After visiting the Eternal Warehouse in the North District and the shopping mall in the West District, the group walked along the dark gold stone path to the training ground in the South District.

"Haha! It's my turf now!"

Feng Gang, who hadn't really gotten a word in edgewise the whole way, suddenly perked up.

Feng Gang turned around, his rugged face full of excitement and pride, and began to introduce himself to Shen Lesheng:

"This is our training ground. There are several individual training rooms inside."

"And this separate room is the gravity training room."

As he spoke, Feng Gang pushed open the door to the gravity training room.

"Inside, the gravitational field can be freely adjusted between 1 and 20 times!"

As Feng Gang spoke, he skillfully tapped a few times on the control panel: "Training under gravity can rapidly improve physical strength!"

"Come on, feel the force of gravity!"

As he spoke, Feng Gang directly adjusted the gravity multiplier to "5 times".

"Buzz—!"

An invisible gravitational field instantly enveloped the entire area.

The air seemed to freeze and become several times heavier at that moment, and a sudden, enormous downward pressure shot straight to my shoulders!

Shen Lesheng's legs suddenly tensed, and he was almost forced to his knees by the sudden sense of pressure.

"Haha! How was it? Wasn't that fun?"

Feng Gang walked on flat ground as if under five times the force of gravity, and laughed heartily.

"Come on, let me show you the regular training room."

As they were talking, Feng Gang led Shen Lesheng into one of the training rooms.

The walls of the room are made of sound-absorbing and earthquake-resistant materials, and a doll with a metallic sheen stands in the center.

"See this doll?"

Feng Gang walked over to the doll and patted its frame, making a loud thud. "Although it looks unremarkable, this doll has the ability to regenerate infinitely. No matter if you're A-rank or S-rank, no matter how much damage you do, the doll can return to its original state within seconds!"

Shen Lesheng looked at the strange test doll, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Human flesh, capable of withstanding damage and instantly regenerating, is a sacred place for any awakened being to hone their abilities.

The visit is over.

Feng Gang rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining as he stared at Shen Lesheng.

"Brother, you're an A-level Awakened."

"How about... we have a little spar? Let me see the abilities of an A-rank elemental awakener!"

Zheng Qiang and Wen Xiaoxiao, who were standing nearby, also looked on with anticipation upon hearing this.

Shen Lesheng looked at the eager Feng Gang and shrugged somewhat awkwardly.

"A friendly exchange is fine."

Shen Lesheng glanced at the metal-structured room around him, somewhat troubled: "But my ability is to manipulate sand. However, there isn't even a single grain of sand here, so it's difficult for me to use it."

"Oh! I thought it was something serious. Sand, right? Easy!"

Feng Gang slapped his thigh, turned around, and ran out of the training room: "Wait for me for five minutes. I'll get it for you right away!"

……

Five minutes later.

Heavy, hurried footsteps approached from afar in the corridor.

"Clang!"

Feng Gang carried a large wooden barrel, about half his height, into the training room and slammed it heavily onto the hard alloy floor.

The dull thud echoed in the empty room, even causing the floor to tremble slightly.

"Brother, is this enough?" Feng Gang patted the dust off his hands, his rugged face full of barely suppressed fighting spirit.

Shen Lesheng stared intently.

The wooden bucket was filled to the brim with sand.

Shen Lesheng felt a sudden headache coming on, and his brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

His earlier statement about the lack of sand was merely an excuse to shirk responsibility.

To everyone's surprise, Feng Gang actually took it seriously and managed to get a large bucket of it in just a few minutes.

Judging from this situation, a battle today is inevitable.

That's enough.

Shen Lesheng nodded and slowly walked to the center of the training field.

As he stood still, the awkwardness that had belonged to a poor college student vanished, replaced by the calmness and indifference of an A-level awakened person.

A vast and arid spiritual wave quietly rippled outwards from Shen Lesheng.

"Shh...shh..."

The yellow sand in the large barrel not far away seemed to come alive, suddenly trembling violently.

next moment.

Tens of thousands of fine yellow sands broke free from the constraints of gravity and flowed upstream from the wooden barrel, like a golden sand snake, spiraling and flying towards Shen Lesheng.

The sand whistled and swirled, gathering and floating around him without any wind, making him appear as if he were the master of the desert.

Seeing this, Feng Gang's fighting spirit surged, and his muscles tensed even more.

Seeing the two men spread out, Zheng Qiang and Wen Xiaoxiao consciously retreated to the edge of the training field.

"Old Feng, stop here, don't ruin the harmony," Zheng Qiang said loudly, arms crossed.

One is a close-combat powerhouse, and the other is a newly awakened A-grade weapon of mass destruction. If they can't control themselves, it would be bad if they accidentally hurt either of them.

