Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent

Xiao Wang went to the bathroom, quickly took off his blood-stained clothes, and turned on the shower.

The weather in April is still a bit chilly.

But he didn't feel cold at all, letting the cold water wash over his head.

The cool water made his mind clearer, allowing him to consider his current situation and sort out the original owner's memories.

Xiao Wang, 18 years old, is a senior high school student in the outer district of Yuanshan City. When he was 10 years old, his family's building exploded. There were 26 people in 6 households on 3 floors, and only two people survived. He was one of them.

She was then sent to an orphanage and later adopted by her current foster parents. For the past few years, she has been investigating the cause of the explosion, but to no avail, until she met Aries.

The place he is currently in is called Yuanshan City, located on the southwestern border of the Federation, a key frontier fortress in the fight against the rebels.

Xiao Wang quickly wiped the blood off his body with his hands. Only then did he realize that he not only had a wound on his left chest, but also several stab wounds to his abdomen and thigh.

For some reason, the pain in those areas is no longer as noticeable.

He carefully washed the wound on his left chest with the flowing water. When his hand touched the wound, suddenly, a glowing bead appeared in his mind.

Based on his years of experience reading online novels, he knew that this was probably a cheat code.

The bead was red at this moment. After observing it for a while, Xiao Wang noticed that the color of the bead was slowly deepening. At the same time, he felt that the pain in his wound was lessening and that it was healing quickly.

Could this bead absorb damage and quickly heal wounds?

Xiao Wang guessed that if he could encounter something like this during his time travel, it wouldn't be surprising if something else happened.

At the same time, a search of the original owner's memories revealed no recollection of the bead.

"Never mind that for now..."

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Wang quickly washed himself clean, changed into clean clothes, and returned to the blood-stained living room.

Aries was sitting on the sofa when he saw Xiao Wang come out. "Leave your dirty clothes behind, I'll take care of them."

Xiao Wang threw his dirty clothes on the ground, looked at Aries, and asked, "So I can leave now?"

"certainly."

Xiao Wang glanced at Aries. "What if I never manage to enter the inner city?"

Yuanshan City, or rather the cities of the entire Federation, are divided into an inner city and an outer city, separated by high city walls. Almost all the most important things in a city are in the inner city, so the inner city is under extremely strict control. People from the outer city will almost never be able to enter the inner city in their entire lives.

Aries didn't answer the question. Instead, he took out a pair of latex gloves from his white suit, put them on, and began dragging the corpse on the ground.

Xiao Wang glanced at Aries's posture and knew there would be no answer, or perhaps the answer had already been given.

After pausing for a moment, he walked towards the gate. As he reached the gate and was about to open it, Xiao Wang suddenly thought of a few important questions.

"You said we're colleagues now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Aries stopped what he was doing, looked up at Xiao Wang, and said, "That's right, so..."

"So, is there a salary?"

Aries paused for a moment.

It was as if he was getting to know Xiao Wang for the first time; the Xiao Wang before him seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him compared to the one he had investigated.

Seeing that Aries didn't answer, Xiao Wang pressed on, "Surely there should be some kind of official position, right?"

Aries: ? ? ?

"Damn, I've already transmigrated, and I still haven't managed to get a government job," Xiao Wang thought to himself.

Amidst Aries's bewildered and confused gaze, Xiao Wang opened the door and walked out.

After passing through the narrow stairwell, you soon arrive on the street.

The rain had mostly subsided by then, but Xiao Wang still put on the raincoat that Bai Yang had brought and walked along Yuntan Road towards home.

It was already late at night, and there wasn't a soul on the streets of the outer city.

Xiao Wang turned his head to look at the majestic inner city wall, which stood forty meters high in the distance. The searchlights on it occasionally swept across the street where he was standing, and he instinctively moved his body into the shadows next to him.

At the top of the city wall, you can still see some heavily armed federal soldiers patrolling back and forth.

"Enter the inner city..."

Xiao Wang muttered a sentence to himself, quickened his pace, and returned to his home on Baowei Road half an hour later.

After opening the door and entering the house, Xiao Wang's adoptive parents were already asleep. He went straight to his room, turned on the light, and looked at the time on the wall. It was already five in the morning.

He lay down on the bed fully clothed, and the prolonged mental tension and physical exhaustion quickly put him into a deep sleep.

Two hours later, Qin Fengying's voice rang out from outside the door, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang? Get up."

"They're here."

Xiao Wang got out of bed. Although he had only slept for two hours, he felt very energetic and almost not tired at all.

And when he examined the wounds on his body, he was stunned.

The wounds on my abdomen and legs have mostly scabbed over, and the deepest wound on my chest is also showing obvious signs of healing. If this continues, it will be completely healed in two days at most.

Looking at the bead in my mind again, I noticed that its color was darker than yesterday, and it was now showing signs of turning black.

Xiao Wang changed out of his clothes and put them away, then changed into his usual clothes, opened the door, and came out.

At this moment, the adoptive father Zhou Zhengxiong, the adoptive mother Qin Fengying, and their four-year-old son Zhou Xuanyu were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

After washing up, Xiao Wang sat down at the dining table and picked up an egg to peel.

"Where did you go last night? You didn't come back so late," asked Zhou Zhengxiong, the adoptive father.

While peeling an egg, Xiao Wang calmly replied, "I was playing at a classmate's house. The rain was too heavy, so I waited until it subsided before coming back."

Zhou Zhengxiong listened without pressing further, and instead instructed his youngest son, "Xuanyu, go and turn on the radio for your father."

Zhou Xuanyu, who was drinking porridge, jumped off the stool and quickly ran to turn on the radio.

While listening to the radio, Zhou Zhengxiong asked Xiao Wang, "You're graduating from high school soon, what path are you planning to take?"

Instead of directly answering his adoptive father's question, Xiao Wang countered with, "Uncle, do you know how to enter the inner city?"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengxiong and Qin Fengying exchanged a glance.

"Wang, why are you asking this?" asked Qin Fengying, the foster mother.

"I was just asking out of curiosity."

Zhou Zhengxiong and Qin Fengying exchanged glances again. Qin Fengying continued, "Look, the inner city isn't a place just anyone can enter. Let's be realistic and..."

"Auntie, I was just asking out of curiosity." Xiao Wang interrupted Qin Fengying before she could finish speaking.

Zhou Zhengxiong took a sip of porridge, glanced at Xiao Wang, and said, "People from the outer city need a pass to enter the inner city, but those with passes are either rich or noble. Of course, the inner city also selects some people from the outer city to enter the inner city every year, such as outstanding students from the Cultural University. It is said that these people are selected to work in the Federation or to conduct research in the three major corporations."

Xiao Wang listened and considered it for a moment. He realized that he didn't meet either of these criteria. As an orphan, he had nothing to do with wealth and status. His predecessor's academic performance was barely passable, and he probably wouldn't have been good enough for a university, let alone be an outstanding student.

He popped the egg into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and continued, "Uncle, besides these two methods, are there any others?"

"There used to be martial arts. I heard that after breaking through the first limit in martial arts, one could enter the inner city. But now it's the age of guns and cannons. Although martial arts can't be said to have declined, it's no longer the only one that stands out. I heard that in recent years only a very small number of people have entered the inner city through this channel."

Xiao Wang listened, thinking that if he wanted to enter the inner city, it seemed that he had no other choice but to do so.

"Uncle, Auntie, I want to go to the martial arts academy."
