Chapter 236: Hand of Darkness
This thing looked like a person's hand bones. The fingers and joints were all there. It was not made of bone however, but rather a black crystal.
Han became very excited, because he had already absorbed two pieces, one Heart of Darkness, and another Genu of Darkness.
"Could this be the Hand of Darkness? The third one of the Dark Celestial King's Set of Seven?" Han mumbled to himself in excitement.
He quickly turned to Sha Emperor's daily log and found the relevant content.
It turned out this this was really the Hand of Darkness, and it was something Sha Emperor obtained while traveling through the Memphis galaxy. It is said that two dark crystals appeared in the Memphis Galaxy, and Sha Emperor killed many people to get the Hand of Darkness.
The Heart of Darkness allowed Han's right eye to activate special vision, and it also allowed Han to use the power of darkness in his attacks. On the other hand, the Genu of Darkness enhanced Han's speed and stamina.
Of course, Han now knew very well the seven crystals left behind by the dark king had a huge empowering effect. After Han used the Genu of Darkness, his right eye's dark vision also became more powerful than before.
In other words, the enhancement on an individual by the dark crystal must be assessed from an overall level, and absorbing additional crystals will enhance the abilities gained from other crystals.
Thinking for a second, Han took out a pair of black gloves from the Lunar Mark, with a metal texture.
This set of gloves were found together with the Genu of Darkness, but Han tried it on multiple times with no effect. It wouldn't improve his attack, nor enhance his defense, as if the pair of gloves were not activated at all.
Now that Han had the Hand of Darkness, maybe after absorbing it, this pair of equipment that was suspected to come from the Dark King could finally be useful, right?
Thinking about that, Han stored both the hand and gloves back into his Lunar Mark.
He had previously only felt that someone was spying on him, and ended up catching such a big fish, killing one of the kings of the Witch Clan and getting such a huge benefit.
Hand of Darkness, Parasitic Puppet technique, and the location of the next dark crystal.
Memphis was a distant star system in another area of the Milky Way Alliance in the complete opposite direction of the Oblivion Realm.
According to intel, the Memphis star system retained a rare primitive religion in the Milky Way, and consequently, the most fanatical believers of the primitive religion. That is where the Witch Clan was based, and because the Witch Clan was loyal to all major countries in the Milky Way, their base wasn't targeted too much.
Estimating with the star map, it will take more than a month of flight for Han to get there from where he is, so there wasn't enough time already. Han still needed to attend the judgement arena that will decide his fate.
As for the Hand of Darkness, Han didn't plan on using it immediately. Fact has proven that using the dark crystals every time was a hellish endeavor, so a deliberate decision must be made carefully.
Han quickly returned to Earth. The thought of using parasitic puppets to control fusion beasts was already making him very excited.
He began to study puppet techniques in his own lab in the Nazca base, completing shutting himself up and constantly experimenting with the methods.
Of course, Han wouldn't forget to practice martial arts at the transfer station. All in all, Han was very busy every day,.
Continuously learning, continuously practicing, spending a lot of time to better himself, that was Han's life.
Time passed day by day, and one day, Han finally came out of the lab, going directly to the bottom floor of the base where the molecular module was stored.
It was time to go to the judgement arena now, and the success or failure depended on his skills.
If Han wins, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to the final destination, or even get the Star Lord title, becoming an official member of the Dark Net Corporation, and gain access to unimaginable benefits and convenience.
If he loses, he might die, or may lose the chance to enter the deep level of dark net forever.
Huu~
Han let out a long breath, opened the particle module, and laid himself in it.
The program was as accurate as usual. After a few minutes when Han opened the particle module the hyper teleportation had already sent him to the trial court.
On this open ground, there were some people. They had all arrived here too and were putting away their particle modules, and then following the signs to enter the main arena.
Han saw many strange people here. There was a guy whose whole body was blue, and emanated a dim cold light like a deep-sea creature, with two ears like snails.
There was also another guy, his face looking like an octopus with tentacles for a beard.
They were all intelligent species that came from Han's sector.
According to what Han knew, the universe was divided into an unknown number of large sectors, and then there were normal sectors below it, and then small sectors below that.
The reason why Han can always meet people from the God Race was because humans and the God Race were the most populated intelligent races in the same small sector, and other alien races were really rare.
But this time, the judgement trial was at the normal sector level, so there were also many opponents from other small sectors that will be joining.
All in all, in the small sector that Han belonged to, all the intelligent lives were humanoid creatures, but everyone had different features.
According to the information Han gathered, all intelligent lives likely came from the same kind of spores, and for some reason, these spores were scattered throughout the universe, and after millions of years of evolution, they ultimately formed to the intelligent life groups seen now.
It's also because they all came from the same spores, that all intelligent lives look similar, all standing upright with two arms and two legs, and the differences grew as they progressed through evolution.
Just like the god race, the genetic mutation that took place during evolution opened a suture on their forehead.
And these strange-looking people Han was looking at now, some of their genetic mutations were even more prominent than the God Races, but some other people looked just like a human, not going through any different genetic mutations.
It was a pretty interesting event to gather all these different types of humanoid intelligent lifeforms all to one place.
Han also found that not only the appearance of these people didn't differ much, even their temperaments were quite alike. They all came here because they broke the Path of All Gods' rules, so most of them were really rebellious and impatient.
But they knew that they would get kicked out soon if they don't change their behavior, so all of them tried hard to restrain themselves.
Han also stowed away his Molecular Module, followed the signs, passed through a jungle and arrived at a seemingly endless plain.
People that came here couldn't help but gasp in shock, because there was a big lake on this plain. It was boundless, like the ocean, with emerald colored water, crystal clear, giving people a very unreal feeling. Han even suspected that it was not water in this lake, but a specially blended solution.
Otherwise there was no explanation as to why this lake was so attractive, so crystal clear, and exuded a perfumed aroma.
Everyone gathered near the lake and looked at the lake in surprise.
Someone reached out their hand and scooped up some of the liquid. The texture of it was like oil, very slippery and dense.
The alien then took a drink, before starting to vomit right away, constantly coughing on the grass.
Han stood by the lake and pouted his mouth, slightly frowning.
The initial amazing feeling of the lake when he first saw it already disappeared, because Han felt that although the lake was very beautiful, it was lifeless.
Not long after, when all the participants of the judgment trial showed up, the emerald colored lake suddenly began to boil, and from the center of the lake, a dark hole surfaced.
It was revealed to be a giant monster's mouth, with a pink tongue and rows of pale white teeth.
The beast's mouth =was open, and a man in black cloth stood on the pink tongue. He cleared his throat, and began to speak.

Chapter 237: Jian Jia
Just when Han was feeling suspicious, the man standing in the beast's mouth suddenly spoke.
"Welcome to the start of the judgement trial." The man in black shouted, "You are all people that did not abide by the rules on the Path of All Gods, but I hope you can learn to respect the rules here Otherwise you will be disqualified from the Path of All Gods, or even die."
"You won't be able to get stronger, won't be able to become a god, and won't be able to see the truth of the universe. I think, these are all undesirable results in your eyes as well."
"So, long story short, the trial race begins now. The first race, you all have to follow me and cross this lake. Flying is prohibited, and so are any mechanical or other forms of help. The only way is to swim."
"Remember, this is a competition, but also a trial. The rules are very simple, the weak will be eliminated."
Then, the beast with a giant mouth began to travel through the lake, and that man in black continued watching the thousands of people on the shore that were waiting to be tested.
Poof~
Someone already jumped into the emerald lake, following that monster and that man in black was the rule of this trial.
Suddenly, the lake shore began as lively as boiling water. Everyone jumped into the lake and started swimming forward, including Han.
At first, the monster wasn't going too fast, but it gradually accelerated, and the sounds of battle and crying for help came from the back of the group.
Han curiously looked behind him, there were some people that caught a guy at the back, pressing his head into the water as he struggled.
"Those are the executioners of the trial, they are among us and they murder people that don't keep up." Someone beside Han said.
This guy was pretty interesting, doing a backstroke with his eyes closed. He was carrying his hands in his arms and only paddled with his two legs, looking like he was sleeping. His skin was taken care of very well, even more crystalline and paler than a young girl. His facial features could also be considered to be pretty handsome.
Han frowned, "Executioners? Are there a lot of them?"
That good-looking young man replied, "Not sure. These Path of All Gods guys always like to come off as mysterious and unpredictable. I participated in judgement trials before, and the most ridiculous time, 70% of the contestants were executioners, and the least one had only a dozen or so."
"That's how the Path of All Gods has always been, it all depends on all the gods' mood."
Han was very surprised and asked, "Looks like you were trialed for more than once."
The delicate-looking young man nodded, "Yep, happens every time I violate the rules, so annoying."
It's hard to imagine, this person that seems to be around the same age as Han has already been trialed multiple times.
Han laughed and said, "Why would you tell me this? I don't know you, maybe you are one of the executioners and you are trying to get my guard down on purpose."
That young man glanced at Han with the corner of his eye and said with a little disdain, "Indeed you can't rule out the possibility that I'm an executioner, and as to why I approached you, you can take a look around yourself, how many normal-looking humans are there? They are mostly a bunch of freaks."
Han looked around, in the presence of thousands of people, there were indeed only a few humans. Besides Han and this guy, the other humans were all a bunch of old people. This was probably why this delicate-looking guy took the initiative to talk to him.
Han shook his head and whispered, "This universe is really f*cked up. If someone wants to become stronger, then they must go through mutations, but after mutating, you will look more like an ugly monster. Logically speaking, people should feel embarrassed for looking like a freak, but people are desperate enough to become like monsters just to become stronger."
"I really think that, after a few more eras, there will no longer be normal-looking humans in the universe. Because these monsters went through genetic mutation, they are stronger."
"In the future when evaluating who's stronger, people don't need to fight anymore. They can just judge the result by the appearance, whoever's more strange-looking and unlike a human, must be stronger."
The young man started laughing after hearing what Han said, and he almost swallowed some of the disgusting lake water.
He turned over, swam side-by-side with Han and patted him on the shoulder. He said with a smile, "You are an interesting guy, my name is Jian Jia, you?"
"Han."
Jian Jia whispered by Han's ear, "I will tell you a little secret."
"What is it?"
Jian Jia proudly said, "In fact, humans that didn't go through genetic mutation are not as bad as you think." There's a law in the universe, and it's called the Law of Elite Conservation."
"Simply put, if a race is filled with espers, like the God-Race, then it will be very rare to see a super elite coming out from their race, and their potential is also lower."
"And us humans, although our race is generally weak, we have a higher chance of having warriors with huge potential, which can ultimately become super elites."
Han understood Jian Jia's words, this was balance. It is hard for a powerful race to produce a warrior with a super high potential, because they were already very strong.
But weak races were more likely to have super elites because the race was too weak and it needed super elites to continue to survive. The higher selective pressure will force the weaker species to train harder and become stronger.
Looking at Jian Jia's arrogant little fox face, Han already understood what he's thinking. Jian Jia was that guy with super talents that came from the weak human race.
Listening to his tone of disdain, passing judgment trials was as easy as playing a game for him because he had unlimited potential. That's what caused him to eventually become arrogant enough to not put the rules in his eyes.
Towards this kind of genius, Han could not compare. He wasn't even born with his super power, and his Void End power was acquired by luck later on.
Looking at Han's achievements, one couldn't say that Han has no talent at all, but he mostly relied on his will and the endless hard work he puts himself through behind the stage. Han's not only merciless towards enemies, he was even more brutal towards himself when learning and training.
And Jian Jia, he's the kind of guy in legends, that just casually became an elite. Oh well, this is the so-called talent.
The judgement trial was very boring, one day and one night passed. The other end of the lake was still not seen in sight, and that man in black that's leading everyone swimming was currently sleeping with the monster's tongue as a pillow.
"When is this going to end?" Han frowned and asked Jian Jia.
Jian Jia pouted and replied, "At least a week, sometimes one or two months is possible too. After all this is a trial, and those people ruling the Path of All Gods want us to remember the lesson, that's why they will spare no effort to torture us."
"One month?!" Han almost shouted.
To Han, time was everything!
He trained this hard, almost not sleeping every day like an overworking machine operating at full speed.
He doesn't have a whole month to waste here in this lake. Although his body could handle it, but he was totally against the idea of doing it.
Wasting time is like murdering his own life!
"What's the condition of ending the trial?" Han asked Jian Jia.
"Very simple, whoever falls behind during the swim will be killed by the executioners at the back. This is like a natural law of elimination, and it will be over when the number is reduced by half."
Han turned around to look, after one day and one night, only a few people were killed. After all everyone are soldiers, it's not so easy for them to keep up with the team.
But it's estimated that after a long time, most people will eventually get tired and get eliminated. But, there's no sign of that happening any time soon.
"The F*ck!" Swearing words suddenly came out from Han's mouth as he stopped swimming and turned around.
Jian Jia also stopped, and curiously asked Han, "What are you doing?"
Han placed a hand on the Lunar Mark, and he said in a deep voice, "Those executioners that are following us, what happens if I kill them?"
Oh shieet, btw im going to get fcked by midterms in the upcoming week. One each on Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then I have to pull all-nighters to do some competition. But after that I have a week of break off school so we can have the sexy fun time again.
I will release on next Saturday again, there will be 4 chapters for free.

Chapter 238: Time to Kill!
Jian Jia was shocked. He couldn't believe his ears, Han was actually thinking about killing all these executioners?! These were the Path of All God's people!
"Why do you have to kill them?" Jian Jia asked in curiosity.
Han replied, "First, since the rule requires the executioners to kill a certain number of participants in order for the trial to be over, then the trial can no longer continue if I kill all the executioners. It will have no choice but to end."
"Second of all, the number of participants obviously outnumbers the executioners, and are collectively more powerful. But everyone is being chased by a dozen executioners from behind, why? Why can't we just kill them?"
Jian Jia became speechless. What a whimsical guy, Han used his unorthodox logic and inferred that, as long as the executioners were all killed, then the test will immediately end. This was something Jian Jia never thought of.
During the time Jian Jia blanked out, he had already arrived at the back of the group with Han. The dozen executioners were all dressed in black and fully covered, with blades in their hands. They eyed Han and Jian Jia mercilessly.
Kacha~
Han already made up his mind. He took out his Star Strangling Boa right away and pushed Jian Jia to the side at the same time, and then charged up.
"Void domain!" Han said in his mind.
Those dark net executioners obviously didn't expect someone would come at them. The main group were all desperately moving forward, afraid of falling behind, but this Han guy just turned around. Could it be that he wants to suicide?
The moment Han's void domain opened, the executioners all panicked as well. Losing their power right away, who could stand this pressure? They just swung their arms and nothing came out, as if all their powers were robbed by someone.
Gengci~
Gengci~
Taking advantage of this opening, Han directly eliminated two.
Demon Strike was the same in water, just needing to strike. When the executioners tried to cut Han, he not only didn't hide, but used an even bigger force to strike back!
Gengci~
Gengci~
At the same time, Han noticed that two more people joined the battle. One of them was Jian Jia, his face covered in excitement, as if a kid had noticed many fun toys, and the other one was a blue guy Han doesn't know.
Both Jian Jia and the blue guy were very powerful, and under a minute, most of the executioners were dead, leaving behind 2 or 3 with pale faces, unable to pose any kind of threat to Han.
Shua~
The man in black lying asleep in the monster's mouth suddenly stood up, He looked in the distance in disbelief, at the battlefield where Han and the other two were massacring the executioners. Now that the situation had progressed to this stage, the result was already determined, with the last executioner been sent flying by the blue guy's round shield.
Everyone else were also very surprised, staring at Han and the other two, but also desperately swimming forward.
"Sh*t happens every year, especially this year." The man in black cloth muttered, and then said to the big mouth monster, "Game over, let's dock."
Om~
The big mouth monster issued a low sound, as if it understood something. It changed direction and also accelerated.
The blue man nodded towards Han and said a little emotionally, "I heard you guys' conversation. You are right, why should we be killed?! I'm also not convinced, like you! Let us together f*ck them in the face!"
Han thought for a second, not saying anything. To be honest, it was more because he didn't want to waste time. As to other people getting killed, Han didn't really care…
This blue guy was called Bo Ya, filled with hot blood. After hearing Han's rebellious words, he actually became an admirer, and kept on saying that he will f*ck people in the face with Han!
F*ck who in the what, Han didn't even know what was happening, but he just vaguely accepted.
Han and the other two returned to the group, and now everything was fine. Without the executioners chasing after them, people just needed to follow this big mouth monster to not get eliminated, so everyone all relaxed a lot.
This smurf-like Bo Ya guy, not only was he hot-blooded, he was also a big mouth. When people asked why he went to kill the executioners, he just kept on repeating what Han said, how come they get to kill us but not the other way around? Not fair! They should just f*cking fight back!
And the f*cking other people in the face was not something Han said, but something Bo Ya added himself.
Among these people that were getting trialed, there were many hot-blooded young and middle-aged man like Bo Ya, and they all started looking at Han with a little admiration.
"Hey, your ability is pretty powerful, it can actually offset my power?" Jian Jia whispered to Han.
Then, Han made the gesture of stripping someone naked and said, "Not offset, it's robbing. But that's nothing, also I can strip away people's power, but I don't have any other special powers myself."
Jian Jia seemed to not like Han's stripping gesture, blushed a little, and he turned his face around and muttered, "You, so vulgar!"
"Yep." Han was thinking of something else, so he coincidently agreed.
After Han, Jian Jia and Bo Ya eliminated the executioners, this big mouth monster quickly led everyone back to the shore.
There are many people among the participants that heard that this type of judgement competition would take very long and was full of torture. They were finding it unbelievable that they finished it this quickly.
Now Bo Ya's words became even more convincing and he shouted passionately, "Look, look! If we didn't fight back, who knew how much longer we will be tortured for! Han's right, why should we let other people judge us?! We have to f*ck them in the face!"
"I never said to f*ck them in the face." Han muttered, wanted to go up and explain, but he felt that it wouldn't really do any good. Seeing how a group of simple fighters swearing over there, his explanation would probably make the situation more chaotic.
Jian Jia was a pretty careful person. After getting on shore, he let out a cleaning UFO shaped thing. It was only the size of a hand, and it circled around him, cleaning up all the dirt on his body and even dried his hair.
As for Han, he just shook himself, got rid of the greasy blue water and that's all.
The big mouth monster sunk into the bottom of the lake, the man in black that was in that monster's mouth shook his head, and walked over to another man in black that was not too far from the landing point.
"The rest is up to you."
"That fast? Shouldn't you eliminate half of them, and let the other half suffer a bit? Otherwise they won't learn their lesson."
"This problem is a bit complicated, they seemed to became a little rebellious. In short, my task is over, as for disciplining them, it's you job now."
Then, this man in black shook his head and left, and the other one that was taking his place was a bit chubby and taller, with a black veil covering his face as well.
He walked to the landing spot, his eyes coldly swept over those being trialed and said in a deep voice, "All of you shut up! You came here to get trialed, not for vacation!"
"Now there are more difficult tests waiting for you guys! Ahead of you guys, there's a basin, and you guys will live in that basin for the next month! Whoever can come out of it alive, only they will be qualified to move on to the next stage!"
"Now everyone get the f*ck in!"
This man in black spoke very rudely, and then he forced thousands of people into the so-called basin like animals.
The basin was surrounded by cliffs, and the middle was a desert. The burning sun was hanging in the air, hurting people's eyes. The temperature was incredibly high, an egg would be fully cooked if it was placed on a rock.
Soon after the sunset, the temperature inside the basin was well below freezing point. Although everyone were espers and didn't really care about the change in temperature, but such a huge contrast in temperature still made people uncomfortable.
Sssss~
With the starlight appearing, a creepy sound started appearing around the basin.
Han pulled Jian Jia a little and said, "Careful, something's coming out."
Then, he let out Silver Fox, Ghost Claw, and Demon Claw.
Jian Jia was a strange person, he turned a blind eye on the loveliest Silver Fox, but rather paid attention to the silly Demon Claw, staring with big and round eyes, and even reached out to pat its head.
"You like this silly thing?" Han asked in curiosity.
Jian Jia replied, "Yep, my mom said, animals and people that are too smart are unreliable. Although Demon Claw looks silly, but it's loyal and reliable."
Then he pointed at Silver Fox and said, "Look at this little thing, look at those little eyes rolling, you know it's very smart."
Han replied, "Although he's really smart, but he's also very loyal."
Jian Jia shook his head, "I don't care, I just like people and animals that look a little silly."
"Scorpions!" Suddenly, someone shouted hysterically, "These scorpions are poisonous!"

Chapter 239: Flood, Poison, Nuke
In the night, a large number of brown scorpions started charging out from around the basin and began attacking the crowd.
The soldiers originally weren't afraid of them, but they soon found out that these brown scorpions were not easy opponents at all. They could spray out venom from their tails.
Shua~
Streams of transparent liquid took advantage of the dark night, shooting into the crowd. The soldiers immediately began dodging, but when many people began panicking, someone would inevitably get shot, with green smoke rising from the battle suit.
If the battle suit's level was high enough, it could defend against the venom attack. If the quality of the combat uniform was worse, then the venom would contaminate the skin and penetrate the body, corroding the soldiers' internal organs.
This kind of venom was very powerful, even if it's a warlord level elite that was immune to poisons, they would still lose a portion of their strength after being invaded by the poison.
The soldiers started using all kinds of weapons in panic, fighting back in all sorts of abilities.
Right away in the dark sky, fire balls, water balls, ice balls, lava balls began flying all over the place, and the beast tamers began summoning genetic beasts to fight against the scorpions.
Everyone at the scene were almost all soldiers, and the reason was very simple. Violating rules, never learning, these were all mistakes fighters often make. If it was an electric engineer or a black smith, then they wouldn't piss off the gods to the point of getting trialed.
The side that was being judged was still more powerful, so after the initial panicking, the venomous scorpions were gradually kept under control, and the experienced soldiers began seeking cooperation with people around them, trying to avoid even worse situations.
But nights were long, the scorpions were countless, it was a headache to think that they will be trapped here with these poisonous creatures for this many weeks.
"What do we do this time?!" Bo Ya rushed to Han, and judging by the look of it, he plans to go big with Han. Bo Ya also motivated another batch of people, and they all rolled up their sleeves and were ready to go.
Han frowned, "This situation is pretty terrible, we have to stay in this hellish place for thirty days to be attacked by these poisonous scorpions. People would probably be able to do it for the first few days, but it will get more dangerous as time progresses."
"From what I know, scorpions, insects, they should all have a king. We should just go out and kill this scorpion king, and that way we should probably pass this trial."
"But we can't leave this basin, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules and we will get kicked out of the Path of All Gods." A fighter that came with Bo Ya said.
"Who said we are leaving? We just have to dig deeper in this basin, until we dig up this damn scorpion king."
"According to the attacks today, these poisonous scorpions should be nocturnal. We will just endure through tonight, and start digging down tomorrow morning, drilling in whenever we see a cave. We have thousands of fighters, there's no way we can't find the king."
After the plan was set, Bo Ya left with his people and started defending around the basin.
Jian Jia blinked his eyes, "Didn't know that you were so charismatic. This blue blood guy Bo Ya already became your man and listen to you on everything."
Han pouted and said, "What blue blood, he's just too hot-blooded. I never intended to get any attention, he's doing all this on his own."
The night passed in silence.
The next morning after the count, there were only about 20 people that died, and hundreds of people affected by varying degrees of injuries. There were two pharmacists in the crowd that were treating them right now.
This kind of result also proved Jian Jia's words, the judgement trial wasn't about how many people to kill, but to torture, torturing these undisciplined people like Han to the point that they won't dare to break the rules again, that was the Gods' true intention.
The hot-blooded Bo Ya led a crowd of fighters with similar characters and found Han.
"Han, let's do this sh*t! Motherf*cker! The Gods are too unfair to treat us this way!" Bo Ya said while swinging his fist.
Han thought to himself, the Gods even said this is a judgement trial, how else do you guys expect them to treat you…
But that was just a quick thought. Han didn't want to stay in this place for too long himself, accepting these Gods' trials.
So Han took a look at these people, about a few hundreds of them in number. The rest of the population all gave Han and these hot-blooded people cold eyes. They were afraid that if they do anything else out of line, they would really piss off the gods. Now they were already getting trialed, they couldn't afford to take the risk again. Otherwise, if they get kicked out, then they wouldn't be able to have the chance to obtain ultimate power or understand the truth about the universe.
Speaking from this point, the Path of All Gods' strategy was working. Han noticed, these thousands of people being trialed were indeed more humble and low-key than before, also a lot sadder. And then of course, there were simple hot-blooded people in the team like Bo Ya.
Thinking for a second, Han said, "These venomous scorpions didn't just appear out of thin air. We need to first find the scorpions' nest. Which one of you guys are earth descent espers? Please help open up these soils, the metal descent espers help separate the metals from the soil, and other people without any useful powers in this case just use your hands! Bomb with weapons. We will turn this basin upside down. I want to see where these scorpions came out from and how many scorpion holes there are."
"Alright!"
"Got it!"
"Motherf*cker!"
Rumble~
Rumble~
This group of passionate young men immediately went out to cause destruction after hearing Han's words.
It didn't take long until the basin got ruined.
"There were actually this many tunnels?!" Bo Ya looked at the mass amount of scorpion caves in the basin and said, "Let's charge in, catch the scorpion king and kill it."
Han nodded, and then immediately shook his head, "The scorpion king must be killed, but not now. After all, these scorpions can shoot poison, the moment we enter such narrow holes, it will be extremely difficult for us to dodge so we will very easily be shot by the poisonous scorpions."
"Then what do we do?" Bo Ya said a little anxiously.
"It's not difficult, which one of you guys is water descent?"
"I am!"
"I am!"
"I am as well!"
Water was considered a more common super power, suddenly dozens of soldiers stood out, and among them actually included Jian Jia.
"Uh, have you guys played the game of flooding ant caves when you were small?"
"Uh, I've actually done this kind of horrible things before, but we are up against scorpions right now, I'm afraid that just flooding the tunnels won't be enough. Besides, there are only a few of us, we won't be able to flood caves this deep even if we use all of our power." A water descent warrior said.
Han waved his hand and said, "Who said we are only using water? I remember that you are also a pharmacist. Do you know how to use poison?"
Han asked that pharmacist with a goatee. Although he was just a technical skilled worker, he' wa also full of hot-blood so he joined in with Bo Ya and the others.
"No problem! You just wait and see." The goatee pharmacist patted himself on the chest and promised.
Han nodded, took out a clean water collector from Lunar Mark. This gadget could collect the water molecules in the water, bringing it will ensure that one will never be short on water after taking it with them. Those efficient high power water purifiers can even spew out water like a fire hydrant.
Han pointed at the clean water collector and said, "We will primarily use this thing, and then cooperate with the water descent brothers to flood the tunnels with water."
"After you have the water purifiers in place, come to us two for poison. Then we will unleash the water while adding in the poison."
"Good idea!" Bo Ya's eyes brightened up as he said.
Han waved his hand, "Let me finish. It's not enough to just flood it with poisonous water. Whoever is fire descent can also burn the caves a bit before the water goes down, and those with bombs can just chuck bombs down the cave, anyways just do whatever you can to kill the scorpions and we should be fine. We will strive to force the scorpion king to come out, got it? If there's not enough water collectors, then go borrow it from other people. In short, we must have enough water, and we need enough poison."
"Now if you have any poisonous stuff in your hands just bring it out, we need them to make more poisonous potions."
After hearing that, hundreds of hotblooded young men began taking out extremely poisonous stuff from their dimension ring. With the "can't go wrong with too much" idea, they did indeed bring a lot of stuff.
"What kind of poison do we make?" The goateed pharmacist asked Han.
Han shrugged his shoulder and said, "How do I know? Just make whatever you want, as poisonous as possible, as long as it's water soluble."
"Got it, you wait and see."
The division of tasks immediately began, hundreds of people placed the water collectors to the scorpion holes. They just had to turn on the purifying function. The primary mission right now was to collect water and that's all.
There were a few hundred-people joining Han's operation, and there were a few thousand-people watching on the side. Although they didn't join in, but they were all glad to contribute their poison and water collectors.
No one was happy to be sent here and get judged, and although they didn't have the guts to fight back openly, they were still very grumpy.
There were also people that studied mechanics that helped adjusting the water collectors to increase efficiency.
*Sound of water gushing out~
Thousands of taps were unscrewed, desperately unleashing water into the scorpion nest.
And on the other side, Han and the goatee pharmacist were busy making poison.
Many people were waiting to receive the poison to dump directly into the nest, so the most important thing was quantity, not quality.
Those two just messed around and got some poison made, and gave them to the soldiers.
Now, after hundreds and thousands of different kinds of poisons were mixed together and thrown into the water, it probably became the most violent compound poison in the world.
If someone became poisoned, not even Han knew how to cure it because he didn't know what kind of sh*t was formed after combining all those poisons together.
Anyways, Han estimated that after this operation, this basin would probably become a desolate barren for the next thousands of years.
The smell was really pungent. Everyone turned on the air-purifier system in their battle suit.
Rumble~
Suddenly, a loud noise came from underground. It was truly loud, even people that were just sitting on the ground were sent flying for a short period of time. The southeast corner of the basin collapsed.
"What happened?!" Han stood up and asked.
"Oh, didn't you say to throw bombs into the caves? There's a pretty deep cave over there, so I had someone throw a nuke down." Bo Ya said in all seriousness.

Chapter 240: Death of the Scorpion King
Nuke?!
Han suddenly looked up at the guy, then hastily looked at the radiation monitoring system that was installed in the battle suit. Sure enough, the radiation meter was skyrocketing. Fortunately, the combat suits had strong radiation resistance, and the espers' own body's vitality was far better than ordinary humans, so this amount of radiation was no problem.
But still, Bo Ya's casual act of throwing down a nuclear bomb still made Han frown.
"What deep hole? That you needed a nuclear bomb?" Han asked in curiosity.
"It's right there, follow me."
So Bo Ya took Han to the place he threw the nuke, where there was already a large group of soldiers surrounding and looking.
"After the explosion, the damn hole is even deeper now!" A fighter reported to Bo Ya and Han.
"Have you measured the depth yet with the laser distance measurer?" Bo Ya asked.
"Yep. Before the explosion, it was close to 150 kilometers deep, and now it's over 400 kilometers."
Han was shocked, a hole that's over 400 kilometers deep? That was a really deep hole.
Very soon, Han saw the whole picture of the deep hole, located at the edge of the basin, most of the hole already collapsed, in the round shape of a silo, bottomless, and the diameter of the opening is over 5 kilometers.
Bo Ya gestured and said, "This is the strange deep hole. Before using the nuke, the opening was only a few hundred meters wide, but you see now, the entire deep hole is completely exposed in front of us.
Han nodded.
"Eye of Darkness!"
Shua~
Han's right eye immediately turned black, and when he looked down, he almost shocked himself.
Under Han's dark vision, any form of energy was exposed, but Han had never seen such a turbulent flow of energy, as if there was an energy river flowing underground at least 10 kilometers in length.
"What a strange place." Han mumbled.
"What do we do now?" Bo Ya asked.
"Continue bombing! Who still has small nuclear bomb? Adjust it to contact explosion mode and throw it down!' Han said in a deep voice.
Shua~
Shua~
Shua~
Right after he said it, a few impatient guys already started chucking down the nukes in their hands.
Han became dumbfounded, he only said to throw down some small-sized nuclear bombs and didn't even get a chance to say how many, but as a result these guys threw a whole pile of nuclear bombs down there!
"Oh f*ck! Run!"
Han shouted, and everyone began leaving the edge of the basin and moved towards the central gathering area.
"Prepare for nuclear explosion!" Bo Ya shouted to those fighters that didn't join this operation.
"Again?! One explosion or two?" Someone asked.
"Don't know, I didn't get a clear look too, they just threw down a pile of small nuclear bombs." Bo Ya scratched his head and said.
Everybody all became dumbfounded!
Threw down a pile of nukes?
What the f*ck is this?
What if someone gets killed?
More importantly, why the f*ck do you guys just casually carry a bunch of nukes around on you?!
But now it's too late to say anything now. Thousands of the people that were getting judged, including those that personally threw down the nukes were all very nervous, because they also knew that their hands slipped and they threw a bit too much.
Rumble~
Rumble~
Rumble~
After awhile, a series of nuclear explosions began, the hole on the right side of the basin turned into a volcano, and the nuclear bomb explosions produced flames like a giant red dragon soaring to the sky, causing almost half of the basin to collapse.
As for the trembling of the earth, Han estimated that it was probably an extreme earthquake. There were rocks flying all over the place, people too, even the end of the world was probably something like this.
Luckily the level of these fighters getting trialed were generally pretty high. There were also quite a few warlord elites. Beginner level quasi-warlords like Han could only be ranked as below average.
Of course, Han's combat strength is never measured by his level, because it has far exceeded his level.
After the explosions finished, people carefully got up. Everyone's face was pale. After all, it's not just one nuclear explosion, but a series.
Just when the soldiers had not yet stood firm, the atmosphere suddenly change.
From the ground came a tearing roar, loud, full of anger and murderous intentions.
As if the series of nuclear explosions, woke up something sleeping underground.
Immediately after, the ground began shaking, different from before caused by the nuke, this time it was like a giant excavator quickly rushing out from the center of the earth.
Rumble~
Finally, the thing that issued the giant noise appeared. It was a scorpion, a giant red scorpion that was 10 kilometers in length!
Han just realized, the underground river he saw with his dark vision was actually a giant scorpion hidden underground.
From the flow of energy in his body, this big guy must be really high in level.
At this moment, the King Scorpion's back had very tragic wounds caused by nuclear bombs. Many small young poisonous scorpions were currently climbing out from his back. These were its kids, they didn't have much combat strength and were still immature. The moment they left the King Scorpion, they soon died. Presumably one of the reasons why the King Scorpion was extremely angry.
The King Scorpion used its two giant claws and killed a few nearby soldiers.
The tip of its tail could also shoot out large amounts of toxic venom.
"Kill it!"
"Kill it!"
"Kill it!"
The trialed soldiers all shouted crazily. They were not scared by the King Scorpion's terror and evil. These experienced soldiers already saw that the King Scorpion had reached the end of its life.
It was seriously injured, and had also been severely poisoned by the concoction flooding the caves. It knew that it was going to die soon, that's why it came out of the surface desperately in order to kill a few human beings before it died for vengeance.
And these soldiers being trialed weren't afraid of the King Scorpion because they knew, as long as they kill this big guy, this brutal judgement will have no choice but to end.
Compared to the 30 f*cking nights of suffering, the soldiers rather preferred a more direct path.
Thousands of soldiers surrounded this giant scorpion, greeting it with all kinds of super powers and weapons. Not after a few minutes, this giant scorpion began to be unable to support itself and collapsed to the ground.
Every round of the judgement race had a judge that came from the Dark Net. They wore a full black uniform with their faces covered.
At the second night, that judge appeared on the high hill around the basin, and he almost died angrily from what he saw.
He saw that all these participants had already killed the King Scorpion, and there was even some guy digging the organs out of the King Scorpion.
That was Han, he knew how rare this strange creature was, and how it could be premium material for making fusion beasts later on. Right now, he was trying to harvest an eye of the scorpion with the Demon Claw, Ghost Claw, and Silver Fox helping him on the side.
Bo Ya was also helping Han, because after all it's Han's idea to kill the King Scorpion, so no one fought him over things and just let him choose the things he wanted.
Jian Jia looked on the side, he felt that Han's really silly, seeing a dead scorpion actually excites him more than seeing the prettiest woman.
"What the f*ck did you guys do?!" This slightly chubby dark net judge shouted from outside the basin. His voice was really grievous.
Han looked up and then ignored him, dragging out that big eye ball, and moved on to harvesting the teeth inside the scorpion's mouth. This was a mutant beast and was thus very different from normal scorpions.
As for the most precious part, the King Scorpion's tail needle, it has long been in Han's bag.
That dark net judge saw that he got ignored and became even more angry, trembling and shouting, "You are prisoners being judged, and you actually dare to violate the rules of the trial court?!"
"I see, you are all hopeless!"
"Just wait and see!"
After the judge said a few words of threat, he turned around and left, muttering to himself, "I will give you guys the most brutal trial for sure! For sure!"

