Chapter 182: Chapter 127: Superman Label

Song Anni?

Gu Qing looked at the name the blonde woman had sent him and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

This name that was a mix of Chinese and English.

And combined with her mixed Eastern and Western features.

That pretty much confirmed she was mixed-race.

While Gu Qing was thinking this over,

Song Anni had already left his side and walked over to stop in front of Xia Shuran, who was not far away.

Her gaze swept over Xia Shuran’s ample bosom, finally settling on Xia Shuran’s impossibly beautiful face. With a smile, she said:

"You should add me on WeChat too. When you have a baby in the future, I’ll give you a big red envelope."

Huh?

Ha... have a baby?

Xia Shuran was stunned. She didn’t understand why this charismatic blonde woman, who radiated the aura of a leader, would say something so strange to her.

"Little sister?"

Seeing that Xia Shuran wasn’t responding, Song Anni spoke again, "Let’s add each other on WeChat?"

"Oh, oh, okay."

Xia Shuran snapped out of it, took out her phone, and added Song Anni as a friend on WeChat.

Just after adding her and saving her name, Song Anni felt a little thirsty. She reached down, unhooked the baby bottle hanging from her waist, and held it firmly in her hand.

The next second, her eyes suddenly glowed with a strange, scarlet light. She aimed two searing red lasers from them at the baby bottle in her hand, quickly heating the milk inside.

In the blink of an eye, the milk in the bottle was warm.

Sensing the temperature was about right, Song Anni retracted the laser beams from her eyes and gently twisted open the bottle’s cap.

Then, ignoring the astonished gazes of everyone present,

she tilted her head back, raised the baby bottle,

and began to sip the milk with a look of pure enjoyment on her face.

After finishing the milk a moment later,

Song Anni wiped a trace of it from the corner of her mouth, looked at Gu Qing and Xia Shuran in turn, and said:

"Awaken soon."

"And have a healthy baby soon."

After leaving them with those two simple sentences,

Song Anni lowered her center of gravity, bent her knees to gather power, and turned the toes of her red combat boots inward, creating a slightly comical pigeon-toed stance. At the same time, she raised her hands high above her head and crossed them.

The next moment, she pushed off powerfully from the ground, swung her crossed arms down sharply, and shot into the air. She became a red afterimage, streaking high into the sky and speeding away until she vanished completely over the horizon.

Gu Qing gazed in the direction she had disappeared, a thought surfacing in his mind.

’She can fly, and she has Laser Eyes.’

’This [Superman] tag is worth grinding for.’

’Once my Martial Soul awakens, I could consider joining her Monster Assault Team.’

As soon as Song Anni left,

Zhao Chuan, who had been slumped on the ground, pushed himself to his feet.

At this moment, he was completely numb.

He had been kicked out of the Monster Assault Team at the start of the year, a severe blow to his confidence. To regain the self-assurance he once had as a genius, he’d volunteered to be the instructor for the new Awakened Squad. He hoped to rebuild his confidence by overseeing a group of weak, rookie Extraordinary Awakened.

But he never expected that on his very first day, he would be crushed single-handedly by a rookie on his team, his dignity as an instructor shattering to pieces.

Immediately after, he was publicly humiliated by his former captain from the Monster Assault Team, losing all face.

The more he thought about it, the more mortified he became. Finally, with a dark expression, he looked at Gu Qing and the others and said:

"I have an urgent matter to attend to. You’re all free to do as you please for now. I’ll let you know when to assemble after I’m done."

After hastily dropping this line, he didn’t want to stay a second longer. He turned and quickly walked off the training ground.

With his departure,

the only ones left on the vast training ground were Gu Qing, Xia Shuran, Wu Jiahao, and Liu Yue, whose head was still ringing.

Liu Yue had been closest to the center of the explosion and had a slight concussion from the shockwave.

Xia Shuran quickly walked over to Gu Qing, her eyes filled with adoration as she looked at him and said, "Senior, you’re too amazing! Not even the instructor could beat you. You’re practically a god!"

Gu Qing laughed. "If I count as a god, then the world must be full of them."

Xia Shuran gave a playful smile. "It’s not the same. In my heart, you’re the only god, Senior. No matter how strong others are, they aren’t gods in my eyes."

The moment she finished speaking, Wu Jiahao strode over and stopped in front of Gu Qing.

Wu Jiahao’s eyes were filled with curiosity and shock. He looked at Gu Qing and said, "Dude, Gu Qing, what’s the deal with you? How are you so strong?!"

"You even crushed the instructor with ease! That’s too damn ridiculous!"

After saying that, he couldn’t wait to ask, "You’re clearly just an Extraordinary Contactor, so how the hell did your strength improve so quickly?"

Gu Qing: "Guess?"

Wu Jiahao thought for a moment and blurted out, "Could it be that you’ve always been this strong? You were just deliberately hiding your true power, pretending to be weak to get the drop on everyone?"

Gu Qing: "Guess again?"

’Guess my ass!’

’If you don’t want to answer, just say so!’

’What the hell am I supposed to guess?!’

Wu Jiahao complained endlessly in his head.

He wasn’t an idiot. He knew Gu Qing had no intention of revealing his secrets and was just messing with him.

Calming himself down a bit, he stopped wasting time on pointless guesses. He changed the subject, putting on a fawning expression to ask Gu Qing for advice:

"By the way, you’re way too good at showing off. It makes me itch to try."

"Are there any tricks to showing off like that? Teach me, man. I want to learn a thing or two."

"If you’re willing to teach me how to show off, when I become a big leader in the Night Court, you’ll be my number one guy. I guarantee you a meteoric rise through the ranks."

As he said this, Wu Jiahao patted his chest, giving Gu Qing a confident guarantee.

Hearing these arrogant words, Xia Shuran couldn’t hold back. She quietly retorted to this attention-seeking show-off: "Has it ever occurred to you that you have it completely backward? That in the future, my senior will be the one in a high position, and you’ll be, at best, just one of his unremarkable, ordinary subordinates?"
