Watching the other man's subordinates eagerly prepare to do his bidding, Bai Zhou could not help feeling a little surprised.
Yeah. Before transmigrating, whenever he read novels, he had always put himself in the Protagonist's shoes.
Whenever he encountered someone so arrogant and overbearing, along with those disgusting lackeys, he would be furious and frustrated.
And now, he had become the one throwing his weight around?
But why did this feel so damn good?
It seemed that before transmigrating, his perspective had been far too narrow!
Seeing that his subordinates were really about to obey Bai Zhou's orders and open the door to let the people out, the Captain could no longer suppress his anger.
"Who the fuck do you think you work for?!"
"Are you looking to die?!"
"Let's see who dares open that car door!"
Along with his low shout,
an aura unique to a Spirit Master rose around the Captain.
The pressure bore down on them, and the team members all came to an abrupt halt.
After all, when carrying out missions within the city, usually only the Captain of a City Defense Force squad was a Spirit Master who had contracted a Divine Weapon Maiden.
The others were merely ordinary people with somewhat greater strength.
In that instant, the Captain's aura had cowed them all.
Yet, faced with such pressure, they still gritted their teeth and said,
"Captain, please have some mercy on us!"
"You can provoke the Bai Family and just walk away."
"But we live here. Our families are here too. Please, give us a way to survive!"
"That's right, Captain!"
"If something happens to us because we offended the Bai Family, we won't let you off even as ghosts!"

"You!" The Captain practically ground his teeth as he roared, "Someone is harming you, but instead of seeking revenge on the people hurting you, you're blaming me?!"
"If it weren't for you, how would we have possibly offended the Bai Family?!"
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +777 mental damage. You have gained +50 Destined Villain Value. Villain Roulette requires 2500 more to activate!
"Creak, creak..."
That was the sound of the Captain grinding his molars.
In his eyes, his useless subordinates were now even more hateful than Bai Zhou.
At that moment, the young woman behind him—his Divine Weapon Maiden—walked over and gently took hold of the Captain's arm.
She clearly wanted to comfort him and calm him down.
But unexpectedly, the instant the Captain saw his Divine Weapon Maiden,
a cold glint flashed through his eyes, and he steeled his heart.
With a smack, he grabbed the Divine Weapon Maiden's right hand.
The next second,
his Divine Weapon Maiden transformed into specks of starlight, slowly condensing into the phantom image of a spear in his hand.
The Captain's Divine Weapon Maiden was a spear as well?
Taking up his stance, the Captain spoke to Bai Zhou in a chilling voice.
"You want to take the people in that vehicle away, right?"
"Simple. Beat me!"
Hearing the Captain's words, Bai Zhou was somewhat surprised.
They were getting physical already?
Moreover, the other man had not challenged him, so this did not count as an arena duel.
However, the City Defense Force was indeed permitted to engage in battles between Spirit Masters without holding an arena duel.
After all, they had to enforce the law.
But the surrounding City Defense Force members immediately began hopping around in panic.
"Captain, did a donkey kick you in the head?!"
"How dare you draw a weapon on the Eldest Young Master Bai?!"
"And Eldest Young Master Bai should have only completed his class awakening today. You actually want to fight him? Do you have no shame?!"
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +555 mental damage. You have gained +50 Destined Villain Value. Villain Roulette requires 2450 more to activate!
Bai Zhou paid little attention to the City Defense Force members' shouting or the system prompt in his mind.
At that moment, a mirror had already appeared in the void above his head.
The light of the Mirror of Omniscience shone upon the Captain.
Name: Soul Severing Spear Level: Level 5 Quality: A-Class Talent Skill: Soul Severing: Passive skill. Intimidates spiritual weapons of equal or lower quality, slowing the opposing Spirit Master's actions. Class: Spirit Master Level: Level 5 Talent: A-Class Spirit Master Talent: Fire Affinity. When using fire-element spiritual weapons, power increases by 10%!
The information on the Captain and his Divine Weapon Maiden appeared clearly before Bai Zhou's eyes.
Bai Zhou was a little surprised.
Why were these two only at the measly Level 5?
Although Bai Zhou himself was only Level 3, that did not stop him from thinking so.
A mere Level 5.
Yeah. Bai Zhou knew that in this world, only Spirit Masters who surpassed Level 10 could truly be considered to have entered the ranks of Spirit Masters.
Before Level 10, they could only be considered beginners at most.
And this Captain had become a Captain at only Level 5?
It seemed this guy had not become Captain through any legitimate means.
At that moment, hearing the voices around him, the Captain found it hard to save face, but he still said slowly,
"Since you only completed your class awakening today, I won't bully you!"
"I'll use one hand. As long as you can last ten minutes against the attacks of one hand, you win. How about it, Eldest Young Master Bai?"
After the Divine Weapon Maiden merged with him, the Captain's voice carried even more calm confidence.
But Bai Zhou's expression did not change from beginning to end.
He turned to glance at Lin Wei. Without saying anything, he merely gave her a look.
Lin Wei nodded slightly.
Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, manifest!
When the Captain saw the gleaming spear in Bai Zhou's hand, he said in surprise,
"I didn't expect your Divine Weapon Maiden to be the same as mine?"
"You think you're worthy?" Bai Zhou replied with three casual words.
Ding! A major character has suffered +444 mental damage. You have gained +50 Destined Villain Value. Villain Roulette requires 2400 more to activate!
"Hmph!" The Captain snorted coldly. "Sharp-tongued brat, I'd like to see just how long you can keep acting so arrogant!"
"Are you ready?!"
Bai Zhou smiled faintly, holding the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear in one hand as he pointed it diagonally at the ground. Then he slowly said,
"Level 3 Spirit Master Bai Zhou. Please instruct me."
"What?!"
The instant Bai Zhou's words fell, an uproar immediately erupted around them!
"Level 3?!"
"How can he be Level 3? Didn't Young Master Bai only complete his class awakening today? Even if he contracted a Divine Weapon Maiden, he should only be Level 1 at most!"
"Oh my god, Level 3 right after changing class? That's insane!"
"Was that the Bai Family's doing? Rich people can reach Level 3 as soon as they change class, so what was the point of me grinding levels so hard?"
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +666 mental damage. You have gained +50 Destined Villain Value. Villain Roulette requires 2350 more to activate!
That was right. When he heard Bai Zhou announce himself,
even the Captain was stunned!
Wasn't he supposed to be Level 1? How had he become Level 3?
I awakened two years ago and only just reached Level 5!
How did he train?
And I just said I'd give him one hand?!
Great. The gap between us had instantly shrunk to just two levels. Could I really take him down within ten minutes using only one hand?
The Captain was beginning to doubt himself.
But Bai Zhou did not care about any of that.
"Dragon Gall!"
With a hum, the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear in his hand seemed to let out a faint tremor.
Immediately after, a pale white glow appeared along the spear shaft.
"Furious Stab!"
That was right. Bai Zhou used Lin Wei's two talent skills right away!
Although he had fought an A-Class pair before, this A-Class pair was two levels higher than both him and Lin Wei.
So Bai Zhou did not dare lower his guard.
"Ha!" While the Captain was still doubting himself, a thunderous shout suddenly rang in his ears.
It made his spear-wielding movement freeze.
But Bai Zhou's spear tip had already shot toward him like an arrow loosed from the bow.
The Captain's expression changed drastically, and he thought in alarm,
How is he so fast?! Isn't my Divine Weapon Maiden's passive skill affecting him at all?!
Could it be... his Divine Weapon Maiden is of higher quality than mine?! Could she be S-Class?!
