Chapter 34 The Examination Begins
Since the beginning of winter, the temperature in Dongfu has become more and more severe, and heavy snow has fallen in the sky, covering the eaves with a heavy cotton jacket.
In the center of the martial arts arena, Chu Ce was dressed in gray shorts, stepping on cloth shoes, and was dismantling with Hong Tieshan.
But hearing a loud roar, Chu Ce strode forward, his fists struck out one after another, each style of qi penetrated his body, he didn't pay attention to attacking the enemy's vital points, he just wanted to maximize his physical strength, and he was really as irresistible as a brute bull.
And each punch of his was stronger than the previous punch, and the momentum became more and more vigorous, and finally when the momentum rose to the peak, Chu Ce roared, got up and twisted his waist, sent all his body strength to his shoulders, and punched out!
"Boom!"
This punch slammed into Hong Tieshan's arm, causing him to take three steps back.
"Good!"
Hong Tieshan praised: "The gas runs through the long river, and there is no stagnation!" Ah Ce, you've already started this set of Hundred Battle Fists! ”
Chu Ce was secretly happy in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly clenched his fists: "It's all the guidance of the head coach!" ”
"Hahaha!" Hong Tieshan laughed, "Don't be modest, your progress speed is really amazing, although you have only just begun to refine your strength, but the ordinary nursing home is estimated to be no longer your opponent, tonight's gang assessment, presumably nine out of ten!" ”
Chu Ce smiled: "Then I will borrow the auspicious words of the sect leader." ”
At this time, Wei Xiong also paced from not far away: "Ace, are you ready to be assessed?" Tonight's assessment is very important, if you don't pass, you will have to wait for half a year to participate in the next assessment again, you have to deal with it carefully. ”
Chu Ce nodded again and again: "Brother Wei, I will come on." ”
"Well," Wei Xiong smiled and nodded, "Azer, I'm relieved of you, but there's one thing you need to pay attention to." ”
"Brother Wei, please speak."
"Then you can't be as soft-hearted as you are usual!"
"Huh?" Chu Ce was stunned for a moment, "How can Brother Wei say this?" ”
Wei Xiong sighed: "Ace, the content of the gang's assessment is usually related to the specific things in the gang, I know that during this time, you often buy some rough grain to feed the beggars on the street, it can be seen that you still have feelings for the homeless, but Ace, you also have to understand your identity!"
I've heard about the demon siege recently, right? Those demons were scattered around the Sky Wolf City, hunting wild animals on a large scale, not only did the hunters in the city lose their income, but even the caravans coming and going from the surrounding cities were greatly reduced!
In this case, the life of the displaced people is getting more and more difficult day by day! Without food, some people choose to take risks, and as far as I know, there are more than 50 displaced people who attacked our gang property yesterday alone!
If you encounter such a situation, you can't be merciful! ”
Wei Xiong's words made Chu Ce's originally excited face darken, and by the way, even the joy of improving his strength dissipated.
Why didn't he know about these things?
In the past half month, the demons they had encountered before had not only not left, but had become closer and closer to Sky Wolf City, causing the caravans to decrease day by day.
Although the food stored in the city is more than enough to support for more than half a year, and if the matter is really urgent, the main city Dongfu will also send people to support, so it stands to reason that there is no need to worry.
However, prices in the city are still rising every day.
For the ordinary residents of Sky Wolf City, it is harmless, it is nothing more than less fish and meat, but for the outcasts, it is to force them to their death!
And that's not the worst of it.
Terrible, a black hand from the shadows.
During this period of time, almost every other week, Chu Ce would meet with Zhuo Tianyu and ask some questions about Dao cultivation.
When chatting, they will also talk about demons, Red Lotus Sect and other issues.
It can be seen that Zhuo Tianyu was overwhelmed by these troubles, and he speculated that the mysterious woman in the tunnel forced Jin Ling to kill her own son in order to use this hatred to cultivate him into a demon.
In this way, you can bypass the majestic walls of Sky Wolf City and create a demon directly in the city!
Such a big unstable factor naturally attracted the attention of the Demon Hunting Division, but after searching for half a month, nothing was found, and the identity of the mysterious woman was also clueless.
At the same time, the activities of the Red Lotus Sect were not weakened by successive blows, but became more and more rampant, often inciting those who were in a desperate situation to create riots.
It can be clearly seen that some people want to disturb the interior of Sky Wolf City, and now they rely on the elite Sky Wolf City soldiers to barely suppress it, but I don't know when the situation will get out of control.
Therefore, becoming an official gang member of the Shanhe Gang cannot be delayed!
Otherwise, if you are really in danger, you are afraid that you will be ruthlessly abandoned by the gang!
Moreover, his strength can improve so quickly, and the most important factors are the whale swallowing skill and the weekly medicinal bath, but the cost of this is also amazing, and the family foundation that Xiao Tiance gave him is about to bottom out, and he must take on those well-paid tasks after becoming a full member in order to maintain his cultivation speed.
Secretly determined, Chu Ce took a deep breath, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Wei, don't worry, this matter is very important, and the younger brother will not be hypocritical." ”
"That's fine." Wei Xiong patted Chu Ce on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go back to the house and rest for a while, the assessment will start after dinner." ”
Chu Ce nodded with a heavy heart, returned to the house and meditated cross-legged to adjust his state.
Soon, night fell, and after eating three bowls of rice, Chu Ce came to the inner courtyard, where dozens of people had gathered at this time, and they were all members of the gang who participated in the assessment together this time.
Chu Ce glanced at it and found that each of his eyes was shining, full of qi and blood, and there were several muscles like marble sculptures, even if he hadn't reached the refining strength level, it was estimated that it was not far behind.
Moreover, some of these people have been apprentices for four or five years, although they are not talented enough and have been stuck in the beginning of refining strength, but at least they have far better experience in facing the enemy than themselves.
Just as he was secretly pondering, five warriors in black velvet clothes with strong physiques strode over.
The first one glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am Zhou Xing, the deputy hall master of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Shanhe Gang, and I am also the inspector of your assessment this time.
The content of this assessment is much simpler than before, you only need to go to my Shanhe Gang's casino to help maintain order, for a week, and then I and the four inspectors behind me will determine whether to pass the assessment. ”
When the words fell, whispers suddenly sounded below, and everyone's eyes were full of respect and worship when they looked at Zhou Xing.
In the Shanhe Gang, those who can become hall masters are all masters who have entered the Juyuan Realm, and they have great power, and they can easily earn hundreds of taels of silver in a month.
Chu Ce was also quite surprised, but this emotion only lasted for a moment, and he threw it in his mind, and his heart began to ponder secretly.
Helping to maintain order at a casino? Sounds like a simple task.
But most importantly, how is the score determined?
Isn't it standard to see the standing posture mark?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Chu Ce didn't say anything, and then he heard Zhou Xing say again: "Those who pass the score can become official members of our gang, the top ten in the score will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the top five will be rewarded with twenty taels, and the first person can go to the first and second floors of Hyogo to choose a suitable weapon!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and the interest of the trainees was immediately mobilized.
Seeing this, Zhou Xing smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, then I will arrange specific positions for you......"
