Gu Changjin drove Qingyang to Spark City's Rad-War Building. Every city had a Rad-Warrior Guild, as well as a Rad-War Building, where you could practice rad-power, accept duties, and buy and sell various materials.

Shi Qingyang was not unfamiliar with such a place, but he obediently followed Gu Changjin to the primary training area on the first basement level.

Near the primary training room, Shi Qingyang saw several teens his age waiting at the door with their elders. These were the individuals who had just injected radiation energy inducers into the body in order to stimulate rad-power. They chatted constantly. They couldn't even feel the rad-power but they wanted to see the city, so they picked a cheap public practice space and waited in line.

Shi Qingyang recognized a potential classmate among these people. That boy, in his opinion, would only kiss Yin Jinru's a$$. He was Yin Jinru's dogleg, but he did little. At this time, He was following in anticipation a middle-aged woman. His smile was little shy.

Some things hadn't happened yet, so he didn't need to be concerned.

Shi Qingyang relaxed and accompanied Gu Changjin into a separate training room.

Yin Tiancheng was aware of it right away.

"Had Cheng Ran's identity not yet been uncovered?" Yin Tiancheng inquired, his gaze fixed on the paper on his lap.

"Master, the Cheng Ran came out of nowhere, with only the news that it was sent by a convoy at the beginning, and the dean of the Spark Academy personally received them."

"Is it linked to the Chengs? Isn’t Cheng Ran's surname Cheng?"

"Master Cheng Hui, who had taken over as head of the Cheng household, had a son and two daughters, but his son was only ten years old. Cheng Hong was the father of one son and one daughter. His son was just fifteen years old, and they both lived with him in Anhang City."

"Is it a pseudonym?" Yin Tiancheng frowned, hesitated, and then replied. “Continue to investigate, and Shi Qingyang, keep attention on him too. What did uncle say?”

"Master Uncle doesn't believe anything will go wrong, Shi Qingyang is only sixteen years old…"

"That moron! You tell him that if he doesn't solve the matter soon, the Yin family will never protect him if something goes wrong!" Yin Tiancheng's hostility flashed across his face: "Prepare a car for me and accompany me to the Rad-War Building"

"Yes, master."

The Rad-War Building had five stories on the ground, but there were ten floors underground, and when it goes down, it covers a wider area, dividing more training rooms.

The majority of these training rooms were primary, with some intermediate, but no advanced. There were no advanced Rad-Warriors in Spark City. The radiation energy concentration in the primary training room was comparable to that of the city's entry. As a result, Shi Qingyang decided to practice at the city's entrance.

However, the radiation energy at the city's entrance was very unstable and erratic, which was not safe for people. On the other hand, the radiation energy was really calm here. Even if Rad-tolerance and Rad-control were just E level and being a Rad-Warrior was out of the question, they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable here.

Many who were just starting out with radiation energy should go to a venue like this.

"Sit in the chair over there, shut your eyes, and sense the radiation energy surrounding you." Gu Changjin gave the command.

He had already inquired about the way of feeling on the road, and Shi Qingyang's response was perfect.

Shi Qingyang could sense a lot of radiation energy surrounding him even without shutting his eyes while sitting.

This feeling became clearer after he closed his eyes. It's a shame that his body was just sixteen years old, and that the rad-power in his body was very weak, limiting his range of feeling. The sensation of being surrounded by just water droplets made him uneasy.

Gu Changjin stood silently to the side, mobilizing a small amount of radiant energy on his finger, softly waving it, and attracting the surrounding radiant energy.

He hadn't used rad-power in a long time, and now all he could do was move it. In another ten years, he will most likely be no different from an ordinary person, and he will no longer be able to protect Cheng Ran.

Although, Shi Qingyang was not very qualified and both of his parents had died, he was a decent guy. Cheng Hong didn't hate his son, he simply didn't want to see him. If Cheng Ran and Shi Qingyang remained in Spark City, Cheng Hong probably wouldn't mind…

Gu Changjin was repeatedly thinking about Cheng Ran's affairs. When he lifted his eyes, he found Shi Qingyang had opened his eyes.

“Didn’t I tell you to close your eyes and feel the radiant energy surrounding you?"

"I can sense the radiation energy already." Shi Qingyang said directly.

He did not want to pass up the chance to train in such an environment, therefore he would not conceal his progress.

Gu Changjin was taken aback; even if he was a born radiant, he would have to wait until he was sixteen for the sake of his body. He could only begin training after he was nearly grown, and he might not feel the radiation energy for the first time in the practice room.

Shi Qingyang had never been in the training room before, so how could he have sensed it so quickly?

"Can you feel the radiation energy? How does it feel?"

“It’s right by my side, like air, surrounding me." Shi Qingyang reached out his hand, and the radiation energy in front of him rippled like a stone tossed into water.

Gu Changjin's pupils shrank.

It was impossible for a fifth-level Rad-Warrior not to notice the fluctuation in radiation energy. As a result, Shi Qingyang could not only sense but also induce radiant energy. How long had it been since they entered here?

