Sun Hang didn't go to track that guy... It's not that he lacked "alertness," as the other person claimed, but rather that he didn't feel any threat from him at all.

This ability to turn one's body into a phantom seems magical, but Sun Hang could tell that it had many limitations and wasn't very powerful in combat... The key point was that although his body became phantom-like, the Hunter in this state didn't seem to be immune to all forms of physical attacks like Spiritual Body Type Mysterious Creatures.

Otherwise, the guy wouldn't have rushed back to his room so quickly after being exposed.

The greatest benefit of this ability is probably that it prevents one from being trapped by the terrain, allowing passage back and forth through obstacles... But how widely applicable it is remains unknown.

Sun Hang was a little curious whether this guy could pass through a high-voltage electrified wire mesh unscathed in his phantom state.

"I could ask him next time we meet, but he probably wouldn't answer that kind of question either..."

Sun Hang got up, washed up, and went to have a self-service breakfast in the hotel lobby. He noticed that many people were wearing large cloaks like him, and some weren't even bothering to disguise themselves, exposing the transformed parts of their bodies... The chefs calmly continued preparing food behind the buffet counter, not giving these "extremely dangerous" infected individuals a second glance.

This at least proved that the Angsa Hunter wasn't lying when he said, "This hotel is specifically for Hunters."

Sun Hang grabbed a couple of dumplings, two slices of bacon, a bit of fried food, and a steamed corn cob, and was about to find a seat when his phone suddenly rang in his pants pocket.

Not only his phone, but the phones of every diner in the restaurant started ringing at the same time.

Sun Hang took out his phone and saw it was a message from Dubhe Tower, informing all Hunters who passed the first round of trials to gather at K08 airport in Lousu District at 10 a.m.

This time, Hunters didn't need to catch a taxi themselves; special transportation would be arranged by Dubhe Tower.

"Hey, buddy." A young Hunter sat down opposite Sun Hang with a tray. He had a dense patch of silver scales under his eyelids, though unlike the dragon scales on Wang Xiyi, his seemed more like those of some freshwater fish. "Which batch of Trialists are you?"

"Batch? What batch?" Sun Hang was confused, having no idea there were different batches for the trial.

"The Hunters participating in the promotion trials in Chunming City are from all regions of the federation, divided into fourteen batches. I'm from the north, the Siberian Autonomous Region, batch five. What about you?" the young Hunter asked.

Sun Hang then noticed that although the person looked like someone from Xiazhou, his eyes were green, and his black curls were dyed, revealing a short section of golden roots—just like Song Yarong, he was a mixed-race individual.

"I'm from Tianfu City," Sun Hang said, taking a bite of corn.

"Tianfu City in Shuzhou, huh! Then you're the 14th batch of Trialists!" The young Hunter said. "I completed the first round half a month ago, just waiting for your batch!"

"Uh, I'm the last batch?"

"Due to the Eternal Night, the batch from Shuzhou was delayed by an entire week and ended up last," the young Hunter said with curiosity. "By the way, what is Eternal Night like? I've never experienced it in my life! Once I become a Rank Hunter, I'm planning to challenge myself in Shuzhou. Can you tell me what's happening there now?"

Sun Hang didn't find the chatty Hunter annoying and replied thoughtfully, "As the name implies, it's 24-hours of darkness, with not a bit of sunlight."

"And the mysterious creatures? I heard that every time Eternal Night occurs, it brings a 'Night of a Hundred Phantoms'... The fighting in Tianfu City must be intense, right? I followed the news there, wasn't there a mysterious mountain that brushed past the city's edge recently? The damage must have been severe, right?"

"Yeah, it was like an earthquake, half of the West District was destroyed, and many people were displaced... As for the exact number of casualties, the authorities haven't released it, so I'm not sure," Sun Hang said while continuing to eat his corn.

"Were you there at the scene?" the chatty Hunter asked again. "A fast-moving mountain... Just imagining it is astonishing, seeing it in person must be even more shocking, right?"

"It was indeed shocking," Sun Hang nodded, his words tinged with nonchalance, "It just 'rumbled' past."

"Anything else besides that? Any other mysterious creature appearances?"

"No, after that mountain 'left,' Shuzhou was quiet," Sun Hang said, tossing the corn cob aside and picking up a slice of bacon with chopsticks, "Apart from the absence of sunlight and the unbearable cold, nothing unusual."

"This must be the calm before the storm!" the chatty Hunter declared confidently, "Perhaps those mysterious creatures are planning an even more terrifying attack!"

Sun Hang suddenly thought about introducing this guy to Yin Xiang, believing the two would get along very well.

"At least, it's calm for now," Sun Hang said. "Instead of discussing this, maybe we should focus on the upcoming trials."

"Yeah..." the chatty Hunter nodded and suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously, "As an exchange of information, I can give you a hint about the second round..."

"Oh?" Sun Hang paused his chewing and looked at him, intrigued.

"My partners and I arrived earlier, so we know a bit more," the chatty Hunter whispered, "The second round of the trial isn't inside the city but on a deserted island 300 kilometers east of Chunming City."

"Really?" Sun Hang pretended to be completely unaware and asked.

"Yes, this island can't be found on any existing map software, do you know why?"

"Why?" Sun Hang realized that this guy knew more than he did.

"There used to be a Dubhe Tower research facility on the island, supposedly studying 'Artificial Hunters,' but for some reason, the facility was shut down, and the entire island was sealed off, becoming an unknown forbidden zone."
