Careless, No Dodge!

Kid, you were far too naive.

If Bai Zhou's Divine Weapon Maiden, Lin Wei, were only S-Class, would he dare accept your challenge across two levels?

At this moment, the City Defense Force Captain was also shocked to discover that his mobility had somehow been restrained.

He could only watch helplessly as Bai Zhou's gleaming spear tip stabbed toward him.

Still, he was two levels higher than Bai Zhou in the end.

Just as Bai Zhou's Furious Stab reached his face—

He finally regained control of his body.

In a panic, he raised the spear in his hands horizontally before his chest.

Clang—!

Sparks flew.

The immense impact made the City Defense Force Captain's palm ache fiercely!

But it wasn't over yet!

The City Defense Force Captain was actually sent flying by the tremendous impact.

Bang!

He crashed heavily into the front of his own City Defense Force vehicle.

Boom! The vehicle's front end caved in, and its front tire burst!

The City Defense Force Captain looked as though he had been embedded in the metal body.

"What?!"

The surrounding City Defense Force members, along with the crowd watching from afar, immediately erupted in shocked cries.

"How is that possible?!"

Although their earlier reactions had shown that they were not on the City Defense Force Captain's side—

They could not help crying out in shock at this sight!

They knew that although the City Defense Force Captain had been parachuted into the position and was not particularly strong, he was still a Level 5 Spirit Master paired with a Level 5 Divine Weapon Maiden!

And what about Bai Zhou?

Everyone knew that the Eldest Young Master Bai had only just turned eighteen this year.

Today was also the day Bai Zhou's school held its class awakening ceremony.

Although they had just heard Bai Zhou announce that he had already reached Level 3—

They had found it hard to believe. After all, who had ever heard of someone rising three levels immediately after completing their class awakening?

But now, they found it even harder to believe!

Because if Young Master Bai was only Level 3, how could he send a Level 5 Spirit Master flying with a single blow?

Could it be that Young Master Bai had concealed his strength earlier?

So Young Master Bai had just completed his class awakening, yet his strength had already surpassed that of a Level 5 Spirit Master?

"As expected of the Eldest Young Master Bai!"

These people could no longer resist giving Bai Zhou a thumbs-up.

"That's right. Three of the Ten Great Masters are members of the Bai Family. The Eldest Young Master Bai couldn't possibly be weak!"

More than not weak—he was simply far too strong!

"He only completed his class awakening today, yet he instantly defeated a Level 5 Spirit Master."

"In the future, Young Master Bai will definitely become one of the Ten Great Masters!"

Of course, Shen Qin, who was sitting inside the vehicle, was no less shocked.

The tremendous crash from the vehicle had turned Shen Qin's face pale and made her entire body tremble.

Yet her eyes remained fixed on Bai Zhou through the shattered windshield.

At that moment, Bai Zhou, the Eldest Young Master Bai, stood there with a silver spear in hand.

He carried himself with an air of looking down upon the world.

There was only one word for it: handsome. Nothing more needed to be said.

Moreover, she also knew that the City Defense Force Captain Bai Zhou had sent flying with a single strike was a powerful Level 5 Spirit Master.

"Heh..."

A self-mocking smile unexpectedly appeared on Shen Qin's face as she murmured softly:

"I really was far too naive..."

"Before, I naively thought that after forming a contract with Chu Yun, an SSS-Class Talent, I could easily defeat Young Master Bai..."

"Now it seems Chu Yun being instantly defeated was only natural... entirely natural!"

"Chu Yun, you're merely an SSS-Class Talent. What makes you think you can compare to Young Master Bai?!"

Ding! Detected that the Protagonist's White Moonlight suffered +666 mental damage. Obtained +50 Destined Villain Value. 2250 more needed to unlock Villain Roulette!

Ding! Detected that a major supporting character suffered +30 physical damage and +999 mental damage. Obtained +50 Destined Villain Value. 2200 more needed to unlock Villain Roulette!

The sounds of astonishment around him, along with the system notifications ringing in his mind, naturally reached Bai Zhou's ears.

But Bai Zhou did not pay much attention to them.

Because he was delighted to discover that the Furious Stab he had just unleashed through Lin Wei—

Had directly triggered the effect of the Spirit Resonance Necklace.

