"Not bad... In no more than ten minutes, my body will have roughly taken shape, and I now also possess some ability to perceive my surroundings." In the soaring spaceship the Angeli Bai, Jia Yan indifferently felt a sense of surprise towards the progress of his mutation. Previous mutations had always been tumultuous, and the process itself excruciatingly painful. This time, although the moments before the mutation had been similarly harrowing, the subsequent process was not as painful. For Jia Yan, this was an intangible reward. His body gradually solidified, the condensation fluid of his body had, during successive expansions, become a new body. Thereafter, this body continuously strengthened, drawing vaguely on past combat experience, it veered towards a unique direction of evolution in the universe. This was a miracle in the history of evolution. "Alright, my basic sensory organs have recovered. Let’s listen to the outside sounds, though I suppose it might just be the flight noises of the Angeli Bai. After all, I am in flight," Jia Yan wanted to test his newfound perceptual abilities. "Ah? How is that possible?" Just as he activated his auditory organs, a sudden shock thundered in his brain! It turned out that outside, a torrent of shouts and curses poured in from the outside, involuntarily making Big Mosquito feel the powerful presence and the terrifying rage. This voice was not unfamiliar to Jia Yan; it was indeed the last voice he had heard before almost losing consciousness—the voice of Pai Lan. "How could I still be hearing the voice of Pai Lan, who ranks ninth among the ten Strong Ones? Could it be that they have captured me? Impossible. I distinctly initiated the launch of the Angeli Bai, and moreover, if I had been captured, I shouldn’t be aboard it right now." Jia Yan looked anxiously at his surroundings, and as a Strong One, he could instantly judge Pai Lan’s combat power, which seemed to have faintly doubled from what it had been at the port! "Hmph, even if my body’s mutation isn’t complete, I’m no longer as tractable as I was before!" On Jia Yan’s body, still enveloped within the cocoon, a pair of juvenile compound eyes transmitted a faint hint of ferocity. "However, their numbers... seem to be quite many. Am I truly capable of defeating them?" In Jia Yan’s silent utterance, a faint hint of the smell of battle and gunpowder slowly rose from his body. He knew that now was not the time to ponder too much. The current Big Mosquito had some insights into the grasp of the battle situation. The former battle mode was no longer a way of thinking for him; he knew that sometimes, when it was possible to escape, he should flee, and when fighting was inescapable, he had no choice but to fight! "Surely those surrounding auras must be the other ten Strong Ones, right? But why do I only detect five presences? No matter, a decrease in enemy numbers is something I should be happy about." After observing the external situation for a moment, Jia Yan directly made his move. His body slowly stirred. Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft! The dark in front of him instantly turned bright, and the huge cocoon had a small tear gently made by his newborn forelimbs. Finally, with a powerful tear by Big Mosquito, a huge gash appeared on the entire cocoon, and his body deftly stepped out into the outside world! "Jia Yan, are you still not coming out? Are you going to play the shrinking turtle? You, who are not much inferior to us Strong Ones, doing such things, it truly tarnishes the face of the Strong Ones!" The voice of Pai Lan from outside was getting louder, as if to say that if Jia Yan was not willing to come out, he would burst in. As someone who wanted to know the so-called method of promotion from Jia Yan, Pai Lan did not wish to kill Jia Yan directly; otherwise, a simple exertion from a mechanical arm, and the Angeli Bai would shatter to pieces. Jia Yan looked towards the outside, his body a somewhat blurry silhouette, and a pair of newborn compound eyes continuously dripped condensation fluid. If someone had seen Jia Yan at that moment, they would be astonished. It was known that Big Mosquito’s body had reached a terrifying fifty meters. This colossal being took up about half of the space inside the relatively small Angeli Bai, with the huge cocoon inside, a large part of the space was now occupied by the remaining ’substance’ of his body. The five Strong Ones outside, piloting five battleships, had the Angeli Bai completely surrounded. If it were a common enemy, they would have opened fire long ago, reducing the Angeli Bai to rubbish, though the Strong One inside might still be alive. But faced with the extermination by the battleships, whether they could remain alive would be an unknown. At this moment, these Strong Ones, looking at the silent and motionless Angeli Bai, felt a disdain towards the so-called ’Jia Yan’ inside. As an existence approaching their level, Jia Yan had already proven his power with the previous great battle, yet now he was showing such a cowardly side, which truly made the five Strong Ones disdainful. "Hmph, does this Jia Yan rely on our wish not to kill him so he won’t come out? Pai Lan, blast his rotten ship to pieces, and see if he comes out then!" Xing Wu, behind Pai Lan, commanded directly. "I know what to do; you don’t need to order me around!" Pai Lan in front, seemed quite averse to commands from the other Strong Ones. Among this group of Strong Ones, he was in a weaker position, as he was only ranked ninth among the ten Strong Ones. Among the Strong Ones that had come, he was the lowest in rank, while among the top five present, besides Pai Lan, there was also a Strong One named Virtual Pet, ranked third, with the other two respectively ranked sixth and seventh. With Pai Lan being ranked ninth, his status was not high in this place.
