The chaotic stones had their own glowing characteristic, and Jia Yan only needed to bring them close to himself for the radiance to illuminate his body.
"Ugh, the devouring desire within my body is almost impossible to conceal!" Jia Yan looked at the two chaotic stones in front of him. To outsiders, he appeared to be merely observing the stones, but what others didn’t know was that he was constantly suppressing his devouring desire, yet he was somewhat unable to restrain it!
"Forget it, there might be surveillance here, but they can’t control if someone decides to place the chaotic stones in their own front limbs, right?"
The previously obtained chaotic stones came with a small collection bag on the side. The Strong Ones would put them in and no longer suffer from radiation issues. However, they had never considered that some strong individuals would not want to use the collection bags!
"Look, this guy isn’t even using a collection bag. His collection number will definitely be less now. He doesn’t use a collection bag, and the radiation will affect his body faster - he’d eventually collapse, and we’ll have to go in to save him!"
"Haha, don’t underestimate him. Maybe he just didn’t understand the boss’s explanation just now and has no idea what that bag is for. It’s not the first time we’ve seen such a foolish fellow. If he really collapses, we’ll have jokes for a month, haha!"
The external Strong Ones soldiers watched Jia Yan’s actions and laughed among themselves.
Their interest in Jia Yan’s gathering of chaotic stones increased, with some even betting on how many stones Jia Yan could ultimately collect.
"I bet he can only get ten, since surpassing the average Sky Level here, I think that’s already giving him too much credit."
"I bet fifteen, next he either collapses or can’t help using the mechanical arm on the side."
Tianpa Peng observed his colleagues placing bets, shaking his head helplessly. Although they were soldiers, they were still Strong Ones, and he couldn’t be too strict with their behavior.
"I’ll bet too," he suddenly said. "I bet Mr. Jia Yan can directly take all fifty chaotic stones."
"Eh! Boss, you didn’t think so just a moment ago. Why the change of mind!" a soldier exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, you don’t know, but I’ve seen someone like him before. When he entered, we doubted him too, assuming that an Existence in the Early Stage of Star Space couldn’t possibly collect all the stones. But that guy, just like Mr. Jia Yan here, was very steady, and he ended up collecting all fifty stones. I feel Mr. Jia Yan might have a chance too."
"Boss, aren’t you thinking too much? His steadiness is indeed impressive, but him foolishly taking the chaotic stones in his limbs, isn’t he bound to fall? I can’t believe he’ll last until thirty stones. That’s something only a median strength Strong One among us here could achieve."
The neighboring soldiers expressed their disbelief.
Tianpa Peng didn’t insist too much, as he himself somewhat doubted that Jia Yan could achieve this feat.
Inside, Jia Yan continued his actions.
His movements did not slow down as the outsiders had thought, but at this moment, they gradually became faster...
This fast pace was actually because Jia Yan was intentionally slowing himself down.
In his Compound Eyes, there was a sparkle as he looked at the scene unfolding before him.
"The chaotic stones here are too few, and not by a little. After all, they are only here for symbolic gathering by the Strong Ones during the conference. For me, even if I used up all the chaotic stones here, it would only provide a bit of the starting energy for my mutation..."
As he moved, the dark glow in his Compound Eyes became increasingly intense.
Unknown to everyone, within his front limbs, those palm-sized chaotic stones, enveloped by a strange fluid, began dissolving directly.
This fluid was the Condensation Fluid, a long-unseen and most magical substance from Jia Yan’s mutating capabilities, playing a crucial role.
The Condensation Fluid slowly appeared from his front limbs, directly enveloping the chaotic stones and began the melting process.
The chaotic stones, being the renowned energy material of this galaxy, did not dissolve quickly under Jia Yan’s current Condensation Fluid. They were just wrapped in the fluid, rolling eerily.
But the energy had already started entering Jia Yan’s body!
"Awesome! This level of energy, it’s dozens of times stronger than any I’ve tried before!"
Jia Yan rejoiced inwardly; to him, nothing was more comfortable than reaching the peak of mutation and enjoying these most suitable top-level energies!
"The twenty-first, the twenty-second! These chaotic stones are not even enough to trigger my initial energy for mutation, but all the stones in the Chaotic Stone Area here will definitely be enough to start it. I just want to jump down now... but not yet, let’s wait until all fifty are collected!"
Jia Yan continued to collect rapidly, unaware that his speed was increasing. He showed no signs of pain, appearing utterly joyful instead!
"This this this... what’s going on with this guy? How is he getting faster? He’s already at thirty stones. Who said he would faint at twenty? At this rate, he’s sure to collect all fifty, terrifying! Truly, the Strong Ones from outside have vast resources. Ultimately, there are such strong individuals who can gather such a frightening number of chaotic stones in the Early Stars Stage. Besides the two captains, who else could accomplish this?"
The increased speed of Jia Yan amazed the external Strong One soldiers. Their expressions remained utterly unsuspecting.
However, Tianpa Peng, the captain, then began to look concerned.
The sight of Jia Yan’s speed at first surprised him, even making him wonder if the other had used some unique method.
But when Jia Yan’s speed increased again, and even his body showed signs of urgency, he exclaimed, "Something’s wrong! This Jia Yan is up to something!"
