Chapter 347: Chapter 172: A Letter of Commitment

From the figure of Professor Shen, one could tell that she must have been engaged in long-term exercise.

The tight combat suit accentuated her waist and vest lines, lending her a less scholarly but more agile and powerful appearance.

Shen Qionglin was not accustomed to wearing high heels. Her self-made tight combat suit was designed for practicality. Although the flat support shoes sacrificed a bit of aesthetics, they maximized her agility.

By the time Shen Qionglin changed and came out,

Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian were already waiting for her around the corner.

"Follow me, there’s a secret passage."

Shen Qionglin, with her goggles on and an expressionless face, led the two down a hidden pathway.

This route could lead directly to the S-level Spiritual Ability Users’ residential area of the Outer City District.

A rail line was installed in the passage with a cart-looking rail trolley parked on it. Without needing an invitation from Shen Qionglin, Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian ducked in, making it somewhat crowded.

"This is the path they left to monitor me, thinking I wouldn’t know."

Shen Qionglin pressed a few buttons, and the trolley began to accelerate evenly.

Fu Jian said, "It’s inconvenient for me to show up directly."

His mechanical body lit up, and a second later he blended into the surroundings, entering holographic invisibility.

Shen Qionglin never looked at Fu Jian.

Clearly, she was enduring some emotion that had yet to erupt.

Wang Jixuan, wearing X armor, hid in a corner without asking more questions, his Spiritual Sense locked on the female professor’s every move.

The possibility of her going to Philley to join forces was still not ruled out.

The trolley sped through the somewhat gloomy tunnel, and Shen Qionglin asked, "Did you know I was over here and come for me?"

"You were an unexpected bonus."

"Then what are you here for? This place goes deep into D3."

"Do you want the truth or lies?"

"No one likes lying."

"That’s not necessarily true," Wang Jixuan said calmly, "You are a genius... you’d definitely love to hear that."

"Thank you, I indeed am."

A hint of pride flashed in Shen Qionglin’s eyes as she continued,

"Please answer my question directly... if it’s convenient."

"The truth is, I’m conducting a final exam for my students."

"A final exam?"

"This exam is split into two parts; the other part has also entered combat, and it’s not convenient to disclose details now as it involves the resources of a large portion of the D5 Combined Combat Zone."

The trolley was about to exit the dark area and started to slow down, approaching a brightly lit area ahead.

Wang Jixuan explained simply, "There are two teams here, and their exam question is to eliminate Philley."

Squeak—

Suddenly, Shen Qionglin pulled the brake, looking through the trolley’s window at the area below, quickly calculating the routes.

She had never been here but had seen the map.

The trolley’s rails were positioned above a cluster of steel frameworks, part of the industrial area’s transportation hub with numerous single-track rails crisscrossing, with trolleys constantly shuttling materials and industrial products back and forth.

—This was the advantage of the lateral fortress; Fortress #76 could only use various elevators to transport materials.

"Follow me, it should be this way."

Shen Qionglin opened the trolley door, took a breath, and deftly jumped down to the tracks below, hooking her hand on the edge of the rail and lightly swinging to land precisely in front of another passageway.

Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian, utilizing the power of technology, easily flew over. They followed behind Shen Qionglin, one visible and the other hidden, running.

They charged forward for not more than two minutes, passed through two traffic hubs, and smoothly arrived at the outskirts of a magnificent ’palace.’

This palace, constructed from stone, occupied at least several acres of area, surrounded by a ’garden’ with various holographic projectors mimicking different landscapes.

Wang Jixuan looked around;

then thought back to the scenery inside the Inner City of the Iron Wall Castle;

the contrast was so sharp that the light here seemed somewhat glaring.

Outside the palace, a large group of fully armed soldiers and low-level spiritual power users hesitated to advance, merely watching from the perimeter.

Screams occasionally came from inside the palace, along with huge fireball explosions and various shock waves rippling through.

Spiritual Energy was boiling, and the battle inside was intensely fierce.

From inside, the loud cursing of a woman frequently emerged:

"Idiots! A bunch of idiots! Don’t let them group together!"

"Damn it! Are you saving your Spiritual Energy to flirt and hook up? Fight them!"

Ping, splash!

Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass windows, two Level C Spiritual Ability Users were hurled out, hitting the ground and convulsing continuously.

Wang Jixuan pondered slightly.

Had he underestimated the strength of the Buddhist Temple Team?

Inside, Ji Yale and Ji Xiao with their eight members were completely suppressing the injured Philley, along with a mob of ragtags.

—His wingman Maid Group was still en route, having encountered heavy firepower.

Shen Qionglin crouched behind a projected landscape, carefully observing and beginning to formulate a combat strategy.

She glanced at Wang Jixuan, unable to help furrowing her brows, pursed her lips slightly with a bit of disdain, and coldly said:

"Are you looking to be ambushed? Not using invisibility nor maintaining concealment."

Wang Jixuan pointed at the air beside him.

Fu Jian was there.

For a moment, Shen Qionglin had no rebuttal.

Fu Jian spoke up, "The Spiritual Ability City’s rapid-response team has already departed, arriving at the Iron Wall Castle in one and a half hours. Although we will intercept them with missiles midway, there’s no need to delay too long here."

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, "I’ll knock out all the ordinary people, and Professor Shen can handle these spiritual power users. Any objections?"

"Aside from your necessary declaration of allegiance, I don’t want to personally kill anyone."

"All right, just knock them out or keep them under control."

Wang Jixuan’s hands swiftly performed a Sealing, and a series of transparent cones emerged behind him.
