Voidward District, United Power Heavy Industries Company Building. In an office on the 31st floor of the Company, Zhao Qian held a glass in his hand, slowly sipping the drink inside, gazing out from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The interior was filled with contemporary decor, brimming with the dull reflections of metal and ubiquitous fluorescent embellishments, a stark and somber grayness punctuated by intense bursts of light. Rainwater streamed down the glass curtain wall, reflecting his figure. He was in his early twenties, with a slender, 1.98-meter frame, dressed in a well-tailored imported formal wear. His eyes were slightly narrow, his face handsome and aloof, and his grayish-white hair was neatly combed upward. There were faint Embedded lines on his cheeks and neck, the marks of embedded Boundary Tokens. These custom-made Boundary Tokens, for which he had paid a hefty price, were almost integrated with his body, capable of being repaired by his own tissues. They would not cause any hindrance during Martial Combat and could effectively prevent internal shielding against Resonator attacks. He looked ahead at a massive, dim building that seemed like a void compared to the brightly lit neon areas surrounding it, like a dead monster standing in the rainy night. That was the original Headquarters of Molan Company. The exterior walls were shaped like closing petals, with long, curved lines extending to the top. He had been there, and there was a passage known as the High Ridge Sky Ladder, a passage exclusive to the Company's chief and directors, which could directly lead from the top parking platform to the Company's underground area. That place had once radiated blinding light, but now it was all gone. The former Molan had withered and declined. Its valuable assets, including the entire Building, had been confiscated by the Great Shun Government, and its external market had been filled and divided by other Companies. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In fact, according to the files disclosed after the fact, since the Active Consciousness Entity that Molan Company had just cultivated was destroyed forty-three years ago, it meant that this Company could never be among the top enterprises. The subsequent attacks were merely extensions and follow-ups to that initial assault. Although Molan's Company was unwilling to perish and struggled desperately to prolong its life, it was eventually torn apart and devoured. When he first came to Central City, he discovered Molan Company's plight, so he joined United Power Heavy Industries Company early on and secretly transferred some of the Zhao Family's business to Central City. What remained in Wuyi was the family's business in cooperation with Molan Company, which was unavoidable. He did not explain the situation of Molan Company to his family at the time, because even if Molan Company was in decline, it would still be very easy to manipulate the Zhao Family. He couldn't bring himself to say it, so he could only secretly make some preparations and get ashore in time before the ship sank. Facts proved him right. Because he had cut ties with Molan Company relatively early, he was not implicated. However, he was, after all, a member of the Zhao Family, and while he had gained some benefits, it had also brought him some trouble. Investigations from the Government and questioning from the Company followed one after another, which forced him to use his connections and money to settle things. Dealing with these matters had consumed most of his energy during this time, but fortunately, it was almost handled now. He rarely had the leisure to enjoy his favorite "Pure Blood" drink here. This special drink could make his Mutated Tissue more active and keep him in a good mood. At this moment, an internal communication came through the Boundary Token. He answered it and asked, "What is it?" "Young Master, a Data has been sent from the Mysterious Palace Tower, you may need to take a look." "Send it over." Zhao Qian picked up the glass and took a sip. A student Data appeared on the screen in front of him. He looked at the name, and his pupils contracted involuntarily. He remembered very clearly that this student played a key role in the entire process of destroying the Mutual Aid Society and Molan Company. That day, Wei Jun called him for help, but the people he Commissioned were stopped halfway. After that, the Mutual Aid Society was wiped out, the family and Company were seized by the Government, Molan Company was destroyed, and a series of other events occurred. Afterwards, he believed that this student was likely a pawn of the Great Shun Government, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence to participate in it and even seem to have promoted the whole thing. He had previously learned that this student had obtained a spot to come to the Central City Headquarters, but he was busy with his own affairs before and had no time or energy to pay attention to it. But now that it was in front of him, his good mood was immediately ruined. He read it line by line, and his brows gradually furrowed. When he saw the end, his expression became a little unsightly, because it showed that the Third Limit assessment was "eighty-one percent"! Eighty-one percent... His eyes turned cold. The assessment of numerical values may not be able to fully represent the reality, but the lower limit can be guaranteed. There is roughly no doubt that this level has entered the Third Limit. Once he reaches the same level as him, he can do a lot of things. If this student thinks things are not over, or some people think things are not over, then... He realized that he couldn't do nothing at this time. Even if he didn't pay attention to it, could he guarantee that this student