Lin Qiye:〣(oΔo)〣

"I have a question."

"You say it," Wen Qimo said, looking at Gu Tianchen.

"Why doesn't Leng Xuan, a PhD in law, become a mage and instead an archer?" Gu Tianchen asked.

Wen Qimo: (||?_?)

“First of all, people who study law are called lawyers, not mages. Secondly, Leng Xuan doesn’t have the forbidden realm, so he can’t be a mage.” Wen Qimo said speechlessly.

"Alright, you two, stop interrupting. The captain said he's waiting for you at the training ground."

"Where is the training ground?" Lin Qiye asked Wen Qimo.

"Gu Tianchen has been there; you should go with him."

Gu Tianchen led Lin Qiye all the way to the end of the corridor.

The space inside is as big as three football fields!

Lin Qiye looked shocked. "How...did they do that?"

Gu Tianchen smiled slightly, "I asked Sister Hongying last time, and she said it was created by the owner of an earth-type forbidden ruin."

In the center of the training ground, Chen Muye, who was meditating cross-legged, waved to the two of them.

"Your documents for joining the Night's Watch have been issued. If you want to see them, go to the archives. As for your swords, cloaks, and emblems, they will be issued when you participate in the training camp."

"Use this knife for now."

Chen Muye handed Lin Qiye a straight knife.

Lin Qiye took it and saw three characters engraved on the hilt: Zhao Kongcheng.

"This is……"

“Old Zhao’s knife, you are the child he chose, so his knife will be entrusted to you for safekeeping,” Chen Muye said.

Lin Qiye nodded solemnly.

"This is your weapon."

Chen Muye handed a Han sword with a light blue blade to Gu Tianchen.

Gu Tianchen took the Han sword, under which were engraved three words: Wu Xiangnan.

"The vice-captain's sword?"

“He doesn’t need this sword right now, so I’m entrusting it to you for safekeeping. He said he’ll personally confront you if you lose it,” Chen Muye said.

"Don't worry, Captain, I won't lose it."

“Very good,” Chen Muye took two wooden swords from the weapon rack. “There is still a month before the training camp. During this time, we will give you two new recruits some simple training.”

"Practice swordsmanship with me in the morning, train with Wen Qimo on how to use the Forbidden Ruins in the afternoon, and do shooting training with Leng Xuan in the evening."

"Enough with the nonsense, let's begin training. You two, come at me together."

Chen Muye brandished two wooden swords in his hands.

Lin Qiye looked bewildered. "Captain, we have the real thing in our hands."

"It doesn't matter, the result is..."

Before Chen Muye could finish speaking, Gu Tianchen had already thrust his Han sword at him.

Snapped!

Chen Muyi used his wooden sword to precisely block the incoming Han sword, looked at Gu Tianchen, and said with a slight smile, "You kid, you're a bit lacking in martial ethics."

“Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. The more you sweat on the training ground, the less blood you bleed on the battlefield,” Gu Tianchen said.

"Good awareness."

Snapped!

The next second, Chen Muye slammed a wooden sword into Gu Tianchen's arm.

Gu Tianchen, seemingly oblivious to any pain, smiled and asked Chen Muyi, "Captain, didn't you eat breakfast this morning?"

Well, you got yourself into this mess!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Chen Muye directly used the power of the Pool Realm to force Gu Tianchen to retreat step by step.

Along with them, Lin Qiye, who was just about to launch a sneak attack on Chen Muye from behind, also suffered the consequences.

Relying on his years of combat experience, Chen Muyi used two wooden swords to give the two newcomers a sound beating, leaving them covered in bruises.

The swords in their hands were knocked away time and time again.

"Again!"

Gu Tianchen picked up the Han sword from the ground and charged at Chen Muye again without fatigue.

Lin Qiye, writhing in excruciating pain, trembled as he gripped the knife. He waved to Gu Tianchen, "You go first, I'll rest for a bit."

With Lin Qiye no longer holding him back, Chen Muye was able to focus on dealing with Gu Tianchen and was able to handle the situation much more effectively.

"what!"

"Ouch!!"

Holy crap!!!

Within a few rounds, Gu Tianchen's sword was knocked away again, and he received a severe beating.

"Again!"

Gu Tianchen picked up his sword from the ground for what seemed like the umpteenth time and continued charging towards Chen Muye.

Chen Muye shook his slightly numb arms, looked at Gu Tianchen who was rushing towards him again, and smiled slightly.

This kid is fucking tough!

……

in the afternoon.

Wen Qimo sat in the Forbidden Ruins training ground, idly waiting for the two new recruits to come and train.

squeak!

The door was pushed open, and Gu Tianchen greeted him with a smile, "Brother Qi Mo, I'm here."

Wen Qimo smiled and nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Where's Qiye?"

squeak!

The door opened again, and Lin Qiye, his face bruised and swollen, slowly walked in.

Lin Qiye stumbled and almost fell, but Gu Tianchen, who was quick-witted and agile, caught him.

"Thank you..." Lin Qiye said listlessly.

"You're welcome," Gu Tianchen said with a smile.

"Ha ha……"

Lin Qiye let out a cold laugh. If Gu Tianchen hadn't mocked the captain for not having eaten breakfast during training, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly...

"Holy crap, Qi Ye, you're... sparring with the captain?" Wen Qimo asked.

Lin Qiye nodded.

Wen Qimo glanced at Lin Qiye, whose face was bruised and swollen and whose body was covered in wounds, and then at Gu Tianchen, who looked very energetic. "Captain, are you going to spar with me?"

Lin Qiye shook his head and pointed at Gu Tianchen, saying, "No, we practiced together."

"Then how come he's alright?"

"You might not believe it, but he's been beaten more than I have. Yet, after just one meal, he's back to his old self, all lively and energetic." Lin Qiye looked at Gu Tianchen as if he were a monster.

Wen Qimo:〣(oΔo)〣

……

After taking a shower, Chen Muyi, who was covered in sweat from exercising, came out to eat.

"Xiangnan, hasn't your takeout arrived yet?"

Wu Xiangnan's face was grim.

"You might not believe it, but I ordered eight servings, and that kid Gu Tianchen devoured them all by himself. If Lin Qiye hadn't been quick enough to grab half a serving beforehand, I probably would have had to train with Qi Mo on an empty stomach."

Chen Muye: ⊙▽⊙

Chapter 13 The War of Proxy

Forbidden Ruins Practice Room.

Like a teacher, Wen Qimo explained in detail what Forbidden Ruins, Divine Ruins, Forbidden Ruins Sequences, and how to use Forbidden Ruins abilities.

As high school students, Gu Tianchen and Lin Qiye instinctively began to doze off.

Seeing this, Wen Qimo woke up the two who were drowsy.

"Listening without practice is useless. Since you're not interested in theory, let's get straight to real combat," Wen Qimo said with a smile.

Upon hearing that a fight was about to break out, Gu Tianchen immediately perked up, his eyes shining as he looked at Wen Qimo, "What, you want to fight us?"

Wen Qimo quickly waved his hand, "I'm not the captain, I can't withstand the combined attack of you two divine agents."

"Next, it's your turn to fight."

Wen Qimo pointed at the two of them, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Gu Tianchen looked at Lin Qiye, a mischievous smile on his face, and rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

He had long wanted to fight this Seraph's agent, but he hadn't found the opportunity.

Lin Qiye looked at Gu Tianchen and felt a headache coming on.

This kid fights like a madman, completely impervious to pain. His fighting style can be summed up in two words: reckless.
