So, naturally, I need to go out and broaden my horizons!
Lin Hao nodded, "I'll go, but I can't come with you guys, otherwise I'm afraid you'll get dragged into this, hehe!"
Luo Feng felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the familiar evil expression on Lin Hao's face.
'I wonder who will be unlucky this time...'
Luo Feng secretly guessed, but since Lin Hao could go, he felt more confident no matter what.
Unexpectedly, Luo Feng and his team were quite well-prepared. They had already prepared all the relevant information about the assessment rules and sent him a copy as well.
The details were quite long, and Lin Hao was too lazy to read them all carefully. This was a game of causing trouble and crushing the opponent.
……
Horned Dragon Star.
The headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.
Luo Feng, along with Hong, Lei Shen, and Tie Nanhe and Ao Gu, whom Lin Hao had casually bought for him after receiving 100 billion Qianwu coins, had already begun queuing up to register for the assessment. Meanwhile, Lin Hao was still sitting in the starry sky outside Qiulong Star, leisurely flying towards Qiulong Star in the captured C6-class spaceship.
"Remember, participate in the assessment as normal. If you encounter me in the Realm Lord's World later, pretend you don't know me at all. I will contact you if needed, but try not to contact me first..."
While waiting in line, Luo Feng recalled the words Lin Hao had spoken to him and the others when they parted ways after they came out of the Dark Universe.
……
Canglan Star.
After arriving alone in the spaceship, Lin Hao put the spaceship away.
In the ancient city of Thunder, in front of a villa guarded by numerous guards.
The staff and guards were astonished to see Lin Hao, who had come to the assessment alone. It had been a long time since a lone wolf had appeared in the trainee mercenary assessment mission.
After all, the most dangerous part of the assessment mission is not the mission itself, but the other adventurers participating in the mercenary assessment!
"Scan successful, please proceed."
Having confirmed Lin Hao's identity, the staff member didn't say much. Watching Lin Hao's figure disappear into the portal, they shook their head, "Really fearless... coming alone to get himself killed..."
After being teleported, Lin Hao appeared in another sky, and the sudden change in gravity caused his body to fall slightly.
"3900 times the gravitational pull... the flight speed has slowed down significantly. Babata, how is the small probe performing?"
Feeling the influence of the Thunder World on him, Lin Hao asked.
"No problem, everything is normal. I really didn't expect you to take the risk!"
Babata was very excited. Lin Haoqiang was strong, but he was indulging in a life of pleasure all day long. She had promised not to interfere anymore, so after the initial excitement wore off, he could only helplessly pass the time by playing games in the virtual universe, out of sight, out of mind.
Now, she feels like she's finally made it through!
Now, Lin Hao only has her by his side!
Lin Hao glanced at the map and flew straight towards Wind and Thunder Canyon.
Along the way, Lin Hao would casually use his swordsmanship to kill some of the star-level ferocious beasts he encountered, as a form of training.
Soon, they encountered another human team that had come to participate in the assessment.
Upon seeing that Lin Hao was alone, the leader of the five-person team immediately changed his expression and led his team to quickly surround him.
Doing quests here is nothing compared to killing and robbing. You work hard to kill a ferocious beast, but it's only worth a few coins. However, if you successfully surround and kill it, you can get all the wealth and quest items from the target!
Therefore, no lone wolf has dared to sign up for the trainee mercenary assessment for a long time.
"Alas, a path to certain death has already been chosen..."
Lin Hao didn't even bother to look at the attacks from the other four, letting them bombard him as if it were just tickling him. He casually blocked a slash from the ninth-tier stellar-level captain with a single stroke, and with a slight fluctuation of his law power, all of them were frozen into ice sculptures.
He thought he was a pretty good person; in a full twenty-five years, he had only killed three people!
Why court death?
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Hao was about to continue on his way.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?!"
Babata's panicked voice rang out.
The sky, which had been relatively calm, suddenly became foggy, and a thick, yellowish-brown dust storm swept in instantly.
To test his limits, Lin Hao did not choose to hide in a nearby cave, but instead walked straight there with a calm expression.
"Chichi~~"
The sand, which originally contained the primordial energy of the raging universe, gradually became docile and slowly fell after flowing into Lin Hao's body.
"Phew, thankfully. Maintaining the domain against the death dust storm is indeed very taxing, but the primal energy contained within the dust storm is enough to compensate for the loss..."
"?"
(ΩДΩ)!
The journey was uneventful, and Lin Hao, now with several spatial rings in hand, arrived at the Wind and Thunder Canyon.
Chapter 48 Three minutes, I want all the information on this man!
"The most dangerous lightning in the entire Wind and Thunder Canyon is said to be able to kill even a weak Domain Lord directly, and even a Cosmic level expert has no chance of survival. No, I have to try it!"
"Sigh... never mind..."
Babata wanted to offer some advice, but then realized it would be pointless and he could only remain a spectator.
