Ben returned to his apartment.

As he was about to open the door, the neighbor across the hall suddenly opened theirs.

Ben subconsciously turned his head and saw a woman sizing him up.

This woman was probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, very beautiful, with a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes.

Most importantly, the woman had a very hot figure!

With a slender waist and long legs, her clothing looked like it might explode from her figure.

Seeing this woman, Ben was momentarily stunned.

He didn't remember having such a neighbor across the hall.

"You're Ben?"

The woman spoke first.

Her voice was very lazy, which, combined with her fiery figure, made her even more alluring.

Faced with the woman's question, Ben didn't even think and directly denied it: "Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Ben."

Suddenly appearing, a great beauty called out his name, and Ben's instinct was to be wary.

He wasn't some lust-driven idiot.

Moreover, constantly seeing Leo's fairy-like face had made him somewhat immune to most beauties.

Hearing Ben's words, the woman across the hall revealed a bright smile.

"Little brother, you're quite cautious! Not bad, keep it up!"

"Let me formally introduce myself, I come from the Zodiac Bureau. I received orders from above to protect you... This is my ID."

As the woman spoke, she flashed her ID.

Ben glanced at the contents of the ID.

Zodiac Bureau, Serpent Squad: Qin Muyin!

Below was a national emblem.

That was all the information on the card—very simple.

Ben had heard of the Zodiac Bureau. It was said to be a very mysterious department with great power, but he didn't know much else.

Seeing the national emblem on the ID, Ben was already somewhat convinced.

He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately revealed a smile: "So you're an expert from the Zodiac Bureau, my respects, my respects. I wonder what Sister Qin needs me to do?"

Qin Muyin smiled and handed Ben a small black box with a button on it.

"Usually, you don't need to do anything. Just press this alarm button when you discover someone invading your home, and I will appear in time to save you."

"Okay!"

Ben agreed readily, took the small black box, and then said, "Sister Qin, if there's nothing else, I'll go back inside."

"Okay! Go ahead!"

As soon as Qin Muyin finished speaking, Ben quickly went inside and closed the door.

Seeing this scene, Qin Muyin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and returned to her room as well.

Inside the room,

Ben placed the small black box in the drawer of the cabinet by the door.

He didn't know if this thing had any surveillance or listening functions, but in short, he definitely had to be careful at home from now on, and not say things he shouldn't.

Afterward, Ben took off his shoes and went to the computer desk.

The apartment he bought was a one-bedroom apartment, about forty square meters. It was a bit small, but it was definitely comfortable for one person to live in.

Turning on the computer, Ben began searching for "Zodiac Bureau."

There wasn't much information about the Zodiac Bureau online. He searched for a long time and could only get a general understanding.

The Zodiac Bureau only took orders from the central government. It didn't have many personnel, but it had a lot of power. As long as a transcendent committed a crime, they could handle it. It was a powerful institution with special privileges!

In addition, the Zodiac Bureau had strict requirements for recruiting personnel. It not only needed transcendent people who were politically reliable, but strength was also an important criterion. Only the strong could enter!

The Zodiac Bureau had a total of twelve squads, corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs, and each squad had different tasks.

Ben couldn't find out what specific functions they had.

This department was named after the "Zodiac," and its purpose was to protect!

To protect America!

It was rumored that the director of the Zodiac Bureau was one of the top powerhouses in America.

The higher-ups were willing to send a powerhouse from the Zodiac Bureau to protect Ben, which showed their sincerity.

But...

"Sending such a beautiful woman to protect me? Are they deliberately trying to tempt me to make mistakes?"

"Maybe as soon as I show a little bit of interest, someone will immediately go to the Henry family's side to pass on the message, causing Leo to feel estranged from me, and ultimately break us up?"

Ben thought secretly.

Although these were all his guesses, without any evidence,

he felt that Qin Muyin's appearance here had this intention.

Perhaps this wasn't the idea of the higher-ups, but someone in the middle was acting on their own initiative, wanting to tempt him to make mistakes, using a beauty trap to break up him and Leo.

It would be fine if he didn't fall for it.

It would be even better if he did!

Thinking of this, Ben revealed a disdainful smile.

Did they really think of him as a naive fool?

The next morning,

Ben arrived at school on time, ready to attend class.

This was Adore's strong request.

Yesterday, Adore sent several messages in the Class B group, requiring everyone to be there today.

Because he was going to help everyone reorganize their teams.

It seemed that the third level of the energies of human realm was a multi-person team mode...

"Ding-ling-ling—"

As soon as the class bell rang, Adore walked into the classroom.

"Good morning, students!"

Adore scanned the classroom and said with a smile, "Today we are going to talk about the content of the third level of the energies of human realm."

"In fact, there is nothing much to talk about regarding the third level of the energies of human realm, because it is an amnesiac realm!"

"The information currently available is that the content of the third level of the energies of human realm is a martial arts tournament, and it is a multi-person team mode, with a maximum of ten people in a team."

Hearing this,

The students were all surprised.

Immediately, many students raised their hands to ask questions:

"Teacher, since it is an amnesiac spirit realm, how do we know that the content of the spirit realm is a martial arts tournament?"

"Yes! Last time in the first level of the amnesiac realm, we didn't remember anything that happened in the realm at all. We went in as we were, and came out as we were."

Regarding the students' questions, Adore smiled and then gave an explanation:

"The reason we know this is because a long time ago, a team in the third level of the energies of human realm obtained an S-level mission rating for the first time, and the realm issued an announcement!"

"In the content of the announcement, there were the words 'martial arts tournament.'"

The students suddenly understood!

Adore added, "Regarding the third level of the energies of human realm, many experts speculate that it is likely a martial arts tournament between you freshmen..."

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Ben.

Including Adore, who also looked at Ben.

It wasn't because Ben was so powerful!

In fact, although Ben's image had improved in everyone's eyes because of Leo, no one still thought that he was among the first tier of "strong people" among the freshmen!

Everyone was looking at him.

It was because he had a super powerful partner: Leo!

With two consecutive SSS-level mission ratings, a full 700 spirit energy points, plus the attributes that Leo usually increased through her own training...

Leo's total attributes could definitely successfully break through 1,000 before the arrival of the third level of the energies of human realm!

That was breaking through 1,000 attributes!

Many transcendent people with ordinary talent may not be able to obtain it in their entire lives.

Leo was now officially recognized as the number one freshman!!

If the third level of the energies of human realm was really a martial arts tournament,

then wasn't Leo's strength the predetermined champion?
