Stop looking, quickly pick a line and get in!
A middle-aged police officer saw them standing there blankly and quickly raised his hand to call out to them.
Upon hearing this, the group snapped out of their daze and finally felt completely relieved.
The short-haired girl turned her head and looked around, then chose a line that she felt was shorter and would allow her to join it faster.
She walked to the end of the line and joined the queue.
However, as soon as she stood there, she saw a police officer standing behind her with a sign.
"This is?"
The short-haired girl asked, somewhat puzzled.
"We don't have that many testing equipment, so the number of people in different lines is different," the officer explained.
"Oh, oh!" The short-haired girl nodded, seemingly understanding, and quietly joined the queue.
A few minutes later, she finally walked out of the school gate.
It was at this moment that she saw what lay at the end of the line.
They were rows of blue tents; she counted, and there were eight in total.
Without thinking further, she quietly resumed queuing.
Ten minutes later, it was finally her turn.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, she cautiously stepped inside.
The blue tent curtain was drawn back, revealing a space filled with a faint white mist.
Because it was nearing evening and the tent flaps were drawn, providing little light, a warm lamp was specially lit inside the tent for illumination.
After scanning the inside of the tent, her gaze settled on a figure.
It was a figure wearing the same school uniform as himself, except that his chest was stained with some blood.
In the warm light, wisps of hair fell gently across his forehead, his face was soft, yet his features held a touch of fortitude, and his star-like eyes looked up at me...
He smiled gently.
Don't worry, it's all over!
June.
Night, the Supervision Bureau, the restaurant.
The members of the Supervision Bureau were sitting around in the restaurant enjoying their dinner.
After swallowing the meat chop in his mouth, Shen Heng turned to look at Wang Hai and said:
"By the way, Captain, I need to ask for three days off in a few days!"
"What's wrong?" Wang Hai turned to look at Shen Heng.
"Someone in my family is taking the college entrance exam, and my mom asked me to pick her up and drop her off!" Shen Heng replied.
Wang Hai lowered his head and thought for a moment, "You have an older sister, right?"
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded.
"Okay, I understand. But if you receive any missions, remember to come over. We can arrange for other people to pick you up and drop you off!" Wang Hai replied.
"Yes, I understand!" Shen Heng nodded.
Hearing their conversation, Han Ling said excitedly:
"The college entrance exam is coming up soon, so does that mean Gu Nan will be here soon?"
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, she should come sometime after the exam!"
"That's great! Now our Linhai City Supervision Bureau finally has a second female member!" Han Ling said happily.
Shen Heng raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't noticed this issue before if Han Ling hadn't mentioned it, but...
Considering that the staff of the Supervision Bureau are mainly from the military and police, this situation seems perfectly normal.
" Shen Heng, aren't you going to take the college entrance exam?" Wu Cheng leaned back in his chair and looked at Shen Heng.
"I'm not going. I haven't studied at all, what would I do there? Besides, even if I get a high score, I still won't go. Taking the college entrance exam would be a complete waste of my time!" Shen Heng replied.
"Sigh! You don't understand. A life without experiencing the college entrance examination is an incomplete life!" Wu Cheng sighed.
"Yeah, I think you should give it a try too!" Wang Hai nodded in agreement from the side.
Shen Heng glanced at the captain with some surprise, then looked away at the others.
Apart from Old Li Jianguo, everyone else present seemed to agree.
No... Shen Heng tried to put himself in her shoes.
If I were in their shoes and looking at a young person, I probably would think the same way, since the college entrance examination is still very important in today's society.
As for Old Li, it's normal that he didn't nod, after all, many people in his generation didn't participate in the college entrance examination.
Although everyone urged Shen Heng to take the college entrance examination, Shen Heng still had no intention of doing so, since he wasn't really a high school student.
"No, I'd rather not go!" Shen Heng shook his head.
Wang Hai nodded, but didn't offer any further advice.
The college entrance examination is just a milestone on the road of life; it's good to have it, but it won't make a big difference if you don't.
Only Wu Cheng shook his head with some regret, as if Shen Heng didn't know how to cherish what he had.
After finishing dinner, Shen Heng returned to his training room.
He walked slowly to the center of the training room and sat down cross-legged.
After adjusting his breathing, he began his practice for the day.
The Origin Power slowly flowed towards his skull...
Shen Heng had already completed the tempering of his torso bones, lower limb bones, and upper limb bones.
He has been tempering even his skull for many days, and now only the part on the top of his head has not been tempered yet.
If he can finish refining that last bit of bone tempering today and seal it off, his first round of Bone Tempering will be complete!
Tier 1 requires tempering the entire skeleton three times. Only after tempering the human skeleton three times can one advance to Tier 2.
Of course, you can refine it several times if you want, but there aren't many benefits to it.
Because there's no such thing as something that can last a lifetime just by being tempered at a low level.
Just like Shen Heng's Tier 0 Body Tempering, when he was cultivating at First Tier, he didn't just temper his bones, but Bone Tempering and Body Tempering at the same time.
The same applies to Tier 2; at that point, it will be Tier 0 Body Tempering + Tier 1 Bone Tempering + Tier 2 Blood Tempering, all three simultaneously.
To refine this thing, you have to keep guiding the Origin Power to temper it as long as you continue to cultivate.
Therefore, there is no point in refining your bones several times in the Second Tier. It is better to start the Third Tier of cultivation, improve your physique as soon as possible, increase the total amount of Origin Power that your body can hold, and then use more Origin Power to refine them.
Returning to the process of cultivation.
Under Shen Heng's guidance, the Origin Power gradually gathered at the top of his head.
If you could see it directly, you would notice that a faint blue-white fluorescent light is gathering above Shen Heng's head.
Where the Origin Power converges, Shen Heng can clearly feel the difference between the center and the outside.
Compared to the outer skeleton, the inner skeleton is relatively brittle; it is the part that needs to be tempered.
Under Shen Heng's control, the Origin Power gradually seeped into the last bit of skull.
The first wisp, the second wisp, the third wisp...
More and more Origin Power is drilling into the top of the head.
Shen Heng's scalp tightened involuntarily, and the hair in that spot stood on end...
A sharp, needle-like pain came from the top of his head, but Shen Heng, who had countless experiences, merely frowned slightly and continued to control the Origin Power to penetrate into his bones.
"Buzzing..."
A faint tremor echoed in Shen Heng's ears; it was the vibration of the Origin Power impacting his bones.
Finally, at a certain moment, the Origin Power swept directly across the top of Shen Heng's head like a flood, enveloping his entire skull.
A faint, cool sensation emanated from my head...
Shen Heng slowly opened his eyes.
First round of Bone Tempering complete!
