The way Boss Huang described the incident was strange.
It seemed like he could not remember people's names at all. In order to make it simple and clear, he would use code names like A, B, C, and so on.
Was it really like that? Not really.
At least during the incident, Boss Huang remembered the names of the 'supporting characters' that revolved around the incident clearly.
Therefore, even after Boss Huang explained for a long time, Han Xing was still confused.
The young beast king A, the rising mercenary B, the young tech genius C … Who were they? It felt familiar yet strange at the same time.
The things that happened to them were spectacular and he felt like they were more interesting than staying in the Starfire Unit, but why would Boss Huang tell him all this?
Although Han Xing wanted to know about Fatty, Four, and Ro Li, the one he wanted to know the most was Ro Xin.
Staying in the Starfire Unit was like a closed world. Everything he knew was vague and not timely.
God knew who Boss Huang was talking about, so what was the point of him telling him all this?
To motivate him?
Han Xing rubbed his messy buzz cut and fell into silence. After a while, he asked in a heavy tone, "Who are they? What does it have to do with me? "
"Of course it does." Boss Huang's voice turned sharper as he looked at Han Xing and said in a profound tone, "At least, they know Tang Ling."
Know Tang Ling? What kind of reason is that?! There were a lot of people in this world who knew Tang Ling.
Han Xing looked at Boss Huang strangely. Maybe the boss was too shocked and hurt that he was a little out of his mind?
Although the pain of Tang Ling's death was still lingering in Han Xing's heart.
Boss Huang turned a blind eye to Han Xing's gaze. He took a sip of his wine and said casually, "And … they will follow Tang Ling without a second thought."
Han Xing was slightly shocked when he heard what Boss Huang said.
However, before he could think further, he felt a weight on his shoulder. It was Boss Huang's hand on his shoulder as he looked at Han Xing seriously. "Tell me, if Tang Ling was still here, would you be willing to follow him?"
Han Xing was a little stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why does it have to be someone's follower? I … "
"What if you have a reason to follow him no matter what?" Boss Huang squinted his eyes and the glare from his gaze was a little sharp.
"Master, I want to know the reason." Whenever Boss Huang showed such an expression, it meant that he was extremely serious. Han Xing could not help but change the way he addressed Boss Huang. He only addressed Boss Huang as' master 'when they were discussing serious matters.
"Reason?" Boss Huang smiled. Han Xing instinctively sensed danger, and as expected, his head was smacked hard in the next moment.
"More than two years? Can't your wooden brain comprehend anything? "
"In this era, is it really an era where one can survive by fighting alone?"
Han Xing covered his head, feeling wronged. Boss Huang's thoughts were a little too jumpy! Other than Tang Ling, who else could keep up with his thoughts?
Fortunately, Boss Huang was not interested in beating them up anymore. He gulped down another mouthful of wine and said, "Every generation in every era has its own mission. If it's something like completing a mission, of course we'll need to gather a group of people. "
Han Xing rubbed his throbbing head and said, "That's the logic. If I really have such a mission and I have to choose who to follow, of course, I'd choose Tang Ling."
"That's right." Boss Huang stomped his walking stick on the floor and straightened his body. "You're a good kid. Compared to the guys I mentioned, you're not any weaker. You might even have more potential."
"What do you mean?" Han Xing was still confused.
"Someone as excellent as you is willing to follow Tang Ling, and so are the guys I mentioned." Boss Huang was being serious.
So, he was being serious just to prove his point? Why does it sound a little childish?
Han Xing found it funny, but he also felt a little sad. Although he did not want to say it out loud, he had to remind Boss Huang, "Master, Tang Ling is … isn't here anymore. We don't have to talk about this anymore, do we?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Boss Huang glanced askance at Han Xing. "First of all, I have reservations about whether Tang Ling is dead or not. As long as there's no solid evidence to prove his death, I won't change my mind."
Han Xing remained silent.
Boss Huang sighed. "Of course, this more or less includes my personal feelings. It's been a long time. Even if Tang Ling is still alive, can he … "Boss Huang then lit a cigarette." Can he keep up with the times? If he can't keep up, he won't be the best choice. "
"What do you want to choose?" Han Xing was filled with doubts.
"It's not me. There are a few people who are making choices." Boss Huang stood up and paced back and forth with his walking stick. "Don't you understand why I'm telling you all this?
It's because without Tang Ling, you have to step up and replace him to be followed.
