Whether ordinary prisoners or mutants, everyone wore shocked expressions.
They had just been chatting and betting on when Number Thirty-Seven would be caught. Most of them had thought he would be caught within a day or two, but then...
Now they were being told that the target they had been gloating over and discussing with such relish had not only escaped, but had also killed a group of people sent after him? He was that strong? How could he be that strong? Nearly a hundred prisoners found it unbelievable.
At that moment, a Black man named Claude shouted, "You're joking, right? Number Thirty-Seven has that kind of ability?"
"You're not messing with us, are you?"
"Even I, Number Twenty, wouldn't dare say I could kill more than a dozen guys carrying guns!"
Hearing this, the prisoners all nodded in agreement, feeling that he had a point.
In an instant, countless suspicious gazes turned toward the person who had revealed the news.
Even the Freckled Youth who had spoken with Su Yao felt that the man was unbelievable.
Even lies needed to make some sense! Seeing himself being doubted, Gaffey Grigri grew anxious. "Damn it, I swear I'm absolutely not lying!"
As he spoke, he explained, "I heard it was because Number Thirty-Seven has more than five Mutant Abilities that he was able to kill those people pursuing him!"
The moment he finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and everyone's faces filled with disbelief.
At that moment, they wondered whether the man had lost his mind to say something like that! More than five abilities?! How was that possible?! Not only did the ordinary prisoners refuse to believe it, but the mutants scoffed at it even more, feeling it was utterly impossible.
How could anyone possess more than five abilities? Was he even a mutant? They were all mutants, so how could someone be that special? However, their disbelief did not last long before another person who had made inquiries shattered it.
That person had specifically asked a Prison Guard he was close with, only to receive the same answer! For a moment, everyone was plunged into shock.
At the same time, they felt envy and jealousy.
However, those feelings did not last long either. As another piece of news spread, they turned into gloating and pity.
Those two monsters, Number One and Number Five, who were locked in special isolation cells and had been heavily brainwashed, were actually being sent out to hunt Number Thirty-Seven? "Number Thirty-Seven is finished!"
"Those two are monsters. No one can stand against them!"
"Number Five is a monster. You can't kill him at all. Even if his head gets smashed open, he won't die. Number One is even more disgusting..."
At the mention of Number One, the mutant prisoners' eyes were mostly filled with disgust. They feared him, yet also wished they could kill him.
During Pulse Interference, that feeling of being unable to use their abilities was something they truly did not want to experience a second time! Once they learned that those two had been sent out, the prisoners began making bets on how long it would take Number Thirty-Seven to be caught. Most bet on three days, while a small number bet on a week. Almost no one thought he could escape.
Some even thought that the frail Number Thirty-Seven would die at the hands of Number One and Number Five! While the prisoners were noisily discussing the matter, Su Yao, far away in a remote corner, was diligently practicing Sunshine Pervades.

With each round of practice, the experience bar for Sunshine Pervades rose at a steady pace.
The sun gradually set, and the sky darkened.
Su Yao stopped and summoned the panel for a look.
Ability: Sunshine Pervades (98/100) Level 1
Su Yao was delighted at first, then frowned.
"Still two points short?"
Sensing the energy within his body, he hesitated.
Based on the energy in his body, he could still cast the weakened version of Sunshine Pervades two more times, but...
"After using it, I won't have much Light Energy left. If I run into anyone hunting me then..."
Su Yao shook his head and directly cast aside the thought of leveling up.
There were only two uses left anyway. He could wait until tomorrow morning.
With that thought, anticipation appeared in Su Yao's eyes.
He left the place and began searching for a concealed shelter.
The night passed quickly, and nothing unexpected happened.

Half-asleep, Su Yao was awakened by the notification sounds ringing by his ear.
Feeling the abundant energy within his body, he eagerly cast the weakened version of Sunshine Pervades.

As the final notification sounded, Su Yao immediately sensed a change within himself.
Ability: Sunshine Pervades (0/500) Level 2
A familiar Warm Current flowed around his body, and amid an itch spreading across his entire body, something seemed to have changed.
Once that feeling faded, Su Yao distinctly felt that controlling the special sunlight of Sunshine Pervades had become easier.
He looked up at the bright, sunny sky, and an idea came to him.
The next instant, the sunlight within nearly twenty meters twisted slightly.
Su Yao quickly stopped.
"About twenty meters..."
Su Yao was somewhat disappointed.
Of course, although he was a little disappointed, compared with the Level 1 Sunshine Pervades from before, he could barely accept it.
At Level 1, it could at most cover most of a room. Being able to cover twenty meters now was already not bad! Moreover, those twenty meters were based on the energy currently in his body! The limit of Level 2 Sunshine Pervades was not twenty meters. It was only because the energy in his body was holding him back that he could not unleash Sunshine Pervades at full power! "Once Black Particle reaches Level 3 and the energy in my body increases, how far will the range of Sunshine Pervades grow?"
Anticipation filled Su Yao's eyes.
Compared with Levels 1 and 2, Level 3 would be a qualitative transformation. The increase in energy would definitely be much greater then! As for now...
Sensing the energy in his body gradually replenishing, Su Yao silently estimated once it had fully recovered.
Aside from Sunshine Pervades, he could use his other abilities roughly fifty-odd times! If they were Level 1 abilities, he could even use them more than a hundred times, enough to fight at full strength for two or three minutes! Thinking of Level 1 abilities, Su Yao glanced at the panel and discovered that there were no Level 1 abilities left. They had all risen to Level 2.
Glancing at the meager Energy Points on the panel, his gaze shifted to the Unlock Progress.
(Unlock Progress 79%)
"I wonder if reaching 80% will grant me a new ability?"
"Levitation Flight, or something else?"
Anticipation arose in Su Yao's heart.
Would the abilities he obtained later become even stronger? With that thought, he did not continue practicing his abilities. He planned to raise the Unlock Progress to 80% first! Under the sunlight, notification sounds rang continuously in his ears.
