In two months, there will be the annual selection examination of the Thieves Group. Every time this time comes, it is the moment that all the children pay the most attention to.
Because those who pass this selection test will be qualified to become soldiers of the thieves, and can go out with the thieves to carry out "honest and fair" robberies around major cities.
This can be said to be an excellent opportunity to improve combat experience.
And Leos naturally learned the news from Yueying.
For him, what he lacks most now is combat experience.
The concentration of fighting spirit practiced every day in the blacksmith shop has been quite effective. Coupled with Aleman's personal martial arts skills, Leos has almost reached the level of a level 2 warrior.
But compared to Yueying, his strength is still somewhat insufficient.
Although it is said that the second level of power evolution of the talent in Leos' body has been opened, the power it brings to him is not very obvious yet.
Just like what the woman from the pure white world said, this level of strength is the slowest to grow, and it is also the most critical and practical level.
If you successfully reach the third level of power, the subsequent levels of talent will grow at a rapid rate and have very powerful destructive power.
For this selection test, Leos entered into a state of intensive practice.
His desire to become stronger is becoming clearer and clearer without realizing it, perhaps due to curiosity and competitiveness.
Leos, who had been despised since childhood, didn't want to lose to anyone in this new place.
"Concentrate! Concentrate! Don't have distracting thoughts in your mind! Chicken Little!!" Lowell was a little dissatisfied with Leos who had been a little distracted in the past two days.
Leos has been practicing the concentration of fighting spirit recently and suddenly he stares straight out of the window, not knowing what he is looking at. This makes Lowell feel very strange.
On this day, Leos was in this state again, which made Lowell a little confused.
"Chicken! Is there a naked woman standing outside the window?! Why are you looking out so hard! Fighting spirit! Fighting spirit! Concentrate! Concentrate!!" Lowell struck with a newly made long sword.
banging on the forging bench.
Then he glanced towards the window sill.
Leos turned his head and looked at Lowell with confusion: "Teacher Lowell, why do I always feel like someone is watching me lately!"
Lowell laughed: "Spying on you? Haven't you been spied on a lot? Last time! I saw two girls lying in front of your window and peeking at you taking a shower!! Uh~~~
Another time, two brats were secretly watching you pee. Little chicken! You wouldn’t be scared if you were looked at like this every day. Are you scared now?”
Leos frowned and looked out the window again: "No! There must be something outside!"
Using the power of the first level of perception in his talent, Leos could clearly feel a kind of hostility, as if a pair of eyes had been watching him quietly in a dark corner.
This feeling is like being penetrated by a ghost, and your whole body is chilled.
When I left the blacksmith shop in the evening, it was already late at night.
Because the training process was a bit slow today, Leo Belowell forced himself to stay and practiced for three more hours.
Leos was walking alone on the empty street, and the cold wind blew by, making him shiver.
Today Yueying was called by Aleman for special training. To Aleman, Yueying was a good candidate to become an excellent female knight. Naturally, he hoped that she could pass the selection test this time and join the battle quickly.
So Leos could only go home alone. To be honest, Yueying chattering around him every day had already made Leos get used to it.
Now that Yueying is not around to tease and seduce him, he will feel very uncomfortable.
Leos crossed his arms and accelerated his pace home.
Just as he turned into a dark alley in a residential area, a dark shadow quickly passed between the houses behind him.
Leos suddenly heard a rush of footsteps and turned around suddenly.
I only saw a small leaf on the ground blown by the breeze, but there was no one there.
Leos felt something was wrong, and he felt a strong sense of self-defense. Since he didn't have any weapons on him, he could only pull off an iron hoop from the belt on his waist and hold it in his hand.
His instinct from hunting in the woods since he was a child told him that there must be something nearby, and it was getting closer.
Leos quickened his pace and walked towards home.
At this time, everyone in Lyman Village had already rested, so the surrounding area was almost dark, because sentries were patrolling the gate, and the security was tight, so it was impossible for anyone to break in from the outside.
Therefore, there is no one patrolling and guarding the village.
But Leos' sense of threat is getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly! Another burst of rapid and rapid footsteps passed by.
Leos turned around almost at the same time, and a pure white fighting spirit instantly formed in his right hand and gathered on the iron hoop, and then shot out forcefully behind him.