I don't care if I'm selfish or foolish, I don't want to lose hope. "As he spoke, Boss Huang raised his walking stick and pointed it at Han Xing.
Han Xing was stunned. He remembered the figure that was carved in his heart, the figure of Tang Ling. Could he replace Tang Ling and become the Follower?
Han Xing was not confident.
Boss Huang continued, "But you disappoint me. You don't have Tang Ling's strength or intelligence …"
Han Xing lowered his head. Boss Huang's words stung him, but he knew it was the truth and he knew the gap between them.
Fortunately, you and Tang Ling have something in common, which is the heart of a newborn and the will to persevere. " Boss Huang sat beside Han Xing. "That's why my choice is still you. I'll try my best to make you my choice. Don't give up."
"Mm-hmm." After hesitating for a long time, Han Xing suddenly let out a firm hum. It was not for anything else, but for the flame in his heart that he could not tell what it was, but it had never been extinguished.
The flame must be the heart that wanted to fight for something for the times and for mankind. He wanted to change something.
"Very well." Boss Huang nodded and said to Han Xing, "The times have been forcefully pushed forward once more. You know, it's the era where everyone enters the dream. Every month, there will be a dream that no one can escape from. "
This was the biggest change in the past two years.
Ordinary people would not be able to escape from the dream, nor would they be able to escape from the training in the dream. This training had already begun to become rich and varied. The unavoidable killing was only the foundation of the training. There were also more practical knowledge and practical techniques that began to be laid out.
Some of them had to deal with complicated machines in their dreams other than killing each other. Some of them were forced to learn the basic theory of super-technological patterns in their dreams. Some of them had to drive all kinds of surreal transportation tools, including but not limited to cars, airplanes, and ships from the old civilization.
There were too many things to list out one by one. It felt like the Dream Domain started to speed up and force everyone to use it.
No matter how weak they were, they would still need to be powerful.
It might seem like a good thing, but as a matter of fact, any kind of excessive enthusiasm would mean sacrifice. Similar to the day the Purple Moon rose, it was like some kind of cleansing.
It was the same now!
Every month, a group of people would die. Nothing in the Dream Domain was a joke. The wounded and the dead would still be reflected in reality.
Faced with this reality, the rulers of various safety cities, sectors, and even villages seemed to have the spirit of dedication.
They opened up their resources at all costs and even opened up the settlement. Other than ensuring everyone's survival in the real world, they also wanted to encourage reproduction.
The seclusion of the Starfire Brigade was relative. Here, you might not know about the so-called new influential figures, the latest news, or the news of your friends and family, but the general trend of the world was something you had to learn and be aware of.
Han Xing knew that at the price of death every month, humanity's progress was astonishing.
Now, even the weakest normal person could fight a mutated beast above level 5. With this foundation, more and more people started to learn knowledge and techniques. As a matter of fact, the world was nurturing some kind of hope.
The gap between a normal person and a rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior started to shrink. According to the analysis of the scientists, although the Purple Moon Warriors could not break the genetic lock, they started to enter a strange state. They were able to unleash their genetic potential to the maximum even though they could not break the genetic lock.
As a matter of fact, the Purple Moon Warriors did not unleash their genetic potential to the maximum.
Firstly, it was because of the price-performance ratio! Resources were limited. Instead of using the limited resources to unleash their current genetic potential to the maximum, they might as well use them to break the genetic lock.
After all, after breaking the gene lock, there would be new growth potential, and it would always be stronger than the previous stage.
Secondly, it was because of time.
The lifespan of a human was limited. Without evolving, one's lifespan would not increase. Therefore, it was impossible to spend that much time to unleash their genetic potential to the maximum.
However, it also meant that those without genetic talent could do it. The Dream Domain was opened to the public for this reason.
Some scientists predicted that when a normal person unleashed their genetic potential to the maximum, they would become a superhuman, or at least a superhuman in the eyes of the old civilization.
They would possess the basic battle prowess of a rank 2 Purple Moon Warrior. The lucky ones might even be able to unleash their talent potential. Talent potential was not something that could be unleashed by breaking the genetic lock. It was hidden in the human's initial genes.
However, the more genetic locks one unlocked, the higher the chance of the hidden talent being unleashed.
The better news was that the quality of the new generation that was born in the past two years was much stronger than two years ago.
