Chapter 65: The King of Darkness

Han hesitated, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Come on, please don't kid me. Since the beginning I'm just a little native boy from Earth, since when did I hit the jack pot?"

Night Walker laughed, and said seriously, "Where do I start? Okay, it all began that year when the 1st A-class relic, A-1, was opened. At that time, although there was growing prosperity of the human race in the Milky Way, there was no Milky Way Alliance yet, only some small-scale cooperative organizations."

"The one that found and activated the A-1 Relic was called the Blue Wave Republic, one of the dominant class empires in the Milky Way. Confident with its power, the Blue Wave Republic forcefully broke open the A-1, and spawned the disaster of the century."

"Just moments after the A-1 relic was opened, an unprecedentedly powerful dark warrior killed his way out of the relic, and that person later came to be known by the Milky Way as the Dark King!"

"The Dark King had no name, no one knew why he appeared in A-1, all people knew was that he killed the entire exploration army from the Blue Wave Republic in one night. Then killed off all the logistics corps located in the periphery of the relic, and he possessed a powerful force of darkness that was beyond imagination!"

"Blue Wave Republic's army came to kill the Dark king, but however many people they send, however many got killed! Not even the giant laser cannon could kill this monster that was against all heaven rules!"

"Ultimately, the Republic of Blue Wave paid a tragic price for its bold move of opening up A-1, the elites of the entire nation were killed by the Dark King and it was never able to recover since then. And after a few hundreds of years, this country went from a Milky Way overlord of the generation to meeting its cruel fate of being mutilated by other countries."

"Then, the major powers of the Milky Way sent their strongest warriors in hopes to catch this monster codenamed the Dark King. Even so, they still paid a heavy price. The entire hunt went on for a hundred and twenty-eight years, countless casualties were recorded, and finally the Milky Way Alliance army was able to oppress the Dark King at the H975327 Black Hole and forced it to jump into the black hole and suicide."

"So, the operation to catch the Dark King came with an unimaginably high price, and not counting the heavy casualties, the cost was already an astronomical figure."

After experiencing this storm, the people in the Milky Way finally realized how many hidden secrets were stored away in those relics and how scary that was. That was how the Milky Way Alliance was formed, and all A-class relics must be decided by the Milky Way Alliance about whether and when they should explore it."

"Without any exaggeration, the powerful Milky Way Alliance was originally just an alliance to hunt for the Dark King. Think about it, gathering all powers in Milky Way, just for one guy! You can probably imagine how powerful the Dark King is."

Han gasped, and said in surprise, "Oh my god, the Dark King can cause chaos in the entire Milky Way just by himself, then isn't his power off the chart?! But what does that powerful figure have to do with me?"

"Of course there's a relationship!" Night Walker said in a deep voice, "At that time, the Dark King was forced to jump into a black hole and no one got to see his dead body."

"367 days after the death of the Dark King, No. H975327 black hole erupted! After property reversal, the black hole turned into a white hole, and went from absorbing everything nearby to spitting out everything inside the hole."

"After a few hundred years, some unexplained strange objects began to appear in the Milky Way, like a hand of darkness, a heart of darkness, and all these things were found near the black hole that had originally buried the Dark King."

"So, gradually a legend began in Milky Way saying that after the Dark King died, his body went through some mutations that us humans wouldn't understand. Just like how the esper soldiers can leave behind power crystals after death, the Dark King left behind some organs after death."

"The more times the legend got passed, the more interesting it became. In the end the legend even said that the Dark King left behind 7 things after death, and they were the Heart, Brain, Hand, Eye, Bone, Knee, and lastly the crystal of darkness. All these things combined, are called the 7 Layers of Darkness."

"The 7 layers are all universe treasures without exception, and countless people tried to study them in attempt inherit the powerful strength of darkness of the King! After all, he once single-handedly fought against the entire Milky Way! This level of combat was beyond imagination! A lot stronger than any super warlords in the Milky Way!"

"Unfortunately, humans' study on the 7 Layers of Darkness never progressed, because all 7 items were extremely toxic! Sufficient enough to melt through flesh and bone!"

Then, Night Walker paused for a second, and stared at Han, "I had the opportunity this life to acquire the Heart of Darkness. Although the price I paid was heavy, it's all in the past now and I don't regret it at all."

"Later, I met a very interesting young man, he had deadly toxins in his body but he didn't die because his unique zero-degree brain region protected this young man. So, I thought, I will just try to cure the dead horse as if it was a living horse (TL: a saying in Chinese that means the situation is already bad enough, might as well try it as if the horse is still alive). So I used half of that Heart of Darkness and made an even more toxic potion out of it and gave it to that young man to take as a medicine."

"Originally, I was just trying to fight fire with fire and remove the toxins in that young man, and the results looked exactly like that case. But then later, that young man went onto the battlefield, and unexpectedly triggered the great power of darkness, and that's when I suddenly realized that this young man inherited the powers of the Dark King!"

Then, with shining eyes, Night Walker stressed each syllable, and said, "And that young man, is you!"

Han was way too surprised, it turned out that he unwittingly accepted the heavenly power of the Dark King, no wonder he suddenly felt a sudden exponential growth in power after undergoing the dark transformation, and even his vision became special. So this was why…

Han thought for a bit, and asked in curiosity, "Half of the Heart of Darkness already let me grow this much, then if I acquire all 7 Layers of Darkness, then aren't I going to be invincible?"

Gengci~

Night Walker and Pathless Origin almost collapsed, Pathless Origin laughed and said, "What are you little brat thinking?! Just for that Heart of Darkness, we almost died. Even if you have the power to absorb all 7 Layers of Darkness, it's not like you can find the remaining 6 items."

Han felt the same way, he was really being a little too greedy. He laughed and asked, "Speaking of absorption, how come other people can't absorb these items but I can acquire the power of darkness?"

Pathless said, "This, we still don't know. Maybe it's because of the Void End power that you have. Your power is mystery darkness descent, and the 7 Layers of Darkness are essentially of the dark element as well, maybe your power can restrain other dark class components, but I'm not too sure."

"In short, Old Black is right. The lucky you that already possessed the strong power of Void End, has now also acquired a portion of the power of the Dark King. You really hit the jack pot this time!"

"Void End's disadvantage is that you rob others of their power but you don't become any stronger, but now that you have the unmeasurable power of darkness, killing enemies will only require two steps: first, activate your domain and deprive them of their power, second, use the power of darkness and kill them!"

"This combination of super abilities is fearsome just thinking about it."

Han was already attracted by the bright future that Pathless Origin had described for him, but how should he train this power of darkness? Han became very confused.

About that concern, Pathless had a good dismissive laugh, "You have to believe in the power of me and the dark net. The resources that are here are beyond your imagination! Tomorrow, we will officially enter a new round of extreme training!"

Han just said goodbye to Pathless and Night Walker, he was found by Li Yu and Long Chuan.

Long Chuan was in his wheelchair and Li Yu pushed him.

"Han, I already saw the video on the battlefield that was recorded, I'm really interested to see how high your Physical Power Index after you transform?" Li Yu saw Han and hastily asked.

Han was shocked for a brief moment, shook his head and said, "I didn't try it, only Strength descent espers will test their Physical Power Index. I just periodically test my Power Source Index."

"Then let's go immediately and try." Li Yu said in a deep voice.

The three arrived at the assessment center. There was a special test machine for the Strength descent espers, the bull's-eye machine. After a punch in the center, the system will quantify the strength of that punch.

"Come on, use your power of Darkness and give it a punch!" Li Yu said in excitement.

Han nodded, and began to gather his newly acquired power. Since he was still not familiar with how to use it, it took a while for him to find that right feeling,

When using the power of Darkness, first the heart beat faster, then the blood pressure raised immediately, and that strong sense of power began to gather in the body.

Li Yu and Long Chuan all stood aside and looked forward to watching Han, Li Yu whispered, "I'm guessing that Han's Physical Power Index is above 2000 kg."

Long Chuan slightly frowned and said, "One punch for 2000 kg? It's not likely right? He's not even Strength descent."

Li Yu disagreed, "We will wait and see, I'm very confident in Han's potential."

Here it comes!

That feeling of being full with power was rediscovered by Han!

Shu~

Han's fist gradually turned black, and that fearsome power of darkness almost erupted out from Han!

Gritting his teeth, Han alighted his fist with the bull's eye and punched at full power!

What seemed to be an ordinary punch, was actually containing an unimaginable amount of dark energy!

HONGGGGGGG~

A series of dazzling lightning sparks projected out from the inside of that machine, followed by a deafening explosion sound!

Li Yu and Long Chuan couldn't believe their eyes, the bull's-eye machine that specialized in the testing of power, became a piece of junk from Han's one punch!

Oh ho ho, after such a long time, I'm finally almost done all the bonus chapters!!! Two more to go! Anyways, keep the donations coming so there's daily releases! Hahahahaha now that the 10$ opening special is gone I don't have to clench my bootyhole when I see a 50$ donation from a single guy!

Chapter 66: Death of Luo Yuyin

After a seemingly long silence, Long Chuan and Li Yu finally came back to their senses. Seeing the pile of junk that was previously a bull's-eye machine, the look on their faces could only be described as very interesting.

"Han, what have you done?" Li Yu Asked

Han said with an innocent face: "I already said, only Strength descent espers use this machine but you guys insisted on me trying. How would I know what happened?"

Li Yu and Long Chuan stared at each other in silence. Crap, the only bull's-eye machine was broken by Han, but exactly how powerful was Han's punch? We still don't know…

Long Chuan thought for a moment, "Maybe it's the nature of Han's attack that's really unique, it detonated the circuitry inside the machine. But in conclusion, after this, at least we know that now Han not only has the void domain that can deprive enemy powers, he's also equipped with an incredibly strong attack."

Li Yu nodded, "The Void End plus the power of darkness. Han, now you got a new nickname. Other than the Tough Bone Han, people also call you the dark demon because of your savage and merciless performance on the battlefield."

"Also, this time we got a lot of loot. Our fleet size has now expanded to 12 ships, and we also destroyed 13 raider and pirate nests and retrieved a large amount of loot from their lair. The preliminary estimate of the value from the loot is more than two billion GC."

"So, we and Talin talked a bit and decided to recruit all the qualified espers from the Federation into the army, and soon Earth will have 10 esper legions plus an excellent starship fleet."

"Expanding the military will also need the purchase of large quantities of supplies and equipment, so we still have to contact that mysterious friend of yours."

Han nodded and said, "Purchasing isn't a problem. Earth is my home, and doing something for my home is my responsibility, but you know…"

Li Yu smiled and interrupted Han, "I know I know, the equipment and medicines you get are either illegal or unsolicited. But it's almost time for the Milky Way Meet, we can't afford to care about that anymore so just rest assured and purchase whatever you feel fit, as long as it works. This time, other than equipment and medicine, we also need some parts for repairing starships. The Atlantic Cruiser needs some serious repairs, but this time we will use our own engineers. Not to mention that it saves money, but it also trains our mechanics."

The three walked and talked, discussing seriously about the military and the future of Earth. Currently, the higher ups in the Earth Military unanimously recognized Han as a very talented young man who will very likely be promoted to be one of them in the future. To this end, Long Chuan and Li Yu told Han everything they knew and didn't try to hide anything.

Han also asked about Long Chuan's illness. Although he had managed to preserve Long Chuan's life, his condition did not improve and thus has to now rely on a wheelchair. Han secretly decided, that he will learn more about pharmacology and see if he can help Long Chuan. After all, Long Chuan was like the soul of Earth's military, whether it was tactical or combat. Losing him will be a significant and tragic loss for Earth.

They were just about to leave the training camp when the grumpy Cheng Zhong caught up and wanted to drag Han out for a drink.

"What happened? Who pissed you off?" Han asked curiously.

"Don't mention it! Didn't we just get a huge victory? So I decided to take advantage of this momentum and see if I can pass the final pressure exam so I can get a spot at the Milky Way Meet as soon as possible."

"But what the hell! Just when I entered the battle, everyone started to target me! And someone even chopped off my head! Although it was just virtual battle and I can't die, it is so f*king shameful! I'm almost embarrassed enough to kill myself!"

Han was slightly shocked, puzzled and asked, "What kind of battle exam? Why did they all target you?"

"It was a medal race this time. Everyone had a keepsake on their chest, and you must try to get as many of other people's keepsakes as possible while protecting your own. The more you get, the higher your score. I was hiding somewhere and planning to wait for single encounters, and I saw some people fighting so I wanted to take advantage of the chaos and try to make something happen. But, all those people stopped fighting immediately after seeing me, and they all ganged up on me!" Cheng Zhong said angrily.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Han, but first he tried to comfort Cheng Zhong, "Don't worry, maybe you just stepped in a trap. Maybe these people came from the same group and they just pretended to be fighting to bait enemies. There are still 2 more months left until the deadline for this exam, just calm down and train, you still have a chance."

"Fine." Cheng Zhong darkened his face, nodded and said, "Looks like I still need to gain more weight. I'm going to go back eat until I'm at 800 pounds and then compete again."

Han didn't say anything, the night wind in Nazca was very strong, blowing the sand and making it dance.

No one knew, the Sally Empire had already set up a net in the Pressure Exam, and the trouble Cheng Zhong just encountered was just a start.

Luo Yuyin was the youngest soldier in the training camp. She was just 16 years old and had the typical features of a southern Chinese girl: pretty skin, a short and thin figure, two cute dimples when she laughed. A small girl that liked to hide in her room and watch anime while wearing pink princess dresses.

Speaking of Luo Yuyin and Han, they shared a common hobby: both of them liked hot chocolate, so they always saw each other at the hot beverage section in the cafeteria. Han doubted that she weighed more than 70 pounds and thus, he could easily lift her up with one finger.

Although knowing that Luo Yuyin was a relatively rare Sound descent esper and was quite talented, Han felt that someone as shy as Luo Yuyin wasn't suitable to become a soldier.

Today, he walked into the training camp like usual and saw Luo Yuyin again, but her originally pair of big and cutes eyes were pink like peaches from crying. She carried a shoulder bag covered with plush toys, and was on her way out under An Beibei's accompany.

Seeing Han, Luo Yuyin bit her lips to tried not to cry, but tears still fell like beads from a broken string. She bowed deeply at Han and said quietly, "Brother Han, thank you for taking care of me, goodbye."

Han was not prepared. He was stunned for a second and then replied goodbye.

Cheng Zhong came into the lobby after Han, and Luo Yuyin also bowed to him and whispered goodbye.

"What happened?" The confused Han asked Cheng Zhong.

Sigh~

Cheng Zhong had a bitter face, sighed and said, "Little Yuyin was eliminated, so she's leaving the training camp to report to the administration. Still don't know where they will send this little girl, she's too timid and shy."

At this moment, An Beibei comforted Luo Yuyin by the door for a bit, turned around and returned to the lobby and said to Han, "Little Yuyin is really pitiful, not only was she eliminated, those people even uploaded the video of her head getting cut off onto the internet. She's just 16 and is still immature, that's just simply too much for her!"

Han was shocked and asked, "There's such a thing?! Show me."

An Beibei nodded and took Han to the front of a computer, and then booted on to the Milky Way's largest video site and searched out a video.

Inside the clip, a bunch of espers from other planets were sieging the tiny Luo Yuyin, and little Yuyin was obviously very frightened. Such a little girl getting surrounded by 7 to 8 sturdy men, they not only beat Little Yuyin but also insulted her with vulgar language.

Han could not help but clench his fists, damn those guys!

Little Yuyin suddenly opened her mouth and erupted a series of fatal syllables. Sound descent espers all relied on the release of sonic waves to attack, and it was said that once they reach a certain level, they could release noises that can trap the enemies in illusion. Although it was not some strong power, it was still a very useful niche skill.

"Little slut, how dare you resist! Watch me tear apart your mouth!" A big guy wasn't expecting how strong Little Yuyin's counterattack was, and became very dizzy from the booming sonic shock with blood constantly flowing out of his ears.

He angrily punched Luo Yuyin's little face with his fist, and the sweet dimple on Little Yuyin's face was flattened. Her pink little cheek was swollen up, and some other fellow on the side stepped on Little Yuyin and laughed out loud.

Shua~

The brawny warrior took out a Reverse Astral blade, raised it high up into the air and aligned it with Little Yuyin's white neck. At this moment, she was already in a mess from all the beatings, how could she have the power to resist. She just stared blankly into the sky, her eyes were devoid of hope.

"Go to hell!"

The brawny soldier shouted and swung the sharp knife in his hand.

Shua~

Han could no longer stand it, a punch landed on the computer screen and completely shattered it.

"That's way out of the line!" Even it was a virtual battle, Han could still feel the rage inside of him like a fire. She was just 16, she was only a weak little girl, are those guys animals?!

Cheng Zhong was angry on the side as well, "What the hell, it was my first medal game and I also met a group of guys that all want to take my head as if they already had some agreement before."

An Beibei gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what's more cruel? If you lose your first medal game, you still have a second chance, but the second game was even more brutal for Little Yuyin."

Shua~

Flames of anger burst out of Han's eyes, he turned around and look at An Beibei.

An Beibei said sullenly, "If useless to look at me this way. After you were back you were so focused on training and didn't have the time to communicate with everyone. Within just a month, there are only 18 guys left in the training camp, even Parker was eliminated. He also got his head cut off and the video's up online as well."

Han was suddenly shocked, Parker was the 4th ranked pro in the training camp, nicknamed Violent Temper Parker. Even he got eliminated? That's…

An Beibei paused, and continued, "Now Earth is a joke in the pressure exam, and someone even made a website that has all the abuse and beheading videos of Luo Yuyin and Parker and the others, called the Pig Butchering Assembly."

"It's obvious, someone deliberately wants us dead!" An Beibei whispered.

Chapter 67: Completely Annihilated

Han has spent 9 hours training in the extremely cold pool in his training room. This has already reached double from the past, and Han still didn't have the thought to stop.

With fewer and fewer people left in the training camp, Han started to feel increasing pressure. He did not flinch in the face of pressure but chose more crazy training methods to improve himself.

Today, the two significant differences compared to the extreme training in the past was that, aside from practicing the 46 Ensemble, Han also spend more time practicing how to summon that special dark power and be able to control it during combat.

The other change was Pathless Origin.

This strange old man's interest in Han was growing every day. He told Han to open the big screen when training, and he always stared at Han and frequently had conversations with Han, pointing out tips for better results.

Whiiirrrrrr~

Han stood in the -200 Celsius unfrozen cold water. His body was covered in fog and he was breathing heavily.

In such cold temperatures, even if Han didn't move at all, every minute and every second was still a torture, requiring a lot of energy and determination to adhere to.

In comparison to half a month ago, Han's body went through significant changes. The extreme training didn't make Han burlier, he was still a bit slim, but his bones and muscles were significantly stronger, like a blood-red steel frame.

Just finishing a round of 46 Ensembles, Han was adjusting himself. Pathless slightly frowned and said, "The next round is a match practice. I found you a good opponent, a wanted criminal from the Kui race. You are probably familiar with the physical characteristics of people from the Kui race, they have hard scales and their limbs are a lot more developed than humans. Their explosive power is very outstanding as well."

"In addition, he came from an assassin clan. Very good at hiding and then surprise attacking. If you are not careful, he only needs one combo to rip open your body with his sharp fingers."

Pathless made very good use of the dark net, every day he would find some strange people to fight against Han. Wanted criminals, assassins, underground boxers, anyway none of them were good men. They were all a bunch of ruthless guys.

According to Pathless, when Han adapts to the most vicious opponents in the Milky Way and then fights those soldiers that went through the regular military training, then he will find their attacks to be very childish. Definitely not on the level of those wanted and experienced outlaws from the dark net.

The fact has already been proved, these guys that Pathless recruited really used some insidious moves. Including methods like secretly drugging Han, creating illusions of a few naked girls to seduce Han, etc. In short, these guys do not seem to understand the concept of regular combat, they did whatever underhanded and crafty things they could in order to win.

In the beginning, Han lost a lot, but after facing these people more and more, Han began to really adapt to these cunning moves, and he occasionally used some of tricks he learned as well, returning the favor.

Under Pathless Origin's mentorship, Han went further and further on this not so decent road, and learned lots of guileful techniques.

Seeing how Han didn't react, Pathless frowned and continued, "I know you aren't satisfied, but everything has its gradual process. In combat, what matters is the overall character, training, experience, battle mentality and fighting will. You can't lack any of them. So hurry up, aside from fighting 1 on 1 against that assassin from the Kui race, you still have to go watch the death broadcast. That's also a very important lesson."

Han took two deep breathes, opened his mouth and asked, "Teacher, it's getting closer and closer to the Milky Way Meet, when can I start learning martial art? When can I go take my final test for the pressure exam?"

Pathless said sincerely, "That's not urgent. If you want to go far, then you need better foundations, and right now is the time to lay your foundations. You can learn martial art slowly later on, but a foundation that's not solid is fatal."

"As for the last stage for the pressure exam, as long as you are on time you can do it right before the deadline. The situation is very clear right now, someone's targeting the contestants from Earth, so you better wait until you have the absolute certainty to win before attending the final stage."

Nodded his head, Han said in a deep voice, "Got it, I will do one more darkness training, and then I will go greet that opponent from the Kui race."

Shua~

Right after he finished, Han suddenly submerged himself under the freezing water.

"Eye of Darkness, activate!"

Han said on the inside, he suddenly opened his right eye. At the moment, his right eye has been completely turned into a deep black color, like a ghost reflecting dismal light.

There were only 3 days left before the deadline to the pressure exam. Han still didn't appear in the final test but isolated himself in the base and practiced like mad.

Every day Han had to do extreme training for 10 hours, spending one hour to fight the soldier that Pathless found for him, and then spend another one analyzing that day's combat, followed by another 8 hours of nonstop death broadcast viewing, checking out how the soldiers from other planets fought and thinking about what he would do during that fight.

When Han last appeared in the base, he saw two guys, Xin Beige and Cheng Zhong. Those two were not training, but rather sitting in the lobby waiting for Han, standing beside their luggage.

Han's heart suddenly thumped once. Now the training camp has become so empty, leaving only the three of them here. Could Xin Beige and Cheng Zhong be…

After walking to them, Han sat down facing them, and whispered, "Are you guys leaving?"

The always optimistic Cheng Zhong let out a long sigh and said with a bitter smile, "I'm just someone that's bored, staying here for this long was just to accompany you for longer. After all, we both came from China, you will always be my good brother."

"Unfortunately, time is almost up. What's coming will come, and what's leaving will leave. You still remember Monk? That baldy was eliminated early, and now he's actually an instructor at the 3rd Legion, leading about 100 men. Now that it's impossible for me to make it to the Milky Way Meet anyways, I might as well leave early to join the military. Otherwise if I can't get a rank higher than that Monk guy, then it would be really embarrassing."

Han didn't know what was better to say so he just nodded and said, "The military's job is very important too. It's good to join them as soon as possible."

The three awkwardly sat there in silence. Cheng Zhong and Xin Beige both knew after they leave, Han will be the only one in the entire training camp, and he will be the last hope of Earth to get a spot at the Meet.

Ten years ago, Earth had just joined the Milky Way Alliance under very difficult conditions. There were still four soldiers including, Ke Lake in the lead, that had made it to the Meet.

After 10 years of careful preparation, Earth gathered the most promising young espers early together and invested heavily in training them, yet today they were almost all eliminated. It's clear how disappointed everyone was. And if Han gets eliminated too, then the Earth Federation will really become a joke for the entire Milky Way.

Xin Beige had a bitter face and was rubbing his hands nonstop, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to open his mouth.

Han tried to break the awkward silence and whispered, "Xin Beige, are you going to the military with Cheng Zhong? I heard that the Extinction Site administration really hoped that you would go there."

Shua~

Contrary to Han's expectations, Xin Beige suddenly grabbed Han's hands and began to shiver. The tall and native German, Xin Beige, began to cry, and said with tears in his eyes, "Han, I'm sorry! When you had just arrived to the camp, I wasn't nice to you. Now that I think about it, I'm such a dumb pig!"

Han was shocked for a bit, patted Xin Beige on the shoulder and said, "It's all in the past, now we are all brothers."

Xin Beige heavily nodded his head, looked at Han's eyes, and said sincerely, "I spent more than a decade training as hard as I could, day and night! No matter how difficult it was and how much I bled, I didn't care at all! It was just so that I could be a soldier like Ke Lake, and offer my share of contributions to Earth!"

"But I'm useless, I'm useless! I got eliminated in the preliminary like a retard, and I don't have another chance anymore, but you still do! Please, make it to the final! No matter how small of a country Earth is, if none of us can make it to the final, then it's a shame! It's a shame for everyone!"

Cheng Zhong sighed on the side and grasped Xin Beige shoulder. He broke down in tears as well as he started to drag Xin Beige towards the door, muttering, "Han, don't listen to him, this guy's just too nervous. Go, we are all brothers, how can we not trust you? As long as you tried your best, no one's going to say anything."

Han was stunned, watching Cheng Zhong drag the suffering Xin Beige out the door.

"Didn't we agree to say farewell to him happily and not give him any pressure? What were you doing?!"

"Li Yu, Talin, Long Chuan, they are all frantic and you don't see them talking to Han right? We can't place such a huge pressure on Han's shoulders, that's not fair for him." Out the door, Cheng Zhong wiped Xin Beige's eyes for him, and tossed him into a military jeep he had prepared.

Xin Beige covered his face with his hands, nodded and said, "I know I know, but I just couldn't help it! If we are all eliminated from the finals, then the Alliance will allow someone to colonize Earth for sure! If I can't even protect my home, how can I face my mother in heaven! Before my mom passed away, I promised her that I will become an outstanding soldier!"

"Useless, useless, I'm so useless!"

Xin Beige cried out loud, forcefully pulling his blond hair. Since the beginning, he was always a proud warrior and he had kept that firm image in the training camp as well as on the battlefield.

Now, it appears that perhaps everyone has their own vulnerability, but it was just that they haven't reached that point of sadness.

Han looked around at the once crowded camp. There were 49 young soldiers from all over the world, the big mouth Cheng Zhong, the Luo Yuyin that was like a cat, the hot-tempered Parker, the slender legs An Beibei, Nicholas from Siberia who really liked Vodka…

Suddenly, everyone's gone, and Han was the only one left now.

Pushing open the door to the training room, Han logged onto the dark net, and found Pathless to be already waiting for him.

Smiled, a touch of coldness flashed through Pathless Origin's eyes, "Today's the last training session before you attend the last stage of that pressure exam, and it's also the most important class. You have spent an entire 6 month on basic training, and now I hope you can learn this martial art in one day!"

Chapter 68: Back to the Spotlight

Learn a martial art in one day?

Han stared at Pathless Origin skeptically and whispered, "Teacher, do you have a fever? The 46 Ensemble, which is like the most basic out of the basics, you told me to practice it for a full 6 months, but now you want me to learn a more esoteric martial art. You actually want me to learn it in one day?"

Pathless Origin laughed out loud, "That's right, you only need one day anyways! Now that you have a solid foundation, you must remember martial arts are not something you learn and master in the training room, but on the battlefield!"

"Today, you just need to remember the things I teach you. As to what extent this martial art will take you, it will depend on your own comprehension."

Han nodded and seriously said, "Ok."

Pathless stroked his short beard, took out a dark memory chip, and a glimpse of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Today the martial art style I will teach you is called the Star Break Fist."

"One punch that can break stars?!" Han was slightly shocked.

Pathless Origin said proudly, "Yes, that's right. The thing in my hand is the last memory chip of this martial art style in the entire Milky Way. It was extracted from some relic. The Old Night Walker gave you half a Heart of Darkness, how can I lose to him? I will give you this limited edition Star Break Fist, because it's no use for me anyways."

After about an hour, Han walked out of the virtual reality pod in confusion.

The technology of the Milky Way galaxy was very advanced. Things like learning martial art could directly be done through the format of data transmission into the brain, and Han already remotely accepted the techniques of the Star Break Fist style in the virtual reality pod. At the moment, Han felt like his brain was as chaotic as muddy water, as if someone suddenly stuffed a lot of random things in to it.

Returning to the training room, Pathless smiled and asked, "How do you feel about this martial art technique?"

Han pondered for a moment and said, "The Star Break Fist seems to be not just a set of boxing techniques, but a fighting style that can also go really well with weapons. It's just that, I need more experience with it to be more conclusive."

Pathless slightly nodded, seems like he's quite satisfied with Han's understanding so far, and he said, "Not bad, now do it once in front of me."

So, Han began to practice what he just learned, but what happened was totally unexpected. In theory, inheriting martial art styles through memory chips means that the techniques should be engraved in his brain already, but Han just made a few moves and he already forgot what's next.

"Don't think! Use your intuition! Find a way to make up for what you don't remember!" Pathless was very strict and he shouted. Although the relationship between this strange old man and Han already improved a lot, but for all the crucial moments, he still couldn't supress that hot temper of his.

Han was embarrassed. He wouldn't say that he was a genius, but he knew that at least he didn't have any trouble memorizing stuff. Night Walker gave a pharmacology book to him before which information on tens of thousands of drugs and Han memorized them all. How come he just can't remember these Star Break Fist techniques?

Wait what?

After completely a so-so quality set of Star Break, Han frowned as he tried to remember those techniques that was transmitted into his brain.

"Don't think! Practice again for me! If you forget, make up your own moves!"

Han was shocked, and he quickly began to practice for the second time but this time it was even worse. At first, he could still remember about half of the moves, but not it wasn't even a third. For the majority of the time, Han needed to rely on his intuition to make up for the gaps between moves.

Han was very anxious, he felt like he became stupid or something. He couldn't even remember a few moves.

After he was done, he started practicing for the third time and the situation did not get better. This time, he forgot about 75%.

After the third time around, Pathless asked Han to practice for the fourth time, and Han just felt a crazy wave of dizziness. He finally got to remember some moves, but in the blink of an eye he already forgot 90% of it.

After all, the Star Break Fist was something precious that came out of the extinction domain, and it was already an extremely rare opportunity to acquire such a top-level martial art, how did he forget it in the blink of an eye? Han felt a sudden urge to cry but had no tears.

And Pathless, that strange old man, was still telling Han to practice and practice. And the more he practiced the more he forgot, the more he forgot the more nervous he got, and the more nervous he got the more he forgot.

In the blink of an eye, 10 hours passed by. Han's body was covered in sweat. He had already gone through the routines 17 times, and just when Pathless shouted at Han to make him practice one more time, Han stood there like a wooden chicken and didn't even make a move.

"Why aren't you practicing?" Pathless strictly asked.

Han shook his head, grimaced and said, "I think, I forgot it all."

"You really forgot it all?"

"Yep."

"Forgot it all?! Like, nothing left?"

"Yep, not a single move."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

Han was 100% sure that no one's laugh was creepier than Pathless Origin's. Han raised his head and curiously looked at the strange old man.

After laughing crazily, Pathless Origin's eyes became cold again, and he said seriously to Han, "Congratulations, you learned Star Break Fist!"

Han couldn't believe his ears, "I forgot it all, and you said I learned it?"

Pathless nodded, "Yes, this set of technique is designed to let you forget. You don't remember all the moves, but you still remember the essence and unique features of this set of techniques right?"

Han thought about it, "I think the essence of the Star Break Fist style is attack. On Earth we have a saying, use softness to counter toughness, but Star Break is the exact opposite. It emphasizes that attack is the best defense, and if the enemy is tough, then you have to be tougher than the enemy."

"As for technique, Star Break is about high flexibility, fast pace, fierce blows…"

Pathless narrowed his eyes and nodded as he listened. After Han was done, he couldn't help but to exclaim, "You have exceeded my expectations, looks like you truly understood the meaning behind Star Break Fist."

"Overall, Star Break is about breaking the routine. When the enemy's strong, teachers usually tell you to first avoid the edge and then choose the right time to strike, but Star Break is the direct opposite and tells you to break storms with storms."

"Like I said before, the highest level of martial arts is actually about forgetting. Only when you forget all those moves, then you won't be restrained by them. And without restrains, then you can unleash the strongest fighting strength."

"Learning martial arts is about remembering what's exactly taught in the books? No, it never is! Everyone's a different individual, no matter how good someone is with a style of martial art, it might not be the best for you. That's why we have to learn the martial art itself. It's not for learning those moves, but for how to convert the things you learned into your own fighting style."

The wisest reason, is to be unreasonable. The strongest martial art techniques, is to have no techniques!"

"Having no way is actually the way of the Heaven!"

"Having no way is actually the way of Heaven?" Han raised his head and asked.

Pathless slightly smiled, and waved, "Go and attend the last stage of the pressure exam, I look forward to your performance."

Shua~

Han packed up his dark net login program, and walked out of the room with big steps. When he passed the lobby, he stopped at a screen and opened the shocking webpage.

It was the page that had the videos of how all the brothers from the training camp got eliminated, and below were many unsightly comments. Expressing the "best" satires towards the soldiers from Earth, saying that Earth is a planet that is rich in trash, and sent a group of trash-like espers to embarrass itself in front of the entire Milky Way.

