Chapter 176: Chapter 125: Crushing the Awakened Squad

Zhao Chuan shouted to the two people not far away.

Hearing him, the two quickly walked over.

"You all know Gu Qing, so I don’t need to make an introduction."

Zhao Chuan looked down at the two and introduced Xia Shuran, who stood beside him. "This is Xia Shuran. She’s Gu Qing’s junior, and it was Gu Qing who recommended her to join our Night Court and become a member of our Awakened Squad."

"She only became an Extraordinary Awakened last week, so her Biological Level isn’t high right now—only Tier Four."

"However, the Extraordinary Origin content in her body is as high as ten percent, which is double yours. You’ll have to train twice as hard from now on, or I’m afraid she’ll surpass you very quickly."

"As for her Superpower..."

At this point, Zhao Chuan turned to Xia Shuran beside him and said with a smile, "Shuran, come on and show everyone your Superpower."

"Okay."

Xia Shuran responded softly.

The next second, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and a dense Qi Blood Power surged from her body.

As soon as this Qi Blood Power appeared, it immediately flowed behind her, rapidly converging and taking shape.

In just a brief moment, it condensed into a massive phantom surrounded by weapons like sabers, swords, long spears, and crossbows. Its face and figure were identical to hers, but its body was several times larger.

The moment the phantom took form, the surrounding temperature skyrocketed. A scorching airflow swept through the entire area, and the air visibly distorted and shimmered with heat.

The nearby Wu Jiahao and Liu Yue were instantly so hot they were drenched in sweat, their breaths burning.

But no matter how hot their bodies became or how much sweat poured out, the two of them remained motionless, completely frozen in place, their faces etched with shock and disbelief.

’Didn’t she just awaken last week?!’

’Isn’t she only Tier Four?!’

’What the hell is this terrifying pressure?!’

At this moment, Wu Jiahao and Liu Yue were utterly stunned, both gawking in astonishment.

The Martial Soul that Xia Shuran displayed somewhat shattered their understanding of Superpowers.

Even Zhao Chuan, their instructor, felt a little shaken.

He only knew that Xia Shuran’s Superpower was to manifest a phantom behind her.

That’s what he had seen in the recording of her comprehensive test.

When he watched it on a phone screen, he wasn’t particularly impressed by the phantom; he thought it was just okay.

It wasn’t until this moment, standing here in person and facing this massive, crimson phantom up close, feeling the terrifying heatwave radiating from it, that he realized how ridiculous his earlier underestimation had been.

This young woman’s Superpower—

Is strong!

Very strong!

Unprecedentedly strong!

As long as she can develop steadily, she is destined to become a powerhouse in her own right!

At the very least, she’ll become a Steward of the Night Court!

And a Steward is a powerful existence, ranking above a Captain—one of the true top-tier combatants in the Night Court.

Zhao Chuan calmed himself slightly and said to Xia Shuran with a composed expression, "That’s enough. You can put your Superpower away now."

Hearing this, Xia Shuran immediately retracted the Martial Soul floating behind her, not waiting even a second longer.

’The drain from releasing my Martial Soul is just too great. Every extra second is torture.’

"What’s this Superpower of yours called?"

Zhao Chuan asked curiously.

Xia Shuran answered, "Martial Soul."

"Martial Soul?"

Zhao Chuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you a martial artist?"

Xia Shuran nodded. "My family has run martial arts schools for generations. I’ve been training since I was a child."

Zhao Chuan clicked his tongue in admiration. "You have a bright future ahead of you."

The words had barely left his mouth

when a clear cell phone ringtone suddenly went off:

"Hey girl across the way, look over here, look over here, look over here! The show over here is wonderful, please don’t pretend you don’t care..."

It was the phone in Zhao Chuan’s pocket.

Zhao Chuan unhurriedly took out his phone and said to the three people in front of him, "I’m going to take this call. You all get to know each other."

After speaking, he walked to the side to answer the call. It was unclear who he was talking to, but his expression looked quite solemn.

Seeing that the instructor had left,

Wu Jiahao wiped the sweat from his face and composed his expression to make himself look cool and aloof.

He then looked at Xia Shuran and said in a deliberately deep voice, "Hello, my name is Wu Jiahao. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello."

Xia Shuran replied politely.

Wu Jiahao continued to hit on her, "You’re quite pretty. You’re qualified to be my WeChat friend. Let’s add each other."

"Uh... my phone is dead."

Xia Shuran had no desire to add such a show-off as a friend.

Even if this Wu Jiahao wasn’t a show-off, she still wouldn’t want to add him.

She only had eyes for Gu Qing; unless it was for work or some other special, unavoidable circumstance, she would never add another man as a friend.

"Your phone’s dead?"

Wu Jiahao showed a regretful smile. "Then you’re a bit unlucky today, missing the opportunity to add me on WeChat. But you don’t need to be sad, because I’ll give you another chance to add me in the future."

"Uh, haha..."

Xia Shuran was speechless, managing an awkward yet polite smile.

Wu Jiahao’s smile vanished. His gaze fell upon Xia Shuran’s pretty face, and he seemed to drift into a memory:

"You know?"

"Back when I was in middle school, there was a girl as pretty as you."

"A lot of boys at school liked her, and to win her favor, they arranged a group fight behind the school."

"There weren’t that many people in the fight, just over a hundred or so."

"The girl said she would be the girlfriend of whoever won."

"I didn’t like the girl, but I love the feeling of crushing others beneath my feet."

"So I joined the fight. In a state of extreme rage, I single-handedly beat down over a hundred opponents and was the last one standing."
