However, before he could even consider his next move, a sharp alarm shattered the peace. The entire Academy City seemed to instantly enter a state of high alert, with people showing expressions of panic. Li An and Guo Yao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt and worry.

"What's going on?" Guo Yao asked nervously, her voice trembling slightly as she gripped Li An's arm tightly with both hands.

Li An frowned, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily. "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." An ominous premonition welled up in his heart. He knew that the higher-ups in Academy City had probably noticed his presence, and this sudden alarm was likely aimed at him.

Just then, a group of people in black uniforms quickly surrounded them. Their faces were masked, obscuring their expressions, but the powerful aura emanating from them sent chills down their spines. Li An's heart suddenly raced; he instinctively shielded Guo Yao behind him, his eyes filled with vigilance and wariness.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Li An asked loudly, his voice filled with anger and resentment.

The leader of the men in black looked coldly at Li An, without answering his question, and simply said, "Come with us." With that, he waved his hand, and the men in black behind him quickly approached Li An and Guo Yao.

Li An knew he was in dire straits. He looked at Guo Yao beside him, his heart filled with guilt and helplessness: "Guo Yao, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Guo Yao looked at Li An, her eyes filled with no fear or resentment, only determination and trust: "Li An, no matter what happens, I will never leave you." She held Li An's hand tightly, as if she were giving him strength.

Looking into Guo Yao's resolute eyes, Li An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He took a deep breath, preparing to fight the men in black with all his might. However, just as he was about to make his move, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Let them go!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Misaka Mikoto standing not far away, her eyes flashing with anger and her body radiating a powerful electric current. "What evil deeds are you people planning to do now?" Misaka Mikoto said coldly, her voice carrying an undeniable air of authority.

The leader of the men in black noticed Misaka Mikoto's expression change slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is an order from the higher-ups of Academy City; we are simply following orders."

Misaka Mikoto sneered, "So what if it's an order from the higher-ups? If you dare touch them, I'll make you pay." As she spoke, a powerful current gathered in her hand, preparing to launch an attack at 5.5.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's expression, the man in black knew that today's operation was likely to fail. He glared fiercely at Li An, then waved his hand: "Let's go!" With that, the group of men in black quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Watching the departing man in black, Li An finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He looked at Misaka Mikoto gratefully: "Thank you, Misaka-san."

Chapter 196 The Eve of the Tournament

Misaka Mikoto looked at Li An and nodded slightly: "No need to thank me, I just can't stand them bullying people." Her face still had a hint of arrogance, but her eyes revealed a trace of concern.

The sky over Academy City was heavy with clouds, hanging low as if it might collapse at any moment. An unusual tension permeated the streets and alleys. On the eve of the Ability User Tournament, the entire city was like a volcano about to erupt, seemingly calm on the surface but rife with undercurrents.

Li An walked the streets of Academy City, his steps seemingly light and relaxed, yet each one was carefully deliberate. He could feel countless eyes watching him from the shadows. The surveillance he received from the higher-ups of Academy City was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping him. He frowned slightly, a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand to adjust his collar, a seemingly casual movement, but actually a check to ensure that the miniature surveillance detector hidden in his collar was still functioning properly.

"Hmph, trying to spy on me? Not so easy." Li An muttered to himself, a slightly mocking smile curving his lips.

During his preparations for the competition, Li An became more cautious. He spent a lot of time each day at the training ground, improving his skills. However, recently he noticed that there were always some suspicious-looking people loitering around the training ground.

That day, as Li An finished training and was about to leave, a group of people suddenly surrounded him from all directions. The leader was a tall man with a hideous scar on his face, and his eyes revealed a fierce look.

"Kid, I heard you're going to participate in the Ability User Competition?" the scarred man said with a sneer, his voice hoarse, like sandpaper being rubbed.

Li An stopped and calmly looked at the crowd in front of him, slowly putting his hands into his pockets: "That's right, is there a problem?"

“Of course there’s a problem. We don’t want to see you at the competition.” Another thin, bony man stepped out from the crowd, his eyes gleaming with greed. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll withdraw voluntarily, otherwise…”

Li An raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips. These people were nothing more than low-level thugs bought off by certain forces. His gaze hardened as he surveyed his surroundings, quickly calculating his next move. The atmosphere instantly tensed; the air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, awaiting the onslaught of a storm.

"You think you can make me quit?" Li An's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of intimidation.