Long Chuan quietly came in on his wheel chair, seeing Han watching those videos, he was a bit worried and said, "Han, time is running out."

Han nodded, and whispered, "I know, there are 52 more hours until the end of the pressure exam. The 4th round is the medal game which takes 12 hours, the 5th round is Meteor Shower which is another 12 hours, and the last round is the Road to the Netherworld which needs 24 hours. That's 48 hours in total so we have enough time."

Long Chuan slightly nodded, Han was the most unique member of the training camp. Although he was here, he wasn't anyone's student. Long Chuan knew clearly that Han had a rather mysterious teacher.

"So you want to look at how others were eliminated? And then analyze their tactics?" Long Chuan curiously asked.

Han shook his head, "No, I just want to remember those that laid hands on our people, and their names."

"And then?" Long Chuan asked.

"And then if I can meet them, kill them." Han replied with ice-cold tone.

In the virtual reality pod, Han pressed the activation button.

Shua~

The light flashed past. After a lapse of several months, Han finally appeared at the Milky Way Meet's preliminary round lobby once again. Facing the familiar faces of the square and the portals, Han actually felt a bit warmth in his heart.

There wasn't enough time left to the completion of the pressure exam, the majority of the contestants already completed all the test and were waiting at home for the results. There weren't a lot of people left on the square, and it was a bit depressing.

Han paused for a bit, and went straight to a random portal with big steps.

In front of his chest was a light screen. Everyone could see clearly that he came from the 57th Sector of the Milky Way, Earth.

"Look, another trash from Earth!"

"What happened? Were all the trash from Earth eliminated?"

"Maybe it's just some fish that slipped through the net that was scared so he waited until the last moment to attend the exam."

"Quick, let's go to a portal. If we can go to the same battlefield as that brat, then it will be awesome. Someone placed a bounty, killing an esper from Earth once is 1 million GC, beheading doubles the reward and that's 2 million! It's like money that's just lying there."

Finding out that Han was from Earth, the square became restless, many people began to discuss how to take Han's head and exchange it for bounty.

The square was open, and all those words also fell into Han's ears. One had just seen him step unhesitantly into the portal, and the corner of his mouth was curled in a slight grin.

Chapter 69: Pinnacle of 3 Stars

Outside of the pressure exam site, many pairs of eyes were looking at Han and praying for him. After all, the selected fighters from Earth were almost all wiped out, leaving Han as the only hope. Countless higher ups from Earth Federation didn't even try contacting Han, afraid that they might be placing too much pressure on him. They were all, however, secretly paying attention to Han and his performance in the preliminaries.

As supervisors of Han, Li Yu and Long Chuan were waiting anxiously as well. They hid in their office and nervously smoked cigarettes one after another.

The broadcast footage finally appeared. Han arrived at the testing center for the Milky Way Meet's pressure exam.

Han's physical data and registration information appeared on the right side of the screen. After Li Yu saw Han's power source index, he was immediately shocked.

"It has already reached 8135! That's the pinnacle of 3 stars! So Han was actually that close to 4 stars now! Long Chuan, how come you never mentioned it to me?" Li Yu's eyes opened up wide and said.

And Long Chuan was so excited that he almost stood up from his wheel chair. He quavered, "I thought you were paying attention to him."

Li Yu smacked his thigh, "Hey! I thought you would be paying attention to Han so that's why I never asked."

"Don't get excited, don't get excited first." Long Chuan quickly did some calculation in his mind and said in a deep voice, "Two months ago, when we invaded the raiders, Han's Power Source Index was around 4000, just reaching the intermediate 3 stars level. It has been 57 days and Han already broke 8000, and that means, he increased his index by a full 4000 in the past 57 day, averaging to a daily increase of around 70 units!"

Long Chuan and Li Yu were speechless. Usually, as espers reached higher levels, their source index growth rate should start to slow down. That was why there were cases like Long Chuan who couldn't reach 5 stars in the past 10 years.

But for Han, when his level increased, his power source index growth rate actually started to accelerate!

Just two months ago, Han's daily growth rate was 50 units per day, but now it had reached 70 units!

If this rate continued, then within a month, Han will break through and reach 4 stars! He will become a 4 star esper soldier, capable of summoning a void domain of 100 meters in radius!

"70 units of daily growth rate? What a monster…" After a long silent, Li Yu swallowed a mouthful of spit and whispered.

Shua~

After the light flashed, Han was teleported to the 4th round of the pressure exam, the medal game.

From this round, espers were allowed to freely fight each other, and the tournament organizers actually encouraged contestants to fight to the death, obviously making this test a lot more difficult to pass.

The rules for the medal game was actually very simple. 10 espers were randomly chosen and teleported to a battlefield of 10 square kilometers. Everyone wore a golden badge on their chest, and the contestants had to try to seize as many of the other people's badges while protecting their own.

Each badge was worth 100 points with a full score of 1000. Losing your own badge means you were disqualified.

After both of his feet touched the ground, Han quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed that he was in an ancient ruin. The center square was quite open and it was surrounded by large remnants of broken walls and cliffs.

The 10 randomly chosen contestants all appeared in the center square, each being about 30 meters apart giving them enough time to decide whether they want to charge into battle or retreat into the rubble and wait for the right time to launch surprise attacks.

Aside from Han, the rest of the contestants were all 4 stars, and being only 3 stars, Han has the lowest level on this battlefield.

But this was normal. Usually, among the 100,000 young espers that ended up qualifying for the official Milky Way Meet, 4 star and 5 star fighters were about 50% each, and espers of these two levels were the main force that were participating in the race.

Aside from them, there were a few individuals that had already achieved 6 stars and became quasi warlords, but these geniuses were like the feathers of a phoenix and the scales of a Kylin. There were rarely more than 10 of them participating. After all, the people that were able to become quasi warlords before the age of 30 were usually peerless geniuses. They might not even care to attend the Meet.

As to the 3-stars that make it to the finals, every time there were usually around 100, which was really insignificant in comparison to the total 100,000 contestants that compete in the finals.

"Haha, there's actually a guy from Earth. Cutting his head can be exchanged for 2 million GC!" Right across from Han, a tall and buff warrior covered in tattoos pointed at Han and yelled.

Shua~

Suddenly, everyone's eyes rested on Han, some were shocked, and some were surprised.

This was the deadly tactic that the Sally Empire resorted to, placing heavy bounties on soldiers from Earth. Killing one will reward you with 1 million GC, and beheading one for public humiliation will be rewarded 2 million.

In the Milky Way, the purchasing power of the GC was quite strong, and 2 million was enough to buy a civil level starship without a weapon system, or a group of outstandingly pretty slave girls.

For the soldiers participating in the pressure exam, they could earn money while battling, why not?

So, before Han, all the brothers from Earth were beaten, beheaded and humiliated on the internet. The Sally Empire was too ostentatious and they really humiliated Earth this time.

"Don't let him get away!" The tattooed fighter yelled, "Kill this guy first, we will split the reward!"

The one standing on the right side of Han was a small yet muscular black fighter, he sneered, "Split evenly? This battle is going to take 12 hours, only the man last standing is qualified to split the bounty! Whoever dies half way doesn't count."

The tattooed man thought for a moment, thought that it wasn't a bad idea and said, "Then, if everyone agrees, then we will first kill then guy from Earth, and then it will be a free for all after."

The other 8 espers looked at each other and all gently nodded their head.

After all, the battlefield was 10 square kilometers, and it was also the ruin of a complex terrain, good for hiding. They teamed up mainly because they were scared that Han might run away, which meant they would watch that pile of cash just fly away from their reach.

After the temporary alliance was quickly formed, everyone started to close in, with the two espers closest to Han in the lead and others slowly approached Han. The tattooed guy even sent two others to cut off Han's retreat path.

Seeing this scene, Li Yu and Long Chuan, and all the people on Earth watching the fight were all nervous to death. They've seen the same scene way too many times, the 48 brothers in the genius camp, were almost all killed that way.

Everyone was very angry, they obviously had already guessed that it was the Sally Empire's conspiracy, but they couldn't do anything about it. After all, they didn't host the reward under their empire name, but rather a fake name. In addition, the pressure exam seems to not have the rule against placing bounties.

Against the siege of the nine 4 star espers, Han didn't even try to run, but just stood there, shaking his head. His expression was a bit bitter.

In the blink of an eye, they all surrounded Han, and the circle gradually got smaller. The enemy that was closest to Han was within 5 meters, and he could reach Han with one dash.

At that moment, Han suddenly looked up and said emotionlessly, "So my brothers were eliminated like this. It wasn't because they were not strong enough or didn't try hard enough, but because of how insidious the enemies are."

"Enough talk, cut his head! 2 million GC here I come!" The tattooed esper shouted and everyone pounced towards Han.

Kacha~

At that moment, Han's clenched fist suddenly opened.

Void Domain, open!

"Get ready for my fire fist!" That tattooed soldier raised his fist and aimed for Han's head.

But the reckless attacker didn't realize his fire fist was actually gone, because just at that moment when Han opened his palm, all of his power was robbed!

Now, Han just needed two steps to kill an enemy. First, take their ability. Second, use his dark power to destroy them!

BOOM~

The originally calm Han suddenly jumped up. His left leg lightly performed a skip step as he waved his right hand, delivering what seemed to be an ordinary punch, colliding with that tattooed guy's "fire" fist.

That seemingly plain punch actually contained an unimaginable amount of momentum!

The tattooed esper's fist broke right at the point of collision! Soon followed by his entire arm, it completely fell to the ground, into broken pieces!

Dark fist!

That was the effect of infusing one's entire body with dark energy!

The tattooed esper's eyes became wide open in surprise, and he witnessed how his fist and arm broke inch by inch, and then his shoulder, and then his chest.

"All the humiliation that my comrades suffered, I will return it two fold!" Han shouted in his heart, his eyes became colder and more merciless.

Then, that short muscular black esper charged at Han, and Han also went head on against his attack. For the user of his star breaking fist, there was no such saying as avoiding attacks, it had always been fighting violence with violence, and breaking storms with storms!

Hong!

Hong!

The pride of my comrades, I will take them back!

Hong!

Hong!

The humiliation my comrades suffered, I will make you pay back a hundred times!

Hong!

Hong!

Han roared again and again in his mind, completely releasing the anger he had accumulated for the past months!

Although all the other contestants from Earth were no longer here, but Han was still fighting!

And as long as Han still had breath left, the revenge would still be taken!

Han's void end could completely deprive all power from the opponent, and that was already very unreasonable, but including the horrendous destructive power of his dark fist, no one present was able to withstand such violent attacks. After several rounds of Han beating the crap out of everyone, the battlefield became dead silent.

Perfect score!

4th Round of Pressure Exam, passed!

Han emotionlessly picked up the golden badges in front the opponents' chest and looked up.

At this moment, the screen beside him was especially bright.

On top of it lied a few lines of very simple Milky Way universal language.

Han Lang.

17 Years Old.

Pinnacle 3 star.

From the Earth Federation.

Chapter 70: The Forbidden Art

In the virtual world.

"1940 points after just the first four rounds?" Night Walker smiled and said, "A perfect score on the pressure exam is 4000 and usually as long as your score is close to 2800, you will be qualified to attend the final. Seems like after training under a monster like you, Han won't have any problems making it into the finals."

The atmosphere suddenly changed, Night Walker stared at Pathless Origin, who was sitting beside him, and asked in curiosity, "Although I don't know too much about martial arts, but what you taught Han is significantly different from the others. He's like an unbreakable bamboo stick. Extremely flexible, the more pressure he receives from the enemy, the stronger he bounces back."

"And Han's attacks are extremely reckless, it doesn't seem like a formal martial art, but rather a natural force. What did you really teach Han? Could it be…."

Pathless said carelessly, "I'm not crazy like you, how could I pass my treasured martial art to Han, he's not my student nor my son, why should I? What I taught him was just the Star Break Fist. Although it's already one of the top level martial arts in the Milky Way, it's nothing special."

Night Walker laughed, and said, "Why are you still so tough with your words? I'm in pharmacology and in our industry, if a drug can be made as if it came from a balanced nature, then it has already reached the peak level. It's the same with martial arts, the highest type of martial arts is the one that people can't read, born out of nature, but also an existence that surpasses nature."

"If you dare to fool me because I don't know martial arts, I will stop supplying you drugs and let you feel like you would rather die."

"Humph!" Although Pathless was still quite tough with his words, his attitude obviously softened up a bit. He rubbed his hands and said, "I didn't lie to you because Han really thinks that I taught him the Star Break Fist."

"But in fact?" Night Walker asked curiously.

"In fact it's the Six Paths of the Void."

Ceng~

Night Walker was suddenly shocked, and couldn't believe it, "Capable of destroying 9 Layers of Hell! Easily able to annihilate the 6 paths of reincarnation! Known as the strongest demonic strike style, the Six Paths of the Void?"

Pathless didn't reply, but lightly nodded his head.

Night Walker's eyes opened wide, "You are crazy! The Six Paths of the Void is forbidden! You actually taught Han a forbidden martial art? If someone one knew, he could be killed because of it!"

Pathless disagreed and sneered, "Well, those so-called forbidden martial arts are only forbidden because they are too powerful, capable of causing too much death! But those so-called warlords or gods of war, which one of them didn't learn some forbidden arts? How come they can, but Han can't?"

"I just want Han to skip those useless conventional fighting techniques, and let him go directly to the strongest and most ruthless style. Why are you so surprised man?"

Night Walker was speechless for a while, but then he lightly shook his head, "Old monster, warlords can learn forbidden art because they are already above everyone. No one can do much to bring them down. But Han didn't even become an esper for a year and you are already teaching him forbidden arts?"

Pathless still stubbornly said, "That year, we were all fooled by those stupid rules of the Milky Way, and after so many years I realized that those so-called top level martial arts are completely incomparable to the forbidden techniques. If I had started learning forbidden art since the very beginning, then my achievements would be a lot higher than now! And we won't be in this kind of stupid situation where we can't even show our faces in order to hide from those that want to kill us."

"In short, if I have gone through that detour, I won't let Han go through the same thing. What retarded conventional martial art, no need to learn it! If he's going to learn, then he's going to learn the best!"

"Aren't you people in pharmacology the same? After so many years studying and researching, what are you working on right now? Isn't it still something forbidden?!"

"The so-called forbidden martial art or forbidden drugs, they are just above the conventional ways which most people can't accept. And that's not the fault of the forbidden art or drugs, but the fault of those people!"

Pathless Origin was really unreasonable, and Night Walker sighed and muttered, "It's not the same, it's not the same… Those warlords and drug grandmasters are learning forbidden stuff because they have reached the end of the conventional path, but Han just stepped into the conventional path and you already pushed him onto the evil path…"

"Others are just walking and walking and they ultimately walked into the evil path, but for Han, he had never walked on the normal road and can only be on the forbidden path from the start to the end."

"But for real though, you didn't teach all 6 paths to Han in one go right?"

Pathless shook his head, "Nope, I just taught him the basics and didn't get to the 6 paths yet, so it's not too obvious, and he won't be caught in the Milky Way Meet."

Night Walker thought about it, laughed and said, "I was just thinking how Han got so strong. Now he has Void End, a physique capable of resisting poisons, the dark fist, and also the forbidden arts taught by you, you old monster. With these 4 ultimate level techniques guarding him, those 4-star espers are obviously not his opponent."

Pathless arrogantly laughed, "After all he's someone I mentored. I will be honest with you, the present Han can kill all 4-star espers! As long as the espers are still 4-stars, none of them will be Han's opponent!"

Then, the tone of voice suddenly changed, and Pathless looked at Night Walker with an obviously not-good intention and said, "Old Black, you are actually not mad because I taught Han the forbidden martial art right? You are mad because you didn't even teach Han how to work with forbidden drugs and I already taught Han, so you are jealous of me!"

Night Walker hesitated. He forcefully waved his sleeves, and righteously said, "I'm obviously not crazy like you. You fighters can take short cuts but what people like me do is science, and there are no short cuts in science."

Sigh~

Soon, Night Walker sighed and said, "But having said that, Han seems to be more interested in you. My pharmacological way doesn't seem to be his type."

Pathless slapped his thigh and braggingly said, "See? Now you said the truth, I just knew that you were jealous of me!"

In the Pressure Exam.

The time was a lot shorter than estimated. According to the rules, the 4th stage Medal game could take up to 12 hours, but since Han's opponents decided to group up against him, they actually all got swept clean quickly by Han. From beginning to end, Han only took 11 minutes for his Medal game.

Shua~

Han returned to the familiar square, raised his head and looked at his score. He had gotten 940 from the first three stages, and a perfect score of 1000 points during the fourth stage, so now his overall score was already 1940.

Recalling the memory of his last battle, Han felt a sense of fulfillment that couldn't be described. Looks like there was a big gap between those opponents and him.

Even if the factors like his special dark power were excluded and they were compared solely on martial arts, there was still a big gap. For some reasons that couldn't be described, Han just felt that the enemies' martial arts were all too rigid. Their moves were just moves and they lacked efficiency and flexibility.

But there was a big difference between Han and those opponents. Han seemed like he didn't know any martial arts, and all his attacks were casual and based on instinct. Many times, it was just an idea that popped up in his head and Han was able to unleash a move that other people couldn't understand.

It was just like reading book. After Han read a book, he wouldn't remember the content of the book but instead, understood the meaning behind the book.

Han obviously didn't know that the so-called Star Break Fist was actually a forbidden art called the Six Paths of the Void. To let a novice that had just awakened his power in the past year to directly learn the top level forbidden martial art, this bold attempt might be the only instance of this in the entire Milky Way history.

What can be sure was, Han already embarked on this difficult path that no one has ever tried before, and he will never be able to turn back.

There was still some time left. Han didn't hurry to attend the 5th stage, but stayed still and wondered about that last fight to see what he could improve.

Pathless was very clear when he taught Han. He told Han to let him experience and improve through battle, and Han obviously was never that type of muscular yet simple-minded fighter. He was very good at thinking and making conclusions.

After about an hour, Han stood up, and chose to enter the 5th stage from the system menu.

The same square and portal, and the same situation of many eyes focused on Han wanting to take his head to exchange for reward.

Shua~

Han didn't pay attention to others. He went straight into the portal and entered the 5th stage, the Meteor Shower.

Appearing in front of his eyes was two islands, and in between was a narrow strip of shallow water. Contestants needed to cross the shallow river and get to the other side,

Rumble~

The Earth was tremoring. The dark sky gave an oppressing dooms-day like atmosphere. Meteors started to fall from the sky one after another, and in the air floated a type of moving fire ball, flying back and forth, threatening the contestants that were trying to cross the shallow river.

And that was the so-called Meteor Shower stage. In fact, it was a lot like the previous stages, but just with a harsher environment and people were also allowed to kill each other.

It wouldn't be easy to pass the shallow river as one needed to avoid the falling meteorites, dodge the flying fire, and also withstand the malicious opponents.

In a swarm not far away, the contestants were like dogs jumping and chickens flying, jumping all over the places after being chased by the meteorites and flying fire, and suddenly there were also other soldiers jumping out to give unsuspecting contestants a stab in the back.

Han observed for a few seconds and went straight down the shallow water. The river water covered Han's waist which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of dodging threats, and the resisting force of water also slowed down the movement of the contestants.

Han was obviously not scared of the flying fire. These attacks all mimicked the ranged attacks from Fire descent espers, but Han had void end, and the fire balls flying in the air disappeared the moment it came close to Han, so he doesn't even need to dodge them.

The larger threat was the meteorite. A rock that was the size of a man's head fell down at an incredible speed and smashed into the ground next to the river. If anyone was struck by it, they will get killed right on the spot.

As for the surprise attacks from any opponents, it actually became a relatively minor threat. After all, everyone was busy dodging the flying fire and falling meteorites, there really wasn't too much energy left over for them to attack others.

Everyone's advancing direction was not the same, some tried to get from this island to that island, and others tried to get from that island to this island. After several successive waves of fighters encountering Han, they all thought for a bit and decided to not attack Han.

After all, the fact that Han wasn't afraid of the flying fire was quite strange. Those crimson red fire balls kept on hitting Han but didn't even leave a mark. This made the contestants around him wary about Han's abilities.

Faced with the double attack of the meteorites and flying fire balls, everyone naturally chose to protect themselves first. As to whether they could kill Han and claim the bounty, it became something secondary.

Shua~

A figure from behind Han passed him. He was thin, tall, and familiar, like someone he saw before.

The way he handled flying fire was shocking. When the crimson red ball flew towards him, this man actually reached out his hands to take it. Then his wrist gently turned and the flying fire accelerated out of his hand like a bullet, hitting the soldiers around him.

"HEY!"

"Damn! This guy is sneaky!"

"Don't go near him! He's a devil!"

In the blink of an eye, a dozen contestants were already shot down by the tall thin fighter in front of him and got eliminated from the race. Han was behind him, and he could see that the man's mouth gently raised to a certain angle. He was smiling. It seemed that this person was only doing this for fun, and he had no other objectives.

What's strange was, that tall thin guy would target everyone around him, but only not Han who was behind him.

"Oh, it's him!" Han carefully observed the back figure of that man, and suddenly understood why.

Chapter 71: Lan Feng

Han finally remembered. It was during the first time he accidently wandered into the Pressure Exam and was walking under the ocean. At that time, he was able to cheat due to his Void End and easily pass the round, leaving all opponents far behind him.

But there was one exception. There was a tall and thin guy that was always in front of Han, and no matter how hard Han tries he couldn't pass him. Knowing that he doesn't have Void End like and still be fast than Han, then it must be a miracle.

And this person in front of Han right now, isn't he the same person Han met during the 1st preliminary round?

Han suddenly wanted to compete against the tall and thin young man in front of him. Six months ago, Han was obviously not an opponent for him, but what about now?

Thinking of this, Han quickly sped up his pace and immediately followed that guy in front of him. But strangely, with Han's present body and top level power, he still couldn't catch up to him.

That tall and thin guy seemed to be walking very slowly, but his figure was constantly moving forward, teasing other players as he walked, catching the flying fireballs and then firing them at others. Everyone that passed him or was around him were all screwed, except for Han.

Boom~

A meteorite was rapidly falling towards that tall guy's head, and just when Han was about to remind him to be careful, he saw that man reach towards the sky and instantly caught dozens of flying fireballs.

With one hand raised high, an explosion rang out from his hand!

Dozens of fire balls flew through the air, directly hitting the falling meteorites.

Rumble~

Fire accompanied by broken meteorite pieces flew everywhere. This was like the legendary borrow power to fight power situation. The tall thin man actually used the flying fire balls he caught and shattered the meteorite, making a big scene.

Han was slightly shocked. No doubt, this guy in front of him had a powerful ability. When he reached out to catch the flying fire balls, a lot of the fire balls were still very far from him, but he just gently turned his hand and forcefully pulled over those sparks.

As for the strike into the sky, it looked very casual but actually contained a powerful force. The power of falling meteorites was obviously very destructive, yet those dozens of small fire balls was able to shatter the meteorite. That guy must have used some means that Han couldn't see or comprehend.

After fighting numerous masters from the dark net and observing countless death broadcasts, it can't be said that Han had no knowledge. But such a strange and powerful ability, it was still Han's first time to see something like this.

Suddenly, just when Han was analyzing this tall thin esper and what his actual power was, that guy suddenly stopped his steps and said to himself in a regretful tone, "Damn, I should've caught that meteorite and then threw it at the other. That would be more interesting."

Han instantly felt aversion towards this man. Catching a meteor and hitting other people with it? This guy was really strange, as Han wouldn't find that to be fun at all.

Not for long, another meteor fell towards Han, that tall thin man actually turned around for a second and glanced at Han. He had a very young face and should be younger or the same age as Han. He had a quite interesting smile on his face, as if saying, "This time you are done right? You can block fire balls but you can't block meteors."

The message behind that smile made Han quite uncomfortable. Seeing the meteor was about to hit his head, Han secretly amassed dark energy and raised his hand for a simple dark fist.

Boom~

Han made an even bigger scene this time, directly smashing the meteor into powder with simply his fist.

And the meteor explosion took place within a meter above the sea. The sound was even deeper, surging water whirled around to produce a sight that was not weaker than a tsunami.

Ceng~

The tall thin young man didn't turn around but instead stopped his steps for a second. He slightly shivered once, as if he was shocked by the big scene created by Han.

"Interesting, interesting." The young man mumbled to himself, then accelerated towards the island. Han followed him closely, although that man wouldn't lose Han, it was also impossible for Han to pass that guy.

As a result, the two people formed a situation where they secretly competed with each other.

But Han realized, it was actually him leeching off of that guy because he would always catch the flying fireballs to hit the surrounding espers, making everyone hide far away from them, fearing that they would be the next target of his fire shots.

Soon, Han and that tall thin guy arrived at the destination. When he turned around, Han saw his name, Lan Feng (TL: means Blue Maple in Chinese), he actually already reached pinnacle of the 5-star level.

In the Milky Way, it was unusual for the system to call an esper's level as the pinnacle of 5-stars, unless he was already infinitely close to the six star level. Otherwise they should all be called 5-star intermediate espers.

That means, Lan Feng's power source index was at least 900,000. No wonder Han couldn't catch up to him no matter what, the level gap is a bit too big…

Lan Feng also took a look at Han's profile, then gently sighed and said, "That's it? That was boring."

Han laughed and said, "You are so strong, on the way you ruined countless espers' future. They all worked hard and wanted to enter the final, and they were eliminated by you for no reason.

Lan Feng disagreed and said, "How can you blame me? They are so weak. Even if they make it to the finals, they might not even make it back alive. So, I'm actually helping him. In addition, they also have a second chance to come take the exam again, so if they want, they can just start over."

Han nodded, "Following you saved me a lot of trouble, thanks! But why did you attack everyone but not me?"

Lan Feng glanced at Han and said, "I find you very interesting. As for them, they bore me. Also, you have power immunity so I don't want to waste time on you."

"Oh, so that's why." Han shrugged his shoulders, and prepared to leave the 5th Stage of Pressure Exam and go to the final stage.

Lan Feng raised his head, looked at the cloudy sky, and said like a philosopher, "People, why do they force others to do things they don't want to? If I'm not some soldier or esper, then I don't need to go to the Milky Way Meet, how nice would that be."

Han smiled, "You were forced to come here?"

Lan Feng slightly nodded, and asked Han, "Are you not?"

Shua~

The two people left the exam and returned to the square together.

Han said in a deep voice, "I'm not forced to come here. In fact, if you really don't like to come here, why not just directly eliminate yourself right away?"

Lan Feng sighed and said, "If I'm eliminated, then they will say again that I brought disgrace to the Blue family."

"Who?"

"Mom and dad."

"Uh, then never mind. It's normal for parents to have some expectations for their kids, who doesn't want their children to succeed."

"I don't like it."

"Then you have to make it clear to your parents that you don't want to be a soldier, and then they might not force you anymore."

"Two months ago, I said I wanted to be a painter, they didn't agree. Last month I said I wanted to be a race car driver and they didn't agree as well. This month, I think I could be a doctor that helped others, they still do not agree. If you encounter such parents, you will also feel helpless right?" Lan Feng said very seriously.

Han gave Lan Feng the white eye, "If I'm one of your parents, I won't agree too."

"Why not? You just supported me to make it clear to my parents." Lan Feng asked, puzzled.

"Because the speed of your goal changing, isn't it a bit too fast? A while ago you want to become a painter, and a little bit later, you want to be a racer, and then you turn your head and say you want to be a doctor. That's not called a goal, those are delusions."

"But those are decisions I made after careful consideration, it's not a delusion. Didn't you ever think about what you wanted to be?"

"Yep, I want to be a soldier." Han replied without hesitation.

"And then?"

"Be a soldier."

"And then?"

"Be a soldier."

"How about when you are old?"

"Be a soldier."

"What about when you are old enough that you can't be a soldier?"

"Then I will go rent a shop and sell meat buns."

"Meat buns? What are those?"

"It's a type of food. You get a fresh-baked pancake around a chunk of hot braised belly pork, plus green pepper and cumin. It's very delicious."

Lan Fen scratched his chin and thought for a bit, "It's sounds pretty good. When I have time I want to try that."

"Haha, sure, if there's an opportunity I will make it for you."

"Ah, yes, what was your dream when you were a child?"

"Open a shop and sell meat buns."

"Then isn't that the same as your dream when you are old?"

"Ya, is that very strange?"

"Of course! Do you only have two dreams in your life? One is to be a soldier, and otherwise you want to sell meat buns?"

"Yep, you are right. I like both of those jobs."

"You are the most dreamless man I've seen." Lan Feng stared at Han and said, emphasizing every word.

Han also stared at Lan Feng, and said word by word, "You are also the most deluded man I've seen."

Somehow, Han and Lan Feng actually started more conversations, and the two both came to the square for the last test.

Han looked up and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a very familiar figure in the square, a black leather cloth that tightly wrapped her whole body, yet it was still not enough to conceal her beautiful body. Golden hair shining like the bright sun, a perfect little face, flawless snow white skin, just like a fine porcelain doll giving people a very unreal feeling.

Wasn't that Ye Weiwei?

When transferred to the last stage of the pressure exam, Lan Feng got teleported to some other corner of the square. Han thought for a moment, and walked straight to the side of Ye Weiwei. Ye Weiwei noticed Han too, and was somewhat surprised.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Han's face showed that harmless smile again, and he whispered.

Oh ho ho, and that's the last bonus chap we have in queue! Finally! Let's try something crazy this time to boost up the donation again to make some extra bucks for next school year.

Chapter 72: Meet Again

The world has always been strange, some people you see every day but you can never remember their name, but some people you just encounter by chance but you will remember for a lifetime.

When Ye Weiwei saw Han again, her heart actually felt an inexplicable surprise. Her two little paws (TL: not actually paws, just a cute way of saying small hands) immediately hid back into the pocket, afraid that they would be held on to by Han again. It was not that the feeling of holding hands with Han was terrible, but Ye Weiwei had never been touched by others before that time and she was just not used to being too intimate with others yet.

"What a coincidence haha, we meet again." Han smiled and said, and then he began to look for Lan Feng. This was so strange, just now the two were having a good conversation and in a blink of an eye this Lan Feng guy is gone?

Ye Weiwei followed Han and looked around. She curiously asked, "You are looking for someone?"

"Yep." Han nodded, "I just made a new friend. He's got an agreeable personality, but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared. Maybe he already entered the arena."

"Oh? Don't move, there is something on your face."

Ye Weiwei was shocked, but she listened and didn't make any moves, letting Han use his finger tip and gently rub her face for a moment.

Shua~

Yei Weiwei's little face became red right away. She never thought that Han actually wouldn't go for her hands this time but would actually jump straight to touching her face! What should I do! He's becoming more daring!

Han gently blew on his finger and said, "I guess it's also not good to have a skin so white, even a little dust can be seen. Although it's just dust in virtual reality, but it also has some aesthetic impact."

Staring at Ye Weiwei's little face and taking a careful look, Han lightly nodded his head and said, "That's better! Wait, why are you blushing?"

"I…I…I…" Ye Weiwei was stunned for a long time, and she couldn't make out a full sentence. No one can blame her, Ye Weiwei was too much of a special case. It was just something too normal for other people, If Han were to help other girls by cleaning some dust off of them, they might even thank him, but for Ye Weiwei, it was just too much.

"I remember you used to speak without stuttering?" Han slightly frowned, and whispered, "Don't get nervous, I won't eat you."

Finished~

Ye Weiwei's mind short circuited The saying went, there's always a counter to something and the Ye Weiwei that had always been so stubborn and arrogant now couldn't even talk without stuttering.

Both Han and Ye Weiwei looked up at the numbers on the screen at the center of the square.

The last stage in the pressure exam was called the Path to the Netherworld. An individual round started the moment it had ten thousand people, lasting an entire 24-hour period.

Participants under no circumstances were allowed to leave in advance. They must wait until the end of the test. Killing other people during the test could earn points and being able to protect oneself well will also earn points. There will be uncertain elements in the process to cause interference.

Overall, this was a big test of survival. All participants taking the test will go through 24 hours of high tension because any error may lead to the fate of being eliminated.

At the moment, the number had past 9300 people. They just needed 700 more people and they could get started on the Path to the Netherworld.

Yi Weiwei decided to quickly get away from Han and hide in the crowd because if she stayed longer with Han, who know what will happen. She had just met Han for a total of three times but as a result both her little paws and cute face were already touched by Han.

The Han that didn't belong to the pervert category, was even scarier than the worst pervert in Ye Weiwei's eyes. She's completely no match for Han and she couldn't do anything to him.

"I'm going to go take the test!"

Shua~

Ye Weiwei jumped up like a little cat and rushed into the portal with her head lowered, not even daring to take another look at Han.

Han didn't say anything. He always treated Ye Weiwei like a little girl and didn't know that his actions were absolutely ridiculous in the eyes of Ye Weiwei. Han didn't even suspect that he was the scariest figure that she has ever encountered.

Surrounded by a lot of unfriendly eyes, Han knew these were the people that were thinking of trading his head for the bounty.

