Chapter 12: Joining the organization

Chen Hao threw a fireball, burning the man directly into ashes.

“Ding-dong!”

“Congratulations to the host, corpse processing successful!”

“Obtained E-grade ability—[Small Knife Hand]!”

Listening to the system prompt, Chen Hao was quite happy.

He had obtained a new ability again.

However, he wasn’t happy for long before he suddenly remembered one thing.

“Grandpa!”

Chen Hao became nervous instantly and ran into the house.

After searching every room.

Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no trace of his grandfather here, which meant his grandfather was temporarily safe and might not have returned yet.

Chen Hao immediately dialed his grandfather’s number.

The call was answered.

Before Chen Hao could ask, Gu Juji’s voice came from the other end.

“Is that Xiao Hao?”

“Yes, it’s Xiao Hao.”

“Xiao Hao, your grandfather is drinking here with me.”

“You don’t need to worry too much.”

Gu Juji said to Chen Hao.

“That’s right, Xiao Hao, I’m drinking at your Uncle Gu’s place.”

Hearing his grandfather’s voice, Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

“Grandpa, I’m glad you’re okay. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

“Drink less tonight; it’s too late, so just stay the night at Uncle Gu’s place.”

“Okay.”

Chen Qiang nodded, understanding.

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Hao looked at the black ash on the ground.

He went directly to the restroom, found a mop, and cleaned the floor.

After cleaning up.

Chen Hao’s brows were tightly locked.

“I must think of a way.”

He was an ability user now and barely had the power to protect himself.

But his grandfather was an ordinary person!

If he ran into someone from the Scorpion Brigade, wouldn’t that be like a sheep walking into a tiger’s den?

Thinking of this, Chen Hao called Tian Wenjing.

“What’s up? Why are you looking for me so late?”

“We just parted ways not long ago; you wouldn’t have fallen in love with me, would you?”

Listening to Tian Wenjing’s words, Chen Hao felt speechless.

“Didn’t you want to recruit me before?”

“Yeah, did you change your mind?”

“Yeah.”

Chen Hao’s words made Tian Wenjing silent for a moment.

After a long while, she said, “Why?”

“I’m seeking protection.”

“If I’m not mistaken, your organization should have protective measures for the families of its members, right?”

Just as Chen Hao finished speaking, Tian Wenjing spoke up.

“Did you run into something?”

“Let me guess.”

“It’s the Scorpion Brigade, right?”

It must be said that Tian Wenjing was too smart.

“Just tell me if it’s possible or not.”

Chen Hao asked directly.

“Yes, of course it’s possible; I’ll bring you to report tomorrow.”

“Help you get hired.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The next day.

Tian Wenjing came to Chen Hao’s house as promised.

She drove and brought Chen Hao to a high-rise building.

This high-rise building seemed particularly busy, with many people in uniforms coming in and out.

Under Tian Wenjing’s guidance.

Chen Hao arrived at a basement.

A burly man, 1.8 meters tall, was already waiting there.

The burly man was wearing a black tank top and green military trousers.

His whole body was full of explosive muscles, and those bell-like eyes were staring fixedly at Chen Hao.

“You are Chen Hao?”

“I am.”

“Hello, my name is Shi Jian!”

“I heard from Wenjing that you want to join our organization.”

“But you know, our organization doesn’t accept just any trash.”

“So if you want to join our organization, you must undergo our test.”

“A test? What test?”

“Fight me.”

“Fight you?”

Chen Hao’s brows furrowed.

Shi Jian was a sixth-tier General Realm expert.

Fighting him, Chen Hao feared it would be like an old man eating arsenic—tired of living.

Shi Jian seemed to see through Chen Hao’s thoughts.

“Don’t worry, I won’t attack.”

“You just come and hit me.”

“Remember, use all your strength.”

“Whether you pass or not depends on your performance, kid.”

“Okay.”

Chen Hao condensed a ball of fire in his right hand.

“Fire Manipulation?!”

Shi Jian was slightly stunned.

He hadn’t expected Chen Hao to actually possess the Fire Manipulation ability.

Boom!

The scorching flames sprayed toward Shi Jian.

Shi Jian hurriedly raised his arms to block.

Chen Hao discovered that Shi Jian’s hands seemed to be surrounded by a layer of phantom shadow.

Blocking his flames.

“Kid, is that all the ability you have?”

Hearing this, Chen Hao flew toward Shi Jian.

Launching a fierce attack on Shi Jian.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Hao’s fists, under the blessing of [Strength Enhancement], hit Shi Jian’s body.

He didn’t have the feeling of fists hitting flesh; instead, it felt like hitting cotton.

There was a thin film on the surface of Shi Jian’s skin, which discharged all of Chen Hao’s force.

“Such great strength, is this the [Strength Enhancement] ability?”

“This feeling, it should be C-grade [Strength Enhancement].”

Seeing that [Strength Enhancement] was ineffective.

Chen Hao turned his hands into blades, simultaneously using [Strength Enhancement] and [Small Knife Hand] abilities.

Rip!

The sharp hand-blade cut through Shi Jian’s thin film a little bit.

“Refreshing!”

Shi Jian couldn’t help himself for a moment, turned his right hand into a fist, and slammed it toward Chen Hao.

Chen Hao had nowhere to hide and could only raise his arms to block.

Boom!

Shi Jian’s fist slammed into Chen Hao’s hands.

Chen Hao felt as if he had been hit by a heavy truck.

His body flew backward quickly.

Thud!

Chen Hao slammed heavily into the wall behind him.

Cough, cough, cough!

He began to cough violently.

“Teacher Shi Jian!”

Tian Wenjing stood to the side, seeing Chen Hao being hit and flying by Shi Jian.

She stomped her foot in anger and then ran toward Chen Hao.

“Chen Hao, are you okay?”

Chen Hao panted heavily; he felt his arms burning with pain.

“Sorry, sorry, I couldn’t help myself for a moment!”

Shi Jian said to Chen Hao with an apologetic expression.

Then he continued: “Kid, you’re not bad; you passed.”

“You can come to work directly.”

“However, I have one requirement, and that is you must come to my class.”

“I’ll give you special training.”

“Your use of abilities is too poor.”

Hearing this, Tian Wenjing couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Shi Jian.

Then she helped Chen Hao up, “Chen Hao, I’ll take you to the infirmary.”

Chen Hao left with Tian Wenjing’s help.

Shi Jian’s face, which had been full of smiles, instantly became serious.

He took out the phone from his back pocket and began to check it.

Soon, he found Chen Hao’s information.

“His background is considered clean.”

“It’s just that when he awakened, he didn’t awaken any ability.”

“But now he has an ability.”

Shi Jian pondered slightly, and he made a decision.

“He should be a late awakener.”

In this world, many people are relatively slow.

Awakening abilities all happens after the awakening ceremony.

However, most people who awaken abilities will go to register in time.

But this guy Chen Hao, he didn’t care at all.

“This kid!”

Shi Jian didn’t know what to say about Chen Hao.

As for whether Chen Hao could be a beast or a void,

there was no need to worry; he had to pass through instrument testing when entering this base.
