That's it.

That special water arrow... is here!

Xiao Pei's hand gripping the chains trembled slightly, a mixture of fear and excitement she couldn't quite tell. She stared intently at the special water arrow; all the other water arrows around her had frozen in mid-air. The female warrior's voice was hoarse. "Waiter, the one you're holding..."

Before the words were finished, the water arrow changed, melting into a droplet of water from which thick, black liquid oozed out, sprouting evil tentacles that reached out towards the hand holding it, burrowing into the flesh as if they were alive.

"Um?"

Ye Jiang lowered her head, staring at the tentacles emerging from the water clump. A hint of dark red shone through her dark pupils. The tentacles recoiled abruptly as if sensing danger, merging into the water clump. The filthy water clump transformed into a fluid that slipped from her palm, instantly turning into a water arrow and mixing in. At the same time, countless water arrows stirred again. Xiao Pei didn't waste a moment, chasing after the peculiar water arrow. The battle was triggered once more, and the S-Rank clash caused the sky to change color.

Ye Jiang stood still, staring down at her hands. After a long while, she moved, as if her hands had been dirtied, and wiped them on her clothes. Then, with a cold expression, she entered the rain of arrows, her movements as swift as a ghost, splashing water and shattering water arrows wherever she went.

Xiao Pei was splashed with water. Her gaze swept around and she noticed something unusual. The water arrows around her were disappearing rapidly. Someone was destroying the water arrows with their bare hands. The speed was too fast, faster than the water arrows could regenerate, faster than the sight of an S-Rank ability user. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the Waiter... Ye Jiang who did it.

Her expression was blank, as if she didn't understand what she was seeing, and she even stopped attacking.

The superhumans from the wilderness area arrived one after another and witnessed the clearly biased battle. They came to help, but it was obvious that it was not needed, so they all turned into a group of people who were full of energy.

"Captain Xiao is awesome!"

"S-Rank superhumans are awesome!"

"Wait, isn't that Captain Xiao standing there without moving?"

"???"

"If it's not Captain Xiao fighting, then... who's that person chasing after the S-Rank Polluted?"

"..."

Ye Jiang grabbed a water arrow, but this time she didn't crush it all as before. Instead, she held the water arrow and examined it closely. The water arrow melted, and a thick, black liquid seeped out. Something fleshy was wriggling in the water clump; it looked familiar, like...

It looked like a cheap patch sewn onto the chest of Mushroom Man.

The feeling of being offended surged again, and she yanked out the rotten flesh-like thing and crushed it violently.

"Squeak!!"

A soul-piercing scream of agony emanated from the water sphere, causing the remaining water arrows in the air to tremble and fall a second later. The water that landed gathered into a giant human shape, but before it could fully form, it disintegrated and evaporated, leaving behind a trail of white vapor.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The members of the Ability Control Bureau who were watching covered their ears and looked at each other, wondering what had happened. Xiao Pei was standing closest, knew. She saw it. She saw Ye Jiang crush a piece of black, rotten flesh in the special water sphere that carried the consciousness of the Invisible Man, and then the malice and pressure of the S-Rank Polluted disappeared.

The white mist dissipated, and the Polluted was no longer visible in the wilderness.

The Polluted... is dead?

It appears he is dead.

The Pollution is gone, the malice is gone, the oppressive aura is gone; he must be dead.

Is that piece of rotten flesh the "source of life" for the Invisible Man?

The Polluted was killed by... Ye Jiang? By a D-Rank ability user?

Xiao Pei's bewilderment deepened.

"Waiter, you..." Xiao Pei murmured, her Adam's apple bobbing, "You killed the Invisible Man?"

Ye Jiang was looking at the dirt on her hands when she heard this and looked up. "?"

She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Xiao Pei wiped her face and admitted with a weary expression that the Waiter was a much more special person than she had imagined; she was ridiculously strong, far beyond A-Rank!

Xiao Pei did not participate in the wilderness cleanup mission that day. She stayed in place to observe and finally concluded that the S-Rank Polluted was indeed dead. Ye Jiang's name spread into the city and was eagerly discussed among the people in the shelter.

"She killed the Invisible Man, an S-Rank Polluted!"

"She saved our entire city!"

"She's amazing!"

The Ability Control Bureau's cleanup mission took three days to complete. During those three days, there was no trace of the Invisible Man in the wilderness; he seemed to be dead. The Operations Team members withdrew from the now clean and desolate wilderness with peace of mind.

In the desolate wilderness, an old tree, half-damaged by war, swayed in the wind. A drop of water fell from its leaf, dripping and spreading as it landed, eventually forming a pool of water. Water seeped from the ground and gathered into a puddle. Suddenly, a hand emerged from the water, its skin pale, but one finger was blood-red, clearly bearing the symbol of a Blood Moon.

A human emerged from the water. He was a young man with regular features, dark eyes, and pale skin. He curiously turned his head, revealing light blue water ripples on his neck.

