Chapter 397 Hela's Lucky Encounter

With a flash of light, Han Xiao arrived in the Underworld dimension. As soon as he entered, he saw Hela beating Aurora.

In the dark sky, two huge energy clusters, one red and one gold, were closely connected, like two conjoined suns. The scarlet energy of the dead relentlessly pressed forward, constantly squeezing the space of life energy, like a bully tormenting a shrinking maiden.

In the center of the energy cluster of the dead floated a graceful figure. Hela's red hair danced wildly as the energy surged, her expression calm and effortless.

On the other side, within the golden light cluster, Aurora's golden hair flew wildly as she clenched her fists and held them in front of her. Her cheeks were puffed out, her face flushed red, and she was doing her best to pump out life energy, struggling to resist Hela's pressure.

"Oh, the older sister is bullying the younger sister. I can't pretend I didn't see this. Do you need help? I can help you bully her back."

Han Xiao glanced at them, his brow slightly raised, and called out to Aurora.

Hela turned her head and glanced at him, paused, and then suddenly withdrew the released energy of the dead.

The scarlet sun in the sky rapidly shrunk in a vortex shape until it disappeared, returning entirely to her body.

Aurora on the other side suddenly lost the pressure. It was as if one of two people pushing against each other had suddenly let go. The life energy, no longer opposed, sprayed out involuntarily, and a golden tsunami was set off in the air.

She hurriedly restrained the energy, slowly guiding it back into her body. The golden sun quickly disappeared, leaving only Aurora panting rapidly in mid-air, looking as if she was about to collapse from exhaustion.

Hela frowned, her sharp eyes fixed on Aurora, and said in a deep voice, "Your control is still too poor. Rest for a while and continue practicing."

Saying that, Hela turned to look at Han Xiao and explained indifferently:

"We're not just playing around. The extreme pressure course can accelerate her life energy growth and expand her upper limit, which helps to improve her strength. This is one of the special trainings I've designed for her."

Han Xiao shrugged. He knew it was training, just making a joke.

At this time, Aurora also returned to her petite figure and flew in front of the two. The redness on her face from exerting too much force had not yet faded, looking a little cute and a little embarrassed, she explained:

"The last battle was a failure because of my lack of strength. I feel that I can no longer lazily wait for my life energy to rise automatically. The speed is too slow, so I specifically asked my sister for special training, to improve as much as possible."

"Not bad, very hardworking."

Han Xiao smiled and praised her, raised his hand and rubbed Aurora's little head. Her smooth long hair slid through his fingers, feeling very silky.

Aurora was quite pleased, and even tilted her head slightly, actively moving closer to Han Xiao's palm.

At this moment, Hela floated over expressionlessly, slapped Han Xiao's hand away, and said, "What did you come to me for? If there's nothing else, leave first. The special training isn't over yet, don't disturb us."

Han Xiao rubbed the back of his hand, which had been slapped red, the mark quickly dissipating, and smiled: "I'm here to tell you good news, Voding has become a Super A Grade."

Hela's eyes flickered, but she wasn't too surprised, and nodded calmly.

"It's indeed a good thing. Congratulate him for me, but for him, entering this level is only a matter of time."

"In addition to that, there's another surprise for you. Voding has found the legendary Soul Reversion, the final destination of remnant souls. He knows that your ability can devour souls to enhance yourself, so he asked me to ask if you're interested in taking a look?"

Hearing this, Hela's face changed, her eyes widened slightly, and finally showed some emotional reaction.

She also knew the legend of the final destination of remnant souls. The power of the dead used souls as nourishment. She also yearned for this legendary place, but this was just a guess. There had been no eyewitness reports of the final destination of remnant souls in history. If what Black Star said was true, then Voding should be the first discoverer.

"Of course I'm interested! When are we going?!"

Almost without hesitation, Hela blurted out, instantly throwing Aurora's special training to the back of her mind.

"Let's go now, Voding is already waiting for you at the training base."

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up!"

Hela didn't say a word, actively took out a set of Emperor's Suit and quickly put it on, signaling Han Xiao to quickly activate his machinery.

