Chapter 219 -212: Special Welcome Ceremony (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

Half an hour later,

Ye Luo and the other newcomers arrived at the outermost ring of the island, atop the towering dike.

To call it a dike was an understatement; beyond it stretched tidal flats, with the boundless ocean appearing only hundreds of meters away.

The dike resembled a grey giant serpent, lying atop the earth, impassively observing the coming and going of the tides.

Why would the newcomer welcome ceremony take place here?

What did it mean to personally experience the reality of the world?

The newcomers were perplexed.

Ye Luo felt a sense of unease creeping in. He shifted his feet and whispered, “Senior Nan, what exactly is the welcome ceremony going to be like?”

“You’ll find out soon enough. It’s definitely going to be memorable, hehehe.”

Damn!

This only made people even more anxious.

Ye Luo looked around. In the Baiyun State newcomer square formation where he stood, there were 41 newcomers and 5 leaders, including Nan Chaolu.

The number of people in the other square formations was similar, spread out along the dike.

Could this welcome ceremony involve the older generation making friendly contact with them? But if it were only a friendly competition, there would be no need to come to the outer ring of this island, right?

He looked towards the distance, at the big shot who had greeted them that morning.

Big shot Luo.

Under the collective gaze, Luo Jianxing cleared his throat and nodded slightly.

At this moment, beside him were not just the dozen staff from the newcomer reception, but also over a dozen instructors from the training department.

Among the instructors, there were no weak ones.

They were here to observe the performance of the newcomers and were also involved in the upcoming ‘welcome ceremony.’

A very special welcome ceremony indeed, hence the need for so many helpers.

Such a welcome ceremony was being held for the first time, and only the Pacific Ocean training base had the conditions to host it.

“Let’s begin then.”

Luo Jianxing looked at the youthful faces of the newcomers and spoke, his voice resonating clearly to everyone’s ears.

“The path of an Awakener is one fraught with difficulties and brimming with thorns. An Awakener is not only someone with great strength but also, and critically, a front-line warrior fighting against disasters, especially us from Flamefire.”

“Therefore, today’s welcome ceremony theme is to let you understand what it means to be a Flamefire warrior, to comprehend what kind of disasters we Flamefire people have to fight against—”

“To grasp what truly lurks beneath the surface of the world!”

Reality!

In this new era, to the general public, Awakeners and Mysterious Evils represent the reality.

Ordinary people have a clearer understanding of Awakeners, thanks to publicity on television, interviews with some Awakeners by journalists, information made public by investigative bureaus, and so on.

There have even been Awakeners who became live streamers, amassing countless fans in no time.

Nowadays, videos and images related to Awakeners are increasingly available on the internet.

By contrast, knowledge about Mysterious Evil is much less common.

Most know it to be a kind of dangerous monster, invisible, often lurking in remote places seldom visited by humans.

Beyond that, nothing much.

Ye Luo had never seen a Mysterious Evil before; his Awakening had come naturally, out of ignorance.

After the Investigative Bureau disclosed the truth, Ye Luo thought about trying his hand against a Mysterious Evil—it wouldn’t be challenging; all one had to do was venture into the wilderness.

Such a notion would get crushed by him within a second.

Seeking death was out of the question, but curiosity about Mysterious Evil was impossible to resist, especially as his strength grew with constant training, stirring restlessness within Ye Luo.

“So, does that mean we’ll get to see Mysterious Evils with our own eyes during the welcome ceremony? Thinking about it is indeed very exciting.”

“I wonder if we’ll have a chance to fight against a Mysterious Evil.”

Many shared his anticipation.

But there were also those who were nervous and worried.

In times of peace, who wouldn’t be afraid of monsters? Many had never even killed a chicken, let alone faced the terrifying Mysterious Evil.

And then there were those who were indifferent.

“Just a Mysterious Evil? I’ve slaughtered who knows how many.”

A young man stood with his arms crossed, watching the other newcomers around him with anticipation or nervousness, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

His calm, confident, and slightly amused demeanor stood in stark contrast to the others.

Especially the faintly emanating chilly aura from him deterred people from getting too close.

He didn’t need them to.

It was the weak who needed to stay in packs; the strong always walked alone.

His name was Ma Nian, a Mysterious Evil Hunter. Although he hadn’t been registered as a Hunter for long, he had already completed more than ten missions to eradicate Mysterious Evils. He was the rising star of his city, and even some wealthy individuals had offered significant sums to hire him as a bodyguard.

Ma Nian refused them all.

He had just one goal: to keep growing stronger!

Thus, when the mysterious organization sent him an invitation that coincided with a legend he had heard by chance, Ma Nian did not hesitate to accept it.

He left his hometown and came here.

He never saw himself as a newcomer. He longed to challenge the strong within the organization, to grow stronger and surpass them, one by one.

Ma Nian had some emotional intelligence; although he found the welcome ceremony uninteresting and boring, he still waited patiently, as it was just half a day.

Meanwhile,

Luo Jianxing and the group of more than twenty people had already descended from the dike, walking toward the tidal flats about a hundred meters away.

He produced a special kind of incense, one that was scarlet in color, bearing a strange and ominous scent. He placed the incense burner on the ground and lit the peculiar incense with a lighter.

Instantly,

a distinctive fragrance began to drift through the air, so faint that one had to be very attentive to catch a whiff of it.

“This peculiar incense is truly terrifying, capable of attracting Mysterious Evil.”

“With such a vast world, there are all kinds of materials. Just as there is the Mingguang Tree that can repel Mysterious Evil, it’s not strange for there to be special materials that attract them. Like now, this peculiar incense is really coming in handy.”

