"Captain! What do we do now? There are too many monsters!" The bespectacled girl clutched her staff tightly, her voice filled with nervous tension.
Meanwhile, the two shield-bearers and the assassin watched the approaching creatures with excitement. Their job was to support their captain in battle, if she fought alone all the time, they would just be dead weight.
The red-haired young woman covered her mouth with one hand, then gave a slight nod before extending her fingers and snapping them.
[Great Character Explosion]
Scorching fmes shaped like the character '大' surged toward the monster horde. Ma Mian and Niu Tou's eyes widened in shock. They had spent so much effort gathering all those creatures!
Just as the fire was about to engulf the monsters, a sudden figure appeared in the air.
Chuyue spread her wings and soared through the sky, with Ye Lan holding onto her hand as they plunged straight into the center of the horde.
Swish!
Ye Lan released Chuyue’s hand and descended rapidly. Without hesitation, she activated [Water Cannon] against the raging firestorm.
"Hey, beauty! Hands off my monsters!"
Wasting no time, Ye Lan condensed a massive sphere of water and hurled it at the fmes. The roaring fire was instantly extinguished, dissipating into a thin wisp of smoke.
"Who the hell is this bastard?" The red-haired girl’s mouth twitched as she stared at Ye Lan. Strangely, the nausea that had overwhelmed her earlier suddenly vanished.
Ye Lan, radiating an air of absolute righteousness, stepped in front of the monster horde and snapped his fingers.
"You two, get to work!"
"Understood!"
Ma Mian and Niu Tou quickly nodded, csping their hands together to cast the basic spell [Wind Whirlwind].
Two violent gusts of wind intertwined, pulling all the creatures into a single point. Ye Lan grinned, clenched his fists, and leaped into the air.
"Take this... my... Serious Punch!"
BOOM!!
The impact obliterated every monster, reducing them to dust. Normally invisible to the naked eye, the experience points surged like radiant ribbons, flowing into his body.
"Ah~ this feeling~ is incredible~! I can feel my power skyrocketing~!" Ye Lan’s face flushed with ecstasy as he indulged in the rush of leveling up.
[Level increased: 11 → 12]
[Level increased: 12 → 13]
[Level increased: 13 → 14]
………………
Her rapid level-ups finally stopped at level 19, an astonishing eight levels gained in one go!
Ye Lan could only think of one Word... Incredible!
Silently, she opened her attribute panel to check her stats.
............
Name: Ye Lan
Gender: Female
Race: Beastkin (Feline Subgroup)
Css: Priestess (Incomplete Heritage)
Level: 19

Stats:
Attack: 1999
Defense: 1999
Agility: 1999
Magic: 19
Equipment: Phantom Star (Purple, Ability: Teleportation)
……………
Huh? Why are my attack, defense, and agility all at 1999? No, more importantly, why are they stuck at 1999?
Well… I’ll ask Niu Tou and Ma Mian about it ter. For now, dealing with this group takes priority…
Ye Lan turned her head, carefully observing the team in front of her. Chuyue descended from the air and immediately activated a magic scroll with a concealment spell, making the wings on her back disappear.
Seeing this, the red-haired girl assumed Chuyue had simply used some kind of flight skill, never even considering the possibility that she might be a bird-type Beastkin.
Chuyue gnced at the red-haired girl, then, unable to resist, gently tugged at Ye Lan’s clothes and whispered. "Mom, Mom, it's this person… Her presence feels simir to mine…"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan was certain. The red-haired girl standing before her had to be one of the three 'Z subjects'. It seemed she had received far better treatment than Chuyue, given that she had already reached level 41.
Silently, Ye Lan activated her detection skill. Due to her superior sequence, she had special priority in detection.
Meanwhile, the red-haired girl could only see a blurred version of Ye Lan’s information, and even that had already been altered by the concealment magic.
In contrast, Ye Lan could see all of her information.
.........
Name: Long Lingna
Gender: Female
Race: Human (with an extremely scarce trace of Dragon Beastkin lineage)
Level: 41
Skills: Great Character Explosion, Fire Fist, Dragon Piercing Fme, Infernal Fire Seed, High-Speed Movement, Sea of Fire
Stats:
Attack: 1000
Defense: 600
Agility: 800
Magic: 1000
Equipment: Reinforcement Inscription (Purple, ability: Increases all stats by 20%)
…………
What…!? Is she really this powerful!?
Ye Lan’s eyes widened in shock. These were the highest stats she had ever seen in a human. At level 41, Long Lingna could easily take down General Ironblood, a level 48 warrior.
But what stood out the most wasn’t just her overwhelming list of skills, it was the fact that her magic stat had reached 1000. That was a number no Beastkin could ever hope to achieve…
Ye Lan took a quick gnce at her 19 mana points, which had barely stabilized after her rapid level-up, and suddenly felt like crying.
Meanwhile, Long Lingna observed her intently, her overwhelming presence so intense that even Niu Tou and Ma Mian seemed to shrink under its weight. Behind her, her two followers gazed at her with admiration, their eyes practically sparkling, so much so that it looked like they were about to wave red fgs and start cheering.
But… while Long Lingna maintained a composed and dignified expression, the back of her head, hidden beneath her hair, was already drenched in sweat.
Who are these people? What the hell?! Do they know us? Are they even human? Why can’t I gather any concrete information about them? Are they heirs of some powerful Chinese family? But I don’t recognize them at all…
No, that’s not the real issue right now! The real problem is that this girl wiped out all those monsters with a single punch. Even I don’t have that kind of attack power! Does that mean she’s stronger than me?!
Impossible! I am one of the three ‘Subject Z’! I stand at the peak of human talent!
Long Lingna swallowed nervously.
Ye Lan noticed the small gesture and smirked mockingly before taking Chuyue’s hand and slowly walking toward her.
Why is she coming toward me?!
Long Lingna’s body tensed slightly, and just as she was about to step back, the girl with gsses behind her suddenly grinned and, without warning, shoved her forward with both hands.
"Captain! Stay strong! Use your dominant aura to intimidate them!" The girl with gsses waved her hand cheerfully, fshing a bright smile.
Long Lingna felt her throat tighten. With that push, the already short distance between them shrank even further. Ye Lan, leading Chuyue, stopped right in front of her.
"Long Lingna" Ye Lan’s voice was calm yet firm. Instinctively, Long Lingna straightened her posture and responded automatically. "Yes!"
Huh? Why did I respond?!
Huh? How does she know my name?!
Huh? Why does this golden-haired girl feel oddly familiar?!
Long Lingna blinked, utterly confused. At that moment, Ye Lan smirked, then gently nudged Chuyue toward her.
"Your bargain little sister has been delivered. Please sign for receipt~"1便宜: It transtes to 'cheap' or 'bargain', but in the context of the chapter, it refers to obtaining something without asking for it or without effort.
"…Huh!?"
