"Then, please take me with you. Although my strength is not enough to fight against a Gold Rank powerhouse, I can still be of some help. Even I want to do my part for Azure Wind." Ji Ran looked at Professor Lawrence with sincere eyes.

"...Do your part for Azure Wind? I'm afraid you just want to see the spectacle... One misstep, and you'll die, do you understand?" Professor Lawrence looked at Ji Ran, his expression turning somewhat serious.

"Caught me... But as the saying goes, no rain, no rainbow. If one never experiences grand scenes in life, no matter how skilled one's swordsmanship is, it's impossible to reach the highest realm!" In a hurry, Ji Ran turned the lyrics that came to his mind into a fabricated proverb.

Lawrence gazed at Ji Ran for a while before laughing.

"Since you have this heart, then come along. Let's make it clear, if a fight really breaks out, I might not have the time to take care of you. You have to hide yourself well. Although the path to growth is full of storms, if you die, all the tempering will be for nothing."

Ji Ran nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I'll definitely hide well! I'm still so young, how could I easily give up a good future?"

Seeing the agreement, Anya couldn't stay still.

"Grandpa, I want to go too!"

Lawrence turned to look at Anya, reached out, and patted her head: "I knew you wouldn't give up this opportunity. My requirements for you are the same as for Ji Ran—your life comes first! I don't want my granddaughter to be a coward who retreats at the first sign of trouble, but I also don't want to lose my most precious granddaughter!"

Anya nodded excitedly: "I'm already at the Silver Rank, better than Ji Ran! If he can be fine, I will be too!"

Lawrence smiled and shook his head again: "That's not certain... Ji Ran's strength might be a bit stronger than you think..."

As he spoke, he gave Ji Ran a meaningful look.

Ji Ran remained calm. How about it, your granddaughter can challenge higher ranks, but I can't? I have a Gold Rank sword technique, after all...

The three of them walked out of the house, and Lawrence stopped.

"I'll go ahead first. Be careful. If the fighting starts, you'd better hide far away. A Gold Rank battle is much more terrifying than you can imagine... Oh, and Ji Ran, your proverb is quite interesting, though I've never heard it before."

After saying that, Lawrence took a step toward the Tower of Wisdom and instantly blended into the night, disappearing.

Ji Ran couldn't help but be amazed. The means of a Gold Rank powerhouse are indeed beyond what I can compare to... At least I didn't see Lawrence's move just now.

"Let's go, Ji Ran!" Anya, more excited than Ji Ran, ran toward the Tower of Wisdom first. Ji Ran looked at her back, shook his head, sighed, and followed.

I should be fine protecting myself, but this Anya is really worrying...

At the same time, the True God Sect had already reached the base of the Tower of Wisdom.

This time, the True God Sect's infiltration into Azure Wind was not just one team. To ensure secrecy, they were divided into three small teams, entering Azure Wind through different channels—of course, with the help provided by Alexander.

For example, using a few tricks to redirect the patrol teams to other directions was a simple convenience. And he did this without exposing himself, making it easy and effortless.

Additionally, providing the map of the Tower of Wisdom was Alexander's task. What was almost impossible for others was relatively simple for Alexander, which is why he agreed.

Of course, Alexander's responsibilities were not limited to these. But those were not what he needed to do now.

"Mallo, why are two people missing from your team?"

"Damn it, we encountered an Azure Wind student halfway. I sent them to deal with it, and I don't know why they haven't returned!"

"Nothing happened, right?"

"It's fine, sacrificing for our god is their honor. We have successfully arrived here, and no one can stop us from obtaining our god's glory!"

"Alright, let's start!" The three teams converged and arrived at the entrance of the Tower of Wisdom.

"Who are you!" The Tower of Wisdom is the center of Azure Wind, hiding the most critical secrets of Azure Wind. It couldn't possibly be left without a guard. Although the guard force was somewhat weak today due to special circumstances, it wouldn't be abandoned.

"Patrol team! We heard that outsiders have infiltrated Azure Wind, so we came to check if there's anything unusual at the Tower of Wisdom."

A person in patrol team uniform stepped forward.

The two guards walked up, puzzled: "Patrol team? The patrol team usually doesn't handle the situation at the Tower of Wisdom..."

