Sir, this instructor was the one beating our students for no reason!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He tried to hit Li Mu too. Li Mu dodged, but he kept pressing him! That’s why Li Mu fought back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One stone sent a thousand waves crashing upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the students of Blackwater High School erupted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! He was the one bullying people first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, please investigate clearly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up! All of you shut the hell up!!” Red-Hair roared furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected the wall to fall and everyone to start pushing. So many students actually dared to step on him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Senior Wolf Guard officer backhanded him across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of disgraceful yelling is this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the officer turned to his adjutant. “Pull up the surveillance footage from this area for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, sir!” The adjutant immediately took out his phone and began operating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-Hair was instantly horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were surveillance cameras here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he not know that??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he never would have dared to pull this kind of stunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he had dared to do this in the first place was because he had heard that some officers did the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the female students they had toyed with never dared to speak out at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Partly because they wanted to protect their reputations, and partly because they were afraid of the power of the Abyss-Suppressing Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the students of Blackwater High School began looking around everywhere, but they could not spot any cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had originally been worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it came down to mere words, with both sides insisting on different stories, they would have no proof at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that officer had chosen to side with Red-Hair, there would have been nothing they could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after watching the surveillance footage, the officer’s eyes erupted with surging fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Red-Hair and said coldly, “Find out who approved this piece of trash to serve as an instructor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the patrol guards answered and jogged off at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-Hair, meanwhile, was trembling all over in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how much I clean house, I can never wipe out garbage like you completely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drag him away. Send him, along with this surveillance footage, straight to the Enforcement Department!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the officer ordered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he heard the words “Enforcement Department,” Red-Hair’s remaining left leg went weak on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unidentified liquid came rushing out through his pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two assistant instructors answered at once and prepared to take him to the Medical Department first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medical capabilities of the High-Martial World were extremely advanced. As long as it was within a certain time limit, even severed limbs could be reattached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are not taking him to the Medical Department. Send him directly to the Enforcement Department!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the officer barked coldly, and the last bit of hope in Red-Hair’s heart died completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not even going to treat his leg??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no helping it. Medical resources were scarce too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many good soldiers fighting on the battlefield were already hard to save and hard to treat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could anyone possibly waste even the tiniest bit of medical resources on trash like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the instructors were taken away, the officer finally turned toward Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Mu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer clearly did not know Li Mu, so he showed no surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m asking you: was what you used just now the Flowing Cloud Triple Shock?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Li Mu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why were there five shocks?” the officer asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I broke through it through self-study,” Li Mu answered, neither servile nor overbearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer nodded, then turned toward the students of Blackwater High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take out your phones and turn on video recording!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students of Blackwater High School were all confused, but they still did as they were told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone had turned on their cameras, the officer faced Li Mu solemnly and said in a clear voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Qin Zhanye, Senior Wolf Guard of the Abyss-Suppressing Army! I need your help with something. Would you be willing to come with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu had been confused at first as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye had told all the students to take out their phones and start recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he had openly stated his identity and asked Li Mu to come with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his way of reassuring both Li Mu and everyone else that he was not trying to retaliate over what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had some other matter to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything happened to Li Mu, they could expose him publicly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the man had already been this open and aboveboard, Li Mu naturally found it hard to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Li Mu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Reassign instructors for them. You, come with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye nodded. The first half was directed at his subordinates, and the second half at Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he strode ahead to lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire person radiated a kind of upright and open authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he had appeared until now, Li Mu realized that the man had not spoken a single unnecessary word!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Qin Zhanye, Li Mu arrived in front of a steel fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sign above the fortress bore a single line of words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Major Techniques Research Department】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards at the entrance immediately stood at attention and saluted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolf Guard Qin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye nodded. “I’ve brought someone to see Director Song and Professor Xu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll report it for you right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the guards quickly ran inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu was inwardly startled. He had no idea what this Major Techniques Research Department actually did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Zhanye’s status as a Senior Wolf Guard clearly carried weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet even here, he could not enter directly. He still had to report in and wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the guard came hurrying back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolf Guard, please go in. Director Song and Professor Xu are currently in a meeting. They asked you to go in and wait a moment. The meeting will end shortly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye beckoned to Li Mu and led the way inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered the research department, Li Mu immediately understood Qin Zhanye’s purpose in bringing him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People coming and going throughout the department were all civilian staff dressed in ordinary clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the walls, one technique name after another was listed, all of them common Mortal-Grade techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade types, spear types, sword types, staff types...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu casually glanced through the spear-and-staff section, and there it was—Flowing Cloud Triple Shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these techniques had been produced through people recording and passing on their own comprehension and understanding of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this place was where the Abyss-Suppressing Army mass-produced Mortal-Grade techniques on a large scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye brought Li Mu to the door of a meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man dressed like an assistant had already come up to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Qin Zhanye an apologetic smile and lowered his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolf Guard Qin, the Director is in a meeting. Please wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he simply stood there like a stone tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left Li Mu speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolf Guard Qin, aren’t you going to ask for my opinion first?” Li Mu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm? Didn’t you already agree?” Qin Zhanye froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agreed to come with you. I didn’t agree to let you do whatever you wanted without explaining anything!” Li Mu said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye was speechless for a moment. “That’s actually true!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant beside them looked back and forth between the two of them with a completely baffled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll ask you first. Do you know what this place is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only vaguely,” Li Mu shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye nodded and drew a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the war against the Abyss, the casualty rate has remained high year after year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Students like you can at least fill yourselves with learning at school before going down into the Abyss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But many martial artists leave school for all kinds of reasons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some of them, when they join the Abyss-Suppressing Army, only know inner cultivation and nothing else!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why the Abyss-Suppressing Army has to distribute a large number of low-level techniques for free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is the Technique Research Department of the Abyss-Suppressing Army.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are many technique researchers in this department. Their comprehension is extremely high, their mastery of techniques is profound, and they keep improving without end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They mass-produce Mortal-Grade techniques, laying them nonstop like hens producing eggs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They nourish the fresh blood of the Abyss-Suppressing Army.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye spoke in an exceptionally grave tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the assistant beside them could only roll his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of terrible metaphor was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you didn’t know how to use metaphors, you could have just spoken plainly. Who exactly was the hen supposed to be??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the reason you brought me here is...?” Li Mu prompted him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among Mortal-Grade techniques, spear techniques are a major category.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And within spear techniques, the Flowing Cloud Triple Shock is one of the most widely spread.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you to share your understanding with them and see whether it might help them improve it even further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if this works, merit will be rewarded accordingly. I absolutely won’t let you help for nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Qin Zhanye had understood Li Mu’s meaning and took the initiative to mention a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk in detail about that reward...” Li Mu cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1634,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.454Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","1b85fe97fba0f37a202903a5994da1637be061ea60fb200769036f09d8f555c2","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-10","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-8",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
