Chapter 141 Professional League Heats Up

More than half a month flew by in a flash. With the Battle of Milton settled, the heat of the professional league, still in its preparation period, rapidly climbed. Most players preferred to focus on new events, and analysis threads on the strengths of professional players from various clubs began to flood the forums. The various teams also started their publicity and mobilization efforts.

However, Han Xiao paid no attention to all this. As soon as he got his hands on the Empire's golden blueprint, he dumped all his affairs on Sylvia and concentrated on his mechanical work.

Since it was the first time crafting this blueprint, the great technician Han tinkered for half a month. After experiencing multiple failures and accumulating a lot of proficiency, he finally created a golden quality product, finally getting 1 point of Divine Transformation.

"Finally got it done!"

In the modification room, joy was written all over Han Xiao's face. He casually threw the newly forged golden equipment aside, impatiently opened the panel, and used his Divine Transformation point.

[Divine Transformation · Machinery has reached the tenth stage]

[Your life level undergoes an unknown change]

[You gain a new understanding of machinery, exclusive specialization formation chance +15%, [All Things Simulation] skill sublimates]

[You sense a portion of the authority of the transformation path - [Unknown Specialization]]

[You have obtained [First Sanctum] Skill Fragment x1]

"Well, as I guessed, five stages make up a level." Han Xiao nodded to himself.

The same prompt had appeared when Divine Transformation reached the fifth level, and this time he got another [First Sanctum] fragment.

He glanced at the effect of the tenth stage, from [Apostle Mechanic] to [God-Throne Mechanic] stage: Machinery skill level +3, an additional total affinity bonus factor of 1.2x, ability strength +40%, attack power bonus factor of 1.3x, shield strength bonus factor of 1.3x, machinery creation core power +60%, output power +30%... basically a replica of the fifth stage, but with a slight increase in magnitude.

"Like the fifth stage, this wave is also a boost to combat power, not bad, not bad... Huh, what's this?"

Han Xiao scanned it twice, then suddenly exclaimed, noticing that the progress after the ability name had changed. Originally it should have been [10/?], but now it had become [10/15].

"The question mark has changed... So the highest level of Divine Transformation is fifteen? It seems that you can only see this limit when you reach a certain level."

He carefully browsed through it again, and found that the changes were not just this. The transformation points required from the tenth level to the eleventh level suddenly rose to 6 points, and an unexpected prompt popped up at the same time.

[Your [Divine Transformation · Machinery] has reached the tenth stage]

[You have triggered the transformation requirements. For each requirement you complete, you can reduce the cost of 1 Divine Transformation point]

[1. Reach level 345]

[2. Comprehend an exclusive specialization]

[3. Independently develop a golden blueprint]

"The transformation above the tenth level not only requires points, but also hard conditions? It's a bit like an advancement task. I wonder if the settlement card will work." Han Xiao's mind flickered.

Although he was a little surprised by the changes in Divine Transformation, he didn't have any plans to experiment at the moment. He turned and asked the mechanical assistant to clean up the workshop, and then directly used the Emperor's Teleport to a barren planet where he had planted a beacon long ago.

Whoosh!

The scene in front of him changed, and he was already in a desolate underground canyon. Looking up, the cliffs stretched all the way, forming a line of sky-like field of vision.

This was a planet located in the hinterland of the Black Star Army's territory. He chose to advance here because he didn't want to cause too much commotion.

Han Xiao put away the mechanical troop's "Throne" placed here, and then took out the Evolution Cube and started it.

Buzzing--

Dark evolution energy escaped, and Han Xiao guided it into his body. A tidal wave of pain suddenly erupted, and a black cocoon formed outside his body.

On the panel, prompts for the Evolution Cube taking effect scrolled like a waterfall. Han Xiao silently endured the pain brought by the evolution, and looked at the prompts.

[You have used the Evolution Cube (Golden Quality)!]

[You have obtained the permanent special amplification - [Gene Optimization · Evolution Cube]!]

[Species being detected... Detection complete, your current species is: [Black Star Race]]

[Your gene structure is being optimized...]

