“You have evolved.” Feng Lianzhu said firmly.
The Imperial Army was intimidated by Feng Lianzhu’s confident and domineering words, and the momentum created by a thousand soldiers was repelled by just one look from Feng Lianzhu. Only Major General Laurie, facing Feng Lianzhu’s indifferent expression, had a fleeting look of doubt.
He never believed that the black-haired man in front of him was an adult Kirates dragon. He didn’t believe it last time, and he still doesn’t believe it now.
The first time he was captured, he indeed heard the roar of Kirates, but then the man who appeared needed to use a tripod and the force of rotation to knock him out. At that time, he was under control and had to suppress his doubts, deliberately provoking the Atavists to steal the spaceship, to anger the Kirates dragon, and make it reveal its dragon form.
Unfortunately, the Atavist named Dog Sixteen had quite a leadership ability, and this matter did not reach the dragon.
Laurie believed that there were no Kirates on this planet, just a carcass and a howl that was somehow preserved.
He had planned to leave the planet and report to his superiors, gathering forces to snatch the carcass. He believed that sending stronger forces this time would definitely expose the black-haired man’s fox tail.
Who knew that shortly after Major General Laurie and the pirates left, a dragon really appeared again to rob them, emptying the pirate’s treasury.
Fortunately, the Imperial Army’s station was a little further away from here. The dragon was too lazy to go too far, otherwise, before the empire’s demise, the treasures they had transferred would probably be completely swept away by this dragon.
Because of the wrong information, Laurie was demoted to Major General after returning to the Imperial Army, and his superiors ordered him not to think too much, as Kirates was not a creature they could deal with.
But Laurie knew some inside information about the Atavists, gene enhancers, and Kirates. Judging from the nest, that dragon might just be a young dragon. Especially during the molting period, young Kirates dragons have weaknesses. The energy of the shell left by the mother dragon is limited. They can engage in a war of attrition, lure the dragon away from the primitive star, and fight guerrilla warfare in space to deplete the shell’s energy. Once the energy is exhausted, the young dragon loses the protection of its hard shell. The spots where their scales have fallen off but new scales have not yet grown are fatal weaknesses.
He has ambition. If he can capture a living Kirates dragon, the Imperial Army has a hope of defeating the Alliance’s army.
But the superiors do not allow it. The Imperial Army cannot afford the consumption and cannot waste a large amount of forces on a guess to offend a powerful enemy, and they transferred him to a nominal position for retirement. Just when he was feeling frustrated, Kirates took the initiative to contact him. In the conversation, Laurie quietly set a trap, calling the dragon a late-stage molting Kirates. That person admitted it.
This is impossible.
During the molting period, whether it is early or late, as long as it is not an adult, Kirates cannot possibly become human. Human form, yet claiming to be late-stage molting, is absolutely impossible.
Laurie felt he had found a breakthrough and, armed with the video Feng Lianzhu had sent him, convinced his superiors to provide a thousand troops and weapons. Though this military force might not be enough, Laurie’s aim wasn’t to capture a dragon with such a small force. He needed concrete evidence that the dragon on the primitive planet was a young one. With this evidence, he could persuade his superiors to deploy the empire’s accumulated military resources to capture the dragon.
However, the strength of the person in front of him now was baffling, vastly different from before. His individual power seemed unbelievably strong.
While Laurie was deep in thought, the interstellar pirates also arrived at the primitive planet. Hearing that Kirates was giving them a chance to prove themselves, Lind immediately brought a thousand-strong force, coincidentally the same number as Laurie’s troops.
Unlike Laurie’s intricate plans, Lind had a simpler thought. The interstellar pirates, who had been helplessly plundered by a dragon for over three hundred years, thought it was better to surrender if they couldn’t win. As fugitives wanted by the alliance, they had always been living on the edge. If not for the threat of the imperial army, the alliance would have long dispatched forces to eradicate the pirates. Sensibly, the pirates thought that if they could serve under a Kirates dragon, protected by it, they wouldn’t have to fear the alliance anymore.
Previously, they had wanted to steal back their gold coins only because they had no opportunity to “cling to the dragon’s leg”. Now with this chance, those previous actions were just offerings. As for pride, well, life is tough, and they didn’t need that.
Lind also had a personal subtle thought. Seeing Feng Lianzhu’s attitude towards the Atavists, he felt a sense of recognition.
The alliance didn’t treat them as humans, but a dragon was willing to rob interstellar pirates for the sake of the poorly clothed Atavists.
The tall Lind stepped off the spaceship, leading his carefully selected group of Atavist pirates to Feng Lianzhu. They knelt on one knee and respectfully said, “On Kirates’s command, who dares to track the master? Beat them to death!”
“Beat them to death!” the pirates behind him roared in unison.
Laurie: “โฆ”
He never expected that impersonating a dragon would also bring this bunch of crude pirates, smarter than he had imagined.
Feng Lianzhu was pleased with Lind and the others’ attitude. He nodded and said, “You two, send out 500 people each day for construction work until a spaceship lands.”
Laurie: “โฆ”
Lind patted his chest and said, “No problem, that’s our strength!”
Feng Lianzhu hesitated as he looked at Lind, who previously wanted to steal gold coins, and now…
“Hehehe, Lord Kirates, I saw the video of you in the arena that night, sent to me by the technicians,” Lind quickly added upon seeing Feng Lianzhu’s doubt.
It was too impressive! The shock of that day was imprinted in the hearts of every interstellar pirate.
In fact, many people didn’t really feel the reality of a giant dragon attacking a battleship. After all, they couldn’t even see the whole body of the dragon, just like not realizing how high a mountain is while being on it.
