Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Training Course.

Chen Shu stood casually on the sidelines, watching the new recruits practicing their swordsmanship.

Dark skin, over two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body.

Judging from appearances alone, it seemed as if Chen Shu was the new recruit instructor.

Han Li stood on the martial arts stage, looking at Chen Shu with a troubled expression.

He had already witnessed it last time; Chen Shu's close-combat abilities were very strong.

Therefore, none of the more than two hundred new recruits were willing to spar with him.

After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind and stepped towards Chen Shu.

“Chen Shu… no one wants to spar with you… how about this, you stay away and practice your swordsmanship by yourself, so you don’t accidentally hurt them.”

"I already know all the sword techniques, I don't need to practice."

Chen Shu began speaking in a serious tone.

"I've mastered them all..." Han Li thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Then... shall I teach you a sword technique?"

"No, with my physique, what use is learning swordsmanship?"

"Then...then practice with two-handed axes, with your physique..."

"No, I don't like axes."

"You... alright... then the staff technique, is that alright?"

This time, Chen Shu hesitated for a moment...

Just as Han Li's face lit up with joy, thinking that Chen Shu had finally found a weapon he liked, Chen Shu spoke up.

"Never mind, I feel..."

"Go! Get into a horse stance!"

Han Li instantly broke down and pointed to the corner of the wall in the distance, shouting loudly.

"……I……"

"Are you the instructor and am I the instructor? Hurry up and get into a horse stance."

Han Li didn't want to listen to Chen Shu at all, and after urging him once, he turned around and left.

"Little Shu, you've really picked this one. Now look what you've done. Go practice your horse stance."

Hongying's gloating voice echoed softly.

"He was the one who wanted to ask, and now he's blaming me..."

As Chen Shu spoke, he walked weakly toward the corner of the wall.

……

The day's training has ended.

Hongying lay on the bed, chatting enthusiastically with Molly about their childhood.

One trained with guns from a young age, and the other with knives; their conversations turned out to have quite a few unexpected topics.

……

On a utility pole at the training camp, a sparrow stood quietly, its gaze fixed on the roof of a dormitory building.

There, Lin Qiye stood, and beside him was a beautiful woman with a noble air.

That was Lin Qiye's first patient at the mental hospital.

The goddess of the night - Nyx.

The next second, the two figures vanished instantly.

A short while later, Yuan Gang appeared on the rooftop.

After searching unsuccessfully, Yuan Gang sat down on the rooftop.

A few minutes later, Lin Qiye and Nyx reappeared.

The sparrow watched quietly as the three negotiated.

After tonight, a message will slowly spread.

An unprecedented dual-god agent has appeared in the Great Xia Dynasty—Lin Qiye!

……

Five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the training field,

Chen Shu trailed at the back of the group, running absentmindedly.

Today is the day off. From the perspective of the [Symbiotic Offspring],

Chen Muye is currently in Yuan Gang's office, sitting face to face with him.

Sure enough, after lunch, the assembly whistle was blown.

Upon hearing the whistle, all the new recruits immediately went to the training ground and lined up.

"Very good. You have made great progress in these five months and are already starting to resemble soldiers."

Instructor Hong's gaze swept over the group of new recruits. "This afternoon, we won't be training. I have an important announcement to make."

"We've finished the first half of our physical training ahead of schedule and are moving on to the second half!"

"The upcoming training will focus on tactics, firearms, and forbidden zones!"

As soon as Instructor Hong finished speaking, the new recruits below the stage were overjoyed and immediately began whispering among themselves.

Molly smiled slightly and looked at Hongying, "Sister Hongying, is this how our Night Watch training is supposed to go?"

Hongying shook her head. "I don't know. My training camp was normal."

"Maybe we're just too good, exceeding the instructors' expectations."

Chen Shu smiled.

"Quiet!" Instructor Hong spoke again. "After unanimous discussion among the instructors, it has been decided that everyone will have a day off before the next phase of training begins!"

"From today until the second day of the Lunar New Year, it will be four days in total!"

"Sister Hongying, is this... considered normal?"

Molly was even more shocked. After staying here for almost half a year, she could finally go out for some fresh air.

Hongying looked puzzled, feeling like there was something wrong with her ears. "Is this... normal?"

"Who cares if it's normal or not? Being able to go home for the New Year is a good thing."

Although he knew a lot would happen during this holiday, Chen Shu was still quite happy.

This time, after leaving the training camp, we must find a way to capture as many forbidden ruins as possible, so as not to fall behind Lin Qiye.

"There's one thing you need to be aware of: during this holiday, you can only stay in Cangnan City!"

"Anyone who leaves Cangnan without permission... will be immediately disqualified from joining the Night Watch!!"

"Everyone, go back to your dorms now and pack your things. Meet here in half an hour, and a bus will take you out of the training camp!"

"Everyone! Did you hear me?!"

"Listen clearly!"

On the way back to the dormitory, Hongying suddenly asked, "Molly, do you have any money on you?"

Molly nodded. "I brought a thousand dollars with me this time in case I needed it. It's more than enough for four days."

Hongying nodded, but was still a little worried, so she simply told her her home address.

Since we're locals, there's nothing we need to pack.

After quickly changing into civilian clothes, Hongying went to the training ground to wait for Lin Qiye.

Although Chen Shu really wanted to tell her that it was best to stay away from Lin Qiye, he didn't have a suitable reason.

"Everyone, take the Star Blade with you when you leave camp this time. However, the purpose of bringing these weapons is for self-defense!"

"Remember, weapons must not be used unless absolutely necessary!"

While queuing to receive their knives, Lin Qiye slowly spoke, "Sister Hongying, don't you feel like something's not right?"

"Something's not right? What do you mean?"

Hongying was completely baffled.

"Yeah, Brother Qiye, I think it's because the instructors saw that we were too tired from training and wanted us to relax."

Baili Pangpang said.

"Sister Hongying, did your year's Night Watch recruits get a break during training?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qiye finally asked the question that was on his mind.

"...No, but that doesn't prove anything, does it?"

"...I hope I'm just overthinking it."

When it was Hongying's turn to receive the Star Blade, Instructor Hong put down the blade and tried to soften his tone.

"Hongying, come with me for a moment."

Taking Hongying away from the new recruits, Instructor Hong's expression turned serious.

"Now, your identity needs to be temporarily restored to that of a normal Night's Watchman. Next, I have something important to tell you."
