The Regular Season was very exciting. The teams and players all fought to their best, and the competition was intense.
Han Xiao's fleet stayed on the planet where the competition was held. He watched the broadcast on the forums to pass the time. Other than that, he sold all kinds of potions or built some machinery in his free time.
Out of the nine divisions, the Shattered Star Ring division was the most fun. The Chinese teams fought very intensely. The Black Star Corps provided all kinds of creative strategies, such as the group self-destruct tactic using nuclear-powered flying backpacks. Those who dared to use this tactic had obviously given up on healing. They knew that they would not be able to advance, so they started to be naughty.
Compared to the competition in the other regions, the competition between the Chinese teams was even more suspenseful. Due to the fact that Han Xiao was selling the gene serum, the competition was even more uncertain. Who knew how many times the Chinese teams had turned the tables?
As the Regular Season came to an end, the finalists of the various divisions were basically confirmed. What surprised Han Xiao was that Mad Blade's Rivervale team actually climbed to the second place in the division, right behind the Dynasty team that had won almost all their matches.
It was Mad Blade's first time leading a team, and such a result was very eye-catching. Rivervale was actually not very strong in a proper battle. However, in the new survival mode, they were like gods helping them. They managed to survive until the end many times and obtained a large number of points. Therefore, in the second half of the competition, they continuously destroyed the other strong teams and reached the second place.
The eight teams that had advanced in the Shattered Star Ring division finals were ranked according to their points.
Dynasty, Rivervale, Long Sky, Temple of God, Thunderstorm, Fried Eggplants with Fish, Fanatics, Nine Gates
In the Singles competition, King Admiral, Mad Blade, Hao Tian, Li Ge, and other strong players all made it to the top sixteen. Maple Moon was ranked thirty-eighth.
Although she was unfortunately eliminated, her performance was remarkable and attracted a wave of fans. Although she did not achieve the results of the third Pro League in Han Xiao's previous life, she made a name for herself one season earlier. Many teams wanted to sign her and train her.
After the Regular Season ended, there would be a break before the division finals began. As the schedule was tighter than the previous season, there would not be too long of a break.
During this period of time, the teams of the nine divisions and the individual point winners would participate in the International All-Star Competition and perform in the competition.
The Chinese players were leaving comments on the forum. They could not wait to see Dynasty fight with other strong teams from other countries again. The previous world champion, French Tulip, was also the champion of the division. As the runner-up, Dynasty would have the opportunity to fight the previous champion again. Although it was just an exhibition match, countless Chinese players still hoped that Dynasty could avenge their previous humiliation and maintain their strength in the regular season. They wanted to beat them to death.
Before the start of the International All-Star Competition, Han Xiao received a piece of good news.
During the Player League, the Star Beast Organization had finally gathered the rare creature materials that Han Xiao had requested and sent them to Han Xiao from afar.
In the main hall of the flagship, a member of the Star Beast Organization who was transporting goods presented an alloy box and spoke respectfully.
"Your Excellency Black Star, the goods you requested have been delivered. Leader Guobili salutes you."
"Okay, thank him for me. We will have many opportunities to work together in the future."
Han Xiao nodded and sent the person away. He then carried the box to the cultivation room.
After closing the door of the cultivation room, Han Xiao opened the box. White frost-like air flowed out and blocked his vision. After it dispersed slightly, Han Xiao saw ten tubes of liquid of different colors. Some were colorful, some were transparent, and some were dark blue. These were all drugs refined from the essence of rare galactic creatures. They were basically related to the Void species.
There was a risk of mutation when injecting biological drugs. The direct manifestation was that it would reduce attributes. The lower the compatibility, the more likely it was to mutate. To prevent the risk, Han Xiao had listed rare creatures with the Void bloodline in the list. He was a Void species himself, so it would be difficult for him to mutate if he had high compatibility.
Void creatures were not easy to find. The Star Beast Organization had spent a lot of effort to gather them.
Han Xiao took out the syringe gun and injected them into his body one by one. He would rest for a while in between to check the reaction. After confirming that there were no problems, he would inject the next tube.
The first few tubes gave him a few new attributes, but the effect was slowly decreasing. By the sixth tube, it no longer gave him any attributes. The last time his talent leveled up, it also happened when he continued to inject after it no longer gave him any attributes.
Your talent [Intermediate Strengthened Life] has leveled up. Upgrade complete. Original talent has become [Advanced Strengthened Life]!
"This talent has finally leveled up."
Han Xiao's face was filled with joy.
Before the upgrade, the ratio of END to HP was 1: 30. Now, it was 1: 60. Not only that, there was a new effect. Every 40% HP loss would increase all attributes by 10%. This new effect gave him a flash of inspiration.
"I have two talents that convert HP and MP, and my HP regeneration is extremely fast. If I can trigger a new effect every 40% HP loss, it means that the longer the battle, the stronger I will become."
