Upon experiencing the convenience of the automatic binding, Han Xiao could not help but feel good. Magnetic connection is truly convenient.
The exoskeleton armor looked rough and ferocious. It had a chanic structure of heavy, black alloy armor combined with staggered fangs—the visual impact was very strong. The Siege Mode was focused on power and defense; it was like a train head when moving. The chanical limbs were large and tough, equipped with a large number of moving gears, adding the bonus of dozens of Strength points and more than 10,000 armor points.
There were always pros and cons—the disadvantage of the Siege Mode was reduced Dexterity. Amphiptere itself was covered by the heavy exoskeleton armor, but luckily, there was the Nerves Connection, so controlling the exoskeleton armor was easy.
His scythe was originally a more than two ters long weapon, but now it was like a harvesting short sickle. Han Xiao charged forward with large steps, and the ground shook. As he slashed again and again, the scythe and the Battleship Slicing Blade collided with each other rapidly.
Clank clank clank!
The Battleship Slicing Blade left marks on the armor. Han Xiao knew Specialized Materials Science, so he had combined Advanced Electromagnetism with it and created a new alloy. It was highly durable and had bonus damage reduction when filled with electric current. The strong materials used for the fusion had very high defensive capabilities. If it was normal iron, it would have been cut in half by Herlous long ago.
The Great chanic Han was not so arrogant as to fight a Pugilist head-on in lee combat. He harassed with his Sonic Spheres, of which he could control seven at a ti now because his nerves were stronger. He also used many other small weapons to keep attacking.
After fighting for a while, the exoskeleton armor was covered in damage, and Herlous had also been slashed by the scythe a few tis—it was basically a draw.
Clank!
After one last collision between the weapons, the two distanced themselves from one another like they could reach each other’s mind and stopped attacking at the sa ti.
“Great fight.” Han Xiao laughed.
Through this combat, he had a more direct understanding of his own combat power. The bottom line of grade B was 5,000 Ona, and grade A was 10,000 Ona. The calculation of the Ona number was a curve—the higher the number, the bigger the difference between each point. Therefore, the difference between those of the sa grade was larger. Even if both were grade B, the destructive power of one with 5,000 Ona and another with 9,000 Ona was completely different.
Han Xiao’s Energy Rank was a little more than 5,300—a novice in grade B. Herlous has been in grade B for many years, but he had abandoned training. Thus, his Energy Rank was about 5,000 as well. However, with Herlous’ talent, he had a lot of room to grow.
Supers with grade B strength were able to basically protect themselves in the galaxy, but it was countless miles away from being able to act completely carelessly. Han Xiao could only better prepare for the future if he knew his strength very clearly.
Herlous took a deep breath and put his weapon away. Sparring should always stop at a suitable point—there was no need to decide a winner. He would not use his trump card, and he knew full well that Han Xiao definitely had more trump cards as a chanic. Just through the fight earlier, he had already felt quite the pressure. Han Xiao had nurous attacking thods—like a hedgehog, he could be hurt with just a little bit of carelessness... oh wait, he was already hurt.
He dressed his wounds, and with the Pugilist’s physique, he would recover in a few hours. Black Star was an opponent on the sa level as him—Han Xiao’s combat power had earned Herlous’ approval.
Herlous was much less worried about Han Xiao’s safety. Originally, when he realized that he was the strongest in the Black Star rcenary Group, he had felt sowhat uncertain no matter what. Now that there was finally soone with the sa level of combat power, Herlous’ mindset had changed. To put it more directly... originally, he had thought that his teammates were burdens, but now, they gradually turned into reliable friends.
Furthermore, having a friend with the sa level of strength ant having common conversation topics. They smiled at each other and felt a sense of trust in one another. The basis of trust could only be built between people with the sa level of strength.
Herlous volunteered to help move the equipnt boxes, and the two of them walked out the simulation room side by side. Then they ca to realize that Frenzied Sword and a few players were waiting outside with surprised faces.
“Black Phantom, you’re so strong!” Stars twinkled in Frenzied Sword’s eyes.
Frenzied Sword was very hardworking, so he had wanted to find Herlous to trigger a tutoring event, but coincidentally, he had witnessed the earlier battle. He was stunned, as the rcenary group only displayed one grade B, Herlous, but Han Xiao had been fighting him evenly earlier. That ant that he had to be a B, too! Frenzied Sword imdiately made a logical guess—it must have been because Han Xiao hid it during the test.
In traditional ideals, the leader should be the strongest. Originally, when the captain was not as strong as the newly joined cadre, the players had felt rather weird. Now, Frenzied Sword and the others felt much more comfortable. The Great chanic Han’s image was strong and mysterious. In the players’ eyes, he could do all sorts of unbelievable things, and what he just did matched his position in their hearts.
