I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

After saying that, he waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.

"Alright, training room number 3 over there is yours now. Go and do whatever you want."

"Don't bother me while I'm drinking."

As the elevator doors slowly closed, isolating the suffocating smell of alcohol and malevolent energy on the fifth basement level, Afei let out a long breath.

He patted his chest dramatically, his lingering fear seeming genuine.

"Damn it, every time I see that old monster, I feel like I've been stripped naked and thrown into an ice cellar."

Afei wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Shen Tian.

"Bro, you actually dared to stare at him for so long? He's a werewolf."

Shen Tian remained calm and straightened his cuffs.

"He's very strong."

"powerful?"

The usually taciturn Reggae suddenly spoke, his voice deep and resonant, as if it had been sanded.

"That's not a question of whether it's strong or not."

"That's perverted."

Reggae pressed the button for the basement level, and the elevator began to ascend smoothly.

"Shen Tian, ​​although you are a mentalist with an astonishingly high talent, even Old Chen bows and scrapes to you."

"But talent really doesn't work against that old monster Wang Meng."

Reggae turned around, his usually half-closed eyes staring intently at Shen Tian, ​​a rare sight for him.

"Take my advice, don't rush into that assessment."

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"Is it difficult?"

"Disaster?"

Ah Fei let out a strange cry, as if he had heard a joke.

"That's like hell mode!"

The elevator doors opened with a ding.

The three walked out of Building No. 1; it was already late at night.

The night sky over Jiangcheng was dyed an eerie purplish-red by neon lights, and the occasional wail of a police siren could be heard in the distance.

The air here is much fresher than underground, with a faint scent of grass.

The accommodation area for the Pogun Division is located behind the branch building.

In such a prime location where land is incredibly valuable, having such a living environment speaks volumes about the status of members of the Po Jun Si (破军司).

Walking on the cobblestone path, Afei pointed to his rather handsome face.

"Look at my face, isn't it handsome?"

Shen Tian glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Two years ago, when I first joined the Po Jun Division, I was even more handsome than I am now."

Ah Fei was lost in some unbearable memories, and the muscles in his face twitched slightly.

"Back then, I was full of confidence and thought I was a genius, a mid-stage first-tier expert."

"At the time, I was also arrogant and proud. The day after I got the equipment, I went to Wang Meng for an assessment."

At this point, Afei stopped and subconsciously touched his ribs.

"And the result?"

Shen Tian asked a question.

"result?"

Reggae, standing nearby, sneered and took over the conversation for Fei.

"As a result, he stayed in bed for a full two weeks."

"Three ribs were broken, his left leg was comminuted fractured, and even his face was swollen like a pig's head. Even his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

Afei scratched his head awkwardly but didn't refute it.

"That old monster really went all out."

He said he would fight me using only one hand and even suppressing his cultivation level.

"As a result, I was sent flying with just the first move."

Ah Fei made an exaggerated gesture.

"It really flew out and stuck to the wall like a tattered sack, and you couldn't even pry it off."

"I only managed to withstand one move."

"That's only because he saw that I was a newcomer and held back; otherwise, I would have been killed on the spot."

Shen Tian nodded thoughtfully.

Afei is at the late stage of Tier 1. Although his talent is not as good as mine now, he is definitely not a weakling.

Can't even withstand a single move?

"And what about me?"

Reggae pointed to his muscular, bear-like physique.

"As you know, I've taken the hard-hitting approach, so I'm tough and resilient."

"When I took the exam back then, I was already a late-stage first-tier martial artist."

"I thought to myself, if I can't beat them, I can at least defend, right?"

"If you can withstand ten moves, you win."

Reggae took a deep breath, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"As a result, my defense was broken by the fourth move."

"The feeling was like being hit head-on by a speeding armored vehicle."

"The internal organs are all shifting."

"It took me a month to recover in the medical pod."

The two of them talked back and forth, revealing all the painful experiences they had gone through back then.

There is only one purpose.

To scare Shen Tian.

Or rather, it's about protecting Shen Tian.

They didn't want this promising newcomer to be discouraged and ruined by a momentary impulse.

After all, Wang Meng was not only good at destroying the body, but also at destroying the will.

Before they knew it, the three of them had arrived in front of a building.

This building has an excellent location, backing onto an artificial lake and offering a wide view.

"We've arrived. This is the accommodation area."

Reggae stopped and took out an electronic key from his pocket, tossing it to Shen Tian.

"Team Leader Lin specially reserved this for you; it's one of the best houses in this area."

Shen Tian took the key.

Thanks.

Don't just thank me verbally.

Afei came over, patted Shen Tian on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

Seriously, brother, take my advice.

Now that you have obtained the "Great Sun Body Tempering Technique," you should start practicing it diligently.

"Although this technique is difficult to master, its effects are truly amazing."

"Once you break through to the peak of the first tier, with your talent, it won't be too late to challenge Wang Meng."

"Anyway, the Po Jun Division didn't specify when the assessment had to be passed."

"We have plenty of time. Even if it drags on for six months or a year, no one will say anything."

Reggae nodded in agreement.

"That's right."

"Let's play it safe for now and lay a solid foundation."

"It's not too late to go after you've mastered the 'Breaking Army Saber Technique'."

Seeing the two people's concerned eyes, Shen Tian's heart stirred slightly.

Although these two seem a bit unreliable, they genuinely consider each other comrades.

It's not bad to feel cared for like this.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Shen Tian smiled faintly, offering no further explanation.

"Okay, as long as you know what you're doing."

"We've arrived. This is our doghouse."

Ah Fei grinned.

Calling it a "doghouse" is an insult to the word.

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.

This place is even more luxurious than the most luxurious five-star hotel in Jiangcheng.

"Stop staring blankly, you'll be living here from now on."

Reggae patted Shen Tian on the shoulder and led him into the hall.

The hall was not as noisy as I had imagined. The floor was covered with expensive sound-absorbing carpet, and the air was filled with a faint scent of pine.

Several round cleaning robots glided silently in the corner.

"Building B, Room 1606, this is your room."

Reggae pointed in the direction of the elevator.

"Ah Fei and I live right next door. Feel free to knock if you need anything."

After saying goodbye to the two, Shen Tian took the elevator upstairs alone.

Swipe your card and open the door.

Although he was mentally prepared, Shen Tian still couldn't help but whistle in his heart when he saw the whole room.

This is a studio apartment that is over 100 square meters.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows occupy an entire wall, offering a panoramic view of the city's nightscape.

The central air conditioning system blows out fresh air at a constant temperature, and the gentle voice of the smart home assistant sounds the moment you enter:

"Welcome home, Mr. Shen Tian. The indoor temperature has been adjusted to a comfortable 24 degrees Celsius, and hot water is ready."

Shen Tian walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the stream of cars below, which looked like ants.

Just a few days ago, he was still huddled in that dilapidated low-rent room, which was only a dozen square meters in size, with peeling paint and leaks when it rained.

Now, it's so quiet here that you can only hear your own heartbeat.

"Is this the world of martial artists...?"