The mountain range in front of us is barren. In the very center of this mountain range, it is as if a divine sword has cleaved it open, creating a canyon.
The gale, originating from the primordial energy of the universe, howled wildly.
Lin Hao first went to experience the gale-force winds of Wind and Thunder Canyon, but he was greatly disappointed, feeling that the intensity was not much different from the Death Dust Storm.
So he decided to go find the lightning in the Wind and Thunder Canyon to continue testing his limits.
After all, how tough you are determines how recklessly you can go next!
Hidden in various places along the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon are the younger generation from many families, forces, and planets in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.
Ignoring the covetous glances, Lin Hao flew straight towards the top of the canyon.
Along the way, no team took the initiative to intercept and kill Lin Hao.
This place is different from other places. Regardless of whether Lin Hao is a lone wolf or his teammates died along the way, he must have some skills to have made it to Fenglei Canyon.
For a moment, all the teams that spotted Lin Hao chose to observe silently, unlike the teams Lin Hao had encountered before who impulsively came to intercept and kill him.
……
Luo Feng and his group have been in the Wind and Thunder Canyon for about ten days. With the guidance of the AI, they found a good spot and were waiting at the cave entrance to collect the wind-blown rocks that had been blown out by the strong winds. Their efficiency was not bad.
Since the entire system was fully automated using the Moyun Vine, Luo Feng and his group of five simply sat cross-legged to the side.
They might be cultivating themselves or simply enjoying the show.
The cave entrance where they were stationed was equipped with a projection screen created by AI. The screen displayed four images, showing the scenery within a 20-kilometer radius in great detail.
"Hey, someone's gone up to the top of the mountain. Zoom in on his view and see how lucky he is."
Looking at a corner of the screen in the lower right corner, a figure flew straight towards the top of the canyon, and Thor became interested.
"..."
When the image was zoomed in, all five people, including Tie Nanhe and Ao Gu, fell silent upon seeing the familiar figure in the picture.
"So... what is Senior Brother doing? Isn't he afraid of being struck by lightning?"
After a long silence, Luo Feng stammered.
"Remember, we don't know him, just keep an eye on him..."
Hong Laocheng, being prudent and strictly following Lin Hao's instructions before the trip, gave a reminder.
In the scene, the dark clouds on the dome of the Wind and Thunder Canyon suddenly cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns, and the liquid primal force surrounding Lin Hao boiled violently in the high-voltage electric field.
The moment he stepped into the high-altitude thunderstorm zone atop the mountain, a purple lightning dragon tore through the sky, its roar causing the mountains on both sides of the canyon to crumble and fall.
boom!
The liquid protective shield around Lin Hao instantly collapsed into a three-inch thin curtain. The moment the lightning touched the water curtain, the liquid primal force, which was about to dissipate, was tempered and weakened by the law of water, and the lightning that was dancing in his hair suddenly became as gentle as a stream.
"It's quite comfortable. It's a pity I can't break through, otherwise this effect would probably temper and improve my body even faster than soaking in a nutrient tank..."
"Huh? When did you soak in the nutrient tank again? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Don't worry about the details. Dreams about the future can easily involve several years. I can't possibly tell you every single detail. Don't worry about those details."
"..."
Lin Hao felt the stimulation of the lightning power on his body.
The liquid primal force containing the laws of water successfully transformed the raging lightning power into bio-currents that tempered the cells.
The adventurers watching from afar were horrified to discover that liquid lightning armor was growing on the madman's body.
"This is impossible! How did he do that? Did he cross the threshold of the laws or possess a secret treasure?!"
The leader of one of the teams was deeply shocked.
He couldn't believe that he could meet a legendary genius who had crossed the threshold of the laws during a mere apprentice mercenary assessment!
The idea of a secret treasure is also unreliable. What kind of secret treasure could allow a stellar-level being to easily withstand the lightning that could annihilate a cosmic-level powerhouse, and dare to use it in front of everyone?
Before he could think further, thunderclouds that had been dormant for millennia deep in the canyon began to converge toward the dome, and the originally bluish-purple arcs of electricity gradually turned a ghostly blue—a sign that a lightning bolt powerful enough to annihilate a newly ascended Domain Lord was about to take shape.
Lin Hao spread his arms wide at the top of the canyon and laughed loudly: "Again!"
The liquid matrix suspended overhead exploded with a roar, turning into billions of water droplets encased in lightning.
The moment the deep purple lightning struck, these water droplets formed a continuous conductive network in the void, dispersing the destructive thunderstorm into hundreds of thousands of tiny tempering currents.
This scene was transmitted through the virtual universe to the two holy sites, four organizations, sixteen families, and other major forces of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Before the storm of the realm within a realm swept through the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Lin Hao first stirred up ripples in the small pond of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in the universe.
"Three minutes. I need all the information on this adventurer!"
Similar dialogues have played out among countless factions, but unfortunately, they are destined to gain nothing.