"Among the ten thousand participants, there are probably a few thousand that want my head. Whatever, who cares if it's a nest of dragons or cave of tigers, I will just give it a shot. Whatever should come, will come sooner or later." Han thought.

So, Han smiled, stepped into the nearest portal into the last stage of the pressure exam.

Whirring~

Ye Weiwei clutched her heart with one hand, and opened her mouth gasping for breath. She finally managed to escape the scary Han, but there was still lingering fear in her heart.

"Damn the pressure exam, why did they make it so realistic!" Ye Weiwei's little temper began to act up again and she started to complain about the organizers of the pressure exam.

When Han held her little hands or touched her face, Ye Weiwei couldn't adapt at all. Her reactions could almost be mistaken as symptoms of a deadly illness; blushing, a quickening heart rate, shortness of breath and dizziness.

Shua~

The final stage began. Ye Weiwei got teleported to the stadium. There was one yellow dirt path to the Mirror Lake in the distance, and it was flanked by dense trees and hills.

Looking around, the contestants were all some unknown espers, no Han.

Thank god, Ye Weiwei finally eased up. As long as she doesn't meet Han, she was able to immediately resume her usual confidence. Gently smiling, taking off her gloves, she exposed her pair of extremely soft white hands. As well, the removal of her half sleeved leather jacket exposed her white, lotus like, thin arms.

The ten second countdown ended and the majority of espers around Ye Weiwei have already entered the jungle on the side to hide. There were also some relatively higher level fighters who were more audacious and confident. These ones attacked the participants around them right away in order to get higher points.

"What a beautiful little bitch, but being pretty is useless in this situation! If you want to blame, then blame the system that spawned you too close to me!"

On Ye Weiwei's right hand side, a very tall and big soldier shouted as he rushed towards her.

From the registry information, he was a solider of the Sal Republic, one of the permanent members of the Milky Way Alliance. He was at the intermediate 5-star level and could be considered to be a top-notch presence on the battlefield. That was why he had the confidence to directly attack Ye Weiwei without hesitation.

In addition, Ye Weiwei's registry information showed that her level was at the beginner 5-star level, a lot lower than that solider from the Sal Republic. She was also coincidently closest to him, so she naturally became his prey.

As long as she didn't face Han, Ye Weiwei's confidence and pride could be fully displayed. She sneered, and actually turned her back to the attacker and didn't even look at him.

The situation was very dangerous, that soldier was at least 2.3 meters tall and weighed over 300 pounds. The skinny and tiny Ye Weiwei was like a little cat in front of him. The two people were on completely different levels in physique.

At this moment, the attacking soldier had already jumped up with his arms open, transforming into something like the root of a huge tree which was gradually spreading.

Wood descent!

He was a wood descent esper!

Kacha~

Just when the vines that were originally from his hands were about to capture Ye Weiwei, a blue lightning bolt sliced down from the sky, directly striking that man in the air!

He only felt dizzy, since he was after all, an intermediate 5-star level esper with strong survivability traits from his wood descent. One lightning bolt was obviously not enough to kill him.

But at that moment, boom! Boom! Boom!

A blue lightning storm that had formed above began to attack like crazy, unleashing lightning bolt after lightning bolt! In one breath, this big burly soldier had been burned into a tall piece of charcoal. The lightning bolt shower didn't stop until his body was fully cooked!

Hengh~

Ye Weiwei proudly raised her head, and, like a majestic queen, serenely walked into the woods on the left side of the road.

A few minutes passed.

Boom~

Someone that tried to attack Ye Weiwei from the back got killed.

Boom~

Someone else that tried to surprise her also got killed.

Boom~ Boom~

Who would've thought, a weak-looking little girl could have such a terrifying ability. The thunder was like a loyal guardian looking after her, instantly striking anyone that tried to attack Ye Weiwei.

There were also a few unlucky guys who didn't even intend to attack Ye Weiwei. They became medium-rare just for being too close to her. Wherever Ye Weiwei walked, that was where people ran away like a stampede and where a trail of medium-rare to well done bodies could be found.

Ye Weiwei's pretty face displayed a little bit of arrogance. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a fierce battle in the forest ahead so she followed the noise and walked towards the scene.

Not too far away Ye Weiwei saw a clearing in the forest. 7 to 8 espers were in a battle against one, but that beleaguered person had extraordinarily ferocious close combat techniques. For someone like Ye Weiwei who has witnessed countless battles between elites ever since she was small, she actually couldn't see through that person's moves.

It seems like the guy wasn't even using any moves and solely relied on his own instincts in battle. When looking at how he was obviously about to attack the enemy on his left hand side, but the result was the fat guy on his right got crushed, Ye Weiwei was stunned.

"So interesting!" Ye Weiwei was shocked, her eyes were shining as she said to herself.

That besieged esper was simply playing out the full potential of the element of surprise, and those opponents that were accustomed to routine tactics couldn't be more uncomfortable. In addition, his fist was very hard, very very hard. As long as he punched, then it will be a critical hit! One punch was enough to break through an opponent's body!

"It's actually him!"

Ye Weiwei finally saw the face of that besieged man. It was that Han that she was most afraid of. That little arrogance that had just surfaced on her face was now completely gone. The special existence of Han was like her destined nemesis. Everyone was afraid of Ye Weiwei but only Han wasn't. Han even touched her!

"He's actually that strong?" Ye Weiwei couldn't help but think about it.

Suddenly, the number of people sieging Han reached more than a dozen people. More astonishing however, was that Han was still holding the advantage. When the enemies attacked him, he would exchange with his strange moves!

Fight to kill!

Hit every punch!

Trade eye with eye!

Only surrender in death!

Without question, Han not only had a tough fist, but h was also a master at physical combat!

In the past, Ye Weiwei only had an impression of Han's frivolous side, but now inadvertently, she also discovered Han's valorous side.

However, just when Ye Weiwei was surprised that Han was actually a formidable warrior, something dangerous approached!

Chapter 73: Before the Flowers and Under the Moon

Just when Ye Weiwei was watching Han battle against the dozen other contestants, danger approached!

Behind her, two espers hidden in the dark suddenly jumped out. One of them had the ability to transform into a beast, and he turned himself into a monster covered in silvery hair with jagged fangs and with claws like sharp knives.

"Be Careful!"

In desperation, Han yelled and suddenly rushed towards Ye Weiwei.

Anyone who knew Ye Weiwei always saw her as a scourge. After all, the lightning storm guardian was very unreasonable and high-handed. Regardless of whether someone was an enemy, anyone who got too close to her will all get sliced by lightning.

But Han didn't think that way. In his eyes, Ye Weiwei was quite weak and didn't resemble a combat-type esper, but rather a stealth or mobility type esper. Anyway, when he was with Ye Weiwei, Han never felt anything powerful or extraordinary about this girl.

Thus, something absurd happened. Han was preoccupied with a ton of enemies, but instead, he wanted to go save Ye Weiwei, who was higher level than Han, and had an ability on the same level as Han's.

Bang~

Bang~

While trying to break out of the circle, Han felt two hard punches on his back. He still manned up and acted like it didn't hurt, and rushed to Ye Weiwei's side. Showing off his solid fist, he dashed towards the two espers that were trying to attack Ye Weiwei!

Void Domain, open!

Boom~

Boom~

Han's fist landed on the two raiders like a hammer, and immediately took their lives!

Turning around, Han smiled at Ye Weiwei and wiped away the blood on the side of his mouth. He then charged right back at the dozen enemies that were ganging up on him. After waves and waves of his dark fist bombardment, the enemies that were still alive were thinning out.

Han only focused on attacking and didn't see Ye Weiwei's expression. It was a face of surprise to the extreme.

What a joke, since when did Ye Weiwei need Han's protection? However, Han came with his void domain, so he not only took away those two sneaky attackers' abilities, but also Ye Weiwei's lightning storm!

Ye Weiwei's storm guardian didn't take the initiative to protect her so the situation looked like Han playing the hero to the beauty's rescue.

And that smile Han gave to Ye Weiwei, it seemed to have some profound meaning, as if to say, "Don't worry, I'm still here."

Oh god!

The Ye Weiwei that could easily kill anyone actually became the female lead of Han's rendition of the Hero to the Rescue! What?!

"So he can take my ability!"

Ye Weiwei really did not know how to describe her feelings at that moment. When the powerful lightning storm power made her so strong, didn't it also become her burden? She didn't dare to wear a skirt like a normal little girl, have pets, and after living for this long, beside a group of loyal servants, Ye Weiwei didn't even have a single friend.

Ye Weiwei began to vaguely realize, the fact that Han could nullify her ability, could be very life changing to her.

Boom~

The power of the dark fist could instantly kill any 4-star espers.

Soon, Han was able to demolish the attacking espers. Other than two or three participants that ran after seeing the situation go sour, the majority were killed by Han.

Han deactivated his void domain and came to Ye Weiwei, who was still in extreme shock. With her large widened eyes and mouth open, at this moment she was actually more beautiful than before, but also a bit silly.

Han smiled and asked, "Are you okay?"

Ye Weiwei hastily shook her head, "I'm fine, and you?"

Han just wiped away the blood splattered on his shirt and said, "I'm fine, just some wounds on the skin."

Ye Weiwei began to feel unprecedented interest in Han, and asked in curiosity, "Why did they join forces to attack you?"

"Because of a bounty. Someone doesn't want soldiers from the Earth Federation to make it to the finals, so they placed a 2 million GC bounty on my head. Right now, I'm going to head that direction, how about you?"

Ye Weiwei looked at the direction Han pointed, and saw that it was a hilly region on the left side of the path to the netherworld. They were pretty far apart.

Ye Weiwei frowned and said, "This stage is called the Road to the Netherworld, and I saw everyone else all followed this path to get to the Mirror Lake in the distance."

Han nonchalantly said, "Who said that I have to do what everyone else does? The main path that everyone else is taking only leads to some big ass lake that I can already see in the distance. Even by standing here, I know what scenery to expect at the lake, so why wouldn't I go somewhere where I can enjoy some scenery that I can't see from here?"

"Look at the hills, and how sharp their tops are. A lot like rows of swords right? If I cross these hills, maybe I can see something even prettier than the beautiful Mirror Lake scenery on the other side."

Ye Weiwei suddenly realized that Han's logic was quite special. She thought for a moment, slightly lowered her head and said, "But after you cross those mountains, you might not see anything."

"Then I will just come back, no big deal." Han said carelessly, "If you are scared you can go straight to the Mirror Lake, just be careful."

Scared?

Ye Weiwei's little temper immediately exploded. She pouted like a kid, left the main road immediately and went towards the mountains.

Ye Weiwei felt that Han was a very special person. Not to mention his abilities, even his character was very unique. When everyone else were thinking of going to the Mirror Lake, only he wants to go climb the mountains. Hopefully it was just like Han said, that they can enjoy beautiful scenery after passing these mountains. Otherwise it wouldn't really be worth the hassle.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain and began to climb.

On the way they didn't encounter any opponents, and Ye Weiwei started to lightly complain, "There's no one here, we will probably receive a lot less points."

Due to the harsh environment in the last stage of pressure exam, espers that can survive will receive 200 points. As well, every eliminated enemy will grant 2 points. That means, if one wants to get a perfect score in this round, he or she needs to kill at least 400 opponents.

Han said in a deep voice, "We are going to make it to the finals anyways, what good will more points do?"

"A high score can prove that you are very strong." Ye Weiwei quickly replied.

Han gently laughed, "You are so naïve. Suppose I want to prove how strong I am, I will use my own strength and blood. But don't you think it's a bit childish to see how strong someone is based on the score they get in virtual reality?"

"This battle will not kill you no matter what, but the moment you join the Milky Way Meet finals and enter the Extinction Domain, that's when you can lose your life. It will be totally different than the pressure exam."

"People that can win in this virtual world can at most be said to have decent strength, but those that can truly survive in a battle to the death, that's true formidable strength!

Ye Weiwei felt that her worldview was again refreshed. What Han said made a lot of sense, the pressure exam were merely virtual battles that couldn't kill really kill people. There was still a huge difference when compared to real life or death battles.

Those true gods of war were never the ones that scored the highest in some virtual reality battle. They were powerful because of how they are undefeatable in reality!

"Could it be, he didn't even use his full strength?" Ye Weiwei looked at Han like a little fox. For someone at Han's level, his performance was already against the principles of heaven, but could that still not be Han's full strength? When he arrives at the battlefield of life and death, he could be even stronger?

Most girls have a little hero worship plot, and after knowing that Han was actually a lot stronger than she thought, Ye Weiwei's evaluation of Han drastically improved.

Most girls also liked guys who don't follow conventional rules. Han's way of thinking was very unique, and that also attracted Ye Weiwei.

Without realizing it, the two had already reached the top of the mountain. Looking down from the top, it was actually mountains covered in fields of white cherry blossoms. The petals were dancing in the air, and the scenery was unparalleled.

Among the cherry blossom forest, there was also a lake. Although it wasn't as big as the one at the end of the Path to the Netherworld, this lake was more elegant. The water was very clear with a hint of green and white pebbles could be seen to cover the bottom of the lake. It was surrounded by blue rocks, and there was a little creek from the mountain that flowed into the lake.

"So beautiful!" Ye Weiwei couldn't help but exclaimed. If it wasn't for Han, Ye Weiwei would have gone down that dirt path to the gloomy Mirror Lake.

But now, taking a road that no one else had been on before, Han and Ye Weiwei were able to see such a stunning scenery that no one else had seen before. This was all because of Han's distinctive choice.

"Hum, it's quite nice. We can just stay here till the trial is over."

"Yes!" Ye Weiwei nodded heavily. The always so stubborn Ye Weiwei, seemed to be more obedient now.

Han and Ye Weiwei came down the hill into the fragrant cherry blossom sea.

Han suddenly frowned, and whispered, "Someone's following us, don't be afraid, I got it."

Ye Weiwei really wanted to volunteer to fight that stalker, but she suddenly felt that it was actually not that bad to feel like a little girl who was being protected. After all, this was an experience she never had before.

Shua~

A shadow suddenly jumped out from the side, his two fists are covered in ice. Obviously, it was an Ice descent esper.

Peng~

Han's void domain deprived him of his ability right away, and then the dark fist followed. The one punch was enough to send that guy flying.

Ye Weiwei narrowed her eyes, quietly watching everything on the side. She suddenly felt that Han looked quite handsome when he was waving his fist around. Now that she thought about it, she never saw Han deliver a second punch on the same guy, all his enemies were killed by Han within one punch.

Beside the light blue and green lake, under the pink and white cherry blossoms, Ye Weiwei blushed and said to Han, "Umm, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Go ahead." Han was looking around. It was a habit. Although the scenery was beautiful, it was still a battlefield, and Han never dropped his guard.

Ye Weiwei whispered, "Can you continue to use your power? As in always use it, you can't withdraw it no matter what."

Han felt that this request was a bit odd, but he still nodded and agreed.

He only saw Ye Weiwei closed her eyes. She felt that her lightning storm power was actually being collected by Han. After confirming that her storm guardian wouldn't interfere, she carefully removed her combat boots, exposing a pair of white small feet and sat down by the lake, soaking her little feet in the lake.

"Hey, fish! It's a school of fish! They are biting my feet!" Ye Weiwei was very excited, and she cried out like a child.

Han felt very puzzled, and frowned, "What's the fuss about?"

"But they are fish! They are so small!" Ye Weiwei continued to yell excitingly.

Han said, "These fish are not really biting you, they are just playing with you. When animals are small they are all very playful, just like puppies and kittens. They will just seize every opportunity to have fun and play. But when they get old, they will just lie in the yard under the sun, scratching their body. So I still like small animals. Although they can be a bit naughty, but they are more playful."

After some time passed, Ye Weiwei found a nest of small birds from the forest, twittering their necks. They saw Ye Weiwei as their mother and started tweeting, asking her for food.

"It's a family of small birds! Look, so many little birds, they are so cute too!" Ye Weiwei began to fuss again, her fingers were gently stroking the little birds, and she also held them up against her face. To be able to be so intimate with small animals without wearing gloves, it made Ye Weiwei very excited.

Ye Weiwei suddenly felt way too happy today. She could actually be like an ordinary girl, taking off her shoes and soaking her feet in the lake. As well, she could use her fingers and touch these newborn little birds, my god, it was just like her dream!

"It would be nice if I had some food, they all look really hungry." Ye Weiwei placed the nest of little birds in her arms and smiled at Han and said.

Han's expression was rather strange, "Everything's virtual, after this round ends, everything will disappear, so you don't have to be too concerned about that."

"Everything will disappear…"

"Everything will disappear…"

Ye Weiwei's face became pale as she continued to repeat that sentence.

What Han said was the truth but what followed was an unprecedented feeling, making Ye Weiwei feel like she didn't want to let go no matter what. Even if it was the world's most deadly poison, Ye Weiwei wouldn't hesitate to drink it because she had fallen deeply into the desire for life, and couldn't recover herself.

Ye Weiwei looked up. She had a delicate and charming look, and her eyes were full of hope.

"Han, I want to ask you another favor." Ye Weiwei's face was hot like it was burning, and said in a begging tone.

Chapter 74: Promise

Han paused for a brief moment, "What is it?"

Ye Weiwei summoned up her courage and said, "Ten years ago they activated the A-7 Relic, so this time the Milky Way Meet will activate the A-19 for the final exam. All the contestants qualified for the final competition will all arrive early at the planet where the A-19 is located. If there's no accident, then both you and I will go. By then, I want to ask you to take me to an amusement park."

Seeing Ye Weiwei's eyes filled with hope, Han scratched his head and said, "And I thought it was something important or serious. Going to the amusement park is obviously no problem."

Ye Weiwei blushed again. Lowering her head with her small paws rubbing her clothes, she whispered, "Also, I want to wear a dress…"

Somewhere in the Milky Way, Ye Family.

Ula~

Viva~

Loud cheers bursted out of a huge room in a courtyard. The hollering and yelling was almost enough to lift up the roof.

In Han's opinion, although Ye Weiwei's request was a bit strange, it was not a big deal so he agree.

At the same time, a crowd of people with Ye family's old housekeeper as the lead were all so happy that even tears started to drop. A few of Ye Weiwei's bodyguards held together and cried out loud, and even the old housekeeper hands were shivering out of excitement.

"That Master Han is a really good man!"

"Of course, he's the savior of our Ye family!"

"As long as Miss can live a long life of happiness, I'm willing to even be a horse for Master Han!"

"Happy, I'm so happy today! Bring the wine, the good kind!"

Everyone was so happy for their Miss was going to have her first date. Even though the ones actually involved, Ye Weiwei and Han may not think it's a date, but in the eyes of these loyal servants of the Ye family, going to an amusement park had very deep meanings.

The chief of guards, Ye Xiangdong rushed into the toilet for quite a while and came out with red eyes. He found Ye Hua and said in a deep voice, "You were right. If back then I had gone my way and just captured Han, it might've actually ruined everything."

Ye Hua let out a long sigh in relief and said, "After all, our Miss has a very strong personality. If we captured Han and forced those two to be together, Miss will obviously try to resist due to reverse psychology."

"Now it's different, Miss recognized the special nature of Han so she asked Han for a date. The effect is far better than using force."

"Although our Ye family is best at using force, emotional matters can't be resolved by force. It requires a gradual process."

Generally speaking, girls taking the initiative to ask boys out was not something to be proud of. But the Ye family's situation was way too unique, who would still care about pride. In the eyes of Ye family, Han was like the last resort that could save their young miss.

So, unknowingly, Han gained a huge fan base somewhere in the galaxy. From Ye Hua to the cleaning ladies of the Ye Family, they all loved Han no matter what angle they view him from.

In the room, a tall, dark clothed, man called Ye Mi grabbed his weapon and started heading out but he was stopped by Ye Hua.

"Where are you going?"

Ye Mi said, "I'm happy for Miss. I heard that a jade and golden eagle appeared on the Fridley planet. I intend to go capture it and bring it back as Miss's engagement gift."

Engagement?!

Ye Hua sank his face. What is even happening anymore. Preparing an engagement gift right now, isn't that a bit too anxious?

Who knew, Ye Mi's plan actually received the support of the majority in the room. Suddenly everyone got excited, some wanted to go to the sky and catch birds of heaven, some wanted to go into the sea and catch fish. Misfortune basically landed on all the rare animals in the Milky Way, they suddenly were all targeted by the Ye family.

According to their understanding, since Han's power could suppress Ye Weiwei's power, then Ye Weiwei could finally touch animals and have pets. And since Ye Weiwei loves little animals, then gifting rare animals will certainly make Miss happy.

Ye Hua deliberately coughed twice, went to the center of the room, and said in a deep voice, "Y'all be quiet! I understand that you guys ae happy for Miss, but it's still too early to prepare things like engagement gifts! I'd say, we have something much more important! And that's our Miss's first date!"

Shua~

The people in the room heard that and suddenly looked dignified, as if they are going to up against some terrible enemy.

Ye Hua then continued, "The importance of this first date, I believe it's needless to say. You guys should be well aware; we must not allow even the slightest mistake!"

"Ye Xiangdong and the people from the pro-guard troops must immediately leave for the planet where the A-19 is located. Finish the arrangements for security matters, and also send our royal ace fleet for peripheral guard!"

"Miss is used to living in a house with a large garden. Considering how much Miss loves little animals and may want to hug them, our temporary housing must have a forest, a zoo, and have as many species of animals as possible. We will also need a lake no less than one square kilometer, and start breeding all kinds of interesting fish right away."

"If you can find a house that can meet these requirements then that's good. If not, then let our engineering team build one!"

Just when the whole Ye family was busy fussing over a small date, something that would deeply affect Earth was happening.

On the planet of Ganges, one of the Milky Way Alliance's twelve permanent members.

Prime minister Mo De's house, Sally Empire's chancellery Levi finally met the great leader.

In the Milky Way, the 12 permanent members reign supreme, the number of fleets owned by these twelve add up to more than the rest of the 10 thousand member countries in the Alliance combined. So, although Levi was the highly regarded Chancellor of an empire, he still needed to act like a servant in front of Mo De.

All human countries in the Milky Way were divided into four grades. The 1st grade were the 12 permanent management member countries, the 2nd grade were the 128 non-permanent management member countries, the 3rd grade had about 6000 member countries, and the 4th grade were countries like Earth called Observer Member countries, totalling to about 6000 as well.

The Sally Empire was one of the stronger countries in the 3rd grade members, but they were still a simple piece of dust for giant countries like Ganges, so Levi pulled a lot of strings in his network and sent many gifts in order to receive the rare opportunity to unofficially meet the Prime Minister Mo De.

In the spacious and luxurious living room, Levi carefully sat down across from the Prime Minister.

Mo De said arrogantly, "You propose to regulate the Earth Federation in your 57th regulatory region, what kind of country is that again? How come I don't remember a thing about it?"

Levi hastily replied, "The Earth Federation is just a trivial country with a total of only 15 billion population, and no more than 150 thousand total espers. We want to colonize and regulate Earth, completely out of the responsibility we feel towards the Alliance. The Earth Federation is weak and incompetent. Not to mention how they are constantly harassed by raiders, none of them even made it to the finals of the Milky Way Meet this year."

"The Milky Way alliance is composed of 13 thousand human countries and 100 thousand spots were given out for the Meet which averages to each country having around 8. However, Earth couldn't even find a single qualified esper, which shows that Earth is truly not worthy of being a separate member country by itself."

"Sigh~ Our Sally Empire is a responsible big country in the Milky Way Alliance, we can't bear to watch the people of Earth endure poverty and chaos. That's why we proposed to regulate Earth in its government's place. In fact, that crappy planet, they don't have the espers nor the resources, and after we take it over we will even have to make a big investment in order to keep Earth functioning, so it's really a business that will lose us money."

What Levi said was even more nice than singing. Belittling Earth to the extreme, what a treacherous politician's face.

Mo De was someone even craftier than Levi as a politician. He pretended to worry, sighed and said, "Oh, such a miserable planet. In order to help the people avoid suffering, Sally Empire is willing to lend them a helping hand, it is a really a charity."

"If that's the case, then I will just say some thing about this during the Meet conference for you. But the result will still depend on what everyone else thinks. After all, members of the Alliance are like brothers, and this isn't something that we, the Ganges Republic, can decide by ourselves."

Levi quickly stood up and bowed, "Then I must thank Prime Minister! In addition, I heard that during this Meet, the Alliance is thinking about including two non-permanent members, I don't know what the Alliance intends?"

Mo De laughed, "Your Sally Empire is naturally under consideration by the permanent members, but well, for a meal you have to eat it bite by bite. This time, it will be good enough if you guys colonize Earth. About that non-permanent member spot, you will have to slowly compete for it with the others."

Levi knew, Mo De was again trying to ask for another wide price, if you do not give him enough advantage, he will not easily help Sally Empire become one of the non-permanent members, so Sally Empire might have to empty its wallet again.

But, the matter of Earth being colonized by Sally Empire was almost carved in stone. Levi successfully acquire Ganges Republic's support. For a small place like Earth that didn't even have any connections, it is hard for them to escape Sally Empire's hands this time.

Suddenly, just when Levi was very happy with the result, a servant of Mo De suddenly came to the side of Mo De and whispered something into his ear.

Then, Mo De Prime Minister's face completely changed, he frowned and asked, "What happened? A soldier from Earth qualified for the Meet?"

Chapter 75: Nightmare

"What happened? Someone from Earth was qualified for the Meet?" Mo De frowned.

Levi hesitated, and then he quickly explained, "That can't be right? I already placed a heavy bounty to kill all the contestants from Earth, their espers should be all eliminated right now."

Mo De gently waved and said, "The Milky Way Meet Finals' name list just came out, and an esper from Earth scored 3300, and was qualified for the race as the 40,000th esper."

Mo De looked at Levi with eyes of disdain, and said in a deep voice, "If you guys can't even take care of this properly, then I guess there's still a long way for your little empire to become a non-permanent management member of the Alliance."

"You can go now. Fortunately, the score of that soldier from Earth wasn't very outstanding. You know what to do about him. If someone like Ke Lake appears on Earth again, then you don't have to come ask me anymore. After all, right now the Alliance's attention on the young talents has been stronger than ever. No one will care about a small place like Earth, but if they have an extremely talented young fighter, then all permanent management members of the Alliance will try to establish good relationships with him."

Humph!

When Mo De finished, he was very dissatisfied and left the living room. On Levi's way out of Mo De's house, his back was covered in cold sweat. He was just talking about how incompetent Earth is and didn't have a single qualified esper, yet right after he said that he was hit by the fact in the face, it was way too embarrassing.

Levi grew more and more upset, and he tightened his fists.

Sally Empire's Chancellor Levi's Exclusive Star Class Battle Ship.

On the way back from the Ganges Republic, Levi already made a mess in his office and sat on the couch sullenly.

"Who was responsible for placing the bounty on Earth espers?" Levi asked with a darkened face.

"Volga, Director of the Special Intelligence Department." Levi's secretary said in a deep voice.

"Life imprisonment, send him to the Britannia's death row." Levi angrily said, "How dare he embarrass me in the face of Prime Minister Mo De. Volga can consider his life to have come to an end."

The secretary gasped, Britannia prison was the most infamous death row in the Sally Empire, where the prisoners held there lived a life that was more painful than death. They cut off organs from the prisoners to feed beasts, and they put cannibal ants in the cell to torment the prisoners nonstop. Those were just a few usual grueling practices they used at that prison.

In short, the Britannia was not a prison, but hell!

Director Volga was considered somewhat famous in the empire, yet he was sent directly into the cruelest death row just because of an oversight. It was clear that Levi was extremely angry. Of course, to be able to become the most trusted advisor of the inhuman King Figaro, Levi was always loaded with dark moves. It was just that he hid his true nature really well, and very few people understood the truth.

When talking about the Sally Empire, most people always brought up King Figaro the tyrant, but little did they know, Levi's brutality was even worse than Figaro.

"Yes, the secret police will take of this." The secretary noted down.

"Yep, and don't be afraid to cause a scene, I also want everyone to know the fate of those that goes against the wishes of the empire!" Levi coldly said.

The secretary wrote down the words "open arrest", he paused for a second, and whispered, "Your Excellency, as for the Earth Federation, should we show them some colors too?"

Humph!

Levi sneered while grinding his teeth as he looked out the window and said, "Prime minister Mo De specifically warned us, if we want to make Earth a dead planet but also take control of it, we need to learn how to cover up our moves. Otherwise, if the Milky Way Alliance knew that we were the culprit behind all that mess on Earth, it will be a disgrace as well. Our Sally Empire wishes to become one of the non-permanent management members, we have to care about our reputation too."

"Then, are we just going to let them get away?" The secretary asked in confusion, it was very unlike Levi's usual style.

Haha haha~

Levi started laughing out loud, "Let them get away? In their dreams! I'm going to let them feel the torment painful enough for them to beg for death!"

"For all these years we want to colonize Earth, our Ministry of Intelligence also bribed a few esper traitors on the interior government structure of Earth. I will use them and cause the people on Earth to kill each other."

"Notify the covert biological and chemical sector, and send the newly developed nightmare virus to Earth. Tell them that this is a magic level drug that can quickly improve power source level."

The secretary was shocked, and then said excitingly, "Your Excellency, what a great idea! Those esper traitors on Earth always trusted us, after all, our scientific and technological level is a lot higher than Earth, and if we send the Nightmare drug to them as some magic pills, they will take it and go wild, and cause massive chaos on Earth!"

"That way, we don't need to hire outlaws anymore. We can let Earth unknowingly fall into the endless nightmare!"

Suddenly, the secretary thought for a bit and said, "But your Excellency, this way, we will destroy all of the costly eyes that we set up on Earth, is the price a little too big?"

Levi narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "Originally, I was going to leave some people alive when we colonize Earth, but now I prefer killing them all! Every last one of them! They didn't obey us, and that will be the price they have to pay!"

Walking past the empty hall, Han couldn't help but look at the sofa that were once crowded with his companions. In the past, there were 49 members, and everyone would gather in the hall for a drink every day, and chat for a bit. But now, it was just him left.

The largest #1 Training room in the base had already set up in accordance to Han's instructions a special object. A memory metal block that weighed one hundred tons. Its length, width, and height were all 5 meters.

Closing the door, Han logged onto the dark net and found Pathless.

Ever since he got back from the pressure exam, Han found himself experiencing a problem, a very serious problem. Any combat suit worn by Han, the moment Han used the dark fist, the right arm portion of the suit would be torn.

The Pathless on the screen seemed to be lost in thought, constantly rubbing his chin, and then said in a deep voice, "Now the problem is a bit serious, as you improve your grasp of the dark forces, normal level battle suits will no longer be able to withstand the force of the dark force."

"To be honest, I never expected that too. Seems like your dark power is a bit too unexpectedly powerful. Now we need to figure out the movement trajectory of the dark force every time after you use dark fist, so we need to use this piece of memory metal."

"As the name suggests, after being punched, this memory metal will remember how your dark force works. Now I already have some doubts but I'm still not sure, and we will need this experiment to find out."

"When you are ready, hit the metal with full strength, and let me see how you used your dark energy to destroy your enemies."

Han nodded and began to gather his strength.

Through long term practice, Han had already adapted to the newly acquired strength from the Dark King, and this strength was usually hidden within Han's body. To unleash this power, he must first become angry.

Witnessing his companions die, Earth suffering humiliation, whenever Han thought of the past, he always had an irrepressible anger. This was when the power of darkness began to aggregate. The stronger the rage, the stronger the power!

Shua~

Darkness poured from his fingers, slowly covering Han's iron fist.

Arm strengthened!

Dark Fist!

Boom!

The dark fist hit that piece of dark grey memory metal, and Han just saw that 100 pounds of metal immediately began to distort, rotating like a vortex. The dark energy began to spread rapidly, and the center of the metal was bursted open with a hole of at least 1 meter in diameter.

Just one punch, Han thoroughly penetrated and deformed that 100 tons of memory metal!

The originally square-shaped piece of metal, became as hideous as a monster's head.

Nazca Base, Vice-Admiral Heinrich's office.

It was deep into night, the mountain breeze whistling through the trees.

Heinrich sat at the table drinking a bottle of tequila, brewed with Mexican cacti. It was a very intense type of alcohol.

Glass after glass, Heinrich's eyes gradually turned red, and he began breathing heavily.

Spreading out his steely hard palm, there was a black capsule. The person that gave it to him said it was a powerful source energy drug. Eat it, and he will become the strongest man on Earth and easily kill Long Chuan.

Plump~

Heinrich put a little salt on his tongue, and then drank a large glass of high quality tequila.

"Become the strongest man on Earth…"

"Become the strongest man on Earth…"

Heinrich said it over and over again, and finally in the night, he started laughing madly, and swallowed that black capsule down with his drink.

Chapter 76: Strongest Man on Earth

#1 Practice Room in Training camp.

Pathless was shocked for a while before recovering, and he asked Han, "Comparing to the time in pressure exam, comparing your dark fist from then and now, how is the strength?"

Han recalled for a moment, and said, "Somewhat similar, the only problem is whether I can accurately hit the enemy's vital. As long as I hit the opponent, no one can get up."

