After finding a suitable dessert shop to eat at, Ye Chuan, Lan Xiaoke, and Bai Qianshuang sat down. Xiaoke couldn't wait to take out her phone, scanning the QR code to order.
"Hehe—the newly released matcha cake seems really good. Qianshuang, Qianshuang, do you want to try it?"
"Mhm."
"But I have to drink a few more mouthfuls of milk tea first. My mouth is full of the taste of semen." Lan Xiaoke took several sips of her taro paste milk tea to suppress the taste in her mouth.
Ye Chuan didn't have much interest in desserts. He just casually ordered a bowl of mung bean soup and watched Lan Xiaoke and Bai Qianshuang start eating their sweets.
At this moment, the monitors in the dessert shop were broadcasting the latest news—
[Recently, the appearance rate of monsters in Haizhu City has increased, and the crime rate has risen. It is suspected to be related to the Liberator organization. Citizens are advised to pay attention to their safety when traveling. Experts point out that if every family has a Super Martial Artist, the mortality rate of family members will be greatly reduced...]
[Recently, Qiao's Pharmaceutical Group has been sanctioned by multiple countries on the grounds that its Super Martial Artist healing potions contain banned ingredients. Our department is strongly protesting...]
[Recently, our city's hero, the Armored Warrior, has been cracking down on criminal acts, and leaves hastily after battles, unwilling to reveal their identity—here is a broadcast of the combat process.]
The video cut, and from the perspective of a drone,
a giant snake-like monster, five or six meters tall, was wandering the streets. Its dark cyan scales gleamed coldly in the sunlight, its forked tongue flicked constantly, and its saliva sizzled as it dripped onto the ground.
Terrified citizens in the vicinity fled into their homes, tightly shutting their doors and windows. Many still peeked out in horror through the cracks in their windows.
Just as the snake-like monster swung its thick tail, whipping it fiercely toward an old man who hadn't had time to dodge, a petite figure suddenly dashed out from a nearby alleyway—
She was dressed in simple casual clothes, wearing a black mask over her face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes. Her figure looked like that of a teenager, yet she exuded an unquestionable sense of determination.
"Stop!"
As the crisp shout rang out, the snake-like monster stopped its movement and fixed its eyes on her.
"Who I am isn't important. I'm just a passing hero."
Even though the monster couldn't speak, the girl immediately raised her hand, pulled a silver transformation device from her pocket, gripped it tightly, and raised her arm high before slapping it onto her waist:
"Armor, assemble!"
Hum—
Dazzling light instantly erupted from the transformation device, spreading along the girl's arm to her entire body. Amidst the crisp sound of clashing metal, a suit of silver armor quickly covered her limbs, torso, and head.
A faint pink halo glowed from the eye area of the helmet, and two pairs of petite wing-like shoulder guards hovered behind her. Supported by the armor, her originally petite figure gained a touch of heroic spirit and a sense of power.
The moment the transformation was complete, she pushed off the ground, her body darting toward the snake-like monster like an arrow released from a bowstring, her speed so fast that it left an afterimage on camera.
The snake-like monster had just struck the ground next to the old man, sending crushed stones flying. Before it could launch another attack, she kicked it squarely in the flank.
"Bang!"
The immense force sent the five or six-meter-tall snake-like monster flying sideways, crashing into a nearby streetlight pole, which instantly bent and deformed.
Before the monster could struggle to its feet, she closed in, gathering faint pink energy in her palm, and delivered a fierce palm strike to its head.
"Boom!"
Amidst the sound of the energy explosion, the snake-like monster's head shattered directly. Dark cyan blood splattered all over the ground, and its massive body twitched a few times before stopping completely.
The entire battle took no more than a dozen seconds. It was clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.
After taking care of the monster, she didn't even linger. She glanced back at the citizens hiding in the safe zone,
then turned and leaped. The wing-like shoulder guards on her back unfolded, carrying her away as a streak of pink light. She disappeared into the horizon in an instant, leaving behind a mess on the ground and dumbfounded citizens.
[The above is the complete report for recent days.]
In the dessert shop, the hand Lan Xiaoke was using to hold her milk tea cup paused in mid-air, her eyes wide and round:
"Wow! This is so cool! And she looks so tiny."
Bai Qianshuang put down the fork in her hand, looked at the screen with calm eyes, and nodded gently:
"Her strength is great, and her reactions are very fast."
Everything was done in one breath, without any sloppiness.
Ye Chuan casually glanced at the screen, the corners of his mouth curling up:
"Not bad. Her moves are quite agile, her transformation speed isn't delayed, and she runs right after fighting."
It seemed that Xiao Yang had indeed taken his words to heart. Now she even wore a mask when transforming to avoid exposing her true identity.
The masked girl transforming in the video was exactly the teenager Ye Chuan had previously gifted the transformation device to. Because she was immersed in her hero dream, Ye Chuan had let her suffer a bit of injury to teach her a lesson.
This monster-infested world was not peaceful, and if this girl named Xiao Yang kept being so high-profile, she would lose her life sooner or later.
But obviously, she had listened to Ye Chuan's advice.
However, this girl still seemed quite obsessed with transforming right before the battle.
She clearly could have transformed beforehand and then launched a sneak attack.
Just as Ye Chuan was thinking this, he suddenly heard a faint sound of excited foot-stomping. He paused for a moment and turned his head to look—
He found that at a booth not far away, a girl wearing a mask was looking at the TV, excitedly covering her small face, looking extremely shy.
But the moment she raised her head, her gaze seemed to meet Ye Chuan's.
"Ah! It's Big Brother!" She stood up in surprise. Her voice made the surrounding diners look over, scaring her into immediately sitting back down.
"Oh?" Ye Chuan hadn't expected the person herself to actually be in the shop.
This masked girl was none other than Xiao Yang, who had just eliminated the monster in the video.
...
"Big Brother, it's been a while." Xiao Yang also sat down at Ye Chuan's table. She took off her mask, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
"The transformation device you gave me is super amazing. It instant-kills any monster I fight."
"Is that so." Ye Chuan didn't pay it much mind. After all, the transformation device was just a toy. Ever since Ye Chuan reached the Enlightenment Realm in his cultivation, transformation devices were completely nothing but toys to him.
"It really is! And I listened to your words, Big Brother, and hid my identity well," Xiao Yang said.
"During the day, I'm just an ordinary middle school student studying at school, but in the afternoons and nights after school, I'm a hero roaming the city!"
"Eliminating monsters and cracking down on criminal syndicates!" Xiao Yang said. "Plus, I know how to hide my identity now. Nobody knows that the armor is me."
"That's a good thing," Ye Chuan said, suddenly smiling amiably.
"Do you want me to keep upgrading your transformation device?"