The newly developed technology could easily measure the Genetic Chain Talent of infants after six months, and the results of the measurement were naturally amazing. The number of children with Genetic Chain Talent had reached 61%. Although most of them were only one-star talents, what did it matter?
Someone suggested that those with one-star talent could unleash all their genetic potential before advancing. That way, their strength would be comparable to a real rank 2 Purple Moon Warrior.
It was definitely a good thing. It was also a formless pressure that lowered the status of the Purple Moon Warriors below rank 3.
It was not just a speculation. Ever since normal people could enter the Dream Domain, similar things had started to happen. Perhaps the Purple Moon Warriors had to start breaking through in other ways, or else they would have to accept the reality.
Han Xing was immersed in his thoughts. The world had changed a lot in the past two years, but he did not understand the changes. The root of the change was that humans had become so powerful and there was even a pair of invisible hands pushing them forward. What was going on? Was it to resist the Underground race?
The Underground race was indeed worrisome, but it was not enough. Was there something else that worried him?
"What are you thinking about?" Maybe because Han Xing had been quiet for a long time, Boss Huang could not help but ask.
"I'm thinking. What's the purpose of the accelerated changes in this world? According to the theory of evolution, the environment is one of the driving forces for evolution, but the current environment … "Han Xing frowned and did not continue.
"It doesn't match the evolution of humans, is it? It seems like you aren't that dumb after all. You can think about some profound questions now. "Boss Huang's words hit the nail on the head.
"Master, do you know the reason?" Han Xing was curious.
"Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you now." Boss Huang rejected Han Xing and sighed. "What I'm trying to tell you is that because of the Dream Domain, the Dream Seeds are entering the Dream Domain at a faster pace.
Because of that, the Dream Domain has released a lot of resources. "Boss Huang chuckled. Han Xing was confused.
Han Xing was baffled. Didn't everyone know about this? What's so funny about it?
"Resources are everything. With them, those who were buried and unknown might even become the shining stars." Boss Huang returned to his lazy manner. He crossed his legs and looked up at the sky.
Han Xing waited patiently.
"A new batch of newcomers will be joining the Starfire Brigade. They are very different. "After a few seconds of silence, Boss Huang tossed out a piece of shocking news.
Han Xing straightened his back. He had a feeling that it was something amazing.
"Hmm, the new batch of newcomers is different. They aren't supposed to be here, but …" Boss Huang squinted his eyes again. "In a year at most, something special will happen in this world. It's very important and it will decide the fate of the new generation. Compared to the boring War God Path Tournament, I think this special event is more interesting. "
"What is it?" Han Xing's curiosity was piqued. Besides, he did not know how the newcomers were related to this special event.
"It's a secret. I can't reveal it to a little soldier like you." Boss Huang stretched his body and stood up. He then tossed a bag in front of Han Xing and said, "What do you think I'm here for?"
"To see me make a fool of myself," Han Xing answered without a second thought.
Boss Huang smacked his head. "Wrong answer. I'm here to remind you that there's still a year left. You better be cruel to yourself and always remember that you are the one who will replace Tang Ling.
"Before that special thing happens, you have to show your true colors."
As Boss Huang spoke, he sized Han Xing up and down.
Han Xing could not help but feel hot on his forehead. His back was covered in sweat because he knew Boss Huang was more serious than ever.
When Boss Huang was serious, he was scary.
"My forte isn't the sword. I've learned a lot, so I can teach you. But now, you need to improve, so I robbed a lot of swordsmen and found these for you. "As Boss Huang spoke, he kicked the bag in front of him.
He was signaling Han Xing to open it.
Han Xing opened it in confusion. He had a feeling that Boss Huang was a master swordsman, but he had yet to fully understand what Boss Huang taught him.
He started to feel like it was not enough!
With that in mind, Han Xing opened the bag. There were seven to eight books and a dozen memory disks inside.
Looking at these, Han Xing picked up a book casually. Just by looking at the cover, he was already shocked and excited. When he flipped the book open, he was even more excited.
It was a book written by a rank 5 Purple Moon Warrior who was also a swordsman genius. He could be considered a master swordsman.
The book was very famous, but only the master's disciple could get his hands on it and he had to swear not to share it with anyone else.
However, Boss Huang found this book for him and it was not the normal version but the one with the master's annotations.
It was very precious. Where did it come from?
Han Xing held back his excitement and picked up another book. This one was even rarer than the previous one. It was written by the strongest swordsman of the Purple Moon era, Liu Bai. It was a detailed explanation of one of his sword intents.
