"Bought it!"

Chen Gu smacked down 2,500 merits to purchase the "Fury Roar Sky-Cleaver" technique. The good thing about martial arts techniques was that they didn't require shipping; Chen Gu paid and immediately obtained the electronic version of the saber technique.

However, he did not start training right away because on the sub-page of the same level, he saw another tag: hidden weapons.

Chen Gu opened it to take a look. There were fewer types on this page, but he actually found one that he needed.

"Ghost Hand Ten Techniques" was a martial art that allowed one to control the force and technique, to launch hidden weapons and autonomously change their trajectory and speed to a certain extent mid-flight.

Chen Gu looked at the price, which was 300, and gritted his teeth to buy it.

He bought it as a precaution; when facing Park Sanyi's second Biological Nuclear Explosion, he had manipulated the Blazing Banner by varying speeds to evade those tentacle interceptions.

This was a medium-sized loophole, which could now be explained away with the "Ghost Hand Ten Techniques."

After that, Chen Gu began training in these two martial arts techniques. He directly channeled Griffin Wester's memories, and with the foundation of High-Energy Combat Art, he made rapid progress in his training, achieving double the results with half the effort.

It was also because High-Energy Combat Art was too profound; at the first Energy Level, its power could not be fully exerted. Otherwise, Chen Gu wouldn't need any other martial arts and could just train this one.

Therefore, martial arts don't necessarily need to be profound; what's most important is suitability for the current stage.

「The next day」

Chen Gu took leave from the sub-bureau and trained at home. By evening, he had a preliminary grasp of these two martial arts techniques.

Wrath of the Azure Sky, when executed, was like mountains collapsing and seas overturning, far surpassing what "Ancient Martial Great Nine Forms" could compare with.

"Next time I encounter that dumb gorilla, I won't say a word. I'll just smack his face with a saber!"

"With my 'Fury Roar Sky-Cleaver,' that moron will definitely be unable to react and get hit on the head by the battle saber! I'll control it so exquisitely, the blade will stop right at his forehead, not even scraping off a bit of the skin."

"That moron will definitely piss his pants out of fear."

"Hahahaha..."

He was not the slightest bit self-aware that laughing so heartily and indulging in such wishful thinking also made him quite... goofy.

Seeing it was about time, Chen Gu left his home and drove straight to the church.

This time, a clergy member was specially waiting for him at the entrance. After receiving him, the clergy member guided him to the back of the church, saying, "Besides yourself, there are also a few others who want to take on this mission. If you all pass the assessment, you might consider forming a team together, which would be a bit safer." The clergy member suggested kindly.

In a large hall at the back of the church, four people were already waiting. Chen Gu recognized from their attire that these were all alien hunters.

Many colonial stars have indigenous creatures. The vast universe is incredibly magical, giving birth to many different types of life forms.

For example, on Empire River Star, the 'Mechanical Species' is a form of mechanical life, further divided into Steam-Powered Mechanical Species and Energy Gathering Mechanical Species.

On other colonial stars, there are various other 'alien species.' Consequently, hunters who specialized in hunting these aliens came into being.

Sometimes they would take on certain missions; as long as there was money involved, they were willing to do practically anything.

Even in the wilderness, they could be mercenaries, or they could be bandits.

As Chen Gu followed the clergy into the room, the four alien hunters immediately cast unusual glances. Their scrutiny carried a hint of contempt: A child?

The clergy said, "Please wait a moment, there's one more person on the way. We'll start once they arrive."

He had a kind heart and advised everyone, "The mission is very dangerous. The Holy Church hopes everyone can work together; we don't wish to see anyone get hurt because of this."

Of the four alien hunters, three simply lifted their heads as if they hadn't heard, while one gave Chen Gu a dismissive glance and said, "No need for that. I'm not cut out to be a nanny."

The other alien hunters burst into loud laughter, causing the clergy to frown, his impression of these alien hunters worsening.

Chen Gu coolly scanned the hunter who had spoken and shook his head slightly. With that kind of attitude, Chen Gu had no interest in becoming teammates with them.

So foolishly reckless.

No wonder the mortality rate of alien hunters was perpetually high.

As it was nearly six o'clock, a figure flashed at the door and a fragrant breeze wafted in. The clergy stood up and said, "Alright, everyone's here. We can begin now."

All four alien hunters narrowed their eyes, openly ogling the beautiful woman who entered. The same hunter who had spoken earlier changed his tune and said to the clergy, "If it's teaming up with this chick, I can accept that."

He then sneered with a heh heh heh.

The other three alien hunters nodded in agreement, finding the suggestion reasonable.

The newcomer was lightly made up but exuded a sense of natural beauty. Her tall and fit stature was accentuated by elastic pants that shaped her long and straight legs. Her lush, tri-colored hair was braided into a plait behind her head, each color forming a distinct section of the braid.

When Chen Gu saw her, he was genuinely taken aback: Qing Ruyan!

Her outfit and demeanor were different from when she had been in the office; she looked more like an 'alien hunter.' Chen Gu felt a sense of disconnect—this girl seemed like a completely different person from the one he had first met.

"How could she appear here? To complete a mission for the Atomic Holy Church? I am a Radiation Missionary, so I have sufficient reason, but surely this person isn't a Nuclear Explosion Nun, right?"

Chen Gu couldn't help but recall Milna Katerina's various strange 'habits,' and as a result, his gaze towards Qing Ruyan became somewhat odd.

Qing Ruyan stealthily shot Chen Gu a look, then pretending not to know him, she walked over and asked, "What is the content of the assessment?"

The clergy adjusted his glasses, concealing his own fluster caused by Qing Ruyan's beauty, and said, "We will send out a powerful warrior..."

Qing Ruyan waved her hand dismissively. "What a hassle." She pointed at the four alien hunters. "If I knock all four of them down, does that count as passing?"

The clergy was flabbergasted. The girl was indeed beautiful, but... her personality was too combative, not quite my type.

"Does it count?" Qing Ruyan pressed, seeing he didn't answer. She stepped forward, stomped one foot on a chair, and leaned her elbow on her knee, demanding an answer.

"It should be possible," conceded the clergy, who dared not say otherwise given her posture.

Qing Ruyan whistled, and Chen Gu chimed in from the side, "That's great. I've had enough of these guys anyway."

He stepped forward. "I'll go first."

The four alien hunters revealed a fierce smile. "A pair of clueless fledglings. Such a pity it's within the city. If it were outside, I would tie up these two kids together. Looking at their pretty faces and asses, I think I could have fun with both the girl and the boy."