In other words, Bai Zhou's strike had not only consumed nothing from either him or Lin Wei, but had also increased their attack power by 10%!

Together with the additional damage bonus from his control over Lin Wei—

He had directly sent a Level 5 Spirit Master flying.

And he remembered that the Spirit Resonance Necklace only had a 10% chance of triggering!

He had never expected it to activate on his very first attack.

This truly was...

The battle had only just begun, yet he had heavily injured his opponent without any expenditure at all.

The outcome had become obvious in an instant. How could Bai Zhou not be happy?

Ding! Detected that a major supporting character suffered +999 mental damage. Obtained +50 Destined Villain Value. 2150 more needed to unlock Villain Roulette!

"Bastard!"

The City Defense Force Captain's face had turned ashen, and blood even stained the corner of his mouth.

He struggled to pull himself out of the vehicle's crushed front end.

Thud! Thud! His two steps were still somewhat unsteady.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The City Defense Force Captain gripped his spear with both hands.

He almost ground his teeth as he let out a hoarse voice, glaring fixedly at Bai Zhou.

Of course. Even the bystanders were that shocked—what other reaction could he, the person involved, have?

Meanwhile, Bai Zhou, who had not expended anything at all, looked at the City Defense Force Captain with his usual calm curve at the corner of his mouth.

He straightened up, lowered his spear tip diagonally toward the ground, and said indifferently:

"What? Refusing to admit defeat? You still want to continue?"

Ding! Detected that a major supporting character suffered +999 mental damage. Obtained +50 Destined Villain Value. 2100 more needed to unlock Villain Roulette!

"Why should I admit defeat?!"

The City Defense Force Captain actually threw back his neck and let out a roar.

"I was careless just now. I didn't dodge! You brat have no martial ethics—you launched a sneak attack!"

"Otherwise, how could a mere Level 3 Spirit Master possibly hurt me?!"

"What a joke!"

Whoosh!

Before the City Defense Force Captain had even finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light.

With spear in hand, he shot straight toward Bai Zhou.

Damn!

Who the hell was the one with no martial ethics and launching a sneak attack?!

Bai Zhou had been talking to him, yet he gave him no time to react before charging in with his spear!

And he still had the nerve to accuse someone else of launching a sneak attack?!

Still, one thing he said was true: it was indeed rather difficult for a Level 3 Spirit Master to injure him.

But... an Ultra SSS-Class Divine Weapon Maiden was not something a trivial two-level gap could make up for!

And Bai Zhou was feeling rather fortunate right now.

Fortunate that his earlier Furious Stab had triggered the Spirit Resonance Necklace's effect.

Otherwise, both of his skills would now be on cooldown.

The City Defense Force Captain might actually have succeeded in his sneak attack.

But now, Bai Zhou's Furious Stab had no cooldown at all.

Therefore, the instant the City Defense Force Captain moved—

Bai Zhou immediately communicated with Lin Wei:

"Furious Stab!"

The City Defense Force Captain was rushing forward, just about to successfully ambush Bai Zhou.

Yet he suddenly heard another shout beside his ear.

The mobility restraint brought by that shout instantly forced his body to stop in place!

"Impossible!"

The instant his body stiffened, the City Defense Force Captain let out another roar in his heart.

This feeling of being controlled... shouldn't this be his Divine Weapon Maiden's skill?!

But he just used that skill. How could he chain it together without any gap?!

Could such a powerful skill be his Divine Weapon Maiden's passive ability?! How is that possible? Could his Divine Weapon Maiden really be above S-Class?!

Ding! Detected that a major supporting character suffered +999 mental damage. Obtained +50 Destined Villain Value. 2050 more needed to unlock Villain Roulette!

But no matter how frantically he screamed that it was impossible in his heart—

He could not change the reality before him.

He had originally been the one launching a sneak attack on Bai Zhou.

Yet now, he had somehow become the one forced into defense again?

Only when Bai Zhou's spear tip neared him did he finally regain his ability to move.

He could only raise his spear to defend himself once more.

Clang—! Sparks flew, exactly as they had before.

The City Defense Force Captain's body was sent flying backward once again.

Thunk! He was firmly wedged into the front of the vehicle behind him once more.

Even his movements were exactly the same as before.

But when Bai Zhou saw this scene, a cold glint suddenly appeared in his eyes!