Han Xing had always been obsessed with swords, so he wanted to read it in detail.
However, Boss Huang impatiently grabbed the bag and shoved it into Han Xing's hand. "You can have a look at it later. You should know that these memory discs are also related to the way of the sword. There are even some sword wielders who demonstrated it themselves. Although I'm skilled, it took me quite some effort to get my hands on these."
Demonstrations by swordsmen?! Han Xing gripped the bag in his hand tightly. Boss Huang did not have to tell him to know how precious the bag was.
"One year. Since you are a swordsman genius, I want you to master 80% of these in one year. Your foundation should be good enough."
Han Xing dared not imagine it at first. Master all these in one year? However, he could not let the precious resources that Boss Huang had given him down.
Just like what Boss Huang said, he would give it his all!
Han Xing nodded solemnly. Unexpectedly, Boss Huang took out another memory disk from his pocket and passed it to Han Xing.
"This is the most important thing I've learned in my life, and I shouldn't have taught it to you. I shouldn't have given it to you because the requirements to learn it are too harsh. In this world … "Boss Huang sounded sad and sorrowful.
"Strictly speaking, there are only two people who meet the requirements to learn it.
I managed to learn half of it by pure coincidence. See how much you can learn. If you can't learn anything, don't be sad. After all … "Boss Huang did not continue.
Han Xing took the memory disk with a puzzled look. There was only one word written on it: Eye.
What does that mean? Although Han Xing did not think he was comparable to Tang Ling, he was confident in his own talent. Why could he not learn it?
However, Boss Huang seemed to be tired. He waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. The new soldiers will probably arrive in three days. The situation will change. Try to avenge the humiliation you suffered. "
"Are you leaving just like that?" Han Xing was a little reluctant.
"What else can I do? I'm sick of looking at you. I can't even find Tang Long … "Boss Huang muttered something strange as he walked forward. He walked faster and soon, he vanished into the night.
Han Xing stood on the spot without moving. His heart was filled with sadness.
Of course, he understood what Boss Huang meant. Without Tang Ling, Tang Long would be the more suitable candidate. Should he be the third or fourth candidate?
In short, Han Xing knew that Boss Huang treated him well. He did not think that he was stupid, but he had not reached his ideal.
He did not know why Boss Huang was pressuring him. Instinctively, he did not want to disappoint the boss.
With that in mind, Han Xing clenched his fists.
**
He could finally see.
Tang Ling's eyes were red. Due to the overuse of his eyes, even though he only opened his eyes slightly, he was tearing up.
The Spirit Eye did not only refer to the eyes. It referred to all the human True Eye, including the degenerated Eye of the Heart and the mystical Spirit Eye, which was also known as the Spirit Eye.
Tang Ling's current learning level was still limited to the direct observation of the eyes. Moreover, he had made up for the mistakes he made when he studied under Boss Huang and polished the first stage to perfection.
It consumed a lot of his spirit, and in the sealed space fragment, Tang Ling dared not simply use the limited amount of spirit potions.
The only thing he could do was to continuously train his eyes when his mental power had recovered.
Boss Huang had taught him to use his spirit and his eyes to see everything, so he could get a more precise answer.
The way to refine his eyes was even more complicated. Not only did he have to use his spirit to see, but he also had to weave his spirit in a special way to form a brain pons, which allowed his eyes to see the truth in his brain.
It sounded abstract, but it was not.
What a human's eyes saw might not necessarily be accurate, just like how humans, animals, and insects saw the world differently.
To get the truth, one had to use one's spirit to explore the world, and the most important thing was that the brain would analyze the truth.
The brain pons connected the eyes to the brain, so it would eliminate the error of the eyes. It was just the first step.
He had to carefully refine his brain with his spirit every day, which was another complicated cultivation method. A single misstep would turn him into an idiot or a madman.
On top of that, the cultivator must have the talent of the eyes!
Even a cultivation maniac like Tang Ling had to be extra careful when he trained his eyes.
It had been three days.
With almost no sleep, Tang Ling finally achieved an in-progress result — he saw it with his own eyes.
He did not see other energy structures because it was too easy for him. Instead, he saw time and space!
It was a rough look!
It meant that … Tang Ling slowly closed his teary eyes and laid down on the ground. It was then that the house where Higan was breaking through the genetic lock in seclusion suddenly shook.
