"Without Jiko in the bathroom, it's nice..."

After enjoying a refreshing bath, Morris lay comfortably on his large bed that he had all to himself.

Feeling the softness that enveloped him, a smile of enjoyment unknowingly appeared on his face.

However, this pleasant moment was short-lived, as he was abruptly pulled from the bed by the sound of an assembly call echoing through the room.

"Damn, can't they let me sleep a bit longer..."

Reluctantly, Morris walked out of the room and into the corridor, where many others had already gathered one by one.

These were the other Hunters who had come together.

Judging by their current state, it seemed like they had, like him, been forcibly dragged out of a comfortable environment.

Morris himself was a bit puzzled.

Why did just a seventy to eighty square meter single-person dormitory make him feel so entranced?

Though he was accustomed to living in harsh environments, sometimes even camping in the wilds, he didn't have high requirements for his surroundings.

But that didn't mean he didn't own a decent villa.

After all, he was a high-income Bounty Hunter.

Spending a bit of money, he managed to buy a small villa back in his hometown Bali, big enough for six to seven people.

Yet, whenever he returned there, he couldn't find that homely feeling.

In contrast, he felt an unexpected warmth and comfort in the small dormitory he had just visited for the first time.

Of course, what Morris didn't know was that the room he stayed in was far from ordinary.

Its internal structure, meticulously designed by Tang Xueke's team, secretly catered to people's yearning for a relaxed private space.

Additionally, the special frequency of infrasound waves played in the living area naturally relaxed their bodies.

Moreover, the Seven-star Lake of the Star Alliance was a rare gem.

While it might not compare to the Immortal's Blessed Land of the Tianyuan Sect,

compared to the outside world, both its air and environment were vastly superior.

For this reason, Hunters coming here immediately developed a strong sense of belonging.

Sometimes, the environment can unconsciously influence a person's state of mind.

Outside, in the corridor,

a white man in a black Fearless Suit stood expressionless, quietly observing the sluggish Hunters.

"Is this... a Tracker...?"

Noticing the man's expression, Morris felt a sudden pang of guilt.

Though the man didn't appear overly hostile, Morris could feel an immense pressure weighing him down, making it hard to breathe.

"No, his outfit seems somewhat different from what I saw before..."

Morris observed carefully, with his good memory.

He recalled that the previous Tracker he had encountered wore a similar but slightly different outfit.

The primary distinction was in the uniform's pattern.

The previous Tracker had a black uniform with gold trim embedded with single stripes.

But the man before him had changed it to double stripes.

As for other subtle details, Morris couldn't quite remember, but they were certainly different.

Morris's observation was spot-on.

The man was wearing a Second Order Fearless Suit, the major distinction from the First Order being its double-striped gold trim.

Wearing a Second Order Fearless Suit indicated one thing.

That this person was not an ordinary Tracker from Moon Shadow Hall, but a higher-ranked Demon Hunter.

Aaron Griffin, seeing that all fifty-five were finally present, accurately reported their time without checking his watch.

"Eight minutes and twenty-six seconds, is this the strength of elite Hunters? Heh... Seems less impressive than some students in their first military training."

Aaron unhesitatingly initiated a mocking mode, facing everyone's gaze.

"I originally thought you were professional Bounty Hunters from the Wildfire Tavern, but I didn't expect your quality to be so poor. With this performance, you probably won't last two days on Guleng Star."

Hearing such blunt mockery, Morris couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Indeed, he had gotten too relaxed in the room earlier.

Upon hearing the assembly notice, he leisurely dressed instead of rushing out, so being scolded was justified.

However, he couldn't have anticipated the sudden summoning.

Though he was a top-tier Bounty Hunter, having left the military years ago, he lacked the quick response of a soldier.

Bounty Hunters aren't soldiers, and thus, they lack the psychological preparation for rapid assembly scenarios.

In the end, it was partly his fault.

Morris was anxious, hoping his lateness wouldn't be remembered, vowing to be quicker next time.

The other Hunters felt similarly.

It wasn't that their sense of discipline suddenly improved.

Most aimed to perform well in hopes of future integration into the Star Alliance, causing their nervousness.

Aaron didn't dwell on the earlier incident.

He casually scanned the crowd and then introduced himself:

"I am your combat instructor, leader of the 'Shadow Demon Extermination Group' of Moon Shadow Hall. You can call me 'White Wolf'."

"All combat training knowledge before heading to Guleng Star will be taught by me."

"Now, everyone follows me to the training ground."

With that, Aaron turned and left decisively.

This young man, brought back from America by Zhang Xiaoman, had become a pivotal force within the Star Alliance.

He, along with Bena Braun, were Lord Bear's most prized disciples.

Both had matured into independent experts and had even advanced to Second Order Demon Hunters.

They had established their own group—the Shadow Demon Extermination Group.

This group, similar to Lord Bear's reverse walkers, functioned like a specialized college club.

However, unlike Lord Bear's reverse walkers, the Shadow Demon Extermination Group had higher entry requirements.

It generally accepted only Awakeners from Moon Shadow Hall, tasked with executing extremely dangerous missions.

"Moon Shadow Hall... Shadow Demon Extermination Group... White Wolf..."

Morris trailed behind the group, still mulling over Aaron's words.

Despite Aaron seeming only in his twenties, Morris had no underestimation.

After all, Aaron was a Transcendent within the Star Alliance.

Judging by Aaron's attire, his status was likely higher than the rest.

No matter how foolish, Morris wouldn't question his strength.

The group silently followed Aaron, once again taking the elevator back to the surface.

There were multiple training grounds within the Star Alliance, both underground and aboveground.

Even outside the Shield on Rebirth Island, there were several large outdoor arenas to test powerful Dark Energy Techniques.

This time, Aaron led them to an open-air venue above the base.

Its level was C3, with relatively low intensity, primarily for non-Awakener members.
