Li Wei's reaction caught Caitlyn completely off guard.
She had thought that, faced with the extended blade, Li Wei would dodge. Even if he did not, he should have used some kind of wind magic to block it.
But unexpectedly, he switched styles without any warning.
No longer a mage—he had become a berserker!
He charged straight into the blade without changing expression, letting it tear through his skin and slice into his flesh without slowing his steps in the slightest.
Caitlyn instinctively tried to leap backward to evade, but—
"Gale Force Head Split!"
A storm suddenly blew in from behind her.
Though this wind was nowhere near devastating or terrifyingly sharp, it was enough to send Caitlyn's light, delicate figure swaying when she was caught off guard.
"W-What?"
Before Caitlyn could react, she found herself dragged before Li Wei by that strange wind.
They had been several meters apart, yet in an instant, they were face-to-face, fist-to-fist.
What happened when a sniper let an enemy get close?
"Wind Fist!" Li Wei's fists accelerated with the airflow as they mercilessly slammed toward Caitlyn, who was right in front of him.
Caitlyn was actually quite formidable in close combat.
After all, in this world, the power of consciousness was truly powerful.
As long as one's spirit was strong enough and one's will firm enough, even an ordinary person could gain terrifying physical abilities comparable to supernatural creatures through relentless training, struggle, and battle.
So even in hand-to-hand combat, Caitlyn might not have been much weaker than Li Wei.
But the problem was—
She truly had not expected that the key to Li Wei's full-powered "Wind Fist" was not using wind to "enchant" his fists.
It was using the wind coiling around his fists to blind his enemy before the punch even landed.
It was like throwing a handful of lime into the enemy's eyes before a fight.
And it was done in a way that the audience could not even notice, seeing only a sharp, domineering move that still carried the majesty of an upright technique.
"Ah!"
Just as Caitlyn instinctively tried to defend herself, a powerful gust blew straight into her eyes.
Her eyes stung fiercely, and she could not open them no matter how hard she tried.
A blind player getting rushed down by a fighter—the result was obvious.
"Get down!"
Li Wei's storm-boosted left hook sent the Hextech Rifle from Caitlyn's arms flying.
Then another heavy right hook mercilessly hammered her to the ground.
He followed up with a police restraining technique he had learned from television, smoothly pressing a knee against Caitlyn's back, locking both her hands behind her, and pinning her heavily to the floor.
"My apologies, Miss Caitlyn."
In the blink of an eye, Miss Caitlyn, who had just displayed such sharp skills, had fallen beneath Li Wei's "Wind Fist."
And she was firmly locked beneath him with a restraining hold, unable to move at all.
"Miss Caitlyn!"
The Enforcers' eyes nearly split with rage.
They even forgot their fear of Li Wei and instinctively wanted to step forward to rescue Caitlyn.
But Li Wei frightened them off with a single sentence. "No one move—or I'll kill her right now!"
The Enforcers' faces turned pale, and they immediately lowered their guns.
As for Li Wei, although he had been injured in the fight just now, his fierce and domineering performance only made him seem even more powerful, terrifying, and unfathomable.
Especially when everyone noticed that the savage wound torn across Li Wei's arm was slowly healing at a visible rate, their awe and worship of the strong became even more intense.
The situation was now completely under Li Wei's control.
All the Enforcers feared him.
Only Caitlyn did not.
"Mr. Li Wei, please do not keep making mistakes!"
Though Li Wei had her firmly pinned to the ground, Caitlyn stubbornly turned her face to the side, trying to look at him as she spoke.
"Piltover may pursue peace, but it is not a place where just any mage can come and act with impunity. If you insist on assaulting Enforcers and fleeing, what awaits you will only be a stronger, deadlier pursuit force!"
"I advise you to stop in time and cooperate with our investigation."
"I promise—we will uncover the truth and give you justice!"
"The truth?" Li Wei could not help sneering. "Miss Caitlyn, you still suspect that what I said is not the truth, don't you?"
Caitlyn remained silent.
But her stubborn expression already explained everything.
"Fine." Li Wei did not mock her anymore.
