Ranking: A flurry of fierce moves.

Ye Jiang listened to the sales pitch for a bit, and felt a little dizzy when she left the registration point. All she could think about were the staff's bright smiles.

A deposit is required to register and receive the wristband. The wristband can be returned after the competition. If the wristband is damaged, only half of the deposit will be refunded. Ye Jiang didn't think much of it. She actually quite liked the wristband. It was more convenient to carry than a mobile phone.

As she was examining the bracelet, someone approached her.

"Hey, woman."

The newcomer was the B-Rank ability user who was next to Ye Jiang when she registered.

Ye Jiang looked up, and the superhuman extended an invitation to her. "Want to cooperate?"

Ye Jiang: "?"

The B-Rank ability user said, "The arena for this competition is the A-S Wilderness Zone, which hasn't been cleaned in a long time. The Polluted are all partying there. You know how dangerous it is. If we cooperate, we can increase the safety level."

The A-S Wilderness Zone is the wilderness area between City A and City S. Ye Jiang just returned from there.

Ye Jiang had absolutely no intention of cooperating with this person, but she was curious why he wanted to cooperate with her, so she asked, "How would we cooperate?"

The superhuman said, "We'll team up to kill the Polluted. I'll finish it off. I've checked, and this is how teams can be formed in the competition. The points will go to the person who lands the final blow, but teams can't have more than ten members."

Ye Jiang said, "If we win the prize money, shall we split it equally?"

"Pfft." The superhuman couldn't help but scoff. "How is that possible? The prize money is mine, and I'll give you a thousand a day for your hard work."

He glared at Ye Jiang, his eyes practically screaming, "You're not worthy!" He said, "Anyway, a D-Rank ability user like you has no chance of getting the bonus. You're aiming for Yun Hua, so every little bit helps, right? By the way, what kind of ability user are you? If it's healing, I can give you a first-year high school education..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Jiang turned and left. So this was how cooperation worked.

As she left, a shadow crossed the superhuman's eyes, but he didn't stop her. He spat disdainfully at her retreating figure. She'd really think she was something. If it weren't for the fact that she was quite attractive, he wouldn't have wasted his time looking for her! He was a high-attack fire-type B-Rank superhuman, a sure-fire frontrunner!

That woman was really quite attractive. When he heard the neighbor announce that she was D-Rank, he couldn't help but scoff. When he looked over, he was surprised to find that she was actually quite to his liking. She had delicate features, but a melancholic air about her, which gave her a strange and unique charm.

They're just so clueless.

The superhuman cursed inwardly as he left the registration point and walked into a street. His eyes unconsciously darted towards the pretty women in the crowd. Just as he spotted one, a bucket of dirty water was suddenly poured over his head, the stench almost making him faint.

The bustling street immediately fell silent, and everyone stared at him in surprise.

The superhuman's face twitched a few times, and he looked up in extreme anger. A Little Thief was frantically running and leaping between the tall buildings, moving very fast, and was about to disappear from his sight!

Speed esper?

"Where do you think you're going!"

He shouted and gave chase.

The superhuman chased the thief into a small alley, but the Little Thief quickly disappeared, fueling the superhuman's anger.

Suddenly, a white rope appeared in front of him, swaying lightly in front of his reddened eyes.

The superhuman looked up, and the slender rope seemed to fall from the clouds in the Sky, with no end in sight, swaying gently in the wind.

What is it?

The superhuman tried to dodge, but felt the rope transform into a woman's soft hand, beckoning to him. He uncontrollably reached out and grasped the rope. The moment he touched it, he snapped back to reality and froze.

His expression changed several times, but in the end he didn't let go; instead, he pulled hard.

What's there to be afraid of, a high-attack B-Rank ability user?!

The moment he pulled, he was on high alert, wary of any unforeseen events—whoosh—countless butterflies flew out of the Sky, swirling and dancing around his Sky, creating a dazzling spectacle.

"..."

Danger lingered, and only butterflies fluttered about.

The superhuman's temple throbbed, and he flung the rope away. "What the hell is that?!"

Are you kidding him?

Absolutely terrible!

He strode away, and then he heard the wind whistling behind him. Looking at the empty alley, he grinned maliciously, having anticipated this. "Finally coming out? You all dared to play me? I'll kill you!"

Without even looking, he turned around and unleashed a blazing fire serpent.

However, no one was there.

It's a butterfly.

The butterflies in the sky flew towards him, and the fire snakes scorched the swarm of butterflies. The superhuman's lips curled into a smile, but the next second he froze. The butterflies, as if invisible, passed through the fire snakes unimpeded and rushed towards him. One by one, the butterflies crashed into him and disappeared.

The fire serpent was extinguished, the butterfly vanished, and the superhuman appeared dazed. A few seconds later, he began attacking himself.