Chapter 241: Wrath of the Judges
In an unknown location in the universe, in a brightly lit conference room, seven people that were responsible for the judgement race were gathered together discussing the recent incidents that took place during the trial process.
This time they didn't continue using veils to cover their face, being able to clearly see the faces of these judges. They were all human, or at least humanoid intelligent life.
A slightly fat judge spoke loudly, "Nonsense, complete nonsense! Just two trials so far, and these people already made such a big mess. If this continues they will for sure turn the whole sky around!"
"I've worked this long in the judgement group, and I have never seen such bastards!"
"Since they already violated the rules of Path of All Gods and are receiving trials, can't they just obediently follow the rules and finish the judgement? How can they still not correct their old habits and continue to make mess! Such people should just be executed!"
Another judge with very bright eyes said, "They definitely can't be executed, because although we named this a judgement trial, it's actually more like an admonition. Our purpose is not to kill them, but to dispel their rebellious spirit through torture and suffering, breaking them into complying with the rules."
Other judges also said, "The people that just entered Path of All Gods, it's inevitable that some of them are arrogant and high spirited, so we just need to grind them down a bit. I think that there are some good talents among this batch of participants. We really don't have to directly execute them all."
The head of the judges was an old man with sparse hair and superb eyes. He thought for a second and said, "Don't say anymore, let's look at the battlefield summary and then make a decision."
Then a video began playing. First at that emerald lake where Han fought back and killed the executioners, then to the basin where a group of men used nukes and poison to first force the Scorpion King out and then killed it.
The head of the judges frowned, pointed at the Han that was currently trying to harvest the Scorpion King's teeth and asked, "Who is this?"
The slightly fat judge quickly pointed at Han's face and said, "He's the worst one! Named Han Lang! These were all his ideas! Other instigators include Bo Ya, Jian Jia, they are all bad people! These 3 are the source of most of the trouble and chaos!"
"What's his background? How did he provoke chaos?" The head of judges asked.
"Han's background is actually nothing big. He came from a small place and is registered as beast tamer, but he's actually a fighter with the Dark Void special power. Beside his power being relatively rare, he's nothing too great. As for Jian Jia and Bo Ya, those two actually have pretty good background, both of them have ancestors that previously passed the test of the Path of All Gods. Don't know how these two noble family children actually started hanging out together with Han."
The judges all agree, Han and the other two people did really misbehave, but as to strictly punishing them or to go lenient on them, people held different ideas.
In short, those that were against punishing them thought that although Han and his group didn't have a good style, they still followed the rules. As for there are loopholes in the rules, that's the fault of rules. They shouldn't punish Han and his group because they took advantage of the loophole, and use means of punishment that shouldn't be used.
Those that wanted to punish Han thought that even if there were loopholes in rules, the real good people wouldn't exploit them too. Han exploited loopholes the moment he saw one, meaning their conscience was bad, and that's why they need to be severely punished.
There were seven people in the judgement group, and now the situation was 3 to 3. Everyone was waiting for the head of the committee to speak, since he will directly decide Han and his group's next step, whether it was to follow the original plan, or directly give them a big punishment that exceeds their tolerance range.
The sparse hair head of committee habitually scratched his head, and then said in a deep voice, "The initial intent of the design of Path of All Gods, is to give everyone in the universe a chance to become a member of the League of Gods, because the Gods are the protectors of this universe."
"I definitely don't want to see a group of non-compliant guys ultimately walking out of the Path of All Gods and getting their position in the universe. Knowing the uplink effect, if the leader was someone that defied rules, then he will also bring his followers to an evil path."
"I agree with using the most brutal means to punish these people, and giving them a lesson they will never forget. When you guys were arguing, I carefully looked at the profile of this incident's starter Han."
"This young man, is clearly a troublemaker, bringing trouble everywhere he went. When he was at the Milky Way Galaxy, he broke the law time after time. After stepping into Path of All Gods, he then broke our rules over and over."
"A soldier, and his training from the start was only in forbidden techniques?! Hum! Such a bad man, we just shouldn't let him continue going down the Path of All Gods! Judging this kind of trouble-making outlaws is our responsibility!"
"Now I decide, activate the highest level #5075 border battlefield within my authority! Whoever wants to return to Path of All Gods will have to walk off from that battlefield!"
After hearing the head's words, everyone was shocked, even those three that wanted Han to get punished felt that #5075 was a bit too much of a punishment. That was the highest-level punishment within the judges' authority, and up until now, no people that were being judged had been sent there before.
But since the head of the committee had spoken, no one else could say anything anymore.
"This time they are going to be miserable, it will be considered lucky if 10 people can walk out of #5075 battlefield alive."
"Ten? Are you joking? I bet five."
"I will be a bit conservative and bet 3, what do you think?"
The atmosphere became a bit gloomy, and that judge that had always been talking on Han's side looked up into the stars, and said faintly, "I bet no one, because #5075 to them, is too difficult."
After two consecutive judgements, the survivor count went from the originally close 6 thousand to about 5500.
This situation was really too rare. Only less than 500 people dead after two trials, and it took less than 4 days. According to past data, every judgement trial, the unlucky outlaws would be screwed for three to four months, or maybe even to half a year if the judges were in a bad mood.
The judgement says that it will have 5 trials, passing 2 in four days without much casualty, the soldiers being trialed were all very excited, feeling that this time they will have a very high chance to go going home quickly.
They waited for about half a day in the basin, and then the judgement committee all arrived. Needless to say, they've all come using particle modules.
The deep layer of the dark net was really a strange world. Rather then saying that it was like the internet, it was more accurate to say that it was like a world tree that surpassed time and dimension and had countless branches and leaves.
Up until now, Han was just jumping back and forth between a few leaves of this tree, and he completely couldn't see the whole face of it nor understand its deep and complex roots.
With a gloomy face, the head of the judgement committee, that sparse old man spoke.
"I have good news and bad news to tell you. The good news is, the judgement trial will end in seven days. If you guys are still alive by then, you can go home or go back to the Path of All Gods."
"As for the bad news, we've shortened the usual judgement from 5 trials to 3 trials, but the last trial you guys will be facing is very risky and difficult."
"Now, please take out your particle modules. The transportation system of the deep layer dark net has been set up, you will be sent to a battlefield that temporarily opened up. I wish you all good luck."
The soldiers being judged were all very excited, just one more trial and we get to go home? There's such thing as good luck in this world?
But there were also people that were worried, such as Han. He had a vigilant attitude towards all the unusual things, and he never felt that he would be a lucky person.
Jian Jia frowned, it was not his first time being judged. Based on his past experiences, suddenly shortening the trial from 5 to 3 was unprecedented, so Jian Jia felt that there was something wrong too.
No matter what, they had no choice.
Han silently took out his particle module and laid in there without a word.

Chapter 242: Border Battlefield
Shua~
The dark net teleportation system waited until everyone was ready, and then sent the over 5000 soldiers to the #5075 Border Battlefield.
When seeing the title of the trial, Han didn't know what to think at all. Border Battlefield? The dark net had borders?
When they arrived and Han walked out of the particle module, he realized how terrifying this border battlefield place was.
All the soldiers arrived at some barren hills, which were divided into two by a giant energy wall. On one side stood Han and the other 5000 or so soldiers that were sent here for breaking the rules, and the other side was covered by a black mass of insects.
Yes, insects.
As a beast tamer, Han was familiar with all kinds of insects, but he has never seen insects this terrifying on the other side of the energy wall.
In short, this type of insect looked very similar to the Ghost Claw, walking upright on two legs, with their front claws waving threateningly as they roared at Han and the others.
"What kind of hell is this?!" Bo Ya began swearing again.
Han obviously didn't know what this place was as well. He looked at Jian Jia, and saw that his face was completely pale, so he placed his hand on Jian Jia's shoulder. But when Jian Jia noticed Han's hand, he jumped away like a frightened cat.
"What are you scared of, I won't eat you." Han frowned, "Jian Jia, do you know what this place is?"
Jian Jia hesitated and bit his lips as if he wanted to say something but immediately closed his mouth.
Han noticed that Jian Jia's lips were very thin, like a woman's. At the moment, they were becoming a bit blue.
"Crap, wouldn't these bugs drill their way over to this side of the energy wall?!" A soldier pointed at the distance and said.
It was a very frightening scene in the distance, the transparent energy wall was blocking hundreds and thousands of millions of upright walking insects.
But this kind of blockage was not absolute. The bugs were desperately trying to squeeze towards the other side of the wall, pushing and shoving. One had pushed its arm through the energy wall, then after all the pushing and shoving, it actually managed to get the rest of its body across as well.
At the direction of the energy wall, more and more bugs started coming in, slowly forming a small army.
Han then looked behind himself, and saw that there was another energy wall behind him, going all the way up into the sky, its height and length unknown. Then behind that, there were more energy walls.
Han and the others were thrown in between the two walls, but very unluckily, they were between the walls closest to the enemy.
Now, Han and the others couldn't back off but only move towards the left or right, but both directions have bugs constantly squeezing in.
The bugs saw Han and the others and they immediately went mad, trying to squeeze into the middle ground of the two walls where Han and the others were at.
Rumble~
Suddenly, a fireball was shot from the insect army that had already gotten over the wall. It drew an arc in the air, and landed not far from Han.
"Super powers! F*ck, these bugs actually have super power!" Someone shouted.
Everyone was shocked, what kind of enemies were these things! A mass of upright walking bugs with weapons and also super powers?
Then what was the difference between them and espers? Maybe those creaky calls they make was their language?
The soldiers were shocked speechless. Originally, they had somewhat looked down on the insects, because although they were great in quantity, they were just bugs.
But now, the soldiers realized that these bugs actually had super powers, they might also have their own language and strategy.
If they were really facing an esper level army with over millions of members, not to mention the temporarily gathered soldiers right now, even if it was a regular army of 5500 that had years of training together, there's still no chance of survival! The difference in quantity was too big!
"Eye of Darkness!"
Han activated his right eye and looked into the distance.
He saw that those mad bugs were currently hastily withdrawing, making way, and there was a giant figure running towards this direction from a further location
"There's no time now, you guys listen!" Han suddenly shouted, "This is an emergency! Right now, I have a tactic, you guys must learn it right away and master it as soon as possible!"
"Later on, I will activate my power. My power can nullify all power within a 10 kilometer radius, both the enemies and ours!"
"When I activate the domain, super powers will lose its effect, but when I close my domain, you guys have to use all your power to attack at once."
Han had always been low-key, but when he found the situation to be urgent and that he will soon fall into a tough battle, he didn't hesitate to take over control and began arranging his strategoes. His voice was calm yet passionate, just like all of the best commanders.
The soldiers carefully listened. Right now, Han had some status in this group of soldiers. During the first round, Han jumped out to kill the executioners, causing everyone to quickly pass the trial. During the second round, it was also under Han's command that they get to kill the Scorpion King and pass the trial.
The credits all went to Han, and that's why the intuitions of these soldiers told them, Han might look young, but he can be trusted.
When Han finished giving a brief idea of his tactic, everyone felt that this tactic was really too incredible.
"Taking advantage of your void domain, fighting within the time difference, erasing the enemy's super powers, but allowing our firepower to be more concentrated, this is a really good tactic!"
"I agree. This is the type of brutal tactic used to break through the might army and go straight for the enemy's commander! It's most suitable for this battle!"
"Then let's do it!"
Many people present were experienced fighters. After hearing Han's Wolf Fang tactic, they appraised this tactic and admired Han from the bottom of their hearts.
Rumble~
A huge noise came from the distant, and they saw a very big black beetle sprinting towards and then smashing against the energy wall.
So that was the insects motive. The reason they dodged left and right was just to make way for this ferocious big bug.
After the first big insect smashed against the energy wall, the wall began trembling.
And that's not it. Behind the big black beetle, there were more big insects of over a thousand meters in height. They were all running one after another towards the energy wall.
Rumble~
Rumble~
Rumble~
The energy walls shook due to the consecutive impacts. These damn bugs, their stupid tactic was actually very effective, the energy wall looked like it couldn't support itself anymore!
"Let's go, Wolf Fang!" Han shouted.
Whew~
Five thousand or so soldiers began following Han, sprinting towards this wall that almost collapsing.
"Void Domain, activate!"
Shua~
The magical void domain was summoned, with Han as the center. Within 10 kilometers radius, all powers went extinct in an endless darkness.
Strength descent and other more ferocious power espers were at the front, and the ranged and special power espers were behind.
Although it was a temporary combination, these soldiers were high leveled and experienced, making their first time performing the Wolf Fang tactic very stylish.
It's just that the direction of their sprint was a bit not clear for some people. Under Han's leadership, they began charging towards the energy wall that was about to collapse and right into the insect crowd.
Han had always liked unorthodox thinking. Although he did not serve the role of a commander before, he had a very good sense of battle.
He knew very well, the moment the insects broke the energy wall, they will surround the soldiers, and then there was another wall behind them. What is this called? This is despair!
But charging directly into the insect crowd, this seemingly crazy strategy actually helped Han gain more room to act due to the change in battle environment. This was danger and desperation!
If Han were to choose between despair and danger, he would choose the latter for sure, because he knew the law of high risk high reward.
Although the soldiers didn't understand what this temporary commander was thinking, all the human-like intelligent species were similar in that once they encountered real danger, they will actually unit.
Besides, this batch of soldiers' fighting capabilities were quite nice. They were well educated and trained. At the moment, they all suppressed the questions they had and tried their best to do their job.
Rumble~
Finally, the energy wall couldn't hold the big insects' consecutive desperate charges, and it became fragmented.
The temporary army formed by Han and 5000 people, and the insect army of millions of units, directly began their cruel close quaters battle!

Chapter 243: Completely Out of Control
(btw guys, the author didn't drop GDN. He just finished it with a sudden ending. Dw, I will consult the author when we get there and we will finish it with another ending. You won't be left hanging.)
"Wolf Fang, move!"
As Han shouted, he suddenly withdrew his Void Domain, and everyone's powers within the 10km radius were recovered. But only the soldiers knew it, the bugs were still confused about why they didn't have their powers anymore.
Rumble~
The soldiers' super power attacks poured down like a rain storm, and the duration wasn't long, just a few seconds and that was all.
But these soldiers were all not weaklings, with the lowest level ones already being at the five star. There were also a great number of warlord elites. When all of these people attacked at the same time, the damage was really terrifying.
What ice descent, fire descent, water descent, lava descent, light descent, fantasy descent, wood descent, earth descent, who cares, just shoot it all out as long as it can deal damage to the enemies.
Normally speaking, the warlords usually wouldn't team up to attack because of their level.
The logic was very simple, putting a pile of sharp blades together and using it to attack, its effect isn't necessarily the same as one plus one equals to two. The elites usually all had their unique styles. Who will accommodate who, who will work with who, these were all difficult questions to answer.
But with Han here, all the problems were naturally solved. They didn't have to worry about what kind of elites they were, Han will just take all of their power. Everyone will look the same, just with differences in source energy.
But when Han takes away with Void Domain, rather than saying attacking at once, in fact, it's just do whatever the f*ck you want, the rhythm of chaotic blows can kill pros. Whose power is stronger, who's weaker, it all doesn't matter. In Han's Wolf Fang tactic, this chaotic effect was exactly what was wanted.
When Han's attacking side appeared to be extremely chaotic, the enemies' defense will become even more chaotic.
Without exaggeration, Han on his own controlled a chaotic legion of soldiers with uneven levels and powers, and completely grabbed the rhythm into his own hands.
Rumble~
The 5000 people took advantage of the opportunity when the enemies couldn't fire, and struck at the same time. The result was terrifying.
The sky crackled with thunder and lightning, while stones, blades, giant beasts rampaged about. The enemies were immediately terrified. Don't know where, there will also be small knives coming out, and immediately piercing through the enemies' chest.
Within a few seconds, the enemies in front of Han were put down like a machine harvesting wheat.
After all, this was a chaotic attack created by 5000 espers, the scene was just too magnificent. All kinds of abilities, seen or unseen before, all played its explosive effect in the same second.
The effect was just like buying 5000 different kinds of fireworks, and then releasing them together, directly bombing these bugs into pieces.
Shua~
Quietly, Han opened his Void Domain again.
The soldiers' attacks immediately disappeared, but at the same time, the counter attack that the bugs were preparing and channeling all disappeared as well!
How come you guys can do whatever the f*ck you want with your power, but when we want to use our abilities, only sh*t comes out?
Why?
This was a question many people asked Han before.
There's no why. That's just how unreasonable Han's power is.
Don't think about how awesome your power is, the moment you get close to Han, he can just directly take away everything. You can only use it when he lets you!
Without a question, the Wolf Fang tactic was a tactic that makes teammates feel awesome but enemies feel like sh*t.
Seeing the bugs getting killed, the way people look at Han was clearly different.
If before, what Han demonstrated was someone that had some whimsical ideas and used forbidden techniques, then now, what Han was demonstrating was true strength! The strength of a natural born commander!
No commander could be like Han, controlling a temporarily put together legion and completely grasping the rhythm of attack.
The effect of the Wolf Fang tactic was amazing.
This temporarily put together legion achieved a stomping result!
After switching the void domain on and off a few times, Han and his legion was like an unstoppable tank, rolling over the body of countless bugs.
Behind them, corpses were everywhere!
The reason was that Han could not only control the enemies, but he could also control his own team!
This was a very important point, and it was also what gave countless commanders the most headaches. Basically, when commanding a higher-ability legion, the moment the attacks start, it was very difficult even for the commander to control the attacks' rhythm and direction. After all, it's a formation of many espers, every one shoots out an ability, the battlefield immediately becomes chaotic, and then what the f*ck can he control!
But Han not only could control his legion, he could achieve a very high precision of control.
It's easy when everyone uses their power at the same time, but it's difficult to stop all attacks, and it's definitely impossible using commands. But, only Han could use his power to forcefully stop all attacks!
The black bugs were just like the waves when the ocean was angry, they came wave after wave towards the next energy wall.
Han and his legion was just like the assault boat that insisted on going to the top against the current to ride the wave!
His direction was not to retreat, but to go head on!
Any experienced sailors knew this, when the tsunami hits, one must not run while being chased by the tsunami, and the only choice was to sail against the waves and break it!
Somewhere in the Universe, the judgement committee was currently in front of a screen and they were dumbfounded looking at everything that was happening.
"Insect Tsunami, sh*t, it's actually Insect Tsunami!" When those big bugs began clashing into the energy wall, someone inside the judgement committee yelled in surprise.
"Hurry and summon Han and the others back! Really didn't expect, the Insect Tsunami that doesn't happen in a thousand years is actually encountered by them."
"Those damn bugs, they are getting smarter and smarter. There was no abnormal signs on the battlefield and suddenly the King Kong Bug just rushed out, destroyed the energy defense wall. The Border Legion will really beat their ass this time!" The sparse head of the committee hastily ordered.
But just when he was giving out the order, Han led this legion made of people being trialed by the All God Corporation, and charged towards the bugs.
"What are they trying to do?"
"Could it be that they want to fight?"
"Chief, the dark net summoning system is busy, unable to immediately summon them back!"
"Then order them to come back using their own particle modules!" The chief ordered.
"Impossible, the Insect Tsunami is currently destroying the energy wall, the communication system is also being interfered with. Our orders cannot be send!"
Now, shit, all the people of the judge committee became dumbfounded.
According to their original plan, they were just sending Han and the others to the border battlefield to be punished, not for them to defend against the Insect Tsunami!
What was an Insect Tsunami?
It's an attack long been planned by the bugs, great in quantity, completely uncalculatable, just like you will never know how many water molecules are in the ocean.
Just when the judgement committee were anxious, Han didn't know what's going on and he still thought that the Insect Tsunami was a test for him, so he led the temporarily formed Legion and charged up.
Rumble~
The first energy wall fell, Han's temporary army suddenly clashed into the Insect Tsunami, just like a sharp edge, lonely yet hard-edged, directly charging into the center direction of the Insect Tsunami.
"Those bastards at the Path of All Gods are too brutal, they actually gave us such a difficult challenge." When the battle just began, Han thought angrily.
He didn't know at all, this was a sudden event that not the judgement committee could predict, and the situation was already completely out of control.

Chapter 244: Border Legion
"They actually charged in? And also killed that many bugs!"
"What! How is this possible?!"
"They are completely stomping the Insect Tsunami!"
"What is that strong ability?"
"That's Han's Void End. He used the tactic based around the Void Domain. And I must say that this tactic is pretty effective."
"Effective, what the f*ck are you talking about! This temporary team of novices, they are stomping the Insect Tsunami okay? You call this kind of heavenly power just effective?"
Without much time, the judgement committee was shocked again and again by the power of the Wolf Fang strategy. Even the people that disliked Han in the beginning couldn't help but admit, he really did use his power to the extreme.
Seeing Han rolling forward, any number of insects that came in their way were immediately torn apart. The people at the committee became very blood-boiled!
"What's going on? Why isn't the Border Legion still moving?!"
"This time the insects were very cunning. They jammed our long distance transmission signal. There's already one legion that has entered the battlefield, but due to the signal interference, they were placed at a direction far away from the Insect Tsunami. The technical legion is performing emergency debugging."
"Damn it! Damn it! The insects are about to break past the second energy wall!"
The judges became nervous again. Although they weren't responsible for the work at the border, that doesn't mean they didn't care about the security at the border areas.
If the border legions couldn't enter the battlefield until very late, then the border region will become really dangerous.
There were five energy protection walls, and now that the first one was already down, if the bugs just rode the momentum and continued their assault and destroyed all five walls, then the dark net system in the universe will be at risk.
Still remembering back then, the god race even invested all the power of its race, trying to take over the dark net. Now, it looks like there are many forces that wanted to deal with the dark net and make it their own, and these bugs were just one of them.
Rumble~
Just when everyone was feeling anxious and wished that they could go on the battlefield to help, the second energy wall was broken too.
At the same time, this temporary legion of Han's already escaped the most dangerous area.
The Insect Tsunami was, like its name, a tsunami. Everyone knows, the places that were close to the shore were under the most risk of the waves, and when one was in the middle of the ocean, he will be surrounded by the ocean but the waves are also a lot weaker.
And this was the situation Han and the others were facing right now. Large numbers of insects were swarming towards the energy wall, and after seeing Han's group, they would naturally get angry and attack them. However, that's not their primary direction of attack. After noticing that Han's group was really a bone that's hard to chew, the bugs naturally wouldn't waste too much more time with Han. Most bugs would go around this army and go attack the energy wall.
As the fighting progressed, the temporary legion's coordination also became better and better.
The soldiers stronger in melee combat were at the peripheries, ranged and supporting units were the middle, forming a circle, following Han as they moved, and listening to Han's call to use their powers.
Rumble~
The second energy wall also came crashing down. Han frowned, feeling that there was something not right. The judges told him that this was a test, but Han felt that this was more like siege warfare.
Those energy walls were like walls to a castle, the insects' primary attack target. As for the legion formed by Han himself and other random people, they were more like the unluckiest bastards that were set to someone else's battlefield.
"This feels awesome! Kill! Han let's continue killing these bugs!" Bo Ya excitedly shouted to Han.
"Wait! Something's not right!" Han very seriously shouted. When in combat, Han never joked, nor did he like having someone else tell him what to do with his tactics.
Shua~
Right after Han finished, a white light flashed across the sky, and at the direction which the insect Tsunami was attacking, appeared an legion, one that was in golden armor like an army from heaven.
Somewhere in the universe, inside the judge committee's office.
"What the f*ck happened?! Only one legion was teleported over?!" The head shouted.
"The second attempt went wrong! The technician legion adjusted the coordinates, but the transmission variable was wrong, causing only one of the 200 legions to arrive onto the battlefield!" Someone read the data and said.
Bang!
This old leader smashed the table, with a dark face, he said in a painful voice, "Letting only one legion go protect that long line of defense, isn't it the same is sending them to death?!"
The office was in complete silence. In the dark net system, there was not only one judgement committee responsible for the punishing procedures. Now, every office and every conference room were all paying close attention to the situation at the border.
"Technician Legion decided to restart the transmission system, replacing the code system to completely resolve the interference situation!"
The head judge anxiously asked, "How long will it take?"
"30 minutes!"
Then, everyone became completely silent. Without a question, the border legion won't make it through that long.
Just during this dead silence.
Rumble~
The third energy protection wall also went down.
Border Battlefield.
Not only did Han notice this army that fell from the sky, everyone beside him also noticed.
At first, they thought it was just another group of people being judged like them, but they realized that they were wrong very soon, because the first thing this new army did after landing was to disperse and establish a defensive perimeter.
This was very puzzling. The reason why Han's no-name army regiment could stomp those insects, other than Han's special ability, was more important was everyone grouping together, back-to-back, and then they achieved crazy combat effectiveness when coupled with Han's power.
But this strange army was still dispersing nonstop, going from a 10,000 standard legion, scattered to ten combat battalions each with 1000 people, then dispersing again into 100 combat companies, each with 10 soldiers.
These golden armor soldiers were very powerful, their individual combat capabilities were much higher than Han's no-name army. But that's not important, because this legion was still dispersing, still trying to expand their defensive area.
When this legion finally divided into 1000 combat teams, Han finally realized, the reason they kept on dividing up, was to protect the energy wall behind them!
The Insect Tsunami's attacking area was too large, the front line was too long, and if one wanted to protect such a long defense line with this many people, spreading out was the only way.
At first, the combat teams could look after the backs of each other that were side by side , but very soon, the disadvantage of spreading out was completely exposed.
After all, this was the Insect Tsunami, and Han didn't even know which mathematical unit he could use to describe the quantity of enemies. Millions, hundreds of millions, billions?
Anyway, the insects were like the ocean, they crazily attacked the energy wall and massacred those in golden armor.
Han felt that his heartbeat was accelerating.
Although facing the unstoppable Insect Tsunami, these soldiers actually didn't back off one step!
Han used his dark vision, saw the blood on those soldiers and how they desperately fought as if it was their destiny to die protecting the energy wall behind them.
This scene couldn't help but remind Han Earth. When faced with an invasion, how the insignificant soldiers on Earth used their life to protect their home. The names of those soldiers were something Han would never dare to forget.
Both were guardians! Those Earth soldiers guarding their home, respectable!
These soldiers guarding the energy walls, they were respectable too!
Rumble~
The fourth energy wall was also broken, those soldiers in golden armor, began using the most heroic yet tragic method to protect the last energy wall behind them. Those soldiers with serious injuries, they ignited their life, charged into the Insect Tsunami, and detonated themselves!
Alike.
Very alike.
These soldiers are almost identical to those dear comrades Han has on Earth, they were all using their life to guard something very important to them.
Han was completely shocked by what he's seeing. Inside his no-name army, most people have been shocked by this brutal war as well.
Suddenly, Han gritted his teeth, waved his arm. That's the signal commanding the no-name army to charge back.
"I don't know them, but today I really want to lend them a hand! Those that aren't scared of death follow me!" Han shouted.

Chapter 245: Battlefield Metronome
As the saying goes, empathy is the heart of Buddha. (TL: I don't know where the fk this saying came from but ok)
Han was a soldier himself, so when the Border Legion placed their lives on the line to fulfill their duty, it made his heart move as if he saw himself years ago, fighting side by side with his brothers.
Although Han didn't know who the border legion soldiers were nor where they came from, he still decided to help these people. Any brave soldiers should not be sacrificed in vain.
The temporarily formed no-name army, under Han's command, charged back in, as if it was like a sharp edge, going into the most intense battlefront.
Not really everyone in the no-name army agreed with Han's decision. After all, they finally got out and left the most dangerous areas, but now Han was taking them all back in, no different from just jumping into a fire pit.
But the smart soldiers still wouldn't leave Han's army even if they didn't agree. After all this team, could avoid the insects' ability attacks, and they would probably die faster if they leave.
Of course, the majority of the soldiers still agreed, because warm blood also ran in their bodies. After seeing how the Border Legion fought so selflessly, as a person, they at least had sympathy and respect.
"Wolf Fang, go!"
Han's tactic doesn't have the problem of possibly being countered after repeatedly using it.
So what if the bugs saw what this tactic was? Even so, they still can't find a way to diffuse it.
The path Han selected was very dangerous, and that was right front of the border legion where most of the enemies lied. He decided to strike into the most ferocious area, like a crab slaughtering horizontally into the battle.
That way, Han basically attracted the majority of the fire from the battle, winning the border legion valuable breathing room.
And because Han charged horizontally, such a strike basically temporarily freed up the entire defense line!
Of course, the cost was also huge. Due to tactical advantage, the no-name army so far didn't have too many casualties. But after this horizontal charge, the casualty count reached 500 people! It was clear how enormous the pressure on the battlefield is.
"Brothers, dare to go back one more time for a massacre?!" Han shouted.
"What's there to not dare, f*ck those bugs!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The no-name army's soldiers already had blood-shot eyes from killing, and they had already forgot why they were on the battlefield in the first place.
This kind of situation was very common in large scale battles. After seeing too much corpses and blood, the soldiers became blood-boiled, forgetting everything and only remembering to kill. Desperately kill, kill at all costs!
In the blink of an eye, the no-name army charged back again!
It was still the peerless Wolf Fang tactic, a stomp and massacre with no counter.
Han and the others didn't really know, they were actually being watched by many pairs of eyes right now through the magical dark net.
If it wasn't for Han's no-name army, the border army will not only perish, even the last defense line will fall.
And what did Han and the others really do? They were a bunch of people that were disdained by the All Gods Corporation and thrown to get judged!
Who would've imagined, until the end, the fate of the defense line was actually dependent on a bunch of soldiers they were trialing!
As for the soldiers of the Border Legion, they were probably the most emotional ones right now. Many times, in battles like this, heaven and hell were both one step away. If Han's no-name army didn't appear, the Border Legion was already a spent force. Even though they had the resolve to sacrifice themselves, their morale had been low to the extreme.
Han's no-name army rampaged side to side like a crab, and that lit the fighting spirit of the Border Legion and allowed them to see hope again!
The power of the Wolf Fang tactic was completely revealed, and that gave Han enough spotlight.
Many experienced soldiers already noticed, Han was a natural-born commander, a rare battlefield metronome.
Especially the latter title, battlefield metronome. That was definitely a very high evaluation, even more than the natural-born commander title.
Han's no-name army charged directly into the enemy's most powerful formation, arriving wherever they were needed!
This end of the defense line was under pressure and was about to collapse? Han would lead his team and arrive right away! Stepping on the body of the enemies!
That end of the defense line was about to fall, Han would bring his army and arrive again, then destroying the enemy's forces in the most brutal and violent way!
Generally speaking, even idiots knew, one must avoid getting into a tight encirclement because it was too dangerous.
But Han's logic completely went the other way. If he doesn't charge into a tight encirclement, then the Wolf Fang Tactic wouldn't be as effective and would lose the glory it deserved.
This is why it can also be called the Beheading Tactic, which was forcefully breaking sieges, finding the enemy leader, then killing it!
Han even felt, this temporarily formed no-name army, when in combat, was even stronger than the Earth Talent Legion he carefully formed years ago, that trained for a long time.
After all, although the no-name army had a very complex composition, but there were indeed many elites inside. What kind of people were most likely going to disobey the rules on Path of All Gods? Of course, its those people that take advantage of their powerful strength. Although these people that were being judged weren't some obedient nice guys, they were indeed a blend of elites, and many of their powers were seen for the first time by Han.
Commanding such a powerful army, complemented with the fact that Han's a genius commander and a battlefield metronome, that's why they demonstrated surprising combat effectiveness.
The second time they came back horizontally along the defense line, this no-name army finally couldn't support itself anymore, and lost over 1000 people.
The Wolf Fang that was originally formed with 5000 people, now was crippled, leaving only 3800 people left. Faced with the powerful Insect Tsunami and the increasing casualty count, this army's combat strength began dropping exponentially.
Not every commander could withstand this pressure, but Han's different. Right after he made his debut, he demonstrated the tough bone side of him. Then again under the lead of the three addicts, he went on a pretty deviant path.
Han was very tough to his bones, knowing only to attack, not retreat!
"Brothers! Let's go again!" Han raised his Star-Strangling Boa and shouted.
The no-name army only had 3800 people left, and the fewer in number, the more people get killed. If they charged again, the casualty was probably going to be tripled. It will be good enough if a few hundred-people survived.
Charge again?
Then those that were just completely trusting Han, now were a bit hesitant.
Finally, the first soldier left Han's formation. And when there's a first, there will be a second, and a third.
So when Han decided to charged back into the Insect Tsunami for the third time, there were less than 2000 people by his side, and the other soldiers all didn't want to fight with Han anymore in order to survive.
But the disadvantage in numbers could not stop Han's determination. He still charged back in like a sharp edge.
It's just that this sharp edge already had a few cracks, and was no longer as bright. The soldiers beside him began dying at a rapid rate, resulting from a disadvantageous number and physical exhaustion.
When Han and the others charged to the center of the defense line, there were about one thousand people left in the no-name army, and it was still losing numbers rapidly.
This result cannot be said to be the weakness of strategy, just like a hound, no matter how sharp its teeth were, it still couldn't take down a dinosaur.
After all, Han and the others were just a bunch of soldiers that haven't gotten the Star Lord title, and they were not even official members of the All Gods Corporation. They've already done more than anyone expected.
"F*ck, I'm afraid that my journey will end here today!" The blue blood man said. His shoulder was slashed by an insect, and it was bleeding nonstop.
Han didn't say anything. He's very clear, this no-name army is already a spent force as well, and it will have no way to continue supporting itself.

