Lieutenant Lei’s personality was a little stubborn and rigid. He was indeed not easy to talk to. Moreover, the members of the Demon Suppression Division had to be above 15 years old when they were doing missions. Although Shen Ping and Lian Nishang were both third-grade bloodline awakeners and were outstanding in the academy, this was the rule of the Xia Dynasty.

This rule had long existed in nonly. Especially as the demons and evil spirits becmore and more rampant, the members of the Demon Suppression Division everywhere were short of manpower. Many prefectures and counties even let Rank 2 students start doing missions.

“Demons are not easy to deal with. You don’t have any experience at all. Even if you’re a Rank 3, the true strength you can unleash against demons is only Rank 2. If you’re scared silly, you’ll be worse than an initial-stage Awakened.” Lieutenant Lei looked at Shen Ping. “It’s not easy for the county’s Demon Suppression Division to nurture you. I can’t watch you die.”

Regardless of whether Lieutenant Lei’s words were true or not, he did things according to the rules. Shen Ping couldn’t say anything and could only say, “Lord Lei, Nishang and I just want to accumulate sexperience. We can go on missions with the experienced members of the division and be their assistants.”

Lieutenant Lei remained silent. Recently, there have indeed been a lot of demons everywhere in the county. The Demon Suppression Division had lost three to four old members. Even he, a lieutenant, was frequently out on missions. Many of his subordinates had occasionally suggested letting the little fellows in the school move together as it could more or less relieve the pressure.

However, he never agreed. Now that Shen Ping had taken the initiative to mention it, if he refused again, the news would spread and his subordinates would definitely be dissatisfied. He already had complaints. If they were dissatisfied, his prestige as a lieutenant would obviously be damaged.

“Lord Lei, Nishang and I can make a military pledge. If anything happens during the mission, it will definitely not be the problem of the Demon Suppression Division.”

Lieutenant Lei pulled a long face. “I’m not afraid of taking responsibility, but I’m thinking for your sake. Forget it, since you insist on doing the mission, I’ll agree. However, you have to listen to the instructions of the senior members of the division. You can’t act rashly. If I find out, no matter how things go, you can’t participate in any missions in the future.”

Shen Ping immediately replied, “Yes, we will follow your words.” He returned to his residence. Lian Nishang had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Shen Ping, her clear and beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation. “Lord Lei is very difficult to convince! But it’s not a problem for me.”

Lian Nishang’s delicate and gentle face immediately fell, but the next sentence made her smile. She leaned in front of Shen Ping and said happily, “Hehe, Nishang knew that Brother Shen would definitely succeed. Now, I can finally go out and kill demons!”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Then what you said before…”

Lian Nishang’s face turned red. Then, she shyly took out a pink pouch from her waist and stuffed it into Shen Ping’s hand. She turned around and ran away shyly. Shen Ping was stunned for a moment. He pinched the wrinkled pink pouch and laughed. “I wanted to make things difficult for this girl, but I didn’t expect it to be ready long ago.”

The pouch was filled with a fragrance that seemed to carry the scent of youth.

The next day, Lieutenant Lei instructed him and Lian Nishang to make preparations. Three days later, they would go to Ji Town to complete a mission. On that day, a member of the Demon Suppression Division surnamed Yan, who was in charge of this mission, cto Shen Ping’s courtyard.

“Not bad. Your bloodline aura is thick. Looks like you’re one of the best among the Rank 3s.” Initially, Yan Jin was very worried. However, when he sensed Shen Ping’s aura, a smile appeared on his face. “There are a total of three members in this mission. Other than me, the other two are all at the second rank. Coupled with you and another newbie, I don’t think there will be a problem.”

Shen Ping hurriedly asked, “Brother Yan, may I know what this mission is?”

“A few wolf demons are causing trouble. The leader of the wolf demons has yet to break through to Rank 3. Prepare well in the next three days.”

“Yes.”

Demons were stronger than humans. At the sRank 2, humans were no match for demons. The wolf demon leader was at the late-stage of Rank 2. The Demon Suppression Division had to have a Rank 3 member to oversee it.

Next, Shen Ping began to make preparations. He had long broken through to Rank 4, but he had never seen the demons of this world, so it was necessary to make a few more preparations. Moreover, he still had Lian Nishang. He had to make sprotective items for her.

Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to see if the things he had studied over the years were effective.

“With the Blood Sinking Wood as the foundation and my own blood as the catalyst, I’ll draw out a spirit rune. Let’s call it a blood talisman!”

He was best at talismans. Although there were no talismans in this world, there were corresponding materials to store the abilities of bloodline users, such as Blood Sinking Wood, Red FlSilver. Blood Sinking Wood was relatively common and could be bought in the county, but Red FlSilver was very rare.

He made 12 blood talismans in one go. Five of them were Thunder Shields, four were Thunder Nets, and the remaining three were Thunder Flames. All of them were thunder bloodline abilities that he was proficient in. Other students would have to spend a lot of tpracticing and mastering this method, but after he understood the principles behind the circulation of the meridians, he could immediately cast it.

Soon, it was tto set off.

Lian Nishang had changed into the uniform of the Demon Suppression Division. It was black with the Qilin pattern of the Demon Suppression Division on it. There were golden patterns on the edge of her belt and cuffs. Her beautiful hair was also combed into a single ponytail. She looked delicate and young, but there was a hint of valiance.

“You two share a horse. Don’t fall behind.” Yan Jin, the leader, said.

Shen Ping nodded. Lian Nishang was not shy. Instead, she was excited. After she got on the horse, she sat in front of Shen Ping. Even though Shen Ping was hugging her with one hand, she did not say anything..
