High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

The atmosphere in the training ground became much more relaxed after Baiyin interrupted them like that.

Old Zhao chuckled and shook his head, then beckoned to Bai Yin: "Alright, stop complaining. Xiao Bai, come over here and demonstrate the demon race's combat style to Xi Wan, let her experience the difference between different systems."

"Demon race?"

Upon hearing those two words, Li Xiwan's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the sweet-looking Bai Yin. In her subconscious, demons were all those terrifying monsters with blue faces and fangs from last night.

"Yes, she is from the Spirit Cat clan."

Old Zhao took the opportunity to do some popular science.

"Our world is not black and white; humans and demons often coexist. As long as they don't do evil in human society, the Night Guard might even recruit some demons with clean backgrounds and gentle personalities as allies. Now that you've entered this circle, you'll definitely come into contact with all sorts of demons frequently, so you need to get used to it in advance."

"Oh, I see..." Li Xiwan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Look closely, newbie here!"

The instant Li Xiwan turned her head, Bai Yin, who had been sitting on a bench more than ten meters away, suddenly vanished from the spot in an instant!

"So fast!"

Li Xiwan only felt a blur before her eyes, not even catching a fleeting afterimage, when a gentle breeze carrying a faint scent of shower gel blew in from behind her.

Immediately afterwards, a fluffy, soft, snow-white cat tail, like a flexible rope, silently wrapped around her waist.

"ah!"

Before Li Xiwan could react, the tail gently tugged backward. She instantly lost her balance and fell backward, landing precisely in a soft and warm embrace.

Bai Yin hugged her from behind, her fluffy cat ears rubbing against Li Xiwan's cheek, and she chuckled as she breathed into her ear, "What demons excel at most is their innate physical abilities. For example, our spirit cat clan's main principle is 'In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that can't be broken!'"

"Wow...it's so fast..."

Li Xiwan leaned against Bai Yin's chest, stunned. In that instant, she hadn't even had time to feel fear before she was completely overwhelmed.

If this were an enemy, I probably wouldn't even know how I died.

"Hehe, you're scared already?"

Bai Yin considerately helped Li Xiwan stand up straight. Then, the little cat demon's big eyes darted around, its gaze cunningly locking onto Shen Chang'an, who was standing aside watching the show.

"Whoosh!"

A soft popping sound echoed in the air again.

Bai Yin transformed into a white lightning bolt and appeared directly in front of Shen Chang'an. She used the same trick again, whipping out her white cat tail in an attempt to wrap around Shen Chang'an's waist.

However, when facing Shen Chang'an, who was at the fifth level, this little trick was clearer than slow motion.

Shen Chang'an didn't even lift his eyelids, nor did he move an inch. He simply raised his hand casually.

"Smack."

Shen Chang'an's large, powerful hand, as if catching a baseball in mid-air, directly grabbed Bai Yin's fluffy little head, freezing her firmly in mid-air.

"Ouch! Let go! Let go! My head's going to get crushed!"

One second the cat demon was incredibly cool, the next it was like a kitten whose fate had been grabbed by the scruff of its neck, its two hands futilely clawing at Shen Chang'an's wrists in mid-air, its two fair legs kicking wildly in mid-air.

Seeing her comical appearance, Shen Chang'an chuckled and let go of her hand.

With a "thump," Baiyin landed steadily on both feet.

As soon as she landed, the little cat demon angrily rushed forward, hands on her hips, head tilted back, arguing with Shen Chang'an: "The script shouldn't be like this! You should have panicked and gotten tangled in my tail, then collapsed weakly into my arms!"

"With your tiny frame, you think you can catch me falling into your arms? Do you even think you can hold me?"

Shen Chang'an, annoyed, curled his finger and gave her another sharp tap on the forehead.

"What kind of nonsense is going on in my head all day long?"

"Waaah—"

Bai Yin, clutching her throbbing forehead, was completely enraged. She bared her two cute little fangs at Shen Chang'an and let out a fierce, threatening cat growl:

"ha--!"

Looking at the little cat demon's cute yet fierce appearance, Shen Chang'an sighed helplessly, reached out, and placed his hand on Bai Yin's head.

His long, slender fingers ran through Bai Yin's smooth, short hair, skillfully kneading the base of her two fluffy cat ears.

"..."

Bai Yin, who was frantically hissing and threatening just a second ago, visibly stiffened for a moment. Then, the fierce expression on her face melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her eyes narrowed comfortably into slits, her fluffy cat ears fell down obediently with Shen Chang'an's movements, and she let out a comfortable "purring...purring..." sound from her throat. She even rubbed her head against Shen Chang'an's palm.

It looks exactly like a house cat that has just been petted and stroked.

While skillfully petting the cat, Shen Chang'an turned to Li Xiwan, who was staring in disbelief, and explained, "See? After transforming into human form, demons still retain a large portion of their animal instincts and habits. If you ever make this little cat angry, don't try to reason with her. Just stroke her fur a few times, and she'll calm down on her own."

"..."

Li Xiwan stared blankly as the expert who had been moving with lightning speed just moments before was now enjoying himself in Shen Chang'an's hands, making "snoring" sounds. She could only nod in disbelief, feeling that her understanding of the world had been completely overturned once again.

After a while of commotion, Old Zhao clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back, and began to arrange the next important matters.

"Alright, that's all for the science lesson for now."

Old Zhao walked up to Li Xiwan, his expression regaining its director-like authority: "Xiwan, you'll be staying in the branch's dormitory for the next few days. I'll personally teach you how to perform regular Qi Induction cultivation. Before you reach the first realm, the Spirit Awakening Realm, the bureau will never assign you any dangerous combat missions. Your primary task right now is only one—to build a solid foundation."

Old Zhao paused, his tone softening slightly: "Also, there's only a little over a week left until your college entrance exam. These next few days, your focus during the day should still be on reviewing and preparing for the exam; you can cultivate at night. Even if you decide to enter the cultivation world, try your best to finish the secular college entrance exam, just to give your years of hard work a perfect ending. I've already made arrangements with the school; you can go back to class anytime."

"I understand, Uncle Zhao. I will try my best!"

Li Xiwan nodded solemnly.