Pathless nodded and said, "It seems like the strength bestowed by that half of the Heart of Darkness finally stabilized in your body, so it's not a question of the purity of dark forces, but the complex changes that comes after you use your dark force."

"Changes?"

"Yes, look at this piece of memory metal. It doesn't look like something that was hit by a fist, but rather like it was torn apart by the bite of a monster. When your power hits it, the dark energy began to radiate in random patterns. It's like placing a bomb into the enemy's body and then detonating it, causing a powerful strength that tears everything apart." Pathless expressed his judgement confidently.

Han suddenly came to a realization, "Now I understand a little now, it's like a powerful drill, the drill itself cannot piece the metal, but the drill rotates, and under high speed spinning it is able to crush the hardest metal."

Pathless laughed, "Something like that. Anyway, after you punch, the dark energy will radiate and tear your opponent apart, and that's what's most frightening. As for the damage of the combat suit, it's normal. When you use excessive force your dark power will also impact the combat uniform too, so the black Kylin that protected your right arm portion will also get torn to pieces."

Han was a bit speechless, "Then what do I do? In such a short time I already destroyed two combat suits, that's all money!"

Pathless gave Han the white eye, "What can I do? You might as well can just keep wearing that black Kylin suit, it's just missing its right arm portion, but the other part of the suit is still functioning. Just that pitiful amount of money that you have, it won't even be enough to pay for all the knowledge I'm passing on to you. Don't tell me you are even thinking about buying Ares-class equipment. Also, Ares-class equipment is not something you can get just with money, you also need to have enough relations."

Han was speechless, after every battle he will damage a combat suit. The cost was too high. No wonder they say that being a soldier burns through money. Just keeping updated equipment was enough to make one bankrupt.

The fact was, the Silver Moon Crescent blade was already a bit dull as well, but it could still do its job.

Rumble~

Suddenly, a sound came from the outside of the training room. Han slightly frowned, the training room had very good sound proof walls, and if the voice could be heard even from the inside, could something be wrong?

"There seems to be a bit of a situation outside, let's talk later."

After finishing, Han retrieved his dark net login program, hastily stepping out of the training room and went to the window. He only saw the base in chaos, and many soldiers were in a siege battle against a dark monster. There were even battle aircrafts circling in the sky.

"Enemy attack?!"

Han was shocked for a moment, and he suddenly ran out of the camp towards the square at the center of base.

"Do not shoot! Do not shoot! Long Chuan is still in his hands!" An officer yelled at the aircraft in the sky.

An enemy that hijacked Admiral Long Chuan?

Han rushed into the crowd, only to see the man that hijacked Long Chuan was also a solider. In a General uniform, he grabbed Long Chuan in one hand, and proudly moved forward. Soldiers were scared of hurting Long Chuan, so they did not dare to attack.

"It's vice-admiral Heinrich!" Han saw the metal plate on that man's uniform and was very surprised.

Heinrich was a very experienced veteran in the Earth Federation, as a Strength descent esper at the intermediate 4-star level, ranked 4th highest in level on Earth, why would he suddenly hijack Long Chuan, and why did he look like a demon now?

If he didn't see that metal plate on the chest, Han really would've confused Heinrich as a devil. As a Northern European Caucasian descent, Heinrich's entire body's skin and muscle had already become pitch black in color. As well, both of his eyes were radiating green light, muscles bulging, bursting through the seams of his uniform which had become torn and was now barely an old rag that hung on him.

The vice-admiral that was at least 2 meters tall before was now at 2.5 meters under the effect of some stimulus. Plus the drastic size change, he was like a giant tiger standing in a crowd of poodles.

"I'm the strongest man! I'm the strongest man on Earth!" He shouted as he was surrounded by thousands of people.

He stretched out his black hands, and his nails had grown to be like eagle claws.

Gengci~

Heinrich easily pierced Long Chuan's shoulder with a finger, then lifted him up from the wheelchair.

"Who ever dares to come close, I will kill him!" Heinrich aligned his sharp nails with Long Chuan's throat and he shouted.

In the Earth Federation, Long Chuan's position was irreplaceable. Since the disappearance of Ke Lake, Long Chuan had always been the highest level esper on Earth. He was the soul of the Earth army! He was a banner that represented Earth!

Although Long Chuan was no longer as strong as he was in the past due to his illness, the soldiers still respected him. Right now, Long Chuan had blood dripping out of his mouth with his shoulder pierced. He tried to resist the pain to remain silent, and that made all the soldiers very anxious.

"Fast, out of the way! SWAT is here."

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, then they immediately saw several brothers from the SWAT team rush out of the crowd. They weren't carrying any weapons, but had high-strength fiber rope prepared, intending to control Heinrich.

The SWAT team was one of the most powerful military sectors, specifically responsible for protecting dignitaries, implementing target killing and other dangerous jobs. All members were more than 35 years old, equipped with full combat experience, and are all pinnacle 3-star level espers or above.

The SWAT team were obviously extraordinary, all 6 people suddenly jumped out, attacking from both front and back, sharp executions and perfect coordination. If everything went well, within a second Heinrich will be tied down by 6 high strength ropes, and this riot will come to an end.

Suddenly~

Heinrich also began to move, and with a speed that no one expected!

To soldiers, aside from properties such as power type, strength, and mental strength, there was also another key combat characteristic and that was reflex speed!

No one would have thought, the mutated Heinrich would actually acquire such lightning fast reflex speed. Just when the ropes were about to land on Heinrich, he actually relied on foot movement and body flipping to abruptly avoid everything!

Not only did Heinrich avoid everything, he also took advantage of how all 6 elite members of the secret service team were in the air and attacked.

It was a typical Strength descent counter attack. Heinrich clutched Long Chuan with his right hand, and just with his left arm he drew a sharp curve in the air!

Gengci~

Gengci~

Looking at those 6 members again, their bodies were sliced open in the air, blood immediately spraying out! Even the high-strength fiber ropes in their hand were also brutally broken by Heinrich.

You must know, this type of composite high-strength fiber rope can even drag down a frigate in the air, a single strand of rope can withstand up to 250 tons of pull! The power and reflex speed that Heinrich was equipped with right now has far exceeded what he should have!

"Help!"

"Hurry and come save them!"

The surrounding soldiers rushed up to rescue their SWAT team brothers, and Heinrich surprised attacked again! Two soldiers were kicked by Heinrich, and they were sent flying right away and disappeared in the night sky.

Everyone was shocked!

Was this still Heinrich? It was simply a titanic monster!

Killing 6 pinnacle 3 star SWAT members in the blink of an eye, his power and reflex speed should have reached 5 stars already, or even higher! What was happening?

Hahahaha~

Heinrich burst into laughter, and he excitedly shouted, "Godly pill! It really is a godly pill! Now I'm already the strongest man on Earth, who dares to stop me?!"

Lifting Long Chuan up high, Heinrich showed a grim face and shouted at Han, "Long Chuan ah, Long Chuan! We acquired our power in the same year, entered the esper administration in the same year! I was never worse than you, yet I'm always beneath you!"

"When I made it to second lieutenant you became lieutenant, but now that I'm vice-admiral and you are already admiral! As well as becoming the soul of the entire Earth army! Is that fair?!"

"When we got the Atlantic Cruiser, what would I have done to be the captain of that ship. To command that frigate and guard Earth. Unfortunately, I wasn't chosen. Everyone unanimously elected you, and I didn't get a single vote! Not a single vote!"

"It's been twenty years! You were always above me! Today, I will let you see clearly! Which one of us is stronger! I am actually the strongest man on Earth! It's me! It's me! Not your run-down dragon!"

Heinrich roared at Long Chuan, but Long Chuan didn't say a single word, his eyes were solemn.

All the soldiers at the scene were all extremely angry. Why did Long Chuan become like this? For himself?

No~

He became disabled to protect Earth!

Without Han, there would already be no Long Chuan on Earth because he would've died long ago on the battle field!

Damn Heinrich, envy has made him irrational. He even wanted to attack the disabled Long Chuan?

Hahahaha~

"You guys get out of my way! I will bury this guy that had suppressed my entire life with my own hands!

Heinrich began taking Long Chuan out into the dark wilderness.

Although everyone was very angry, no one dared to stop him. One reason was that Heinrich was very strong, and secondly they were also worried about Long Chuan and feared to harm him.

Suddenly~

A slightly thin silhouette flashed out of the crowd, and blocked off Heinrich's path without hesitation.

It was Han!

To be honest, in the army, although the Tough Bone Han enjoyed a great deal of popularity, he was not someone with a powerful presence. He looked like he was an average soldier's size but slightly skinnier. He could easily blend into a crowd.

The right arm that was hiding behind Han's body, has already began gathering the power of darkness as Han said emotionlessly, "First, you won't be able to leave today no matter what."

"Second…"

Before Han even finished, Heinrich already became enraged, he didn't expect that when everyone else didn't dare to stop him, the skinny boned Han actually blocked his path.

"Just by yourself?! Even if you can deprive my abilities, so what?! Strength descent espers have always been your counter! Go to hell!"

Heinrich never really though Han could be his opponent. Everyone knew that the Void End can unreasonably take away others' power, but it was only limited to esper powers so it still had vulnerabilities.

For a strength descent like Heinrich, what's the difference between having their power taken away? It was close combat either way.

So, Void end could only place Han and all his enemies on a level battlefield and any powerful ability users couldn't even think about having any advantage over Han. However, in this scenario, if Han wants to win, he will still have to rely on his fist and fighting will.

At this moment, Han faced Heinrich, so obviously Han's power couldn't put Heinrich in any disadvantage because he originally didn't have any fancy powerful abilities.

"Careful!"

"Han, run!"

Heinrich didn't say anything, and went straight for a punch targeting Han's head!

After taking the Nightmare toxin, Heinrich's power and reflex speed were strong and fast enough for him to lunge towards Han at an explosive speed! Far exceeding the capacity of his own level!

Moreover, Han was just wearing a normal tracksuit, and his right arm sleeve was also torn apart, providing absolutely no protection. If this punch landed on Han, it would be impossible for him to withstand it!

But just between milliseconds, Han's shadow also moved.

Heinrich's tactical moves emphasized speed and also strong force and powerful strength, but Han's counter attack emphasized weird angles that went beyond conventional ways!

Nobody knew how Han did it, but his body was twisting in an incredible way, and his right fist quietly extended from his back.

The Han that never learned any formal fighting techniques, used very unconventional moves. As now, his whole person was floating in the air with his body curving like a ribbonfish.

Shua~

Heinrich's fist whistled past Han's head. It was dodged perfectly by Han, but that right fist that Han hid behind him fell on Heinrich's abdomen.

A seemingly innocuous punch, actually displayed the brutal power of darkness that defied all principles!

Darkness descent, Dark Fist!

Rumble~

Heinrich's muscular body began to explode from his abdomen! It was getting torn apart inch by inch by the power of darkness!

Bones attached to organs flew into the dark night!

One punch!

Han killed Heinrich with only one punch and ended the battle!

Until moments before dying, Heinrich's eyes were still wide open, and he could not believe that someone could shatter his body that was even harder than steel, with just one punch!

Han landed on one hand, then he did another unconventional flip and stood up straight.

"Secondly, you will never be the strongest man on Earth."

Han put up the finger towards Heinrich, and said lightly.

Normally you guys don't donate and just when I decided to try something crazy, someone donated 200$, then 100$, then a few more donations came in. Do you guys know how I felt when I opened my eyes and checked my phone? You know what, I only have 2 words for people like you, "begentlesenpai, keepthemcoming"

K, since I don't care about you guys at all, I translated for 12 hours today and got 5 chaps out. Some chaps were those long ass chapters so I was about to cry, but it wasn't physically possible because I already used up my tear storage in the morning when I saw the donations. 2 more bonus tomorrow and 1 regular. And I will be able to do one more bonus chapter tomorrow if you guys want to sponsor it.

And, yes, THE DEAL IS OVER!

Actually, not really, but I'm going to limit it to 4-5 chapters release capacity every day for now, cuz that's my limit before I can't even open my eyes anymore so ya I typed half of this paragraph with eyes closed and naked on the bed.

K bye.

Btw, thank Fabien R. and Milton E. for these 5 chaps. Fabien donated 200 which almost killed me, and Milton donated 100 which killed me. Sorry Milton, Steven R. and Ruben M., couldn't finish your sponsored chaps today. Also, Gott. M. and Cody L., dw I haven't forgot about you guys yet. Your chapter will be released with Steven R. and Ruben M. In addition, thanks Jonathan H. for your donation and kind words!

Chapter 77: The Han with a Huge Bounty

Han helped Long Chuan up. No one made any sounds at the scene, except for the never-resting wind on the plateau.

Ula~

A few seconds later the soldiers finally reacted. Loud cheering bursted out of the crowd, and everyone tightly surrounded Han and Long Chuan.

You will never be the strongest man on the planet?

What did Han mean by that?

That was no doubt the declaration of a winner. After Ke Lake and Long Chuan, the only other man that stood at the pinnacle of Earth's fighting strength was not Heinrich, but Han!

The signature unconventional way of fighting, the unique power of void end, and the incredible force of the dark fist! Han no longer had any rivals on Earth!

Han, everyone already knew. He was that Tough Boned guy, the one that single-handedly protected the South Pole relic, the soldier that killed Boss Lucas of the Thorn Birds gang, and the only one on Earth that made it to the Milky Way Meet finals.

But what was Han's rank on Earth in terms of combat strength? It had been a controversial topic. In general, most people tended to believe that Han was the leader in the younger generation, but looking at the entire planet, Talin, Long Chuan, or even Li Yu, should all be slightly stronger than Han.

But today, Han displayed his remarkable fighting power, killing Heinrich in one punch. There was no longer doubt, the Han right now was the strongest fighter on the planet!

In the infirmary, Han visited Long Chuan who got his wounds taken care of. His face was paler now, and he was whispering something to Li Yu.

Han finally felt relieved. Long Chuan cannot die because he was a symbol of the Earth Federation army, someone admired by all soldiers. Even after losing his strength, Long Chuan's status in the army remained unshakable.

Li Yu's face wasn't looking good, he slightly nodded at Han and said, "You did well! Now, the Milky Way Meet will be all in your hands, but I just got the news…"

Li Yu didn't finish and Long Chuan gently kicked him. Li Yu couldn't help by shake his head with a bitter smile and said to Han, "In short, you can prepare for the Milky Way Meet in peace. The military will specifically prepare a frigate for you, send you and the Federation prime minister Pan Yulin together to where the Meet is hosted. You don't need to worry about other things."

Han nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I will take care of my stuff, but you guys don't have to hide it from me because of how developed information technology is now. I already knew that there have been 3 cases similar to the Heinrich events that occurred on Earth in a row."

Li Yu hesitated, then he let out a long sigh and said, "It's quite unfortunate for Heinrich. He had always been one of leaders among the espers of Earth, yet he still embarked on the wrong path."

"As for the other two riot espers, they have always been scum so they deserved to die."

Han said, "I agree that they should die, but I smell something fishy here. I just finished doing a simple analysis on Heinrich's blood and found a large number of biologically active molecules in his blood that shouldn't be there. Obviously, Heinrich took some forbidden drugs which led to his mutation. While his power source index improved significantly, the mutation also affected his brain and thinking, resulting in a riot."

Long Chuan's eyes lit up and said, "Almost forgot, you know a bit of pharmacology, and my life was saved by you before."

"In fact, you didn't have to tell me that. We have already guessed who's behind all this. It's no one other than those countries that want to colonize Earth. Our intelligence department have long found Heinrich exhibiting abnormal behavior. It's just that we were his old friends so we couldn't make the final move to execute him. Looks like our hesitation actually leaded us to the worst result."

Han said, "As long as you guys have an idea then I won't say more. Looks like enemies have arranged many eyes on Earth. I feel like the quantity of harassment against Earth will just increase more and more after I leave Earth."

Long Chuan smiled. He dragged Han to his side, patted him on the shoulder and said. "Everyone has their own division of responsibility. You got us old bones taking care of our home, you just have to focus on your Milky Way Meet."

"Riot of esper soldiers, although it will bring casualties, but it still cannot shake the foundation of the Earth. My real fear is that enemies will play dirty again against you during the Meet, and if they do that, then none of us could help you."

Han replied lightly, "I understand."

Long Chuan nodded and said, "Before you go, is there anything you want us to take care of? Or do you have anyone you want to say goodbye to?"

Han shook his head and said, "No that's fine, I'm just going to the Milky Way Meet, it's not like I'm dying or something. We will go according to the original plan. I will leave right after my package arrives."

Three days passed in a blink of an eye and Han finally received his package. It contained items that Pathless told Han to bring with him, for the reason that it would be beneficial for exploring extinction domains.

Travelling with Han was the Prime Minister Pan Yulin and a few other personnel around him. The Milky Way Meet had 3 main projects, the first one was exploring the Extinction domain, then a meeting between the representatives of 13000 member countries in Milky Way will take place, Lastly, there was an award ceremony recognizing some contributions that countries made to Milky Way Alliance in the past decade.

Shua~

A Falcon class frigate carrying Han and Pan Yulin quickly left Earth's orbit. Han didn't say goodbye to anyone, because he doesn't like the atmosphere when saying farewell. In addition, as the only qualified soldier from Earth attending the Milky Way Meet, the amount of pressure on him could only be imagined.

Although Han didn't inform anyone when he was leaving, but when the ship was taking off, Han still saw his brothers at the camp gathering at the square and waving at him.

At the same time, the Centaurus, Sally Empire.

Sally Empire's Star-class battleship were all ready to go. Compared to the lonely atmosphere when Han left Earth, it felt much more celebratory when their prime minister and soldiers were leaving for the Meet. Not only did hundreds of officials come to say farewell, just the soldiers that got qualified reached 36 people, which was the most among all countries in the 57th Sector.

Pan Yulin and Hans mission was to do everything possible to keep Earth independent and not be colonized, but Levi's mission was the completely opposite.

Overall, Han went to the Milky Way Meet for the survival of Earth, but Levi was going for the benefits.

Shortly after their ship left Centaurus, Levi summoned all the qualified soldiers to his room and arranged a secret mission.

His eyes quickly scanned this group of young soldiers that represented the future of the empire. He smiled and said, "Only a few hours away from the Empire is a country called Earth, do you guys know?"

All the soldiers nodded.

Levi then said with sinister eyes, "Then you guys should also know that someone placed a one billion bounty on the only soldier from Earth that's participating in this Meet?"

All the soldiers nodded again.

"Good, I want to say, if nothing goes wrong, then after this Milky Way Meet, we will colonize Earth. If anyone among you guys can kill that man from Earth called Han, not only will you get the one billion GC high reward, but also a ten thousand square kilometers territory on Earth, plus a noble title."

All these young soldiers were shocked. Although the GC are tempting, but the title and territory was even more attractive!

After all, in the Sally empire, having that title meant they will become a noble in the future and enjoy rights that could even be passed down to future generations. It will be a giant leap, from a soldier to privileged class of an empire.

"Rest assured, this man from Earth won't get out alive from A-19."

"He's dead this time!"

Motivated by the huge bounty and reward, all the young soldiers were fired up for the mission.

Unlike the virtual environment pressure exam, people could really die in the A-19.

Far from home, dangerous prehistoric relics and countless enemies wanted his head. Han's journey has only just begun, but his path was already covered by thorns.

Chapter 78: Predicament and the People that Returned from the Distant

The place where the A-19 was located was called the Miracle Star System. It was also where the Milky Way Meet was to be held.

One week later, Han and Pan Yulin reached the periphery of the Miracle Star System. Observing from the deck window, the star had a yellow dirt colored ring around it. Countless ships of different sizes were coming from all corners of the Milky Way, and they were being guided to enter the system.

After all, the Milky Way had 13 thousand human countries. They were all gathered here for a meeting. Large or small, there were still over 100 thousand ships here. On the periphery of the star, there was an ever greater number of defense fleets.

The A-19 was located on planet 3 of the system, and planet 4 was where the representatives from all the countries will be meeting. Han needed to first land on planet 4 and wait till the relic exploration event was activated, and then he will head towards planet 3.

The Falcon class frigate successfully landed and Han followed Pan Yulin to the hotel reserved by Earth Federation, which had an appearance of a gray concrete suburban building.

From the living environment of the delegates of each country, you could see their position in the galaxy. Like the giants of the 12 permanent management member countries, they will be renting the most luxurious hotel on planet 4, or simply building a temporary luxury mansion.

But Earth and some other Observer member countries in the Milky Way Alliance lived in very cheap ordinary hotels in the city suburbs.

Han observed some delegates from other countries that were living in their hotel. They all had that same worried look. In the Milky Way, there was a hidden jungle rule that applied. After each Milky Way Meet, there were always some small weak countries that will be merged with other powers or be colonized. Presumably, their situation was no better than the Earth Federation.

Han wasn't very picky of the living environment. After settling down in the cheap hotel, he kept on discussing with Pathless Origin about the extinction domain or combat techniques, while Pan Yulin didn't rest for a moment and took his team to visit some countries that have some relationships with Earth in an attempt to get their support.

It was a silent night, morning soon arrived. Han had source energy protecting his body so he doesn't need much sleep. He left the hotel a little before dawn. He wanted first to check out the functioning of a foreign society, and secondly he had already promised Ye Weiwei to find her after he got here.

In the lobby, Han coincidently met Pan Yulin's team on their way back. They went out yesterday afternoon and were out all night, right now they looked really tired, eyes dulled, and in a depressed mood.

Seeing Han, Pan Yulin tried his best to gather some energy and have a casual chat with him. Knowing that Han wanted to go take a look at the city, Pan Yulin didn't say anything.

After Pan Yulin got onto the elevator, Han grabbed Pan's secretary Rhodes, frowned and asked, "How's the situation?"

Rhodes first looked around and saw no one. He then sighed and whispered, "Very bad. All night, we visited a few delegations that were quite familiar with Earth, but they either decline nicely or respond perfunctorily. And the Iberian Republic that had a pretty good relationship with us in the past even kicked us out."

"The grapevine says that the Sally Empire had bribed the permanent member country, Ganges, and after the start of the Milky Way Conference, the Ganges Republic will fully support the notion of the Sally Empire colonizing Earth. With our strength, we are already powerless when dealing with a Sally Empire, how can we be the opponent of Ganges."

Han in fact already had a feeling long ago, that the Earth Federation will encounter unexpected difficulties in the Milky Way Meet. But even one of the 12 permanent members Ganges supported the Sally Empire, which still surprised Han a little. After all, the Ganges republic was too powerful, strong enough to influence the Alliance's decision.

Rhodes could see Han's worry. He still tried to smile and said, "You don't have to worry about politics. We already came prepared to pretend to be a grandson and beg the grandparents."

"Prime Minister Pan Yulin doesn't give up easily as well. If these people don't work, we can still try to find others. In short, you just need to take care of the competition and don't let other things bother you. Politics have always been very dark and retarded."

Han nodded and said goodbye to Rhodes. He then took a taxi to town.

The Miracle Star system belonged to the Mang Republic, also one of the permanent managing members of the Alliance. In fact, the 38 A-class extinction domains in the hands of the Alliance, were all under the control of permanent members like the Ganges and Mang Republic, and that's why they were giants in the Milky Way.

For the humans inhabiting the Milky Way, the presence of high level relics had extraordinary meanings. These advanced relics contained enormous amounts of benefits. If you find a battleship blueprint from the relic left behind by the pre-historic civilization, how much money would that be? If you find a few Ares-class equipment, how much would that be? If you get a genetic science book that could boost the level of all the soldiers in the country, how much was that worth again?

In simple terms, relics from the pre-historic civilization was science, was strength, and, most importantly, was also money!

The 12 permanent members of the Milky Way Alliance each controlled at least 3 A-class relics, and those 128 non-permanent management member countries each controlled at least 3 B-class relics. The Sally Empire really wanted to colonize Earth because of the B-class relic. With that relic and its generated output, the Sally Empire will very likely be promoted to be a non-permanent management member of the Milky Way Alliance.

Since the Miracle System was Mang Republic's territory, then the science and technology levels, as well as the degree of prosperity was incomparable to Earth. Even the Taxi that Han took was a half-afloat electromagnet suspension model. It didn't have wheels, and its body floated half a meter from the ground, producing very little noise or vibration when driving.

As for the city Han was in right now, it had 12 billion residents in its population, so the millions of guests from all over the galaxy occupying here for the duration of the Meet had little impact on a city this size. There were gardens that were built in the sky, skyscrapers that soared through the clouds, easily accessible electromagnetic powered public transport systems, and much more maintaining the operation of a large city this size.

After Han learned about the Earth delegation team's situation, he no longer had the mood to tour around the city anymore, so he had the taxi take him directly to find Ye Weiwei.

It was not that Han was desperate for Ye Weiwei's beauty, but he had promised to accompany her for a day, and a man must be true to his words.

Ye Weiwei's place was on the other side of the city, also in the suburbs. The taxi carried Han through the city, and he rested his head on the car window, losing his mind in contemplation for the whole way.

When the taxi stopped, Han found himself facing a palatial estate with a black alloy door lock. There was a large red maple leaf flag above. Through the door, he could see the main road paved by white marble and the surrounding forest.

"So Ye Weiwei's family is quite rich." Han silently though.

He was just about to ring the doorbell when suddenly, the door opened and a group of excited soldiers appeared. They were all dressed well, and their eyes lit up after seeing Han.

"Mr. Han, come inside please!" A large dark-faced soldier immediately gestured and said respectfully.

Han slightly frowned, and he wondered how these people knew him. Could it be that Ye Weiwei notified them in advance?

Nodding, Han came in under everyone's watch, and walked a little uncomfortably into the manor.

"Look, it's Han!"

"Oh, so that's Han!"

"So handsome and you can tell he's talented!"

"What a virtuous and talented person!"

"He seems a little skinny though."

Shua~

All the colleagues glared at the soldier that complained about Han being a bit too thin, and he quickly drew his head back in fear.

This scenario was all too weird. Suddenly so many people came out, there was all kinds of people, from guards to aunts that were sweeping floors. They were all looking at Han, and continued to secretly mutter to each other. Han felt like a monkey in a zoo…

The Milky Way periphery, inaccessible wilderness star sector.

A beaten high-level assassin class expedition cruiser finally left the transition channel.

Advanced expedition battleships were designed for distant galaxy exploration. It was equipped with a durable structure forged by lightweight metal, four sets of transition engines, a hibernation system, a vegetable growing system, complex multi-track radar system, and a series of top-level equipment designed for distant exploration.

At the moment, this extremely expensive ship looked a bit embarrassing. The energy protection device was broken. Even the armor plating was opened by some attack, and the warship's final protection layer structure was exposed in many places.

Without a doubt, this ship suffered a large scale siege, and it was able to barely escape with one last breath. After a long journey of unimaginable danger, the ship was already crumbling and began to fall apart.

In the Assassin class expedition ship's cockpit, there was only an old man, with a long beard that hasn't been shaved. He hasn't bathed for a long time, exuding an unpleasant odor.

Gengci~

The old man used a red injection on himself, and his eyes glowed with renewed life. Looking around the cockpit, there were a lot of red maple leaf marks. It seemed like the exact same one as the symbol in front of Ye Weiwei's house.

The old man stood up, and pressed buttons nonstop to set up the next flight destination. He then became tired and lied down on the chair.

Whirring~

The old man breathed heavily before he pulled out a holographic picture from his pocket. There was a very fine, very beautiful girl, dressed in black leather with a lovely smile. Wasn't that Ye Weiwei?

The Ye Weiwei in that photo was from a few years ago when she was just a little girl, and now she was a teenage girl that had just discovered love.

The old man's cold face suddenly became soft after seeing Ye Weiwei. Then, his eyes resumed the previous perseverance.

"I can't die here."

"I must get back before the Milky Way Meet, or else it will all be too late!" The old man continued muttering.

Sorry guys, I have a very drunk gf to take care of. I'm also recovering from yesterday's crazy translating experience. I will just keep my mellow pace of 1-2 chaps per day for the next few days so you guys can donate if you want. I will take a good break, and next week I will be ready for another challenge of "one day rush"

Chapter 79: Good News and Bad News

"Han!"

Ye Weiwei waved in excitement from the window, her face was a bit red.

Han smiled, and waved at Ye Weiwei too.

Boom~

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning came straight down from the sky and landed right on a maple tree beside the palace. The tree was killed immediately, and bursted into flame.

A few guards of the Ye family jumped out to put out the fire. It was like chickens flying and dogs jumping, while Ye Weiwei was like a child that did something bad, said sorry, and quickly hid her head back into the room.

Han was a little stunned, because it seemed like this thunder was caused by Ye Weiwei. He looked up and saw a big sun in the sky, so he had no idea where that damn lightning came from.

The old housekeeper Ye Hua invited Han into the living room. The luxurious furnishing of Ye family palace still left Han amazed. From the crystal chandeliers to exquisite style furniture, marble floors on the ground, everything was top-grade stuff.

The maids offered tea, and secretly glanced at Han. Some chit chat behind the back was unavoidable. Han was already used to it. It seems like everyone from the Ye family knew him.

Thinking for a moment, Han asked Ye Hua, "Just where exactly did that lightning come from?"

Ye Hua sighed, and said honestly, "That's because of Miss's ability, the lightning storm."

"The Lightning storm belongs to the top tier of defense type abilities. Our Miss Ye Weiwei has both lightning bolts and storm, offering double the protection against anyone who wants to attack Miss. They will be instantly annihilated by the two elements."

"Unfortunately, the lightning storm power isn't stable, and sometimes it even attacks people that didn't intend to attack Miss. Just because they are in close proximity to Miss they will get attacked too."

Boom~

Just as Ye Hua finished his sentence, they heard a loud clap of thunder upstairs. Instantly, the scene with reverted back into the one where everyone was like flying chickens and jumping dogs again.

Ye Hua pointed upstairs and said reluctantly, "Look, that's the lightning storm. It doesn't give any warning. The moment Miss doesn't wear special type of gloves, Miss can injure others anytime anywhere."

Han started laughing on the inside, Ye Weiwei's power was really a mess. No warning, no rules, and no one knew when Ye Weiwei will hurt others nor when she won't.

When Ye Weiwei said before that she wanted to go to the park with Han and wear a dress, Han thought this girl might be into him, and now he suddenly realized, this might actually have nothing to do with love, she's just using his Void End power to suppress his lighting storm to avoid hurting other people and cause chaos.

Thinking about that, Han said to Ye Hua, "Sir, I understand. How about you let me go wait outside of Miss's room, I will activate my domain, that way when's changing into her dress she won't hurt others."

Ye Hua was very happy, and he quickly replied, "That would be nice!"

So, he and the guard captain Ye Xiangdong accompanied Han to the door of Ye Weiwei's room, and Han used his power and summoned a domain with 10 meters in radius.

"This is void end!" Ye Xiang Dong realized that his power suddenly disappeared, he was stunned and he quickly asked.

Han nodded, the Milky Way Alliance will publically display each contestants' profile. Everyone will know sooner or later so there was no need for Han to hide anything.

"Fantastic! It's better than I thought!" Ye Xiangdong grabbed Han by the shoulders, "Your power can suppress Miss's power for sure!"

Cough* Cough*

Ye Hua deliberately coughed twice, and Ye Xiangdong just realized his own gaffe, so he apologized and backed to the side.

"It's Void End! Han's power is Void End!" In the yard, someone screamed out, and everyone immediately became excited.

Ye Hua said to Han in embarrassment, "Miss never got to wear a dress since she was small. Today she can finally go out like an ordinary girl so everyone in the family is very happy for Miss."

Shua~

From Ye Weiwei's room, two little girls in maid uniform sprang out, they greeted Han and Ye Hua in excitement and said, "Miss is ready, she will be out in a second."

"Miss look really pretty today!"

Right after that sentence, another two young maids pushed the shy Ye Weiwei out of the room. Han suddenly felt his eyes lit up when he saw Ye Weiwei in a pure white dress. It was short, not even reaching her knees, exposing one pair of soft white slim legs, and her feet were in flat white shoes.

Ye Weiwei seemed to have some makeup on as well, the very delicate kind, not gaudy. The dress was sleeveless, and it exposed a small area on the back, as if trying to emphasize sexiness.

"Why are you guys pushing me?"

"This dress isn't pretty, let me put on the long dress." It was Ye Weiwei's first time wearing a dress, on top of it being in front of outsiders so she was a little embarrassed and muttered.

"Miss is already a big girl, of course you should dress a bit sexier."

"This dress is Miss's favorite, Miss often secretly wears it in the room when alone. Don't think that we don't know."

"Mr. Han, do you think our Miss is pretty?"

Ye Weiwei's group of maids were very naughty. Han smiled and said, "It looks quite good, don't change it."

"Really?" Ye Weiwei tipped her head a bit and asked.

"Yep."

Ye Weiwei let out a long breath, blushed, and ran downstairs. Just after she ran a few steps, she stopped again and said in a silly way, "I almost forgot, I can't be too far away from you."

