Not long after, the group of Beyond Grade As arrived outside the Psionic Seal Ring and chose an empty area as the battlefield.
Han Xiao and Silver Shadow walked out from the crowd and faced each other in the middle of the battlefield. The other Beyond Grade As who were watching the show stayed outside the battlefield and watched the drama unfold in the mental chat group that Lotus Swordsman had created.
Viru shook his head and said, "Yin Ying actually chose Black Star as his opponent. I wonder how long he can last."
Lotus Swordsman coldly said, "Even if he beats Kohler, he'll only be second to last. He might as well choose Black Star. As long as he can cause some trouble for him, even if he loses, it'll be better than choosing Kohler."
Kohler was speechless.
Although that's the truth, you won't have any friends if you speak so directly!
Ravenlaude muttered, "Silver Shadow seems to be quite confident, as if he's really confident. Maybe he has some special ability."
"I heard he's a Pugilist? He looks more like an Esper. "
"I've looked into his past. He's extremely fast, and it's said that he has a special flying technique that allows him to constantly accelerate and even reach intermediate warp speed. Plus, he seems to have some Void Bloodline." Maximiler pointed at Yin Ying in the distance and said, "Also, look at the surface of his body with your microscopic vision. The seemingly smooth silver shell is filled with extremely tiny magic circuits. He should have asked the Beyond Grade A Mages of the Sea of Star Spirits to enhance him."
Hearing this, the Beyond Grade As adjusted their vision and entered the microscopic state. They discovered that there were indeed dense energy circuits on Yin Ying's body, just like semi-invisible tattoos.
"There are a few Beyond Grade A Mages in the Sea of Star Spirits. With such a wild style, it should be the [Secret Master] of the elderly idol group. Although this guy is one of the people behind the scenes of the Galactic Black Market and is half neutral, his fees are not cheap. Looks like Yin Ying has invested a lot."
Ravenlaude was unhappy. "What elderly idol group? They're called The Ancient Ones! "
Lotus Swordsman narrowed her eyes and said, "He has too many enchantments on him. To be able to withstand such a huge burden, his body seems to be too tough."
"Oh, that is indeed the case." Beyoni was helpless. "But no matter how tough his body is, can it be as tough as Black Star's?"
"… That's true."
With Han Xiao in front of them, everyone was no longer surprised by all kinds of meat shields.
"Speaking of which, ever since the battle with the Mecha Empire, Black Star hasn't fought a Beyond Grade A Super for almost twenty years. At that level, even he won't be able to maintain his shocking growth rate." Viru shook his head.
Clottey, who rarely spoke, casually interjected. "Close to the upper limit of an individual's strength. Any higher and you'll have to break the limits of the entire explored universe. How many Beyond Grade As in history have failed to create a new level? How could it be so easy?"
While everyone was chatting, Han Xiao and Yin Ying were already in formation.
The Lord's Avatar was hovering in space with a small mechanical army. There were not many of them, and their black armor was surrounded by wisps of blue-gold Mechanical Force.
As a Mechanic, he stood where he was without moving. Instead, it was Yin Ying who took the initiative to distance himself.
Such a situation was rare. The surrounding Beyond Grade As looked at each other and smiled. In the entire universe, probably only Black Star, a Mechanic, could make a Pugilist not dare to attack him.
Yin Ying circled around Han Xiao from afar, looking for openings and opportunities, but he did not attack.
Han Xiao stood where he was and watched him spin around for a long time without showing any signs of attacking. He could not help but say,
He could not help but ask, "How long are you going to circle for? Come here! "
Yin Ying did not reply. He continued to circle around and gradually accelerated. His flying speed became faster and faster, and his figure gradually became blurry. He was like a silver comet, leaving behind a trail of silver afterimages, like the flame tail of a meteor.
Through the Void Vision, Han Xiao could clearly see that Yin Ying's speed was not just fast. The space around him was distorted to a certain extent, constantly squeezing behind him, forming a tide-like phenomenon, allowing him to glide on the waves, providing additional acceleration.
At the same time, the familiar Void Energy on Yin Ying's body showed that he also had a portion of Void Genes.
Han Xiao had a rough understanding of Yin Ying's abilities. Among the Beyond Grade As, Yin Ying mainly had a few well-known characteristics. First, he was fast and could maintain warp speed for a long time. At his peak, he could reach high warp speed.
Second, his body was extremely tough, almost indestructible.
Third, his Species Talent was rare.
