Invisible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wujiu leaned back in his seat, eyes closed, but opened them with a smile. “A tracking-prevention barrier—the first line of defense for the Night Watch Headquarters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the car came to a smooth stop before a cluster of buildings built into the mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray-green stone walls were covered in ivy; bronze bells hung beneath the eaves, ringing clearly without wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t feel like a heavily guarded headquarters—it exuded an ancient, tranquil stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here.” Lu Wujiu stepped out first, pointing to two figures standing by the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s Deputy Lin Qing and Doctor Zhou Zheng. Your temporary quarters and regular medications have been arranged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia and the others got out, and the military-uniformed Deputy Lin handed them three silver cards. “These are identity cards—they unlock your dorm and training area doors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor Zhou will give Itachi a physical exam. After last night’s shock, better safe than sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng turned the card over and over in his hands. “Can this card open the weapons depot? I heard the Night Watch has heavy crossbows that can kill beast monsters…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, the exam.” Jiang Xia slapped his back and shoved him toward Doctor Zhou, then turned to Lu Wujiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Lu, can we see the files on the connection between the Mountain-Sea Cataclysm and the Cult of the Evil God?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wujiu led him toward the main building. “Rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, specialized combat instructors will train Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Su Changfeng will be here—he has clues Itachi’ve never heard before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia nodded, his gaze sweeping across the photo wall along the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In black-and-white photos, men in old military uniforms held crude rifles, their backs to smoky forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In color photos, men in modern uniforms stood beside laser cannons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flowed across the photos, yet all carried the same unwavering aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those are the earliest Night Watch members,” Lu Wujiu said, following his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first Night Watch held back the first Mountain-Sea Cataclysm with nothing but swords and guns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now we have barriers and firearms, but our core purpose remains the same: protecting the safety of humanity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two reached a dorm door. Lu Wujiu swiped the card to open it. “Itachi and Wang Teng share the room across from each other. Ye Lingxi’s room is next door. Each has a private bathroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dinner will be delivered to your door. If Itachi need anything, press the red button by your bed—Deputy Lin will come immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia was about to thank him when a shout echoed from the end of the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor Zhou! Can my physique learn your instant-step technique? The one where Itachi zip three meters in a flash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wujiu chuckled. “This kid adapts fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped Jiang Xia on the shoulder. “Don’t overthink it. Sleep well tonight. With us here, no one can touch a single hair on Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door closed. Jiang Xia walked to the window, pulled back the curtain, and saw several Night Watch members in uniform patrolling the courtyard with tamed beast monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone vibrated—a message from Ye Lingxi: “My grandfather says the Cult of the Evil God’s leader is still among humans. Be careful in the coming days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia replied, “Understood,” and just put his phone down when a thud came from across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Wang Teng’s wail: “My head! Why is this closet so short?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia couldn’t help smiling. He walked over and knocked on the door. “Fatty, if Itachi take apart the closet, tomorrow Itachi’re cleaning Deputy Lin’s guns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise across the hall stopped instantly. After a few seconds, Wang Teng poked his head out, scratching his scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah, better not. Cleaning guns wears out your hands—I need to keep them for finger muscle training.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night deepened. One by one, the lights in the dorm area went out. Jiang Xia lay in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of what Director Liu had said, of Lu Wujiu’s promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of Wang Teng’s loud antics and Ye Lingxi’s resolute gaze—and deep inside, he fully accepted this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, Jiang Xia was still asleep when a muffled thud from across the hall jolted him awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed his silver ID card, opened the door, and saw Wang Teng sitting on the floor, knees drawn up, training uniform half-spread beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No combat yet, and Itachi’re practicing wrestling?” Jiang Xia bent down to pick up his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The floor’s too slippery—I slipped while putting it on,” Wang Teng said, rising and pulling on the uniform while clutching his rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two found Ye Lingxi and headed toward the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Deputy Lin stood at the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall-mounted holographic projectors lit up, projecting a virtual forest scene into the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to weapon racks on either side. “Today’s combat training—Itachi may choose your own weapons. Only one rule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Repel the virtual beast monster before it breaches the line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng’s eyes lit up. He dashed to the racks, grabbed a crossbow, and tested the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing looks awesome! I’ll be the main damage dealer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi chose a silver longsword and spun a few elegant sword flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia didn’t pick any equipment from the arsenal—he drew his Kusanagi sword and assumed a battle stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they were ready, Lin Qing pressed the button. A white-headed, red-footed monkey emerged from deep within the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qing’s voice came through the speakers: “This is Zhuyan, a destruction-level beast monster that once invaded humanity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the Sword Saint slew it, we extracted its bloodline and replicated its combat techniques and abilities. Its power is only at the early Fourth Stage. Defeat it, and Itachi win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished, Zhuyan crouched and lunged at Wang Teng with lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng instinctively pulled the trigger. The rune-inscribed bolt shot straight—but Zhuyan raised a hand and shattered it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! This thing’s hide is too tough!” Wang Teng stumbled backward in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuyan ignored him, stamped its red foot on the ground, and lunged its claws toward Ye Lingxi’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi reacted instantly, crossing her silver sword before her. *Clang!* The blade met the claws—and she was thrown back two steps, her arm numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia, seeing this, slashed from behind with his Kusanagi, the blade wrapped in Chidori lightning, aimed at Zhuyan’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuyan whirled its head, baring its white fangs, and charged straight at Jiang Xia without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade scraped across Zhuyan’s body—leaving not even a scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s heart sank. Even as a phantom, the destruction-level combat instinct was still too hard to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the monitoring room, Lu Wujiu watched the three battling Zhuyan with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhuyan is only Fourth Stage, but its destruction-level combat instinct is still too fierce even for peers to handle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qing nodded. “Ordinary psychics struggle against it unless they’re late Great Martial Master. I wonder how far these three can go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wujiu’s expression didn’t change. “Let’s see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the virtual forest, Zhuyan leapt into the air, hurtling toward all three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi immediately raised her sword to block—but the impact numbed her wrist. “Its strength is far stronger than estimated! We can’t block it head-on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng took the chance to step back two paces, aimed at Zhuyan’s eyes, and fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt screamed through the air—but Zhuyan twisted its head, letting the arrow whistle past its ear, then snatched a leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferocity of weapons is the origin of calamity! The Demon Weapon Mirror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaf suddenly rose into the air. At the moment Zhuyan stamped its foot, black energy coiled around it, transforming it into a razor-sharp blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of leaves became blades, raining down on the three like a storm, slicing the air with sharp, tearing whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>",1349,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2b158e1b17129ff803ec4b7fe15f926b5c35f84258b15aed858b8609af97606c","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-30","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-28",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
