Chapter 647 Advanced Strengthened Life
The Regrs were exciting as expected, and thepetition was intense.
Han Xiao’s fleet remained on the host. In his free time, he watched the broadcast on the forums. Other than that, he sold all sorts of potions and built some machines.
Among the nine divisions, the Shattered Star Ring Division was the most exciting. The ck Star Army’s diverse range of machines provided the Chinese teams with many creative strategies such as group self-detonation with the nuclear flying backpacks. Those who used this strategy were clearly aware that they would not be able to qualify for the next round, so they decided to have some fun.
Compared to thepetitions in the other divisions, the fights between the Chinese teams were more suspenseful. The Gic Medicine that Han Xiao was selling added more uncertainties to these fights. Comebacks had already happened many times.
Near the end of the Regrs, the qualified teams for the finals in the various divisions were basically decided. To Han Xiao’s surprise, Frenzied Sword’s Rivervale team climbed as high as second on the point-based scoreboard, right below Dynasty, which almost won every single fight.
For Frenzied Sword, who was leading a team for the first time, this was outstanding. In fact, Rivervale was not very strong in direct battles, but it was like God was helping them in the new mode, Survival. They were able to be thest team standing many times. This gave them a lot of points. Hence, they rocketed to second ce in theter stages.
The eight teams that qualified for the Shattered Star Ring Division Finals arranged in descending order were Dynasty, Rivervale, Long Sky, Thunder Storm, Thunder Storm, Fried Eggnts With Fish, Fanatics, and Nine Gates.
As for the Singles, King Admiral, Frenzied Sword, Hao Tian, Li Ge, and the other strong yers all got into the top 16. Maple Moon was 38th ce.
Despite not being able to qualify, her performance was quite good and attracted some fans. Although she did not achieve the results that she obtained in the third season in Han Xiao’s previous life, she gained some fame in advance. Quite a number of teams wanted to sign her into their training program.
The Division Regrs ended. The Division Finals would start after some resting time. As the schedule was tighter than the previous season, it would not be a long rest.
During that, the top teams from the nine divisions and the champions in the Singles took part in the International All-Stars and put on a show for the audience.
On the forums, the Chinese yersmented that they could not wait to see Dynasty’s battle with strong teams with other countries. The champion of the previous season, Tulips, was the champion in their division. As the first runner up in the previous season, Dynasty had the opportunity to fight with the previous champion. Although it was just a performance, countless Chinese yers still hoped that Dynasty could win.
Before the International All-Stars started, Han Xiao received some good news.
During this time of the Pro League for the yers, the Star Beast Organization finally gathered all the rare materials Han Xiao had requested and sent them to Han Xiao from far away.
In the gship’s hall, the Star Beast Organization member delivered an alloy box and said in a respectful tone, “Your Excellency ck Star, the goods you wanted have been delivered. Leader Gobili sends his regards.”
“Okay, thank him for me. We will have many opportunities to work together in the future.”
Han Xiao nodded and sent him away. He then took the box to his training room.
After closing the door, Han Xiao opened the box. Cold air flew out and obstructed his view. After it slightly dissipated, Han Xiao saw ten tubes of liquids inside with various colors. Some had multiple colors, some were transparent, and some were deep blue. These were all potions extracted from the essence of rare gctical creatures rted to the Void Race in some way.
Injecting biological medicines had the risks of causing mutation. The most direct effect of it would be a decrease in attributes. The lower thepatibility, the higher the chances for a mutation to ur. To lower the risks, the creatures Han Xiao listed all had the Void bloodline. Han Xiao was one of the Void Race himself, so the highpatibility would hardly lead to any mutation.
Void creatures were difficult to find. It had taken the Star Beast Organization quite a lot of effort to obtain all of that.
Han Xiao took out the Injector and injected them into his body one after another. He always rested a while in between each tube to ensure that everything was fine before injecting the next tube.
The first few tubes gave him a few more points in attributes, but the effect was getting weaker. When he was at the sixth tube, it did not give him any attributes anymore. Thest time his talent leveled up also happened when he continued injecting after he stopped getting bonus attributes.
As Han Xiao injected thest tube, a notification finally popped up on the interface.
Your talent (Intermediate Strengthened Life) has upgraded.
Upgradeplete, original talent changed to [Advanced Strengthened Life).
Advanced Strengthened Life: Provides extra health based on END on a scale of 1:60, +25 Resistance, +10% all attributes temporarily for every 40% health lost.
“Finally, this talent is upgraded.”
Han Xiao had a joyful expression on his face.
Before the upgrade, the ratio of Endurance to health was 1:30, but it was now 1:60. There was also the effect of getting a ten percent bonus in all attributes temporarily for every forty percent health lost.
“I have two talents that can exchange between mana and health, which makes my health recovery extremely fast. If every forty percent of my health lost triggers a new effect, this means that the longer the battle is, the stronger I will be.”
