"Are they new neighbors?"

Chen Zhong peeked through the peephole at the open door opposite, where a middle-aged couple walked in with their young daughter carrying a suitcase.

After confirming that they really closed the door, Chen Zhong moved his eyes away expressionlessly, climbed onto the yoga mat to start morning exercise, and silently analyzed in his mind.

By observing their appearance and behavior, it was undoubtedly a family of three.

She was very polite to the movers, the sound when closing the door was quite light, and she paid attention to the details of the neighborhood. She was likely to be a qualified neighbor.

The mother was about forty years old. Although she was dressed simply, her gestures were full of upbringing and elegance. She covered her mouth when she laughed and spoke softly. At first glance, she was a gentle, virtuous, considerate and generous good woman.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she was acting!

The girl should be about the same age as herself, fluctuating around fifteen years old. She wore a white trimmed top and a plaid skirt. If I remember correctly, this outfit was the school uniform of the No. 2 Middle School not far away.

The girl is pure and lovely in accordance with her age, and has perfectly inherited her mother's kindness and tenderness. She is a gradually mature beauty. Judging from her clear eyes, this girl is not bad.

Similarly, it is not ruled out that she is acting!

Finally, there is the burly man in his forties, with some haphazard hair and wrinkled corners of clothes, but the angular cheeks and gold-rimmed glasses completely reverse the sloppy image.

He is a patient, smart, and very stable person!

There are obvious muscle contours under the clothes, and the palms are thick and covered with calluses. He doesn't look like an ordinary worker, but he must be engaged in manual work.

"Is he... a spiritual warrior?" Chen Zhong, who was halfway through the abdominal curling, suddenly stopped and frowned slightly. After all, the man's breath was settled and his eyebrows and eyes were shining.

The extraordinary existence of spiritual warriors is more likely to cause causal disputes than ordinary people. As neighbors living on the same floor, it is easy to be affected for no reason.

Therefore, a daily routine will be added in the next few days-observing neighbors and making risk assessments!

"Huh!"

After finishing the last stretching exercise, beads of sweat rolled down the tip of his nose and hit his hard eight-pack abs.

Since the first day of his soul crossing, he has been working hard to move his arms and legs.

After 16 years of fitness training, Chen Zhong, who just turned 16, is 1.8 meters tall.

With a streamlined body contour, a tender and deep face, he repeatedly jumps between the two temperaments of sunny casualness and cold and quiet, which makes him uniquely attractive to men, women, young and old.

"Ah!"

Looking at the perfect man (child) in the mirror, Chen Zhong sighed sincerely.

He is cautious and low-key. He doesn't like his current image at all, because he is too handsome, even wearing a mask can make passers-by look back frequently.

Most of them are kind eyes, but it is inevitable that some people have bad intentions!

Many scouts have approached him, but without exception, he has rejected them sternly.

Just kidding! The entertainment industry is a den of dragons and tigers. If you don't pay attention, you will die without a burial place!

"Meow!"

The big orange cat at his feet, a "pig" with an orange smell, rubbed against Chen Zhong's legs.

"Eat it." Chen Zhong poured a bowl of cat food and rubbed the big orange cat's fat head.

Bathing, eating, checking the surveillance and alarm dialer.

Tidying up the room, throwing the big orange cat back to its independent bedroom.

Finally, after looking around and confirming that there was no safety hazard in the gas and power supply, Chen Zhong put on his backpack and went out.

"Xiao Zhong is going to school so early?" Just after locking the super anti-theft door nine times, the old lady upstairs came down with a cane.

Chen Zhong put on a sunny smile very naturally, "Yes, I will graduate from junior high school soon, and I have to study hard for the high school entrance examination!"

"Xiao Zhong is so good, everyone in our building doesn't know, he will definitely be admitted to the Spiritual Martial Arts College!" The old lady praised.

"Come, I'll help you down!" Chen Zhong patiently and obediently took the old lady to the community garden, "Please go upstairs and be careful of the threshold."

Along the way, Chen Zhong was easy-going and greeted acquaintances warmly, such as the uncle at the street food stall, the cashier girl at the supermarket at the entrance of the community, and the familiar traffic police on duty at the intersection...

In short, he has a good relationship with people in the neighborhood.

Being cautious and steady does not mean being sneaky and hiding.

What's more, he is dazzling and can't control his brilliance. No matter how low-key he is, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of reducing his presence.

Instead of being cold, it is better to change the label in other people's minds!

In this way, it is difficult for others to imagine that you are actually cautious to the point of severe persecution delusion.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.

Can you believe that the holy and pure princess is a sick and masochistic person behind the scenes?

Can you guess that the devil who kills people secretly feeds an entire orphanage?

At least most ordinary people can't think of it.

Walking on the river bank, looking at the sparkling river surface, Chen Zhong's thoughts drifted further and further.

Sixteen years ago, he was crushed to death by a tractor-trailer just after graduating from college, and his soul was transferred to a baby. Chen Zhong, who was familiar with online articles, immediately understood what was going on.

When he was a few years old, his parents were murdered inexplicably, and he lived in his cousin's house since then, which is his current residence. As a result, his cousin disappeared quietly after a few years, leaving him alone.

Therefore, Chen Zhong's excessive caution... is necessary!

Most of this world is similar to the previous life, roughly the same modern society, with no shortage of mobile phones, computers, cars and airplanes.

But the country he was in was called the "Red Flame Empire", which had various sect forces and extraordinary spiritual martial artists.

A super hero is a hero, but a group of super heroes are restless bombs. They may destroy the world and change the situation.

This world is very dangerous!

He was very cautious in his previous life, and now he is 100% cautious.

