Chapter 880 - Thanks, Arcane Church (2/2)
Han Xiao’s eyes glowed with a blue bolt of lightning, and he spat out a cloud of bluish gas.
Since there was no race evolution this time, there was not much pain throughout the whole process.
He looked down to see if there were any changes to his body. From the outside, there were not many changes. He had grown slightly taller, and his muscles looked more toned.
He then felt his head itch slightly and grabbed a bunch of hair off from his head while scratching it.
“I’m shedding hair‽”
Han Xiao was shocked and immediately summoned his mirror to take a look, but after getting a clear look, he heaved a sigh of relief.
His Promotion stimulated his metabolism and improved the cell structure of his entire body. As such, his original hair fell out, and new hair grew out. However, the hair that had dropped was still stuck in his head, which explained why he felt the itch.
“Thankfully, my thick black hair is still around.”
Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. For a moment, he thought that he had walked the evil path of exchanging his hair for power. The balder he got, the more powerful he would become.
The upper limit of the Lord Mechanic class was level 40, and he would complete his Class Advancement when he reached level 200. The next race evolution was also at level 300, and level 280 was just an ordinary Promotion in the middle.
However, 52,000 Ona seemed to be a stable boundary. Not all Beyond Grade As were able to reach 52,000 Ona, and the few talents that he had obtained felt like the basic abilities of a new realm.
After learning [Endless Material Science] and [Virtual Creator], his Energy Rank rapidly approached 52,000 Ona, and he finally broke through the boundary after increasing his level.
Han Xiao then looked at his new abilities and verified his guess.
Although he did not experience a race evolution, every Promotion was also an increase to his realm. Going past 52,000 Ona meant entering a new realm, and every life form that reached this realm would receive the same talents.
[Strengthened Elemental Resistance] boosted his attributes like [Perfect Mechanical Sense], and its multiplier was 1.25.
[Optimized Energy Usage] reduced the energy and stamina consumption of all his skills to 27%.
[High Grade Life Vitality] increased the upper limit of his health and recovery rate. His health increased by 17%, and his recovery rate increased by 120%.
These three talents strengthened his basic ability to take damage, which was something that all classes required.
The only skill, [Mighty Prestige], was a halo type ability that could be turned on and off. A life form at a higher realm was capable of emanating pressure, and this had turned into a skill.
The suppression would cover a certain region, and the individuals within the region would be affected by it, inflicting a negative status to reduce their attributes. However, it was only useful to life forms with intelligence, and certain life forms that were immune to mental skills were immune toward it, such as Mechanical Lives. It was useless against individuals of the same level.
After thinking for a while, Han Xiao concluded that the skill was completely useless apart from bullying noobs. But if he wanted to bully noobs, a Mechanic like him would not need a halo like this. He could just have a team fight.
The three talents that he had obtained were still much better.
Although this was only an ordinary Promotion, the increase to his strength was still pretty good.
His base Endurance boost was one Endurance point to 410 Health. The increase from his other abilities included an additional 60 from [Advanced Strengthened Life], 140 from [Eternal Body], 50 from Grade S boost, 10% health from [Extraordinary Physique], 17% health from [High Grade Life Vitality], and 100 health from [Well Trained].
For his Mechanical Force, he also had various different talents and skills to convert Intelligence to Machinery Affinity.
He then threw all his Free Attribute Points into Intelligence and looked at his attributes with satisfaction.

_____________________
The remark is so solemn this time.
Han Xiao rubbed his muscles and tried to get used to the changes.
Now that he was at Grade S+, he was still considered Beyond Grade A despite the growth in his strength. His strength did not achieve such a huge change like when he went from the Calamity Grade to Beyond Grade A. Because there was no clear distinction between the combat strength of the Beyond Grade As and the grades within the Beyond Grade A realm being slowly figured out, the realm was segmented into mini realms.
Just like how everyone thought that the Calamity Grade was the upper limit of strength during the early days of the exploration era, the people now felt that Beyond Grade A was the limit of an individual’s strength. EsGod wanted to break through the current limits just like the Primordial Ones did and raise his strength to a whole new realm.
After his promotion, the amount of experience required to level up increased yet again. Han Xiao knew that it would be impossible for him to save up enough experience to reach level 300 quickly. After all, he used the faction store to earn the players’ experience, and even if he could earn experience quickly, he needed the time to accumulate it. Currently, the players had already learned plenty of knowledge, and the experience that they provided had begun to stagnate.
Han Xiao was not prepared to continue waiting. He had already been in seclusion for a few months, and it was better for him to get rid of EsGod as quickly as possible.
He had crafted many pieces of equipment that were made specially to deal with EsGod, and as long as the dynasty was willing to help him, he would have some confidence to kill EsGod.
“I haven’t contacted the dynasty at all during this period. I wonder how matters are still unsettled between them and the Arcane Church. If they have come to an agreement already, they should have the capacity to deal with EsGod.”
Han Xiao then took out his communicator and was about to ask about the dynasty’s situation.
Right at this moment, Phillip suddenly appeared.
“Master, hum… Someone sent me an encrypted message just now.”
“Sending an encrypted message to me? Decrypt it and see who sent it.”
“I can’t decrypt it alone; that’s why I came to you.”
Han Xiao’s eyes narrowed. Phillip was a capable assistant, and since Phillip was unable to decrypt the information, it meant that the other party was not a simple individual. They had to be at the Star Cluster level at the very least.
“What is said in the encrypted message?”
“They said that they are the descendants of Spacetime Freezer and want to talk to you face to face.”
Han Xiao was stunned, and his expression changed slightly.
When he was searching for information regarding the Spacetime Amber, he remembered the current state of the Spacetime Freezer race.
So… the Federation of Light is looking for me?
Since they have chosen to send the Spacetime Freezer race over, are they trying to hint to me that they are aware of the Spacetime Amber’s origins?
Han Xiao then pondered for a moment before instructing, “Reply to them. I agree to meet them.”