Just then, a commotion arose in the distance. Kamijou Touma, having heard some rumors about Li An, was furious. He firmly believed Li An was a bad person and needed to be taught a lesson. At that moment, he pushed through the crowd and strode up to Li An. "You're Li An?" Kamijou Touma glared at him, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Li An looked at the suddenly appearing Touma Kamijou and felt a wave of helplessness. He frowned slightly, trying to explain, "You might have misunderstood, I..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Touma Kamijou didn't give Li An a chance to speak. He suddenly threw a punch, the wind whistling as it aimed straight at Li An's face. "Today I'm going to teach you a lesson, you bad guy!"

Li An swiftly dodged to the side, his body moving like a black shadow, deftly avoiding Touma Kamijou's attack. Those around gasped in surprise, and the crowd quickly retreated to make room for the two.

Chapter 197 I Only Believe What I Hear

"Let me explain, I'm really not what you think," Li An said, dodging Touma's attacks as he tried to explain again.

"I only believe what I hear!" Touma Kamijou ignored him completely, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce, each punch imbued with his anger and sense of justice.

The two clashed back and forth in the street, the air around them buzzing as their abilities collided. The streetlights swayed violently, their lights flickering as if they might go out at any moment. Pedestrians screamed in terror and scattered in all directions, seeking safe haven.

Li An was extremely anxious. He didn't want to clash with Touma Kamijou, but he was also worried that this would affect his participation in the tournament. While dodging, he was working rapidly in his mind, using the system to analyze the principles behind Touma Kamijou's special abilities.

Suddenly, Li An's eyes lit up; he had found a weakness in Kamijou Touma's ability. Just as Kamijou Touma swung his fist again, Li An didn't dodge but quickly reached out and grabbed Kamijou Touma's wrist.

"You..." Kamijou Touma's eyes widened in surprise. He tried to break free, but found that his strength seemed to be restrained by an invisible force.

“While your abilities are formidable, they are not invincible,” Li An said calmly, his eyes revealing confidence. “You’ve been misled; I’m not a bad person.”

Touma Kamijou froze, staring at Li An, his resolve wavering. The surrounding people also fell silent, watching the scene in astonishment. The tense atmosphere from moments before had become somewhat delicate.

Just then, Misaki Shokuhou, who had been observing from the shadows, smirked coldly: "Hmph, interesting. I didn't expect this Li An to actually be quite capable." A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes as she looked at Guo Yao beside her, her dissatisfaction growing stronger. "That Guo Yao, why is she able to be with him?"

Guo Yao stood in the crowd, watching Li An confront Touma Kamijou, her heart filled with worry. Her hands were clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning white from the force: "Li An, you have to be alright."

Saten Ruiko was also standing nearby, her eyes flashing with tension and worry: "How could Touma-kun fight with Rean? This must be a misunderstanding."

Tsuchimikado Motoharu leaned against the wall by the street, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Interesting. I wonder how this farce will end." A hint of amusement shone in his eyes as he secretly observed his surroundings. As a member of the Anbu, he needed to ensure that everything was under control.

Accelerator stood atop a distant high-rise, coldly surveying the scene. His eyes were devoid of emotion, as if everything before him was irrelevant: "A battle between ants, how tedious." Yet, a flicker of curiosity arose within him about Li An, this man drawing so much attention. What was so special about him? (Qian Ma Zhao)

Misaka Mikoto stood at the other end of the street, arms crossed, her brows furrowed slightly. "What's going on? That Li An doesn't seem like a bad person." Her eyes revealed a hint of doubt as she cautiously observed her surroundings, lest something unexpected happen.

Touma Kamijou looked at Li An, his anger gradually subsiding, but his eyes were still full of suspicion: "You say I've been misled, what evidence do you have?"

Chapter 198 It really was a misunderstanding.

Li An released Touma Kamijou's wrist and took out a small electronic device from his pocket, which displayed some information: "Look, this is what I found out. Someone is deliberately spreading rumors about me in order to sabotage my participation in the competition."

Touma Kamijou took the device and carefully examined the information on it. His face gradually darkened: "How could this be..." He was filled with regret, realizing that he had been so easily manipulated.

Those around them, witnessing this scene, began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"So it really was a misunderstanding."

"This Li An is quite clever; he managed to resolve the crisis so quickly."

"Yeah, 907, it seems he's really something else."

Li An looked at everyone and sighed softly, "I hope everyone will not easily believe rumors in the future." His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but even more so, a firm determination.

Touma Kamijou walked up to Li An, head bowed, and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." His voice was full of apology.

Li An patted Touma Kamijou on the shoulder: "It's okay, as long as you understand." A smile appeared on his face.

However, just when everyone thought things had calmed down, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky. A huge beam of energy descended from the sky, shooting straight towards Li An.

Li An's expression changed drastically. He quickly pulled Touma Kamijou and the people around him to take cover. The beam of light struck the ground, instantly triggering a violent explosion, sending dust flying and flames soaring into the sky.

