Bai Pu received the documents from the [Wushan Divine Lady] and clicked to open them. Comparing them with the intelligence from the Special Service Bureau, he began analyzing the opponents he would face from the Superstar Alliance one by one.

"This guy with the code name [Hidden Snake] is quite terrifying,"

Li Ling said softly.

Hidden Snake, a Level 6 Hero Profession, an A-level wanted criminal!

Originally, mid-level Awakened individuals were usually wanted at the B-level, and at most not exceeding B+. Hidden Snake, with the status of a mid-level Awakened, reached A-level in the wanted list, which could only mean one thing.

He possesses strength comparable to an Advanced Awakened!

In the Special Service Bureau's records, there was an appended note explaining the reason.

"Hidden Snake himself is a Level 6 Hero Profession 'Phantom Dragon Fang,' flanked by two other formidable B+ level wanted criminals 'Night Wings' and 'Golden Butterfly.' Together, the trio forms a criminal gang named 'Dragon and Snake Squad!'

"Once, an A-level Special Service Officer encountered the Dragon and Snake Squad in the Wilderness Area and died in the line of duty. Therefore, Hidden Snake's wanted level was raised to A-level, and all special service officers must proceed with caution, not to confront them alone!"

Li Ling took in this remark, feeling a heavy weight in her heart.

A-level Special Service Officers, all top Advanced Awakened individuals, are rich in combat experience and hold significant advantages over mid-level Awakeneds. Yet, even experts like these fell at the hands of Hidden Snake.

Given the hatred Superstar Alliance holds for Bai Pu, they would undoubtedly deploy Hidden Snake for retribution.

Li Ling worried for Bai Pu but couldn't find a reason to dissuade him.

Bai Pu smiled and said, "It's alright, let him come."

...

Blood Spider quickly arrived at the Xicheng Branch of the Divine Strategy Army and met Bai Pu.

Though they had interacted before in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scenario, it was Bai Pu's first time seeing Blood Spider's appearance—this time, she didn't wear the black mask, probably to hide the headgear.

Her appearance was delicate, with lips slightly pursed, exuding a stubborn defiance.

His gaze shifted downward.

Blood Spider's equipment manifested as a T-shirt with a Genie Turtle print and high-waisted jeans.

From the front, it seemed the Genie Turtle was angry, its head seemed inflated.

Bai Pu finally understood why [Wushan Divine Lady]'s charisma was so grand, it turned out to be a family trait. He even wondered if the two were really only aunt and niece.

"Blood Spider, has your aunt explained the situation to you?" Bai Pu asked.

Blood Spider nodded slightly, "She told me to comply with your... reasonable requests."

"Can you reveal some detailed information about yourself?" Bai Pu requested, rubbing his hands together as he made his first request.

Blood Spider nodded lightly.

[Based on Awakened: Blood Spider's voluntary display, you acquired part of the target's information.]

[Blood Spider (Enhanced Elite Level 6)]

[Species: Humanoid Species/Human Race]

[Profession: Blood Curse Hunter]

[Attributes: Power 35, Agility 77, Endurance 39, Spirit 24]

[Professional Skills: Flesh Curse: Apply a hidden flesh curse mark on the target, lasting for (72) hours. During this period, you will sense the blurred position of the target. Attacks on the blood curse target will deal extra Dark Attribute Magic Damage.]

[Flesh Curse Level 4 Effect: Blood Curse Tracking: Activate the blood curse, and a blood-colored dotted line will appear in your vision, pointing towards the target's position. Following along the blood-colored line grants you sustained movement speed boost, up to (77) points.]

[Skill 1: High-Frequency Spin Stab Level 5: Use a high-frequency rotating blade to inflict severe piercing damage on the enemy. Level 4 Effect: Disabling: Enemies receiving moderate damage from High-Frequency Spin Stab require an Endurance check, or they'll be disabled.]

