Song Jie entered the apartment, casually closed the door, and walked toward the living room.
The layout of both apartments was identical, so he quickly spotted the bathroom.
Tang Yue was heading in the same direction, and he followed her.
She entered the bathroom, took out a hairdryer, and reminded him, "It's slippery here, be careful."
Song Jie stood at the door, nodding, his eyes wandering over the bottles of shower gel and shampoo inside.
"It's in there, go get it yourself," Tang Yue said, gesturing toward the bathtub.
Song Jie stepped inside and crouched to check the basket of bottles.
But when he saw the various foreign labels, he froze.
Most of them were written in different languages — he couldn't understand a thing.
"Teacher Tang Yue, you've got all sorts of languages here. Can you tell me which ones are which? I just need the shower gel and shampoo," Song Jie said helplessly.
Tang Yue laughed softly, then turned slightly while drying her hair. "Yes, yes, that one to your left is the shower gel!"
"No, not that one — the white bottle on your far right, that's the shampoo!"
After a bit of back-and-forth, Song Jie finally found what he needed.
"Then I'll go now."
Just as he turned to leave, his foot suddenly slipped.
His whole body lurched forward.
Tang Yue instantly dropped the hairdryer and reached out to catch him — but he fell faster than she could react.
Her hand caught nothing but air.
Then she looked down — and realized her bathrobe had come undone! The belt that had tied it was missing.
Song Jie glanced at what he was holding.
It was the belt of Tang Yue's bathrobe.
When he looked up again, his eyes widened — before him was a blinding expanse of white.
Tang Yue's expression froze before she quickly tightened her robe, her face burning red with both anger and embarrassment.
Her eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Teacher Tang Yue, please listen! I didn't do it on purpose — I don't even know how—" Song Jie tried to explain frantically.
It was true — he had only tried to steady himself and had accidentally grabbed the wrong thing!
But the look in Tang Yue's eyes grew even more dangerous.
In a sudden fit of panic — or boldness — Song Jie lifted his shirt and said, "Teacher Tang Yue, how about you look at mine too? Then we'll be even."
Instantly, his eight-pack abs were revealed under the warm light.
Tang Yue froze, her cheeks flushing crimson.
"What are you doing?! Put your clothes down right now!" she scolded, her voice rising sharply.
Song Jie grinned mischievously and flexed his abs slightly. "Since Teacher Tang Yue doesn't like looking, shall I put them away then?"
"Get out! Out of my sight immediately!" Tang Yue shouted, pointing to the door, her whole face red.
"Alright!" Song Jie quickly grabbed the shampoo and shower gel, bolted out of the bathroom, and shut the door behind him.
Inside, Tang Yue turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her face.
The coolness helped ease her racing heartbeat and burning cheeks.
"This guy…" she muttered, half angry and half amused.
At this point, she truly had no privacy left in front of Song Jie — everything that could be seen had already been seen.
Meanwhile, Song Jie leaned against the door of his own apartment, sighing with relief.
He was lucky she hadn't beaten him up.
Thinking back on the scene, he realized that Tang Yue's slender waist was her deadliest weapon — dangerously alluring!
He lay down on his bed, intending to take a shower, when his phone buzzed.
It was a message from Mu Nujiao.
She said that in two days, they would be heading to Jinlin City for an exchange student training program.
Song Jie replied, reminding her to be careful, while already planning his next move.
Although Lu Nian would eventually be killed by Mo Fan, it wouldn't hurt to give him one extra stab beforehand.
Military Conference Room.
Lu Nian sat at the head of the table, with Jiang Yi and the others beside him.
After everyone arrived, Lu Nian stood and swept his gaze across them.
Their previous plan — using Song Jie as an experiment — had failed miserably. Worse, the higher-ups had found out.
Luckily, there wasn't enough evidence to punish them, so they had stayed quiet for a while.
But now, they had a new plan — and a new target.
Lu Nian's expression darkened as he said solemnly, "If we succeed this time, we'll become the founders of the Demon Element!
We will witness the birth of a brand-new Element — the strongest among them all!
We've waited long enough. Now, our moment has finally come. Are you excited?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Excited!" they shouted in unison.
"Then let's move out!" Lu Nian ordered, striding out of the conference room.
Southern Military District.
As Song Jie stepped off the plane, the familiar system chime echoed in his mind.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host! [Radiance – Sword of Penetration] has undergone an outrageous evolution, transforming into [Radiance – Piercing Soul]!"
It was a fourth-level Light Element primary spell — now evolved five times in total!
Sword of Penetration could ignore defensive barriers and equipment, but Piercing Soul could attack a person's very spirit!
Song Jie was stunned. The Light Element could even launch spiritual attacks now?!
He didn't dwell on it and walked out of the airport.
Outside, Zhang Xiaohou spotted him and waved.
"Brother Jie!"
"Monkey," Song Jie greeted with a smile.
"Brother Jie, do you need something from Commander Zhan Kong?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"Yes. I have something very important to discuss with him."
"Then let's hurry. Boss Zhan Kong's still in his office — if we're late, he might head out," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Got it."
They climbed into an off-road vehicle and drove straight to the Military Mage Camp.
After Song Jie finished the interrogation work for the Lingyin Temple, he had left Lin'an and come directly here.
Before long, the vehicle pulled up at Zhan Kong's division headquarters.
"Brother Jie, Boss Zhan Kong's office is on the third floor — first room to the left of the stairs. I've got something else to handle, so I'll leave you here," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"You go ahead," Song Jie replied, then headed upstairs.
Soon, he stood at Zhan Kong's office door and knocked.
"Come in!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Song Jie pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Zhan Kong put down the documents in his hand, smiled, and said, "You're here? Come, have a seat."
