Inside the building, they were no stairs and the mid-area were hollowed out with special air energy. This area was a place where people can move up and down the floors without the stairs. The air current inside the array moves according to each person’s will to ascend or descend. On the right side of the building is the registration area. Very few people were there while on the left side were places to inspect and collect the rewards.

“Hi boys, you want to register as a bounty hunter, assassin, or a bodyguard?” an alluring lady asked. She had the pinkest lips, auburn hair, firm bosoms, and wore glasses. Ma Qian was already captivated and the young lady knew that and winked at him for fun.

“Hello, we’d like to know on how to register as a bounty hunter. Are there any fees and requirements involved?” Ye Tian asked politely.

“There are no fees, but we do need to you to sign a contract. Besides that, you’ve already fulfilled the prerequisites of having a minimal of the great dao realm cultivation.” the alluring lady said with a flirtatious look to Ye Tian. Ye Tian blushed a bit while Ma Qian rolled his eyes. This kid is still a virgin and you’re a cougar! The young lady was exceptionally pretty and looked rebellious, and was actually quite talkative.

“Alright where do I sign the contract? Also….can we become two professionals at once, like being a bounty hunter and an assassin?” Ye Tian asked but near the end, his voice almost sounded like a whisper.

The alluring lady was shocked, but scanned Ye Tian’s cultivation and felt even more shocked.

“The minimal cultivation to become an assassin is to be at least in the supreme dao realm. You’re qualified to become an assassin but are you sure you want to become one. The pay is higher but it’s also much more dangerous,” the young lady warned.

“Miss, I understand. I will not pick out any assassin mission right away. It’s just for future purpose in case I decide to do one” Ye Tian replied.

“Alright, it’s none of my business any way. Hey! Are you going to sign this bounty hunter contract or not?” the young lady stared at Ma Qian. Once Ma Qian heard Ye Tian was a supreme dao cultivator and wanted to become an assassin, he was shocked and speechless. Throughout this whole time, he didn’t even make a move and swallowed his saliva. But Ma Qian came to his senses, and also said, “I also want to register for the assassin program.”

“Hmmppphh, damn kid! You’re too weak,” the young lady quickly rejected. After all she was able to scan the cultivation of Ye Tian and Ma Qian’s. That also means her cultivation is also quite high. Ma Qian felt disgusted. He knew he was pretty damn strong for his age. It’s just Ye Tian is a bit of a monster.

“By the way, my name is Wang Rong. I will officially become your representative and helper when you missions arrived. Also before you do any missions, we need to test each person on combat ability, intelligence, and resilience. Each of you will be given a rank as a bounty hunter or an assassin. The highest rank is SS, after that is the S rank, A rank, B rank, and C rank being the lowest. Your rank will not be announced publicly, but sometimes the guild will offer you special missions if you rank high,” Wang Rong explained.

After Ye Tian and Ma Qian signed the contracts, they left to the testing ground led by Wang Rong. They arrived at the mid-area where they were carried by the air current to the underground level. The underground floor had multiple gates with different color symbols.

“Alright, the green symbol is for the bounty hunter exam, little child you can enter, ” Wang Rong smiled to Ma Qian. Ma Qian was pissed but he knew he couldn’t do anything to her. For the first time, Ma Qian’s heart was irritated. He didn’t know what this feeling was, but he was set on one goal – to lay in the same bed as Wang Rong!

“As for you Ye Tian, you need to enter the gate of the black symbol. Your bounty hunter and assassin test will be tested simultaneously within the exam. Both of you listen up, when you enter you will be transported to another small world. You need to stay for 4 hours. What you do, how you do it, where you do it, when you do it, it doesn’t matter. Your performance will be evaluated by the judges monitoring your exam. Now go!” Wang Rong warned.

Both entered their respective gates. Ma Qian landed in an unfamiliar world. He looks at his surroundings and sees a city. Suddenly a  little windows pops up in front of him with the words, “Catch the serial rapist.” Ma Qian concludes that this must be the mission, but there’s no picture or other info provided.

Ma Qian frowned, and said, “Fuck, I’m gonna get lost again and I won’t be able to pass this test.”

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Suddenly, he hears a voice of a woman yelling. Ma Qian unleashes his vines. If the vine can still hear the voice, the vine can find out the location through the underground networks of other vines.

“Found her!” Ma Qian happily said. This was a lucky opportunity given his lack of sense of direction.