After spending a bit more time at Ye family's palace, Han and Ye Weiwei finally hit the road. The group of naughty little maids all bowed to Han, and said in unison, "Mr. Han, our Miss will be in your hands!"

Everyone in the Ye family all felt great relief. They watched Han and Ye Weiwei leave the manor, and those that were sentimental even secretly cried.

"Where do you want to go first?" Sitting in the car, Han asked Ye Weiwei who was sitting across from him.

"I want to go to the water park first, then the zoo, then go do a bit of shopping, eat ice cream, and in the afternoon we will go to the ocean park, watch a movie, and go horseback riding…"

Ye Weiwei looked forward to this day for too long, she had planned out everything she wanted to do a thousand times since a long time ago. After Han asked, she started going on and on about the things she wanted to do.

Suddenly, she realized that she might not be considering Han's feelings, so she whispered in embarrassment, "Do you think that's okay?"

"No problem." Han's smiled and said softy.

After watching Han and Ye Weiwei depart, housekeeper Ye Hua went back to his room and poured himself some wine. For the whole lifetime that he served the Ye family, today was his happiest day.

Suddenly, just when half the glass of wine hit Ye Hua's stomach, a guard rushed into his room, and said in a deep voice, "The Lord wants to talk to you. He's on the emergency communication channel!"

Ye Hua was shocked, he quickly put down the glass and opened the interstellar encryption communication device.

The screen flashed for a few seconds and Ye Hua finally saw the Lord of the Ye family, which was Ye Weiwei's grandpa Ye Guhong.

"Lord, what happened to you?!" Anyone could see that Ye Guhong was not in good shape, Ye Hua asked nervously.

"I'm fine, where's Weiwei?"

"In the Miracle system, preparing to go to A-19 relic tomorrow."

"Okay." Ye Guhong nodded, let out a long breath, "That's good, that's good, at least I made it. Take Ye Weiwei home right now, don't let her go to the Extinction domain anymore."

Ye Hua hesitated, and asked in confusion, "Now? But Miss going to the relic was something you personally agreed to. If you ask her to go home right now, you know Miss's temper."

Pa~

Ye Guhong slammed the desk, and said in a tone that didn't tolerate any resistance, "No negotiation! Even if you tie her up, you have to send Ye Weiwei home! There's absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter."

Ye Hua thought for a second, and said in a deep voice, "Lord, I trust your decision, but can you wait until tomorrow for us go to back home with Miss?"

"Why?"

"Because today Miss has a date."

"Date? What nonsense?! Weiwei has the lightning storm. The slightest mistake will hurt the innocent! I don't care how many unrelated people will die, but Ye Weiwei will feel guilty because of it. What should we do if she becomes traumatized?!" Ye Guhong asked in a severe tone.

Ye Hua said in a deep voice, "Lord, you were not home in the past few years so you might not know. The guy on a date with Miss has the Void End power. He can completely suppress Miss's lightning storm, the things you were worried about will not happen."

"Void End? It's Ye Shuihan?! That old monster is actually still alive?!" Ye Guhong was severely shocked, but he recovered quickly and scratched his chin and said, "Fine! If you count, Ye Shuihan's even older than me! During the life time he got married with 30 wives and those were just the ones I knew about. But if Ye Weiwei really wants to, I won't say anything. After all, the situation our family is in is a bit special, we don't have any choice."

"As for those other wives and kids of Ye Shuihan, to avoid trouble, I will just send someone to secretly kill them."

Ye Hua started dying of laughter on the inside because of how Ye Weiwei's issue had deeply troubled the Lord. Now Ye Guhong even agreed to marry Ye Weiwei to Ye Shuihan, that kind of infamous old grandpa.

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Lord, this person is only 17 years old, not Ye Shuihan. He just coincidently has the same power as him."

Ye Guhong heard this and tears came running down his face. But then, he pondered and felt something odd, his eyes became wide open and he asked, "Could that person be a girl? Sigh… our family's situation, it's difficult. But if Weiwei really wants to be with a girl, that… that's not unacceptable, at least she can be with someone."

Gengci~

Ye Hua almost started vomiting blood. Only members of the Ye family knew their difficult situation, and that left Ye Guhong very cranky and sometimes crazy. It seems like it's very difficult for him to believe that such a man that perfectly matched Ye Weiwei existed.

"Lord, to tell you the truth, this man's name is Han, 17 years old, from the Earth Federation with the power Void End. He's not some strange old grandpa, nor a girl. In my opinion, he's actually pretty suitable with Miss." Ye Hua explained.

Hahahaha~

Hahahahaha~

Ye Guhong was stunned for ages, and he started laughing like no tomorrow, he couldn't believe his eyes! This surprise is too big for him!

But after laughing too hard, Ye Guhong's body began to suffer great pain again. He held on to his heart, and sweat drops as big as peas began to fall. At the same time, the communication screen suddenly became blurred too.

"Oops, the communication system's about to die!" Ye Guhong was shocked and yelled loudly, "I'm still haven't returned to the Milky Way yet, so I can't access the public Wi-Fi. You must do what I said, and take Ye Weiwei home tonight! This is an order!"

Ye Hua was also very nervous, "Lord, why don't you let Miss go to A-19? Could it be that you got some bad news during your journey?"

Ye Guhong nodded heavily, his face became very difficult to see.

Unfortunately, just when he wants to tell the truth, the communication was interrupted, and the screen turned dark.

Chapter 80: The End of Fate

Deep into the night, the maple trail in the city, under the dim street light.

Ye Weiwei sat on the grass beside the river. Under the cover of Han's jacket, she smiled and asked Han in excitement, "You are terrible, what did you give that guy to drink? I saw his face turn green!"

Han said lightly, "I just put a splash of frost arrow toad saliva in his wine. It's not poisonous but even espers will inevitably have diarrhea because of it. Who would've thought that he was that weak and ran straight for the toilet within a few seconds of drinking it."

Hahahaha~

Ye Weiwei laughed happily, "Awesome, awesome! Bad guys like him really need to learn a lesson. We will watch and see if he will still dare to act so frivolously towards me. Your way is better, teaching him a lesson but also not hurting him. If it was Ye Xiangdong and the Ye family bodyguards, this guy will certainly not be going to the Extinction Domain tomorrow."

"But then again, why do you carry frost arrow toad saliva with you? As well as that little silver needle, it's probably not legal too right?"

Han shrugged his shoulders, "A senior told me to carry these things with me, and I've got a huge bag full. The frost arrow toad saliva is like a beginner level existence among those items. That senior said what's most terrifying in the extinction domain is not the dark beasts, but humans."

Han's so-called senior was Pathless. With the help of the dark net, he bought tons of wicked gadgets for Han and said that they will come in handy in the A-19. Han specially prepared a bag to carry them all.

Ye Weiwei had a little drink, and nodded as if she understood but didn't understand. "That's right, the A-19 is one of the more dangerous relics among all the A-class relics. In addition, the moment you enter the domain, the Milky Way Alliance's law can't regulate the soldiers inside at all. Murder, robbery, these things are very common. Most of the soldiers weren't killed by dark beasts but by the hands of other humans."

Suddenly changing topic, Ye Weiwei's pair of little paws held onto her chin. She tilted her head, and the pair of jewel-like eyes narrowed and looked at Han. She whispered, "Thank you for accompanying me to so many places today, how can I thank you?"

Han smiled, and asked back, "Did you have a good time today?"

"Yep!" Ye Weiwei nodded heavily, "This is the happiest day of my life! I will always, always remember it!"

Han replied, "As long as you are happy. Originally, I had a lot of things on my mind too. But seeing how happy you are today, I'm also relaxed now, so you don't owe me anything."

Ye Weiwei frowned and said, "That being said, but…"

"There's no but. It's not early anymore now, I will send you home." Han gestured like a gentleman towards a taxi.

Don't know when it started but the stubborn Ye Weiwei began to listen to Han. Maybe it had something to do with Han's power. Ye Weiwei couldn't leave Han at any time during the date. Otherwise, no one could predict what kind of tragedy she will cause.

Maybe it has something to do with Han himself. To Ye Weiwei, Han was very special. He didn't compliment and obey her like everyone in her family, nor would he act prudish in front of her. For instance, Ye Weiwei said she wanted to go check out a nightclub, and Han took her straight there. That had scared the crap out of Ye Xiangdong's guards, but luckily nothing bad happened.

Ye Weiwei had a look of excitement as she followed Han into the car, her mind was full of the things they did today. The feeling of wearing a dress was quite nice, and it felt even better to be able to hold little animals in her arms. Comparing today to the lonely desolate life she lived before, was the difference between heaven and earth.

Ye Weiwei stole a glance at Han. He was quite thin, somewhat like a gentleman, not very handsome nor ugly, but he seemed to become more good-looking after she spent more time with him.

"Today you took care of me, and tomorrow after you enter the relic, you will know how lucky it is to have me by your side. You little brat, actually carry a one billion bounty on your head, don't think that I don't know, you were worried about that right?" Ye Weiwei was a little proud, and she whispered in her heart.

Ye manor's lights were all on, as the car stopped, Ye Weiwei got off the car and her eyes were wide open.

From the housekeeper Ye Hua to the captain bodyguard Ye Xiangdong, her personal maid Rain and Bamboo, everyone had already packed on. Several frigate battleships were parked in the space in front of the palace, and they were preparing to take everyone to the periphery of Miracle system to meet up with Ye family's main fleet that were on standby.

Ye Hua lightly sighed, walked to the side of Ye Weiwei and said in a deep voice, "Miss, the Lord has come back."

Ye Weiwei was suddenly shocked, she looked around and said, "Grandpa's back? That's a good thing, but you guys…"

Ye Hua said, "Miss, Lord ordered, he wants us all go home and unite with him. So, while you were out, we already packed up everything. Let's hit the road."

But!

But!

An anxious look appeared on Ye Weiwei, she looked around and then looked helplessly at Han.

Han smiled, "Since it's your grandpa telling you to go home, then you should go, don't let the elderly worry."

When he finished, he gently nodded at Ye Hua and Ye Xiangdong, and turned around and prepared to leave.

Ye Hua thought for a second, and said in a deep voice, "Our Lord wasn't too clear when he gave us the order, but from my past experiences of serving him, he probably received some intelligence and thinks that the A-19 isn't safe. That's why he gave that order."

"Han, our identity, you should've guessed already right?"

Han nodded, pointed at the red maple leaf at the gate and said, "As far as I know, only one family in Milky Way uses the red maple leaf as their symbol."

Ye Hua said, "Yes, and I will solemnly inform Mr. Han, please avoid going to A-19. Firstly, it's because of our Lord's warning. Secondly, it's because you carry a huge bounty, someone doesn't want you to leave the relic alive."

Ye family's manor became unusually quiet, of course Ye Weiwei's not going for sure, but people of the Ye family didn't want Han going as well.

"Can you not go too? My grandpa's words are always very accurate." Ye Weiwei felt very nervous and she said with an almost pleading voice.

Han smiled as he started walking out, and joked, "I can't not go, it will be difficult for my home."

Shua~

Ye Xiangdong suddenly appeared in front of Han, he was Ye family's loyal guard, very single minded, so he already had the idea of tying Han with a rope and lock him up until the Meet was done.

Han looked at Ye Xiangdong, then looked back at Ye Weiwei, and said lightly, "I'm also a man, there are things that I need to do and no one can stop me. It was our destiny that we met as friends, so don't force me to raise my weapon."

Ye Weiwei was suddenly shocked, as if she just got struck by lightning. Ye Xiangdong didn't know what to do as well, because he saw that decisive look in Han's eyes.

Han went around of Ye Xiangdong, and still left.

"Tell Grandpa I'm not going home; I'm going to the A-19." Ye Weiwei's little princess temper surfaced again, she puffed her cheeks and said.

"Please return, Miss!" Ye Xiangdong said on one knee.

"Please return, Miss!"

"Please return, Miss!"

Everyone kneeled down and started begging Ye Weiwei.

Boom~

A lightning bolt struck down, brightening up the dark night. The guard that got struck didn't say anything and collapsed onto the floor.

The more emotional Ye Weiwei got, the faster lightning struck down at the people around her, but still no one dodged.

Ye Weiwei hung her head down in despair. Little Rain the maid hastily put the isolation cloak onto Ye Weiwei. Right now, Ye Weiwei was gently sobbing. She turned her head, and looked at the direction where Han disappeared into the night.

Such a wonderful day, but it was just one day, and it ended…

Han returned to the hotel, Pan Yulin's diplomatic team still didn't return, still working outside, begging those politicians from other nations in Milky Way.

Han was very clear, diplomacy won't be able to solve Earth's problem, but he didn't have the heart to say anything to Pan Yulin. After all, they were so hardworking, and they were willing to lower their status to the lowest for Earth.

When Han opened his room's door, the midnight bell just sounded. Han suddenly felt like his story with Ye Weiwei was much like the fairy tale story of Cinderella. When midnight came, everything went back to normal.

"This girl was actually someone from the legendary Ye family." Han shrugged his shoulders and said to himself.

But soon, he forgot about Ye Weiwei and the Ye family. After all, who Ye Weiwei was wasn't important to Han right now. What was important was the life and death situation he would be facing.

Logged onto the dark net, Han saw Pathless. This should be the last time they meet before going into the extinction domain, inside the relic there won't be any communication signal, so his fate will all be in his own hands.

Pathless started spewing out information regarding every topic from the structure of the A-19 relic, to the possible danger Han might encounter inside the relic. Unknowingly the sun had come up, and Han took out his backpack from under the bed.

"Run, your only way out is to run nonstop! Don't stop no matter what happens, until you run out of the area where the crowd is gathered. Remember, inside extinction domains, humans are the most dangerous existence. You would rather run into the nest of thousands of dark beasts, instead of staying in a place crowded with humans. Do you understand?" Pathless said seriously on the other end of the dark net.

Han smiled slightly, raised his backpack with one hand and said, "Rest assured, I have this. If they want to kill me, it won't be easy."

Turning off the computer and carefully hiding the dark net login program in his necklace, Han carried his backpack and left. He headed towards the assembly point for the relic exploration stage of the Milky Way Meet.

Chapter 81: Disaster Mode, ON!

In the Miracle system, at the portal that connected the 4th planet from the 3rd planet.

Now, the square beside the portal was being heavily guarded. If someone wanted to enter they must go through DNA testing. There was a high tower on the side of the square closer to the portal where the twelve representatives of the permanent member countries were seated.

Han carried his bag into the square, found a remote corner and stood there. About 100 thousand soldiers will enter the extinction domain. The majority of them don't have alternate dimension storage, so they were all carrying bag of varying sizes, and Han wasn't really conspicuous in the crowd.

However, this situation did not last long. Many fighters held a photo of Han and were looking for him. After all, his head was worth a billion GC which was without question an enormous share of wealth for young espers. As long as they could kill Han in the relic, they can live the rest of their lives comfortably.

Han didn't try to hide because of this. The world has always been this way, whatever should come will come eventually, and there's no way around it. Prior to coming to the A-19, Han was already clear of the situation he would be facing.

Time passed slowly. After about an hour, all contestants finally gathered, and those representatives of the 12 permanent member countries sat on the high stage, looking at those present young people from above.

Because the Milky Way Meet was held on Mang Republic's territory this time, it was Prime Minister Doyle who was asked to give the speech.

First, there was obviously a speech encouraging young contestants to fight bravely, but when Doyle got to the most important part about rewards, everyone at the scene raised their ears and started to them listen carefully.

Doyle with the goatee said with a smile, "Now, we will get to the rewards which you guys all care the most about. As everyone knows, A-7, A-19, A-21, these three extinction domains have always been the battlefield for you young people. Where the young espers of Milky Way spread your wings and get recognized by the entire Milky Way!"

"Besides fame, we also prepared generous rewards for you guys!"

"The rules stay the same, all blueprints, pedigree, intelligent tools, must be handed to the Alliance, the rest of the loots will be divided equally between you and the Alliance! Things like plants and minerals, regardless of how much you bring out, they all belong to you!"

"Among the 3 relics that only allow young espers to enter, A-19 has the highest output of goods. Everyone here is extremely lucky. From the first day this relic was opened, as long as they got out of there alive, no one has returned empty-handed!"

Everyone began to get excited, taking such a big risk to enter the ruins, honor was one thing, but more people came here for the benefits. As to the distribution rules, to be simply put, the most important output needed to be handed to the Alliance, the second most valuable output will be divided between the Alliance and the contestant, and the least important ones will be given to the espers.

With a sudden change in tone, Doyle said seriously, "Since things like blueprints, even if you take it out of the relic you will have to hand them to the Alliance, you guys might think that it's meaningless to even go look for these."

"But if that's the case, then you will be very wrong. As long as you can bring out the blueprints, any future profit that comes with the blueprint, you will earn 2% of it. In addition, the final ranking for this exploration will be based on the quality and quantity of loots that you can bring out."

"According to the latest rules of the Alliance, the rewards of this exploration event are doubled."

"The first 300 soldiers will each receive a frigate as reward! The top 100 soldiers will gain a destroyer as reward! The top 30 soldiers will be each rewarded a cruiser! The top 10 will each be rewarded a battleship! The top 3 will each be rewarded a Dreadnought ranked battleship! The first place esper will be rewarded an aircraft carrier!"

WOW~

This time the atmosphere became thoroughly boiled, the soldiers were screaming as if they got chicken blood injected into them.

The reward specification exactly doubled! Last time, Ke Lake came in 9th place and was only rewarded a frigate, and if he's ranked 9th this time, he would've gotten a battleship!

Battleships were the absolute main force of all major imperial fleets, costing a few hundred million or even more than a billion GC!

As for the Dreadnoughts rewarded to the top 3, it was the enhanced version of battleship-class starships, one ship could carry one hundred thousand crewmembers, and it costed tens of billions of GC!

As for the aircraft carrier, among the 13 thousand human nations in the entire Milky Way, no more than 30 were in possession of one. The majority were under the command of the 12 permanent members, and its cost was not less than 50 billion GC!

The Milky Way Meet this year was actually preparing to reward the first place esper a powerful aircraft carrier? That was no longer a matter of money, because carriers required the most advanced technology out of all the battleships. Only the 12 permanent members could manufacture these high level ships. Although other countries also had carriers, they were all given by the 12 permanent members.

Han smiled, if you take out a blueprint you can earn 2% of the profit, this was equally amazing. In theory, if the blueprint was for an advanced piece of artillery, then if people manufactured it and sold it in the future, you could earn probably around a few hundred thousand GC for each unit, and if they make ten thousand a year and make billions of GC of profit, then you can earn a hundred million as well. It will be the same digits of earning every year from then on.

The Milky Way was really a place where profit comes first. Every pressure exam, billions of young soldiers put their lives on the line just to get into the finals, totally disregarding the risk of dying just for this enormous potential profit.

At the square, all soldiers were fired up, maybe because of the attraction of enormous interests, the attention on Han decreased a bit, but that was still not good. Among the 100 thousand opponents, even if there was 10 thousand, a thousand, or even a hundred people that were deliberately wanting to kill Han, that was already enough for him to deal with.

Doyle felt that the atmosphere and moral had been pumped up to a good level. He raised his hands up high to gesture silence, and said in a deep voice, "Now I, representing the Milky Way Alliance, officially announce the A-19 Extinction Domain exploration event has begun!"

"There's only one road ahead of you guys, and it is the advance bravely!"

"The entire Milky Way is watching you guys! And looking forward to your wonderful performance!"

"Representing the most outstanding espers in Milky Way, I believe that you are all the best!"

Huuuu~

When the portal was activated, the giant army of 100 thousand espers entered, following the order of the score ranking of the previous pressure exam. Han was coincidently in the middle, but the ones at the very front are those espers that were ranked low. After all, in the extremely dangerous extinction domain, putting the weakest at the front was meant for them to be used as sacrifices.

But at this moment, everyone has all been dazzled by the bright future portrayed by Doyle, no one could stop them, and they were all fighting to get in first. No one realized that in the past exploration events, the survival rate was never higher than 50%. In other words, out of the 100 thousand participants, at least 50 thousand will die inside the extinction domain.

Han followed the crowd and entered the portal. The technology used to construct the portal was kind of like the transition engine, and it was also setting up a channel between the two points. It was just that this portal, called a star gate, was fixed in position.

The circular center of the star gate was the intermediate point between time and space, like a water curtain, people won't feel anything crossing, but the scene in front of them will suddenly change.

Han found himself by the side of a deep cave going down, a few meters in front under his foot was a bottomless pit, and above sat four giant sculptures.

The sculptures were over ten thousand meters high, depicting the image of four soldiers. They all inserted the sharp sword in their hand into the cave. With cold eyes, one of them were occupying the north, south, east, and west corners. All the soldiers coming in made the scene reminiscent of ants at the food of four gods, being tightly stared down by them.

What surprised Han more was, the method to entering the relic is was actually jumping straight into the abyss!

He just saw those overly excited young espers shouting loudly, then suddenly jumped into the bottomless abyss, soon disappearing into the darkness.

What should come will eventually come, and now that he was already here, why the hell was he still hesitating?

Han gritted his teeth, went back a few steps, then suddenly exerted force through his legs and started sprinting.

Rushed into the air, Han quickly grabbed something back from his backpack and held it in his hand.

Pop~

At the same time, he also opened the automatic drug kit that was tied to his left arm.

One hundred thousand young fighters have all entered the star gate, and all 12 representatives were preparing to leave. Each of them had a laptop with them. A number and a map full of red dots on the screen showed the number of survivors in the A-19.

In extinction domains, communication signals were blocked, and the only useable signal was a life signal, which collected the life ripples of soldiers to predict how many soldiers were still alive.

On the screen, the red dots were rapidly decreasing, each red bot represented the life of an esper. Maybe they were killed by dark beasts, maybe they were murdered by other contestants, or unfortunately stepped on a trap in the relic and died. Other than the witnesses at the scene, no one could possible know.

"Isn't this speed a bit too quick! The A-19 was just activated for a minute, and we already lost 1000 soldiers?!" Prime Minister Owen from the Griffith Federal shouted in a hoarse voice.

Not just him, everyone had noticed that the death of soldiers in this event far exceeded the past exploration events. About 20 thousand espers jumped down the cave, and of those people, 1300 instantly died from something.

"It just passed 3000! Shit! Something's not right! We must stop those soldiers that got into the star gate but haven't jumped into the extinction domain yet. There seems to be a mutation inside the domain!"

"Stop those who haven't entered? Then what happened to the people that already entered? Leave them to die?!"

"We can first investigate the situation to see what's wrong first, then let the remaining group enter. The situation right now is very abnormal; the fatality rate is exponentially higher than the rate in the past!"

"Stop arguing! Just when you guys were talking, we have already lost 5000 soldiers!"

"That can't be right! 3 minutes, 5000 people?! Don't they know that when they just entered the relic, they need to team up and kill enemies instead of starting to kill each other?!"

No one answered, the entire scene was silent.

How did those participants not know that when they just enter the relic, they will encounter the attack of a wave of dark beasts? Based on past experiences, the stronger the dark beasts, the deeper they will hide in the relic, and those that were guarding at the entrance could rarely post a big threat to the huge number of human soldiers entering together.

But this time was apparently different from the past. In just 3 minutes, 5 thousand soldiers were killed, and this extraordinary rate could only mean one thing: a huge problem appeared inside the extinction domain!

But what could be the problem?

"Everyone went in, and 10 thousand people were already killed…" The Prime Minister Pastore of the Gainlead Republic swallowed a deep breath and said with a pale face, "It has only been 5 minutes, and the death rate is already at 10%, I'm afraid that this year's Milky Way Meet will be an unprecedented catastrophe…"

Sorry guys, there will be only 1 release today. I think I got a cold today so I was asleep for most part of the day. I will try to make it up to you guys tomorrow, and thank you Jacob O. for your generous donation today, I will try to get those 4 chapters out by this Saturday, sorry for the wait man! K, bak to sleep, Bai.

Chapter 82: The Tragic Siege

Shua~

Taking a giant leap, Han jumped into the abyss that was A-19 relic's entrance.

"Super Sense pills, three!"

"Hyper-nuclear energy pills, three!"

"Super-ghost pills, five!" While Han was in the air, he gave orders to the fully automatic drug kit.

Pop~

The kit opened and the drugs Han needed were ejected directly into his mouth, directly getting absorbed by his zero-degree region, nervous system, and his muscles.

Supposedly if someone was beside Han, they would be scared to death after hearing how many illegal drugs Han took all at once. Of the tens of thousands types of illegal drugs, the ones preceded by the word "super" or "hyper" were usually extremely enhanced drugs.

In simple terms, just one pill of an extremely enhanced drug could make most soldiers go crazy, as well as being very likely to leave behind after-effects. Other than the times people needed to fight for their lives, no one would willingly take these types of drugs.

But Han's body was very special. The addition of the Heart of Darkness made Han immune to toxins, and thus, he could take many pills of terrifying drugs all at once.

Super sense was the triple enhanced version of the normal type, used to enhance the senses of soldiers. After taking it, soldiers will become extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment to the point where one could even sense the air turbulence of an ant moving.

Hyper-nuclear energy was the enhanced version of the source energy strengthening drug, and after taking it, the Power Source index will drastically increase. As a by-product, it also increases the attack power of soldiers.

As for the super-ghost pill, it was a type of speed and agility strengthening drug, which is pretty self-explanatory.

Han still remembered clearly the words of that strange old man Pathless, "First, get a hold of yourself firmly on the ground, then observe the surrounding and act accordingly. Don't believe the bullshit that the Milky Way Alliance told you, those misguided idiots will be the death of you! Once you get into the extinction domain, run immediately! Run like your life depends on it, because it does depend on it! Where does not matter, as long as you just run out of the crowd!"

That's why Han took a particularly large amount of super ghosts, 5 full pills, capable of at least tripling or quadrupling Han's movement and agility. It was all in order to run faster.

With his right hand behind his specially modified backpack, he would be able to press a button that caused the things inside the backpack to drop downward into Han's hands, allowing for easy access.

The surrounding became darker and darker. Han could already hear people around him breathing heavily but can't see their figures.

Gently touching his right eye, Eye of Darkness, activate!

Shua~

When Han opened his right eye again, it had completely turned black!

The strength that came with the Heart of Darkness was great. When concentrated into his arm, Han could use Dark fist! When concentrated on his eye, it allowed him to acquire unparalleled sight in the dark.

Under the Eye of Darkness, all the soldiers beside Han became like diagrams. Red lines represented blood vessels, white lines were the source energy flow paths, and the brightest region inside the brain was their zero-degree brain region.

Without question, the Eye of Darkness was an excellent ability and under its vision, whoever had a higher level, their zero-degree brain region would appear brighter. Their body also emitting stronger light than others.

Maybe he was approaching the bottom but Han felt a strange power slowing down his drop speed. It was as if the surrounding air became a lot denser.

Han never experienced close contact with an extinction domain yet, not to mention the high level A-class ones, so he looked down curiously. That curious look he took almost made all the pores in his body explode!

He only saw that at the bottom of the abyss, a crazy massacre was in progress. In the darkness, the pairs of evil eyes should be the dark beasts. Their number could not be counted, like the ocean, and the soldiers that landed on the ground were just like landing into the ocean, instantly drowned by the dark beasts' herd.

Screams echoed in his ears, and all the soldiers still falling with Han felt scared. Only a few of them carried night-vision equipment or had special vision, and only they knew what was truly going on down there. The majority of the soldiers didn't know at all that they were actually getting infinitely close to hell!

Although the strange power was slowing down Han's fall, but his speed was still very fast. From noticing something wrong to landing on the ground, it was just around 2 seconds.

Han noticed that it felt a bit sticky under his foot, and then he realized that he stepped on the fresh blood of the already dead soldiers. The A-19 relic, since the moment it got activated, has been carrying out giant massacres! And there was no signs of the end, just more tragedies!

ARH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~

A few dark beasts nearby that were waiting for prey immediately charged at Han. Han didn't make a sound and started running immediately! Aiming for the head of the dark beast right in front of him, he gathered dark energy and threw out his fist!

Dark descent, punch!

Boom~

Han's punch landed right on the fangs of that beast, directly tearing apart its mouth followed by its entire body!

Han did not dare to slow down, and ran like crazy towards the front, using his dark fist whenever he met a dark beast, not considering saving his energy at all!

At the same time, several screams came from behind Han. They belonged to the soldiers that landed at the same time as him. They were besieged and their lives were at stake.

In comparison, there was a big difference between Han and them, and that was how Han had already prepared.

Because of the 1 billion GC bounty on his head, Han knew very clear, the moment he entered the relic he would be attacked by everyone, whether they were humans or beasts. That was why Han took the drugs in the air, prepared a few tricks to escape and also used his darkness vision and carefully observed the surroundings.

So the moment Han landed he started to run nonstop, run desperately and disregarding everything else!

But the majority of the soldiers did not expect the extinction domain exploration even to begin with such tragic start, so they died right away!

Pathless once said, once inside the relic, it is necessary to fight with 100% of the effort!

Unfortunately, that old monster Pathless didn't know how cruel the exploration event this time is!

Within minutes, there were already more than 10 thousand soldiers killed!

One must know, these were carefully selected elite espers of the entire Milky Way galaxy! Elites! Elites out of the elites! Such a death rate was too outrageous!

Ahhh!!!!

Fight to kill! Hit every punch! Trade an eye with an eye! Only surrender in death!

Capable of destroying 9 Layers of Hell! Easily able to annihilate the 6 paths of reincarnation!

The forbidden art of the Six Paths of the Void was thoroughly displayed by Han!

The Six Paths of Void was also known as the demon strike, which meant that when used, it was like a mad frontal onslaught by the hands of a demon!

And coincidently, the situation Han was in right now was where if he doesn't become a mad demon, then he won't be able to live!

Too many, the number of dark beasts were way too many! Overwhelmed, Han has no way to run, no way to retreat, and the only chance was to blaze a new trail of blood!

Han fully activated his power of darkness.

Not just Han's right eye and fist, under the desperate muster of strength, Han's entire right arm had turned pitch black!

Every time, dark fist strike consumed a significant amount of Han's energy, but he had no choice, and he must desperately continue to use it!

The surprising number of dark beasts was like a dark tide, Han didn't even have time to see what they actually look like, but wherever Han went, there were all open mouths rushing to bite him!

Boom~

The Dark fist again displayed its power, dealing a crushing blow to two dark beasts in front of Han in one punch!

Han felt like he went head first into a deep cluster of thorny vines blocking off all paths, and no matter which direction he took, Han needed to desperately wave his axe and cleave a bloody way out.

What was more troublesome was that although Han's Dark fist had terrifying strength that was capable of destroying the dark beasts in his path, these monsters weren't afraid of death at all, and every second there would be more beasts leaping towards Han.

Han's physical energy was depleting at an unimaginable rate and he knew that it was not a way out to just kill the beasts, because he could kill 100 dark beasts, 1000 dark beasts, but he could never kill the ferocious enemies whose units were measured in millions!

Eye of Darkness!

During the fight, Han looked around.

He just saw a palace inside the darkness, an area of dozens of square kilometers, surrounded by a lot of forks in the road that lead to unknown destinations.

On Han's right hand side, there was a group of powerful soldiers, they slaughtered a bloody way out, and a lot of soldiers were following them and cooperating. Although suffering heavy casualties, they seem to have gradually withstood the dark beasts' attacks.

In addition, there were also a few espers with special powers that have also found a way to diffuse the danger. For instance, some could become invisible, some could fly or teleport, and some could cover up their scent. They were all dispersed and trying to escape.

According to the current situation, it seemed like Han should go follow that group of strong espers. After all, they had the obvious advantage of being in a group. Among them, there were dozens of pinnacle five-star espers, and even six star espers, significantly amplifying their offense and defense as a group, forming an effect of one plus one is larger than two. (TL: basically, the author is saying that their strength together is larger than if you would just add their individual powers together, because the result is amplified due to group cooperation and synergy).

"No, that's not the direction I want to go." Han thought to himself.

In the extinction domains, humans were the worst enemy, and Han will always keep that in mind.

He didn't choose to follow others but opted for a more difficult plan: rely on his own strength and follow his own path!

In the relic, only people that were always careful and paranoid will survive, and the paranoid Han chose to be on his own, would it be the right choice?

Han didn't know, but he had no time to think!

Using his last bit of strength, Han used his Dark Fist over and over!

Pop~

The automatic drug kit ejected pills after pills of forbidden drugs. Han pressed all the buttons under his backpack and started using all the tricks he had, whatever magic ball, Falcon vine, snake's poisonous kiss, he just threw them all towards his back!

This time, he's going to give it his all!

Chapter 83: Fatality Rate – 90%

When Han was trapped in despair, Ye Weiwei was already on her way back home with the Ye family's convoy fleet.

Flagship, Air Walker.

Ye Weiwei was nervously looking at a temporary stream of news in her room with her fists clenched, she could not believe her ears.

"According to our latest received information, the Milky Way Alliance has acknowledged, a major crisis appeared during this year's A-19 Exploration event. Within just one hour of activating A-19, the fatality rate has reached 90%. In other words, 90 thousand soldiers have already died in the Extinction Domain!"