Harmon had a simr ability, and he had seen its power with his own eyes.
“The only problem is... I’m too tanky. It will take too long to reduce my health by forty percent.”
Han Xiao opened the interface and looked at his health.
(Health: 117,910)
“Hehe, finally, my health is more than a hundred thousand. Even if the Vanguard Officials of the Bloodshed Land fight me all at once, I will be able to tire them out easily. When the secret war starts, I’ve got to find them to have some fun.”
Han Xiao chuckled.
He was so tanky that instead of being called a Mechanic, he might as well be called a Musclechanic.
At the center of the known universe was the base Star Fields of the three Universal Civilizations, which formed a triangle. These were the most advanced and bustling Star Fields in the entire gxy. This ce was called the Central Gxy. It was the universe center of the strong, the powerful, and the rich.
The Abyss of Stars was one of the three Star Fields in the Central Gxy, the core territory of the Federation of Light.
In this Star Field, there were some known forbidden areas.
The Shadow Realm was one of them.
This was a manually modified, and beside it was an eerie ck satellite. There was nond, no seas-it was as if this was a gaseous formed by some sort of ck gas.
The Shadow Realm was a forbidden ce in the Abyss of Stars because this was the territory of a Beyond Grade A [Thousand Shadows).
Just like the Shattered Star Ring, there were also Beyond Grade As in the Abyss Of Stars. In fact, there were more than four of them. Between the Beyond Grade As in the Abyss of Stars, Thousand Shadows was known to be an outcast.
No one knew his name; no one had seen his real face. Every traveler who stepped into the Shadow Realm had disappeared without a trace. This gave Thousand Shadows an aura of mystery and danger. People could only know about him through parts of legends.
These legends could be traced back to as early as the end of the exploration era, meaning there were records of Thousand Shadows dating back to thousands of years ago.
There was a city in the Shadow Realm,prising many buildings and a lot of bases. Countless spaceships were docked there. However, strangely, there was almost no one there. It was deadly silent.
A man sprinted down thepletely empty street. His footsteps and the sound of wind were among the only sounds in this city.
There was a tall tower-shaped pce in the middle of the city. This man ran into the open door of the pce, through the deadly silent corridor, past the spiral staircase, and arrived at the top of the pce.
This was a room, a very wide and spacious room. At the end of the room was a wall embedded with a circr ck mirror. The man came before the mirror, and the pitch ck and smooth mirror reflected the man’s face. He had an ordinary look, except his eyes were pure white like two white crystals.
The man stared at the mirror and softly spoke.
“Your Excellency Thousand Shadows, I did not intend to disturb your rest. Some things have happened; Albert has failed. The team in the Shattered Star Ring was wiped out. Their prey was rescued. We need your guidance.”
Then, the man patiently waited for a reply. After a while, the mirror suddenly started rippling. An indescribably eerie voice appeared. It was ethereal and husky, like the murmur of a higher dimensional being.
“The others?”
“The teams capturing prey in other Star Fields have not met any trouble. Everything is normal.”
“The new shadows... Will convey my message...”
The next second, the ck satellite in outer space suddenlyunched a thin, long beam, heading right to the Shadow Realm and uratelynding at the top of the pce. It was like a bridge that connected them.
Swoosh!
A rippling sound came from the ck mirror. The next moment, ten ck shadows walked out of the mirror one after another like walking into reality from the world inside the mirror. These shadows were allpletely pitch ck. Tiny ck dust made from an unknown material was dissipating from them and vaporizing in the air. The shapes of these shadows were gradually changing. New limbs kept growing out and disappearing.
Within a few seconds, the ten shadows finally stopped changing shapes. The ck color on their bodies rapidly disappeared, and they turned into ten beings of different races. There were some that looked like humans and some that did not. Their faces and body shapes were all different, too. It was like they were all individual beings.
The leader was a beautiful, naked woman. Her eyes were closed. She took a deep breath. As if the air she inhaled had awoken her bodily functions, only then did she slowly open her eyes. Her nk, lifeless eyes started to look lively and intelligent. She did a stretch and moaned.
“How long was I asleep? I seem to have forgotten many things...” The woman raised her eyebrows and seemed to be trying to recall something. “My name is... Stephanie?”
The man at the side was used to this. He bowed and said, “Hello Stephanie, what orders does His Excellency Thousand Shadows have?”
Thousand Shadows? Stephanie felt a sense of belonging to this name, and a lot of memories started appearing in her head. Without hesitation, she said, “He told us to continue Albert’s mission and capture the targets on the list, bringing the escaped prey back.”
The man nodded and said, “Okay, the ten of you will be the new team in the Shattered Star Ring. Follow me to get your equipment. Rest for a while and get going. Remember what happened to Albert. You have to be stealthier when carrying out the mission.”
“I’ll do my best,” Stephanie replied.
