Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 41 Mission

A major event has occurred in the world of superpowers.

It started when the "Prophet" on the AA forum posted a message revealing that a level 4 superhuman in China had advanced to level 5.

The moment this news broke, the entire forum's community of people with superpowers exploded.

1L: Why did the prophet collude with the enemy?

2l: Damn it, I've suspected you're not Chinese for a long time! How dare you leak this information!

3l: Waiting for a new Level 5 message.

4l: Waiting for news of a new Level 5 meteorite.

5l: The balance has been broken, so when will a top player reach level six? It's been so long since we've had such explosive news.

6l: Are you dreaming? Level 5 is already the absolute maximum, let alone Level 6?

7l: Here it comes! The new Level 5 is He Feiquan, the "Son of the Wind"!

8l: Isn't it Tong Yusheng?

9l: Why isn't it Tongtong?! (In disbelief) (Running around) (Crawling in the shadows) (Screaming wildly)

10l: I hate He Gou forever! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!

11l: The Son of the Wind is back! He's given a resounding slap in the face to everyone who said he climbed the ranks in the 66 World Championship by taking advantage of his own strength!

12l: Yes, yes, yes! You're right! It wasn't He Gou who got beaten up by Lee Jae-suk back then.

13l: The person upstairs is obviously from South Korea, still praising that guy who's on drugs! I'd like to ask Lee Jae-suk what level he is now? Come out and say something if you dare!

14l: What year is it tonight? (wiping away tears)! China is rising!

15l: I was really optimistic about Tong Yusheng back then, but I didn't expect He Feiquan to reach level 5 first. Who knows!

16l: I heard that both of them were produced by the base. They were among the first batch of superhumans who were trained from childhood. Among those who eventually emerged, they were the most favored. Tong Yusheng always outperformed He Feiquan.

17l: Back then, the higher-ups were worried that Tong Yusheng would be targeted in the world competition, so they specially sent He Feiquan to participate. As a result, He Feiquan advanced to level five first. It's really unpredictable.

In the cafeteria of Shanghai No. 1 High School, Wang Shun and two others were also talking about He Feiquan's promotion to the fifth rank.

This news wasn't exactly a secret; the higher-ups were preparing to publicize it extensively to encourage those with supernatural abilities to improve themselves. With He Feiquan's news being released, everyone except those close to Tong Yusheng could only be happy.

Currently, among all superhumans worldwide, there are only a handful of Level 5 individuals, and in China, there is only one Level 5 individual, Jiang Guoqiang, who is already approaching the age of fifty.

More than a decade ago, the higher authorities began to increase their efforts in cultivating young superhumans. The training of team leaders has been continuously improved, and the Dragon Group candidate group has been provided with various resources. Now, a good candidate has finally filled the vacancy at level five, which has relieved the higher authorities.

“He Feiquan is only 28 years old, and Xiaotong is 29…” Qin Chuanfeng took another sip of wine, feeling a little tipsy.

Huo Xuan couldn't help but take a sip of wine to calm his nerves. Level 3 was his goal, and Level 4 was something he could only look up to. He never expected to hear gossip about Level 5 while having a meal. What an unexpected gain.

Wang Shun closed his eyes, shook his head, and then opened them again to continue eating and drinking.

Fortunately, Qin Chuanfeng could talk on his own, otherwise he wouldn't have become old friends with the mute Wang Shun. "I still remember the days when we taught those kids. I never thought I would see them succeed. Xiao He is from the Feng family, Lao Jiang is also from the Feng family, and Xiao Tong suffered because no one guided him. He was always behind."

There's some truth to that. Jiang Guoqiang is the only level 5 in China. He Feiquan has the same attribute as Jiang Guoqiang, so he'll definitely be promoted. Tong Yusheng is a level 4 water-type, and he's already become the benchmark for water-type characters.

There are only two Class V water systems in the world, one in the United States and the other in the United States. They simply won't pay any attention to Tong Yusheng. Without the help of a senior, she will always be slower in figuring things out on her own.

[He Feiquan's first task after advancing to level five should be to capture Fire Butterfly.] Wang Shun guessed, typing a line of text on his personal terminal.

After sending a message, Wang Shun complained that the beef wasn't satisfying enough, so he went to the kitchen and spent ten minutes heating up a fish, made a cucumber salad to go with his drinks, and also brought out a plate of fried peanuts sprinkled with salt and pepper.

