Hehe, I Can't Beat You

Mid-Candle Realm Little Hottie, being able to fully control her power, might still need another two or three days.

This speed is already considered fast.

After unlocking the gene lock, it's like being born with a powerful physique, but she struggles to adapt to that strength. How to control the force and intensity of her power requires guidance from others or self-exploration.

During these two days of training, Su Ze observed a strange phenomenon, though subtle, it did indeed occur.

A fleeting crimson iris, a vague, eerie black energy, and some physical mutations.

Little Hottie exhibited some characteristics of the Ghost Clan when using her energy.

Su Ze checked relevant information on the Forerunner website, which explained:

Ghost Clan: When fighting, they enter a state of ghost transformation, experiencing a comprehensive enhancement of physical abilities, body mutations, and the growth of horns on their foreheads. Their energy transforms into malevolent qi.

During the Blood Moon period, they are forced into ghost transformation. The Blood Moon mistakenly recognizes them as its released ghost creatures and attempts to control them.

The moonlight enhances them, but its control also has a disrupting effect on the Ghost Clan's mind, making them restless.

The information was provided by a Ghost Clan member from another realm, and Su Ze initially wanted to chat with her, but she was anonymous.

When Su Ze glanced at the organization she belonged to, he raised an eyebrow, "Holy crap? Ghost Officer?"

Su Ze immediately abandoned the idea of using his privileges to ask his superiors for her contact information. How many Ghost Officers are normal people?

If you get involved with them, they might answer one question and then demand tens of thousands from you. If you don't give it to them, they'll come after you through the internet. Who can handle that?

This has happened before, which is why Ghost Officers are despised by other organizations.

But it's undeniable that they are the backbone of China. Without them, China would have been wiped out by the few worlds they are currently guarding.

However, generation after generation of Ghost Officers have thrown themselves into those worlds, killing the enemy until they were terrified, achieving a deterrent effect, which is why organizations like Forerunner and Night Watcher could rise.

While there is respect for them, their actions are also truly despised.

And not every Ghost Officer is that unscrupulous. Take Mo Ziang, for example, although he's a bit sick, he's quite good to his fellow citizens.

Of course, it's only limited to fellow citizens.

Glancing out the window, the sun was shining, and the flowers were... ahem.

The once bustling streets were now as desolate as a wilderness.

He was no longer in the capital; the entire faculty and students of Huaxia University had arrived in An Yang a day ago.

This was a second-tier city, and their mission was to defend against the Qiongnu attacking An Yang.

With the strength of over ten thousand teachers and students, they could only protect An Yang.

The realms are divided into: Firefly Realm, Candle Realm, Lamp Realm, and Rolling Flame Realm.

Among these ten thousand students and teachers, more than five thousand were only at the Firefly Realm.

The Firefly Realm is the lowest realm, which doesn't mean the threshold of Huaxia University is low. Rather, out of several hundred people, it's rare for even one to unlock the gene lock.

Like Su Ze and Meng Xingyao, they are top-tier geniuses, and many teachers can't compare to them.

Once you reach the Lamp Realm, you've basically stepped into the upper echelons of the world's power pyramid, with the pinnacle being the Rolling Flame Realm.

The gap between each realm is not something that can be bridged by mere effort.

"I'm hungry," Little Hottie sat up and said, her pretty face full of cuteness and adorableness, her wide witch's robe covering her beautifully curved body.

Su Ze covered his face. It's only when you're hungry that you bother to speak, huh?

After making dinner and waiting for Little Hottie to finish eating, Su Ze took her downstairs for a walk to aid digestion.

Su Ze was smoking, clicking his broken lighter, which only produced sparks but no fire.

Whoosh!

"Holy crap!"

A blazing flame was suddenly presented to him. Su Ze quickly looked up and touched his eyebrows.

Fortunately, they weren't burned off.

Su Ze glared at the woman in front of him, who had turned the lighter's valve to the maximum to light his cigarette.

