Deactivating the Lord's Avatar, Han Xiao's consciousness returned to his main body, and the scene before him changed back to the Divine Mechanical Throne room in the Black Star Palace in the Flickering World.
He took off the Evolution Cube from his neck and held it in front of him for a closer look. The small silver cube reflected a faint light.
"It's been more than twenty years since I got you from Sisko …"
Han Xiao stroked the Evolution Cube, and a sense of familiarity rose from the bottom of his heart.
According to the incomplete information of the Evolutionary Civilization in EsGod's inheritance, Han Xiao had already resonated with the Evolution Cube and formed a Soul Connection.
If he handed it over to the dynasty, he did not know if the dynasty would ask him to cut off the connection and replace it with a direct Beyond Grade A like the Dark Emperor.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao temporarily suppressed this matter in his heart and slowly considered it. He put on the Evolution Cube again, stood up, and left the room, heading toward the inner ring base outside the palace to find Fu Ding.
Looking at Philip's surveillance screen, he saw that Fu Ding was chatting with Aurora, Hardaway, and the others in the Old Officers Activity Center. Han Xiao took a floating vehicle into the base and came to the exclusive activity room of the Black Star Guards.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Hardaway's triumphant voice.
"… I can feel it. A few days ago, my Esper Ability strength improved again, and there are subtle changes in my genes. I feel that the door to Beyond Grade A has opened for me."
Aurora looked at Fu Ding. "How many times has he said this?"
"The 233rd time." Fu Ding chuckled.
"That's right. He says he's going to reach Beyond Grade A every day, but it's been more than ten years, and there's been no movement at all." Aurora could not help but complain.
"You guys don't believe me. Every time I spar with the Army Commander's Apostle Weapons, I've improved, just a little." Hardaway snorted.
"Spar? You're talking about getting beaten up, right? "Fu Ding shrugged.
"What's wrong with getting beaten up? That's my Esper Ability." Hardaway was indignant. "At least I lasted longer than you. No matter what, I'm Black Star 'trump card."
Hardaway's Esper Ability was to increase his body's defense and toughness. Getting beaten up was how he transformed his species. Using external force to modify his cells and genes was like using the hands of others to forge himself.
Because he was already a peak Calamity Grade Super, only now, the attacks of a Beyond Grade A Super could stimulate his transformation.
After the Apostle Weapons led by Psionic Prime appeared, Han Xiao handed over the task of beating up Hadavy to the Apostle Weapons. As he continued to grow stronger, the strength of the Apostle Weapons also increased. Since they were able to fight against Beyond Grade As, they were naturally able to beat up Calamity Grades. Hadavy would occasionally look for the Apostle Weapons to spar with.
Due to his outstanding defense, he was able to last a long time in the hands of the Apostle Weapons, surpassing the other Black Star Guards. After being beaten up for more than twenty years, Hardaway's improvement had increased significantly. As a Beyond Grade A seed, he had always prided himself as the number one general of the army.
This time, everyone heard footsteps and turned to look at Han Xiao. They all stood up to greet him.
"Sit down. I'm just here to take a look." Han Xiao waved his hand and walked to Fu Ding's side, grabbing his shoulder.
"Again?" Fu Ding was helpless. He raised his hand to punch Han Xiao's chest but did not struggle.
After so many years, he was already used to it. The friendship between men was very simple. The more they touched, the better their relationship would become.
Now, as Black Star's reputation grew, more and more officers felt restrained in front of Han Xiao. In the army, only a few of his old friends, including Fu Ding, could be so casual in front of Han Xiao.
As Han Xiao rubbed his luck in satisfaction, he turned to look at Aurora, sized her up, and asked, "How's your life energy accumulation going?"
Aurora smiled. "It's already very large. I can feel that in another half a year, I will be able to cross the threshold of the Calamity Grade."
Hearing this, Han Xiao nodded.
