At this moment, Instructor Hong walked over, and together with Cao Yuan, Mo Li, and Lin Qiye who had fallen asleep on Cao Yuan's back, they moved closer to Lin Shi and Shen Qingzhu.

"I have something to tell you all. Our instructors will be coming over here soon, and there's also something about Lin Shi and Lin Qiye," Instructor Hong said slowly.

"Me?" Lin Shi pointed to himself.

Instructor Hong nodded. "Yes, it's you, Lin Shi, and the unconscious Lin Qiye."

"What's the problem?" everyone asked.

Instructor Hong was silent for a moment, "Judging from the strength Lin Qiye unleashed in the underground cave, he must have used some method that can unleash potential and improve his realm in a short period of time."

“There are many ways to forcibly improve one’s cultivation level! There’s no need to hide it, is there?” After all, Baili Pangpang is the eldest young master of the Baili Forbidden Artifacts Family, and he knows more about this than Lin Shi and the others.

"But... the moment Lin Qiye made his move, I sensed the aura of a 'god'. Besides, what method could possibly allow one to advance directly from the 'Pool' Realm to the 'Sea' Realm in one go?"

I've never heard of such a thing. Only a 'god' could do that!

"A god?" Baili Pangpang, Shen Qingzhu, and the others stared wide-eyed. "Did the god that Qiye was acting on behalf of make a move?"

Instructor Hong shook his head. "I don't know, but Lin Qiye has a lot of secrets, beyond our imagination."

Furthermore, when it comes to the issue of 'gods,' the Night's Watch leadership handles it with extreme caution... even to an extreme degree.

Once they know what happened today, they will definitely deprive him of his freedom temporarily until the matter is fully investigated.

"We definitely can't tell anyone!" Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan were very anxious.

Instructor Hong nodded. "We all know Lin Qiye's character, so there's no need to jeopardize his future because of this."

"You all keep your mouths shut, don't you?"

"Don't worry, my mouth is tighter than a dead man's," Shen Qingzhu said first.

"Instructor, you know me. Lin Qiye is my benefactor. How could I betray him?" Cao Yuan was still carrying Lin Qiye on his back, occasionally shifting him to make him more comfortable.

Although Lin Qiye couldn't sense it...

“I’m not a big mouth,” Molly said calmly.

"I……"

"You don't need to say anything." Instructor Hong interrupted Lin Shi's speech. In his opinion, Lin Shi would never betray Lin Qiye, so there was no need for him to express his opinion.

Furthermore, Lin Shi's secret is no less significant than Lin Qiye's.

“In that case, we need to coordinate our testimonies…” Baili Pangpang thought for a moment and said to everyone.

Just as Baili Pangpang breathed a sigh of relief after the six finished their exchange, Instructor Hong's voice rang out again.

"We've finished discussing Lin Qiye's problem; now it's time to discuss Lin Shi's problem."

"Lin Shi didn't have any 'gods' to help him either! Is there a problem?" Everyone was puzzled, wondering what Instructor Hong wanted to discuss about Lin Shi.

Instructor Hong glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Lin Shi didn't have the help of a 'god' like Lin Qiye, but think about it... even without the help of a 'god,' he was able to defeat a 'sea' realm cultivator single-handedly, just like Lin Qiye, when he was only at the 'pool' realm."

Everyone fell silent, and their gazes toward Lin Shi became strange.

Yes! Lin Qiye needed a god to intervene in order to contend with the 'Sea' Realm, while Lin Shi directly killed the 'Sea' Realm cultivator while only being at the 'Pool' Realm.

He handled one of the talking clones with ease, until another talking clone appeared and finally managed to capture Lin Shi.

The difference is obvious even to a child.

"Should we also keep the information that Lin Shin can kill someone in the 'Sea' Realm concealed?" Baili Pangpang asked.

"What do you think?" everyone said in unison.

Instructor Hong explained to Lin Shi, "Lin Shi, we're doing this for your own good. Think about it, if the Ancient God Church knew how powerful you were, they wouldn't let you become the second King's Face..."

Looking at Lin Shi's youthful face, Instructor Hong shook his head. "No, you are definitely much stronger than Wang Mian. With your strength, once you reach the 'Sea' Realm, it's not impossible for the higher-ups to make you the captain of the Fifth Special Squad."

"Instructor Hong is joking. I will not become the captain of the fifth special squad." Lin Shi knew that the captain of the fifth squad had to be Lin Qiye, because too many hopes were placed on him.

Instructor Hong did not refute Lin Shi's words, but looked at Lin Shi with a serious expression. "There is another option: if we tell the Night Watch higher-ups the truth, they will invest a lot of resources in you, and they might even transfer you from Cangnan City to Shangjing City."

But as you know, we Night Watch have spies from the Church of the Old Gods among our high-ranking members. This means the Church of the Old Gods will also know that before you have grown strong enough, they will spare no effort to assassinate you.

When that time comes, the enemy that comes may be at the level of 'Boundless' or even 'Klein'.

So what's your choice? If you need to keep it a secret, we'll help you.

Baili Pangpang, Shen Qingzhu, Cao Yuan, and Mo Li nodded to Lin Shi, indicating that they would all help.

"Actually... even if you hadn't said it, I would have wanted you to help me cover it up. Being too sharp isn't a good thing. If you beat the younger ones, the older ones will come. If this keeps happening in an endless cycle, we'll eventually break down."

The weather is calm now, and I'd love to have some peace and quiet.

As for those resources... I can still reach the pinnacle of human potential even without them, and maybe I can even break through it.

Lin Shi spread his hands as he spoke, his face showing a calm and nonchalant expression.

Everyone nodded in agreement after learning of Lin Shi's choice, while Baili Pangpang patted Lin Shi on the shoulder with some excitement.

"Lin Shi, if you really become the captain of the Fifth Special Squad, you must recruit me. The Fifth Special Squad! Just thinking about it makes me feel so powerful."

At this moment, Baili Pangpang became more and more excited, "Look, we have six people here. If we find one more, the team will be complete."

Then Fatty turned to Shen Qingzhu and said, "Brother Zhai, you have to come over then, okay?"

Shen Qingzhu adopted an arrogant demeanor, "We'll see when the time comes."

A hint of excitement flickered in Molly's eyes, but it quickly vanished. Given her current level of power and abilities, she probably couldn't reach the level of a special team.

"Alright, Fatty, stop talking, someone's coming." Lin Shi stepped forward to stop Baili Fatty, who was daydreaming about the future.

"It's Lin Shi, Lin Qiye, and Hong Hao." Instructor Han Li and Instructor Zhang followed Lin Shi's footprints and found Lin Shi and the others.

"Are you alright?" Instructor Han Li stepped forward and asked Instructor Hong.

Instructor Hong shook his head. "It's alright, it's all over."

At this moment, Instructor Han Li also noticed Lin Qiye, who was unconscious on Cao Yuan's back. "Why did Lin Qiye faint?"

"It was from killing the earthworm."

"...What about the earth dragon?"

“Ask him,” Instructor Hong said, pointing to Lin Shi.

Lin Shi: "(#`д′)?"
