Han really used Void End and deprived everyone’s power in a hundred kilometers radius area, just for Ye Weiwei to be able to play in the water like an ordinary girl.
Jian Jia saw this and felt a complex feeing in her heart. To her, Han almost had nothing other than these talents, yet Han used his only power to be this nice towards Ye Weiwei and it made Jian Jia feel a bit jealous.
“Miss, some people from the investigation department came.” A swift little figure ran to Jian Jia’s back and whispered.
“Tell them to get out.” Jian Jia was not in a good mood.
“Yes.”
The dark guard backed out, and the water park was still calm. Jian Jia was very proud because her strength was far stronger than Han’s, but then she soon changed to being a little depressed.
Originally, Jian Jia felt that she was like the daughter of heaven who owned everything, but today, it looked like that was not the case. The more she saw that bright smile and the excitement that Ye Weiwei couldn’t hide, Jian Jia grew increasingly jealous. This was because there wasn’t really anyone that would make him feel as happy as Ye Weiwei, and she could only play with herself for most of the time.
In the evening, Han also gathered everyone for a meal. Everyone had the same reason to see Han, that they didn’t want Han to miss this opportunity to be promoted to Star Lord.
According to the rules, the Star Lord’s annual event will start from arena battle, and the winners would be able to participate in a big journey at the Mystic Valley (Previously known as Mystery Valley). Then, those that successfully completed the journey can acquire the Star Lord title.
Han promised everyone that he will for sure attend the event, and then the crowd was assured. The Mystic Valley Journey allowed team-forming, so if Han’s present, using Void End and the Wolf Fang tactic would be beneficial for everyone.
After all, Han’s Wolf Fang tactic’s reputation was already out there, and everyone knew that Han was not only an outstanding warrior, but also a rare battlefield commander, a battle rhythm master.
“Everyone try your best, and we will meet again at the Mystic Valley!” Han gave a toast.
Shua~
In the deep dark sky, there were two mysterious black cloaked figures with one guarding the other.
Just at that moment, the eyes of one of the black cloaked figures turned white in color, as he used his psychic powers and saw Han’s gathering with friends.
“So he’s actually hiding at the second layer of Dark Net, behind the back of the All Gods Corporation. This is making it a bit difficult.” The white eyed one that could channel psychic power said while breathing heavily, as if using this technique puts a heavy toll on his body.
The other man in black cloak nodded and said, “Yes, with the All Gods Corporation being an important part of the dark net, this is indeed hard to deal with. But, we are not completely out of options.”
“What do you mean?”
“Very simple. Aren’t they going to the Mystic Valley? We can cut the connection between the Mystic Valley and the Dark Net.”
“It’s theoretically feasible, but wouldn’t this move attract too much attention?”
“That will depend on how much the Old Man wants to get rid of the traitor. If the Old Man really wants to make the traitor completely disappear in this universe, he will take this risk.”
“Then what’s left to do is not something in our control anymore. Let’s go, let’s report our findings to the Old Man.”
“No need to rush. After these three months of research, we also found many forces that have grudges against the traitor, and these forces might be able to be used for our advantage.”
“You are referring to the Triple-Eyed Race and the dark apostles under their command?”
“Yep.”
“I don’t like those Triple-Eyed people.”
“I don’t like them too, but as long as they are useful for us it’s fine. If they are willing to work with us from the inside, our plan’s success rate will become higher.”
“Okay, this time I will listen to you. Should we talk with those dark apostles, or directly get in touch with the Triple-Eye behind those apostles?”
“Of course, it’s finding the masters. The dark apostles are just puppets of the Triple-Eyed Race, what qualification do they have to talk to us?”
Star Lord City
The annual arena is in full swing.
Han could be said to be the most annoying existence amongst all beast tamers. He’s clearly a soldier, yet he’s taking up a spot in the beast tamer participant stream.
Posing as a beast tamer was enough, and what really pisses other people off is that he’s actually a really strong one, no one could beat the genetic beasts under his command.
