Chapter Twenty-Three: Testing

When I walked into the mercenary union, I saw a bustling hall on the first floor, with fifty or sixty people. Most of them are martial artists in the Body Forging Realm, but there are also three or four people with strong breath, who should be masters of the Chongguan Realm.

A beautiful maid immediately greeted her, and her voice was very sweet: "My lord, do you need to issue a bounty task or take a mission?"

Gu Qiu replied, "Take the task!"

"My lord, what level of mercenary are you?" the maid asked.

"Hmm, how many levels of mercenary?" Gu Qiu was at a loss.

"Hmph, I don't even know how many levels of mercenaries there are, and I really don't know whether I'm here or dead, I think I'll really become a master when I join the mercenary union. Before the maid could speak, a contemptuous female voice came from beside her.

Gu Qiu squinted his eyes and frowned slightly, turned his head, and found that it was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old looking at herself and mocking.

This woman looks like jade, beautiful and moving, but her mean expression can't help but cause disgust.

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense!" Seeing Gu Qiu's face, the middle-aged man next to the girl scolded lightly. Then he turned his head to Gu Qiu and smiled: "Is the little brother also a mercenary? I am a professional mercenary, this is my daughter, she is still not sensible, please forgive the little brother!"

Gu Qiu said lightly: "It's okay." Then he looked at the maid again and asked, "This is the first time I have come to take over the task, can you please tell me the rules here." โ€

The maid's attitude was very good, she had seen some young people who were not like words, but their strength had reached the realm of forging bodies, so she didn't dare to despise Gu Qiu.

So he replied: "Our mercenaries here all have corresponding levels, novices can only take on primary tasks, and generally need to have the strength of a martial artist in the Body Forging Realm, a first-level mercenary generally needs to have the strength of a master in the Chongguan Realm, and a second-level mercenary needs to have the strength of a Xuanshi." โ€

"If you're taking on a task for the first time, you can take on the simplest beginner task. โ€

"How much is the bounty for the primary mission?" Gu Qiu was most concerned about the reward.

"For example, here's a 'Kill Tang Shen in the north of the city. Tang Shen, a beginner martial artist in the Forging Body Realm', has a bounty of 1,200 gold coins. โ€

"It's only one thousand two, is there a bounty that is a little higher?" Gu Qiu thought that the remuneration was too low, and it was really far away to participate in the auction.

When the maid heard this, she secretly sighed that she was right, fortunately she didn't put on a face, the other party must be a martial artist, it seems that it is not only the first level of the forging body realm, is it the middle level of the forging body realm? But it looks too young, if it really is, then it has a bright future, if the other party has taken a fancy to me, then...

The maid's face turned red, she flipped through it carefully, and said to Gu Qiu: "Take three elixirs 'Biyun Fruit' from the periphery of the Tianduan Mountain Range, and the bounty will be seven thousand gold coins. There are generally the lowest-level demon beasts around 'Biyun Fruit', 'Blood Corpse Rat', which requires the strength of the late stage of the Forging Body Realm. โ€

The maid thought, the bounty for this task is very high, but it requires the strength of the late stage of the Forging Body Realm, I don't know if he can accept it?

Gu Qiu said in his heart: Seven thousand? It's still a little less, so he asked again: "That..."

The maid saw that Gu Qiu had no intention of taking it, and said in her heart, she didn't accept the beginner task and the later task, and it was really the middle-level strength of the Forging Body Realm. Thinking about it, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Gu Qiu, as if he wanted to try his best to make this young man pay attention to himself.

"Well, I'd like to ask if there's a higher bounty. "Guqiu Road.

"What, higher?" the maid was stunned, and secretly said that this was a boy with low eyes and low hands.

However, he still replied respectfully: "Novices can only take on primary tasks, and no matter how high they are, they will be first-level tasks." โ€

"I just want to take on a first-level assignment. "Guqiu Road.

"Novices can't take on Level 1 tasks, Childe. "The maid is starting to get impatient, and she just wants to send this ambitious boy as soon as possible.

The girl, who had been listening to the conversation between Gu Qiu and the maid, also glanced at this unknown teenager with disgust, and his father also shook his head and said in his heart: "The young man now, he is a little impetuous. โ€

"No, didn't you just say that as long as you have the strength to rush through the customs realm, you can take on the first-level task?" Gu Qiu said.

Astound!

Rushing to the border?

Could it be that the young man in front of him already has the strength to rush through the realm?

The maid secretly said that this was impossible, but it couldn't break the process, so she still said patiently: "Childe, do you already have the strength to rush through the realm? If so, you can take on the first-level task, but you need our tester here to pass the test before it can be evaluated." If you pass, you will be awarded the badge of a first-class mercenary directly, so that you can take on the first-level mission."

"Okay, how to test?" Gu Qiu said lightly.

I'm going to tell our tester to come out, he'll explain the rules to you, please wait.

After a while, the maid and a middle-aged man walked out, this person was tall and burly, with dark skin, and it looked like the tester that the maid was talking about.

As soon as he walked out, the woman who was mocking Gu Qiu just now rushed over and shouted excitedly at the man, "Uncle Mu Yan!"

"Yu'er, why are you here?"

"Uncle Mu Yan, my father is going to the Tianduan Mountain Range to hunt the black bone scorpion this time, and said that he can take me to play. When the girl talked about the black bone scorpion, she deliberately raised her voice, and then glanced at Gu Qiu ostentatiously.

