Today, Gu Shenas going to take his first monthly test in the Pyrowork Acade, but now it stopped and the sky cleared up It was cool and breezy

Not wanting to affect his apprentice’s , so he did not drink any liquor at breakfast As they walked out of their small yard, he took a deep breath of the fresh air and said to his apprentice, “It’s such a nice day for killing The smell of blood will soon fade and drift away in the wind Co the the way for his apprentice Today, Gu Shenas dressed in black from head to toe and covered his face with a black cloth This was the standard outfit for all the killer apprentices ent to take the monthly tests Golden Roc Fort made this rule to protect the apprentices’ identities According to the fort’s tradition, a real professional killer should rehout his life

It was not easy for the killers to adhere strictly to that tradition When they were young, they could still e and becaing about their achieve was such a semi-retired killer In the past ten days, he had told Gu Shenweito hiobi desert

Boastful as he was, he would never reveal who he had killed, as this was one of the key principles of Golden Roc Fort Even though noidely known as a gang of ruthless killers, its current leader, the seventh Supre business was a secret of the fort, as all his predecessors had done

After entering the Pyrowork Acadereeted every yellow-belt and killer rin on his red face, as if he had co party

Just like him, most of the killer mentors here had just passed their prime time They were over forty or even fifty, and by courtesy of theirinstead of killing

Besides Tie Hanfeng, there were seven or eight killer h alert and behaved in a highly professional manner They dispersed in the yard and remained silent al eyes and habitually placed one hand on the handle of his saber No one allowed even his own apprentices to stand within three steps fro was the only exception He left his apprentice behind and chatted excitedly with all his friends here and there Surprisingly, unlike the yellow-belts who reacted coolly toward hi with him and even per had only one apprentice, everyone ih he wore the all-black outfit

A yellow-belt came to him and said, “Alas, Slave Huan, what a pity! You’re such a useful slave boy I hope you can carry yourself to Reincarnation Cliff” With these words, the uffawed loudly

Since Gu Shenwei had to co corpses every three days, he was very faether with hiets killed today, I’ll carry him to Reincarnation Cliff”

He knew his words were a little bit muffled by his black cloth mask, but he was still surprised by the yellow-belt’s reaction Thathis head, as if he hadn’t heard what Slave Huan had just said After ato himself repeatedly, “It’s such a pity”

Apparently, he firmly believed that Slave Huan would die today, which struck him as odd The monthly tests were brutal, but et injured and only very few killer apprentices would be killed on the spot Gu Shenwei began to wonder why the yellow-belt was so certain about it

Tie Hanfeng li happy He waved to a thin killer mentor, who stood far away from them, and then turned around to whisper beside his apprentice’s ear, “Did you offend someone in the fort?”

“No” Gu Shenwei lied to his mentor without any hesitation He had offended quite a lot of people in the fort and some of them did want to kill him

“Your opponent today is determined to kill you”

“So a the truth He even started to doubt that histhat He thought it was such an unnecessaryThe scars on his body could prove it

“Huh, you little bastard What a bold apprentice you are! You dare to cheat your mentor Look, that son of a btch over there is your opponent today His ht you since he had soht was between you guys and no one would interfere”

Gu Shenwei looked at the boy his ht and sturdily built, standing more than three steps away froh the boy was in a black outfit now, Gu Shenas still sure that he had never offended any killer apprentice like him He had stayed in the Carvewood Acadeotten many chances to meet anyone at all there

“No rabbed his saber handle tightly to focus hiuilty or nervous about his decision to kill a stranger

“Fck the personal grudges I haven’t heard this phrase for years Well, go to kill hie with hi sneered and said

A yellow-belt waved his hand to Gu Shenwei, su hined to him and walked into the test room It was shaped like a narrow lane, which could only alloo people to walk side by side and was di The stocky boy was already inside the roo about 10 steps away fro the two apprentices inside

Both of the spirit now As they had no place to hide inside this “lane”, they started to walk toward each other step by step For a rudge he had against hiuessed that the boyintent No matter what, he had already decided to kill this boy
