My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 76 Human Heart
Huang Tian did not entirely believe Bai Yuanfu's claim that the county and town guards were all behind him.

No matter how united the Zhenwu Guard is, it is ultimately made up of people. And as long as it is made up of people, each of them will have their own thoughts. Bai Yuanfu cherishes his talent and therefore protects him, but others may not. It is likely that many people are secretly watching him, wanting to find out his secrets. However, they are all just minor ailments.

Because they can't keep up with their own growth rate...

As Xia Hong walked out of Bai Yuanfu's office, he said with great emotion, "Huang Tian, ​​I never imagined that you would become a trial centurion in just one month. It's really... When I think back on it now, it all feels like a dream!"

Just a month ago, when Xia Hong went to the Huang residence, Huang Tian was still a servant boy who was bullied by everyone and had never even been exposed to martial arts. But a month later, his status, position and strength were worlds apart.

"People say that a great man should be able to transform into a dragon or a snake, but there are very few who can actually rise to power. Most people are like earthworms in the soil, barely able to see the light, let alone transform into a dragon."

After a few words of reflection, his expression gradually became serious, and he instructed, "Being given a real post is a good thing; it's a valuable experience. Those who don't undergo such experiences can hardly become true strongmen."

However, you must be extra careful. Even though Baoqingfang is the heart of our town's martial guard and difficult for sect forces to reach, you must still be vigilant when you patrol there.

Handle strange occurrences with caution and report them promptly. Do not act rashly or blindly, lest you become a victim of others.

Huang Tian knew that he was worried that the sect forces would secretly harm him. Well, it might not be just the sect forces... Often, the most deadly attacks come from behind, which is when you can't guard against them at all.

"Thank you for your guidance, Commander. I understand."

"Good, good." Xia Hong smiled. "Baoqingfang is one of the neighborhoods under my jurisdiction. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."

As a commander of the Zhenwu Guard, and one of the strongest commanders, Xia Hong was in charge of the six wards of the East City, one of which was Baoqing Ward. In other words, from this moment on, Xia Hong was Huang Tian's direct superior in the true sense.

"Thank you, Commander."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Xia Hong laughed heartily, gave a few more instructions, and then presented the congratulatory gift he had prepared before leaving.

Huang Tian looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had already set and the night was deepening.

"I probably won't be able to stay in the library for long now; I'll go tomorrow."

Thinking this, he first went to the registering room to register his new position and received the official robes and waist token of the trial centurion, and then went straight to Qinghui Garden.

Once home, after eating and taking the blood-clotting pill, while the medicine was still in effect, he leisurely began practicing the Cloud Dragon Stance.

This time, however, while practicing the Cloud Dragon Stance and Thunder Sound Body Tempering, he also released the "switch" of his will.

Instantly, countless voices of all colors pierced through the void and flooded into his ears.

He already knew that a normal voice is colorless, a voice that transcends the world is golden, a voice that is close and familiar to him is blue when people mention him, and a voice that is extremely hateful and wants to kill him is black when people mention him.

Most of these voices are colorless, some are blue, and only a few are black.

Huang Tian began reading from the black voice, his gaze piercing through time and space, and images appeared before him.

First to appear was Huang Jian, his teeth clenched in anger, followed by Huang Rui, who was still lying in bed, his eyes filled with hatred, muttering something under his breath.

It's not surprising that these two wanted to kill him, but what's surprising is the other person.

He Xu!

However, the tone connecting He Xu's voice wasn't black, but a deep gray, indicating that while he deeply loathed Huang Tian, ​​he hadn't yet reached the point of wanting to kill him. Wei Xue, Room 32, Building B.

The burly He Xu leaned against the headboard, his expression shifting between envy, fear, and ferocity.

"He's broken through again! He's broken through again!"

He clenched his fists tightly, making a cracking sound. "In just one month, he became a seventh-grade martial artist, while I still haven't even mastered the basics. How unfair is fate to me! We're both the same kind of person, so why is he so much stronger than me?! Why!"

Today, the news that Huang Tian went to the government office to register and update his cultivation level swept through the entire Zhenwu Guard like a hurricane, and the martial arts students in the Guard School naturally heard about it as well.

Everyone was astonished. After the initial surprise came envy, admiration, and even a secret resentment.

The people who harbored resentment were naturally Huang Jian, Huang Rui, and He Xu, who was secretly ostracized by some people. In fact, it wasn't necessarily that many martial arts performers ostracized He Xu, but rather that he was overly sensitive.

He felt that the martial arts performers around him were laughing at him. He hadn't seized the opportunity to get closer to Huang Tian by sharing a room with him, and instead, he had developed a sordid relationship with him, which made him feel like a clown.

It was this mentality that made him increasingly silent and eager to develop his strength as soon as possible so that he could finally hold his head high. However, the more you rush something, the harder it becomes. He was stuck at the threshold of developing his strength, feeling like he was dying. In addition, the news of Huang Tian's continuous breakthroughs caused his mentality to completely become unbalanced, and hatred grew in his heart.

"Jealousy is poison..."

Shaking his head, Huang Tian disconnected the screen, finished looking at all the black lines, and then looked at the several blue lines.

Having only been in this world for a month, he didn't have many close or familiar people, so his blue voice was rarely heard.

Looking over one by one, they found that it was Aunt Qin, Heng'er, Instructor Xu, Liu Kuo, Xia Hong and others talking about him.

"Ok?"

Huang Tian's gaze lingered on a picture.

In an elegant room, Bai Yuanfu, dressed in a crimson brocade robe, was speaking to a middle-aged man with a short beard and shrewd eyes: "Nie Kun, Huang Tian is a rare talent in our Zhenwu Guard, one that only appears once every few decades. He will surely be hated by the sects, so I want you to protect him secretly for a period of time."

The middle-aged man named Nie Kun seemed to be deep in thought. "Huang Tian, ​​is that the young man who often comes to the library?"

Bai Yuanfu smiled and said, "It's him. Didn't you see him once in the library?"

But this Nie Kun was the one who guarded the second floor of the library.

Nie Kun nodded slightly: "I have met him once, but I didn't see anything particularly remarkable about him at the time. I never expected his talent to be so extraordinary."

"What do you think? Are you willing to protect him for a while?"

“That works too. I’ve been staying in the library for a while now, it’s good to get some exercise,” Nie Kun said. “But what about the library…”

Bai Yuanfu said, "It's alright. I will arrange for someone else to go in a few days. Besides, the library is inside my government office. Not many people would dare to sneak in. There's no need for a fifth-rank martial artist like you to guard it. In addition, Elder Guan is still on the third floor. There's no need to worry."

"That's no problem."

The two then exchanged a few more words before Nie Kun took his leave, leaving Bai Yuanfu alone in the room. He murmured to himself, "Nie Kun alone isn't enough; it would be best to find another person to ensure everything is in order..."

His words revealed his intention to find two fifth-rank martial artists, equivalent to a thousand-household commander, to secretly protect Huang Tian!