"What a coincidence, remember me?" The woman smiled, closed the lighter, and tucked it into her pocket.

Su Ze looked at the girl in front of him, her bright eyes and white teeth, wearing a pleated skirt. He seemed to have some impression but wasn't sure, so he asked, "Are you... Three-Wan?"

"...... You're the one who wanted three-wan, okay!" Situ Jiajia bared her teeth.

"I didn't ask for it," Su Ze shrugged.

"And I didn't give it!" Situ Jiajia gritted her teeth.

"There's a kid here, can we not bring up the past?" Su Ze chose to compromise.

"Wow, wow, you also know she's a kid?" Situ Jiajia sneered, but inside she was roaring, "You know she's a kid, and yet you're so easy to trick! Don't you know the difference between having one more or one less Rolling Flame Realm in China?" If you kidnap her daughter, Luo Cha will never show any mercy again, do you get it?

Situ Jiajia certainly couldn't tell Su Ze about this so easily, because she knew that Luo Cha was so confident that Situ Jiayang wouldn't use other channels to secretly inform Su Ze about this, because they had some kind of secret technique that could roughly deduce the process of a certain event.

Given Uesugi Akizuki's haughty personality, if they did that, she would definitely take Uesugi Akizuki away.

Uesugi Akizuki is a Rolling Flame Realm powerhouse. There are fewer than ten Rolling Flame Realm powerhouses in China. A Rolling Flame Realm powerhouse can almost protect an entire city on their own.

However, given Uesugi Akizuki's current condescending attitude towards China, China has long had countermeasures, just waiting for the disaster to pass... but that's another story.

The people of a city, that's tens of millions.

At this time, China wouldn't think about antagonizing Uesugi Akizuki, because China is currently surrounded by multiple spatial gates and mysterious domains.

Just one Blood Moon has caused heavy losses to China, and such disasters are not limited to just one.

But China certainly wouldn't let her lord over China because of her power.

If she dared to do anything detrimental to China now, she would almost be instantly annihilated!

As for the matter involving Su Ze and Uesugi Akizuki.

Even if Forerunner Commander Situ Jiayang had countless methods, unless it was a foolproof plan and after discussions with China's top leaders, he wouldn't risk the lives of tens of millions of Chinese people.

Although Situ Jiayang seemed a bit humble towards Uesugi Akizuki, this big bad wolf was hiding deep.

Everything was for the future of Forerunner, otherwise, he wouldn't even bother dealing with her demands.

"Why are you talking like me at such a young age... ahem, how did you get out?" Su Ze quickly changed the subject.

"You dare mention that!" Situ Jiajia was like a frenzied cat, baring her teeth and claws, "You jerk!"

Unaware of the situation, Little Hottie heard Su Ze being scolded and yelled at, so she immediately stood in front of Su Ze, slightly pouting her lips, and gave Situ Jiajia a fierce glare.

Wow, so cute! Situ Jiajia almost melted for a moment.

Su Ze noticed that Little Hottie had gained more common sense recently and was no longer as silly as before.

If it were before, she would probably be scared by Situ Jiajia's ferocious appearance and cling to his arm. If Su Ze wasn't there, she would curl up trembling on the ground.

“It’s okay, she can’t beat me,” Su Ze stroked Little Hottie's burgundy long hair.

Since Situ Jiajia could safely come out from the executors, it proved that she was not a threat to China.

And being able to meet her here also proved that Su Ze's deduction was correct; she was either a supernatural being or an ability user.

Back then, wanting three-wan either meant she really had that intention, or she was testing him with the people on that bus.

But what exactly were they testing, Su Ze believed she wouldn't tell him. He could read her memories, but since she was an ally, he chose to drop the idea.

"Can't beat you? Hehe, hehe..." Seeing Su Ze's calm gaze, her hehe gradually faded.

She took out a phone and handed it to Uesugi Akizuki, laughing dryly twice, "Hehe, don't you remember me so soon? He didn't even buy you a phone? Well, I'll give you one."
