Seeing the five abilities that Gorután had extracted, Han Xiao was slightly stunned.
"Polar Dao-Style?"
There were countless martial arts schools in the universe, and most of the martial arts skills of the Polar Dao-Style were explosive abilities, which reflected the terrible public security environment of that era. Of course, it was also possible that the founder of the Polar Dao-Style had a special liking for fighting style that dealt damage to the enemy at the cost of eight hundred.
High-level Pugilists were all grandmasters, so it was not surprising that they knew the techniques of the Polar Dao-Style School.
The ability of the Tyrant's Character Summon Card was [Polar Dao-Style Cell Overdrive], and the ability that he had extracted from Gorután was Blood Rage. The effects of the two were quite similar, but the former used one's potential in exchange for combat power, while the latter burned one's current health.
Compared to ordinary people, although the explosive power of Cell Overdrive damaged one's potential, it did not have any immediate negative effects. It only added to one's current combat power.
However, Blood Rage required continuous burning of one's health. If one's recovery rate could not keep up, they would be heavily injured if they used it for too long. It was not suitable for a prolonged battle, as the enemy might notice its flaws and deliberately delay it.
Han Xiao guessed that this was the reason why Gorután did not use this move on him. After all, new Mechanics like him were famous for their endurance.
"However, this ability is just right for me."
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
His recovery rate was like a perpetual motion machine, and even Beast Ancestor could not compare to it. Burning one's health was a piece of cake for him, and if used properly, it could become a stable explosive ability in his hands.
In comparison, although [Microscopic Molt] and [Block Penetration] were not bad, they were not as valuable as Blood Rage.
"Without the one-time Character Summon Card of Cell Overdrive, I've exchanged it for a long-term stable explosive ability. Tsk tsk, this feels good …" Han Xiao smacked his lips, overjoyed.
Even if the explosive effect of Blood Rage was lower than Cell Overdrive, he could accept it. It was a huge gain.
At this moment, Han Xiao only wanted to raise his hands and praise Fu Ding.
Oh, and Nero.
You have received [Polar Dao-Style Blood Rage]!
The new abilities extracted from the five Beyond Grade As immediately affected Han Xiao's body, changing every cell in his body.
Hu!
An intense pain swept through his entire body, and it took a while before it gradually subsided.
Han Xiao had already adapted to the pain of rapid evolution. He exhaled and felt the changes in his body.
Hmm, my energy is obviously much more plentiful. This is the effect of Womre's [Cell Activity Expansion]. My physique is much stronger, as if I have taken off an invisible weight. This should be the effect of Tolaen's [Super Load]. My Willpower is slightly stronger, which comes from Hades' [Mental Barrier Strengthening]. The Mechanical Force in my body is more sensitive, and my control is more detailed. This is the effect of Jackornitz's [Machinery Control Master] … Han Xiao went through the changes in his body and felt refreshed.
A new notification popped up on the interface. [The Rescue of Hella] had created a new dungeon. Han Xiao did not need to look to know that the challenge level of this dungeon was probably even higher than the battle on Planet Lighthouse. To the players, it could only be seen from afar and not played.
After reading the notification, Han Xiao looked at the mission list. At this time, the mission [The Rescue of Hella] had disappeared, which meant that the reward had been calculated.
Han Xiao curiously tested the effect of [Polar Dao-Style Blood Rage]. This ability allowed him to customize the amount of health he burned. The upper limit was not shown, but it could not be less than 0.1% of his maximum health per second. He activated the skill according to the minimum limit.
Boom!
A blood-red halo suddenly bloomed in front of Han Xiao's chest, where his heart was, and spread out like ripples.
The next moment, he felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling!
Bright red blood steam spurted out from his body, and the reaction was very intense. It looked like burning blood flames wrapped around his body. At a glance, those who did not know might mistake this for red Pugilist flames.
This blood-red steam was the blood energy obtained by burning his life force. In Han Xiao's perception, waves of new energy were constantly being generated in his body along with the eruption of the blood energy.
