Chapter 254 The Blood Rage of the Daoist

Han Xiao was slightly stunned to see the five abilities Gorutan drew.

"The Ultimate Flow?"

There were countless martial arts schools in the universe. Most of the martial arts skills of the Ultimate Flow were abilities of the burst type, reflecting the harsh security environment of the time… of course, it may also be that the founder of the Ultimate Flow had a special liking for the style of hurting the enemy a thousand while damaging himself eight hundred.

Advanced martial artists were all masters who drew on the strengths of many schools, so it was not strange to know the techniques of the Ultimate Flow.

The ability of the former Overlord character card was [Ultimate Flow - Cell Hyper-Limit], and what was drawn from Gorutan at this time was Blood Qi Rampage. The effects of the two were quite similar, but the former exchanged potential for combat power, while the latter burned current health points.

Compared to ordinary people, the burst of Cell Hyper-Limit, although damaging to potential, did not have immediate negative effects, and only added to current combat power without weakening it.

Blood Qi Rampage, on the other hand, had to continuously burn health points. If the recovery power could not keep up, one would be seriously injured if it was used for too long, making it unsuitable for protracted battles, and one might be noticed by the enemy who would deliberately delay.

Han Xiao estimated that Gorutan did not use this move on him for this reason, after all, his new type of mechanic was famous for his endurance.

"However, this ability is just right for me."

Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

His recovery power could be called a perpetual motion machine, unmatched even by the Beast Ancestor. Burning health points was a piece of cake for him. If used properly, it could be completely used as a stable burst ability in his hands.

In comparison, [Microscopic Shedding] and [Block Penetration], although also good, could not compare to the value of Blood Qi Rampage.

"Losing the one-time character card of Cell Hyper-Limit, but exchanging it for a long-term stable burst ability, tsk tsk, comfortable…" Han Xiao smacked his lips, overjoyed.

Even if the burst effect of Blood Qi Rampage was lower than Cell Hyper-Limit, he could accept it. It was simply a blood profit.

At this moment, Han Xiao only wanted to raise his hands and praise Fording.

…Oh, and Nero.

[You have gained [Ultimate Flow - Blood Qi Rampage]!]

The new ability drawn from the five Super-A Grades immediately acted on Han Xiao's body, changing every one of his cells.

Whoosh!

A strong throbbing pain swept through his body, and it took a while before it gradually subsided.

Han Xiao had already adapted to this pain of rapid evolution. He breathed out and felt the changes in his body.

Well, his strength was obviously much fuller. This was the effect of Wormhole's [Cell Activity Expansion]. His physique was much stronger, as if he had taken off an invisible weight. This should be the influence of Tolerain's [Overload]. His willpower was faintly enhanced, originating from Hadith's [Mental Barrier Enhancement]. The mechanical force in his body was more sensitive, and the manipulation was more meticulous, which was the effect of Jack Gornitz's [Mechanical Control Master]… Han Xiao sorted through the changes in his body and only felt refreshed.

A new notification popped up on the panel. [Hela Rescue Battle] generated a new copy. Han Xiao didn't need to look to know that the challenge level of this thing was probably higher than the Lighthouse Star Battle, and it was only for players to admire from a distance, not to touch.

After reading the notification, Han Xiao looked at the task list. At this time, the [Hela Rescue Battle] task had disappeared, indicating that the reward had been settled.

Han Xiao curiously tried the effect of [Ultimate Flow - Blood Qi Rampage]. This ability could customize the amount of blood burned. The upper limit was not displayed, but it could not be less than 0.1% of the maximum health per second, so he turned on the skill at the minimum limit.

Bang!

At the position of Han Xiao's heart, a circle of blood-colored halo suddenly bloomed, standing in front of him, spreading like ripples.

The next moment, he only felt that the blood all over his body was suddenly boiling!

Bright red blood steam spewed out from his body, reacting very violently, looking like burning blood flames, entangled in his body. At a rough glance, people who didn't know might mistake it for red martial arts flames.

This blood-red steam was the blood qi energy obtained by burning health points. It was as easy to use as an arm in Han Xiao's perception, and a stream of new power was constantly generated in his body with the burst of blood qi energy.

