Although Graham had gained a blessing in disguise from his injury, it also served as a warning to Xiao Ran. The gap between B-class and A-Class Pilots, and even between A-Class Pilots themselves, was an insurmountable chasm. Given Graham and the others' strength, facing an A-Class Pilot alone would almost always end in defeat. Even victory would only come down to chance or an accident.
When facing a true A-Class Pilot, none of them had even the slightest chance of winning. Xiao Ran understood this deeply. The clearest example was himself—when facing people like Graham, he had absolutely no possibility of losing. Looking at things now, Graham, Basak, Cruze, Luo, Naluo, and the others, who were only B-class at present, were gradually becoming unable to keep pace with him.
That was not to say Graham and the others were weak. On the contrary, among B-class Pilots, they could absolutely be considered exceptionally strong. It could only be said that Xiao Ran had grown too quickly, so quickly that they could no longer keep up for the time being. At Xiao Ran's current rate of growth, the next Mission World might very well become one where B-class Pilots were the norm. By then, as his followers and members of the same team, the advantage they held in such missions would naturally cease to exist.

They could be considered a legion's high-end combat power and mainstay, while A-Class Pilots were naturally the true core combat force. Graham and the others—especially Luo, who possessed Mechanical Technology—would absolutely be among the very best B-class Pilots in other teams and legions, receiving the finest training and treatment.
Of course, the same was true on Xiao Ran's side and within the