He summoned a mirror and took a look at himself. He saw that his current appearance was poles apart from his usual calm and masculine temperament. Under the contrast of the blood-colored steam, his entire person was filled with a fierce aura, appearing evil and violent. However, his own emotions were not affected.
Looking at the feedback on the interface, Han Xiao thought to himself.
"The explosive bonus of Blood Rage is mainly based on attack power and ability strength. It's more of an attack type and is somewhat different from the overall bonus of Cell Overdrive."
After deactivating Blood Rage, a sense of weakness suddenly appeared, but it disappeared after a while.
In order to understand his combat strength again, Han Xiao tested his new abilities from different angles. After that, he stopped and nodded in satisfaction.
"A lot of EXP, four Random Rewards, one blank Character Summon Card, four powerful Character Summon Cards, and five good abilities. I'm rich."
Han Xiaoxin was in a good mood.
The difficulty of the mission was extremely high, but the rewards were also quite bountiful. His combat strength had increased by quite a bit, and he even had a few new trump cards.
Suppressing his excitement, Han Xiao stopped smiling and thought about the practical impact of this matter.
The change in the views of the major organizations toward him was nothing more than more attention and fear. During the time he rushed back, more organizations had expressed their goodwill, and some of the organizations that were secretly stirring up trouble had stopped their little tricks. The Limitless Financial Group was showing such signs.
Overall, the effect of establishing dominance was very good. The Black Star Corps' position in the universe had been consolidated, dominating the headlines, and their prestige was unparalleled. Han Xiao's goal had been achieved.
Including the players, more and more people submitted applications to join the Black Star Corps. The officers in charge of this area had been working overtime day and night to deal with the recruitment matters. It was foreseeable that the size of the army would welcome a peak of growth in the coming days.
"Radiance and Ethereal are probably thinking about exchanging captives. Soon, they will be able to exchange for a large amount of resources." Han Xiao nodded.
Of course, he did not plan to keep those four Beyond Grade A allies of the Universal Civilizations. Keeping them in his hands could not be used or eaten, and they were just a few hot potatoes. Exchanging them for benefits was the best way. However, this time, he would not hand them over so easily. No matter what, he had to make things difficult for Radiance and Ethereal and make them apologize publicly. Otherwise, they would not be able to take them away.
"Speaking of which, Kasuyi's suggestion is not impossible to consider. Sell Radiance's people to Ethereal and let them fight each other …" Han Xiao scratched his chin and rolled his eyes.
Gorután would not receive such treatment, so Han Xiao planned to keep him.
He had also paid attention to the Beast Ancestor's forces. After the fall of the boss, the forces had indeed become chaotic. They had split into several factions and were planning to split up. There was a lot of internal strife, and many outside forces were eyeing the "inheritance" left behind by the Beast Ancestor. They were ready to divide this fat piece of meat at any time.
"Should I get involved in this as well? After all, I was the one who defeated Beast Ancestor. There's no reason for me to kill a pig and let others eat its meat. "
Han Xiao pondered.
The possible reactions of the various organizations appeared in his mind one after another and were quickly analyzed by his big-picture thinking. This time, an idea flashed through his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it was.
Han Xiao's eyes slowly lit up, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"If the Red Empire's reaction is really as I think, then after some time, I think I can go find Sorokin and extort him …"
Han Xiao had previously announced to the outside world that he was going into seclusion to recuperate. On one hand, it was to make the statement that he had 'burned his potential' more believable, and on the other hand, it was to leave some free time to do some things.
There were a few things he needed to do. The first was to deal with the aftermath of this matter, such as dealing with the captives, dealing with the Empire, dividing up Beast Ancestor's legacy, and so on.
The second was to use the recuperation time to repair the Mech Legion that had been damaged in this battle, which was not a small project. He also had to create the Emperor's Cape and optimize the carrier of the Mysterious Energy Host.
The third was to respond to Manison and Kasuyi's kindness and start building a communication platform for the Beyond Grade A united front with the help of the Black Star Corps' huge organization in the Flickering World.
The last thing was to take Ames to the secondary dimension and capture the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy's old friend, the Holy Light Particle.
