of Calamity Level.

But when it came to Wen Wen, the assistants picked out a few tumorous growths of Disaster Level or higher from his large stack, only these needed individual pricing, the rest were all weighed together...

This made everyone look at Wen Wen a bit more peaceably, they could understand if they were all low-level growths.

Even so, Wen Wen had the second biggest haul after Qiao Feiya.

After all growths were assessed, they were valued at fifteen hundred thousand Demon Hunting Coins, almost catching up to the reward he had received earlier for reporting the Profane Blood.

Wen Wen already had four hundred thousand Demon Hunting Coins at his disposal, richer than many Rangers.

After the rewards were calculated, Xun Qing gathered the other Demon Hunters who were resting at the base, then stood in front of them on his flying sword, stopped himself just as he was about to cough, and slightly awkwardly announced loudly to everyone,

"Congratulations to all present Demon Hunters, you have passed the Ranger examination. In a moment, we will all return to the Association together, rest for a day, go through some necessary procedures, and then you will be new Demon Hunters."

"Thus, this Demon Hunter examination has successfully concluded. Out of two hundred twenty-five participants, a total of fifty-six have passed."

"The top three from each examination will receive individual awards from the Association."

"The top three from the first examination are Long Suo, Liu Meinai, Qi Fulan.

The top three from the second examination are Yin Hu, Sifumo, Miao Miaomiao.

The top three from the third examination are Qiao Feiya. Qiao Ai’er, Wen Wen, Long Suo.

In addition, those who performed exceptionally well in this series of examinations will also receive awards..."