[Skill 2: Demonized Spider Silk Level 5: (Omitted)]

[Skills 3~6: Hidden]

Blood Spider hid four skills, showing only two main battle skills.

Bai Pu didn't press for her complete information, evaluating slightly and realizing Blood Spider was quite formidable among mid-level Awakened individuals, largely due to luxurious equipment.

"Are you ready?" Bai Pu asked, "We need to depart."

"I can go anytime."

After getting Blood Spider's confirmation, Bai Pu sent a notification to Crazy Zen.

Crazy Zen replied with an "OK."

Since Crazy Zen will be entering with his own team, he won't team up with Bai Pu.

While forming a team is simple, a team's overall strength rated too high would be at a disadvantage under Spirit Realm Will's balancing of the "World Great Trend," such as extended queue time and delayed entry.

The two had a mutual understanding that Crazy Zen's team would fully assist Bai Pu in eliminating interference from the Superstar Alliance, allowing Bai Pu to successfully change his profession without disturbance, a task that didn't require teaming up.

Crazy Zen also gave Bai Pu a tool for Spirit Realm communication, to use after entering the Spirit Realm.

Li Ling tugged on Bai Pu's arm: "Be... careful." Knowing her combat abilities were weak, she realized she'd only be a burden if she went along.

"Sister Ling, don't worry." Bai Pu displayed a confident smile. He then extended his hand towards Blood Spider.

Blood Spider reached out, and they shook hands.

Within Bai Pu's storage space, the Primordial Heart Tissue hidden inside the Demon General's Hunting Scythe lit up.

[You are applying to trial the second profession change mission.]

[Your special Spirit Realm Curio: Living Tissue of the Primordial Heart, has met the trial-opening standard for the second profession change mission, which will teleport you to the Flesh and Blood Plague: Distorted World. Confirm?]

Bai Pu chose to confirm.

His and Blood Spider's figures were enveloped in soft white light, gradually disappearing.

...

With the flickering light, the familiar feeling of weightlessness emerged.

Bai Pu realized the Spirit Realm teleportation this time was quite different from before.

A transparent bubble encased him and Blood Spider.

Meanwhile, multiple transparent bubbles appeared around them.

Each transparent bubble contained an Awakened.

Bai Pu spotted Crazy Zen. Next to Crazy Zen were two middle-aged Awakened, probably his teammates.

Crazy Zen smiled and signaled to Bai Pu, then made a discreet gesture with his fingers.

Bai Pu followed Crazy Zen's direction and saw, in a large bubble across from them, three Awakened stood, with the one in the center having snake-like eyes exuding a frigid aura.

Hidden Snake!

Bai Pu was alarmed. Indeed, the Superstar Alliance's strongest mid-level Awakened executor, A-level wanted criminal Hidden Snake, had also appeared in this [Flesh and Blood Plague: Distorted] world.

Bai Pu's eyes met those serpent-like eyes, feeling a chill down his spine, as if targeted by a venomous snake.

Hidden Snake pointed a finger at Bai Pu, then dragged his thumb across his throat, full of threat.

Bai Pu gave a thumbs up towards Hidden Snake, and as Hidden Snake sneered, suddenly flipped his thumb downward 180 degrees. He then stopped looking at Hidden Snake, and instead counted the number of Awakened matched together this time.

"Over forty people in total... apart from the Dragon and Snake Squad led by Hidden Snake, other blocking forces from the Superstar Alliance are also present, along with ordinary Awakened drawn in by coincidence.

"So many Awakened, all matched into one area! Is this the Spirit Realm Will's change in matching mechanism?" Bai Pu pondered silently.

He temporarily removed his [Double-Edged Sword] title. This title was enjoyable when crushing the weak, but now entering the Mid-level Spirit Realm, facing opponents suppressing his level, required a sense of respect, ensuring his survival capability.

The light shimmered, turning each transparent bubble into points of light, shooting out from this matching space and into the vast Spirit Realm.