Feng Lianzhu’s performance that night was breathtaking. He clearly hadn’t exerted his full strength, which was even more astonishing. His words and actions in the arena were admirable.
The technicians secretly uploaded the video to the pirates that same night. Feng Lianzhu instantly gained countless followers among the lawless pirates, who thought that one should live life in the spirit of Kirates!
This time, when Feng Lianzhu summoned the interstellar pirates, those guys were actually quite excited!
Not understanding the pirates’ excitement, Feng Lianzhu nodded slightly: โYou can operate near the base. I’ll call you if needed.โ
With equal numbers and similar strategic resources, he let these two forces contend with each other.
He remotely activated his war armor, leaped onto it without entering, and sat on top. Along with Dolphin 66 and Dog 16, he left behind a group of astonished pirates.
Returning to the vicinity of his lair, Feng Lianzhu, still worried about the parental accompaniment for his graduation exam, stepped off the war armor with heavy steps, his movements no longer as light.
Dog 16, always attentive to Lord Kirates, immediately noticed his change and bravely asked, โMy lord, what’s troubling you? Can you tell me?โ
He was actually a bit taller than Feng Lianzhu. To avoid looking down at him, Dog 16 bent his waist, raised his face, and stared at Feng Lianzhu with a pair of sincere, large eyes, his tail swaying.
Feng Lianzhu shook his head, thinking about who to pretend as his uncle: โYou can’t solve it.โ
Yet, he thought, โIf I had known Dog 16 was so sensible, I would have had him pretend to be a family member while I entered the arena with a different account. That way, our relationship would have been completely severed.โ
Dog 16 lowered his head in disappointment, his tail no longer wagging, feeling useless and unable to relieve Lord Kirates’s worries.
โMy lord,โ Dolphin 66 suddenly spoke, โsomething seems to have changed in me.โ
โWhat happened?โ Feng Lianzhu looked at Dolphin 66.
โI just now, it seems I heard Dog 16’s thoughts. He was constantly ‘whining’ and crying, which was a bit annoying.โ
Feng Lianzhu raised an eyebrow. With all the bizarre game skills, he immediately guessed that Dolphin 66 had awakened a mind-reading ability?
Dolphin 66, with his reverted dolphin genetics and highly developed brain, could already transmit thoughts directly to others’ minds through brain waves. A slight evolution to read others’ brain waves was not impossible.
Being pointed out by Dolphin 66 that he was crying, Dog 16 became stiff. He bared his sharp teeth at Dolphin 66 with a โwoo wooโ sound, looking threatening.
Feng Lianzhu was about to laugh but then realized Dolphin 66 was looking at him. He suddenly understood, picked up Dolphin 66, and returned to the lair, leaving Dog 16 alone in his dejection.
Dropping Dolphin 66 in a corner and protecting his own mind with spiritual power, Feng Lianzhu firmly said, โYou just heard my thoughts.โ
Dolphin 66, unable to cope, was rolling around in the lair, clutching his head in obvious pain from the dragon’s imposing presence, as the mournful sounds of a dolphin echoed through the cave.
Feng Lianzhu thought for a moment and then created a spiritual energy shield to envelop Dolphin 66. In “Voyage Through the Void,” this was a basic defensive move used by bosses, and even stronger minions would employ it โ it was nothing special.
Protected by the spiritual energy, Dolphin 66 felt much better. He sat up slowly, curiously looking around the cave, his first time inside Kirates’ lair.
“What have you heard?” the man in front of him asked with a dark expression.
Dolphin 66 hurriedly averted his gaze, tremblingly saying, โNo, nothing! I didn’t hear you planning to attend a primary school exam on nearby Leia Star, nor that you needed to bring a parent. I also didn’t hear you momentarily considering having Dog 16 hide his tail and pretend to be your parent!โ
โOh?โ Feng Lianzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, a beautiful smile appearing, โYou heard quite a bit, then.โ
Dolphin 66: โโฆโ
Lord Kirates smiling was terrifying!
What he didn’t know was that Feng Lianzhu was thinking, โThankfully, I never thought about swapping places with the fat dragon. That was a close call.โ
Kneeling inside the spiritual energy shield, Dolphin 66 cried, โMy lord, I really didn’t mean to. We’ve been living near your cave these days, and I’ve had headaches every day, like my head was going to explode. Just now, when you destroyed the small battleship, my head ‘boomed’, and the pain stopped, my ears cleared, and suddenly I heard many voices.
โAnd now I feel the influence of your cave even more, its power perceivable even from a great distance.โ
When Feng Lianzhu blew up the battleship, he used dragon power… and a slightly different kind of energy. What kind of energy did the fat dragon transfer to him then?
โYou’ve evolved,โ Feng Lianzhu said with certainty.
At that moment, both of them thought of one thing โ the gene evolution agent!
Author’s Note:
Fat Dragon: Just now, when A-Zhu remotely used energy, I was worried he might get hurt, so I gave him some life energy. Next time we talk, I need to tell him, so he rewards me, roar~

Owowo, continuing to cry for nutrient solution, begging for nutrient solution.
Some friends say that 10,000 for an extra update is too much, but it’s really calculated carefully, I’m not deliberately asking for too much! This afternoon, in just three hours, there were already 4,000 nutrient solutions, and if it were 1,000 for an update, you would see a very tired Qing TAT
5,000 would also be exhausting!
Considering the current rate of nutrient solution, Lazy Qing will have to update again tomorrow _(:ะทใโ )_
And for those who don’t have nutrient solution, just the thought is enough, you can give it later, don’t cry, Lazy Qing loves you!
If you have some, maybe share a little with me _(:ะทใโ )_
