"Han Zheng had long found that guy's arrogance annoying."
"And Yang Tianqi wasn't bad either."
He was an old-tir of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but he didn't put on airs with a newcor like him; instead, he was very enthusiastic and explained everything in detail.
As for offending soone upon arrival at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Han Zheng didn't care at all.
Back in Black Stone County, Han Zheng had been deep in mysteries, not even aware of the mories he had lost before his transmigration, so naturally, he had to tread on thin ice.
At that ti, he had to conceal his abilities, striving to hide himself, only showing a fraction of his true strength if he had much more.
But this was the Demon Cleansing Bureau, where everything was about strength and the Demons Cleansing Bureau that spoke with ability.
If he continued to hide his skills, he would only be hiding his stupidity.
At this mont, Guo Zhen, hearing Han Zheng's words, was montarily stunned as if he hadn't expected Han Zheng, a newcor, to dare to talk to him like that.
"Kid, are you looking for death? A newcor who doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"
Guo Zhen's expression instantly beca extrely gloomy.
Han Zheng scoffed, "So, are you taller than the sky or thicker than the earth?
Just because you let a demon slip away, you've been whining for so long.
You're more petty than those old ladies.
Are you not trying to force Brother Yang to make a move? I'll spar with you on his behalf. Do you dare to accept?"
Yang Tianqi's expression suddenly changed, and he promptly tugged at Han Zheng's arm.
This matter had started because of him, and he didn't want to drag Han Zheng into it.
"Brother Yang, don't worry, so people will just walk all over you if you keep giving in to them."
Over there, Guo Zhen's face suddenly lit up with glee, "This was your idea to compete! The martial arts platform is right over there, go up if you dare!"
Yang Tianqi is a turtle, no matter how I insult and provoke him, he would just keep his head down.
This newcor doesn't know any better, lacking self-control, and yet dares to stand up for himself, which is exactly what I want!
It's common for the old-tirs to look down on newcors everywhere.
Leaving aside strength, so people naturally feel they are superior just because they have seniority.
Guo Zhen certainly didn't take Han Zheng, a newcor, seriously.
Yang Tianqi was a shrinking turtle, taking whatever insults he threw at him without peeping a head.
This newcor seed reckless enough, just right for a lesson to let off so steam.
All around, quite a few people egged on, "Guo Zhen, rember to pull your punches later, don't hurt the rookie too badly, the higher-ups will make trouble for you."
"That's right, we at the Demon Cleansing Bureau are not so dragon's lair or tiger's den, let the newcors know their place, but don't take it too seriously."
Han Zheng, a newcor who didn't know anyone, was going to challenge Guo Zhen, an old-tir of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
Except for those who bore grievances against Guo Zhen, everyone else would subconsciously side with Guo Zhen.
At that mont in the crowd, a pretty young girl who didn't look even twenty years old frowned, "Guo Zhen is being too much; constantly bullying Yang Tianqi over such a small matter, and now he's bullying a newcor too. Brother, you're not going to step in?"
Standing beside her was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, handso and manly, with a tall and straight figure.
The young man crossed his arms, shook his head after hearing her, and said, "Step in? How? I can help Yang Tianqi once but not a second ti; we can't always be there.
Unless Yang Tianqi himself can show his ttle, no one can help him for his entire life.
As for bullying a newcor, little sister, don't forget, when we first arrived at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, even though they knew we were from the Ye Family, we were still targeted.
The Demon Cleansing Bureau doesn't care about newcors or old-tirs. After a few missions and showing your strength, who will dare target you?"
The young girl pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with her elder brother's pragmatic words.
Amidst the crowd's jeering, Han Zheng and Guo Zhen stepped onto the martial arts platform.
The Demon Cleansing Bureau's platform was no ordinary stage; it was protected by arrays, preventing the power from leaking out.
Otherwise, when Xuan Gang Realm martial artists took action, Gang Qi would scatter everywhere, and the onlookers could easily end up dead in droves.
Han Zheng stepped onto the platform, and imdiately, a hazy brilliance rose around him.
"Kid, don't say I'm bullying a newcor; I'm giving you the chance to strike first,"
Guo Zhen stepped onto the platform, stood with his hands behind his back, and pridefully said.