"Today is a special situation. Someone told us..." The True God Sect member in patrol team uniform stepped forward, lowering his voice as if to share a secret. The two guards, not suspecting anything, moved closer to listen.

"...You will be the sacrifices of the True God, merging with the True God!" The person suddenly spread his arms, and two light orbs enveloped the bodies of the two guards. The two guards, both above level five, were horrified to find they couldn't move at all, not even make a sound!

The other two people immediately rushed forward, each delivering a fatal blow with a single sword strike.

"Dealt with, let's move forward!"

Looking at the door of the Tower of Wisdom, Mallo, the True God Sect member, didn't even glance at the dead guards and stepped forward.

He pushed the door, and a beam of light flashed across it. Even with Mallo's strength, which could control two level five guards instantly, he was forced to take a step back by the light.

"Truly worthy of the Tower of Wisdom, such strong defenses! Morse, it's up to you!"

He stepped aside, letting the other team of True God Sect members move forward.

Several True God Sect members gently placed their hands on the door, their palms glowing with strange light. Another member, who seemed to be the leader, closed his eyes and, after a moment of silence, spoke: "I need about ten minutes!"

"Ten minutes with such detailed information? Fine, hurry up!" Mallo seemed somewhat impatient.

"Hmph, that guy is just a swordsman, not a mage. How much research could he have done on the magic array defense system? Getting that information was already quite good! The defense system of the Tower of Wisdom is incredibly powerful. Without that information, it would take us at least ten times longer!"

Morse, the True God Sect member, snorted and glanced at Mallo.

"I don't care about that. That item is specifically requested by the True God, which can greatly assist the True God's descent. The shorter the time you take, the greater your contribution to the True God!"

"I don't need you to tell me. My faith in the True God is no less than yours! Stop distracting us, let's get to work!"

Morse and his team immediately got to work, busy up and down.

Various lights flickered in their hands, causing different reactions on the defensive barrier of the Tower of Wisdom's door. Occasionally, someone would be repelled and fall to the ground. However, they didn't seem to suffer serious injuries, and the decryption work proceeded in an orderly manner.

"Hurry up! The Azure Wind people might react at any time! We need to get that item and leave as soon as possible!"

"Damn, stop rushing us! If your team hadn't lost two people, we wouldn't be in such a hurry. We had Deputy Dean Galante trapped in that lab. If it weren't for your mistake, everything would have been foolproof!"

"Are you kidding? How could the defense system of the Tower of Wisdom not have an alarm? The Azure Wind people will definitely come, it's just a matter of time!"

"Fine, I won't argue with you... Damn, this encryption system is so complex..." Morse attached a strange device to the door of the Tower of Wisdom, and a buzzing sound continuously came from the door. As Morse operated, the defensive barrier on the door kept flashing.

"Be careful, the alarm has been triggered. We don't have much time left!" Mallo looked at Morse, frowning.

"Don't worry, with my alchemy skills, it won't take long..." Morse focused intently on the door, his hands moving quickly.

"Sorry, uninvited guests. I think it's not a good habit to intrude on someone's private place without permission, right?"

Suddenly, a voice came from above the crowd.

Morse was startled and looked up to see a dazzling sword light descending from above with overwhelming force!

"Get out of the way!" Morse immediately kicked off and jumped down from the steps in front of the door. Two True God Sect members who didn't have time to leave were enveloped by the sword aura, which was about two to three meters wide. With a loud boom, they were thrown out like rag dolls!

It was clear that those two True God Sect members had already met their end.

The sword light disappeared, and a figure, not particularly tall but imposing due to its aura, appeared in front of the Tower of Wisdom.

"Although I'm a bit late in saying this, welcome to Azure Wind, members of the True God Sect." Professor Lawrence held a longsword, looking at the two dozen or so people in front of him with a smile.

"'Fury of the Wind' Sigmund Lawrence? A Gold Rank swordsman, I didn't expect you to be the first to arrive here..." Mallo looked at Professor Lawrence, his pupils constricting.

"Surprised that someone still remembers my old title, I'm flattered. However, the True God Sect has never had any conflicts with Azure Wind. Sneaking in here and killing two guards is not a very proper way to act, don't you think?"

Professor Lawrence tightened his grip on the longsword, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
