In the blink of an eye, a month's vacation has passed.

In the spacious room, Hong Wu sat cross-legged, wisps of Five Elements Yuan Force gathered and merged into his body.

Although this month's time is the Chinese New Year, Hong Wu has not slackened, and he never dares to fall behind in his daily cultivation, even if he needs to accompany Lin Xue's father and daughter during the day, he will make up for the delay at night.

"This month, my body has been improving more slowly." Hong Wu's mind sank into his body and sensed his own state, "It seems that if you don't break through to the martial artist realm, it will be difficult to advance sooner or later, and your cultivation will stop." ”

"This is the limit of the Great Realm Barrier, I have reached the limit of the Martial Artist Realm, if I want to improve further, I must sublimate the Extreme Realm and step into the Martial Master Realm."

Hong Wu is very clear about his own state, and it is really uncomfortable to be trapped in the martial arts realm.

"It's almost time, I'll go back to the martial arts hall today, and I'll go to Beihan District to hunt demons." Hongwu stood up, said hello to Lin Xue's father and daughter, and walked out of the house, Lin Xue had already packed his luggage.

"Hongwu, I know that the students of your martial arts hall sometimes go to the wilderness area to hunt demonic beasts, as an experience, you must be careful."

"Little Brother ......"

Lin Zhongping's father and daughter both went to the door to see Hong Wu, Lin Zhongping was better, but he kept telling Hong Wu to be careful, but Lin Xue was crying, looking at Hong Wu with teary eyes, so that Hong Wu didn't know what to do.

"Uncle Lin, Xue'er, you all go back, I can take care of myself." Hong Wuqiang smiled and waved at them, "Let's all go back, you don't need to send it, maybe we will be able to meet in Huaxia City soon." ”

……

The Yuzhou branch of the Huaxia Martial Arts Museum is full of people.

"I've heard that there are only three core student slots this year."

"Well, I've also heard that there are indeed only three, and in the past, there were almost a few places occupied by fourth-graders every year, and this year is no exception."

"That maybe, it is said that there are a few amazing characters among the third graders, and they are extremely evil, and it is estimated that they will not be much worse than the fourth graders."

"It's not just the third-year students, this year is very different, there seem to be one or two characters among the second-year students who can match the fourth-year students, it is said that they come from the mysterious ancient martial arts family, and they have inherited the mysterious secret techniques and ancient cultivation methods, and have stepped into the realm of martial artists."

As soon as he walked into the Huaxia Martial Arts Hall, Hongwu faintly heard all kinds of discussions, and many people were talking about the number of core students.

It seems that the matter about the number of core cadets is no secret.

"It's no wonder that there will be a big competition next month, so it's necessary to tell some students in advance so that they can get ready, right?" Hong Wu thought about it and was relieved.

Next month is the time when the big martial arts competition is coming, and many martial arts realm students must have already gotten the news, and it is not strange that it has spread all over the entire Huaxia Martial Arts Hall now.

"Yin flies alone." Hong Wu looked at a young man with a cold face who was walking not far away.

"What is he doing here, is he going out to hunt demons?" Hong Wu was a little surprised.

The young man with a gloomy look is named Yin Danfei, he is a fourth-grader, but now he is dressed in a fighting state, carrying a tactical backpack, wearing a camouflage uniform, and holding a war knife in his hand, he knows at a glance that he is going out to hunt demonic beasts.

Yin Danfei also glanced at Hong Wu, bypassed him directly, and walked towards the door of the Huaxia Martial Arts Hall.

When Yin Danfei's back disappeared at the door of the martial arts hall, Hong Wu came back to his senses, and couldn't help but look at it, "Even Yin Danfei and other students who have already stepped into the martial arts realm are so nervous that they have to go out to hunt demons, it seems that the competition for the core student quota will be fierce this time." ”

I have some understanding of Yin Danfei Hongwu, this person has a gloomy face all day long, and he doesn't have many friends, but his strength is indeed very strong, he has already stepped into the martial arts realm, and now he may have cultivated to the third order of the martial arts realm, or even the fourth order, but he forced himself so much, he went out to hunt demons just after the New Year, what does this mean?

"It seems that fourth-year students are indeed not as they seem on the surface, there are only a dozen martial arts realms." Hong Wu frowned, he had long suspected that there were unknown genius masters among the fourth graders, but now it seemed that he had really guessed it.

