Chapter 151 A Special Super-A Grade

Not long after, a group of Super-As arrived outside the You Neng (Psionic Energy) Restriction Ring, choosing an uninhabited area as the battlefield.

Han Xiao and Yin Ying (Silver Shadow) stepped forward from the crowd, facing each other from a distance in the battlefield. The other Super-As watching the show stayed on the periphery, Jian Zhe · Fu (Sword Saint · Fu) built a spiritual chat group, eating melons on the sidelines.

"Yin Ying actually chose Black Star as his opponent. I wonder how long he can last," Veru shook his head.

Jian Zhe · Fu said lightly, "Even if he beats Kele, his influence would only be second to last. It's better to choose Black Star. As long as he can cause some trouble for him, even if he loses, the effect is better than choosing Kele."

Kele: "..."

Although it's the truth, you won't have any friends if you speak so directly, sister!

Lavenlaude pondered, "Yin Ying seems quite confident, as if he really has a chance. Maybe he has some special abilities."

"I heard he's a martial artist? He looks more like an Esper."

"I checked his past. His speed is especially fast. It is said that he has special flying skills, can continuously accelerate, and even artificially reach the state of intermediate warp speed. Moreover, he seems to have a part of the void bloodline." Maxilol pointed to Yin Ying in the distance, "Also, look at his body surface with microscopic vision. The seemingly smooth silver shell is covered with extremely subtle forbidden spell power circuits. He should have asked the Super-A grade magician from Xing Ling Zhi Hai (Sea of ​​Souls) to bless him."

Hearing this, many Super-As adjusted their vision, entering a microscopic state, and discovered that there were indeed dense energy circuits on Yin Ying's body, like semi-invisible tattoos.

"There are several Super-A grade magicians in Xing Ling Zhi Hai. This kind of unrestrained circuit drawing style should be from the old-age idol group, [Mi Zhu (Secret Master)]. Although this guy is one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the interstellar black market and belongs to the semi-neutral camp, his fees are not cheap. It seems that Yin Ying has spared no expense."

Lavenlaude was unhappy, "What do you mean by old-age idol group? It's called the ancients!"

Jian Zhe · Fu focused on another point, narrowing her eyes, "He has too many portable enchantments on his body. To be able to withstand such a strong load, his body seems to be overly strong."

"Well, that's true." Beoni sighed, "But no matter how strong his body is, can it be as strong as Black Star's?"

"...That's true."

With Han Xiao's example, everyone is now used to all kinds of meat shields.

"Speaking of which, since the battle with the Machinery Country, it has been almost twenty years since Black Star fought against a Super-A grade. At that level, even he cannot maintain his once-horrifying growth rate," Veru shook his head.

Klodi, who rarely spoke, interjected faintly, "Approaching the known limit of individual power, going further would break the limit of the entire explored universe. How many Super-As in history have failed in trying to create a new level? It's not that easy to do."

As everyone chatted, Han Xiao and Yin Ying had already started their stances.

The Sovereign avatar floated in the universe with a small mechanical force. The number was not large, and strands of blue-gold Mechanical Force electricity were wrapped around the black armor.

He, a Mechanic, stood still in place, but Yin Ying on the opposite side took the initiative to distance himself.

This situation was rare. The surrounding Super-As smiled at each other—it is estimated that Black Star is the only Mechanic in the entire universe who can make a martial artist opponent afraid to rush in close.

Yin Ying circled around Han Xiao from afar, looking for flaws and opportunities, but he didn't attack for a long time.

Han Xiao watched him spinning in place, and couldn't help but say, after a long while:

"How long are you going to spin? Come over here!"

Yin Ying didn't answer, and continued to circle, gradually accelerating, his flying speed became faster and faster, his figure gradually blurred, like a silver comet, dragging a series of silver afterimages, like the 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 produced a certain distortion, constantly squeezing the rear, forming a tidal phenomenon, allowing him to slide on the crest of the wave, providing additional acceleration.

At the same time, familiar void energy flowed from Yin Ying's body, proving that the other party also possessed a part of the void genes.

Han Xiao still had a general understanding of Yin Ying's abilities. Among the Super-As, Yin Ying mainly had these well-known characteristics: first, his speed was fast, he could maintain warp jumps for a long time, and at his peak, he could reach high warp speeds.

Second, his body was extremely tough, almost indestructible.

Third, his species talent was rare.

Fourth was the public transportation.

Yin Ying's HP was not high, but his defense was extremely exaggerated. Even Heber could not compare with him. This was related to his attribute as a mutated universe treasure.

