Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 196 Self-rescue

But that's a skill only available to those at level four! Nian Yanshan cried out in his heart.

He also wanted to be able to control the metal with a wave of his hand, transforming it, attacking, and defending at will. After all, metal has always been considered to have extremely high combat power, combining offense and defense, since metal is everywhere in society today.

Which metal-type superpowered individual hasn't dreamed of being a hero with unparalleled strength and power?

But Level 3 is just the beginning.

Nian Yanshan didn't want to show weakness in front of Chu Deng, but Chu Deng's gaze was intense, as if she could see through his hesitation.

"I'll give it a try." In the end, Nian Yanshan agreed. He closed his eyes and tried to sense the metal element around him.

The plane was still falling, and the howling wind was blowing into the cabin through the broken windows, constantly disturbing Nian Yanshan and making it impossible for him to calm down.

He pursed his lips, his heart wavering. Could I really do it?

Chu Deng saw everything, but she was willing to give Nian Yanshan time, while the constantly falling plane was not.

Seeing that the outer fuselage had begun to deform, Nian Yanshan's face turned pale, and his eyes kept twitching but he couldn't move the fuselage to the side even a little bit. Chu Deng knew what the problem was.

If Nian Yanshan were outside the cabin, he might have been able to gradually grasp the control, but now that he is inside the cabin, it's like asking him to lift himself up out of thin air, which is very difficult for him to control.

Chu Deng grabbed Nian Yanshan's hand and pressed it against the cabin wall.

"Your superpower originates from your palm and covers the metal you touch," Chu Deng said slowly, his eyes turning crimson as he watched Nian Yanshan's superpower radiate along his body's meridians, gather in his arm, and flow out from his palm.

"You have taken control of the metal under your palm. Your superpowers are beginning to extend, expand, and be controlled in all directions. The metal is no match for you. It was there waiting when you began to control it."

Chu Deng watched as the golden energy spread from Nian Yanshan's hands, gradually covering half of the cabin's interior wall. As time went on, the rate of spread gradually decreased, and after covering the top of the cabin, the thin energy could not extend to the other half.

Nian Yanshan had reached his limit. His brow was burning hot, and he couldn't help but curl his fingers, gritting his teeth as he prepared to push himself to the limit.

"That's enough." Chu Deng grabbed his wrist and squeezed it tightly, stopping his output. "Keep some of your superpowers just in case."

Nian Yanshan opened his eyes, panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes staring at Chu Deng's eyes, which had returned to their original color, and asked hoarsely, "What's next?"

"Move closer to the other one," Chu Deng said succinctly, pulling up the rope binding Jin Dahai with his right hand and looking out the window at the fighter jets still visible.

Mei Qiu is a wind-type fighter. After Chu Deng finished explaining the plan and Nian Yanshan agreed, he used his special ability to keep the two fighter jets from getting too far apart. The weight of the fighter jets was not something he could easily lift with his special ability, and he was already too tired to speak.

Seeing that Nian Yanshan had moved smoothly towards Mei Qiu, Chu Deng leaned out of the window, grabbed the windowpane, and with her fingertips glowing red, she dug into the outer wall of the fighter jet, pulling herself out.

“Hey…” Nian Yanshan caught a glimpse of Chu Deng’s movements out of the corner of his eye and called out in shock, but then lowered his voice to avoid startling Chu Deng and causing her to slip and fall.

Chu Deng ignored her. The iron chain wrapped around her left hand rattled as she climbed up to the top of the plane while pulling Jin Dahai into the cabin with the rope in her right hand. Only then did Nian Yanshan realize that she had been supporting the weight of another person the whole time!

Nian Yanshan shut his mouth; this was a true big shot.

He had initially been skeptical of how the organization would assign such a young girl to a classified mission, given Chu Deng's young age. Now he realized that there are always people more capable than you.

Nian Yanshan reached out and grabbed the rope, helping Chu Deng lighten her burden.

Chu Deng glanced at him, tacitly acknowledging his help. After quickly climbing to the top of the plane, she bypassed the glass canopy of the fighter jet's cockpit, took a step forward, and stepped onto the metal shell. Her step created two dents in the metal of the fighter jet's nose, helping her secure herself in mid-air.

Chu Deng pulled Jin Dahai up in one breath and loudly instructed Nian Yanshan in the cabin, "Secure him properly!"

Seeing that Jin Dahai had already fainted, Nian Yanshan quickly gave him an oxygen mask. Hearing Chu Deng's words, he improvised and used parachute ropes to tie Jin Dahai tightly to the seat.

Chu Deng visually estimated the length of the chain on his left arm, then asked Nian Yanshan to get closer. Once the distance was about right, he swung the chain outside the cockpit of the fighter jet where Mei Qiu was.

The iron chain landed just in time on the fighter jet where Mei Qiu was. Nian Yanshan could see the crimson light at the end of the chain through the window. As soon as the chain touched the other fighter jet, it melted into the metal outside the cabin as if it had touched water, and the temperature of the red-hot chain spread accordingly.

That was Chu Deng's fire-based ability.

Using high temperatures, the two fighter jets were welded together with an iron chain, and now they are truly in the same boat.

Mei Qiu gasped for breath; they had fallen to a point where they could see the ground clearly.

"Landing in the city is not permitted..."

Chu Deng nodded; of course she knew. So she walked to the tail of the fighter jet and took charge of acting as the flame engine.

The moment the flames exploded, even the two well-trained pilots couldn't withstand the impact and crashed headfirst into the fighter jet, seeing stars.

To adjust its direction, Chu Deng flew the fighter jet to an open area, and continued to adjust its course.

Nian Yanshan, looking pale and exhausted, tried to steady himself but failed. He muttered weakly, "Damn, this is more exciting than spinning the Wheel of Fire..."

"Ugh—" On the other side, Mei Qiu, who was already in a weakened state due to the exhaustion of her superpower, simply couldn't speak.

Only Jin Dahai, who was in a coma, was unaffected.

Seeing the two of them in such a sorry state, Chu Deng, the engine blowing in the wind and the culprit, smiled innocently, saying, "There's still more practice to be done."
