Su Yue rolled her eyes at her friend’s reply and thought,

’Work stuff is one thing. I get that she can’t talk about it with outsiders because of the Superpower Administration Bureau’s rules.

But her power level? That’s not some big secret. You’re her sister! She might not bring it up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t ask.’

THUD.

A sound from the distance drew Su Yue and Wang Ling’s attention again.

It was the sound of Wang Jing setting the burning van she had lifted back down on the ground.

The van had flipped onto its side, pinning the driver’s side door against the ground and making a rescue difficult.

So, Wang Jing had used her Superpower to right the overturned van, which would make the rescue much easier.

After setting the van upright, Wang Jing immediately moved to the driver’s side.

The door had been warped by the crash, making it impossible to open normally.

An ordinary person faced with a warped door like this would be helpless.

But for Wang Jing, who was at the Second Order High Rank, a situation like this was nothing.

She reached out, grabbed the door handle, and yanked. With a sharp SNAP, her fair hand tore the handle clean off.

The handle was broken, but the warped door remained stubbornly shut. Seeing this, Wang Jing’s expression remained calm and unfazed.

"Hah!"

A sharp cry.

Then, the onlookers watched as Wang Jing raised her right arm, clenched her hand into a fist, and punched the window. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

If she could lift the entire van, shattering a window was child’s play.

CRACK.

The window instantly shattered under the blow from her elegant fist, which glowed with a faint golden Spiritual Light.

CLANG.

After shattering the glass, Wang Jing grabbed the entire warped door and gave it a powerful tug. It came off as if it were made of paper, and she tossed it to the ground.

With the door gone, the rest was simple. Wang Jing leaned in and placed her hand on the neck of the blood-covered driver.

She confirmed he still had a pulse, gave a slight nod, then unbuckled his seatbelt and pulled the unconscious man from the driver’s seat.

TAP TAP TAP...

After pulling the man free, Wang Jing immediately carried him toward the side of the road, moving away from the burning van.

BOOM.

Just as Wang Jing reached the crowd of bystanders on the roadside, the burning van behind her exploded.

After the explosion, the van’s flames raged even higher. Thick smoke billowed toward the sky, and shrapnel flew in all directions.

Fortunately, the onlookers were all aware that a burning vehicle could explode at any moment.

Explosions were no joke, so while everyone was watching the incident unfold, no one was foolish enough to get close to the scene.

As a result, when the explosion occurred, the flying debris didn’t hit anyone.

"Is he still alive?" a young woman in the crowd asked with concern as she saw Wang Jing lay the blood-soaked driver on the ground.

"He’s alive," Wang Jing replied to the young woman. "It doesn’t look too serious. He’ll be fine once the ambulance gets here and takes him to the hospital."

"Phew... That’s great." The young woman let out a long sigh of relief.

WEE-WOO, WEE-WOO, WEE-WOO...

Just a few seconds after the explosion, a fire truck arrived, followed closely by an ambulance.

The firefighters began to extinguish the blaze, while the paramedics tended to the driver Wang Jing had rescued.

Wang Jing watched as the firefighters put out the fire. She then glanced at the driver, who received some initial treatment before being taken to the hospital by the paramedics.

’This incident is pretty much over,’ she thought. ’Nothing left for me to do here.’

TAP TAP TAP...

Wang Ling and Su Yue watched Wang Jing return like a hero. They greeted her excitedly.

"Sis, you were so awesome just now!" Wang Ling said with a laugh, her face beaming with pride.

"When we get home tonight, I’m going to tell Mom and Dad every single detail of your heroic feat."

"Jing, you’re so brave," Su Yue said with a smile. "When I saw you pull that blood-soaked driver from the cab, my heart was in my throat."

Wang Jing just smiled, saying nothing, as if the heroic rescue she had just performed was no big deal.

And in truth, for Wang Jing, it really wasn’t.

As an Investigator for the Superpower Administration Bureau, Wang Jing had been on the job for several years. She had handled many cases far more dangerous than pulling someone from a burning van.

"There’s been an accident, so no taxis will come down this road," Wang Jing said to Su Yue and Wang Ling with a smile. "Let’s walk to the intersection up ahead and try to catch one there."

"Okay." The two girls nodded. The three of them chatted as they walked toward the intersection.

Just as they reached the intersection, an empty taxi appeared and headed their way.

The three of them hailed the cab. After getting in and giving the driver an address, they set off for the restaurant.

...

Inside a noodle shop outside the Ping’an Garden District, Lin Li was on his third bowl of soy-braised beef noodles, scrolling through interesting short videos on his phone as he ate.

"Hm?"

Swiping through, Lin Li suddenly came across a video of a traffic accident involving a van that had just happened.

The video was clearly shot by a bystander; the angle was terrible, and the camera was shaky, but the image itself was surprisingly clear.

The video showed a girl lifting a burning van with her bare hands.

’This person must have a Strength Enhancement Superpower. Otherwise, with pure physical strength, she... probably couldn’t lift a van that heavy.’

After watching the ten-second clip and making a quick analysis, Lin Li swiped past it to the next video.

GULP, GULP, GULP...

After finishing his noodles, Lin Li drank the rich broth in one go.

He pulled a napkin from the dispenser on the table, wiped his mouth, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash can under the table.

’I’m stuffed. Ate a little too much.’

Having eaten three bowls of noodles, Lin Li patted his stomach, grabbed his phone from the table, and left the noodle shop, heading for the residential complex across the street.

’Using the motorcycle’s noise to lure the Mutant Beasts to their deaths this afternoon really boosted my hunting efficiency. The method works; I’ll do it again tomorrow.

If I can keep up this haul every day for a while, I might be able to get a new Magical Little Fruit in about ten days.’

Lin Li mulled over his plans for tomorrow’s Mutant Beast hunt as he walked toward his residential complex.

Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure—a tall woman with long, flowing hair, wearing a white shirt and a dark, pleated skirt.

"Xia Qing," Lin Li muttered, watching the distant figure arguing with someone. ’My neighbor doesn’t seem to have very good luck. Every time I run into her, she’s caught up in some kind of trouble.’

With that, Lin Li quickened his pace and walked toward his neighbor.
