Chapter 37: Duel with Karl

  Yang Feng and Dongfang Xue, as well as Jingang, successfully defeated their respective opponents. Now they only need to pass the instructor's test to obtain the formal membership of the Hei Bao Mercenary Corps. The other six people who participated in the graduation exam also ended their battles, with four of them defeating their opponents and two failing, ultimately leaving in disappointment.

  In the end, out of thousands who took the exam, only seven were left. This was the cruelty of the Black Ice Mercenary Corps, but no one said anything because when they chose this path, they had already sealed their fate! Becoming a formal member of the Black Ice Mercenary Corps could bring unimaginable wealth and enormous power beyond your wildest dreams, but these things required sacrifice, relying on oneself to fight for them. If you wanted to obtain these things, you would have to stake your life on it; otherwise, you wouldn't get anything!

  When all the battles were over, a team of people walked out of the training camp and cleared away those who had died in the examination grounds. The entire grounds were empty except for a faint smell of blood. Then the instructors from the training camp came out, and Yang Feng saw that Karl, who had once instructed him, was among them. He was walking at the front, with several other instructors following behind him. No matter how Yang Feng looked at it, he felt that Karl's identity was not simple, and those instructors following behind him seemed to be his entourage!

  Karl came with several instructors to the front of Yang Feng and others, he first looked around the field, as if looking for something, when he saw Yang Feng's figure, he showed a faint smile, then walked towards Yang Feng.

  "Ah, Number One, you didn't disappoint me again! I've met you here once more! Hmm? Aren't these two also the ones I brought along? Not bad, three out of seven people are those I brought, great!" Karl said to Yang Feng first, then looked at Dongfang Xue and Jīn Gāng and continued.

  "Alright, you're all excellent. From now on, you are all official members of our Black Ice Mercenary Group. You will receive wealth beyond your wildest dreams, so cheer!" Karl said to the remaining seven people.

  Everyone except Yang Feng cheered loudly, including Dongfang Xue, although not as loudly as Jingang, but with a smile on her face. However, Yang Feng was thinking why they didn't have to fight anymore, wasn't it said that they still had to compete with the instructors once more to pass the exam?!

  "Except for you, Yang Feng, the rest of you six can go and complete the procedures to join our Black Ice Mercenary Corps!" Karl waved his hand and let the several instructors behind him take away Dongfang Xue, Jingga and the other four people. As they left, Jingga and Dongfang Xue kept looking back at Yang Feng with worried expressions on their faces, but those instructors didn't care about that and took them away directly. Yang Feng just nodded to the two of them, indicating that they shouldn't worry, and then looked at Karl, wanting to know why he was left behind.

  "Heh heh, Number One, do you want to know why I'm keeping you? I won't beat around the bush with you, I'll just tell you straight out. I appreciate you, so I'm going to cultivate you into my own person!" Karl said to Yang Feng.

  "Oh? ! Instructor Carl, what do you mean by this? ! I don't quite understand!" Yang Feng said to Carl, although Yang Feng knew that Carl's identity was definitely extraordinary, he spoke very appreciatively of himself and wanted to turn himself into him, it was clear that he just wanted to win him over!

  "Heh heh, Number One, let's not talk about this for now. Once you become my man, you'll naturally understand what I mean. For now, I want to test whether you have the qualifications to be my subordinate!" Karl said to Yang Feng.

  "How is Instructor Karl going to test me?! Is he going to have a match with me?!" Yang Feng said to Karl.

  "It's just as you said, alright, let's cut the nonsense. Come on, Number One, let me see your strength!" Karl said to Yang Feng, and then charged towards him.

  Yang Feng saw Karl rush over and also rushed up, the two people just fought together like this. Yang Feng is now using the hand-to-hand combat skills taught in the training camp, and Karl is the same, also using the most common hand-to-hand combat skills. Both of them are trying to test each other's strength, so they won't show their own strength all at once.

  However, what surprised Yang Feng was that Karl's physical strength was too great. Although it was just ordinary hand-to-hand combat skills, under the support of his powerful strength, it was also extremely powerful. Every time he was hit by Karl, he felt like being hammered by an iron hammer. Fortunately, the Qiankun Da Nuo Yi true energy in his body transferred a large part of the force away, otherwise Yang Feng might have been injured!

  "Alright, Number One, you're indeed not bad. You withstood my numerous attacks and didn't falter at all. However, I didn't even use a tenth of my power earlier. Now that I'm going to increase my strength, you'd better be careful!" Karl said to Yang Feng during the brief pause in their duel.

  Yang Feng was secretly shocked by Carl's words, and he didn't expect that Carl's enormous power was less than one-tenth of his own. Then, if he were to exert all his strength, what kind of power would it be?! Yang Feng simply didn't dare to imagine! However, Carl had already launched an attack, leaving Yang Feng no time to think further.

  Karl said he was going to increase his strength, but Yang Feng saw that Karl's speed had also increased. A shadowy figure appeared before him, and before he could even react, Yang Feng felt himself being knocked flying, and at this moment, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

  Yang Feng flew backward for a long distance before falling to the ground, Carl's attack had already injured him! After Yang Feng got up from the ground, he saw that Carl was standing right in front of him, with no intention of continuing his attack.

  "Hehe, Number One, don't hide your strength anymore. If you continue to hide it, I might just beat you to death!" Karl said with his hands crossed over his chest, looking at Yang Feng.

  Yang Feng glanced at Carl, then reached down to his waist and unfastened the gravity belt. As he removed the gravity, the number on the belt read 10, indicating that Yang Feng could now withstand ten times the normal gravity. After putting the gravity belt back on the ground, Yang Feng stretched out his body, adapting to the physical state after removing the gravity, and then made preparations for battle again.

  Just now, Karl's blow was indeed injured by Yang Feng, but it wasn't very serious. The true energy of the Great Migration automatically offset a large part of that powerful force, but because Karl's blow was too powerful, Yang Feng would be beaten to spit blood.

  "Haha, Number One, I didn't think you could withstand ten times the gravity! I was right not to underestimate you, you're the fastest progressing person I've ever seen! Come on, let me see your true strength!" Karl said to Yang Feng.

  Yang Feng took the initiative to attack, and his Spiral Nine Shadows Light Skill was displayed. Similarly, only a shadow could be seen passing by, and then Yang Feng's fist hit Karl's body. However, what surprised Yang Feng was that he didn't feel like he had hit a solid object, but rather felt like he had hit air. The scene that followed also proved his thoughts, as Karl's body slowly dissipated into nothingness, turning out to be just an illusory shadow clone!

  Yang Feng did not expect that Carl's speed could also create an afterimage to the point of creating a clone. Just as he was surprised, he suddenly felt a very slight sound of breaking through the air behind him, and a dangerous aura spread out. Yang Feng quickly twisted his body, leaving a clone in place, while he himself had already moved tens of meters away!

  Just as Yang Feng appeared tens of meters away, he saw that his own avatar was hit by a shadow and shattered. The shadow turned out to be Carl!

  "Haha, not bad, Number One, you really didn't disappoint me. You can even transform into a clone! However, this is still not enough. I need more powerful subordinates. You'd better show off all your strength. Don't worry, I've already sealed off this place. No one will see our trial!" Karl laughed loudly at Yang Feng, seemingly very satisfied with the power Yang Feng had displayed!

  Yang Feng heard Karl's words and knew that if he didn't bring out some real skills today, Karl wouldn't give up. So, he stopped hiding and simultaneously activated the three true energies in his body, preparing to face off against Karl who was charging over!
