"So, what's your suggestion?" Jiang Kai looked at Jiang Fang.

"Don't participate!" Jiang Fang said with certainty.

Lu Jun added, "Jiang Kai, General Wei actually thinks highly of you. He specifically arranged for the Tier 2 Nine Tribulations Chasing Death to be a reward in the Tier 2 team competition, but he doesn't know about the Black Tortoise Guild's little tricks."

"Personally, I think, since Jiang Fang says so, maybe you should listen."

Jiang Kai didn't answer. He had another concern: if he died in battle, the punishment would be severe!

Moreover, his team's strength was far from reaching Tier 2's top level, and they weren't even fully staffed!

Was it worth taking such a big risk for the Tier 2 Nine Tribulations Chasing Death?

As they spoke, a Great Wall bus quickly approached from afar... Jiang Kai snapped back to reality and saw the words "Bus No. 56, Central North District" written on the bus. He quickly composed himself.

"My sister's school bus is here."

Jiang Kai eagerly anticipated seeing Ying's happy face, waiting expectantly.

But the bus seemed to be moving faster than he imagined...

"Why is the bus going so fast? Can't the school bus pay attention to student safety?"

Through the front windshield, he could see the bus driver excitedly waving in their direction.

"I've heard of driving sports cars with one hand, but this guy is driving a school bus with one hand... I'll have to report this to their school later," Jiang Kai muttered.

Even stranger, the bus didn't slow down as it approached the stop!

At that moment, Jiang Fang suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! Black God!"

Jiang Kai didn't know what was happening when suddenly the front tire of the bus made a loud noise, and with a bang, it burst.

The massive bus body tilted sharply to one side, and at high speed, it looked like a serious accident was about to occur.

Xiao Hei moved faster than Jiang Fang, flashing to the side of the bus. He supported the tilting bus with one hand and grabbed the window with the other, moving with the bus, his feet scraping the ground.

Xiao Hei exerted a powerful force, his right arm muscles bulging, and forcibly righted the bus.

Jiang Fang also arrived, supporting the front of the bus with both hands, leaning forward, his feet firmly gripping the ground.

With the combined efforts of the two War Gods, the bus finally came to a stable stop after sliding seven or eight meters.

Seeing this, Jiang Kai and the others quickly rushed to the bus.

The door opened, and he found Ying.

"Brother..." Ying, with a bruise on her forehead, was still in shock. As soon as she saw Jiang Kai, she rushed over, "Brother, why are you here... I thought I was going to die just now..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Jiang Kai gently patted Ying's head, comforting her, "Let's get off the bus first."

...

Jiang Kai and Ying sat on the edge of a flower bed by the roadside, the scene surrounded by a large number of police officers, and many parents hurriedly arrived to pick up their children.

Before long, Lu Jun and Xiao Hei came over.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"After checking, the driver said the brakes suddenly failed, but we found no problem with the brakes. The driver didn't seem to be lying; he wouldn't be stupid enough to harm himself first... It's possible someone influenced his mind," Lu Jun said.

"Influenced his mind?" Jiang Kai was puzzled, "How could something so mysterious happen?"

Lu Jun looked at Jiang Kai, hesitated, and said, "I can only say, if there are people like Xiao Hei and Jiang Fang, why can't there be someone who can influence others' minds?"

"Are you saying it's a Transcendent professional? But what kind of profession has that ability?" Jiang Kai was even more confused.

Influencing others' minds was obviously not a combat profession's ability. But if such experts existed in the War God Temple, why didn't the military and major forces focus on cultivating corresponding professions?

"There are some things you don't need to know now. Just trust my judgment," Lu Jun said, half-concealing, but clearly telling Jiang Kai not to ask further.

Before long, Jiang Fang also came over.

"The tire was tampered with, a micro-bomb was planted, definitely man-made."

Lu Jun suddenly looked at Jiang Fang and said meaningfully, "This kind of micro-bomb seems to be a product of Black Tortoise Military Engineering... The method also seems familiar!"

Jiang Fang nodded, "Huang Da was once arrested for attempted murder, but someone confessed, and he was released. That time, a very similar method was used, influencing the driver's mind and planting a micro-bomb in the tire!"

"Huang Da!" Jiang Kai's eyes widened, and even Jiang Ying, Lu Jun, and the others were startled by Jiang Kai's expression!

With solid evidence, no more proof was needed.

Last time Huang Da almost killed him, Jiang Kai might have endured it, but this time, he dared to target Jiang Ying!

A dragon has its reverse scale, and for Jiang Kai, his brother and Ying were his greatest reverse scale!

"Jiang Kai, don't rush into this matter. I've already asked the police to investigate and gather evidence. Don't act impulsively," Lu Jun quickly advised.

Jiang Kai squinted slightly, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his anger.

He didn't want Ying to see him like this.

"I understand."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Kai said, "By the way, weren't we going to eat? Ying, don't think too much, let's go eat together first."

...

At the Tasty Home-style Restaurant, Jiang Kai and his group of five found a place to sit.

