Bloodshed Land headquarters, Planet Heber.
The information from the frontlines was sent back to the command center. Joad paid a visit to Heber. He felt that Black Star's performance required a report.
Heber sat on the enormous throne in the palace. His giant body was like a small mountain, and his back was straight. After hearing Joad's report, not only was he not angry, he even revealed an interested expression. He slowly opened his mouth, his voice like thunder.
"I really didn't misjudge him. It's a waste of his talent to stay with Ames. He should come and be my subordinate," Han Xiao said.
Heber shook his head. He had always thought highly of Han Xiao's abilities, but Han Xiao had already rejected him twice. He would not make an exception and invite him a third time.
"Klent is not too happy. They feel that Black Star is an unstable X factor and should be eliminated as soon as possible," Joad said.
"It's not their turn to teach me how to fight," Heber said calmly. "What do my eight Vanguard Officials think?"
"Er, Wrothers said that he has tarnished Bloodshed Land's reputation and is very ashamed. He wants to use a hundred victories to wash away today's humiliation."
Joad chose his words carefully. In truth, Wrothers was not that emotionally stable. He had been beaten into a corner.
Heber slowly said, "The status of Bloodshed Land will not be lowered because of one battle. He is the victor, so don't act like a loser. In the entire Shattered Star Ring, there are dozens of Calamity Grade Supers with Beyond Grade A potential. However, after so many years, there are only four Beyond Grade A Supers … "
After pausing for a while, Heber's tone turned serious, and a domineering aura swept out. Joad felt as though someone was squeezing his neck, and he stopped breathing.
"Potential is just potential. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone."
Joad was energized. Heber's domineering aura made him admire him greatly. This was the spirit that was worth following with his life.
…
At the same time, on the home planet of the Amethyst Civilization.
Section Zero's two failures made the upper echelons of the Amethyst Civilization very unhappy, and Black Star's performance was the only good news among all the bad news.
The Secret Service, the Strategy Department, the military, and other high-ranking officials held a private meeting to discuss the issue of Black Star.
"Beyond Grade A seeds are very rare. Although the Dragon Emperor is neutral, Black Star is close to the Purple Crystal Sect. He has a very high investment value."
"That's right. Black Star's organizations are all located in the Colton Star Cluster, so he's naturally close to us. If he can become a Beyond Grade A Super, it means that there will be a Beyond Grade A organization in the Colton Star Cluster, which can bridge the gap between us and Klent."
The Amethyst Civilization envied the Klent Kingdom for having an ally like the Bloodshed Land.
If they also had a Beyond Grade A organization as their ally, they would not have had to spend so much effort to establish Section Zero, and they would not have been so passive in the secret war.
Black Star had potential, and his ambition was far greater than the Dragon Emperor's. Coupled with his political leanings, the Amethyst Civilization felt that he had value in nurturing.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss their attitude toward Black Star. They saw more long-term benefits in Han Xiao than this war.
The Star Cluster Civilizations were not afraid of Beyond Grade As, but it did not mean that they did not want them. The various Star Cluster Civilizations in the Shattered Star Ring placed great importance on nurturing Supers. The various public academies recruited students with potential and produced talents every year to replenish the various departments.
However, the most they could nurture was a Calamity Grade Super. They had no hope of becoming a Beyond Grade A Super at all.
Therefore, a Beyond Grade A seed close to the Amethyst Civilization was enough to make the high-ranking officials put down their work and sit in a row for a meeting.
"If Black Star becomes a Beyond Grade A, we can help him build a Beyond Grade A organization and nurture it into an organization on par with the Bloodshed Land. This way, we can offset Klent's advantage and expand our influence in the Star Field."
"Nurturing our own Beyond Grade A ally … this is a good idea, but the prerequisite is that Black Star has to fulfill his potential."
Everyone discussed endlessly.
After a while, they finally reached a consensus.
They would change the way they invested in Black Star and increase the resources they provided to the Black Star Corps. After all, the price of roping in a Calamity Grade was incomparable to roping in a Beyond Grade A. The earlier they roped him in, the lower the cost.
