Chapter 313 The Selection (2/2)
Up till now, the players had all been limited to their respective beginner planets, and none were able to travel into space. News of Han Xiao's mission exploded within the present players, and they rushed to release this information onto the forums. The whole of Planet Aquamarine was shocked, and even players on the other planets were talking about this.
The forums were thrown into chaos once more!
Every single player's attention was forcefully wrenched over from the previous competitions to Han Xiao's shocking new mission.
Space in Galaxy was still a complete unknown to the current players, and many were curious and anticipating it. However, everyone was stuck on their beginner planet. Now that news had gotten out about a chance to venture off into the stars, something that should only have been possible in later versions, the players could not help but get more excited than ever.
This was a chance!
If they could follow Han Xiao, they would be able to travel into space much earlier than their peers, giving them massive advantages over the others.
Han Xiao had nonchalantly thrown out a mission with such huge implications that it was like a bomb had gone off. The players realized that Han Xiao had not actually mentioned going into space—rather, this information was revealed by the mission notice. The players were secretly happy as they thought that they had hit the jackpot and were able to glance into Han Xiao's true intentions.
Naturally, Han Xiao had done that on purpose as he was aware how the players would react. He knew that the players would feel a sense of accomplishment when they saw this. Standing there, he just smiled as he watched everything unfold on the forums.
He was only planning on bringing the pro players, so he obviously needed a plausible excuse and could not be too obvious about it. The maximum level requirement would be able to filter out most of the casual players, while the combat testing could easily be manipulated by him. As long as they could last thirty seconds against him in a fight, they would have passed the test.
With this, he should be able to acquire all the professional talents.
The news very quickly caught the pros' attention. These players were done with their matches and had nothing on their hand. There was still another year before they would fight on the global stage; however, as they were all already maxed out in levels, there was not much that they could do aside from personal training and trying to learn some new skills. Most of the winning teams who had qualified for the next stage were in the same position. But now, Han Xiao had given them a chance to adventure in a brand-new map.
New maps meant countless new possibilities!
These pro players could not have been happier. In their eyes, this was the same as a blessing from God, and this chance could not be missed.
..
On the second day, countless pro players gathered in the Sanctuary's square. It was like a celebrity red carpet event. These star players dazzled the crowd as they walked on the road.
”Oh right. A while ago, wasn't there a similar scene a while ago when Black Phantom started selling advanced knowledge?”
”There are still recordings of that time, but things are on a much bigger scale this time. Basically, all the pro players on Planet Aquamarine have come here today.”
”Both events have something to do with Black Phantom…”
The matches had just drawn to a close, and most players were still in the Sanctuary. This was one of the reasons that Han Xiao had chose this time to announce the mission.
Soon, a bunch of people had accepted the mission. Han Xiao walked back a bit to make some space and randomly chose a pro player who he did not recognize and said, ”Hold for thirty seconds, and you pass.”
About a thousand people had accepted the mission, and they all discussed among themselves as they watched.
”Thirty seconds can't be that difficult right,” said the Second Prince. ”Even if I went one on one against a level sixty Boss in the wild, I could at least survive for a few minutes.”
Li Ge looked at the time and shook his head. ”Thirty seconds for everyone is quite long.”
As the players chatted, the players and the pros all used [Detect] on Han Xiao to get some basic information.

”It's all question marks‽” Everyone's faces suddenly changed.
They had all reached Version 1.0's level cap, and when they used the same ability on the other Boss-level NPCs, they could at least see some of the target's basic info such as character level and character type. However, they could not see anything when using it on Han Xiao. There was even a question mark on his basic identity. He had to be at least five levels higher than them, right?
Ever since maxing out their levels, they had never encountered something like this!
Just how high was Black Phantom's level‽
