Chapter 96

On the weekend, at a bar street in Yanjing.

Fang Gan, a suave and charming young man, held his girlfriend Liang Ling, who was the second-best in the Superhuman Studies Department and also the department's beauty queen, and said goodbye to a few friends from military and wealthy families, laughing and chatting affectionately as they walked towards the BMW they had driven.

Although the academy had close ties with special forces, it did not prohibit ordinary students from going out, as long as they did not break the law. Fang Gan's family background was relatively ordinary, but his girlfriend, Liang Ling, was the granddaughter of a powerful military general, Xian Hui. Liang Ling had a cheerful personality and a beautiful appearance, and had awakened her ESP abilities in kindergarten. Fang Gan always worked hard to maintain his top-three position in the Physical Studies Department, mainly because his girlfriend was outstanding in every aspect compared to him.

Fang Gan was confident that he was not a gold-digger, but meeting a girlfriend with such a good family background and outstanding abilities meant he could save decades of hard work. As the saying goes, "Sisters love beauty, mothers love money," but his girlfriend not only loved beauty but also valued talent, setting extremely high standards for her boyfriend's abilities. Fang Gan knew that if Cui Qinglang wasn't always so intimidating and Ji Wangyue didn't have such a detached and noble demeanor, this girlfriend might not have been his.

Therefore, he was always troubled by his inability to achieve the same ranking as his girlfriend in the Physical Studies Department. Unfortunately, Cui Qinglang and Ji Wangyue were just too strong, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't surpass them. Fortunately, Cui Qinglang and Ji Wangyue were graduating this year after a final year evaluation, and Ji Wangyue was about to join the first team of the Qianlong Special Forces. At that time, he could finally become the top student...

But then came a new student named Li Pu, who was a few years younger than him. Fang Gan had carefully observed this younger student and admitted that even though Li Pu held back during training, he was still clearly superior to him.

One genius after another, who would have known that Fang Gan was also recognized as a prodigy before coming to this school? Fang Gan felt incredibly frustrated, but fortunately, his girlfriend Liang Ling occasionally teased him about it without showing any signs of wanting to break up.

Next week was his girlfriend's birthday, and he thought it would be better to think about how to please her, ideally to win her heart completely! Fang Gan maintained a charming and gentle smile, but his mind was preoccupied with these thoughts.

Therefore, Liang Ling noticed something was wrong before he did.

Liang Ling didn't say anything; she just secretly pinched Fang Gan's hand and subtly indicated with her eyes to pay attention to the rearview mirror of the nearby car.

"..." Fang Gan glanced at the rearview mirror without showing any emotion: three strangers were following him, two women and one man. One was a Gothic maid with glasses and a blank expression, another was a schoolgirl with twin pigtails, chewing gum and blowing bubbles. The remaining man was a red-haired youth with a boyish face, wearing fashionable casual clothes and a carefree smile.

Generally, such appearances were not unusual in this street, but Fang Gan was extremely cautious.

His girlfriend's ESP ability included a very prominent extrasensory perception. If she felt something was wrong, it was really wrong.

But Fang Gan was also a powerful martial artist with hidden strength. No matter why these people were following him, he was confident he could handle it. In the streets of Yanjing, he and Liang Ling knew most of the people they couldn't provoke. These three strangers, the man looked like a punk with red hair, and the women, one older and one younger, both had good looks, but they didn't seem to be from any influential families.

He stopped, turned around leisurely, and placed his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "Friends, is there something you need?"

The red-haired man was about to speak, but the twin-pigtailed girl, who seemed the least threatening, raised her hand to stop him.

"I've been in this country for almost a week, and I'm almost bored to death. Finally, there's a chance to do something, Rebecca, Red-Haired Monkey, just watch." The twin-pigtailed girl pouted her bright red lips, not even glancing at Fang Gan, who was standing confidently with his hands behind his back, trying to impress his girlfriend. She giggled in English to Liang Ling, "Hi, you're pretty good, noticing me from ten meters away. I was even using brainwave shielding."

