After all, Bo'an City, where Su Ce was born and raised, was only a small city. Rank 3 Professionals were already the pinnacle here.
Be it Boulder City next door or even the farther away Cloud Coast City, the provincial capital, the degree of development and prosperity was not something that Bo'an City could compare to.
Although Boulder City was also a small city, due to the fertile soil and abundant resources, the strength of the Professionals there was generally one grade higher than here.
Not to mention Cloud Coast City, the number of Rank 3 experts there was several times more than here.
As for the center of the entire country, the capital city, Chongye, it was said that Rank 2s were inferior to dogs, Rank 3s were everywhere, and there were even many Rank 4s.
Similarly, there were even more powerful countries outside, and it was very likely that there were Rank 5 Professionals in these places.
Thinking of this, Su Ce couldn't help becoming cautious.
The investigation of the broken barrier incident by the Rank 4 investigator, who likely came from Cloud Coast City, was very likely to involve his existence.
Therefore, he had to keep a low profile during this period of time. Not only could he not summon his dragons, but he also had to avoid using dragon-related skills to avoid getting into trouble.
While he was thinking, the follow-up scenes from the Eye of the Dragon God appeared in front of him again.
A few kilometers away, at the entrance of Leyton Academy, a huge griffin was crouching at the side.
At the same time, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was discussing the details of the investigation with Dean Huo Shan.
"Officer Zhou, it's Leyton Academy's honor to have you personally investigate this matter!" Huo Shan's old face was full of wrinkles. As he smiled and spoke, there was a trace of nervousness in his expression.
Zhou Chengtian looked at Huo Shan, who had aged a lot, and said with a serious expression, "Thank you. This time, there were two forbidden spells cast consecutively in two days in Bo'an City. With such a large commotion, even if I didn't come, my colleagues would have come to investigate."
As he spoke, the smile on his face tightened slightly. At the same time, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky not far away.
How is that possible?!
Seeing this doubtful gaze, Su Ce subconsciously cut off the perception of the Eye of the Dragon God and immediately went downstairs to a nearby street.
Walking on the street, he looked shocked.
The Eye of the Dragon God is a related skill of dragons. Logically speaking, unless the other party's strength is greater than Rank 5, it shouldn't be possible to sense my spying.
Waves surged in his heart. At this moment, his emotions were very complicated.
The atmosphere on the street was still lively. The street lights on both sides of the road had already lit up, dispelling the darkness for everyone.
As night fell, the temperature gradually dropped.
In addition to the bargaining sounds coming from various shops, he could also hear the loud discussions of the people around him.
Everything in front of him was full of hustle and bustle, exuding a happy atmosphere.
But at this moment, Su Ce had his brows tightly furrowed, and he was still thinking about the problems he would have to face in the future.
"Boss, I want two home-cooked dishes and a bowl of rice."
He walked into a shop with few customers and called out absent-mindedly. Then he immediately sat in a corner and continued to analyze.
Su Ce knew very well that if he was really targeted by the investigator named Zhou Chengtian, not only would his future development be hindered, but he might even get into even bigger trouble.
For this reason, he had already decided in his mind that he had to be very careful when summoning his dragons in the future. He couldn't let anyone discover him.
Before his strength reached the point where he could stop an army by himself, rashly revealing his wealth was definitely courting death!
Thus, he decided to conceal himself for the time being. If he solely relied on the strength of his dragons, his shortcomings would be too obvious, and he would be easily targeted.
Continuously improving his own strength was the way to go.
Although his current strength had been improved several times, if he didn't rely on the Dragon God's Summon skill, with his current MP, he could only summon a dragon at most, and it could only last for a few minutes.
It would be difficult for him to contend against a Rank 4 powerhouse.
After all, at that level, these people definitely had many trump cards.
It was definitely not a good idea to fight one of them head-on.
When Su Ce thought of this, his expression softened slightly.
Right now, his biggest goal was still to continue improving his strength. At the same time, he also needed to take into account the principle of caution.
If he wanted to break through this restriction, he had to improve his strength until he broke through to Rank 3 and could use Withering Dance, his diamond-quality staff. By then, his MP should be able to support summoning two dragons at the same time.
At that time, he wouldn't have to be afraid like he was now.
It was strength and then more strength.
Although the predicament in front of him was manifold, the problem was still on the level of insufficient strength.
Looks like I have to hurry up and become Rank 2. Su Ce clenched his fists that were hidden in his sleeves. He had already made up his mind.
After a while, two hot stir-fried dishes were served.
Su Ce hadn't eaten anything for almost an entire day. After seeing the food in front of him that looked and smelled delicious, he immediately picked up the bowl of rice and ate the meal with great enjoyment.
In less than five minutes, he devoured all the food.
He took out his remaining 30 dollars and handed it to the boss. Then he pushed the door open and left.
He planned to go to the Class Temple.
Although he couldn't advance classes immediately at his current level, it wasn't a problem for him to accept the class advancement quest in advance.
In order to gather the money to pay the deposit, Su Ce decided to sell most of the materials in his inventory at Carrie Auction House before going to the temple.
First, it was to empty his inventory to prepare for the next quest.
Second, it was to raise money to buy some related items and pay the deposit.
In the end, Su Ce spent around eight minutes negotiating the price with the salesperson and sold all the unimportant materials for 18,000 dollars.
The reason why he chose to keep some expensive materials was for his development after becoming Rank 2.
After leaving Carrie Auction House, Su Ce hurried to the Class Temple.
At this moment, the hall in the Class Temple was already empty.
Two staff members were cleaning up, and one of them, the receptionist who had served Su Ce earlier, was sorting out documents.
She didn't realize that Su Ce had already walked in.
As Su Ce approached, the young lady noticed him and said in surprise, "Huh… Why are you back? Did you forget something?"
The surrounding staff also noticed him and were a little puzzled.
"I'm sorry… Have you guys already gotten off work?" Su Ce said somewhat embarrassedly. "I didn't lose anything. I'm here to prepare for advancing to Rank 2."
The young receptionist's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Su Ce in disbelief. "What? Rank 2! Didn't you just become Rank 1 a few hours ago?
"You can't joke about this kind of thing. Those who lie about their levels and affect the order of the temple will be locked up in a cell."