Not being able to win was enough. After all, the Ten-Thousand Boundless Beasts was considered an era-marking milestone in the genetic technology field. But what pissed people off even more as that those powerful genetic beasts weren’t even treated specially by Han. They were babies that others wouldn’t hesitate to trade millions of dark net points for, yet they were worthless in Han’s eyes. Han didn’t even bother giving them a name and just numbered them off.
Han’s #5 genetic beast won over eight games, and today was the finals. The top ten genetic beasts were going to fight in one round and be ranked based on performance.
For the past eight games, Han didn’t even come himself. He just told his two little bros Lance and Hei Xiaolin to watch after #5 for him.
Now that today was the final, Han finally reluctantly decided to appear at the scene.
According to the rules, the ranking was also a bit meaningful. The higher the rank, the more information one could get on the Mystic Valley. Although Jian Jia claimed that she knew the secrets about Mystic Valley, Han still felt that it’s better if he had some preparation himself. Besides, relying everything on others was also not Han’s style.
Many of Han’s friends came, including the blue-blood Boya who Han hadn’t seen for awhile.
Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei sat at the back row, Ke Lake also sat near the back and spectated with the Three Addicts. Only Lance, Hei Xiaolin and Boya, those three idiots would die just to sit with Han. Especially Boya, he was full of hot blood no matter what he’s doing. He even raised a big flag behind his back which as some really embarrassing words that’s something along the line of “Han #1”.
“I just want everyone to know that you are the Number 1 Beast Tamer in the Star Lord City!” Boya waved his blue arms and shouted.
Han really felt an headache. This wasn’t being hot blooded, more like being retarded!
Later on, he must send Boya to school on Earth to teach him about the culture of being humble.
All in all, with Boya out, Han could not lay lowkey even if he wanted to. Just when his head was hurting, Han suddenly saw the king of the Headhunter race Fran. This guy was not very lucky, it took him awhile to just be able to make it to Star Lord City, and now he came to show Han his support too.
Fran was wearing a very strange outfit. There was a huge skeleton head on his back, and there were two horns on the head. According to him, this outfit was only worn when the Headhunter race worshipped their ancestors. It was especially expensive, yet for Han, Fran even wore it out.
Now, with Boya’s flag and Fran’s outfit, plus the big mouth Lance and Hei Xiaolin helping out at the side, all the other beast tamers added together didn’t have enough sense of presence than Han.
“Too embarrassing, thank god we didn’t sit beside Han. Don’t tell anyone I know him.” Jian Jia said with a red face.
Ye Weiwei actually wanted to sit closer to Han, but after all she was a princess from a big clan, and she couldn’t stand Boya and the others’ jokes.
Speaking of which, Han indeed should make better friends. All sorts of barbarians, assassins, and retarded people are all pretty close to Han.
“Look, the final battle began!” Boya shouted again.
“Not bad, Brother Han’s #5 is the most prestigious and handsome looking one among the bunch.” Fran patted Han on the shoulder and said.
“Huh? Something doesn’t seem right. That genetic beast looks really insidious, and he has 3 eyes.”
“#5 began backing off! How come he backed into the corner? Could it be that it’s afraid of that triple-eyed genetic beast?”
Han suddenly hesitated. The triple-eyed monster that appeared on the battlefield also grabbed Han’s attention. It was a molluscs-like monster with a dozen claws and a giant head. On the head, there were three eyes.
When the triple-eyed beast appeared, #5 quiet
Chap 101: The Mysterious Egg
(P.s. guys read last chapter carefully, Kunlun’s actually just acting)
Kunlun said in a pleading tone, “Your Majesty, your power of darkness is boundless. Helping this little dark beast hatch is as easy as raising a hand, so please help me.”
“As for the incubation process, it’s very simple, you only need to summon your power of darkness, put your fingers on the surface of this egg, and the little guy will naturally start absorbing your power of darkness. When the energy charge is sufficient, the little guy will hatch.”
Han nodded since he did not have much choice. If he denied Kunlun’s request, his real identity might be exposed on the spot which will inevitably lead to a tough battle. With Han’s current strength, it would be completely impossible for him to escape this metal city alive.
“In any case, I will try to survive first.” Han thought.