Purple Crystal did not lack resources and was willing to invest in the early stages to bet on Black Star's potential.
At the same time, they would increase the position of the Black Star Corps in Section Zero and focus on Black Star's growth. They would also provide him with a certain amount of strategic protection to prevent other organizations from secretly attacking Black Star.
A Beyond Grade A seed was a new level that surpassed ordinary Calamity Grades. Every single one of them would be the focus of attention of the various organizations, which meant that they would have to endure more storms.
The fame that Han Xiao gained from this battle completely changed the attitude of the Star Cluster Civilizations toward him. Many invisible undercurrents started to revolve around him.
Under the spreading of the rumors, the news of Black Star becoming a new Beyond Grade A seed quickly spread throughout the entire Shattered Star Ring. Some organizations with ulterior motives secretly hyped up the news and let countless galactic residents know about it. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a household name.
Even the other Star Cluster Civilizations that did not have any conflicts of interest with the Amethyst Civilization were not willing to sit back and watch Purple Crystal obtain a person with the potential to become a Beyond Grade A. Out of the mentality of flattery, not only did they not hide the importance they attached to Han Xiao, they even took the initiative to reveal it.
In the process of spreading, some people twisted the rumors time and time again. The process was enough to write a thesis on how rumors spread. In the end, the rumors became 'Black Star will be the future fifth Beyond Grade A of the Shattered Star Ring'!
This was even more shocking than a simple 'Beyond Grade A seed'. It was equivalent to putting Han Xiao on the throne in advance. Countless people were in an uproar!
The large organizations knew that this was bullsh * t, but the majority of the people did not know the inside story. Under the provocative and highly exposed reports, many people really believed the rumors and spread the news to their friends, spreading the news that the fifth Beyond Grade A of the Shattered Star Ring was about to be born.
The news also spread to Floating Dragon.
…
Chi!
The alloy door of the training room opened, and Hella walked out while wiping the sweat on her forehead.
In the past two to three years of training on Floating Dragon Island, she had changed out of her black combat uniform and into a custom-made red trench coat. The special fabric had a high-level shield engraved on it, as well as an Esper Ability enhancement enchantment.
If Han Xiao was here, he would definitely find it familiar. The style of this trench coat was very similar to what he wore when he was Black Phantom.
"It's been almost three years. My ability is getting better and better. According to the evaluation standards of the universe, I have already stabilized my Grade B. According to my current progress, if I don't hit a bottleneck, I will reach Grade B + within three years. Ames said that I have the potential to become a Calamity Grade …"
Hella felt that her Esper Ability was getting better and better, and she was in a good mood.
Ames was an Esper Master, and the experience she imparted to her had benefited her greatly. In order to catch up to Han Xiao, Hella did not slack off for a single day.
She was very satisfied with her progress. This was the result of her sweat.
"Sister, I have good news!"
Just as Hella was about to go back to rest, Aurora ran over with a face full of joy.
"What good news?"
Hella was in a good mood. She pinched Aurora's soft cheeks and asked with a smile.
"It's news about Han Xiao. Everyone is saying that he will become a Beyond Grade A Super very soon. Even the news is reporting about this!"
Aurora raised the communicator that was playing the news and handed it to Hella as if she was asking for credit. She could not wait to share this news.
Hella was stunned.
"He's going to become a Beyond Grade A Super?"
Ames was a Beyond Grade A Super. Did this not mean that Han Xiao was about to become as strong as Ames?
Hella clenched her teeth. She was originally very satisfied with her progress, but now she felt a sense of urgency. She felt that she would never be able to catch up to Han Xiao.
Compared to him, what was this little bit of progress?
I'm still not working hard enough!
Aurora was talking excitedly when she suddenly saw Hella turn around and walk into the cultivation room. The next moment, the 'in use' signal light lit up in the cultivation room.
"Sister?"
Aurora was stunned.
The two of them did not see that Ames was floating in midair, looking down at them.
