Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

At this moment.

Under the pressure of death.

Zhao Xiaoying gazed at the three sharp tail hairs, and the "heat" throughout her body instantly boiled over.

A burst of explosive power, coming from nowhere, surged within her.

The Long-legged Sister naturally performed her most common and favorite move—a roundhouse kick.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind rose up around her out of thin air.

Zhao Xiaoying pivoted on her left foot, swung her right leg, and spun her body, delivering a fierce kick.

"Bang!"

There was an explosive sound.

The sound was comparable to firecrackers.

The "heat" inside the Long-legged Sister's body seemed to find an outlet and gushed out.

Zhao Xiaoying instinctively and rapidly shook her long legs three times as if guided by intuition.

"Pah! Pah!"

Three muffled bangs followed.

She distinctly sensed that every time she shook her leg, a crescent-shaped peculiar force flew out.

The Long-legged Sister also sensed that the crescent contained exceptionally strong destructive power.

At that moment.

She suddenly saw Bucktooth's three tail hairs, which had softened and floated lightly to the ground.

The three crescents swept past, slicing the three tails into six segments.

Zhao Xiaoying was momentarily stunned, then instantly understood everything.

She immediately retracted her long legs.

As her thoughts shifted, the three "crescents" disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Xiaolong looked at his sister, then turned to glance at Bucktooth, his face filled with confusion.

Due to the rapid unfolding of events, the boy couldn't quite grasp what had happened.

"Squeak!"

Bucktooth let out a sound and gleefully flicked its fluffy tail.

Earlier, its tail had bristled, each hair as hard as a needle, but now it returned to a soft and fluffy state.

Zhao Xiaoying's pretty face revealed a smile as she softly said, "Thank you very much for your help!"

She had completely understood that Bucktooth was indeed helping her.

The intense stimulation between life and death helped her activate her superpower potential to the fullest, leading to a more thorough awakening.

The Long-legged Sister had seen many "superpower out of control" videos online.

Many superpower users, upon awakening, couldn't control their powers, causing significant destruction to their surroundings.

But from the moment she awakened, she could control her superpower well.

This was the evidence.

By this time.

Zhao Xiaolong finally grasped the situation and tentatively asked, "Sis, that kick earlier was so fast that I couldn't even see its shadow. Did you awaken a superpower?"

Zhao Xiaoying kept her expression calm, and her tone was very serene: "Yes."

Zhao Xiaolong was stunned for several seconds before showing a look of ecstatic joy: "That's wonderful!"

His next words revealed his true intentions: "Our family is going to live well!"

It was well-known that if anyone in the family awakened a superpower, the whole family could enjoy a prosperous life.

The Zhao Family used to be quite affluent in Tintera, but after returning to Great Xia, their standard of living dropped by a tier.

Although Zhao Xiaolong was young, how could he not have some thoughts?

Zhao Xiaoying did not engage her brother further, and instead gestured to Bucktooth: "Let's go, back to the room!"

"Squeak!"

Bucktooth squeaked.

It darted over at lightning speed and stood steadily on the Long-legged Sister's right shoulder.

Zhao Xiaolong was once again dumbfounded.

His vision couldn't keep up with the squirrel's speed; he only felt that Bucktooth "teleported" to his sister's side.

The young boy swallowed and couldn't help but ask, "Sis, did Bucktooth awaken too?"

Zhao Xiaoying did not answer but turned and walked into her room.

"Bang!"

The door was shut.

Leaving Zhao Xiaolong standing outside in disbelief.

Only then did he belatedly realize that the series of events occurring in his home might not be so simple.

After a moment.

Zhao Xiaolong regained his composure and grinned foolishly: "My sister is a superpower user now!"

Inside the room.

Zhao Xiaoying and Bucktooth stared at each other.

The Long-legged Sister pondered and decided to be direct: "Tell me, do you have something to do with the Fishmonger?"

The girl knew that the neighbor downstairs was definitely not a simple fishmonger, but she was accustomed to calling him that at home.

She spoke eloquently: "Just now I was at a very delicate moment, on the verge of awakening my superpower, but it was stuck.

"I now realize that if I hadn't taken that step promptly, even if I awakened, I wouldn't have been this strong.

"You suddenly shot three needles at me at the critical moment, precisely stimulating my superpower and helping me take that crucial step.

"Though I don't know much about superpowers, I do know that an ordinary superpower user wouldn't have such keen insight.

"Utilizing the brink of life and death to greatly stimulate potential isn't a commonplace technique.

"It's something only the strongest among superpower users—perhaps the very elite—can achieve."

Zhao Xiaoying took a breath and continued: "Bucktooth, you used to be just an ordinary squirrel, so likely you couldn't have this ability."

Bucktooth widened its eyes, looking adorably cute.

Back then, the Long-legged Sister fell for this "cuteness attack" and brought Bucktooth home in a daze.

This time, she wasn't fooled.

Zhao Xiaoying ignored its cuteness: "The more I think about it, the more I can only think of one person— the Fishmonger."

She pointed downstairs as she spoke.

Bucktooth maintained its "I'm just a clueless squirrel" demeanor.

Zhao Xiaoying's expression was a bit nuanced: "Yesterday I met the Fishmonger downstairs, and he said I would awaken in a few days.

"He's a very mysterious person and the only one with a reason to help me.

"You suddenly awakened and became a mutated creature; I believe it's very likely related to the Fishmonger."

Bucktooth remained silent.

The squirrel was deeply surprised inside.

