Chapter 39: Reinforcements Arrive

Seeing what was happening before him, Feng Ling didn’t hesitate. He quickly jumped to the side to distance himself from Tisila.

After landing, a man flipped through the air and landed next to him.

This man had a square face and a buzz cut. He was tall and broad, with a bare upper body revealing a wide chest and solid arms. His well-defined muscles exuded strength. He wore loose white pants, which, given his upper body, suggested his legs were equally muscular.

Feng Ling glanced at the man and remarked, “You guys took your sweet time getting here. Any later, and you’d be attending my funeral.”

Feng Ling was the kind of person who, despite being an S-Class hero, didn’t mind admitting when he was in a tough spot. Complaining like this was just part of his personality.

He turned his head to look at the surrounding buildings. On the rooftops stood several differently dressed individuals.

These were the other heroes who had come to support him.

The muscular man next to him was A-Class hero Hong Yao. On the left rooftops stood two men dressed like martial artists, brothers Xuan Yue and Xuan Xing, both A-Class heroes.

On another side were three more people, all B-Class heroes. One of them, a man clad in silver-white armor resembling Iron Man, was notable. Despite lacking the constitution of a star hero, he had enhanced his body with special drugs and high-tech armor, earning his B-Class hero status and aiming for A-Class. His name was Alloy. 

The other two were women. One, a portly lady of a certain age who called herself Aunt Cai, was not worth describing further in terms of appearance.

Finally, Feng Ling noticed a woman standing to the side. He grinned at her.

“Hey, hey, there’s a beauty over there.”

He grinned cheekily as if he’d forgotten the seriousness of the situation.

Initially, only six people had come. Feng Ling, Hong Yao, Xuan Yue, Xuan Xing, Alloy, and Aunt Cai. Now there was an extra person, and a stunning woman at that, which piqued Feng Ling’s curiosity.

Hong Yao glared at Feng Ling. “You call yourself an S-Class hero, behaving like this? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Feng Ling chuckled, his expression somewhat lecherous, nudging Hong Yao’s solid arm with his elbow.

“Come on, who’s the beauty? She’s a hero too, right? Never seen her before.”

Hong Yao sighed heavily, exasperated by Feng Ling’s antics. “Sigh, what am I going to do with you?” 

He then turned to the woman and said to Feng Ling, “That’s the rising B-Class hero, Lin Xinyan. Haven’t you been watching the news? She was involved when that other spirit-class anomaly appeared. She’s quite the hot topic lately. We ran into her on the way here, so she joined us.”

Hong Yao was right. The beautiful woman was indeed Lin Xinyan. Upon hearing about the anomaly, she first helped evacuate the civilians, then headed towards the source of the explosions, meeting up with Hong Yao and the others on the way.

After hearing Hong Yao’s introduction, Feng Ling gave Lin Xinyan a big smile and waved.

“Hello, beautiful! I’m Feng Ling. How about grabbing a meal together once we’re done here?”

Lin Xinyan glanced at Feng Ling, her expression serious. She couldn’t afford to relax, as the recently knocked-down Tisila was already getting back on his feet.
