Chapter 1 The Energy Level Soars

At this moment, Han Xiao's energy level soared, and the firepower of the mechanical army skyrocketed. Heber was caught off guard and blasted away by a series of particle cannons.

Heber's rising momentum was interrupted, and this scene made countless spectators cheer up.

"Black Star actually hides this kind of power..." Sisko's eyes changed slightly.

The energy level released by Han Xiao at this time surprised him. He was sure that Black Star did not have such combat power when they fought more than a month ago.

Is this his trump card?

Ames couldn't help but glance at Han Xiao, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.

Seeing that their boss was knocked out of a gap in their position, Jod's face changed, and the excitement of the War Realm cadres seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water, and they suddenly died down.

Although Heber only suffered a small loss, his opponent was only a newly promoted Beyond Grade A. The War Realm cadres originally thought that Overlord would overwhelmingly dominate and beat Black Star into a mess, but the current situation surprised everyone.

The mechanical army took advantage of the situation to pursue. At this time, Heber stabilized his figure, his face was solemn. He was a little annoyed that he had suffered a small loss without preparation.

He punched out, spewing out a thick martial arts undulation, and a genuine Star Shattering Fist greeted the mechanical army.

The mechanical soldiers specializing in defense changed from the rear to the front, raised their hands to release psionic energy, and merged a huge psionic shield to block in front of the army.

The Star Shattering Fist hit the psionic shield, and the dazzling crimson-gold light expanded rapidly, like a supernova explosion. Everyone was dazzled by the strong light, and their vision was blank.

The mechanical army was blocked by the Star Shattering Fist. Heber took the opportunity to rush out, making an arc to get away from the War Realm's position. Han Xiao followed closely, controlling the mechanical army to entangle him again.

The mechanical army, enhanced by the Perfect Mechanical Sense, had a huge increase in both lethality and defense. They fought fiercely with Heber, and millions of mechanical soldiers besieged one person. The light of psionic energy flashed in the battlefield again and again.

Heber suddenly slowed down, enduring the indiscriminate bombardment, and once again unleashed a wave of [Qi Inhibition] at Han Xiao.

However, this time Han Xiao had experience. He used the Chaotic Physique to teleport through the void to escape control, which surprised Heber. He thought Han Xiao's void shuttle was still cooling down.

"The same trick doesn't work on me."

Han Xiao smiled secretly.

Heber frowned, knowing that his judgment was wrong. This control skill had been cracked. He could only patiently deal with the mechanical army while thinking of other ways.

He punched and kicked, and waves of undulations shot out in all directions. The mechanical soldiers were severely damaged, and even killed instantly.

Heber was not unscathed. The mountain-like body gradually showed scars, with cuts from sharp blades and necrotic burns from particle cannon fire.

He used his energy to increase cell activity, and the old wounds continued to heal, but new wounds were constantly appearing. The mechanical soldiers who were smashed by him were repaired by Han Xiao again and again with [Scrap Modification] and [Advanced Mechanical Creation].

"Perfect Mechanical Sense is really a divine skill..." Feeling the mechanical force flowing in his body, Han Xiao felt excited.

The total bonus of 1.4 times to Mechanical Affinity was a template-level perverted ability. The damage caused by the mechanical army to Heber had obviously increased by a level. The hard power gap between himself and Overlord was largely compensated by Perfect Mechanical Sense.

It was a pity that this template specialization came from Leonard's character card, and was not his own ability. There were a total of three uses, and this was the second time.

After fighting for a while, Heber's face became more and more solemn.

He originally thought that even if the newly promoted Beyond Grade A was talented, the combat ceiling would not be too outrageous. However, Han Xiao's combat power at this time broke this principle. His strength suddenly soared, and the pressure brought by the mechanical army increased sharply.

The situation suddenly became evenly matched. Heber's intention to quickly resolve the battle was directly strangled, and he was forced into a protracted battle of dismantling machinery by hand, competing for attrition.

Attrition warfare was the strength of a legion mechanic. Heber knew that the battle had been dragged into Black Star's rhythm. If this continued, the situation would be unfavorable to him.

What he wanted was to establish his prestige, but if he was beaten to a draw by Black Star, the situation would be reversed.

At that time, not only would he fail to achieve the goal of establishing prestige, but he would also lose his reputation and be regarded as a stepping stone, instead fulfilling Black Star's reputation—Black Star was a newly promoted Beyond Grade A, lacking foundation. Drawing with an old-timer with a fierce reputation like himself was definitely a positive achievement.

It was equivalent to trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice.

Moreover, he was the one who took the initiative to challenge. If he failed to do anything to Black Star and left in disgrace in the end, he would definitely be extremely embarrassed.

Close combat was the trump card of martial artists. Although Heber also had long-range killing moves such as the Star Shattering Fist, Beyond Grade A mechanics had too many ways to resist long-range attacks. The only way to severely damage Black Star was to give Black Star a set of bursts in close combat.

Heber's close-range output was extremely terrifying. Looking at all the Beyond Grade As in the entire Star Sea, no one could be unscathed after suffering a close-range burst from a Beyond Grade A martial artist. Even Heber himself did not dare to take a set of close-range combos from a martial artist of the same level.

He did have a trick that could get close instantly, but this trick could only be used once every long time. Black Star had so many dodge and control-removing skills that he could easily open the distance again, making him feel quite棘手 (jí shǒu - troublesome).