"Looks like there are a lot of things to do." Han Xiao thought to himself. "However, after this battle, I won't have to worry about the development of the Black Star Corps for a long time, so I'll have a lot of time to do my own things."
After making some plans in his mind, Han Xiao put away his thoughts and walked out of the room.
After returning to touch Ding, he went straight to the training ground to settle the rewards. He did not have the time to properly greet the many officers, so he went straight to the office and told Philip to gather the core officers.
…
Han Xiao walked into the office. Everyone was already waiting there, and Ames followed.
Logically speaking, this was an internal matter of the army, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. However, Ames's relationship was not ordinary, so no one was stupid enough to stop her from watching.
"You're finally willing to come back? You really know how to order people around. "Ames leaned against the wall, tilted her head, and looked at Han Xiao with a faint smile.
"Cough cough, I have something to do." Han Xiao was helpless.
He invited Ames to the Black Star Palace just to be safe. He did not expect that it would really come in handy and help them defeat Traveler.
"Don't forget what you promised me." Ames raised her eyebrows slightly.
"After I'm done with the things at hand, I'll go on a trip with you." Han Xiao nodded.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you guys anymore."
Ames looked at Hella one last time, turned around, and left the room. Although no one chased her away, she knew her place. She would not stay there and listen to the internal affairs of the Black Star Corps.
Han Xiao returned to his seat and sat down. He first looked at Hella. "After some time, you'll still be in charge of the frontline exploration. I'll build something new for you. It'll be the mecha that sent you back this time. With it, you won't have to be afraid of being surrounded again."
"Okay." Hella had no objections.
"Has the dynasty contacted you recently?"
Hella shook her head. "No."
"Then I'll remind you first. If they use me as an excuse to make you join the dynasty, come over and discuss it with me first. Don't agree rashly."
"Don't worry, I know."
Han Xiao nodded and asked curiously, "By the way, how's your connection with Aurora?"
"It's already stable." Hella paused and said, "However, I can still sense the existence of that special secondary dimension … Can you bring me on a trip to the secondary dimension this time? I want to take a look."
"I'm afraid I can't this time. After I go out, someone has to be in the army." Han Xiao shook his head and added, "I'll go with you next time."
Hearing this, Hella nodded to show that she understood. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She seemed to be in a good mood.
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao looked at the other officers and glanced at Fu Ding with admiration. After making him feel uncomfortable, Han Xiao stopped smiling and told them to report on their work.
Sylvia, Herlous, Reynold, and the others summarized their work during this period. During the reporting process, many Calamity Grade officers could not help but secretly size up Han Xiao. This wave of results also shocked many officers. Many of them admired, respected, and were even more loyal to Han Xiao.
After listening to everyone's report, Han Xiao nodded and said, "The situation is very good now. After this incident, the Black Star Corps will have a much smoother time in the Flickering World. No one will casually test us anymore. Next, expand your recruitment. After this, the army might welcome some huge business opportunities. Be prepared …"
Han Xiao reminded them of the things to pay attention to in the development of the army. Seeing everyone nod, he suddenly thought of Evans.
Evans had also returned with the spaceship that transported the Throne. Han Xiao asked Philip to arrange a place for him to stay and hide him.
Before Evans, this secret weapon, grew to a certain level, Han Xiao would not let him be exposed in front of others.
Putting away this thought, Han Xiao leaned back in his chair and said, "That's all. If there are no more questions, you can go back."
Sylvia said, "By the way, there's something you need to deal with. A great director wants to meet you."
Han Xiao was stunned.
Great director? Who is it? Manison?
Seeing Han Xiao's confused expression, Sylvia explained, "He's the famous master director Bennett Laver from the Red Empire. He wants to obtain your authorization to shoot a documentary about you."
"… That's interesting."
Han Xiao's interest was piqued.
In the galactic society where resources were not lacking, the influence of the entertainment industry was very large. A famous galactic star might be sought after by billions of people in countless civilizations. Fu Ding was once a regional star.
