10: Chapter 10: The First Battle of a Lowly Person's Counterattack! Slapping Faces and Being Promoted to Reserve Officer

At this moment, Gu Han acted on the principle that if there are resources, they must be used.

After some deep contemplation, he used his last life origin crystal on the cultivation of the movement Martial Skill, "Flying on Grass".

In an instant, ten years of cultivation memories and experience flooded into his mind.

At the same time, his legs became light and powerful under the infusion of Qi and blood; his blood vessels expanded and contracted, while his muscles and leg bones grew stronger.

He lightly tapped his feet on the ground in the courtyard and involuntarily slid forward for a distance of a zhang. The contact between his boot soles and the ground was so subtle that if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice any traces at all.

"Damn it!"

"I didn't expect the 'Flying on Grass' at Minor Achievement level to have such an effect."

"With the help of this movement technique, I have absolutely no fear of anyone in the Body Tempering Realm."

"It's a pity my Aptitude is still too weak."

"If my Aptitude were better, ten years of cultivating such a Body Tempering Realm movement technique would definitely have reached Perfection."

"No wonder those Sects and Holy Lands always favor Prodigies."

Thinking of this, Gu Han couldn't help but sigh at his own Aptitude.

However, it was just a fleeting thought.

The next morning.

Gu Han had passed the night peacefully.

"I hope I can sleep peacefully like this in the future."

But Gu Han knew that being able to sleep so peacefully last night was simply because the Fierce Tiger Gang and the people behind them hadn't reacted yet.

Thinking of this, Gu Han decided that once he arrived at the prison, he would apply for the assessment to become a reserve Zhenwu Guard.

According to his memories, a prison Jailer is not a Jailer for life.

Any Jailer who breaks through to the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm before the age of thirty can apply for the assessment.

Furthermore, after becoming a reserve Zhenwu Guard, one can become a formal Zhenwu Guard if they break through to the Meridian Connecting Realm within a year.

Once one becomes a formal Zhenwu Guard, the salary, resources, and so on will all be different.

This is also one of the few opportunities for Jailers to shed their humble status.

Unfortunately, since the establishment of the prison, very few Jailers have succeeded.

Moreover, by becoming a reserve Zhenwu Guard, the Fierce Tiger Gang and those who desperately want to attack him will have to show some restraint.

After all, although the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty is currently in turmoil, it is not something a third-rate Gang like the Fierce Tiger Gang can touch.

After a simple wash, Gu Han put on his Jailer uniform.

"Today is the last time I will wear this uniform."

Gu Han couldn't help but encourage himself.

Immediately, he went out.

Arriving at the prison, Gu Han did not go to the Jailer shift room to wait for his duty.

Instead, he went straight to the Zhenwu Guard station at the prison.

"Are you lost, Jailer?"

"This is the Zhenwu Guard station, not a place you should come to."

"If you don't leave now, you won't be able to avoid a beating."

Before Gu Han could report, the Zhenwu Guard at the entrance of the station arrogantly scolded him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Han stopped and his eyes narrowed.

In an instant, he adjusted his composure.

"I ask that you please guide me, my lord; I wish to take the assessment for the Zhenwu Guard."

Hearing this, the guard laughed.

"Just you?"

"Is the Zhenwu Guard something a Jailer like you dares to think about?"

"Overestimating yourself."

"Get lost, you brat."

"Go back and honestly be your humble Jailer; you're dreaming of ascending to the heavens."

After the guard finished speaking, he continued to laugh loudly.

At this moment, the anger in Gu Han's heart was unbearable, and he immediately wanted to give him a sound beating.

But thinking of the assessment for the reserve Zhenwu Guard, he suppressed it.

At this time, the guard, after laughing, saw that Gu Han was still standing in the same spot.

"Since you need a beating, This Young Master will fulfill your wish."

"It just so happens that This Young Master has nowhere to vent his anger!"

He immediately walked down, constantly cracking his knuckles.

Seeing this, Gu Han said loudly.

"According to the rules of the Zhenwu Division, any prison Jailer can apply for the Zhenwu Guard assessment."

"My lord, do you intend to violate this rule?"

As Gu Han's voice rang out, the other Zhenwu Guards in the station heard it too.

The guard was also taken aback by Gu Han's shout.

He didn't expect Gu Han to be so bold to this extent.

Other Zhenwu Guards who heard Gu Han's voice curiously appeared at the entrance.

One of the Zhenwu Guards saw Gu Han's Jailer attire and mocked the guard.

"Xu Hua, a tiny Jailer dares to provoke you?"

"If I were you, I'd take a piece of tofu and smash myself to death."

As the words fell, the other Zhenwu Guards all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Xu Hua was instantly furious and retorted.

"Yan Feng, shut up."

"Don't think I'm afraid of you."

Then, he glared fiercely at Gu Han.

