Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

As soon as the imposing man came out, many who were still lining up recognized him.

"Isn't he Qin Xiaobo, the expert fighter who brought glory to Lumora City?"

"Why did Qin Xiaobo come out? That woman's in deep trouble now."

"Heh, her blatant poaching finally irritated the authorities. Who told her to flash a pretty face?"

"Aren't you just jealous because no one admires your look despite being a woman?"

"Shut up! Do you want to taste my fist?"

While the crowd in the line began gossiping about the upcoming fate of Veronica, she, on the other hand, remained composed.

She completely ignored and disregarded Qin Xiaobo's words and presence.

Instead, she focused on explaining the guild to another depressed fighter.

"It's fine being rejected in the competition, our guild will gladly nurture you better. Your skill is better off being put to use in the Divine World and shining under our guild's banner."

The depressed fighter nodded their head unconsciously. It would be a lie to say he wasn't gleeful to hear that kind of motivational speech from a beautiful woman.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaobo's brows wrinkled from anger. Not only were his words ignored, but he was completely sidelined by Veronica.

'How dare she act like this! Just which city dares to pull such a stunt against us?' He cursed silently, having believed Veronica was a rival from another city, who came here to demoralize their fighters.

He tried to exude a bit of his Energy Force to intimidate and stop Veronica.

However, right when the pressure was about to hit, Qin Xiaobo was startled that someone suddenly intervened and nullified his Energy Force.

"Jeez, you would have thought some people have manners, but to think they will try to bully others with their tough build." Xu Feng, who had been blending in the background, stepped out and intervened.

The Energy Force that Qin Xiaobo exuded might not be enough to harm Veronica, but that didn't mean he was just going to sit back and let others harm his people. Not to mention, Carmen might blame him for allowing her friend to be injured when he was present.

Veronica was definitely entrusted by Carmen to come all the way here to assist him. Therefore, even if Carmen wouldn't blame him, he would have blamed himself.

He had already allowed Carmen to die an unjustified death in the Divine World. It was a good thing that it was the Divine World, but what if it was in the real world?

It was no surprising thing for people to start targeting the player's real-life world to effectively eliminate them. They might be strong in the Divine World, but in the real world, they were just feeble mortals.

While the scene was shocking, Qin Xiaobo finally came to his senses.

"Who are you?" Qin Xiaobo's eyes narrowed, his wariness raised to the top. 'A greenhorn brat was able to dispel my Energy Force with such ease. Just which city had trained him?'

"Who am I?" Xu Feng mused and shrugged. "Just a passerby who couldn't handle seeing a big man like you bullying a fragile woman. And to think you were revered as the fighter who brought honor to Lumora City. In the end, it's still just a bastard who viewed others as ants."

"..."

The atmosphere turned grim, with many people in the line holding their breath. Qin Xiaobo's fame was widely known to them. So for an unknown person to come out of nowhere and insult him on the spot was extremely shocking.

However, what was more alarming was the fact that Qin Xiaobao remained still. There didn't seem to be any intention as of yet to make a move.

'He can act this calm and collected. There's no aura leaking or Energy Force dwelling in his body. How could this be possible?' Qin Xiaobo was secretly horrified. He had a feeling that the opponent was an expert superior to him.

Without certainty, Qin Xiaobo didn't dare to make any impulsive move.

Qin Xiaobo exhaled softly and explained, "This is the inspection site to recruit talented fighters of Lumora City for the upcoming city competition. What this woman did was openly breaking the unspoken rule and disrupting our signup."

"What the— Qin Xiaobo is actually explaining?"

"Could that youngster have some background?"

"That had to be it. Just look at how Qin Xiaobo's Energy Force was nullified. Even we would have sustained some damage."

Despite their low muttering, Qin Xiaobo could easily hear them.

He wouldn't do much to them for the moment, but he already kept those who opened their mouths in his mind. Blabbermouths like them did not qualify to participate in the city competition. The only exception was if the blabbermouth was skillful and could prove their worth.

At the moment, the participant signup was the most important task here. Therefore, Qin Xiaobo didn't wish to provoke a fight and disrupt the event.

With all eyes now on Xu Feng, he subsequently clasped his hands and chuckled. "Do correct me if I'm wrong. How is she disrupting the signup event?"

"What? Are you being serious right now?" Astonished, Qin Xiaobo's eyes flared up and shouted, "She's here openly poaching fighters in front of our inspection site. I've received multiple complaints as well by the fighters who claimed their mental and physical state wasn't ideal because of her disruption."

Realization quickly dawned upon Xu Feng. No wonder why Qin Xiaobo personally made his way here to try to chase Veronica off.

After all, it was clear that Veronica wasn't recruiting for the city competition, but because of her presence.

The fighters who were disqualified and unable to participate used her as an excuse for their failure. In other words, Veronica was being a scapegoat to the losers and Qin Xiaobo resorted to chasing her away to stop the trash from making excuses.

And what better way to do so than to outright use his Energy Force to intimidate Veronica, even if it meant harming her slightly?

"I understand the gist of the situation." Xu Feng nodded but then smirked coldly. "That doesn't mean you can just target her. If so, then how would you feel if I suddenly had a bad day and decided to target your mom?"