Ten minutes later.

Linglong City No. 1 Middle School.

Maintaining a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, Chen Zhong was bathed in the adoring and curious eyes of his schoolmates.

"Senior Chen Zhong is about to take the high school entrance examination. He should still have one more training to complete, right?"

"I heard that he will undergo the ninth tempering today!"

"Really! Let's go see it together then!"

After walking away, the students and some teachers talked a lot.

"The last tempering?" Chen Zhong rubbed his stiff cheeks after walking around the unoccupied corner.

He seems to be familiar with everyone, but only he knows that he has no close friends at all. If the race is relaxed, the big orange cat at home can barely count as one.

betray! In this world of high-level martial arts with surging undercurrents and overflowing murderous intent, this is completely normal.

It is unreasonable to leave your back to others!

Back in the classroom, some students were still busy copying each other's homework, but Chen Zhong opened a thick history book. He needed to be deeply familiar with the past and present of this world.

It is not a simple general process, but the entire content over thousands of years, down to the details of what colors the concubines of the founding emperor of the Chiyan Empire liked to wear.

"It's time to open the door." After his morning self-study, Chen Zhong put away his textbooks and got up to go to the tempering room.

After going downstairs, we arrived at a large independent conference room. The sign at the door read "Quenching Room" and there were several students lining up at the door.

"It's Senior Chen Zhong!"

"This is the first time I saw him so close!"

"Quickly, do you want to take a photo with him? When he graduates and enters the Lingwu Master Academy, he will be a legend you need to look up to!"

"I heard that he had strange phenomena in the previous eight temperings. I don't know what kind of momentum he will have this last time." Several teachers also stood not far away and watched.

In the tempering room, Chen Zhong waited silently.

"Don't be discouraged. Even if you can't become a spiritual martial artist, you can still apply for an ordinary high school, go to a good university, and have the opportunity to major in spiritual weapons. Spiritual weapon masters will be great everywhere!" The teacher comforted several students who failed in tempering. .

Before officially becoming a spiritual martial artist and cultivating spiritual power, one needs to undergo nine body temperings in their youth, commonly known as the "Nine Bacon Temperings", in order to allow the body to adapt to the powerful spiritual power in advance.

The nine times of tempering correspond to the nine years of elementary school and junior high school. Failure once means no opportunity to practice.

Tempering requires a large amount of spiritual stone materials, but all the expenses incurred are included in the free rights of nine-year compulsory education!

This is one of the policies of the Chiyan Empire to benefit the people!

The conditions for successful tempering are largely due to innate luck, the genetics of the parents, and a little bit of acquired hard work, such as exercise.

Chen Zhong always chooses to come to temper at the last moment, just to amplify his efforts and ensure that the tempering reaches the best expectation, so as to stimulate deeper talents.

In order to go further, it pays to pay a little more now.

The teacher opened the roster and shouted in surprise, "Classmate Chen Zhong, it's your turn!"

"Trouble." Chen Zhong nodded and walked into a circular formation device inside - the Spirit Quenching Array.

There are dense runes carved under the feet, and the round edge is a metal device with three spiritual stones placed inside.

Combining machinery and spiritual power, this is a masterpiece of contemporary spiritual formation masters, making it easy for ordinary people to operate.

Spirit quenching arrays are generally only provided to regular elementary and junior high schools, or private individuals can hire spirit array masters to construct them. However, the price is extremely high and the procedures are quite complicated.

After all, this is a first-grade spiritual formation that has been forcibly upgraded to third-grade, because it needs to be registered and applied for by the empire!

"I'm going to start!" the teacher reminded.

"Yes." Chen Zhong took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. This time the tempering can only succeed and cannot fail.

As the spirit stone twisted, streams of spiritual power flowed, and the spirit quenching array emitted a hazy opalescent light mist, and the mist poured into Chen Zhong's pores.

Chen Zhong concentrated his mind and realized little by little that the weak spiritual power was squirming in his blood. His internal organs gradually became hot and hot, and the spiritual power accumulated in his body began to wake up.

Five minutes later, the door was already crowded with people eating melon.

Buzz——

Suddenly, the spiritual formation vibrated, sometimes shrieking and sometimes making a dull trembling sound.

Some teachers and students exclaimed.

"Look!"

"Oh my God!"

"Visions of heaven and earth!"

The rays of light appeared above Chen Zhong's head, condensed into a pillar, and then penetrated the floor and shot straight into the sky. It was colorful and bright like stars, instantly attracting the attention of the entire Linglong City.

"It turns out to be another strange phenomenon in the world. This Chen Zhong must be included in the key observation targets!"

In the office, the principal was beaming with joy. He had to write a formal document to report the dual-attribute genius who had nine visions.

Potential geniuses will be secretly taken care of by the empire's officials. Of course, it will only be limited to a little assistance, and will not deliberately guide and interfere with their growth.

The director of the third grade junior high school trembled and murmured, "After nine successful temperings, the spiritual attribute will be awakened. Generally, it is a single attribute, and the dual attribute is the most precious."

The director of the second-year junior high school on the side echoed, "If there are more than three, it will be too muddy and the spiritual power will be too complicated. There is a high probability that it will stop at the first level. This kid has a bright future!"

Around Chen Zhong, there were flashes of lightning and brown lines flowing.

Thunder and earth!

The entire No. 1 Middle School and even the city were boiling, but the instigator was still standing in the formation with his eyes closed in a daze.

A magnificent ancient palace loomed in his mind.

"God's skill library? Newbie training package? Is this the golden finger I have been waiting for for sixteen years?"

Chen Zhong showed a sincere and happy smile for the first time in a long time.