“Moreover, if not for our special environment here, the incense wouldn’t be very effective.”

“That’s right, later on I definitely want to go on a killing spree.”

“Opportunities to level up with pay aren’t plentiful, I too am struggling to contain my excitement.”

After the strange incense had been burning for a short while, Luo Jianxing picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “The time is almost up, proceed according to the rehearsal plan.”

Tick-tock, tick-tock, time passed.

The atmosphere on the embankment grew progressively tense, and there were fewer people speaking in low voices.

In the eyes of Ye Luo and the other newcomers, there seemed to be something appearing on the distant beach, yet it also appeared as if there was nothing.

They couldn’t see anything, but had the surface of the sea just produced some unusual ripples?

He wasn’t sure, after all, it was too far away.

Suddenly,

a mist descended like layers of white gauze continuously surging over, and in a moment, as if touching some invisible monster, clumps of gray-black shadows emerged before the newcomers.

Luo Jianxing ordered, “Light the torches.”

Up ahead, the ushers who were waiting for instructions upon hearing this, one after another lit the torches in their hands.

This type of torch with fuel partly derived from the Mingguang Tree had a notable difference from the Brightlight torches, and Master Craftsman Wang Chui had named it ‘Revealing Torch’.

A tangerine flame ignited.

A ring of light that was not particularly conspicuous during the day spread out.

Instantly, the clumps of gray-black shadows gradually became clearer.

Monsters with the appearance of walking corpses yet with webbed limbs.

Mysterious Evils with black fur, hideous and terrifying.

A grotesque and indescribably ugly monster.

One after another, they appeared, and in an instant, the newcomers felt a tingling sensation on their scalps, a chill rushing straight to the crown of their heads.

How could there be such ugly, such ferocious monsters in the world!

They found it hard to describe with words, feeling that they would have nightmares tonight, and they probably wouldn’t be able to eat in the evening either.

This is Mysterious Evil? It’s too dreadful!

Those who were timid had already covered their eyes or turned their heads away.

Ye Luo instinctively averted his gaze, then forcefully brought it back, compelling himself to keep his eyes wide open and fixated.

It was possible to shrink back now, but would it be in the future?

Later on, there wouldn’t be such a secure environment to directly confront Mysterious Evil!

Luo Jianxing spoke, “This is the enemy you will face in the future, are you scared? If you are eliminated during the training period and repatriated, then you won’t have to face these creatures in the future. If you can’t handle it, better to voluntarily withdraw early and not waste the organization’s resources.”

He scoffed.

The few who had covered their eyes or turned their heads away also gritted their teeth to face the threat directly.

Huh, it seems the newcomers are not bad, there is still hope.

On the distant beach, those few gray-black monsters were making their shaky advance, moving deceptively fast as they rushed forward.

“This is Mysterious Evil. Under normal circumstances, it is invisible to the naked eye. Right now, they are being materialized through special techniques. However, even so, Mysterious Evil creatures are untouchable by physical beings and can’t be harmed,”

“You are unable to touch Mysterious Evil, yet you can be attacked by them. Once scratched or bitten by their claws or teeth, you would either die or sustain serious injuries—that’s the dangerous nature of Mysterious Evil!”

“Moreover, different Mysterious Evils have different characteristics and different combat methods.”

Luo Jianxing, pointing towards the distance, aimed a laser pointer that cast a special beam of light, shining it on one of the bent-over Mysterious Evils.

Instantly, that Mysterious Evil became even more hideous, baring its teeth and grimacing as green smoke sizzled from the spot where the special light hit. Under the effect of the mist, the torches, and the green light, the frightening figure of Mysterious Evil became clearer.

“This is the Knocking Child Mysterious Evil, it has a penchant for knocking on doors and banging against walls, capable of inciting fear and resonating with people’s hearts.”

As the hunched figure drew closer, the hearts of the newcomers who were situated nearer began to pound as if being clenched, thumping vigorously.

Fear irrepressibly surged into their minds.

If it weren’t for the organization’s bigwigs right in front, some would have probably turned around and run away already.

This was the innate fear and terror of life!

Even Ma Nian, originated from a Hunter’s background, found his emotions surging like tides; he had indeed slain Mysterious Evil before, but this was the first time he saw their full form so clearly. He felt nauseated—how could such filthy beings exist in this world.

He stared intensely, intending to etch the appearance of Mysterious Evil into his memory.

Chances to see Mysterious Evil so clearly were rare—miss this one and who knows when the next would be.

The initiation ceremony actually had some merits after all.

Ma Nian withdrew his previous assessment of the event being dull.

The Mysterious Evil were drawing near, heading for the incense burning on the mudflats. Flamefire seniors stepped forward, ready to intercept.

One pair of eyes after another watched intently.

The newcomers were eagerly anticipating, finally going to witness an Awakener’s battle against Mysterious Evil creatures?

Ma Nian too, he wanted to see what level the organization’s Awakeners were at.

At that moment,

Luo Jianxing, gazing into the distance, smiled with the corners of his mouth lifted.

“Now, the initiation ceremony officially begins. Keep your eyes wide open and take a good look at this surging reality!”

What does that mean?

Ma Nian, Ye Luo, and others were startled.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and the small rocks on the embankment shook violently.

In the distance, the sea where the tide rose and fell seemed to be boiling, with clumps of gray-black shadows emerging from beneath the surface, step by step approaching the embankment.

Dozens!

Hundreds!

Over a thousand!

One monster after another emerged from the seawater, revealing their clear visages under the illumination of the Revealing Torches.

The ferocious heads, the writhing tentacles, the blood-filled mouths that kept opening and closing.

It was like a tide of blackness rushing towards them.

This is the harsh reality!
