In the end, the leader of the soldiers couldn’t hold it in and asked the question in his mind, “Hey, this bow of yours, what’s its draw weight?”

Zhang Che showed a faint smile and said, “Eight hundred kilograms.”

“Si…” Every one of them, including his teammates, sucked in a breath of cold air.

Eight hundred kilograms draw weight!

-Is this kid still human?!- They didn’t dare to believe this eighteen year old, weak-looking youngster could actually possess such inhuman strength.

“The world is truly vast; all kinds of weirdos exist. Alright, since you’re fine, we should get going. During the rest of the examination, you guys should be care… nevermind. With you here, surely there aren’t any exotic beasts within the hunting zone that are capable of threatening your safety,” the leader of the soldiers sighed, and left with his subordinates in a hurry.

——————

After the soldiers went some distance away, Zheng Hongru and the others immediately surrounded Zhang Che, chirping on excitedly. They were filled with confidence that they would get a good score on this examination.

Wasn’t that true? Four days from now, when Zhang Che could employ this dark golden beast card, their team’s strength would instantly more than double.

What’s more, this was a flying-type beast! Not only was it strong, it could also be used to scout the situation around them! They could immediately find out which direction had the most powerful exotic beasts!

Also, they could also avoid meeting other strong teams with this subdued beast’s observational ability. This way, there wouldn’t be any conflicts with other teams, and their efficiency would naturally go up.

“Brother Che, let’s quickly head deeper into the hunting zone. If we can overtake the others and go further into the hunting zone and kill the stronger exotic beasts, our team will be even stronger five days from now!” Xiao Yi suggested excitedly.

“Then what are you waiting for? Quickly pack up your things!” Zhang Che said, his lips curled up into a smile as he walked back towards his tent.

——

While they were busy packing their belongings, a huge flying beast flew in their direction at high speed from the side.

“Woah, Brother Che, another beast card came knocking at our door!” Zheng Hongru shouted excitedly, not afraid at all that the exotic beast could be an existence so strong they couldn’t dare to mess with.

With our god of archery Brother Che here, which exotic beast wasn’t just a freebie?

“Dummy, what do you mean by exotic beast? Can’t you see there’s people on its back?” Li Da said as he smacked the back of Zheng Hongru’s head, his eyes wide.

By then, everyone else had also noticed that there were two people riding on that rapidly approaching huge flying beast’s back.

One of them was the master of the little green bird who had displayed its godly might while they were journeying towards the hunting zone, the army general responsible for the students’ safety.

-Hmm? That flying beast from earlier actually caused such a huge commotion that even such big figures are drawn here?- Zhang Che was shocked, but he didn’t feel nervous at all.

Not only could Zheng Hongru and the others act as witnesses for that scene from earlier when he “killed” the purple flying beast, the soldiers who came to provide help had basically witnessed it as well.

Moreover, there were two more teams of examinees a few kilometers away from them who saw this. That purple flying beast came flying from “extremely far” away, and only swooped down after discovering them.

There wasn’t any problem with the script. The cast’s acting skills were on point, too. There weren’t any mistakes!

The huge flying beast descended. General Tang and the casually dressed middle-aged man jump off the beast’s back.

Zhang Che and the others didn’t dare to be careless and directly saluted, albeit not properly, “Greetings to General!”

General Tang burst out into laughter and waved his hand, “Don’t, don’t. You’re not my soldiers. What are you saluting for? We’re only here to understand the situation; we received a rescue signal from one of the rescue teams earlier. It should be around here. Do you know what happened?” He was only asking the obvious.

It didn’t have to be said that before they found Zhang Che’s group, General Tang and his companion had surely found the squad of soldiers from earlier and heard the story from them.

Zheng Hongru and the others looked towards Zhang Che. He was their team leader; naturally he should be the one to answer the two big shots’ questions.

“Ugh, reporting to general, it was like this…” Zhang Che took two steps forward and recounted the events from earlier respectfully, including the matter about the squad of soldiers coming to provide help to them.

General Tang stared at Zhang Che with a burning gaze all the way until he finished his story, and he nodded expressionlessly, saying, “Looks like your luck is really not bad. You’d be in some real danger otherwise.”

“Haha, luck is also a kind of strength. I heard General Tang’s luck was also extremely good back in the day,” the casually dressed middle-aged echoed in agreement, chuckling.

“Hah! That’s right; luck is also a kind of strength!” General Tang chuckled, and looked at Zhang Che in interest. He continued, “However, this boy Zhang Che is not only lucky. I have never seen this kind of strength on anyone before. I wonder if you can tell me about it? Forget it if it’s inconvenient. After all, this is your personal privacy.”

-You already asked. Do I have the choice to not answer it?- Zhang Che cursed inwardly. After a slight hesitation, he answered, “This… actually it’s not any secret. Previously when I was hunting exotic beast in the beast world, I discovered a spiritual flower that emitted a strange fragrance and consumed it. In the end, I realized my strength quickly increased.”

After a short pause, Zhang Che said, embarrassed, “Not only that, my appetite grew bigger from then on. I have to eat a lot before I’m full. Look, General, can you provide me with some extra supplies? Mine are almost finished from yesterday.”

General Tang and the casually dressed middle-aged man widened their eyes at the same time. -This kid actually came across such a fortuitous encounter? His luck is truly astonishing!-

However, they weren’t very surprised by the changes to Zhang Che’s physique. The beast world was boundless. What kind of strange plants and spiritual herbs weren’t available? It wasn’t so strange that Zhang Che ate a stalk of spiritual flower that granted him herculean strength and gave him a huge appetite.

“Sure. I’ll relay this to my subordinates later and get them to send you an extra large supply of food.” General Tang agreed to Zhang Che’s “unreasonable” request straightforwardly. After that, he waved to them and jumped back up onto the flying beast’s back along with the casually dress middle-aged man, flying off to the distance.

He had no choice but to agree to it; he couldn’t possibly watch as an examinee starved to death, could he?

After they flew far away, General Tang suddenly sighed and said to his companion, “Ai, looks like we have to renew our efforts in the hunting and driving away of flying-type exotic beasts around the perimeter. That kid from earlier was a monster to begin with, and now he gained another three-star dark gold-quality subdued beast. In the latter part of the competition, he is simply an unbalanced existence!”

The casually dressed man nodded thoughtfully, “That’s right. It wouldn’t matter if only one of such outlier appeared under our negligence. If a few more of them popped up, some people would start to criticize the examination.”
