You Call This A D-Level Ability?

Haicheng, somewhere in an old bungalow.

Lian Shou stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, walked to the door, and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in."

A slightly aged voice came.

Lian Shou pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man sitting at the table, quietly sipping tea.

His face looked very old, and he was clearly only in his thirties, but he looked like he was in his forties.

His temples were gray, and his eyes had a deep look.

"Long time no see, Yin Yuan."

Lian Shou smiled lightly and said hello, and sat down directly without being polite.

"Or should I call you now, distinguished city defender, Lord [Tianyin]?"

"I can't afford to be called that by you, Lianshou." Yin Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and spoke calmly.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"I didn't expect that you could survive after being so seriously injured." Yin Yuan looked Lian Shou up and down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Mr. Ghost Doctor's wonderful rejuvenation skills saved my life." Lian Shou just responded casually, "But my current strength has dropped too much."

"I am no match for you now."

"Stop teasing me." Yin Yuan smiled bitterly, "Whether it was in the past or now, I am very different from you."

He rubbed his brows, seeming to relieve some fatigue.

"You guy..." Lian Shou seemed to notice something strange about Yin Yuan and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

"Is it possible that you haven't slept in the past three years?"

"Yes." Yin Yuan responded calmly, "Three years ago, due to my negligence, more than two hundred people died due to void beasts, but I was completely unaware of this."

"This is a major mistake on my part. It will be difficult to save those lives even if I spend my whole life."

"So you just stop yourself from resting and monitor all the energy fluctuations in the city at all times?" Lian Shou's expression became serious, "Even if you can use energy to restore your physical fatigue."

"But this consumes too much of your energy!"

"If you don't get a good rest, one day you won't be able to hold on any longer."

"This is my sin, and I should atone for it." Yin Yuan seemed unwilling to mention the matter again. He just waved his hand and forcefully changed the subject, "Why, you came to visit me specially this time. Is it because of something?" What's important?"

"This group of freshmen I brought with me came to Haicheng for assessment. Naturally, I have to report to you, the city defender, in advance."

"Hmph, you are not the kind of polite guy." Yin Yuan snorted and took a sip of tea disdainfully, "You must have other things to do this time."

"Hahaha, I really can't hide it from you!" Lian Shou laughed a few times, then his smile faded and he got to the point.

"This time we were ambushed on the way here."

"Ambush?" Yin Yuan's movements froze, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"The opponent is not a Void Demon. He knew our route in advance and used the Void Concealing Ball to release a peak-level Benghu." Lian Shou quickly told what happened on the road.

"According to my inference, the person who released Benghu is most likely from the Void Demon Council."

"And there are very few people who know that our destination is Haicheng. I suspect that someone has leaked our traces."

Boom!

Yin Yuan slammed the teacup on the table, his expression darkened, "Are you doubting me?"

"How could I doubt you?" Lian Shou calmly shook his head, "It is absolutely impossible for a city defender to betray you."

"It's just that the person who buried the props used for the assessment was your [assistant]..."

"Don't worry, it can't be theirs." Yin Yuan replied calmly, "When I ordered those assistants to bury the props you need, I didn't tell them the truth."

"And it's impossible for them to know what those spirit beads are used for."

"That is to say, if there is a spy, it can only appear in your Longxia Academy."

"Okay, it seems you think the same as me." Lian Shou shrugged and responded easily, "But I don't have a clue yet."

"So this is actually the main purpose of my coming here."

He looked directly at Yin Yuan and calmly stated his purpose: "If possible, I hope you can help me in tomorrow's assessment..."

…

Haicheng, inside a hotel.

"What's the result?" Bee Stinger quietly looked down at the night view of Haicheng through the floor-to-ceiling windows and asked without looking back.

"What else can we do? That Benghu didn't even last for fifteen minutes and died."

Ba Ding walked in from the door and shrugged his shoulders, "If I hadn't retreated quickly enough, I might have been stopped."

"I really don't understand, why are we doing this senseless thing?"

"You should know how valuable a Peak Realm Void Beast is, right?"

"Is it true that the strength of a peak-level virtual beast like this that is forcibly infused with energy is far inferior to that of a normal peak-level beast..." Bee Stinger turned his head in deep thought and muttered to himself.

She stretched her eyebrows and said calmly: "This matter is not meaningless."

"At least through this trial, we found out the specific strengths of that group of teachers and students."

"And the other purpose is what our 'helper' requested."

"He needs to go through this attack and make an assessment of what we want to capture."

"Hmph, just for such a purpose, wasting a virtual beast, the price/performance ratio is simply too low." Ba Ding snorted, showing deep disdain.

"Use your soybean-sized brain to think more, and don't always say such stupid things." Stinger scolded him coldly.

"Bi Li has already gone to the city to investigate, and the location of the boundary stone is almost clear."

"As long as you wait until noon tomorrow, the seal placed on the boundary stone will loosen and appear from the hidden space."

"That's when we can successfully recover it."

"But tomorrow, the group of students from Longxia College will also disperse in the city and start searching for some kind of assessment target."

"So before we get the boundary stone, we still have to stay as far away from them as possible."

"Then what should we do with the guy we want to capture?" Ba Ding asked.

"Don't worry, our 'helpers' will guide him to an uninhabited place as much as possible the next day."

"After we retrieve the boundary stone, we can just capture that kid and bring him to Master Ji Le."

Bee Stinger stood up, twisted his graceful figure, and walked straight into the room, "Both you and Sickness, please pay attention."

"Until the boundary stone is retrieved, no energy can be released at all."

"This city is monitored 24 hours a day by city guards."

"Once our energy is exposed, it will be discovered immediately!"

"At that time, our lives will be completely in the hands of others."

"Especially you, you must remember it for me!"
