65: Chapter 65 Suppression? Establishing Authority! Realistic Acting!

"Supervisor Lu, the Burning Bone Beast Arena has a total of thirteen major districts, five of which are located within Ningan City."

"The Fifth District you are responsible for is a newly established area located in the Outer City of Ningan. Specific operations are handled by designated personnel and are currently being rolled out. However, this is only temporary; once you arrive, you can conduct everything according to your wishes."

An earthy-yellow, somewhat aged large vehicle was driving steadily along the road.

In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a somewhat nonchalant expression was explaining the situation to Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun, sitting in the back seat, gave a simple grunt of acknowledgment and then kept his eyes closed.

The man glanced at Lu Qingyun through the rearview mirror but didn't say anything more.

After all, his mission was just to explain the situation and drop Lu Qingyun off at the destination.

Moreover, the entire Fifth District had only just begun, and it was uncertain whether it would even be kept open after this.

After all, within the vast Ningan City, forces were intertwined and complex.

Although the Burning Bone Beast Arena was an industry under the Ning Family, it was not guaranteed smooth sailing.

Simply put, this place was just for Lu Qingyun to mess around with.

If any problems arose, it wouldn't be a loss.

Anyway, it was dispensable.

Therefore, seeing Lu Qingyun acting nonchalant, he didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

"Supervisor Lu, we have arrived."

The vehicle drove for a long time before finally stopping outside a venue that covered a massive area.

This place belonged to the Outer City of Ningan, and its level of prosperity was obviously more than a notch lower than the Inner City!

However, even if it was just the Outer City, it was still much better than a small place like Jiang City.

Lu Qingyun opened his eyes, and deep within those calm pupils, a flash of explosive red light flickered!

Just now, while in the car, he had absorbed all the beast cores he obtained from Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan.

The results were excellent.

Although the experience provided couldn't support Lu Qingyun in leveling up, the five beast cores had allowed him to gain two additional talents!

One was Hardened Surface, which could significantly increase the hardness of his skin for a short period.

The other was the damage-type Fireball, which could generate a high-damage explosive Fireball out of thin air by consuming mental energy or blood qi!

Lu Qingyun felt these two talents were very reasonable.

After all, as a cute little Slime, it was perfectly reasonable to be able to turn from soft and squishy to exceptionally hard, as well as spit a few Fireballs, right?

Outside the venue, a group of people was already waiting. Clearly, they had received the notification long ago.

Lu Qingyun scanned them; the leader was a Xiantian Martial Artist, not particularly strong. As for the others, they were all Aperture Opening Realm ants.

"Supervisor Lu!! We have finally been waiting for you!"

The former supervisor of the Fifth District, now the deputy supervisor, Shi Jian, walked up quickly, looking very enthusiastic.

"You must be tired from the journey, Supervisor Lu. The welcome banquet has already been arranged."

"We even specially prepared the local specialties from your hometown, Jiang City, for you. We guarantee you will be satisfied!"

"Is that so? That is indeed thoughtful." Lu Qingyun had a faint smile on his lips, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes!

Jiang City specialties? In such a short time, they had actually found out his background. And to specifically mention it during their first meeting, the meaning... went without saying.

Sure enough, anywhere involving interests, such things were unavoidable.

"Since I've dropped you off, I'll be heading back. I wish Supervisor Lu great martial luck and that you take the top spot in the Martial Examination!"

The middle-aged man driving squinted his eyes and specifically said this loudly before leaving.

This made Shi Jian glance sideways, and the malice in his eyes receded slightly. But it was only slightly.

After all, he, Shi Jian, had worked so hard to get to this point. He hadn't been supervisor for many days before his position was taken by such a parachuted "young master."

This wouldn't feel good for anyone!

So, at the first opportunity, he went to inquire about the situation of this newly arrived "young master." The result was even simpler than he had anticipated!

A student expelled from the Tianjiao Camp, and one from a small city at that!

If not for the Ning Family young miss charitably giving him a way out, he would probably have already scurried back to prepare for the Martial Examination by now.

"Nepotism is hateful!" "A mere Aperture Opening Realm kid, I don't know how many I could slap to death with one palm, yet he actually stepped right on top of me!"

Shi Jian was filled with envy, jealousy, and extreme unwillingness! But helplessly, this appointment came from above; he didn't dare... not to comply.

But there are policies above and countermeasures below! He could be the supervisor, and he could temporarily step on his head. But he couldn't stay on top of him forever!

From now until the start of the Martial Examination, if this kid was sensible, didn't interfere randomly, and just acted as a mascot, then once he passed the Martial Examination and went to a top university, everyone would be at peace.

But if this kid didn't know what was good for him... having been out in the world for so many years, with the strength and status he had today, he naturally had plenty of methods!

"Let's go. What are you still standing there for?" Lu Qingyun's voice rang out, and then a hand rested on Shi Jian's shoulder with great familiarity.

Shi Jian withdrew his gaze from the departing vehicle. This slightly commanding tone, and the disdain revealed in this action, made Shi Jian, who already had resentment in his heart, even more unhappy.

But at this initial moment, he couldn't flare up, so he could only force a smile. After signaling with his eyes for his restless underlings nearby not to move, he took the initiative to use his hand to remove the arm from his shoulder.

It was just... when he exerted force, it didn't budge at all!

"Hmm!?" Shi Jian sensed something was wrong, but more of it was anger at Lu Qingyun's overestimation of himself. As a dignified Xiantian Martial Artist, he was actually being given a hard time by an Aperture Opening Realm junior.

So what if he was a member of the Tianjiao Camp? He was just a weakling who had been expelled! Who gave you the confidence to provoke a Xiantian Martial Artist!?

The forced smile on Shi Jian's face gradually faded. He glanced at Lu Qingyun, and the initial enthusiasm in his eyes completely vanished. The force in his hand slowly increased, breaking through to the level of a Xiantian Martial Artist!

He wanted to see the submission and pain on Lu Qingyun's face. But... it still didn't budge at all!

Shi Jian's underlings nearby looked at each other; they could see this seemed to be a contest between the two. But why... was their supervisor Shi Jian exerting so much force that his face was turning red, while the green kid opposite him showed no reaction at all?

Could it be that their supervisor Shi Jian was using extremely superb acting skills to express friendliness to the new supervisor?

As expected of Supervisor Shi Jian! To be able to endure so much; indeed, once this period passed, the supervisor of the Fifth District would still be him, so there was absolutely no need to make a scene!

However, just when they were thinking this, they saw the hand Lu Qingyun had placed on Shi Jian's shoulder slightly loosen, and then... clamp onto Shi Jian's neck!

As if holding a little chick, ignoring Shi Jian's frantic struggling, he walked toward the venue step by step!

This scene left them stunned in place. Immediately after, there was enthusiastic cheering!

"Supervisor Shi's acting skills are so superb; those bulging veins and tendons are truly too realistic!"

"That's right! This look of being about to be strangled; if it were me, I'm afraid even if I did it for real, I couldn't act it out this realistically!"

(Sad, the sample manuscript I stayed up all night writing didn't pass.)