Chapter 246: Difficult Victory
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Just when everyone was feeling despair, the atmosphere suddenly changed!
Rays after rays of light beams shot down from the sky like a torrential rain along with fierce shouting. It seems that the Border Legion's reinforcements were finally here, the number exceeding 200 legions! The soldiers were all in golden armor, as if they were celestial soldiers coming down from the heavens.
Rumble~
The insects cleverly retreated, and then the Border Legions began killing the insects that were slower.
Maybe because the bugs knew the power of these armies, when they ran past Han and the others, not to mention attacking, they just ran without even looking at them.
Whew~
Han let out a long breath and sat down on the ground with everyone. The large-scale massacre was very energy consuming, and now they were all very tired.
The battlefield that was very bustling, suddenly quieted down. The Border Legions were now chasing the insects further and further, and near the last energy wall, Han's nameless army and the disabled Border Legion were not too far apart, both resting.
A middle-aged man with short hair covered in blood threw away his helmet, and walked directly towards Han. He then reached out a hand in excitement, "I'm Wood, the captain of the 27th Regiment of the Border Legion."
"Han Lang." Han stood up and whispered.
The two sat back down. Towards Han and his nameless army's performance, Wood couldn't stop praising them, and he was also very grateful. After hearing that they were people getting judged, Wood suddenly got really angry, saying that he will go question the judgement committee once he gets back.
Han laughed, "It's alright, I think they are just executing their orders. By the way, what is really the border? And what's with these bugs?"
"Uh…" Wood hesitated and showed a difficult expression.
Han saw Wood's expression and understood immediately. This was the dark net's secret. The dark net and the All God Corporation always had many secrets.
At this moment, a light beam descended at a place not far away from Han and Wood. From the beam a white haired old man walked out of the white beam. With a black face, full of wrinkles.
Seeing this old man, Wood immediately stood up and saluted, calling him General Kabri.
General Kabri patted Wood on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Well done, you worked hard."
Wood immediately looked towards Han and said, "General! If it wasn't for Han and these people getting judged, I'm afraid that we wouldn't have completed our mission. To say credit, it is mainly their credit. I was just fulfilling my duty."
General Kabri nodded, looked at Han, and with eyes filled with traces of gratefulness, he said in a deep voice, "You are called Han?"
Han nodded.
The old general sighed, "Very rare, genius commander, rare Dark Void power, and also can serve as the battlefield metronome. Your future is limitless."
"Unfortunately, you are not a member of the All God Corporation right now, even if I want to reward you, I can't give you any promise. How about this, you take this. From now on if you run into any trouble, activate it, and I will immediately come to see you."
Han took over a golden thing as if a token and badge. On top of it was carved Kabri's name, and behind it carved a tripod furnace.
Patting Wood's shoulder, Kabri said in a deep voice, "What you did, I remembered. The Border Legion is proud for having loyal soldiers like you!"
After complimenting Wood a few words, Kabri took that light and left the battlefield. Before leaving, he even waved at the injured soldiers under Wood's command. Those soldiers that were about to die, actually burst into tears. Their faces were covered in admiration, as if they really looked up to this black faced old man named Kabri, even worth dying if they could be recognized by him.
"Is this thing really powerful?" After Kabri left, Han took the golden token and quietly asked Wood.
Wood saw Han tossing the golden token around, his face became a little pale and he said in a deep voice, "Just take good care of it, and remember to not take it out and show others. In fact, at your current level, when will you ever need to use the Military God token, just bring up my name if you run into anything."
"Military God token?" Wood inattentively leaked some information, and Han frowned and asked.
Wood had no choice but to swallow a spittle and whisper secretly to Han a few words, "All Gods Corporation, Military God Kabri."
Han suddenly hesitated, so this black face old man was one of the All Gods.
But Han didn't react more after the initial surprise. Ever since he was led onto a relatively deviant path by the Three Addicts, his logic became a little different. Besides, he just mastered his Path of God, not the path to become god but to kill, so towards those that call themselves Gods, no matter how strong they were, Han was not really too interested.
Wood was a very loyal and righteous person, seen from how he led his Legion and fought until the last moment during the war.
Han saved Wood's life, and more important, he helped Wood complete his mission, and that was a big favor.
So Wood does have the intention to repay Han the favor, but because Han doesn't have any official identity on the dark net, there's nothing he can do but keep on reminding him, just bring out his name if Han runs into anything in the future.
As for the Military God Token, unless running into something really significant, otherwise it's better to not let anyone know about having it.
Han liked making friends with people that got straight to the point, so he had a very engaging conversation with Wood. But unfortunately, Wood has to bring his injured brothers back to recover, so they reluctantly bid farewell.
The message sent from the Judgement Committee notified Han and the others, the judgement ends here, all survivors will gain the qualification to proceed directly to the destination station.
Han also bid farewell to Bo Ya and Jian Jia. During the battle, they followed him from the beginning to end, can be considered to be good brothers that went to war together with.
Especially Jian Jia, Han noticed, this skinny guy with very white skin is actually a complex esper, having both water and ice two powers at the same time.
This situation really makes Han envy. Doesn't matter how powerful his Void End is, but in the end it's just nullifying other people's power. Han really wishes that he could have a second power, preferably like Ke Lake's, capable of flying at high speeds, how awesome would that be.
Unfortunately, after all, this was just wishful thinking. Complex espers like Jian Jia were the rarest among rare existences.
"Well, we will see each other again after we all get the Star Lord title!" Bo Ya hugged farewell with Han, looking like they are really close.
And then when it's Jian Jia's turn, Han opened his arms and was about to give him a big hug too.
"What are you doing!" Jian Jia's attitude suddenly became ferocious, stamping his foot, turning around and running away.
"Well, this kid has two powers, he's also probably from a very good background, has the temper of a young master." Bo Ya tried to explain for Jian Jia.
After his battle, feelings appeared between these soldiers of the nameless army.
But what should end will ultimately end, everyone's not from the same sector so they all need to go back to their own home.
After the farewell with everyone, Han returned to the transition station, and he saw that 9527 was appearing very unusual, actually already waiting for him.
"Kabri gave the Military God Token to you?" 9527 swallowed a spittle and asked carefully.
Shua~
Han tossed the token to 9527, and this fat old man took it and held it greedily.
"Grandpa?"
"Grandpa?"
Yuan Yuan was calling him, 9527 just hastily waved his hand, telling Yuan Yuan to not bother him and he just kept holding onto the Military God Token, checking it out non-stop.
This situation made Han feel really puzzled. If it was Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox, 9527 usually loves these two little guys and almost can't get enough of these two.
But at this moment, the 9527 after seeing the Military God Token almost forgot their existences.

Chapter 247: Energy Coating
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Han was very surprised at how focused 9527 was towards the Military God Badge, so he asked in curiosity, "What does this thing really do?"
9527 clearly went through a complex psychological struggle. He lightly sighed, returned it back to Han, then said in a deep voice, "With this, Military God Kabri will unconditionally help you once. Even the Military God sees you as someone important, you tell me if it's awesome or not."
Han shrugged his shoulders, "It's of course a good thing that someone can help. The dark net and All Gods Corporation is way too miraculous. I have been really confused, just what kind of existence is it exactly?"
9527 slightly smiled and said, "It's normal that you are confused. In simple terms, the dark net is divided into multiple layers. The first layer is dubbed the Virtual layer, and that's the first level of dark net you came into contact before. Didn't you do some small business on the first level dark net and meet some people?"
"But those were all the functions offered at the first level of dark net, a hidden web over the internet. About only one of a hundred million people in the universe can be exposed to it."
"Now you are at the second layer of the dark network, where there's no virtual reality anymore and everything's real. The virtual pods used in the first layer of the dark net, are now particle modules here, which you can take to travel to every real dimension in the dark net, and trade, study, train, and etc."
"What about the third layer of the dark net?" Han hurriedly asked.
"The third layer?" 9527 shrugged and said, "How would I know? Besides, right now you haven't even officially joined the second layer yet, isn't it a bit too early to dream about the third layer?"
"We will talk again after you get the Star Lord title. By then, you will be able to freely navigate in the dark net and trade. All in all, the dark net gathers all the most talented and powerful individuals in the universe, and the higher the level, the stronger the people gathered at that level and the more abundant the resources available for that level."
"Anyways, now you got the qualification to enter the Destination Station, it's basically a small world there. Why not go there but come to my place?"
Han replied as if it's natural, "Of course I will go there, but now it's training time."
9527 frowned, "You just got off the border battlefield, no need to rest? You want to train again?"
Han nodded, "It's because I just got off the battlefield, I must enter training immediately. I noticed some deficiencies during the battle so I want to improve it as soon as possible. With these things in my mind, I won't even be able to have a good sleep."
9527 couldn't help but marvel at Han's character. At this moment, the vast majority probably already went back to eat and sleep, but Han didn't mind the fatigue from battle and wants to immediately correct the flaws he noticed in battle.
Such spirit might be the main driving force that supported Han to today.
Three days later, Han finally walked out of the training room.
Perhaps it's in recognition of Han's performance on the border battlefield, Han surprisingly found that there was one million extra points in his account.
After 3 consecutive days of mad training, Han only spent 70,000 points. Plus, the remaining from before, Han now had as many as 983 thousand points.
He found 9527, smiled and said, "I thought about it, and I feel that it's time for me to change my battle suit, give me some advice please."
The combat suit currently in use by Han was called Oval Matrix, and it was a quasi-warlord level battle suit, equipped with a very special low friction defense ability.
Under normal conditions, it was right that a quasi-warlord level soldiers should use a battle suit at their level.
But that's not what Han thought. He believes that, if one wants to do something, he must sharpen his tools. Now that Han's primary weapon is already the magical triple-edged Star-Strangling Boa, he hopes that he could also have a set of battle suit that's high enough in level. After all, the battle suit is responsible for defense, it's used to protect life so it's very important.
9527 thought for a second, then laughed, "I actually think, you don't really need to change battle suit. Do you know, what's the best kind of equipment in the world?"
Han replied, "High level ones?"
9527 shook his head and said, "Wrong. Equipment is different from technology. If you want the blueprint of a transition jump engine, then you certainly should select the highest level one, but as for your personal equipment, I suggest you go to Destination Station and find an armorer to tailor-make one, let them specifically make one based on your characteristics, forging a set that most suits you. As for the public version equipment, here at my place, I think you should pass, anyway I didn't think any set of combat suit here is particularly suitable for you.
Han felt that 9527's words make some sense, so he started carefully considering it.
Han actually does know a few friends that are armorers and blacksmiths, and they are all on the Path of All Gods. But with their level, Han's afraid that they may still be a little lacking to tailor-make equipment for him. Maybe he will need to need to go to the destination station to ask for more powerful black smiths to help.
9527 took Han to a room that exchanges equipment, pointed at a belt composed of metal rings and said, "We will pass on the combat suit, but this thing will be pretty useful for you. This is called Energy Coating, which in simple terms, is the individual version of Energy Shield."
"This is the same principle behind the energy shield used by battleships, but it will create a personal protection field based on your body size. The energy shield has flexibility, and plus your Oval Matrix combat suit, you basically have double defense."
"But Energy Coating isn't expensive, only 40,000 points."
Han nodded, listened to 9527's advice.
Tying the belt around his waist, the energy coating automatically adjusted to just the right size.
If someday Han ate too many meat buns and gets a bulging stomach, the energy coating will automatically adjust to the size so it's very user-friendly.
By the way, Han finally got rid of the painful life of eating energy sticks and bars. The military base cafeteria on Earth especially made a large amount of meat buns and vacuum packed them. They can be stored up to 30 years without going bad, and they were all stored in Han's Lunar Mark, just needing to be warmed up when Han wants to eat.
In addition, there's also jars of chocolate powder, and with a clean water collector collecting and boiling water, Han could get a fragrant hot chocolate drink whenever he wants.
With meat buns and hot chocolate, Han felt that life was really satisfying.
Han took off the Energy Coating belt and carefully studied it, and he noticed that this belt was really not simple. Micro-controllable nuclear fusion device, energy generating device, energy control unit, intelligent distribution chip, flexible metal. Such a small belt, it was completely a high tech product.
"What's the defense effect on this thing?" Han asked in curiosity.
"Five stars." 9527 answered.
Han suddenly hesitated, such a small belt actually had a rating of five stars for its defense level? This was too miraculous!
With the same level of defense, the Oval Matrix still felt a little tight, and this Energy Coating feels like air, with no hindrance and no weight!
"Oh my god, that means, battle suits under five star level, people don't actually have to buy it, you can just give everyone an energy coating belt each?" Han's eyes became wide open and he asked, "Does this thing have a blueprint? How many points do I need for the exchange?"
9527 laughed and said, "You are smart enough. In fact, Energy Coating is developed to replace the traditional battle suit. Although this one is a beginner level product, but for your army, it is a treasure. Does your Earth Army currently have armorers?"
Han shook his head, "No, our equipment is all outsourced expensively."
9527 continued, "I thought so too, but with the blueprint for Energy Coating, you can mass produce this kind of formless battle suit, cutting out the need to hire or cultivate a forging division."
Han said proudly, "You only guessed right half of it. Besides Earth Army, I still have a Robot Legion which can use this too! Preparing battle suit for the robots of complex structure is something I didn't dare to even dream of before!"
"Hurry and tell me, the blueprint for Energy Coating, how many points does it cost?"

Destination Station
9527 gave Han a number. Good things were all not cheap, the price of the Energy Coating blueprint was 20 million points, probably one of the more expensive equipment type blueprints.
Han helplessly shrugged his shoulder, it's still a long way before he can afford this level of blueprint, and it looks like he still has to work harder to get more points.
9527 tried to comfort Han, "You don't have to be discouraged. In any profession, it's always the hardest to make money during the initial stage. Right now, you are at best regarded as a disciple of the dark net, and when your level becomes an official dark net member and can accept some missions, you will be earning points a lot faster than now."
"How can I not be anxious? Doesn't matter how strong the dark net is, it won't care about what's happening in the reality universe. The Milky Way will officially face powerful enemy invasions in 3 years, and judging by the strength comparison right now, we have no hope of winning."
9527 didn't say anything but continued to encourage Han to go further on the Path of All Gods. When Sansheng brought Han and the others to the second layer of dark net, he also said the same thing. Those humans that had been dwelling in the dark net for a long time all hoped to be able to find a solution here.
But now in Han's eyes, no matter how strong he is in the dark net, it's still being strong as an individual.
Even if one day, Sansheng can reach an unprecedented height and become a peerless master, even then, when faced with the god race's giant fleet, Sansheng probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
Now things have gotten to this step, Han has no choice but to proceed step by step, and see how things progress.
Han bid farewell with 9527, then got into the particle module and headed towards the Terminal (Destination) Station for the first time.
Since Han has never been here, he didn't know what to expect, so when he got out of the particle module and stood up, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of his eyes.
Path of All Gods, 9 deaths 1 survive.
One must pass all 9 communication stations in order to enter the Terminal Station.
It's way too different from the ghetto communication stations, the Terminal Station was a giant city built in the middle of a sea!
The circular city's diameter extended over 10,000 kilometers, countless roads, rivers, neatly separated the city into different sectors. Countless people lived here, and the businesses were highly prosperous.
And what does the communication station looks like? That's just a piece of desolate place with a black stone, and people on the Path of All Gods would accept missions from the stone.
Han walked around in the Terminal Station in surprise. He noticed, the biggest feature of this mega city was that there are a lot of elderly and aliens, even blue-blooded people like Boya, Han saw several in a row, it's just that they are some old people taking a slow leisure walk in the city.
"Han Lang! Han Lang!"
Han just left the landing area and heard someone using a loud voice to call his name. After a closer look, it's actually Hei Xiaolin.
Hei Xiaolin was the Black Iron Tower from before. Before stepping into Path of All Gods, he and Lance were all following Han, and they became pretty close. Han didn't know that he already passed all the tests and arrived at the Terminal Station too.
It's obviously a big black muscular man, but his name is Xiao Lin (TL: direct translation – Little Forest), so Han always thought that his name was pretty strange.
Hei Xiaolin grabbed Han's hand and began chatting right away. They found a coffee shop on the roadside run by an old couple. They all looked very kind, but the calluses on their hand and the protrusion on the temple that's caused by perennial training proved that they were both very good soldiers when they were young.
"What is really the situation here?" Han asked in curiosity
Hei Xiaolin arrived a few days earlier than Han so he got more information. He explained, "The area that we and the god race resides in is called a small sector, but the Terminal Station is normal sector sized, so after soldiers from many small sectors pass the 9 stations, they all have to gather at this Terminal Station. That's why there are a lot of people here."
"Because one needs to get the Star Lord title in order to leave here, and the majority of people cannot get the title in their entire life, that's why they have no choice but to dwell here for the long term. That's also why you can see so many old people here."
"You know too, the higher the level of espers, the longer they can live. For quasi-warlords like us, if there's no accident, living a few thousand years is no problem. Warlord espers are even stronger, I heard that they can live eternally. More and more people stayed here, and people don't die, so the Terminal Station's scale became bigger and bigger."
Han nodded, there were many people every year entering the Terminal Station waiting to get the Star Lord's little, and that way they can start the second part of the Path of All Gods journey.
But many people come in every year, but only a few can leave, and that caused the scale of the city to get bigger and bigger, ultimately becoming such a big world now.
Han asked Hei Xiaolin, "Besides you, who else is at the Terminal Station?"
Hei Xiaolin began counting his fingers, "Many. Lance came earlier than me, and that little chick that had a crush on you, Hua Manxue, she was one of the people that helped Sansheng test us, she came here even later than me."
"How about Sansheng?"
Hei Xiaolin shook his head and said, "He's not here, I think he probably already made it to the third layer of dark net, it's really not simple."
"Not simple?" Han asked in curiosity, "What do you mean by not simple?"
"This damn Path of All Gods is completely unreasonable! I thought it's the same here at the Terminal Station as before, you just need to complete the mission, and you can get the Star Lord's title and enter the third level of dark net."
"Then guess what?"
"What?" Han frowned as he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Hei Xiaolin slammed the desk, "It turns out that there's no rule at all as to how to get the Star Lord title and enter the third layer!"
"No rule?" Han wondered, "It can't be? Just a few days ago I was sent to a trial for breaking the dark net's rules, and now there's no rules here? Do they have personality disorders or something?"
"I know right!" Hei Xiaolin and Han began complaining together.
At this moment, the elder that runs this coffee shop came over to send the coffee and snacks, heard Han and Hei Xiaolin both complaining, so he smiled and said, "Young man, there's something you don't understand. Having rules and no rules actually aren't mutually exclusive."
Hei Xiaolin just glanced at the old guy, but Han humbly invited him to sit down and asked, "Elder, we are young and don't understand. Can you can explain to us a little?"
The old man said peacefully, "In fact, this is how Path of All Gods works, there's no rules to promotion, but everything else has rules."
"Simply put, you came to the Terminal Station, you can't kill people here, that's a rule. But you want to acquire the Star Lord title from the Terminal Station, that has no rules. Do you understand?"
Hei Xiaolin desperately shook his head, Han's mind is a bit sharper, he suddenly hesitated and said, "You are saying, there are actually rules, but about how to reach Star Lord Level, it all depends on the Gods' mood?"
The elder waved his hand and said, "That's not it too. There is indeed no rules about how to get the title, but there are certain patterns. For instance, if you can do something to a high enough level, then it's possible for you to be promoted to Star Lord. What profession are you?"
"Beast Trainer." Han replied.
The elder said, "Beast trainer, if you can create the top tier genetic beast, or achieve some break through in some genetic beast technology, then it's possible for you to acquire the Star Lord Title. I'm old now, can't go onto the battlefield anymore, and now I just brew coffee. If I can brew the most fragrant coffee, I also have a chance to acquire the title."
"Also, in the mission hall, if you accidently receive a special mission from the lottery and complete it successfully, you will also have a chance to get the title."
"So, the promotion rule on Path of All Gods is not that the excellent candidates get promoted, but the best ones. As long as you perform your profession to the extreme, you will have the opportunity to see the legendary third level dark net."
"The dark net is indeed a magical place, even though I'm old like this, I still don't want to give up. Even by relying on the skill of brewing coffee, I still want to take a look at the deeper layer of dark net.
After hearing the words that came from the old man's heart, Han and Hei Xiaolin benefited a lot.
Han asked in curiosity, "Doing things to the extreme, does that work for everything?"
"Yes, everything. Even if you lack talent, didn't master martial art, but you are more brave than anyone, then you can possibly be promoted. Even if you use underhanded means in fights, if those means are astounding and peerless, you will also have the opportunity to continue your journey on Path of All Gods. Do you know what the city square at the centre of the Terminal Station is called?"
"Extremity Square?" Lin Xiaohei quickly answered.
"Yep!" The Old Man got up, carried his silver tea tray and began walking back to the counter, "The old saying goes, opposite effect may occur when things are carried to extremes, but here, extremity leads to success!"

Five Star Level Genetic Beast
Han and Hei Xiaolin paid their bill separately with their points, and then got up and went to the Terminal Station to find a place to live.
The Terminal Station was extremely big, but people couldn't just casually use their particle modules. There were dozens of landing zones outside of the city, but people could only use particle modules in those areas.
From the outskirts of the city's landing zone to the Extremity Square at the city center, the distance was over thousands of kilometers, it was way too far. Even with the most rapid rail transit, it will take about half an hour of time, and that excluded the time spent on other miscellaneous things like waiting for transit and stuff.
So, the people that came to the Terminal Station would all rent a room, and those that were lazy would just live in a hotel.
"Mother of god, now even I'm a bit dizzy. Life in the real world and the dark net is confusing me, it's really a pain in the ass to travel between two worlds." When taking the highspeed rail transit, Hei Xiaolin complained to Han.
Han nodded. He also had similar feelings. In the past, the real world was real world, and the dark net was the virtual world. But now, the real world was real, and the dark net world was also real. It was inevitable that people felt chaotic about this.
Han very easily rented a one bedroom small room in a traffic-convenient area. The cost wasn't much, about 600 points per month.
At this time, Hei Xiaolin also bid farewell with Han. He obtained an explorer mission at the mission center, and would need to depart in a few hours.
At the Terminal Station, everyone needed to find their way to get promoted to Star Lord, and the All Gods Corporation wouldn't give anyone hints. Hei Xiaolin felt that if he tried his hardest to complete every mission, he will eventually be promoted to the third layer of dark net
After Hei Xiaolin left, Han wandered around alone in the city. In the Terminal Station, people were using a transit tool called the Suspension Wheel. This thing was very small, just like a pair of magnetic skate boots. After wearing it, one will float about five centimeters above the ground, and rely on magnetic force to move back and forth. Its maximum speed could go up to 180 kilometers per hour.
The Suspension wheels was a short distance transport method but for longer distances, people relied on unmanned Land Speeders and also the underground high-speed railway.
Unmanned Land Speeders were also very interesting. Such suspension vehicle traveled nonstop on the street and stopped immediately when one waved. There were no drivers. The passengers just told the artificial intelligence system about the place they wanted to go, and it will activate, calculate the most efficient route and send the passenger to the destination in the shortest time and charge some points as compensation.
"Is this reality or virtual reality?" Han thought about this serious question as he walked.
Unknowingly Han came to the auction center that was located at the center of the city. It was a giant building that was shaped like flower pedals formed by many water drops.
Han thought for a second, and then walked towards the auction center. In any case, Han would still need points to buy the energy coating blueprint, so he was going to see if there was anything he could sell.
The auction center was very huge. Just counting entrances alone, there were 12. Han entered one of the entrances, with the help of the sign Han easily came to the room that accepted auction items.
It was a young girl that greeted Han. She wore a pony tail, and welcomed Han with a very professional smile.
"Hello sir, my name is Du Yunli, what can I help you with?" Miss Du asked with a smile.
Han was a bit surprised because he couldn't feel any energy fluctuations in her body. How did she come to the Terminal Station?
Du Yunli, as if knowing what Han was thinking about, explained, "My parents gave birth to me at the Terminal Station, but unfortunately, I don't have source energy nor have any skills. But, in accordance with the dark net's rule, since I was born in the Terminal Station, I'm one of the dark net's community."
"There are many people like me, and we all work for the dark net."
Han smiled a little embarrassingly and said, "Miss Du, I don't have any intention of discriminating you. It's just that I just arrived at the Terminal Station, and I noticed that even the old people here have surprising levels, so I thought the people that lived here in the Terminal Station were either fighters or other professionals."
Miss Du said, "It's alright, I've encountered this kind of situation many times now. Let me first tell you about the rules at the auction center. You can auction any item you think is valuable. The dark net corporation will take 10% of the revenue. As for whether your item will be auctioned at the important high-level auction or the general public auction, and how much the starting price is, these are up to us to decide."
Han heard the rules, and thought, the dark net auction was quite overbearing. In simple terms, their rule is, you just send over the things you want to auction, and everything else was up to them.
But there's no other way, there was only one auction center in the Terminal Station. Han pouted and let out the Fusion Beast #1 from his dimension storage.
When this dumb thing appeared, Du Yuli was shocked immediately, but calmed down quickly and started registering it on the system.
"You want to auction a genetic beast?"
"Yes." Han honestly replied, "If possible, I want to auction a few more because I really need points right now."
"No problem, we will do it one by one. The name of this genetic beast?"
"#1"
"#1 is just a number." Du Yunli asked in surprise, "I've worked here for four years now, your genetic beast looks very mighty, does it really have such a simple name"
Han frowned, "It's too troublesome to name it, just call him #1."
"Then what kind of level is #1 approximately at?"
"Not clear, but should be not bad."
"Not bad? Could it be that you have never used your genetic beast #1?"
"I did use it once, but not really useful." Han said.
As for the fusion genetic beasts' disloyalty, Han always remembered it. It was Han's most disliked character trait. Although now, the loyalty problem of fusion beasts had been solved through the puppet technique, Han still didn't like it.
Han liked those that were born loyal like the Demon Claw. As for those genetic beast puppets that were made loyal, it still made Han uneasy.
So although Han knew that his fusion beasts were powerful, he still had no emotions towards them. That's why when he realized that he needed money, he decided to sell them in exchange for points.
After Du Yunli registered #1, she let Han send #1 into a special room with many probes installed.
Du Yunli explained, "This is a machine we use to assess the level of the genetic beast. Our evaluation for genetic beasts is the same as for soldiers, also expressed in terms of stars."
Han nodded, didn't say anything and just gestured #1 to quietly lie in the room.
Shua~
The probes activated, and scanning rays undetectable by the naked eye were projected out from the surrounding probes onto the body of #1, thoroughly analyzing every cell.
It was just a few seconds and the assessment was completed. Some numbers and texts appeared on the screen.
As for #1's assessment, it was rated thus:
Combat Strength Overall Index, 730 thousand.
Compatibility Index, 95%.
Evaluation, Pinnacle Five Star.
Han didn't feel that it was a big deal, but Du Yunli said excitingly, "Pinnacle Five Star genetic beast? Is this your work?"
"I guess so." Han said a bit reluctantly. He really didn't want to admit that he created #1, because this fusion beast had to be forced to be loyal, and Han felt that it was an embarrassment to his skill.
Du Yunli looked at Han with admiration, "So skilled, at such a young age you are already a genetic beast master. Our evaluation for genetic beasts is the same as for espers."
"Your #1 genetic beast has pinnacle 5 star level, and that means, he can go head on against a pinnacle 5 star esper, so it's a very powerful genetic beast!"
"And what's more important is this #1's compatibility index, it actually reached 95%! This is almost perfect compatibility!"
"I can promise you, your #1 genetic beast will sell for a big price at our auction center!"

Chapter 250: Auction Center
"I can promise you, your #1 genetic beast will sell for a big price at our auction center!"
"Is it so?" Han just muttered to himself, not showing as much excitement as Du Yunli.
Du Yunli said, "Believe me, after all #1 is a 5 star level genetic beast, and its compatibility is close to perfect. Such a combination is really too rare."
Du Yunli repeatedly stressed the importance of compatibility. As a professional beast tamer and genetic expert, Han of course understand what compatibility is.
Just take Earth Claw for example. The powerful Earth Claw usually lived only one day and then died, due is its poor compatibility caused by a mismatch between the body and its giant claws.
In simple terms, the better the compatibility of a genetic beast, the stronger its combat power, the longer it lives, and the higher its intelligence.
Compatibility was a comprehensive index influenced by quality, life expectancy, flexibility, wisdom, and nerve response. A genetic beast with higher compatibility will fully surpass an opponent of lower compatibility.
Since compatibility is so important, compatibility improvement naturally became one of the research topics of all beast tamers. Since Han was using his genetic fusion technique, the compatibility index of his fusion beasts wasn't just high, but unprecedentedly high, and that's why Du Yunli was excited like a small sparrow, twittering and nagging non-stop.
After #1 was registered, it was taken away by the people of the auction center, and Han then took out #2 and #3.
#1 was the first fusion beast Han attempted to create with the genetic fusion technique. When making #2 and #3, Han's skills were more mature, so whether it was level or compatibility, they were all higher than #1. Especially #3, the comprehensive combat strength exceeded million, reaching the beginner 6-star level, and its compatibility index also broke through 96%!
And now Du Yunli became completely speechless, Han's strength undoubtedly proved that he was truly a beast taming master!
"He's still that young, his future is definitely immeasurable!" Du Yunli thought.
After dropping off the three fusion beasts, Han left. He didn't want to spend too much time here because Hei Xiaolin told Han many interesting things about Terminal Station, such as high reward missions, all sorts of contracts, and exhibitions of all kinds of treasures.
In short, when the best people in the universe gathered at one place, the Terminal Station became more lively. With the help of the dark net's advanced technology, Han was able to see many things he couldn't witness in his reality, and this was a great attraction for Han.
Just take blue blood Boya for example, Han already knew that their home was over 100 million light years away. This distance, even the fastest star ship had to travel over 500 years, so if it was the real world, the two would completely have no chance of meeting each other.
But in this magical dark net, the moment one of them obtained the star lord title, they could freely use the particle module and meet up in just five minutes. From this, one could see just how magical of a transformation the dark net could bring to the universe. Saying that the dark net was the number one miracle of the universe was not an overstatement.
"Yunli, Manager Katyn wants to see you."
"Oh, I will go right away."
Han just left the auction center and Du Yunli was called by the manager Katyn into his office.
Katyn and Du Yunli weren't the same. He was an official member of the dark net, had the star lord title, and was once a powerful soldier.
But soldiers could also get injured. Katyn had backed down from the All Gods Corporation's front line, working at a management position in the Terminal Station. Here, there were many retired soldiers like Katyn and other skilled professionals.
"This brat, he actually left just like that?" Katyn looked at the video of Du Yunli greeting Han and mumbled.
Du Yunli replied, "Ya, I also thought it was incredible! Such powerful genetic beasts, it was like he didn't care and left after dropping them off. He even urged me to register faster, as if he has something more important to do after."
"Something more important?" Katyn pouted and said, "After Han left, he took a turn and went to the museum."
Du Yunli's eyes opened up wide. She couldn't believe it! Going to the museum was even more important than arranging genetic beasts for auction? One must know, such high level genetic beast with close to perfect compatibility will for sure cause a great sensation in the Terminal Station!
Katyn turned off the screen. He thought for a bit, then said to Du Yunli, "Since Han was greeted by you, communication with him in the future will be left to you. I plan on adding genetic beast #1 into tonight's Elite Auction, under the temporary auction."
Du Yunli hesitated and said, "Elite Auction is the top tier auction that runs only once a month, is it a bit too much of a rush to add the item under such short notice? I'm afraid that we won't have enough to time to attract those that might be interested in #1."
Katyn waved his hand and said, "It's alright, if they don't show up in time, they definitely will next time. After the reputation of this Genetic Beast #1 goes out, then we will announce the even stronger #2 and #3, and then there will be a good show."
Du Yunli thought for a second and said, "Manager's plan is very nice, I will inform Han right away, telling him that his genetic beast #1 will be auctioned tonight."
Katyn said meaningfully, "Go, in addition to routine work, try to learn more about Han as well. I really want to know how his genetic beasts have such good compatibility rating. Such technology, I've never seen it when I was working at the All Gods Corporation. This will need some investigation."
*Sneeze.
When Han was checking out the various strange exhibitions at the museum, he suddenly sneezed. Could it be someone's talking about him?
If Han knew Katyn's evaluation of his genetic beasts, he would probably become more skeptical.
The reasons why he didn't care about these fusion beasts very much were simple. First it was because he didn't like genetic beasts that weren't loyal. Secondly it was because he thought that the technology he learned was already prevalent in this magical dark net, so he probably wouldn't stir up any storms.
After all, Han's Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts came from 9527, and 9527 worked for the dark net.
In other words, what Han learned was already owned by the dark net, so those star lord level beast tamers, or even higher level ones probably all mastered it already.
It's just that Han didn't know, the Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts that 9527 let Han learned, was a top tier genetic beast technology that not even the dark net owned. The genetic fusion beast was already being taken out for auction, and this was like casting a huge blockbuster in the beast tamer community. No one can expected the consequence.
"Yes, I'm Han."
"Tonight? That quick?"
"Oh, I won't be going to the scene, I made plans with a friend for dinner."
"Goodbye."
Han turned off the video call with Du Yunli, then put the auction business to the side. In his opinion, this wasn't something worth a fuss.
In the blink of an eye, night came. Han saw Lance who came to the Terminal Station one step ahead of him. He also brought a pretty girl, the Xiaoman girl that was responsible for examining Han with San Sheng.
"Han, I knew you could do it! We finally meet again." Xiaoman very generously reached out her hand to shake hands with Han.
The three gathered together and ordered fried chicken and beer, they ate and chatted. During this time, Xiaoman's eyes were always focused on Han, but Han was just interested in all kinds of news and rumors about the Terminal Station and inquired nonstop.
"How many of us made it to the terminal?" Han asked Xiaoman.
Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders and said, "There were already quite a few people made it. What's even more annoying is that we are elites that were raised by San Sheng since little, but up until now, the amount people that made it wasn't even higher than you guys. Now I'm even a little embarrassed about before for examining you guys…"
Han said as if it was not a big deal, "In the past we didn't really know anything about the second layer of the dark net, and as for the situation now, it's normal. Our batch of people are not only elites of the Milky Way, there are also many outlaws among us. We are more varied in our methods, and also more vicious. In comparison to you little flowers that grew up in a green house, we are at an advantage."
Xiaoman said, "Han, you will go to the mission center sooner or later, so I must remind you, at the Terminal Station, there are some missions that absolutely shouldn't be accepted.
"Why not?" Han puzzled.
At the same night when Han, Lance, and Xiaoman were happily chatting, Han completely forgot about the fact that his genetic beast #1 was being auctioned at the same time.
And it was also at this night that a fierce auction was taking place in full swing.
"10 million points! I go 10 million points!"
When this voice shouted out, the audiences were all shocked. A temporarily added item to the auction catalog with an one million points starting point, has actually grew tenfold in value within just a few minutes, reaching a staggering 10 million points!"
"10.5 million!"
"11 million! Genetic beast #1, I'm taking it!"