He summoned a mirror and took a look, only to see that his appearance was very different from his usual calm and masculine temperament. Under the reflection of the blood-colored steam, his whole person added a bit of ferocity, appearing evil and violent, but his emotions were not affected.

Looking at the panel feedback, Han Xiao pondered:

"The burst bonus of Blood Qi Rampage is mainly based on attack power and ability strength, leaning towards offense, which is still somewhat different from the comprehensive bonus of Cell Hyper-Limit."

Turning off Blood Qi Rampage, a sense of weakness suddenly surged up, and disappeared after a while.

In order to re-understand his own combat power, Han Xiao tested the various new abilities from different angles, and then stopped, nodding in satisfaction.

"A large wave of experience, four random rewards, a blank character card, four powerful character cards, and five good abilities obtained by extraction, I'm rich, I'm rich."

Han Xiao felt refreshed.

The task difficulty was very high, and the harvest was also quite rich. His own combat power had been greatly improved, and he had a few more new trump cards.

Suppressing his excited emotions, Han Xiao put away his smile and thought about the actual impact of this matter.

The major forces' views on him had changed, and they were nothing more than more attention and fear. During the time he rushed back, more forces had sent goodwill, and some forces that were secretly causing trouble had stopped their petty actions. The Infinite Consortium had this kind of sign.

Overall, the prestige effect was very good. The Black Star Army's position in the entire universe had been consolidated, occupying the headlines, and its prestige was unparalleled, which was considered to have achieved the goal Han Xiao had envisioned.

Including the players, more people submitted applications to join the Black Star Army. The cadres in charge of this area had been working overtime day and night recently, dealing with recruitment matters. It was foreseeable that the size of the legion would usher in a wave of growth in the future.

"It is estimated that Glory and Void Spirit are considering exchanging prisoners, and a large amount of resources can be exchanged back soon." Han Xiao nodded secretly.

He naturally did not intend to keep the Super-A Grade allies of those four cosmic civilizations. They could not be eaten or used in his hands, and they were just a few hot potatoes. Exchanging them for benefits was the best way. However, this time, he would not easily hand people over. He had to hold them back and make things difficult for Glory and Void Spirit, publicly apologizing and expressing their position, otherwise, don't even think about taking people away.

"Speaking of which, Cthulhu's proposal is not impossible to consider. Sell Glory's people to Void Spirit and let the two families stab each other…" Han Xiao scratched his chin and rolled his eyes.

Gorutan did not have this treatment. Han Xiao was going to collect him.

He also paid attention to the forces of the Beast Ancestor. After the boss fell, the forces predictably became chaotic, splitting into several factions, intending to divide the family. There was a lot of internal trouble, and many external forces were also eyeing the "legacy" left by the Beast Ancestor, ready to divide this piece of fat at any time.

"Should I participate? After all, I defeated the Beast Ancestor. There's no reason for me to kill the pig and let others eat the meat."

Han Xiao pondered.

The possible reactions of the various forces emerged in his mind one after another, and were quickly coordinated and analyzed by the overall situation thinking. At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and an idea suddenly formed. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.

Han Xiao's eyes slowly lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile.

"If the Crimson Dynasty's reaction is really as I thought, then after a while, I seem to be able to go to Sorokin and fleece him…"

Han Xiao had previously released news to the outside world that he was going to retreat and recuperate. On the one hand, it was to make his statement of "burning potential" more credible, and on the other hand, it was to leave free time to do some things.

There were several things that needed to be done. The first was to deal with the subsequent impact of this matter, dealing with prisoners, dealing with the Empire, dividing the Beast Ancestor's inheritance, and so on.

The second was to use the recuperation time to repair the damaged mechanical legion from this battle. The workload was not small, and by the way, the Emperor's Robe had to be built and the carrier of the Arcane Envoy optimized.

Third, it was to respond to Manison and Cthulhu's kindness this time, and use the Black Star Army's huge power in the Shattered Star Ring to start building a communication platform for the Super-A Grade unified front.

The last thing was to take Ames to a secondary dimension to catch back the old buddy of Chaos Arcana, the Holy Light Particle.

