After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"And the power comes from the hip position."

The close-combat teacher reached out and drew a triangle between his legs.

"Start exerting force from this point, using the power of your lower body."

The close-combat teacher stood still, twisted his body, and then threw a punch. With this punch, the ten-ton sandbag shook violently.

Zhou Yan didn't understand it, but he thought it was very impressive.

The close-combat teacher patted the sandbag.

"Xiao Zhou, you try it, I'll teach you how to exert force."

Zhou Yan walked up to the sandbag, pulled back his fist, and then threw a punch.

The instructor, who was in close combat, watched and gave Zhou Yan pointers.

On the other side of the indoor training field.

Several boys and girls stood together after the training camp, their eyes glancing towards the spot where Zhou Yan was doing one-on-one training.

A young woman with well-proportioned muscles and an extremely fit physique asked her best friend.

"Is this the newly enrolled Awakened One?"

The other students responded with chatter.

"Yes, yes, it seems like they set up a special classroom with a dedicated teacher to guide students."

"This level of training is too high! What level of Awakened One is he?"

"At the very least, they must be at the demon level. Even if they aren't, their status must be quite high. Perhaps their elders in the family have demon-level strength."

"Hey, do you guys think a guy like that has a girlfriend?"

"Don't even think about touching her, you're just a demon. Do you think she'd even look at you?"

The world of the Awakened is a class society. They look down on ordinary people and there are extremely strict class distinctions among them. The fact that Zhou Yan can be taught one-on-one by teachers from the Vermilion Bird Academy makes most of the students in the Awakened Academy who can do whatever they want outside feel that they are not good enough for him.

After Zhou Yan had sparred for a few rounds, his close-combat instructor suddenly shouted.

"Wang Yang, come here!"

A handsome young man dressed in white approached the close combat instructor.

The close-combat teacher pointed at Zhou Yan.

"Wang Yang, you teach this child."

As he spoke, the close-combat teacher looked at Zhou Yan.

"Xiao Zhou, this is my eldest disciple, who is best at teaching beginners."

Zhou Yan nodded in understanding. It was definitely better to be taught by someone of the same or even higher level. Half an hour had passed, and Zhou Yan still couldn't learn how to generate power.

The close-combat teacher stepped aside, and a handsome boy named Wang Yang walked up to Zhou Yan and then reached out his hand.

"Junior, you're doing this..."

Wang Yang pressed down on Zhou Yan's shoulder, making Zhou Yan assume a horse stance. Then, he mirrored Zhou Yan's posture, turned around, and slowly threw a punch, which landed on the sandbag.

The sandbag swayed slightly; Wang Yang's strength was not as great as his teacher's.

Wang Yang gave Zhou Yan a simple and honest smile.

"Junior, follow my method and twist your body to throw a punch."

Zhou Yan twisted his body in the same way as this person and threw a punch. This time, Zhou Yan threw three punches, one of which was delivered with force.

Wang Yang patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder.

"Very good, junior. Now practice slowly according to the method I gave you. Once you can generate force with every three punches, I will teach you other techniques for neutralizing force and receiving force."

Zhou Yan nodded to Wang Yang.

"Thank you."

Wang Yang scratched his head, the boy looking somewhat shy.

"You're too kind, junior."

Zhou Yan smiled, continued to practice his horse stance, and twisted his body to throw a punch.

Chapter Eleven: Even the Rich Have Distant Relatives

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

After finishing his training, Zhou Yan walked out of the indoor training room. Several awakened students were standing outside the door. The young man who was closest to him, who looked quite cheerful, smiled when he saw Zhou Yan come out.

"Hello, my name is……"

Zhou Yan bypassed the young man, and when the other interested individuals came forward, Zhou Yan let them pass one by one.

Seeing that Zhou Yan had made way, these people didn't bother him and simply let him leave.

Zhou Yan got into his family's car outside the school.

The new driver was taciturn. After Zhou Yan got in, he didn't say a word and quietly drove Zhou Yan back to the government family compound.

