My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing-Chapter 230 - 137 Departure (Part 2)_2
They were the last group to pick their rooms.
"Hey! Fatty!" Chen Yu banged hard on the door, "Are you okay? Hey? Fatty, open the door!"
"Move aside!" A man in armor walked over from a distance, his steps creating gusts of wind, pushing through the crowd, "Everyone, move aside."
"What’s wrong with my buddy?" Chen Yu turned around, his expression grim, "Your soul orbs, they aren’t poisonous, are they?"
"Buzz off, stop talking nonsense." The armored man reached the door, flipped open the spare keypad above the door, and expertly entered a string of numbers, "Didn’t you also evolve your ability once? This fluctuation indicates an evolution of the ability."
"Ability evolution?!"
The surrounding crowd exploded in excitement.
"What rotten luck?"
"With so many people and so many soul orbs, it’s normal for someone to evolve their ability."
"Why isn’t it me?"
"So this is what ability evolution feels like..."
Compared to the shock of the other Transcendents around him,
Chen Yu was terrified.

As the one who had "unearthed" his chubby neighbor’s abilities, he clearly knew that his neighbor’s ability was at the A+ level.
It had maxed out already!
How could it still evolve?
A++ maybe?
"Click."
The armored man unlocked the door, pushed it open, and everyone flowed in.
Chen Yu’s mind, previously frozen, quickly snapped back to reality. He swallowed and followed them inside, only to see the chubby neighbor sitting cross-legged on the floor, his eyes slowly opening.
"Abilities evolved?" the armored man surveyed the chubby neighbor from head to toe, asking, "Evolved by how many levels?"
"Seems like..." the chubby neighbor furrowed his brows, his consciousness delving deep into the source of his ability, "Seems like one level."
"Evolved one level? What was your ability level before?"
"C-."
"Hmm, not bad." The armored man nodded in understanding, "Though you’re still far from reaching level B, this is a pleasant surprise. Congratulations."
"Ah." The chubby neighbor looked up, spotting Chen Yu in the crowd, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head in disappointment, "Only moved up one level, when Yu evolved several levels back then."
"Heck." The armored man glanced at Chen Yu, crossed his arms, and turned to leave, "Everyone disperse. Those who’ve finished their soul orbs, gather in the great hall. The rest, hurry up."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Can we exchange contact information?"
"Brother, what good fortune..."
After brief exchanges, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Only Chen Yu remained inside, unblinkingly staring at the chubby neighbor.
"Yu... Yu, why are you staring at me like that." The chubby neighbor felt a chill from the stare.
"Thud!"
Chen Yu turned around, quickly shut the door, and locked it.
He then walked around the chubby neighbor several times with a serious expression, "Fatty, are you really sure your ability evolved one level?"
"Yes," the chubby neighbor was nervous, "But... but I’m not one hundred percent sure it’s one level. Anyway, it evolved."
Stopping his pacing, Chen Yu spoke up, "Then try using your ability now."
"I... I’m not angry right now."
"Shout!" Chen Yu stomped his foot, "Don’t forget the persecution Chen Yu inflicted on you!"
Chubby neighbor: "..."
Chen Yu: "... Why isn’t there a reaction?"
"I changed the name of my ability before coming here today."
"Changed it to what?"
"Power of the Beast," the chubby neighbor suddenly got excited, showing off his biceps, "Sounds badass, right?"
"Badass my ass! It’s not practical at all. The old one that cursed was better."
With hands behind his back, Chen Yu circled the chubby neighbor once more, his eyes shining brightly; he suddenly reached out and grabbed the neighbor’s hat.
Revealing the title [Outstanding Ability Holder] on it.
"What are you doing?" The chubby neighbor instinctively grabbed the hat back and put it on his head, "Yu, what... what exactly are you trying to do? Don’t scare me like that."
"When did your title change again?"
"Just after graduation yesterday, it changed soon after."
"Don’t you think, your current title doesn’t match your strength at all? It doesn’t have any badass vibes. It doesn’t suit you."
"Really?"
"Look." Chen Yu took off his own hat, [Gloriously Emasculated for Humanity], the words seeming to shine brightly, "How about this title of your Yu?"