"It seems there are a lot of things to be busy with." Han Xiao thought to himself, "But after this battle, I don't have to worry about the development of the Black Star Army for a long time. I have a lot of time to do my own things."

After planning in his heart, Han Xiao put away his thoughts and walked out of the room.

After returning to touch Ding, he went straight to the training ground to settle the rewards. He had not had a good chat with the many cadres yet, so he went straight to the office and asked Phillip to summon the core cadres.

…

Han Xiao walked into the office, and everyone was already waiting here. Ames also followed.

Logically speaking, this was an internal matter of the legion, and idlers could not enter, but Ames' relationship was unusual, and no one present was so blind as to stop her from watching.

"You're finally willing to come back? You really know how to order people around." Ames leaned against the wall, tilted her head and looked at Han Xiao, with a smile that was not a smile.

"Cough cough, I have something to do." Han Xiao said helplessly.

He invited Ames to sit in the Black Star Palace just to be safe. He didn't expect it to really come in handy and repel the Traveler.

"Don't forget what you promised me." Ames raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I'll go on vacation with you when I'm done with my work." Han Xiao nodded.

"Well, I won't disturb you then."

Ames took one last look at Hela, turned and left the room. Although no one drove her away, she was also sensible and would not stay here to listen to the internal affairs of the Black Star Army.

Han Xiao returned to his seat and sat down. He first looked at Hela, "After a while, you have to continue to be responsible for the front-line exploration. I will build a new thing for you. It's the mech that sent you back this time. With it, you don't have to be afraid of being besieged again."

"Okay." Hela had no objection.

"Has the Empire contacted you recently?"

Hela shook her head, "No."

"Then I'll give you a reminder first. If they use me as an excuse to let you join the Empire, you come and discuss it with me first. Don't agree rashly."

"Don't worry, I know."

Han Xiao nodded and asked curiously, "By the way, how is your connection with Aurora?"

"It's stable." Hela paused and said, "But I can still sense the existence of that special secondary dimension… Can you take me to the secondary dimension vacation this time? I want to see it by the way."

"I'm afraid not this time. After I go out, someone has to sit in the legion." Han Xiao shook his head and added, "I'll go with you next time."

Hearing this, Hela nodded to show that she knew, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, seemingly in a good mood.

After chatting for a few words, Han Xiao looked at the other cadres and swept towards Fording with an appreciative look. After seeing him feel uncomfortable, he put away his smile and let everyone report their work.

Sylvia, Melos, Reynold, and others summarized the work situation during this period. During the report, many Calamity Grade cadres couldn't help but secretly look at Han Xiao at this time. This wave of results also surprised many cadres, and many people's admiration, awe, and loyalty to Han Xiao became more profound.

After listening to everyone's reports, Han Xiao nodded and said, "The situation is very good now. After this incident, the Black Star Army will be smoother in the Shattered Star Ring. No one will easily test us again. Next, you will expand the recruitment wave. The legion may usher in some huge business opportunities after a while. Be prepared…"

Han Xiao told them about the precautions for the development of the legion. Seeing everyone nodding, he suddenly thought of Evans.

Evans also returned with the ship transporting the throne. Han Xiao asked Phillip to arrange a place for him to live and hid him.

Before Evans, this secret weapon, grew to a certain point, Han Xiao would not let him be exposed to others.

Putting away this thought, Han Xiao leaned back and leaned on the chair, and asked, "That's all for the specific matters. If there are no questions, you can go back."

Sylvia said, "By the way, there is one thing that needs your attention. A great director wants to meet you."

Han Xiao was stunned.

Great director? Who is it, Manison?

Seeing Han Xiao's confused expression, Sylvia explained, "He is Benny Traval, a famous master-level director from the Crimson Dynasty. He wants to get your authorization to shoot a documentary about you."

"…That's novel."

Han Xiao became interested.

In an interstellar society with abundant materials, the influence of the entertainment industry is very large. A well-known interstellar star may be sought after by trillions of people in countless civilizations. Fording was once a regional star.

And Benny Traval, this kind of interstellar director, has extremely high popularity and influence, and enjoys an extraordinary position in the industry. He is a well-known figure in the entire universe.

