Looking at Saori's inexplicable look, Alves explained calmly.

"This is the cultivation I have carried out, mainly to improve the foundation of physical fitness, when will you be able to carry a weight of five hundred kilograms on your back, clean this place twice in one day, and then you can proceed to the next step of cultivation."

By the way, I would like to remind you that remember to use "absolute" during the cleaning process. ”

Saori stared at Alves for a moment before answering.

"I see."

With that, she picked up the cleaning tools on the floor and began to do as Alves had said.

Alves smiled at this, and then embodied the "One-Hit Kill: Blood Curse", and stood on the fighting platform to practice the basic sword technique.

During this period of cultivation, Alves has basically mastered the dual use of one mind, and he can activate his thoughts without concentrating too much.

More than an hour later, under the weight of more than two hundred kilograms, Saori felt a wave of exhaustion welling up in her body, which made her stop slightly.

"For more than an hour in a row, aren't you tired?"

Looking at Alves on the fighting platform, who had been swinging the knife for more than an hour, Saori kept dripping.

Tired?

Of course tired.

And the weight on Alves's body weighs two tons, so it's no wonder that he is not tired.

However, Alves believes that every effort is a harvest, and when the talent is incomparable, he fills the hole with sweat.

Before you know it, an afternoon has passed.

Alves slowly retracted his knife and lifted it, looking up to see Saori still trying to clean up, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Saori."

"Ahh

Saori, who was about to get tired and lay down, subconsciously responded after hearing Alves' shout.

"It's already possible, stop!"

"Oh, oh, good!"

As soon as Saori's strength was relaxed, the whole person sat down in the seat.

Leaping out, Alves came to Saori.

"How does it feel?"

"I'm tired and don't want to move."

Alves smiled and pulled out the phone, then informed Mamiko.

"When you go back, remember to use "absolute" to recover your strength, and if you want to continue, remember to come over at eight o'clock tomorrow. ”

"I'm not going to give up."

With that, Alves turned and left the arena, leaving Saori alone.

Looking at the back of Alves leaving, Saori's gaze was quite complicated, and she didn't know how she persevered this afternoon, or because she saw Alves' unstoppable figure, she didn't think she would lose to Alves.

In addition, Alves's sweat-drenched, slightly trembling arms could not hide her perception and observation, which would only occur when she was extremely tired.

"I'm not going to lose to you."

Saori didn't realize that a cultivation method like the one Alves taught her could not only temper the body, but also invisibly exercise a person's willpower.

Not long after, Mamiko came to the arena and saw Saori's tired body, and a touch of distress flashed in her eyes.

"Saori, are you alright?"

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

Seeing Saori's smile, Mamiko felt even more distressed.

"Mommy will carry you back."

"Hmm!"

Mamiko, who had just focused on Saori's face, picked up Saori only to find that she was still wearing a weight of two hundred kilograms.

"It's so heavy, mom will help you take it off first."

"No, I'm going to wear it, and that's what he does."

Mamiko's movements paused, and she silently hugged Saori and left.

The next day.

When Alves arrived at the arena, Saori had already started practicing, and then he embodied the "One-Hit Kill: Blood Curse" without saying anything, and then began his own cultivation.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the last day of 1998.

Alves gave Mamiko a message and left the Athletic City in a flying ship.

Port Doré, port.

Alves had been here for more than a day, but instead of immediately heading in the direction of the huge cedar tree at the top of the mountain, he was waiting for something, keeping an eye on the surface of the sea from time to time.

In the morning, just after nine o'clock.

Seeing Alves docked with a large sailing ship, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"It's coming!"

Soon after, Alves saw the three men in his memory get off the boat one after another.

"The plot has begun!"

Looking at Xiao Jie, who got the hint and moved forward happily, Alves couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh?"

Xiao Jie keenly felt that a gaze fell on him, but when he looked at the place where the gaze came from, it was empty.

"It's really sensitive."

Alves secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being the original protagonist, and this talent was enough to surprise Alves.

However, the current Alves will not think that Xiaojie is still the protagonist, because he has come to this world.

"It's not time for contact yet."

Alves chuckled, and walked briskly out of the harbor of Porto Doré.

"It's weird!"

Although he didn't see anyone, Xiaojie still left three points of vigilance in his heart.

Alves headed towards the top of the hill and soon came to the bus stop in Porto Doré, where he calmly passed Kurapika and Leoli.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Kurapika and Leoli, who were thinking about what to do next, couldn't help but be stunned when Alves walked past them.

"This man?"

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of doubt in each other's eyes, because they were confident in their ability to feel, but if they hadn't seen Alves walk past them, they wouldn't have sensed Alves' presence at all.

"Leoli, that guy was so strange just now."

"Hmmm! As if he didn't have any presence, perhaps he was one of this year's candidates. ”

Kurapika looked in the direction Alves had left and said very seriously.

"Kurapika, Leoli."

At this moment, Xiaojie's shouting interrupted Kurapika and Leoli's thoughts.

"Xiaojie."

Kurapika and Leoli looked back at the same time.

"It's a hello!"

Alves muttered in his heart, and without pause, he headed towards the top of the mountain.

In the silent alley, Alves could feel that there were a lot of people hiding around him.

Just as Alves was about to cross this uninhabited alley, an old woman suddenly blocked in front of him, followed by a group of people wearing masks and white robes, shouting unified slogans, and blocked in front of him.

Alves stopped and smiled at the performance in front of him.

Suddenly, the old woman in front of him shouted loudly: "Guess the riddle in a heartbeat......

The old woman originally wanted to scare Alves, but Alves was not moved at all.

