After practicing madly for more than an hour until he was exhausted, he withdrew his saber and went back. He washed up and changed clothes while the enchanting woman's evil thought assisted him. Then, he enjoyed the delicious breakfast she had made.
To be honest, I've never dared think of having such a life.
I have a goal and I'm constantly becoming stronger.
I can enjoy having a mansion and female servants.
However, I feel that something is missing… Well, that's right. Little Leopard Cat.
Zhou Kai looked left and right. Speaking of her, he had not seen the little girl that day. Hadn't she woken up?
"Did you see Little Leopard Cat?" Zhou Kai asked as he looked at Tong Leqing.
Tong Leqing quickly replied, "Reporting, my owner. She went out last night and hasn't returned yet."
Zhou Kai was startled. "She left last night? Why did she leave?"
"She peed her bed and left in embarrassment," the enchanting woman's evil thought answered calmly.
Zhou Kai was speechless.
I have to ignore her. She'll definitely come back when she doesn't have anywhere to go.
Zhou Kai was currently not worried about Little Leopard Cat at all.
Who could bully a demon spirit who uses magic and has good acting skills like her?
Just as he thought about it, his cell phone rang all of a sudden.
When he took it out to have a look, he saw that Qin Feng was calling him.
Zhou Kai frowned. The people from the Analogous Department never find him unless they needed something from him!
He answered the call and said, "Good morning, Brother Qin."
"Brother Zhou, it's getting late. I'm at work."
"Ha ha… You're the chief, so it's normal that you're busy. Why did you call me?"
"I have a mission for you. Are you interested?"
After interacting with Zhou Kai a few times, a sly old fox like Qin Feng was naturally aware of Zhou Kai's personality. The best way to get familiar with him was by playing dumb and just presenting him with great stuff.
Zhou Kai replied calmly, "That will depend on the mission. Can you describe it to me?"
Qin Feng said, "This mission was released by the higher-ups, who are having a few branches of the Analogous Department working together. The people taking part in this are from our Analogous Department. However, you know that I was very poor in the past. Although things have been better recently, the department is still under construction so I can't dispatch any people. If you want to, you can substitute the Analogous Department of the Anyang branch and take part in this mission. As for the reward, how does a place in an academic audit sound?"
Zhou Kai was dumbfounded.
The Analogous Department has internal missions? This sounds kind of interesting.
He was in the process of understanding this mysterious world. Therefore, Zhou Kai didn't want to miss anything that could provide him with new knowledge and information.
Besides, the Analogous Department was dispatched to deal with the anomalies. I'm not scared of the anomalies. My safety could be 50-percent guaranteed.
Despite being moved, Zhou Kai still sounded very calm. "Brother, does this mission contain any danger?"
Qin Feng replied with a smile, "It's hard to say. Our department's missions range from one to five stars, with one being the lowest and five being the highest. This mission was given two stars because only the participant can know the content of the mission. I wouldn't dare to promise anything. I'm just asking. If you're unwilling, I won't force you."
Zhou Kai curled his lips. You won't force me? You just can't wait for me to agree, right?
"Brother, I want to know what the academic audit is about," Zhou Kai said.
Qin Feng said, "Little Leopard Cat has to go to school, you know that. She isn't going to attend an ordinary school, but a school that the Dao Alliance suddenly created with the Analogous Department recently. What will they be lectured on? Who are the teachers? It's still a secret at the moment, but they are in the middle of recruiting students and the number is quite big. From what I know, most of them are direct disciples of various sects of the Dao Alliance and elites from the various branches of the Analogous Department with real power. A few of them have obtained a place by making outstanding contributions. For example, Little Leopard Cat. Her mother fought with her life in exchange for this learning opportunity for her. She's still in seclusion in a base to recuperate from her injuries. I'm not sure about the Dao Alliance, but each formidable branch of the Analogous Department will get five to ten places. I am reserving three such places for a small place like Anyang. The student will have some of the rights of an official student, and they will only have a month to learn."
Zhou Kai's gaze flickered.
Since Qin Feng had spoken so clearly, how could he not know the importance of being the student of an academic audit?
He had to get his hands on this.
"I accept the mission. When do I start?" Zhou Kai responded firmly.
Qin Feng said with a smile, "I'll send you some address coordinates. Come over at noon tomorrow and someone will fetch you."
"It's a deal. See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the call, Zhou Kai started eating the bun as he pondered this.
The easiest way to get to know this mysterious world was by interacting with the Analogous Department. After all, they were the officials there so they definitely stood on the front line. They could get all kinds of news and information about the mysterious world, or they wouldn't have been flourishing to this day.
However, Zhou Kai had a certain thought. He could make a deal and work with them, but he couldn't get deeply involved.
This mission was mainly about obtaining the qualifications for the academic audit. What he lacked the most now was an all-rounded understanding of the mysterious world. Even a month of learning was an opportunity that one would come by with luck.
After eating breakfast, Zhou Kai strolled in the villa's courtyard leisurely and carefreely to digest his food. At the same time, he kept pondering the decades of information on the inheritance of saber techniques.
Decades of inheritance was definitely not something he could digest and use in a short time.
Zhou Kai had previously only sorted out the method of the saber technique cultivation. There were still many techniques involving the saber, killing an enemy, and guarding oneself. In addition, there was the horse battle, street battle, water battle, forest battle, night battle, and wild battle. It seemed that the saber could turn into safe protection in any kind of environment and kill any number of possible enemies.
Even though Zhou Kai treated these pieces of information as stories, he enjoyed them and was amazed.
From various perspectives, the Eight Forms of Violent Battle was a kind of saber Dao inheritance that had been deduced by many people and generations that had paid a huge price, experienced countless battles, and killed many people.
Furthermore, as Zhou Kai digested these techniques and knowledge, a strange thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
Perhaps, the general's evil thought had trained for the sake of the inheritance so that the Eight Strokes of Violent Battle would adapt to a generation of firearms and would not let that inheritance, which had been gathered by the heart and blood of countless seniors, perish and disappear during this generation.
Zhou Kai felt a surge of emotions.
The Eight Forms of Violent Battle used to be the ruler of the battlefield. A person with a saber was invincible.
Nowadays, steel cannons were rampant in the world. Swords were on the decline and were considered the most useless.
He bore the inheritance of the Eight Forms of Violent Battle, so he naturally had the responsibility and obligation to bring it to greater heights. Although the golden-armored general had died, his evil thought hadn't dissipated and was still willing to help him practice his saber technique to improve.
How touching! I, Zhou Kai, have an unshirkable duty. I have to work hard and cultivate… Someday, I'll find a good seedling and teach him the Eight Forms of Violent Battle so that he can contend against the cannon.
