Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 457 - 429: Suicide Squad
"Clearing Chen Lihui’s name and punishing two scoundrels earned me one Supernatural Point," Lin Tian had just reached the stairs when he heard the mechanical voice of the ’Taotie System.’
The voice of the ’Taotie System’ reminded Lin Tian to check his balance, and he saw that he only had one Supernatural Point—which was too few. To enhance his strength and become more powerful, he would have to rely on Supernatural Points. It seemed that he needed to do more good deeds, more acts of justice, to exchange for more Supernatural Points, Lin Tian thought to himself.
He went downstairs and found Bu Mengting pouting her lips in displeasure and complaining, "Why did you take so long to come down, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you!"
"Baby, don’t be mad, alright? It’s my fault. I’ll make it up to you tonight."
Having said that, Lin Tian gave a sly smile, wrapped his arms around Bu Mengting’s waist, and kissed her.
Bu Mengting’s face immediately turned red with shyness. What did ’making it up to you tonight’ mean? What was Lin Tian planning to do tonight?
Bu Mengting punched Lin Tian in the chest and coquettishly said, "Who needs your compensation, you’re annoying!"
Bu Mengting ran ahead, blushing, while Lin Tian quickly followed, looking forward to the night.
It was already late, and Bu Mengting didn’t want to fuss over going for a Western meal, so she suggested having spicy hotpot instead.
Now, whatever the little wife said, Lin Tian had to agree, as he feared she wouldn’t cooperate later in the evening, and that would be his own loss.
The two of them arrived at the school gate and ordered the most ordinary bowl of spicy hotpot. With Lin Tian’s net worth in the billions and capable of affording anything, if others knew a billionaire was eating a spicy hotpot that cost eight yuan a bowl, it would probably make the Tencent news.
With his little wife by his side, even the simplest spicy hotpot could taste blissfully delightful. Bu Mengting enjoyed it heartily, her head sweating profusely, with Lin Tian taking on the role of wiping her sweat.
After eating the spicy hotpot, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting held hands and strolled under the tree-lined path.
Bu Mengting hopped around, looking up at the moon, and pointed at it, saying, "Husband, look, the moon is so beautiful!"
"Yeah, it’s beautiful, but not as beautiful as my little wife," Lin Tian said cheekily.

"You’re not being serious again, I’m ignoring you," said Bu Mengting, and then she ran ahead, turning a corner and coming upon a lady selling grilled cold noodles. Licking her lips, Bu Mengting wanted to buy a portion.
Lin Tian’s face was the very image of misery, thinking to himself, how could his little wife eat so much? Can we even go back now? I’m about to burst with the primal energy inside me.
Lin Tian hurried after her, and while waiting for the cold noodles to be grilled, he inadvertently heard a faint sound of footsteps. Turning to look, he saw a dark figure, who, feeling discovered by Lin Tian, turned and ran.
"Stop running!"
Lin Tian chased after him, using his Neural Response Speed Ability and Flight Technique. He soared just half a foot above the ground, moving faster than a motorcycle could.
"Hey, look, look, someone’s flying over there!" exclaimed a bystander.
The lady grilling cold noodles saw it too, and she said to Bu Mengting, "Quick, look at your boyfriend, he’s flying!"
Bu Mengting knew Lin Tian must have encountered trouble and quickly made an excuse, "Auntie, my boyfriend performs magic. Hurry up with the noodles, they’re burning."
The lady saw that indeed they were burnt, and regretted it inwardly, lamenting the wasted six yuan in just a moment of distraction.
Lin Tian continued the chase. The figure was fast, a Spiritual Warrior tracking him. This filled Lin Tian with even more unease. He sped up, determined to catch the person.
As it turned out, those who run on the ground can never outpace those who fly in the sky. At the mouth of an alley, Lin Tian caught up with him.
Lin Tian activated his Ox Power Technique, channeling the strength of fifty-four savage bulls into one punch. He threw it with all his might, a punch so powerful that, were it a tree, Lin Tian could have pulverized it into powder.
The shadowy figure felt a deadly crisis approaching. He spurred his body’s Ability Source with all his might. The next moment, Lin Tian felt the temperature around him drop by twenty degrees instantly. Following that, a thick layer of ice formed over the shadow’s fist, turning a bare fist into an ice fist the size of a washbasin in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The fists collided solidly, creating an echoing thunderous noise. His ice fist was shattered to pieces by Lin Tian’s bare punch, his entire arm sufferered comminuted fractures from Lin Tian’s immense power.
With a scream of agony, the shadowy figure slammed heavily against the wall. Lin Tian stepped forward, planted his foot on the man’s chest, and shouted, "Speak, what is the purpose behind following us?"
The shadowy figure did not speak, but bit into a Medicine Pouch hidden behind his teeth. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he took his own life.
Lin Tian was surprised. He hadn’t expected the shadowy figure to be so ruthless as to commit suicide at the first sign of trouble.
This was clearly the work of someone who had undergone rigorous training—a death-defiant Assassin.
This made Lin Tian even more concerned. The shadow’s intent to trail him certainly had an agenda, and the power to cultivate such loyal Assassins was no trivial matter.
Was it the Li Family from the Capital City, the Ouyang Family, or perhaps the Wang Family from Tianchuan City, or maybe it was....
Any of them could be possible, and Lin Tian was uncertain which one it was. The enemy lurked in the shadows, while he was exposed in the light. He could only be more cautious with his actions from now on.
Lin Tian returned to find Bu Mengting, who asked, "What’s the matter, is there danger again?"
Lin Tian nodded. Not wanting to worry Bu Mengting, he lied, "Yeah, there was a bit of trouble, but I’ve dealt with it. We shouldn’t stay at the Autumn Sadness Villa anymore."
The Autumn Sadness Villa was a property Lin Tian had bought himself, a fact known by many in Wu’an City. Knowing someone was after him, Lin Tian himself wasn’t afraid, but he worried for Bu Mengting’s safety. Therefore, he couldn’t let Bu Mengting stay at the Autumn Sadness Villa any longer.
"Where are we staying tonight then?" Bu Mengting asked.
Lin Tian grinned mischievously, lifting Bu Mengting in his arms, "Tonight we’ll stay in a hotel, one of those couple’s hotels with all the facilities."
"You’re so bad, so naughty," Bu Mengting said, punching Lin Tian’s chest.
Lin Tian chose the most luxurious couple’s hotel room. As he entered, he was blinded by the colorful range of equipment, some of which he had never seen before.
Lin Tian pointed at something and asked, "Little wife, what’s this? How do you use it?"
Bu Mengting blushed and said, "How would I know? I’ve never seen them before. Hurry up and take a shower, stop being so silly."
"Okay, listen to little wife. First, a mandarin duck bath, and then let’s investigate everything here and figure them out."
"Stop it," Bu Mengting said shyly, though a small sense of anticipation grew within her.
It was destined to be a sleepless night, a night hard to forget, a night rife with exhaustion!
The next morning at seven, Lin Tian woke up and looked at Bu Mengting, who was lying beside him. He kissed her and had a look of triumph on his face.