Chapter 251: Beast Speaker Hall
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
"14.5 million points! Deal!"
"Congratulations to Beast Speaker Hall's Overlord Ma for successfully taking genetic beast #1!"
The auctioneer hammer sounded, Han's genetic beast #1 was actually auctioned for 14.5 million points, which far exceeded Han's own expectation.
"14.5 million points?! Oh my god! This is way too incredible, I must notify him right away." Du Yunli who was hiding behind the curtains of this auction couldn't suppress her excitement, and used her wrist communication device to contact Han.
The wrist communication device belonged to the same category of instruments as the particle module. It was an essential piece of equipment for the deep level dark net, equipped with physical assessment and communication functions.
Han himself had made a small design change, and connected the wrist communication device and his automatic medicine dispenser into one, with the controller hidden under the medicine box.
When Han received Du Yunli's phone call, he was in the middle of eating fried chicken and drinking beer with Lance and Hua Manxue. Hearing it was Du Yunli's voice, Han suddenly hesitated. He didn't think someone would call him this late.
"Oh, the auction was a success?"
"So many points, it seems to be pretty good."
"Alright, I trust you. #2 and #3 will for sure be auctioned for a good price."
"No problem, next auction I will be present myself. Notify me by then."
"Bye."
Han turned off communication, and he just saw Hua Xueman's eyes hooked onto him.
Lance asked, "Han, the voice seems to belong to a girl."
Han nodded, "You are right."
Lance then started joking with Han, "Oh man! Just arriving at the Terminal Station, and you are already hooked up with someone?"
Han slightly frowned, "Why do you talk like a pervert? What do you mean hook up? Du Yunli's the auction house's staff, her and I only have business dealings."
Humph~
Hua Xueman was a little jealous, "Business dealings shouldn't take place this late right? No need to explain anymore, just tell us how much your genetic beast was sold for."
Han absentmindedly said, "14.5 million points."
Bang~
Right after he said it, the fried chicken in Lance's hand dropped inside his beer glass, and he was splashed by the beer.
"14.5 million?!" Lance took a deep breath and said, "What the f*ck did you make? How can it be sold for that much? I've fought my way until now, did everything I could even the things I hated doing the most, and I only have a few hundred thousand points saved up. One of your genetic beasts was traded for 14.5 million points? Holy f*ck! Comparison does lead to disappointment!"
Hua Manxue was also very surprised, and she looked at Han with her mouth wide open.
Han tapped the desk with his finger and said in a low voice, "To be honest I'm also as confused as you guys are. Logically speaking, my skills were learned from the dark net, it shouldn't be too valuable."
"No, you guys continue, I have to go see someone."
Without further explanation, Han bid farewell to Lance and Hua Manxue, taking the subway to the landing zone on the city outskirt, activated his particle module, and went to 9527's place.
This fat-like-a-ball 9527 glanced at the back image of Han on the screen, smiled, then walked out of the control room mumbling to himself, "Looks like Han already noticed, but that's fine. If I can't even deal with him, then all these years I lived are all wasted."
As he mumbled, 9527 walked out from the mezzanine level.
Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox naturally got really excited and intimate when they saw the fat old man, and Han asked in curiosity, "Old man, I have some question to ask you."
"Ask away."
"Just what is the background of Boundless Ten-thousand Beasts? Why is that I caused some chaos at the Star Lord Terminal Station with the genetic fusion beast I made with Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts?"
Who knew, 9527's first sentence already shoved Han's question back into his throat. He just asked, "You learned Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts? How many points did you exchange it for?"
Uh…
Han was suddenly speechless, Boundless Ten Thousand Beasts was part of 9527's collection, Han didn't have the opportunity to learn it through purchasing with points, but was rather under the situation of acquiescence from both side. 9527 allowed Han to secretly look at this secret scroll on genetic beasts.
Speaking from this point, Han indeed hadn't learned Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts before, and he must not admit that he had learned before.
9527 laughed and said, "You are a very smart young man, you know what to do and say, and what not to. Now I'm a bit tired, going to go take a nap, you take care of yourself."
Claiming to be tired right after meeting, this was obviously an excuse.
After 9527 left, Han went to that secret chamber of 9527 that stored his precious collection. The secret chamber was indeed not locked and Boundless Ten Thousand Beasts was also not tightly sealed by the energy shield.
Han thought for a bit, then sat down and started reading this secret scroll carefully. Although Han had read this book many times now, he didn't mind reading a bit more.
After a few hours, Han closed Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts, and he started checking out those energy shields that have yet to be activated. There were even more secret scrolls, maybe all of them were the same as the Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts, very rare existences in the world.
"This secret, I can't tell anyone even if I die." Han mumbled to himself.
Hearing that through the monitoring system, 9527 slightly smiled, and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
"I guess you are not as dumb as I thought." 9527 muttered.
Second Layer Dark Net, Star Lord level Terminal Station, also known as Star Lord City
This was the path that everyone must take if they wish to continue down the Path of All Gods, but unfortunately, it was not easy to pass through, and more people became trapped here in this Star Lord City.
There were rumors that people with ultimate skills had a higher chance of acquiring the Star Lord title, so numerous large and small research institutions and groups were born in this city.
The reason why there were so many groups was because people believed that the power of an individual is, after all, limited. If a large group of people gathered, and everyone studied and researched together, then it's easier for someone to reach the ultimate level.
Beast Speaker Hall was born in such a hope. With a long history, it has become one of the big four beast tamer groups in the Star Lord City that was researching genetic beasts.
Today, the Beast Speaker Hall was extraordinarily lively. Hundreds of trainers were gathered together. One old and one young beast tamer met up at the yard of Beast Speaker Hall, and the two began chatting right away.
"Yo, you came too?"
"Of course, how can I not come? I heard that our Overlord was very lucky and obtained a genetic beast with a compatibility index of over 95%, so I wanted to come and study."
"Okay okay, you don't need to mask your intentions. What study, you are waiting for our Overlord to decode that mysterious beast tamer's secret technique aren't you? We are all the same."
"Ha ha, you saw through me. Our Overlord is really lucky this time. On that last auction, Soul Beast Hall, Pegasus Institute, and Genetic Beast Research Institute all didn't show up, so there wasn't any match for our Overload to compete prices with. Our Overload only used 14.5 million points to get this genetic beast."
"That's right, since the dawn of history, people with the same professions are all competing. If those people were there, they would at least drive the price through the roof. Among the four beast tamer clans, we are the weakest, so going head-on would only put us at a disadvantage."
One old and one young, the two chatted in excitement. After crossing the yard, there was an independent two floor building in the corner. At this moment, outside of the building was already full of people gathering. They were all beast tamers, all of them were abnormally excited, and there were also people dedicated to passing on updates from the lab.
To any beast tamers, it's a difficult task to decode someone's genetic technology, and it will require multiple experts to collaborate.
Besides, decoding someone's skill wasn't ethical, and it could results in feuds and plots of revenge.
If one beast tamer decoded someone's technology, he will be chased to be murdered, but if it's a crowd, over hundreds and thousands of beast tamers decoding someone's technique together, doesn't matter how hungry that person was, he couldn't really kill all those thousands of beast tamers right?
This was called the law that didn't punish things done by the mass public. The so-called four big beast tamer clans, they were just operating under the name of learning together, but doing unethical things in the dark.
"All preparations are done! His Highness Overlord prepares to do it himself, and decode this genetic beast's genetic formula!" Someone responsible for informing the public shouted from the second floor.
"Overlord is magnificent!"
"If we can decode the secrets behind this genetic beast #1, then we can significantly improve the compatibility properties of the genetic beasts we make! Then we will be one step closer to getting the Star Lord title!"
"Ya, this time we really got lucky."
The beast tamers excitedly talked, and suddenly, they heard a sound coming out from the secret lab on the second floor.

Chapter 252: The Han that's being thought of
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Rumble~
Just when the beast tamers were looking forward to cracking Han's secret technique, they heard a loud noise. The second-floor genetic lab's roof was opened, and a strange-looking genetic beast jumped out with a human arm dangling in its mouth.
At the same time, the beast tamers also heard a mournful scream, coming from overlord Ma Wanli. He was attacked by the genetic beast #1, and that arm that was torn off was his.
"Don't let it get away!"
"Summon genetic beasts!"
"Attack it! Attack it! We must capture it alive!"
The beast tamers finally reacted to what was happening, and they all began releasing their own genetic beasts to capture beast #1.
But who knew, this fusion beast #1 was actually a tough bone. When being sieged upon by thousands of genetic beasts, it actually wasn't scared at all, not even to mention surrendering. With his pinnacle five star combat strength and close to perfect compatibility, it turned its enemies into a blood bath. Going in and out of the beast crowd, instantly annihilating dozens of genetic beasts that were failing to harm him.
If someone here was familiar with Han, he will immediately realize, this fusion beast #1 actually had some of Han's characteristics. It didn't run, just attacking, crazily attacking, and never surrendering!
This was the power of implanting the puppet!
Han used puppet technique inside #1's body, bestowing it with his stubborn fighter character.
Besides, the Beast Speaker Hall's people actually wanted to crack Han's genetic technology, what a joke! That Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts, a very rare genetic fusion technique in this world, and during the fusion process, Han even added in his unique dark power.
A genetic beast forged this way, if it could be decoded, that would be strange.
At the moment fusion beast #1 detected a decoding process taking place on it, the puppet implanted by Han took effect. It triggered the greatest potential of the fusion beast #1, causing the overlord of Beast Speaker Hall to lose his arm and brought chaos to the whole of the Beast Speaker Hall.
Although fusion beast #1 was ferocious, but after all there were over thousands of beast tamers in the Beast Speaker Hall. With the numbers advantage, they finally took down fusion beast #1. Since Han's setting was way too brutal, they couldn't capture this monster at all, so they had no choice but to kill it.
"14.5 million points ah! To buy such a thing?! What the f*ck is this sh*t?!" Overload Ma Wanli cursed angrily.
Not only did he lose points, he also lost an arm.
Although getting a new arm was no problem with the current technology, how can the replacement be compared to the natural one.
Beast Speaker Hall's points came from its members' contribution, so such a lost also darkened the faces of others. Not knowing who stirred up the trouble, the blame was placed all on Han, and suddenly Han became the target of hatred for everyone.
"Too evil! The beast tamer that made this fusion beast certainly didn't have any good intentions. Otherwise how could #1 just go berserk suddenly?"
"That's right! We must get justice back from Han!"
"An independent beast tamer, just arriving at Star Lord City without any background. We can force him to hand over the secret technique!"
"Its not going to be easy, but it's worth a try!"
In fact everyone did have a little hate towards Han, but more importantly, they wanted to get their hands on the secret technique.
Ma Wanli cursed for awhile but finally calmed down, closed the doors and summoned a few trusted men and began to discuss.
"We already took the hit. Now that things have progressed to this stage, what should we do? Should we get our reputation back?"
"Of course! If the other three families hear about our incident, they will inevitably sneer at and mock us. This is all the fault of that vicious beast tamer Han!"
"We have more people, we just need to capture him!"
"No! We don't know Han, what if rough treatment doesn't work on him? What's more important is to get his technique, then to take his life."
"Then what do you propose?"
"I think, this failed experience isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"What do you mean by that?"
"We already took the hit and spent the points, but now we have a rough idea of how to deal with Han's genetic beasts right?"
"Ya, then?"
"Then we should fund a large sum of points and take home the other two genetic beasts to study!"
"Spend more points?"
"Of course, how can this kind of thing not require investment?"
"But is it guaranteed that we will get this high-tech compatibility technology if we invest?"
"I think it's very likely. Firstly, the remaining two genetic beasts, we must take home at least one for research, and aim to decode the technology from research. Now we have experience, knowing that we need to carefully treat Han's genetic beasts, we can't let the same kind of accident happen twice."
"What if we still can't decode the secret?"
"Then this is the secondary plan I'm about to say. While we are researching Han's genetic beast, at the same time, we will hire elites and closely watch Han. After all, he's just a beast tamer. He definitely can't fight true bred warriors. If we can't decode the mystery on compatibility, then we will capture Han, and torture him!"
While the fierce discussion was going on, although Ma Wanli hated Han to death, he still felt rashly on laying hands on Han right away. First of all, he was afraid that Han's temper was too strong, and secondly, it was also against the rules and he might be sent to trial.
After carefully considering for awhile, Ma Wanli said in a deep voice, "Okay, we will go according to this plan. On one side, we will try to get the genetic beast and continue our research, and on the other side we have to be prepared. The moment research fails, we will capture Han and force him to hand out his secret!"
Star Lord City, Pegasus Institute
Just moments after Ma Wanli made his decision, the dean of the Pegasus Institute, Fernando, also received the news.
"What? That retard Ma Wanli lost an arm to a genetic beast? What beast is this powerful?" Fernando asked.
"It's said to be from an independent beast tamer named Han. It's a brand new species he created with a compatibility rating that reached 95%."
Dean Fernando first hesitated, then immediately shook his head, "Impossible, no one can raise a genetic beast's compatibility rating to 95%. That can be counted as a perfect genetic beast."
"Suppose someone can achieve this compatibility rate, then what he made isn't genetic beast. He's God, the God that can create life on his own."
"Teacher, if you don't believe it, you can look at this auction menu. The auction center is run by the All Gods Corporation, they won't lie."
Then, Fernando took a breath of cold air, with a blank look in his eyes, he sat down on his seat, with one hand on his chin, he muttered, "That means, someone really raised the genetic beast's compatibility rating to 95%? What a man, how did he do it?"
Fernando's student replied, "I don't know how Han did it, but its clear that the Beast Speaker Hall and Ma Wanli are determined to acquire this heavenly technology."
Bang~
Dean Fernando slammed the table and stood up, with his eyes staring wide open, "They are determined, with what?!"
"Who allowed Han to have such good skills but without any strength to back it up. He's not a member of any of the four main beast tamer clans, nor does he have any protection. If Ma Wanli wants to lay hands on Han, it's still very easy. At most he just needs to spend a little points as a price. You knew as well, many soldiers already gave up because they've stayed for too long at the Star Lord City and couldn't get the title, and the Beast Tamer Clans are all very wealthy. If they want to hire elites, there are many people that will be willing to do it."
Fernando's face darkened, he lowered his voice and asked, "What does this Ma guy plans to do?"
His student told him Ma Wanli's plan, Fernando then sneered right away, "Speaking of strength, we are stronger than Beast Speaker Hall! They can spend points to auction for the genetic beast, we can as well! They want to hire fighters, we have resources to hire more!"
"Does that mean we are joining this competition as well?"
"What do you think?"
"You are right, besides Beast Speaker Hall, Soul Beast Hall and Genetic Beast Research Institute also have movements. As for the objective, it's to get Han's secret technology."
Fernando pondered a moment, raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Compete, we have to compete! From what I think, the technology mastered by Han is very likely our chance to be promoted to Star Lord! We must compete at all costs!"
*sneeze*
Han, who was hardworkingly practicing, sneezed again. He wondered, there was probably someone that was thinking of him. It could have been Xiaoman, maybe Ye Weiwei, or even the Du Yunli that he just met.
"Damn, why do I have so many girls thinking about me." Han cheekily thought as he went back to practice.
But what Han didn't know was, it was not just one person that was thinking about him right now, but many groups of people. Men to be specific.

Chapter 253: Invitation
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
The first level of the dark net, real-time video connected.
Han was talking with four people: Ke Lake, Wuyun, Pathless, and Night Ruins.
Han smiled and said to them, "Now you guys all have the invitation card to the Path of All Gods. As long as you pass the preliminary test, you will be able to officially enter the Path of All Gods and enter the second layer of dark net."
"Of course, there's still limitations for those that just entered the Path of All Gods. For instance, although I already arrived at the Terminal Station of the first phase of Path of All Gods, which is the Star Lord City, I don't really have too much freedom."
"My particle module can't go anywhere other than Earth, the Terminal Station, and the locations specified in my missions. If I can get the Star Lord Title, everything will be different; I will be able to freely travel through all sectors of the universe, no one can stop me."
Han told these four about the benefits of the Path of All Gods, and also traded points to give them invitation cards, just like what Sansheng did for him before.
One invitation card was 100,000 points, it was pretty expensive.
Before Sansheng brought Han and the others into the Path of All Gods, he examined all participants very carefully, but now Han was loaded with money, and just casually bought four cards for the Three Addicts and Ke Lake.
There's obviously no doubt in the three addicts' strength, and Ke Lake was the most talented soldier on Earth besides Han. He was already at the edge of a breakthrough to reach the warlord level. If he could step into the second layer of the dark net and use that magical training room, it will be a ton of help for him.
Ke Lake listened to everything Han said. He was really excited but didn't say anything. Wuyun on the other hand tilted his head and asked Han, "Is the Path of All Gods really as good as you described?"
Han said lightly, "You saw the new Demon Claw. It was created using the technology I learned on the Path of All Gods. If you come, you will probably learn a lot more new techniques as well."
Wuyun hesitated for a second, then nodded, "I guess I must go check this place out now."
Pathless frowned and asked, "What happens to the Protector Chuli's migration plan?"
"Everything is going according to plan. Path of All Gods is like an elite plane, only the top talents can survive and take advantage of it. The migration plan is created for the citizens. We can't just stand by and wait for the migration plan to be implemented."
"With Long Chuan and the robot army in place, nothing will go wrong. Now we have to put our focus on the dark net, improve and challenge ourselves on the Path of All Gods. As long as we become stronger, the citizens will also benefit with us."
Amongst the three addicts, Night Ruins was the leader. He thought for awhile and then said, "Everything you said is very tempting, but the only problem is that the dark net pioneer Sansheng, the Protector Chuli, the Milky Way Alliance, the three main human factions all seems to have sent or have the intention to send elites into Path of All Gods. It's possible that we will run into our enemies in the dark net, that's not something we want."
Speaking of the three factions annoyed Han. The humans in the Milky Way were a puny race as it was, and it still was divided. Sansheng was the first person to enter the second layer of the dark net, recognized as Milky Way's pioneer, he and his comrades probably already got into the third layer of dark net. He's obviously more lenient towards a life on the dark net and the Path of All Gods.
As for the Protector Chuli, he and the people at the Oblivion Realm were more lenient towards migration. But as for the big movements made by Sansheng recently, Chuli's migration plan will probably continue, but he will also move closer to the dark net.
As for the Milky Way, that was a decadent and heavy machine. They wanted the status quo, not migrating, and not wanting to go to the Path of All Gods either. Due to the bloated organization and self-proclaimed leaders, the Milky Way Alliance's reaction was very slow. But it was said that they already knew Chuli and Sansheng's plans, and will likely send someone to the Path of All Gods just so they don't miss out.
In this way, the three main factions of the Milky Way human race will all gather their elites in the second layer of the dark net. There was one person in the Milky Way Alliance who was feared by the three addicts, and perhaps even the entire population of the Oblivion Realm.
Han asked in curiosity, "Who's really this guy from the Alliance that poses a threat to you guys? This is so odd, you guys aren't even afraid of death, but why him?"
Night Ruins shook his head, "You don't know, this man is the main fist of the Milky Way Alliance. If death is that easy, then we don't have to find the Protector and hide in the Oblivion Realm."
Han pouted, "The more you say things this way, the more I want to see this person."
"Don't!" Wuyun hastily said, "If you really meet him, then you will get screwed!"
Han said helplessly, "What makes you say that?"
Night Ruins let out a long breath, "Anyways, we will go. But I'm a man with a wife and a kid, I need to tell it to my family first. Just wait for a bit, we will see each other soon on the Path of All Gods."
How the humans in the Milky Way were not united really annoyed Han. As for the three addicts, the reason Night Ruins had hesitations was because he had a wife after retirement and also a daughter now.
People, once they had a home, will worry, and couldn't live like a care-free bachelor like before.
Taking this into account, Han felt that it was better if he stayed single for now. In the past, Night Ruins was the most vicious character out of their group of three, yet his temperament changed drastically after he got married. He became like a b*tch, and Han didn't want to be like him.
As he thought, Han travelled to the Transition Station and started working on a new fusion beast in the genetic lab that 9527 prepared for him. Since genetic beasts can be exchanged for large amount of points, why wouldn't Han make more.
The scalpel flew fast like a butterfly, full of power, yet not lacking precision, making people dizzy just by looking at it.
9527 watched in the surveillance video, and became happier the more he watched.
He felt that Han really looked nice when he was working, and this feeling wasn't only from Han's skilled techniques, but more from how focused he was. Now, even if there was a level 10 earthquake, Han's hands probably won't make an error of one millimeter.
Han finished a few fusion beasts in one go, all the materials were exchanged with points at the Transition Station, and immediately he began studying, reading, taking notes, and thinking.
And then it was practice time, Path of the Void 5th Path, Path of Demons.
This was Han's life; boring, focused, with a heavy workload. Han's workload in one day exceeded most people's in one week, and not to mention the time he took out of his schedule asking about Earth and the Robot army.
All in all, the longer 9527 knew Han, the more he realized, this young man wasn't a human at all, but a machine operating at full capacity.
Rumble~
After the training ended, Han went to test his source energy index as usual.
The numbers on the screen stopped at 1 million 816 thousand, and just not even one month ago, Han's source energy index just exceeded 1 million.
9527 slightly narrowed his eyes and nodded, whispering to himself, "This universe is filled of geniuses, but there's rarely any geniuses like Han. He obviously won at the starting line, but he still works this hard. Sigh, this is really unfair for other geniuses. When a genius starts working hard, then he's no longer a genius, but a demon."
Right after he said it, he just heard Han shouting in the monitor, "Old man, I'm going to go first! The people at the auction invited me to go watch the auction, it seems interesting, see you later!"
9527 waved towards Han and then said, "Almost forgot, this guy's curiosity is also pretty strong."

Chapter 254: Uncle Shui
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Han returned to the Star Lord City in his particle module and went to the auction center. From far away, he could already see that there was an ocean of people outside the center. Fortunately, Du Yunli informed Han of a separate, deserted entrance for him.
"Mr. Han!" Du Yunli greeted Han from afar. She was in professional wear. A short black skirt, white shirt, and chestnut-colored hair that was tied up, gave her a feeling of a professional woman.
Han smiled, went up and greeted back, "Luckily there's not many people at this entrance. The other entrances are pretty miserable, the lines were so long."
Du Yunli replied, "This is the VIP entrance, there is no need to line up."
"Who's VIP?" Han's head tilted to one side as he asked.
"You!"
"Me? Don't joke around, I'm not even an official member of the All Gods Corporation, how am I qualified to be a VIP?"
Du Yunli covered her mouth and started laughing, "Although you are not at the moment, that doesn't mean you won't be in the future. Your genetic beasts are this welcomed here at the Star Lord City, it will also be welcomed later when you get to the Star System City!"
"This is your VIP card, you don't have to be modest."
"Didn't you ask why there are so many people here today? That's because all the beast tamers in the city came. Also, those soldiers that like genetic beasts, a lot of them also came. They all want to see what a 96% compatibility rated genetic beast looks like."
Upon hearing that, Han didn't really feel happy and slightly frowned.
The biggest tree in the forest will definitely receive the most damage from the storm, and this truth has always been understood by Han.
Thinking back to his way here, there seemed to be many pairs of eyes looking at him, and that odd feeling from before surfaced again. But Han didn't take it seriously. After all, this was the Star Lord City and he was just a little character.
Now it seems, he should really be careful from now on.
Du Yunli led Han to the VIP room, although Han received the VIP card from the auction center, but VIP was also divided into different levels. The room arranged for Han was very small, and could only accommodate two people. It was also in the corner.
It will feel very intimate to sit there with a girl. By the look of Du Yunli, she clearly intended to stay and watch this auction with Han together, and their room was also in the dark corner. Isn't this a bit like a couple watching a movie together in a cinema?
When passing through the VIP channel, suddenly a skinny and small monkey figure jumped out of a room and grabbed onto Han.
"Han!"
Han turned around and looked. It was actually Jian Jia, still with that incredibly white little face and as playful as before.
Pa~
Han's hand very naturally landed on Jian Jia's shoulder, and he said in excitement, "It's actually you! I didn't even know you are also at the Star Lord City."
Jian Jia replied, "What's the big surprise, the Star Lord City has billions of people, it's not easy to meet someone you know. Where's your room? Is it far from me?"
Han didn't understand. He turned around and looked at Du Yunli. This little girl's face became red like a monkey's butt and began stammering to explain the location of Han's room.
"What!" Jian Jia said in disdain, "A sketchy room in the corner, Han you really seem to be going through some rough times. Don't go there anymore, come sit with me. Uh that … whoever you are, there's nothing for you to do anymore. You can leave now."
"Yes sir." Du Yunli was a little scared, and she respectfully bowed to the little monkey-like Jian Jia and left.
Han slightly frowned. He came from the grass root (TL: he has no background) and treated most people respectfully, but Jian Jia was clearly different from Han. He didn't even ask about Du Yunli's name and just referred to her as "that whoever".
Keke~
Just that that moment, three more people came over in the VIP channel: a middle-aged man with a very rectangular face, bushy eye brows with big eyes, and a young man with another person in the Auction Center uniform. Those two carefully followed behind.
That rectangular faced old man saw Han and Jian Jia were talking, and Han's one hand was placed on Jian Jia's shoulder. He was stunned immediately, then heavily coughed a few times. That young man immediately put on a hostile look and stared at Han, checking him out from top to bottom.
"Dad!' Jian Jia saw that rectangular faced middle-aged man and shouted, and then that little fox look of his appeared again, and he muttered, "Look, this is my friend Han, the people at the Auction Center arranged the smallest room in the corner for him. I want to invite him to our room to see the auction. Besides, Han's also a beast tamer. You always said to listen to the opinion of the crowd, there's no harm to hear what he has to say."
Jian Jia's words carried some feminine vibes, full of his own style. The rectangular faced middle-aged man took a look at Han, then gently nodded and said, "Young man, I see you look very familiar, have we met before?"
Han said honestly, "Probably not, this is also just my second time meeting Jian Jia."
"Oh." Jian Jia's father said, "Then maybe I remembered wrong. Since you are here too, then let's just spectate together."
Delighted, Jian Jia just dragged Han into the room.
After pushing the door open and walking in, Han couldn't help but pout. This was the room that directly faced the auction stage, the best location. Even 20 or 30 people in here wouldn't appear crowded, with an independent washroom and a bar, giving off a super luxurious atmosphere.
Jian Jia invited Han, and that young man behind Jian Jia's back appeared to be a bit unhappy. He was about the same age as Han, with a pointy chin, very thin lips, two towering cheek bones, and a head of neatly combed blonde hair. Overall, he looked a bit mean.
The other person that accompanied Jian Jia's father to the room was that manager of the Auction Center Katyn. Han didn't know him, but he knew about Han.
Maybe from Katyn's point of view, Jian Jia's father was a respectable important figure, and seeing how Han and Jian Jia was actually that familiar with each other, she was first surprised, then was about to open her mouth and say something to Jian Jia's father.
Just at that moment, that mean-looking young man waved his hand in disdain and said to Katyn, "What is it? You want to enter the room too with Sir?"
Katyn first hesitated, then thought that maybe this young man was a bit unhappy because Jian Jia brought Han into the room, so she smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Then why don't you get out immediately?" The young man continued to speak with harsh language.
Katyn nodded with a smile. She backed off and left. With a "bang" sound, that young man closed the room's door.
After closing the door, that mean look immediately disappeared off that young man's face. In front of Jian Jia's father, he was very courteous like the spring breeze.
He helped Jian Jia's father to sit down, and then sat down beside him.
"Since I can meet you at the auction, then that means Bo Ya is also likely to be in the city too?" Han asked Jian Jia, those two chatted on another side.
"It's not 'possible', but for sure."
Then Han replied, "If we can get a hold of him, we can go eat fried chicken and drink beer together. A few days ago, me and two of my friends went to this little restaurant. The fried chicken there was very delicious. It was said that they used a very rare ingredient, so the chicken had a lotus leaf flavor."
Eat fried chicken?!
Drink beer?!
The mean-looking young man glanced at Han in disdain. He was sure, Jian Jia would for sure reject Han's suggestion, because with Jian Jia's background, how could fried chicken and beer match his identity?
"Deal! I haven't tried lotus leaf flavored fried chicken yet. With chilled bear, it must feel nice!" Jian Jia said with a smile, and right after those words came out, that mean-looking young guy felt a wave of dizziness.
Han continued, "Unfortunately, although fried chicken and iced beer is nice, it can't be eaten as a main course. After drinking, we can get two more steamy delicious meat buns, only then will I be satisfied."
Jian Jia's two hands held his chin and he said in excitement, "Meat buns, is that the thing you gave to me last time? A piece of flat bread folded with meat inside? To be honest, it tasted a bit oily."
Han waved his hand and said with all seriousness, "That time was too rushed, the meat bun was cold. It should be eaten when it's still hot, and there is 30% meat skin and 10% of fat, otherwise if it's all lean mean, then it will taste too dry without any texture, and the scent wouldn't be sufficient either. In addition, there's diced green pepper, cancelling out the oily taste."
"Oh, so that's what should be like. Then next time I will for sure try the meat buns that you speak so highly of." Jian Jia said with a look full of expectation.
Meat skin~
Fat meat~
In bread~
What the f*ck is this?!
That mean-looking young man couldn't hold it anymore, and even Jian Jia's father slightly frowned. To them, it didn't make sense to miss out on the great delicacies to chew on a piece of bread with meat inside. What is this!
"I heard that you are also a beast tamer?" That young man asked Han.
"Yes, my name is Han and I've learned some genetic technology before." Han looked at him and Jian Jia's father and said respectfully.
"My name is Zhu Yanan, this is Jian Jia's father, you can call him Mr. Shui." Zhu Yanan introduced and then asked, "About the two number-series genetic beasts being auctioned tonight, what's your opinion on them?"
"What number-series genetic beasts?" Han asked in curiosity. He hadn't heard that they are auctioning some number-series genetic beasts, only just that two of his genetic beasts were getting auctioned.
"So as a beast tamer, you don't even know something of this importance." Zhu Yanan's attitude was clearly looking down on Han. He then turned around and said to Jian Jia's father Mr. Shui, "Uncle Shui, this time I specifically invited you over, it's solely for these two strange number-series genetic beasts."
"This set of genetic beasts came from a mysterious beast tamer that no one knows about. He used what could be called pioneering technology. Before this, the #1 genetic beast was already auctioned, and it triggered a great sensation in the beast tamer community, and even the entire Star Lord city."
"Amongst the number-series genetic beasts, #1 and #2 both have a 5 star level strength and a 95% compatibility rating. They could be said to be miracles in genetic beast engineering!"
"The one even stronger is the #3 genetic beast. It's also the main character of today's auction. This genetic beast has a beginner 6 star level strength, and its compatibility rating also reached a stunning 96%!"
"Uncle Shui, it's too great that you can personally come to the scene. I will promise you, this Auction will for sure not disappoint you. Unlike a certain beast tamer that hadn't heard of this big new in his own community. During these years, beast tamers that don't carefully study but wants to receive the Star Lord title, it's really some wishful thinking!"
Zhu Yanan was making sense at first, and then he began targeting Han.
And Han frowned and thought to himself, "Don't carefully study? Study what sh*t! Those two retarded bastards were my creations!"