Due to various special abilities, although Yin Ying is currently a new Super-A grade, his actual combat power should be above Kele and Beoni, on par with Veru and Heber, slightly weaker than Maxilol, Lavenlaude, and Jian Zhe · Fu, belonging to the middle ranks—the spiritual aspect is also Yin Ying's weakness.

As one of the upper tier of the Empire's Super-A grade combat power, Han Xiao sat firmly on the Diaoyutai (fishing platform), not minding letting Yin Ying display all his methods. After all, the other party was a Super-A grade with a special function, worthy of making friends with, letting the other party show off his style and gain influence in the circle, to help him succeed.

It wasn't that Han Xiao was arrogant, but that he knew himself and his enemy, and had calculated the possibility of battle in his mind time and time again. The conclusion he came to was:

——With his current strength, he was enough to completely control the battle. Dealing with Yin Ying didn't require any fancy operations at all, just F2A (select all and attack) and it would be over.

Flying dragon riding face, can't lose.

No matter how fancy your swordsmanship is, I'll just raise my hand and shoot you down with one shot.

Han Xiao patiently waited for Yin Ying to speed up, only occasionally allowing the mechanical troops to shoot from a distance.

Finally, Yin Ying felt that he had completed his warm-up, suddenly turned his head, and launched a fierce charge, like a ray of light, crossing a large distance in the blink of an eye, rushing towards Han Xiao's mechanical troops.

Combat Intelligence Sparta, with Han Xiao's permission, immediately reacted, and immediately activated the space solidification device and the space-time stabilization anchor.

The stability of the surrounding space suddenly increased. Part of Yin Ying's speed came from the distortion of space. At this time, the speed instantly slowed down a lot, but it was still very fast. Even the Calamity Grade could not see his figure at this time, and could only see a thin silver line.

Relying on his high speed, Yin Ying tangled with the mechanical troops. You Neng (Psionic Energy) cannons often missed, and the silver martial arts fluctuations constantly hit the matrix-style You Neng combined shield unfolded by the mechanical troops, unable to penetrate it.

After probing for a while, Yin Ying turned his head and charged towards the You Neng shield of the mechanical troops, like a silver comet.

Just as he was about to hit, this silver comet suddenly changed, splitting like a cluster warhead, turning into hundreds of tiny silver meteors, instantly dispersing in all directions, quickly bypassing the surface of the You Neng shield, and turning into the formation of the mechanical troops from the side without protection.

Each sub-body was a mass of silver liquid metal-like substance, and their shapes all became smaller versions of Yin Ying, all of which were part of his body.

This was Yin Ying's species talent. The transformation in the star core brought him a mutation. His body could achieve the effect of nano-splitting and change shape, all controlled by himself.

Moreover, the split sub-bodies also had a considerable degree of combat power. Because the total amount of strength remained unchanged, the combat power of the sub-bodies depended on the proportion of energy distributed by Yin Ying and the size of the volume. The void bloodline allowed him to remotely supply energy to the sub-bodies with the help of the void dimension, and the HP of the sub-bodies was determined by the volume ratio.

And Yin Ying's attribute as a universe treasure brought him terrible defense. This was not evenly divided, so even if the combat power of each sub-body was not high, they were almost indestructible, which was his advantage.

Because of this special ability, Yin Ying was considered a rare local tyrant among the bitter martial artists and did not need to do everything himself.

A part of the sub-bodies were traveling through the mechanical troops at high speed, but because the power was scattered, although the attack frequency was fast, they could not destroy the mechanical warriors who had been strengthened for I don't know how many generations and also received Han Xiao's Mechanical Force blessing, and could only continue to leave shallow marks on the outer armor of these warriors.

On the other side, the remaining sub-bodies recombined, turning into Yin Ying, who was a little smaller in size, and went straight to Han Xiao, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The Sovereign avatar didn't move, and a You Lan (blue-violet) arc shot out from his eyes, and [Zhi Gao Xu Ni (Supreme Virtual)] directly hit the soul in one shot!

In the next moment, Yin Ying lost control of his body, had a high-speed accident, and fell on his back!

Along with it, those scattered sub-bodies also lost control and were easily captured by the mechanical troops.

Han Xiao turned his body slightly, Yin Ying rolled and brushed past him. He accurately stretched out his hand, grabbed Yin Ying's ankle, and pulled Yin Ying back.

Yin Ying's weakness was his mental aspect, and [Zhi Gao Xu Ni (Supreme Virtual)] was not only a mental attack but also had the difficulty of cracking virtual technology. With Han Xiao's virtual technology and level suppression, it would take a long time for Yin Ying's consciousness to escape, enough for him to play with Yin Ying in eighteen kinds of poses.

