As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

As the owl moved in, the hummingbird members gradually left, and the training room became quiet.

Shen Qing checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock. So he stopped training and went to the cafeteria for dinner.

In the corridor, intermittent complaints could still be heard in the distance, clearly related to Night Owl's attitude today.

Shen Qing didn't linger and walked straight towards the cafeteria.

When I got back, it was already 9 p.m. The training room was usually empty, let alone today.

While still in the corridor, he heard a series of low, thumping sounds coming from the training room.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Shen Qing paused, standing at the door and looking towards the training room. A figure wearing a military green vest was continuously throwing punches at the solid iron pillar in front of him.

It is Fang Shu, Fangdui.

However, the power and speed of those punches didn't seem like training at all; it was more like venting. The iron pillar was already covered with dense, fresh fist marks.

Upon hearing footsteps, Fang Shu instinctively turned around.

"team leader."

Shen Qing greeted him.

"It's you."

Fang Shu stopped what he was doing, grabbed a towel from the shelf next to him, wiped his sweat, and walked over. "Why aren't you home yet at this hour?"

"I live alone, so it's fine for me to go back whenever I want," Shen Qing said casually.

The reason he was called Captain Fang Shu was because when he first joined the official team, Fang Shu had not yet gone out on missions, and it was the other party who led him through basic training a few days ago.

Xie Chong was just his partner; whether on patrol or on a mission, they always had to work in pairs.

Fang Shu was taken aback upon hearing this. Thinking of Shen Qing's information, he felt a little embarrassed and was about to change the subject.

"Captain, your mission this time..."

Shen Qing hesitated for a moment before asking the question that had been bothering her.

What kind of mission could cause more than a dozen key E-level personnel to be injured, some even critically wounded and on the verge of death?

Even though they are on routine patrols, the probability of encountering extraordinary events is not very high.

At least for this week, apart from the little devil at the beginning and the current series of events, he hasn't encountered a third one.

"And then there's Night Owl and his gang."

Shen Qing frowned. "Their attitude... won't concentrating all the elites in one place lead to an imbalance within the departments?"

Fang Shu shook his head and casually draped the towel around his neck. "Yes, of course! Isn't that obvious? You probably saw it just now."

Shen Qing was even more puzzled upon hearing this, "Then why..."

"Because we don't have enough manpower," Fang Shu interrupted him, his tone somewhat helpless. "There are some special tasks that require us to concentrate our efforts to solve."

That's why the Night Owl department exists, but it has also led to some new recruits becoming arrogant after gaining power.

He sighed. "This is a headache not only for us, but also for the leader of Night Owl's team."

Although there is ideological guidance, it's not something that can be achieved overnight.

A group of young men in their twenties, and even teenagers, suddenly realize that they are different from ordinary people. Coupled with the preferential treatment in resources, how could they not become arrogant?

"Sigh, if only someone could curb their arrogance."

As Fang was speaking, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

He knew he was joking; the Night Owls were an elite force, and apart from the old men, where could he find anyone to keep them in check?

If the elderly were to take action, they would ultimately only outwardly comply but inwardly disagree.

"Forget about that," Fang Shu waved his hand. "I heard from Xie Chong that you single-handedly killed a tree demon on your very first mission?"

A small team consists of six or seven people, and as the captain, he naturally pays attention to each member.

For a newcomer who hasn't even been officially promoted to a full-fledged position to be able to hunt monsters on his own, putting aside everything else, his ability to learn and his performance in actual combat are truly exceptional.

"It wasn't exactly alone..." Shen Qing was about to explain.

"Come on, perfect timing," Fang Shu interrupted, stretching his wrists. "It's been a few days, let me see your strength."

He extended his right hand and beckoned with his finger.

Shen Qing was stunned, and a strange sense of déjà vu washed over him—he had just competed with Xie Chong that morning, and now the team captain had changed again?

However, Xie Chong is not on the same level as the captain at all.

As far as he knew, his captain had already broken through to E-level three or four months ago, but he had only been training for a week. Even with the help of the affixes, he probably couldn't possibly be a match for him.

"Alright, then please go easy on him, Captain." Shen Qing did not refuse.

The two did not step onto the ring; they started fighting on the spot.

This time, Shen Qing decided to make the first move.

The two were only three meters apart, and he sprinted to Fang Shu's side in one go.

Fang Shu's innate ability is also physical, but it's not an enhancement. Shen Qing doesn't know the specifics and needs to test it out.

"What courage! They actually dared to take the initiative."

Fang Shu stood still, seemingly full of flaws, but could easily lift his hand.

"Bang!"

Fists collided with arms, and a gust of wind spread outward from the two of them. A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Shu's eyes.

"Your strength..."

Although he held back, a newcomer could still make him feel some resistance. Those supernatural beings who had just broken through to the E level were probably only at this level.

The two continued fighting, with Shen Qing intensifying his attacks while explaining, "I made a breakthrough yesterday."

Also, Captain, I feel that my ability isn't just a simple increase in strength, but a comprehensive enhancement of my entire physique, and the amplification effect might even become stronger as my strength increases.

His strength has grown too fast; he needs to patch himself up, which is also a preparation for him to use his full strength next time.

Shen Qing's punches became faster and faster, leaving shadows of his fists, and the force of his punches increased.

Even so, Fang Shu easily blocked every one of his attacks, as if Fang Shu had blocked an impenetrable wall of copper and iron, without any effect whatsoever.

"Great, really great."

Fang Shu's eyes were filled with increasing surprise. After blocking the last punch, he took a half step back.

Shen Qing withdrew his hand, took a breath, and said, "Captain, I admit defeat."

The opponent didn't use any of his innate abilities from beginning to end. This complete suppression of his strength proves that the opponent is much stronger than him.

"Haha, you lost?"

Fang Shu smiled and shook his head, "You can't really call this a loss. I've been cultivating for a year now, and you've only been cultivating for a short time."

He looked at the force gauge, raised his chin, and said, "Come on, let's see how much punching power you have now."

Shen Qing nodded, walked to the force measuring device, took a deep breath, exerted force from his waist, and swung his right fist out with a loud whistling sound.

"Bang!"

The numbers on the screen jumped a few times before finally settling on four digits.

1008 kg.

He's broken through the one-ton mark! In less than a day, Shen Qing's strength has already exceeded the F-level limit.

The enhancement of Xuanjia's physique is not only reflected in its defense; as the body becomes stronger, its power will also increase.

In addition to the boost from innate abilities, it is only at the mid-stage of the ninth rank that one can reach this level.

For a moment, Shen Qing was somewhat surprised by his current strength.
