Could it really be...

"Roar!"

The Lizard Man had no reason left, its vertical pupils filled with the urge to hunt.

Smashing vehicles could no longer satisfy it. It set its sights on a little girl by the roadside, who was slow because of her short legs, and pounced toward her.

"Not good!" Jessica Jones was too anxious to even get out of the car in time.

"Leave it to me!"

"Deja vu!!" Ye Li yanked the steering wheel. The car twisted around, skidded through an arc, and slammed its rear into the Lizard Man, sending it flying midway through its charge.

The force transmitted back made the car shudder. Ye Li and Jessica Jones both had exceptional physiques, so it barely affected them.

Skye, however, was shaken dizzy and was held protectively in Gwen Stacy's arms.

"Cool! Brother, you're amazing!"

"Leave the rest to me!"

Jessica Jones opened her backpack and rummaged through it. "Eh, where did I put it?"

"Why is there nothing but homework? Where's my stuff?"

"It's getting back up..." Gwen Stacy leaned over Jessica Jones's seat and reminded her, "Jessica, hurry up."

"Got it, got it!"

Jessica Jones took out a mask and put it on. The metal mask had elegant curves and was a new model.

Ye Li was speechless. "Weren't you already exposed? What's with all this unnecessary stuff?"

"It's called a sense of ceremony." Jessica Jones took out a metal hair tie and gathered her loose hair into a ponytail. The metal band was engraved with the English letters for "Knightress."

"..."

Ye Li saw that the Lizard Man had already locked onto them.

The big guy looked furious...

Its emerald vertical pupils fixed on their vehicle.

"Roar—!"

The Lizard Man charged over on all fours with incredible speed.

Just as it was about to attack.

Ye Li moved his mind.

A fierce wind suddenly swept through, whipping up dust from the ground and filling the air with a cloud of grit!

The sudden development made the Lizard Man hesitate.

"The monster pounced!"

The distant crowd watching the scene was also worried about the fate of the car owner who had stepped in to help. "He'll be okay, right?"

The dust quickly dispersed.

At the spot.

The vehicle was gone, leaving only a tall figure.

Jessica Jones's single ponytail swayed lightly in the wind, while her long legs, wrapped in black stockings, stood straight and firm.

A pair of silver Knuckle Dusters gleamed brilliantly on her hands.

Honestly, before she opened her mouth, she really did look cool.

Even Ye Li, who had already driven far away, praised her. "Jessica looks pretty handsome when she gets serious."

The next second.

Jessica Jones charged straight at the Lizard Man!

"Knightress has arrived!"

"Big lizard, take this!"

"..."

Ye Li rubbed his forehead. Fine, she ruined it the moment she opened her mouth...

Even though her shouting was embarrassing.

Jessica Jones's movements were still crisp and efficient.

The moment she closed in on the Lizard Man, she unleashed a soaring kick that tore through the air!

Jessica Jones was 1.7 meters tall, and more than a meter of that was legs.

Combined with Ye Li's special training.

When she raised her leg high, her legs formed a diagonal split, rising above her own head.

Though the Lizard Man was huge, she still managed to strike its pointed jaw from the very edge of her reach.

Bang—!

With that dull impact, the battle officially began.

After learning the martial arts Ye Li had taught her, Jessica Jones's fights against Superpowered Individuals had become much more structured. Combined with her powerful physique, she fought with ease.

Other than a few holes rubbed into her stockings, she was practically unscathed.

"Jessica has gotten so strong."

Watching from the car, Gwen Stacy felt like she had learned a lot too—Jessica had said Li had guided her. She wondered when Li would come to find her.

On the street, the valiant figure darted and shifted through the fight. Her flashy combat techniques made the spectators feel as if they were watching a blockbuster, and they cheered while pulling out their phones to record.

"So cool! Knightress!"

"Take down that monster!"

"Go!"

Jessica Jones had truly gained a huge wave of popularity this time.

"Hah!"

Perhaps because she had seen Ye Li knock Rhino unconscious with a single punch last time.

Her Knuckle Dusters and kicking techniques all targeted the Lizard Man's head.

It was the right strategy.

With its hard scales and powerful regeneration, attacks anywhere else on the Lizard Man were largely harmless.

Only by focusing on its head could she make it dizzy.

And under Jessica Jones's barrage of fists and kicks, the beastly instinct in the Lizard Man's eyes gradually faded, allowing some human reason to return.

It shook its head and spat out a few words. "I... what... genes..."

"It can talk?" Jessica Jones planted a foot on its chest, then pushed off to pull away.

Just as she was about to assess the situation, the Lizard Man suddenly turned its head and scampered away in the opposite direction.

"Trying to run!" Jessica Jones was no slouch either, and caught up after several huge leaps.

But when the Lizard Man reached a sewer entrance, it lifted the manhole cover and crawled down.

The moment Jessica Jones landed beside the opening, the stench hit her in the face.

"Ugh, it reeks."

She put away her Knuckle Dusters and fanned the air with her little hand. "Forget it. I'm not chasing it."

A certain superhero wrapped up work on the spot because she did not want to crawl into a sewer.

Vroom—

With a smooth drift, Ye Li pulled the car up beside Jessica Jones. "Get in, Jessica. You did very well this time. We're already an hour late. It's time to go to school."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Jessica Jones hurriedly got into the car and fled the scene.

"How was I? How was I?"

Having received Ye Li's approval this time, Jessica Jones was delighted. She proudly said to Gwen Stacy and Skye, "I protected the citizens of New York City."

"Jessica, you were amazing!"

Skye's eyes sparkled with stars. "That lizard monster was so huge, but you dealt with it so easily!"

"I was worried about you at first."

She had already been interested in the extraordinary, and watching Jessica Jones fight so fiercely from such close range had truly excited her.

Having a Superpowered Individual as a friend was wonderful!

"Your popularity is already catching up to Ghost-Spider's."

Gwen Stacy took out her phone and showed it to Jessica Jones. Raising an eyebrow at her, she smiled. "The internet is full of videos of your fight now. Some people are even calling you Valkyrie."