Chapter 255: Men's nature, evil at birth!
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
"What is this crap?" Han mumbled to himself, he was too lazy to name the fusion beasts so he used numbers instead, and the result actually became the so-called number-series genetic beasts.
Holy crap, he just wanted to save some trouble, and definitely didn't want to come up with a whole series of genetic fusion beasts.
Now that things had progressed to this point, Han had no choice but to stay still and observe. He pouted, but didn't say anything.
Zhu Yannan then said to Jian Jia's father, "Uncle Shui, this beast tamer is able to raise the genetic beasts' compatibility rating to such degree of perfection, I think he must have mastered some secret technique that we don't know about!"
"This kind of secret technique has great significance to us. Consider this, if we recombine esper soldiers with godly beasts, then we can be able to produce powerful godly beast warriors. Godly beast warriors will have both the intelligence of humans and also the ferocious force of beasts, enough to reverse the current unfavorable situation that the dark net is facing!"
Combining humans and beasts?
This idea made Jian Jia's father frown, and Han also couldn't help but gently grunt. Zhu Yannan was indeed an outsider to this industry, this idea was simply terrible.
Zhu Yannan heard the noise that came out of Han's mouth. He immediately became very angry and said in a deep voice to Han, "You have any opinions on my idea?"
Han lightly said, "The combination of intelligent life and beasts involves very complex technical problems. According to my understanding, all intelligent lives, especially those high level espers, all have the power of the soul. This kind of power will severely hinder the integration process, unless the soul is completely erased during the fusion process."
"In simple words, if you put esper soldiers and beasts together to create new kinds of battle-type organisms, even if this creature is created, it will have the beast's part as the main body, occupying over 60%, and then the remaining part would belong to the esper, unable of achieving a balance."
"So what if there's imbalance?" Zhu Yannan coldly asked.
Han replied with a smile, "It will waste resources. High level esper soldiers' power will be mainly wasted, and if that's the case, you might as well not fuse them together."
Han spoke from personal experience. The Ghost Claw was the combination of intelligent life and beasts. After the combination, the queen bug took 70% of the new life's body as the dominant one, and the dark apostle only occupied 30%.
Besides, if one used esper soldiers that were not high level, then the new life's battle strength will decrease and not be able to reach the expected combat strength.
All in all, with Han's understanding, Boundless Ten Thousand Beasts could complete the recreation of beast and human, but the result was a bit tasteless, consuming a lot of top tier raw materials to create a finished product of one plus one less than two.
Han's argument was naturally attacked by Zhu Yannan. He said Han doesn't know sh*t.
At this moment, Jian Jia who was listening on the side couldn't resist anymore, and he said to Han, "I always thought you are a pretty nice guy, but how come in your mind, those esper soldiers all became raw materials? You know that they are the same as you, they also have families and friends, how can you be this cold-blooded?"
Han was speechless. The raw materials he was referring to was obviously enemies like the dark apostles. In Han's eyes, enemies could not be seen as humans, he will for sure treat them with no mercy and use them as raw materials.
After all, Han came from a grass root origin, his teachers were three madmen who taught him being kind to the enemies is being cruel to oneself.
So when he was talking about combination with Zhu Yannan, he didn't know who Zhu Yannan was thinking of using, but Han was just thinking about using enemies for the fusion process. They were pretty good raw materials, pretty wasteful to just kill them and not do anything with their bodies.
When these words landed in Jian Jia's ears, he thought Han was the same as Zhu Yannan, all prepared to use the soldiers under their command as raw materials, but that's not the case. Han treated his people like brothers, he was just used to being brutal towards enemies and that's all.
"Let's not mention this again." Jian Jia's father seemed to be a little unhappy seeing that Jian Jia is angry, so he suddenly gave Han and Zhu Yannan a glance, then walked over and said something beside Jian Jia's ears, and Jian Jia's face then finally became better.
"You promise?" Jian Jia asked his father in a little childish tone.
"Promise, of course I promise."
"That's ok then. Han, come over." Jian Jia got his father to go away, then waved at Han.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Jian Jia asked as if he's a little high up there.
"I'm not wrong." Han said honestly, he really didn't feel that he's wrong, so he was determined to not compromise.
"You are not wrong? You plan to fuse intelligent life with beasts to create an evil life form, and you say you are not wrong?" Jian Jia's voice raised a few pitches.
"It will be good if he's actually capable of doing it." Zhu Yannan mocked on the side.
Han just ignored and frowned, "Jian Jia, I know you think this is an evil thing to do out of the kindness in your heart, but you have to know, you being nice doesn't mean that other people are nice. In my life, I haven't seen many evil beasts, but I've seen many people that are more evil than beasts."
"With those kind of people, if I have the power, I will of course choose to use them as raw materials to make even stronger combat creatures, and use those creatures to protect me and those that I want to protect. What's wrong with that?"
"You are being unreasonable!" Jian Jia shouted.
"You are the one being unreasonable. Looks like Bo Ya was right, people like you that grew up in a big family background completely don't know the evil in the real world. Things like enemies, you have to kill them for sure, use them, and no matter how cruel you are to them, you are not wrong."
"You are wrong! Even though some people are evil, the inside of their hearts is still kind!" Jian Jia was still persistent with his saint-like belief, and that was also Han's most hated rhetoric.
Han faintly smiled and coldly asked, "When you are young and don't know better, have you stepped on ants before? Used fire to burn them? Or used water to flood them?"
"If yes, then you tell me, what did the ants do to you?"
"Now you will obviously say that it's not right to kill ants, but have you ever thought about why you were so cruel when you were naïve? But became kind after you grew up?"
Jian Jia suddenly became a bit dumbfounded. He really had killed ants in the past. Now he wouldn't do it again, but hearing what Han said, Jian Jia suddenly realized, he did seem to have been more evil when he was little in comparison to now.
Han took a pause and said, "That's because people are born with an evil nature, without education, people can become creatures that are even more vicious than beasts. Your so-called kindness, it's not the education later on that allowed you to become kind!"
Jian Jia's face became pale, in a debate, how could he be Han's match.
Jian Jia wanted to refute, but when he thought of the countless ants he killed using boiled water when he was small, Jian Jia then felt guilty. He also wanted to know why he just hated ants when he was small. To those ants, he was indeed the embodiment of evil.
Jian Jia's father and Zhu Yannan on the side both became dumbfounded!
Jian Jia's father really loved him and never even dared to speak loudly to him, but now, Jian Jia was obviously getting upset from arguing with Han. His two little hands began shivering.
And Zhu Yannan just gave Han a big thumb up in his heart and thought, "Even dare to provoke Jian Jia, you should just wait for death now!"
Han obviously wouldn't sit here and watch anymore, he suddenly jumped out, and that crazy idea that flashed through his mind made him uncontrollably excited.
"Men's nature, evil at birth! Men's nature, evil at birth!" Han thought to himself over and over.
Bang~
He pushed the door open, without greeting anyone, he quickly walked away, and this move left the other three people in the room completely stunned again.
Especially Jian Jia. In fact, in his heart he quite admired Han. Back when they fought side by side, that power and prestige in battle, and that courage to save the Border Legion, it was really unforgettable for Jian Jia.
Suppose Han just slightly apologized, or did not apologize but just explained with a few words, Jian Jia could accept it too!
But the fact is, Han almost pissed Jian Jia off to the point that his lungs was about to explode, and then, there was no more "then", he just left!
Whatever happens after in the room, Han didn't care. He of course had to leave, because at that moment he understood something very important to him.
People are originally evil.
The so-called Path of Demon, is actually the path of nature!
If he wants to proceed any further, he needs to first unleash that demon inside his heart!
And that's the fifth path of Six Paths of Void, Path of Demon!

Chapter 256: One Hundred Million!
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
After Han left, the room's atmosphere turned awkward. Zhu Yannan tried all methods to loosen up the atmosphere, and it was barely enough to make Jian Jia temporarily forget about being unhappy, making Mr. Shui's mood better.
"Look, the next one up is the genetic beast #2. As for the even stronger #3, it would be left for the end as tonight's final auction." Zhu Yannan pointed a genetic beast that was pushed onto the stage using a large alloy shelf car.
Shua~
Right after his voice faded, the auctioneer lifted off the black cloth that was covering the cart. The audience was immediately shocked, a wave of surprised voices rolled across the room.
It was a golden-eyed white tiger with wings!
Those golden eyes were like a pair of golden bells, a cluster of snow white fur was on its forehead, and with a tough and high backbone, it had a pair of eagle-like giant wings emerging off its back.
The #2 genetic beast's eyes coldly swept past everyone at the scene, and from its domineering force, one could see that it completely didn't put these humans in its eyes. Whereas most genetic beasts, after being sent to the auction stage to be observed by tens of thousands of people, would usually exhibit some emotions. The weaker ones would be scared, and the stronger ones would become angry.
But the genetic beast #2 didn't have any reaction, and just treated the entire audience as nothing. This kind of innate pride was not something that could be simulated, and it was completely natural, only owned by beasts of extremely high level.
The auctioneer proudly announced, "Everyone look, this is the legendary genetic beast #2, the second of the number-series top tier monsters."
"Maybe everyone has noticed, the atmosphere exerted by the genetic beast #2 is very different. In fact, we already noticed and measured this unique characteristic. This is definitely the calmest genetic beasts that our auction house has assessed, like a cold-blooded killer!"
"Please do not be fooled by its calm appearance. Take a look at its claws, they are simply three sharp blades hidden below those paws, and they came from a top tier star beast, the Golden Badger!"
Everyone followed the lens that projected onto the screen. Indeed, claws like three sharp blades were hiding.
Kacha~
Suddenly, the claws were revealed and a cold light flashed through the stadium.
When everyone looked again, #2's claws were completely out. It suddenly attacked the alloy cage that held it. The tritanium alloy bars that were thicker than fingers were immediately broken.
"Run!"
"The monster's coming out!"
That series of movements were especially frightening. The tritanium alloy chains were broken right away like toilet paper. The claws of the #2 genetic beast could be compared to lasers!
Some timid customers thought that #2 was about to break free from the cage and they were immediately scared to the point of crapping their pants. Even Jian Jia's father was suddenly shocked, and countless guards hidden in the corner rushed out.
Shua~
The next second, an energy shield activated from below the cage, creating an additional barrier in front of the genetic beast #2. This thing saw that there was no escape to this crap, so it finally lazily laid down onto the floor and withdrew its claws.
The auctioneer said with a smile, "Did everyone see? #2 is very intelligent, and is the most cold-blooded killer. Only striking at the moment we least expect. Luckily, we prepared in advance, he won't be able to flee."
"Of course, this is just our demonstration, and we purposely didn't activate the master-recognition system. Once it recognizes its master, it will naturally stay completely loyal."
"And when dealing with enemies, #2 will be very efficient with its cunning and lethal character."
"Not to mention the staggering 95% compatibility rate. And if you approached closer you will notice #2 isn't like any genetic beasts you've seen before. There's not a single trace of recombination on its body. It's entirely a whole, with every cell in its body reaching a high degree of integration."
"It's not even an exaggeration to call it a brand new species."
"All in all, this is the most unprecedentedly high intelligence, high combat strength, and high compatibility genetic beast I've ever seen in my career. According to the battle strength estimation, the genetic beast #2 has no match at all in the area of 5 star battle beasts. To be able to beat it, there's only hope if a 6-star genetic beast is used."
"After all, #2's compatibility rating is way too high. Everyone knows, the higher the compatibility, the more perfect is the combat genetic beast. And this big guy you guys are looking at right now, is the world's rare perfect genetic beast!"
"The auction starts now, starting at 5 million dark net points. Who's willing to offer 5 million points to take #2 home?"
The auctioneer's words were indeed very convincing, but more importantly, #2 was indeed very good. It's cold-blooded, lethal, loyal, and perfect.
In the past, whichever beast tamer's genetic beast could have 80% of the compatibility rating, that could already be called miracle, because the majority of the ordinary genetic beasts' compatibility rating doesn't exceed 70%.
But #2's compatibility rating was actually as high as 95%! That's no longer a miracle, but a god's work!'
"5 million!"
"8 million!"
"10 million!"
Ma Wanli who sat in a room sucked down a cold breath. When #1 was being auctioned, after dozens of bids, the final price only auctioned to about 10 million points…
But this #2 just came out, with just 3 bids, it's already past the 10 million point! This was not a good sign.
"12 million!"
"13 million!"
"Don't be so womanly! Be more straightforward, I bid 20 million!"
Woo~
People followed his voice and looked over. They saw that it was Soul Beast Hall's overlord Meng JinJiang. He was a man with temper, and he anxiously carried the auction price to 20 million.
Right after his voice faded, another elder's voice came out from the room beside them.
"Well, us Pegasus Institute aren't b*tches either. 30 million!"
Shua~
Everyone's eyes stopped at an elder with white beard. He was in a soft textured gown, looking a bit scholarly. He had an elegant demeanor, but was not vague with his bid at all.
"40 million, the Genetic Beast Research Institute is determined to get it!"
Immediately beside the Pegasus Institute's room was the Genetic Beast Research Institute's room. These guys used the name of research but actually dealt in pitiful things like stealing and smuggling
Of course, because the Genetic Beast Research Institute did relatively more bad things, they also had relatively more money in their hands and allowing them to bid that high without hesitation.
"50 million!" Ma Wanli finally couldn't help but open his mouth now. This was the highest price the Beast Speaker Hall could afford, and Ma Wanli chose to go all out because he hoped that he could deter the other three opponents. Otherwise, if they kept on calling out higher prices, then Ma Wanli probably wouldn't have a single opportunity left to bid.
Even though they were the weakest out of the four big clans, Ma Wanli still didn't want to be embarrassed and just sit there while the other three shouted out their bids.
As the auction progressed to this stage, the vast majority of people already didn't have the chance to join the competition anymore.
After all, speaking of money, it was still the jobs with creation skills that were more lucrative. Beast tamers, pharmacists, black smiths, and mechanics enjoyed higher revenue, whereas the normal soldiers would have to make money bit by bit from fighting.
"55 million!" Not even waiting to Ma Wanli's voice to fade, Meng Jinjiang already raised the price by another 5 million, and that made Ma Wanli's face really pale.
Indeed, the difference in strength was suffocating. There were only a few hundred members under Ma Wanli, and even if everyone donated 10 thousand points, it would just be a dozen million points. The other clans had thousands of members so they could easily amass 100 million points.
Sigh~
Ma Wanli gently sighed. It was not that he couldn't take out more money, but he was still thinking about #3 genetic beast. In comparison to #2, #3 should be a lot stronger! With a 96% compatibility rating and a beginner 6 star combat strength.
In the big center room, Zhu Yannan was very smart to not join the bid war but was observing Jian Jia's father Mr. Shui.
He observed that this Mr. Shui clearly forgot about the unhappiness caused by Han and listened to the bid war. He was also tempted to join. With his fists clenched, he stared at #2 without blinking, clearly being attracted by this rare monster.
Zhu Yanan also looked at Jian Jia. Although she was also showing some interest, but it was obviously not as much as his father. Maybe he was still thinking about Han.
Zhu Yanan silently mumbled to himself, feeling that Han's conflict with Jian Jia and his father could very likely be an opportunity for him.
Suddenly, Zhu Yanan's eyes lit up, he saw Mr. Shui's one hand was about to raise up, as if wanting to place a bid. At that moment, #2's auction price had already raised to a sky high price of 80 million!
Zhu Yanan faintly smiled, gently pulled on Mr. Shui's right arm, and said, "Sir, please rest assured."
Then, he stood up, and shouted full of energy, "I call 100 million!"

Report chapter
Zhu Yanan got up and shouted full of energy, "I call 100 million!"
Wow~
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the audience. The citizens of Star Lord city were all working towards the title of star lord, but even if they went through the hardwork and dedication to finally obtain the star lord's title, that was still just the lowest level of membership of the All Gods Cooperation.
So at this Star Lord City, points were still very valuable. But Zhu Yanan just stood up and shouted out 100 million, appearing as though he was willing to accompany whoever wanted to continue raising the price. Such determination caused the four big beast tamer clans to all shake their head in sadness, no longer willing to call out even higher prices. After all, these points were all earned by the brothers in the clan through hardwork, it's not worth competing with a rich second-generation like Zhu Yanan.
Zhu Yanan's eyes swept past the audiences rows, enjoying the way people were looking at him right now. Then he took a look at Mr. Shui, seeing that he was also slightly nodding. The Jian Jia on the side just tiled his head and looked at him, with an ambiguous expression. But Zhu Yanan just assumed it was admiration, and lifted his chest even higher.
"100 million points going once!"
"100 million points going twice!"
"Deal! Congratulation to the #1 Room's gentleman for winning this number-series genetic beast!"
Zhu Yanan triumphantly sat down and then said to Jian Jia's father, "Uncle Shui, just treat this as my gift to you."
Jian Jia's father faintly smiled, "Yanan, isn't this gift a bit too expensive?"
Zhu Yanan hurriedly said, "Not expensive at all, it's just a little share of my mind. If Uncle Shui can make any discoveries from this genetic beast, it will be beneficial for the entire corporation. A few points is worth it."
Jian Jia's father slightly nodded, "Good! Such great intentions and ambition at such a young age is admirable. Yannan, you can be called the role model of the younger generation in the Cooperation."
Even Jian Jia's father complimented him, Zhu Yanan suddenly felt that this 100 million points was definitely worth it!
Of course, if he knew that the #2 was actually Han's work and the high price he offered was equivalent to giving points to Han, then he for sure wouldn't be as happy as now.
Zhu Yanan took a peak at Jian Jia and noticed that he was still sulking. Jian Jia was born into such an influential family and was trained to be patient and magnanimous. He was not angered by other people easily, yet Han really did make him angry just now.
But such a feeling was also very strange. People like Zhu Yanan would think of thousands of ways to try to make him happy. Jian Jia had seen too many, so he didn't care at all.
But this Han character, without a servile attitude towards him, actually interested him a lot more.
Suddenly at that moment, the auction center became boiled up! Tens of thousands of people at the scene were hustling and bustling, it was deafening.
Zhu Yanan immediately turned around and looked, and saw that tonight's finale, the genetic beast #3, has appeared!
It was a slightly large golden flying python . Among the people around Han, Han most admires Ke Lake for being able to fly, so aside from creating claw beasts, he also liked to create genetic beasts that could fly.
This golden python could of course fly, but its wings were very short and small, and after a closer look, these wings actually turned out to be a second layer of scales.
Everyone was surprised at this whimsical design. The golden scale quivers and the python flies, Han's train of thought when designing the beasts could be regarded as very unique.
Without a question, when the golden flying python were in the air, it was like a quick missile. When it was on the ground with its wings withdrawn, it was still incredibly fast!
Right after appearing, the entire auction centre's temperature was instantly lowered by a dozen degrees, and whoever met the gaze by that pair of golden eyeballs couldn't help but shiver.
It was just like a statue. Despite the environment, it just stood there fixed, with its lower body coiled up, upper body raised in the air, emulating a king on a throne.
The beast tamers all became dumbfounded, along with the soldiers. Zhu Yanan, Mr. Shui, and even Jian Jia completely forgot what was troubling him.
"What a strong arrogant force. Dad, I like this genetic beast." Jian Jia said to his father.
Mr. Shui lightly smiled and nodded.
The father and son's actions were all observed by Zhu Yanan, and an uncontrollable urge surfaced. These years, Zhu Yanan gifted Jian Jia countless treasures but they were all thrown aside by him. This was still the first time Zhu Yanan heard it from Jian Jia's mouth that he liked something.
Well, who wouldn't like it?
Anyone could see Han's advancement in skill. From #1 to #3, Han's grasp on the Boundless Ten Thousand Beast was maturing at an uncontrollable rate. When Han was working on the third one, he already completely grasped this technology and also added in a few design elements of his own.
Such a design was quite bold. Even if #3 didn't have an incredible compatibility rating of 96%, it would still give everyone a refreshing feeling with its shocking aura.
The auctioneer said excitedly, "Everyone look! This is tonight's finale, the third one in the number-series genetic beasts!"
"Without further introduction, I believe that all the experts in the audiences can already see how unique this #3 is. What I want to tell everyone is, aside from a 6-star battle strength and a godly 96% compatibility rate, #3 also has the temper of a general!"
"Just now, I described the genetic beast #2 as a cold-blooded killer, but this #3 is the five star general among beasts!"
"In the warehouse of the auction house, the moment #3 appeared, all the genetic beasts lowered their heads without any resistance. As for #3, he was acting just like right now, not moving an inch."
"We purposely borrowed a genetic beast that was at the 7 star level to scare #3 a bit. And guess what? When the 7 star genetic beast saw #3, it started roaring and showing off its fangs towards #3, but #3 just slightly tilted its head, coldly glanced at it and then turned its head back and remained motionless! Doesn't matter how the 7-star beast provoked it, #3 just completely ignored him! That arrogance, that calmness, it's something I haven't witnessed in my life! "
"I swear to Heaven and Earth, #3 is simply godlike!"
"As we all know, only combat type monsters with 7 stars of combat strength or above can be recognized as godly combat beasts. Today, I dare to call #3 as a godly combat beast! Although it doesn't have the level, but it has the temperament that exceeds godly combat beasts!"
"Now, let us auction this godlike combat type genetic beast #3. Starting price, 50 million!"
Wow~
There was an uproar in the auction center again. Oh boy, #2's starting price was just 5 million, but #3 actually rose 10 times!
After such a reserved price came out, everyone at the scene had a premonition. Today would probably create history in all of the Star Lord City's auctions!

"50 million!"
"60 million!"
"70 million!"
"75 million!"
"80 million!"
"90 million!"
"100 million! I will bid 100 million points!"
The bidding process was very crazy, in the blink of an eye it already passed the 100 million mark. Especially the four-big beast tamer clans, they were going all out since they couldn't get the first one, and they placed all the resources and attention on the finale #3. As a result, the price was skyrocketing.
"110 million!" Ma Wanli shouted. He was also just going all out. Originally, the highest budget for the clan was just 100 million, but seeing #3's extraordinary strength, he decided to gamble once.
"120 million!"
"125 million!"
"130 million!"
All the representatives of the four major clans all stood up, face all red, raising the auction center's historic record over and over.
If the 100 million price for #2 was astronomical, then what was happening with #3 was just madness. When the price reached past 100 million, these crazy people didn't even blink.
"150 million!"
"160 million!"
"180 million! Come at me!"
"190 million! It's mine!"
"200 million!"
Rumble~
The audiences felt dizzy. 200 million, it's past the 200 million mark! Are these people even planning to live after this auction?
Looking back at #3, it was still calm and motionless, completely without a care about these humans crazily bidding over it.
"210 million!" Ma Wanli darkened his face and shouted. This price was already twice his original budget.
Unfortunately, Wanli budget was smaller than other people's. The 210 million bid didn't hold for more than a few seconds and it was already pressed down by the Genetic Beast Research Institute's offer of 215 million.
Boom~
Ma Wanli sat down helplessly. He knew, he really couldn't raise the price anymore… This crazy auction was no longer a game for someone at his level to participate.
Ma Wanli gritted his teeth. Since he couldn't lay his hands on the genetic beasts, then he was only left with one last path to go, and that was to bear the risk of being trialed for violating rules and lay his hand on Han!
"Han, you did not offend me, but you are just too unlucky!" Ma Wanli closed his eyes and muttered silently.
Inside guest room #1, Jian Jia glanced as his father. At this moment, the bid competition was approaching an end, leaving only two parties left that still had the resources to compete. One was the Pegasus Institute, and the other one was the Genetic Beast Research Institute. As for Beast Speaker Hall and Soul Beast Hall, they both no longer had the strength to compete anymore.
The overlord for Pegasus Institute was an old researcher with no expression on his face. He indicated his bid with hand gestures. As for the Genetic Beast Research Institute, the overlord was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes. His voice was hoarse, carrying hints of insidiousness.
The two continued to raise the price, and when the number reached 265 million, the old researcher from Pegasus Institute finally let out a long sigh, smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this point, Pegasus Institute also didn't have the financial resources to continue competing anymore.
"Dad!" Jian Jia suddenly whispered beside his father's ear.
Uncle Shui slightly nodded, indicating that he understood what Jian Jia meant. He was about to raise his right hand.
At this moment, Zhu Yanan who was observing on the side suddenly jumped up and then shouted again, "300 million points!"
After all, it was 300 million points! Zhu Yanan's voice was clearly shivering a little, but he still tried to suppress the excitement in his heart and make himself look calm.
Shua~
"What? 300 million?!"
"Why is it this kid again? Who is he?"
"Sitting at the most noble Room #1, I think he probably comes from a big background."
When everyone's attention fell on Zhu Yanan once again, the pain he felt from bringing out such a large sum of money dissipated. Now he felt like he was floating again and became arrogant.
"Yanan, what's the meaning of this?" Uncle Shui slightly frowned and asked.
Zhu Yanan straightened his back and said, "Nothing, since Jian Jia likes this genetic beast, then I will buy it and give it to him as a gift."
"Humph, who needs you to gift it. It's not like I can't buy it myself, right dad?" Jian Jia said with a little temper.
Mr. Shui thought for a second, smiled and said, "It's okay, he means well anyways. Since it's a gift for you, then you take it."
Jian Jia bit his lips a bit, then a little reluctantly nodded his head.
300 million points, that was a bit too crazy. Even the triangular eyed overlord from the Genetic Beast Research Institute finally became silent. With his fists tightly clenched, like a defeated cock, a strange light flashed across his eyes.
The mad auction finally ended, and manager Katyn hurried to room #1 because she heard that the noble Mr. Shui wanted to talk to her.
Pushing the door open, Katyn stood on the side respectfully.
Mr. Shui said in a deep voice, "You are doing a great job here. I've looked at the past record of this auction house, the profit has been growing. When I go back, I will report everything I saw to the higherups."
"Thank you, sir." Katyn said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing
Nodding, Mr. Shui continued, "These two numbered genetic beasts are a bit interesting, can you make some arrangement to let me meet its creator before I depart?"
Katyn hesitated for a second, then replied, "Sir, didn't you already meet him?"
Mr. Shui was completely confused, "Who did I meet?"
Katyn replied, "Han, the number-series genetic beasts all came from his hands."
Katyn's words silenced the whole room.
Zhu Yanan's face became completely pale, "You said the number-series genetic beasts are all made by that brat Han?"
Katyn replied, "That's right, I saw you buying Han's work at such a high price. I even thought you guys were friends and you were helping him out, could it be that you don't know about this?"
Zhu Yanan shouted with no demeanor at all, "How the f*ck did I know! If I knew it was made by Han, then I would rather throw that money away instead of buying his sh*t!"
Mr. Shui slightly frowned on the side, and Zhu Yanan suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He was way too gaffe. After pretending to be a nice person for too long, he still couldn't help but expose his true nature.
Zhu Yanan really wanted to find a crack on the floor and crawl into it. His points was only enough to buy the genetic beast #2, and he had to borrow from his family clan to buy the third one.
This was clearly borrowing money for Han to spend! He was feeling so triumphant just a few minutes ago, and didn't expect retribution to come this fast.
What was even more exasperating was, now Zhu Yanan's heavily in debt, and he didn't even get a good impression in front of Jian Jia and Mr. Shui. This really crushed his heart and made him want to cry.
"Huh? It's actually made by Han?! I didn't know he also has that kind of skill!" Jian Jia said with a little fox face. At this moment, he forgot that he just had an argument with Han, and the expression on his face was clearly admiration for Han.
Zhu Yanan severely bit his tongue, secretly scolding himself for being an idiot. Borrowing money to buy Han's genetic beasts to gift to Jian Jia, there's really nothing that can measure this level of stupidity.
But who knew that the following words from Jian Jia was even more hurtful. He just squinted his eyes and said, "If I knew it was made by him, I can just ask him to make one or two for me for free. Oh right, dad, you said Han looked familiar, and do you know why?"
Mr. Shui asked in curiosity, "Why?"
"Because he is the guy that fought off the insects with me and saved the Border Legion! At that time, he was the commander on the battlefield. I told you before, and you actually forgot!"
Mr. Shui was shocked and said with a surprised expression, "Oh it was him! No wonder I thought he looked so familiar!"
Jian Jia spoke again, "I was just fighting alongside him and was heavily rewarded by you, but Han was the commander at the time, shouldn't you show some gratitude as well?"
"Yes." Mr. Shui heavily nodded, "You are very right, although Han is not officially a member of the Corporation yet, but there's an exception for everything. Don't worry, you dad is always very clear with rewards. Talents like Han who are also responsible, I will not let him be treated badly."
Zhu Yanan's face became even darker. Gritting his teeth, his heart was full of endless anger.
"Go now, I have something else to do. I will meet Han again before I leave." Mr. Shui said to Jian Jia.
"Ok."
Zhu Yanan was just like a mindless zombie following behind Mr. Shui and Jian Jia. After Jian Jia knew that Han created those popular genetic beasts, his mood clearly drastically improved, and he just kept on complimenting Han in front of his father.
Mr. Shui kept nodding nonstop. At that time when Han led the nameless army and fought their way in and out of the insect tsunami, and saved the Border Legion and the entire defense line, there was no higher-up in the All Gods Corporation that didn't hear about it.
Mr. Shui originally had a very good impression of Han, and after today, learning that Han was not just a genius commander and fighter, but also a talented beast tamer, his impression of Han became even better.
But those words were just like knives stabbing Zhu Yanan in the chest, not allowing him to breath.
When passing through the atrium, Zhu Yanan waved secretly, and then a dark guard from his family came over.
"Find Han, I want his life!" Zhu Yanan whispered bitterly.

Chapter 259: Tracking and Ghost Transition Station
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Han didn't know that his fusion beasts were being sold for such a shocking astronomical price. At the moment, he had muted all forms of contact with the outside world and concentrated on practicing his Path of Demon.
In Star Lord City, there were, of course, training rooms. But for some reason, the level of the training rooms here was not as high as the ones at 9527's place. In 9527's transition station, Han could use madness mode, or even nightmare mode, but at Star Lord City, the highest one was just the enhanced mode.
Not having the time to mind these details or to go find 9527 right now, Han just borrowed a training room inside the Star Lord City and began exploring the Path of Demons.
After all, it was the 5th path of the 6 Paths of Void, and its difficulty level was extremely high. Although Han understood what the Path of Demon was, but grasping it wasn't something that could be done in a day.
Rumble~
Han completely released himself in the training room.
He was shouting again and again, trying to force out the brutal side of his heart, pushing his zero-degree brain region to the limit and releasing source energy.
But reality was always cruel. Dozens of hours passed and Han was already exhausted. He still couldn't push his Path of Demon to the highest point, as if he was still not crazy enough to become a demon.
This was indeed something Han didn't expect. One must know, his nickname was "Tough bone" Han. Whether it was combat or training, he was always desperately trying a lot harder than anyone else.
But this kind of desperation and hard work still could not awaken the Path of Demon, as if such an existence needed some special part within Han to activate.
When Han left the training room, he noticed that he received a lot of messages. Some were sent by Jian Jia, who wanted to arrange a meeting after a few days, complimenting how awesome Han's fusion beasts were in between details. He also emphasized that his father really wanted to meet Han too.
Han thought for a second, felt that the Jia father and son were definitely some special people. As the old saying goes, more friends mean more paths. Besides, it was just one dinner together. Nothing can go wrong, so he accepted the invitation.
Then it was Lance's message, telling Han to go to the mission center to accept a mission. Han was really close with Lance, so he directly dialed the number back.
"What were you doing? Why are you replying to me just now?" Lance immediately asked right after picking up.
Han didn't hide anything from Lance and said, "I suddenly had some insight in my field of martial arts so I went to the training room."
Lance hesitated. He knew how powerful Han's forbidden techniques were, and if advancements could be made, it would be too great. So he asked in curiosity, "Did you succeed? Did it work?"
Han helplessly shook his head and replied, "I don't know why, but I always felt that it was just one step away. Let's talk about why you called me, what mission is that important?"
Lance got serious right away, "The mission center recently started giving out the Wind Forest Volcano quest! If you have time, go to the mission center and accept it as soon as possible!"
Han was a little puzzled, "Why do I have to take this mission?"
Lance began to feel a bit anxious for Han, "My brother! You should really understand how hard it is to get the Star Lord title. Not only do you have to have the capabilities, but also the luck, and the Wind Forest Volcano is the mission with the highest promotion rate in the history of Star Lord promotions! The highest! Not even one of the highest!"
"And the Star Lord city's mission center is a bit odd, missions cannot be chosen but drawn randomly. Recently, a lot of people began receiving the Wind Forest Volcano mission, and I also heard that dozens of people already successful got their Star Lord title recently."
"Hurry up and drop whatever you are doing and go to the mission center. Didn't you run into some problem during training? Maybe after you get onto the battlefield, your problems would be solved naturally. In short, hurry up and go! The mission center is already flooded with people!"
Han nodded. Lance's words made sense. One might not have insight just relying on training and thinking. Maybe after he get onto the battlefield and fought a few battles, all the problems would solve itself.
"Okay, once I get the chance I will go to the mission center right away." Han said to Lance.
"Don't forget man! Also, Wind Forest Volcano is a group quest, when you are in line to draw missions, remember to pay attention to those around you, because they will very possibly be teleported to the same mission. If you feel that the people around you are too weak, you should rather lineup again. These are all experiences you must remember." Lance said.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention when I'm there."
Han smiled and turned off his communication with Lance. He didn't feel that Lance was nagging a lot, but that only friends would keep on reminding him of this and that.
When he saw the third message, Han almost couldn't help but jump in excitement!
It's a message left by Du Yunli from the auction center saying that Han's two fusion beasts were sold for 400 million points. 400 million points! Han didn't even expect it in his dream that his fusion beasts could be that valuable.
And before, Jian Jia's message only mentioned the fusion beasts, but didn't talk about how much Han gained. Maybe because Jian Jia didn't really care about things like points.
"400 million points?! I'm f*cking rich now!" Han said in excitement, "Yuan Yuan, let's go."
"Where are we going master? Didn't master promise Lance that you would go to the quest center?"
"We are going to find 9527 to shop for stuff. As for the mission, it can wait." Han said happily.
When they were leaving the training center, Han felt a weak presence watching him. Han turned and looked around but didn't notice anything odd, so he went into the subway system and traveled to the boarding area outside of the city.
Star Lord city's design was very cumbersome. Every time, one must leave the city to go to the outskirts to travel to somewhere else, which annoyed Han every time. Using the particle module inside the city wouldn't cause any damage anyways, so Han really didn't get why the All Gods Corporation was being this careful.
Shua~
Han's particle module disappeared. In the forests on the periphery of the boarding area, two people came out. Both of them had similar facial features, looking like a pair of brothers, with the older one keeping a short beard.
"This kid was pretty cautious ah, he stopped several times to investigate the situation around him. I don't know how he noticed us."
"Maybe because his sensory skills are a bit developed. How is it? Can it detect where Han went?"
"The signal showed that he went to the transition station."
"What's the number?"
"9527."
In this pair of brothers, the little one is responsible for the technology. After he finished saying Han's destination, he was immediately stunned and his face became very pale.
"What happened?" The big brother with short beard asked, "Why's your face so ugly right now?"
The younger brother swallowed a mouthful of spittle and said, "Brother, on the transition station list, there's no #9527 transition station."
"Impossible. Is it because something went wrong with your system? This time we are taking the Zhu Family's order, we must not piss off that Zhu Yanan guy. Although Zhu Yanan himself is nothing special, but the Zhu Family is not something we can fight." The big brother frowned.
"Brother, there's really no #9527 transition station. This system set was given to me by Zhu Yanan's personal guard. With their family's power, the system definitely cannot be flawed." The technology expert little brother said.
"Could it be…"
"Brother, did you think of something?"
"Yep, do you still remember, the legend of the ghost transition station?"
"You are referring to the transition station that actually doesn't exist? It can't be? The legend says that this non-existent transition station is also connected to the dark net system. It is exactly identical to a real transition station but it wanders around in the deep level of the dark net like a ghost. If anyone unfortunately logs onto that transition station then he or she's never coming back. Brother, this thing is important, should we immediately report to Mr. Zhu?"
"No! With Zhu Yanan's character, he won't trust us. Let's just wait and see. If Han doesn't appear again, then it means that he really went onto the ghost transition station. If he can still come back, then it means that the system in our hand is flawed."
"Okay, big brother's idea is safer, let's do that."
Han rushed to 9527 in excitement, and right after jumping out of the particle module, he shouted, "Old man! Old man! I'm rich! Hurry and give me that energy coating blueprint, my brothers at home are waiting to use it!"
After a bit, 9527 indeed came out. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, stop shouting. Look at that excited look on your face, as if you are afraid that no one knows that you are rich."
Han hesitated and asked in curiosity, "That means, old man you know about it too now?"
The way 9527 smiled was a bit creepy, and he mumbled, "Whatever happened on the second layer of the dark net, there's nothing I don't know."
He looked at Han and asked, "Other than the energy coating blueprint, what else do you want?"
Han laughed and said, "Since I'm loaded with cash now, give me some advices, whatever for me, for my brothers, for the fleet, or for the robot legion, everything sorted by the highest level.
9527 slightly nodded, mumbled something about how Han loses all his cool after getting some money.
"Speaking of the robot legion, there's indeed something you can use. Follow me."
9527 took Han into an electronics-related hall, found a nail-sized chip from the shelf. This chip is embedded in a valuable white crystal, and it also has an outer layer of energy protection device.
"What is this?" Han asked in curiosity.
"This chip's code name is Prime Minister." 9527 said.
"Chips can still have a code name?" Han asked in confusion.
"Yep."
"What's it used for?"
"There's no use for you right now, but it might become useful later on. You can install it onto Yuan Yuan."
"And then?"
"Then I will tell Yuan Yuan the functions of this chip, and when needed, Yuan Yuan will naturally activate it. But before he activates it, you won't know."
"Why?"
"No reason, I just don't want you to know."
"You are being unreasonable." Han frowned and looked at this odd fat old man.
9527 slightly smiled and said, "You are right, I'm unreasonable, but this is the only chance. If you want it then give me 100 million points, or else you will never come across this kind of opportunity again."
Han gritted his teeth, looked at 9527 very seriously.
"Okay, just tell the function of this chip to Yuan Yuan, I just won't ask." Han nodded and said.
This time it's 9527 who suddenly hesitated and looked back at Han, "You little brat, you can even accept this kind of condition?"
Han slightly smiled, "Both you and Yuan Yuan are people I trust. Things suggested by you and controlled by Yuan Yuan, why wouldn't I accept it?"
9527 suddenly got a very strange feeling in his heart. "Han trusts me this much, he doesn't even know who I am, and he actually trusts me."

