Chapter 45 - Bloody Cage (1/2)

Am I being picked on?

The thought once again came afloat in Tang Ling’s head. The punch from the instructor, which was not even his best strike, perfectly struck his abdomen which shook his organs and made him bleed.

This level of injury in this era was nothing. Even the commoners in the settlement would be fine after half a day of rest.

Tang Ling, who had been through all sorts of killing and hunting, would not be concerned either, but it coincidentally happened before the exam. He glanced over at the instructor’s unfamiliar face while pushing the thought deep down in his heart.

The endless inhuman roars coupled with the depressing atmosphere made the teenagers taking the exam look a little sour.

In the end, someone who stood out after some hesitation.

No one wanted to risk their lives for an exam. Even if they could not get into First Reserved Camp, the other training camp might still be a way out for them.

With the first one taking the lead, the others followed as a matter of course. Less than two minutes later, there were seven teenagers who wished to drop out of the reexamination.

“Are there any more?” The instructor seemed to have expected this early on. With a sneer, he asked again, but no one stepped out anymore.

“Look at this. Garbage can never be good. However, staying away for self-protection isn’t the stupidest decision either. At least, knowing your limits is a good thing.” The merciless words were like a knife, but when said to those who stepped down because of fear, even harsher words would not sound wrong.

The instructor’s foul interest would never simply let go of the teenagers who decided to step down, but at the end of his lecture, his eyes seemed to unintentionally brush over Tang Ling.

Nonetheless, Tang Ling turned a blind eye to him.

Knowing one’s limit? Every single day he lived in the settlement was without food and being on the verge of death. There was no such thing as stepping down for self-protection.

“Scram! You people have no right to be here.” Probably already bored, the instructor simply sent away those who decided to step down.

He then swung his hand. The warrior guarding next to the cages put the first sealed cage into the bigger iron cage and released the first wild beast, an iron-toothed wolf with a silver tail.

As a brutal and cold killer, albeit not being known for its strength, its agility and cunning wit would drive even the most formidable hunter away.

Even when it was not hungry, it would kill weaker animals within its sight as a sport. The iron-toothed wolves were the primary targets that Purple Moon Warriors expelled during their patrols.

Therefore, the wolves were rarely seen in the thick forest of the Secondary Safety Zone. Whenever one had to face such a wild beast, other than fighting it to death, there was no other way.

Alas, they were now encountering one in the giant iron cage with nowhere to run!

The teenagers who stayed behind for the examination started to breathe fiercely and uncontrollably. While hey knew they would be facing a wild beast, they did not expect it to be such a dangerous one.

The instructor glanced indifferently at the silver-tailed iron-toothed wolf. He clicked his tongue loudly and said in extreme disbelief, “Yo, let me see who’s lucky enough to start with this weak one.”

Weak? Several of them gulped in fear. Was he kidding?
