Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 55 Assassination

At night, Qimiao was meditating and absorbing the hard-won light attribute crystal core, which she obtained by hunting a mutated sunflower.

Light attribute is the most common and rarest superpower among all elements, because all crystal core carriers strictly require the light element, but none of them are complete light element superpower users. This is why Qi Miao was only at level three at the age of thirty-five.

Although advancing is difficult, Qi Miaoke, who is only at level three, is highly valued, simply because her healing ability is a powerful combination with any strong opponent.

Having a healer in team battles is an advantage, as anyone who has played the game knows.

In addition, Qimiao Ke focuses on improving his speed and is not the kind of healer who completely relies on teammates for protection. The team led by Qimiao Ke has won the most runner-up titles in the national team competition.

Why was it runner-up?

Because she was too threatening, the champion captain kept finding opportunities to kill her one-on-one!

If we're talking about who among all the superhumans in China is best at dealing with assassinations, Qi Miao is undoubtedly second to none.

So, when the murderous intent hidden in the darkness filled the air, Qi Miaoke's eyes turned cold, a flash of light erupted in the night, and the next second, Qi Miaoke had already flashed out of the window and escaped from the room.

"Crash—" "Squeak..."

The moment she unleashed her power, sharp and terrifying ice spikes pierced the bed, while the entwined vines gripped the ice spikes tightly.

An ice-type and a wood-type, working together to assassinate her, the frail light-type healer.

The instant he escaped, Qi Miaoke skillfully sent a quick message to Luo Genjin, the strongest superhuman in the school.

In those years when theories about superpower levels were rampant, this man, with his first-level metal attribute, achieved a third-level water attribute, later rising to second level. He even won the second-level individual championship in the national competition. He didn't participate in the team competition, otherwise Ji Zhaoling wouldn't have won the team championship that year.

Qi Miaoke accepted the transfer to the Haishi base this time because he knew that Luo Genjin was retiring there, so he gladly came to Haishi, just to bring him into his team.

Remembering her purpose, Qi Miao, who was initially somewhat displeased, smiled. This assassination was also an opportunity, a chance to indirectly demonstrate her abilities to Luo Genjin. She didn't believe anyone could escape the charm of the healing light system!

A barrage of attacks assaulted Qimuke, and in less than a minute, the entire dormitory building became a battlefield for the three of them.

Fortunately, considering the heightened senses of those with superpowers, the instructors' dormitory was made available for them. The instructors, sensing something was wrong, evacuated skillfully. Before any clear instructions were given, their priority was to ensure their own safe evacuation.

The dazzling light enveloped Qimuke's figure. She flipped from the bottom up to the rooftop, dodging the pursuing vines and sharp icicles. As soon as she reached the balcony, the smooth surface covered with ice made Qimuke almost slip and fall.

Luo Gengjin, who had been waiting on the rooftop, frowned, grabbed her wrist, put her aside, and faced the two assassins himself.

The battle situation changed in an instant.

The two assassins who had been toying with Qi Miaoke like cats and mice panicked. Luo Gengjin was fast and strong, and his attacks were all deadly. He abandoned all fancy and impractical skills and combined them with top-notch physical skills to turn everything into unexpected weapons, making it impossible for the two to defend against him.

The vines hastily blocked their master's way, but were severed by metal. Fine plant fibers swept into the wood-type ability user's eyes with Luo Genjin's movements. In the few seconds he lost his sight, he felt only despair hidden in the boundless darkness. Before he could even prepare for anything, he felt a chill on his neck as his throat was slit, and he died on the spot.

Before dying, all the seeds carried by the wood-type ability user exploded, and the eagerly growing plants dug their roots deep into the reinforced concrete. The lush branches and leaves grew unrestrainedly, covering the entire rooftop and buying time for their ice-type ability user companion to retreat.

Don't pursue a desperate enemy. Luo Genjin didn't forget that the enemy's target was Qi Miaoke. To prevent other assassins from using a diversionary tactic, he stayed put and guarded Qi Miaoke.

Before coming, he contacted Qin Chuanfeng, the head of the training camp, who told him to wait for the person who would pick him up to take Qi Miaoke to the Haishi base.

"Hey, you're at level three, right?" Although it was a question, Qi Miaoke's tone was certain.

Luo Genjin yawned, looking like he'd been woken up. He tapped his toes irritably and sat on the undamaged wall of the rooftop without any regard for his image, lazily replying, "Hmm."

"But your data shows you're a Level 2 Gold-type character; you haven't updated your data!"

Luo Genjin opened his eyes. "Isn't that thing only updated once a year during the physical exam?"

"Every upgrade requires an update." Qi Miao was speechless. "The regulations came out last August. Didn't you even do the monthly data collection?"

“It was done, but nothing changed,” Luo Genjin said.

"That shouldn't be... Never mind, I'll ask around for you after this is over. Your permissions will be different after the upgrade, and the resources you can exchange will be different too. You should at least pay attention!" Qi Miao couldn't stand this person's indifferent attitude.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you from now on, Captain Qi." Luo Genjin said suddenly, feeling the warm light falling on him.

"Really?!" Qi Miao patted Luo Genjin on the shoulder.

"Cough cough cough...it hurts—" Luo Genjin's face twitched in pain as the penetrating wound was struck hard.

"I'll heal you."

"...Can I retract my application to join the team?"

"No."

When Yu An arrived at the instructors' dormitory of Haishi No. 1 High School, he saw a scene of devastation. The entire building was covered with ice and plants. Two people emerged from the door, which was blocked by vines. One of them was a man with tattered clothes and a fierce aura, while the other was a woman with a smile on her face, mature and elegant.

The handsome man and beautiful woman walking together are extremely eye-catching; those who don't know them might think they're in some kind of idol drama.

Yu An blinked. "Captain Qi? Brother Luo?"

"Hey, Xiao Yu, right? Come on, let's hurry to the base. Old Wu is waiting for me and my teammates to rescue him!" Qi Miao said with a smile.

Yu An understood: "Congratulations to Team Leader Qi for finding a great general."

General Luo Genjin: "...You two, slow down, or people will die at the base."

Although Yu An and Qi Miaoke were exchanging pleasantries, they were quick to get into their cars and start driving. However, Luo Genjin didn't like being teased.

Qi Miaoke feigned innocence and shrugged at Yu An, who was driving.

Yu An glanced at the awkward captain and teammates in the rearview mirror, smiled silently, then skillfully accelerated and executed a stylish drift, drawing a beautiful curve on the road.

Haishi No. 1 High School is neither too far nor too close to the Haishi Superpower Base. It takes an hour and a half to drive there. Especially at night, there are not many cars. Yu An was granted special privileges and had a green light all the way. He sped along and arrived at the base with the follow-up support in just half an hour.
