Aoki had been to the Rocket Team Research Base in the Lake of Wrath countless times in his previous life. He was very familiar with the terrain, but the current layout was completely different from the previous layout.
Now, the various facilities in the base were very intact. It had not experienced a sudden attack by the Alliance, so the base looked brand new.
When Aoki came in his previous life, the base was already in ruins. All the facilities were destroyed. The walls, the ground, and every corner had traces of battle.
At that time, he was also assigned a task to clean up the various debris in the base so that the Rocket Team could rebuild the research base.
Therefore, Aoki was very familiar with the various terrains in the base.
He followed closely behind the young man, bypassing the various checkpoints, and walked into the depths of the base.
Aoki remembered very clearly that the entire base had a total of five floors underground. The authority required to enter each floor increased with each level. The young man who led him had already reached the third floor underground. The authority required to reach here was at least at the level of a squadron leader.
When they reached the entrance of the fourth floor, the young man finally stopped and entered a string of numbers on the keyboard of the machine door.
After a moment, a figure appeared on the screen above the keyboard. It was a middle-aged man with a moustache.
"Sir, that person is here!" The young man said respectfully to the person on the screen.
"Oh? Bring him in. "The middle-aged man with the moustache narrowed his eyes and said when he saw Aoki behind the young man.
After saying that, the door that could only be opened with a certain amount of authority was opened.
The young man led Aoki inside again.
According to the normal authority setting, the previous door could only be opened with the authority of a squadron leader. The young man in front of him needed to ask for permission before he could enter again. This meant that the young man should have the identity and strength of a squadron leader of the Rocket Team.
The middle-aged man who appeared on the screen was obviously at least a squadron leader of the Rocket Team. The person that the Shadow Institute had arranged for him to contact was probably him.
The captain of the Rocket Team was generally at the peak of the elite trainers. There were a few stronger existences who were at the early stage of the Quasi-Heavenly King Realm. The highest level that Aoki had reached in his previous life was around this level.
If one wanted to climb higher, strength was a part of it. Contribution points were also a very important indicator.
The Lake of Wrath Research Base had a total of five floors. The area of each floor decreased gradually, just like an inverted pyramid. Aoki was currently on the fourth floor, which was considered a relatively secret existence.
With his true strength, he was not qualified to touch this place. Everything he did was for Ying's sake.
Not long after, Aoki was led by the young man to an office.
There was a large table in the middle of the office, behind which sat a middle-aged man in a white coat with a mustache. He was the one who had given Aoki and the others permission to enter.
Seeing Aoki come in, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up. "This little guy is the mission target, right?"
The young man from the Rocket Team lowered his head and replied respectfully, "It should be, sir. I have seen his medal."
After receiving the young man's affirmation, the middle-aged man looked at Aoki from head to toe. His eyes were focused on the dark crow on Aoki's shoulder.
Suddenly, the dark crow felt as if it had been targeted by some jackal, wolf, tiger, or leopard. Its feathers all stood up.
Chuckling to himself, the middle-aged man reached out and pressed a yellow button on the table. With a "kaka" sound, the wall next to him directly separated from the middle, revealing a secret training room.
The middle-aged man rubbed his mustache with his hand and said with a smile, "Mo Yan, go test his strength."
"Yes, sir!" The young man from the Rocket Team who led Aoki here was named Mo Yan. He replied respectfully.
What did that mean? Test his strength? Was this also part of the Shadow Mission?
Aoki walked into the secret training room with some doubts.
The training room was very large, and there were many specialized training tools around it. Right in the middle of the room was a battle arena. Looking at the material of the arena, it shouldn't be the kind that could be destroyed easily.
"Show your strength. As long as you pass the test, you will be able to get what you want." The middle-aged man sat on a comfortable chair with one leg crossed over the other. His right hand kept rubbing the mustache on his mouth as he spoke with a hint of ridicule.
Test his strength? The opponent was obviously a squadron leader, okay?
Aoki couldn't help but feel helpless. How was he supposed to fight such an opponent?
"Oh, the difference in strength is too big. It's meaningless. Mo Yan, just take one sprite. Little guy, you don't have a limit on the number of sprites you can have, nor the rules of the battle. Just go all out." The middle-aged man seemed to have seen through Aoki's thoughts.
Aoki slightly narrowed his eyes. He had some sprites that he couldn't show, but if the opponent only had one sprite, he still had a chance. More importantly, the middle-aged man said that he didn't have a limit on the number of sprites he could have.
Besides, Aoki didn't believe that the man would dare to kill him directly. He wasn't strong at the moment, but he represented Ying, one of the two vice-leaders of the Rocket Team, a king-level being.
Even if Ying wouldn't make a big fuss over a small character like him, the middle-aged man who was sitting aside and watching the show wouldn't want to leave a bad impression on Ying because of a small character like him.
Mo Yan took out a pokeball with the Rocket Team logo on it from his belt and threw it into the arena. A large-mouthed bat appeared in the arena.
Aoki's eyes shone as the information about the bat popped up.
Sprite: Large-Mouthed Bat (Light Green)
Gender: Male
Level: 32
Attributes: Poison + Flying
Characteristics: Spiritual Power
Portable Items: None
Hereditary Skills: Rising Wind, Surprising Strike
Basic Skills: Absorb, Supersonic Wave, Scare, Bite, Wing Attack, Strange Light, Air Blade, High Speed Star, Poisonous Fang, Black Vision

Skill Learning Device: Awakening Power: Water, Shadow Ball, Sleep Talk, Substitute
Sprites at the level of platoon leaders were all above level 30. The level-32 large-mouthed bat in front of Aoki was probably the weakest one in his team.
He didn't use his full power, partly because he didn't think he could afford it, and partly because he didn't want Ying to know that he was bullying the weak, which would be bad for his future.
Ying wouldn't go so far as to attack a Rocket Team member like him, but as long as she casually showed her dissatisfaction with him, countless people would be willing to take his head to attract her attention.
Since the enemy was afraid of him, Aoki had more room to maneuver.