Chapter 260: Return with Full Harvest
Translator: Editor:
"Come check this thing out. This is the purifier used by the pharmacists. It's a very old model due to this type of machine being constructed with a very rare type of dark metal. It's no longer being produced now."
"But from performance, this machine is far better than the models currently in use by pharmacists. You know as well how important the purification process is to pharmacists. Even the one thousandths of impurities may very likely cause the entire medicine's effect to go south, so this old model purifier may be helpful for you. After all, due to your unique physique, you need to frequently take a lot of medicine." 9527 pointed at a very small silver machine and said.
Han placed this purifier in his hand. Heavy, excellent design, it was indeed a fine model that was rare to come across.
"And this thing, the blueprint for the Thunder series transition engine. The biggest feature of this engine is its fast speed and short cooling time, capable of increasing the speed of the star ship by 80%." 9527 then took out another set of discs containing blueprints to Han.
Han suddenly hesitated, increasing star ship speed by 80%? That's way too terrifying!
After countless years of development, the transition engine's technology was already one of the most developed technologies in the universe. On this basis, the performance can still be improved further by that much?
While talking, 9527 stuffed a lot of interesting things to Han's arms. The majority were things that the Earth army or the robot legion may be able to use later, and some were things that could perhaps be useful to Han later on.
Han slightly frowned and asked in curiosity, "How many points will this much things cost?"
9527 shook his head, "Zero. You bought the Prime Minister chip, these are all included."
Included?
Unbelievable. The value of all these things was probably worth even more than that mysterious little chip, and they actually came with the purchase?
Until the receipt was printed out, Han noticed that it really only costed 120 million points for all those things. That's when he finally believed it and calmed down.
The receipt was automated by the dark net system. It wouldn't lie, nor was there anyone that could mess with it.
Han suddenly came to a realization, smiled and said to 9527, "No wonder you let me spend so much on a small chip. Looks like there's an ulterior motive haha. The chip isn't really valuable, what's important are the things that are included, they are too useful for me!"
"Thank you so much! If it wasn't for you, how would I know that there's such a trick in the transition station."
9527 blinked and muttered, "Think whatever you want to think, after all these things are all yours now."
"Gotcha! Long Chuan and the others will be happy to death this time! I must get back fast and give these things to them." Han said with an unusual level of excitement.
Shua~
Han hurriedly left the transition station, and the transition station that was just bustling because of Han and the other little guys, became quiet again.
9527 looked at the place where Han's particle module disappeared, and gently sighed.
His palm gently waved, and a display appeared in the air, indicating a skew of account information. Everyone that arrived at the dark net had an account, but what was strange was that 9527's account section had no name. The name section was blank.
"Points, what use do I have for that?" 9527 pouted and said.
He gently waved and transferred the 120 million points that was just given by Han into this nameless account. And, this account's balance showed a long list of numbers, the total was unbelievably large.
After Han brought the goodies back to Earth, he divided them into two parts, shipped most of them to the Twin Horse Galaxy and handed it to the leader robot Source, and then gave him responsibility for the distribution.
Everyone was excited because Han brought back many incredible existences, such as energy armor that even ordinary people could wear, a powerful new transition engine model, and even complete laser weapon blueprints.
After this equipment became massed produced, the Earth Army and the Robot Legion's combat strength would significantly improve, allowing the once-vulnerable Earth to become a force in the Milky Way that could not be taken lightly of.
This was the joint effect mentioned by Han before: Han worked hard in the dark net world and in turn affected the reality, and not only Han improved drastically but the Earth Army also benefited significantly.
Han told everything to the Three Addicts and Ke Lake, and they desired to join the dark net even more.
After finishing all this, Han returned to the Star Lord City and went to the mission center.
As one of the biggest institutions in the Star Lord City, the mission distribution center occupied a prominent location at the center of the city. This center of the city was almost like a small city of its own, formed by 36 gigantic buildings.
Since people had been recently receiving the legendary Wind Forest Volcano mission, the mission distribution center was flooded with people, and even some old people that still weren't able to get the Star Lord qualification came out. Although they don't have much time left, but there's still hope and desire in their eyes.
This was because the moment they receive the Star Lord qualification, they could start challenging even higher level layers. After entering the third layer of the dark net, the world would be filled with all kinds of treasures, and some can help prolong the life of these old soldiers or even restore youth.
So speaking from this point, these old soldiers that didn't have much time left were more willing to give it their all than the young soldiers. For these people that have already spent hundreds of years here, they already grew acceptance towards life and death.
The mission distribution center was constructed by 36 giant buildings, and each building had 12 quest distribution points. Han randomly picked one and started lining up.
Followed Lance's advice, Han took a look at the people in front and behind him. He noticed that he was pretty lucky since he was surrounded by elite soldiers, especially a pair of similar-looking brothers. The younger one looked very gentle and intelligent, and the older one looked very powerful.
In front of Han was a bald man. His body was all white except his hands were black. Presumably he practiced some kind of poison-related technique. When Han looked at him, he was also looking at Han, and both faintly smiled and nodded at each other.
Han thought to himself, he heard that the Wind Forest Volcano was a 12-men quest. If he could really get these people on his team, then it could be a good thing. Other than the 2 old men, most people around Han all look like pretty strong fighters.
In fact, there were even better choices, Lance, Hei Xiaolin, and Bo Ya. These brothers of his were very familiar with him, and then they could line up together. But these people all hoped to get the Star Lord title, how would they wait for him especially after losing communication with him for so long. They already went to some unknown quests.
"Wind Forest Volcano!" Han suddenly heard someone in front of him shouting.
Han looked up, and it was one of the old soldiers who lined up in front of him. Seeing that he actually managed to get this kind of good quest that had a very high chance of promotion, the two old men were all excited to tears.
The staff at the mission center were also some locals in the city without any training. The one responsible for Han's line was a middle-aged man, and he waved towards the people behind the two old men and said, "Starting from these two, the next 10 people behind them will enter Wind Forest Volcano mission. You guys don't have to draw anymore, just have to sign up over here and then you will all be sent to the battlefield at a set time,"
Very soon, the 12 people finished signing up. The situation was just as Han envisioned, other than the two old men that didn't look too capable, the others all seemed to be really strong. It was a group of elites, and the chance of acquiring the Star Lord title was very high.
"Nice to meet you guys, let's take care of each other when we get onto the battlefield." The taller old man tried to shake hands with everyone and said.
"The departure time is tomorrow morning, how about we first find a place and get familiar with each other. Then on the battlefield, it will be easy for us to cooperate, and then we can successfully get promoted." The short old man said very sincerely.
"No need." That bold man coldly said and actually turned around and left.
Even the pair of brothers that Han looked highly of also reacted similarly. The younger and nicer brother lightly tapped twice on Han's shoulder, smiled and said, "Not bad, I look forward to going onto the battlefield with you. As for anything else, we will pass, we have other things to do."
In the blink of an eye people actually all left, leaving behind only Han and the two old men. Han also felt that there's no point discussing with these two people, because if they really have the capabilities, then they already left this place a long time ago. Staying here at such an age, it only means that they aren't strong enough.
At this moment, the shorter old man said, "Those people are scared that we will pull behind their legs, when we get onto the battlefield, we might be killed for being liabilities."
"Yep, maybe they wanted to discuss tactics behind us two. But even if we will face death, going to the Wind Forest Volcano is still a must. I've dreamed about this day for many years!"
All hearts were flesh-grown, and after hearing the two old men said this, Han was a little moved. He smiled and said, "Two old men, you guys are thinking too much, maybe they really do have something else to take care of. But I have some time, let's go grab some coffee together."

Chapter 261: A Group of Assassins
Translator: Editor:
Han quickly became familiar with the two old men, the taller one was called Lipton, and the shorter one was Dini. Both were soldiers at the quasi-warlord level.
When they were young, quasi-warlord level already indicated having good talent. Unfortunately, after they came to the Star Lord City, their level became stagnant ever since, and now hundreds of years have passed and their levels were still the same.
The increasingly aging Lipton and TIni now treated this opportunity very seriously, and Han said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I observed the other people that will also be going with us. They are all very strong, and at least 4 of them are above warlord level. Maybe this time you guys will succeed."
Dini shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. Although the Wind Forest Volcano is the mission with the highest promotion rate, its difficulty is also high up there. Also, it's not against the rules for teammates to kill each other on the battlefield, so I feel that we don't have that much of hope."
Han was a bit puzzled, "Why does Wind Forest Volcano allow friendly-fire?"
Lipton explained, "Because the difficulty is way too high. Sometimes, a team will have to sacrifice a few members to acquire victory, so that's why this mission is also known as the quest of sacrifice. It would be nice if 3 or 4 people can come back alive."
Lipton explained the cruelty behind the Wind Forest Volcano quest. Han slightly nodded, understanding once again that it was really not an easy thing to acquire the Star Lord title from this kind of quest.
Faintly smiling, Han said to those two, "In any case, we should still all give it a try right? As long as we tried, then we don't have to mind the result."
The second day came immediately. Han didn't go to the transition station but stayed in Star Lord City to train, tune his equipment, and prepare everything that would be needed on the battlefield.
When the agreed time came, Han went with Dini and Lipton to the boarding area outside of the city. They all took out their particle modules and went in. No one else showed up, they probably went to other boarding areas to enter the mission.
After the preparation, Han nodded towards the two old men. They all closed their particle module, activated the system, and after the countdown ended, they were teleported into the mission system.
Ka~
Han opened the module door, and he saw that the other people had already arrived at the mission landing area. Black sand accompanied by mad wind made it hard for everyone to open their eyes, and Han instinctively activated his energy coating system.
Shua~
Han's entire body was immediately wrapped up by a controllable protective energy layer. The sand couldn't get to his face, and the energy protection layer was very soft and weightless, just like air.
"Brother Han, your equipment is pretty powerful. It's still my first time seeing a piece of equipment with a controllable energy coating as the outer layer armor." Lipton said out of surprise.
Han hesitated, "It's just an energy coating system, this kind of thing should be very common, right?"
Dini replied, "At least us two have never seen it. Where did you get this equipment?"
"From the transition station." Han answered truthfully.
Dini and Lipton then mumbled a bit, both claiming that they have never seen a controllable energy coating device that can be designed this delicately. But they also believed that Han wouldn't lie to them, and thought that it was probably because they didn't look around carefully enough in the transition station.
After all, the transition station was gigantic, and the exchangeable items could be counted in hundreds of millions, so it's normal to have not discovered some items in the corner. They both said that they would go to the transition station after this and purchase one for themselves.
The twelve members were all here. Han observed everyone and he estimated that the strongest ones would be that pair of brothers. The big brother's name was Big Mountain, and the younger brother's name was Big River. Han was not an expert in names or anything, but these names did seem a little fake to him. But there's nothing to be done, that's how the system displayed those two.
There's also another bald man and a hunchback. He probably had strength above the warlord level, but the atmosphere around them was clearly weaker than the Big Mountain and Big River brothers. They were probably a little lower in terms of level as well.
"What do we do now?" Han asked.
Lipton answered, "Wind Forest Volcano, the first round is wind. There are many dangerous elements hidden in this black wind, and we have to first run out of this black wind in order to get into second round. In the dark forest, if we choose the wrong direction and run into traps and beasts, then we will be screwed."
Dini spoke, "I recommend we all line up in a vertical line like a snake, with one person exploring in the front while others follow. That way we can move together and also won't be scattered."
Dini and Lipton talked while the others stayed silent, as if passing this Wind Forest Volcano mission was not something they cared about.
Han slightly frowned, this situation alerted him a little, and he deepened his voice, "If so, then I will lead, you guys follow me."
"That would be nice!"
"Your energy coating device can protect you from the wind and sand, then you can just be the pioneer."
Seeing that everyone was not speaking and all thinking of something on their own, Han gritted his teeth a little and went straight into the black storm, with Dini and Lipton closely followed after.
After those three began moving, the nine others closely followed silently. Within such a short period of time, they seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, but Han, Dini and Lipton were still out of tune with the other nine people.
"Eye of Darkness, open!"
Han quietly used his dark vision and scouted the area ahead. Then, he lightly touched the Lunar Mark, summoned Silver Fox out of the void, and whispered in its air, "I feel something's wrong, go hide and act accordingly."
Shua~
Silver Fox climbed down along Han's trousers, and disappeared in the black sand storm immediately, with no one noticing it.
To a clever thing like Silver Fox, Han didn't need to give it too much details, just some simple instructions and it would already know what to do.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. Han's team slowly advanced against the storm, everyone was half a meter apart and moved in a formation shaped like a snake.
In the middle of the team, the bald middle-aged man named Jacques quietly approached the hunch-backed man that walked in front of him, and then transmitted his voice quietly using source energy, "Look, there are stars in the front."
The hunch-backed man slightly hesitated, then replied back with source energy, "What star?"
"White Dwarf Star."
"Where does the star light points to?"
"Black hole."
The two people used source energy and communicated with words that no one understood. It was a kind of code phrase used to show each other their identity as killers.
That bald guy slightly smiled and said, "What a coincidence, your target is the same person as mine."
"Han?"
"That's right, it's him."
"Who hired you?"
"Beast Speaker Hall, you?"
"Pegasus Institute."
The two became silent for a moment, and then the hunchback man said, "In fact, I also know those three people over there. They are the same."
"It can't be, they are also going for Han?"
After a few seconds, they understood, those three people also came for Han, it's just that they were hired by Soul Beast Hall.
They also noticed that the other two people seemed to be on the same mission. After asking with code language, it turned out that they were hired by the Genetic Beast Research Institute, and their target was also Han.
"What to do? There are 7 of us, hired by 4 clans, all targeting Han." The bald guy said in quietly.
"Follow the old rule, we capture Han together, and Han goes to whichever clan pays the highest price."
"Okay, agreed."
"Agreed."
"Since everyone agreed, then it's settled. Besides Han, there are also two old people at the front and two strangers at the back. They seem a bit troublesome."
"Simple. Don't have to worry about the two old guys. As for the two people behind us, send someone to explain to them, tell them either take money and shut up, or we will just take care of them too." The bald man said.
Then, the bald guy began slowly moving towards the end of the team where the brothers were at.
"Hey look, someone came to talk to us." The quieter-looking little brother smiled, an arc raised at one end of his mouth.

Chapter 262: Hunchback and Men-Eating Ant
Translator: Editor:
The bald guy on Han's team, whose name is Jacques, approached the two strange brothers and said to them in a deep voice, "We are going to settle some personal business after a while, you'd better be clever and stay out of this. I will leave a you a way out!"
The two brothers were called Big Mountain and Big River. Both were not their real names, but that was what was recorded in the system.
After they heard the words from Jacques, the two brothers' faces blanched with fear and even started trembling, nodding over and over.
Even Jacques was a little bit surprised by how the two brothers were so easily intimidated.
Practicing discernment was essential to a killer.
Jacques observed the two brothers and judged that they were not pretending. They were just like two paper tigers, notwithstanding his threat at all.
"Cowards." Jacques took a glance at the two brothers with disdain and whispered, "Just follow us, do not go ahead no matter what."
"Alright, alright. A-as you wish." The two brothers hurriedly replied.
The bald Jacques went back to the middle of the team and said to the hunchback named Jensen, "All set, we don't have to worry about the two guys at the back. When the opportunity arises, we will attack Han. First, we kill the two troublesome old men, and we get Han, then we kill the two cowards at the back, and it is completely clear."
"When shall we get started?" Hunchback Jensen asked.
"Not at this place, it's too windy and dusty. If Han gets away, it would be difficult for us to catch him. We will start working on it when we leave the black sandstorm and arrive at the black pine forest. Just wait for my order." Jacques said as he waved his black hands.
At the same time, the two brothers at the far end of the line smirked. The younger brother Big River said, "I really didn't expect that nine out of twelve would want to kill Han. How unlucky can he be to end up in this situation like this?
The older brother Big Mountain sneered and said, "Well, we kill the ten people in front us as soon as we get out of the black sandstorm, especially the damn bald guy. How come he dare to threaten us? Goddamn it."
"Hey, it seems like we are getting out of the black sandstorm." The younger brother was surprised for a moment and murmured. "How could it be so fast? Han is quite capable."
Big Mountain disagreed, "He could live a little bit longer if we were in the black sandstorm. From now on, you wait for my signal, and we shall do it together."
Han was always careful, but no matter how careful he is, he would never realize that there were so many people out there who wanted to kill him.
Shabu~
Han rushed out of the black sandstorm first, followed by the two elderlies, Lipton and Dini, and then the rest of the team.
Han looked back. He saw the black hurricane was spinning, rolling up the black sand.
The black pine forest that appeared before Han was different from any pine trees on Earth. The pine trees here were extremely tall, each was around a hundred meters in height, with a black trunk and black pine needles. There was a thick layer of fallen pine needles on the ground, very soft under Han's feet.
Han did not stay, he continued to lead the team, proceeding ahead for around twenty kilometers, leaving the black sandstorm far behind. They eventually found an open area and stopped there.
"Let's take a break here, you must also be tired." Han said to the two elderlies behind him.
The two warriors, even if they were already old, still had the abilities of a warrior, firm and tenacious. They did not say a word even if they were tired.
The taller one Lipton said, "We don't have to rest yet just for the two of us, we can still hold on for a while."
Han opened his automatic pill case, handed over two pills to them and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anymore, someday I will also get old. On the other hand, I feel like the black pine forest doesn't seem right. We shall stop here for a while so I can choose the direction of our next move."
What Han said was of course an excuse. At the first moment of them leaving the black sandstorm, he had already finished investigating with his eye of darkness and a direction has already been chosen. Now, it was just an excuse to let the two old man to take a break.
It seems like that Lipton and Dini had taken Han Lang's words as true. Dini took out a bottle of energy drink, when the bottle just touched on his lips, suddenly a hand came out violently and knocked over his bottle.
"Why the hell are you drinking! Don't stay here and keep on moving! If you two old bastards are incapable of this just say it out loud, don't be our burden!"
It was a blonde young man yelling. He had been pretty quiet since the start, why would he be so unreasonable and break out at this moment?
Dini and Lipton fell into an awkward position. They were definitely old, not having the stamina and fighting capability back when they were young, but they had been warriors for life, and went through numerous deadly duels. Being humiliated by a young man at their older age was very embarrassing.
'Hum'
It was at that moment, Han made a sound of contempt in front of the team, pointed at the infinite black pine forest and said, "Go in there if you can, or just shut up."
Han was in a bad mood. The blonde young man was stunned, and then he yelled like crazy, "What do you mean? Do you think you are the boss of this team? Who the hell do you think you are?"
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Han rushed to that arrogant young man, not even waiting until he finished his words. His fingers swept over the Lunar Mark , showing his god-class equipment Star-Strangling Boa.
Using such a deadly move, no one at the scene had ever anticipated that to happen.
The blonde young man did not either, his provocation was just a strategy, but Han's brandishing knife was no strategy, that was coming straight for the blonde young man's life.
The blonde young man quickly jumped backwards, his reaction and evasion speed was near perfect. Han missed his slash.
However, Han's Star-Strangling Boa was a god-class piece of equipment.
Its slash came with a semilunar arc.
In a nutshell, the blade of the Star-Strangling Boa did not need to even touch the enemy to secure a kill. The semilunar arc that came along was deadly.
'Gengci'
The blonde young man's head was suddenly cut off. It was only when his head was already three meters high in the air then did the blood spurt out from his chopped-off neck.
If you ask what was the Path of Demon?
That was it!
Only if these guys met Han a few days ago, they would not have ended up like this.
He was unfortunate, extremely unfortunate; provoking Han after Han had understood the Path of Demon.
What was Han worrying about the most at that moment?
It was that only after he understood the Path of Demon, did he find that he was not crazy and evil enough!
So Han Lang reminded himself every moment, to be more ruthless, crazier and more evil.
To be evil, that is to kill!
Some people were determined to be good people. However, Han Lang was determined to be an evil!
All the time, he disciplined himself by the standard of evil.
Whoever provokes shall die!
That was straight forward.
There were only six of the seven killers left and the fight had not even started. The rest of the killers were all waiting for the bald Jacques's order. However, even Jacques himself frowned, things were completely out of his expectations. This Han was quite cruel.
"What do you mean?" Jacques frowned at Han and asked.
Shabu~
Han Lang replied with an eye full of maliciousness.
'You want to avenge him?'
Jacques was startled, slightly shaking his head
Han walked a few steps ahead, picked up Dini's water bottle from the ground, handed over to him and said, "Whoever wants to leave, just leave, we are taking a break."
Dini and Lipton were too grateful to say anything, Han really helped them out. They just wished that they were not too old to fight with Han instead of being taken care of.
Bald Jacques obviously did not anticipate this to happen. He clenched his teeth, wanting to make a call to attack, but could not make up his mind.
At the moment, the hunchback turned his eyeballs and said, "I am also tired, let's take a break."
It was until then did everyone sit down, Han was sitting together with the two old men, and the six killers was sitting very close to each other. The big mountain and big river brothers were sitting pretty far from the rest of the team, seeming to be afraid.
"Just wait, let me create an opportunity." Hunchback Jensen murmured.
The rest of the killers were shocked. All knocking their heads and thinking to themselves. "We shouldn't have let that frivolous blonde guy set the trap. Now not only did they let the opportunity slip, the blonde guy even died from this."
In the current situation, it would be more desirable for the highest-ranked hunchback Jensen to set up the trap. Jensen and Jacques were the strongest two of the bunch of killers.
Around two minutes later, the hunchback Jensen suddenly stood up, took out some strange-smelling black little pills and shared among the others. He said, "I was told that there are some kind of man-eating ants in this black pine forest, it will only take them few seconds to turn a living man into bones."
I just happened to have some of the ant's feces, taking them with us and the man-eating ants will see us as their same kind so they wont attack us.
Everyone took the feces balls and placed them underneath their noses. It sure emitted some strange smell.
Dini also said, "I have also heard of that before, in the black pine forest, no matter how strong of a star beast you encounter, it is far from the dread brought by the man-eating ants. Those ants are so tiny that we will not be able to see them with our bare eyes. As for the speed of gnawing, they are more efficient than a meat grinder. If you have excess feces balls, give us some also."
Hunchback Jensen sneered, "Don't you worry, we are a team, everyone will get their share."
Having said that, Jensen walked to Han, where the group of killers narrowed their eyes.
Killers paid great attention to start attacking secretly when the opponent was unprepared, so they wished to find a chance. The blonde man suddenly challenging Han Lang was a trap set up by them.
If it was as usual, just killing someone wouldn't cause them so much trouble, killing Han Lang when they found a chance was not so hard for these killers.
But the key was, the four major genetic beast clans wanted him to be captured alive.
That was the reason why the killers lead by the hunchback and the bald man were so cautious. They had an opportunity that Han would never have thought of to capture him alive.
In the meantime, hunchback Jensen had already approached Han. His back had always been hunched, at that moment it was even lower. The bulge-like bump on his back was pointing right at Han Lang.
Suddenly, when Jensen was no farther than five meters from Han, Han suddenly twitched his ears, and blocked Jensen with one arm, stopping the hunchback from approaching him.
Stop! Han Lang shouted.
At that moment, Jensen felt a wave of fear, raising the hair all over his body. "Did he see through our trap? That is impossible, how could he?"
"Something was going on around here, we have to leave immediately." Han jumped up and said.
"But the pill?"
"Throw it to me, quick!"
Shabu~
Hunchback Jensen had no choice and threw the pill to Han Lang.
Once Han Lang has caught the pill, he slightly twisted the black pill with an extremely subtle action using his fingers, and then put it away.
It was only after this that hunchback Jensen let out a long sigh of relief. He winked towards the other killers stealthily, conveying a simple signal, "All set, you just wait and see!"

Chapter 263: One Versus Six
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
With Han's warning, other people also noticed that there seemed to be beasts approaching and surrounding them. Pairs of green eyes appeared around them, creating a chilling atmosphere.
"Here, follow me!"
Phew~
Han led the team and started sprinting again, and the creatures that were hidden in the forest followed as if they were not in a rush to strike, but cunningly waiting for their prey to make a mistake.
Even those people that really wanted to kill Han couldn't help but admit, Han was indeed an excellent leader. Under his lead, this team didn't run into any traps, and escaped the terrifying creatures' attacks again and again.
Shua~ Shua~
Hunchback Jensen observed Han as he ran, scratching his face from time to time.
His fingers were becoming sticky, and he noticed that skin began falling off from the excessive scratching. But he still couldn't help but want to scratch it, as his face and body became increasingly itchy. But under the thick combat suit, Jensen couldn't get his body, so he only could scratch his face and neck harder.
"Jensen, you-"
When bald man Jacques turned around and saw Jensen, a terrified look showed on his face and his voice suddenly stuttered as if he saw something abnormally terrifying.
Jensen suddenly hesitated, lifted his left hand and opened up the second layer of his automatic drug kit. There was a mirror there, and he really wanted to know, why did Jacque look like he saw a demon when he saw his face.
Shua~
Jensen finally saw his face. It was a terrifyingly ugly one covered in bloody clumps, like a piece of rotten meat with an ugly hump on the back, and his whole body was bent like a shrimp.
Jensen almost couldn't believe that was him. After many years of training, his sharp eyes saw that there seemed to be many creatures undetectable by the naked eye crawling in his skin, crazily eating away his already-ugly face.
It was also at that moment, Han who was leading at the front suddenly stopped his footsteps. He twisted his body in the unconventional way to change his footstep, then he shot himself backwards like a tight spring.
This move was very strange. No one understood how Han could directly change his body's angle while going full-speed ahead.
But they had no time to figure it out, because Han not only sprung back, his fingers also lightly touched the Lunar Mark and took out his Ares-class weapon, the Star-Strangling Boa!
"Kill him quick! He's being attacked by Star Soldier Ants!" Han shouted, "We are all screwed if we don't kill him!"
Star Soldier Ants?
Everyone's head became covered in cold sweat. This was a species of evil little ants. After being attracted by the source energy of espers, they would become insane and begin chewing the soldiers' body non-stop. Their final destination was to chew all the way to the soldier's zero-degree brain region, and eat that aggregation of special cells.
When hunchback Jensen handed out the Star Soldier Ants' poo, he said that this could prevent the attack of this terrifying creature, but how was he attacked instead? No one could understand this problem.
Shua~
Han flew right towards Jensen's chest with his triple-edged blade.
And at this moment, the ugly hunchback finally understood, all of this was Han's doing!
This cunning guy, don't know what means Han used but he actually baited the Star Soldier Ants to attack him first, and that was what Jensen originally had planned for Han. The black medicine pill he gave to Han was fake, and it not only won't prevent attacks but would attract Star Soldier Ants.
Ah!
Thinking about this, Jensen became enraged. Han's really too ruthless, returning a tooth for a tooth, letting the Star Soldier Ants chew him until he looked like an ugly demon! This absolutely couldn't be forgiven! Absolutely couldn't!
Jensen also charged towards Han, with his arms open, his chewed-up face becoming extremely ugly and hideous. Long and sharp nails began growing out from his fingers, and his eyes also instantly became black.
As a warlord-level killer, Jensen also had his own stunt, and that was his transformation.
Ka~
Jensen's waist suddenly didn't bend anymore and the hump on his back immediately exploded. From the hump, a dense mass of black spiders crawled out. At that point, Jensen was too enraged to think too much, so he insisted on fighting to the death with the Han who played him.
This scene was terrifying, an ugly hump with a face that was chewed up by ants suddenly transforming, and countless black spiders with short hair crawling out from the hump on his back.
Anyone that saw this scene would instinctively feel terrified. There were many soldiers and assassins in the world that mutated themselves in order to obtain higher combat strength, and Jensen was one of them.
Suddenly, Han swiftly changed his stature, turning from Jensen's front to his side, where the bald man Jacques and the other four assassins stood. They were scared of the Star Soldier Ants so they didn't rush up to help Jensen right away.
"Path of Gods!"
Rumble~
Han's edge suddenly soared high towards the sky, like the blade of god.
When the blade sliced down, it actually brought down white thunder with it!
This was the fourth path of the Void, the power of the Path of Gods!
The white light fell straight down from thirty thousand miles up high, seemingly capable of slaughtering all gods!
Those assassins were already terrified and stunned for a second by unexpected factors the mutated Jensen, Star Soldier Ants, and Han's movements. Even though they were assassins that received excellent training, they still couldn't wake up from this series of shocks.
The cunning Han, everyone thought he was targeting Jensen, but his actual target was actually those four other assassins that were relatively weaker among the assassin group.
Rumble~
When the white light dissipated, the people that were still alive saw a huge pit appeared on the ground, as if it was created by a giant god's hammer. The jungle disappeared, it turned into scorched earth. At the edge of that big smoking pit, Han single-handedly held his blade.
Th edge was held against the ground, and Han lowered his stature, like a poised beast, ready to charge again to strike his enemies.
In that huge pit created by the Path of Gods, there were three corpses. They were all shattered into pieces and burned.
It can be seen, when one that possessed the power of darkness used his ultimate Path of Gods technique, how terrifying the result was.
In front of Han, across the deep pit, was the already mutated Jensen and bald guy Jacques, and another assassin covered in blood whose name Han didn't know.
At the moment Han's Path of God landed, this assassin's reflex was very fast so he didn't die and escaped the attack range, but he was still severely injured. His expensive soft combat armor was torn open by the amazing power of the Path of Gods, with flesh turned outward exposing bones and leaking blood.
"Big brother." At the end of the team formation, little brother Big River whispered.
"Don't move." Big brother Big Mountain replied.
"Why?"
"Because Han is different from what we imagined. He seems to have many cards in his sleeves."
"Then what do we do?"
"Wait."
"Wait until when?"
"When Han reveals all his cards."
"When is he going to do that?"
"Soon, because the hunch back is already crazy. And that bald guy, look at his arm, it's slowly turning black. Maybe that's poison, or maybe it's also the power of darkness used by Han."
"So they won't be easy to deal with. In this battle, Han would for sure use all his strength. After he does that, we can then easily finish him off?"
"Yep, let's see what he's got!"

