Silence. At this moment, the entire forest was engulfed in silence. There was no sign of the fierce battle that had just taken place here.

Xiao Tian leaned against the nearby big tree, gasping for breath, as he pulled his dagger out. At this moment, the dagger was already stained with blood.

After a long while, Dong Feng and Cai Qiang came running over like mad. At this moment, the look they gave Xiao Tian was filled with admiration, leaving no room for anything else.

Soldiers are fond of battles and strength. They also admire strong individuals.

Originally, they thought the legendary Hunter was just a myth. Now they finally understood what it meant to be "more than a legend, surpassing legend!"

The scenes that had just unfolded were so shocking they didn’t know what to say when they ran over. After a while, Dong Feng finally snapped out of his astonishment, looked up at the sky, and said, "No wonder they are notorious international assassins, abandoning their companions without hesitation."

Xiao Tian, expressionless, looked at the blood on the dagger and said indifferently, "I just stabbed him once. Even if he doesn’t die, he is crippled. From now on, there will be no more Hada and Pank in the Dark List....."

To kill two Dark List Experts and severely injure an unknown one—is such a record believable even if you talk about it endlessly?

Yet, all this unfolded right in front of Dong Feng and Cai Qiang! Apart from terror, they couldn’t find any other words to describe this military assassin.

Dong Feng and Cai Qiang’s mindset was different from before; now, they were filled with pride. How could they not be proud to have an instructor of this caliber?

Moments later, Dong Feng and Cai Qiang quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and respectfully said, "We’re sorry, instructor. We didn’t recognize a master when we saw one. Huaxia Hunter, the god of the military, truly lives up to the name. We request punishment, even if it means running ten thousand laps, just don’t drive us away!"

Soldiers are competitive by nature, and so are Dong Feng and Cai Qiang. Before, they thought even if they retired, they would not tolerate any disgrace, but now it was the opposite. Even if Xiao Tian pointed a gun at them, they would not leave.

Since witnessing Xiao Tian’s strength just now, Dong Feng and Cai Qiang were in total awe.

"Alright, let me teach you two a lesson. Attacking an officer is not right!" Xiao Tian said calmly.

"Yes!" Dong Feng and Cai Qiang knew they had made a big mistake, accepted their punishment, and stood straight like poles.

Saying that, Xiao Tian swung his fist towards them. Having just witnessed Xiao Tian’s ferocity, wouldn’t this punch break an arm or a leg?

But both Dong Feng and Cai Qiang felt no fear and intended to withstand Xiao Tian’s punch directly. They even felt a gust of wind surging.

Pa, pa.

The anticipated excruciating pain did not come; Xiao Tian merely patted them on the shoulder.

In truth, Xiao Tian did not blame Dong Feng and Cai Qiang; it’s normal for others not to respect a new instructor.

"Instructor, this...?"

Seeing that Xiao Tian did not hit them and merely patted their shoulders, Dong Feng asked in confusion.

Xiao Tian laughed, "I’ll let it slide this time, but by the end of your training, if you don’t meet my expectations, I’ll deal with you harshly!"

Knowing they wouldn’t be beaten, smiles bloomed on their faces, "Thank you, instructor. You are truly impressive, almost god-like!"

Then, Dong Feng came over, trying to flatter, "Instructor, with your skills, getting into the top twenty of the Dark List shouldn’t be a problem!"

For them, having been special forces soldiers, they clearly understood Xiao Tian’s skills. Many of his moves were dazzlingly complex, making even the highly-trained Dong Feng and Cai Qiang confused. Comparing this rank to Xiao Tian’s recent display, it might even be lower than deserved!

"Top twenty?" Xiao Tian smiled faintly and said, "I actually took a look at my rank on that so-called Dark List."

After hearing Xiao Tian’s words, both of their eyes widened, waiting for Xiao Tian to continue. What Xiao Tian said next utterly shocked them.

"Seems like I’m ranked tenth?"

Xiao Tian casually stated this explosive piece of information.

Ranked tenth! Dark List tenth!

"Damn!" Dong Feng jumped up, startled by Xiao Tian’s words, and couldn’t help but curse.

"Is this real?" The two stood frozen, as Xiao Tian’s words were so shocking. It surpassed their capacity to comprehend.

Ranked tenth on the Dark List was globally top-tier, sought after by countless families and organizations.

Cai Qiang, who had been silent, finally spoke, his eyes filled with shock, and his speech stuttered, "I’ve heard... there’s a replaceable rule in the Dark List. These Dark List Experts must have come to challenge the instructor for his position!"

No wonder three Dark List Experts were alarmed into action together. No wonder there were always rumors of a Huaxia master reaching tenth on the Dark List. It turns out this person was actually Xiao Tian, the Hunter of the military!

And the tenth-ranked on the Dark List was their instructor? Both were speechless for a long time; Dong Feng was so excited he didn’t know what to do. After all, it was too shocking.

"Instructor, could you tell me about your exploits?" Dong Feng came over smilingly and asked.

Surprised by their increasing insolence, even asking him to tell stories, Xiao Tian glared, "Get out, get out! I’m not telling stories. If you’re not back in formation, tomorrow, both of you run a hundred laps for me!"

"Back to formation at once!" At the mention of running a hundred laps, Dong Feng, recalling the day’s events, turned pale and didn’t dare delay for a second, directly following Cai Qiang back to the military area.

Meanwhile, eyeing the blood and bodies on the ground, Xiao Tian dialed Zhu Hu, asking him to send someone to handle the scene. Both Salon and Pank were infamous international criminals, bringing them to the authorities would surely count as a significant achievement. Xiao Tian believed Zhu Hu would be more than willing to handle this matter.

----

Within just one night, the fate of the three Hada members had spread across the global Dark Realm.

Three Dark List Experts went to challenge the Hunter, resulting in two deaths and one serious injury! As the news spread, it shook the entire Dark World.

In no time, rumors about the Huaxia Hunter circulated throughout the Dark Realm. The Huaxia Hunter used his prowess to perfectly counter those who had doubted his strength before.

Overnight, the Hunter’s reputation skyrocketed in the Dark World. Many Dark List Experts became intrigued, including some top-notch individuals ranked in the teens.
