Two days ago, he was a lone figure facing much skepticism. In just two days, he proved himself with consecutive first-place finishes, and with a wave of his hand, he could choose any followers he wanted.

As Sun Liang walked away, he scoffed, "D-Rank? Don't bother calling me next time it's this kind of trash."

Although he said that, his actions spoke louder than words. He raised his hand and gathered a fireball. Although there weren't many D-Rank people, his score was too close to that of Xue Ping, who ranked second. 100 points was still points!

Remembering the score difference between the two on the leaderboard, a shadow crossed Sun Liang's eyes. He only needed to conjure a small fireball, but with a bang, a huge ball appeared. In the firelight, a shadow quickly swept past him. When the shadow passed, the green-haired Polluted's body was decapitated, and a figure stood beside the Polluted.

Did he... get his monster stolen?

Silence.

The fireball in Sun Liang's hand was still burning, and the firelight reflected on his face, making his appearance look particularly terrifying.

The superhuman next to him snapped out of his daze and yelled, "Who are you? Don't you know the rules? These are the Polluted we're here to kill!"

Ye Jiang stood next to the green-haired Polluted, her brows furrowed slightly as she wondered—was this really a D-Rank Polluted? Was it really not a high-scoring Polluted? Had she made another mistake? Although it was considered high-scoring compared to the previous two days.

She truly lacks any ability to distinguish between Polluted.

She admitted it, dejectedly.

Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?

Ye Jiang wasn't deaf; she just didn't want to pay attention to them. She had the ability to automatically filter out things she didn't want to hear or couldn't understand.

"You're really bold! You dare to steal anyone's fruit! Open your eyes wide and look over there, who's that? Who's that?"

Ye Jiang didn't look at the superhuman who was yelling at her; her eyes were deep and unfathomable.

She habitually blocks out some noise, but this group was still a bit too noisy.

"Mine."

She said.

She was the one who first discovered the Polluted; the Polluted was the first to enter her hunting range.

She didn't want to talk to them, but they made her very unhappy.

"Pfft, it's you."

Sun Liang recognized Ye Jiang. He had already put away the fireball, and his face was as black as ink.

Ye Jiang recognized the person from the sneer and finally had some impression of him.

"Woman, are you a speed-type ability user?" Sun Liang said, each word laced with hatred. "Why did you, a perfectly good woman, have to awaken a speed-type ability?"

Sun Liang really liked this woman; she was very much to his liking. But unfortunately, he hated speed-type ability users even more and couldn't stand looking at them at all!

Sun Liang Liangtai

He raised his hand, flames gathering at his fingertips, his eyes gleaming with venom. "Woman, don't be a speed-type ability user in your next life."

The superhuman beside him sensed something, his eyes flickered, and he stammered, "Brother Sun, you can... you can do it, but don't kill... kill..."

Don't kill anyone.

Murder is going too far.

Sun Liang sneered, "You're going to report me?"

Several followers shook their heads vigorously.

"I doubt you'd have the guts," Sun Liang said sharply, "If you dare to go around spreading rumors, I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the back of the head with a club.

"I... I..."

Sun Liang's eyes twitched, the flame at his fingertips suddenly went out, and his body swayed back and forth.

Ye Jiang threw away the rotten wood she had casually picked up and patted the crumbs off her hands.

These people talk too much, they just keep babbling on and on.

This person wants to kill her?

Why kill her if you're not going to kill the Polluted? She doesn't have any points on her.

Ye Jiang pouted, made a phone call to Xiao Pei, and complained, "Boss, someone wants to kill me."

There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Ye Jiang looked at her phone, suspecting it was broken, when Xiao Pei's voice finally came through. "... Is he still alive?"

Ye Jiang said, "Yes, I just felt dizzy."

She said she had been wandering around for a long time without encountering a single Polluted. When she finally did, the polluter robbed her, but she managed to get him back. The polluter was unreasonable and tried to kill her, but she refused to let him.

She spoke in a flat tone, but rambled on about too many irrelevant things, so it sounded a little like... complaining.

Xiao Pei listened quietly on the phone, and after listening, she said in a voice tinged with a sigh, "Give me a photo of that person, I'll handle it."

Although their Ability Control Bureau doesn't handle human crimes, the grievances keep coming to their doorstep.

Ye Jiang's displeasure vanished after receiving her boss's reply. She finally asked, "Do we need any eyewitnesses?"

"If there are any," Xiao Pei said, then added, as if remembering something, "Um, Waiter, generally speaking, eyewitnesses are alive, human beings."

Her Waiter was a guy with an unusual way of thinking, she had to add, lest the eyewitness she encountered turn out to be completely different from what she expected.

Ye Jiang replied inexplicably, "I know."

She said, "Boss, you're really strange."

Xiao Pei: "..."

