I get that she can’t talk about it with outsiders because of the Superpower Administration Bureau’s rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her power level? That’s not some big secret. You’re her sister! She might not bring it up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t ask.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound from the distance drew Su Yue and Wang Ling’s attention again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the sound of Wang Jing setting the burning van she had lifted back down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The van had flipped onto its side, pinning the driver’s side door against the ground and making a rescue difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Wang Jing had used her Superpower to right the overturned van, which would make the rescue much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting the van upright, Wang Jing immediately moved to the driver’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door had been warped by the crash, making it impossible to open normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary person faced with a warped door like this would be helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Wang Jing, who was at the Second Order High Rank, a situation like this was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out, grabbed the door handle, and yanked. With a sharp SNAP, her fair hand tore the handle clean off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handle was broken, but the warped door remained stubbornly shut. Seeing this, Wang Jing’s expression remained calm and unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the onlookers watched as Wang Jing raised her right arm, clenched her hand into a fist, and punched the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could lift the entire van, shattering a window was child’s play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The window instantly shattered under the blow from her elegant fist, which glowed with a faint golden Spiritual Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shattering the glass, Wang Jing grabbed the entire warped door and gave it a powerful tug. It came off as if it were made of paper, and she tossed it to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the door gone, the rest was simple. Wang Jing leaned in and placed her hand on the neck of the blood-covered driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She confirmed he still had a pulse, gave a slight nod, then unbuckled his seatbelt and pulled the unconscious man from the driver’s seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TAP TAP TAP...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling the man free, Wang Jing immediately carried him toward the side of the road, moving away from the burning van.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wang Jing reached the crowd of bystanders on the roadside, the burning van behind her exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the explosion, the van’s flames raged even higher. Thick smoke billowed toward the sky, and shrapnel flew in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the onlookers were all aware that a burning vehicle could explode at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions were no joke, so while everyone was watching the incident unfold, no one was foolish enough to get close to the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, when the explosion occurred, the flying debris didn’t hit anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he still alive?\" a young woman in the crowd asked with concern as she saw Wang Jing lay the blood-soaked driver on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s alive,\" Wang Jing replied to the young woman. \"It doesn’t look too serious. He’ll be fine once the ambulance gets here and takes him to the hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew... That’s great.\" The young woman let out a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WEE-WOO, WEE-WOO, WEE-WOO...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few seconds after the explosion, a fire truck arrived, followed closely by an ambulance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firefighters began to extinguish the blaze, while the paramedics tended to the driver Wang Jing had rescued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jing watched as the firefighters put out the fire. She then glanced at the driver, who received some initial treatment before being taken to the hospital by the paramedics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This incident is pretty much over,’ she thought. ’Nothing left for me to do here.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TAP TAP TAP...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ling and Su Yue watched Wang Jing return like a hero. They greeted her excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, you were so awesome just now!\" Wang Ling said with a laugh, her face beaming with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we get home tonight, I’m going to tell Mom and Dad every single detail of your heroic feat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jing, you’re so brave,\" Su Yue said with a smile. \"When I saw you pull that blood-soaked driver from the cab, my heart was in my throat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jing just smiled, saying nothing, as if the heroic rescue she had just performed was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in truth, for Wang Jing, it really wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Investigator for the Superpower Administration Bureau, Wang Jing had been on the job for several years. She had handled many cases far more dangerous than pulling someone from a burning van.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s been an accident, so no taxis will come down this road,\" Wang Jing said to Su Yue and Wang Ling with a smile. \"Let’s walk to the intersection up ahead and try to catch one there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" The two girls nodded. The three of them chatted as they walked toward the intersection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they reached the intersection, an empty taxi appeared and headed their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them hailed the cab. After getting in and giving the driver an address, they set off for the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a noodle shop outside the Ping’an Garden District, Lin Li was on his third bowl of soy-braised beef noodles, scrolling through interesting short videos on his phone as he ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swiping through, Lin Li suddenly came across a video of a traffic accident involving a van that had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video was clearly shot by a bystander; the angle was terrible, and the camera was shaky, but the image itself was surprisingly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video showed a girl lifting a burning van with her bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This person must have a Strength Enhancement Superpower. Otherwise, with pure physical strength, she... probably couldn’t lift a van that heavy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the ten-second clip and making a quick analysis, Lin Li swiped past it to the next video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GULP, GULP, GULP...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his noodles, Lin Li drank the rich broth in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a napkin from the dispenser on the table, wiped his mouth, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash can under the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m stuffed. Ate a little too much.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having eaten three bowls of noodles, Lin Li patted his stomach, grabbed his phone from the table, and left the noodle shop, heading for the residential complex across the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Using the motorcycle’s noise to lure the Mutant Beasts to their deaths this afternoon really boosted my hunting efficiency. The method works; I’ll do it again tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can keep up this haul every day for a while, I might be able to get a new Magical Little Fruit in about ten days.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Li mulled over his plans for tomorrow’s Mutant Beast hunt as he walked toward his residential complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure—a tall woman with long, flowing hair, wearing a white shirt and a dark, pleated skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xia Qing,\" Lin Li muttered, watching the distant figure arguing with someone. ’My neighbor doesn’t seem to have very good luck. Every time I run into her, she’s caught up in some kind of trouble.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Li quickened his pace and walked toward his neighbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-06T12:43:53.919Z",1,"novelbin.me","2bcc3c8eb306d776c0b82eb6acdc99d5e1097680ffd3ab191c5298d456811cad","i-start-with-a-mysterious-island-chapter-230","i-start-with-a-mysterious-island-chapter-228",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-start-with-a-mysterious-island-cover.jpg"]
