"Thank you, you've worked hard."
As a representative of the new generation of military personnel in Jiangzhong and a national martial arts champion, Shen Qian did not actually want things to turn out this way.
But there was nothing he could do. He had too little time, and many of the more theoretical courses often assigned various academic assignments. Although Shen Qian felt that the teachers wouldn't make things difficult for him, as the class monitor, he still had to consider his reputation.
So I had to ask someone else to do it for me.
Fortunately, Zhao Keyi, Yue Dakan, and their group, regardless of their personalities, are all genuine academic high-achievers, so helping Shen Qian with his homework shouldn't be a problem.
"Let's go, let's hurry."
Having received the money to do the job, Shen Qian then led the two men into the nearby grove.
A few minutes later, Shen Qian drifted away, and after a while, the two men with bruised and swollen faces emerged from inside.
"Shen Qian is getting more and more freakish; it's impossible to sense where his limits are..."
Geng Qianqiu was straightening his fractured arm while grimacing as he spoke.
"Indeed, but what's even more terrifying is that although the power he displayed wasn't much stronger than ours, he had an astonishing sense of oppression. Even fighting two against one wouldn't have given us the slightest advantage."
Zhao Keyi's expression was also solemn.
Shen Qian had finally returned to school and hadn't run around, so Zhao Keyi and the others from the anti-demon king organization naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass them by.
To be honest, Zhao Keyi was very unhappy when Shen Qian first proposed a one-against-two fight.
But now he vaguely understands that Chen Qian was actually saving face for them.
As an equally exceptional genius, Zhao Keyi disliked this sense of defeat, and what was even more terrifying was that... he was getting used to it.
Faced with a sinking situation that defies all common sense, I'm afraid anyone would react the same way.
"It's so frustrating... I don't even want to catch up with him anymore, I just hope I don't fall too far behind." Geng Qianqiu sighed.
Thinking back to the college entrance exam, he was still full of hostility towards Shen Qian, and once regarded him as his lifelong enemy.
Only now do I realize how ridiculous that statement is.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, he really isn't qualified.
"Have you heard of 'Extreme Realm'?" Zhao Keyi asked thoughtfully, recalling his encounters with Shen Qian over the past few days.
"What extreme realm?" Geng Qianqiu was a little confused.
"I heard two words in a place called 'Legend': a martial artist who has reached the pinnacle is an undisputed god among his peers, representing absolute control of power and supreme combat skills."
Zhao Keyi explained.
"You mean, you entered this so-called 'extreme realm' before you even sank in?" Geng Qianqiu asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't be yet, but I have a vague feeling that he's getting closer..."
Zhao Keyi murmured.
...
"My power control should have returned to 90%, but it's still quite a distance from the extreme level that the system can easily reach."
The scenery outside the car was passing by quickly, but Chen Qian was also examining himself.
His daily battles with Geng Qianqiu, Yue Dakan, and others were not solely for the sake of obtaining those "benefits".
These battles were just as useful before the sinking.
Suppressing one's own power to fight is itself a way of honing one's skills.
Not to mention that Zhao Keyi and others were also unparalleled geniuses. He often exchanged ideas with them, and he did not gain nothing before sinking.
For example, Shen Qian's control over the "Shadow Blade" can be described as being able to control it at will and change it freely, which should be close to "perfection".
As the military's black and green armored vehicle slowly came to a stop, Shen Qian also put aside his thoughts and got out of the car after the driver opened the door for him.
"Good morning, Company Commander!"
The soldiers guarding the gate immediately straightened their backs and shouted at the top of their lungs.
Shen Qian nodded slightly and strode into the Ninth Company's camp.
The scene that greets the eye is one of bustling construction activity.
For the past ten days or so, Shen Qian has been living a very simple life, shuttling between school and military camp.
Although Shang Zuo was stationed here, Shen Qian was also aware that the Ninth Company was newly established, and if he abandoned it, it would inevitably affect the morale of the newly established army.
After the other companies returned the occupied land, the Ninth Company's camp area was more than twice the size of before. So during this period, the soldiers of the Ninth Company mainly focused on rebuilding the camp, in addition to training.
Along the way, there were loud greetings everywhere, but Shen Qian didn't show much of a smile, only nodding slightly.
"Strict discipline is essential for military administration."
This can be considered one of the principles upheld before the sinking.
Upon reaching the government affairs area, Shang Zuo greeted them. As Shen Qian was about to enter the office building with his companion, he noticed a number of unfamiliar young men in civilian clothes queuing outside another tent not far away.
"Are those the new recruits we just enlisted?" Shen Qian asked.
The Ninth Company was not fully staffed, and although it was impossible to complete it all at once, Shang Zuo was allowed to try some methods before the sinking.
"Reporting to the company commander, a batch of new recruits joined the Lushu Battalion yesterday. They are said to be elites selected from ordinary troops. According to Commander Yu's instructions, our Ninth Company can have priority in selecting them. These are the new recruits I selected, but there are less than two hundred of them."
Shang Zuo replied.
He nodded slightly.
Ordinary troops, such as local armies and garrison troops, do not have high entry requirements, with only basic physical fitness requirements. For these people to stand out from ordinary troops and enter the Jiangzhong Army can be considered a kind of promotion.
Yu Shouyi clearly felt indebted to Shen Qian because of the previous incident where he deliberately tested Shen Qian. Although he was still a little embarrassed to see Shen Qian, he gave Jiu Lian priority in the selection, which was a small gesture of gratitude.
