"It wasn't obvious before, but now that my Mental Power is higher, the changes it brings to my senses seem more and more apparent..."

Yang Ling murmured to himself.

This Mental Power felt different from strength.

Adding a few points to the latter made a big difference.

Only now, with Mental Power reaching 25 points, did he feel a transformation taking place within him.

"It's not just a threshold for Martial Arts Training, capable of increasing training speed—it also has a huge impact on me in itself."

"Maybe it will show significant results in combat too, like making it easier to perceive an opponent's flaws?"

"My reaction speed has improved accordingly. These Mental Power points were well spent!"

"If I add a hundred points, two hundred points in the future, what will happen? Will I turn into a monster?"

A glimmer of anticipation stirred in Yang Ling's heart.

"Right, I also have an Exclusive Skill called Insight. What does it do?"

Yang Ling immediately looked at the panel and opened the detailed description of Insight:

[Insight: Able to perceive the bad deeds a person has done in the past three days]

The description was simple and clear—easy to understand at a glance.

But Yang Ling stood frozen in place, unable to snap out of it for a long while.

This skill had nothing to do with combat, yet...

"Isn't this skill too overpowered? Just one look and I can perceive the bad deeds a person has done in three days?"

Yang Ling's heart pounded violently.

If he were at the Ore Vein, this skill would be useless.

But now he had another identity—Constable!

With this skill, wouldn't he be able to accumulate merits rapidly!?

"With merits in hand, I can gradually reveal a bit of my ability. Ninth Rank—no, Eighth Rank, even Seventh Rank—I have a chance!"

With that thought, Yang Ling immediately walked to the door, opened it, and looked outside.

The constables outside had no idea what he was up to and couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

Old Zhao had already started brewing tea and didn't notice Yang Ling's actions.

Yang Ling stared at Old Zhao, gazing for a full two or three seconds before the word "Insight" appeared on him.

"Insight."

In an instant, a piece of information surfaced:

[Zhao Er, picked up one tael of Loose Silver yesterday and did not turn it in] [Today's usage has been exhausted]

"..."

Yang Ling closed the door again.

He had confirmed how Insight worked. Although it could only be used once a day, he was still satisfied.

As for what Old Zhao had done, he felt nothing about it.

If it were him, he wouldn't have turned it in either.

"A divine skill! I just completed my Class Transfer and got something like this. I wonder what Exclusive Skills other classes can obtain?"

"Right!"

Yang Ling's expression suddenly turned serious.

He had already transferred classes and reached Level 13. Wouldn't the Divine Realm Rank List expose him now?

With a thought, he opened the Divine Realm Rank List.

[Divine Realm Rank List] [001: Ku Jue Temple, Hui Wu, Level 14, Class: Warrior Monk] [002: Star Gazing Academy, Luo Kai, Level 14, Class: Child Scholar] [003: Valley of the Dead, Qi Kai, Level 14, Class: Medical Apprentice] [004: Great Evolution Sword Sect, Fang Yun, Level 13, Class: Swordsman] [005: Heavenly Blade Sect, Ning Xizhe, Level 13, Class: Blade Guard] [006: Ghost King Stockade, Lin Dongdong, Level 13, Class: Bandit] [007: Iron Clothes Department, Yang Ling, Level 13, Class: Constable] [008: Mountain River Sect, Wu Xiaochen, Level 12, Class: Blade Guard] [009: ???]

"Sure enough, I made the list, but everyone else seems to be working hard too. In just two days, Hui Wu and the others have already reached Level 14, and the rest are at Level 13 too."

"Mountain River Sect's Wu Xiaochen? Some player got that lucky and directly joined the Mountain River Sect?"

Yang Ling's expression turned somewhat odd.

But the Ninth Place and Tenth Place still hadn't appeared yet.

That meant among the first thirty players to reach Level 10, twenty-two were still stuck on the Class Transfer.

And more would probably get stuck later on.

"But now they know that being a constable is also a career path..."

"Compared to joining a sect, paying some money and pulling some strings to become a constable is clearly the more suitable route."

"When future players become constables, will they also get the exclusive skill Insight?"

Yang Ling's face gradually grew serious.

"Forget it. I'm still in the lead for now. The number of players is probably over a hundred thousand by now?"

"Out of a hundred thousand people, I can rank in the top ten—that's one in ten thousand."

"I need to use this advantage to build momentum step by step, staying ahead of other players at every turn."

Yang Ling took out the Thief-Catching Saber Technique.

"Thief-Catching Saber Technique. Training requirements: Strength 3, Agility 5."

"Requirements met."

"Comprehend?"

"Comprehend."

With a surge of warmth, Yang Ling instantly grasped the Thief-Catching Saber Technique.

He opened his Attribute Panel and took a look:

Character: Yang Ling

Class: Constable

Level: 13

Strength: 11

Agility: 5

Spirit: 25

Exclusive Skill: Insight

Martial Arts: Vajra Mingwang Technique (First Glimpse of the Door)

Experience Points: 88/1000

Collapse Mountain Fist (Mastery Through Practice)

Proficiency: 102/10000

Thief-Catching Saber Technique (Beginner)

Proficiency: 0/100

Health Points: 210

"Just 100 proficiency points. At my current pace, I'll reach First Glimpse of the Door in two days."

"But this saber technique doesn't seem to boost Strength—it's an Agility build?"

Yang Ling's mind stirred, and he checked the detailed info on the Thief-Catching Saber Technique:

[Thief-Catching Saber Technique: With swift and fierce momentum, slay thieves.]

[First Glimpse of the Door: +3 Agility]

[Mastery Through Practice: +6 Agility]

[Perfected Skill: +9 Agility]

[Entering the Hall and Room: +12 Agility]

[Supernatural Skill: +20 Agility]

Note: This is a prerequisite for the Tiger Catching Saber Technique. After reaching Perfected Skill, you may switch to training the Tiger Catching Saber Technique.

"Tiger Catching Saber Technique!"

Yang Ling's eyes flickered, and he had a rough understanding in his mind.

The power of the Tiger Catching Saber Technique was probably a whole tier above the Thief-Catching Saber Technique.

It was likely a technique specifically for Iron Clothes Constables to train.

"But Captain Lin's Attribute Panel doesn't have this saber technique, which means he's not qualified to train in it either."