"After the incident on Xiong Yi Avenue, the entire city of Haishi was sealed off. People from all over the country were stationed to guard the area by land, sea, and air. Fire Butterfly is probably still trapped in Haishi," Qin Chuanfeng said, crunching on a peanut.

Huo Xuan thought that He Feiquan would be arriving in Shanghai in the next few days, and wondered why Vice Captain Liang Wufan hadn't come to the school with him. It turned out that he had been sent to be the Crown Prince's guide.

Judging from Zhao Junxing's hurried appearance that day, it was estimated that the team was going to cooperate with He Feiquan to capture the Fire Butterfly.

The three of them chatted until they were full and satisfied before returning to their dorm to sleep.

The next morning, Huo Xuan returned to the base as usual to intensify his training, only to find that the base was under martial law everywhere, with patrol officers rushing around, and the usually bustling base seemed rather deserted.

As he was pondering this, he was suddenly conscripted by the deputy captain, Liang Wufan. "Good lad, you've got good timing! Quickly change your clothes and come with me to pick up the guy at the airport. If you get a few pointers from the big boss, you'll be in luck!"

"What big shot?" Huo Xuan wiped his sweat and asked in confusion.

"Haven't heard? He Feiquan leveled up to level five and came to Hai City to do a mission! Didn't you see the news on the internal forum yesterday? The official team even released a promotional video! He's fucking handsome. My wife watched it all night and kept asking me which minor celebrity he is and which TV series he's in. The special effects are really good." Liang Wufan said helplessly.

Huo Xuan jumped up, quickly took a shower, changed his clothes, and followed the vice-captain to the airport.

As the helicopter descended halfway, a black dot appeared in the sky. He Feiquan, a level 5 superhuman, descended on the wind, landing on the ground as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water, instantly stunning all the superhumans who came to pick him up.

Liang Wufan excitedly patted Huo Xuan on the back, "Wind element is so amazing! It's even more powerful than the legendary lightness skill!"

"Any attribute has to be this powerful at level five," Huo Xuan thought to himself. Although he remained calm on the surface, he couldn't help but feel excited, wondering if he could also reach this level and soar like an eagle in the sky.

Which wind-type user hasn't dreamed of flying after awakening? Levels one and two can only create some wind, level three can unleash wind blades and barely lift themselves up for a few minutes, level four is an enhanced version of level three, capable of creating waves and the first glimpse of the power to command wind and rain, and level five is a huge leap. No wind-type user hasn't seen the video of Jiang Guoqiang single-handedly sinking a giant ship at sea, even though the video was incredibly blurry, it's still been played with so much by wind-type ability users that it's almost become a patina.

Wu Qingyun, the director of the Haishi base, and Zhao Junxing, the team leader, went to greet He Feiquan. After a brief greeting, they arranged for He Feiquan to stay and rest, and that the mission materials and personnel would be ready for his arrangements at any time.

“Although Junxing is only at level three, he has great potential. Please take good care of him, Major General He,” Wu Qingyun said with a smile.

Those who hold positions at the base are generally classified according to administrative rank, while those who do not hold positions at the base are classified according to military rank.

He Feiquan grew up in the Beijing base and served as a squad leader there. After reaching level four, he did not choose to be assigned to special offices in various provinces, but instead joined the military's Dragon Group.

After becoming a Level 5 powerhouse, He Feiquan should have been promoted to lieutenant general, and together with Jiang Guoqiang, they would have commanded all the ability users in the south and north respectively. However, due to Jiang Guoqiang's respect, He Feiquan was not promoted for the time being. Instead, he was to wait until He Feiquan completed the mission of capturing Fire Butterfly before being promoted to lieutenant general. During this period, the higher-ups were also making adjustments, giving He Feiquan time to prepare his team.

"Young and promising." He Feiquan nodded, acknowledging Zhao Junxing's talent.

He Feiquan was only seven or eight years older than Zhao Junxing, yet he was already someone the twenty-one-year-old Zhao Junxing looked up to. Zhao Junxing didn't know how many years it would take to catch up with the two-year gap.

He Feiquan didn't exchange any more pleasantries. Instead, he went to rest for a while. He had already read all the information about Fire Butterfly on the plane before he came. He had only heard of it before, after all, it was the Fire Butterfly assassin who caused a sensation in the supernatural world back then.

The Fire Butterfly Killer, who shocked the world in 2060, disappeared for eight years. Now, it has reappeared and caused a fire, adding another mess to the fire-type ability users in China.
