The Heihu Hunter Soldier Team has already been promoted to a B-level Hunter Soldier Team?! This news shocked all four members of the Huangteng team. The assessment had only reached the third day, how did Heihu get promoted so directly? "Earlier, Heihu’s tactics were overly vicious. After winning the first round against the Holy Armor Hunting Soldier Team, the second Hunter Soldier Team was also directly beaten into severe injuries. By the third round, no C-level Hunter Soldier Team dared to challenge Heihu again, they directly gave up their rights. When Heihu Hunter Soldier Team was choosing a B-level Hunter Soldier Team to challenge, they picked Jungle Tiger," Feng Kuo had learned the whole story from the captain of Jungle Tiger. During the promotion assessment for Hunter Soldier Teams, the assessment among teams of the same level is arranged by the Hunter Soldier Branch, but after passing the assessment at the same level, the choice is reversed when challenging a higher-level Hunter Soldier Team in the next round. Thus, a C-level Hunter Soldier Team that passed the assessment could freely choose any B-level Hunter Soldier Team located in Daoye Mountain as their opponent. Jungle Tiger had just passed the Hunter Soldier assessment last year and was promoted to a B-level Hunter Soldier Team. Heihu chose them because they were newly promoted and less experienced. The strength of Jungle Tiger’s captain, Li Tai, was only slightly inferior to that of Feng Kuo, and the other three team members were also quite strong, not much different from Wenren Xu and Mu Nanyan. Neither Li Tai nor Feng Kuo expected such a devastating defeat for Jungle Tiger at the assessment site. If even the veteran Hunter Soldier Team, Jungle Tiger, could not stop Heihu, there was no need to mention the other teams. Upon hearing this news, Feng Kuo’s face turned steely. Today’s battle inadvertently exacerbated Heihu’s arrogance. "Boss Feng, it’s the Heihu Hunter Soldier Team," from within the sub-arena, four burly figures walked out, the proud Hei Family brothers from the already prematurely promoted Heihu Hunters. Seeing the Huangteng Hunter Soldier Team, Hei Er let out a shrill scream: "Isn’t this Huangteng? I heard you guys are lucky, always encountering easy-to-squeeze soft persimmons." "Second brother, what you said is not quite right. It should be said that the hunters of Great Zhou are all soft persimmons," the four brothers said, then burst out laughing loudly, their arrogance infuriating the hunters present to the point their eyes reddened. The four strode away. Feng Kuo clenched his fists even tighter, his chest heaving violently, obviously enraged. He roared and punched the wall, immediately dripping fresh blood from his knuckles, looking ferocious. "Boss," both Mu Nanyan and Wenren Xu were just as angered, but they had no solution either. Jungle Tiger struggled against Heihu, and Huangteng wouldn’t fare much better, let alone, they were also accompanied by Yun Sheng. "Li is a good man; he saved my life back then. His hometown suffered from a flood years ago, many died. Over the years, the money he earned as a hunter, he sent it all back home to support the orphans and widows in his village. He even said that after serving as a hunter for another two or three years, he would return home to get married and honor his parents. Damn Heihu!" Feng Kuo was so furious, had it not been for Wenren Xu and Mu Nanyan holding him back, Feng Kuo’s fists might have ended up seriously damaged. "In the next assessment round, we will challenge the Heihu Hunting Soldier Team," a crisp and exceptionally loud voice interrupted Feng Kuo’s action. "Little Sheng’er, what did you say? You’re saying we’re going to challenge Heihu?" Wenren Xu’s face twitched strangely. "Yes, we have to pick a B level Hunter Soldier Team for our next round anyway. Since Heihu chose to challenge the least experienced Jungle Tiger, we might as well choose the least experienced Hunter Soldier Team. Probably, no B level team is less experienced than Heihu," Yun Sheng blinked, as if what she said was the simplest logic. "Little Sheng’er, but you’ve seen the strength of the Heihu team. Do you think you can... do we have a chance to win?" In fact, not just Yun Sheng, the idea of slaughtering the Heihu team had flickered through the minds of the three from Huangteng countless times. The most uncertain factor in Huangteng’s battle against Heihu lies with Yun Sheng. In the previous three rounds of assessments, Feng Kuo protected Yun Sheng tightly, but facing the powerful Heihu, everything would be different. "Their summoner is a Scepter Summoner, and I’m also a Scepter Summoner. If worse comes to worst, I’ll summon Bobbie," Yun Sheng declared with full confidence. Yun Sheng’s greatest advantage is that everyone thinks her War Beast is Little Black who follows by her side, making Bobbie her ultimate life-saving talisman. The three of them listened and thought that it made some sense. In the worst-case scenario, having Yun Sheng summon her annoying Demon Beast Egg, its crying alone would be enough to give Heihu a hard time. "Little Sheng’er, we agree then. If there are any unforeseeable circumstances, don’t worry about winning or losing, just directly call for help from the referee," Feng Kuo thought about taking Yun Sheng on this risky adventure and felt a surge of guilt. However, the idea of defeating Heihu and winning a breath of relief for the Jungle Tiger Hunter Soldier Team and the hunters of Great Zhou ultimately prevailed. After making the decision, Feng Kuo went to the Hunter Soldier Team to confirm the challenge against the Heihu team. In just half an hour, every place where hunters roamed in Daoye Mountain received the news: C level veteran Hunter Soldier Team Huangteng will challenge B level newcomer Hunter Soldier Team Heihu. This is undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing match in the Hunter Soldier Team competition to date. In the Arena, the recently unbanned Overlord Soul Hunters completed their second round of assessment. "Oh, you mean Huangteng wants to challenge Heihu?" After being repeatedly reminded by General Batu, Divine Wind finally behaved properly. The remaining members of the Overlord Soul Team are also extremely strong, basically, by just squatting aside, Divine Wind can win; their promotion to B level Hunter Soldier Team is just a matter of time. "King, you don’t seem to be worried about that little girl. I see you’re quite concerned about her," during the days when the Overlord Soul team was banned from competing, Divine Wind went to the Hunter Soldier Branch daily and using his charm flirted with the officials, who soon revealed all details of the team assessments. During those matches of Huangteng, he personally went to the venue to cheer for her, only to be stopped by General Batu, who reminded him to maintain his image and uphold the dignity of the Xianju Imperial Family, since Xianju and Great Zhou are not allies, and cheering for an enemy nation’s hunters is better avoided. "The little one will be fine; she’s quite cunning. But I’m really curious what her Summoned Beast is. The little black dog by her side doesn’t bear any summoning mark," Divine Wind stroked his chin, probably the only person outside of the Huangteng trio who knew that Yun Sheng’s Summoned Beast wasn’t Little Black. Divine Wind decided, for the battle between Huangteng and Heihu, he definitely had to arrive early at the sub-arena with his little stool to cheer for Yun Sheng.
