Chapter 607: Chapter 318: Development Progress 100% - Approaching the Chaotic Star Gap_2

"Huh..."

That day, in the room, Li Ming breathed steadily, red arcs danced across the surface of his skin, and in the gravity-covered area, not even dust was present in the air.

Suddenly, accompanied by surging red arcs, his skin turned translucent, clearly revealing the capillaries beneath. His blood vessels bulged, slithering under the skin like little snakes.

Crack!

With a hardly perceptible burst, Li Ming’s body began to disintegrate into red electri ions, swirling up a storm in place, then gradually reconverging, until he finally transformed into a fierce beast.

In an instant, it dissipated again, and the electric ions gathered back into a human form, the red arcs dispersing, and Li Ming slowly exhaled a breath.

Feeling the familiar and full sensation in his body, it signified that his Genetic Seed had been developed to 100%.

He took out various detection devices to give them a try; his conventional Energy Level was close to 2A, comparable to some Life Forms who had just fused with A-level Genetic Seeds.

"Wonder what heights I will reach after fusing with A-level Genetic Seeds," Li Ming took a long breath, stretched his body, and clenched his fists.

Gathering his things, he put on some clothes and left the room.

Passing by the porthole, he glanced outside, the outside was all luminescent blue passages, surrounded by violent space energy, they were still on the Star Gate’s trajectory.

In the cabin, several A-level Life Forms were listlessly playing cards, the simplest number comparing game in the Starfield, with an electromagnetic revolver placed beside each of them.

"Bigger than yours," Ulrich revealed the cards with an indifferent expression, Sandro widened his eyes and cursed as he picked up the revolver, pointing it at his temple.

Bang!

A shot was fired, a flash of light, and the electromagnetic bullet smacked against Sandro’s temple, spinning and flattening into a metal disc, before falling to the ground, spent.

"Damn, why am I so unlucky," Sandro swore again, hesitantly opening his smart terminal, seemingly making a transaction.

Seeing Li Ming come in, he greeted him enthusiastically, "Wanna play?"

"Forget it..." Li Ming’s mouth twitched, these guys were truly bored.

"Hm?" Ulrich’s gaze swept over, feeling that something was off.

He was a Superpower User with well-developed spiritual power and could keenly feel that Li Ming was somewhat different.

"What’s your development progress?" Monroe suddenly asked.

"100%..." Li Ming said candidly.

"How much!?" Sandro almost jumped up, shocked, "B-level 100%?"

Ulrich’s gaze suddenly deepened, the others also looked over with complex expressions.

How old was Li Ming?

Is this the terrifying aspect of Level Forty-Six Development Potential?

Dark Night was filled with doubt and uncertainty that even for Level Forty-Six Development Potential, this seemed too fast.

He didn’t dare to speculate too much; perhaps there are other special aspects after reaching a certain level of developmental potential.

Swallowing hard, Sandro asked, "So, you’re just one A-level Genetic Seed away from becoming an A-level Life Form?"

At this point, Theo’s eyes flickered as he said, "The Genetic Seed Azure Dragon asked for... it wasn’t for you, was it?"

"You guessed right, Lord Theo," Li Ming nodded. His identity would be active for a long time to come, there was no way to hide it from these people here.

"It’s actually for your use." Dark Night was astonished and couldn’t help saying, "How much is your mentor’s Development Potential? Hasn’t he reached B-level 100%?"

The rest also couldn’t help but look over, very curious.

"Haha..." Li Ming grinned, "I dare not say. If you have a chance in the future, you can ask him in person, but let me remind you, the teacher is very sensitive about this matter."

They exchanged glances, all containing a hint of amusement. Despite the low Development Potential, he was a Casting Star Mechanical Master and showed strong resistance to mechanical augmentation; indeed, Azure Dragon was quite a contrast.

Monroe shook his head wordlessly, "You should persuade him, Mechanical Transformation is quite normal, there’s no need to resist, there are not many things that can enhance Root Development Potential."

"I’ve tried persuading him, but the teacher was reluctant." Li Ming equivocated.

Dark Night felt a slight movement within his heart. Could it be because of the Ultimate Evolution Path?

The strength of a Mechanical Transformation depends on the material and technology, and is doomed to not surpass the Evolution Limit.