The man, known as Mu Qi, looked at the girl's father and said, "Brother Yanmu, how can you take Yu'er to that place, it's too dangerous. โ€

The girl's father smiled mysteriously and said, "Since our mercenary group was disbanded, you came to the mercenary union to be an errand boy, and I have been taking on tasks alone, but recently I joined the Black Flame mercenary group, you know their strength, and Yu'er has been clamoring to see it, so I took him this time." โ€

"The Black Flame Regiment does have strength, I heard that the head of the regiment, Tang Yan, is already a middle-level Xuanshi. "Then you can go and play.

The girl slowly walked to Mu Yan, pointed at Gu Qiu, and said softly: "Uncle Mu Yan, this person glared at me just now. โ€

Mu Yan's face changed and said, "Does this kid dare to stare at you?" Okay, I know." โ€

He walked up to Gu Qiu: "Are you going to assess the first-level mercenary?"

Gu Qiu said: "Yes. โ€

"Okay, you come with me. With that, the man led Gu Qiu to an open space at the far end of the hall. There is a white circle about ten paces wide on the ground.

"Let me tell you the rules, it's very simple, my strength is in the late stage of the Chongguan realm, if you want to assess the first-level mercenary, then you must take my palm, and you can't get out of the white line, but don't worry, I will only use thirty percent of my strength. โ€

The maid saw that Mu Yan's expression was not good, and said in her heart: "This young man is going to suffer a little now, hey, but whoever lets him be blind should also be taught a lesson, otherwise everyone will come to our mercenary union to make trouble." โ€

Gu Qiu stood proudly in the circle, nodded slightly, and said, "Come on." โ€

Mu Yan's heart suddenly became nameless, he already had a bad impression of Gu Qiu just now, and now he saw Gu Qiu's appearance of being light and light, and he didn't take himself in his eyes at all, and he was even more angry. At that moment, the whole body was charged to the palm of his hand and hit Gu Qiu. This palm is fierce, where there is only thirty percent of the strength, I'm afraid there are at least sixty percent!

At this time, there were already a lot of people around, rushing to the customs realm test, not at any time to see. There are not many martial artists in the Body Forging Realm, and of course there are even fewer martial artists in the Chongguan Realm, and there are even fewer Chongguan Realm masters who have not taken over the mercenary task.

Looking at the way Mu Yan made his move, this young man is probably going to break his muscles and bones today!

Most of the people still sighed slightly, but they also gloated and watched the excitement.

The girl saw Mu Yan make a move, but she was very happy in her heart, and said arrogantly, "Hmph, let you pretend to be a big head and dare to stare at me, the most annoying thing is this kind of person who has no ability and pretends to be very powerful." โ€

Although he didn't say it loudly, the people around him could still hear it clearly.

Mu Qi's palm was about to hit Gu Qiu's chest, but Gu Qiu still didn't move, if this palm hit solidly, I am afraid that the ribs will be broken several times.

The maid said regretfully, "Could it be that this young man is stupid and doesn't dare to move?"

When the girl's father saw this, he wanted to stop it but found that it was too late, and the onlookers were speculating how far the blow would knock the boy away.

"Bang!"

A figure flew upside down, slammed into the wall, a mouthful of blood spurting out, and then fell to its knees, its body curled up in pain.

Sure enough, hey, looking at the way you fly out, you won't be able to get up in two months.

Huh? No, why is the person flying out in the wrong direction?

Everyone looked at it, and the young man was still standing proudly in the circle, and when they looked over, it was the wooden coffin curled up in pain on the wall!

Dead silence! Dead silence!

No one saw how Mu Qi flew out, and no one even saw how Gu Qiu made a move, and the boy was like he hadn't moved at all!

The young man slowly walked over to the wooden barrier and asked, "Have I passed?"

Mu Yan coughed violently a few times, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and said with a wry smile: "It turned out to be a young genius, the real person does not show his face, and the contemptible person is willing to bow down, of course there is no problem with this level of mercenary." โ€

Just now, everyone was just guessing, but now when they heard Mu Yan personally admit that he was instantly knocked away by Gu Qiu, they were all shocked in their hearts!

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, one move, no, half a move to defeat the master of the late stage of the Chongguan Realm, this is beyond everyone's imagination!

Monster, this is really a monster, the onlookers' eyes on the young man at this time changed from sympathy and mockery at the beginning, to awe, even, fear!

The maid's eyes widened, the deer on her chest kept bumping, and she said in her heart: "It turns out that I look down on others, and people's calmness and calmness are not pretended at all, maybe people have deliberately put down their figures, hey, I don't know if he will have a bad impression of me." โ€

And the girl called Yu'er was even more stunned, unable to say a word. She muttered in her mouth: "No, it's not true, how is this possible, how can he defeat Uncle Mu Yan with a big head!"

Gu Qiu looked at the maid: "Can I go and get the first-level task now?"

The maid said nervously: "Of course, of course, I will take you to choose a first-level mission now!"

The girl's father, Yan Mu, went over and helped Mu Yan up, and Mu Yan barely stood up with a pale face.

Yan Mu asked, "What happened just now, are you afraid that you will hurt him in the end?"

The girl listened too, and she wanted to hear an affirmative answer. Although the young man just frowned and looked at her, for some reason, just this glance made him hate him extremely much.

He had never seen that kind of look, so cold, and there was extreme disdain.

She doesn't like it!

Mu Yan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's the power that has been collected, hehe." But it's not me, it's him!"

"What?" Yan Mu was shocked!, "Could it be that he is a Xuan Master?"

Mu Yan said: "Even if you are not a Xuan Master, I'm afraid it is not far away." โ€

Yan Mu turned his head and glared at the girl: "Yu'er, look at what a big disaster you have caused this time, such a young man, the background must be terrifying, you provoke such a character, maybe it will bring us a catastrophe, if you don't change your character, I don't think you will go out in the future!"