He looked down at his reflection in the water, saw what he looked like "before he died," and froze.

After a while, he let out a low "wow".

"... I was really saved again."

With a thought, his human form vanished, transforming into a puddle of water that swiftly swam across the wilderness.

He wants to go into the city.

He went to see the friend who had saved him.

Chapter 82: Domination 3 salted fish, but can Domination S-Rank...

Despite experiencing an attack by S-Rank Polluted just days ago, City A has not fallen into despair. On the contrary, it is enveloped in a warm and festive atmosphere. S-Rank Polluted? What are they? They have super-powerful Healer!

The city is celebrating the birth of a super strongman, even more enthusiastically than when Xingyi Technology's competition ended.

"She can crush S-Rank Polluted's arrow with her bare hands."

"Her movement skills are even better than those of S-Rank superhuman."

"She possesses exceptional defense; attacks from S-Rank Polluted are merely a drop in the ocean for her."

"She crushed the life source of S-Rank Polluted with a single hand."

Just as Ye Jiang was about to leave the building, she heard several elderly people sitting together downstairs talking loudly. Her expressionless face instantly tightened a little. After listening for a while, she silently withdrew the foot she was about to step out.

The neighbors in this building were unaware that the person they were talking about lived in the same building. If they had known...

Ye Jiang stopped imagining and quietly returned to her apartment; there was no way she could leave through that door.

These past two days, Ye Jiang has heard similar conversations every time she goes out. At first, she didn't realize they were talking about her, and she even curiously went over to listen to the gossip. As you can imagine, the citizens recognized her face, were stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed and surrounded her.

She became so famous! She was slow to realize it.

According to the citizens, her friend, the Invisible Man, was a rare S-Rank Polluted, and the top-level alert three days ago was actually issued for him. Meanwhile, she herself was a super strong person who could tear S-Rank Invisible Man apart with her bare hands. What a huge misunderstanding!

The Invisible Man might be S-Rank Polluted, a fact Ye Jiang doubted but could gradually accept, however...

She did not tear apart the S-Rank Polluted.

Her Polluted friend is probably still alive and well.

That day in the wilderness, the boss suddenly thought for some reason that she had killed the Invisible Man. She wouldn't have done something so cruel; she had only cleaned the dirt off the Invisible Man. The Invisible Man himself was perfectly fine right there beside her. Why did she say he was dead?

She was clearly still alive, yet she was presumed dead. Ye Jiang couldn't understand the Ability Control Bureau's standards for determining life and death, but she hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, tacitly agreeing with her boss's statement. It seemed her boss had gotten into a fight with her friend, and she wouldn't feel at ease unless she killed him, so this kind of concealment was the best course of action.

In conclusion, tearing S by hand

The idea of a "level Polluted" is a complete misunderstanding.

Ye Jiang returned to her apartment. Unable to leave quietly, she relived the days she had just woken up in the hospital, an electronic device in one hand and a small snack in the other. She stared blankly at a rather uninteresting movie when someone knocked on the window. Looking up, she saw a stream of water flowing in through a crack in the window, landing on the table, standing upright, and swaying towards Ye Jiang like seaweed. The Invisible Man, so terrifying in the public eye, had returned; he wasn't dead, he was perfectly alive.

"Friend!" the Invisible Man called out as soon as he entered the room, his voice full of energy.

He flew over like a flying carpet, wanting to give Ye Jiang a warm, enveloping hug.

However, Ye Jiang didn't want to get her clothes wet, so she dodged to the side and refused him. The flying water blanket, used to her indifference, hugged the empty body and then magically transformed in mid-air. A body with a nose, eyes, and limbs emerged from the water and quickly pulled the tablecloth over itself. Ye Jiang was unusually stunned for a moment.

The Invisible Man, unable to hug his important friend, looked sorrowful. Ignoring his intense gaze, Ye Jiang asked, "What happened to you?"

This question immediately made the Invisible Man forget his sorrow. He enthusiastically stretched out his arms and legs to Ye Jiang, and even struck a classic bodybuilder pose to show off his somewhat thin muscles. His physique was more like that of a frail scholar, and had nothing to do with bodybuilding. Even so, it was his precious possession, and he treasured it dearly.

He gestured wildly, and despite being a symbol of death and terror in the eyes of the citizens, he seemed utterly unrefined and cheerful.

Ye Jiang watched him go crazy, and after the "Invisible Man" demonstration was over, she finally threw out a reply, "I don't know, I want to know too."

He stared at Ye Jiang expectantly and asked, "Ye Jiang, do you know?"

He said, "I think it's your masterpiece."

Ye Jiang: "..."

She didn't think so.

"Tell me more about how you obtained the body," Ye Jiang said.

The Invisible Man recalled, "I just felt a surge of power within my body, my consciousness returned, and then hands, feet, and a body grew back on their own."

He thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Perhaps for those Polluted, once their power reaches a certain level, if they subconsciously desire to be human, they can reshape their bodies."