Fourth, he was like a bus.
Yin Ying's health was not high, but his defense was extremely ridiculous. Even Heber could not compare to him. This was related to his attributes as a mutated Universal Treasure.
Due to his various special abilities, although Yin Ying was currently a new Beyond Grade A, his actual combat strength should be above Kohler and Beyoni, on par with Viru and Heber, and slightly weaker than Maximiler, Ravenlaude, and Lotus Swordsman. His mental strength was also Yin Ying's weakness.
As one of the top leaders of the dynasty's Beyond Grade A combatants, Han Xiao did not mind letting Yin Ying use all his means. After all, the other party was a Beyond Grade A with special abilities, so it was worth befriending him. He wanted to let the other party show his strength and gain the right to speak in the circle.
It was not that Han Xiao was arrogant, but he had already calculated the possibilities of this battle time and time again in his mind.
With his current strength, he could completely control the situation. He did not need any fancy moves to deal with Yin Ying at all. He could just F2A and finish the job.
Flying Dragon Riding Face, he could not lose.
No matter what fancy moves you make, I'll take you down with one shot.
Han Xiao patiently waited for Yin Ying to speed up, only occasionally letting the mechanical army fire long-range shots.
Finally, Yin Ying felt that he had finished warming up. He suddenly turned around and charged forward. Like a beam of light, he crossed a large distance in the blink of an eye and charged toward Han Xiao's mechanical army.
After receiving Han Xiao's permission, the combat artificial intelligence Spartan immediately reacted and activated the spacetime stabilizing device and spacetime stabilizing anchor.
The stability of the surrounding space suddenly increased. Part of Yin Ying's speed came from the distortion of space. At this moment, his speed was greatly reduced, but he was still very fast. Even a Calamity Grade could not see his figure clearly, only a thin silver line.
Relying on his high speed, Yin Ying tangled with the mechanical army. The psionic cannons often missed, and the silver Pugilist waves kept hitting the psionic shields of the mechanical army but could not penetrate them.
After probing for a while, Yin Ying turned around and charged toward the psionic shields of the mechanical army like a silver comet.
Just as it was about to collide, this silver comet suddenly mutated and split like a cluster warhead, turning into hundreds of tiny silver meteors that instantly scattered in all directions, quickly circling around the surface of the psionic shield, turning around and charging into the formation of the mechanical army from the side where there was no protection.
Every sub-body was a ball of silver liquid metal, and their appearance had all become a miniature version of Yin Ying. They were all a part of his body.
This was Yin Ying's Species Talent. The transformation in the Star Core had brought him a mutation. His body could achieve the effect of nano-splitting and change shape, all under his control.
Furthermore, the split sub-bodies also had a considerable degree of combat strength. Because the total strength of the sub-bodies did not change, the combat strength of the sub-bodies depended on the proportion of energy distributed by Yin Ying and their size. The Void Bloodline allowed him to use the Void Dimension to provide energy to the sub-bodies remotely, and the health of the sub-bodies was also determined by the proportion of their size.
The attribute of Yin Ying's Universal Treasure gave him a terrifying defense, which would not be shared equally. Therefore, even if the sub-bodies did not have high combat strength, they were almost indestructible, which was his advantage.
Because of this special ability, Yin Ying could be considered a rare tall, rich, and handsome Pugilist. He did not need to do everything personally.
A portion of the sub-bodies relied on their high speed to charge through the mechanical army. However, due to their power being scattered, although their attack frequency was fast, they were unable to destroy the mechanical soldiers that had been strengthened for god knows how many generations. At the same time, they were also enhanced by Han Xiao's Mechanical Force. They could only leave marks that were neither deep nor shallow on the armor of these mechanical soldiers.
On the other side, the rest of the sub-bodies merged again and turned into a smaller Yin Ying. They charged straight at Han Xiao and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The Lord's Avatar did not move at all. Blue arcs shot out from its eyes, and [Virtual Paramount] directly entered Han Xiao's soul!
The next moment, Silver Shadow lost control of its body and crashed at high speed. It was a complete mess!
Even the scattered sub-bodies lost control and were easily captured by the mechanical army.
Han Xiao turned his body slightly, and Yin Ying rolled past him. He accurately reached out, grabbed Yin Ying's ankle, and pulled Yin Ying back.
