Four months later.
Derek walked on the sidewalks admiring the beautiful rowdy view, he was currently in a dazzling street that housed most of the best restaurants in the district, covered in a hood, he was indistinguishable from the crowd. The fresh stronghold air made his lips curve upwards a little. Staying in the base for months made him feel like a modern hermit since he showed signs of evolution, Christopher prohibited him from leaving the base so he had to call Angel and inform her to her dismay, her pouting face was really cute, she probably had a grudge with the old man now.
While he hadn't evolved, neither he nor anyone at the base was bothered, reaching the gate of evolution didn't mean one would evolve immediately but it meant evolution was close, but within this period, he had finally mastered his martial arts to a high level, his strength had long broken through 700kg. His greatest accomplishment was learning Steel's combo and using it against it.