"Kid, you made me lose face."

"If I don't make you lie in bed for a month, This Young Master will take your surname."

As his words fell, a fist whistled through the air.

Seeing this, Gu Han dodged to the side, turned his palm into a blade, and chopped Xu Hua's arm, breaking it.

"Ah!"

"It hurts so much!"

Xu Hua instantly held his broken right hand and screamed continuously.

Seeing this, Yan Feng looked at Gu Han in shock.

A moment later, Yan Feng spoke up.

"Brothers, this guy hurt a Zhenwu Guard, let's go forward together and take him down."

Immediately, the Zhenwu Guards who were watching the show swarmed forward.

Seeing this, Gu Han secretly prepared his defense.

"What are you all doing?"

"It's early in the morning; aren't you going to Cultivate? Don't you want to become a formal Zhenwu Guard?"

A voice came from inside.

As the voice fell, a Zhenwu Guard wearing a formal Zhenwu Guard uniform slowly walked out.

Seeing the person arrive, before Gu Han could speak, Xu Hua struggled to climb up and ran to the person.

"Lord Zhang, this kid provoked the Zhenwu Guard."

"To preserve the reputation of the Zhenwu Guard, I went forward to reason with him."

"This kid didn't admit his mistake and even injured me."

"Yan Feng and the others can testify for me."

"I ask that you please make the decision for me, my lord."

After Xu Hua finished speaking, Yan Feng and the others also chimed in.

Watching Xu Hua twist the truth, Gu Han didn't rush to explain.

The person looked at Xu Hua, saw that his arm had been broken, his expression changed, and he looked at Gu Han with stern eyes.

"Kid, is what Xu Hua said true?"

"Someone, take him down for me."

After the person finished speaking, Gu Han said calmly and unhurriedly.

"I didn't expect the Zhenwu Guard to be so unreasonable and twist the truth."

"I have truly broadened my horizons today."

Hearing Gu Han's sarcasm and seeing his calm expression, the person smiled meaningfully.

"Oh!"

"Kid, tell me about it."

"If you can't explain yourself, I'm afraid you won't escape with your life today."

Seeing the change in the person's expression, Gu Han felt a bit of doubt in his heart.

However, at this point, he could only bite the bullet.

Gu Han could sense that the person's cultivation was not low, and he was no match for him.

As for Yan Feng and the others, he didn't care.

Immediately, Gu Han recounted what had just happened.

After listening to Gu Han's description, the person looked sternly at Xu Hua and the others.

Seeing this, Xu Hua still tried to quibble.

"My lord, it was I who stopped him."

"But I was doing it for his own good."

"He is a Jailer who doesn't work properly in the prison, but instead insists on having delusional fantasies."

Hearing this, the person became angry.

"It seems you have forgotten the rules of the Zhenwu Guard."

Just as the person continued to speak.

Captain Zhang also arrived in front of the station.

Seeing Gu Han, he thought he had come to find him.

"Kid Gu, have you come to find me?"

Seeing Captain Zhang, Gu Han bowed.

"Reporting to you, my lord, I have come today specifically to apply for the reserve Zhenwu Guard assessment."

Hearing this, Captain Zhang carefully examined Gu Han, taking in his cultivation level.

"Kid Gu, you were a person without any cultivation yesterday, and overnight you have cultivated to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm."

"Don't tell me the Medicinal Pill I gave you has such strong efficacy!"

When Xu Hua and the others heard this, they looked at Gu Han in shock and disbelief.

Xu Hua subconsciously said.

"This is impossible?"

"How could he have the cultivation of the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm?"

Then, he said loudly.

"Captain, don't be fooled by this kid."

Captain Zhang turned his head to stare at Xu Hua.

"Are you questioning this Captain?"

Xu Hua immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Captain Zhang.

"I dare not."

At this moment, the hatred in Xu Hua's heart toward Gu Han was monstrous.

"Hmph!"

"If there is a next time, get out of the Zhenwu Guard."

Captain Zhang scolded sternly.

Then he turned to look at Gu Han.

Seeing this, Gu Han calmly responded.

"My lord, I accidentally found an unnamed Medicinal Pill left behind by my father."

"In order to heal my injuries, I had to take it."

"I didn't expect that when I woke up, I would have my current cultivation."

"Therefore, I have come here specifically to apply for the assessment."

Hearing this, Captain Zhang was stunned for a moment.

A moment later, he said with a smile.

"You have good Opportunity, kid!"

He did not doubt it, as there are countless types of Medicinal Pills that can help people break through to the Body Tempering Realm.

Moreover, these are low-grade Medicinal Pills that can be bought with money.

"Since you are already at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm."

"Given your status, according to the rules, no other assessment is needed."

Then, he said to the person who had arrived earlier.

"Zhu You, take this kid to register, and by the way, teach him the rules and precepts."

"Yes, my lord!"
