Chapter 15: Go Back to Lying Down!
Ignoring the malevolent look on Pachi's face, the Demon Hunter stood there quietly, waiting for what would happen next—now the other party was the examiner, and he was the examinee; any inappropriate action could be seized upon and used to make things difficult for him.
Pachi stared at the Demon Hunter with a fierce gaze for about five minutes, but said nothing. The Demon Hunter, who had been treating him as if he were not there, made Pachi's well-prepared plan to pin a label on the Demon Hunter fall flat—Pachi, growing increasingly resentful, really wanted to stab the Demon Hunter right there, but thinking of the upcoming test, his anger quickly subsided, and he even managed a smile.
"Apostles possess powers beyond the imagination of ordinary people, surpassing regular Demon Hunters..." Pachi solemnly recited the well-known information that many Demon Hunters had memorized, until finally revealing his true intentions: "Your fire control ability has already passed, but while an Apostle's power is important, combat skills outside of that are also crucial! Therefore, new Apostle Ye Qi, in the next test, I will assess your close-quarters combat ability! Of course, weapons have no eyes, and there is a risk of accidental injury. Since you are skilled with short blades, I will find it hard to hold back..."
Listening to Pachi's words, which he was barely containing his excitement, Ye Qi was taken aback. He had originally been worried that Pachi would come up with some difficult questions, but he never expected it to be a close-quarters combat test without using his powers!
Could it be that Nofa didn't report my close-quarters combat skills to headquarters? Or...
Thinking of this, Ye Qi couldn't help but glance at the cold-faced man out of the corner of his eye. He saw that the man was standing there with a serious, expressionless face, but the giant next to him seemed to have a look of... reluctance?
Seeing this, if Ye Qi still didn't understand what was going on, he would truly be an idiot—the fact that he had defeated the cold-faced man must have been partially concealed, at least his close-quarters combat skills were hidden, and it was even made to look like he had won with his Apostle powers! The giant, being a friend of the cold-faced man, must have also been an accomplice, helping to keep it a secret! Therefore, Pachi, who was completely unaware of his close-quarters combat skills, made this judgment...
You've been tricked again!
Looking at the eager Pachi, Ye Qi sighed as if in sympathy.
Pachi, completely unaware of the situation, was already full of thoughts of how to beat up Ye Qi. Seeing that Ye Qi was not making a move and instead looking at Nofa and Ted, Pachi mistook it for fear and a desire to find help. Having longed for this moment, Pachi would not let Ye Qi "succeed," and immediately said, "I am the chief examiner this time, and Nofa and Ted have no authority to participate! Therefore, new Apostle Ye Qi, please proceed with the close-quarters combat test as I previously instructed. If you do not start, I will announce that you will lose the opportunity to become an Apostle..."
"Let's begin!"
Ye Qi interrupted him, walking to the center of the room—since the other party was so eager to die, he might as well fulfill his wish! Fulfilling others is also a virtue, isn't it?
Seeing that Ye Qi had finally "reluctantly" started the test under his "pressure," Pachi felt a sense of satisfaction, and his eyes gradually filled with ferocity and killing intent—his nephew Koster had been reduced to ashes, and he had been beaten, becoming a laughingstock at headquarters! If it weren't for the family's generous payment to the church's priests for treatment, he would still be bedridden! He had lost face, and so had his family, while Ye Qi had only been confined for a week!
When he learned of this news while recuperating, he could only seethe with anger! Because the cunning other party had always been on the right side, he could only suffer the consequences! However, when he learned that the other party could only take the Apostle test after the confinement, he knew his chance had come!
He was the examiner for this batch of new Apostles, with the authority to test them! Despite his weakness after treatment, he reviewed the other party's records. When he saw the line "poor talent in firearms and cold weapons," he really wanted to shout in excitement!
Having found the other party's weakness, today he would settle all the humiliations he had suffered! Of course, he, Pachi, would be merciful and not kill the other party, just make him lose all four limbs and suffer for the rest of his life...
"Roar!"
Pachi threw a long-prepared punch.
At this moment, Pachi could already see the other party's future, sitting in a wheelchair, a pitiful sight. His originally weak punch regained its peak strength! Endless power surged from his heart, flowing through his body! His hands seemed capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards, unstoppable!
At this moment, Pachi was confident of his victory!
But the next moment, Pachi's eyes widened as a bolt of lightning shot from the other party's hand, piercing through his punch and heading straight for his neck. The sharp wind made him smell the scent of death.
Completely instinctively, Pachi activated his holy artifact, the Withered Branch, and a brown bark armor instantly covered his body, blocking the fatal blow! But before he could celebrate, he felt a chill in his hands and legs, followed by intense pain...
"Sorry, weapons have no eyes..."
Accompanied by a completely insincere apology, Pachi fell into unconsciousness...
"New Apostle Ye Qi, you have passed the test and are officially an Apostle! Congratulations!"
The cold-faced man's congratulations were not much more sincere than the Demon Hunter's apology. However, the Demon Hunter merely curled his lip in disdain and focused on the system.
"C-class mission: Apostle test completed; gained 3,000 experience..."
"Congratulations, your character level has increased to 8; your profession level has increased to 4; your injuries and energy have been fully restored; you have gained 10 skill proficiency points, which you can allocate as you wish..."
Level 8, although no attribute points or special abilities were gained, the increase in profession level gave the Demon Hunter new spells. As usual, he saved the skill points and looked at the spell list.
Fire Wall (Wall of Fire): Summons a wall of fire that continues to burn. Effect: Causes 2d4 fire damage to those within 10 feet. Causes 1d4 damage to those within 20 feet. Causes 2d6 damage to those who cross the wall, with an additional 1 point of damage per level. Duration: 1 minute per 2 levels.
Rage: Uses the power of the spell to stimulate the bloodlust within the body, with no loss of physical strength. Effect: Strength and Constitution +1, Will save +1, Duration: 1 minute per level.