Yin Ying's weakness was his mental strength. [Virtual Paramount] was not only a mental attack but also a Virtual Technology attack. With Han Xiao's Virtual Technology and level suppression, it would take a very long time for Yin Ying's consciousness to break free. This was enough time for him to mess with Yin Ying.
Nano mechanical tentacles extended out from the back of the Lord's Avatar and tightly bound Yin Ying. At the same time, the tentacles carried electromagnetic, space, and other control devices. Miniature disc-shaped psionic floating cannons popped out from the shoulder of the Lord's Avatar and floated around Yin Ying's head.
The mechanical army in the distance also scattered and rushed over. They all aimed their guns at the controlled Yin Ying and released a reverse psionic shield at the same time, locking Han Xiao and Yin Ying inside. This way, if Yin Ying wanted to escape, he would have to break through the shield and take away his acceleration space.
At this time, Yin Ying finally broke free from Virtual Paramount. His mind was heavily damaged, and he entered many negative states. As soon as his consciousness returned, he realized that he was firmly controlled.
"Do you still want to continue?" In the mental chat group, Han Xiao said with a smile.
"… This kind of formation can't hurt me." Yin Ying struggled for a while and realized that it was impossible to break free. He simply pulled his head out and abandoned most of his body to break free from the control. His head turned into a small person, standing on the smooth silver cross-section of his neck.
"I know that your body is extraordinarily tough. My troops might not be able to do much damage to you." Han Xiao nodded and smiled. "However, you can't rely on this to gain the upper hand. Trust me, I have a lot of experience in this area."
In reality, he was actually a natural counter to Yin Ying. If the Spacetime Amber was here, things would be much easier. Yin Ying's split sub-bodies were very small, making it easier for the Spacetime Amber to form. He could easily seal the sub-bodies and continuously weaken Yin Ying. However, this was only a Lord's Avatar, and the Spacetime Amber was with the main body.
Yin Ying pondered for a while, retracted his aura, and nodded. "You win."
He originally wanted to rely on his high speed, sub-body splitting, and strong body to catch Han Xiao off guard. The main reason was to gain the upper hand for a while. He did not have the confidence to defeat Black Star, even if it was just a Lord's Avatar.
However, the attack that he had been preparing for a long time was easily neutralized by Han Xiao, and he fell directly into the enemy's control. This made him clearly feel the difference in strength, and the battle was completely within Black Star's control.
With most of his body in Han Xiao's hands, he would be in an even more sorry state if he continued to fight. Furthermore, Black Star was kind enough to let him display his strength. Yin Ying appreciated this kindness and did not want to continue fighting. Although he wanted to challenge the strong, he did not want to be tortured.
Hearing this, Han Xiao released the seal, allowing Yin Ying to return to his original state. He smiled and said, "You now owe me a request."
"What do you want me to do?" Yin Ying asked.
"Hmm, you owe me for now. I'll look for you when I think of it." Han Xiao thought about it but did not mention it immediately.
He wanted to study Yin Ying's body and find out the hidden attributes of a Universal Treasure. However, their relationship was not at that stage yet, and the other party might not be willing to take out his body for him to study. This was very risky for a Beyond Grade A Super.
Therefore, it was better to establish a good relationship with him before making this request. After all, this was not a one-time deal. He had to build a good relationship with Yin Ying so that he would be willing to use it more often in the future.
In his previous life, Carrott was a close friend of Yin Ying, which was why he could enjoy so many free private services.
Speaking of which, Carrott should have joined the dynasty's side by now. It's still too early for him to take shape. I wonder if his experience changed under my interference …
"Okay, I'll remember it." Yin Ying nodded.
"If you have time, you can come to the Shattered Star Ring or the Flickering World to find me. If you encounter any problems, you can also come to me for help." Han Xiao laughed.
Yin Ying nodded silently. Black Star's friendliness was very useful to him. He acted like a big brother and almost said 'I'll protect you'.
He sighed in his heart.
The other Beyond Grade As were deliberately making things difficult for the newcomers, only Black Star was different. This was the bearing that the future pillar of the dynasty should have.
Seeing that the battle was over, the surrounding Beyond Grade As crowded around.
This result was not out of everyone's expectations, but Black Star's stable performance still shocked many people. Fighting again after twenty years, the feeling that Black Star gave everyone was no longer that of a swordsman but a head-on suppression with ease.
Although they did not fight, everyone knew what Yin Ying was capable of and secretly judged what would happen if they fought against him. The conclusion was that although Yin Ying was a newcomer, his combat strength was not bad. Kohler and Beyoni were not confident of winning.
