Zhou Hengyue never said that we couldn't use superpowers, did he?

Mu Qingyun took a few breaths, her left hand flashing green light as she waved it, replenishing her energy.

As her figure receded into the distance, Zhou Hengyue watched and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

This little girl was the first to use her superpowers during his training, so she should be punished to teach her a lesson.

Just as he was thinking about how to punish her, Zhou Hengyue's eyes lit up and he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

After recognizing who it was, he gave a helpless smirk. Well, the family members have arrived.

A flash of coldness crossed his eyes, but a smile appeared on his lips as he strode towards Su Qiluo, who was walking towards him.

"Qiluo".

Su Qiluo looked up at him, nodded in agreement, and at the same time turned her head to look at Mu Qingyun, who was still huffing and puffing as she ran laps. A look of worry flashed across her eyes.

Zhou Hengyue didn't need to follow his gaze to know what he was looking at. "Why are you here?"

"I suddenly realized it was you scolding them, so I came over." He frowned as he watched Mu Qingyun run past him.

At this moment, Mu Qingyun was only running with her plant-based superpowers and her body's instincts, and she had no energy to look to the side. So even though she ran past Su Qiluo, she didn't see him at all.

What is your bizarre request today?

Zhou Hengyue smiled. "Perverted? I don't think so."

“Nonsense, a pervert would never think he’s a pervert.” Su Qiluo glanced lazily at Zhou Hengyue. “She just started training today and didn’t eat breakfast.”

“Oh, right, she didn’t eat breakfast,” Zhou Hengyue’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. “But what does that have to do with me? She didn’t get up this morning, so she deserves it for not eating breakfast.”

As he spoke, the smile on his face faded. "Qi Luo, let me remind you, this is for her own good. You feel sorry for her now, but can you guarantee that you'll always be by her side in the future?"

"She has the ability to protect herself."

“Oh, then she shouldn’t have come here. Since she came, she should have been mentally prepared. Or, you could have had her come directly to me and tell me to withdraw from the training.” Zhou Hengyue spoke without any mercy; in his eyes, there was no distinction between people.

He doesn't judge people, he only judges things.

Su Qiluo frowned, and a red light began to appear in his eyes, but it soon disappeared.

He didn't say anything, he just silently watched Mu Qingyun, who was still running laps.

Forty-one laps, forty-two laps, forty-three laps...

Round and round she went, she had never felt time stretching out so long. The road beneath her feet seemed endless, and all her actions were driven by instinct.

It sounded like someone ran past her, but she couldn't see who it was. She only heard the person leave behind a sentence—

"That's all there is to it."

…grass!

Gritting her teeth, she took her steps and finally finished the last lap.

As soon as she crossed the finish line, she uncontrollably fell to the ground.

Instead of hitting the hard floor she expected, she felt a pair of arms around her waist, and the next moment, she was embraced by a warm hug.

A blinding light shone before my eyes, and warmth flowed through my veins to my entire body, sweeping away the fatigue and pain from running laps.

It must be Su Qiluo who has arrived, right?

She closed her eyes briefly, absorbing Su Qiluo's light-based abilities while simultaneously using her own plant-based abilities to promote her body's recovery.

After a while, she regained consciousness.

Turning her head, she met Su Qiluo's gaze.

Su Qiluo was raising her left hand, and a continuous stream of light energy emanated from her palm, not only relieving her fatigue but also helping the other runners who had finished.

In the arena, some people were still running, their eyes vacant, relying on instinct to endure this torture.

Some people stopped to rest and then started running again when they had the energy.

A few runners who had already reached the finish line, despite Su Qiluo's help in recovering, still couldn't stop coughing and sniffling.

Their faces were flushed, their expressions were ferocious, and they looked extremely pained.

Mu Qingyun looked at them and couldn't help but sigh.

Well, I guess I looked just like that—miserable, ferocious, and half-dead.

Relying on Su Qiluo to calm herself down, she turned her head and glanced at the people who had already finished running.

Among those who finished the run was Bai Pufeng.

At this moment, Bai Pufeng was staring coldly at her, not flinching at all when she looked at him.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, she suddenly remembered the voice she had heard near the end of the conversation.

That must be him mocking himself.

However, there shouldn't be any grudge between her and him. If it's out of 'resentment towards the rich,' that's unlikely, because he himself is powerful enough.

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, Su Qiluo's voice came from beside her ear. She turned her head to meet his gaze, smiled, and said, "It's nothing."

“Really?” Su Qiluo lowered her eyes. “Then why have you been staring at her like that? You’re practically staring her bald.”

What... bald patches?

Mu Qingyun smiled wryly, "He's the one who's watching me, okay? Didn't you notice he was hostile towards me?"

"Hmm?" Su Qiluo raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You knew him before?"

"I don't know him." She shook her head decisively.

"Then why is he hostile towards you?" Su Qiluo asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this question, Mu Qingyun secretly thought to herself, "That's quite a clever question."

She glanced at Bai Pufeng again; he was still staring at her. With a helpless sigh, she slowly said, "Good question, I'd like to know too."

Su Qiluo: "..."

He also realized how stupid his question had been.

"It's alright, ignore him." Mu Qingyun withdrew her gaze and began to look around among the new students. "Kazeel should still be in that area of ​​water. He's gambling, gambling that we won't hold a grudge against him."

“Yes, he must be thinking that since water-based abilities have been absorbed by the ocean and become part of it, even if we don’t care about him, we still have to consider the other mermaids and that clean water area.” As Su Qiluo said this, the red light in his eyes began to flicker again.

“I asked Su Zhou, and he said that the water ability was indeed taken from a seashell. When he found that seashell, it was on the verge of death. He saved it and explained his purpose to it.”

Later, it voluntarily gave us its water-based abilities, and since it didn't say anything, how would we know it would die if we took away its water-based abilities?

Mu Qingyun looked up at him. Actually, what he said made a lot of sense. The strategist back then probably never expected that his actions would bring trouble to his son years later.

"So, the only thing that can harm Kazel right now is to make the water he purified murky again, making all his efforts in vain."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiluo chuckled subconsciously: "If I really did that, wouldn't you make sure I can't sleep in bed for three years? Hmm? A philanthropist with the world in his heart?"