On a rooftop beside the alley, a boy sat atop a butterfly that landed on his hair. He didn't look down at the Polluted roasting themselves below, but instead gazed up at the Sky.

This human doesn't understand romance.

He was somewhat bored and disappointed.

"Aaaaaah!"

The faint scream made Ye Jiang stop in her tracks. She listened intently, but the scream disappeared again. She paused, about to leave, when in the next second she was gone, darting to the street corner and slamming the head of someone who was hiding there and following her against the wall.

"B-Boss, it's me!"

Wang Zhiqiang raised his hands in surrender. Ye Jiang looked at his face; it was a familiar face. She then released him.

Ye Jiang waited for his explanation.

Wang Zhiqiang's heart was pounding in his chest; facing Ye Jiang up close filled him with indescribable fear and excitement.

"B-Boss, I've also signed up for Xingyi Technology's competition. I... I want to follow you!" Wang Zhiqiang said, mustering his courage. He was injured in the final group attack during the City S incident. Originally, he was required to serve in the Ability Control Bureau for a period of time after he went to City S without permission, but he was considered to have performed meritorious service that time. After the Ability Control Bureau took him to City A for treatment, they released him.

After leaving the hospital, he felt a bit lost and didn't know where to go. He heard about Xingyi Technology's advertisement and decided to go to the competition venue to kill time. Unexpectedly, he ran into a big shot at the registration desk. In that instant, he felt at peace. He could see the road ahead again. He had to continue following the big shot!

Seeing the big shot being harassed by a disgusting superhuman, he got angry, chased after him, and threw a bucket of dirty water at him, feeling relieved afterward.

Wang Zhiqiang didn't intend to tell the big boss about these things; that wasn't important. He simply said, "Big boss, let me team up with you!"

Ye Jiang stared at him intently. "How much do you want to pay me per day? A thousand?"

Wang Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then became very excited. "How could I dare to think that way? I'm following you, the points are yours, the results are yours, I don't want anything!"

All you need is a spot next to the big shot.

Ye Jiang: "..."

This person is really strange.

She thought this person was like the other superhuman, wanting her to work for him, but he didn't want anything?

She needs to stay away from strange people.

She said expressionlessly, "I don't need teammates."

I refused!

a bolt from the blue!

Wang Zhiqiang slumped his shoulders, instantly looking as dejected as an abandoned stray dog. Well, the big boss is... someone who can alter other people's abilities; of course he doesn't need a nobody like him following him. He's really shameless.

You have to be stronger, at least stronger, to be worthy of standing behind her!

Wang Zhiqiang's eyes suddenly hardened. "I understand, boss!"

He took one last lingering look at Ye Jiang, then activated his supernatural power and left, hiding far away in the shadows, not wanting his weak self to get in the way of that powerful being.

Ye Jiang: "..."

This person's brain is getting worse and worse.

Is it really impossible to treat?

She stood there, deep in thought, when suddenly a rope floated down before her. The white rope hung from the sky, its other end nowhere in sight.

Um?

Ye Jiang raised her eyes, pulled the rope without thinking too much, and didn't take the danger behind it seriously at all, or rather, she subconsciously didn't care about the so-called danger.

With a pull, a school of small blue fish appeared, swimming leisurely in the high sky, making the azure Sky seem like a deep blue sea.

Ye Jiang's eyes lit up, and she looked up to watch.

In a nearby building, a boy rested his chin on his hand and leaned against the window. When he saw her reaction, his beautiful cat-like eyes curved into a smile, revealing two adorable little dimples on his cheeks.

Ye Jiang gently pulled the rope again, and the little fish disappeared. Darkness fell, and she drew out a patch of night sky and stars.

Footsteps sounded. Ye Jiang was reluctant to leave the dreamy starry sky above, but she still looked away to see who it was. She suspected that the sick thief had returned. However, when she looked down, what came into her view was a man she had never seen before. Under the starry sky, the man was surrounded by a faint glow. He was handsome, cold, and noble. She didn't know where he came from, and he had a faint scent of green pine on him.

In the building next door, the boy watched this scene with shining eyes. He raised his hand and drew a frame, and the image automatically filled the frame, turning into a photograph that landed between his fingers.

Chapter 58's ranking was a flurry of activity, as fierce as a tiger.

It's not Wang Zhiqiang.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Jiang, confirming that the Little Thief wasn't mentally ill, calmly looked away and turned her gaze back to the Sky. Compared to the humans she had never appreciated, the scenery up there suited her taste much better.

The footsteps didn't fade away; they stopped a short distance away. Ye Jiang felt she was being watched, and the scent of pine resin wafted through the air, faint and indistinct.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jiang asked, looking up at the Sky.

The man stared at her, his eyes reflecting the glacier, a cold glint in them.

He had an overly refined face, his features were so sculpted that they lost something, making him look like a cold sculpture, with an inhuman indifference and an overwhelming sense of distance.