Han Xiao chuckled, also changed into a set of Emperor's Suit, and activated his machinery.

With a flash of lightning, the figures of the two had disappeared without a trace.

...

More than ten minutes later, Voding brought Han Xiao and Hela directly to the final destination of remnant souls.

Looking at the inexhaustible soul remnants here, Hela rarely revealed a shocked and delighted expression. For a moment, she forgot to speak, staring blankly at the huge soul nebula vortex in a daze.

"How is this place, is it helpful to you?" Voding asked from the side.

Hela came back to her senses, nodded decisively, her tone revealing an uncontrollable excitement:

"These soul remnants are of great benefit to me. My intuition tells me that this is the best place for me to cultivate!"

"It's good if it's useful. Anyway, there's no one here, you can stay as long as you want." Voding smiled.

"Thanks."

Hela patted Voding's shoulder vigorously, and habitually rubbed him twice like Han Xiao, her eyes always staring straight at the immeasurable number of soul remnants, her beautiful eyes revealing a fiery heat.

At this moment, she made a decision without saying a word.

——Before the World Tree invades the homeland, I'll live here, and no one can pull me away!

Hela became excited, but in addition to being happy, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded in her brain:

"Sis... what about my special training?"

Uh, I knew I forgot something...

Hela's expression froze, coughed, and sent a telepathic message back:

"Ahem, things have changed, I won't be back for a while, you can practice on your own first."

This tone was somewhat like a parent having to coax a child when they were busy with serious matters, revealing a feeling of "go play by yourself."

"Hmph! I'll practice on my own then!"

Aurora angrily cut off the telepathic communication.

I've been abandoned?

You said you'd help me cultivate, but you slipped away yourself, stinky sister, I'm ignoring you!

Hela didn't care that the mental message was cut off by the other party. She couldn't wait to flash out of the spaceship, her body floating in the external space.

Whoosh!

The power of the dead gushed out, forming a scarlet tornado, engulfing the surrounding soul remnants, instantly crushing and decomposing them, turning them into pure soul energy to be swallowed into the power of the dead, strengthening her own ability.

Han Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.

'With such an opportunity, Hela is also on the fast track to upgrading. I estimate that in ten years... no, it shouldn't take ten years. A new peak Super A Grade will be born. When she reaches this level, her combat power will be greatly enhanced. With her ability, as long as her hard power grows, resisting two or three World Tree's peak Super A Grades shouldn't be a problem.'

He stroked his chin while watching this scene, nodding secretly, placing high hopes on Hela.

...

Hela and Voding both stayed in the final destination of remnant souls to cultivate separately, while Han Xiao returned to the training base to continue training everyone according to the original plan, and studied the sanctuary's secrets on his own, unable to extricate himself from learning.

Voding returned every few days to give the trainees at the training base an inspirational buff.

Everyone was immersed in training every day, and their sense of time became dull. In a blink of an eye, more than half a year passed in enthusiastic training.

The frontline war was still going on fiercely. The World Tree army was advancing unswervingly under the repeated harassment of the three major civilizations' suicide squads.

The forum had been flooded with related information for the past six months, and countless players were enthusiastically exchanging various combat intelligence.

The Super A Grades, including Han Xiao, were training in the rear, withdrawing from the frontline war, and seizing the time to improve their strength in the calm before the storm. Because they were not in the players' sights, the Super A Grades had nothing to talk about in the past six months, and temporarily became low-key.

The intensity of the war meant frequent combat missions. Many players who acted as suicide squads on the front line made a lot of money. Batch after batch of people reached the version's upper limit of level 180. Some of the excess experience was used to upgrade skills, and some flowed into Han Xiao's hands through consumption in the Black Star Army.

Thanks to the high returns of the suicide squad missions, the players' speed of earning experience accelerated, which also indirectly shortened the time for Han Xiao to collect experience.

In less than a year, Han Xiao had roughly collected enough experience to directly reach level 360, which was more efficient than expected.

After many years, he finally had another opportunity to advance. Han Xiao didn't hesitate and chose an auspicious day to come to an uninhabited barren star in the territory, preparing to invest all his experience to upgrade and reach the threshold for a new advancement.