Wen Xiaoxiao stood on the sidelines, her big eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. She tugged at Zheng Qiang's sleeve and turned to whisper, "Brother Zheng, who do you think will win?"

Zheng Qiang stared at the field and made a brief analysis: "In terms of level, Shen Lesheng is A-level, completely defeating Lao Feng."

"But Shen Lesheng has only just awakened, and his control over his abilities and practical experience are far inferior to Lao Feng's. The odds of winning for both sides... are about 50/50."

In the center of the field.

Feng Gang bent his knees slightly, assuming a fighting stance.

"Hey bro, watch out!"

The words fell.

Feng Gang's blood and qi surged, and a domineering and fierce heat wave burst forth from his body.

A layer of illusory red flames instantly ignited on the surface of his fists, and he charged towards Shen Lesheng like a derailed heavy tank.

"Raging Sun Fist!"

Feng Gang roared, and a powerful burst of blood and qi erupted around him.

The intense heat distorted the surrounding air, creating a howling gale, and a powerful straight punch was aimed straight at Shen Lesheng's face!

Faced with this devastating blow that could split mountains and shatter rocks, Shen Lesheng remained calm, his pupils filled with serenity.

A massive surge of spiritual energy responded like a tidal wave.

"rise."

He uttered a single, cold word.

The quicksand floating around him seemed to come alive, and with a series of rapid whooshing sounds, it instantly gathered and tightened forward, forming a golden sand wall more than half a meter thick and as solid as rock.

"boom!"

Feng Gang's heavy punch slammed into the sand wall, producing a dull, thunderous boom.

The extremely high temperature instantly melted the sand grains at the point of impact into a crystal-clear, mottled glass, emitting a hissing, burning sound.

However, the immense impact force, the moment it pierced the sand wall, was silently dismantled and dispersed by the thousands of high-speed flowing fine sand particles, and finally vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

The attack failed, but Feng Gang's fighting spirit was completely ignited.

He left a trail of afterimages under his feet, his body quickly sliding to the side, using the momentum to avoid the front of the sand wall, and circled around to Shen Lesheng's blind spot. His fists turned into a sky full of scorching afterimages, and he blasted out one after another like a storm!

"Break it!"

The wind howled as the fist struck, and blood and qi surged.

However, Shen Lesheng had long since mastered the control of the sand.

He casually placed his left hand behind his back, and with his right hand, he slightly joined two fingers together, and waved it lightly in the air as he pleased.

"Splash—!"

The surrounding yellow sand, moving with the fingertips, flowed and reorganized like a dragon playing in water, within a small space.

Sometimes it transforms into a perfectly curved, thick shield to deflect an unstoppable punch.

Sometimes it transforms into layers of golden sand waves, completely enveloping and swallowing all the fierce punches.

The fire of qi and blood and the high-temperature glass shards flew everywhere, but they could not cross the flowing golden sand defense line even a fraction of an inch.

No matter how fierce and aggressive Feng Gang's attacks were, Shen Lesheng stood with his hands behind his back the whole time, without even moving his feet half a step.

After several tens of minutes of intense attack.

Feng Gang was exhausted and stopped moving, panting heavily.

"No more fighting...no more fighting!"

Feng Gang waved his hand, dispelling the flames of qi and blood on his fists. Looking at Shen Lesheng, who wasn't even out of breath, he exclaimed, "A-level abilities are indeed monstrous. Your sand wall defense is practically flawless."

Feng Gang is a straightforward person, and he is open and honest even when he loses.

He knew in his heart that Shen Lesheng had been on the defensive and was obviously deliberately letting him win.

Given the opponent's ability to manipulate flying sand, if they had switched from defense to offense, I probably would have lost long ago.

"You're too kind."

Shen Lesheng flipped his hand, and the sand floating in mid-air instantly lost its power, falling back into the wooden bucket.

Zheng Qiang and Wen Xiaoxiao walked forward from the edge.

Zheng Qiang commented rationally:

"A-level natural elementalists do have a natural advantage in controlling their physical body. However, what's rare is your extremely precise manipulation of energy, Lao Shen. Just now, when you were defending, you only solidified the sand the instant you were hit, without wasting a single bit of physical or mental energy. This composure is unlike that of a newly awakened rookie."

Listening to his companions' sincere praise and analysis, Shen Lesheng's originally cold expression relaxed considerably, and a long-lost warmth welled up in his heart.

In college, he faced the ruthless trampling and cold stares of his rich second-generation roommates, but in this mysterious organization, worldly filth and social status were discarded, and only trust and recognition among companions existed.

"You flatter me, everyone. I will need your guidance in the future," Shen Lesheng said softly.

"Haha, we're all brothers, no need to be so polite!" Feng Gang put his arm around Shen Lesheng's shoulder. "Come on, the rehearsal's almost over, I'll take you to our lounge area for a stroll, and we can grab something to eat while we're at it..."