"What's going on?" Li An looked around warily, his mind filled with doubt.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the sky: "If you want to participate in the competition, you must get past me first." Everyone looked up and saw a mysterious figure floating in the air, emanating powerful energy fluctuations.

"It seems this is the real challenge." A hint of excitement flashed in Li An's eyes as he stretched his limbs, preparing for the new battle.

"Next match, Li An vs..." The announcement echoed throughout the massive arena of Academy City, drawing the attention of the entire audience to the center of the field.

Li An stood in the contestant preparation area, dressed in a light combat suit, the hem of his clothes fluttering gently in the breeze. He narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly nonchalant, but his mind was racing. Guo Yao, standing beside him, gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her eyes filled with worry, and whispered, "Li An, I heard that the opponent they've arranged for you this time is very strong, specially selected by the higher-ups of Academy City."

Li An's lips curled into a confident smile as he gently patted Guo Yao's head, reassuring her, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." But as he turned his head, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He knew in his heart that this competition would probably not be so simple.

The atmosphere in the arena was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring; you could hear a pin drop. The audience's eyes, like spotlights, followed Li An intently. He took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the field, each step steady and powerful, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Meanwhile, his opponent—a tall, muscular superhuman—strode in from the other end of the arena. A contemptuous sneer graced his face, as if victory was already in his grasp. He looked at Li An and sneered loudly, "You? You think you can win this competition? You're just a prop arranged by the higher-ups."

Chapter 199: The reaction was quite quick.

Li An ignored his opponent's provocation and simply stood still, calmly looking at his opponent. With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.

The opponent struck first, swiftly raising both hands and gathering a dazzling ball of energy in his palms before launching it at Li An without hesitation. The energy ball hurtled towards Li An like a cannonball, accompanied by a whistling sound. Li An's eyes narrowed, and he quickly dodged to the side. The energy ball grazed past his clothes, blasting a sizable crater in the ground behind him and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Quite quick reaction." The opponent sneered, then launched another attack. A ring of sharp energy blades suddenly appeared around his body, spinning like jagged teeth, rapidly slicing towards Li An. A hint of wariness flashed in Li An's eyes. While nimbly dodging the blades' attacks, he used the system in his mind to analyze his opponent's abilities and weaknesses.

"The attack trajectories of these blades seem random, but the intervals between each attack are almost identical, and the attack range is a circular area centered on him." Li An analyzed silently in his mind, while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Just then, his opponent seemed to realize that Li An was looking for an opening, and his attacks became even more ferocious. His hands moved in rapid succession, the number of energy blades increasing and their speed accelerating, forcing Li An to retreat steadily. The surrounding spectators held their breath in tension, some even beginning to worry for Li An.

"This guy is going to lose, right? His opponent is too strong."

"Yes, the opponents arranged by the higher-ups are definitely not simple."

The murmurs of the audience reached Li An's ears, but he remained undistracted. His gaze hardened, and in a moment of dodging an attack, he noticed a subtle flaw in his opponent—before each large-scale attack, his opponent's right hand would tremble slightly.

"Now!" Li An thought to himself. Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent was preparing to launch another attack and his right hand trembled slightly, he shot forward like an arrow. He skillfully dodged the energy blades his opponent fired and quickly closed the distance.

The opponent was clearly caught off guard by Li An's sudden counterattack, a hint of surprise on his face. But he quickly recovered, immediately conjuring an energy shield in front of him. Li An's lips curled into a sly smile. He didn't attack the shield directly, but instead, at the moment he approached it, he suddenly spun around, using the powerful centrifugal force to kick the edge of the shield.

This seemingly ordinary kick contained immense power. Under Li An's attack, the energy shield actually developed a crack. Upon seeing this, the opponent's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly increased his energy output, attempting to repair the shield. But how could Li An give him this opportunity? Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary distraction, he swiftly formed hand seals, and a powerful energy gathered in his palms.

"Try this!" Li An shouted, launching the energy ball in his hand at his opponent. The energy ball, carrying a powerful impact, crashed directly into the opponent's energy shield. With a loud bang, the energy shield shattered instantly, and the opponent was sent flying by the force, crashing heavily to the ground.

The entire audience was stunned by this sudden reversal. After a brief silence, a deafening cheer erupted.

Chapter 200: They Actually Turned the Tide and Won!

"That's incredible! He actually turned the tables and won!"

"This Li An is truly a genius!"

The cheers from the audience surged like waves, one after another. Li An stood in the center of the arena, slightly out of breath, a victorious smile on his face. He turned to look at Guo Yao in the stands, who was jumping up excitedly, tears of joy glistening in her eyes.