"For this, we have invited our special guest, the prehistoric relics expert Professor Prandelli, to explain to us about possible reasons that led to such heavy casualty at this year's exploration event!"

"Professor, within one hour and almost 90 thousand espers already died, this should be the most serious crisis that appeared in our human history of exploration activities in prehistoric sites, right?"

Professor Prandelli pushed up his glasses a bit, and said in a deep voice, "To be accurate, this is the second highest casualty count. As everyone knows, before the establishment of the Milky Way Alliance, Extinction Domain A-1 was carelessly opened, as a result, the most terrifying monster in history was released, we call that monster the King of Darkness."

"The Dark King incident directly caused several major empires to perish, and the allied force composed of all the strong fighters in Milky Way suffered a 30% casualty count. The number of deaths was counted with billion as the unit. That was the most serious and tragic crisis in our exploration history."

The beautiful hostess with red hair was shocked for a moment, and immediately said, "The Dark King? Professor meant that the exploration troops suffering large scale of casualty this time, has something to do with the Dark King?"

Professor Prandelli waved his hand and said, "We can't make any conclusions yet, the Dark King was unique, and even if a monster at the level of Dark King comes out from the relic again, how can those 100 thousand espers be enough? I'm afraid that even the temporary headquarter built at the Miracle Galaxy would be severally damaged as well."

"The reason I brought up Dark King is to remind all of you that live at Milky Way, to never forget the power and unpredictability of the pre-historic civilization. These past years, we've done well in the exploration of extinction domains, and we discovered many precious treasures and information on various types of warship designs, strong transition times warp engines, and as humanity become empowered by these discoveries, we must also not forget, the miraculous prehistoric civilization that had created these things in the first place, they should be the more powerful existence!"

"Looking at the current galaxy, our civilization is built entirely on the basis of prehistoric civilization, their power is not something we humans can resist!"

"As we have known, the pre-historic civilization originally lived at Milky Way, and for some unknown reasons, they left here. If in theory, one day that civilization returns to the Milky Way, what will happen to humanity? Would we be strong enough to be their opponents?"

The red hair hostess's felt that her head was about to explode, and she surprised and asked, "Professor, you said that the civilization originally occupied the Milky Way, will they come back?"

"Anything is possible, take the tragedy that's happening in the A-19 as an example, it can very likely be a warning. Us humans may think that we already mastered great strength, but is that really the case? If we are really strong enough, then why would this tragedy happen to the 100 thousand young talented espers?"

"We must know, these people are all the strongest young geniuses in in Milky Way. Such a lost is no doubt a heavy hit for all countries of the Milky Way Alliance!"

This Professor Prandelli was clearly a pessimist and the red-haired hostess might've felt that the news may get too sensational, so she directed the conversation back to what's happening inside of A-19.

"Professor, lets first talk about what's happening right now, within an hour and 90 thousand young talents have been killed, could it be because the dark beasts inside the domain suddenly got stronger? If yes, what could've possibly triggered this change?" The hostess asked.

Professor Prandelli said with a serious face, "Something must have gone wrong on the inside of the Extinction Domain, but the key is that this is the A-19 relic, we cannot send a regular army into it, because the A-19 is one of the strangest among all the A-class relics."

"A-7, A-19, A-21, these three relics have been the battlefield that the prehistoric civilization used to train their young soldiers, so the entrance of the relic has an age limit. There's also another limit for how many people can be send in at once. The moment that the relic closes, no one can activate it again, and we have no choice but to wait until one month after. The survivors inside the relic will be automatically teleported out."

The hostess hastily asked, "Professor, what number of young soldiers you estimate can survive this tragedy?"

"It's hard to say, and the only advice I can give everyone is to pray."

"Will anyone be able to survive from this tragedy?"

"With luck, maybe one or two survivors. One hour led to the death of 90% of the fighters, this difficulty and intensity is beyond imagination. Now, other than praying for the protection of gods, we can't do anything."

Shua~

Watching until here, Ye Weiwei could no longer bear it, she crushed the screen with a punch, and cursed loudly, "Gods! Damn the gods! Han won't die for sure!"

Ye Weiwei's small body started trembling lightly, she did not know why she got so angry. Did it matter to her whether Han was dead or alive? No right? No?

Peng~

Ye Weiwei pushed open the door, bit down on her lips and rushed into her bedroom. Immediately, waves of sighs could be heard coming out of the living room.

"Our lord was very so accurate, something big really did happen at that Extinction Domain."

"Fortunately our Miss didn't go."

"Although Miss didn't go, Han's still trapped inside."

Sigh…

Miracle System, 4th Star, A-19 Extinction Domain

Han was still trying to fight to survive, more than an hour had passed and Han was finally close to the door of that hall of horror.

After non-stop killing this whole way, Han had long been exhausted. In addition to the fighting spirit of never giving up, those sinister gadgets inside his backpack also helped out Han a lot, especially something called the Falcon vine.

Falcon vine was an illegal genetic hybrid species. Biologists extracted the genes of a deep sea creature called the arcuate millipede, and then mixed in several other strange creatures. Even the gene of the black vine and performed genetic hybridization, ultimately obtaining this fast growth evil creature.

The Falcon vine was stored in a sealed capsule, and it could be used by just throwing it to a target location.

The broken capsule will provide the necessary energy for Falcon vine's growth, and it will instantly grow to an evil creature of more than 10 meters high. They look like a dead old tree, but they were a crossbreed between insects and other creatures. These buggers could easily use their branch-looking arms to trap anything nearby that moves, like a falcon, thus receiving the name Falcon vine.

As Han ran, he threw capsules of Falcon vines behind him, and the tall falcon vines started to grow nonstop, trapping those dark beasts that were in pursuit of Han. Although the beasts had powerful fangs and claws and only needed a few seconds to break free, that was enough to secure valuable time for Han!

Close, it's close!

Han already saw the exit to the giant hall at the entrance of the Extinction, he started waving his right arm again to use dark fist!

With his left hand retrieving more things from his backpack, he threw all the Falcon vines he had down in a narrow channel.

Rumbled~

Hundreds of clawing Falcon vines started growing rapidly, blocking off the dark beasts' steps to kill Han. Wanting to rip open a path in this much thorny vines, the dark beasts would have to take a few minutes.

The illegal pill Super Ghost gave Han incredible speed. He didn't dare to look back and just kept on running desperately forward.

The roaring of dark beasts became distant, and light began to appear at the front!

Whoosh~

Han dashed out of the dark hall with a stride, and the sight before his eyes immediately shocked him.

Chapter 84: Dark Fusion Beasts – Earth Claw

A world!

Leaving the dark hall, Han suddenly realized the A-19 Extinction Domain was actually a complete world!

Before his eyes was a dusty desert, but at the distant horizon up ahead sat a lush forest, on the right side was a long coastline, and on the left side was a jade color grassland that was neatly separated from the desert by an invisible straight line.

And above Han's head was a few strange looking giant towers that hovered in the air. There was no support, and no physical path that led to them. They just stood there proudly in the sky like miracles, looking like pieces that were put in the sky by gods.

Without question, the A-19 relic was an incredible world, but Han had no time to enjoy the spectacular scenery here because the only way left for him is to run for his life!

Behind Han, was a gigantic black tower, and the lower region of that big tower was the dark hall that Han had just escaped from. It was also where the soldiers entered the A-19, and the tower itself was the passage that the soldiers fell through as they entered the relic, connecting the ground and the underground world together.

Originally, the underground world should have had many dark beasts, but this time, they seemed to have all gathered at the dark hall, almost like it was planned, and were massacring all the soldiers that came from the ground above. As a result, outside the dark hall became actually quite empty, and for Han who killed his way out, it was an opportunity to catch up his breath and relax. That more than one hour of continuous fighting already depleted Han's energy.

Han quickly took off his bag because he felt that it lost a lot of weight, which shouldn't be the case.

After Han laid his grey backpack on the ground he saw a big scratch on the bottom by the dark beast, and those little gadgets he prepared for this exploration event were all scattered on the road.

Just at that moment, he felt the atmosphere suddenly change!

At the corner of his eye, Han saw a white beam of light suddenly burst shooting at him, he quickly threw his bag back, and forced energy into his legs to jump up!

Using large amounts of illegal drugs increased Han's speed several times, and just as his feet left the ground, there was a loud sound of explosion, and the white lite hit where Han was standing, creating a huge pothole of 2 meters in diameter. The gravel was burning and smoke emerged.

Laser weapons!

Han was very shocked and he fell awkwardly to the ground. Just then, he used too much force combining with the thrust of the explosion, he lost his balance in the air!

Shua~

Han turned sideways, and used his signature unconventional way and got up, and he saw that in the sky behind him, there was a guy flying towards him.

It was a flight descent esper!

The most difficult type of esper to deal with!

This esper soldier that was flying had a pair of sinister little eyes, curly hair and was slightly fat, equipped with a full set of battle suit, and carrying a two meters long shoulder-fired laser canon.

Han gritted his teeth, right now the Milky Way Alliance wasn't equipped with the ability to manufacture shoulder-fired laser canons so all of them were finished products from extinction domains, priced at hundreds of millions of GC. This flight descent esper could actually obtain something like this, seems like he had a big background.

The Flight descent esper with small eyes looked at Han's torn backup and sneered, "You actually brought that many insidious gadgets onto the battlefield, I bet it was heavy. But those little gadgets are actually quite useful, they saved your life back there."

"But now, you got nothing left, so you are dead!"

Han noticed the badge on that guy's chest, and said in a deep voice, "So you are from Sally Empire, no wonder you will attack me."

"That's right, I'm a soldier from Sally Empire, named Fei Roger, and you are Han, a peasant from our colony Earth." Fei Roger mockingly said.

Han's raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Earth's isn't your colony, and it will never be!"

Fei Roger disapprovingly said, "Big talk is useless, a harder fist is what decides everything! I know you are a Void End esper, but so what?! I can fly! And you are already out of little gadgets, what do you have to deal with me, your teeth?!"

"Look at your stupid face right now! You little brat probably used up all your energy fighting your way out of that dark hall, your source energy has long been depleted. But me, I just flew above you and tracked you, and those dark beasts couldn't do anything to me!"

"You know why I didn't kill you right away? Because that would be too easy, I preferred seeing you get eaten alive by the dark beasts! Tear open your stomach, pull out your intestines, that would be more enjoyable!"

"Peasant from our colony, you think you can fight me? Stop dreaming!"

The situation was very unfavorable to Han since he had already consumed a great deal of energy to break out the dark beasts' siege, but Fei Roger could fly so he didn't really use up any energy. There was a great difference between the two sides, and what was worse was Roger's laser weapon! Unless his level was high enough, or armor was stronger, the majority of espers were all very afraid of laser weapons' attacks.

Behind Han, the massacre in the dark hall was still continuing, and the number of human soldiers that could run out of the big tower was next to zero. The moment that crowd of terrifying dark beasts killed all those people in the tower, they will probably turn around and come back for more survivors that had escaped. By that time Han would be in great danger, he must take advantage of now to escape with a sufficient distance.

Unfortunately, Fei Roger in the sky had an overwhelming advantage. Not only could he fly, he also possesses an expensive laser weapon! Didn't matter how many Super Ghost pills he took, he won't be able to outrun the flying and laser speed!

Suddenly, Han smiled, he put his right hand on the dimension storage ring.

The Black Kylin combat suit's right arm portion was long torn apart by Han's dark energy, so he made a simple sleeve to cover his right arm, but now that the sleeve is broken too, Han's right arm did not have any protection.

Suddenly, Han started running, Fei Luojie sneered, and aimed his laser weapon at Han.

Boom~

A burst of white light shot out!

And Han seemed to be long expecting Fei Roger to be aiming for the area a little in front of him, he suddenly exerted force through his waist, twisting his body counterclockwise in a very strange yet fabulous way, and started charging right towards where Fei Roger is at!

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

There was an interval between each time that portable laser weapon fired because it needed a few seconds to dissipate the heat. Han actually lured Fei Roger to fire in order to gain that precious few seconds of time interval.

Fei Roger was very dismissive of Han's actions and had a look of ridicule on his face. Even if Han's tactic was clever and tricked him to fire another shot to gain a few seconds of time, so what?

He's flying in the air! The void domain could only reach 10 meters around Han, and that was not enough to reach Fei Roger who was flying tens of meters above the ground, so it's not possible to deprive his ability to fly.

"Idiot! How could the most powerful weapon be stored in my backpack, they are all in my ring!"

"Earth Claw!"

Pop~

Just heard Han shouted loudly, placed one hand on the ground, and summoned a bizarre monster!

This monster didn't have a head, nor eyes, nose, or ear. It was like a big claw coming out of the ground, like the hand of the devil half a meter in diameter, with a steel-like skeleton and fingertips sharper than the claw of an eagle.

Ceng~

Han jumped on the monster called the Earth Claw, and this thing stretched its five fingers, pressed its body into the Earth, and the next second, it took off straight from the ground!

Double jump tactic!

Han was not a Bounce type esper. Of course he couldn't jump tens of meters high, but he can take advantage of the powerful jump of Earth Claw to get double the explosive strength!

When Earth Claw prepared to jumped, Han also crouched down, and Earth Claw suddenly took off the ground, Han followed Earth Claw's rhythm, and summoned his full strength!

Ceng~

A very ordinary man, actually jumped straight into the sky like a taut spring!

"Damn you, madman! You actually use dark fusion beasts! That shit's illegal! Illegal!" In a panic, that was all Fei Roger could think of to say.

But that won't change anything, Han still bursted straight into the sky!

Over the years, humans have fought and explored in many extinction domains. They won the science and technology, weaponry, and also got a lot of dark beast samples. Dark fusion beasts were just a type of monster developed on the foundation of those cruel dark beasts through artificial synthesis, and it was one of the biggest taboos in Milky Way. Anyone caught developing, using, or selling dark fusion beasts would be executed immediately!

Han didn't lie, those little gadgets inside his backpack weren't evil enough, and the truly terrifying tricks were all hidden inside his dimensional storage ring!

After all, Han was a dweller of the dark net, okay?

He hadn't seen any legal stuff on there, and illegal stuff? He's got a whole bunch of those!

It would be an insult to call those Falcon vines the ace in the hole of his hand.

Han's real final card was the dark fusion beast Earth Claw! It was an existence summoned only by criminals that could surpass its destructive nature!

Fei Roger was going to rely on his flying power to bully Han?

Then Han will just rely on the power of the Earth claw to jump up and beat the shit out of him!

Shua~

Han's figure already left the ground, flying straight into Fei Rogers in the air.

Seeing the gap was getting closer…

Void domain, activate!

Chapter 85: Run like Hell!

"Void domain, open!"

"So what if I'm going to use dark fusion beasts! What can you do about it? Go to hell!" Han threw himself towards Fei Roger as he shouted.

Of course Fei Roger wanted to dodge, but unfortunately everything was within Han's calculation and control. The explosive strength from his jump allowed him to close the gap instantly. Fei Roger simply couldn't dodge, not to mention Han also had the Void End!

He didn't need to be too close to him, as long as they were within 10 meters, Han could directly take away Fei Roger's flying ability!

Shua~

Fei Roger felt that he had started descending from the sky, his eyes opened widely and he couldn't even think straight under the panic.

Void End was a power different from any other ability. From the surface, Void End's lethality was weaker than combat related descents such as strength or elements which prioritized killing.

But, Void End had an additional evil element in comparison to these powers, depriving the opponents of their ability, turning the powerful enemy to an ordinary soldier with no abilities at all, only a few people could withstand the shock!

Void End will force the enemies into a state of panic, and the next step was to simply take advantage of the panic and chaos, and take their life!

Pa~

The Fei Roger that lost his flying ability was grabbed by Han, and saw a fist flying towards him. Dark Fist, punch!

Hong! Hong! Hong!

"I hate scum like you the most! Since you have the powerful laser weapon, why didn't you go save the lives of your comrades?!"

Hong! Hong! Hong!

"Just for some damn bounty, you can fucking let your comrades die?!"

Hong! Hong! Hong!

"Selfish despicable idiot, I will kill you!"

Ha shouted while his punches fell like raindrops, smashing the Fei Roger in the air back to the ground!

Han could understand why Fei Roger didn't save other countries' soldiers, but what he didn't understand was why did this guy even abandon his teammates?

If it was Cheng Zhong, Xin Beige, Parker, or any comrades from Earth that was here with Han, if Han had the ability then he would save them for sure. He would never leave his brothers behind so he could run away, because they will help each other out, and depend on each other through life and death, that was brotherhood!

But Fei Roger, he had the ability to fly and a powerful laser weapon, yet he left all the comrades that came to A-19 with him just to kill Han? Just for that so-called bounty? What a dick move! No amount of money could be exchanged for brothers' lives. He doesn't even understand such basic logic??

In short, this flying guy disgusted Han, so Han unleashed all his anger onto him, smashed him down directly from the sky with punches, even breaking that bastard's skull!

Peng!

Han's summoned great strength into his arm, and threw Fei Roger's dead body onto the ground. Han still used his very unconventional and wild moves to do a roll to break the fall. He took the portable laser cannon from Roger's dead body, and also broke his fingers to take off a yellow dimensional storage ring.

Fei Roger could bring this two-meter long laser weapon onto the battlefield so it probably meant that he had a lot of goodies in his dimension ring. The ring itself was probably better than Han's little 1-meter cube storage space anyways.

Just when Han was checking out the ring, someone appeared out of thin air. He was as thin as a mantis, with two round eyes and a braid on his head. He was a stealth type esper and had been hidden in the vicinity of Han so he just witnessed that scene of Han killing Fei Roger.

Shua~

Han pressed one hand against the ground and was ready to summon the dark fusion beast Earth Claw again.

But this very thin young soldier hastily waved and said, "My name is Lance, and I mean no harm towards you. Nor do I care about that little bounty on you. The reason I lifted stealth was just to tell you, you were very right, this is an unprecedented crisis, and us survivors might have to all work together in order to walk out of here alive."

Han hesitated for a moment, and then gently nodded his head.

Lance took a look at Fei Roger, and said in a deep voice, "Fei Roger was the nephew of Levi, the Sally Empire's Chancellery. Levi can't have kids, so Fei Roger was almost like his son. If the news that you killed his nephew got out, then the consequence will be very serious."

Han packed up the things he got from Fei Roger before looking up and stating. "I killed him because he deserved it."

"That's right, I wouldn't want to team up with his kind of people. He's not qualified." Lance nodded.

Rumble~

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind from the dark hall. It was a ferocious herd howl of the dark beasts!

"Shit! These dark beasts are about to come out! Let's hurry and run!"

Looking at Han, Lance said in a deep voice, "I can't help you escape, take care! But if both you and me can survive today and meet again, then maybe we can cooperate."

"Okay, you take care too!"

After Han finished, he jumped onto the Earth Claw's back, and this huge black claw carried Han and started running in a very strange way, faster than a rabbit, leaving only a trail of yellow dust in the desert.

Lance was shocked, he twitched and muttered, "F*K, I should've brought a few dark fusion beasts with me too. Although they are illegal, but they can save my life in key moments!"

Shua~

Lance didn't need to run, he had his own life-saving trick. He just started walking forward, and his body quickly camouflaged with the yellow desert, disappearing without a trace.

Han just sat down on Earth Claw, and wiped off the sweat from his forehead.

In fact, Han wasn't having a good time at all, the consecutive high-intensity battles had emptied all of Han's energy. If it wasn't for the Earth Claw, Han might not even have the energy to run. As for taking more drugs again, it wasn't impossible, but it was too risky. In order to break out of the siege, whether it was the source energy, anti-toxin ability, mental strength, sensory ability, they have all been stretched to the limit by Han.

Right now, the result seemed fairly good. At least Han could escape. Looking at the desert, there were barely a few human shadows and they were all in the distance. It would be good enough to have a thousand survivors. This time, the tragedy that fell on Milky Way Meet was much unexpected.

Han put that heavy laser weapon into the ring he grabbed from Fei Roger, and just as he expected, the new ring activated a dimension that was a lot bigger than Han's old ring. That two meter long laser canon was easily stored into it. And now, Han was busy trying to escape and wasn't in the mood to count his loot.

Faced with this tragic crisis, robbing things didn't prove anything, but surviving did.

"Try your best!" Han lightly knocked the exoskeleton of Earth Claw.

The dark fusion beast Earth Claw couldn't make any noises, he just kept his head down and drilled into the ground. This monster's biggest feature was Earth Travel. He was capable of going underground and approaching the enemy in silence, and then delivering a fatal blow.

Now, Han didn't even care if it's about how big that feature was. Instead, he directly used Earth Claw as an underground tank, letting it carry the exhausted Han to quickly escape.

Earth Claw wasn't some perfect fusion beast, his life is very short. Once summoned, he could only survive 24 hours, I guess it can be considered the fate of this type of evil creatures.

Suddenly~

Han felt his heart began racing, and the only remaining source energy inside his body began to circulate, as if it was going to break out of the body!

"It can't be? Why now? Out of all other times?!" Han nervously shouted in his heart.

In the distance came the sound of the dark beasts howling, the herd of dark beasts gathered in the dark hall was coming out! Just like a black tsunami, quickly covering the yellow desert.

Millions of dark beasts!

If those monsters caught up, then everything was over!

Pop~

Han acted decisively, pulling out an automatic injector filled with crimson red liquid from his space ring. He then opening the sealed tube with his teeth, and injected the needle into Earth Claw's body.

Shua~

After a few seconds, the weird looking red liquid was completely injected into Earth Claw's body!

Chapter 86: Valley of Bones

The liquid that Han injected into the Earth Claw was called Doomsday Burst. Once a creature was injected with such a highly toxic biological agent, the inner body releases its full potential until the creature dies due to complete exhaustion.

The situation was urgent so Han couldn't care too much anymore, he needed to flee the scene as soon as possible because in addition to the dark beasts that were about to chase him to death, there was also a big change taking place inside Han's body. The overflowing source energy was reminding him, he was about to level up!

Recently, Han's level had been hovering around pinnacle 3-star level. Life was a bitch, for the whole way Han was training as hard as possible and still couldn't reach 4-stars, yet right after entering the Extinction Domain, before he even got to take a break, he was already about to level up.

Maybe it was the intense battles and the drugs that amplified Han's source energy that broke the barrier between 3 and 4 stars. In short, Han's feeling was getting stronger, he was about to enter four stars!

Under normal circumstances, leveling up was a cause for celebration. After all, his level got higher, which led to a few beneficial changes including the void domain created was now expanded to a radius of one hundred meters.

But now, Han was at the hell-like extinction domain!

The higher the level-up, the larger the fluctuation of source power, which had a greater impact on the soldiers as well. Including factors like consciousness, power, focus, these things will all drastically weaken due to the body trying to adapt to the large fluctuation in power. If at this time Han gets attacked by dark beasts, then he would be neck deep in danger.

Shua~

The Earth Claw that was injected with the Doomsday Burst started to sprint forward like mad, completely disregarded saving energy and didn't care about how this continuous use of energy will take its life.

The dark fusion beasts weren't too intelligent; all they knew how to do was following orders. Han ordered him to run, so the Earth Claw just ran with his life on the line.

A few hours passed, Han was now very far away from the desert, and he had crossed the mountains and arrived at a dark valley.

Plop~

The Earth Claw finally completed his mission. Originally he could have lived for 24 hours, but now due to physical exhaustion he pitched down to the ground, and the black body began to shrink as quickly as a deflating balloon, quickly turning into a blob of dark genetic material the size of a fist.

Han can't afford to care about Earth Claw's death, he couldn't suppress the urge to level up anymore, and he suddenly stood up and started practicing the 46 Ensemble.

It must be said that, although the 46 Ensemble was the most basic exercise in the Milky Way, it was truly amazing. Han's body was like a rhythmic movement, sometimes slow sometimes quick, sometimes relaxed and sometimes rapid, sometimes like an eagle soaring into the sky and sometimes quick like a crimson rabbit sprinting under the moon.

The source energy started flowing like a river, constantly surging into Han's body. As Han began to practice the 46 Ensemble, the source energy fluctuation gradually subsided, and about 10 minutes later, Han let out a long breath, and slowly opened his eyes.

Power level 4-stars, finally reached!

Without too many thrilling developments, Han's breakthrough to the 4th star level was completely natural. After the unremitting efforts he displayed, everything was deserved.

Source Power Index past 10 thousand!

The Void End domain radius was now up to 100 meters!

This was an upgrade caused by the increase in source energy. When the source power was accumulated to a certain extent, it will achieve the effect of gene lock, pushing espers to suddenly take a huge step forward, and that was called crossing the level barrier.

Having his level increased, Han felt like everything about him had refreshed. His zero-degree brain region expanded to become equipped with higher strength, which actually offset the large amount of source energy consumed previously, allowing Han to regain his full strength and make him feel alive again.

Han didn't have time to celebrate the unexpected level increase, he observed the surroundings and couldn't help but gasped.

The valley in front of Han's eyes wasn't a normal valley. At the top of the valley was actually a huge white skeleton left behind after the death of a giant monster.

The spinal part reached at least a dozen kilometers, and the bones sideways across both ends of the valley should be sternum. Han was completely under the shadow of the huge bones.

It seemed to be left behind by a giant snake, Han could only guess that these bones belonged to the star beasts from the legends, otherwise he couldn't possibly explain how a snake could grow to such surprising size.

And in the sky above at the end of the valley, there floated a huge tower that was tens of thousands of meters from the ground, just hovering there. It was shocking.

It was said, A-19 was where the prehistoric civilization trained their soldiers, and those floating towers were different training levels. If one could successful enjoy the tower and get out, then the system programmed by the pre-historic civilization will be give out really generous rewards.

Inside the relic A-19, these floating towers were called dominant tests. Because their existences were obvious, everyone can see them. There were also some hidden tests, and it was said to have even more lucrative returns, but they were not easy to find nor easily accessible.

Those powerful nations in the Milky Way had sent professional teams to study the relics, and in their hands were some maps of the test levels that give the most loot. Thus, whenever the relic opened, they will carefully select soldiers to enter.

As for Han, he came from the insignificant planet Earth, and so far, was the only person from Earth that had been to A-19 before. Not to mention the professional research team, there weren't even any predecessor who had experiences that could be shared. If it wasn't for Pathless, Han would've had received little to no information about the A-19.

Unfortunately, Pathless wasn't an expert in researching extinction domains as he indulged in mostly martial arts. Night Walker was also focused in the pharmacology field. Although they were both powerful, but because of their specialization, they both couldn't offer more help for Han.

Not to mention finding those hidden test levels that led to high quality treasure, it was not even easy to get into any floating towers. Each floating tower had a switch that was usually located at a location below the tower, and activating that switch will summon a ladder that goes into the sky. Then one can get inside those towers.

"I will try to stay alive first." Han shook his head, and said to himself.

He opened the ring he got from Fei Roger, and poured out all the stuff.

This dimension storage ring was a lot higher level than Han's. It actually contained a space that was 10 meters cubed in size, which meant that it was at least 7 hundred million GC!

A dimensional ring that was worth 7 hundred million GC!

Han got so excited, and he started to carefully look through the others stuff Fei Roger brought with him. After all, this guy was the nephew of Sally Empire's Chancellery, he had a lot of valuable stuff, he even carried cash and jewelry with him.

But, Fei Roger was a spoiled young man after all. A lot of things on him were not useful for Han, like all kinds of delicious cuisine, gorgeous silk jackets, pretty little sheepskin boots, and even makeup for men. These things were all thrown away by Han.

Han did some mental math. The ring itself plus the laser cannon, plus the jewelry and some other weapons, the overall value was at least 9 hundred million GC, no doubt a huge harvest.

It was really troublesome to commit robbery in today's society, Han was sure that a spoiled guy like Fei Roger will at least have a couple hundred million GC in his bank account, but unfortunately Han couldn't get his hands on his bank account as well, which is quite sad.

After quickly checking again and packing up everything, Han was about to hit the road. At that moment he saw the Earth Claw that has huddled into a little ball. He let out a gentle sigh, dug a hole on the right side of the valley, buried it, and picked up a few rocks and made a mark.

"The world says that you are an evil synthetic life, but in my eyes, regardless of whether you are evil or good, you saved my life. I'm sorry, I had no choice but to inject Doomsday Burst into you, otherwise you could've lived a few more hours."

"Thanks for your help, I'm going now, you stay here and rest in peace." Han mumbled a few words, and accelerated his steps to rush towards the end of the valley.

The silent valley and giant skeleton above his head gave Han a very creepy feeling. Thinking about the countless dark beasts that are currently chasing and killing the rest of the human survivors, Han's sense of crisis got even stronger.

Thirty days! One needed to survive in this hellish environment for 30 days, it was no doubt a harsh test for all participants.

Due to the sudden level-up on the battlefield, Han's movement speed also increased a lot, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the end of the Valley and saw that huge white skeleton monster's head resting in the dirt.

It was a very strange looking head, with sharp edges. The rows of fangs were even taller than Han, shinning a pale color under the sun.

Han guessed, if the owner of these bones was really a snake, then it would be a truly terrifying monster snake, even after passing away millions of years ago, its remains still released a murderous aura. That mouthful of sharp fangs, it couldn't be known how many enemies were killed by them.

Escape was his priority. Han didn't dare to stay here any longer, just as he prepared to leave the valley, he saw something red inside that monster snake's bones.

Being driven by curiosity, Han got closer and looked through the slit between the monster's teeth.

Inside the skull grew some "red beans" that were shining, that color was bright red like fresh blood…

Chapter 87: Aeon Blood Seep

The small "red beans" gave Han a feeling of familiarity. He had seen them somewhere before; it should've been in that pharmacology book that Night Walker gave him.

"Could it be Aeon Blood Seep?" (TL: Aeon is tens of thousands of years) Han scratched his chin, and said to himself, "I can't be that lucky? Aeon Blood Seep is something formed when the Earth absorbed the blood of powerful espers. It's super rare, but here…"

Han suddenly raised his head, he suddenly realized, the huge monster's skeleton stretches dozens of kilometers, and these blood-color red beans have been growing inside the monster's skull, so they must be formed after absorbing the blood of this huge monster.

That meant, the Aeon Blood Seep doesn't just form rarely after the death of elite espers, the pure blood of monsters could also foster top level drug ingredients.

Looking around, there were a lot of footprints left behind by dark beasts. It was still clear.

From that, it could be predicted that the places that grew Aeon Blood Seep usually had large amount of dark beasts gathering under normal conditions, making harvesting a difficult task.

But now, all the dark beasts inside the A-19 were gathered at the dark hall to massacre human invaders, leaving other places in the relic empty. That actually gave Han the perfect opportunity to stop by and harvest these precious Aeon Blood Seeps!

Shua~

Han got in through the crack it the monster's skull, and picked up an Aeon Blood Seep to start studying it.

It couldn't be wrong, the 6 leafed plant that grew fruits like a drop of blood, the fruit shined and there seems to be blood flowing on the inside. It had a light fragrance, looked light but was actually as heavy as a steel bead, these were all features of Aeon Blood Seep.

Blood Seep was a powerful purifier type drug, and it could also be used as a valuable neutralizing agent for drugs. On the Galactic Dark Net, one drop of Aeon Blood Seep can be sold for at least 1 million GC, and there was always demand but little supply.

Han saw those clumps of red blood drops and was very pleasantly surprised. There were at least a few hundred drops, and he could just harvest them all himself!

In fact, dead bodies of high level espers had always been precious treasures that were hard to get. Power crystals may have formed in their brain, and blood seeps might have grown at the place that buried the body. Some scientists on the dark net can even dismantle the dead bodies to make sinful drugs.

Like the zero-degree region repair potion that Li Yu used in the past, that was from refining extracted brain fluids from living warriors, the method was very cruel.

Of course, after being exposed by the dark net for so long, Han already felt natural towards these illegal activities. He actually had a better understanding of the dark world than the normal world.

Han began to harvest these blood seeps. These valuable plants were very special, once the fruit has been picked, the plant will immediately wither down to the root, and never grow back again. After this harvest, if someone else comes here later on, then all they see would be empty ground with nothing here.

Usually, the blood seeps that came from espers' refined blood, having one plant was good enough. But these blood seeps were formed from giant star beasts, that's why there was an incredible amount of it.

As for the difference between blood seeps that formed from espers and beasts in the pharmacological field, Han wasn't very clear, and this question will be left for the true expert Night Walker to solve.

732 drops.

After Han finished counting these precious blood seeps, he placed them into the storage ring. Inside the ring was an vacuum environment, so he was not scared of these blood seeps rotting.

According to the Dark Net's market price, 1 million GC per drop, 732 drops is 732 million GC, plus all the loots he got earlier gave Han a total net gain of 1.6 billion GC!

"I still have to be alive to be able to spend this fortune." While being excited Han still knew the danger he was in.

Just when he was planning to leave the skull of the monster, suddenly, after the field of blood seep plants withered, a golden ring appeared on the ground. Although being ages old, it was still shiny. Han didn't know what material that's made out of.