There was only a "ding!" sound, and the small iron hoop hit the wall, making a small hole in the wall and then fell to the ground.
"Missed!" Leos said softly.
He sped up and was almost running. His intuition told him that there must be something watching him in the dark corner, ready to launch a surprise attack at the best time.
But he didn't know who he had sinned against during his time in Lyman Village.
Many people even like Leos very much, except for the little boys who were robbed of their favorite girls. If it were just because of these, they would not launch a sneak attack on Leos.
As Leos' pace quickened, the sound of footsteps behind him became clearer and clearer. In the end, it turned into a chase.
By this time, the black figure had suddenly appeared behind Leos and was chasing after him without even trying to hide.
Leos ran forward quickly, and he saw it from the reflections on the walls of the surrounding houses.
That black shadow actually held a sharp knife in his hand!!
Leos seemed to be able to feel the reflection of the sharp knife exuding a strong murderous aura.
He ran to an empty warehouse and picked up an iron bar lying in the corner.
The moment Leos got the iron rod, a pure white fighting spirit suddenly appeared and wrapped the iron rod tightly.
Now Leos can maintain his fighting spirit for thirty seconds, so he can fully use his fighting spirit to launch attacks.
Suddenly, the black figure holding a sharp knife stabbed Leos in the back, going straight to the vital point at a tricky angle.
Leos looked at the reflection on the ground, instantly leaned down, did a cartwheel with his left hand on the ground, then turned around to face the black shadow and smashed the iron rod condensed with fighting spirit in his hand against it.
The black figure dodged back and struck it with a sharp knife. A spark burst out and illuminated the black figure's face in an instant.
But what Leos saw was not a face, but a piece of black cloth. There were two holes in the black cloth, and a pair of eyes looked at him fiercely in the holes.
Leos pushed the sharp knife forward with force, and the two of them separated and stood on both sides of the street.
A gust of cold wind blew by, filling the entire dark alley with a chilling feeling.
"Who are you!! Why did you attack me!!" Leos' voice was urgent and powerful.
But the black figure said nothing, raised the sharp knife high and struck at his face.
Leos used the power of perception and soon the opponent's data appeared in his mind.
The black shadow attacking him now is actually a level 5 warrior, one level higher than Yueying. And he is about to be upgraded to the level of "servant".
Leos was stunned, why would this person who was several levels higher than him have such murderous intention towards him?
In his mind, he didn't know anyone of this level.
At this time, the black figure launched a fierce attack on Leos like crazy. His force was so fierce that every knife seemed to want to cut off a piece of flesh from Leos' body.
"Who the hell are you!!" Leos shouted again.
But the black shadow remained silent and showed no reaction.
Leos felt a surge of anger in his heart, and used all his strength to make the fighting spirit in his hands stronger.
The dazzling white light became more intense, and streaks of light wrapped around Leos' palm.
The man in black suddenly stopped and stared at Leos' right hand: "First level fighting spirit!"
This black shadow was obviously surprised that Leos could skillfully use the first level of fighting spirit.
Leos heard the voice of the black shadow, and while he was distracted, he immediately threw the iron rod filled with fighting spirit.
This ferocious force was enough to kill a civilian.
The black shadow groaned, dodged, stepped on the wall with his left foot, and climbed onto the roof of a house.
The iron rod missed the black shadow, but shot straight into the window of the house in front.
A pane of glass was shattered instantly, making a crisp sound that woke up the sleeping people.
Households lit oil lamps one after another, opened their windows and looked at the quiet and deserted streets.
The streets were empty, as if nothing had happened and it was extremely quiet.
"It's so late! Who is playing a prank here! Damn it!! Don't get caught by me!!" A big man's curse instantly spread throughout the residential area.
Then, more houses turned on their lights.
The dark figure lying on the roof of the house stared at Leos standing in the corner of the dark alley, his eyes full of murderous intent and anger.
Leos also raised his head to meet the unfriendly eyes. He felt that this black figure must be someone from Leman Village, but who had such a big hatred against him that he had to kill him.
Leos couldn't understand all this.
Finally, the black figure quickly scanned more and more lit-up houses in the residential area with his eyes, then gave Leos a vicious look, then turned over and disappeared on the roof of the house without knowing where to go.