Chapter 264: Han's Army
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
The two brothers' conversation was done with source energy so Han couldn't hear it. He was also more focused on the three enemies in front of him: the bald guy, the hunch back, and a big bearded assassin who was pretty much half dead.
Jensen's mutation had completed. He was originally an ugly hunch back, but at least he had a humanoid look. But now, after the hump on his back opened up, he looked more like a monster that was waving its claws.
What's more surprising was how many spiders were hidden in that hump of his, they just kept coming out nonstop. There were over tens and thousands, and it invoked a really creepy atmosphere.
Since the battle already started, then there was nothing left to hide. The bald guy Jacques sneered, "So you found out about us a long time ago. How?"
Han lightly said, "Because you guys were being too sneaky on the way, constantly discussing something with the people nearby. But the one that really exposed you guys was still that hunchback. He actually gave me a pill that specifically attracts Star Soldier Ants. It would have been a nice plan if I knew nothing about pharmacology, but sorry, that's my area of study too. What's more coincidental is, my expertise is in the poison field as well."
Jacques hesitated, then gritted his teeth, "Even if you saw through the hunchback's conspiracy, how did you manage to put the fake pill back onto his body?"
Shua~
On top of Han's shoulder, a big tail squirrel appeared. That was Silver Fox, coming out of its invisibility.
Han sneered, "Forgot to tell you guys, I'm never alone. The reason I knew you guys were discussing something behind my back was this little thing. As for the fake pill, very simple. I placed some glue on that pill, then had this little thing calculate the steps of this hunchback guy and place it under his step."
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the hunchback's left foot, isn't there a black pill glued under his left boot? That's assuming this monster still has feet."
Creak~ Creak~
Silver Fox lied down on Han's shoulder, clamoring arrogantly, as if doing such a big favor for its master made him feel really proud.
Jacques's face color changed a little, he didn't have to check the hunchback's foot to know that Han was saying the truth. What Han also got right was, the hunchback was no longer hunchback, but became a monster that stands upright. Its black claws already stretched out of his battle boots. They no longer look like human feet, but more like talons tightly grasping the ground.
In their surrounding, those green eyes increased in number. Han and the others stopped moving and started an internal conflict, and that gave these cunning monsters a chance. They were quickly closing in on their prey, tightly trapping in these people.
"Why here?" The bald guy swallowed his spit and said, "You knew that we would exhaust ourselves from fighting each other, and then those evil creatures hidden inside the forest would all jump out. None of us will survive."
Han said as if it was not a big deal, "You for sure won't survive, but I will."
Bald Jacques became a little angry and growled, "You can survive? Kiss my ass! Judging by the current situation, I don't even have to do anything and the hunchback can finish you off by himself! Look at those poisonous spiders, over tens of thousands! These are the result of his life time of work! You won't be able to run!"
"Run? Who the f*ck said I'm going to run?!" Han suddenly shouted with a higher voice, "I already told you guys, I'm never by myself! You want to compete quantity? Very well, I will grant you your wish!"
Shua~
Han's fingers gently slid across Lunar Mark, and then two giant spiders appeared in front of Han!
"Seven-eyed Starry Spider!" The bald man Jacques suddenly hesitated and said.
These two Starry Spiders both had 7 eyes, and they were among the top tier existences among the Starry Spiders species.
Right after Jacques's words, they saw both Starry Spiders opened their mouth, and even more Starry Spiders began to be released from their giant mouth!
A hundred, a thousand! Ten thousand!
To compare army size, Han was never afraid of anyone!
So the hunchback knew how to breed spiders? Han had them too! And their innate strength was higher, and the quantity was larger!
The situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed!
Gulp*
Big River swallowed spittle. Such a high number of Starry Spiders also terrified him, and then he said to his big brother, "This should be all of Han's cards right? I didn't expect that he actually has such a rare species with him."
Big Mountain slightly frowned, "Maybe. This brat really likes hiding his cards. He has such a powerful army and yet he waited until now to take it out."
The bald man Jacques saw Han's spider army, he was first shocked and then immediately began roaring loudly, "You cunning despicable guy! You think you are great just because you have a bunch of spiders? Even if our fight ends in a lose-lose, you won't be able to escape those monsters that are hidden in the dark forest!"
Instead of saying anything else, Han touched his Lunar Mark again.
Then, one after another, all kinds of genetic beasts majestically appeared! Aside from Demon Claw and Ghost Claw, there are also genetic beast #4, #5, #6, #7, #8!
This was Han's second army, the genetic beast army!
Ever since learning the Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts and puppet technology, Han didn't rest at all. Fusion beast #1, #2, #3 were indeed sold by Han, but he still had the even stronger #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8!
After these beasts were summoned, those monsters with green eyes inside the dark forest immediately became restless. Beasts had the instinct to flee from predators, and Han's fusion beasts clearly had the superior combat strength that terrified and oppressed these monsters.
Jacques's face became dark green. Han really hid a really good handful of cards. 2 Seven-Eyed Starry spiders, 2 claw beasts, 5 fusion beasts, and plus the little clever thing Silver Fox, Han really did bring an army with him!
Han raised one arm towards the bald man, cold light burst out of his eyes as he said loudly, "Who said I'm going to be satisfied with a lose-lose situation? If I'm going to fight, then I will make sure it's a complete domination!"
"Go! Leave no survivors!"
Rumble~
There was no suspense in this battle, Han brought an army of mad beasts and completely rolled over the two and a half enemies in front of him.
During that fight, those monsters inside the dark forest wanted to find an opportunity to ambush Han.
But in the end, they were completely stunned by Han's unprecedently strong genetic beast army, and none of them dared to strike.
The Mountain and River brothers witnessed the entire process of how Han killed these assassins. They exchanged a look, and the meaning was obvious. Although Han was stronger than they expected, but now he had already exposed his hand so they felt that Han was no longer that scary.
In the warrior community there was a saying, that the hidden enemies were the most terrifying. But now, Han's strength was completely exposed, so all the Mountain River brothers had to do now was to find the perfect opportunity to strike.
Silver Fox very expertly collected all of the assassins' dimension rings. Han took a look and grabbed them. The victor gets the loot, it was the law of the jungle.
The two old man Lipton and Dini were of course completely shocked of Han's strength, Looking at the young Han made them speechless.
"Still not demonic enough, what else should I do?" Han muttered to himself. Just stomping a group of enemies was still not enough to Han.
All he wanted to do was reach the demonic state and unleash the monster inside his chest.
But it's still not enough. Han was still yet a soldier that embodied demonic power. He was just very tough, domineering, cunning, iron-blooded, and merciless. But he still had a long way to go before reaching the level of a demon.
Ten genetic beasts surrounded Han, and Han didn't have any intention of putting them back into the Lunar Mark after taking back the Starry Spiders.
"Let's leave this place. Outside of this black pine forest, it should be the test of the Fire Mountain." Han said to the two old soldiers.
Lipton nodded, and then looked over at the Mountain River brothers in the distance and asked, "What about these two? If we leave them, the monsters inside the forest probably won't let them off easy."
Han glanced at the Mountain and River brothers. They are indeed the killers hired by the big Zhu Clan of the All Gods Corporation, and their existence was on a completely different level in comparison to the scrubs hired by the four Beast Tamer clans.
The Mountain and River brothers were all hidden very well, not even Han noticed their true identities.
From a probabilistic point of view, what are the odds that 75% of the people on Han's team all wanted his life? Han thought the probability was too low, so he didn't think that these two were also contracted killers.
"I don't trust them, let them fend for themselves." Han coldly nodded.
Lipton and Dini nodded. After people get old, their hearts also get kinder. Although they didn't think that they should leave the brothers behind, but they were more reluctant to disobey Han who had just saved their lives.
Who knew that at this moment, the Mountain River brothers both got onto their knees before Han.
"Please do not leave us here!"
"If you leave us here, then we will be dead for sure!"
"Please save us! We will listen to whatever you say in the future!"
"We brothers still have our old mother to take care of back home, we can't die here!"
The Mountain River brothers cried with liquid running down their nose and eyes. Their acting was right on point, moving all their witnesses.
Han slightly hesitated, seeing that the two brothers could actually get on their knees and beg him to save them.
Lipton used source energy and transmitted a message to Han, "Han, maybe just consider it."
Han knew what Lipton meant. Normal soldiers won't get on their knees to someone, that's just too embarrassing.
"Follow us at a distance, don't approach within 100 steps of us." Han said to the Mountain River brothers.
These two brothers with such amazing acting skills immediately stood up happily, thanking Han for agreeing to protect them.
The team began advancing again. After the 7 assassins were killed, this team became quieter.
The Mountain River brothers humbly followed at the end of the team formation, exchanging eyes from time to time.
Han still underestimated these two people. Normal soldiers indeed wouldn't grovel until they were kneeling before other people, but the Mountain River brothers were obviously not normal soldiers.

Chapter 265: The territory of fire

When Han was passing through the Black forest, his mind seemed to be preoccupied with something.
The Path of Demon technique was still not complete. Han felt like he was heartless enough, but for some reason he still has not became a demon. It started nagging at him from the back of his mind.
They were lucky on their way. The monsters hidden deep in the black pine forest did not appear. They were wary of Han and his army of genetic beasts, choosing to avoid a head-on confliction with Han.
Han, together with the two old warriors, were walking at the front of the team while the Big River and Big Mountain brothers followed quietly behind. They kept silent, seeming like they had decided to completely follow Han's orders.
"Look! We have finally reached the volcano." The tall guy Lipton said while pointing towards the front.
There was a huge black mountain, with a red glow flickering at the summit. That was the destination of the Wind Forest Volcano quest.
"Well, we should have our quest completed once we get there?" Han asked curiously.
Old man Dini replied. "The Wind Forest Volcano quest was the quest that was most likely to be assigned among all quests for Star Lord City to promote a Star Lord, so it has been researched into detail by numerous predecessors. In a nutshell, the quest is to pass through the sandstorm, across the forest, climb the huge mountain, go in to the sea of fire, and slay the fire drake.
"So it is still far from completion, we are only seeing the final battlefield."
Han was confused. "What kind of thing is that fire drake?"
"A godly-beast." Lipton said in a deep voice. "Dragons are, through eternity, the strongest of the universe. In the universe we live in, the strongest being is not any humanoid race, but instead the dragons. As for drakes, it is a species inferior to dragon, but still it shares some characteristics with them since they are consanguinities."
"Even though the fire drake is one of the weaker ones among all drakes, after all it is still a drake. Strong and hard to deal with."
Dini nodded, "But once we enter into the mountain, whether to proceed or to abort is up to us. If we find the fire drake too strong to be slain, we can go straight back to Star Lord City."
Han frowned, "Would we lose our chance to be promoted to a Star Lord once we go back?"
Lipton shook his head, "Not necessarily. Go down the mountain and we shall see a magical world of fire due to the special climate and energy conditions of this place. There lives many strange species. It is said that if we could collect certain strange species or slay some weird creature then we should get a chance to qualify for the promotion."
"In fact, not many teams chose to slay the drake. Most people were promoted to Star Lord because they had done something right in the territory of fire."
Han thought for a moment and said, "According to what you just said, we still have a chance to complete the promotion even if we don't slay the drake, so if we are to slay the drake successfully, doesn't it mean that we are guaranteed to get the title of Star Lord?"
Dini was shocked, he whispered, "It should be, but it is difficult to do that. We'd better play by ear, don't be too greedy."
Before the sound of Dini's voice died away, the older one of the two brothers at the back, Big Mountain, said, "I can explain the rules of the Wind Forest Volcano quest to you in detail. The person who slays the drake is sure to be promoted, but not every participant of slaying the drake could be qualified for the promotion."
"The dark net will automatically calculate the numbers and promote the warrior with the highest damage index, the warrior who landed the fatal hit, and also the warrior with the highest total scouting, assistance, and eliminating points."
"That means, if we choose to slay the drake, we will have at least three promotion places."
Han turned back and looked at the guy with the mustache named Big Mountain, "I see, so what would be the odds of getting a promotion if we do not slay the drake?"
Big Mountain said in his low voice, "Hard to say, it should be pure luck if we do not slay the drake."
Han nodded, "Hum, I see."
After a little while, Han was leading the team without saying a thing. The younger brother Big River opened his mouth and asked his older brother Big Mountain. "Will Han choose to slay the drake?"
Big Mountain smiled, "He doesn't have to choose, he can only face the dreadful fire drake since we are here."
Big River was puzzled at first, but then gave a knowing smile.
A few hours later, at the peak of the mountain, Han looked into the mountain gap. There was no magma beneath the mountain gap, the magical red light was emitted by a pink rock, deep in the mountain gap. There stood an arch marking the entrance to the inside of the mountain.
"Let's go." Han waved his hand and said.
The team composition stayed the same, with Silver Fox leading the way, the other genetic beasts following Han and the two old warriors closely, and the brothers at the far end.
Entering the strange pink stone forest, Han reached out and touched the mysterious pink stones. They were burning hot. It seemed like that there was something burning inside those rocks, as the light jumped and flickered.
"What a strange place." Han shook his head and said to himself.
As the team went underneath the archway made of stone, they saw a few words and a monster engraved into the structure. The words read as follow.
"Whoever wakes the monster will be punished by the raging flames."
Han frowned. 'This is some kind of warning for the warriors coming here. I think it's just saying to not mess with the fire drake, or we will be in danger."
Han said to himself, "What's the point of coming all this far If we cannot get a promotion?"
Lipton and Dini did not respond. It seemed like Han was determined to take the legendary fire drake on in a fight. Being confident was not a bad thing, it was just that they cannot stop worrying for Han. After all, the fire drake was one of the top godly beast existing in this universe.
The tunnel came right after the arch. The rock walls on both sides were red as flame, and boiling hot.
They passed through the tunnel and were greeted with a view of a vast sea of fire corallines.
This kind of magical coralline does not live in the ocean but rather on the earth, subsisting on absorbing heat.
The red corallines were flickering slightly, all in strange shapes, looking just like a cluster of trees.
Numerous extremely tiny wriggling worms could be observed if close enough,
"Don't touch the fire corallines!"
Han was a man of great curiosity. He was very curious about the fire coral and wanted to take a part off from it to better examine, but he was stopped by Big Mountain far away.
"These fire corals are scary creatures, they can consume our energy. Let's just pass through here without touching anything." Big Mountain said hurriedly, acting like he really cared about Han.
Han was not convinced, he took out a piece of a Star Ape's finger and threw it towards the fire corallines.
Shabu~
Suddenly, that piece of well-kept Star Ape finger perished like a branch dying away, and then it shattered.
Han frowned slightly, "How could there be such evil worms living in the world, thanks for reminding me."
After that, Han took out a dimension ring that he captured before, cleared up the stuffs inside, and then he cut off a few large fire coralline pieces and put that into the dimension ring, altogether with the fire corals attached to the fire corallines.
"The fire coral are slow movers, I will not be in danger if I don't touch them." Han said to himself.
Big Mountain did not expect that in the end, Han still decided to mess with the fire corallines. He frowned, "The fire corallines are extremely fragile, once they leave their habitat and reach the vacuum environment, they will die immediately."
Han did not care, "That's fine, their corpses are still useful, at least I can examine them closely."
Going through the forest of corallines, there came another arch. The words engraved on it were even more dreadful, indicating that Han's team is even closer to death.
They continued proceeding down the wandering tunnel, there were many fire bamboo shoots growing on the second level, which were excellent herbs boosting the splitting and reorganization of cells. Han collected a great deal of them for future use.
All the way down, for every single arch they passed, there were words engraved on the arch by someone. The tone became more dreadful as they went down.
In the meanwhile, lots of rare and precious things could be found in the territory of fire. Fire corallines, fire bamboo shoots and fire gems, all of them were plants or creatures with a property of fire. Han added loads to his collection.
Finally, Han and this team reached the last arch. There were only four words engraved on that arch and nothing else, 'Territory of Fire Devil'. There was not even a single word telling them the danger, maybe because the atmosphere was already so foreboding.
Lipton and Dini were so nervous that their hearts were in their mouths. However, the Big Mountain and Big River brothers gave each other a look of excitement.

Chapter 266: Striving of the Old Warriors
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Right across the arch was the place where the fire drake rested.
No trace of the fire drake could be seen, only a vast sea of fiery desert. Even the temperature went extremely low, to the point where Han's breath turned white as it left his mouth.
That was weird, the temperature was boiling hot all along the way. They needed to rely on the protection from the combat suit to keep themselves from burning, how come the temperature dropped this much once they arrived there?
When Han was scratching his head, Big Mountain suddenly pointed at the far end of the red desert and said, "Look, there is a white flower blooming in the middle of the desert."
Han looked into the direction pointed by Big Mountain. There really was a pretty little flower right in the middle of the red desert. It was white in color, with six petals.
Except for that white flower, the huge underground desert was empty.
"Eye of Darkness!"
Han said in his mind and used his Eye of Darkness to observe the surrounding environment. He found that there was nothing other than sand and rock. No signs of life could be observed, except for that strange white little flower blooming right in the middle of the desert, with huge rhizomes underneath.
Han's eye of darkness could see that the roots of the flower went hundreds of kilometers beneath the ground. This made Han very curious, how could a little flower like that grow huge roots? That was truly unusual.
Han walked towards the flower with curiosity, Lipton and Dini followed after a distance, however, the Big Mountain and Big River brothers did not move at all. They exchanged crafty glances with each other.
Han came up to the white little flower and examined it carefully, the white flower was growing on a wooden stake. The wooden stake went extremely deep until the earth's core where even Han's eye of darkness could not see.
Han kept his body down, touched his chin, and then he reached out his hand to touch that white flower.
Shabu~
Right at the moment when Han's fingertip made contact with that white little flower, Han felt like his body was frozen, unable to make a single move.
A force of evil captured Han's body. This was a type of strong spiritual control. Han felt like there was a pair of huge ferocious snake eyes staring at him from the sky above, the oval-shaped pupil passed on a chilly thrill.
CLAP~CLAP~
Right at that moment, Big River suddenly started applauding. He then smiled and said, "The ignorant person sure fears nothing, how dare you even touch the seal of the fire drake? Let me just be honest with you, the fire drake underneath the ground now is aware of your existence."
Big Mountain continued, "Right, this kind of seal is called the seal of wood. Usually the teams wishing to slay the drake will gather around the desert and wait for the call, preparing themselves and getting the strongest ones among them to break the seal, thereby releasing the fire drake."
"You really do know nothing, same as those two old bastards, breaking the seal without any preparations."
"Don't ask how do we know this. Back then, we brothers were honored star lord titles for slaying the drake in the wind forest volcano. You can't move right now, huh? That is because the spiritual power of the fire drake is too strong. You are being drawn into it like a whirlpool."
"Look at your genetic beasts, they are also drawn to the spiritual whirlpool created by the fire drake. The sealed fire drake was of enormous spiritual power, it is literally invincible once released from the seal prison. You are bringing about your own death."
Two lines of cold sweat ran down Han's forehead. He really was suppressed by a kind of spiritual pressure; a pair of malicious eyes were staring at him, making him unable to move.
Silver Fox,Demon Claw,Ghost Claw,along with the five fusion beasts and also the two Seven-eyed Starry Spiders, were not able to make a move either. Pain could be seen from their postures. Because they were too close to Han, when the spiritual power of the fire drake appeared, whey could not escape the effect.
Kneak~
Big Mountain pulled his weapon, it was a sky-taking blade, the blade point pointed right at the sky, looking just like a silver cloud.
Big River said, "Let me tell you the truth, we brothers have the same family name of Lovran, I am River Lovran, and my brother is Mountain Lovran.
Lipton was suddenly shocked, and then he frowned, "Lovran? You are the descendants of the abandoned god?"
Because Lipton and Dini kept a distance with Han, they happened to be located at the outer circle of the fire drake's spiritual circle, and were not affected.
River Lovran nodded slightly, "I didn't realize that you old bastards actually have quite some knowledge. Our ancestor was indeed one of the gods. Later on, because our ancestor cannot get along with the other gods, we thereby lost the right to inherit the godly status."
Lipton said grimly, "Cannot get along with the other gods? Why not tell them the truth? Who the hell on earth doesn't know that your Lovran family was disowned by the gods because your family did something wrong."
"Shut up!" Mountain Lovran shouted loudly. Lipton exposing the scandal of his family made him extremely angry, even his face was distorted.
Mountain Lovran approached Han step by step. The weapon in his hand was gleaming. In the meanwhile, his younger brother with the temperament of a scholar, acted like he had nothing to do with it, not going to give his older brother a helping hand.
"Since you know quite a bit about our Lovran family, then you should know what our ability is." Mountain Lovran said grimly.
"It is spiritual control." Lipton said in his deep voice.
"You are right. The spiritual power of the fire drake could seal Han's spirit, but not mine! I could easily go into the fire drake's spiritual territory and then kill Han and every single one of his beasts." Mountain Lovran said grimly.
"Damn it." Han thought to himself. He wanted to fight back, but was nailed onto the ground by that god-damn fire drake, unable to move at all.
Mountain Lovran was getting closer and closer, he slowly raised the weird blade held in his hand.
Suddenly~
Lipton heaved a long sign and said in his deep voice, "Stop."
Mountain Lovran gave Lipton a glimpse of disdain, "Old bastard, have you been living for too long?" he snorted.
Lipton said calmly, "Who would want to die if they could choose to live? However, I cannot make myself just stand here watching you kill Han. Instead, I will bet on my abilities."
Ha ha ha ha~
Mountain Lovran let loose a crazy laugh. He gestured towards Lipton, and suddenly that tall and thin old man was knocked up a few meters above the ground. That was the power of spiritual control, even without a weapon, Lovran could still defeat the opponent just with his spiritual power.
"Is that all you are capable of? Old bastard, just give up already!" Lovran did not even look at Lipton, continuing to approach Han.
Boom~
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed
A stream of strong power came out right from the place where Lipton fell, and the skinny old man stood up again. This time, fire could be seen in his eyes, his aged skin was flaring with a bleak light.
"Burning your lifeforce!? Since you are so eager to die, let me satisfy your wish." Mountain Lovran was shocked but he still taunted loudly.
As his voice died away, Mountain Lovran rushed towards Lipton. At that critical moment however, Montain Lovran suddenly felt a creepy breeze come from his back. The short old man Dini was rushing towards him without him noticing.
"I have been fighting for my life, how could I get bullied by you? Today, only one of us will live!"
"We still have spirit even if we are old! We're still fighters!"
Han wanted to stop Lipton and Dini, he knew that the espers were not like ordinary people. When they were young, they could be really strong, and they gad a long-life span.
However, once a glorious esper started the process of aging, their capabilities would regress quickly. Within just a few years, their combat power would decline substantially, and even their face would grow old at a pace that their family could hardly recognize.
Everything comes at a price, the rapid aging process is the espers' fate, unless they could keep becoming stronger and reaching higher levels.
Otherwise, when an esper loses his potential, unable to move forward, they will have to face the nightmare of the rapid aging process. They will have to pay for the glory of the first half of their lives.
As of that time, Lipton and Dini were suffering from the torture of fate. Their combat power could not even reach one third of what they used to have when they were young. Whenever they enter into a combat, they could only burn their little remaining life in exchange for the power they once have.
In the blink of an eye, Lipton and Dini started fighting Mountain Lovran. River Lovran, the younger brother with a gentle and quiet temperant, seemed not worried at all, just watching what was happening.
"Protect Han!"
"We can't always bet on Han, let's bet on ourselves this time, kill him!"
After all, Lipton and Dini were too old. They had good intentions, to thank Han, they were willing to pay the price of their own lives to protect Han.
Unfortunately, they did not have the capability to protect anyone.
Even when they were young, and even when they were at the time of their highest combat power, they could not beat Lovran, not to mention at the moment they were just two old men.
"Just because we are old doesn't mean we are fair game." Lipton gasped, "Han, I really do appreciate your care along the way, but all in all I am still a warrior. I will protect my own pride."
"Today, I will protect you, and my remaining dignity, even at the risk of my life."
"Come on! Unique skill! The god of the north wind!"

Chapter 267: The Path of Demon! Switch on!
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Lipton went all in with his unique skill! The god of the north wind!
The old man's body enlarged rapidly, and then broke down into a black screaming tornado, dashing towards Mountain Lovran.
As a man with a wind-type superpower, that was Lipton's last resort. He consumed the remainder of his life and infused it into this powerful attack. The black tornado was like a knife, crushing everything in its path.
Han was shocked by this heroic scene. He did not realize before that a warrior, a senile and even feeble one at that, could exert such a powerful attack when he dared to risk his life.
What was his motivation behind it?
It was because Lipton wanted to keep his only remaining dignity as a warrior. Being an old warrior was pathetic. Even though he had fought for his entire life, due to his lack of talent, he still became old and fell to this state.
Lipton did not want his glorious yet miserable life to be forgotten, so he chose to lay down his life in the battlefield, leaving the world forever but with glory and pride, accepting the fate of a warrior with pleasure.
"Break!"
In the midst of the tornado, Mountain Lovran shouted out loudly. A surge of formidable spiritual power broke out from the middle of the tornado, turning the wind-type attack infused with Lipton's life into nothing.
Shabu~
A fainting white light rose out from Lipton's body. Han knew, that was Lipton's soul. True warriors had souls and as the warrior's body turn into dust, their souls would remain, going to some undiscovered places in the universe.
"Old bastard, how dare you even try to stop me? Impossible!"
"You want to die with glory, right? But I'm not going to do as you wish!"
Mountain Lovran reached out his hand towards the fading white light and crushed it. The white light suddenly dissipated, falling from the air like white sand.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Dini screamed, like he was about to explode.
Han was shocked initially. Shortly after, he realized that physical attacks could not pose any threat to souls, which were pure energy without any substance. However, the Lovran brothers were not normal espers. They possess rare psychic powers.
As a result, they can use their abilities to demolish Lipton's soul!
That was cruel!
That was so cruel of him!
Lipton died, and now even his soul could not rest in peace?
Han felt like he was about to blow up, there could not be anything more vicious than that. How could they not even let go of his soul? Lovran brothers, it was nicely done. You sure made sure it was nicely done!
"You must die!"
Dini stared at Mountain Lovran, and dashed to him desperately.
Not every warrior was able to transform their life into a last powerful attack. Dini was not one of them, so he suddenly rushed to Mountain Lovran and tightly clasped onto one of Mountain Lovran's legs. Then, this old man's body started becoming brighter and brighter.
Gengci~
Gengci~
Mountain Lovran's blade slashed Dini's back again and again, but Dini just would not let go of his hands.
"Farewell." The short old man Dini said to Han with a bitter smile on his face.
Kaboom~
Dini self-detonated his zero-degree brain field. His life was turned into an enormous explosion.
Han could feel the apology that Dini wished to express before his death. Han provided protection for them, but they were incapable of providing any help when Han needed it the most. For a warrior, how pathetic would it be?
Both Dini and Lipton were dead! Han felt like there was something going on in his mind… he felt that his anger was turning into some kind of unprecedented power. He has awakening the shadow sleeping in his body.
Yes indeed, anger was a source of enormous power. If one does not have enough power, it might just be that he does not have enough anger built up in his mind yet.
"Brother, you were really in a tight corner being plotted against by those two old bastards." Said River Lovran slowly on the side, after witnessing his older brother being attacked by a deadly unique skill and blasted by the enormous explosion.
Mountain Lovran really was in a difficult position. He sure had very strong spiritual powers, but Lipton and Dini were even risking their lives! No matter how strong Mountain Lovran's spiritual power was, he could not deal with some enemies that were willing to give up their lives.
However, Mountain Lovran was of a higher level and his combat power was really strong. The two old warriors only managed to leave some bruises on Mountain Lovran in exchange for their lives!
River Lovran laid his cold gaze on his older brother," Just kill Han, and then we shall go back and report to young master Zhu. I'm a little bit tired."
Once hearing that his younger brother was tired, Mountain Lovran panicked, and even forgot the troubles brought to him by Lipton and Dini, he said in his deep voice, "You should never fall asleep, at least not before we get back, you must control your emotions."
River Lovran nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do, I can control myself."
"Sure, it's good that you can control yourself." Mountain Lovran nodded, then he turned around and rushed straight to Han without any hesitation. It seemed like that the exhaustion of his younger brother mattered much more to him than Han's life.
Suddenly, Mountain Lovran was stunned, because he heard Han's voice.
"You brothers sure did a good job." Han opened his mouth and said with a furious voice.
Mountain Lovran could not believe that Han managed to talk! Did he really escape from the spiritual oppression of the fire drake?
That fire drake was a godly-beast!
Looking closer, Mountain Lovran found that a black mist surrounded Han's body. He was trembling, obviously not out of fear, but anger.
Endless anger!
Lipton and Dini were both warriors, warriors just like Han. How come they were doomed to that fate after they became old? This was a sad realization for Han.
However, the Path of Demon required sadness and sorrow to proceed.
Merely anger was far from enough. Han also needed to experience sorrow and desperation!
By undergoing all of these emotions together, a man could be dragged in to the Path of Demon, releasing the demon hiding in his heart completely!
Han stood up!
As Han's demon was released, he unexpectedly withstood the fire drake's spiritual suppression and gradually stood up!
"Damn it! You're god-damn psychotic!" River Lovran looked over at Han and suddenly cursed out loud.
That was because Han was holding a flower in his hand, a very tender and beautiful little white flower.
That was the seal of the fire drake. The demon inside Han's mind acted like crazy, cutting open the seal of the fire drake regardless! Mountain Lovran almost bristled up in anger.
"Die!"
"All of you!"
"All of you will die!" Han growled, approaching Mountain Lovran step by step.
At that moment, Mountain Lovran was facing multiple enemies. It was not only Han he would be dealing with. Once the seal has been broken, the fire drake would appear, and a mighty battle would soon start!
Even River Lovran frowned. From the beginning, he had been unconcerned about everything but this was the first time he took something seriously.
Han did not care about what the Lovran brothers were thinking. At that moment, the demon brought out of him just wanted to kill both of the Lovran brothers.
The red sands started to shift rapidly and Mountain Lovran retreated quickly. The Lovran brothers had slayed the fire drake before, and because of that they knew the power of the fire drake, so they were more cautious.
Han, however, lowered his head. With his eyes red as blood, he approached the Lovran brothers step by step, his body trembling because of anger.
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed furiously!
A huge head came out from the red desert!
The fire drake appeared!
He popped his head out of the desert where he rested in, and then unleashed a raging roar at the Lovran brothers.
Awwwwwww~
At the same time, Han jumped into the middle of the air and shoved his fist towards the extremely arrogant fire drake; one of the most powerful vicious creatures in the entire universe.
The Lovran brothers were both stunned.
Han's punch went straight onto the fire drake's head!
The punch smashed back the head of the extremely vicious, arrogant fire drake; the head of the so-called strongest godly-beast.
Kaboom!
"Whoever blocks my way shall die!" Han yelled unscrupulously.
What is the Path of the Demon?
This is it!
The person who takes the path of gods kills the gods.
The person who takes the path of demon kills the gods and slaughters the demons!

Chapter 268: Han vs. Fire Drake
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Rumble~
Han's iron fists did not hesitate to land on the head of the fire drake, and he pounded its huge black head into the ground.
"Those that cross me shall die!" Han shouted. He didn't take notice nor care about the owner of this huge head, which was the famous universe-level furious Fire Drake.
As for the Lovran brothers, they were completely shocked by Han's madness. How much courage would it take to just punch the Fire Drake's head?
AaOooaAOOoooooo~
Sure enough, the angry roar reached into the sky, the Fire Drake became extremely angry. It was originally sleeping underground and noticed some movement above him. Then, it just stuck out its head wanting to check it out, and was a punched right in the head back into the ground! What the f*ck is this?
Han's punch was extremely powerful due to manipulating the power of darkness. The fire drake's head became swollen, and it was roaring in pain with its eyes bloodshot.
Who would've thought, the Fire Drake's rage actually would also stir up Lovran River's fighting spirit. The person who had always been very gentle suddenly blatantly bursted with fierce light shining out of his eyes, taking a step forward, with his arms tight and blue veins exposed on his forehead.
Just at that moment, Lovran River turned from an elegant young man into a god of wrath!
"Do not become enraged!" Lovran Mountain grabbed onto his brother from behind and shouted, "Han angered the Fire Drake, he's not going to live! Let's go! Let's leave this place!"
Lovran Mountain seemed to be really scared of his brother losing control of his emotions, and after desperately shouting, Lovran River's eyes finally gained a trace of consciousness. He tired his best to suppress his rage and was then dragged by Lovran Mountain out of the underground fire realm.
Han saw what they were doing, he obviously didn't want his enemies to flee, but at the moment, the enraged Fire Drake blocked his path.
That was a ferocious monster that seemed to be a cross between a snake and a dragon. There was a short horn on top of its head, its two eyes were like a snake's with vertical oval pupils, and sharp white fangs.
The Fire Drake had a powerful defense, and its black scales started burning from its rage, gradually becoming crimson red with smokes rising out of it.
The Fire Drake's two giant eyes were locked onto Han, but Han also used the same fierce look and stared back!
At the next second, Han even dared to launch another attack at the universe-level beast that was already furious!
Ka~
The automatic drug kit ejected three of the most powerful battle-enhance drug Fusion, and Han swallowed them all!
"Path of Demon!"
Path of Demon, capable of slaying both gods and demons, with the brutality of destroying heaven and earth!
Han's whole body exuded black gas. That was the power of the devil that was given birth from Han's extremely angry and sentimental emotions!
At the same time, Demon Claw, Ghost Claw, Silver Fox, and the fusion beast army under Han's command were all freed and joined the battle with Han against Fire Drake.
The universe-level vicious beast Fire Drake only had powerful spiritual pressure during its sleep, but after it awakens, this type of spiritual oppression would weaken as its energy transforms into a powerful combat strength. Thus, the Demon Claw and the others finally freed themselves from their mentally repressed state.
AaOooaAOOoooooo ~
Han with his body taken over by the devil had no thoughts of backing off at the moment. Even if the one in his way was an universe-level furious beast, so what? Once the demon takes over, there's no backing off!
Rumble~
The fusion beast army was also affected by Han's battle spirit. Pets always resembled their owners. The Demon Claw and the others followed Han. They of course learned Han's way of fighting. Now that Han became so devil-like, they obviously would take out their biggest courage and fight.
It was not an attack, but a siege!
The two seven-eyed Starry Spiders began releasing large amounts of Starry Spiders. Although these spiders' level were really low, but they won in numbers. Even if it was an weak ant, when there's tons of them all charging up and biting, they can still play a surprising effect.
The Fire Drake was completely driven mad by Han and his little devils!
It threw the Ghost Claw out with one claw and dealt severe damage to it, but after a blink of an eye, the limping Ghost Claw appeared on the battlefield again and continued to bite and scratch it.
"Path of God!"
Han leaped high into the air and incited thunder to attack.
Rumble~
A white light fell onto Fire Drake's head, and Han flew past the Fire Drake's body.
"Thunder Fire!"
Papapapapa~
Red flying bugs were thrown out of Han's hands and stuck themselves onto the Fire Drake's body like suckling insects. Then, it was a series of powerful explosions!
Rumble~
Rumble~
The reason humans were more advanced than regular animals was that humans were good at using tools, and Han was the perfect example. He brought many combat tools with him, and just when the enemies weren't paying attention, he could make them pay the price.
Aoao~
The Fire Drake suddenly stood its body up and let out a roar. Its body turned fire red and it revealed its giant sharp fangs.
This thing was about to use a fire attack! Its body stored endless amounts of fire, enough to turn the world into flames.
Ka~
The Fire Drake wanted to spray out fire, but suddenly noticed that its throat was blocked.
Lowering its head to check, it found that Han had used his powerful combat-type plant, Sky-King Vine!
At this moment, the insanely-growing plant was in the process of stuffing its lush branches into the Fire Drake's mouth, blocking the brewing fire inside the Fire Drake's body!
Rumble~
The crimson red flame was still unleashed. Fire countered wood, and although the Sky King Vine could temporarily block the flame, it was soon consumed.
The flame shot out by Fire Drake was terrifying. Due to its high temperature, the color of the flame was a little black, and the quantity was also incredible. In the blink of an eye, the Fire Drake soon turned the three hundred radius area around it into scorched earth. Han and the others didn't even have a place to run!
Han had a double layer of protection and the genetic beasts had powerful cell-division speed. They wouldn't be completely burned to death from the flame, but it still hindered their fighting strength.
At this moment, Han and the others had tried their best, and they were barely in a stalemate with Fire Drake. If their combat strength decreases due to the fire's interference, then the situation would become much worse!
The Fire Drake is strong for two reasons. First, it had inverse scales that guns and blades couldn't penetrate. Secondly, it could turn the battlefield into scorched earth!
In the flaming battlefield, all opponents' combat strength would suffer or they may even be burned to death, but the Fire Drake could become stronger from absorbing the energy of the flame!
What to do?
What should I do?!
The Demon Claw and the others were obviously trying their best, but the scales on the Fire Drake were way too tough. It's simply an impossible mission to fatally damage the Fire Drake from outside.
Han gritted his teeth, under the domination of the devil spirit, he madly leapt into the air and jumped into the Fire Drake's mouth!
That was a result no one expected, including the Fire Drake itself, because the temperature of the flame that it was brewing was enough to melt alloy, so Han was basically jumping into volcanic magma!
But Han couldn't afford to think that much. At that moment, he knew it was the only option!
The moment Fire Drake turns the surrounding area completely into scorched earth, the situation would only become worse! So, he must take the greatest risk to prevent this damn Fire Drake from shooting out fire!
Flame!
Path of Demon!
Rumble~
Just at that moment Han flew into the Fire Drake's mouth, flame began coming out at the same time! Since the Fire Drake was going to shoot out fire, it wasn't going to close it mouth, which left Han the only chance! To deliver a fatal strike from its vulnerable inside!
Kacha~
Black lightning flashed once and disappeared. Han's Path of Demon!
The Path of God and Demon, were like the positive and negative sides of things.
When Han uses Path of God, white light falls to the ground, and the thunder can shock miles!
But when Han uses Path of Demon, the black shadow flashes, just like a man-made black hole, tearing everything around it apart.
Rumble~
Han was shot out along with the flame from the Fire Drake. The fire surrounded Han, pushing him out a few hundred meters and then heavily landing him in the red desert.
Shua~
Han adjusted his body in the mid air, then landed with one knee down on the desert. His whole body had black smoke coming out, exuding a thick burnt scent.
But that Fire Drake, it was madly shooting fire towards the sky, and its body then gradually fell down. There was an opening on its forehead, as if someone opened a window.
That was caused by Han.
When the Fire Drake's flame almost burned Han to death, Han also used his Path of Demon and inflicted a deep cut inside the Fire Drake's head.

