Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

Zhao Kongcheng fell backward and landed on the ground, bouncing twice on the training ground floor before becoming completely still.

As Zhao Kongcheng fell to the ground, Wu Xiangnan and Hongying's eyes widened and their mouths opened without them realizing it.

What's going on? Zhao Kongcheng was knocked down by a mere "Zhan" Realm newbie with a single punch? Judging from his movements and the speed of his punch, he wasn't holding back!

Are all newcomers these days monsters?!

"Old Zhao!"

"Brother Zhao!"

The two rushed to Zhao Kongcheng's side to check on him. They saw that Zhao Kongcheng's eyes were closed, his jaw was clenched, and blood was flowing from his left nostril.

It seems that Zhao Kongcheng's action of turning his head just now had an effect, preventing his nose from breaking, but his nose was still grazed.

"Old Zhao! Are you alright?"

Wu Xiangnan checked Zhao Kongcheng's injuries, reached out and pried open his eyelids to take a look, and found that he was not seriously injured.

However, the area struck was protected by protective gear and was not a nerve-rich area, so why did the person fall into a coma?

Hongying carefully removed the protective gear from Zhao Kongcheng's head and gently nudged his arm.

"Brother Zhao, wake up."

"Ah!" Zhao Kongcheng sat up abruptly, touched his face with his gloved hand, and found that he was fine, except that one of his nostrils was bleeding.

Thank goodness! He wasn't disfigured! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be handsome anymore!

"I think I just saw my grandma! You brat, what was that punch you threw?!"

With a blood trickling from his nose, Zhao Kongcheng asked Li Lian, who was standing there in a daze, "The force of the punch was only slightly stronger than that of an average person, but why did it feel like my brain was hit with a hammer when it hit me?"

Li Lian spread his hands, making an innocent expression.

Li Lian: ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

"Didn't you give me permission to use my spiritual power?"

When Li Lian used the move "White Strike: One Bone," the force of his punch startled him. His intuition told him that this full-force punch might cause trouble.

He was also afraid that he might seriously injure Old Zhao with a punch, so he frantically restrained the spiritual power he used, using only less than a third of the spiritual power required for the skill.

Even so, they beat Old Zhao until he lost consciousness.

【Bai Da: Yi Gu】This skill may seem like a simple physical skill, but the most crucial part is the use of spiritual power. First, compress the spiritual power into your fist, and then release it the instant you hit the enemy to cause damage.

The amount of spiritual energy used directly determines the power of this move, and the location where it hits the enemy is also very important.

So, Lao Zhao lost consciousness more because the spiritual energy directly impacted his head. This is a point to remember, as it will be useful if there are any missions to capture prisoners alive in the future.

Or one day, if your teammate disobeys you, you can just punch them unconscious and take them away!

"Luckily I tilted my head, otherwise you would have broken my nose!"

While cursing, Zhao Kongcheng took off his protective gear and boxing gloves, then used his hands to plug his bleeding nostrils.

"Vice Captain, I'll go take care of this first. The rest is up to you and Hongying."

“I’ll go with you. The captain has other matters to attend to.” Wu Xiangnan nodded and said to Hongying, “Hongying, you test his abilities related to the Forbidden Ruins. You know how to do it. After you’re done, come to the main hall to find me and the captain!”

"Yes!"

After Zhao Kongcheng and Wu Xiangnan left the training ground, Hongying picked up a long staff from the weapon rack next to her, twirled it a few times, and then looked at Li Lian.

"Now take out your knife and let me see your skills!"

"Sister Hongying, aren't you wearing protective gear?"

"I can't wait any longer, come on over!"

"Then I'm coming!"

……

In the underground lobby of the Peace Agency, Li Lian sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, pondering the meaning of life. Both his nostrils were stuffed with toilet paper, from which faint traces of scarlet blood seeped.

Fifteen minutes ago, Li Lian summoned his Zanpakuto, activated a [Shunpo], and swung the sword with his right hand at the long staff in Hong Ying's hand.

Hongying was startled by Li Lian's speed and quickly dodged to the side. Then, she swept her staff across Li Lian's leg, and with the speed of Li Lian's [Instant Step], she knocked Li Lian to the ground, and his Zanpakuto flew away.

Li Lian: Σ(????)?

what's the situation?

What followed was a brutal, one-sided beating. If it weren't for the protective gear on his body protecting his vital parts, Li Lian would have broken at least a few bones.

How did I get so arrogant?! Killing two newbie monsters makes me think I'm invincible?

Underestimating someone's strength comes at a price; getting beaten up on the ground is the punishment you deserve!

The beating from Hongying woke Li Lian up. At the very least, he clearly realized his own limitations and that he still had a lot to learn.

I feel like a baby holding a gun; if I'm not careful and don't use my abilities properly, I could easily get myself killed.

Training must begin immediately! I have so much to do!

Master your abilities, increase the controllability of [Instant Step], learn close combat techniques, and determine the maximum power of [Hard-Handed: One Bone].

With a Zanpakuto so powerful, it's really embarrassing that your own sword-wielding skills are worse than those of a street thug. You have no technique whatsoever.

Thinking about this made Li Lian's nose hurt. On the first day of his awakening, he knocked out the medical insurance card of a certain night watchman.

Even before joining the team, I can already imagine the "happy" life that awaits me; I'm sure I'll be well "taken care of."

Why did I have to be so cheeky?! Is it too late to regret it now?

……

"The specific realm is approximately at the peak of the 'Zhan' realm. It possesses the skill of rapid movement, the fighting technique of concentrating spiritual power in the fist, the ability to create flames of about 1000 degrees Celsius, and the ability to summon a high-temperature samurai sword in hand at any time."

"He has not received any training and does not know any systematic swordsmanship or fighting techniques. His lower body is particularly weak, and he can be easily taken down. His physical fitness is stronger than that of an average person, which should be due to the physical enhancement brought about by awakening the Forbidden Ruins."

"Conclusion: He's just a high school student who has just awakened, nothing special, but judging from his abilities in the Forbidden Ruins, he should be a promising talent."

In a room upstairs at the stronghold, Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan nodded in agreement as they listened to Hongying's assessment of Li Lian. They had just used the Night Watch's power to investigate Li Lian's background.

He grew up in an orphanage, had consistently good grades in school, and had no criminal record.

Given his various actions, it's safe to assume that Li Lian is a spy sent by another organization, and we can confidently recruit him into the Night Watch!

"Understood. Hongying, call that kid up here for one last test."

"Yes!"

When Li Lian was led into the room by Hong Ying, he found Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan standing facing the door, with a map spread out on the large table in front of them.

"I fought with the Ghost King in the suburbs of the northern city wall. It was seriously injured and forcibly escaped by damaging its own essence. It was probably around this location on the map." Chen Muye said, pointing to a location on the map.

Then, turning to Li Lian who had entered, he said, "Now we'd like to hear your thoughts."

"I?!"
