The A-level Warrior heard this and became even more enraged, "I've already let you go, and you're still not done?"

However, thinking about the opponent's reaction just now, he was startled again and instinctively wanted to use his Spiritual Power to perceive.

Fortunately, he remembered where this place was, so he turned back and glared fiercely at the rear.

Qu Jianlei had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, trailing them from a distance with a composed expression.

"This guy..." The A-level Warrior felt a chill in his heart; is this damn guy targeting me?

He didn't honestly think that a B-level could take him down—talking about dueling was just nonsense; anyone who believed it was a fool.

He highly suspected the opponent had contacted another A-level to try to rob him.

Thinking of this, he was both angry and furious: this damn thing is getting out of hand!

The C-level Warrior also vaguely felt something was wrong, "This guy... doesn't have pure intentions."

"Let's walk a bit," the A-level Warrior ordered with a blank expression, "see if he keeps following."

The C-level Warrior sighed inwardly; the other party was following so blatantly, it's unlikely they'd give up easily.

But he also knew that his master was at a bottleneck and urgently needed some opportunity to attempt to reach the Supreme level.

In this situation, even without the celestial power of the Luo Family on the Celestial Sharp Star, facing a supreme force, he would still take the gamble.

So he tried to persuade, "I think this guy's strength isn't that bad, and he might be connected with an A-level."

The strength is definitely not bad! The A-level Warrior knew well that the opponent's composure just now couldn't be faked.

A slew of thoughts flashed through his mind.

If he took the initiative to contact someone now, he could find a peer in Celestial Wings to help, but a reliable one… he could at most secure one.

Doing it this way would inevitably incur some costs, but that didn't matter.

As long as he could vent this anger, spending some money was really nothing—clearing his mind was more important than anything.

But he had to consider another possibility: what if two A-levels couldn't handle the opponent's A+B-level?

It's no joke; this possibility really existed, and he had heard of similar cases more than once.

So that's why he's been tailing me like this? Who gave you such confidence?

After walking for a while, the C-level Warrior adjusted his watch slightly, swinging his arm as he walked, coincidentally capturing the rear.

"See if he's still following."

The A-level Warrior glanced at his watch, his face turning grim again, "Quite daring!"

The C-level Warrior suggested, "Why don't we rent a car and see if he still follows?"

The two rented a car, and their expressions changed immediately... the opponent actually rented a car too and followed them!

The C-level noticed his A-level's expression wasn't good and quickly voiced, "Boss, be prudent!"

The taxi drove around the city, and eventually, the A-level took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "To the Splendid Hotel."

They had been in Celestial Wings for some time and initially rented a private house—not because they couldn't afford a hotel, but mainly because it wasn't convenient.

But now with the car heading to the hotel, there was only one possibility: this guy was scared too.

The city's hotels were still very safe, not to mention the Splendid Hotel was in the top two in Celestial Wings, housing many Military families.

The C-level Warrior's mouth twitched but dared not utter a single word.

The car stopped at the Splendid Hotel, and the A-level Warrior got out and muttered under his breath, "Can't lose out for a small thing."

Only then did the C-level Warrior speak, "Indeed, there are many academies coming, and arguing with a little B-level isn't worth it."

The A-level Warrior kept his lips tightly shut, not responding—he really had no way to answer.

The two registered for a room and moved in directly, choosing a suite—for the convenience of dealing with potential threats together.

The C-level Warrior was still watching the hotel entrance, "That guy actually got off too, and... he didn't leave!"

The A-level Warrior remained silent, pretending not to hear.

A minute later, he suddenly spoke, "Inform the hotel front desk to cancel all room service!"

The hotel's room service had decent services, and by saying this, it meant they wanted no disturbances.

The C-level Warrior thought for a moment and then summoned the courage to ask, "What if he comes knocking..."

The A-level Warrior grimly asked, "What's the hotel's security for?"

After a pause, he added, "I'm not being timid, it's just... not worth it!"

"Indeed not worth it," the C-level nodded repeatedly, "we have more important matters to handle."

The A-level Warrior fell silent again, and after a while, he snorted coldly, "Once I free up, I won't let that guy off easily!"

Qu Jianlei waited at the hotel entrance until nearly nine at night.

Convinced that the opponent was unlikely to come out again, he turned to leave.

Today, he didn't successfully get his revenge, but he wasn't too regretful, at least he forced the other side into hiding in the hotel.

So, really, don't act tough; you never know when you'll inadvertently provoke a badass.

No financial gain doesn't matter, clearing his mind was more important than anything.

In fact, he couldn't wait any longer anyway, as he had to assemble early tomorrow to head to the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion.