Chapter 269: The Real Body of the Fire Drake
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
Kaboom~
As the huge monster fire drake crashed down, Silver fox, Demon claw, and the fellow genetic beasts rushed to Han, all with a look of concern on their faces. The silly Silver fox saw smoke rising from Han's body so he puffed out his cheeks and blew out towards Han's face to try to cool him down.
"I'm fine." Han stood up and pressed the button to put away his helmet. Shabu~, after a short and quick sound, the concealed helmet went back into his combat uniform automatically.
Han's body was burnt red. The moment that he made contact with the flame sprayed by the fire drake, he felt excruciating heat, but fortunately because he was protected from the energy coating, and the short contact time, he just felt a wave of chest pain, which was not a big deal.
At the moment that Han killed the fire drake, the Lovran brothers also came down to the black mountain.
"Don't be angry, just don't be angry." said Mountain Lovran in a deep voice as he nervously pressed on his brother's shoulder.
River Lovran, on the other hand, was breathing heavily, trying to suppress his manic mind.
Mountain Lovran said, "Just leave Han to fight with the fire drake. even though Han is no match for the fire drake, he will definitely hurt the fire drake to some extent. Once the fire drake has killed Han, we shall continue and slay the fire drake or we could just leave, either is a good choice."
"After all our mission is just to make sure Han dies, it would be the same even if it is the fire drake who kills him."
River Lovran nodded and said to his older brother, "I'm fine now. Back a while ago, I was really close to blowing up."
Mountain Lovran said, "Don't get easily enraged, you know the reason why. It seems like you will still have to practice alone when we get back to better discipline yourself"
"Sure." River Lovran nodded. "Don't worry, some day I will be able to control the demon within my mind."
As they were talking, suddenly, the huge black mountain wobbled furiously, a red glow emanated out right from the summit, rushing into the distant horizon.
"Is that Han?"
"He's not dead yet?"
"He made the fire drake show his real body!"
The Lovran brothers had a few words with each other. River Lovran sneered and then said, "Han is such a reckless guy, how could the fire drake; a universe-level beast be so easy to deal with. He doesn't even know the real power of the fire drake lies in its ability of transfiguration! He is the incarnation of the infernal flame. The fire drake shows it real dreadful form after he evolves and takes off any substance."
Mountain Lovran nodded, "You are right. Han's got quite some skills that he could make the fire drake transform, but after that, he's definitely dead."
Shabu~
Han took out the three-edged blade, stood up. He was going to cut off the fire drake's head, which after all, was raw material coming from a universe-level beast. He had not obtained any raw material this precious before, so he could definitely build some more powerful genetic beasts out of this.
Suddenly~
Just after Han took his first step, a sharp howl reached his ear. It was not from the dead fire drake nor from the ghost claw or some other genetic beasts, but Han's dimension ring!
Han was shocked. His eyes squinted with suspicion.
He remembered that sound clearly, that was from the black egg!
Speaking of which, as Han entered the path of warrior for quite some time he has collected numerous precious treasures, but when it came to the most unusual one it was still this black egg.
The black egg itself was really nothing much, the key was the extremely mysterious creature inside the egg.
At first, the little monster living inside this black egg wanted to break out from the shell. It absorbed Han's energy and also any other possible source of energy to eat.
After that, Han acquired the godly-weapon Star-Strangling Boa by coincidence. He threatened the black egg with the godly-weapon and even absorbed a portion of the energy of the mysterious creature living in the black egg.
Since then, the mystery creature inside the egg seemed to be angry with Han and refused to pay any attention to him anymore, so it was like he simply started hibernating.
Han did not expect the mystery creature inside the black egg to provide him much help in the first place. Han was carrying him around just out of curiosity, so Han just let the mysterious creature take his rest, not intending to force him to come out.
Today, however, after Han slayed the fire drake, it was like the mysterious creature inside the black egg came back alive again. He issued a severe warning. Han could also hear a desire and itch to try, seeming like the dead fire drake inspired the curiosity and fighting will of the creature inside the black egg.
"How come this mysterious creature became so emotional? Could it be that he sensed a threat!?" Han was suddenly shocked, he thought to himself.
It was just at that moment, the atmosphere changed!
Some astonishing change happened on the dead body of the fire drake!
The black scales all over the fire drake's body suddenly started to shed, revealing the red cellular tissue underneath.
It was only a few seconds after that the fire drake stood up again. It made a furious howling sound, just like a proclamation of his own return!
He was no longer a long snake-like black beast but instead an all-red fire dragon!
Shabu~
Han took all the genetic beasts back into the Lunar Mark, because the underground world was spewing infernal flames everywhere. It was getting hotter and hotter, and silver fox and the fellow genetic beasts did not have the energy coating protection which Han had, so if they were to stay in the battlefield for any longer, they would soon get burnt.
Soon enough, even the red desert started to burn. The sands flickered red light, just like burning coals.
The territory of fire!
That was the true appearance of the territory of fire!
Even under the double protection from both the combat uniform and the energy coating, Han still felt that it was difficult to open his eyes. The hair all over his body was about to burn.
How to arrange an attack when confronted with a monster composed of flame? Was it even possible to kill such a monster?
When Han was busy trying to figure out a way to slay the fire drake, however, the fire drake started its attack!
After his transformation, the fire drake stopped spitting fire, since he was the strongest flame himself!
The fire drake turned its claw towards Han, Han lifted his Star-Strangling Boa to block the attack.
Kaboom~
With a tremendous sound, Han was knocked up into the middle of the air, the enormous impact force almost knocked the Star-Strangling Boa out of Han's hand.
When the fire drake was getting close to Han, Han felt like he was placed in a huge steel furnace. Even the godly-weapon Star-Strangling Boa was belching black smoke. Han felt painfully burnt from top to bottom even under the double protection from his armor.
The combat was becoming more and more preferable to the fire drake. After his transformation, Han suddenly lost the help from the genetic beast army. Even the demon claw, the strongest among them; could not resist such high temperature. Of course they were loyal to Han, and they were willing to fight for him, but under that situation, letting them fight was no different than sending them to death! Han could not let that happen, so he had no choice but to fight alone.
"The path of demon!"
Han made every bit of his effort and tried to use the path of demon to find a way to fight the fire drake.
Boom~
The fire drake did not even try to dodge Han's attack. Facing the black mist-surrounded Han, instead of dodging, the fire drake chose a head-on attack!
The fire drake gave Han a taste of his own medicine. At first it was Han who chose to the fight with the fire drake in a head on manner. However, after the fire drake had completed his transformation, relying on his much higher power than Han, he did not even bother to dodge Han's attack.
Crack~
Han was knocked far back, injured with a painful burn. Han could not be compared with the transformed fire drake even in terms of physical strength.
The fire drake sure deserved to be called a universe-level beast, the consanguinity of dragons. After his transformation, the fire drake revealed the craziest combat power Han had ever seen.
"The path of demon!"
Han got up from the ground and launched his attack again!
If the first attack was not working out, then attack the second time! If the second attack was not successful as well, then try it a third time!
In a nutshell, once the attack has started, it should not be stopped until death! Han did not believe in the existence of immortal, he believed that there must not be any creature that could not be killed!
If there shall be an enemy that you failed kill for several times, the reason should just be that you are not strong enough!
Kaboom!
Once again, Han was knocked up in the air, he felt that his skin has already started to shrivel due to severe burns.
That was even under three layers of protection, except for the combat uniform and the energy coating, Han was also surrounded by a black mist; the power from darkness!
It was proved that the power of darkness could also play a role in defense, but unfortunately the power Han got from darkness was not strong enough to resist any of the attack of the godly-beast fire drake.
The battle has become increasingly horrifying.
The path of demon!
The path of demon!
The path of demon!
Again and again, Han climbed up from the ground, rushed to the fire drake, and then smashed back to the same place without any progression. Against such a godly-beast, fire drake; Han's attacks could do no harm to him.
Han was exhausted; he has taken excessive amounts of drugs and tried his most powerful abilities.
Ow~
The mysterious creature in the black egg kept barking, seeming like he was eagerly asking for permission to battle.
"Shut up! I'm not dead yet!" Han once again got up from the ground and he growled towards the black egg.
A piece of black crystal appeared in Han's hand. Other than the black egg, that was Han's last resort, the hand of darkness!

Chapter 270: Fire Drake, Dead!
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
The Hand of Darkness appeared!
Han knew that after he uses this crystal, his power of darkness would be enhanced again. But using an outside force was always associated with a risk, so Han always focused on training himself. Before running into enemies that were too powerful, Han planned to save this crystal for later, when he's higher level. After all, the higher the level, the less risk of using the dark crystal.
But now Han has no choice.
After a series of events that placed Han in such a dangerous situation, if he doesn't take out an even stronger weapon, Han would probably not be able to fight the Fire Drake and die here!
With that being the case, then just give it all!
The existence of having a joker in your hand, its purpose is not to be saved, but to be used at the critical moment without hesitation!
As for the black egg, Han doesn't know whether that's his joker card or not. Maybe the moment he opens the egg, that strange creature inside it would attack him or something, so Han didn't plan to use it.
Kacha~
The Hand of Darkness was instantly crushed into particles by Han's source energy, and then was guided by Han's source energy into his body.
This absorption process was co-designed by Han and Night Walker, and it could maximize the efficiency of absorption of the dark energy and minimize waste.
Within merely a few seconds, large amounts of the power of darkness boiled Han's blood. His body suddenly began heating up, and at the same time, that layer of black gas that surrounded him also became more intense.
Can't be wrong, this is the feeling! The feeling of a body full of strength!
Shua~
Han bent down and got into a strange posture, like a mad bull ready to charge.
At the next second, Han charged!
Path of Demon!
Rumble~
The black demonic-type attack was like a series of lightning explosions, rumbling with amazing force!
Path of Demon!
Finally reaching the strongest degree after Han comprehended the power of the devil!
Even the godly beast Fire Drake didn't dare to take Han lightly anymore, and it resorted to using its full strength, meeting Han in a head-on collision!
Bang~
A dull noise came, and when looking at Han again, most of the dark mist around his body dissipated. His whole body took dozens of steps backwards before stopping, and his eyebrows were also burnt!
Aoao~
The Fire Drake roared, as if saying, even though you used the stronger power of darkness, you are still a puny human.
Just as the Fire Drake roared, Han's eyebrows tightly locked as he took out a pair of black gloves from the dimension ring, and then slowly wore it onto his hands.
Those were the Gloves of Darkness, another a relic from the Dark King.
In the past, Han just knew that this set of gloves was made from very good fabric but wasn't knowledgeable about its origins. Until today that is, when Han used the Hand of Darkness!
At the moment, his two arms and two iron fists became pitch-black in color.
Ka~
The Gloves of Darkness automatically adjusted to the size of Han's fist, and Han was engulfed in a strange feeling, as if this set of gloves was activated. The strength of darkness inside his body was being concentrated on the two fists, and his fists became harder, and his power got stronger!
Han suddenly realized, this was actually the role of the Gloves of Darkness.
It was a kind of dark energy concentration device, capable of helping Han gather the strength that was scattered through out his body and then made his attacks more powerful and precise!
Even the Fire Drake felt Han's change, the two fiery eyes were tightly locked onto Han's two fists.
"Again!"
"Path of Darkness!"
Han shouted, then charged again! He raised his fists, and they started landing down like rain drops!
Rumble~
Rumble~
Rumble~
Rumble~
Such powerful pummeling sounds could even be heard hundreds of kilometers away, and that big black mountain began shaking violently!
This was the demonic path!
These were demonic strikes!
The dark power and equipment upgrade brought Han significant improvements in combat strength!
If someone else was at the scene, they would see this shocking scene: a person grabbed onto a creature that looked very like a legendary giant dragon, and was smashing it with his right fist!
Rumble~
Every fist's landing was like forging steel, splashing sparks everywhere!
The Fire Drake, after its transformation was indeed strong. It faded away its scales, and its body became extremely tough. But now, it didn't matter how tough its body was, its not harder than Han's fists!
That's a pair of fists equipped with the Power of Darkness! Han's fists continued to land! If one punch wasn't enough, then he would just deliver 100 more! 1000 more! 10,000 more!
Rumble~
Rumble~
Rumble~
Rumble~
The Fire Drake's one eye was actually smashed out by Han's fists!
Gengci~
Ares-class Star-Strangling Boa was out!
While the Fire Drake screamed, Han shoved the triple-edged giant blade directly into its eyes!
Rumble~
The Fire Drake became anxious, it gathered strength on both of its claws and sent Han flying.
Han felt his whole body covered in severe pain.
But he held back the pain, stood up again and continued to move his fists!
This was a very rare battle. Even though Han acquired top tier strength after using the Hand of Darkness and Glove of Darkness, he still didn't occupy an absolute advantage.
However, Han had a devil-like momentum!
Victory does not come from opportunity, but achieved by Han using the most brutal, violent, and stupid method! It was achieved through these consecutive punches!
Finding the right opportunity to strike most efficiently, to deliver a fatal blow, of course that's nice.
But when that opportunity isn't present, Han can also be like a barbarian and attack restlessly, until the enemy gets smashed to death!
As for the burning injury brought by the Fire Drake, Han completed ignored it, as if forgetting that there was still such a thing. When he went completely berserk, he didn't mind pain at all, not knowing whether he was injured or how bad the injury was.
Han doesn't know the answer to these questions at all, and even if he does, he's not going to care because there's only one question inside his heart, and that was how to kill the enemy.
Rumble~
Rumble~
The exchange of attacks between a human and a Fire Drake was still continuing. That kind of harsh roaring was also continuing, and it had been going on for a long time.
Don't know how long the battle continued for, Han felt the Fire Drake's counterattack becoming weaker and weaker, and his attacks still didn't stop, all the way until that big red guy became silent.
Pa~
Han sat down onto the ground, had the Demon Claw and the others surround him, and then he leaned onto Yuan Yuan. He was completely exhausted, and besides breathing, he didn't want to make any extra movements.
Papapapa~
A sound of applause came from the battlefield entrance, it was the Lovran brothers. The cunning brothers came back, at the time when Han lost most of his combat strength.
"Very good, Han, you are indeed a great warrior, you actually killed the Fire Drake by yourself." Lovran Mountain laughed and said, "But unfortunately, although you fought with your all, but at the end you were still working for us brothers."
"Look, although the Fire Drake is dead, its body is still exuding a dazzling red. This is because the battle has progressed to the end and that the Fire Drake has materialized, so his life and body unified and became the most magical and expensive bio metal in the universe, Fire Drake Forging Gold!"
"And those scales that the Fire Drake shed when transforming, those are also priceless. Just one scale is enough to pay for one mission of us brothers!"
"Thanks to you, you almost lost your life in the fight to get us brothers so many magical loots that can't even be priced."
Lovran River wasn't as excited as his brother and he just said coldly, "Why tell him that? Just kill him now, those few damn genetic beasts won't be able to stop me."
Lovran Mountain hesitated, he's still unwilling to let his brother fight so he anxiously said, "Don't get into the fight, let me do it."
"But."
"There's no but! You still need to control your power! Besides, I'm your big brother, you have to listen to me!"
Although Lovran River was a little depressed, but he still nodded.
Shua~
The mental control power began spreading. The Lovran family's mental-control power was passed down through its direct family members, and the powerful mental suppression made it very difficult for Demon Claw and the others to move, as their bodies seem to not listen to them anymore.
Lovran Mountain felt very proud. The beast's mental strength was usually weaker than humans, so although the Demon Claw and the others were very strong, they still couldn't resist the mental-type attack.
Lovran Mountain sneered, and then pulled out that very strange-looking knife of his.
Suddenly~
He noticed that although Han was still leaning on Yuan Yuan, he gradually opened his eyes and looked at him with a very strange feeling, and one end of his mouth also raised a touch of curvature.
At the same time, Han's clenched right fist slowly opened.
"What do you say was your super power?" Han sneered and asked.

Chapter 271: Complex Attack Stream!
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
"What did you say your super power is?" Han sneered and asked.
Lovran Mountain suddenly hesitated. As Han's right hand slowly opened, his face also became increasingly pale because a strong unreasonable force was taking his power away!
Han stood up as his body slightly shook. The tip of his mouth raised a little as he said in a deep voice, "I am indeed exhausted after fighting the Fire Drake, but even if I only had a hundredth of my strength left, it's still enough to kill you!"
"Psychic-descent power? The people I hate the most in this life are you guys that show off your power in front of me! If I don't have any fancy powers, you guys are not allowed too!"
After saying these three extremely tyrannical phrases, Han charged up, leading his genetic beast army.
There are many retards these days. All of them thinking that they were so smart, waiting for Han to show all his cards. But when it seemed like Han was out of cards, then they were in for a surprise.
What a joke!
Han had the most unreasonable power in the word, Void End!
"Demonic Strike!"
Han shouted, his attacks became more barbaric, switching to a close-combat style next to his bunch of terrifying genetic beasts charging behind him.
Then looking at Lovran Mountain, his psychic-descent ability was about control, using mental coercion to cause disorder in his opponent's mind or impairing their movement, and then Lovran Mountain could take advantage of that and deliver a fatal blow.
When dealing with other opponents, his psychic-descent power was very useful.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Han today.
Any espers would have no way of dealing with Han, and be forced to follow Han's rhythm and get in close combat.
As someone who made his debut from learning forbidden techniques and the pack leader of multiple powerful genetic beasts, what Han was least afraid of was being in close combat with enemies, because there were only a few people that could really beat him.
As for the Lovran brothers, both being at the warlord level, so what? Han already killed numerous warlords already.
Powerful beasts may give Han a hard time, but human-like aliens? No way!
In the blink of an eye, Lovran Mountain was almost going to collapse, as he struggled to defend against the triple-edged blade in Han's hand.
At this moment, Lovran River who had been only spectating on the side suddenly rushed up.
Ka~
His two hands made a strange gesture in front of his chest. It looked like a type of seal that locked something in his body.
"No!"
Lovran Mountain saw his brother making such move. His eyes widened as he tried to stop his brother, as if he would rather die than see his brother undoing the seal.
Kacha~
Getting distracted while fighting Han was absolutely suicidal, like distracted driving!
The tripe-edged sword penetrated directly into Lovran Mountain's chest, and Ghost Claw and Demon Claw's sharp claws also arrived at the same time. Silver Fox's little paw swept across the air and ripped open his scalp!
Lovran family's elder brother Lovran Mountain, dead!
In such a cruel way, he was dissembled on the spot!
"Brother!"
Lovran River rushed over and caught his brother's incomplete body. Under the siege of Han's army, Lovran Mountain's body was no longer together, covered in holes and even missing half of the head.
Thinking that Lovran's family was originally god's descent, such a fashion of death was definitely not very suitable.
Silver Fox and the others wanted to ride the momentum and take down Lovran River as well.
But at that moment, Han suddenly stopped them.
His sharp senses detected violent changes inside Lovran River's body, with both source energy and the intent to kill surging dramatically. Han could be considered to have seen countless people, yet he has never seen an opponent with such a strong intention to kill. So, out of caution, Han didn't rush up.
Aoao~
Putting down his brother's body, Lovran River straightened his back and stood up, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.
Han even felt that Lovran River seemed really like Han himself in the demon state.
With his finger joints making cracking sounds, Lovran River was first sad and angry, but immediately he started laughing wildly as he shouted, "What a man, Han, you actually killed my brother. With him dead, there's no one that can stop me in this world now!"
Han slightly frowned, he could clearly feel Lovran River's power taking effect. The mental spirit storm filled his body with a storm-like existence, and anyone that approached him could feel the powerful mental spirit suppression.
Han was shocked, could it be that his Void End stopped working?
Impossible!
The entire journey Han walked, his Void End had never failed him!
Lovran's body began surging with power, and he shouted in a hoarse voice, "My power is the exact opposite as my brothers. He's good at unleashing the mental spirit storm to others and controlling them, but mine is endogenous."
"In other words, I didn't release my power onto others, but just injected it into myself, and the more I inject, the stronger I can become!"
"Of course, it's not that this power doesn't have weaknesses. When I inject too much spirit power, my mind would become chaotic and eventually become uncontrollable."
"You got it?"
Han was not dumb. he of course understood what kind of property Lovran River's power has.
In general, everyone including Han, their power was unleashed when dealing with enemies.
But Lovran River was an outlier. His power can only be forced into himself. So, since Lovran didn't output any super powers, no matter how strong Han's Void End was, he naturally wouldn't be able to deprive that power since nothing was released.
Suddenly~
Just as Lovran was arrogantly showing off to Han how his power couldn't be robbed, he suddenly hesitated.
Because he noticed that Han suddenly took a step back and summoned the two 7-eyed Starry Spiders.
"Kill him." Han raised one arm, pointed at Lovran River and said.
Pew pew pew~
The two spiders began shooting out little spiders like mad, and those little spiders were each smaller than a crab. However, they were great in numbers!
After one second, there were 1000 spiders on the battlefield.
After 10 seconds, the quantity reached 10,000!
Lovran had no choice but to be trapped in a battle with an enormous army of low-level Starry Spiders. Those terrifying spiders with sharp fangs and long claws were all trying to climb onto Lovran's body.
And what pissed Lovran off more was that Han's still feeding drugs to the two Starry Spiders!
The Starry Spiders producing the spider legion consumed energy, and when their energy was exhausted, the production would also stop.
Han studied pharmacology, and according to 7-eyed Starry Spiders' characteristics, Han fed them large amount of drugs that replenished energy, which caused them to produce spiders nonstop.
"What a strange guy, he thought if I want to kill him I have to do it myself. Injecting himself with power? What does that have to do with me? If you want to inject yourself then I will just let other people kill you, isn't that the same?" Han mumbled to himself.
Silver Fox nodded nonstop, seeming like it agreed with his owner. One squirrel one man, both of them had a cunning look on their face.
Lovran was almost pissed to the point of vomiting blood!
This is bullying!
His power was endogenous, meaning that he can't deal with a large quantity of enemies.
As the old saying goes, it's difficult for two fists to fight four hands. No matter how strong Lovran was, he's still afraid of being attacked by a group. Such a number of starry spiders, even if they don't bite him to death, they will still deplete his source energy.
"I'm going to bring you down with me!"
Lovran River's face was covered in grief. He took the risk of being bitten by the spiders to get closer to Han! And fight him to the death!
"Thunder Fire!"
Lovran River leaped into the air, but he just saw Han waved in the air, and hundreds of powerful explosive bugs appeared in the sky. These little bugs were like magnets, they directly attached themselves onto Lovran River's body, detonating immediately upon contact!
Rumble~
Rumble~
Lovran was instantly fried into a dizzy state, and relying on his powerful defense from his mental storm, Lovran River ultimately escaped.
But not even waiting until his feet touches the ground, suddenly, behind the black smoke caused by the explosion, dozens of green vines shot out, each was as thick as a person's waist!
Those were Sky King Vines!
Known as the strongest combat-type plant!
As the Thunder Fire exploded, Han took the opportunity and planted down a Sky King Vine for a second wave of attack!
Lovran River was going insane. This is the legendary overwhelming comprehensive strike!
Things that climbed on the ground, things that flew in the sky, and also things that grew out of the ground. Who would've thought, Han actually brought this many strange combat-type gadgets!
"I don't have anything else, just tons of ways to kill people!" Han raised his arm again and pointed at Lovran River, who was on the verge of collapsing both physically and mentally, and he shouted, "Kill him!"
Shua~
With Demon Claw in the lead, Han's genetic beast army charged up again.
Such intensity and power of attacks.
Three years after his debut, Han's attacks had already become a style of its own!

Chapter 272: Suppression
Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky
In his mysterious host room, 9527, the guy who was fat like a ball, laughed.
At the same moment, on the screen, Han was continuing his Wind Forest Volcano quest. 9527 witnessed the whole process. At first, he tortured them by various means. When River Lovran was tortured until he was half dead, Han and his army of genetic beasts suddenly came out and gave him the final blow.
9527 talked to himself while laughing, "Finally I understand why it is so hard for you to master the Path of Demon, because you yourself is not a demon at all. From the beginning to the end, all you are is just an elf!"
"Sometimes crazy, sometimes kind, sometimes coming up with such means of torture, changing constantly, not like a demon nor a god, these are just the most typical characteristics of an elf."
"Even though you have consumed enormous, enormous amounts of time and energy after entering into the Path of Demon, but the next and also the last path, the Path of Elf, is exactly where your nature lies in, so the result will sure make everyone surprised."
In the blink of an eye, Han had already killed the Lovran brothers and started to pack up his spoils of the battle. At the same time Han turned his head and wondered why the system was not giving him a signal to leave. He had clearly passed the Wind Forest Volcano quest.
Han's performance made 9527 wonder what to do. 9527 frowned and murmured to himself, "Based on your outstanding performance, promoting to star lord should definitely not be a problem. However, what would people say after they see your beasts' performances?"
"You are of common birth, not a descendant of any god. However, you possess the talent and skills which most descendants of gods envy. Han, you should know that the tallest tree in a forest always end up being destroyed by the wind. The gods blow a strong wind, a strong hurricane which has destroyed numerous towering trees."
"If I let them know your name right now, I would be basically killing you, but if I forbid you to push yourself forward, you would not get the title of star lord. What should I do?"
9527 rubbed his temple with his thick fingers, and thought for a while.
"That's it. For now, I will keep you away from their attention, with your abilities, getting the title of star lord is just as easy turning your hand over, while some attention has already been drawn to you the last time at the border."
"You have demonstrated extraordinary leadership skills in the battle at the border. The bunch of gods will not kill a boy only because of his leadership skill. However, this time you once again demonstrated excellent personal combat abilities." 9527 said to himself.
9527 has made up his mind, he said to the screen in front him softly, "Queen, delete all of Han's data at the Wind Forest Volcano, final assessment: pass, but the title of star lord not granted."
"Yes sir."
The system made a synthetic female sound. After that, all of Han's data in the Wind Forest Volcano quest had been erased.
9527 stood up and paced back and forth in his dark data center. A thought suddenly came to his mind, he asked curiously, "Queen, check the database, what would happen if the superpower Void End breaks through the warlord-level?"
A short while after, the cold female voice responded, "Master, according to my search, in the history of the All Gods Corporation, no esper of the Void End abilitiy type has broken through warlord-level."
"What!? There was never a God of Destruction of this type of superpower!?" 9527 was shocked, his fat body trembled.
Star lord city.
Jianjia left the conference room with his father, bored. Yanan Zhu followed closely.
Jianjia neither liked nor hated Yanan Zhu, he just did not care about him, everything would be the same either with or without him.
"Finally I could have got rid of those boring old guys. Dad, you came to star lord city for inspection, why bother also taking me? You know, I never liked your long-winded report." Jianjia said while she lazily stretched herself.
Mr. Water, Jianjia's father, sighed slightly and said, "Jianjia, as your father I do things for your own good. You will have to learn this stuff sooner or later. Look at yourself, staying in the star lord city all day even if I tried to throw you out. Please listen to me just once, leave here and go to the Galaxy City."
Jianjia frowned, she then muttered, "I don't feel like going other places, Galaxy City is even more boring than this place. I will definitely suffocate in boredom that's just a matter of time."
"By the way, you've had my company for the past few days, how is Han doing? Invite him over for dinner. Didn't you say that he has the potential to become a commander of a legion or maybe even a higher level position?"
Mr. Water had not responded yet. Yanan Zhu following at the back said first, "I heard that Han went to the Wind Forest Volcano"
"The Wind Forest Volcano quest? Oh my! That's a dangerous quest!" Jianjia was shocked, she immediately took out her micro-computer and started checking into details. At the same time she also blamed Yanan Zhu for not telling her about this earlier.
After Yanan Zhu saw that Jianjia cared so much about Han, he became furious. In the meantime, he remembered that he had already hired the Lovran brothers to take care of this so his mind settled down a bit. He then replied with a fake smile on his face, "Were you and uncle Water not listening to the work report? How dare I even to bother."
"Go away, leave me alone!" Jianjia said in a bad mood.
"Behave yourself!" Mr. Water was fed up with Jianjia's behavior. He apologized to Yanan Zhu, "Yanan, it was all my fault, Jianjia lost her mother when she was young, she is spoiled by me."
"Dad, why are you telling an outsider this kind of stuff? " Jianjia was a little bit angry.
Jianjia's attitude was not only seen by Yanan Zhu's eyes but it was also marked in his mind. He then said with a heart of malevolence, "Huh, let me see your face when you hear the news of Han's death!"
"Holy, Han passed the Wind Forest Volcano quest! I told you he's got quite some talent." Jianjia said to her father proudly, Yanan Zhu, after heard of that, was extremely surprised.
"Unfortunately, even though Han passed the Wind Forest Volcano quest, he did not manage to get the title of star lord. How unlucky, I was thinking that may be if he could get the star lord title, I'll also go grab myself one." Jianjia added.
"For real?" Jianjia's father, Mr. Water replied in a hurry, "If Han is going to Galaxy City, you will also go there?"
"I will consider it." Jianjia said with a cute foxy look on her face.
Mr. Water immediately opened his micro-computer and muttered, "I'd have a look at the reason why Han passed the quest without a star lord title granted to him."
As the only heir of the family, Jianjia's unambitiousness was a real headache to her father. She wandered in the star lord city, which was of the lowest-level all year round. Mr. Water would not allow this to happen for any longer.
As soon as Jianjia said that if Han gets the title of star lord, she will also consider leaving here and go to Galaxy City which was one level higher, Mr. Water, who did not care about Han at all before, suddenly became interested in him. All in all, this was for the good of Jianjia.
Yanan Zhu was also nervously checking out information on his computer. He heard that Han was not dead and he wondered, he undoubtedly hired the Lovran brothers at a high price, how could they fail?
"No data! How could there be no data!? Get me the technology department. What have those idiots been doing all the time!" Mr. Water did not get Han's data so he became very angry and even started cursing out loud.
Jianjia saw that Yanan Zhu and her father's faces both looked upset. She wondered, " This guy must be so sad knowing he did not get the star lord title, should I go see and comfort him?"
"How come I did not get the star lord title! I killed the fire drake, how could I not get the star lord title!? This is so frustrating!" Han started cursing once he arrived at 9527's transfer station. "What are those bunch of bastards doing! Wasn't it said that whoever slays the fire drake will definitely be promoted? What a bunch of jerks who could not even keep their promises!"
9527 kept his countenance, he held the silver fox in his palm, smiled and said, "Who told you that you will get the star lord title 100% of the time you slay a fire drake?"
"An…" Han was shocked, he frowned slightly, "An enemy.'
It now appeared to be that the Lovran brothers were Han's enemies, Han also realized that there was something wrong.
9527 said, "That shall explain it, whoever slays the fire drake will be promoted is just a myth, the All Gods Corporation has never made an official announcement about that."
"On the other hand, you know that the gods are really unpredictable, they promote whoever they want, they could not give you a promotion just because they don't like you, how could there possibly be any rules or regulations for us to follow?
"Damn the All Gods!" Han cursed in a low voice, "Your bosses are all jerks."
9527 was shocked, he put out a strange face and whispered to himself, "My bosses? Whatever, if that's how you think."
Han strode straight to the practice room.
9527 said curiously, "Are you going to do more exercise right after you get back from the battlefield? You are sure racing with time."
Han waved his hand and said, "I am tired as hell, how can I even have any more energy to practice, it's just that I feel like my Source Energy Index has increased a lot, I want to use the testing machine/"
"Your source energy increased a lot?" 9527 said to himself, "Han is now a quasi-warlord, he could become a warlord with some further progress."
