In theory, he shouldn’t be eligible to participate in the Hundred Strong Competition, as he’s already graduated from Heng University and no longer has the status of a college student.

But Zhou Yuanchen’s situation is special. He entered as a freshman, skipped to the third year in the second year, then to the fourth year in the following semester, quickly completed his studies, and then went on to work at the Central City Education Department.

His student status is still registered at Heng University, which is akin to bending the rules and squeezing into the Hundred Strong Competition.

Qin Shi’s gaze fell, and the photo showed a short-haired man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking quite extraordinary.

"Is there any more detailed information?"

Lin Yunqing understood what Qin Shi meant and continued:

"New Martial Sect, SS-level martial arts, ’Ten Directions Frost Demon Path.’ He has undergone two implantation surgeries; the specifics are unclear."

Qin Shi nodded slightly. Close to the hundred-point life force, SS-level martial arts, plus the resources from the Central City Education Department.

He is indeed a top contender for the Hundred Strong Competition!

"Anything else?"

He continued to ask.

"Most of the strong competitors in the Hundred Strong Competition come from Qiguang Heng University, like Ji Yuqi and Pei Han from the Martial Arts System.

There are also several from Central City, including people from the Education Department, Security Department, and the Heng Province Martial Arts Association.

The candidates from the Education Department include Zhou Yuanchen, as mentioned earlier. From the Security Department, there is Zheng Xu. They are also all from the New Martial Sect and each master different SS-level martial arts, with strong combat abilities.

The Heng Province Martial Arts Association has put forward the twin stars, brother and sister Xia Hong and Xia Ying, who have been making waves in recent years. They follow the Old Martial Body Enlightenment Sect and are battle maniacs, not to be underestimated."

Lin Yunqing was well-prepared and introduced them clearly.

"Truly, this competition is filled with strong contenders; the gold content of the Hundred Strong Competition is indeed high."

Qin Shi scanned through the photos, memorizing faces, and then flipped through the documents, noticing that these people all had life forces exceeding ninety points, effectively at Specialized Level Martial Artist reserve status.

And each has their own unique skills!

"Very well. I am undergoing my third transformation phase and feel I can reach a more perfect state. With their honing and Grandmaster Liang’s guidance in Divine Bone Cultivation, it might help me take another step forward!"

Qin Shi’s eyes flashed with excitement, appearing eager to flex his muscles.

He sincerely praised Lin Yunqing a few times, then wiped his mouth and called a taxi to the Inspection Department.

The woman was willing to lend him her Hanhai Conqueror to drive.

But Qin Shi refused, waiting for the investment from Fourth Senior Brother Nie Zongwen to come through.

He planned to grit his teeth and buy a car he liked for commuting.

With his Third-Class credentials, even if Qin Shi carried weapons, he could pass through several security checks of the Inspection Department comfortably and enter the offices of the Operations Department.

"Little Qin, long time no see, you’re even stronger now."

Tan Cong’s hearty laughter arrived faster than he did.

"Inspector Tan..."

"Just call me Tan Bro, no need to be so formal!"

Tan Cong, moving with the strength of a dragon and the power of a tiger, was quite generous. His eyes were fixed on the military knife in Qin Shi’s hand, almost glowing.

"I heard from others that you performed outstandingly in the Xijian operation and even received a blessing from a patron deity. Is that true?"

Qin Shi nodded subtly, neither confirming nor denying it.

"Is this the blessed object from the patron deity? Oh my, you are truly lucky! In ancient times, this would be a ’Destiny Divine Weapon.’ With this, you could call on many to follow you and hail you as King!"

Tan Cong’s eyes showed envy; who among the Old Martial Sect wouldn’t love a handy and effective weapon?

Compared to the New Martial Sect, who carry shoulder-mounted machine guns and wear exoskeleton power armor, they prefer kinetic weapons, wielding a big spear or sword, and fighting their way through the enemy like a relentless force.

"What era is it now, Tan Bro? One shot from the Star Destroyer Cannon, and even a Grandmaster has to behave."

Qin Shi smiled. His Perfect Level Electric Shock Saber was something he procured from four patron deities.

The quality shouldn’t be too bad!

"Can I have a look?"

Tan Cong rubbed his hands together, laughing awkwardly, like a man obsessed.

"Sure, Tan Bro, take a look."

Qin Shi agreed readily, still hoping Tan Cong would teach him some real skills without holding back.

"Good stuff! Truly good stuff! If this were in the Equipment Department, it would be ridiculously expensive. Even if I earned a lifetime’s worth of merit points, it would be hard to exchange for this!"

Tan Cong held the dark red handle, drawing the blade out of the black scabbard. The friction sound was like electric current, sizzling and crackling.

Buzz!

The blade left the scabbard, with a matte black edge that seemed to swallow light. The blade’s spine had a blood groove that looked like molten lava flowing slowly.

When Tan Cong held this military knife, he had a strong feeling that it was alive. Fine electric light cracks appeared softly on the surface, flashing, as if violent thunder was imprisoned within the seamless metal, making one want to swing and slay with it.

"If I were ten years younger, I’d probably go bankrupt and kneel, begging you to lend me this military knife. For those of us in the Old Martial Sect, such weapons are indeed needed. Especially in Heng Province, where there are many contaminated wilderness areas, these sophisticated pieces of technological equipment can’t be used, and we still have to rely on swords and knives."

Tan Cong fondled the knife handle lovingly, then inserted it back into the black scabbard and returned it to Qin Shi.

"Tan Bro, I heard from Old Chen that you are very skilled in sword techniques, a true master."

Qin Shi spoke sincerely, "Could you give me some guidance?"

Old Chen?

How dare you call him that!

Tan Cong’s mouth twitched as he thought, ’Could this kid be Chen Ruofu’s son-in-law?’

So close, always hanging around Chen Yun.

"Master is too much, I just know a bit."

Tan Cong led Qin Shi to the training room, where the core members of the Operations Department, dressed in black vests and bulging with muscles, saw the young face walking behind and felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.