Among the higher life forms in the universe, there is a consensus that only Genetic Evolution and Superpower Transformation can allow one to continue on the Evolution Road without end.

But... is it worth fussing over the Ultimate Evolution Path for an Azure Dragon, a Level B life form? Dark Night was quite speechless.

"By the way, how many days until we reach the Chaotic Star Gap?" Li Ming asked.

"Two more Star Gates, not far away, about four or five days." Dark Night responded.

Li Ming nodded, found a corner at random, opened the Black Hole Network, and looked at the recent news.

"Northern Crown Star Ring--Centaur Star Cluster--Advanced Civilization--Kansimate Civilization, has recently passed an aid bill for the Yitelan Civilization, will dispatch over five hundred warships to intervene in the battlefield..."

"Interstellar Alliance has issued the third statement, requesting the Yitelan Civilization and Judge Civilization cease fire and enter negotiations..."

In this past month, the situation in the Northern Crown Star Ring has been like oil on fire.

Videos of Antonio’s beheading are everywhere, and naturally, the Judge Civilization is extremely angry, demanding that Yitelan Civilization hand over Asimara.

A great war was ignited. Over this month, there has been virtually no sign of stopping, but instead, it is becoming more intense.

Several nearby civilizations have been forced to declare positions, each supporting Yitelan or Judge Civilization, and it’s still expanding.

After a brief scan, he opened the backstage. Blackbeard had sent him a message with the planetary coordinates he requested.

After copying the coordinates, he opened the purchase page. There were still 250 billion Star Coins waiting for him to spend.

Whether it is to Control the [Ascension Source Crystal], to repair the [Material Reorganization Machine], or to construct a base and produce Mechanical Soldiers, a large amount of metal energy is needed.

This should be enough for his initial consumption. Li Ming’s eyes flickered, selecting various metal materials, but ultimately he did not place the order—it was just too expensive.

Such a large-scale purchase, including the shipping fee, would cost more than twenty billion! It was too much of a loss, so he planned to look for channels in the Chaotic Star Gap.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. With a shake of the cabin,

the huge hexagonal Star Gate expelled them into the Starfield, then the standard intelligent system took over.

"Welcome, Twin Floating Islands welcomes you. Please do not be alarmed; the intelligent system is taking control of your spaceship. Next, please queue in an orderly fashion..."

Under guidance, their spaceship joined the long queue of vessels in an orderly manner. The flowing light of the stars was boundless, and what presented itself before everyone was a gigantic Floating Island.

Generally diamond-shaped, it was like two inverted triangles joined together, with peaks both above and below, clamped together by a special gravity, all with towering steel buildings.

The island was also wrapped in crisscrossing tracks, with various warships and spaceships orbiting around; its grandeur was not the least inferior to a regular planet.

"Twin Floating Islands, one of the transit nodes of the Chaotic Star Gap." Dark Night briefly introduced, stretching his body involuntarily—returning here seemed to make him as comfortable as a fish in water.

"Let’s go down. The Night Moon Laboratory has a branch here, their headquarters unknown to anyone. I have already contacted the headquarters some days ago. The items should have already been sent here. After I get the Genetic Seed, I can leave."

Li Ming naturally had no objections, and Dark Night connected to the management system, uttering a string of identification codes.

"Beep—VIP client detected, preparing to guide to the special channel."

The management system diverted their ship from the regular queue and, through a seamless green light, led directly to the node port.

After parking the spaceship, upon coming out, they were greeted by life forms dressed in black uniforms, both men and women, largely conforming to class human aesthetics - handsome men, beautiful women, tall and slender.

It was evident that the majority of the people in their group were class human life forms.

"Welcome, esteemed guests, to your arrival..." the staff performed uniformly in both movement and voice.

The staff, familiar with the procedures, led them onto a deluxe shuttle, a long and elevated model, not only exceptionally spacious but also equipped with various facilities like a bar cabinet. The view outside the window whizzed by.

"You seem quite nervous?" Li Ming sat on the soft sofa, looking at the woman in front of him, his eyes half-closed, scanning over the wine bottle in her hand.

The woman was bending down to pour the wine, her black hair falling beside her ears, revealing a full and delicate chest, her face showing timidity and awe.