Han squatted and gently picked up the ring out of curiosity.

Shua~

Suddenly, Han was teleported to the floating tower above the end of the valley. The alloy gate in front of his eyes slowly lifted, and inside was pitch black darkness.

So that golden ring was a switch that activated the sky ladder, Han inadvertently entered himself in a trial.

Han looked around, countless identical towers were floating magically in the air so no one knew which ones' level were higher or had better rewards. Espers all relied on luck to stumble into these towers for trial tests.

The time of trials were normally 24 hours. According to experience, the longer the trial time, the higher level this floating tower was. After clearing corresponding trials, the loot was a lot better as well, and they were usually the key to getting a high ranking after the exploration event ends.

It was said that the highest record for trial times in the A-19 was 96 hours, but Han didn't know where these high level floating towers were located at all. The location was only known by those powerful countries so their espers could go directly there without competition when the exploration event starts.

For this reason, the winners of past Milky Way Meet were all someone from the 12 Permanent Member Countries. People like Ke Lake, as someone that came from a weak unknown planet, it was already very shocking for him to make the 9th place.

Loots like Aeon Blood Seep, although it was top level loot, the Alliance won't give Han too high score for that. After all blood seeps were drug ingredients. If Han wanted a high score then he needed to find blueprints, genetic codes and other things that could benefit the entire humanity.

Han not only had to make sure that he survived in the A-19, but also secure enough points. That would be just enough to make sure that Earth didn't get colonized.

Ten years ago, that was what Ke Lake did. He passed A-7 at 9th place, made great contributions to the Alliance, and was recognized as a top talent.

When Sally Empire and a few other countries wanted to colonize Earth, the Alliance executives considered Ke Lake's contribution and potential so they rejected that proposal, and that allowed Earth to luckily exist for another 10 years.

After ten years, now that Ke Lake's missing, the heavy responsibility landed on Han. He must obtain the same or even better score than Ke Lake, in order to possibly prevent the colonization of Earth.

Thinking about that, Han raised his eye brows, and walked into the pitch back tower in big steps.

"If getting high enough score is my mission, then I will accept this trial!"

Peng!

The large gate closed immediately, numerous holographic projections were shot into the darkness, and the darkness suddenly turned into a battlefield near broken cliffs!

Shua~

A light display was activated, it was showing Milky Way's universal language, and so Han was able to read it. Humans have learned countless things from prehistoric civilization, and this language was one of them.

Han was shocked, his eyes were fixed on those words, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Trial level, 7."

"Time required, 168 hours!"

A floating tower trial that takes 168 hours to complete, this should be the top level trial in A-19 right?! Before this, Han heard that the highest floating tower trial was only 96 hours, called Level 5 Trail.

Every time, A-19, the could only be activated for 30 days, yet this simple trial was going to take 7 days and 7 nights. It was obviously how high-level and difficult this trial would be.

Only by attending the hardest trial, will it be possible to get the most valuable reward!

Everything that happened in this world happened for a reason. In the dark hall, Han didn't choose to flee with the majority, but escaped on his own onto a side path.

This side path took Han to the Skeleton Valley, found him valuable blood seeps. After harvesting the blood seeps, the hidden sky ladder appeared, and Han then came to this Level 7 Trial.

All of which happened since the moment he picked a path that no one else walked. If since the very beginning, Han made choices similar to others, then how would he be lucky enough to end up here?

Han smiled, his finger gently touched the "Start" button on the screen.

Now, he really wants to know, the top level trials left behind by the prehistoric civilization, what was it going to be like? Once cleared, what would be the reward?"

Hi guys, sorry about the website today, we were under constant attack so we apologize for the inconvenience. Anyways, I'm not sure when you guys will be able to see this, but thank you Jacob O. for sponsoring these two bonus and the past two bonus chapters!

Chapter 88: Killing Machine

Ye Family's Convoy Fleet, Flagship, Class Airwalk.

The sailing continued, Ye Weiwei shut herself inside her room. 24 hours had passed since that news report on the big crisis in A-19. Ye Weiwei almost didn't eat anything, and she was simply depressed to the extreme.

After all, she was just a silly little girl. Ye Weiwei didn't know what happened to her. All she knew was that it felt like as if she had lost something very important. The moment she closed her eyes, Han's shadow was everywhere in her brain.

Maybe it was because Han gave her something that no one else could and that was freedom. Beside Han, Ye Weiwei could wear a dress, pick up a playful puppy, and do a lot of things that she always wanted to do but couldn't. This gradually formed a type of attachment.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning, Ye Weiwei took out her laptop and started watching the live news. Right now, all the eyes of the Milky Way were on the tragedy that happened at A-19.

The hostess said hastily, "According to our latest information received, the Milky Way Alliance officially announced, 24 hours after Extinction Domain A-19 was activated, the casualty count reached 98.1%. This means, among the 100 thousand young talents, only 1900 are still alive."

"Right now, please welcome our special guest, Professor Prandelli to explain to us, what this number really means? And among the survivors, how many can really make it through the remaining 29 days?"

The old professor scratched his head, and said in a deep voice, "Ah, to be honest, we should be glad that the 100 thousand espers were not all killed. After all, when the relic was just activated the casualty count was already that high. Right now, I have reason to believe, the survivors have already left the entrance point which was the dark hall."

"As we all know, once out of the dark hall, they will be facing the dimension world fabricated by the prehistoric civilization with high level technology. This world is very vast, although it is still dangerous, it won't be a complete slaughter like what happened at the dark hall. So, these 1900 espers still have a chance to survive until the extinction domain deactivates."

"Besides, those soldiers that survived are all elites. The majority of the lower level or weaker power espers might have already been eliminate. In conclusion, I'm still cautiously pessimistic about the result after 29 days. After all it's still a long way to go, and no one really know what's really happening inside A-19."

The hostess quickly asked, "Professor, you just said that leaving the dark hall means temporary safety, can you introduce to us more about the inside of an extinction domain?"

The old professor nodded, "Overall, A-19 relic is like a complete world, and it is not too different than the world we live in. I've mentioned the entrance point which is the dark hall. After the hall and before the relic world, will be a temporary safety period."

"The real threat is that the world inside the relic doesn't remain the same. As time passes, more and more hidden entrances or switches will be revealed, which are originally opportunities for espers to find a lot of priceless treasures and blueprints."

"But at the same time, more dark beasts, and things even stronger than dark beasts will also appear in the extinction domain. This is like a gradual process of increasing difficulty."

The hostess hesitated, "Do you mean to say, there are internal operating rules inside the relic, and the difficult of survival will gradually increase meaning the last few days will reach its peak level difficulty, which is the most dangerous, is that right?"

Professor Prandelli nodded his head, "It has always been like this. In addition, A-19 is different from other relics. It was originally a training ground for the pre-historic civilization. When they left, they also put in a lot of dark beasts and other even more powerful hostile creatures, so…"

Sigh~

Ye Weiwei suddenly felt her heart trembling. It was not that she was someone that could be easily scared, but hearing about the difficult situation those participants at the relic were facing, she didn't know why but she was just really scared, she didn't even dare to continue to listen to the news anymore.

"Han, you definitely need to stay alive." Ye Weiwei curled up in bed, and her eyes became a little bit watery.

Miracle System, A-19 Extinction Domain.

It really was a trial with the high level 7 difficulty. It has been 18 hours nonstop and Han was surrounded by a large group of orcs. They would stand up and challenge Han one by one, and Han would need to beat every one of them or else he will be eliminated.

Around him were collapsed buildings and a burning city. This test was to simulate Han as a survivor of an attack and under the siege of countless enemies.

Luckily, it was not like a siege attack from before, but more like a never-ending challenge tournament. It's been 18 hours and Han already killed countless opponents but the test was still not ending.

Another Orc stood out, stepping on broken rubble and displaying his muscles which were harder than steel.

Orc was a name Han gave to them. These guys didn't look human, their foreheads were narrower and higher, nose pointed to the sky, and a row of fangs grew casually in their mouth. They wore animal skins, and their bodies were covered with ornaments made from animal bones. Most of them were about two meters in height.

In the Milky Way, aside from humans, there were a lot of other alien races. But due to humans being more powerful, the alien races' living situations were generally tougher. As well, they engaged in industry that had high risks, like Old Mo from the Kui race who was working as a Skinner, or like the Witch race which were generally working as assassins.

Right now this strange race, all their soldiers were power descents, relying on brutal force in battles and fighting like beasts. That was why Han called them orcs.

The Orc race's fighting style was simple yet brave. They don't say anything, and they stood up and started attacking Han with brute force immediately. After one got killed, another one stands up again to fight Han, and it was like an infinite loop.

AWOOOOOO~

This guy was just like the previous challengers, all he knew was to roar and throw his fist at Han.

Han was secretly crying on the inside. Among all types of espers, strength class were relatively common, but they were the type that Han wanted to avoid the most. Han's void end simply couldn't do anything against those huge muscles.

Han could drag a flying guy back down, he could hold a water guy in water to suffocate, and he could force all the thunder, fire, and ice class espers into a worthless state! But for a strength class opponent, what could Han do?

Shua~

The Orc warrior's fist was like a huge steel hammer, smashing right down towards Han's head. The fist flashed towards him, its force was thunderous!

Han couldn't see the end of these battles, and he started to doubt if this type of fight will last seven days and seven nights.

If that was really the case, then Han was screwed. Han becomes stronger when he faces strong opponents, but against these normal opponents that just dominated in numbers, he really couldn't fully utilize his strengths.

Han's eyes firmly fixed on the enemy's fist, his body inclined in a strange way towards the left.

After a long time of fighting, Han learned to predict the direction of enemy attacks, and learned to minimize the amount of energy consumed for each kill. After all, the enemies were great in numbers and Han doesn't know how long this battle will go on for. So saving drugs and energy became the most important mission for now.

Han's attacks and counterattacks were more natural. He just turned his body down sideways to dodge the fist, and suddenly, his body that was just parallel to the ground came right back up in a very incredible way. His right fist started gathering dark energy as Han reached to the back, and it went right after the Orc's heart from behind!

Boom!

Dark Fist!

The power of darkness penetrated the opponent's body straight from the back, completely crushing his heart!

Without question, this was an extremely effective way of attack. Han didn't use any extra moves or consume any additional energy. Han only used one punch to hit the most critical place, and one punch was enough to take the opponent's life!

Unknowingly, Han's killing techniques was improving at an insane rate.

Han's Dark Fist was powerful, but in the past, Han always used full force to make sure that one punch was enough to shatter the enemies in pieces, blowing up like a balloon!

But now that he needs to conserve energy, Han couldn't use full force anymore, but rather needed to cleverly use his energy, and kill using the most effective, most efficient, and fastest way.

"Are you guys done yet?! Fine, again! I will kill you all sooner or later!" Han shouted, he was also trying to raise his own morale.

After all, it was already eighteen hours of non-stop battle, Han doesn't even remember how many people he killed. In comparison, the stress he had to endure from the pressure exam was nothing. The methods that the pre-historic civilization used to train their soldiers were a lot crueler than humans.

Shua~

Just when Han shouted that sentence and thought that the battle would just go on endlessly, the surroundings suddenly disappeared. Those long tusks ugly Orcs disappeared too, and it was pitch black in the floating tower again.

Instead, a screen lit up.

"One Thousand Kills Completed."

"Time taken, 18 hours 4 minutes 5 seconds."

"Evaluation: Beginner Level Killing Machine…"

Han read the words on that screen, it seemed like he had unknowingly killed that many people? A thousand kills took 18 hours and 4 minutes, so that's on average one minute per kill?!

Beginner Killing Machine?

Han doesn't really like the title he was given.

Shua~

Suddenly, the screen flashed again, and the second dialogue appeared, and it directly shocked Han to the extent that he almost cried!

"After four hours, begin Intermediate Killing Machine Test. Target, 10,000 kills!"

Han finally realized, this Level 7 Floating Tower, is a place that that trains killing machines!

He just finished killing a thousand targets, and now 10 thousand?!

Chapter 89: Four Powerful Cards in Hand!

The room in the Level 7 Floating Tower dimmed into darkness. Han sat down in the darkness, pulled out an automatic water collection cup and energy bar and started eating in small chunks.

The China region on earth was rich with people who had spoiled mouths (TL: as in they are very picky with food). Yet although Han was Chinese, his non-pickiness for food almost reached an outrageous extent. This time exploring the A-19, he only brought two things, water and energy bars.

The water collection cup was a small and black light fiber texture cup. It could automatically collect moisture from the air and convert it into pure drinking water through its condensation system.

As for the energy bar, it was a dark red emergency food that was rich in protein and all kinds of vitamins. A small bar was enough to ensure a soldier's energy consumption for a day.

The vast majority of soldiers all hated this type of superiorly effective energy bars because it tasted so bad. It was like chewing up plastic, scentless and tasteless. It was designed that way so that when you eat you won't be discovered by monsters that had a keen sense of smell.

Food that was like chewing on wax, Han was actually having a good time eating it. From a certain perspective you could say that he had high tolerance and could endure more hardship than an average soldier.

Suddenly, eerie sounds came from the darkness. After the inside of the floating tower completely darkened, some lives hidden inside the tower began to appear.

"Eye of Darkness!"

Han whispered inside his heart, and when he opened his right eye again, his eye had completely turned black.

By observing with his dark power, Han saw many strange creatures. They were clearing up the battlefield, dragging those opponents that Han killed into the depths of the tower, into some sort of cleaning machine. There was the sound of bones and flesh getting minced.

Han was shocked. So the existence of Orcs was not virtual, but real! What he just killed were all living creatures!

As for the things that were clearing up the battlefield, they were very strange with a shining lit region on their chest. It should be their energy source so they might actually be a bunch of robots.

Han was lost in thought, ever since he entered the domain, he felt something was strange here. The words were written in the Milky Way Universal language. This could still be explained because mankind originally learned this language from the prehistoric domain.

And then it was the activation of the floating tower. It seemed as if this set of systems from the prehistoric civilization regarded Han's existence as the same as the beings from the prehistoric civilization. Not only was the A-19 like this, but all the other relics too.

Does this prove that, the prehistoric intelligent beings and humanity were common in a way?

That's why humans could easily accept everything left behind by the prehistoric domain: their technology, machinery, genetic modification technology, etc.

Speaking of genetic modification technology, dark beasts must be mentioned. They were something created by the prehistoric civilization so they don't reproduce naturally but were instead, created by automated production systems.

Thinking back to the time Li Yu led the brothers at the Extinction Domain Administration, their goal was actually to find C-level's biological breeding hub inside the relic and destroy it, otherwise there would always be dark beasts and their number would grow.

Of course, humans can also use the same means to prevent the manufacturing of dark beasts in higher level relics but unfortunately, these A-class relics were way too difficult to manage. As well, the location of the central production facility was also very mysterious. Up until now, there were only a few A-class relics that were compromised and became safe points.

These A-class relics that no longer had dark beasts were all under the control of the 12 permanent members of Milky Way without exception. They vigorously studied the relic interior, and copied the technology that was left behind by the prehistoric civilization, ultimately achieving the superior position of the 12 permanent members today.

Han was thinking, if dark beasts could be manufactured, then what about these Orcs? They should also be manufactured by a Gene development center that also trained these soldiers right?

Han's curiosity began to grow, he really wanted to go look at these robots that cleaned up the battlefield and see where those dead Orcs were sent off to? Where are the living Orcs kept? How does this huge floating tower really work?

Thinking back and forth, Han decided to not make any move. Spying on the floating tower's interior for secrets was no doubt dangerous. If Han wanted to live, then he bettered follow the rules inside this relic.

The robots were really quick at their job, the inside of the floating tower was soon restored to the previous state, and even the odor of dead bodies was gone. The robots all disappeared and everywhere had gone silent.

Looked at the time, Han could rest for another 3 hours. He put two nuclear energy pills inside his mouth, then laid on the cold alloy floor and slowly closed his eyes.

During the short rest, Han had a dream, a very terrifying dream.

He dreamed that the relic was activated by an unknown strength, the gene development center, in addition to manufacturing dark beasts, also began to manufacture even more terrifying fusion creations. Soldiers of mankind fell one after another and the whole relic was in chaos. Han stood on top of a mountain and witnessed the brutal massacre, bodies piled up to be mountains, and blood flowed and formed rivers.

Di…Di…Di…Di…~

The preset alarm clock pulled Han back from the nightmare. After a few minutes the intermediate killing machine test will begin, and Han's goal was 10 thousand kills! Ten times more than before!

While there were still a few more minutes left, Han practiced a bit of 46 Ensemble.

Under the influence of drugs, Hans physical strength and energy has been completely restored. His high tolerance to toxicity was one of Han's biggest cards in his hand, allow him to rely on drugs to restore energy.

Chapter 89.2: Four Powerful Cards in Hand!

Kacha~

The whole floating tower lit up again, the height was at least 50 thousand meters, and its diameter was at least 15 thousand meters. It could generate a mix of virtual and real elements to fabricate the battleground, and was one of the miracles left behind by the prehistoric civilization.

The surroundings were changing again. A valley began to appear, and so did rivers and forests.

This was an energy based virtual environment. Each mountain was an energy body, allowing Han to actually climb up. But these mountains didn't have a physical entity, they were formed by energy beams shot down from all sides of the floating tower coupled with virtual reality technology. A virtual mountain was created with all the characteristics of a real mountain.

As for Han's opponents, they were real physical entities created using their genetic development technology and they were under the control of the central system. They could be understood as a more advanced version of clones.

Han's opponents began to appear, they stood up from hills, crawled out from rivers, and walked out from forests. It was definitely more than 10 thousand, and they have surrounded Han.

They were from an alien race again. They had grey white bodies and curved eyes. Their eyeballs were red, and didn't have any combat suits protecting them so they were half naked.

Their upper bodies were long, and their pair of big legs were even more exaggerated. Full of steel-like muscles, showing that they should be capable of strong jumping abilities and overall mobility.

"F*k, it's another siege again!" Han looked around and cursed.

The system's setting in the floating tower was quite annoying. Every time the enemies would surround Han and create a siege battle. If the enemies all came out from one direction, Han could at least save some energy.

But now, enemies could come from all sides!

Shua~

Shua~

Shua~

The siege began! Countless alien enemies rushed straight for Han!

No, they didn't rush, they bounced!

So this grey white skinned alien race were all bounce type espers. They were all like grasshoppers, capable of bouncing a few hundred meters high so they could instantly bounce a few hundred meters to appear right in front of Han.

Han was so angry that he wanted to curse. It was as if the floating tower had seen through Han's weakness and specifically picked opponents that countered Han's ability.

Bounce type espers' feature were their burst strength and momentum. This type of enemy was very annoying because momentum was a type of physical attack. Even if Han took away their power, they could still use the momentum they created through the initial bounce to rush to Han's face.

Han gritted his teeth and his eyes became cold. His fingers lightly touched his ring, and a blade suddenly appeared in his hand. The Silver Moon Crescent blade, the top tier weapon from the Zizhu Empire.

Han's dark power was really destructive, so Han not only broke the right arm portion of his combat suit, he even slightly bended this priceless weapon.

But, Silver Moon Crescent blade's edge was still sharp!

In addition, Han didn't just have Void End, he also knew a forbidden martial art!

The Six Paths of the Void!

They just saw Han's body twist in a very strange way, and the sharp edge in his hand approached the enemy in a completely unexpected angle and gently came into contact with them.

The sharp edge immediately opened up a huge cut on the enemy's neck. The enemies would keep charging forward for a few meters, then collapse onto the ground, with their hand covering their neck as their body gradually become cold.

Bounce type espers still had a weakness. When they initiated their jump, they were like a bullet. Although very fast, but they move in a straight line and can't change their path in the air. Once they pass Han, they can't stop themselves immediately, and they would continue catapulting tens of meters before coming to a full stop.

This just meant that the bounce type espers were destined to be a live target in the air once they initiated a bounce, as long as Han was agile enough and his edge was sharp enough, he could take their lives before they landed on the ground again!

And Han's Void End wasn't completely useless. The four star Han could take away everyone's power within a 100-meter radius!

These bounce type enemies must catapult themselves outside of the 100-meter range, or else they won't be able to do anything anymore. And if bounce type espers couldn't bounce, then their combat strength will be greatly reduced and they won't be an opponent for Han.

Gengci~

Gengci~

Han became completely mercilessly. Whether they were fusion beings or clones, he needed to kill them first!

The enemies that bounced over were killed midair, and enemies that ran towards Han were killed before they even got close!

In a blink of an eye, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

The Silver Moon Crescent Blade in Han's hand began to quickly reap the lives of enemies!

"Sensory pill, double dose!"

Pop~

Two pill instantly went into Han's mouth, drastically improving Han's perception ability.

Faced with these high jumping enemies, Han's perception and reflexes became extremely important. Due to Han's unique tolerance for toxins, he could rely on drugs to force his perception to be more sensible, and his moves to be more agile!

During the first test, Han, on average, killed one enemy every minute.

But this time, he was killing one every few seconds.

Kill!

Desperately kill!

Kill without having to worry about anything!

Han was currently shouldering a huge responsibility; he was shouldering the hope of the entire Earth!

If becoming an emotionless killing machine was what is took to save Earth from being colonized, then Han will become the most merciless killer in the0Milky Way! He won't frown no matter how many he kills!

In fact, Han's ability to kill was more powerful than he expected.

Because he not only had the Void end, but also the power of half of the Heart of Darkness, the power of Six Paths of Void, and also the super tolerance for toxins!

Exactly four powerful cards in hand!

Chapter 90: Irrevocable

Ten thousand kills, reached!

As the floating tower sunk back into darkness, Han suddenly felt dizzy and fell down on his butt. His right arm that was holding the Silver Moon Crescent Blade was still slightly trembling.

10 Thousand kills, Han didn't know how long it took him, or how he managed to endure it, but he did it! Within the specified time, he killed ten thousand opponents!

Shua~

The screen appeared again.

"Ten thousand kills, complete!"

"Time taken, 47 hours 16 minutes and 25 seconds."

"Evaluation result, Intermediate Killing Machine."

Whew~

He let out a long breath. It took two full days; no wonder his arm was aching. Let alone killing 10 thousand enemies, even if you continuously ate 10 thousand chicken wings your arm would hurt too.

Soon, the screen appeared again, there was a new instruction.

"24 hours later, begin Advanced Killing Machine Test."

"Test topics, random."

What the * do you mean by random?!

Han shook his head. He couldn't do too much about it. Being extremely tired, he fell asleep right away after taking another nuclear energy pill. Han didn't know how to end this crazy level 7 exam anyways, so he might as well take a break first.

Just when Han was taking the difficult test, an old acquaintance of Han was also tossing and turning in the relic.

He was the person that Han met once during the pressure exam, the young and sentimental Lan Feng.

Coincidently, Han also met Lan Feng's friend already, the Stealth esper that he met after he escaped from the dark hall.

Sigh~

Lan Feng laid in a gap between two rocks, his held his head, and constantly sighed as he tossed and turned.

"Life is full of mystery, life and death could have been a very common thing. Even the strongest warlord will die, but if we are all going to die, then would it be a bit too sad and pathetic if I die here?"

"My mom and dad should be very sad right? After all, I wasn't the one that wanted to come, they forced me."

"Huh? Lance? Why aren't you talking?" It was like as if Lan Feng was nagging to himself.

Soon, Lance was annoyed by Lan Feng and couldn't fell asleep, he came out of stealth, appeared beside Lan Feng, and frowned, "Yo crazy man, are you done yet? At this point, what is complaining going to do? The most important thing right now is to live, live no matter what it takes!"

"I really regret it, why did I become your partner? You are such a burden. That guy I met on outside of dark hall, he even brought dark fusion beasts, clearly he made a lot of preparation. Partnering up with people like that will increase our chances of walking out of here alive."

Lan Fei smiled, tapped his fingers on his space ring and said, "I brought a lot of good things too."

"What did you bring?"

"I have the valuable first edition of the Milky Way Talk."

"Book? What use is that book?" Lance said snappily.

"I have the Milky Way Poetry collection."

"Poetry? Retard, what are you doing bringing poetry onto battlefield?"

Lan Fei said very seriously, "To resolve loneliness."

Plop~

Lance almost fainted, he tilted his head and looked at Lan Feng, said, "Ok, you win. Loneliness. In the next few days there will be more dark beasts, and I can assure you, soon you won't feel lonely anymore."

Just when they are talking, a strange change took place in the sky!

Lan Feng looked up and was suddenly shocked, he said in surprise, "Lance, look, the floating towers are moving!"

Lance quickly followed Lan Feng's line of sight and looked, and he saw those floating towers in the sky really began to move, dozens of nearby floating towers started flying towards another floating tower in the distance.

Boom~

Soon, the first floating tower arrived at the destination, soon followed by the second one, the third one.

Suddenly, dozens of floating towers all merged together and became one enormous entity!

Originally, each tower is 50 thousand meters tall and 15 thousand meters in diameter, and now that dozens of them merged together, it suddenly became a giant in the sky!

Lance swallowed spittle, surprised, "How could this happen? Didn't they say that each tower is a testing arena, why did they all combined just now?"

Lan Feng thought for a moment, and smiled, "Possibly someone activated a really high level trial and one tower wasn't enough, so dozens more tower are needed to piece together a larger area for the trials."

Lance had the unbelievable look on his face, "High level trial? You are guessing right? I've never heard of towers that could merge."

Lan Feng nodded, "Of course it's my guess. Back then, I read all tens of thousands of the historical volumes on the A-19, and it's the first time something like this happened. Landis Mulin Lamu, are you interested to go and take a look with me?"

"Don't call me by my full name!" Lance was a little flustered and said, "I hate people calling my full name! Call me Lance!"

Lan Feng pouted and said, "If you can go with me, then I won't say your full name. Otherwise…"

"Okay, you win! Wait here, I will go scout the vicinity first." Lan said after stomping the ground once.

"Ok, go. Come back quick." Lan Feng gently waved at him like he's commanding his servant.

This time Han slept deeply, he opened his eyes again after 23 full hours, it's clear how huge the energy consumption this insane level 7 test was.

Han quickly took two source energy pills, and also drank some water and ate some energy bars to replenish his strength.

Gengci~

The water that just went into Han's mouth soon erupted out, because Han now realized, just when he was sleeping, the interior area of this floating tower expanded a hundredfold!

The height was still the same, but the width had increased too much that he couldn't see the end anymore. It was empty and silent, Han stood at the center of the tower like an insignificant ant.

"What happened? How did the tower become so endless?" Han frowned as he said to himself.

Yes, Han didn't use the wrong word, the floating tower can really be described as endless. Standing in there was like standing on an boundless prairie.

All the bodies and blood had been cleaned up. An innumerable number of lamps lit up inside the tower, allowing Han to clearly see this enormous testing space.

Han suddenly had a bad feeling. The tower suddenly became that big, it must be for the next test.

"This huge space, don't know how many enemies they are trying to accommodate for. It can't be a million kill test?" Han muttered in his heart.

Shua~

Suddenly, the instruction screen lit up again, and it's filled with texts.

"Ultimate Killing Machine test is about to begin."

"Rating, Highest Level."

"Rule of Operation: Forced Completion, Irrevocable."

"Test topics, Randomly selected."

Under those words, there is a start button, the moment Han press it the system will automatically pick a topic.

Forced to complete, irrevocable?

Han was stunned.

The prehistoric civilization is really cruel!

So when one gets into the Level 7 test, he must complete all the topics? He can't even quit mid way? That's a bit too overbearing right?

Actually, what's more overbearing has yet to come.

Han has yet to press down the start key, and the system began counting down the seconds! That's forcing Han to take the extremely risky ultimate killing machine test!

Pa~

Forced back to the wall, Han summoned his pride of a virgin and smashed down on the start button. As the saying goes, I can't die yet, I'm still a virgin

Shua~

The display quickly changed, a total of nine numbers began to flip, probably representing the 9 tests. As the numbers were randomized, Han's heart began to feel hanged up.

Pop~

The numbers finally stopped changing, Han took a closer look, it's nine, he got the 9th ultimate test.

According to the law of numbers, 9 is either the easiest or the hardest…

Chapter 91: Either the Fish Dies or the Net Breaks

(TL: Title is an idiom that describes a life and death struggle)

The texts on the screen changed, finally giving specific instructions on the 9th Test topic.

"Test Topic: One Million Souls."

"Test type: Energy Simulation."

"Test requirement: Complete one million kills within the specified time."

"Test standard, Completion or Death."

Ceng~

Han saw the content and there was huge humming sound inside his head.

The meaning of these instructions was that this test topic was called one million souls. Han's enemies will no longer be manufactured lives, but lives simulated by energy. This meant that a system installed inside the floating tower will release waves of energy, and the energy will take form and become Han's adversaries.

Maybe it was because one million enemies was too much to manufacture. That was why the system was using energy instead of genetically manufactured races.

But that was not important, what was important were the last two sentences.

If Han wanted to complete this high level killing machine test, he must kill one million opponents in energy form within the specified time given! Otherwise, he would die inside the tower if the test was not completed.

Crazy! Those people from the pre-historic civilization that designed this kind of training were absolutely crazy!

The so-called specified time, was probably the total time minus the time Han already used on the previous tests.

Only 68 hours, Han must complete one million kills within 68 hours or he will be executed by the system!

There's no doubt that Han was extremely screwed. He finally passed the two previous tests, and the final test actually had such harsh conditions.

Han just felt a chill in his chest. To kill one million enemies within 68 hours, it was not a goal he could meet. Han was probably done today…

Shua~

The screen disappeared, and at the same time the floating tower began to activate. Beams after beams of energy shot down at the vacant ground beside Han, and the energy accumulated and took on a human form.

Souls of the dead appeared, just like those shown in movies. They only had a skeleton, no flesh, and inside their hands were weapons which the opponents from previous tests didn't have. All kinds of weapons, and they were all made from energy but Han doubted that they were any less deadly than the lethal real-world weapons.

The number of one million, like a miserably pale white desert, and Han was just like one little black grain of sand inside this desert. So lonely, so helpless.

"I can't die! I can't die here!" Han suddenly shouted, "Since I can't pass this god damn unreasonable test, then let either the fish die or net break, let's all crash and burn!"

As the last hope for the entire Earth, Han shouldered a huge responsibility. If he failed, then Earth will fall, and the 16 billion people on Earth will become someone's slave!

When humans were on the verge of death, they could always find incredible strength to survive, and Han was no exception.

Suddenly, Han's right arm began to turn black, the pitch black color, as deep as the endless night sky.

Dark Fist!

Rumble~

The huge impacts of his punch made the entire floating tower tremble!

Han's Dark Fist's target was no other but the alloy floor under his feet.

In other words, he decided to directly smash down the floating tower trapping him!

Waist down, exhausting all his strength, Han started continuously punching the ground!

Boom~

Boom~

Boom~

Han began to Dark Fist the floor beneath his feet like mad. He already calculated, the metal thickness of the walls and ceiling of the floating tower didn't have any weaknesses. The only weaknesses were beneath his feet. That should be where the central control system was located.

Since this goddam floating tower and this goddam Level 7 Test were so unreasonable, then I might as well smash it to the ground!

Kill one million energy form enemies? Han couldn't do it.

That being the case, he might as well just destroy the system!

Boom~

Boom~

Every punch fully contained the powerful and twisting power of the darkness, and all one saw was the alloy floor beginning to bend and twist. As Han forced his power into a single point on the ground, a funnel like hole began to appear on the floating tower's floor, a twisted funnel.

The Heart of Darkness's power was very strange, Han accidently activated this power because of his rage, and when the rage started burning inside the heart, darkness will creep in.

But now, Han had become thoroughly enraged! In addition, there was also his desperate desire to live!

This, no doubt, amplified the power from the Heart of Darkness!

Kacha~

Han chewed up a tenfold dose of nuclear energy pills.

"You and I are going to crash and burn!" Han grimaced, and shouted crazily.

A-19 Extinction Domain, inside a valley.

Lance and Lan Feng were on their way to the giant floating tower. They were all curious about why dozens of vacant towers merged together as one and what was really happening inside this huge floating tower.

"Lance, look! Isn't the tower a bit crooked now?" Lan Feng looked up at that giant thing in the sky and said while scratching his chin.

"How's that possible? This is the trial field for the prehistoric civilization, it has an automatic suspension system. It's very advanced… Wait, it does look a bit crooked, could there be something wrong inside the suspension system?" Lance looked up and he was startled. The gigantic tower in the sky did look a bit tilted to one side, and he could barely hear rumbling sounds from the inside too.

After a dozen more seconds…

"Lance, why do I feel like that tower is tilting even more?

"Ya it is, and it looks like it's titling towards our side."

"Lance, if you are right, then could the tower suddenly fall and hit us in the head?"

"Cut it, you crow mouth! Floating towers are after all an advanced design of the pre…. Oh shit! Run! This thing's falling!"

Lance and Lan Feng were shocked and they started running right away.

That thing falling was made up of dozens of floating towers united as a whole. It's diameter could easily cover hundreds of kilometers!

If such an enormous entity really fell from the sky, only god knows what would happen!

Consequence?

