Located underground in an industrial park in the northern district, no one knew that the South City Branch of the National Security Bureau was established here.

Despite the serious atmosphere, the staff inside the training room were excitedly cheering and shouting outside the competition arena, as if they were having a party.

The training room is a large space within the branch office, usually used for team members to practice. In the center of the training room is a competition arena that occupies half of the space, where team members can spar with each other when they have free time, to enhance their relationship and test their own abilities.

Right now, the members of the Demon-Slaying Squad are practicing against each other with the members of the First Branch Team.

Wei Zhuo and his opponent were competing in computer skills. With Wei Zhuo's world number three strength, he had already won the battle first, and his opponent was completely convinced.

The competition is a team battle between two teams. Since it is held in a closed environment, spiritual power is not allowed. It is purely a test of the teamwork and the hard skills of the members.

As the top-ranked team in the division, their strength goes without saying, and the team members cooperated very well. However, the Demon-Slaying Team's many life-and-death combat experiences were not to be underestimated, and they eliminated the opposing team members one after another in just a few rounds.

In the end, Ye Yan's team naturally won the victory.

Ye Yan had just finished her match and stepped off the field when her phone rang in the rest area. She answered it when she saw it was Xie Wei calling.

I heard the person on the other end mutter a few words to themselves before hanging up.

Ye Yan looked at the screen where the call had been disconnected and said, "Why is everything so strange today?"

Just as he was about to call back to find out, Luo Chen walked over.

"Director Luo," Ye Yan called out.

"Something's up?" Luo Chen remained as squinty-eyed and refined as ever, calm and collected, as if he had seen through everything.

Ye Yan glanced at his phone. Since the other party had hung up the phone, it probably wasn't anything urgent, so he shook his head.

"Then how about a spar with this old guy?" Luo Chen's voice wasn't loud, but everyone around could hear it. The people present immediately showed surprise, along with excited expressions.

During the team battle just now, the audience could clearly see that the captain of the Demon-Slaying Squad was holding back. They weren't satisfied with the performance and wanted to see Ye Yan's true strength.

Practice is the best teacher, and this kind of training experience is hard to come by, so Ye Yan naturally couldn't miss it and agreed.

He left his phone in the rest area and went onto the competition field.

"Senior, please enlighten me," Ye Yan clasped his hands in a junior's greeting and then assumed a fighting stance.

Luo Chen was no longer as easygoing as before; his expression turned serious. Although his eyes were not visible, it was clear from the fact that he had put his hands down that he was serious.

When fighting with a junior, an elder usually gives way with one hand. Now that Luo Chen is using both hands, it means that Ye Yan's strength is something he needs to take seriously.

As soon as the audience shouted "Start!", both of them made a move.

Ye Yan threw the first punch.

As a gust of wind from a punch grazed Luo Chen's cheek, Luo Chen was startled. He immediately changed his footwork and hand movements, neutralizing Ye Yan's punch before unleashing an elbow strike.

Ye Yan was not to be outdone. He pulled his arm to barely block and used the momentum to flip to the side and kick out with his calf.

"Kick Style: Storm Kick! Fourth Form!" Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Interesting, you're that guy's apprentice."

The fourth style is physical techniques. Physical techniques are techniques that can be practiced by cultivators or ordinary people, unlike martial arts which require the support of spiritual energy to be performed.

This set of physical techniques was created by Master Xie Wei, but many people believe that the time investment required for physical techniques is too heavy, and that the results are not as quick as practicing martial arts, so naturally few people will practice it.

"Do you know my master?" Upon hearing the other party call out the name of the martial art he used, Ye Yan paused slightly and withdrew his strength a bit.

Luo Chen took a small step back, dodging the attack. He then jumped into the air, assuming an upside-down hook pose.

"You can't afford to be distracted on the battlefield, Kick Style: Crescent Moon!"

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Ye Yan came to his senses. Seeing that there was no time to dodge, he could only throw a punch and use the fist technique "Mountain Crash" to block.

As a result, Luo Chen took a few steps back after landing, while Ye Yan flew several meters backward before regaining his balance.

"Your reaction is quick and your moves are very skillful, which shows that you have put in a lot of effort," Luo Chen said. "However, your strength is insufficient and you hesitate when you strike. Although the four moves are physical techniques, each move is a killing technique. You must use them with the determination to kill."

"clear!"

"Again!"

During their exchange of four moves, Luo Chen would occasionally offer pointers on the key points.

Ye Yan was very familiar with the moves of the four styles, and with his talent, he was evenly matched with Luo Chen after only a few rounds.

Seeing that Ye Yan's condition was getting better and better, Luo Chen also spoke up at this time: "Use your spiritual power, let the spiritual power flow into the moves, and then feel it with your body."

"This..." Ye Yan hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'm still in good health. Taking a few of your moves shouldn't be a big problem."

"Alright, then I'll be rude." Since the other party had said that, Ye Yan would be underestimating them if he kept dawdling.

Both sides used their spiritual power to exchange blows, which naturally increased their power. People around the arena consciously retreated a bit. The two on the field were getting more and more imposing, as if they were fighting to the death, which made people worry.

During the competition, Ye Yan felt his body becoming more and more familiar with the moves of the four styles, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The final strike, "River Breaker," sent Luo Chen flying, smashing a crater into the arena.
