Chapter 1703: Chapter 18: The First Trial of the "Super 2nd Generation" (2)

On the street, two teenage girls walked side by side, glancing around at the shops glowing with different colors. Their faces were filled with curiosity and excitement, drawing many amazed looks from passersby.

"Kuangkuan! Wait for me, I can barely keep up. Look, we don’t even know where Uncle Lu has gone. We shouldn’t stray too far from him, otherwise, if we run into danger..."

The girl called Eva lagged slightly behind, and while speaking, she couldn’t help but look around, as if searching for someone.

The girl in front turned her head to look at Eva and gave her a reassuring glance, saying:

"Eva, you’re too cautious. We’re not on the Divine Ancient Continent anymore; we’re in the city center of New York City. How could there be any danger here? We finally got a chance to go out—we should explore the street. I’ve been cooped up on the island practicing for so long, it’s suffocating me!"

As she spoke, the girl skipped over to a vending machine by the roadside, lifted her left wrist in front of its window, and soon two cans of beverages with unique packaging were dispensed from the machine.

"Here, this is the Hundred-flavor Fruit Juice I made using my own recipe. Try it and see how it tastes. Is it good?"

Eva took the juice handed to her, took a gentle sip, then widened her eyes, and gulped down the rest.

"Delicious!"

"Hehe, I’ll get some more for you!"

The two girls laughed happily, their crisp and silvery laughter once again attracting the attention of nearby pedestrians.

Both girls were dressed in ordinary casual clothes—one was a white girl, while the other had an Eastern complexion.

From their appearance, the girls seemed to be tourists, which wasn’t surprising. After all, New York City is such an international metropolis, attracting scores of people from around the world every day. Especially now that the anti-gravity car has hit the market, distance is no longer a barrier to human movement, leading to a flourishing tourism industry worldwide.

However, while they might look like ordinary people, their true identities were far from simple—they were Dark Spirits from the Star Alliance. Although they had only recently awakened, they were considered "Transcendents" in people’s eyes, housing strength far from the frail appearance they showed.

The two girls appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. The girl called "Kuangkuan" by the white girl had an extraordinary background. Aside from being a Dark Spirit from the Star Alliance, her family wealth was unimaginably vast. If she wished, she could easily buy the entire street in front of them.

Of course, if ordinary people boasted such things, no one would believe them, but this girl was different; she bore the Su name, and her father was Su Fu, the CEO of the world’s largest corporation.

This girl was Su Fu’s beloved daughter, Su Kuangkuan. The initial image of the Star Bracelet was modeled after her.

When Zhang Xiaoman first saw her at the Su family, she was only eight years old, just a child starting school. But now, time had passed, and she had grown into a graceful young lady—ten years later, she was in the prime of her life.

Coming into this bond with Su Kuangkuan was her good friend from the Star Alliance, who was a solitary child rescued by Anna and others from the Wildfire Department during their mission to gather clues about Makula from a small village.

After her rescue, Eva lived, studied, and grew within the Star Alliance, with Anna, the former Bomber of the Wildfire Team and now the Deputy Minister of the Wildfire Department, as her guardian.

Now, Eva had also become a Dark Spirit. She was close in age to Su Kuangkuan, and the two were close friends within the organization. Finally, they received their first mission in life and had the fortune to participate together, leading to the current scene.

Indeed, they weren’t in New York City purely for leisure. Under the control of Su Fu and Anna, they rarely had the chance to leave Rebirth Island. Usually, they lived in the Sky Garden, and their routine consisted mainly of studying and cultivation or playing with the spiritual beasts on the island. Thus, now that they were out, they displayed the demeanor of curious children.

Since this was their first mission, the difficulty wasn’t high; they were only sent to New York City to investigate a piece of information regarding the Wandering Spirit. They were accompanied by experts from the organization, so safety was not a concern. Rather than a mission, it was more like the first outside training for the two "Super Second Generation" girls in the organization, Su Kuangkuan and Eva.

This mission came from the local Wildfire Tavern, with information provided by a mercenary team named "Veil," known for their work in gathering related alien species information and having provided the tavern with several pieces of intel.

According to the intel, there had been some spiritual power fluctuations near Malt Street in New York City. Some witnesses claimed to have seen something resembling a Floating Light Ball. Based on the description in the "Alien Species Manual," this creature is considered a Level 1 Wandering Spirit.

Though Wandering Spirits were alien species, they weren’t particularly aggressive, but their defense against physical attacks was notably strong. Being pure energy bodies, ordinary people, even armed with powerful hot weapons, were powerless against them.

However, Su Kuangkuan and Eva, as Dark Spirits from the Star Alliance, had plenty of means to deal with spiritual entities, and a Wandering Spirit was child’s play for them.

Of course, the information provided was only partial, not absolute, and no one could guarantee every mission would go off without a hitch. Hence, for the girls’ safety, Su Fu had still arranged for an acquaintance to accompany them.

"Hey, ladies, interested in coming to a party?"

A white man approached to chat, while showing off his watch—a jet-black model featuring a panther’s head, indicating that this watch was an accessory to the latest anti-gravity car model, the "Panther Luxury Edition," signifying its owner’s extraordinary wealth and ownership of one of the top civilian vehicles in the world.

However, a watch alone doesn’t mean much. Some people modify the appearance as a disguise, pretending to own an expensive ride, similar to how on the former Water Blue Star, owning a luxury car keychain didn’t mean you had a luxury car.

Clearly aware of this, the man lightly tapped his watch, and soon a jet-black anti-gravity car descended from the sky, landing beside the group.

"Wow! Look! It’s the Panther!"

The arrival of the anti-gravity car immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers, amazed to see such a luxury vehicle today.

Considering how rare the Panther model was, even in a metropolis like New York City, the sight of it today was a rare spectacle, prompting onlookers to quickly activate their watch recording functions to snap photos and upload them to the Starry Community.

Many heavily made-up women had already approached, hoping to get the man’s phone number for a chance to engage in some interesting affairs with such a wealthy individual.

Nonetheless, the white man clearly had no interest in these flamboyant women; his gaze remained fixed on Su Kuangkuan and Eva, his face full of confidence, evidently believing he had already secured the outcome.
