Chapter 268 -265: Visiting to Express Gratitude
Martial Arts Hall first floor.
Because of the previous challenge event, at this moment, there were many more survivors within the Martial Arts Hall than before.
After the battle concluded, some on-looking survivors dispersed, while others applied for a temporary membership at Carmen and found themselves free equipment in the hall to start training.
Ordinary survivors didn’t feel anything special, but Awakeners, especially those of higher levels, clearly noticed the difference in the equipment of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Even if it couldn’t make them stronger in a short time, it could still serve a certain training purpose.
Obtaining a membership card was quite worthwhile, after all, the weekly fee for the membership card wasn’t expensive.
What these ordinary students cared about the most was the means that the Martial Arts Hall held in its hands that could make someone quickly become stronger.
Previously, Ji Ming and Xia Wanru, although they hadn’t exposed their identities as apprentices, had spent most of their time training in the Martial Arts Hall day after day, and many Awakeners had seen and recognized them. They knew that these two really had only trained in the Martial Arts Hall for a few days. Even facilities like the Gravity Room that were very helpful in enhancing physical fitness couldn’t possibly have such a rapid effect.
For a time, these people couldn’t find high-ranking individuals like Shay from Carmen and gathered around the two apprentices, inquiring about how to become a Core Apprentice of the Martial Arts Hall.
Mad Lion and other advanced Awakeners were green with regret… When the Extreme Martial Arts Hall first opened, they had expressed their desire to become Core Apprentices but were rejected, and after that, these people didn’t persist.
They were considered masters within the Sanctuary and all had their own pride. Within their own Mercenary Corps, they were either already high up or commanders themselves, and stooping to become someone else’s apprentice wasn’t something everyone was willing to do.
Since the Martial Arts Hall rejected them, they didn’t persist any further, reasoning that mastering Martial Arts, although powerful, would require a lot of time to learn. If they spent that time hunting Demonized Beasts or breaking through life-level barriers, their combat power might grow faster.
Now that they thought about it, there weren’t many who knew about the Extreme Martial Arts Hall back then, and those with the strength of the Fifth Tier were only a handful. If they had persisted a little longer back then, showed their dedication to martial practice, and spent a few more Source Crystals to build a relationship with the Martial Arts Hall Teacher, perhaps they would have already become Core Apprentices of the Martial Arts Hall?
Based on the performance of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall’s apprentices challenging those of higher levels, even if they hadn’t broken through that particular bottleneck, they could have combat power comparable to Sixth Layer Awakeners.
Thinking about this just led to more regret for the past.
Looking at the present situation, gathered around Ji Ming and Xia Wanru, there were more than just a few or ten Awakeners of the Fifth Tier, preventing them from slipping away.
It was only because those Boss Level individuals who had broken through their limitations hadn’t shown up. But if such Boss Level characters really wanted to learn in the Martial Arts Hall, they wouldn’t just dryly wait here—it was probably a matter of exchanging interests at that level.
Mad Lion stood in the distance, looking at the two apprentices who were encircled by layers of people, and felt melancholy in his heart.
At this moment, they heard some noise and muttered, “Another Awakener drawn by fame? It feels like our chances of becoming Core Apprentices are getting slimmer.”
Their gazes instinctively looked over, but what they saw was a group of about a dozen Awakeners dressed in the Security Team’s uniforms.
…
…
The Security Bureau managed all the big and small events within the Sanctuary and had a very significant deterrent power over both ordinary survivors and Awakeners.
As the dozen or so uniformed Awakeners walked through the door, people who were blocking the entrance, either chatting or just stopping by, scattered away.
Someone muttered, “Did someone actually report the Extreme Martial Arts Hall? Did the Security Team come because someone was killed?”
“Who would be such a blockhead to be that bold? With the strength of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, even if they were reported, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right? Maybe just a fine of some Source Crystals.”
“But don’t you think the number of people from the Security Bureau is a bit high? Plus those few walking alongside the Security Bureau, they seem like experts.”
“Not seem like, they are definitely experts, f*ck, their presence is so strong that even I can’t sense it clearly.”
The uniformed Awakeners, upon entering the Martial Arts Hall, cocked their ears to listen for a moment and then quickly headed towards where Ji Ming and Xia Wanru were surrounded.
At this time, the expressions on Ji Ming and Xia Wanru’s faces were troubled.
The surrounding Awakeners, one by one, hoped that they would say a good word to the teachers on their behalf, with many even pulling out Source Crystals as a bribe.
The two of them were helpless, but who else could speak with authority on the entire First Tier other than the two of them?
Shay and Chen Xiaojia had seen the unfavorable situation early on and had left.

Suddenly, the two of them noticed that the Awakeners who had been trying to push their way in from the outskirts had a change of expression, quickly stepping aside with a look of surprise and uncertainty, turning to look behind them.
Following this, more and more Awakeners began to disperse, opening up a pathway, even those from another direction had changes on their faces and couldn’t help but look up.
In an instant, Ji Ming and Xia Wanru felt it too—a strong presence, no, several strong presences approaching them.
Leading them was a middle-aged man with somewhat receding hairline, slightly overweight, but exuding an incredibly powerful aura.
The two couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
No matter how impressive their performance had been on the stage, they still felt oppressed, an instinctive reaction stemming from the immense gap in the level of life.
The middle-aged man with thinning hair approached them with a genial smile, “Young fellows, where is your Martial Arts Hall’s Hall Master and teachers?”
“Who are you?” Ji Ming asked cautiously.
“I’m Director Jin from the Security Bureau, we’ve brought the goods and need to hand them over to your Martial Arts Hall.”
Director Jin!
One of the big shots of Luoxia!
The surrounding Awakeners listened and were stunned for a moment.
Some noticed that the Security Team members behind them were carrying several large boxes.
Was there some kind of trade between the Security Bureau and the Extreme Martial Arts Hall?
For the Security Bureau to escort this shipment, with the Director himself taking charge, what exactly was in the boxes?
…
With Director Jin personally asking questions, the Awakeners surrounding the two apprentices, Ji Ming, felt it was neither polite nor were they courageous enough to keep surrounding them. They didn’t go far, however, but hid nearby, extremely curious.
Ji Ming spoke with Director Jin tentatively.
Mainly, Director Jin would ask a question, and he would repeatedly answer, while Xia Wanru quickly ran to the back door of the Martial Arts Hall.
—Shay had gone into hiding, but they were clear where the Carmen teachers usually trained.
Before long, Boss Carmen and the second-in-command followed Xia Wanru to the location.
Director Jin had met Boss Carmen before, the image of him boldly resisting Black Skull was still imprinted in his mind… even though he couldn’t distinguish between the two brothers, which was older and which was younger.