The waiter held a small notebook, facing them to take their order, but his eyes were fixed on the badge on Xiao Hei's chest.

"Wh-what would you like to eat, honored War Gods, I mean, guests?"

Lu Jun ordered a few dishes, and the waiter hurriedly ran off. Soon, they heard him shouting from afar, "Chef, something big happened! War Gods are at our restaurant!"

Ying's eyes occasionally glanced at the badges on Xiao Hei and Lu Jun's chests.

The common people knew what those words represented.

They were humanity's hope, heroes against the Beast God, and at the same time, beings beyond ordinary people!

Just a moment ago, she had witnessed the terrifying power of Transcendent professionals!

Simply put, War Gods were not ordinary people!

"You're Jiang Ying, right?" Jiang Fang smiled and said, "I'm Jiang Fang. I don't know if your brother would agree, but Jiang Kai, can we consider ourselves friends?"

Jiang Kai reluctantly nodded, "Just acquaintances."

Ying's eyes widened.

What kind of attitude was that! A War God wanted to be friends with him, and he seemed unwilling?

What exactly did he do on Ghost Star!

Jiang Fang wasn't angry at all and continued, "Acquaintances... well, that's fine, considering we just met. But we're still friends, Ying, you can call me Brother Jiang from now on."

"Brother Jiang..." Ying called out somewhat shyly.

"Great, if it's convenient, leave a phone number. If there's anything, as long as I'm not on the Beast God Battlefield or Ghost Star, you can find me."

Jiang Kai looked displeased, "Hey, my sister is still young, you're not trying to hit on her, are you!"

Xiao Hei almost spat out his tea.

Lu Jun laughed, "Kai, Jiang Fang is married, his daughter is already in elementary school."

Jiang Fang laughed heartily, "Jiang Kai, I know your situation. As a friend, I'll help where I can. As for hitting on your sister... I think Ying is much smarter than you. After such a big incident, she calmed down quickly. She's not that easy to deceive."

Ying was definitely Jiang Kai's pride, taking care of her brother while excelling in her studies, ranking top even after changing schools. She certainly wasn't a foolish girl.

"Ying, this is Black God. You can call him Brother Hei," Jiang Fang continued introducing, "If there's an emergency and I'm not around, find him. I'll give you Black God's phone number too!"

Xiao Hei frowned, his phone number being given out just like that?

Would Jiang Kai suspect him of having ulterior motives?

"Brother Hei..." Ying politely called out.

"He's calling you!" Jiang Fang impatiently nudged Xiao Hei's shoulder, "She calls me Brother Jiang, so she's my sister too. What, not giving face?"

Xiao Hei sighed helplessly, "Alright..."

This time, Jiang Kai didn't refuse. He trusted the people around General Wei, believing their character was not an issue.

It seemed Jiang Fang genuinely wanted to help him, even introducing his sister to Black God.

On Permafrost Island, Jiang Fang had once urged Jiang Kai and the others to run, and had been captured by tentacles in anger to slay the merman lord.

When Jiang Kai helped kill the merman lord, he hadn't expected the Black Tortoise Guild to repay him, but Jiang Fang was someone who knew gratitude.

People who understood gratitude generally had good character.

This guy seemed like a friend worth making...

The food at the home-style restaurant was quite good. Once the dishes arrived, they were quickly devoured.

"Waiter, please bring three more bowls of rice! Oh, and add a braised eggplant," Xiao Hei ordered without hesitation, his appetite impressive, something Jiang Kai had experienced before.

The waiter hurried over, still marveling as he left, "Wow, as expected of War Gods, even their appetite is extraordinary!"

At that moment, Jiang Kai suddenly spoke.

"Lu Jun, how are Zhu and Nuan Nuan doing in your military?"

Lu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Last time they went out for training with the Tiger Squad, and their performance was evaluated."

"Nuan Nuan is rated A, very good, but Zhu... one of his skills is to unleash potential, but in actual combat, he struggles to tap into it. Plus, he's too timid, his first reaction in danger is to run, so... his final rating is E."

Jiang Kai frowned, "What does the rating represent?"

"It represents the level of future training. But Li Biao... oh, their captain personally filed a report, requesting a reevaluation. He personally thinks highly of Zhu."

Jiang Kai put down his chopsticks, leaning back in his chair, frowning deeply.

"What's the highest rating you have?"

"Triple S, followed by double S, single S, then A, B, C, and so on."

"Nuan Nuan only got an A? Zhu even got an E?" Jiang Kai shook his head, "Lu Jun, I can confidently tell you, that's definitely not their true strength!"

In the Newcomer Trial, if it weren't for those two, Jiang Kai wouldn't have made it out alone!

"There's nothing we can do. The ratings are based on data-supported indicators. Li Biao values Yuan Zhu and Nuan Nuan, but even he can't alter the data, so they ended up with those ratings."

Jiang Kai pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Lend me those two people, and in the guild challenge, reevaluate them!"
