“Register as an adventurer?”

Mo You frowned slightly. He opened his mouth, and said, “You just achieved your breakthrough, right? Can you pass the test?”

Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and smiled. “That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve awakened too.”

Mu Yuzhu and Mo You’s eyes were wide open as they shouted, “Awakened?!”

The two of them exchanged glances and smiled. Mu Yuzhu happily said, “Xiaobai, you gave us so many surprises over the past two days.”

Mo You nodded. “Indeed.”

From the hollow treasure to a flawless grade refined force technique, and then using one night to breakthrough and even succeeded in Awakening, there were really too many surprises.

Their son was really a genius.

Mo You smiled, and asked, “What power did you awaken?”

Mo Xiaobai told them about the image of the Giant he saw yesterday and the power of the Giants.

Mu Yuzhu contemplated before saying, “The power of the Giants… I’m not sure if any other people have it. I’ve never heard of it before.”

Mo You nodded. “However, there are many talents that allow you to increase your strength. The talent everyone awakens is slightly different, so there’s no need to be too bothered by it.”

Mu Yuzhu agreed. “You managed to double your strength the moment you awakened your talent. What’s more, it’s an overall increase. I think that your talent is a powerful one.”

Both of them looked relieved.

They were naturally happy that Mo Xiaobai was getting more and more powerful.

Mo You opened his mouth, and said, “In that case, let’s go to the expedition adventurers later. You are a Force Warrior now, so you need to prepare some weapons and items too.”

Mo Xiaobai’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He excitedly exclaimed, “Thank you, Dad!”

If there were good items, his battle power would increase, and it would be safer for him when he visited graystone hill again.

After breakfast, Mo You brought Mo Xiaobai to the expedition association.

The expedition association and the Cerulean Empire’s military were both governmental organizations.

The military protected the country and guarded dangerous regions, such as the three forbidden districts and the borders of certain lands that belonged to the barbarians.

As for the expedition association, it was a special middleman. They gave and accepted missions, and managed the hollow realm.

Every city and town had its own branch. The expedition association branch for Pingxi Town was situated right in the middle of the town.

It was a huge and tall white building. The structure was around the same as the expedition center’s. However, it was bigger, and there were many more people here.

Mo Xiaobai entered the door with Mo You. He looked around curiously, and realized that the layout of this place was similar to the expedition center’s.

There were a huge main hall and many counters. Many adventurers came here to settle administrative issues.

Mo Xiaobai also noticed that when they entered, many adventurers that walked past them glanced at them. More accurately, they were looking at Mo You.

Mo Xiaobai knew the reason.

After all, his father was a three force points Force Warrior as well as the captain of an expedition team. There should be many people who knew him.

Opposite the main entrance, there was a huge screen. There were many messages on the screen.

Mo Xiaobai took a look at them. They were entrusting missions.

The first mission caused Mo Xiaobai to open his eyes wide.

“Look for the culprit.

“Find the culprit behind the murder in Fuding District, dead or alive.

“Reward: an elite grade force technique crystal and 500 first-rank crystal remnants.”

“The murder at Fuding District… Isn’t this the case where the little girl was murdered?”

Mo Xiaobai was a little shocked.

Mo You glanced at the screen, and replied, “This should be a mission given by the military guards.”

“The military guards will assign missions to the expedition association?”

Mo You smiled. “Of course. There’s a limited number of guards, and Pingxi Town isn’t very small. Hence, finding culprits can be quite hard. Thus, they will look for adventurers to help with these missions.”

Mo Xiaobai understood.

He smiled. “The rewards for this mission are quite good.”

Mo You squinted and nodded. “Indeed.”

Mo Xiaobai managed to find one legendary grade force technique crystal and one uncommon grade force technique crystal, but in reality, force technique crystals were extremely rare. This was an elite grade force technique crystal, so it was a good item even for a three force points Force Warrior.

As Mo Xiaobai and Mo You were talking, a barbarian man walked out from the corridor at the side.

His gray-white hair stood up like a porcupine, and he was wearing grayish-blue armor. He looked like a fierce and vicious bear.

The barbarian man walked towards Mo You and Mo Xiaobai. He smiled, and said, “Captain Mo, what brings you here?”

Mo You smiled. “Director Bu, I didn’t know that you’re on duty today.”

As he spoke, he patted Mo Xiaobai, and said, “This is my son, Mo Xiaobai. He just became a Force Warrior, and is coming to register as an adventurer today.

“Xiaobai, this is Director Bu Bai of the expedition association.”

Mo Xiaobai nodded, and greeted Bu Bai. “Director Bu Bai, nice to meet you.”

Bu Bai sized up Mo Xiaobai. He smiled. “Is this the son you always mentioned? He became a Force Warrior at such a young age? Not bad, not bad.”

He patted Mo Xiaobai’s shoulder. Mo Xiaobai felt that he was almost going to be patted into the ground. “Young heroes. With his potential, he would be able to enter one of the top 100 institutions without any problem. Captain Mo, you’re a lucky man.”

Mo You smiled. “Director Bu, you’re being too polite. Xiaobai still has a lot to work on.”

Bu Bai laughed. He said, “Since I’m free, let me help you with your registration.”

“Thanks for your help, Director Bu.”

Bu Bai brought Mo Xiaobai and Mo You through a door at one side of the hall. After walking past a corridor, they came to a space that was slightly smaller than the main hall.

There were two counters beside the door. A few Force Warriors were lining up. They probably came to register as adventurers too.

Further into the room, there was a square area that was sunk in. Mo Xiaobai could see that it was an arena below.

In the arena, a young man was fighting with a one force point first-rank graystone wolf.

The young man seemed to have just achieved his breakthrough, so the battle with the graystone wolf seemed a little tough for him. There were bloody wounds on his body.

However, his long blade had also left many wounds on the graystone wolf. The battle was at a standstill for more than a minute. Then, the young man finally slashed the graystone wolf’s throat and killed it.

After killing the graystone wolf, he panted heavily and could barely stand.

“Pass!”

At the side of the arena, a stern-looking young night spirit lady wearing leather armor announced the results.

The young man immediately gave an excited smile.

He forced his tired body upright, and thanked the night spirit lady profusely. Then, he walked up the stairs at the side.

His companion was a pretty rabbit-lady. When he came up, she quickly held him. She looked really worried about him.

“Xiaobai, if you want to become a black steel adventurer, you need to win a fight against a first-rank magical beast. Do you know that?” Bu Bai asked with a smile.

Mo Xiaobai nodded. “Yes, Director Bu.”

Bu Bai nodded. “Come with me, then.”

He led Mo Xiaobai all the way to the front of the line. The people that were lining up frowned slightly when they saw this. They were unhappy.

Just as they were about to speak, the elf at the counter stood up. “Director Bu, why are you here?”

The people in the line started looking at the ground when they heard this. They pretended that nothing had happened.

Bu Bai nodded. He pushed Mo Xiaobai forward. “Help him to register.”

The young male elf looked at Mo Xiaobai’s young face, and was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded. “Okay.”
