To the extraordinary ability users, Ling Tian's tricks were mere parlor tricks. Even the ordinary adventurers didn't pay Ling Tian much mind. They were even contemplating whether they could give Ling Tian a good thrashing, which would surely make a name for themselves.
However, now, everyone had abandoned this dangerous and foolish notion. The reason was simple: Ling Tian was too brutal!
Consider the heavy meteor hammer. Ordinary people couldn't even lift it, and swinging it around once could dislocate an arm.
Yet, Ling Tian, using this meteor hammer, in the simplest and most brutal way, had bludgeoned an alligator to death. What else could he be but a devil!
Before A'ta Sileim could speak, Aurora stepped forward.
"Alright, it's my turn now. Let's not waste time; time is precious..."
Following this, Aurora turned to Ling Tian and said, "Darling, could you do me a favor and lure some crocodiles over? Lure quite a few, so we don't have to exert ourselves later!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of everyone around shattered. Aurora, though aloof, was also a dangerous woman. But humans were emotional beings. For such a top-tier beauty, it was impossible for the males not to harbor some feelings.
Initially, they thought Ling Tian was merely Aurora's bodyguard. But hearing Aurora utter those three words, they realized their relationship was far from platonic!
Especially the way Aurora looked at Ling Tian just moments before, the smile that bloomed on her face was like a glacier that had been frozen for ten thousand years suddenly melting.
"Of course, darling, as you wish!"
Ling Tian didn't seem to mind. The two of them were openly affectionate, and then Ling Tian walked towards the pickup truck, directly lifting two plump lambs from it.
The two lambs struggled desperately, but they were bound by ropes around their waists, held by Ling Tian's vice-like hands. The lambs couldn't break free at all!
Ling Tian carried the lambs to the riverbank, using one leg as an axis, and began to spin. Then, with a powerful thrust, he flung the two fat lambs away.
The two fat lambs flew through the air at high speed, then landed in the water with two splashes.
The next moment, the surrounding river water seemed to boil. Over a dozen crocodiles, large and small, instantly lunged towards the two fat lambs, and the scene became incredibly brutal and chaotic.
Ling Tian bent down and made an inviting gesture.
Aurora smiled and walked to the riverbank. Then, Aurora extended her hands and formed a hand seal.
The next moment, everyone saw a football-sized blue orb of light emerge from Aurora's hands. The orb was a deep azure, with blue light flowing across its surface, making it remarkably beautiful.
However, in nature, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it often is.
In an instant, the orb shot out and struck the churning surface of the water.
The next moment, the orb exploded in the water, and a beam of blue light spread out in all directions. Soon, centered on the point where the blue orb landed, the blue light extended over thirty meters outwards.
A few seconds later, the previously churning river water suddenly became still. Everyone saw a thin layer of ice appear on the water's surface, and the crocodiles, after struggling for a moment within the ice, became motionless.
After another few dozen seconds, everyone was astonished to find that all the water within a thirty-meter radius of where the orb had landed had frozen over. The dozens of crocodiles of various sizes in the water had been frozen into the ice, becoming motionless ice sculptures.
Aurora turned around, her waist swaying gracefully, and walked directly to A'ta Sileim.
"Mr. Sileim, there are dozens of crocodiles here, certainly more than five meters long. If you're not reassured, you can wait a few hours for the ice to melt, and then drag them out one by one to measure them...
Do you think I have passed the assessment?"
"Of course, of course. I will immediately find someone to process your paperwork, including Miss Kate and Mr. Lin. All of you have passed the assessment..."
A'ta Sileim was no fool. He had originally intended to create obstacles for Ling Tian and the others, deliberately increasing the difficulty of their assessment. Unexpectedly, he was taught a lesson by Ling Tian and his companions.
Sileim knew very well that none of these three individuals, whether it was Ling Tian, Aurora, or even that delicate young girl, were people he could easily provoke. Even on his home turf, in the swamp, he would have no advantage fighting them!
Therefore, A'ta Sileim no longer paid attention to the remaining assessments. He handed those matters over to his subordinates and respectfully invited Ling Tian and the other two back to the building where the camp was located.
The three of them were invited to the second floor, which was the VIP lounge. Everywhere, the strong always had privileges, and Ling Tian and the others were now enjoying such treatment.
Before long, a staff member respectfully brought three cards and handed them to Ling Tian and the others.
Ling Tian took the card and saw that it was made of a very special material. It felt heavy in his hand, yet it didn't seem like metal, but its strength was much tougher than ordinary plastic.
The card was credit card sized. On the back of the card was the emblem of the Demon Hunter Guild, and on the front, there was also an emblem – the emblem of A'ta Sileim's camp. Seeing this emblem indicated where these demon hunters were registered.
The front of the card had only a name, and not even a photo. A'ta Sileim's explanation for this was that each of these demon hunters possessed extraordinary strength, and ordinary rules could not restrain them.
For these powerful ability users, changing their appearance was as simple as drinking water or eating a meal, so having or not having a photo on this identification card was meaningless.
Next, Ling Tian and the other two were ushered into separate small rooms. In each room, there was a machine with a simple operating panel consisting of only a keyboard and a screen.
They were asked to input a password of more than ten digits.
A'ta Sileim explained to Ling Tian and the others that this password was very important. In fact, this password was the best anti-counterfeiting measure. If someone else obtained another person's card without this password, they could neither impersonate that person nor use the points earned from missions to redeem prizes.
Afterward, A'ta Sileim invited Ling Tian and the three of them into a reception room and personally explained the various rules of the Demon Hunter Guild to them.
Now that they were official members of the Demon Hunter Guild, they could accept missions. Upon completing missions, they would receive a special currency issued by the Demon Hunter Guild, which was called Crystal Yuan.
