Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Compared to the navy, company members, and pirates, Hunters were much freer. They didn't need to be commanded by superiors.

Freedom was the creed of the Hunter!

Even if they joined a company, they retained the right to leave.

That said, if they passed the assessment, most Hunters, unless they died or were dismissed, would never want to leave the company they joined for the rest of their lives.

Moreover, the ultimate goal for the vast majority of Hunters was to join a big company.

Most Hunters who were once free would become the company's hunting dogs as they grew stronger.

In the Witch Sea, truly powerful Hunters who pursued freedom and worked solo were extremely rare.

Deep Sea Hunter was famous not only for his strength that surpassed legends but also because he was one of the few powerful beings who did not rely on any company.

A career very suitable for me... Chen Qi picked up a pen and filled in his information on the newspaper.

"First-tier chef, second-tier assassin, unique nature form is lamp..."

The resume was a problem... Chen Qi fell into thought.

The resumes required by the Hunter Association often consisted of tasks issued by the Hunter Association.

However, he had no experience as a First-order Hunter.

And the Black Hunter matters couldn't be revealed.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and wrote down his past experiences on Train No. 8 and the Dragon's Rest Place.

Tie Xiong took the paper and glanced over it.

"Not bad, a Shadow Phase assassin who even cleared a D-class crack alone, you have some skills. However, this would be notable before the Crack Tide, in the current era, your resume is quite ordinary and may not even get you onto the New World's ship.

You should know that an outstanding Hunter should be bigger, stronger, and faster than other Transcendents!"

Tie Xiong showed off his steel-like muscles.

Though he spoke agreeably, could you stop showing off your muscles... Chen Qi frowned.

With the advent of the Crack Tide, this place, which accepted wild Transcendents, gradually began to emphasize elitism.

After scanning Chen Qi's resume, Tie Xiong finally said:

"Brother, your resume is too thin. I recommend you start as a First-order Hunter. Currently, the competition for the Second-tier Hunter's certificate is very fierce!

Of course, the benefits are better too!!"

Tie Xiong went on to elaborate on some Hunter benefits and assessments.

First, once you obtained the Second-tier Hunter's certificate, you had the right to access information for free while also being able to purchase rare Transcendent items.

Not only that, but the Second-tier Hunter's certificate also gave you priority in hiring other Hunters.

With the rise in benefits, the assessment had also become more complex than before.

Simply put, there were three parts to the assessment. The first test was a basic quality test, namely fighting a specific monster.

The second test was actual combat, where you needed to defeat competitors to qualify for the next round of tests.

The third part was being assigned a task, and completing this task would officially earn you the Hunter's certificate.

Because of the Crack Tide, the number of Second Order Transcendents had multiplied, making the competition intensity more than ten times greater!

To filter out truly powerful Hunters, the assessment difficulty had increased fivefold!

Additionally, being a Hunter was a free profession that emphasized practical combat.

It was extremely common to die during the test.

Chen Qi was clear about the assessment process of the Hunter Association.

"No, I am much stronger than the average Second Order Transcendent. Also, I hope to complete the assessment within one day."

Tie Xiong rubbed his ears, thinking he had misheard.

"What? Within one day?"

"Yes, I have some matters to attend to, so the sooner, the better."

Though this kid looked simple, he sure was arrogant! Tie Xiong checked Chen Qi's resume again and laughed loudly.

"The faster you take the assessment, the quicker you die. If you want to complete it in one day, I can only arrange for you to face some killers."

The second part of the assessment was 'combat,' so many people requested to change opponents when facing strong adversaries.

Of course, in most cases, the Hunter Association refused these requests.

Unless someone was willing to challenge those renowned Transcendents themselves.

After finally confirming Chen Qi's resume and identity and finding nothing else to do, Tie Xiong led him to the open-air battle arena inside the Hunter Association.

At this moment, several Second Order Transcendents had already gathered in the open-air arena.

Tie Xiong said coldly:

"Many Transcendents lack the necessary common sense, blindly learning various breathing techniques, and blindly pursuing miraculous moves and releases, which eventually result in respiratory disorders and physical weakness!"

"Now, there are quite a few Second Order Transcendents who haven't mastered meditation and Body Forging Skill!"

Tie Xiong turned back, raised his arm, and displayed his sturdy biceps.

"Kid, though I don't expect you to master Qi Power Transformation, I hope you're not a Transcendent lacking common sense!"

With that, he walked to three jars and asked:

"Different adventurers have different roles in their teams. You are not here to be a logistics personnel, are you? For the first test: inspiration, strength, speed, choose one!"

The weakest monster... Without hesitation, Chen Qi said:

"Inspiration."

"Good!"

Tie Xiong violently opened the jar and applied a layer of protection to himself.

In an instant, a creature sliced through the air, roaring as it flew by.

Tie Xiong burst into laughter and began to explain:

"Notice, this monster can only be..."

Bang!

Chen Qi took out the saw meat knife from his waist and thrust it in front of Tie Xiong's face!

A transparent creature twitched continuously on the knife.

Transparent insects could only be observed with spiritual power, and were extremely hard to catch with the naked eye.
