The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

Dust flies, gravel splashes.

Amidst the muffled and intense rumbling, the fist hitting the wall undergoes three processes in an instant: indentation, crumbling, and piercing, forming a huge opening large enough for a person to pass through.

Waving his hand to disperse the flying dust, Pengsi sees that Bailang has punched through the wall and quickly walks back.

"It's so thick, and the level of solidity is probably something only you can easily break through," Pengsi says, glancing at Bailang's fist and then looking at the pierced hole, which, although adjacent to the other passage, has a wall thickness of two to three meters.

Pengsi tentatively uses her palm wrapped in mental energy to grab the edge of the hole in the wall, and with some effort, manages to pry off a piece. She can't help but sigh.

Indeed, there is a loophole in the wall between the two passages. However, not just anyone can take advantage of this loophole.

After confirming the thickness and solidity of the wall, Pengsi quickly comes to a conclusion.

If it were her, before mastering "Nian," without the help of tools, she would never be able to break through a wall of this level.

As for now, even with the mastery of "Nian," it would still take a considerable amount of time to dig through.

And then there's Bailang.

Pengsi just witnessed it clearly.

When Bailang punched through the wall, there was no change in the mental energy surrounding his body; it still maintained the basic "Chan."

In other words, this punch that broke through the wall was probably just an ordinary strike for Bailang, or even a casual punch.

Although it's not the first time Pengsi has felt Bailang's strength, each time still leaves her amazed.

"Don't stand there in a daze, let's hurry!" While Pengsi is lost in thought, Bailang has already passed through the hole and is heading towards the other passage. Seeing that Pengsi hasn't caught up, he calls out to her.

"Uh... I'm coming!" Pengsi snaps out of it and quickly passes through the hole, then happily embraces Bailang's arm.

The stronger her man is, the better, naturally.

Feeling the two powerful energies gripping his arm, Bailang doesn't think too much about Pengsi's joyful expression, assuming that she is happy to have found a shortcut.

Without wasting any time, Bailang lets Pengsi hold onto his arm and they set off towards the depths of the passage.

In the control room, when Bailang punches through the wall and transitions from the shared passage to the separate one, both Libo sitting in the chair and the three people behind him are stunned.

"Warden, does this count as cheating? Should we close the passage behind them?" one of them asks hesitantly.

"Hmph, of course this is cheating. People who take shortcuts like this have no qualifications to be professional Hunters," Libo replies.

The three people standing behind Libo are two prisoners and a wild-looking man with a scar on his face.

When one of the prisoners hesitates and asks Libo, the scarred man immediately snorts disdainfully, looking at Bailang on the screen.

"Cheat? No, this can't be considered cheating. It's actually a brilliant display of thinking ability. It's interesting that they came up with such a method to disrupt my arrangement."

Libo was briefly stunned but quickly recovered, even grabbing some snacks nearby and eating them excitedly.

Seeing that Libo didn't pursue the matter, the two prisoners naturally had no objections.

After all, they were able to stand here because they usually behaved well and were selected as assistants.

The scarred man was dissatisfied with Libo's judgment, but he had to endure it.

There was nothing he could do. Although he was also a professional Hunter, he was not an examiner for this Hunter test.

Being able to appear here was entirely his own doing, and it required Libo's permission.

As for why he came, it was naturally for revenge.

The scarred man was the examiner who was nearly killed by Hisoka in the previous Hunter test.

After a year of hard training, he had transformed into a avenger, ready to repay the humiliation Hisoka had inflicted on him in this test.

After entering the separate passage, Bailang and Pengsi walked a distance along the passage and soon encountered a spiral staircase leading downwards.

The two continued down the stairs, and after a while, they came across a platform that seemed to have cut off the stairs.

Coming down from the stairs and standing on the spacious platform, Pengsi looked around in confusion. "This shouldn't be the bottom of the tower, right?"

The platform was surrounded by walls, with no other passages in sight.

"With the distance we just descended, we've at most come down to a third of the height of the trap tower," Bailang surveyed the surroundings and quickly looked up to find the familiar speakers and monitors above a wall on one side.

"Look, I estimate that the person on the other side will soon tell us the current situation." Bailang patted Pengsi's shoulder and raised his chin, indicating the location of the monitor.

Pengsi looked and indeed saw the monitor.

"Cough... First of all, congratulations to both of you for taking this simple route with your unique thinking ability!"

Noticing Bailang and Pengsi's gaze, Libo's voice quickly sounded from the speakers as they both looked at the monitor.

From his tone, it was not difficult to hear that Libo appreciated Bailang's approach.

But he quickly changed his tone and continued, "Of course, even if it's a simple route, it's not something you can pass through casually. As you can see now, there are three checkpoints on this route, each guarded by a prisoner. If you want to pass, you must defeat all three guards."

"Furthermore, I need to remind you that this is a separate passage. Although both of you have taken this route in a unique way, you must still follow the basic rules. In each checkpoint, only one of you can participate in the battle, and once defeated, both of you will be eliminated."

Libo's explanation made Bailang and Pengsi pensive.

Suddenly, a strange noise caught their attention.

Bailang and Pengsi turned their heads to the source of the noise and saw a stone door appearing on one side of the platform.