At this, the twin-pigtailed girl—Omega Yuriko—turned to the red-haired man with a pretend pout, "It must be because Red-Haired Monkey saw this sister's great figure, so his perverted thoughts are even stronger than Tatsuya, and she could feel it!"

"Oh, Miss Lam, my eyes are only for you," the red-haired man—Fumizou, who shared Japanese heritage with Omega Yuriko—grinned and shrugged, answering with a double entendre.

"Who are you?" Fang Gan was no longer calm. The attitude of the other party was too strange; they were clearly enemies but seemed to take the fight lightly.

It was as if the third-best in the Physical Studies Department and the top student in the Superhuman Studies Department were just a small problem they could solve with a snap of their fingers.

"Hello~ Mr. Fang Gan and Miss Liang Ling from Eagle Feather Academy, right? Don't be afraid, I just want to ask for a small favor." Omega Yuriko's eyes flickered as she looked at the two, "There's a little junior I really want to meet, but she never comes out of the academy. This is really a headache for Yuriko. So, do you have any ideas?"

"By the way, you don't need to resist anymore, it's too tiring." Omega Yuriko "lovingly" glanced at Liang Ling, lifting her finger with pink nails and tapping her forehead, "Your mental fluctuations are like a small flame that can be extinguished at any time. If you don't want irreversible brain damage, just listen to me now, meow~"

Fang Gan was shocked to see Liang Ling, wearing a summer dress, turn pale, her exposed shoulders trembling, and a thin trail of blood flowing from her nose. As Omega Yuriko spoke, she seemed to be resisting some invisible force, barely closing her eyes and staggering back a few steps, almost collapsing to the ground.

She looked at the seemingly harmless twin-pigtailed girl standing not far away with a stubborn and disbelieving expression, her eyes filled with a look of disbelief that was even more intense than seeing an alien in front of her.

Liang Ling was the second-best in the Superhuman Studies Department, though not as strong as the top student, she was more skilled in extrasensory perception and mental hypnosis. Unlike Fang Gan, she had launched a probing attack almost immediately upon seeing Omega Yuriko.

However, her attack was like a stone thrown into the sea, and the mental fluctuations from Omega Yuriko, like a surging tide, penetrated her defenses. Her brain, which was almost "open" after the attack, was mercilessly stirred, and if she hadn't resisted with all her might, causing her nose to bleed, she might have already lost consciousness.

"Xiao Ling!" Fang Gan was both anxious and angry, his body darting forward like an arrow, his fists becoming a blur. Unfortunately, his perfect killing move hadn't even formed when he was thrown into the air as if weightless, crashing into the cement wall, dazed and disoriented.

"Can't you even use the technique to strengthen your bio-electromagnetic field to counteract mental fluctuations? How boring, I haven't even used many of my tricks yet." Omega Yuriko waved her hand in disappointment. Fang Gan, who had stubbornly flipped back up, was thrown from the wall into a thick sycamore tree, feeling humiliated and injured, almost vomiting blood.

"You're setting the bar too high; he's just a student who has achieved hidden strength." Fumizou looked down at Fang Gan, who was struggling to stand up, with pity. Omega Yuriko was too strong; apart from lacking experience, she was probably the most difficult to deal with in this mission, second only to Night Demon.

Even he, if he were to face Omega Yuriko head-on, could only say he would "do his best."

Among the seven of them, even the weakest was considered one of the top fifty in the world, and "Night Demon" Noah was a monster-level character ranked sixth in the threat level sequence. The Eagle Feather Academy, the talent school of the Qianlong Special Forces, was indeed a den of dragons and tigers, but they were also the aces of the dark world, capable of capturing and killing dragons and tigers!

Casually dealing with two Chinese elites, Omega Yuriko smiled at the personal maid she had received from Raven King and said, "Rebecca, pack them up and take them back. Let that monster (Night Demon) deal with their heads (she tapped her forehead)."

The mysterious superpowered girl stretched lazily in the moonlight, "I really want to meet that girl who almost became my junior. If we can't lure her out this time, we might as well storm the school~"
