Kurt looked at Li Xin, "You’ve passed the first test. How about it, want to compete with Carlo?"
Seeing Li Xin nod, Kurt gestured, and five steel balls returned to his hand. This ti when he threw them out, he used a technique. The steel balls were more spread out, with collision balls, requiring higher reaction and accuracy skills—definitely increasing the difficulty.
Carlo’s eyes shone with a faint red light as the Hex Demon-Sealing Spear struck swiftly, bang bang bang bang bang~~~
Once again, perfect shots, the feeling of the gun was maxed out. He used spiritual ability, stepping up the intensity; Carlo had extraordinary talent in ntal locking and visual analysis.
"Your turn." With a gesture, Carlo summoned the five steel balls back obediently into his hand. The level of the first round was actually enough, but he had to maintain the team leader’s authority and also dampen the newcor’s morale a bit, making it easier to lead the team.
Young and strong, all hopping with confidence, but the Night Patrol team required obeying orders, not individuality.
Five steel balls were tossed out, three spread out. The Demon-Sealing Spear struck simultaneously, while the other two, after colliding, veered off trajectory, spreading in arcs. Li Xin used a two-handed shooting stance, maximizing stability but reducing flexibility. He could hit one, but turning to hit the other would definitely be too late.
Kathy paused in the act of eating her flying sunflower seeds as the fourth ball was hit, the fifth silver ball heading towards Li Xin’s side-back, almost hitting the ground.
Boom~~~
Without a pause, the Demon-Sealing Spear was released from his left hand as his right hand suddenly whipped out a shot, bang~~~
At the last mont, the silver ball was shot right off the ground.
The crowd fell silent, then an uproar of applause and cheers followed. This last shot truly showcased skill. Everyone present was from Night Patrol, and they had sharp eyes. Holding the gun with both hands achieved accuracy, which was a basic requirent, showing he hadn’t yet mastered the feel of the gun fully. But that last shot, this kid showed his true level. Even with so luck involved, it indicated a particularly good sense of the gun.
Carlo gave Li Xin a peculiar look, "Captain, I acknowledge his shooting skills."
"Big Tooth, you can doubt my drinking capacity, but don’t doubt my integrity and work attitude. Do you think just anyone can get two Demon-Sealing Spears from ?" Mo Feng mockingly challenged, "I’m crippled but not useless."
Li Xin indeed got two Demon-Sealing Spears from Mo Feng, mainly because he said many flattering words and was believed to be related to Luo Jin, so no one made a big deal. Mo Feng knew he was precise but didn’t expect him to be this accurate in practice.
Kurt’s face seed a bit solemn, feeling a little slighted in front of so many people; after all, as the captain, he couldn’t afford to lose face. He said solemnly, "First test shooting is good, close combat now. Steel, let the newcor experience the difficulty of our work, don’t make us look bad."
"Hehe, yes, captain, I’ll give the newcor a proper welco. Our fifth team is the most enthusiastic." Wu Gang grinned, baring his teeth. This young one was quite arrogant.
As the two were getting ready, Mo Feng walked over to Kurt, "Your skin has gotten this thick now? Just with this shooting skill, he’s more than qualified to be a formal team mber."
"Hehe, I’m the captain. I decide."
"Tsk, passing my training makes him qualified. Pulling this stunt leaves no face, but if he passes, you’ll owe a good bottle of wine!"
"Fine, if he can hold out for three minutes without falling, take whatever you want from . If he can’t, rember it’s your problem. You go tell the captain; I’m not responsible here."
Mo Feng chuckled, indeed aligning with Kurt’s suspicions. Regarding Li Xin’s placent, other captains found various excuses to push him away; no one wanted to deal with a potentially influential player, true or not. Even if he was skilled, who’s to bla if sothing goes wrong?
By sheer coincidence, when Kurt wasn’t around.
Wu Gang removed the Night Patrol uniform, revealing a vest and solid muscles that seed to pulse with power. "Li Xin, feel free to use spiritual ability. Our Night Patrol deals with monsters and Awakened alike, flashy tricks are useless."
"Please, senior." Li Xin set the Demon-Sealing Spears aside.