Gu Changjin had lived with Cheng Ran for a long time and had discovered Cheng Ran's talent, but he had not expected to discover another individual with such a great talent in the blink of an eye!

You should be aware that becoming a first-level Rad-Warrior was a simple process. As long as rad-power in the body could be used to cause the ambient radiation energy to moved, you will be certified as a first-level Rad-Warrior. Wouldn’t he be certified right away?

Gu Changjin was born in a secondary city and was considered a genius when he was young, but it took still three months after starting school for him to visit the training room hundreds of times and absorbing a lot of radiation energy to finally achieve this!

Gu Changjin stepped forward and held Shi Qingyang's hand in his, then sensed the unexpectedly scarce radiation energy in Shi Qingyang's body. Gu Changjin couldn't help but feel sorry for Shi Qingyang as he glared at him with the expression of looking at a monster. Shi Qingyang was very smart, but even though he could sense and trigger radiant energy very easily, he only had an ability of double C-. Without help of medicine, Gu Changjin was afraid, he’ll stop at 3th level.

Of course, this wasn’t to imply he couldn't crack through without the medicine, but if he does, he'll more likely hit against a rad-riot. If he was born into a wealthy family and drank the best medicine from a young age, Shi Qingyang would have a chance to reach 5th level, but now…

Gu Changjin sighed silently.

Shi Qingyang could already guess Gu Changjin's thoughts as he looked at his face, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he shifted his body's meager rad-power to his palm, and tapped his fingertips in the air. He made another gesture.

A person standing in the water and waving his hand would cause the water to swirl around him. The radiation energy behaved similarly. Even weak rad-power would cause such an effect. After Shi Qingyang did this, the radiant energy near his palm was aroused. These radiant energies collided and eventually knocked out a sharp edge that flow towards the wall. The radiation energy in the primary training room was very low, and Shi Qingyang's rad-power was insufficient. Therefore, strike couldn’t penetrate the special wall, but it was enough to leave Gu Changjin speechless once more.

Shi Qingyang's talent exceeded Gu Changjin expectations.

"You are really talented, but you have to keep in mind not to act so hastily. No matter what, your body is by far the most valuable thing. It wouldn’t be worth it if you injure your body while practicing."

Gu Changjin had intended to teach Shi Qingyang well, but at this point he knew there was little he could teach him; all he could do was remind him.

Many people today will live to be more than 90 years old, but if rad-power in their bodies was unstable, they would only live to be 60 or 70 years old.

"I'll pay heed, Grandpa Gu." Shi Qingyang nodded, rapidly shifting his hands, and two wind blades made of rad-power shot out together and collided with the opposite wall.

Wind Blade was the most basic radiation energy combat technique. Everyone will learn it. With some practice, most people will send one or two in under a second. Working with both hands, they would send out two to four strikes a second. As the rad-power in the body grown, the strike power would as well.

Shi Qingyang had trained to the point of exhaustion in the first place, and he had gained some dexterity. With one hand, this wind blade could strike six times per second, and with two hands, it could strike twelve times per second. It could take up to three to four seconds for the enemy to strike back with more advanced techniques. By then he would have attacked nearly fifty times.

Whoever wins, at a glance, it was obvious.

Furthermore, after a lot of practice, this had become instinct. He could send it out at any moment and from any place, and even while he had anything in his hand, he could cooperate with both hands. Of course, he couldn't do that now because his body hadn't trained it.

“You can already launch an attack! Had you been brought here before?” Gu Changjin, horrified, questioned.

He couldn't help but notice Master Qingyang's talent before, but now he realizes he was far too talentleess himself. After visiting practice room for the first time, it took Gu Changjin six months to strike so skillfully!

"Grandpa Gu, I sensed the radiation energy surrounding me while working at the city's gate. At the time, some Rad-Warrior were resting and guided me, but they also told me that the radiation energy there was too messy, so I didn’t practice there." Shi Qingyang just told half the truth.

“That’s it.”

Gu Changjin reflected on the situation at the city's entrance and was no longer as terrified as he had been initially, but he still believed Shi Qingyang was a monster.

Gu Changjin had only booked the room for three hours tonight because he was worried about Cheng Ran. He had assumed Shi Qingyang would only use try to sense radiation energy during these three hours, but Shi Qingyang was always hitting the wall.

Because the radiation energy in his body was very weak, after these two strikes, he had to sit down and rest, absorbing the radiation energy, before resuming the practice.

It took only a second to send another two wind blades.

Gu Changjin simply kept watching him repeating the actions of sending wind blades, restoring the radiation, in the following time.

Shi Qingyang didn’t speak nor was distracted by being watched.

Since Gu Changjin was expected at the beginning to enlighten Cheng Ran, he had been educated by his family and taught a variety of methods to persuade people who had just recently come into touch with radiation energy to keep being motivated but all of this was completely needless for Shi Qingyang. There was no need for others to nudge him; Shi Qingyang did not waste a single second, and he seems to be a tireless machine.

Even if Shi Qingyang's Rad-tolerance and Rad-control weren’t particularly high, Gu Changjin believes this individual would be extremely useful.

Shi Qingyang could become the most strongest 3th level Rad-Warrior.
