"Huh? Why would I say something weird like no one can send me flying?"
"What just happened? How did this guy die so suddenly?!"
Zhang Chen was full of surprise.
With his high school student level, being sent flying by a Rank 4 Demon Spirit should be a normal thing, right?!
Why was he so angry just now?
He should be grateful to be sent flying but not die, so why get angry?!
Zhang Chen himself was a bit confused.
Regardless, he should collect the Rank 4 spirit core first!
He was rich now, absolutely rich!
On the rooftop of a distant building, the long-haired girl and the others were all stunned.
"Strong! He's incredibly strong!"
"Is this strength really just from a high school student? It's outrageously strong!"
"If he's this strong now, how terrifying will he become when he grows up?!"
"And he said he wasn't confident in defeating Demon Spirits? He just instantly killed it! As expected, a man's mouth is a deceiving ghost!"
At this moment, two members of the Spiritual Power Association had quietly appeared behind the students of Phoenix Academy.
"Cough cough!"
To avoid startling them by speaking directly, the two coughed first.
"Who?"
Even so, the sudden cough still startled the girls present.
"Apologies, we didn't mean to startle you lovely young ladies!"
"We are from the Spiritual Power Association. My name is Lin Wenxuan, and his name is Lei Gang!"
Lin Wenxuan, wearing glasses and with a refined demeanor, took the initiative to introduce his burly companion to the students.
"Greetings, Senior Lin, Senior Lei!"
The long-haired girl and the others quickly bowed respectfully and said.
The Spiritual Power Association was a department established by the state, equivalent to civil servants.
It was also the most coveted employer for students from many prestigious universities.
Being able to build good relationships with these seniors would be like having a guide when entering the Spiritual Power Association, allowing them to skip many detours.
Moreover, for the girls, people from the Spiritual Power Association were also the most charming, popular, and desirable partners for dating and marriage.
"You flatter us, we've just been alive a few years longer!"
"On the contrary, you are the elites of Phoenix Academy, and your future achievements are limitless!"
Lin Wenxuan said politely.
"Hey, stop flirting and get to business. It looks like we're late again!"
Lei Gang nudged Lin Wenxuan, pointing at the devastated battlefield.
"Here's my spiritual message. Let's keep in touch!"
Lin Wenxuan smiled and exchanged spiritual messages with the girls before gracefully leaping from the dozens of meters high rooftop and slowly descending.
Like a falling leaf, he lightly landed behind Zhang Chen.
Lei Gang followed closely behind.
This scene once again made the girls' eyes sparkle.
Handsome, with a good job, and strong – what girl wouldn't like that?!
But speaking of these points, the girls couldn't help but look at Zhang Chen again.
This guy was also handsome, and his strength... was unsettlingly strong!
Similarly, Zhang Chen had noticed the arrival of these two long ago but pretended not to, still immersed in the joy of obtaining the Rank 4 spirit core.
"Classmate, we meet again!"
Lin Wenxuan greeted with a smile.
"Who?"
Zhang Chen once again put on a masterful act of acting, retreating several steps and nearly falling to the ground.
Facing Zhang Chen's reaction, the two exchanged a look and were very satisfied.
It wasn't that they wanted to tease Zhang Chen, but they couldn't figure out why Zhang Chen was always present whenever a Demon Spirit disappeared.
They wanted to test his strength again.
However, this time, they were not disappointed.
"Don't be nervous, it's us, from the Spiritual Power Association. We met in the alley a few days ago."
"Canyang City is also under our jurisdiction, so we're happy to meet you again!"
"Did you see who killed the Demon Spirit just now?"
Lin Wenxuan pushed up the glasses on his nose and asked with a smile.
"No... no! It was just that suddenly, the guy died. I don't even know how he died!"
"But I found this spirit core, so it should be mine, right? Just like last time, I don't have to hand it in, do I?"
Zhang Chen asked with a pretend nervous demeanor.
This time was different from the last time in the alley.
Before, it was just him, so he could make up any story. Now, with witnesses, he had to be vague and change the subject to make them lower their guard.
"Don't be nervous. If you found the spirit core, it's yours. We won't take it!"
Lin Wenxuan sized up Zhang Chen and felt that he wasn't lying. He then turned and exchanged a look with Lei Gang, communicating in a low voice:
"It's consistent with what those girls just said. This boy was suppressed for most of the fight; you can tell from his disheveled state."
"But the monster died suddenly, which means the culprit didn't show up and dealt with the monster remotely."
"However, where the spirit gathering device came from, whether it was brought by that person or someone with ulterior motives causing trouble, we still need to investigate!"
