Chapter 244 Invasion Imminent
*1 Week Later*
The Raven city was now somewhat up and running better than before under the reign of Helen as the only place that needed rebuilding was the main base that the Iron Fist used which was destroyed in the battle between Jake and Clark.
The people of Raven city were ecstatic after learning that Helen was now in charge of the city and their oppressors had all perished. They also learnt that the werewolf slayer also helped Helen to reclaim the city and now they were more than grateful.
Since some of the adventurers that worked for Blip were killed, the city was now in heavy recruit for adventurers to help defend the city and a barracks was built for that with Steve and Berg in charge of the recruiting.
"Arghh! This is so frustrating! This guys are not even worth our time." Steve exclaimed in anger as he kept on sifting through the list.
"Let's just keep performing the assessments." Berg said as he called on all the recruits that stood in front of them.
"Alright, who's next?" Berg asked and a man stepped forward.
"This test is simple, firstly, to be an adventurer, you need to know how to use Qi even if it's the first stage. So all you just have to do is to use your Qi to punch that huge boulder over there and if it is cracked, you move onto the next stage." Steve explained as he pointed at a huge boulder that looked very thick and heavy.
The man calmly walked over to the boulder and then readied himself while closing his eyes and breathing in and out gently while also envisioning the Qi moving around him.
With a snap, he punched the boulder with all the strength he could muster leaving just a scratch on it.@@@@
"Inspection!" Steve shouted and a man was seen heading towards the boulder and inspecting it.
"Just a scratch!" The man shouted.
"Hmph! Pathetic. Next!" Steve said as he called on the next person to take the test.
The people kept coming one by one while just leaving a single scratch on the boulder and getting rejected one after the other.
"Your loss!" The man shouted as he bolted forward towards Jake at an impressive speed.
Then he swung his sword towards Jake who just pivoted sideways avoiding it easily. There was a clear opening for Jake to hit him back but he didn't as he just moved back to give the man space to come again.
The man came again and swung his sword from the side while also shooting out an invisible shard towards Jake.
'Impressive, he can use the second stage.' Jake thought as he dodged the sword and then used his finger to catch the invisible Qi shard with his two fingers before it reached his face.
'How is this possible? He caught it, who the hell is this?' The man thought.
"He pass!" Jake said out loud.
"What!?!!" Someone shouted from the crowd. "He didn't even land a hit on you, how did he pass?"
"You all were to weak to notice this but in the fight, he used the second stage of Qi against me which is more than enough to make him pass as he is skillful with sword and Qi." Jake explained.
"And I don't need to give any explanation whatsoever to you all." Jake shouted again while unleashing his Qi at them all making them shiver in fear as they could feel the killing intent and the strength behind the aura.
"Berg, I came here to inform you that Helen wanted to see and she also said you all should be done with this recruiting process soon as I will be leaving soon." Jake said and was about to go when a man was seen running towards them all panicking.

"Sir Berg, sir Steve." The man said as he quickly went on his knees.
"What is wrong?" Berg asked.
"An army is heading our way and miss Helen asked me to inform you all as this attack is from one of the other guilds." The man said.
