Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”Truly, Little Xingguang never comes out at a loss.” Huo Wen’an leaned against his wheelchair, a helpless yet doting smile playing at his lips.

”Send someone to keep an eye on her. Don’t reveal yourself unless it’s a critical moment.” Huo Wen’an had full confidence in Xu Xingguang, but he wasn’t clear about her true strength and worried she might be bullied, so he decided to send someone to protect her.

He wasn’t sure if the person he sent would come in handy, but he didn’t dare be careless, afraid that Xu Xingguang might encounter an accident.

”Okay.”

West of Tuo Ling Peak lies a stretch of undulating mountains known as the Kunze Mountain Range, a frequent subject in geography textbooks.

The Kunze Mountain Range’s terrain is complex, with towering peaks and imposing cliffs. Its depths remain unexplored by modern technology.

This is a favorite adventure destination for hikers and thrill-seekers.

The resort area on the east side of the Kunze Mountain Range is famous for its hot springs in winter and refreshing streams in summer. Wealthy individuals from the nearby Capital City love to vacation here.

Every month on the twentieth, the resort’s garage is filled with luxury cars with fake plates.

A dilapidated truck drove smoothly into the resort’s open-air parking lot, its plate also bearing a fake number.

The truck door swung open, and a long leg clad in combat boots nimbly stepped out onto the ground. When people in the shadows noticed a woman emerging from the truck, several gazes turned toward her.

It’s rare for single women to frequent such places.

Typically, only top VIP clients would bring their female companions here for entertainment.

Xu Xingguang glanced toward one of those gazes and saw a man with his face fully covered by a black mask. She quickly swept her gaze across the dim surroundings, noting that the other car owners were also wearing masks.

By contrast, Xu Xingguang, not wearing a mask, stood out conspicuously.

But she didn’t mind any of this.

Xu Xingguang closed the truck door and headed straight into a standalone restaurant at the foot of the hill within the resort.

Noticing Xu Xingguang going to the restaurant, those standing in the dim light revealed surprised expressions.

This little girl is actually going to the Underground Beast Fighting Arena.

Is she a newly joined spectator, or someone’s companion?

At the corner platform on the second floor of the restaurant, a stone door was hidden. Pushing open the stone door and walking down the steps led directly to the Underground Beast Fighting Arena.

Xu Xingguang mingled among the crowd, entering the underground garage with them and taking the shuttle bus prepared by the Arena.

The bus slowly descended along a spiraling road, driving for six or seven minutes before stopping at a stone wall constructed from rocks.

Below the stone wall were five doors: the middle three were for audience access, the left door was for transporting beasts, and the rightmost door was reserved for contestants.

After getting off the bus, the mask-wearing others went through the middle three doors.

Only Xu Xingguang broke away from the crowd, heading toward the rightmost door.

The masked people who had been watching Xu Xingguang noticed her heading for the rightmost door, and they paused, showing peculiar and excited expressions.

This little girl is actually tonight’s contestant?

She looks so frail and delicate. Can she really withstand a blow from a powerful boxer once she’s on stage?

The thought of witnessing a young girl being brutally beaten by a boxer tonight made their blood boil and spirits soar.

Looks like tonight there’s going to be a spectacle.

The guard standing under the right door noticed Xu Xingguang approaching, frowned, drew a long knife from his waist, and blocked her way. ”Little girl, this is the Gate of Life and Death. You’ve come to the wrong place.”

Xu Xingguang looked up, staring at the three large words ’Gate of Life and Death’ above the door, and calmly said, ”Sign the life and death contract, and you can pass through this door. After the fight, the Boxing King can walk out crowned; the loser is either carried out lying down or helped out crippled. Isn’t that right?”

Seeing Xu Xingguang so familiar with the rules of the Gate of Life and Death, the guard’s gaze became deep and serious. ”If you know, then why are you here?”

Xu Xingguang smiled and said, ”Of course, to sign up for the competition.”

Hearing this, the guard fell silent.

He scrutinized Xu Xingguang in front of him, saying nothing.

Tonight, Xu Xingguang was wearing a red tight-fitting vest, half-finger gloves covering her arms. Her lower body was clad in loose black casual pants, paired with a pair of cool black combat boots.
