Chapter 735 - Evolve! Advancing on the Path of a Tank! (1/2)
The battlefield of the secret war was too broad, and the small skirmish did not attract too much attention. Jorde was the only one who paid attention to it.
Not caring about the Bloodshed Land’s reaction, Han Xiao rejected Rexson’s celebration invitation after they won the battle. He brought Hila along and headed to other perimeters to give her more battlefields for her Soul Absorption.
While Han Xiao was going around the various battlefields, a new popular topic appeared on the forums. Quite a number of players that attacked Stronghold W-58 uploaded the video with Hila in it, which made the players recall memories from long ago.
Initially, this was just a usual video, but when people realized that Han Xiao and Hila had known each other for three versions now, especially after their ‘old love’ was dug out from the Galaxy Chronicles, the focus of the topic became entirely something else. Articles with all sorts of titles started to appear.
“Shock! Black Star Did This to Hila!”
“Reigniting Old Flames? Or Has He Found New Love?”
“A Love Story That Crossed Twenty Years!”
“Who Really Is the Woman Black Star Loves the Most? Counting Those Beauties He Once Loved…”
The players’ spirits were highest when talking about these kinds of topics. After all, they could imagine as much as they wanted, and there would not be any consequences. The topic gradually turned from Hila to Black Star’s love history.
Han Xiao was now the most famous NPC in the Shattered Star Ring. His position was high. He was rich, strong, and rather handsome. Ever since Version 1.0, the players had never really gotten to know any storylines regarding his love life, and the players were extremely curious about it.
Not just Hila, all the known living female characters related to the Black Star Army became hot topics of the players’ intense discussions. On the forums, the supporters of different female characters were split into factions and argued with each other.
“Hila’s known him for the longest. It’s clearly old flames being reignited.”
“Boo, us Dragon Emperor supporters will never give in!”
“You people know nothing. Sylvia is the one and only!”
“Us Herlous supporters are smiling.”
“Us Harmon supporters are unhappy. We’re going to chop your heads off.”
“Come on, you guys are weak. Greetings from the Phillip supporters.”
“Us Feidin supporters announce our exit. Feidin is our husband. Black Star, you’re not good enough for him!”
“Right now, Aroshia is still on the way.”
“The Germinal Organization Leader is watching you from above.”
The popular topics on the forums caused the fame of the various Black Star Army officers to grow. As the focus of the topics, Black Star also gained more attention.
Han Xiao did not pay much attention to these topics on the forums; they were all for the players’ entertainment and would not cause any influence. The only possible result of it would just be more parodies…
After going to quite a few perimeters, Hila’s combat capability quickly increased through Soul Absorption. In just half a month, her Ona grew by more than 400.
In this period, Han Xiao fought a few times. His Spirit Barrier and the Enchantments on his body decreased the growth rate of the Soul Embryo, but the size of the Soul Embryo still grew from four percent to nine percent.
However, many army players had already reached Grade B, and these people started to use Experience to learn Knowledges. In this half a month, Han Xiao finally gained enough Experience to level up to above level 220.
Han Xiao stopped the traveling, touched Feidin, and hastily locked himself inside the training room.
As Han Xiao opened the interface and looked at his total Experience, he smiled with satisfaction.
After seven years, he was finally at the doorstep of another Promotion.
Without hesitation, he threw the Experience into leveling up.
[Apostle Mechanic) leveled up to Lv.25.
+240 Energy, +3 STR, +4 DEX, +5 END, +10 INT.
You have received 8 Free Attribute Points and 1 Potential Point.
After leveling up twice consecutively, his level was now level 220 and at Promotion.
The Promotion mission popped up on the interface; this time, Han Xiao did not even look at it.
The Mission Completion Cards that he had been hoarding for seven years had now finally come into use!
Use [Mission Completion Card)? [Confirm/ Cancel]
“Confirm.”
You have used (Mission Completion Card)!
[Edge of Death)… completed!
(Level 220 Promotion Mission completed!
Promotion successful!
END Bonus increased! 1 END = 175 Health = 185 Stamina.]
His Endurance bonus increased by thirty after this Promotion, five more than the previous Promotion.
A hot stream flowed out from his heart and quickly circulated his entire body. Every cell in his body became tremendously more active; he could clearly feel his increased life force.
Han Xiao focused and looked at the interface notification—this Promotion also included a Race Evolution.
He had just got some luck from Feidin earlier. He was hoping to get some good options.
You have taken another step on the path of evolution. You have ascended in the hierarchy of life. Your genes have reformed. You’re closer to another new beginning of life…

Looking at the nine options before him, Han Xiao felt a headache coming on.
Not because these options were not good, but because they were too good!
He was in a pickle.