All the way back to his apartment, Hong Wu's face was a little ugly.

Returning to the apartment from the door of the martial arts hall, it was only a short time before he met three martial arts realm students who were about to go out to hunt demons, which made him feel pressure, this time the competition for the core student place, the opponent seemed to be strong and scary, I don't know if I can beat them?

"Let's rest for a day today, and then set off tomorrow to go to Beihan District." One by one the Martial Arts Realm students went out to hunt demons, and Hong Wu was naturally not far behind, and decided to set off tomorrow.

……

Liu Hu still didn't go back to the martial arts hall, Fang Yu didn't come, Ye Mingzhi wasn't there, Hong Wu thought about it, and it seemed that he didn't need to say goodbye to anyone.

"Go to the mercenary union first and register as a mercenary." Hong Wu carried his tactical backpack on his back, and the purple metal pieces he always carried with him, which helped him practice the "Chaos Alchemy Technique", and the seven flying knives were tied to his waist by him, and he could enter the combat state at any time, in addition to some clothes, tents, compressed biscuits, and the like.

Walking out of the gate of the martial arts hall, Hongwu went all the way to the mercenary union.

Since most of the mercenaries come from the Huaxia Martial Arts Hall, the mercenary union is not far from the Huaxia Martial Arts Hall, and it won't take long for Hongwu to walk.

"Here we are."

Ten minutes later, Hongwu came to a building with more than 30 floors, hundreds of meters high, the entrance of the building is full of people, very lively, on the top of the gate is a gilt plaque, on the book four big characters - mercenary union.

Mercenary is an ancient profession that has not disappeared at any time, even in times of war, but its activity varies from era to era.

Nowadays, all kinds of demonic beasts are rampant everywhere, and hunting them has become a lucrative way to make money, so mercenaries have also developed to an extreme in this era, and even formed a place like the mercenary union.

The mercenaries are mixed in the shadow of swords and swords, active on the edge of life and death, there are many of them, and they are heroic and uninhibited, so Hong Wu saw such a scene after entering the mercenary union.

Mercenaries either sit in the bar and brag to others about how many powerful monsters they have killed, or three or five people get together to discuss where to hunt demons next, almost everyone carries weapons with them, which is impossible in the Huaxia Martial Arts Hall.

"What do you need, sir?" A scantily clad maid walked up to Hong Wu with a smile and said charmingly, "We have the best wine, the hottest girl, and the sharpest weapon here......"

"I'm here to sign up as a mercenary." Hong Wu interrupted directly.

Although he has never been to the mercenary union, he has also heard others say that the mercenary union is a mixed place, because most of the mercenaries are characters dancing on swords, and the pressure is extremely high, and most of them will come to the mercenary union after a demon hunt.

One is to sell the hunted monster materials, and the other is to indulge yourself, drink alcohol, eat meat, or ......

Over time, there were many bars, restaurants, and even gentle towns in the mercenary union, and some young and beautiful girls would come to work in the mercenary union, they were scantily dressed, but just to attract customers and earn a little tip.

When she heard that Hongwu was here to register as a mercenary, not to drink and consume, the maid couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "Sir, you can register as a mercenary and go directly to the second floor to find the staff of the mercenary union." ”

"Well, thank you." Hong Wu smiled slightly, stuffed a hundred-yuan earth coin into the maid's hand, ignored the maid's surprised look, and directly boarded the elevator and went to the second floor.

When Hong Wu disappeared into the elevator, the maid came back to her senses and ran happily.

Most people don't tip her so much, and they just show the way, and today is considered lucky.

Coming to the second floor, Hong Wu saw the people of the mercenary union at a glance.

"I'm here to register as a mercenary, what should I do?" Hong Wu stepped forward directly.

"Pay 100 Earth Coins first, and then go to test the cultivation." The staff went directly to Dao, "If you have a high-level martial arts cultivation, it's no problem, and you can register in half an hour." ”

"Hmm." Hong Wu nodded.

Everything is very simple, it takes less than half an hour, and in twenty minutes, Hong Wu has obtained a license that belongs to a mercenary, and now, he is considered a free mercenary.

"Whew, everything is done, go to the North Culvert District." Hong Wu smiled, "Beihan District, Ocean Warcraft, I'm here Hongwu." ”
