Once, I wanted to be a good person

The students, all standing with chests puffed up and heads held high, looked at him with stern faces.

After a moment, they shouted in unison, "Good morning, sir!"

Fang Ze: .....

What the hell is going on here!

Have I become a director?!

While Fang Ze was in such a state of shock, a woman's light gasp sounded beside his ear, "What's going on? Why are there so many people?"

Fang Ze turned his head and saw the female instructor Qing Ya, dressed in tight practice clothes, standing behind him and also looking surprised at the scene before her.

Clearly, she had never seen so many students so excited before.

Seeing Qing Ya's puzzled expression,

Fang Ze was startled, but he roughly guessed what was happening...

......

Because there were too many students coming to attend, audit, or rather to watch Fang Ze's class.

As a result, the class had to be moved from a small practice room to a large practice field.

In the practice field, Qing Ya looked at the dozens of students sitting on the floor, her beautiful eyes stealthily glancing at Fang Ze.

During the classroom switch, she had learned the essentials of the situation from a few familiar students.

It turned out that the news of the yet-to-be-inducted Commissioner Fang Ze, who was authorized with a Special Operations Order and had taken away Kai Shi and the Deputy Director of the Emerald City Investigation Bureau, had spread throughout the entire Security Bureau over the course of one morning and afternoon.

Following that, everyone also learned that the higher-ups had directed Bai Zhi and Fang Ze to establish a Special Case Team specifically responsible for this major case. Other departments in Emerald City, including the internal Security Bureau, were not allowed to intervene at all.

Moreover, because of proper confidentiality measures, not a single piece of effective information about the case had been leaked so far.

All anyone knew was that the case involved personnel of very high level and was exceptionally significant and complex.

This also meant.... enormous power and tremendous merit!

Just as the director had said that morning: In the Security Bureau, if you want to be promoted apart from improving your level through sheer capability, you rely on merit.

And merit is even more important than ability.

Because, no matter how strong your ability, without enough merit, you are just a military position, with rank but no duty, unable to enter the management.

However, if merit is achieved, even if the ability is not up to par, the Security Bureau would assign a specialist for guidance, training, allocating resources, and enhancing strength.

Therefore, these nearly-trained reserve Commissioners, upon hearing of Fang Ze's significant merits, could hardly contain their ambitions and came forward to express their loyalty to him.

After all, everyone knew that among the two deputy directors in the Security Bureau, Bai Zhi was actually at a disadvantage.

In the past few years, due to Gu Qing's dominance, most of the commissioners were inclined towards Gu Qing.

But now, with Fang Ze as Bai Zhi's strong right-hand man consistently establishing merit, she was gaining momentum. However, she didn't have many dependable people around her.

So..... this batch of spotless, neutral new commissioners would now have a chance, wouldn't they!

That's why they had come to Fang Ze to showcase themselves.

Hoping to catch Fang Ze's attention, be noticed by him, and be recruited into that Special Case Team, to soar to great heights!

And Fang Ze...

He hadn't thought that far ahead.

He always kept his public and private affairs separate. Now, all he wanted was to quietly enhance his own strength.

In this world where strength was king, if he wished to reach the pinnacle of this world and have a look, then strength was certainly indispensable!

As for the students who were eager to join him, he had taken notice of them.

Now, indeed, it was a time when help was needed; he and Bai Zhi truly lacked reliable personnel, so it was right to give opportunities to suitable candidates when they came along.

For example, the girl who had clung to him before she had shown any talent or potential and her companion, were very good choices....

Setting aside these miscellaneous thoughts for now, Fang Ze planned to discuss the situation of this batch of students with Qing Ya after class before making a decision.

For now, he was focused on enhancing his own strength!

......

Qing Ya indeed was very suited to be a teacher.

Even though today's class had two to three times more students than usual, she still taught everyone very gently and patiently.

Moreover, while explaining, she tried her best to accommodate each student with her expressive eyes, encouraging them to listen attentively.

Today's lesson was about the "Awakening Ability Advancement Method" in Martial Arts Class.

At the start of the class, Qing Ya, as usual, explained patiently how the Awakening Ability (World's Laws) affected the human body: it promoted physical evolution and accelerated Martial Dao training while using it could harm the body.

After that, she explained detailed cases, covering the changes in the body every time the Awakening Ability was used.

Ultimately, she led to the primary principle that to advance one's Awakening Ability, one must enhance physical fitness to accept more of the World's Laws.

As for enhancing physical fitness, according to her, there were many ways.

There were strategies such as absorbing the Bloodline of Disaster Creatures, eating Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Marvels with body-transforming effects, and... the most common and suitable for ordinary Awakeners: practicing Martial Arts.

After roughly explaining the theory, Qing Ya began to teach the Body Tempering methods in Martial Arts.

The Body Tempering technique taught by Qing Ya was a basic Body Tempering method carefully selected by the Xida State Security Bureau: the Xida Body Refining Method.

But basic did not mean it was inferior; rather, because it was straightforward and grand, many Awakener families used this Body Tempering method.

This Body Tempering method was divided into seven realms: Muscle Tempering, Tendon Tempering, Skin Tempering, Bone Tempering, Organ Tempering, and Marrow Tempering.

Generally, practicing the first two realms was enough for most Awakeners to break through to high-tier Awakeners. Practicing six realms allowed one to undergo Spirit Ascension.

That was enough for the majority of Awakeners to practice throughout their lifetime.

In the Muscle Tempering realm, this Body Tempering method consisted of 72 movements, each set of 9 movements forming one group, making a total of eight groups. It could temper all 639 muscles in the body to the utmost, allowing comprehensive physical development!

The knowledge Qing Ya taught was all very beneficial to Fang Ze, who had a weak foundation.

He had not known before that a Martial Dao Realm had so many ways to progress, nor that Body Tempering involved so much knowledge.

Thus, after listening intently, he also activated his Void Eye and began learning Body Tempering following the female instructor, Qing Ya!

After completing one set of the eight groups of movements, Fang Ze felt completely refreshed.

He had previously ascended in the realm by sheer talent and Awakening Ability, indeed missing many aspects and failing to exercise many muscles.

But using this set of Body Tempering methods, he had now exercised almost every aspect of his muscles. This had made his foundation much more solid!

So, after practicing it twice and confirming that this Body Tempering method was indeed effective, Fang Ze calculated his current savings: 1.3 million Lini. An additional 1.6 million in resources had yet to be credited.

Then....he did not hesitate to use "high-interest loans," ready to directly advance his Xida Body Refining Method's realm!