wouldn't come to him? Would this student believe that he had no thoughts about him? Impossible, the destruction of the Zhao Family and the Mutual Aid Society destined that one of them must fall. It is better to nip the enemy in the bud when they are weak, rather than waiting for them to become strong before facing them. He was very decisive and immediately used the Boundary Token to enter the platform of the Secret Serpent Cult, reaching a page that only internal members were qualification to enter, and directly expressed his intentions. "I need to apply for a cleaning business." He planned to directly hire a Secret Serpent Cult assassin to solve Chen Chuan . This was the simplest and most direct way. Any meticulously planned plan was false. It would only give that student enough time to grow. An application form immediately appeared on the screen in front of him, and a voice reminded him to fill in the task target and the task Data he knew below. Zhao Qian immediately filled in the Data he had just received about Chen Chuan , but he hesitated about the previous speculation about Chen Chuan "s background, but did not write it in. After filling it out, he submitted it. After a while, the voice sounded again: "We have received your submission Data. Do you have a preferred cleaner? If not, the platform can recommend one to you based on your target and your financial situation." Zhao Qian said in a deep voice: "I designate the cleaner "Phantom Shape' to perform this business." This cleaner's methods are very strange and also Gao Ming , and the most important thing is that there has not been a single failure in the business he has performed so far. "The platform has accepted your application. We have already sent a business inquiry to the cleaner "Phantom Shape' and will reply to you within forty-eight hours. Please wait patiently." Inside the Mysterious Palace Tower, Chen Chuan rested in his dormitory for a day after the second assessment to allow his overexerted Mutated Tissue to recover and also to fully absorb the nutrition of Precious Paste. The next day, just as he was about to go out, the Academy sent an inquiry: "Chen Chuan student , in view of the fact that your Skills have reached the Academy's requirements in the Academy's assessment, would you like to take the Examination in advance?" He thought about it and refused first. Examination results are recorded at one time and also involve Evaluation points. In terms of Skills, he feels that there is still a lot he needs to learn, so he can wait a little longer. After leaving the Mysterious Palace Tower, he came to Teacher Zheng "s place. As soon as they met, Teacher Zheng looked at him and said with certainty: "Chen student , you have improved compared to before." Chen Chuan was slightly surprised. Teacher Zheng smiled and said: "This is just my feeling, a Martial Artist "s intuition, which is sometimes very useful." Chen Chuan "s mind turned. It should be that he had improved again after fighting Hong Fu , but he had been improving these days, and his own feeling was not obvious. Speaking of which, Hong Fu is the best sparring partner, because no matter how much you improve, no matter what Skills you use, she can compete with you. Not only do you not have to worry about getting hurt, but you can also improve with your improvement. So the assessment is not just an assessment, but also a good training opportunity, but this kind of opportunity is only available three times after entering the school, which is likely to consume some of the Academy's resources. Teacher Zheng said a few words to him and then took him to the training ground. Zheng Tongtong was already waiting there. He said: "Today we will start practical combat training. You and Tongtong will have a fight first, and then decide on the next training points based on your on-the-spot situation." Chen Chuan said he understood. He drew out the Snow Emperor Blade, came to the middle of the field and stood still, cupping his fist at Zheng Tongtong and saying, "Senior, please advise." Zheng Tongtong cupped her fist in return and said cheerfully, "Okay, Junior, be careful too." Chen Chuan looked at the knife in Zheng Tongtong "s hand. This time, the latter was holding a horizontal knife, which must be the knife she is best at using. Because it is a real battle, this time Zheng Tongtong will not stand still, and should be able to freely display her true Strength. After he took a few steps back, he nodded to her and took the initiative to attack, sending out a knife. This move was not fast, mainly used for testing. Zheng Tongtong wrapped around, deflecting the blade. The blades of both sides separated as soon as they touched lightly. The Strength of each other was restrained, or only part of the Internal energy was placed outside, while the other part of the Internal energy was hidden and not released. After seeing this, Teacher Zheng "s eyes lit up. He saw Chen Chuan "s Internal energy usage method, which was to divide the Mutated Tissue into two sets for alternate use. This was the Skills he was going to teach Chen Chuan next, but obviously he had realized it himself before he taught Chen Chuan , which gave him a surprise. But there are also tricks in it, which require knowing how to restrain and protect one's Breathing Technique and cooperate with the Internal energy Skills between conversions. He could see that Chen Chuan was now completely relying on his higher physical fitness to bear the involvement of Internal energy, which was very easy to get injured. He did not stop it, because he could stop the training at any time if there was a problem, and this level of injury could also be quickly restored with Drugs, and after this result appeared, the understanding and memory would undoubtedly be more profound.
