Chapter 194: Chapter 132: Your King Has Returned

’Brother Yang and Sister Yu are both helpless?’

’Sister Yu is a genuine Tier Nine powerhouse. Even she can’t suppress the Rat God Cultists hiding at Hai University?’

’Is that girl from the woods the other day really that strong?’

’Or...’

’...has the masked man who attacked me that night reappeared?’

Gu Qing’s mind raced.

He still remembered it clearly.

That night.

After he had easily crushed Huang Xiaoyue.

A masked man had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The man wore a white lab coat, a grotesque Rat Head Mask, and had the label [Rat God Cultist] above his head. He’d said he wanted to capture Gu Qing and use him as a guinea pig for human experiments.

He suspected that this powerful masked man had appeared again.

Otherwise, there was no way Ma Dongyu, with her Biological Level as high as Tier Nine, couldn’t handle the Rat God Cultists hiding in Hai City University.

After all, when he was only Tier Seven, he could thrash a fully transformed Ratman Huang Xiaoyue as if she were a dog.

From this, he reasoned that the girl from the woods, no matter how strong she was, couldn’t be *that* strong. At best, she’d be Tier Seven or Tier Eight, which would already be incredible.

’I wonder... now that my Biological Level has evolved to High-Tier Two, can I take on that mysterious masked man?’

Gu Qing was very curious about this.

The masked man had two distinct characteristics.

First, he could sprout nine tails, each tipped with a sharp Bone Blade capable of cutting through metal as if it were mud, possessing immense destructive power.

Second, he could transform his body into a swarm of rats. This technique seemed to grant him immunity to physical damage. Even if he were sliced in half at the waist, his upper and lower body would each dissolve into a swarm and scatter. Once the danger had passed, they would reform into a human shape, making him extremely difficult to kill.

’Bone Blades that can cut through metal like mud... My body, now at High-Tier Two, should be able to withstand them without injury.’

’As for his body, which can instantly dissolve into a swarm of rats to evade physical harm... my Qi Blood Strength is so high now that the Qi Blood Power I release is as hot as lava. It’s scorching enough to burn anything. Maybe that can counter his bizarre technique.’

’In summary, I should be able to handle this Rat Head Masked man.’

’At the very least, I’ll have the power to protect myself. I won’t be like last time, completely helpless while he hunted me down.’

After a thorough analysis, Gu Qing came to this conclusion.

Just then.

Steward Tian looked up at Zhao Chuan, who was jogging over, and instructed, "Zhao Chuan, these four are all new recruits to the Night Court. As a veteran, you need to lead them well. Don’t make any mistakes."

Zhao Chuan stopped in front of Steward Tian, his back ramrod straight. He promised solemnly, "Don’t worry, Chief. I’ll lead them to complete this mission perfectly and get us off to a good start!"

Steward Tian said flatly, "There’s no time to waste. You should all leave now. Don’t delay."

The words had barely left his lips.

Before Zhao Chuan could even respond.

Steward Tian simply raised his right hand and swiped a finger through the Void.

The next second.

The air in front of him suddenly tore apart, and a half-meter-wide spatial rift appeared out of thin air.

As Gu Qing and the others watched.

Steward Tian moved, stepping straight into the rift and vanishing without a trace.

It was as if he had never been on the training ground at all.

"Holy crap, what kind of insane Superpower is that? The Chief can just tear open space and teleport whenever he wants? That’s so badass!"

Wu Jiahao exclaimed, his hands on his head in shock, as he stared at the spatial ripples that had yet to fade from the air.

Seeing that no one was responding to the attention-seeker, Gu Qing felt a bit of secondhand embarrassment and replied out of pity, "It’s probably a Space Element Superpower."

"That’s what I figured."

Wu Jiahao’s shocked expression faded, replaced by curiosity. "Speaking of which, if there are Space Element Superpowers, does that mean there are Time Element Superpowers too?"

Gu Qing: "It’s a big world. There are probably all kinds of Superpowers."

Wu Jiahao said, "Someone with a Time Element Superpower could definitely stop time, right?"

"If they were strong enough, they could just freeze time, making all the girls around them stop moving. Then they could do whatever they want to them."

"Tsk tsk, I can’t even imagine how awesome that would be."

Just imagining it made Wu Jiahao instantly excited.

Liu Yue’s brow furrowed, her eyes filled with disgust. "You’re a real pervert. Get away from me, you’re making me sick!"

Wu Jiahao glanced at her and chuckled. "Relax. If I had the power to stop time, I definitely wouldn’t touch you. With your plain looks, you’re not even my type."

Liu Yue: "Get lost!"

Wu Jiahao ignored her and continued talking to himself, "Of course, I would never harm the women of Kyushu. I’d take my time-stopping ability across the sea to Japan. Only there can my power truly be put to great use."

Just then.

Their instructor, Zhao Chuan, looked at the four team members and urged, "Let’s go. Enough chit-chat. We’re heading to Hai City University now."

With that, he turned and walked toward the underground garage.

Seeing this, Gu Qing followed him.

The other three also followed suit.

「Ten minutes later.」

The group arrived at the underground garage of the Field Operations Department building.

Zhao Chuan opened the door of a black sedan and got into the driver’s seat.

Not wanting to squeeze into the back seat with the others, Liu Yue quickly claimed the front passenger seat.

Wu Jiahao was a step too slow and lost the coveted passenger seat.