A great galactic director like Bennett Laver was extremely famous and influential. He enjoyed an extraordinary position in the industry and was considered a well-known figure in the entire universe.
However, the entertainment industry and an armed warlord like him were people from two different worlds. He did not know why this person wanted to shoot a documentary with him on a whim. Could it be the effect of the Universe Legendary Points?
Han Xiao thought about it and replied, "Okay, arrange a time to meet with him."
"Okay, I'll contact him personally." Sylvia nodded.
Han Xiao nodded and glanced at everyone. Seeing that no one spoke, he said, "Is there anything else? If not, the meeting is adjourned."
At this time, Hella suddenly thought of something. She took out a small box from her arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Han Xiao with two slender fingers.
Han Xiao looked down. It was a red box with a ribbon tied to it, like a gift. He could not help but look up at Hella in confusion.
"You're …"
"Today is your birthday. This is a birthday gift for you, an amulet. Remember to wear it," Hella said softly.
Han Xiao was stunned.
It's only February. My birthday is not today, it's October … Oh, I understand. This should be the original owner's birthday. When I was at Blue Star, the Germinal Organization must have investigated me. Hella probably saw the original owner's birth file.
Understanding this, Han Xiao swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue, put away the gift, and said with a smile, "Thank you. I didn't expect you to remember."
"I remember everything about you."
Hella lowered her eyes. After saying this, she did not wait for Han Xiao's reply and left the room.
The officers around looked back and forth between the two of them. They all had meaningful looks in their eyes and left one after another.
Only Han Xiao was left in the room. He played with the gift box for a while before gently opening it to reveal the item inside.
A small dark gold coin lay quietly in the box. A thin silver chain passed through the coin and made into a necklace.
Han Xiao picked up the coin and suddenly felt a special energy on it. It had the aura of both Hella's Power of the Dead and Aurora's Esper Ability.
Han Xiao had a flash of inspiration. He opened the interface and looked at Hella's Character Summon Card.
"If I'm not wrong, this coin is the carrier of some kind of ability, and this ability is probably Hella's newly awakened ability … No wonder it's called the amulet. Did she give me a resurrection token?"
The Character Summon Card did not reflect the restrictions and consumption of Hella's ability, but Han Xiao estimated that Hella would not casually give the opportunity to resurrect to an outsider. It should cost a lot.
Han Xiao put the amulet around his neck, stood up, and walked to the window, looking out at the scenery of Black Star Palace.
If Hella had not suddenly mentioned it, he would not have thought of it at all. After so many years in Galaxy, this seemed to be the first time someone celebrated his birthday for him …
Although the birthday of the original body was not on the same day as his own, Han Xiao still felt an inexplicable sense of melancholy.
Once the floodgates opened, the memories could not be stopped. The scenes of the past came one after another, as if it was a lifetime ago.
"Birthday …"
There was a soft sigh in the room.
…
Ps: (Originally, I was short of a lot of character Starlight Points to hold the birthday event two days ago. Thank you, Big Boss Three Important Things, for your generosity yesterday, allowing Han Xiao to celebrate his birthday this year. Also, thank you to all the brothers who have been sending gifts to Han Xiao.
(There have been a lot of big bosses sending gifts recently, but my production is limited. Normally, I can only write 4000 to 5000 words a day. Even if you whip me with a whip, I can't write too fast because our models are different. Some people can easily release chapters with quality and quantity, but some people can't guarantee the direction of the plot once they release chapters. I belong to the latter type. At this point, I can't just release chapters whenever I want to. If it was at the beginning, where there were infinite possibilities and direction, and my condition was good, then I could write faster. But the plot has developed to a certain point, and there are too many clues tangled together, and I have to consider the rhythm of my writing every day. Plus, there are the occasional visits from my period, so a writer like me can't help but slow down. Although brothers often say that I'm not good at writing, every page has a different 'point'. It's just that the person who gets the point is different every time. It's just like how some people like to look at data, while others don't. It's hard to get everyone to agree, and I can't do anything about it. I can only say that brothers should be more tolerant. Finally, thank you all for your kindness (`)