However, when they arrived in front of Zhou Yan's house, Zhou Yan saw several cars parked in front of his house and suddenly shouted.

"Wait a minute, stop the car!"

The driver stopped the car, and Zhou Yan got out and walked to his own wall. The young man closed his eyes.

A series of playful noises came from inside the house.

"I've known for a long time that our Xiaoyan is a good kid, very capable, and very good."

The voice sounds like that of an uncommon relative.

If I calculate the time, I've only been here for two or three days, and my relatives have already come knocking on my door.

"Xiao Yan (Zhou Yan's mother's nickname), where is Xiao Yan? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Old Zhou, let me tell you, I recently closed a deal that's really good. Why don't you call your kid out and come with me to meet the investors?"

"Um, Uncle, this isn't quite right..."

"What's not good!"

A roar.

"Do you even know why your Xiao Yan was able to become an Awakened One? It was all thanks to my daily prayers and fervent pleas for him to achieve this. Without me, your Xiao Yan wouldn't be the way he is now!"

Zhou Yan: "..."

It's not hard to understand, is it? When someone in the family becomes successful, especially a younger generation, it's only natural for these uncles and elders to want to come and freeload some money. If you go in later, you'll probably be surrounded by relatives asking for money, being asked to meet people, and some might even ask you to find a job for some distant relative.

Zhou Yan took out his phone and sent a message to his parents.

"Something came up at school, so I won't be coming home for dinner."

Zhou Yan returned to his own car.

"Go back to school."

The driver looked at Zhou Yan with a puzzled expression, but didn't ask anything. He simply drove away from the city and returned to Suzaku Academy.

Zhou Yan got off the bus at the foot of a teaching building in the college. He was about to apply for a dormitory room when he suddenly saw the man who had previously instructed him in close combat, Wang Yang, who looked very honest, walking over with a bruised and swollen face.

"Get closer," Zhou Yan said in surprise.

"Senior Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Yang, who was covering his face, trembled as if he had been frightened. However, when he saw that it was Zhou Yan who was speaking, the man's expression softened considerably.

Wang Yang pursed his lips and said bitterly.

"I was beaten by Zhao Yuan."

After a pause, Wang Yang said weakly.

"Junior, a genius with such superior bloodline probably doesn't understand, right? We Awakened Ones who can't even beat a pistol in our entire lives are actually punching bags among Awakened Ones."

Zhou Yan's heart stirred, and the young man stared at Wang Yang.

As we all know, one person's power is limited, but the power of the masses is limitless. Therefore, if we find these awakened individuals who are suffering from class oppression and provide them with methods to transcend their limits, we can achieve great things.

Can I build a powerful team of awakened individuals who can stand with me against the rampant actions of other awakened individuals?

There's no need to be afraid of these guys rebelling. I am Bai Ze. If these guys are well-behaved, that's fine. But if they dare to act recklessly in front of me, I can just take them down with one claw.

Wang Yang, whose face was bruised and swollen, rubbed his nose.

"That's all for now, junior. I'm going to relax a bit. I'll teach you how to neutralize internal energy tomorrow."

Zhou Yan nodded.

"Okay, take care, senior."

Wang Yang gradually drifted away.

We can't rush this team building process. We'll wait until we've found the right people and then pick them one by one.

So, who should we choose?

Zhou Yan wasn't in a hurry to find a dormitory. The young man headed towards the cafeteria, thinking that if he just wandered around the cafeteria, he would probably find the person he was looking for.

However, to Zhou Yan's disappointment, there were not many people in the cafeteria. After walking around, all he saw were Awakened students who were not very well-known.

Just as Zhou Yan walked out of the cafeteria, the Chongming bird Chongba cried out as it fell from the sky, landed on Zhou Yan's shoulder, and pointed in a direction.

"Croak! Croak! Croak!"

A banner is pulled out next to the head of the Chongming bird.

Something bad has happened over there.

Zhou Yan's spirits jolted. Could it be that an evil spirit had emerged?

Wouldn't that increase my own awakening level?