He chose to compromise and secretly began summoning the Heart of Darkness’s power.
His arm quickly became the pitch black color, and then he attempted to place his fingers on this unidentified egg.
Shua~
Suddenly, a magical force of attraction appeared. The egg was like a monster that tightly bit onto Han and didn’t want to let go, trying its best to suck out the dark energy from Han.
Han was suddenly shocked, because the egg was violently absorbing his power, which gave Han the feeling that his body was being quickly sucked empty.
He hastily started swinging his arm, trying to get his fingers off the strange egg, but Han’s fingers were stuck to the egg like strong magnets, making it impossible to move at all.
Shua~
Every second, large amounts of dark energy were being sucked away by this egg. Little drops of sweat gradually formed on Han’s forehead. He felt his whole body becoming sore and numb, and an unprecedented sense of exhaustion washed over him.
This situation had never happened before. As a 4 star esper solider, an existence that possessed the power of darkness, Han actually got all his energy absorbed by an egg that was the size of a large fist. This was definitely unthinkable.
Pa~
Finally, when Han felt extremely exhausted and was unable to cope anymore, this egg just stopped sucking out Han’s energy. The spherical egg looked a bit less transparent and darker in color, but gradually, some faint light began being emitted by the egg.
Han recalled his memory for the last few minutes, as if he was tightly bitten by a devil. His whole body shuddered and he felt a chill down his spine.
There was no doubt, although Han was not clear about what kind of creature was actually in the egg, that thing was definitely not something good and it possessed an incredibly strong power!
“Your Majesty, you worked hard. Let me help you get in and take a rest.”
Kunlun helped Han who looked like he was going to crumble any second, led him to a room, put him down onto the bed, and also carefully removed his shoes for him, then covered him with a blanket.
Soldiers with source energy had very strong spiritual strength, and even if they didn’t sleep for a month there wouldn’t be any problem. But at this moment, don’t know what happened, the moment Han’s head touched the pillow, an irresistible sense of sleepiness immediately swarmed in, and his eye lids were struggling to keep open.
“I can’t sleep, can’t sleep!” Han strongly pinched his arm, being this deep in an unfamiliar and dangerous situation, sleep could mean death.
But unfortunately, the sense of exhaustion and sleepiness overwhelmed everything, even the willpower that Han was so proud of collapsed, and soon, Han closed his eyes and became sound asleep.
Shua~
That inexplicable strange smile appeared again on Kunlun’s face. He smiled as he took a look at Han who’s trapped in deep sleep, and whispered, “Go to sleep, Your Majesty, for our little baby.”
Turned around, Kunlun left the room, locked the door from the outside and sped away……
Han had a dream, a terrifying dream.
In the dream, a creature strong enough to destroy the universe came out of the black spherical egg, opened its giant mouth filled with large fangs and swallowed Han.
Ceng~
The nightmare caused Han to sit straight up, sweating profusely.
Looked around, he was inside a bedroom. There was no window, and all 4 sides were solid alloy walls, black, cold, silent.
Han laid in bed, resting his fingers on his dimensional ring and tried to remember everything that happened. He remembered that strange egg, and also the feeling of having his dark energy sucked empty. That feeling was way too awful, as if he lost something very important.
By now, Han actually had some kind of regret, regret that he didn’t do more research on the dark net. There were probably a lot of resources he could access to know more about the extinction domain and he didn’t even touch them.
Now that he’s stuck in such a dangerous situation, Han realized that the dark net was honestly the largest treasure in the Milky Way Galaxy. When encountering danger, those Milky Way conventional weapons and martial arts were not enough at all. If it wasn’t for Night Walker and Pathless Origin who prepared those illegal little gadgets, he would’ve died shortly after entering A-19.
It turned out, the only way to fight evil, was to be more evil!
And where can you find existences that were more evil?
On the dark net!
But to be honest, Han couldn’t be blamed for not spending more time to do research on the dark net. After all he was way too busy, problems and businesses one after another, Han was like the ocean wave (TL: Han Lang’s second word means wave), there were a lot of things that were not up to him. He was just forced to move on by so many things and unknowingly got himself into the situation he’s in today.
