Facing the final two "killers," Jing hesitated for a long time and ultimately did not reveal their names.

"There's no need to know them, because as you are now, you're too far away from them. Knowing won't help you, it'll only add unnecessary trouble."

Jing spoke candidly for the first time.

"..."

Yun You was silent.

She wanted to question Jing's reason for not telling her the truth and wanted to know the names of those two, but in the end, all her questions turned into a simple "Got it," with no further entanglement.

The girl's decisiveness was beyond Jing's expectations.

"Girl, do you really not want to ask anymore?"

He asked curiously.

"Sure, but what's the use of asking?"

Yun You tilted her head and replied honestly, "Since you don't want to say anything, if I keep asking, all I'll get are fabricated lies... So, it's better not to ask, at least this way you're comfortable, and I have fewer worries."

"Uh..."

This time, Jing was silent.

He suddenly felt an inexplicable guilt... Realizing that the young girl he took on was so understanding that it made his heart ache.

Perhaps out of compensation, Jing casually picked up a pen and drew two "X"s on the pictures of Black Tiger and Hikamu.

"If you want, I can help you get rid of these two guys... Bring their heads to you, so you won't have to constantly think about how to kill these bastards every day."

"Forget it."

Once again surprising Jing, Yun You rejected his proposal without hesitation.

"Revenge, you know, if it's not done personally, what's the point?"

"If you killed him, it'd be like him accidentally dying on the road, it's basically as if I haven't avenged anything."

"Teacher, I'm happy you want to help Youyou, but settling scores with the enemy, let me handle it myself."

As she spoke, the girl didn't forget to curl her lips into a long-unseen smile at Jing.

This was the carefree smile of the Yun You from the past.

Jing blanked out again.

For a moment, he seemed to see a silhouette on Yun You...

Another young girl, youthful and bright, playful and cheerful, liked to bounce around in front of him, calling him sweetly... "Dad."

Perhaps it was precisely because he saw the shadow of that girl in Yun You that Jing, a powerful Apprentice Death God, would lower his guard and be willing to help a "student" he didn't know well.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, smiled, and shook his head.

"Good girl, worthy of being my student, so ambitious!"

"But ambition isn't enough; you need strong fists."

Jing wiped away the drawing on the computer screen and casually wrote down some numbers.

Yun You curiously leaned over to see, only to find Jing was writing down human body fitness data.

[Arm Strength Standard: Double-handed lift of 1700 kilograms]

[Punch Power Standard: Left fist 2000 kilograms / Right fist 3000 kilograms]

[Speed Standard: 60 meters per second, maintain at least 1 minute]

[All data must be achieved without prosthetic bodies or taking any illegal drugs]

"Here's the minimum entry level for Apprentice Death God."

Jing pointed at the numbers and patiently said, "Only by reaching this level are you eligible to register with the organization and participate in the Apprentice Death God examination."

"It is the only mandatory standard from the organization. If you don't meet this standard, you won't qualify as an Apprentice Death God... won't even have the chance to register."

"But it looks pretty difficult."

Yun You scratched her head.

The standard prohibits prosthetics and illegal drugs.

Doesn't this mean the tester can only rely on continuous training... or take genetic modification drugs to fundamentally change their physical condition to meet the standard?

The difficulty of training needs no further explanation, while genetic modification drugs in Nest City are definitely not something ordinary people can afford.

Even the most basic genetic modification drug can sell for over a million Yuan, and it is often unavailable on the market, which naturally makes it inaccessible to the lower-class citizens of Nest City.

Yun You finally understood why the number of Apprentice Death Gods is so rare.

Just this standard deters 99% of ordinary people.

But to Yun You presently, it's not too difficult. She just needs to find a way to absorb a little more nutrient material, and perhaps she can reach it...

"However, these data are just the association's standard. As a teacher, I'll have stricter requirements for you."

Jing spoke again, interrupting Yun You's wild thoughts.

"Girl, before registering as an Apprentice Death God, I demand your physical fitness reach at least double this data, especially in terms of speed, it must reach 150 meters per second."

"Only then will I allow you to participate in the Apprentice Death God exam."

"Why is that...?"

Yun You couldn't help being confused.

The registration requirements for Apprentice Death God are already high, and now Jing raised the requirements by twice, making it even harder to achieve.

However, the little girl was quick-witted and soon figured out Jing's intention.

"Could it be that after the physical condition exceeds the minimum standard, registering as an Apprentice Death God would have some benefits?"

Yun You probed the question.

"Pretty much, you're a smart girl, quick to catch on."

Jing nodded and casually praised before explaining, "Upon registering as an Apprentice Death God, the organization will prepare a special ritual to determine your Sequence and bestow upon you a unique Talent Ability..."

"From my observation, the stronger the physical body an Apprentice Death God has before the ritual, the stronger and more rare the ability they obtain... Simply put, like talent quality in games, it somewhat determines the upper limit of the Apprentice Death God's power."

"So, I hope you have higher standards for yourself, that way the talent you receive will be stronger."

With these words, Yun You understood Jing's intentions.

The world is never fair; effort might raise a person's lower limit, but the upper limit can only be determined by talent.

And as Yun You's teacher, Jing naturally hopes she can obtain the best talent, hence raising the requirements.

It must be said, even though they've just met, having this teacher allows the little girl to avoid many detours.

Her future... is no longer bleak, but has a clear direction.

Direction to become stronger.

"Speaking of which..."

Suddenly, Yun You's tone shifted, speaking seriously: "Becoming stronger requires resources and money to buy various materials."

"So..."

The little girl happily stretched out her hand.

"Old Jin! Burst some gold coins!"