[First optimization successful, your potential aptitude has increased... Detected that you have triggered this layer of optimization before, you have obtained attribute completion: Strength +0, Agility +0, Endurance +1, Intelligence +2, Mystery +0, Charm +0, Stamina +3]

[Your Stamina level is higher than Lv0, second optimization judgment successful, your potential aptitude has increased... Detected that you have triggered this layer of optimization before, you have obtained attribute completion: Strength +1, Agility +1, Endurance +2, Intelligence +3, Mystery +0, Charm +0, Stamina +4]

……

[Your Stamina level is higher than Lv24, twenty-sixth optimization judgment successful, your potential aptitude has increased, you have obtained attribute completion: Strength +85, Agility +90, Endurance +113, Intelligence +148, Mystery +76, Charm +60, Stamina +560]

During this period, he took time to contact the Dragon Emperor's Star Energy Extraction Method, and had reached the standard of the twenty-fourth level of Stamina Realm the day before yesterday, raising it by one level.

When he used the Evolution Cube for the first time, his Stamina level was only Lv14. The gene optimization from the 1st level to the 16th level had been triggered before, and the effect of repeated use was far inferior to before. However, the gene optimization from the 17th level to the 26th level was triggered for the first time, and the effect was normal.

In total, Strength and Agility had increased by about 700, Endurance had increased by almost 900, and Intelligence had the largest increase, rising by more than 1100. Mystery and Charm were around 500, providing a total of about 4500 attribute points, while Stamina had increased by about 4000.

"The effect is not bad, the increase is greater than when I used it for the first time, mainly because the higher the level, the more bonuses there are."

Han Xiao looked at the prompts behind, and suddenly froze slightly.

[You have obtained 26 layers of gene optimization, experience fee required for upgrading +40%, lasts for 26 months]

[You meet special conditions: Possess an exclusive race talent, and have obtained more than twenty layers of gene optimization]

[You have triggered a special effect]

[In the next race sublimation, your attribute completion effect +30%, and the exclusive race talent effect will be additionally enhanced]

[Gene optimization ends]

With a snap, the black cocoon shattered, and the evolution energy automatically returned to the Evolution Cube.

The pain brought by gene optimization slowly faded. Han Xiao's nerves were now extremely tough, and this bit of pain couldn't even distract him. He looked at the prompts on the panel, and couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face.

He thought that the Evolution Cube only had an extra ten layers of bonuses when it was used for the first time. The extra effect of the twentieth layer was something he hadn't expected. No player in his previous life had ever triggered it, and no one had such a high Stamina Realm.

"Last time it provided an extra chance for race sublimation, this time it increases the attribute completion during sublimation, wonderful."

Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

When he sublimated at level 300, there were already evolution options such as Void Emissary, which meant that this level 340 sublimation would touch the peak of the Void route, and there was an 80% chance that an evolutionary direction to unlock the gene limiter would appear!

And the race sublimation of unlocking the gene limiter had attribute completion far higher than ordinary evolution, so he was quite surprised.

"Good things come in pairs! It's worth it that I spent time with Fording whenever I had free time!"

Han Xiao was very excited.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down his emotions, put away the Evolution Cube, and his face became serious.

He looked at the level 340 advancement task which displayed "Completed", and solemnly chose to settle it.

Boom!

The earth shook!

Surging mechanical force exploded, soaring into the sky!

[Level 340 advancement task has been completed!]

[Advancement successful!]

[Base Endurance bonus +120! 1 Endurance = 690 health points = 700 stamina points]

[On the road to evolution, you have taken another step forward]

[Detected that your race is: [Black Star Race] (exclusive race, cannot be changed)]

[Randomly drawing five compatible evolution directions... drawing... drawing complete!]

[Please choose two from the following five races, and obtain a talent from each]

[1. [Saint · Carmel Race]]

[2. [Void God (Humanoid)]]

[3. [Inner Star Entity]]

[4. [Void Ancestor · New (Humanoid)]]

[5. [Void Realm Bug]]

"What are these two?"

Han Xiao endured the dramatic changes in his body, and looked puzzled.

