A dazzling white light flashed.

A blue creature suddenly appeared in the summoning array.

It had long whiskers, pointed ears, and padded paws, and looked quite cute.

Lin Qiye and Li Yifei both frowned.

Why did this thing look so familiar?

Wasn't this fucking Tom Cat?!

"Come on, Brother Meng, you gave me a purple entry and summoned this thing? Tom Cat? What use is he?!" Lin Qiye said helplessly.

He had thought he might summon some kind of Mythical Creature, but out popped Tom Cat?

"Qiye, haven't you heard the saying that comedy characters are often the strongest?"

"Has Tom Cat ever died in the cartoon Tom and Jerry?" As Zhou Meng spoke, he stepped forward, grabbed the Frying Pan beside him without another word, and brought it down hard on Tom Cat's head.

The silly cat made no attempt to dodge. The blow landed squarely on his head, flattening it like the Frying Pan.

But his eyes, now flattened into two dimensions, were still moving vividly, seemingly unaffected. Then, with a pop, his head returned to its original shape, and he seemed confused about what had just happened.

"Holy shit? That works?" Lin Qiye and Li Yifei exclaimed in unison.

He was fucking invincible!

"I told you, the entries I give you have never let you down. Even with Extraordinary Fertility, once you've given birth, you'll understand what the entry is good for. So, want to try again?" Zhou Meng said with a smile as he walked over.

"No thanks, Brother Meng! Recruit training is about to start! I don't want to have a baby during these few days off! I'm leaving!" As though he had heard some trigger word, Lin Qiye hurriedly said goodbye to Nyx and Li Yifei, then fled like the wind.

"Sigh, that child Thanatos is always in such a rush." Nyx sighed.

"Grandma, if he didn't run, you might end up with a whole bunch more grandchildren," Li Yifei muttered.

"A whole bunch more great-grandchildren wouldn't be bad either. Qiye isn't willing, so how about you give it a try?" Zhou Meng looked at Li Yifei.

"I just remembered I haven't finished cleaning the Dean's Office! I'll get back to work!"

At the newly built recruit training camp on the outskirts of Cangnan City.

A man in military uniform, a black case strapped to his back, slowly stepped down from a heavy helicopter that had just landed.

He was Yuan Gang, commander-in-chief of the Nightwatcher recruit training camp.

"Hello, sir!" The soldiers standing ramrod straight on either side saluted in unison and shouted.

"Get me a copy of the roster of recruits for this training session." Yuan Gang waved to the soldiers on either side as he gave the order.

A soldier quickly ran up and handed him a roster.

Yuan Gang took the roster and glanced at it. The stern expression on his face immediately turned somewhat troubled. He pinched the space between his brows and shook his head. "Damn it, what the hell? What kind of freaks have we got this year?"

"What's wrong, sir?" The instructors behind him leaned in curiously and took the roster Yuan Gang handed them.

Their expressions turned even uglier than Yuan Gang's.

"Holy shit, the Baili Group's young master? Three owners of ultra-high-risk Forbidden Ruins in one batch? And one of their Sequences is in the top fifty?"

"Keep reading. There's an even more outrageous one here! A God's Agent! How many years has it been since Daxia last had a God's Agent?"

"Yeah, I think the last one was Wang Mian from the Masked Squad!"

The instructors began chattering among themselves.

"You lot only know part of the story. Besides being confirmed as Michael's Agent, this God's Agent has some other secrets that aren't widely known."

"Secrets? What kind? Surely he can't be the Agent of two gods at once? That's never happened in Daxia's history!" the instructors exclaimed.

"Nothing that extreme. But besides the Divine Ruins mortal divine realm, this kid also seems to possess Forbidden Ruins [Formless]! And he seems to have another personality of unknown identity called Zhou Meng!"

"More than one Forbidden Ruins? And the one that can copy other Forbidden Ruins at that? But isn't that—"

Before the instructor could finish, the others interrupted him with a flurry of chatter.

"Having multiple Forbidden Ruins is pretty outrageous, but isn't having a split personality fairly common? What's so unusual about that, sir?"

Yuan Gang sneered and continued:

"What if I told you that this personality enabled him, while he was only at the Cup Realm, to kill a River Realm monster two realms above him? And that this personality also used some unknown method to save a Nightwatcher who had used Ghost-God Guidance!"

That sentence sent the instructors into an uproar.

"What? Sir, you're not pulling our legs, are you? Even working together, it would take at least seven or eight Cup Realm ability users with Forbidden Ruins to kill a River Realm monster. He did it alone? Is that for real?"

"Ghost-God Guidance? Wasn't anyone who used that supposed to be beyond saving? How did he do it?"

"If that bunch of experts in Shangjing found out, wouldn't they drag him back and make him demonstrate it on the spot? If it can be replicated, it would be a major breakthrough for us Nightwatchers!"

"What's his name? Let me see!"

The instructors chattered noisily, completely ignoring Yuan Gang beside them.

A God's Agent, the owner of multiple Forbidden Ruins, and an outrageous second personality called Zhou Meng?

What kind of freak was this? How had they never heard of him?

There, in the relevant line of the roster, three large characters stood out.

"Lin Qiye (Zhou Meng)."

"Ahem. All right, I've told you the basics. I picked up some of this information through other channels, so it isn't necessarily reliable. In particular, the information about Lin Qiye's second personality hasn't been confirmed yet. During training, if you notice Lin Qiye's personality change, you must treat it as an emergency of the highest level! Notify me immediately. Understood?" Yuan Gang ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

"Also, summon the Masked Squad and have them help us keep things under control! And all of you, stay sharp! These recruits might be the hardest to handle you've ever encountered!"

He could handle a River Realm monster, but could he take down an entire elite squad of Sea Realm members?

"Report! An unidentified person is approaching not far from the training camp. Young male, a high school student, carrying a Peppa Pig suitcase and a Hello Kitty suitcase. Requesting instructions!" The instructors suddenly received a communication from the sentry post at the entrance.

"Could it be a recruit? This early? Wait here, I'll go take a look myself."

A moment later, a jeep roared out of the training camp and sped toward the distant figure, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"You there, what are you here for?"

"Training."

"A recruit?"

"Yeah!"

"What's your name?"

"Lin Qiye!"

"You're Lin Qiye???"

Lin Qiye looked at the instructor, whose eyes had widened and whose face was full of disbelief, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Am I really that famous? Why do these instructors look at me like they've seen some kind of Mythical Creature?
