Chapter 149: City Ma Lasong! Examiner Kubi! (1/2, Please Subscribe)

Time passed drop by drop,

and the number of people on the field gradually increased.

After all, this was only the first round, they wouldn't make it too harsh, so quite a few people could still make it.

As the final moment arrived, the stone gate at the entrance also slammed shut, marking the end of the first round of the exam.

Everyone's gaze shifted from the stone gate and finally landed on the examiner for the second round.

Kubi's appearance features were quite distinct.

His build was relatively slender, but belonged to that kind of fitness beauty from long-term exercise, wearing a formal Ma Lasong outfit.

At the same time, his legs were exceptionally thick and bulky and heavy, a size larger than his arms, making his proportions seem a bit strange.

He paid special attention to leg training, was very good at running, and his overall look had a leopard-like feel.

Kubi pondered for a moment and said, "The first round of the exam is officially over; next, I will conduct the second round!"

"Up until now, there are one hundred and ninety-nine candidates in total."

After confirming the number, Kubi faced the candidates, pointed behind himself, and said:

"Believe me, I don't need to say much; you should be able to guess the content of this exam."

"The second round of the exam is called 【City Ma Lasong】, and the location is this world's famous Ma Lasong venue."

"There are many Ma Lasong tracks in Carter Port, and their lengths are astonishing, so this exam does not require running from start to finish."

"What you need to do is try your best to follow behind me and run to the finish line."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kubi turned around and started jogging forward; in the blink of an eye, he had run more than ten meters away.

The candidates dared not slack off and hurriedly followed Kubi.

Nearly two hundred people, a dense mass, trailed behind Kubi.

At first, the candidates felt it was relatively easy; after all, it was just jogging forward, much easier than the maze just now.

But this ease soon disappeared.

A few minutes later, Kubi glanced back, quickened his steps slightly, and his speed suddenly surged.

His movements were also very special; it was not normal running, but advancing almost by leaping.

Every step he took could leap a long distance; his feet were as if equipped with springs, possessing extremely strong jumping power.

In a few breaths, Kubi once again widened the distance from the candidates, forcing everyone to increase their speed again.

Now it was not so easy.

To keep up with Kubi, they had to maintain full-speed running at all times, otherwise there was a risk of falling behind.

But what they didn't know was that the real test was still ahead.

Dongba dragged his bulky and heavy body, displaying agility inconsistent with his size, and advanced mixed within the crowd.

Suddenly, a warning bell rang loudly in his heart; he had a bad premonition, so he instinctively ran to the side.

Boom!

A few seconds later, a trap suddenly popped up beside him: a square platform with a huge spring underneath.

People who couldn't react in time were instantly launched into the air; a dozen or so people were flipped up into the sky.

If they fell down from there, it certainly wouldn't feel good.

The candidates' hearts tightened; they hadn't expected traps, making the difficulty of passing even higher now.

"I didn't explain earlier; this exam has made some changes to the track and set up some traps."

"Please everyone be extra careful."

Kubi's voice came from the front.

【Obstacle Ma Lasong, then?】

Luo Ge raised an eyebrow, still following behind Kubi along with Machi, his expression unchanged.

This kind of exam can test a person's comprehensive physical quality, including endurance, explosive power, psychological quality...

After all, Kubi only said they wouldn't run the whole thing, but didn't specify exactly how long the full distance was.

It could be running ten kilometers, twenty kilometers, or it could be running fifty kilometers, sixty kilometers, or even longer.

Only Kubi himself knew these details.

Kubi ran ahead, occasionally having the leisure to check the situation behind him.

This distance was no pressure for him at all.

He was himself a Ma Lasong enthusiast; he had to run at least ten kilometers every day, otherwise he felt uncomfortable all over.

【Not using that spatial-type Nen ability, then?】 Kubi muttered to himself.

He had thought Luo Ge and the other two would use that ability again, just like in the first exam.

However, there were quite a few factors influencing this.

First, the restrictions on this ability must not be low; perhaps it can only be used once a day.

Second, the finish line of the first exam was definite, whereas in this exam, it is not easy for them to determine the finish line.

This might be the reason.

Kubi pondered, coming up with several possibilities.

But in fact, the truth was simply that this situation couldn't use 【Piercing Rope】.

Shizuku's Nen ability could only be used in places they had visited before, so they could only clear the exam using normal methods.

Time flew by,

and apart from a small number of people still following behind Kubi, most could only barely keep up, with people falling behind every single moment.

Previously, they thought that even with traps, as long as they weren't at the front, they could just wait for the people ahead to trigger the traps before moving.

They never expected the traps to be so varied in type.

Some activated instantly, others with a delay; they found it nearly impossible to guard against them.

The traps were of all kinds.

Some had a few holes exposed on the ground, releasing tear gas the moment someone approached.

Others were massive fists that struck out from both sides of the road, capable of sending a person flying with a single blow.

In the crowd,

several men huddled together for warmth, running forward, but happened to catch a glimpse of the short Feitan, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Why is there a child participating in the Hunter Exam?"

"You should hurry home!"

Hearing this, Feitan's steps halted; he stood still in place, as if moved by their words.

But only Shalnark and Franklin knew this was Feitan's sign of anger.

Feitan suddenly raised his head, a flash of coldness sweeping through his gloomy eyes, then vanished from the spot in an instant.

His speed was such that the naked eye could not possibly catch him.

The next moment, several streaks of silver light flashed.

Those men still maintained their running posture, moving forward a few meters before their legs suddenly slid apart, their upper and lower bodies separating.

From the smooth cross-sections, countless columns of blood surged forth, staining the ground red and forming a pool of blood.

"Aaaah!!"

The men were stunned at first, then the extreme pain drilled into their hearts and bones, and only then could they not help but scream in agony.

Now, with their legs separated from their bodies, they were practically cut in half at the waist; they would not die for a while, yet every minute and second was worse than death.

This was Feitan's doing on purpose.

If he wanted them dead, Feitan could have severed their heads in an instant; that would have been far more convenient.

But he did not want them to die so easily.

He enjoyed torture; he wanted to torment them thoroughly before they died.

Franklin glanced at Shalnark.

Shalnark merely shrugged, saying nothing more.

They knew Feitan's nature very well; otherwise, he would not leave until he had finished playing to his heart's content.

Thus, not long after, this place became a hell, filled with terrifying scenes of bloodshed.

Feitan transformed into a devil from hell, holding a sword and knife, cutting the men again and again, his face showing an expression of enjoyment.

Occasionally, people running up from behind, witnessing a scene they had never seen before, all turned pale.

Those with strong mental fortitude dared to detour around, while others simply did not dare to advance, only retreating uncontrollably.

They knew there was a risk of death in the Hunter Exam.

But they never thought they would die like this.

After those men were cut in half at the waist, they were still tortured by Feitan again and again; such cruel torture frightened many into turning back the way they came.

They dared not continue any further.

According to the usual custom of the Hunter Exam, there would likely be a test later requiring candidates to fight each other.

If they encountered that omen of disaster, it would be better to leave a step early.

After some time,

Kalluto stopped his steps, standing before an exit, and outside the exit lay a port.

This was one of the exits of the Carter Port Marathon track.

From start to finish, the only ones who could keep up with him to the end were Luo Ge and the other two, along with Amok.

Normally, Feitan and the other two could have done so, but because Feitan "attended to business" along the way, they fell behind.
