Mo Ran's current level is Mutation VIII. If she advances one more level, she will become a Mutation IX creature.
She would be at the same level as Xiao Bai, the highest tier of existence.
"Upgrade Spider Queen, requires 350 upgrade points and a one-level mutation increase. Do you wish to proceed immediately?"
Yes!
Zhang Chen watched as Mo Ran was enveloped in a mass of white energy threads.
She was wrapped as if in a cocoon.
A flash of intense light passed.
Mo Ran's petite form reappeared within Zhang Chen's line of sight.
Her appearance seemed unchanged.
However, her mutation level had been elevated to Mutation IX, all her stats had significantly increased, and she would gain new skills upon metamorphosis.
The newly upgraded Mo Ran was naked.
Her small body was as pure as jade, like an exquisite piece of art.
A moment later, Mo Ran slowly awoke.
She blinked her eyes, looked at Zhang Chen, then at herself.
She quickly moved her left and right hands.
Soon, a mass of glittering spider silk danced lightly in her hands.
In no time, the silk threads wrapped around Mo Ran's body, transforming into a form-fitting dance costume similar to what a dancer would wear. However, her shoulders and arms were bare, with clothing only from the chest down, extending to her tiny feet.
She looked down at the shimmering silver, her small brow furrowing slightly. With nimble fingers, she began to manipulate the silk again.

"Dad... Dad?"
Mo Ran blinked her large, dark eyes, curiously examining Zhang Chen.
"Gulp..."
Mo Ran's stomach suddenly growled.
This startled her, almost causing her to fall from Zhang Chen's hand.
Just as Zhang Chen was about to reach out with his other hand to catch her, he saw Mo Ran dangling upside down from his arm.
A thin blue energy thread connected from his arm to Mo Ran's body.
"Huh?"
Mo Ran gently tugged on the spider silk, and with a light movement, she landed back on Zhang Chen's hand, curiously patting her stomach.
"You're hungry, I'll get you something to eat!"
Zhang Chen smiled and took out a portion of cooked [Poisonous
