The Legend of the Demon Hunter

The Demon Hunter Association's quest hall was bustling with people coming and going. Xiao Zhu, dressed in blue, walked in without attracting much attention. He walked straight to a platform at the innermost part of the hall and said to an old man wearing glasses, "Senior, I'm here to exchange for a gold medal."

The old man had to deal with countless demon hunters who came to him for tasks every day, so he naturally didn't have much patience. Without even looking up, he casually threw out a silver medal and said, "Here, give me your bronze medal!"

After waiting for a long time, no one took the medal on the table. The old man urged impatiently: "Do you still want to change the medal?"

Xiao Zhu replied calmly: "Senior, I already have the medal you gave me. I am here to exchange it for the gold medal."

This immediately attracted the old man's attention. He raised his head, pushed his glasses, and looked at Xiao Zhu carefully. He was surprised and said, "Ah? It's Xiao Zhu! Have you completed your ten level 2 tasks?"

Xiao Zhu smiled and replied, "Yes, I completed the task of hunting down the Swift Wind Wolf today, exactly the tenth one."

"Hunting the Wind Wolf! Did you do it by yourself?" The old man looked at Xiao Zhu in disbelief.

"Yes, senior." Xiao Zhu replied truthfully.

"That's a level two intermediate magical beast. You're so young and yet you have such strength and achievements. I, Zheng Wangfu, have also been in this demon hunter hall for more than ten years. Your growth rate is really rare!" the old man replied.

Xiao Zhu had been frequenting the Demon Hunter Association for the past two years. Although he had developed some friendship with this old man, he only knew that his last name was Zheng. Only today did he learn that his full name was Zheng Wangfu.

Zheng Wangfu took out a silver medal and handed it to Xiao Zhu, and suddenly said seriously: "Child, although you have obtained the gold medal, the third-level mission is still too dangerous for you now. I suggest that you be more cautious and improve your cultivation first!"

Xiao Zhu nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior. I have completed many Level 1 and Level 2 missions in the past two years. I know that the difficulty of each level of mission is very different. Naturally, I will not aim too high. Please rest assured, Senior."

At this time, many demon hunters came to the stage, and they were obviously looking for Zheng Wangfu to hand in demon hunting tasks. Xiao Zhu took the opportunity to say goodbye to the old man and left.

Xiao Zhu had just walked away a few steps when a beautiful girl in a white dress came up to him. The girl stared at Xiao Zhu with her beautiful eyes. Xiao Zhu thought she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

But the girl walked gracefully to Xiao Zhu, waved her hand and said, "Brother Xiao, do you still remember me?"

Xiao Zhu was stunned on the spot. After looking at the girl for a moment, he suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you. When I joined the Demon Hunter Association two years ago, it was you who gave me the first bronze medal."

"So much time has passed, I didn't expect that Brother Xiao still remembered me. My name is Liu Lusi." Liu Lusi said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you! When I met Miss Liu in the past, she seemed to be wearing a white dress. There seemed to be a woman in a yellow dress next to her, who looked very similar to Miss Liu..." Xiao Zhu recalled the scene when he joined the Demon Hunter Association two years ago.

"That's my twin sister. She is very talented. She completed her blood awakening at an early age and became a demon hunter. But I was born dull and have not been able to complete the awakening until now. But the awakening of my blood brought misfortune to my sister. She was killed by a demon beast during a demon hunting operation half a year ago." Liu Lusi lowered her eyelids and said faintly.

"What?" Xiao Zhu first opened his eyes wide in surprise, and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry for bringing up Miss Liu's sad past."

"It's all over, but I've had high hopes for you since I first saw you. I didn't expect that in the past two years, your achievements have far exceeded my and my expectations. Brother Xiao, I'm really looking forward to seeing the day when you get the gold medal!" Liu Lusi said.

Xiao Zhu had not expected that his achievement of obtaining the Gold Medal would attract so much attention in the Demon Hunter Association. He smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Liu, you are overpraising me."

"Brother Xiao, the Demon Hunter Association plans to hold an auction tonight. It is said that many demon hunters come here to participate. I wonder if you are interested?" Liu Lusi asked, staring into Xiao Zhu's eyes with her beautiful eyes.

"Auction?" Xiao Zhu had never participated in an auction, so he was quite curious when he heard about it today.

"That's right. This auction is held by the Demon Hunter Association. Only demon hunters who hold gold medals or above are eligible to participate. I can take Brother Xiao there. If there are any items that interest you, it won't be too late to make a decision then." Liu Lusi introduced patiently.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Liu." Hearing this, Xiao Zhu nodded and said.

The two walked out of the mission hall and walked for about ten minutes, and arrived at the center of the Demon Hunter Association. This was Xiao Zhu's first time here. Although Liu Lusi didn't say anything, he guessed that the reason why he had never set foot here before was because his level was not high enough.

Along the way, Xiao Zhu also carefully observed the layout of the Demon Hunter Association. The medal awarding and mission halls were at the front of the association's building complex, occupying about one-third of the area. The central area was the auction hall and a towering tower called "Into the Clouds Tower". Its specific purpose was unknown, and the backyard of the association could not be seen from here. Overall, although the area of ​​the Demon Hunter Association was not as large as that of the Novan Academy, it did occupy a considerable area in Novan City.

Entering the auction hall, a young man in the preparation room verified Xiao Zhu's medal and enthusiastically asked Xiao Zhu if he had any items that needed to be auctioned.

Xiao Zhu took out the crystal core of the Gale Wolf that he had just obtained, and then took out two crystal cores of level 2 monsters. The young man took them carefully and handed them to an old man. The old man carefully observed the three crystal cores with a magnifying glass and said briefly: "This one can be put on the auction stage." He was referring to the crystal core of the Gale Wolf.

The young man walked up to Xiao Zhu, bowed humbly, and explained politely: "Dear Silver Member, your crystal core can be auctioned at the main venue, and the other two can be sent to the boutique trade fair. Do you accept it?"

"Boutique trade fair?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

"Yes, because the main auction only auctions thirty items each time, so we are very strict in screening the auction items. Those items that are not eligible to enter the main auction but are still very precious are placed at the boutique trade fair for association members to choose. All the goods at the boutique trade fair are fixed prices, and are directly priced by professionals from the Demon Hunter Association. If you agree, I will send the other two crystal cores to the boutique trade fair." The young man explained in great detail.

"Of course!" These two crystal cores were of little use to Xiao Zhu, so he readily agreed.

"Please come in!" The young man stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
