My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

In the empty Secret Realm, Seventeen had just awoken from the afterglow of evolution while Sophia's figure had vanished, leaving only a pair of huge, pitch-black, sinister eyes fixated on what lay ahead.

Lian Yue was right within the line of sight of these dark, giant eyes. Her massive wolf tail shot up, the fluffy fur exploding outward, while her pupils narrowed and her teeth bared, feeling as if everything about her was being seen through by this pair of giant black eyes, with nothing left hidden.

'This is terrifying, aaaah!' she muttered.

Although the giant eyes came from Sophia and being seen through didn't really matter, her instincts were quite sharp, and the sensation of being stared down by these pitch-black eyes was a bit uncomfortable.

Lian Yue didn't dare to speak, afraid of disturbing the two. She tiptoed and silently moved to the side, moving again and again.

Finally, when she had moved out of the range of the giant black eyes, the feeling that had made her wolf fur stand on end disappeared, and Lian Yue sighed in relief.

'But what exactly are these giant eyes, aaaah?'

——

'Phantom Night Eyes'

'Ability ①: Stealth in the Night. Sophia can completely hide her form in the darkness of night. With her talent actively activated, Sophia can share this stealth ability with her Created Black Crows.'

'Ability ②: Formless in the Night. Under the cover of night, Sophia's insight ability is greatly enhanced. With this talent actively activated, Sophia can manifest a pair of giant black eyes capable of keen perception, significantly extending her scope of vision, and these eyes can also pierce through illusions and see through enemies.

The Formless in the Night ability can also be shared with the Created Black Crows, albeit with diminished effects.'

'Ability ③: Those with the Phantom Night Eyes talent, regardless of whether they are in broad daylight or any other time of day, always perceive it as night.'

"This talent is quite interesting."

Just considering the talent's effects, it's actually not very strong. Both stealth and insight are just decent, but compared with real Epic Abilities, they seem to fall a bit short.

However, when paired with the Created Black Crows, the stealth and insight effects become extremely fitting!

"Sophia is already one of the best scouts in the Tianyuan Territory."

Her position as number one scout comes from her crows.

Sophia's Black Crows can share their vision and don't actually die, allowing her to use them to continuously explore dangerous regions or directly infiltrate enemy lines to gather intelligence.

However, Sophia's crows had quite a few shortcomings until now.

The stealth ability of her crows was just passable, difficult to detect at night or in dark environments like dense forests. But in the daytime or open spaces, Sophia's Black Crows were extremely conspicuous. Compared to stealth, the insight ability of the crows was weaker, practically non-existent; the crows relied solely on sight, yet their vision was far from as sharp as that of the hawks.

Now...

With this talent bolstering them, whether in terms of stealth or insight, the Black Crows could be considered top-notch, and they no longer had the weakness of being less effective in daylight.

After all, with the talent active, it is perpetually night.

Mu Yuan decided to give it a try.

He snapped his fingers and several lustrously black crows fluttered out from his sleeve.

The sun was blazing at that moment, yet the crows seemed to bathe in the night, their forms gradually disappearing.

Mu Yuan found Isloa and then shook his head, "Forget it, you're too strong; can't really test anything."

He then called over Daisy, who was working in the City Lord's Mansion.

The Fox Lady, Daisy, was now a Fourth-order Peak Strongman herself, and although she had not yet evolved into an Epic Life, her Excellence Three-star Stage + Fourth-order Peak status better represented the vast majority of strongmen in the world.

"Take a look over here."

Mu Yuan pointed toward a street lamp not far away.

"Is this street lamp broken?" Daisy wondered aloud, but such a trivial matter wouldn't require the boss to call upon her personally.

Mu Yuan shook his finger.

Thinking it over, Daisy ventured a guess, "Does someone need to replace the street lamp?" She glanced at herself and then at the Lord.

Mu Yuan sighed.

As Daisy gazed at the street lamp, she stared intently for several seconds before she noticed something amiss. She focused harder, her fox ears perked, her brow furrowing slightly.

After a long pause...

"There's something there, it's... a crow! Boss, your crow is really good at hiding."

Mu Yuan: "..."

Being only a few meters away from the Black Crow, Daisy had to concentrate and calm her mind to notice it, meaning the chances for a Fourth-order Peak Strongman of her caliber to detect the crow were extremely low.

Moreover, Black Crows were expendable; even if discovered, it was no big deal as long as they weren't all found out.

Daisy ran to the street lamp below, looking up and pondering.

Mu Yuan also fell into thought.

"Does Daisy really represent a Fourth-order Peak Strongman?"

...

The environment of the Secret Realm was after all rudimentary but still safe. After the Evolutionary Radiance had subsided, Sophia was immersed in a Mysterious State for a good while before she finally woke up.

After she woke up, Mu Yuan didn't pause but immediately arranged for the third person, Lian Yue, to undergo evolution.

Crouching down, Lian Yue too transformed into light.

'Ding!'

'Notification: Your troop 'Lian Yue' has bathed in the Miracle Light, evolved into an Epic Two Stars lifeform, and awakened the Epic Talent 'Extreme in Moonlight'.'

——

'Extreme in Moonlight'

'Description: Under this talent, all of Lian Yue's 'Moon Series skills' receive a moderate enhancement. Moreover, Lian Yue can absorb moonlight to draw upon the power of the moon. This lunar power can significantly enhance the Great Force of Moon Series skills and can also replenish the duration of special Moon Series skills or reset their cooldowns.'

This talent provided Lian Yue with an all-encompassing boost.

If Arrow of Polar Star is considered a 'star' series strongman, and Sophia a 'night' series strongman, then Lian Yue would be a 'moon' series strongman. Her main abilities are all closely associated with the moon.