"With such a strong personality, Hella's progress will be faster than I expected."
Ames smiled.
Although she was lazy, she admired the hardworking Hella.
Before every Beyond Grade A Super was formed, they had to work hard for a period of time. During this period, they would create their own legend. She seemed to see her younger self in Hella.
As for Black Star, Ames could no longer understand this officer of hers.
As Han Xiao did shocking things time and time again, Ames's impression of him had been shattered and reformed many times. At this point, she was no longer willing to waste energy guessing Han Xiao's potential. She only had a simple evaluation of him.
Unfathomable!
Ames had never thought that a random mercenary she had recruited back then would have such achievements.
Her requirements for Han Xiao had already been lowered to the lowest.
As long as Black Star stood by her side, she would be satisfied.
…
More than half of the Star Field was hyping up his name, and Han Xiao could not help but feel ashamed.
Are these people really talking about me?
When did I fight the Tyrant to a standstill?
When did I pursue Ames?
When did I say that I would challenge the Crimson Dynasty?
Since when did I have a conversation with Austin … Oh, this is true.
Han Xiao was speechless. Do these reporters not know that they will have to take responsibility in the future?
After returning to the base in the Garton Star System, he finally understood the impact of this matter.
The attitude of the Godora Civilization had obviously changed. They were even more respectful and took the initiative to extend the cooperation time between the two sides. They also opened up the resource channels and provided more strategic resources.
Han Xiao also heard that Serbia the Fifth was preparing to tour the entire Star System, and his first stop was Planet Golden Gate. He wanted to visit him publicly.
On the surface, the reason was to 'give a friendly visit to the owner of the Golden Gal Statue Badge and to have a deeper strategic cooperation regarding the employment of the Black Star Army in the Garton Star System', which was a typical line for a program that would not change the channel at seven in the evening.
The compensation resources from the Amethyst Civilization had already been sent to the base. Just the cash alone was ten million Enas, which was far more than the amount promised by the Amethyst Civilization. It was a surprise that the resources were increased by a few times.
Han Xiao was speechless. He knew that his performance would cause a sensation, but he did not expect the impact to exceed his expectations. The importance that the Amethyst Civilization placed on him had obviously increased by a few levels.
This greatly increased the speed of the plan that he had set before the war started.
He immediately got Philip, Herlous, and Sylvia to work to replenish the lost battleships and manpower. He then went to the training room, took out the communicator, and opened the information about [Abnormal State Energy] that the Amethyst Civilization had given him.
As long as I learn this knowledge, my strength will increase exponentially. The destruction of the Mech Legion is a good opportunity for a complete revolution.
Excited, Han Xiao opened the interface.
Mechanic Cutting-Edge Knowledge detected: [Abnormal State Energy]. Consume 12 Potential Points to learn?
"Yes."
Learning in progress. Please do not stop … 9% … 34% … 58% …
Successfully learned! You have learned [Abnormal State Energy]!
Profound and complicated knowledge flowed into his mind. Han Xiao digested it for a while and exhaled.
He had told Ralph that he would have to learn it for a month. Of course, it was bullsh * t. No one knew that he could learn it so quickly. This excuse was flawless.
"Finally, I have my first Cutting-Edge Knowledge."
Han Xiao was overjoyed. He had already met the Class Advancement requirements.
A new notification popped up on the interface.
Prerequisites for class change completed!
You have received a new class [Truth Mechanic Lv.1]. + 210 Energy, + 2 STR, + 4 DEX, + 4 END, + 10 INT. You have received 7 Free Attribute Points and 1 Potential Point.
Success!
Han Xiao did not have the time to look at the new abilities and talents that came with the Class Advancement. Joy appeared on his face.
[Truth Mechanic] was a high-grade Mechanic class. It was one level higher than [Galaxy Mechanic], and its level limit was also Level 25.
The name of this stage represented that a Mechanic had begun to touch the truth of machinery.
However, in the eyes of the players in his previous life, this name had another meaning.
