Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

"cannot!"

In the training ground, Zhou An looked at the many martial arts school disciples who had gathered there, and couldn't help but recall what Uncle Fu from the pharmacy had said earlier.

"The techniques for reaching the supernatural realm are only available from the City Defense Division and the Inner City, and to join the City Defense Division..."

Thinking of this, Zhou An's gaze involuntarily turned to Guo Tao in the audience.

This senior brother suddenly returned from the city defense bureau just before he was about to take up his post, so he certainly wouldn't joke about that matter.

Therefore, if this opportunity is missed, the path to the Divine Power realm within the City Defense Division may very well be cut off.

Is this really the case?

Without the talent provided by numerous martial arts schools, how can the City Defense Division replenish its manpower when it faces a shortage of personnel?

There is too little information.

Zhou An frowned slightly, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Fang Xu not far away.

"The time has come."

Just as Zhou An was pondering whether he should try to recruit Fang Xu into the city defense department after Guo Tao's return, a solemn bell rang out.

"Today is the day my disciples from Zhengyang Martial Arts School begin their official duties. I am extremely grateful to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and witness this ceremony."

The auspicious time has now arrived. Please take your seats in turn to observe the ceremony.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou An saw Xu Tai, the head of the martial arts school, step forward from the crowd.

"Forget it, let's get through this first."

Zhou An was too lazy to think about things he couldn't understand anymore.

With his current cultivation level, he is not qualified to join the City Defense Division even if he wanted to.

"Zhou An, let's start with you."

Just then, Xu Tai's voice came from the stage again.

"Your disciple obeys."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward under the gaze of all the disciples.

"Go on, hurry up and go on stage to perform. The better you perform, the more likely your senior brother will notice you."

At that time, we will enter the bottomless pit of the City Defense Bureau.

In the crowd, Feng Ping looked at Zhou An as he walked onto the stage. After glancing at Guo Tao, his eyes showed a hint of urgency and anticipation.

Even the three inner disciples who had been with Fang Xu earlier no longer felt jealous of having their opportunity snatched away first.

Under their persistent questioning, they learned from Fang Xu that the city defense department had recently suffered a significant loss of manpower.

According to past practice, whenever the city defense department loses manpower, it will draw manpower from various martial arts schools.

Although Zhou An's cultivation level was only at the Blood Refining Realm, he had not yet reached the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm.

However, it is not unprecedented for a blood-training martial artist to be promoted when there is a shortage of manpower.

In this way...

"It's not easy for a Blood Cultivation Warrior to survive in the City Defense Division, where they constantly face demons."

Thinking of this, a hint of pleasure appeared in Feng Ping's eyes.

Although he had no intention of killing this junior brother, he would be happy to see the other party suffer misfortune.

"Master Xu, I wonder if this temporary appointment ceremony could be changed?"

Just then, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out from the audience.

"So it's Steward Dai. I wonder what you mean by 'change'?"

Xu Tai frowned almost imperceptibly as he looked at Zhou An, who had just stepped onto the stage.

"In the past, during the temporary appointment conferences, the disciples of the sects would go on stage to demonstrate their boxing skills, and then each sect would give invitations based on their own judgment."

However, my Shunfeng Escort Agency has just received a large order and urgently needs to replenish its manpower.

Under the gaze of the crowd, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and a goatee stood up and spoke from the audience seats displaying the Shunfeng Escort Agency flag.

"So this time, Mr. Dai just said it directly."

Next, my Shunfeng Escort Agency will send a senior Blood Refining Warrior.

If Master Xu's disciple can withstand thirty moves from him, my Shunfeng Escort Agency can directly extend an invitation for him to serve as a formal escort.

Not only would they provide three catties of rhinoceros meat each month, but they would also receive a 20% bonus for each escort mission.

"A formal bodyguard position, three catties of rhinoceros meat, and a 20% bonus?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Zhengyang Martial Arts School were immediately stunned.

Shunfeng Escort Agency is one of the most famous escort agencies in the outer city, known for its smooth journey and guaranteed mission success.

A formal bodyguard can earn as much as 21 taels of silver per month.

"This guy is just too lucky."

Looking at Zhou An, Feng Ping, and the three inner disciples who had previously followed Fang Xu on the stage, they immediately felt envious.

As per usual practice, these inner disciples would sign up to go on stage, perform the Tiger Subduing Fist once, and then patiently wait for invitations from various merchants.

But now...

Given this situation of taking up a post through martial arts competition, even if Senior Brother Guo Tao wanted to recruit him to the City Defense Division, he might not be able to succeed.

"Damn it, this bastard is so lucky."

It was one thing for him to become an inner disciple for the first time and run into the young master of the Chen family business, who then asked his master to teach him swordsmanship ahead of time.

How could something like this happen at the official meeting for this temporary appointment?

Feng Ping was completely numb.

He had originally intended to watch Zhou An suffer, but now...

"Zhou An, what do you think?"

From his seat, Xu Tai glanced at Dai Qing of Shunfeng Escort Agency and then spoke to Zhou An on the martial arts stage.

"If you are unwilling to accept this invitation, you may step back first, and I will have other disciples come forward."

After all, you only entered the Blood Refining Realm yesterday. Even if you retreat now, no one will look down on you.

"Disciple Zhou An is willing to accept this martial arts competition for the position."

Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhou An glanced at the merchants on the stage before finally fixing his gaze on Dai Qing of Shunfeng Escort Agency, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"As expected of a martial artist from Zhengyang Martial Arts School, you certainly have guts."

Seeing this, Dai Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and then spoke to one of the bodyguards behind him.

"Erhu, why don't you go up and weigh this esteemed disciple of Master Xu? Remember to go easy on him."

By the end, Dai Qing's tone had become more serious.

Just started training blood yesterday?

He didn't know whether this Master Xu did it on purpose or intentionally.

Although he set conditions on short notice, which violated the usual rules for temporary assignments, he also offered generous terms.

But this is not an excuse for the other party to openly look down on their Shunfeng Escort Agency.

The martial arts school's moves are just for show, they haven't been tested in real combat, and they were just learned yesterday... It's a joke that they think they can last thirty moves against the guards from their escort agency.

Does Zhengyang Martial Arts School really think that just because it's affiliated with the Chen family business, it can act arrogantly?

"Shunfeng Escort Agency, Chen Erhu".

On the martial arts stage, a burly bodyguard who stepped out from behind Dai Qing bowed and spoke, a hint of mockery flashing deep in his eyes.

Having worked under Dai Qing for many years, he naturally sensed the annoyance in his boss's words.

"interesting."

In the audience, the merchants exchanged glances before looking at the two on stage, their eyes filled with amusement at the spectacle.

"Zhou An from Zhengyang Martial Arts School, please enlighten me."

On the martial arts stage, Zhou An ignored the many mixed gazes from the audience and spoke directly.