Behind the Sovereign avatar, strands of nano-mechanical tentacles extended, tightly binding Yin Ying in layers, while the tentacles carried electromagnetic, spatial, and other control devices. Round disc-shaped miniature You Neng (Psionic Energy) floating cannons popped out on the avatar's shoulders, hovering around Yin Ying's head.

The mechanical troops in the distance also dispersed and rushed over, all turning their muzzles to aim at the controlled Yin Ying, while releasing a reverse You Neng shield, enclosing Han Xiao and Yin Ying inside. In this way, if Yin Ying wanted to run out, he could only break through the shield, taking away the space for him to accelerate.

At this time, Yin Ying finally broke free from the Supreme Virtual, his spirit was severely damaged, and he entered multiple negative states. As soon as his consciousness returned, he found that he was firmly controlled.

"Do you want to continue?" In the spiritual chat group, Han Xiao said with a smile.

"...This kind of battle can't hurt me." Yin Ying struggled a bit, and found it difficult to break free, so he simply pulled out his head, abandoned most of his body, and used this to break free from control. His head became a small person, standing on the smooth silver cross-section of his neck.

"I know that your body has extraordinary toughness, and my troops may not be able to cause you much damage." Han Xiao nodded and smiled, "However, you can't gain the upper hand here by relying on this alone... Believe me, I have rich experience in this area."

In fact, he was naturally restraining Yin Ying. If the Time-Space Amber was here, it would be easy. Yin Ying's split sub-bodies were very small, which made it convenient for the Time-Space Amber to take shape, and it could easily seal the sub-bodies, constantly weakening Yin Ying. However, this was only a Sovereign avatar, and the Time-Space Amber was at the main body.

Yin Ying pondered for a while, withdrew his arrogance, and nodded, "You won."

He originally wanted to catch Han Xiao off guard with his high speed, sub-body splitting, and tough body, mainly just to gain the upper hand for a while. He didn't have the confidence to defeat Black Star, even if it was a Sovereign avatar.

But the offensive he had been brewing for a long time was easily resolved by Han Xiao, and he directly fell into the enemy's control. This made him clearly feel the crushing gap in strength, and the battle situation was completely in Black Star's control.

With most of his body falling into Han Xiao's hands, it would be even more embarrassing to continue fighting. Moreover, Black Star was kind enough to release water and let him show his own combat power. Yin Ying was grateful in his heart and stopped there, not wanting to fight to the death. Although he challenged the strong, he was not looking for abuse.

Hearing this, Han Xiao released the restraints and let Yin Ying return to his original state, and said with a smile, "You owe me a request now."

"What do you want me to do?" Yin Ying asked.

"Well, let's keep it for now, and I'll look for you when I think of it later." Han Xiao thought for a while, and didn't immediately bring it up.

He wanted to study Yin Ying's body and find out the hidden attributes of the universe treasure. However, the relationship between the two was not yet at this point, and people may not be willing to let him study their bodies - this was very risky for Super-A grades.

So it was better to do more PY (play young, slang for building relationships) before making this request. After all, this was not a one-shot deal, and the relationship still had to be good, so that Yin Ying would be willing to let him use it often in the future.

In his previous life, Carlo was a close friend of Yin Ying, so he was able to enjoy so many free private services.

Speaking of which, Carlo should have joined the Empire's military now, right? It's still early for him to take shape. I don't know if his experience has changed under my intervention...

"Okay, I'll remember it," Yin Ying nodded.

"You can come to Broken Starlink or Glittering World to find me when you have time. You can also ask me for help if you encounter any problems," Han Xiao laughed.

Yin Ying nodded silently. Black Star's friendliness made him quite comfortable, and he behaved like an elder brother, just short of saying "I'll cover you."

He felt a little emotional in his heart:

——Other Super-A grades made things difficult for newcomers, but Black Star was different. This was the demeanor that the future pillar of the Empire should have.

Seeing that the battle was over, the surrounding Super-As who were watching the battle surrounded him.

This result was not beyond everyone's expectations, but Black Star's steady performance still amazed many people. Twenty years later, Black Star's feeling to everyone was no longer taking the unorthodox approach, but a dignified and upright crushing, and he was still at ease.

Although they didn't fight, everyone looked at the abilities Yin Ying showed and had a number in their hearts, secretly judging what would happen if they fought him. The conclusion was that although Yin Ying was a newcomer, his combat power was very good. Kele and Beoni were not confident that they could win.

