Chapter 50: Pass

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Glory Hall which was the center of administration of the entire Safety Sector No. 17.

The building preserved the classical architectural style of the Ou Hai Continent, fusing many special traits of different countries in the continent together.

Despite the combination of a gothic ceiling coupled with complicated sculptures and a giant column that would overwhelm one’s sight, it did not come out as ridiculous as one would have thought.

On the highest floor of Glory Hall, behind a metallic gate that had a totem sculpted with an Ou Hai dragon was the headquarters of the Purple Moon Warriors of Safety Sector No. 17.

The office of the strongest combatants of Safety Sector No. 17 was not decorated as glamorously or as luxuriously.

Gray walls with a huge map embedded on it were flanked by rough stone tables and wooden chairs. All sorts of lively animal specimens filled the office with a heavy primal scent. In contrast, a giant embedded screen made up the entire south wall, adding a strange modern feeling to the entire office.

The screen on the wall was paused on No. 41. His three extreme dodgings were divided into three different frames of the same size, and the five men in front of the screen were studying them silently.

Four out of the five men wore purple uniforms and the other one wore a black elegant robe with purple lace.

After several seconds of silence, a man in a purple uniform brought several glasses of red wine from the wooden wine rack that was made out of a rustic log.

The man in the long robe took the red wine, sipped it, and then shook the crystal wine glass. He said slowly, “Fei Long, as the general captain of the Purple Moon, what do you think about Amir?”

The shortest of the four uniformed men took a glass of wine and drained it to the last drop. “I can confirm that he’s qualified to be at least 3 stars. As for the basics, if it’s not his reflexes, it must be his speed.”

“Isn’t it obvious enough?” The long-robed man slightly furrowed his brows.

“Lord Deputy Speaker, that’s all I can say without giving more further information. However, comparing his strength, the other two basics are no doubt a little better, but that’s it.” Fei Long casually passed the empty glass to the person beside him, and it was instantly refilled with red wine.

“I’m saying that he came from the settlement.” The long-robed man showed a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

“That doesn’t prove anything. Although the people of the settlement don’t qualify to be in the Genetic Chain initial development, but Lord Deputy Speaker, don’t you think sometimes the environment is the best catalyst there is?” Fei Long looked at the long-robed deputy speaker smugly.

“I understand what you mean, but the Parliament will never pass your decision! The so-called cruel growth programme isn’t suitable for the inner city. Do you know how much resistance we will face?” The deputy speaker looked a little impatient.

All these Purple Moon Warriors are crazy!

Why don’t they think about whether or not the nobles of the inner city will send their descendants, especially the best ones, to take the risk?

They didn’t climb the ranks in the sector and reach a high position just to let their descendants suffer.

“Ah, comfort will grind off one’s ambitions. If the Parliament doesn’t feel that the wasted resources are a pity, I don’t mind either, but the Lord Castellan though…” Fei Long puckered his lips.

“Lord Castellan won’t mind it either. His breakthrough will be more meaningful than choosing a hundred geniuses.” The deputy speaker stopped Fei Long, obviously displeased with him.

“As you wish then. The settlement wasn’t sold out by foolishness anyway.” Fei Long drained his glass of red wine again, but the tough crystal glass somehow had a crack on it.

“Fei Long!” The deputy speaker sounded fierce this time.

At that very moment, in order to ease the atmosphere, a man beside Fei Long stepped out. He had a black mask over his face, revealing only his eyes. Pointing at a corner of one of the frames, he said, “Aside from Amir, should we pay more attention to him?”

The corner of the frame was a little blur, so the deputy speaker stirred the air, and a virtual control desk that was formed out of light appeared in mid-air.

After several quick clicks on the control desk, the corner of the frame became clearer.

The enhanced frame showed a scrawny but decent-looking young man with black hair and eyes that were concentrated in deep thought.

“Him?” The deputy speaker was a little lost since he obviously did not know the young man.

“The young man that Su Yao brought over doesn’t seem like he’s from the sector. Su Yao brought him back from somewhere else,” explained the man in the mask.

As he spoke, he quickly pressed some buttons on the control desk and the young man’s information was displayed.

Tang Ling, 15 years old, height and weight…

“Nothing special. His strength and speed are only around a Fourth or Fifth’s level.” Fei Long raised his brows as he directly grabbed the bottle of wine and swigged a mouthful. After the wine went down his throat, he said, “But since Su Yao brought him here…”

“Should I take care of him? It’s my turn to be in charge of the First Reserved Camp after all,” asked the man in the mask.

“Whatever. It’s trivial anyway. Su Yao might be outstanding, but he never agreed to join the Purple Moon.” The deputy speaker glimpsed over Tang Ling’s information and did not pay any further attention.

“Alan, the First doesn’t accept garbage. No matter what, please follow the examination standards.” Fei Long furrowed his brows as he tapped the masked man, known as Alan, and added a word of comfort, “though I know you and Su Yao used to be friends.”

******

Tang Ling was still waiting in line.

He obviously had no idea that several important figures of Safety Sector No. 17 had gone through his information.

The examination was nearing its end.

After 35 consecutive rounds, time flew from morning to afternoon.

Death continued in the cage. There were already four deaths up until this point, but fortunately, the quality of the candidates improved as the exam went on.

There were a total of five candidates who passed, including two girls who performed as well as the boys in the cage.

To Tang Ling’s surprise, the short fellow beside him passed the exam too. It seemed like other than his desire to bite an apple, he possessed gifts in speed.

“As a matter of fact, the occurrence of the candidates showing numbers beyond a normal human’s transpired quite frequently. Although they weren’t as astounding as Amir’s, could they be considered those with Genetic Chain Potential? Could they deliver numbers that exceed the normal range?” Tang Ling was pondering upon the question.

At the same time, he sadly realized that he himself was unable to surpass the numbers regardless of any circumstances.

What if I take on that strange form? But can it be calculated? Tang Ling unconsciously glanced over his chest. There was no unusual sensation at his chest at the moment.

Anyway, he would never want to expose his little secret to the public.

Before Uncle Su Yao went away, he did warn Tang Ling about it, and he sounded like he meant it.

“What’s a secret? A secret is something that you don’t tell others. Remember, laying low and fighting for your own good sometimes doesn’t conflict with each other. I’m saying that a mere exam isn’t worthy of you revealing anything.”

Out of his trust in Su Yao, Tang Ling had solid reasons to believe should he expose his secret. Luck would not be waiting for him.

“No. 2.” The instructor interrupted Tang Ling’s deep thoughts.

The impatient Orston was finally called by the instructor.

Inside the cage, a male thundering frenzy bull was released and it was stomping around the cage madly.

When Orston walked past the instructor, the instructor tapped his shoulder. “Do your best.”

Orston chuckled in disdain. “Instructor, it’s just a wild beast. How can I perform my best?”

The instructor did not comment on Orston’s attitude and added, “Nevertheless, this is the content of the exam, so just do your best.”