He merely asked Caitlyn curiously, "When you came here, how did your superiors describe me to you?"
"Violently causing serious injury, openly robbing property, and possessing prohibited items," Caitlyn answered.
All of it was true. Her superiors had not lied to them at all.
"Then did your superiors tell you why I beat up that fat man?"
No. At least, Caitlyn did not know yet.
"Because that fat man was a gang boss! If I hadn't beaten him up, that bastard would have taken me back and sold me as a prostitute!" Li Wei coldly helped this young lady see reality.
"And you Piltover Enforcers did not show up when the Zaunite Gangs were trying to kidnap me. Yet you appeared after I beat someone up—and you did not come to investigate a case, but to kill me!"
As he spoke, Li Wei cast a cold glance at the young Enforcer whose gun had "gone off."
"I-I didn't..." The young Enforcer was so frightened he was nearly crying.
But he still stubbornly refused to admit it, not daring to admit it.
"Perhaps it really was an accident. Perhaps it was not." Caitlyn's attitude remained rigid. "Before the truth is uncovered, no one can jump to conclusions."
"If the truth really is as you said, then I will absolutely not let those guilty people escape the punishment of the law."
"Good!" Li Wei laughed. "Since you still believe so strongly in Piltover's laws, then I'll give you the truth right now!"
As he spoke, he turned toward the young Enforcer.
"Mr. Enforcer, I'll ask you one last time—did your gun go off because you were nervous, or did someone instruct you to do it? If someone instructed you, who was it?"
"I want you to say it yourself, so everyone can hear!"
"Say it, and you can live. Don't say it, and... heh."
Li Wei did not say any more vicious threats. He merely slowly opened his palm, raised it toward the sky, and chanted loudly.
"Gale, heed my command!"
The display was incomparably grand, but what he summoned was only a breeze.
Yes, just a breeze. The wind was very weak.
Li Wei's divine power was currently limited. Every time he used magic, he had to choose between its "intensity" and its "scale."
Like the same amount of dough, which could be made into a steamed bun the size of a fist or spread into a pancake the size of a washbasin.
The wind wall he had used before was the "steamed bun," while the breeze he stirred up now was the "pancake."
Though this breeze was weak—
Its range was enormous!
In an instant, Lina, Caitlyn, Viktor, Seraphine, the students, the Enforcers—everyone present could clearly feel it—
The sky seemed to have changed.
Air currents slowly drifted through the windows, brushed across their cheeks, and swirled through the classroom.
Fallen leaves, dry twigs, sheets of paper—everything light enough to float began drifting with the wind.
The invisible wind became visible. Countless leaves danced, gathered, and spiraled with the breeze, eventually transforming into a winding, majestic Eastern dragon.
This wind dragon nearly filled the entire classroom. It danced above everyone's heads and slowly circled Li Wei. Some dreadful, terrifying power seemed to be gathering and brewing under his control, ready to erupt at any moment!
A storm seemed about to arrive.
At the heart of this storm, everyone felt how small they were.
Those Enforcers were scared senseless.
In truth, any professional mage would have been able to tell at a glance that the "wind dragon" Li Wei had summoned was merely an impressive-looking fake.
Rather than a combat skill, it was more of an entertaining parlor trick.
But to ordinary people who rarely had the chance to interact with mages, Li Wei's move truly looked like it had shaken heaven and earth, changing the color of the winds and clouds!
Not only the Enforcers, but even those Zaunite students saw their confidence in Li Wei and in the cause of struggle surge rapidly.
In an instant, several more students who had originally been hesitant developed faith in Janna's Ideology. It was not firm faith, but it was strength nonetheless.
"I said this was your last chance." Li Wei issued his final ultimatum.
"I'll talk! I'll talk right now!" The young Enforcer cried as he dropped to his knees.
The stubbornness in Caitlyn's eyes, which had never changed, finally could no longer hold.
Having always dreamed of becoming an Enforcer, she had finally seen the difference between dreams and reality.
"It was Chief Marcos—"
"Chief Marcos personally told me to take the opportunity to kill you!"