Aurora's life force Esper Ability allowed her life force to increase every second, causing her body to constantly transform, improving her physique, genes, and youth.
At Grade B, the way to upgrade one's life force Esper Ability was different. It was very difficult for Aurora to deliberately train. She had to wait for her life force to automatically accumulate until it exceeded the standard of the next level before she could successfully advance.
This method had its pros and cons. The downside was that the progress was slow. Every day, a certain amount of life force would be generated according to one's level. Using her Esper Ability to consume life force would cause the progress of her advancement to drop. Previously, Aurora had made many life force potions, but they had yet to reach the Calamity Grade.
However, the benefit was long-term. As long as her life force reached the standard, she would be able to advance naturally. This meant that advancing to Beyond Grade A was only a matter of time for her, but it might take hundreds or thousands of years.
Speaking of which, Hella stole the life force of others to strengthen herself and speed up her advancement, while Aurora shared her life force with others, slowing down her own growth. Their Esper Abilities and advancement methods were completely different.
"By the way, Uncle, when will my sister return?" Aurora could not help but ask.
"I don't know." Han Xiao shook his head. "I sent them a message a few days ago, but they didn't reply or pick up my call. Maybe they went to some secondary dimension to adventure and couldn't receive the quantum network signal."
"Oh, I haven't seen her in so many years. I miss my sister." Aurora puffed up her cheeks, feeling a little depressed.
"I miss her a little too." Han Xiao nodded.
"I want to as well," Hadavy agreed.
The two of them immediately turned to stare at him with a 'what does this have to do with you' expression.
Hardaway crossed his arms in front of his chest and coldly snorted. "She's been gone for twenty years, yet she still has the honorary title of captain of the Black Star Guards. Fu Ding is only a temporary captain, and I'm still the vice-captain. I can't even find anyone to challenge her position."
"So that's how it is." Aurora heaved a sigh of relief and patted her trembling chest. "I thought you had some thoughts about my sister."
"Your sister is so cold. How could she be interested in me?" Under Han Xiao's gaze, Hardaway coughed dryly and softly muttered, "Besides, I wouldn't dare …"
When he first joined Black Star, Hardaway did not have much experience. Thus, although he was a Beyond Grade A seed, he was willing to temporarily submit to Hella and only be a vice-captain.
Now that so many years had passed, Hardaway had also gone from a rookie to a veteran. His strength had improved, and he had more confidence. Furthermore, Hella had been gone for twenty years. He felt that he had enough experience and did not want to submit to other Calamity Grades. He wanted a higher position and became the captain of the Black Star Guards.
This would be beneficial to his reputation in the universe. The title of captain of the Black Star Corps Black Star Guards was like the Chief Vanguard Official of the Bloodshed Land. While Hardaway was pursuing strength, he would occasionally consider this issue.
"Alright, when Hella returns, as long as you can defeat her, you will be the captain of the Black Star Guards." Han Xiao smiled.
"Alright, it's settled then." Hardaway was energized.
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao left the room and walked along the corridor. As soon as he exited, he opened the interface and chose to complete Yin Ying's Beyond Grade A Challenge Mission.
[Yin Ying] has been completed!
You have completed all the mission requirements. You have received 245 billion EXP.
You have received [Character Summon Card – Yin Ying].
Character Summon Card – Yin Ying: [Comet Glide] – For a short period of time, + 15% DEX, + 45% Movement Speed, + 300% Acceleration Efficiency, and the upper limit of speed is removed. You can accelerate endlessly for 12 seconds. Number of uses: 0/4
You have received a reward: Draw one of Yin Ying's abilities (Ability/Talent).
Tip: Yin Ying is a Pugilist. Some of the abilities have been adjusted according to your class.
Randomizing … Randomizing complete!
Please select one from the following five options as the reward:
1. [Charge — Endless Potential] – Ability: Your next melee attack will deal additional damage based on the distance of the charge. The longer the distance, the higher the damage. There is no upper limit. At the same time, you will suffer a recoil and take 70% of the damage from the attack. Cost: 200 Energy, 3,000 Stamina. Cooldown: 240s. To shatter others or to shatter yourself, that is the question.