Wu Gang clenched his fists, dropping down, "Hah!"
With a vigorous shout, spiritual energy erupted, a strong aura sweeping outwards, followed imdiately by his lightning-fast charge towards Li Xin, fist hamring down directly.
Tatatatatata~~~
Facing Li Xin was a storm of fierce blows, papapapa~~
Li Xin blocked and retreated, deconstructing his aggressive onslaught. Wu Gang of the fifth team favored a strong and aggressive approach; spiritual energy enhanced muscle strength and resistance to blows, and his inherent masculine energy gave him a strong resistance to dark forces. Even the Abyssal Worms dared not approach such a person.
Seeing Li Xin manage to block, Wu Gang got excited. With a shout, he suddenly burst out a close-range elbow smash. A hit here would an a broken arm; Li Xin quickly sidestepped, yet Wu Gang’s spinning kick followed, sweeping Li Xin several ters away.
Just as Li Xin regained his footing, Wu Gang charged again, lost in the thrill of the fight, forgetting it was a test, throwing a punch straight at Li Xin’s head.
Li Xin didn’t expect a sudden kill move, instinctively catching it with both hands, then redirecting it downwards. Wu Gang crashed to the ground, and Li Xin lashed out with a kick towards Wu Gang’s neck, only realizing in the midst of the motion, hurriedly pulling back and stomping on the ground instead.
Boom...
Wu Gang slamd into the ground. The training ground fell silent, and those eating sunflower seeds forgot to munch. Just as it seed Li Xin couldn’t hold out, the situation suddenly flipped. Wu Gang quickly scrambled up from the ground, glancing at the hole, then Li Xin, words caught in his throat. Years of fighting had honed his sense of danger, and for a brief mont, he felt like he’d kissed death and crawled back from Hell.
Clap clap clap~~~
"Big Tooth, how about it, huh? My training standards still decent? This kid enough to be an official team mber?" Mo Feng imdiately taunted. Though outwardly calm, he was quite sensitive having remained with Night Patrol after losing his leg, never relaxing his work standards.
Wu Gang was too embarrassed to speak; he could feel the other actually held back. Though he didn’t think he could get hurt, as an experienced mber, this wasn’t a full-on fight—it was a test. Beating him to such a point gave him no face to continue.
"Big Tooth, if it’s tough for you, Team Two is shorthanded. I can help you out."
"Oh, co on, Team Two has the most people. Team One is the one short on hands. We’re all brothers; let have this one!"
"Team Four isn’t afraid of trouble; taking care of newcors is all about work. Let handle it."
Instantly, a confusing uproar ensued, eyes turning green with envy; damn, had they known the kid was this skilled, everyone would’ve wanted him. This kind of influential recruit? Take as many as you can; how did Kurt get so lucky!
"Back off back off, move aside, what’s the commotion," Kurt glanced at Li Xin, "What are y’all fantasizing about? This is internal sparring in my Team Five—capturing emotions. You’re lucky I’m not charging for the show, now scram, stop blabbering!"
Turning to Mo Feng, "Old Mo, haha, how could I really doubt you? Just wanted to stir up so competitive spirit in the newbie. Pick whatever you want to drink, we’re old buddies, no biggie!"
Mo Feng: ?
"Carlo, Wu Gang, what are you standing around for? Show Li Xin the area we’re in charge of. Let’s have a good al tonight. From here on out, we’re family, keep the riffraff at bay." Kurt commanded with a stern face, though his eyes almost crinkled with a smile.
Hell, this wasn’t a rookie—this was an ace.
"Haha, Li Xin, c’mon, don’t mind those fools. Our Team Five is the most comfortable, best atmosphere. Just call Old Steel, and this one is Sisterie—Bro, better rember, don’t call wrong."
"Wu Gang, stop being an ass!"
"Tsk tsk, in our Team Five, never say, the biggest temper isn’t the captain; it’s Brother Carlo. Rember, don’t play cards with Brother Carlo; he naturally has one more pair."
Bang, a bullet grazed Wu Gang’s scalp as Carlo glared fiercely, prompting Wu Gang to grab Li Xin and make a mad dash...