"Slippery guy." Heber frowned. The timing for getting close was fleeting, and he had to wait for an opportunity...

...

Heber and the mechanical army fought fiercely. The fierce battle between the two sides repeatedly illuminated the sight of the spectators. Almost all the spectators' ship radars were constantly repeating alarms.

"High-energy reaction detected! Please evacuate immediately! Detected..."

It was only because Han Xiao and Heber were fighting in the universe. If the battlefield was replaced by a planet, it would have been blown up by the two of them long ago.

Some of the particle cannons that were fired into the air continued to shoot around. The audience in the front row hurriedly retreated to avoid the aftermath, leaving more space for the two to fight.

"The situation seems to be tied?"

"Black Star is actually evenly matched with Overlord. I thought he would suffer."

"Now Overlord seems to be passive."

Countless spectators were amazed, and their evaluation of Black Star in their minds was constantly refreshed.

Seeing Han Xiao stabilize his position, the Black Star Army players cheered up.

"Black Star uses the kite tactic to control the situation, and the only way for Overlord to break the situation is to get close, but he seems unable to cross the strategic depth of the mechanical troops." In the legion warship, Hao Tian analyzed the situation in a deep voice. As a professional player, his level was not high, but it did not hinder his pk vision.

Kuang Dao pondered: "The martial artist profession is good at close-range burst. As long as the legion commander keeps the kite tactic, he can be invincible... provided that the mechanical army can withstand the attrition."

"That's what I think." Rou Bao nodded repeatedly.

But at this moment, an accident happened in the battle situation, and Hao Tian, Kuang Dao and others' expressions changed drastically.

"Not good!"

...

A wave of fire from the mechanical army exploded a dazzling energy cluster, affecting everyone's vision.

At this moment, Heber suddenly disappeared without a trace from the heavy encirclement of the mechanical troops.

In the next instant, he appeared behind Han Xiao, closing in instantly.

"Sure enough." Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He had expected this and knew that Heber definitely had a body-shifting martial arts skill. He had been prepared for it, but he had to admit that Heber's timing was good.

Han Xiao's thoughts moved, and he immediately wanted to teleport through the void to dodge, but at this moment, all the skills on the panel turned gray.

[Heber uses racial talent [Giant's Gaze] on you!]

[You have entered the [Forced Silence] state, all skills are frozen, lasting 0.3 seconds!]

Han Xiao's pupils shrank. He could not crack the forced silence skill. Heber had been holding back until now to use it, catching him off guard.

This silence interrupted his void teleport, leaving him in place.

Heber's expression was indifferent. He pierced through the psionic shield with a palm and slapped it on the War Tiger mech, and a wave of shock force poured into Han Xiao's body.

[Heber uses skill [Force Fist Style - Molecular Dissipation] on you!]

[Performing judgment... Judgment failed, your strength attribute is more than 1000 points lower than the opponent]

[You have entered the [Out of Control] state, unable to control your body, lasting 0.8 seconds]

"This is bad." Han Xiao secretly thought it was terrible.

He had been avoiding being approached by martial artists for close-range combos, but Heber's methods were not easy to resolve, and now he was in a passive position.

In the next moment, crimson-gold fists rained down like a storm, hitting him again and again. The fist speed was so fast that it brought up countless afterimages. The surface of the mech left potholes, and the air inside the mech leaked out.

Boom boom boom!

The eardrums vibrated, and the muffled sound echoed in the body.

Each of Heber's strikes was a different martial arts skill. Once he was approached and successfully used the first control skill, he could use continuous control skills. Due to the double crush of strength and agility attributes, the control skills could generally be judged successfully.

The terrifying combo damage caused the War Tiger's mech value and his own health to plummet at a rate like water leakage.

A cold killing intent flashed in Heber's eyes. Finally, he had caught the opportunity, and he unhesitatingly used all his strength, preparing to severely injure or even directly solve Han Xiao!

...

The development of the battle situation made countless people's faces change drastically.

"Black Star is in danger..." Austin murmured.

Being successfully controlled by Heber in close combat was enough to threaten the life of a Beyond Grade A.

Beyond Grade A martial artists had strong explosive power, and as long as the three-dimensional attributes were crushed, they could maintain combos. If they could not get out of control, they might even be killed by a combo.

Ames couldn't help but look over.

"Opportunity!"

At this moment, Sisko moved suddenly, rushing into the battlefield at high speed, heading straight for Han Xiao.

Ames' attention was drawn away, and she was a step slower. Seeing this, anger appeared in her eyes.

She was about to raise her hand to release a force field to pull Sisko back when suddenly, the Void Spirit Sect fleet opened fire, and high-concentration annihilation rays attacked Ames.

Ames did not expect the fleet to suddenly attack, and hurriedly turned her head and set up a force field defense in front of her to block the fleet's salvo.

With such a distraction, Sisko took the opportunity to approach Han Xiao and Heber.

"Black Star is being controlled by Overlord, now is a good time to snatch the Evolution Cube!"

The situation suddenly changed, stunning everyone. This scene fell into everyone's eyes, and it was clear that the Void Spirit Sect was breaking the rules, using the fleet to contain Ames, while Sisko suddenly launched an attack, colluding with Heber, two Beyond Grade As besieging Black Star alone!

As if in an instant, Black Star was in a desperate situation!

"Teacher!" "Black Star!" "Legion Commander!"

Sylvia, Melos and other legion cadres were shocked!