Frenzied Sword was the first follower—he had witnessed Han Xiao’s rising experience step by step. Every ti that he saw Han Xiao, he was glad of the choice that he had made. However, after entering the galaxy, Frenzied Sword had been sowhat upset. The team had expanded, and there were more people—he felt neglected.
Back then, Han Xiao gave him these high reward missions with strange requirents every day, and Frenzied Sword could not get enough of it. However, the missions now were too formal—Frenzied Sword missed that feeling...
However, at the sa ti, he was secretly delighted about it as well. No other players had witnessed these strange missions, not even Hao Tian, Maple Moon, and Bun-Hit-Dog knew what Han Xiao had been like back then. He was the only one to have experienced it. This was a very interesting and fun experience, and he thought back on it often.
Han Xiao raised an eyebrow and took a step to the side discreetly. Sohow, he felt that Frenzied Sword was looking at him weirdly.
“Who’s Black Phantom?” Herlous was confused.
Han Xiao waved. “Don’t mind it, that’s my nickna on my mother planet.”
“Oh, I forgot, you’re famous on your mother planet.” Herlous discreetly decided to find other teammates to know more about Han Xiao’s past. He was very interested.
There were few activities during the trip, and other than occasionally sparring with Herlous, Han Xiao chatted with Gashley whenever he was free to hear more about Sky Ring’s history. They sotis also talked about the knowledge of traveling through the universe.
Gashley was an experienced rcenary—he had been to many places and had a lot of stories to tell. In terms of words, the Great chanic Han never backed off, and in terms of knowledge, ten Gashleys tied together would not be able to match up to him. They chatted happily and had very pleasant conversations, gradually familiarizing themselves with one another.
Most of the formal rcenaries were forthright and liked to make many friends.
Players communicated with the other Sky Ring rcenaries often. When talking about their armor, the Sky Ring rcenaries displayed the effect of the Sky Ring Armor. They were all products of compression technology. By pressing down on the triangular crystal on their chest, the humble Sky Ring combat suit would expand and beco various full forms. It was truly gorgeous.
The Sunil Enlistee Class armor paled in comparison, so the players were all shocked and jealous.
Seeing that the players were tempted by their resources, the Sky Ring rcenaries tried to tempt the players privately by promising a free Sky Ring Armor after joining Sky Ring. If their recruitnt was successful, the recruiter would be rewarded as well. Recruiting mbers from other rcenary groups was a very common activity—it was free real estate. Many Sky Ring rcenaries also belonged to other rcenary groups originally, and they had been attracted to Sky Ring due to their better offer.
However, this did not work on the players at all. Tempted did not an shaken; they were still waiting for better things to appear in the rcenary group shop. One day, there might be Sky Ring Armor in the Black Star shop too. Therefore, they were in no hurry. These players trusted Han Xiao very much.
The private invitations were all rejected, and the Sky Ring rcenaries were very surprised. They had not expected the rcenaries under Black Star to be so loyal, and shock naturally turned into respect for the group.
When Han Xiao heard this from Bun-Hit-Dog, he felt warm inside. The faction unity was starting to shape slowly. This group of players had backbone.
...
At the sa ti, among so asteroid belt in the Fawn Galaxy, a few scavenger spaceships were moving stealthily. They kept the information disruption force field activated at all tis, maintaining their Stealth mode. This was the scavenger organization that had attacked the Silvers. It was a slave trader that often sold slaves—they were notorious for their ruthless acts in the Shattered Star Ring.
The hold of one of the spaceships consisted of prison cells used exclusively for containing slaves. This group of scavengers had done quite a number of jobs before they attacked the Silvers. The not so valuable ‘goods’ were locked together, and the valuable slaves were imprisoned alone. Naturally, the seventeen captured Silvers were imprisoned alone.
A golden-skinned, ssy-haired man walked into the prison area with a very gloomy look on his face. He was the leader of this group of scavengers, Peggy, a hybrid Godoran. The blood running through his veins was only one-eighth Godoran, but his appearance was still very similar to that of a Godoran. The Godoran genes were indeed very strong. He had tiny scales on different places on his skin and vertical pupils like a snake, suggesting that he had so kind of Snakeman genes.
The prisoners in the large cell imdiately beca riled up when they saw him.
“Let out!”
“I’m an explorer of Holy Stone Civilization, how dare you detain ! Let go now, or I will...”
“Who are you going to sell us to?”
The prisoners were very noisy, but Peggy ignored them completely. He skipped the large cell area and walked into the corridor of the single person cells. He had yet to do a routine interrogation after catching these Silvers—it was now ti to test the ‘goods’.
