Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Let's rewind to a few minutes earlier.

Lin Yun walked hurriedly along the streets in the north of the city, her face showing undisguised anxiety.

She went to visit Jiang Mian at her new residence as promised, only to find that she was not home.

"No, we agreed that he would be waiting for me at home at this time. That child is always honest and takes promises very seriously, unless..."

The thought that Li Hao, an unstable factor, had been released made Lin Yun feel increasingly uneasy.

Just as she was about to expand her search area, she saw a sheriff on routine patrol not far away.

"Sir!"

Lin Yun hurriedly stepped forward.

The female sheriff who was stopped had a head of short, stylish hair, and the badge on her chest showed that her name was Chen Qing.

"Hello, do you need any help?"

Chen Qing stopped and looked at Lin Yun.

"Excuse me, have you seen a girl around here? She's about this tall, wears glasses, and seems very quiet..."

Lin Yun quickly described Jiang Mian's appearance, her tone urgent.

As Chen Qing listened, he subconsciously activated his abilities.

Sequence 123, [Element] Path, [Wind Whisper].

This is a rare reconnaissance ability in the [Elemental] path, allowing awakened individuals to perceive subtle changes in the surrounding airflow and capture fragments of information, making it quite useful in vigilance or search operations.

At first, the only information the wind carried was the desolate winds of the northern part of the city and the occasional sounds of vehicle engines.

But soon, she caught a few whispered comments.

"...Over at the warehouse, several men are surrounding a girl..."

"It looked quite pitiful; the girl had her head down and was being dragged along..."

"Mind your own business, or you'll get yourself into trouble..."

Chen Qing's expression changed. From just these few words, combined with Lin Yun's description, he could roughly deduce what had happened.

She shook her head at Lin Yun, her expression serious, and said:

"Sorry, I don't recall. But..."

Chen Qing pointed in the direction of the warehouse area. Although it was some distance away, he could clearly feel an unusual fluctuation.

"The person you're looking for might be over there, and their situation might not be good right now. Stay close to me and be vigilant."

"Hopefully, it's not too late..."

Chen Qing silently recited the mantra, and then she led Lin Yun quickly toward the warehouse area.

The closer Chen Qing got, the more he felt that the airflow here was very turbulent and volatile, as if it had been affected by something.

She had a strange, ominous feeling that the source of this chaotic airflow... seemed to have an innate, strong suppressive force against her, inhibiting the operation of her abilities.

As Chen Qing led Lin Yun near a dilapidated warehouse, they witnessed Red Hair and Green Hair prying open the door.

"What are you doing!"

Chen Qing shouted sharply, startling the two of them.

"Sir, sir..."

Ah Jie stammered, unable to articulate his thoughts for a long time.

"It's you?!"

Lin Yun's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

She recognized the two of them at a glance. Although they weren't from her school, they often followed Li Hao around, flattering him.

"Where's Li Hao?!"

She glanced at the warehouse, her heart tightening; she already had a guess.

Am I too late...?

A strong sense of guilt welled up in Lin Yun's heart instantly.

She knew perfectly well what kind of person Li Hao was, and she knew he would never let it go, yet she still failed to protect Jiang Mian.

If Jiang Mian suffers any harm as a result...

"Is Li Hao inside? What did he do to Jiang Mian?!"

Lin Yun's voice sounded somewhat shrill due to her excitement, a stark contrast to her usual gentle demeanor.

"calm!"

She tried to rush forward, but Chen Qing grabbed her arm.

Chen Qing remained silent, her gaze fixed intently on the direction of the warehouse. The message from [Wind Whisper] was...extreme danger!

Something unknown seemed to have happened inside the warehouse. Turbulent air currents began to converge, carrying a sharpness that seemed to tear everything apart, ripping at the heavy iron door.

Even though she was a newly awakened second-tier individual, she found it quite troublesome.

"Oh no... You two, step back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible wave of air suddenly spread out from the warehouse, knocking the two people closest to him to the ground.

Chen Qing stood in front of Lin Yun and used his ability to slow down, barely managing to maintain his balance.

"Elemental Burst..."

This level of power... most first-tier awakened beings couldn't withstand it at all, and its extremely high sequence severely suppressed her abilities.

"Blood……"

Red Hair and Green Hair struggled to their feet and discovered several new cuts on their bodies, which seemed to be getting bigger. They panicked.

Just then, the roar of a motorcycle suddenly appeared, growing louder as it approached.

Ye Chenyang executed a nimble drift and came to a steady stop on the open ground outside the warehouse.

Seeing so many people at the scene, he frowned slightly; the situation seemed more complicated than he had anticipated.

Ye Chenyang had encountered this situation several times before.

Although he was not an awakener of the [Elemental] path, he was still a apex sequence member and his perception of [Radiance] was second only to [Soul].

The turbulent air currents are clearly a man-made elemental explosion!

But why is it that his abilities fluctuate?

He clearly remembered that the vertex sequence of that [Element], the [Myriad Phenomena] of sequence 3, seemed to have never been to Base City 144, right?

"Ye...Chenyang?"

Chen Qing glanced at Ye Chenyang's uniform and the badge on his chest. A newcomer? Or from the South District?

Although somewhat doubtful, the situation was urgent, and having another person was always a good thing. Chen Qing immediately shared the information succinctly:

"It is suspected that an awakened individual is holding a female student hostage inside. The internal energy reaction is abnormal, and it is suspected that the wind elemental pathway ability has gone out of control!"

She turned to Lin Yun and asked:

"Is the girl you're looking for an Awakened One?"

"No, she isn't! She failed to awaken her powers a month ago!"

Lin Yun hurriedly answered, but after Chen Qing asked that question, she came to her senses and also considered this possibility.

Natural awakening.

Or is it a natural awakening triggered by extremely intense stimulation?

Moreover, judging from the scale and power of the elements that have been activated, the sequence of awakenings is probably... unusual!

"Natural awakening?"

Ye Chenyang looked at the warehouse not far away. A sizable wind field had formed around it. To be able to trigger such a large-scale elemental burst right after awakening, one must be at least in the top fifty advanced sequences.

But his senses gave him a very strange feeling, which drove him to want to go to the eye of the storm to find out.

"Bang!"

The warehouse door was suddenly blown open, and a violent gust of air carrying dust and debris rushed out.

"Back off!"

Chen Qing instinctively shielded Lin Yun behind him.

Ye Chenyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a golden halo emanated from his body, isolating the air waves from the outside.

"Senior Chen."

After thinking for a while, Ye Chenyang decided to go in and take a look himself.

"My abilities provide some resistance to all physical attacks. I can try to clear a path and go in to check the situation."