Ma Qian jumps forward while the vines erupt in places where he landed. The vines push Ma Qian’s feet like a spring trampoline giving him an extra boost in covering the distance within a short period of time. As he jumps from one place to another, he can finally see another of his vine within a distance pointing at one direction

Ma Qian smiles and quickly arrives at the scene. It’s a small abandoned mine. The perfect place for predators to commit a crime with no one near the scene. Ma Qian checks the ground again by communicating with his vines. He dashes inside the mining cave and within several breaths he can see a woman in disarray laying on the ground while another man taking his robe off. Ma Qian quickly uses his vines to attack the man but a shield array blocks the vines from entering. The man hears the impact of the sound and says, “Who’s there?”

“Your Mom, bitch!” Ma Qian yelled.

“Hahaha, screw off kid! Or do you want to see what I would do to her?,” the man laughed.

Ma Qian uses another vine attack, but this time it’s one of his most powerful attack. The vines form a spear-like shape and attacks as it twists continually. The shield array shakes far bigger this time from the impact, but is still withholding the vine attack.

“Kid, this spell I’ve set up can only be broken by a supreme dao cultivator. You can’t break it,” the man laughed again.

Ma Qian smirks, and said, “I won’t be able to attack directly, but there is another way.” Ma Qian palms the ground while Ma Qian’s robes and hair flutter from the impact.

Rumble , rumbke, crackkk, twirppp!

Ma Qian’s vines erupt from the ground and ties up the man’s feet, then the hands.

“Release the spell, and I’ll let you live” Ma Qian said firmly.

The man is tied up, but he closes his eyes for a moment before opening again and stares directly at Ma Qian. Ma Qian is also staring at the man, but for whatever reason, he sees his vines retreating. A few breaths later, the vines erupt from the ground again, but now the vines are tying up Ma Qian’s feet and hands. The man is smiling devilishly and whispers again. Another vine climbs and twirls Ma Qian’s neck and gripping it tighter and tighter.

Ma Qian panics. His vines martial dao are among the rarest martial dao and has to have extreme affinity with mother earth. What are the chances that he meets another cultivator who can use vines as well? Ma Qian is still struggling, but the vines starts becoming transparent!

“Transparent…why?”Ma Qian tried to work his brain as fast as possible.He finally figured it out. Although he was tied up, he didn’t feel pain but rather the thought of suffocation.

Ma Qian yells out a martial technique that shocks his internal body and mind in a heartbeat. This technique allows Ma Qian to regain his senses.

He sees the vines that are tying him up disappear bit by bit. Instead, he still sees the vines tying up the man with a bloody head. He then sees the woman behind the man is holding a rock. Ma Qian figured out that the woman threw the rock at the man’s head, which disrupted the man’s hallucination spell. Ma Qian felt embarrassed that it was the woman that ended up saving him instead!

Ma Qian waves his hand like a chopping motion. One of his vines quickly rises and forms a small blade.

Whippp! “Aaaargghhhhhh,” the man yelled.

The blade actually chopped of the man’s penis. The woman yelled as well and fainted right away after witnessing this horrible scene.

Suddenly the scene around him started twisting, and Ma Qian got sucked back into an array. By the time he opened his eyes, he was back at the guild’s underground place. Then, a book flew in front of him and turned to the first page. The page magically wrote “Ma Qian, Bounty Hunter – Rank S.”

Ma Qian was ecstatic. He was hoping for an A rank, but when he was inside the different world, he felt his hope was shattered by trying to find the rapist with his lack of sense of direction. Wang Rong was not a bit surprised. Somehow, she expected this rank. After all, Ma Qian was already at the mid-stage of the great realm almost near the peak realm. Very few people his age was able to achieve this. Only the talented individual or noble figures with powerful backgrounds that can provide an abundant of resources to support the person can achieve such level.

Wang Rong then stared at the judges, and said, “Are you sure?”

The judges nodded. Before they made their evaluation of Ma Qian, they were talking to each other about the circumstance.

“His vines martial dao are extremely rare, and has exceptional offense and defense,” One judge said.

“He uses it well. His sense of direction must be very keen as well. He was able to find the rapist in a short period of time,” another judge said.

“Even though he struggles a bit against the hallucination, he still overcame it. He’s also resourceful in using unorthodox techniques in his battles,” the last judge said.

Ma Qian was happy….and lucky! Nevertheless, he stared at Wang Rong. She sensed the meaning of the stare, “Babe, you’re missing out on this precious gem! I can satisfy your thirst and you better believe it!”  Wang Rong snorted and ignored Ma Qian, then looked at the gate where Ye Tian entered. Ma Qian wasn’t offended, after all, he’s a handsome young man with much more sexual experience after living at the brothel his whole life. Flirting takes some time and investment.

Can Ye Tian pass the exam?
