Being forced to grow like a pig? But I'm immune to the consequences!

……

Everyone took turns being tested, and the results were quickly released.

Zhang Yong announced the final results: "Tu Nan, Yan Liang, Zhang Lin, and Wu Sheng have broken through to the fourth level of Body Tempering. Their talents are outstanding, and they can go to the inner city for further training."

Mo Han, Mei Chao, and others, having broken through to the third level of Body Tempering, can join the Hyena Gang and contribute to the stability of the outer city.

The rest of you, unfortunately, can only return to where you came from.

When the results were announced, some were happy and some were sad. The happy ones were naturally Tu Nan and the others, while the sad ones were the students who had not even reached the third level of Body Tempering.

These people had their heads down, looking dejected.

Guo Hui comforted him, "Don't be too discouraged if you haven't broken through to the third level. The second level of Body Tempering is already far beyond that of ordinary people, and you can handle most jobs in the outer city. Besides, you have already learned yoga, and you can continue to practice it in the future. If you break through to the third level one day, you might be able to strive for the position of the head of the settlement."

Despite Guo Hui's words, everyone's hearts remained heavy. If cultivation was this slow even with potential-enhancing drugs and ample food at the training camp, it would only be more difficult after leaving.

Besides, the food for this past month was scraped together by my family through frugality. After leaving, I'll have to work and earn a living; where will I find the time for cultivation?

However, Guo Hui's words about the "group leader" still rekindled hope for some people.

Although the position of the head of the gang is not as prestigious as that of the Hyena Gang, it is still a respectable position in the outer city, at least enough to make the family's life more comfortable.

"Now, you can pack your bags and leave. Also, those who have reached the third level of Body Tempering, come with me; there are some things I need to explain."

……

Inside the office, Wu Sheng and the others stood still.

Guo Hui sat down and said earnestly, "You are among the more talented students in this group. As your instructor, we haven't developed a deep bond over the past month, but I feel it's necessary to offer a few words of advice."

Those who reach the third level of Body Tempering will be assigned to Hyena Gang outposts in other regions. As newcomers, you must be humble and respectful to your seniors in new places.

But there's no need to worry too much. The Hyena Gang are all from the same settlement, so you might run into a relative.

There's another thing, which can also be considered a deal: you're going to other areas outside the city, but your family will stay here. It would be very inconvenient for you to take care of them, so I can help look after them.

Of course, this is on the condition that if you are assigned to the same settlement as my family, you will also have to help take care of them.

Mohan and the others nodded repeatedly.

"no problem."

"Don't worry, Master Guo."

Guo Hui nodded slightly and looked at Wu Sheng and the other three.

"As for the four of you who are going to the inner city..."

"You must understand that the inner city is different from the outer city; there you will encounter true nobles. Be sure to be careful with your words and actions."

When meeting nobles, maintain a distance, bow, and avoid direct eye contact. Address older nobles as "Master" or "Madam," and younger nobles as "Young Master" or "Young Miss."

If you accidentally offend a nobleman, you'll be in big trouble.

In the eyes of the nobility, those below the level of martial artists are like roadside trash.

Yan Liang then asked, "Master Guo, will the training method be the same after we enter the inner city?"

Guo Hui said, "The method should be similar, but the timeframe is uncertain, though it usually doesn't exceed six months."

Cola Novels: turn the page and you're in another world.

He added, "You have four days to prepare, after which you will all board a boat and be escorted to the inner city by hyenas."

In addition, all four of you have broken through to the fourth level of Body Tempering, and according to the rules, your respective settlements are entitled to tax reductions.

Registration can be completed within the next two days at the Hyena Gang.

"You've confessed everything you needed to; you can go back now."

After saying that, he waved for everyone to leave.

But then something suddenly came to mind:

"Oh, and one more thing. If you encounter any suspicious individuals in the next few days, be sure to report it immediately."

The group paused in their tracks.

"A suspicious person?"

Guo Hui explained: "Cult members. A group of people who specialize in disrupting the stability of Yangon. You used to live in the lower classes and generally wouldn't have come into contact with them."

However, some time ago, something happened at a gang's headquarters in a certain area. A member of the gang killed several members of his group at night and also broke into the instructors' dormitory to launch a surprise attack, but escaped after the attempt failed.

An arrest warrant has been issued in the inner city. However, during the pursuit, they encountered obstruction from cult members.

Unsurprisingly, the student had been lured into joining the cult.

In recent years, cults have indeed shown a trend of infiltrating new members; you must be very careful.

Some people are puzzled:

"Why did the student commit murder? Was he an undercover agent planted by the cult?"

Guo Hui shook his head: "No. It is said that the instructors at the training camp mismanaged and behaved improperly, causing the student to suffer injustice for a long time. The student later showed his talent, but he endured it without making a move until he broke through to the fourth level of Body Tempering, at which point he took advantage of the night to strike."

At this point, Guo Hui sighed helplessly:

"Because of this, we teachers have also been implicated and are being investigated in the inner city these days."

In short, be careful, avoid contact with cults, and don't be misled by their words. Ignore everything they say. Otherwise, if the inner city finds out, you'll face certain death.

Besides, you have families.

"Hey guys, how about we go out for a nice meal to celebrate?"

Yan Liang made the suggestion with a beaming smile, his gaze lingering on Tu Nan, Zhang Lin, and the others. Wu Sheng and Mo Han ignored him and turned to leave.

Tu Nan also declined, saying, "Maybe next time, I have to go back first."

Several other trainees who were also going to join the Hyena Gang were somewhat tempted. In their view, they were all "graduating" at the same time and had all stood out from the crowd, so now was the perfect time to build relationships and pave the way for the future.

Seeing this, Yan Liang immediately put his arm around Tu Nan's shoulder enthusiastically: "Tu Nan, don't be a spoilsport! We still have three days, it doesn't matter if we go back a day earlier or later! After all, we'll be scattered all over the place, and it will be hard to get together again!"

The others chimed in, "Yeah, Tu Nan, let's go together!" "Let's make it a gathering for the most important people in our group."

Tu Nan wasn't good at firmly refusing, but seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he hesitated for a moment before finally nodding: "...Alright then."

Wu Sheng and Mo Han did not immediately return to their dormitory to pack their bags, but instead went to find Pasa first.

Inside Passa's office.

"Passa-senpai." The two greeted each other and briefly explained the final result.

"Not bad, one is at the third level of Body Tempering, and the other is at the fourth level." Pasa was quite satisfied and looked at Mohan, "From now on, we will be colleagues."

Mohan scratched his head sheepishly.

Pasa then turned to Wu Sheng, his eyes filled with obvious expectation: "Congratulations, Wu Sheng. Now that you've entered the inner city, with your talent and temperament, you have a chance to become a martial artist."

"Thanks to your care these past few days, senior," Wu Sheng said sincerely.

"Hey, I just treated you guys to a few meals, it's nothing." Pasa waved his hand, his tone frank. "When you really become a martial artist, I might have to rely on you for guidance."
