In the combat information, Sorokin's level was a question mark. Just like Manison, only a small portion of his abilities were revealed. Sorokin's strength was obvious from just a small portion of it.
Sorokin was an Esper with the Psychic Ability, and almost all of the abilities he displayed were related to the mind. Han Xiao also saw a few special abilities and talents that strengthened his mind, such as invasion, reading, control, and so on.
[Body Reconstruction]: If your body is destroyed, you can use your mind energy to reconstruct it. The current HP of the reconstructed body will be 30%. The body is the carrier of the soul and also the barrier.
[Multi-Dimensional Energy Absorption]: You can absorb multi-dimensional energy to replenish your energy.
[Soul Energy Foundation]: Unique talent. Your soul is like the cells of your body. It can also provide and store energy.
[Immortal]: Your Psionic Resistance has been slightly increased.
[Swindler — Sorokin]: Unique talent. + 75% Psionic Esper Strength, + 20% INT and MYS, + 4 Levels for all Psionic Skills (This effect can exceed the level limit).
What a powerful ability … Han Xiaoxin's expression was a little grim.
[Immortal Soul] and [Body Reconstruction] could be regarded as divine skills for Psionic Espers. Normal Psionic Espers would die without a body, and their soul would continue to weaken. However, Sorokin's soul was a life of its own and did not need a carrier. This might be a change brought about by his Race Evolution.
Based on these two abilities and the talent [Immortal], Han Xiao had some guesses.
Could it be that … Sorokin had actually lived for a long time with different identities?
No wonder there was so little information about him!
If that's the case, his age is probably beyond my imagination!
Han Xiao secretly raised his guard and cast a glance over.
If it wasn't for the combat information, it would have been difficult for him to guess that Sorokin had such a secret based on Sorokin's low-key and cowardly style.
'This guy is very strong, but he puts himself in a very low position. He doesn't care about admitting defeat and likes to flatter others, so it's easy for others to look down on him. Although he's lived for a long time, he's completely different from Manison who has a strong aura … He's a sly old fox!'
Han Xiaoxin muttered in his mind.
Sorokin naturally didn't know that his identity had been exposed, nor did he know what Han Xiao was thinking. He didn't say anything for a while.
The two of them walked in silence for a few minutes. Sorokin's expression suddenly changed when he received the good news from Lovell. A smile appeared on his face.
"Your Excellency Black Star, I wonder if you are willing to sell the Evolutionary Totem publicly?"
Han Xiao came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows.
"I'm fine with it. It's mainly up to the dynasty."
"Sigh, if the Evolutionary Totem can be sold to all civilizations, the market value of the Black Star Corps will be stabilized at an extremely high level. The profits from such a monopolistic business are too great. It's a pity that we can't cooperate …"
Sorokin's expression was filled with regret.
Han Xiao smiled and did not reply. However, he felt that Sorokin's words had another meaning.
After touring around the headquarters, the two of them parted ways. Han Xiao watched Sorokin return to his room and stood there for a few seconds before turning around and returning to his own office.
After pondering for a while in the office, Han Xiao contacted Sylvia and ordered with a deep voice.
"Investigate the Limitless Financial Group's movements after entering the Shattered Star Ring."
"Understood."
…
A few days later, the Black Star Party was held as scheduled. All the guests gathered in the banquet hall, and it was extremely lively.
Han Xiao gave a simple speech, summarizing the results of the previous year's cooperation, and announced the start of the banquet amidst applause.
There were emissaries from various civilizations and representatives from various cooperation organizations present. They were all partners of the Black Star Corps, and they were involved in many businesses.
A few years ago, Han Xiao had decided on the 'Pan-Star Field Interest Union' plan. After a few years of development, the prototype was becoming more and more complete. These partners shared various business channels with the army, allowing the army to reach its current scale. This plan was one of the cornerstones of the army's future development, and he attached great importance to it.
Han Xiao was surrounded by groups of people, passionately chatting. Sylvia stood beside Han Xiao and handled the situation with ease. Laughter could be heard from the crowd from time to time. These representatives were very respectful, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
In another corner of the banquet hall, Sorokin was also surrounded by some people. The Limitless Financial Group was the wealthiest group present, and it was extremely difficult to see Sorokin normally. Many people took this opportunity to come over and befriend him.
Sorokin held his wine glass, smiling as he talked to the people around him while observing all the guests. Looking at the grand scene of the Black Star Party, his eyes had an inexplicable playfulness.
At the same time, his possession consciousness descended into the Bloodshed Land and possessed a follower beside Lovell.
The Tyrant's Party was held at the same time as the Black Star Party, but it was much quieter than the Black Star Corps. Only a few people were whispering, and most of them were focused on the wine and food.