It's just that the entertainment industry and his own armed warlord giant are people from two different worlds. There is no connection. I don't know why this person had the whim to ask me to make a movie. Is it the effect of the universe legend?

Han Xiao thought for a while and replied, "Okay, make an appointment with him to meet."

"Okay, I will contact him personally." Sylvia nodded.

Han Xiao nodded, glanced at everyone, and seeing that no one spoke, he said, "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, let's dismiss the meeting."

Just then, Hela suddenly remembered something, took out a small box from her arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Han Xiao with two slender white fingers.

Han Xiao looked down and saw that it was a red box with a ribbon tied on it, like a gift. He couldn't help but look up at Hela in confusion.

"What is this…"

"Today is your birthday. This is a birthday gift for you. A talisman. Remember to wear it close to your body." Hela said softly.

Han Xiao was stunned.

It's only February now, my birthday is not today, it's clearly in October… Oh, I understand. This should be the original owner's birthday. When I was on Aquamarine, Germination must have investigated me. Hela probably saw the original owner's birth records.

After figuring this out, Han Xiao swallowed the words that came to his lips, accepted the gift, and smiled, "Thanks, I didn't expect you to remember."

"I remember everything about you."

Hela lowered her eyes. After saying this, without waiting for Han Xiao to reply, she said goodbye and left the room.

The eyes of the surrounding cadres swept back and forth between the two of them, and they all showed meaningful expressions, and they also said goodbye and left.

Only Han Xiao was left in the room. He played with the gift box for a while in a daze before gently opening it, revealing the contents inside.

A small dark gold coin lay quietly in the box, and a thin silver chain ran through the coin, making it a necklace ornament.

Han Xiao picked up the coin and suddenly sensed a special energy on it. It had the aura of Hela's power of the dead and contained the taste of Aurora's life ability.

Han Xiao had a flash of inspiration and opened the panel, taking a look at Hela's character card.

"If I'm not mistaken, this coin is a carrier of some kind of ability, and this ability is probably Hela's newly awakened resurrection skill… No wonder it's called a talisman. Did she give me a resurrection coin?"

The character card did not reflect the limitations and consumption of Hela using this ability, but Han Xiao estimated that Hela could not casually give the opportunity of resurrection to outsiders, and it should consume a lot.

Han Xiao put the talisman around his neck, stood up and walked to the window, staring blankly at the scenery of the Black Star Palace outside the window.

If Hela hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he would not have had this concept at all. Having come to the Star Sea for so many years, this seemed to be the first time someone had celebrated his birthday…

Although the original owner's birthday and his own birthday were not on the same day, Han Xiao still had a sense of inexplicable melancholy and emotion.

Once the memories were opened, they could not be stopped, and the past scenes came one after another, like a lifetime away.

"Birthday, huh…"

A soft sigh echoed in the room.

…

ps: (Originally, I was short of a lot of characters' Stellar Value to hold a birthday event a few days ago. Thank you again for the generosity of Boss Zaisan Xuzhong yesterday, allowing Han Xiao to have a birthday this year. I also thank you all for always giving Han Xiao gifts (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

(There are many bosses who have given rewards recently, but my production capacity is limited. Normally, there are only 4,000 to 5,000 words a day. Even if I use a whip to whip me, I can't write too fast, because our models are different. Some people can easily update more and ensure quality, while others, once they update more, it is difficult to ensure the direction of the plot. I belong to the latter type. The novel has been written to the present, and it is not that I can update more if I want to. If it is at the beginning, there are infinite possibilities and directions, and my own state is good, then I can write faster, but the plot has developed to a certain extent, with too many clues intertwined together, and I have to consider the daily writing rhythm, plus the occasional visit from my aunt, authors of my type have to slow down. Although you brothers often say that I am watering, but each chapter basically has different "points" in it. It's just that the people who get the point are different each time, just like some people like to see data, and some people don't like to see it. Everyone has different tastes, and I can't help it. I can't really just write the outline, can I? I can only say that you brothers should bear with me a little bit. Finally, thank you for your love (๑`▽´๑)۶
