A test

Supervision Bureau.

Shen Heng glanced at the car that was gradually disappearing into the distance, then turned to look at Wang Hai beside him.

"Captain, isn't this against the rules?"

"If we judge it severely, it's a violation, since we could say we hired someone to retaliate afterward; if we judge it leniently, it's not a violation, since the other party provoked us first and then tried to circumvent the punishment through other means!" Wang Hai glanced at Shen Heng.

"So, if they report us, we might face disciplinary action?" Shen Heng asked.

"Hmm!" Wang Hai looked at Shen Heng, "What, regretting it?"

"No, he deserves it!" Shen Heng replied. The punishment for this kind of thing wouldn't be too severe, at most a warning. Compared to that, what pained him more was the 2 million yuan... It's a pity...

"Yes, that's why I did it!" Wang Hai nodded. "Unfortunately, he only wanted to blind you, so this punishment is pretty much the limit to avoid being punished. If he wanted to kill you, then the punishment for him could be much more severe!"

Shen Heng glanced at Wang Hai with some surprise. If Wang Hai hadn't been standing next to him, he would have thought that it was Han Ling or one of the others who said it. Hmm... no, the captain's mindset is different from Han Ling's. The captain is probably thinking about giving more punishment to people who do bad things just because they have a little money.

"Alright, let's come in too! Don't worry about the violations, they won't report or complain!" Wang Hai turned and walked into the Supervision Bureau.

"Huh? How did you know?" Shen Heng turned and followed.

"He only has a broken leg right now. He'll recover after a period of treatment. If he reports it, although we might be punished, the investigation will be reopened. When headquarters sends someone with mental abilities, he won't be able to hide it anymore. In the end, he'll go to jail for assaulting a public official, which is a loss for them!" Wang Hai replied.

A person with mental abilities? Like that guy who creates memory-blurring sprays?... Shen Heng nodded thoughtfully, then asked:

"But they don't know anything about our Supervision Bureau, do they?"

"Yes, they don't know, but they understand one thing!" Wang Hai nodded.

What's the reasoning behind that?

Wang Hai stopped and looked at Shen Heng.

"When the problem is on your side, never try to go against the country!"

Hmm... Actually, removing that first sentence isn't entirely out of the question, it just might make the country seem unreasonable... Shen Heng pondered silently.

"By the way, how's your swordsmanship training going these days?" Wang Hai asked.

"I've finished learning the basic sword techniques, and I'm currently sparring with Yu Jingming!" Shen Heng replied.

"How was the practice session?"

"Hmm... they were beaten pretty badly!" Shen Heng murmured.

"Yes, Yu Jingming is quite famous in their circle!" Wang Hai nodded. "Let's go, let me see your current progress in swordsmanship!"

Shen Heng nodded, did not refuse, and led the way towards the training room.

The two arrived at the training room.

Wang Hai stood there, his hands bare.

Opposite him, Shen Heng held a wooden knife in one hand, his gaze fixed quietly on Wang Hai.

He didn't say anything about telling Wang Hai to wear protective gear or anything like that; he was quite aware of that.

At the Third Tier, the creature has already begun to Skin Tempering its skin with Origin Power. At this stage, even a sniper rifle would have difficulty penetrating its skin head-on, let alone itself.

Inhale... exhale... inhale... exhale...

Shen Heng calmly adjusted his breathing, then gripped the knife with both hands, raised it, and stared directly at Wang Hai.

"Captain, I'm here!"

"Um!"

Wang Hai nodded calmly.

Shen Heng bent his knees slightly, gathering and accumulating power in his feet. With a 'bang', he charged straight towards Wang Hai.

The distance, which wasn't far to begin with, was covered in the blink of an eye.

The long sword was raised and then swung down.

Bang!

A fleeting afterimage appeared, and the white ash wood knife separated them in a single touch.

Yu Jingming quickly took two steps to the side, then flipped the wooden sword in his hand and slashed at Shen Heng again.

Shen Heng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly raised the wooden knife upright. With a 'bang,' it sounded like a heavy hammer striking.

Before Shen Heng could react, Yu Jingming's wooden sword attacked again like a phantom, its moves fierce and its angles tricky, aimed straight at Shen Heng's throat.

Shen Heng took a deep breath and quickly took two steps back, simultaneously shifting his body to the side to narrowly avoid the knife, though the wooden blade still grazed his clothes.

Before he could think too much, Yu Jingming's next strike came hurtling towards him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Smack! Bang!...

The wooden swords clashed rapidly in the air, occasionally producing a 'snap' sound—the sound of Yu Jingming striking Shen Heng with his sword.

The two sides clashed fiercely in the training room.

As time went on, Shen Heng gradually adapted to Yu Jingming's attack rhythm. He locked his gaze on Yu Jingming and began to try to counterattack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Wooden knives collide.

Finally, after another fierce exchange of blows, Yu Jingming's full-force slash missed its mark, and his body swayed slightly.

Shen Heng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly flipped the wooden knife in his hand, thrusting forward with both hands holding the knife.

Whoosh--!

The wooden sword whistled as it slashed straight at Yu Jingming.

Bang!

The heavy thud echoed through the training room.

Yu Jingming finally sheathed his sword to block, but in his haste, he couldn't muster much strength and was forced to retreat several steps by the impact of the blow.

Without giving Yu Jingming much time to rest, Shen Heng quickly caught up, slashing repeatedly at Yu Jingming with his wooden sword.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Yu Jingming was initially at a disadvantage, but as time went by, he gradually recovered and regained the upper hand, suppressing Shen Heng.

a long time.

With a loud 'bang', the two figures separated.

Shen Heng stood there holding a knife in one hand, slightly out of breath. His black training clothes were wrinkled, all from being beaten by Yu Jingming.

As for Yu Jingming, he was currently leaning over, his hands supporting his wooden sword, panting heavily.

His swordsmanship was far superior to Shen Heng's, but he was still just an ordinary person. His physical abilities were far inferior to Shen Heng Shen Heng's, and his stamina was nowhere near as good.

Shen Heng glanced up at Yu Jingming was not far away.

For some reason, it felt a bit like when I practiced with the captain before. Back then, I was just as exhausted as Yu Jingming after we finished, while the captain was completely fine.

It's just that the roles have been reversed.

Hmm... no, the roles haven't been switched; I'm still the one getting beaten up...

Thinking of this, Shen Heng couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke the training clothes on his chest. Underneath the black training clothes were bruises left by Yu Jingming.

A dull ache emanated from the bruises all over his body, and Shen Heng couldn't help but gasp softly.

It actually hurt more when I was first hit, but it's better now.

Unfortunately, Shen Heng is only at the First Tier. Although he has begun to walk the path of the extraordinary, his extraordinary abilities are mainly reflected in his physical strength and speed. In terms of defense, although he is stronger than ordinary people, he is not much stronger.

In this situation, being struck by Yu Jingming, who comes from a family of martial arts masters, would still be extremely painful.