How can the Han right now care about the consequence? He already decided to crash and burn with that damn system!

Rumble~

"You don't want me to live, then let's fight until either the fish dies or the net breaks!"

Rumble~

Rumble~

Rumble~

"Holy crap! Crash already! Crash already! Crash already!"

Han's dark fist pummeled the floor like a hail storm. Right now, there was already a sunken pit of about a hundred meters in depth, but that was not enough to stop Han.

Han knew that the tower right now was beginning to tilt, but that was not Han's ultimate goal, he won't stop until this whole tower that was trapping him crashed to the ground!

Han's frenzied attacks not only tilted the floating tower, it also led to very strange reactions. The soul enemies began flickering. They were energy forms built and supported by the system, and now that the system had been damaged to some extent, those souls that were made from energy became extremely unstable.

Rumble~

Han landed another heavy punch on the alloy floor. Not knowing what was damaged this time, a series of sparks shot out of the pit, and soon the floating tower began to drop straight towards the ground. The interior began to experience zero-gravity due to the fast fall.

"Huh? Did I really succeed?" Han felt himself floating, and said to himself.

It must be known that the floating towers were able to stay up in the sky because of the magnetic suspension systems they installed at its bottom. Han smashed down at the bottom of the tower desperately, and after the floor sunk, he directly damaged the magnetic suspension system inside the floating tower.

Such a huge and heavy dangling tower, one out of balance, obviously will fall. After all, the prehistoric civilization designed this thing to carry out trials, not to get smashed by Han!

Shua~

A very serious question suddenly flashed inside Han's head.

Dozens of floating towers hitting the ground at the same time, can the ground bear the impact?

Just at that moment, the huge entity of several hundred kilometers in diameter already touched the ground, precisely, smashed into the ground.

Chapter 92: Star Pierce Moon Slayer

Rumble~

Hundreds of kilometers in diameter, the united floating tower slammed right into the ground. The consequence of the collapse was at a devastating level. the Earth was shaking violently. Thousands of miles of road gullies appeared on the ground, the ocean in the distance went on a rampage with strong tsunamis sweeping over the coastline.

Whether they were human survivors or dark beasts, everyone was shocked by this huge disaster. Frightened, they all looked up at the distance where the giant tower lied.

It was like a mountain, a majestic steel mountain that was diagonally inserted in the ground.

Just when everyone on the outside was almost at the state of mental breakdown, Han, the one that initiated all this, surprisingly realized all the enemies formed from the energy had disappeared.

Perhaps the crash's shock waves caused the collapse of part of the test system. In short, the inside of the floating tower became silent and dark again.

Han struggled as he got up. The impact of the crash also made Han suffer a certain degree of damage, but fortunately the floating tower's robust exterior protected him. All he felt was the severe turbulence.

"Now, how do I get out of here?" Han checked his body and thought.

He didn't know if his laser cannon could break through the thick alloy shell of the tower.

Laser weapons were accurate, strong in terms of heat and degree of impact. However, penetration wasn't its strong suit, especially for this type of small portable laser weapon. It was simply too difficult to deal with such a thick alloy wall. Maybe only the laser cannons equipped on giant battleships could be enough.

Just when Han was thinking, the screen that had always been giving Han instructions appeared again, flickering on and off.

The reason for the flickering should be because the auxiliary system was also subject to a certain degree of damage, but since the projection screen can still operate, it meant that the whole floating tower system wasn't completely destroyed.

"Advanced Killing Machine Test, Passed!"

Seeing the flashing text, Han was very surprised. After the system was destroyed it actually defaulted Han to pass the test!

All Han thought about was survival, he didn't expect this outcome.

"Please select the reward for Beginner Killing Machine Test."

As the screen changed, numerous dynamic holographic pictures with text appeared in front of Han.

Han realized his smashing method really smashed his way to pass the Level 7 Test!

This was really a big pleasant surprise! With Han's limit, the intermediate killing machine title was already the limit for him, but in the end, the Han that did not like to give up destroyed the system, and the system actually defaulted him to pass the last test!

"Great!" Han waved his fist, his excitement was palpable.

If Han was not mistaken, in the history of floating tower tests in the A-19, the best score achieved was passing Level 5 Test, but he passed Level 7. It was an unprecedented difficulty.

Shua~

A large number of reward items appeared in front of Han. Han packed up his excitement and began to carefully read through everything.

The reward for beginner killing machine title was a weapon, no exceptions. However, they didn't look too different from the ones being used by the Milky Way Alliance at the moment.

That was because that humans learned everything from the prehistoric civilization, including weapons. Forging a weapon to be used by espers was not an easy task. It involved complex alloy smelting and forging processes.

After all, an esper soldier's power was a lot more destructive than normal soldiers. Therefore, weapons designed for them needed to be strengthened repeatedly, and then adapted by the esper soldier's intensive use.

Although the style was the same, but these weapons left behind by the prehistoric domain was still significantly better in terms of quality. After all, the weapons obtained directly from the relic were original versions, and those forged by humans were knockoff versions. Of course there will be some gaps.

Han scratched his chin and found a weapon that he has never seen before. It was called the Star Pierce Moon Slayer. It was a composite type weapon, including one long and one short blade. The long one was called the Star Piercer, and the short one was called the Moon Slayer.

This type of weapon can be used when the two swords were combined, or he can take them apart and wield one in each hand. He could also combine both weapons' rear and use it as a bigger weapon.

One weapon, three ways to use, unmatched exquisite workmanship, unparalleled sharpness of the blades, as for the level it was also the highest among all the weapons. The description showed 6 stars; it was designed for the use of a 6–star quasi-warlord.

In fact, humans really learned a lot from the prehistoric civilization, even the esper ranking level system was learned from them.

"This one then." Han tapped on the screen.

Ka~

Then, a traction beam emerged and slowly handed the Star Pierce Moon Slayer to Han's side.

Next was the reward for medium killing machine title, and this time they were all combat suits. In terms of materials, they used high-strength fibers or metal fibers, soft metals, etc., as for the level of these battle suits, they were all 7 stars, which means that they were all built for beginner level warlords!

"Warlord level combat suit!"

Han's eyes suddenly lit up. His Black Kylin Combat suit had a torn up right arm and it was covered in scratches. Because there weren't better alternatives, Han was stuck with it. Now he really needed a higher level combat suit, and Warlord level combat suits simply couldn't be bought on the market, unless you had a powerful relationship network.

It was in Han's nature to like things that were unique, so he picked a battle suit called Elliptical Matrix.

Elliptical Matrix was a very interesting combat suit. It has no edges, with instead, a purely curved design, black. It also used nano-coating on the exterior which allowed it to produce little to no friction.

In simple terms, Elliptical Matrix was as slippery as a roach. Any enemy's fist hitting it will have its strength be relieved by the combat suit's oval design and slippery surface. It was also difficult to catch people that were in an Elliptical Matrix suit.

The Void End could deprive enemies of their ability, so Han didn't really care about how fancy their abilities are. He was just scared of siege battles, getting surrounded by melee or mobility type espers.

Once he had the Elliptical Matrix, the enemy's physical attack on Han will be greatly reduced, this feature was simply tailored for Han.

Soon, the traction beam sent Elliptical Matrix into Han's hand. Soon followed was the reward for Advanced Killing Machine title, and this time they were all blueprints.

Blueprints were not really drawings, but a large database on design and manufacture stored inside a disc.

In the Milky Way, there were little existences that were more valuable than blueprints. For example, for a frigate battleship that was sold at $1 billion, it will cost at least one thousand times that price to acquire that frigate's design, and that was one hundred billion GC!

And blueprints had no copy features. It was the basis of all industrial technology, from suspended motorcycle to a huge planetary level space base. They all needed a blueprint in order to be made.

The reward for passing the advanced killing machine test was a frigate level battleship's blueprint. Inside the relic, all the combat suits and weapons will be owned by espers, but all blueprints must be handed to the Alliance once this exploration event ends.

Since it will be turned over anyways, Han didn't really read carefully. According to his habit, he chose the most bizarre looking ship's blueprint again.

For Han, handing in blueprints meant contribution scores, and it was an important factor when ranking the survivors at the end. Han could only hand over the valuable blueprint, then say a sentence about not wanting Earth to be colonized by Sally Empire, then those big bosses at the Alliance will nod.

Otherwise, for an insignificant character like Han, how much will his words be weight? Last time, Ke Lake helped Earth avoid the fate of being colonized, and it was exchanged with countless priceless goods from the Extinction Domain.

Now that Han got these three babies in his hand, excluding the blueprint that he was going to hand in, this 6-star weapon and 7-star combat suit were both priceless treasures, Han was very content and he was planning to leave.

At that moment, the system gave out its fourth reward, Special Guest Reward.

This time, the system didn't let Han choose, but directly sent it to his side.

Chapter 93: Lunar Mark

Han was very puzzled because the beam didn't send him anything, didn't the system say there was a special guest gift? Could it be a system error?

Just as Han was thinking, the display lit up again. On top was written, "Passed three tests consecutively, won the Title of Advanced Killing Machine, special reward: Lunar Mark, one, hidden dimension storage tool, one thousand cubic meters of storage space, completely DNA binding, activates on thought."

Han was suddenly shocked.

These words meant, because he passed all three tests, the system rewarded him this thing called a Lunar Mark that can only be used by him?

The key feature of it was that its storage space was one thousand cubic meters?

In the Milky Way, an one cubic meter storage ring could be sold for 50 million GC, and a storage ring of 10 cubic meters was worth at least 700 million!

How much was a one thousand cubic meters' storage tool worth? Han was not sure, because such an advanced storage tool couldn't be bought! Even if it could be, it would be valued over one hundred billion GC right?

Moreover, the Lunar Mark was hidden. Han couldn't see it because it was still in stealth mode and it hasn't made it appearance yet.

"Lunar Mark?" Han thought.

Shua~

All he saw was a silver necklace in front of him with a forefront ornament.

Han quickly grabbed the Lunar Mark. Its texture was cool and smooth. He gently touched that black dimensional storm, and saw the enormous spaced inside! One thousand cubic meters! It could only be more not less!

"Stealth."

Han wore the Lunar Mark on his neck, and commanded it in his heart to be invisible.

Then, what silver necklace? The only thing left on his neck was the necklace that his mother left him.

Han was way too excited, this necklace was too awesome, not only does did it have a huge storage space, it could also become invisible?

That meant, even if he filled it up with all the goodies he found in the relic and got out, he wouldn't be caught by the Alliance because, after all, the Lunar Mark couldn't be seen or touched. It had already bounded with Han's DNA, which meant that it will only be opened upon summoning.

A large risk usually meant a larger reward. Han got 4 treasures in one swoop inside this Level 7 Trial field. Its total value was at least over two hundred billion GC! If Han can get out of here alive, he will be rich!

Kacha~

The gate that sealed the floating tower opened up. Han thought about it and decided to put on the Elliptical Matrix combat suit he just got, and put the Star Pierce Moon Slayer on his back. He then packed up his blueprint and strode out.

The scene outside surprised Han. Cracked ground, the earth was covered with bottomless ravines, huge mountains completely shattered by the huge tower. The whole scene was as tragic as if there had just been a world war.

"Han!"

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling him.

Han turned around. It turned out to be Lan Feng. He was still wearing his glasses on his familiar white face, but right now he looked like a mess. His body was covered by dirt with lots of sand in his hair.

Lan Feng ran down over to him in one breath, pointed at that huge united tower and said, "Did you do this?"

Han frowned, "Probably, why are you here too?"

Sigh~

Lan Feng sighed and said, "Of course I was forced by my family. I said I don't want to be a soldier, my parents said that I was a good for nothing and embarrassed our ancestors. Now look at me, I'm trapped inside the relic and they think I'm probably dead, now they should be crying right? If they had known, they probably wouldn't have sent me."

"Oh right, let me introduce a friend to you. Landis Mulin Lamu, come out, Han's not a stranger."

"Don't call me by my full name!"

Lance gave Lan Feng a fierce stare, walked out of stealth and smiled at Han.

Lan Feng looked at Lance and looked at Han, surprised, "So you two have already met?"

Han laughed and said, "Yes, we met once right outside of the dark hall. How are you?"

Lance pouted, "I'm okay, could've been better if I didn't almost get smashed in the head by that giant tower. Just what were you doing? How did you get that big thing fall to the ground? Lucky that we are both fast runners, otherwise we don't even be talking to you right now."

Han was reluctant to reveal too much, so he simply said, "It was just a trial, I don't even know why this thing fell to the ground while I was in it."

Lance looked around, and said in a deep voice, "We shouldn't stay here for too long, what just happened will probably attract over some dark beasts. We must leave here first and talk after we get to somewhere safe."

Lan Feng and Han both nodded.

Suddenly, at the corner of his eyes, Han saw a golden flower growing on something black. No matter how he looked at it, it looks like the dark fusion beast's remains that he buried earlier. Due to the impact of that huge tower falling from the sky, the Earth Claw's buried remains came back to the surface of the ground again.

"Give me one minute." Han said in a deep voice.

He rushed over, picked up the Earth Claw's remain with his two hands and carefully observed.

After dark fusion beasts die, they will turn into a ball of soft genetic material, but why is there a strange golden flower blooming on it? Han didn't know, but the weight of the Earth Claw's remains seemed to have increased a bit, and the middle felt pretty hard.

With great curiosity, Han gently broke apart this piece of genetic material, and saw a stone. It was black in color, inlaid with gold patterns and was very beautiful. When put under the nose, the stone even had a fragrance.

Han didn't discriminate against dark fusion beasts, the Earth Claw used his short life span and saved Han before. If it wasn't for him, Han would have probably died already in the belly of a dark beast. Or multiple dark beasts.

Thinking for a bit, Han took the stone into the storage ring and buried the rest of the Earth Claw back down into the soil.

"Han was that guy you mentioned that brought a dark fusion beast onto the battlefield?" Lan Feng saw Lance squinting his eyes and looking at Han, so he asked out of curiosity.

"Yep, we also said that if we both survive we will team up. According to my observation, he's much more reliable than you because he's a true warrior, and you are more like a poet." Lance said as he watched Han bury the Earth Claw.

Lan Feng pointed at the huge united tower and said, "He even brought this thing down from the sky, broke the system, and you say he's reliable?"

Uh~

Lance was speechless for a moment. That's true, although Han's speech gave off a feeling of reliability, his actions weren't that reliable. He used dark fusion beasts and he even brought down the tower. Just what does he have against laws and rules…

AWOOOO~

Suddenly, a shrill roar came from the distance, Lance suddenly hesitated and shouted, "Hurry, it's a dark beast herd."

Then, he laid on the floor with his ears close the ground.

Rumble~

Rumble~

The earth was slightly tremoring. Lance's face became pale; the quantity of dark beasts was probably at least one million.

So, all three of them ran right away. Lance apparently received scout training before so he led the way in front, and Han and Lan Feng closely followed him.

Although Lan Feng was wearing glasses and was a very sentimental guy, his running speed was actually faster than Han. During the pressure exam, Han accidently found out about Lan Feng's level, a pinnacle 5-star esper who was very close to 6-stars. He is for sure one of the few absolute geniuses in the Milky Way, but unfortunately his personality didn't make him suitable to be a soldier.

As for Lance, Han didn't know what level this stealth type esper was, probably not worse than Lan Feng. In the case where the vast majority of people were already dead, the survivors were obviously top-notch talents.

Han looked back. The herd of dark beasts really appeared. It was like a black tsunami that swooped through the valley and the desert towards them. Obviously, these monsters had found them, and began their chase!

Dark beast was just a general term. In fact, these monsters were divided into many types, some were like two-headed wolves, some were like the hybrid of a lion and cheetah, these were all produced from the gene factory by extracting genetic information of ferocious species in the Milky Way.

Perhaps the dark beast technology used by the prehistoric civilization still had some defects. These monsters all had no hair, black bare skin, with a creepy reflection shinning under the sun light.

The gap was getting smaller, and Han could even hear the gasping sounds of those dark beasts.

Millions of dark beasts! Han knew clearly, just the three of them alone won't be the opponent of that many dark beasts.

Just at this extremely critical moment, something strange surged!

Lance suddenly stopped, turned pale and shouted at Han and Lan Feng, "There's no road in front of us! It's a bottomless ditch!"

"Jump! Jump! Jump!" Han shouted, "Even if we die from the fall, our dead body will still be in one piece rather than be chewed up and digested!"

Sigh!

Lance anxiously stomped his foot, closed his eyes and jumped forward.

Right after he jumped, Lan Feng and Han also arrived, the two suddenly became dumbfounded, what kind of ditch is he talking about! It's a f*king abyss!

It's pitch black, who knows how deep it was!

"The fall will kill us!"

"Still better than getting chewed to death!"

Han didn't even give Lan Feng a chance to reply, he grabbed him by the neck and both of them jumped!

Chapter 94: The Helpless Earth

Plop~

Plop~

Plop~

No one knew how long they've spent in darkness before Han and the other two fell into icy water.

"You guys okay?"

"I'm fine, Lan Feng?"

"I'm here, are you guys okay?"

When the three men stuck their heads out of the water, the first thing they did was ask each other if they were safe. That warmed Han's heart, at least Lance and Lan Feng were not those kind of self-serving soldiers. Now under this situation, they needed to rely on each other in order to make it out of this crazy A-19 Relic alive.

Shua~

A phantom-like white arm appeared from the bottom of the lake. Looks like that was Lan Feng's power, he could summon an arm out of thin air to salvage his glasses.

Han saw Lan Feng using his phantom arm to pick up his glasses and was surprised, "You are a Fantasy descent esper?"

Lan Feng explained like it was not a big deal, "Yep, my power is called Phantom Seeker, it has an okay combat strength. Otherwise, my parents wouldn't have forced me to become a soldier."

Han knew, Lan Fen was for sure being modest.

Fantasy descents were divided into two categories. One was virtual and one was real. Virtual fantasy was like a movie, it can be seen but not felt, and Lan Feng's power was clearly the higher level real fantasy type. The phantom arm he summoned looks like a mirage but it can be used to easily strangle the enemy.

On the side, Lance interrupted, "It seems that we are lucky, those dark beasts didn't follow us and jump, and I thought that they would desperately come down with us.

Han's eyes were grave, he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't think this is lucky, maybe those dark beasts knew how scary it is down here so they didn't dare to jump."

"It can't be, right? There's still something that they dark beasts are scared of?" Lance felt that Han's words were a bit terrifying so he showed a little disbelief.

"Shhh, there seems to be a light coming over." Han suddenly raised his eyes and said to Lance and Lan Feng.

They just saw a little dot of light, weak like a firefly, slowly approaching them.

"It's just a little thing, probably a fly." Lan Feng gently touched his dimensional storage ring, took out a compound light stick, gently bent it, and threw it towards the little light source.

Shua~

The light stick was activated, the light gradually strengthened, and shortly the lake and the underground world lit were illuminated.

When Han and the other two took a look at that "firefly", they were about cry….

What firefly! It was a huge fish with a blob of fat on its head. Aside from that blob of fat, the rest of its body was pitch black. Its teeth were all randomly grown out of its mouth, and each tooth was at least half a meter long and sharper than blade.

"Oh shit, it's a monster fish!" Lan Feng shrunk his head and said.

"Wrong, it's not just one, but a school." Han's eyes coldly scanned around and said in a deep voice.

Inside the dark icy lake, countless light dots were swarming in, like stars in the sky.

Miracle System, 4th Star.

Relic Exploration was one of the routine activities at every Milky Way Meet, and what was more important was the executive summit that was being participated by the representatives of the 13 thousand human countries in Milky Way.

The Milky Way's Executive Summit was also held for 30 days. After the soldiers return from the relic, the summit just finishes too. At that time, a great feast will be held to celebrate the victorious return of the soldiers and also a successful summit of the executives.

After that would be the general assembly and distribution phase. The soldiers that successful return from the extinction domain will be rewarded according to their contribution, and those treasures they handed in to the Alliance will be distributed among the powerful countries.

Although it was one of the biggest events in the Milky Way, this year it was a bit grey due to the tragedy happening in the A-19.

As of today, the number of survivors had fallen below one thousand. It was a casualty rate of over 99% and was without question a disaster that will affect the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

But existences like politicians were extremely stone-hearted. Although on various occasions, when facing with the news media, the head politicians in various countries all act as if they are under extreme pain, and those with good acting can even cover their face with tears.

Then, turning their face over, these politicians began to fight for their own interests during the summit again. To them, young people can be fostered again, but gains are something they must fight for.

Conspiracy, secret operations, the most cunning politicians were all gathered together at the Milky Way Meet. You can imagine how dark this meeting was going to be. Politicians can just move their lips a few times, and they can decide the life and death of billions of civilians. Technology, weapons, people, territory, none of them couldn't be traded for in the eyes of a politician, nor is there anything that can stop them from trading it.

The young soldiers inside the A-19 extinction domain were still struggling, but the Milky Way Meet was already being held in accordance with the established schedule. Everyday, at that luxurious and huge conference, countless trades were being performed.

Earth, as one of the weakest countries in the Milky Way Galaxy, didn't have the right to vote, nor have the right to any shares of the loot from the relic. All they do is send a representative to sit in the corner.

The Prime Minister of Earth Pan Yulin was especially tense today. He sat in the corner and from time to time he would wipe the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief. Secretary Rhodes who came with him had his fists clenched tightly since the beginning of the meeting, and his hands had turned numb ages ago.

Today was the key moment that decided the fate of Earth. The Sally Empire proposed to colonize Earth, and if no accidents happened today, the Milky Way Alliance will discuss the issue and cast a vote on this issue.

"Prime Minister, do not stress, we had visited more than 300 delegates, and even if 30% of the delegates support us, then we will have about 100 votes, and the Alliance will consider our request." Secretary Rhodes whispered beside Pan Yulin's ears.

Sigh~

Pan Yulin sighed and said, "I don't dream about 30%, if there can be even 20 I will be extremely thankful."

Rhodes quickly said, "Prime Minister, don't worry, reason is not on the side of Sally Empire, directly reallocating the control of a country to another country as a colony. Earth did not do anything wrong, how can they be that unreasonable?"

Pan Yulin lightly nodded but didn't say anything.

Reason was what he is relying on the most, he felt that the Alliance wouldn't be unreasonable, right?

Earth had always been living a peaceful life on its own. Although poor, it did not ask for any subsidies from the Alliance. If such a low-key and cautious country was going be colonized, then there really isn't any justice.

Ever since coming here, Pan Yulin and his team has been running around day and night, visiting all the politicians that they could talk to. They had been treated with courtesy, but they had also been directly kicked out before. For the sake of Earth, Pan Yulin and the diplomatic team had no complaints, even when people curse in front of their face, Pan Yulin still kept a smile on his face.

In order for the people on Earth to continue live freely, Pan Yulin was willing to put up with all of that.

Today is the moment that decides the fate.

The summit for over 13 thousand countries, there were many issues so everything processed quickly.

Finally, the anchor of today's summit, Prime Minster Pastore from Gainlead Republic, said in a deep voice, "End of last topic, Macaron Empire must return Jim Gill Federation the 13 cargo ships, otherwise the Alliance will apply economic sanctions to the Macaron Empire. This decision is final, no appeal."

"The next topic is, Alliance Member Sally Empire propose to colonize Observer Member Earth, please see document B517 for details."

"In this document, Sally Empire listed 29 evidences that Earth, as a sovereign country, is too weak, among the last 100 places in the entire Milky Way."

"But does Sally Empire have sufficient reason to accept Earth as a colony? This question needs the careful consideration of delegates. If there's something you want to say, please press the button in front of you."

Right after Pastore finished, beside him, also a presentative from the 12 Permanent Managing Member countries, Prime Minister Mode of the Ganges Republic asked to speak.

Pastore smiled and asked, "Prime Minister Mode, do you want to say something about this matter?"

Mode nodded lightly.

He showed no emotion on his face and said in a deep voice, "On behalf of the Gange Republic, I support Sally Empire's proposal. Earth Federation is incompetent, unworthy as a sovereign country to stay in the Alliance."

Wooo~

Mode just said the sentence, and the huge summit hall began to discuss quietly, and there was not a second person that asked to talk.

Pastore sighed, and shook his head slightly.

The 12 Permanent Management Members of the Alliance were too powerful. Usually they don't participate in such a small proposal, but Mode opened his mouth today so the proposal was basically nailed down.

The other permanent members wouldn't think it was worth it to offend a country of the same level just to protect a small planet, and lower grade countries obviously wouldn't dare to offend a giant like Ganges so they didn't dare to say anything.

Pastore looked as usual and said, "Since no one else has comment, then we will immediately vote. Representatives that are against this proposal, please press the signal light in front of you and justify your objection. If unopposed, then the sovereign power of Earth will be handed to the Sally Empire after the meeting, and at the same time cancel all rights and obligations Earth Federation has at the Alliance."

Voice down, the hall was silent.

Pan Yulin's eyes gazed at the lights behind the podium.

The number was zero.

After three seconds, the number of countries opposed to the proposal, is still zero.

Pan Yulin felt like his heart is being grinded up like ground meat.

He did that much work, begged so many people, and spent all the money Earth had saved through living frugally to buy generous gifts for those big figures he thought could help Earth.

But when it came down to the crucial moment of the vote, there's not a single person that supports Earth?!

Not even one!

Gengci~

Pan Yulin was very angry, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth.

Chapter 95: Underground Cemetery

Pastore's eyes scanned the audience from the podium, and said lightly, "Since there is no objection, then this matter is decided, Earth Federation from now will be transferred under the jurisdiction of Sally Empire as a colony."

"Wait!" Shouted Pan Yulin from the corner.

He stood up, took the handkerchief Rhodes delivered to him and wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth. Everyone almost all looked over to him at the same time. Many people had sympathetic eyes, but they were still afraid to stand out for Earth against the powerful Ganges Republic.

The presiding Pastore was slightly dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice, "Who is disturbing the proceedings of the summit?"

Pan Yulin said, "Alliance's 57th Star Region, Earth Federation Prime Minister Pan Yulin. I disagree with the resolution of the Alliance!"

Just as he finished, everyone heard Sally Empire's Chancellery Levi sneering, "The constitution law already states that observer member countries don't have the right to speak or vote, so you are not qualified to talk here!"

Pan Yulin spoke loudly, "There are 15 billion inhabitants on Earth, and I'm not even qualified to represent them?!"

Pan Yulin's anxious eyes became red. His face grim. Pastore slightly sympathized with him and was also afraid that Pan Yulin would really have a heart attack or something at the meeting, making it awkward for everyone, so he said in a deep voice, "You are allowed to speak, but keep it short and pick only the important points."

Pan Yulin nodded and said, "I just want to make three points. First, we, the Earth Federation, advocates freedom! To force us to join the Sally Empire and become its colony, no one on Earth will agree!"

Prime Minister Mode of the Republic of the Ganges, who sat on the podium, coldly said, "Observer Member countries don't have voting rights. This is the Alliance charter, which you earthlings have signed before. The Alliance wants the tiny Earth to join Sally Empire because of the overall picture. After all, with your puny strength, it will be very hard for Earth to survive in the Milky Way. The voting result is the final resolution of the Alliance, your protest is invalid!"

Woooo~

Quiet discussions began again. No one knew how many benefits the Sally Empire gave to the Ganges Republic, but it seems that this time the Ganges has decided to help Sally Empire take over Earth. Unfortunately for Pan Yulin, he spared no effort for the sake of Earth, but to encounter a powerful figure like Mode, it was no different then striking a rock as an egg. He can only consider it bad luck…

Pan Yulin gritted his teeth, tried his best to calm his grief at that moment and continued, "Second, the exploration of the relic isn't over yet. We still have an elite fighter on the battlefield, if you want to talk about this issue, we should at least wait for the return of that soldier!"

"What a joke!" Sally Empire's Chancellery Levi sneered again, "You guys are at least a sovereign country, but you only have one soldier qualified for the event! That's enough to show how incompetent Earth is! I wasn't going to make fun of you on that, and you actually brought it up yourself, do you have any sense of shame?"

"The relic has only been opened for five days, and the casualty rate is already high at 99%. That means there are less than 1000 survivors, so what makes you think that your soldier can come out alive?"

Just as his voice faded, Mode followed, "Even if your soldier makes it out alive, so what? Last time the Alliance didn't pass the proposal to colonize Earth because Ke Lake from your planet made a huge contribution to the Alliance, you must remember that!"

Mode and Levi echoed each other, working together to strangle Pan Yulin's argument.

Pan Yulin's face could not be more pale. He knew clearly that this time, Earth was probably doomed, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Third, our planet Earth has a B-class domain! According to the Constitution, countries that can explore B-class relics automatically gain the identity of a Member country of the Alliance!"

"If after the exploration event ends, Han couldn't make it out of the relic, then Earth Federation will open the B-class extinction domain itself, in order to prove it worthy as a Member country and a free sovereign country!"

Woo~

All the representatives present began whispering. Earth had an unopened B-class domain, only a few countries knew that, and it is still the first time for the majority members to hear that a small planet like Earth actually has a B-class domain.

"No wonder the Ganges Republic and Sally Empire are that aggressive and determined to colonize Earth."

"Yep, B-class relics are divided into many types. If the one on Earth belongs to the more valuable types, then that is a huge fortune."

"Looks like this representative of Earth was really forced into a corner, he even revealed their B-class relic to the public, that's equal to hanging himself on fire. That way, not only the Sally Empire wants Earth, there will be more countries that will start acting in secret."

"Sigh, with the current power of Earth, forcefully activating the B-class relic is like suiciding. If a herd of dark beasts get out of the relic, then their whole planet will be in trouble."

"Wouldn't that be better? If the people on Earth are all killed by the roaming dark beasts, then the planet will be easily occupied by other countries and they won't even have to be responsible for those inhabitants on Earth."

The politicians at the scene were busy discussing, who didn't like a B-class relic? Among the 6 thousand Member Countries, only a few had B-class relics. If Earth could actually explore that relic, not to mention upgrading from Observer to Member country, Earth might even upgrade to the level of Temporary Management country.

But, the consequence of Pan Yulin's desperate attempt was obvious. Now, not only Ganges and Sally, even more big countries began eyeing Earth.

Pan Yulin, as the Prime Minister of Earth, obviously knew the risks associated with revealing this to the public, but he really had no other way. If the meeting didn't go well, then he will forcefully activate the B-class domain. That plan was made before he left for this Meet.

Levi's face began to look kind of bad. They didn't expect Earth to still have a little tough bone, and they are even carrying out that trick to let either the fish die or the net breaks. (TL: so both Earth and Sally Empire doesn't get the B-class relic because other stronger countries will join the battle for Earth.)

Mode sneered and gave Levi a signal, the meaning was clear, "If Earth opened the B-class relic, then they are dead. If they don't, they will be the prey of other strong countries so they are still dead. Either way, don't worry, Earth is doomed."

Pastore, the man presiding the summit slightly frowned and said in a deep voice, "Earth has a B-class relic? You should have mentioned it earlier. Now that the voting phase have been completed, the results cannot be easily overturned. After the end of the Exploration event, if your soldier can't make enough contributions to the Alliance, then Earth will still be transferred to Sally Empire as a colony." "I have decided, to postpone the vote until after the end of the Extinction Domain exploration event. If there are no comments, we will move on to the next issue."

Plop~

Pan Yulin sat back down in his corner position, his brain was completely blank.

In the A-19 Extinction Domain.

After several consecutive hours of tough battles, the school of monster fish finally got eliminated by Han and the other two. They finally climbed onto the shore, and all of them were breathing heavily.

"Han. Your Dark Fist is really powerful, those strange fish all died in one punch. There isn't even any remains left." Lan Feng put back on his glasses and said.

Han said, "Don't say that, both of you guys did more. Lance diverted a portion of the monsters, and you have a very strong control power and dragged all those fish out of the water one by one and sent them towards me. If it wasn't for you guys, the battle would not have ended so smoothly."

Lance is an outspoken person, he waved his hand and said, "Let's not flatter each other, it's fortunate that our abilities are complementary, Lan Feng is good with control, I can stealth and move, and you have a good attack. We should use our combos and get out of this place."

Han nodded, battle was the best thing that improve the relationship between soldiers. Through continuous fighting, the three of them now have the initial trust and cooperation, and in this kind of strange and extremely dangerous environment, it was better to have a companion than to be roaming around by oneself.

"You are right, it's not good to stay by the lake any longer, maybe there might be other monsters staring at us right now. We should leave this place first." Han said in a deep voice.

So, Lance stealthed himself and led the way while Lan Feng and Han followed. The three left the dangerous underground lake, and began to advance towards the front where it was more open using light sticks to illuminate the road.

The vacant land was underground, very open. Above was a bluestone dome and on the ground was many decadent weapons.

Kacha~

Han felt he crushed something under his feet. He quickly ducked his body to look, it seems like there was a small hill of soil beside every weapon that was stuck on the ground. Looking closely, inside every hill lied a skeleton. Han accidently stepped on the head of a skeleton which broke the skull.

Han looked around. Under each weapon was a body, does that mean, this is a cemetery?