But he was not truly a fool, although he spoke lightly, Guo Zhen's inner strength and Qi blood power had already gathered, ready to burst forth at any mont.
Guo Zhen's entire state was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, ready to unleash the most powerful blow at any ti.
There might be fools in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, but certainly not many.
Even those with arrogant characters, after a few missions, would not be arrogant when it truly ca to action.
Even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit; this lesson had been learned from countless missions.
The truly arrogant and conceited ones were now feeding the grass above their graves.
"That's pretty kind of you."
Han Zheng grinned, flashing a row of neat white teeth.
The next mont, his body's strength suddenly burst forth, with his Qi blood surging, and his muscles swelled trendously.
Veins bulging and muscles rising, the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Power enveloped him, and the Inner Strength True Qi condensed by the Black Blood Demon Evil Skill swirled around Han Zheng.
In an instant, the once handso and graceful Han Zheng now looked like a demon incarnate.
Guo Zhen's expression changed instantly.
What the hell is this!?
This overwhelming Qi blood power wasn't sothing that even an Innate Realm martial artist could match, let alone a Xuan Gang Realm one!
If he didn't know that the Demon Cleansing Bureau had stringent restrictions in place to screen out demons, he would have suspected that Han Zheng was a demon in disguise!
In the next mont, Han Zheng clenched the Great Vajra Ming King Seal in his hand, his footsteps thundering as he stepped forward, charging at Guo Zhen with a terrifying montum that seed to weigh as heavy as Mount Tai.
Guo Zhen's Inner Strength surged wildly, his palms striking out in succession, with Inner Strength True Qi churning like a vast ocean, each wave stronger than the last.
Angry Sea Stacking Blade Palm!
With each layer added, the power of this hand skill doubled.
Previously, with Guo Zhen's ability, he could at most muster four layers of strength, but this ti he forcefully stacked five.
The majestic palm force clashed with Han Zheng's seal technique, and the collision imdiately set off a deafening explosion of True Qi.
Accompanied by the violent dispersion of True Qi, Guo Zhen was blasted away, even being hurled off the platform and tumbling to the ground.
He struggled to stand up, but everyone could clearly see that both of Guo Zhen's arms were slightly twisted, and his fists were sared with dripping blood.
The martial artists who had been jeering just monts before were now silent.
Everyone looked at Han Zheng with eyes wide with shock.
Is this a newcor to the Demon Cleansing Bureau? Where did such a fierce newcor co from?
Guo Zhen might not count as a top expert in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Departnt, but he was also a veteran with deep seniority, just short of the rit needed to don the Golden Pattern Armor.
Yet, against this newcor, he couldn't even make it through a single exchange!
"Big bro, looks like Yang Tianqi doesn't need your help anymore, soone's taken his side."
The young girl covered her mouth, her eyes wide as saucers.
Her brother also wore a look of astonishnt, pondering for a mont before saying, "This newcor is definitely not from the Reserve Camp.
There are a few decent seeds in the Reserve Camp, but none could possibly be this strong.
He must be soone a powerful person brought from the outside world, this is getting interesting.
First, Su Wuming, and now another newcor with such formidable strength has arrived, how co our own trained agents from the Demon Cleansing Bureau can't compare to these outsiders?"
At this point, Han Zheng stood on the platform, having retracted his overwhelming presence, and indifferently said to Guo Zhen below, "I appreciate your letting win; shall we continue?"
Guo Zhen's face was as dark as ink.
That's when a martial artist from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, who had followed Guo Zhen, jumped out and said coldly, "You, newcor, are utterly disrespectful!
We are all colleagues in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, bound to encounter each other often, and we'll have to work on missions together in the future.
Brother Guo was in a friendly sparring mood and let you strike first, and it was careless of him not to dodge, but you went for a killing blow, that is utterly preposterous!"
Before Han Zheng could speak, the young girl's brother suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Guo Zhen, don't be a sore loser and disgrace our entire Demon Cleansing Bureau before a newcor!
Since when do we practice moderation in sparring within our ranks? Even a blind man could see that you were holding back just now!
The Demon Cleansing Bureau has always been about strength and ability; since when did we start caring about re words?"
Guo Zhen glared viciously at the man, but seeming to know that he was not one to ss with, he didn't dare retort and rely growled, "Let's go!"
With that, he turned and left with his people.
