When Su Jiu began fighting Angel Yan, he already knew that he could not defeat her in his current state and could only outsmart her.
So with that first slash, Su Jiu tested whether his blade could cut through Angel Yan's body, and found that it could.
Every time he wounded Angel Yan, he left behind a small petal inside her body, then kept fighting her so she would not notice the abnormalities in her body in a short time.
That was why he had the chance for those two later killing blows. But Su Jiu was only a first-generation Super Soldier. How could he possibly defeat Yan? Fighting her had merely been a way to show her his potential.
Of course, Su Jiu was not stupid enough to reveal all his strength.
After finishing his fight with Yan, Su Jiu stood in the sky and said to her, "Now you've seen it clearly. This is our current combat strength, but that doesn't mean it will stay this way forever."
Yan looked at her blood on her armor and said, "You really planned this well. If you were just a little stronger, I might have fallen."
Su Jiu smiled. "No choice. This was the only way."
Yan curled her lips. "I understand. Queen Keisha will come to Earth when the time comes. You can talk face-to-face then. This time, I only came to see whether you were qualified."
"Fine. When the time comes, pass a message to Queen Keisha for me. Cooperation is possible, but forget about an alliance. I trust you angels wouldn't think much of us as we are now, anyway."
Angel Yan put away her weapon. "No... no, you are qualified. You never used that weapon. If you had, I would have died this time. The fact that you possess that level of weapon and can even wield it means you are qualified."
Su Jiu looked at Yan strangely. "What exactly did you come here for today?"
"I simply came over because I wanted to beat you up. But you hid yourselves very well. Even our Insight Eye couldn't find you. A friend helped us roughly calculate your location." Angel Yan spoke mischievously.
Su Jiu's mouth twitched. "So we were discovered. I thought we were hiding pretty well."
Yan chuckled and left with the two angels.
Su Jiu rubbed his right hand. "So damn hard. It would've been better if she hadn't been wearing armor."
Just as Su Jiu was sighing, a system notification pulled him back to reality.
System: Congratulations on completing the permanent mission: Challenges Anytime, Anywhere. Reward: 50,000 Energy Coins. Hidden condition achieved: Narrow victory by one move. Reward: One golden bound Little Elf, pending collection. Reward: One Cloud Maker, pending collection.
Su Jiu clicked his tongue in amazement as he read the introduction, delight filling his face.

Su Jiu clicked his tongue as he looked at Rayquaza. "Isn't this a Sky Dragon? The system actually brought this thing out. Doesn't that prove the legends I mentioned?"
Su Jiu said, "System, collect Rayquaza."
A draconic aura rose. Su Jiu felt as though he had stepped on something, and when he looked down, he saw a red Sky Dragon using its head to hold him aloft. Su Jiu bent down and stroked the Sky Dragon. "From now on, you're still the Sky Dragon. Your name is still Sky Dragon. The color is different, but that's fine."
After Su Jiu said that, the Sky Dragon let out two cries.
The people on the deck shuddered unconsciously when they saw a two-hundred-meter dragon appear beneath Su Jiu's feet.
Liu Chuang said, "Every time, Xiao Jiu comes up with some weird new thing. Now even a dragon has appeared. If those people saw this, wouldn't they go crazy?"
Baili Shouyue adjusted his glasses and nearly fell off the Hyperion.
Kiana had put popcorn into her mouth and forgotten to chew. "A dragon... it's a real dragon... Ah! It hurts, it hurts, I bit my tongue!" Kiana clutched her mouth and sat on the ground, repeatedly crying out in pain while still eating popcorn.
Mei looked at the Sky Dragon and said, "It doesn't look like one."
Baili Shouyue responded, "How doesn't it look like one?"
Mei opened a book and said, "A dragon has 'antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like an ox.' 'It has whiskers beside its mouth, a bright pearl beneath its jaw, and reverse scales beneath its throat. It is a divine beast capable of transformation, able to summon wind and rain, benefiting all living things.'"