The chubby neighbor: "It’s... it’s good."
Chen Yu: "Should I get you one too?"
"No, no, no, no! No need!" The chubby neighbor backed away in terror.
"Little mischief, don’t run. I’m experienced, it won’t hurt a bit..."
...
Half an hour passed swiftly.
The fifteen young Transcendents of the diplomatic squad returned to the hall one by one, gathering as per their team units.
"Hey, buddy." The long-haired man was the last to arrive and immediately approached his plump neighbor. "I heard your ability evolved? To what level?"
The plump neighbor: "C-level."
"Only evolved one level, huh." The long-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly, "Indeed, the talent people are born with is hard to surpass. I’m B-."
The plump neighbor: "..."
"Quiet."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the armored brute scanned the crowd and loudly asked, "Now, among you, who has a Body Refinement Secret Skill level lower than five?"
Everyone was silent.
"Who is below the sixth level?"
"Me." After hesitating for a moment, the plump neighbor awkwardly raised his hand. "I...my Defying Fate Skill is at level five."
"You reached level five after consuming five soul beads?" the brute frowned.
"He only ate four," Chen Yu raised his hand eagerly. "This isn’t fair! You still …"
"OK, let’s depart now!" The alliance’s overseer quickly stepped forward, sweeping his hand. "Time waits for no one! I wish you all a smooth journey and good fortune in battles!"
"Right, set off immediately!" The armored brute reacted. "Everyone, move at the cruising standard of level 5 Body Refinement Secret Skill speeds, follow me!"
With that, he tumbled to the entrance of the great hall and charged forward without looking back.
The young man in a duckbill cap closely followed him: "Let’s go!"
The other Transcendents exchanged glances and quickly followed him.
"Huh?" Chen Yu turned around, reaching out to the alliance overseer.
Only to see that the person had disappeared.
Chen Yu: "… Damn it."
"Yu," said the plump neighbor in the empty hall, the only ones left being him and Chen Yu. "Li Yao has already left."
"No rush, let’s stay at the back. Better if we get lost."
Exiting the hall, the two passed through a purple archway.
They found the armored brute and the others waiting in the plaza.
And outside the temple, unbeknownst to them, a drizzle had begun …
"The mission is urgent, can you two not drag behind?" the brute voiced his dissatisfaction.
"I’ll stay at the very back of the team," the young man in the duckbill cap looked at Chen Yu, with a double meaning: "To prevent anyone from falling behind."
Chen Yu tucked his hands in his pockets and whistled while looking up at the sky: "Weird, when did it start raining outside?"
"Stop dallying. Move!" the armored brute leapt forward again, sprinting towards the east.
"Everyone, follow up!" yelled the young man in the duckbill cap.
Chen Yu: "Don’t you think it’s strange? Rain in the deep winter?"
"Start running faster!"
...
About ten minutes after the armored brute led the diplomatic squad away from the plaza.
In the sky above the capital city, amidst the hidden dark clouds, the space silently fluctuated, twisted, and shattered. From the vibrant black void, two figures stepped out.
One was tall.
One was small.
The tall figure, entirely cloaked in a silver cape, revealed only a furry cat face.
The smaller figure was also completely shrouded in a cape of the same color.
"Incredible."
The tall cat-faced figure, looking down at the bustling capital below, shaking his great staff, spoke in human language: "’Heroes’ appear in the world, a sign from heaven. The human race really should not be underestimated."
"After all, it’s the ancestral civilization." The sharp voice of the small figure pointed out: "The foundation is still there."
"Unfortunately, looking at them..." The cat-faced guy focused his gaze on the central temple of the capital, his mouth corners twitching slightly, "they don’t even understand the signs from heaven."
"That’s also a result of our ’Hundred Races’ efforts," the small figure sneered. "The time is almost right, the curse is about to be lifted. The legendary ancestral civilization..."
"Can be exterminated," the cat-faced figure interjected.
"Should we still search for this ’hero’ who has suddenly emerged among humans?"
"Of course. At least he’s worth studying."
"All right."
"..."
The conversation ended.
The next moment.
The shattered space restored itself.
And the two figures, one big and one small, vanished into thin air,
as if they had never appeared.