Harmon had a similar ability, and he had seen its power with his own eyes.
"As expected of a Molding Talent, the increase to my combat strength is immediate. The only problem is … my HP is too low.
It will take a long time to reduce my HP by 40%. "
Health: 117910
"Hehe, my HP has finally broken through the 100,000 mark. Pugilists are nothing. Even if the Vanguard Officials of Bloodshed Land gang up on me, I can tire them to death. When the secret war starts, I can find them and have some fun."
Han Xiao chuckled.
He was already as tanky as a wild horse. How could he still be a Mechanic? He might as well be a Muscle Mechanic.
…
At the center of the explored universe was the base Star Fields of the three Universal Civilizations. These were the three most prosperous Star Fields in the Galaxy and were collectively known as the 'Central Galaxy'. There were as many strong people as there were clouds, and it was the center of power and wealth of the universe.
The Abyss of Stars was one of the three Star Fields of the Central Galaxy, the core territory of the Radiant Federation.
In this Star Field, there were some well-known forbidden areas.
'Shadow Ancestral Land' was one of them.
This was a man-made planet. Beside it was a strange black satellite. There was no land or water, as if it was a gaseous planet made of some kind of black gas.
The reason why the Shadow Ancestral Land was a forbidden area in the Abyss of Stars was because it was the territory of the Beyond Grade A Super, [Thousand Shadows].
Just like the Shattered Star Ring, as one of the Central Galaxy's Abyss of Stars, there were also Beyond Grade A Supers there, and there were more than four of them. Among the Beyond Grade As in the Abyss of Stars, Thousand Shadows was a recognized anomaly.
No one knew his name, and no one had ever seen his true face. The travelers who had set foot in the Ancestral Land of Shadows had disappeared without a trace. This gave Thousand Shadows a mysterious and dangerous aura. People could only understand him from a few words of legends.
These legends could be traced back to the end of the exploration era. There were already records of Thousand Shadows thousands of years ago.
There was a city in the Shadow Ancestral Land. There were many buildings, many bases, and countless spaceships docked at the docks. However, the strange thing was that there was almost no one there. It was dead silent and desolate.
A man was running on the empty street. The sound of his footsteps and the wind was one of the few sounds in this silent city.
In the middle of the city was a tower-like palace. He ran into the palace with its door open, ran through the silent corridor, and followed the spiral staircase to the top of the palace.
This was a very spacious room. On the wall at the end of the room, there was a round black mirror with a diameter of five meters. The man came before the mirror, and the dark and smooth mirror reflected the man's face. It was plain, and his eyes were pure white like two white crystals.
The man stared at the mirror and murmured.
"Your Excellency Thousand Shadows, I have no intention of disturbing your sleep. Something has happened. Albert has failed. The team in the Shattered Star Ring was wiped out, and their prey was rescued. We need your guidance."
Then, the man patiently waited for a response. After a while, ripples suddenly appeared on the mirror, and an indescribable strange voice sounded. It was ethereal and hoarse, like the whisper of a high being.
"What about the others?"
"The teams hunting prey in the other Star Fields did not encounter any trouble. Everything is normal."
"The new shadow … will convey my will."
The next moment, the dark satellite in outer space suddenly shot out a thin black ray, heading straight for the Shadow Ancestral Land. It accurately hit the top of the palace, like a bridge connecting the two planets.
Whoosh!
The black mirror in the room let out a rippling sound. The next moment, ten dark figures walked out of the black mirror one after another. It was as if they had walked out of the mirror into the real world. These figures were completely black, emitting tiny black particles that evaporated and disappeared in the air. It was unknown what they were, but the shapes of the figures were still changing. New limbs were growing out and disappearing one after another.
In a few breaths, the ten figures finally took shape. The blackness on the surface of their bodies quickly faded, as if a layer of fetal skin had been removed. They turned into ten creatures of different species. Some were humanoid, and some were not. Their appearances and physical characteristics were also different. It was as if they were all independent living beings.
The leader was a naked and beautiful woman. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This breath of oxygen seemed to awaken her sleeping body. Only then did she slowly open her eyes. Her sluggish eyes gradually turned lively. She stretched her body and let out a comfortable moan.
"How long have I been asleep? I seem to have forgotten a lot of things …" The woman raised her eyebrows, looking like she was reminiscing. "My name is … Stephanie?"
The man beside her was already used to this scene. He nodded and said, "Hello, Stephanie. What orders does His Excellency Thousand Shadows have?"
Thousand Shadows?
Stephanie felt a sense of familiarity with this name. Many memories flooded her mind, and she said without hesitation, "He wants us to continue Albert's mission, continue to capture the targets on the list, and catch the prey that escaped."
The man nodded. "Okay, the ten of you will be the new team operating in the Shattered Star Ring. Follow me to get your equipment. Take a break and set off. Remember Albert's lesson, you have to be more secretive."
"I'll try my best."
