Chapter 87: Got It

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Got It

The wolf pack below has already drawn near, one of them trying to climb up.

Renee Morgan stood on the rock wall, plunged her knife down without hesitation, and the wolf tumbled off the stone, the pack immediately pouncing, trying to bite her arm.

Renee withdrew quickly—they brushed against her arm as they landed, drool splattering, breathing heavily.

Standing on the stone wall, Renee looked at the wolves below, recalling the time she stabbed a giant bug and the deterrent effect it had.

Maybe she needed to kill a wolf to resolve this crisis.

After freezing through the night, exhausted and sleepy, Renee found herself bursting with endless strength at the brink of life and death.

When another wolf tried to climb again, Renee’s knife struck fast, fierce, and precise, plunging into its throat.

"Awooo..." The wolf collapsed to the ground, letting out a miserable howl.

The wolves’ eyes were already blood-red; they leapt up in succession, pouncing at her.

Renee had the terrain to her advantage. As they lunged, she kicked out midair, sending them flying before their jaws could even snap shut—her moves so quick they were launched before they could bite.

This continued on and off for about half an hour; several wolves were wounded and limping, with two barely hanging on after their throats were stabbed.

Atop the stone wall, Renee stood holding her military knife, features cold and sharp, completely unlike someone who had frozen and fought wolves all night—her fierceness blended with calm, making it clear: even if a pack of tigers came next, she’d crush them, too.

The wolf pack began to hesitate. They were always smart about assessing their prey, and Renee was a tough bone—they couldn’t crack her.

But she was just a skinny little human, and conceding to her left them unwilling.

Renee knew that now, intimidation mattered most. Even as her strength faded, she maintained her fighting posture, staring coldly at the wolves, refusing to retreat or flinch.

After who knows how long, Renee’s limbs went numb. She kept kicking and stamping on the stone wall, showing off her fighting skills; her fierce moves stunned the wolves below again and again.

The two wolves stabbed in the throat, apparently unable to hold out any longer, left.

Renee watched them run off, her knife dropping to the ground, and then she collapsed with a thud.

The viewers’ attention shifted back to her, finally noticing the numerous wounds on her arms torn by wolf teeth and claws—while not deep, they were more than just scratches, blood flowing and shocking to behold.

People hadn’t recovered from the intense struggle, and seeing the injuries made them inhale sharply.

[Renee Morgan really doesn’t fear death to get that base pass. People say she’s kind and loyal, but honestly, her face screams ’ambitious’ to me.]

[Holy crap, soloing six wolves after freezing in the snow all night? Renee is way too hard on herself.]

[Ambitious? You’re just jealous. The only reason to go into the base forest is for the pass—what, you think she’s sightseeing?]

[Exactly! She’s the last one standing from her team, and now the world is watching her live.]

[Renee Morgan might be the only actress branded as an action queen before ever appearing in a film.]

Just as mainland netizens said, plenty of people abroad were glued to this live stream, thinking Renee would be knocked out when the wolf pack appeared—but she surprised everyone by fighting six wolves after a night in the freezing snow, pushing herself harder than any normal person could.

What did she rely on? Chinese kung fu.

The Western Nations are obsessed--almost fanatical--about Chinese kung fu, and Renee Morgan is the one turning their myth into reality.

When the time arrived and the forest base staff showed up to tell Renee she could leave, nobody found it surprising.

The whole internet erupted in cheers.

Even though Renee Morgan wasn’t from their country, they still felt a sense of honor swelling inside.

Their goddess got the base pass.

Their goddess brought back the glory.

Chinese netizens, seeing the screen flooded with cheers, smiled and shook their heads, remembering the last time such spectacle happened was during the World Cup victory.

Mainland viewers, while complaining that Renee was too reckless—risking life and limb—were nevertheless incredulous when she passed the test and got the base pass.

Wasn’t it said that worldwide, those holding base passes are few and far between?

Of course, ’few and far between’ is a bit exaggerated, but basically, it’s very hard to get.

Many enter each year, but so few complete the test and actually obtain the base pass.

All those big and small Mercenary Guilds, the Pugilist Kings, and those two mysterious men said to possess Beast Taming Ability—all failed to withstand the harsh snow.

Renee Morgan, just an ordinary entertainer, with some martial arts foundation, maybe, but to get the base pass? It’s unbelievable—a true miracle.

Compared to the frenzy online, Renee herself thought the outcome was just as expected—because she nearly died.

After nearly losing her life, when asked if she could stand up, Renee managed to prop herself up from the ground, her head heavy but mind clear; she didn’t embarrass herself, walking out behind him.

The exit was opposite from the entry—there was only one way out, a vast plaza. Renee, following him in a daze, staggered to the exit and saw her face appear clearly on the giant screen atop the building.

Before Renee could react, a mechanical voice echoed across the plaza.

"Renee Morgan, Chinese national, passed the assessment, admitted as a base member."

Two prominent lines appeared on the big screen, in both Chinese and English.

Then the screen scrolled, showing two more lines: "Admitted member, world’s first female, Renee Morgan."

The mechanical voice repeated, echoing in everyone’s ears.

No one could believe it—she was the first woman?

Renee Morgan was actually the first.

This identity, compared to her actor status, is worlds apart.

Mainland netizens were in awe, over and over.

Foreign viewers were even more excited—their idol really lived up to expectations.

They’d picked right.

Chinese netizens [...] So the last sentence is the real highlight, huh?

Renee had been limp and exhausted; but after leaving the base forest, she seemed reborn, carrying the items given to her, with a bright, dazzling smile.

Viewers in the livestream were stunned, clutching their chests; Renee Morgan had recreated her iconic forest moment shot.

As Renee walked out into the plaza, she saw the instructor bringing all the members to welcome her.

In that moment, without needing words, Renee stepped forward and hugged the instructor.