Because the Long legged Sister indeed guessed correctly, it obtained the Spirit Beast Mark bestowed by its master, transforming into a mutant creature.

Zhao Xiaoying said earnestly, "I swear to you, I will keep my mouth shut and never speak about the fishmonger's business to anyone."

Bucktooth blinked its eyes, wagged its tail a few times, and continued to act cute towards the Long legged Sister.

Zhao Xiaoying sighed and finally gave up questioning.

No way!

Since Bucktooth refused to talk, she couldn't exactly dissect the squirrel's head to find the answer, right?

The Long legged Sister pursed her lips like a little girl, puffed out her cheeks, and huffed, "So mysterious!"

This sentence was obviously not directed at Bucktooth.

The room was quiet for a while.

"Squeak!"

Bucktooth chirped, breaking the silence.

This chirp didn't have any special meaning.

It was just a simple squeak.

Zhao Xiaoying came back to her senses and said, "I will report to the nation and then join the Jiuzhou Legion. What do you think?"

Bucktooth squeaked.

It was showing that it wholeheartedly agreed with this choice.

Zhao Xiaoying took a deep breath and asked, "Bucktooth, are you willing to come with me?"

Bucktooth nodded vigorously.

Zhao Xiaoying immediately showed a broad smile.

She thought to herself, "One day, I'm going to find out your true identity."

Bucktooth gazed at this strange woman and breathed a big sigh of relief.

It secretly reported, "Master, I've finally managed to deal with this woman."

It hesitated for a moment and added, "Master, it seems this woman knows it's you behind all this."

A few seconds passed.

The reply came: "Don't worry, she won't tell outsiders."

Bucktooth shook its tail.

It thought its master was quite strange too.

*

An hour later.

Director Zhang of the Liren Special Team's Lijiang Branch personally arrived at Zhao Xiaoying's home with a group of people.

A full six or seven people crowded Zhao Family's living room.

Zhao Xiaolong wasn't qualified to be present and was shooed into a small room.

Father Zhao and Mrs. Zhao stood in the corner of the living room, faces filled with tension.

Zhao Xiaoying looked at a piece of black iron plate in front of her and slowly took a stance.

Director Zhang gestured: "Miss Zhao, you can start the demonstration now."

Zhao Xiaoying nodded and suddenly launched a rapid-fire kick.

"Bang!"

It was actually three blasts.

But because the speed was so fast, it sounded like one.

At the same time.

The surface of the black iron plate quietly showed three shallow marks as if scratched by a sharp instrument.

"Clap! Clap!"

A group of Liren personnel collectively applauded.

It was clear they were very pleased with the Long legged Sister's performance.

Director Zhang beamed: "Miss Zhao, based on my experience, your superpower 'Blade Strike,' whether in terms of power or potential, is sufficient to be classified as excellent."

He paused and continued, "Especially your control over your superpower, it's hardly like a novice's, which is a remarkable thing."

Zhao Xiaoying looked puzzled: "I just did a Sky splitting Hand and easily cut through a kitchen knife. How come this iron plate only has a slight mark?"

Director Zhang replied with a smile: "Because this isn't ordinary material."

He explained: "We obtained some very peculiar substances from the Primordial World.

"By smelting them with steel, we created this special alloy, which has a certain defensive effect against force.

"This is the latest achievement of the Great Xia Superpower Research Institute, and we named it 'Anti-Force Alloy.'

This is in fact the result of the Great Xia's research guided by the Mermaid.

As for the so-called 'substance,' it is the Black Sand that drifted from the Sea of Death Black Sand to Canglan Star.

Zhao Xiaoying praised, "Good stuff!"

She knew better than anyone how powerful force is.

The Long legged Sister was very confident she could single-handedly challenge a tank and effortlessly eliminate all personnel inside it.

And the special alloy that can withstand force will definitely play a significant role in the future.

Director Zhang added, "Most newly awakened physical ability users can only leave the slightest marks on the surface when attacking the Anti-Force Alloy.

"But Miss Zhao managed to make such deep marks, which is truly impressive."

Zhao Xiaoying shook her head: "The Anti-Force Alloy made a deeper impression on me."

She knew deep down that all this should be credited to the fishmonger.

Without the fishmonger's help, she would just be one of the 'most physical ability users.'

Director Zhang laughed: "In the supernatural domain, Great Xia is definitely the most powerful country on Canglan Star."

Zhao Xiaoying nodded: "I know, our Great Xia has the world's most powerful superpower user, Mr. Ghost."

Director Zhang was all smiles: "Miss Zhao, outstanding superpower users like you will have the opportunity to learn from Mr. Ghost in the future."

Zhao Xiaoying simply replied, "Oh."

Director Zhang found this a bit strange.

As far as he knew, other superpower users would be overjoyed to hear they had the chance to learn from Mr. Ghost.

But this Miss Zhao's reaction was so calm it surprised him.

Director Zhang would never have imagined that this miss actually wanted more to learn from the fishmonger downstairs.

He changed the topic: "Miss Zhao, according to the rules, you need to go to the Capital City for a three-month training. It's best if your family relocates there."

Director Zhang initially thought this miss would be very happy since the Capital City offers very favorable living conditions for superpower users.

However.

He found he was wrong.

Zhao Xiaoying sighed wistfully.

But she didn't oppose, just lightly nodded: "I understand."

Director Zhang was all smiles: "Miss Zhao, with your aptitude, the Jiuzhou Legion will certainly highly value you."

But in his heart, he muttered: "What a peculiar person."