Feng Gang's words were cut short as he spoke.

It wasn't just him.

Zheng Qiang and Wen Xiaoxiao, who were standing nearby, also stopped moving at almost the same time.

The three of them acted in unison, taking out a metal card that emitted a faint silver glow.

Shen Lesheng was somewhat bewildered by the sudden movements of the three people in front of him and their slightly unfocused pupils.

What's going on here??

They were chatting and laughing just a moment ago, how did they suddenly become like this?

He didn't dare to disturb them rashly and could only stand aside and wait quietly.

【Dawn Chat Group】—

[Su Yu (Lord of Dawn): @Qin Xinran, you can come to headquarters now.]

[Qin Xinran (Shadow Overlord): Received, I'm on my way!]

[Wen Xiaoxiao (Healing Brilliance): @Qin Xinran, Sister Qin, what happened? (Confused.jpg)]

[Zheng Qiang (Mechanical Brain Domain): Has President Qin's identity in reality been exposed?]

[Qin Xinran (Shadow Overlord): No, not at all. It's just that the leader is taking us to capture a high-level vengeful ghost today, and he asked me to come and assemble early.]

[Feng Gang (Blazing Yang Qi): Containing a high-level vengeful ghost? Really?!]

[Su Yu (Lord of Dawn): @All members, please stay home this afternoon. I'll take you to contain a Rank D vengeful ghost later, and let you experience the combat strength of a high-ranking vengeful ghost.]

[Zheng Qiang (Mechanical Brain Domain): Received!]

[Wen Xiaoxiao (Healing Brilliance): Received! (Well-behaved.jpg)]

[Feng Gang (Blazing Yang Qi): Hahahaha... A high-level vengeful ghost! I can't wait!]

【…】

Then I left the chat group.

Inside the training room, Zheng Qiang and the other two, who had been at a standstill, all came to their senses.

"What were you doing just now...?" Shen Lesheng looked at the three people who had returned to normal, his eyes full of confusion.

"Don't worry, we just entered the organization's chat group."

As he spoke, Zheng Qiang raised his hand and showed Shen Lesheng the metal card in his palm.

The front of the card is printed with the words "Dawn" in dark gold, while the back is engraved with intricate and profound star trail patterns, radiating a special kind of fluctuation that defies the laws of physics.

"This card is the key to access the chat group."

"Chat groups can ignore interference and blocking, allowing people to communicate anytime, anywhere."

After a pause, Zheng Qiang continued, "Just now, the boss gave us the latest instructions in the group chat."

"Instructions? What happened?" Shen Lesheng pressed.

Zheng Qiang's expression turned serious: "The boss informed us that everyone should stay at headquarters this afternoon to await orders. He will personally lead a team to contain a Class D vengeful ghost."

"A vengeful ghost?"

Shen Lesheng frowned slightly.

Although he had awakened powerful supernatural abilities, his understanding of this strange world that was about to descend remained at the literal level.

"Have you ever fought against vengeful ghosts? Just how strong are those monsters?" Shen Lesheng asked Feng Gang.

Upon hearing this question, Feng Gang's excitement subsided, replaced by a hint of lingering fear.

"Brother, those vengeful ghosts are really weird."

Feng Gang patted Shen Lesheng on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "A couple of days ago, the boss sent us to deal with an F-level vengeful ghost—Red Shoes."

"That thing kills without any logic; it relies on rules."

Wen Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, also shrank her neck. Recalling that scene, she still felt scared.

Feng Gang continued, "The rule for that red shoe is that you're not allowed to look down at your feet, and you have to stay still or keep stepping to the rhythm after hearing the tapping sound. I broke the rules. Guess what happened?"

Shen Lesheng stared at him without saying a word.

Feng Gang pointed to his legs, "An invisible force snapped both my legs in the opposite direction, shattering all the bones. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao, I'd probably still be in the hospital bed recovering right now."

Zheng Qiang pushed up his nose and added, "The rules for F-level vengeful ghosts are relatively simple; careful observation will reveal the flaws. But the boss is taking us to face a D-level vengeful ghost today."

"The difference in rank means that the completeness of the rules and the mortality rate will increase exponentially."

After listening to the three people's stories.

The arrogance that Shen Lesheng had felt from obtaining A-level power vanished completely.

It lacks logic.

Violating the rules will trigger this event.

This unseen and intangible method of killing sent chills down his spine.

He finally understood why these three people with extraordinary powers were so wary when it came to ghosts.

At the same time, he became even more curious about the "Dawn Leader" whom he had never met.

It can make these powerful awakened ones follow.

To use the containment of such a Class D vengeful ghost as "practical training" is unimaginable... Just how powerful is that leader!
