“Yan Qi, I advise you not to meddle in affairs that don’t concern you. Otherwise, the consequences of certain things might be more than you alone can bear.”
Facing Yan Qi’s interference, Li Yabo spoke to her with a threatening tone.
“Are you threatening me?”
Facing Li Yabo’s threat, she didn’t take him seriously at all. Yan Qi simply crossed her arms and asked him back.
Hearing this, Li Yabo couldn’t help but frown. But thinking that Yan Qi was just an ordinary person, he didn’t worry about it anymore and continued asking her arrogantly.
“As a classmate of Xiao Qing, haven’t you heard her mention that I’m a supernatural being?”
“Of course I’ve heard her say that.”
“Since you’ve heard about it, how dare you talk to me like this? Aren’t you afraid of turning into that iron railing over there?”
As he spoke, Li Yabo used his supernatural power on the iron railings in the nearby park that were used to separate the inside from the outside. In the blink of an eye, the railings twisted into a metal pretzel and fell to the ground with a loud clang.
Looking at the iron railings twisted into a mess not far away, Yan Qi just furrowed her brow slightly. After realizing something, her expression returned to normal, and she kept her previous posture while looking at Li Yabo as she replied.
“I dare to say that, of course, because I have absolute confidence.”
“Absolute confidence? Where would an ordinary person like you get confidence? Yan Qi, if you don’t get out of my way, I won’t be so polite.”
With a light chuckle, completely dismissing what Yan Qi had just said, Li Yabo spoke to her while simultaneously uprooting the iron railings in the distance and gathering them around himself, creating quite an impressive display.
“Xiao Qi, don’t just stand there anymore. Come back to me.”
Having witnessed the entire conflict between Yan Qi and Li Yabo, and seeing Li Yabo now gather dozens of iron railings around himself, Hu Mengqing quickly called out to her. Although she knew very well that Yan Qi was also a supernatural being like him, she wasn’t aware of her actual strength, and she didn’t want Yan Qi to get into a conflict with Li Yabo on her behalf.
“Don’t worry, class monitor. This amateur is no match for me.”
Hearing Hu Mengqing’s words and knowing she was worried about her, but also understanding that her concern was completely unnecessary, Yan Qi said this to her, hoping it would put her at ease.
“You dare say I’m no match for you? Fine, kid. Now you’ll get a taste of my power!”
Hearing Yan Qi’s reply to Hu Mengqing just now and feeling disrespected, Li Yabo felt a surge of intense anger rise within him.
After saying this to Yan Qi as well, he didn’t hesitate to control the iron railings around him and launch an attack at her.
Seeing that Yan Qi was about to suffer Li Yabo’s assault, Hu Mengqing’s face turned pale in an instant. She deeply regretted bringing Yan Qi along with her tonight. If she hadn’t, maybe Yan Qi wouldn’t be clashing with Li Yabo like this.
Just as Hu Mengqing was feeling remorseful over the scene unfolding before her eyes…
Looking at the iron railings flying toward her from all directions, Yan Qi, who was completely confident, showed no trace of fear on her face.
The next second, accompanied by the sound of metal striking a hard object…
Both Li Yabo and Hu Mengqing couldn’t help but show expressions of surprise.
After a long while, Li Yabo finally composed himself. He looked at Yan Qi not far away with a wary gaze, assuming a defensive stance as he spoke.
“So you’re a supernatural being too. No wonder you were so confident earlier. But why can’t I sense your supernatural aura?”
Hearing Li Yabo’s question and noticing the wariness in his eyes and his defensive posture, Yan Qi—now surrounded by a golden glow that had perfectly blocked all of Li Yabo’s attacks earlier—had no intention of answering him. Instead, she replied with a slightly sarcastic tone.
“Weren’t you just saying you’d show me how powerful you are? What’s wrong? Now that you’ve found out I’m a supernatural being, are you chickening out?”
Hearing the sarcasm in Yan Qi’s voice, Li Yabo’s already fragile self-esteem took another serious hit. Then, he angrily responded to Yan Qi.
“How dare you talk to me like that? Fine, now I’ll show you just how powerful I really am. Take this!”
After throwing out those harsh words, Li Yabo once again controlled the iron railings around him, sending them flying toward Yan Qi.
But unlike last time, this time Li Yabo wasn’t trying to use the railings’ momentum to hurt Yan Qi. Instead, he wanted to use his supernatural control to turn the railings into sturdy iron ropes and tie Yan Qi up, making her realize just how formidable he was as a supernatural being.
Watching the aggressively approaching iron railings and knowing that Li Yabo would definitely not use the same trick twice, Yan Qi let out a light snort. Then, she pushed off the ground with one foot, activated the Daoist techniques she had learned—Light Body Art and Wind Control Art—and swiftly flew into the air, dodging Li Yabo’s attack entirely.
“What?!”
Watching Yan Qi stir up wind beneath her feet, leap lightly, and soar high into the sky—dodging all his attacks—Li Yabo, who mistakenly thought she possessed two types of supernatural powers, couldn’t help but gape. He just stood there frozen.
Noticing him down below, completely stunned and having forgotten to control the iron railings around him to continue fighting, Yan Qi didn’t want to waste any more of her precious time on him. She also didn’t want to end up unable to get home on time as she had promised her mother. So, without hesitation, she quickly gathered a Thunder Spell in her hand and struck Li Yabo directly with it.
Watching the Thunder Spell descend from the sky, Li Yabo finally snapped out of his shock, instantly realizing something was wrong.
But by then, he had no time left to dodge Yan Qi’s attack.
So, with a loud boom of thunder, Li Yabo—now sporting an afro and covered in black soot—collapsed onto the ground.
“You… you actually possess three types of supernatural powers. You’re a three-star supernatural being… how is that possible?”
Struggling to lift his head and look at Yan Qi walking toward him, recalling the three different supernatural abilities she had demonstrated right in front of him, and understanding what that meant, Li Yabo spoke with a tone of utter disbelief.
