According to the usual rules, the Tribunal's assessment of newcomers mainly involves evaluating four aspects:

Strength, speed, mental power, and control.

This fifteen-day special training revolves around improving these four points. Nan Jin is responsible for "strength," Zhong Wei is responsible for "speed," and Senior Sister Luo is responsible for "mental power" and "control," which also corresponds to their respective extraordinary characteristics.

...

...

"I'm back..."

Late at night, eleven thirty.

Gu Shen, having finished a day of training, returned to his apartment. He weakly pushed open the door, leaned against the wall, and barely managed to steady himself.

Today's special training was simply too brutal.

After the Jingzhe Dreamscape, Gu Shen was dragged by Nan Jin to the boxing ring. Officially, it was strength training, but in reality, it was beatdown training. Nan Jin was a top expert in close combat, proficient in vital points and various tortures. Gu Shen was like a sandbag, getting beaten black and blue, barely able to stand.

Calculating the time, that bad woman had trained him for a full six hours... and the intermittent breaks totaled less than twenty minutes.

Those six hours felt like a century.

So much so that Gu Shen's legs were constantly trembling on the way back.

"Meow!"

Hearing Gu Shen's voice, the orange cat meowed cheerfully and ran out of the room, its butt wiggling.

"Here... food."

Gu Shen no longer had the energy to pay attention to the silly cat. He opened a large bag of cat food, threw it in the corner, and hurried to wash up.

Then he collapsed on the bed, utterly exhausted.

His whole body felt like it was falling apart... It was hard to imagine that this was just the so-called "appetizer" or "warm-up exercise" in Nan Jin's words.

How terrifying would tomorrow's training be?

Actually, Gu Shen was not afraid or timid. On the contrary... every time he was knocked down in the boxing ring, he would immediately get up.

He got up not to show off, but because he didn't want to fall down just like that.

He breathed out a long breath.

Gu Shen stopped thinking about it and stretched out his hands, looking at the calluses on his palms with satisfaction.

Today's training was still very fruitful.

He had already begun to get used to using "Jingzhe" to replace normal breathing, and each breath took away three parts of his mental fatigue.

Often, only in extremely quiet, confined spaces did Gu Shen feel truly real...

For example, now.

In the closed room, there was not a single sound.

Not even the sound of wind.

Gu Shen slowly closed his eyes and fell into a slumber, the experiences of the past few days flashing through his mind.

Real and dreamlike.

He didn't know when he had pushed open the door to the extraordinary world.

His heart was uneasy, as if something was missing. Gu Shen reached out a hand and fumbled under the pillow, feeling much more at ease after touching the Ruler of Truth.

Well... that's reassuring.

In the future, it's better to bring the Ruler of Truth with him when going out, in case something unexpected happens... After all, he was lucky enough to meet A-009 on a train ride, so nothing would be surprising.

"You got your wish and became the bottom of the barrel... How does it feel?"

The orange cat pushed open the door and tiptoed onto the bed, its eyes gleaming.

Chu Ling was online.

Gu Shen smiled wryly, "To be honest... I regret it a little. Senior Sister Luo said that anyone who comprehends time within two hours would be directly rated 'S' grade. If I had known, I would have broken the record, and maybe the Tribunal's review results would have come down."

"No..."

"Looking at it now, your choice at the time was actually the right one."

Chu Ling said slowly, "Someone within the Tribunal is already watching you. Being too outstanding is not a good thing."

Gu Shen immediately became alert.

"Someone... inside is watching me?"

"Yes. His name is Han Dang."

The orange cat licked its paws. It came to Gu Shen's side, raised its paw, and the bedroom projector automatically turned on, displaying page after page of files in the blue light.

Chu Ling, from somewhere far away, was controlling the system here, projecting Han Dang's information.

Gu Shen frowned as he looked at it.

He had already vaguely guessed that there were struggles and divisions within the Tribunal.

At the end of the last trial, Qinghe Judge Yan Shicheng mentioned a name –

Zhu Wang!

At that time, he felt that there would be some twists and turns in the subsequent events.

"Han Dang is Zhu Wang's prized disciple, with a status and strength comparable to Senior Sister Luo. He is also a mental-type extraordinary."

In the depths of the sea's archives, all of Han Dang's information was retrieved by Chu Ling, from his birth date to his honorary medals... After reading through it all, Gu Shen啧啧 sighed.

This man named Han Dang had achieved remarkable results and was indeed a dazzling new generation in the Tribunal.

No wonder he was a figure on par with Senior Sister Luo.

And when he saw Han Dang's latest action message, Gu Shen instantly became clear.

All sleepiness vanished.

"He came to Da Teng City and went to the old building of the fire case as soon as possible..."

Gu Shen sat up, the fatigue on his body swept away. He quickly flipped through the electronic file, and in the distant cloud, a packaged video was still uploading.