Especially Kele, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Yin Ying hadn't agreed to his invitation to spar, otherwise he would have really lost face.

But Black Star was so relaxed against such a Yin Ying. The level was really different.

Except for Klodi, the Super-A grades present were even more in awe of Han Xiao.

Back on the spaceship, setting off to return to Crimson Ring Star, Han Xiao exchanged feelings with Yin Ying while opening the panel and glanced at Yin Ying's Super-A grade challenge task, which was already displayed as "Completed".

He didn't immediately settle it. He was prepared to return to his main body in consciousness and touch Fording to his heart's content before settling the reward - this important step could not be ignored.

...

Back on Crimson Ring Star, after exchanging communication methods, Yin Ying bid farewell to everyone and went to his residence, preparing to rest for a while.

Han Xiao was about to lift the Sovereign avatar when an Empire staff member came up to him.

"Your Excellency Black Star, Mr. Becrodi invites you to meet."

"Becrodi?" Han Xiao knew that this was an important leader of the Empire's hardliners, and he was not on the same line as himself, and there were not many interactions. He couldn't help but be a little curious, "What does he want from me?"

"He wants to talk to you about the Evolution Cube."

Han Xiao's heart moved. In the past ten years, because of the pressure from Guanghui (Shining) and Xuling (Void Spirit), some of the Empire's higher-ups still insisted on the ownership of the Evolution Cube. Becrodi seemed to be a loyal supporter, and he had heard about this.

What does he want to talk to me about?

Han Xiao was a little curious and nodded, "Okay, lead the way."

"Please come with me."

The Empire staff member led the way, and the two came to a government affairs building all the way, passed through layers of restrictions, and came to a private conference room.

As soon as Han Xiao entered the door, he saw an old but majestic Empire officer sitting in the main seat, his face tight, his wrinkles deep, his nose a little big, his thin lips pursed tightly, his eye sockets deep, looking like a very tough person.

"Hello Black Star, I am Becrodi. This is not the first time we have met." Becrodi squeezed out a smile.

"But this is the first time we have met in private," Han Xiao sat down at the other end of the table and replied, shaking his head.

He had only seen this person at the meeting of the entire Empire's higher-ups before, and he had not communicated much.

"I'm not a person who likes to talk nonsense, so I'll get straight to the point." Becrodi supported the table with both hands, sat upright, and said in a deep voice, "The Empire wants to exchange some things for the Evolution Cube, and you can set the conditions as you like."

Want to exchange for my Evolution Cube? Han Xiao's eyes moved.

In fact, this sign had been there for a long time, and they had done a lot of small tricks, but it was not until today that the Empire's higher-ups really made it public to him.

"This isn't just your own idea, is it?" Han Xiao said with a half-smile.

"That's right. I hope you understand that this is not a personal grudge. We wouldn't have done this before. It's fine to keep the Evolution Cube with you, but the Yishen (Heretic God) legacy has brought the Evolver Totem and more technologies of the Evolver civilization. The Evolution Cube has become the core of these technologies. The significance has changed. The Empire hopes to control this strategic universe treasure, but it has been delayed until now because of His Excellency the President's support for you."

Han Xiao nodded. He could understand this point. As a civilization power, there were many concerns. Only by holding such strategically significant things in their hands could they be at ease. Interest was one aspect, and the other aspect was that a qualified civilization could never completely place its hopes on individuals and allies.

Not to mention the Crimson Empire, whether it was in Guanghui (Shining) or Xuling (Void Spirit), as long as the Evolver Totem and a series of supporting technologies appeared, they would make the same choice, or even worse.

If he was a Super-A grade directly under a high-level civilization, they might have directly asked him to hand it over. How could they let him set the conditions as he pleased?

He was an external ally, and the Empire could not force him to transfer his private property to their public property, otherwise, it would have a very bad impact. That was why they chose the method of exchanging.

For high-level civilizations, Super-A grades were just tools used for fighting, and the civilization itself was the protagonist of the universe.

However, for Super-A grades, there were not many people who sincerely worked for the civilization, but they were just taking what they needed and using each other.

"Let me set the conditions as I like. It's really quite generous..." Han Xiao smiled. "There must be an upper limit, right? Why don't you offer your price?"

"Okay." Becrodi nodded. "The Empire is willing to exchange universe treasures for your Evolution Cube."

Han Xiao shook his head, "You just said that the significance of the Evolution Cube is different. One for one, don't you think I'm at a loss?"

"You misunderstood. It's not one for one."

Becrodi smiled faintly and said slowly:

"Three universe treasures in exchange for one Evolution Cube! This is the Empire's sincerity. What do you think?"