After Mei finished speaking, she looked at the Sky Dragon. "This probably isn't a real dragon, right?"
Mei looked at the book again. "The picture doesn't look like the one beneath the Captain's feet."
When Zhao Yun saw this, he immediately said, "The Captain is coming down. Why not just ask him yourselves?"
Su Jiu rode the Sky Dragon around the Hyperion once before landing on the deck. Fifty Cute Pets crawled all over the Sky Dragon, and it was not angry at all. Instead, it seemed quite happy.
Once Su Jiu got down, everyone gathered around him. Liu Chuang was the first to speak. "Xiao Jiu, is this a dragon? A real dragon?"
Su Jiu saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly and said, "Not a real dragon. It's probably a branch of the Dragon Race!" Su Jiu did not really understand the dragon race himself.
Besides, in the legends of dragons, they were righteous gods among the immortals, and some of the other tales were even more outrageous.
If a real dragon actually came here, this world might be finished, Su Jiu thought.
Then he looked at the Sky Dragon again. This was not a true dragon, just a branch. I wasn't wrong.
Mei looked at the picture in the book and said, "I was right. This isn't a real dragon."
When the Sky Dragon landed on the deck, Kiana had already stopped eating popcorn. With a loud laugh, she ran onto the Sky Dragon's back.
Baili Shouyue also ran over to take advantage of the situation.
Actually, Zhao Yun understood better than anyone whether it was a dragon. If Zhao Yun were given a drop of true dragon blood right now, he would probably jump for joy. Most of Zhao Yun's martial skills were related to dragons.
Su Jiu took out a machine, and everyone immediately looked over curiously again.
Su Jiu said, "Come take a look. What kind of house do you want?"
The entire group rushed over in a swarm, with the Sky Dragon included.
Su Jiu said, "Don't rush. One at a time. Everyone will get one." After speaking, Su Jiu pulled out a virtual panel ten meters long and five meters wide. "You can arrange things however you want on it, but the actual items will still be on the Hyperion. If anything happens, the clouds must be recalled at any time."
Everyone had grown used to such things. They all began doodling on the virtual panel. Su Jiu drew the Sky Dragon a bird's-nest-style dwelling in one corner.
Meanwhile, Su Jiu claimed the central area for himself and created a meeting room.
Once everyone had finished doodling, they stepped aside.
The Cloud Maker then spat out a square cloud mass five kilometers long and five kilometers wide.
Along the edges of the square cloud mass, all kinds of fences rose first. Then, in the middle, a uniquely styled meeting room rose up.
How should one describe the meeting room? It had an enormous long table, with rows of oversized sofas beside it, each large enough to be used as a bed.
There were twelve white pillars on each side, connecting to a cauliflower-like roof above.
After the meeting room was completed, fifty different rooftops began taking shape in the lower-right corner. There were slipper-shaped rooftops, mushroom-shaped rooftops, Little Duck-shaped rooftops, syringe-shaped rooftops, and more, along with an extra wolf-head rooftop.
A bird's-nest shape appeared in the upper-right corner.
In the lower-left corner, a crescent-moon-shaped rooftop began to form. There was no need to look to know it belonged to Su Jiu, that secretly flamboyant man.
Then came Kiana's, shaped like a White Rabbit Candy.
Liu Chuang's was even simpler. He used his old big-brother appearance: a thick gold chain, a cigarette in his mouth, and sunglasses.
There was no need to mention Baili Shouyue's; it was shaped like a pair of goggles.
Zhao Yun's was simple too, with the feel of a little attic.
Mei directly turned the image of Su Jiu drawing his blade during the battle just now into the rooftop.
It made Su Jiu cringe with embarrassment.
A large rest area was directly planned out in the upper-left corner.
There's still so much unused space. If more people come later, we can just add them in, Su Jiu thought.