2. [Dark Energy Absorption] – Ability: You can absorb the dark energy in space, recovering 15% – 25% Energy each time. Cost: 800 Stamina. Cooldown: 24s.
3. [Nuclear Force — Structure Reinforcement] – Talent: The cells that make up your body form a more stable structure. You gain 12% Physical Damage Resistance. You are immune to True Damage, Armor Piercing, Shock, and other special attacks. (Non-immune, converted to normal damage)
4. [Self Refresh] – Ability: Remove all negative statuses (except [Silence] and [Aura Lock]). Cost: 300 Energy. Cooldown: 420s.
5. [Repeated Critical Strike] – Ability: Passive. When you accelerate, your melee Critical Strike Rate and Critical Damage Multiplier will increase rapidly. Maximum Critical Strike Rate is 80% and 375% Critical Damage. When you maintain your speed, this effect is constant. When your speed decreases and you do not recover your peak speed within 2.5s, this effect will decline irreversibly after 8s and return to zero after 4s. After returning to zero, the cooldown will be 120s. Life is about movement. Run, don't stop!
"The quality of this draw is quite high." Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
He had a Molding Talent, and the other skills were also very good. Apart from his luck, the main reason was that Yin Ying's abilities were not low on average.
After taking a closer look, Han Xiao first eliminated [Dark Energy Absorption]. Pugilists relied on energy to survive, and this was a very important way to replenish energy. However, he had a more efficient way to recover energy, so he did not need this.
Normally, when there was a Molding Talent, Han Xiao would usually draw the Molding Talent. However, the core effect of [Nuclear Force — Structure Reinforcement] was immunity to True Damage, which was the same as the ability given by the Germinal Organization leader.
The other 12% Physical Damage Resistance and immunity to Shock, Armor Piercing, and other attacks were useful, but it was not as cost-effective.
In terms of tankiness, he was already very strong, mainly relying on his terrifying recovery ability to dominate. This bit of increase in defense was very weak, and the [Legendary Fixed Damage Reduction] that he had obtained from trampling on Ty-Ty the last time was already enough for him.
This time, the inner desire to export finally turned over. The serfs sang and immediately lifted the pole to revolt.
After thinking for a while, he made his choice.
You have learned the skill [Charge — Endless Potential]!
This is more suitable for me, Han Xiao thought to himself.
Although [Repeated Critical Strike] was good, it was limited to the physical body's melee critical strike rate, and it had to be triggered in a mobile battle. It was very suitable for Yin Ying's combat style. With its agile speed, it could sweep through like a flying sword. However, it was not so suitable for him.
In comparison, [Charge — Endless Potential] was very powerful. According to the distance of the sprint, it would provide an unlimited amount of extra damage, but the user would also have to take seventy percent of the damage. It was very powerful, but so were the side effects.
As the saying went, 'Heaven goes to the left, and Iron Head goes to the right.' Even if he died in battle, he would fall on the path of Charge. This was an attack that would cause both sides to suffer.
Coincidentally, in terms of longevity, Han Technician was fully deserving of the title of an expert. He was ahead of the industry by at least eighty years, if not a hundred years!
He had the ability to recover his energy by taking hits, so he was not only tough, but he was also not afraid of being hit back.
Furthermore, I'm a tall, rich, and handsome Mechanic. I don't even need to do it personally. I can just use my Lord's Avatar to crash into it. This way, there is no risk at all. It's more suitable for this ability than Yin Ying himself!
As long as the distance was enough, it was possible to deal a few million damage with one hit. It could be used as a method to end the battle.
This ability is reliable. I finally have a more powerful attack skill. Yin Ying is really generous, giving me such a good greeting gift.
Han Xiaoxin was very happy.
This little brother is really interesting. I have to take care of him in the future.