Just after Han had some random thoughts, the bedroom door was pushed open, and the Kunlun that looked like a man-sized dark beast walked in with a humble face. He saluted and said, “Your Majesty, you are awake. I saw you were very tired, so I prepared some food that can help replenish your dark energy. Please come with me to dine.”
Han touched his belly and realized that he was indeed very hungry, so he nodded, got off the bed and followed Kunlun to the hall.
He saw many strange black paste blocks on the table, much like Poria Cream. Black, sliced into little squares, surmounted with fine little silver forks.
Han sat in front of the table, used the silver fork and picked up a piece. He put it in front of his nose and sniffed. It had a very odd medicine odor. Han was considered to have studied medicine after Night Walker for two and a half days, but with his knowledge, he couldn’t tell what this black paste was at all.
“Your Majesty, this was your favorite food in the past. Perhaps because of the long storage time, it tastes a little less rich, but my resources are limited, so I could only offer you this much.” Kunlun seemed to want to explain something.
Han nodded.
For someone that studied pharmacology, Han was very clear that humans have physiological instincts. For example, energetic young man will get excited when seeing young and beautiful girls, or guys, and people might really crave for meat for a period of time when other times they feel nauseated when they see meat and only want to eat fruit and vegetables. These were due to physiological instinct.
At the moment, when Han saw the black odd paste, he actually felt an appetite for it, and that meant at this moment, his body needed some substances or nutrients inside the paste, even though Han didn’t really know what these things actually were.
Han placed one of those black paste blocks into his mouth. It melted immediately and Han immediately felt an increase in energy.
This feeling was kind of like taking high level source energy medicine pills, but those pills refilled source energy while this black paste replenished dark energy.
One couldn’t think too much about whether it was safe to eat anymore. Han ate a whole plate of the black paste blocks in one breath, and the feeling of replenishing power was a comfortably running through his body.
“Another one.” Han pointed at the empty plate and said.
Kunlun was suddenly shocked, looked at Han unbelievably, and also had a look that he wanted to say something but couldn’t.
“Is there a problem?” Han slightly frowned and asked.
“No, no problem, I will go get some more right now.” Kunlun forced a smile and said.
Soon, another plate of black paste blocks was served.
“Another plate.”
“It’s…… Well, wait a moment please. “
“Another plate.”
“You still want to eat?
Just like that, Han didn’t stop until having 5 plates. Looking at Kunlun’s face, he looked really sad, like Han ate something really precious to him.
Seeing how Han didn’t say another plate, Kunlun let out a long breath. He finally relaxed, went to that mysterious room and took out that mysterious black egg and put it on the table.
“Your Majesty, I see that you are in a good mood today, whether or not this little guy can hatch early, it will depend on you.” Kunlun said to Han.
Every time he took out the egg, Kunlun’s attitude was like a request, but it also looked like he was not going to take no for an answer.
Han thought for a bit, started channeling his power of darkness and placed his fingers on the shell of the spherical egg.
Shua~
That feeling struck again. At that moment, Han felt that the dark energy in him had never been that full, but the little guy inside the egg was even more merciless. Han’s dark energy storage was nowhere as much as the amount that the egg wanted to absorb.
After only a few minutes, Han felt dizzy again, and his physical energy was completely depleted.
Then, that greedy little thing inside the egg reluctantly let go of Han, and like yesterday, Kunlun helped Han to get back to the bedroom again. The moment Han’s head touched the pillow, the exhausted him went into deep sleep again.
Turning around and leaving the bedroom, Kunlun locked the door again and also told two dark raptors to watch outside of the bedroom.
“That was the precious pure dark energy, he actually ate that much at once? Sigh, it really breaks my heart.”
“Sigh, whatever, in order for the little guy to hatch quickly, I will just let him eat. After all, the more he eats, the faster he dies, the poison of darkness is not a joke.” Kunlun mumbled for himself.
But Kunlun didn’t know, Han never only had one card in hand. Aside from Void End and the Power of Darkness, Han also has an unparalleled level of toxin resistance!
