After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

[Recorded Time - July, Astrological Year 3532]

In front of the old Storm Star Science Research Institute, a group of people stepped off a hovercar and walked side by side.

Today is Leng Ran's full moon celebration. Leng Ziyi secretly contacted Xue Lang, the current dean of the research institute, to conduct a thorough physical examination for Leng Ran.

Accompanying him were not only the head of the family's wife, Yu Li, but also his good friend from the capital planet; it seemed that they had reached some kind of deal.

Looking sideways, Yangon noticed that the new visitor had beautiful long silver hair, tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, looking very elegant.

Leng Ziyi held Yu Li's hand and said, "Ah Song, thank you for making this special trip. Please take care of Ranran's matter."

Zhao Lesong laughed: "It's a mutually beneficial thing, why be so polite?"

Yangon stood guard beside the suspended capsule: "The main building of the research institute is just ahead. We've arrived."

Upon seeing the person arrive, Xue Lang, who was waiting at the door, went to greet them.

At this time, Xue Lang looked to be only in his forties or fifties, with his black hair neatly combed. If it weren't for his stern expression, which was exactly the same as that of his grandfather, the regimental commander, it would be difficult for Leng Ran to connect the two together.

"Commander Leng, Commander Yu, how have you been?" Xue Lang looked at Zhao Lesong. "A member of the Zhao family? You are Zhao Lesong? Take a closer look, you do resemble your elder brother Zhao Lexuan somewhat."

Zhao Lesong's expression stiffened for a moment. His elder brother, Zhao Lexuan, had defected from the Federation with classified information, entered the Chaos Zone, and disappeared. This was not a secret within the military, but no one wanted to mention it.

Leng Ziyi coughed lightly: "Dean Xue, this is a brother I trust. Let's skip the old times and get Ranran examined first."

Xue Lang led the way in: "Alright, since you trust him, come to my lab with me."

.......

The scene shifts rapidly, and the camera moves to the interior of Xue Lang's laboratory.

The laboratory was spotless and tidy, filled with all sorts of sophisticated instruments. At that moment, Xue Lang kept flipping through the latest examination report displayed on the screen, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

“This situation… is simply unheard of.” Xue Lang looked solemnly at Leng Ziyi and Yu Li. “This is of great importance, and I need to have it confirmed by more professional people. Hua Yulu, our head of the Department of Exotic Beast Research, let her take a look at the test results before making a conclusion.”

Yu Li said decisively, "We can look at the test results, but Ranran's identity must never be revealed!"

Xue Lang: "I understand. Please go to the small room in the back for a moment. I have installed one-way glass, so you can't see into the small room from the laboratory, but you can see clearly into the laboratory. Please rest assured."

Leng Ziyi took the lead and left first. Yu Li glanced worriedly at Leng Ran lying in the machine, but was still pulled away by Leng Ziyi.

Yangon followed without any emotion, while Zhao Lesong looked thoughtful.

Seeing that all four of them had entered the small house, Xue Lang dialed a number: "Director Hua, come to my laboratory, it's urgent."

A moment later, Hua Yulu, who looked to be only in her early twenties, wearing a white lab coat and exuding a certain arrogance, walked into the laboratory.

That temperament was neither like the frenzied spider lily nor the gentle headmaster, but rather a subtle state somewhere in between.

"Dean Xue, you wanted to see me?" Hua Yulu quickly noticed Leng Ran's presence. "This baby is the reason you came to see me, isn't it?"

Xue Lang moved aside from the screen: "Well, let's take a look at this test report."

The two tacitly avoided mentioning Leng Ran's identity; one was unwilling to say more, and the other was unwilling to ask more questions.

For those in their line of work, knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.

Hua Yulu walked to the screen and looked at the cold, indifferent test data. At first, she was nonchalant, but her expression gradually became serious, as if she was repeatedly confirming something. After about ten minutes, she finally looked away from the screen.

"How can she still be alive!" Hua Yulu looked at Leng Ran as if she had seen a ghost. "No... or rather, can she still be called human?!"

Xue Lang vaguely guessed the outcome: "Of course she's human, but Director Hua, what do you mean by that?"

Hua Yulu took a deep breath: "Dean Xue, as you can see, a peculiar energy has filled her entire body, especially her spiritual sea. Although there are subtle differences, this energy should be the 'authority energy' unique to alien beasts!"

Xue Lang pondered, "Is it really power? But compared to the power energy of the alien beasts I've seen, the energy within her is purer and... very special."

Hua Yulu said excitedly, "That's exactly the problem! We all know that B-level and above alien beasts will have authority energy in their bodies. Through this authority, they can command lower-level alien beasts to serve them."

"The higher the level of the alien beast, the higher its authority energy will be. The alien beast of a more noble race will have a purer authority energy. For example, all primitive alien beasts are superior to mutated alien beasts. Furthermore, among primitive alien beasts, the rarer Spirit Eye Beast is superior to the relatively common Void Beast."

Xue Lang also realized the seriousness of the problem: "So, given this child's physical abilities..."

He dared not say anything more, and unconsciously glanced in the direction of the hut.

Hua Yulu affirmed, "That's enough to make even S-class alien beasts of higher races bow down in submission!"

The atmosphere froze instantly; you could hear a pin drop in the laboratory.

Hua Yulu seemed to have made a connection to something, and quickly walked to the sleeping Leng Ran, staring at her for a while.

"With power at the level of a true god, have her eyes already been dyed a brilliant gold?"

"It's a miracle that the powers of the alien beasts can actually integrate perfectly into a human body. She's very likely not bound by human hierarchy... her mental strength and physical constitution are on the same level," Hua Yulu murmured. "So, humans have a real chance to possess the abilities of those alien beasts!"

"Director Hua, let me give you some advice: don't research people with superpowers." Xue Lang's face was serious. "We can't afford the price of coveting powers that don't belong to humans."

Hua Yulu's gaze deepened: "Time will tell, Dean Xue."

The personal terminal on her wrist vibrated, and Hua Yulu answered impatiently: "Who is it? Get to the point quickly."

A sobbing voice came from the other end of the computer: "Ms. Hua! Xiaoxue is in trouble, she's at the First Hospital now!"

"What?" Hua Yulu's face turned pale. She didn't bother to greet Dean Xue anymore and rushed out of the laboratory in a panic, disappearing from Yangon's sight.

"Sigh, you all heard that, come out." Xue Lang pressed a button on the control panel, activating the data destruction mode. All the screens lit up red, and the data displayed on them was deleted line by line, leaving no trace.

The four of them walked out of the small house. Yu Li gently touched Leng Ran, while Leng Ziyi and Zhao Lesong exchanged a glance, seemingly communicating with each other through telepathy.

Xue Lang: "Judging from your expressions, you don't seem surprised? That makes sense. You are all high-level commanders, so you can naturally sense that unusual mental energy fluctuation."

"So even if I delete all the test data today, once this child appears in the sight of other commanders, it still can't be hidden."

“We have a way to handle this, so please don’t worry about it,” Leng Ziyi replied. “Thank you for your hard work today, Dean Xue. Please go ahead with your work, we won’t bother you any longer.”

Xue Lang grabbed Zhao Lesong's sleeve: "Wait, Zhao Lesong, stay here. I have something to say to you alone."

Zhao Lesong was clearly taken aback. He didn't know why the dean, whom he was meeting for the first time, wanted to keep him around, but he still went along with it.

"Ziyi, you guys wait for me outside for a bit."