The old woman, who was looking at Alves, suddenly said, "You think of the big cedar tree, right?" ”

Alves smiled and replied, "Yes, are you going to stop me?" ”

As if ignoring Alves's answer, the old woman said directly: "There is no other way to get to the big cedar tree than through this town. ”

"Next, I'll come up with a puzzle......"

Before the old woman could finish her sentence, Alves interrupted, "Although it is rude to interrupt you, I don't want to play any puzzles, so can you let me pass?" ”

"As for the demonic beasts in the mountain, I just want to see them."

The old woman choked when the words came to her lips, looked at Alves and said, "If you don't answer, I have the right to disqualify you from the hunter exam." ”

Alves shook his head and said, "If you want to disqualify me from the hunter exam, you shouldn't have this right, and the review committee won't eliminate me for this reason." ”

The old woman looked at Alves very seriously, and in Alves's eyes, she saw peace and ......

Assertive.

Suddenly, the old woman stepped out of the way and gave way to the road behind her.

"You passed."

"Thank you."

Alves stepped forward, and after passing by the old woman's side, he was suddenly reminded by her.

"Young man, it's a good thing to have courage, but the demonic beasts in the mountains are not so easy to deal with."

"I think I still have some strength, so I don't have to worry about you."

Suddenly, the old woman and the people next to her all felt a pressure from Alves.

It wasn't until Alves' figure disappeared that the old woman sighed softly, "It's a warning!" ”

Not long after walking out of the town, Alves suddenly felt a fishy wind coming, and a wolf-shaped demonic beast two or three times the size of an ordinary wild wolf appeared in his eyes.

"This is Warcraft?"

Alves raised his hand and pressed the wolf-shaped beast's head to the ground.

Bang!

Suddenly, the evil thoughts on Alves's body rose and enveloped the wolf-type demonic beast's body, causing it to tremble with fright.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

After letting go of the wolf-type beast, Alves asked it, but only the look of fear left him to shake his head.

"Forget it, let's go!"

Alves retracted his evil thoughts and continued towards the top of the mountain.

"Woo......"

Although the wolf-shaped demonic beast didn't know why Alves let it go, its instinct to avoid evil made it quickly flee from the place.

About two hours later, Alves walked through the forest where demonic beasts appeared at any time, and came to the big cedar tree at the top of the mountain.

Along the way, he saw a lot of demonic beasts, in addition to the demon wolf at the beginning, there were also demon sheep, demon horses, etc., which made him grow a lot of knowledge.

After a casual search, Alves found several wooden houses with obvious traces of life, although he didn't see anyone, he could feel that there were four breaths in the wooden house.

Coming to the cabin, Alves shouted inside.

"Fierce fox, come out and take me to the examination room."

The fierce fox family who was playing in the house was stunned when they heard Alves' shout.

"Is it a candidate who has been here?"

"Just give it a try."

Just when the fierce fox opened the door and was about to launch a surprise attack on Alves, it suddenly enveloped it with a strong murderous intent, and it was so frightened that it didn't dare to move.

The sharp claws of the fierce fox stopped in front of him, and Alves said in a spurt: "Let's go! Before the sun goes down. ”

As he spoke, Alves withdrew the evil thoughts on his body, and the fierce fox in front of him suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How do you know?"

Although there was still a little fear in the eyes of the fierce fox, he still had the courage to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Isn't it your guide's job to send candidates to the test site?"

"Now, I should be qualified."

Alves does not answer its question head-on, but gets to the essence of the problem.

"Okay!"

"You wait for me a while, and I'll send you to the exam room in a moment."

The fierce fox that had just been frightened just wanted Alves to leave quickly, and it also wanted to tell the son and daughter-in-law of the family to see if they were frightened.

"Hmmm! I'll wait for you outside. ”

Alves exited the house, and after a while, the fox came out.

"Can you go?"

"You have to hurry."

As he spoke, the fox spread its wings and flew above Alves' head.

Alves reached out and grabbed his foot, letting it fly with him, heading towards the next level.

Along the way, Alves did not communicate much with the fierce fox, and it only took half an hour to arrive in the city of Kent.

After landing, the fierce fox quickly changed into an adult and said, "This is the city where the test site is located, come with me." ”

Alves nodded, and followed it.

No. 5, Section 2, Camellia Street.

Located next to a large hotel with incredible luxury, it is an ordinary restaurant.

"This is it."

The fierce fox looked back and said a word, and then walked in, and Alves, who had known that this was the case, followed him into the restaurant.

The fierce fox came to the shopkeeper and said calmly, "Is there still a place in the innermost room?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Yes, how many customers are there?" ”

The fierce fox replied, "1." ”

The shopkeeper asked, "What do you need?" ”

The fierce fox replied: "Steak set, slow fire and warm grill." ”

The shopkeeper saw that the fierce fox had perfectly matched the code, understood its identity and meaning in his heart, and said, "Please follow me." ”

Alves followed the fox and the shopkeeper all the way to the innermost room of the restaurant.

"Please come in."

Alves stepped past the man and the beast and entered the room.

The fierce fox said, "I'm sending you here, hoping that you can pass the exam and become a hunter." ”

Alves nodded and replied, "Thank you." ”

The fox helped Alves close the door and left with the shopkeeper.

Alves wiped it on his hand, and a braised pig's foot suddenly appeared in his hand, and he was hungry before he had eaten lunch.

Suddenly, the whole room shook and sank rapidly, and it didn't take long for Alves to hear a "ding" sound, and the door that had just been closed opened automatically.

Alves gnawed on the pig's feet, took a step and walked out, and was confronted with more than 200 people standing or sitting, single or double, or in a group in the examination room like a tunnel.
