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

Time flew by, and it was already 7 p.m. the next day.

Shen Chang'an and his three friends gathered downstairs at the dormitory on time.

Ji Lin was much more normal today. He no longer wore his eye-catching ancient-style robe, but instead changed into a black hoodie and cargo pants with letters printed on them.

"Let's go and see the young talents of Shanghai."

The four of them walked along the main road of the campus toward Auditorium No. 1.

Before they even reached the door, a chaotic and undisguised surge of spiritual energy swept out of the hall, as if forming an invisible layer of boiling water in the air.

Shen Chang'an raised an eyebrow.

Upon entering, one finds that the large auditorium, which can accommodate two thousand people, is already more than half full.

In this setting filled with young troublemakers from the Night Town Division, everyone tacitly shed the disguise they usually wore when lurking among ordinary people, and unleashed their spiritual pressure without any restraint!

His eyes closed slightly, and his immense perception instantly covered the entire area.

"Most of them are at the peak of the first realm or the early stage of the second realm... there are very few at the third realm."

In those few seconds that he sensed it, Li Xiwan and Bai Yin beside him also noticed the strangeness in the room.

Li Xiwan's face paled slightly: "Such a strong sense of oppression..."

Shen Chang'an's gaze swept towards the small, prime central area of ​​the auditorium, which offered an excellent view and location.

Several groups of people sat there, all small cliques centered around experts at the third realm. These young people at the third realm all looked arrogant, like lions surveying their territory, ruthlessly excluding the freshmen at the first and second realms.

"Tsk."

Shen Chang'an sneered and muttered under his breath.

"It's only the second day of school, and they haven't even had a class yet, and they're already rushing to divide students into different classes?"

He turned to Ji Lin beside him and nudged him with his shoulder: "Release your peak third realm aura, be a little more arrogant. Let's go sit in the middle section, might as well."

Ji Lin was taken aback, then tapped his palm with his folding fan and complained, "Big brother, what are you doing pretending to be low-key when you're a fifth-realm expert? Just release your aura, and these people will kneel down and sing 'Conquer' for you on the spot! Why should I be the one to stick my neck out!"

Shen Chang'an retorted confidently, "Isn't it because my aura is a bit intimidating? I'm afraid that if I release it, the glass in this auditorium will shatter, and then we'll have to pay compensation. Who knows how much it will cost to purchase these assets that are centrally procured by the organization? What if we can't afford to pay for them?"

Ji Lin thought about it and realized that what he said made some sense.

"Alright, watch this young master's moves."

Ji Lin took a deep breath, and the incomparably sharp spiritual power of the peak of the third realm instantly erupted from his body.

He held his head high and puffed out his chest, leading the way like a proud peacock.

Feeling the powerful pressure from the peak of the third realm, the freshmen who were originally crowded around the central area changed their expressions and scattered to the sides like a tide.

Even the few troublemakers in the early stages of the third realm frowned and silently looked away after sensing Ji Lin's aura, choosing not to confront him head-on.

Shen Chang'an and his three companions swaggered over to the best seats in the middle and sat down.

As time went by, the auditorium was soon completely full.

Bored, Shen Chang'an tapped the armrest with his fingers, confirming once again the number of high-level combatants in the arena: there were approximately one hundred and twenty-three at the third realm.

"They're all around eighteen years old and at the third realm..."

Shen Chang'an sighed inwardly.

Indeed, heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. And these are only the 1,400-plus young people transferred from within the Night Watch Division. You must know that there are more than 20,000 cultivators from various sects and top families in this city of Shanghai.

Just then, the lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, leaving only a spotlight shining on the stage.

A tall figure walked up the steps to the standing microphone.

It was Zhou Nianci, the group leader of the large group.

Shen Chang'an looked up.

The woman on the stage was wearing a well-tailored dark gray women's suit, with a pencil skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and black stilettos.

She wore frameless glasses on her nose, her face was beautiful and aloof, and she exuded a strong intellectual and scholarly air. However, her figure was so good that it was almost unfair, making the suit look breathtakingly curvaceous.

However, before the group of energetic freshmen below could even start whistling...

Zhou Nianci adjusted his glasses, his originally gentle gaze instantly turning sharp, and the spiritual pressure of the peak of the fourth realm crashed down on the entire scene like a tangible giant wave!

"Put away your petty scheming and your outward display of spiritual power."

"What? You just arrived in Shanghai and you're already starting to claim territory, compete in size, and refuse to submit to anyone, huh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surging spiritual energy fluctuations throughout the auditorium instantly ceased, like a rooster being choked.

All the new students obediently held their breath, and the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing that the scene had been calmed down, Zhou Nianci withdrew her spiritual pressure, opened the folder in her hand, and began to read out the boring rules and regulations for the evening.

"There are many cultivators at Shanghai University, and ordinary students will eventually come into contact with this level. Therefore, the first ironclad rule is: anyone is strictly prohibited from using supernatural powers to bully ordinary students. Once discovered, their cultivation will be immediately abolished and they will be expelled from the Night Guard."

"Article Two: If cultivators have personal grudges or disagreements? Sure, the school has a special spiritual energy training ground. Sign a waiver and go in to fight! If you engage in unauthorized fighting or damage public property in the dormitory area or teaching building, the compensation will be deducted ten times from your contribution points!"

What followed was a half-hour of tedious formalities, such as dormitory access control, credit acquisition, attendance in theoretical classes, etc., which made the people below drowsy. Shen Chang'an even yawned three times in a row.

"Wake up, let's get down to business."

Zhou Nianci tapped the blackboard.

Regarding the division of majors.

"Besides your officially recognized majors, everyone within the Night Town Division must choose their practical training specialization within three days. These are mainly divided into two categories: physical combat and magic. These are further subdivided into melee combat, heavy firepower suppression, elemental destruction, formation support, and so on."

Zhou Nianci adjusted his glasses and offered a realistic piece of advice: "My personal advice is that if you are a top-tier genius with exceptional talent, I suggest you develop in all aspects, try your best to make up for your weaknesses, and don't leave any obvious fatal flaws; but if your talent is limited, then go all the way down this path! Choose the area you are best at and do it to the extreme! In future team battles, as long as you can demonstrate your irreplaceable value, you will survive."

"There's one last thing, and it's the most important thing."

"During your four years of university, I hope that each of you can find teammates you can trust as soon as possible and form a regular team."

Zhou Nianci's voice echoed in the auditorium, carrying a hint of heaviness:

"You are all elites drawn from all over the country. Perhaps you think that you were already doing great as a lamplighter in your hometown branch, killing those low-level monsters that roamed around."

"But I'm telling you, that's just child's play. It's the easiest job for the Night Watchers."

"You haven't seen the true cruelty of this world, nor the terrifying things that the Night Guard is truly suppressing with their lives."
