Hanfeng and Ryan did not fall asleep all night. They were excited to discuss the question of what would happen to tomorrow's test, what professions would become in the future, what would you do when you have the ability, and where to explore together in the future. It was not until dawn that the two of them sniffed for a while.

When Hughes came to find the two, they hurriedly jumped out of bed, ate a few meat buns in a hurry, and rushed to the martial arts venue to gather.

When the two arrived at the martial arts venue, nearly two hundred children were already on the martial arts venue. The whole martial arts venue seemed a little chaotic and very noisy, like a vegetable market, with crying and scolding, which are the main themes of the martial arts venue at this time.

Only a small number of these children are descendants of retired mercenaries, but this small number of people have no problem with loyalty. The remaining children are selected in slums with good qualifications. These children are basically ragged and pale and thin.

There were also many adults in simple clothes present. It was the parents of these children. The parents of these children signed a thirty-year contract with the mercenary group. They could not meet their families before they met the standards of the mercenary group to avoid affecting their practice. If the child escaped during training, the mercenary group could execute the employed party according to the contract and hold their family accountable. However, this situation is rare. Generally, slum children cherish the opportunity to make themselves stronger.

In the corner of the martial arts field, there was an old man in a wheelchair. The old man had lost his legs and two fingers of his hands were missing. It was hard to imagine what the old man had experienced to become like this. Time left an indelible mark on the old man's face, his face was full of wrinkles, his temples were already white, and he was over fifty years old, but the old man's eyes were still sharp like an eagle and falcon, and his eyes were full of indomitableness.

Sitting there was like a reef in the sea, no matter how the waves washed, it still stood firm. A tall and thin boy standing next to the old man stood a little introverted.

The boy's dark purple hair fluttered in the wind, his bangs swept in front of him, his delicate facial features were brilliant, his straight nose bridge, his stubborn eyebrows were tightly frowned, and his black eyes were filled with a hint of sadness.

The young man did not cry or make a fuss, nor did he speak, but stood quietly beside the old man.

"Sila, Grandpa can only accompany you here. The road ahead will depend on you to slowly walk on yourself. You know your grandpa's injury and you can't last long. You must remember what Grandpa told you now, and don't forget. The purpose of Grandpa sending you to the mercenary group is to allow you to undergo training between life and death. People who are always in crisis are the fastest growing people.

With your talent, just give your grandpa twenty years, and you guarantee that you can become one of the top experts in the mainland. Oh... But God doesn't give us much time... Be low-key in the mercenary group, pay attention to hiding your strength, don't show your strength, be careful to be strangled in the cradle, you are still too weak now.

Another purpose of grandpa sending you to the mercenary group is to find some partners who can feel at ease to let you hand over your back to him, as long as he has the strength, talent and character to protect your back, but remember to leave a way out for yourself no matter what." The old man reminded the young man to pay attention to in the mercenary group. The young Sheila just looked at the old man intently, as if she wanted to deeply engrave the old man's appearance in her mind.

"Shila, do you still remember when you were a child, Grandpa took you to live in that cave in the small valley of the Sunset Mountains?" The old man nodded when he saw the young man and continued, "Grandpa left you some things that only you can open in the cave in the Sunset Mountains. After you reach a high-level warrior, if you feel that your strength is enough, then you can take your partner there to take those things away.

After you look at it, you will know whose son and grandson you are. If you have the strength and chance, you can help grandpa and your parents to avenge them. Grandpa sealed some of your memories. When your strength reaches your level, it will naturally recover. If you know too early, you will be discovered." The old man thought for a while and continued to add.

"And there is also the cold poison in your body, ah... this grandpa has tried his best. Grandpa taught you the fighting spirit, you must practice it well, it can effectively curb the cold poison in your body.

The cold poison in your body is not something that ordinary drugs can cure. You only have more than ten years. Find an epic-level ice-type beast and obtain its inner elixir to refine the cold poison in your body and make it another source of power in your body. Otherwise, you will suffer from the cold poison every night on a full moon.

When grandpa waits for his life, he will end his life in advance and use the secret method to condense the Dou Qi in his body into a crystal core, so you can keep it well.

Every time you have a cold poison attack, you hold it in your mouth, your pain will be relieved, and you will also collect more rare treasures from the fire-type light system, which are things that can prosper your life." The old man took out a piece of yellow paper and a letter from his arms and handed it to Sheila.

"If you really have no way out, or you are tired of such a life, you can choose to be an ordinary person. At that time, you go to the adventurer organization to paste this piece of paper on the task panel and someone comes back to see you. If you hand this letter to him, your second half of your life will definitely be very comfortable." After saying that, the old man stretched out his wrinkled hands and his eyes became extremely gentle.

"Child, finally, let grandpa take a good look at you. You must be careful in the future. Grandpa is sorry for you!"

Sheila hurriedly knelt in front of the old man, with red eyes, shook her head, and was about to say something.

The old man had already lowered his hands, his body suddenly swelled, his face turned strangely flushed, his appearance became much younger, and then began to shrink again, becoming thinner and older than before, with hair that had been frosty on his temples instantly turning silver threads.

The whole person had lost his vitality, and finally he turned into a pile of dust and slowly was blown away by the wind. There seemed to be a hint of resentful sigh from the wind, drifting further and further away.

Sheila opened her blood-filled eyes, bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head, and crystal tears slowly slid down from Sheila's face.

Xira stretched out her trembling hand, took out a crystal core of irregular size from the dust turned into by the old man, stood up silently, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and took a deep breath and stepped into the crowd.

After the deputy commander and elders counted the number of people, they took the lead to the "Magic Source" of the Spellcaster Association for testing for more than 200 years with excitement. As the children left, the children's parents also ended one after another. The martial arts field returned to its previous empty space, leaving only a wheelchair in the corner standing quietly.

In a distant secret room, an extremely cold voice suddenly came out, "Another informed fire of life has been extinguished. And it was the legendary double-sword ranger who slipped away back then. Now there are only seven handfuls of the life fire of those who know it." Seven flames of various colors floated quietly in the surrounding air, and in the hollow darkness, it was very terrifying.

"Haha, another one has passed. It's only been so many years. Life is really fragile. Intensify the efforts to investigate the insiders. I don't want more and more insiders. The fire of life that originally only had four handfuls is still increasing now!" A majestic voice came from the darkness of nothingness.

"yes!"