Who's the weird one here?!

Ye Jiang hung up the phone and looked at the few "quails" next to her. The "quails" were huddled together. Their Brother Sun, who was number one on the leaderboard, was lying on the ground. This scene was a huge shock to them. Brother Sun, the number one, had been taken down so easily.

This world is changing so fast! Were speed-type ability users really this powerful?

They didn't dare run; that was the domain of speed-type ability users, and they couldn't possibly outrun them. So, they could only...

Those with superpowers, raise your hands:

"Hero, spare my life!"

Xiao Pei arrived at the location the Waiter had sent her and saw several superhumans guarding an unconscious superhuman. The superhuman's nostrils were completely blocked with sand and dirt, and she didn't know why he was in such a miserable state.

Xiao Pei recognized the unconscious man; his name was Sun Liang, the winner of this Hunting Tournament. The others next to him were probably eyewitnesses found by the Waiter.

They didn't run away.

I have no idea what they've been through to become so obedient.

The superhumans. "..."

I don't want to bring up the past.

They were simply threatened and happened to be frightened, that's all.

Chapter 61: Working Together to Pick Up a Humanoid Detection Bead.

Ye Jiang stood before a Polluted, her assessing gaze cold and indifferent. What level of Polluted was this? Was his score high?

"Stop!" "Stop!"

A series of loud, unusual sounds approached from afar; judging from the sound, it seemed to be human beings with supernatural abilities chasing after something.

Is there a large shipment?

Ye Jiang's eyes flickered slightly. Ignoring the Polluted still in front of her, she turned her head sharply. The Polluted, which had been ignored, roared furiously and threw punches at Ye Jiang like the wind. Ye Jiang didn't even look at it and easily dodged them.

The commotion in the distance grew closer, and suddenly a large group of people were chasing after a... well, a person, a chestnut-haired boy clutching a straw hat and desperately trying to escape.

"Stop! If you don't stop, we'll get physical!"

"No way, only a fool would stop!"

The boy's legs moved even faster, enraging one of the superhumans who, unable to contain himself, hurled a barrage of wind blades at the boy. The blades struck near the boy's feet, nearly severing them. The boy jumped up in fright, his cat-like eyes wide, and saw Ye Jiang, crying out, "Sister, help! Murder!"

Ye Jiang: "..."

It turns out they weren't high-score Polluted.

Ye Jiang pursed her lips, feeling disappointed. This disappointment led her to throw a punch at the Polluted again in anger. Bang! The Polluted's head exploded with a loud bang, and tissue fluid splattered like a torrential rain.

So crispy.

The result of this light punch made Ye Jiang even more frustrated; it seemed to be another low score.

The light drizzle caused the group chasing the boy to abruptly stop and fall silent. The brutal scene made them realize that the seemingly frail woman in front of them actually possessed extraordinary strength. The boy, as if he hadn't sensed anything, darted towards Ye Jiang, hid behind her, and, as if he had found a backer, winked and taunted the superpowered individuals chasing him.

The superpowered individuals chasing the boy felt their blood pressure rise and their chests heave rapidly. Seeing that the expert hadn't driven the boy away, suggesting they did know each other, and with a myriad of thoughts swirling in their minds, they finally exchanged a glance and chose to back down. Before leaving, they menacingly threatened the boy, "You brat, if you dare to sell such awful food and scam people again, you'll regret it!"

Now that he had a powerful backer, the boy became arrogant. "How is that fraud? I never said my lunchboxes were delicious! I was just advertising them as convenient and time-saving!"

"You!"

What about me?

Ye Jiang's naturally lowered hand twitched. The superhumans' expressions changed, and they dared not say anything more. They glared at the boy and quickly retreated.

They were a team and bought the boy's lunchbox, but the lunchbox was extremely unpalatable, making their stomachs suffer. After finishing, they ran into the boy again. The boy, unaware of their predicament, smiled and tried to sell them his food, which infuriated them. They wanted to teach him a lesson, but the boy, like a rabbit, threw down his cart and ran away. He was quite fast, and he also had a powerful backer.

never mind.

Be patient, be patient.

What good is it if you can't bear it? Didn't you see that the boy's cold-faced backer was about to make a move?

The team of superhumans scattered in all directions, Ye Jiang moved her hands... to shake off the dirt.

The sticky skin of the Polluted she had just smashed had gotten all over her hand.

Huh, why did all those people run away?

As Ye Jiang was wondering, the boy behind her circled around to the front, chattering like a little sparrow. "Sister, sister, you're so kind! Thank you for saving me. I have no way to repay you, so I bring you lunch every day!"

Ye Jiang: "."

She said, "Don't sell boxed lunches anymore."

The boy said dejectedly, "I don't seem to have any talent for business..."

Ye Jiang agreed in her heart, so she didn't respond.