He knew very well that mental-type extraordinaries could often develop the ability of "profiling," and the top-notch ones, like Senior Sister Luo, could even profile the environment of the fire case one day after it happened.

Senior Sister Luo reproduced his extraordinary means and almost saw through the Ruler of Truth.

This man named Han Dang was the number one disciple of Mr. Shu's nemesis. His coming to Da Teng this time... what he wanted to do was self-evident.

He was coming for him!

He was here to investigate the fire case and his extraordinary abilities!

"This is the action video I captured."

The video from the cloud finished downloading and immediately popped up.

In the video, smoke and dust were flying, and the vision was blurred. Gu Shen saw the scene of the helicopter arriving at the scene of the fire case... The next scene was really shocking. After Han Dang fell from the sky, all the security personnel prepared to fight back at the first time, but they didn't know what happened, they all stood blankly, giving up their weapons like puppets.

"Were these people 'hypnotized'?"

Gu Shen had lingering fears, recalling the encounter in the afternoon.

Faced with Senior Sister Luo's entry into his dream, he had no resistance... The security personnel of the fire case were all suppressed by Han Dang's extraordinary power without exception.

"He went to the old building to investigate... Due to the lack of monitoring, we don't know what happened inside the old building." Chu Ling was still calm and composed, "Fifteen minutes later, Han Dang erased these people's memories."

"This is a bit too scary..."

After watching the video, Gu Shen asked with fear, "Han Dang's extraordinary power can play with people's hearts so easily, who is his opponent?"

"Han Dang is indeed very powerful."

Chu Ling paused, "But perhaps... he is not as powerful as you think. There is no doubt that only extraordinary can defeat extraordinary... but, no one is perfect. Everyone has weaknesses, and in a life-and-death duel, this weakness is a fatal flaw."

Gu Shen saw that there was a very conspicuous red document in this pile of retrieved files.

Is this a confidential file about Han Dang?

Gu Shen was a little curious. He manipulated the cursor, hovered over it, and clicked with a crisp sound –

The file was not opened, but a strong prompt sound popped up.

Then there were strings of garbled characters.

Finally, the screen was filled with a large red cross and four conspicuous bold fonts.

"Insufficient permission."

Gu Shen was shocked.

All along, he thought that Chu Ling was omnipotent... linking to the depths of the sea's permissions, providing omnipotent monitoring, analyzing real-time data, and planning strategic deployments... This was simply another deep sea with the highest authority.

And this time, he hit a wall.

"You seem surprised?"

The orange cat licked its paws calmly, "I don't think I said I could do everything."

"Yes..."

Gu Shen subconsciously said, "But... this is just Han Dang's file..."

"You're thinking, this is just Han Dang's file, above Han Dang there is Zhu Wang, and above Zhu Wang there are members of the East Continent Council, and the highest seat..." The orange cat turned its head, "I'm not omnipotent, there are still many things I can't do now, maybe I can complete them in the future."

She suddenly asked, "If you can now click on the files of the five continent speakers, do you want to take a look?"

"I want to see... but I don't dare, a few heads are not enough to drop, right?" Gu Shen understood the irony, he immediately cowered, and muttered, "Am I already on a pirate ship?"

It was a bit ironic.

It was clearly himself who advised Chu Ling not to do such illegal things at the beginning.

Now it is also himself who is skilled and said that it is really fragrant.

"I've been on a pirate ship for a long time, do you want to go back?" The orange cat bent its paws and seriously suggested: "If you regret it now, you should be sentenced to life imprisonment. If you are discovered in the future, it should be the death penalty."

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about?" Gu Shen solemnly raised the orange cat, "We are good young people with roots and seedlings, and we never do bad things that violate the law... As long as we are not discovered, who knows?"

The orange cat was a little unaccustomed to being lifted up.

Struggled to protest.

To no avail.

Then give up.

"In short... you have to know that someone is watching us, and we must always be vigilant." Chu Ling sighed, "That guy named Han Dang is not easy to deal with. He came all the way to Da Teng, probably to mess up your review, and then take the opportunity to take advantage of the 'amnesty order' to further overthrow Zhou Jiren."

Gu Shen fell into thought.

"The worst case is that he profiled the existence of the 'Ruler' and is suspicious of your extraordinary abilities. If there is contact in the future, he will definitely test you. You have to think about countermeasures."

The orange cat shook its tail, and the brilliance in its eyes slowly dissipated.

"Okay, I'm tired, go back to court if you have nothing to do."

A cat meow woke Gu Shen from his deep thought.

The orange cat, who was eating halfway and found itself being held in the air, was first shocked, then very angry, roared, hugged Gu Shen's face, and released a pile of yellow smoke, then walked away angrily.