Although Heber was expressionless, looking at this scene, his mood was obviously not good.
Lovell walked around the banquet hall with wine in hand. Suddenly, she saw a follower not far away give her a look. She immediately understood and knew that it was Sorokin. She quietly walked to the side with this follower.
"What's the matter?" Lovell asked softly.
"You will stay in the Bloodshed Land and be in charge of the financial group's work here. When the time comes, the financial group's resources here will be under your control." Sorokin nodded.
"Okay."
A look of surprise flashed across Lovell's eyes. Sorokin's children also had competition between them. For such an important task to be given to her, it meant that her father valued her greatly.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Lovell asked softly, "What's the specific plan of action? Is there anything I need to pay special attention to? "
"I'll give you the details later. To suppress the Black Star Corps' business, we have to start with his partners first."
Sorokin smiled faintly. "I can see that Black Star is deliberately creating a huge net of benefits for his subordinates. Therefore, the first thing we have to do is to cut his net and break it up. We have to destroy the situation that Black Star has painstakingly built for more than ten years. You don't need me to teach you how to do this, right?"
"I understand." Lovell nodded.
"When the financial group's resources are in place, you can start the operation."
…
This year's gathering ended smoothly, and the guests all gained something. On the second day, Sorokin bid farewell and left.
At the dock of the army headquarters, Han Xiao watched as the Limitless Financial Group's fleet turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of space. His brows were tightly furrowed, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
He left just like that … I really can't understand his intentions.
Although he had seen through Sorokin's hidden strength and became more vigilant, he still had no idea what Sorokin was thinking.
Han Xiao had a premonition that Sorokin was planning something in the dark. If the Black Star Corps encountered any abnormalities recently, it would definitely be Sorokin's doing.
Furthermore, according to his probing, the other party's goal was most likely related to the Evolutionary Totem.
"Causing trouble …" Han Xiao sighed.
He had long known that the problem of the Evolutionary Totem would not be resolved so easily. As long as the outside world's demands were not met, there would be no peace.
The dynasty had withstood the majority of the pressure, and the pressure from the Black Star Corps was about to arrive.
"If that's the case, it's best to stay in the dynasty's territory for a period of time and leave some Apostle Weapons and mechanical shells in the army headquarters."
Han Xiao secretly made up his mind. He was still rather wary of the Radiant Federation's teleportation ability.
Ta ta ta …
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from behind him. Han Xiao did not need to turn around to know that it was Hella.
"Han Xiao, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Han Xiao put away his distracting thoughts and looked at Hella's cold and exquisite face.
"I'm going to leave for a period of time. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Aurora."
Han Xiao raised his brows. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to train with Teacher Ames in another Star Field. I might not be able to be your Black Star Guards for the time being," Hella said softly.
Han Xiao was surprised. "Ames is going too?"
"Yes, it was Teacher who invited me."
Han Xiao stared at Hella for a while, and Hella also looked at him indifferently. After looking at each other for a while, a smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, this is a good thing. I'll allow it. I'll take care of Aurora."
"Thank you." Hella nodded.
"There's no need to thank me between us." Han Xiao walked forward, pressed on Hella's shoulder, and said with a deep voice, "I hope that when you return, you'll already be a Beyond Grade A Super."
"You're really confident in me." Hella revealed a rare smile. After hesitating for a moment, she clenched her fist and lightly punched Han Xiao's chest. "Take care of yourself too."
"Don't worry, I'll let Fu Ding be the temporary commander of the Black Star Guards. He's also very reliable. You can go without worry. It won't affect me. You … Hey, don't go. I'm not done yet."
Watching Hella leave with an unfriendly expression, Han Xiao helplessly scratched his head and kept his expression.
It was good to let Hella go out to train. There were very few chances for her to fight by his side. Gaining some experience would help her stimulate her potential and become a Beyond Grade A Super.
However, he did not expect that Ames would also go out to train. He heard that after losing to him two years ago, Ames had focused on training. Now, she was no longer staying at home. It seemed like she was really going to work hard.
With Ames by her side, Hella's personal safety was guaranteed. However, Han Xiao still decided to equip their spaceship with some mechanical troops and mechanical shells as insurance.
Since they're working hard, I can't stay idle either …
Han Xiao entered the quantum network and asked Philip.
"How's the collection of Energy Training Techniques coming along?"
"Master, hum … I've already filtered out the more valuable options for you. Please check, hum …"
A list appeared before his eyes. They were all high-quality Energy Training Techniques that could be bought in various galactic markets. They came from different races, civilizations, and Super organizations.
With just a glance, Han Xiao made his decision.
"Buy them all for me."
