True Martial Base City.
When Su Bei landed,
Liang Dao was already there.
They had only been apart for a month, but Liang Dao had changed quite a bit. He looked thinner, yet his aura had grown much sharper. Compared to before, he was clearly much stronger.
Apparently, he had spent practically the entire month training and had put in no small amount of hard work.
Everyone knew that the period right after a martial artist broke through was a golden window.
"Brother Bei, we've already booked a restaurant. Let's go."
Liang Dao naturally led Su Bei out of the airport. There was no awkward silence along the way; they talked almost nonstop.
"I heard you're already a Martial Arts Instructor over in Tianhu?"
"The rest of us can't compare to you at all. After you left, aside from Xu Zhijie, everyone went their separate ways."
"This is an Officer's Token? My family has one, but this is the first time I've seen one belonging to someone our age. That's seriously awesome."
The Officer's Token Liang Dao spoke of was a wooden plaque made from a special kind of wood. Its surface was incomparably smooth, warm like jade in the hand, with a tiny character for "officer" engraved upon it. It was an identification token issued upon promotion to officer rank, more commemorative than practical.
Su Bei quite liked how it felt. Recently, whenever he was thinking things over, he would unconsciously take it out and roll it around in his hand. It had become a small hobby of his.
He casually handed it to Liang Dao. "They're all the same. I haven't even seen an officer's token for lieutenants yet."
He had skipped the lieutenant stage entirely, so naturally he did not have one.
Liang Dao: ???
Was that