This was especially so for Kohler. He could not help but secretly rejoice that Yin Ying did not accept his invitation to spar. Otherwise, he would have really embarrassed himself.
However, facing such a Yin Ying, Black Star was actually so relaxed. His level was really different.
Other than Clottey, the Beyond Grade As present respected Han Xiao even more.
Returning to the spaceship, they set off for Planet Crimson Ring. Han Xiao chatted with Yin Ying while opening the interface. Looking at Yin Ying's Beyond Grade A Challenge Mission, it was already displayed as' Completed '.
He did not calculate the reward immediately. He planned to find Fu Ding after his consciousness returned to his main body. This important step could not be ignored.
…
After returning to Planet Crimson Ring, Yin Ying said goodbye to everyone and went to his residence to rest.
Just as Han Xiao was about to deactivate his Lord's Avatar, a dynasty personnel approached him.
"Your Excellency Black Star, Mr. Bekorodi invites you to meet him."
"Bekorodi?" Han Xiao knew that this was an important leader of the dynasty's hardliners and was not on the same line as him. He could not help but be curious. "Why is he looking for me?"
"He wants to talk to you about the Evolution Cube."
Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. Over the past decade, due to the continuous suppression of Radiance and Ethereal, some of the dynasty's upper echelons still insisted on the ownership of the Evolution Cube. Bekorodi seemed to be a hardcore supporter, and he had heard of this before.
What does he want to talk to me about?
Han Xiao was curious and nodded. "Alright, lead the way."
"Please follow me."
The dynasty personnel led the way, and the two of them arrived at a government building. After passing through layers of restrictions, they arrived at a private meeting room.
As soon as Han Xiao entered, he saw an old but dignified dynasty official sitting on the main seat. His face was tense, and his nose was a little big. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were deep. He looked like a rather tough person.
"Hello, Black Star. I'm Bekorodi. This is not the first time we've met." Bekorodi squeezed out a smile.
"However, this is the first time we've met in private." Han Xiao sat down on the other side of the table and shook his head.
He had only seen this person in meetings with the dynasty's upper echelons before and had not really interacted with him.
"I'm not someone who likes to talk nonsense, so I'll get straight to the point." Bekorodi placed his hands on the table and said with a deep voice, "The dynasty wishes to use some things to exchange for the Evolution Cube. You can name your conditions."
Want to exchange for my Evolution Cube? Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
In fact, such signs had been there for a long time, but it was only today that the dynasty's upper echelons made it public to him.
"This isn't your idea alone, is it?" Han Xiao smiled faintly.
"That's right. I hope you understand that this is not a personal grudge. In the past, we would not have done this, and the Evolution Cube would have been fine even if you had it. However, EsGod's inheritance brought the Evolutionary Totem and even more Evolutionary Civilization technology, and the Evolution Cube became the core of these technologies. The dynasty wishes to have such a strategic Universal Treasure, but due to Her Excellency's support for you, it has been delayed until now. "
Han Xiao nodded. He could understand this point. As a civilization, they had a lot of concerns, and such a strategic thing could only be assured if they had it in their hands. Benefits were one thing, but a qualified civilization would never place all their hopes on an individual or their allies.
Not to mention the Red Empire, be it in Radiance or Ethereal, as long as the Evolutionary Totem and a series of supporting technologies appeared, they would make the same choice, or even worse.
If he was a Beyond Grade A of an advanced civilization, they might have directly asked him to hand it over instead of allowing him to name his conditions.
Since he was an external ally, the dynasty could not force him to hand over his private property to them, or it would have a very bad impact. Thus, they chose the method of exchange.
To an advanced civilization, Beyond Grade As were just tools to fight, and the civilization itself was the main character of the universe.
However, to a Beyond Grade A, there were not many who were sincerely working for the civilization. They were just taking what they needed and using each other.
"Letting me name my conditions, that's quite generous of you …" Han Xiao smiled. "There must be a limit. Why don't you name your price?"
"Okay." Bekorodi nodded. "The dynasty is willing to use Universal Treasures to exchange for your Evolution Cube."
Han Xiao shook his head. "You just said that the Evolution Cube has a different meaning. One for one. Do you think I'm losing out?"
"You're mistaken. It's not one for one."
Bekorodi smiled and slowly said.
"Three Universal Treasures for one Evolution Cube! This is the dynasty's sincerity. What do you think? "