Among the five options, he had never heard of the names [Saint · Carmel Race] and [Inner Star Entity]. He checked the database, but there was no record of them either.

"At the current level of evolution, I've finally encountered new things that I haven't seen before."

Han Xiao was a little curious, but he had already gone so far down the Void route, so naturally he had no intention of changing it. He didn't know what abilities these two options had, and he didn't plan to take the risk.

As for the Void Realm Bug, he knew that it was a symbiotic life form born in the Void Dimension, an important link in the natural cycle system of the dimension. It usually fed on Void Energy and spatial turbulence, forming solidified excrement, which was one of the sources of matter in the Void Dimension.

The Void God and the Void New Ancestor were the peaks of the Void evolution route, and both had the effect of unlocking the gene limiter. Han Xiao didn't hesitate and directly chose these two races, and picked a talent from each.

[You have obtained the new talent [Gene Limiter Unlocked]!]

[You have obtained the new talent [Void Authority]]

[[Gene Limiter Unlocked]: Your physical strength can break through species limitations, greatly liberate potential, gain huge attribute completion, and have a chance to increase related attributes when performing daily activities]

[[Void Authority]: You can control the Void Dimension to a certain extent (including but not limited to: borrowing Void Energy to strengthen yourself, rapidly absorbing the Void Dimension, converting Void Energy into Stamina, summoning the Void Dimension to descend...)]

"Void Authority... Ksyuye definitely has this ability, otherwise his Stamina recovery speed wouldn't be so terrifying..."

Han Xiao nodded secretly. This ability was the most valuable talent in it, equivalent to obtaining a portion of the operating permissions of the Void Dimension.

He looked down. After choosing the evolution, the Black Star Race's talent was also enhanced.

[Your Black Star Race exclusive talent [Mechanical Genius] effect has been improved]

[[Mechanical Genius]: Total Mechanical Affinity 1.28x becomes 1.38x, Mechanical Creation Performance Bonus 44% rises to 54%, the effect of all Mechanical skills level +1 remains unchanged]

[Prompt! [Gene Optimization · Evolution Cube] effect is triggered!]

[Your Black Star Race exclusive talent [Mechanical Genius] effect has been improved]

[[Mechanical Genius]: Total Mechanical Affinity 1.38x becomes 1.48x, Mechanical Creation Performance Bonus 54% rises to 64%, all Mechanical skills level +2]

[Life level sublimation, molecular structure perfected, organ structure strengthened, metabolism changed...]

[The potential of the Black Star Race has been improved, you have obtained attribute completion: Strength +410, Agility +384, Endurance +561, Intelligence +901, Mystery +659, Charm +347, Stamina +10000, Stamina Realm bonus attributes changed]

[[Gene Limiter Unlocked] takes effect, according to your current life level, race potential, and current attributes, you have obtained additional attribute completion: Strength +1876, Agility +1670, Endurance +2348, Intelligence +3971, Mystery +1350, Charm +966, Stamina +23400]

[Prompt! [Gene Optimization · Evolution Cube] effect is triggered!]

[Your attribute completion effect is increased by 30%, Strength +685, Agility +616, Endurance +872, Intelligence +1491, Mystery +602, Charm +393, Stamina +10020]

"Damn, so awesome?!"

Han Xiao's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but blurt out his hometown dialect.

This time, the attribute completion was the largest wave he had ever had. Counting the bonus from the Evolution Cube, the total attribute points provided by this wave seemed to be around 20,000!

At this moment, the energy constantly erupting in his body became more and more unstable. Han Xiao's whole person exuded a dazzling light, as if he had turned into a star core.

The surging energy rampaged in his body, as if looking for an exit, unable to be contained.

The next moment, his body shook violently, and energy shot out.

Boom!!

With Han Xiao's body as the center point, the manic energy suddenly swept out.

The earth instantly shattered and melted, turning into an ocean of scarlet magma.

This barren planet was like a black egg, and in the next second it exploded, and a crimson-gold sun broke out of its shell!

At this moment, Han Xiao had only one thought in his mind:

"Luckily I didn't advance in the main base, otherwise my home would be gone..."