It's fine to act rashly, but don't delay important business, right?

The C-level Warrior breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him leave, "That guy finally left."

The A-level Warrior heard this and smirked, "I thought he wasn't going to Mist Mansion, hehe, nothing special!"

Celestial Wings City was really too small, Qu Jianlei took about ten minutes to return to the hotel.

Ford was restless, and when he saw Qu Jianlei finally breathe a sigh of relief, "Finally back... If you didn't come back, I would have had to go find you."

"I was just walking around," Qu Jianlei casually replied, "won't delay anything important."

Ford saw how relaxed he was and couldn't help but get a bit curious, "How are those two doing?"

"Those two?" Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then answered casually, "Checked into the Splendid Hotel."

"Splendid Hotel?" Ford was also surprised, then he laughed.

They had come yesterday and also looked for a hotel, so they had some impression of the Splendid Hotel, "Scared into that state?"

"I hadn't planned to do anything to them," Qu Jianlei spread his hands, answering helplessly, "Just couldn't let the thought go."

"Get some rest earlier," Ford spoke sternly, "I'll take care of those two, and somehow drag them out!"

Early the next morning before it was light, the students of Xingluo Academy got up, had breakfast together, and then gathered in the parking lot.

Qu Jianlei timely contacted Luo Hanshuang and managed to sit in the Xingluo Academy's school bus.

The Academy had a total of two school buses, each seating a hundred people, with fifty-one students and one hundred and two guardians.

The Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion was more than seven hundred kilometers from Celestial Wings, the nearest major city.

The school bus took eight hours to get there, no wonder it had to set off so early.

The scenery along the way was as desolate as ever, a planetary apocalypse scene, until a yellow aura-covered dome appeared ahead.

The dome looked like an upside-down bowl, Qu Jianlei recognized it immediately.

He couldn't help but marvel: such a protective shield that materializes energy was quite costly.

Seeing the aura and reaching the destination, the school bus drove for another twenty minutes.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a purely energy protective shield, with a diameter of about one kilometer.

Inside the energy shield were a few small buildings, mostly two or three stories, with only one four-story building.

The buildings were covered with weapons, but only a few guards were present.

The school bus stopped in front of the Light Shield, and a teacher from Xingluo Academy took out an item and waved it out the window.

Suddenly, a door appeared on the Light Shield, with no door frame, just a pure energy gap.

Qu Jianlei's pupils slightly contracted, "Such a way of energy projection affecting tangible operations... very sophisticated."

At this time, he was already sitting with Luo Hanshuang and Aunt Han, about to enter the Mist Mansion, everyone began assembling their teams.

Xiaobaitian couldn't help but speak, "You even understand this?"

Qu Jianlei glanced at her, then shook his head, "Not really, just a random guess."

Luo Hanshuang puffed out her cheeks but did not speak, thinking you said yesterday you weren't going to Mist Mansion.

The two school buses stopped in the middle of the aura, which was quite a large square.

Then the teacher called the students to line up, with two guardians standing beside each student.

Qu Jianlei then attentively looked at these guardians, finding... there were C-level Warriors?

His thoughts were again a bit tangled.

Qu Jianlei believed some students indeed couldn't afford A-level Warriors... and even hiring B-level Warriors wasn't that easy.

But thinking about that A-level Warrior yesterday, who wanted to forcibly buy an entry permit, he really couldn't understand the logic here.

Aunt Han saw his eyes and guessed what he was thinking.

So, she spoke softly, "Forcibly competing for entry permits, too much hidden danger... at times like this, students can report."

Qu Jianlei blinked and mildly nodded, no wonder that person emphasized the need to trade.

But why do I still feel something's not quite right?

The students lined up, arriving in front of the four-story building.

In front of the building was a huge arch, the material of which couldn't be determined, with four superpower warriors behind the door, two A-levels and two B-levels.

Students and guardians passed through the arch sequentially, unexpectedly, the second student was stopped.

A B-level Warrior came over and waved at the student, "Come here!"

The student and two guardians, puzzled, followed to the side, seeing the B-level Warrior quietly say a few words.

One of the student's guardians suddenly understood and nodded, taking out a Storage Talisman from their pocket.

Meanwhile, the third student passed through, and the fourth as well.

The fifth student was stopped again for carrying a Storage Talisman and taken to the side.

However, the inspectors didn't confiscate the Storage Talisman, just checked what was inside.

Then they kept the Storage Talisman and had the student and guardians walk through the arch again.

"I was saying," Xiaobaitian patted her small chest, "If they weren't allowed to bring Storage Talismans, they should have told us beforehand."

Aunt Han spoke thoughtfully, "I guess someone must have brought in forbidden items."
