Chapter 881: Where did these rumors even come from?

"Yes." Xu Tian responded and walked into the auditorium.

"You sit over there." The instructor pointed out a seat for Xu Tian.

Xu Tian walked to the empty seat and sat down.

Soon, the first class began.

The content of this instructor's lecture was basically an introduction to the major families and well-known gangs of Wuji Dao, as well as an analysis of their territorial boundaries and the hostile relationships between them.

After finishing the discussion on families and gangs, the topic returned to the introduction of bounty missions, while also emphasizing the rules for promotion.

A bounty hunter can obtain corresponding experience points upon successfully completing a mission.

In layman's terms, it means the same thing as leveling up by killing monsters in a game.

Xu Tian had nothing else to do, so he listened quite attentively. Originally, he didn't know much about the forces on Wuji Dao; he had only been able to obtain some information previously through chatting with Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu.

Focused time always passes quickly. Xu Tian was truly listening with great interest, and before he knew it, class was over.

After Xu Tian came out of the large auditorium, he returned directly to his dormitory.

It was now break time, and the once-empty dormitory had gained some life.

Xu Tian was packing his luggage when he heard a flamboyant shriek.

"Holy crap, who is this ugly monster?"

A woman with her head covered in ornaments like a Christmas tree walked in, twisting her slender waist. She looked at Xu Tian as if she had seen some kind of monster.

"What ugly monster?"

Several young women behind her also entered the room, and upon seeing Xu Tian, they were slightly taken aback.

"He must be a newcomer too..."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Xu Tian nodded at them and continued packing his luggage.

More than half of the people in his dormitory were newcomers who had just entered the villa; they were unfamiliar with each other. Except for that woman who made a fuss, the others just regarded Xu Tian as an ordinary roommate and didn't have much interaction with him.

As more and more newcomers returned, everyone began to introduce themselves.

At this moment, Xu Tian's luggage was also mostly packed.

A little girl with a doll-like face took the initiative to walk up to him.

"My name is Liu Shasha, what's your name?"

"Xu Tian." Xu Tian replied.

"Your name is Xu Tian?" A young man and woman opposite him were very surprised. "Your uncle's surname is Zhang, so why is your name Xu Tian?"

These two people were the nephew and niece of the high-level family member who had mocked Old Zhang on the hillside earlier.

These two were surnamed Zhao; the man was named Zhao Mu, and the woman was named Zhao Qianjiao.

"I took my mother's surname." Xu Tian said indifferently.

"Oh." Zhao Mu curled his lips. "I have no interest in knowing about your family affairs. Your uncle is a member of the Azure Wolf Hall, which is a famous bandit den. If you really want what's best for your uncle, you should have him leave that place as soon as possible."

"You're being a bit unreasonable here." Zhao Qianjiao covered her mouth and giggled. "His uncle is at retirement age. If he leaves the Azure Wolf Hall and loses his only source of income, he'll probably have to go out on the street to beg."

Xu Tian frowned slightly and was about to speak, but heard Liu Shasha say with dissatisfaction:

"What is wrong with you two? Does his uncle's business require your approval? Everyone is a bounty hunter of the same rank, so who are you being so snide for! Truly, ugly people make the most trouble!"

"Bitch, who are you calling ugly?" Zhao Qianjiao's face darkened, and she glared at her with a malicious expression.

"I'm talking about you!" Liu Shasha was not to be outdone. "Want to fight? You'll have to see if you're qualified to fight me! My big brother is a Level 3 bounty hunter; if you dare touch a hair on my head, he will absolutely not let you off!"

"Enough, there's no need to bicker with such low-class village girls." Zhao Mu tugged on Zhao Qianjiao's sleeve.

Although Zhao Qianjiao was unconvinced, she didn't know Liu Shasha's background and had heard that she had a big brother who was a Level 3 bounty hunter, so she could only endure it for now.

"Alright, stop arguing, all of you." An old student in the dormitory spoke up. "Since everyone has been assigned to the same dormitory, it's fate. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will be living together for a long time to come. We'll be seeing each other every day, so there's no need to sour the relationship."

After he stated his position, the other newcomers didn't speak again.

"Senior, you've been studying in the villa for so long, why haven't you been promoted to a Level 3 bounty hunter yet?" Liu Shasha glanced at that old student.

The old student was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly: "Promotion isn't that easy, and bounty missions aren't easy to do either."

"No way, I've been at the villa for half a year and have already completed several Level 4 missions."

Liu Shasha said in surprise.

Immediately after, she changed the subject.

"But the last mission was indeed very dangerous. I took a mission to assassinate a high-level family member, and as soon as I succeeded, I attracted guards and was almost caught. Fortunately, I was clever; if it had been anyone else, they might have died out there."

"Heh, it's only a Level 4 mission, what's there to brag about?" A long-haired woman with a clear and beautiful appearance sneered. "I've even done a Special-level mission before!"

Special-level?

Upon hearing this, the people around them held their breath, turned their heads one after another to look at this woman, and waited for the rest of the story.

Xu Tian also asked with great interest.

"And then? How did you complete it?"

"... I didn't complete it." The beautiful woman coughed lightly, her expression embarrassed. "It was too dangerous..."

"Tch! What does that count for!"

The crowd was very disappointed and booed one after another.

"If you didn't complete it, why are you talking about it!" Liu Shasha also felt that she had been played. "If I take a few Special-level missions now and then give them up, can I go around bragging too?"

"I didn't say I completed it either!" The beautiful woman knew she was in the wrong, but having been retorted by Liu Shasha, she felt uncomfortable and still defended herself stubbornly.

But Liu Shasha couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her anymore: "By the way, have you noticed the Special-Level 1 bounty mission on the bulletin board?"

"Are you talking about the mission to wipe out the Azure Wolf Hall?" Someone said, "It's truly crazy. Who in their right mind would take this mission? Especially that Wolf King; he's vicious and kills without blinking. As long as you don't have a problem with your brain, it's impossible to go and provoke him."

"Indeed... I've heard that the Wolf King is addicted to killing and even likes to bathe in human blood..."

"You know the Thunder Hall, right? Some time ago, the leader of the Thunder Hall ran to the Azure Wolf Hall to provoke them, but ended up being beaten up by the Wolf King. Not only were his hand and foot tendons severed, but his head was also cut off and placed on the office desk as a trophy."

Xu Tian:...

Where did these rumors even come from?

Being addicted to killing is one thing, but what normal person would bathe in human blood?

Moreover, the leader of the Thunder Hall, Zhuang Ping, was clearly let go by him. Yet, when it spread outside, it turned into him being beheaded. Even if spreading rumors isn't illegal here, it shouldn't be this exaggerated and illogical, right?

"Let me tell you, this isn't even the most perverted mission." Liu Shasha said mysteriously, trying to whet everyone's appetite. "I've seen a Special-Level 1 mission before, and someone actually took it!" ===== CHAPTER 882 =====
