Chapter 175 The Return of the Undying

The news of the Undying's return quickly spread, and in the current situation, it received even more attention, causing many forces to feel secretly apprehensive.

Tens of millions of B-grade Supers who could not be killed were a force that no one could ignore. In particular, tens of millions of them were members of the Black Star Army, which made many large forces, including the three Universal Civilizations, vigilant, fearing that the return of the Black Star Army's powerful armed forces would lead to major actions.

However, many forces soon breathed a sigh of relief. These Army Undying ones devoted themselves to their daily work, maintaining order, serving as mercenaries, and exploring everywhere, looking very harmonious, without any major actions.

It was just that every time they disappeared and returned, the Undying's strength would increase, which was an already discovered pattern. Many top forces confirmed through intelligence networks that the Undying's stagnant strength had shown a trend of growth again, and they could not help but feel a faint anxiety.

Although they were only B-grade, the Undying were already terrifying. All forces knew that if the Undying were allowed to continue to grow, it would inevitably have an impact on the existing universe pattern, producing unknown effects, which would not be a good thing.

Moreover, the current interstellar society knew about the existence of the Sanctuary Revival, and unconsciously associated it with the undying nature of the players, leading to wild speculations.

On the Internet, the slightly cooled public opinion became heated again. Interstellar citizens discussed it enthusiastically, giving a lot of guesses. One theory was that the reason Black Star mastered the Sanctuary Revival was because he found clues from the Undying.

This guess was reasonable and received the widest recognition. Countless interstellar citizens felt that they had discovered Black Star's secret.

For a time, almost all forces in the universe offered more generous conditions to the Undying, enthusiastically trying to win them over in order to study the Sanctuary Revival.

However, with the Infinite Consortium's bankruptcy as a cautionary tale, and the version name being "Black Star Era," the vast majority of players rejected the olive branches of small and medium-sized forces, and batches of them defected to Black Star, causing the number of Army players to usher in another surge.

As the saying goes, it's better to be early than late. Many players had missed several versions of the Black Star Army due to various factors. The opening of the new version was a good opportunity to change their allegiance and start anew, and many people did not want to miss it again.

The players' movements attracted the attention of the entire universe, and countless forces were constantly watching, both coveting and fearing.

…

Black Star Army territory, a secret training ground hidden on a barren planet.

On the rocky surface undulating like mountains, two figures were fighting, their speed so fast that they dragged a series of afterimages back and forth, and each collision exploded a ring of air waves.

Bang bang bang—

The two figures were entangled and speeding across the earth, like a loamy dragon stirring up billowing dust. The surging heat carried choking dust and sand, and their fists flew back and forth, martial arts flames soaring. The rocky mountains along the way exploded one after another, rumbling and shaking the ground.

Suddenly, the figure wearing heavy training armor discovered a flaw in his opponent's defense. He raised his elbow and thrust forward, the condensed martial arts flames erupting at the point of contact, instantly knocking his opponent's defensive posture off balance. Taking advantage of the brief opportunity, he suddenly threw out a powerful whip kick, like a battle axe sweeping across, bringing a sonic boom-like air scream, and in the blink of an eye, it struck his opponent's chest.

Bang!!

The other silver figure was hit hard, like a shell fired from a cannon, and shot out with a whoosh, crashing through three rocky mountains and embedding itself in the mountain wall of the fourth hill. With a bang, it shook, rubble flying, leaving a deep pit filled with smoke, and spider web-like cracks spread rapidly across the mountain wall.

"...Not bad."

The silver figure shook his body, and the hill suddenly shattered, turning into a rain of stones.

He hovered in the air, his body like flowing silver liquid metal, the dent in his chest quickly recovering. It was Silver Shadow.

On the other side, his opponent did not pursue. He took off his helmet, revealing a plain face. It was Karrot.

Silver Shadow flew back in front of Karrot and nodded, saying, "Your progress is getting faster and faster. Although it's only been a little over a year, you can probably defeat three of yourself from a year ago. Among the Calamity Grades, your ability is already quite good."

"Is it that good?" Karrot scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He was used to being at the bottom, and now he felt uncomfortable all over when he heard praise.

"Your martial arts potential is the rarest I've ever seen. Given time, your achievements may surpass mine."

Silver Shadow said with emotion.

He had suppressed his strength when sparring with Karrot. Although he only exerted the power of the Calamity Grade, Karrot's performance amazed him, and he actually felt pressure.

When Black Star asked him to teach Karrot, Silver Shadow was a little unwilling, but after a year of teaching, he was truly won over.

Karrot's strength had grown by leaps and bounds. If he was a Calamity Grade with an ordinary template before, now he was at least an elite, close to the Boss Grade. This huge transformation only took a short year!

Silver Shadow saw the potential of Super A Grade in Karrot, so he not only did not reject teaching, but became more and more dedicated, imparting his martial arts experience to Karrot almost without reservation. It would be a good thing for him to become a Super A Grade teacher.

Black Star had extensive connections and was not short of martial arts experts, but this good thing actually fell on his head. Silver Shadow could not help but feel grateful to Han Xiao, thinking that Black Star was promoting him.

However, Silver Shadow taught Karrot wholeheartedly, not entirely out of the mentality of cultivating a junior. He felt happy in his heart when he saw Karrot, and secretly appreciated him. Their personalities were very compatible.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's good teaching," Karrot said with a simple smile.

"It's not all my credit. I also have to thank Black Star. His vision is really accurate. If he hadn't guided me on how to teach you, I might still be clueless," Silver Shadow shook his head.

Han Xiao saw Karrot's growth mechanism through the panel, so he let Silver Shadow train him specifically, first explaining the insights of martial arts, and then high-intensity training. The result was twice the result with half the effort, and the effect was significant, which allowed Karrot to advance by leaps and bounds within a year.

According to the original growth trajectory, Karrot was the type to mature late, but the reason was probably that he was not clear about his own characteristics, and could only slowly explore and accumulate, so he wasted a lot of time. If he had purposeful training from the beginning, perhaps Karrot's rise would not only be no slower than others, but even faster.

From another level, Karrot and Guo Daxia were really similar, hiding extremely outstanding talent under their simple appearance, but they did not meet the best teacher and wasted too much time. If they had practiced the ultimate technique from the beginning, their combat power would have been formed long ago.

The panel could see through a person's shortcomings and advantages, so as to train specifically. It was estimated that there was no teacher in the universe more suitable for teaching students according to their aptitude than Han Xiao.

Not only Karrot, but also hundreds of other Super A Grade joiners were all guided by him, and each had made progress. Almost all of them regarded Han Xiao as a spiritual mentor.

At this moment, a remote projection appeared beside the two of them. It was Han Xiao.

"Your Excellency Black Star."

Silver Shadow and Karrot immediately looked over and nodded in salute.

"How's your training going?" Han Xiao asked with a smile.

"It's improved again compared to last time. He can break through my defense and kick me," Silver Shadow said with a faint smile of satisfaction.

"Yo, not bad. Keep up the good work and strive to step into Super A Grade as soon as possible. When the time comes, I'll find you more teachers so you can learn from everyone." Han Xiao laughed heartily.

He had already figured out the correct way to cultivate Karrot. The biggest obstacle of [Martial Arts Without Limit] was the accumulation of martial arts insights. The shortcut was to communicate with different Super A Grade martial artists, which could quickly improve Karrot's martial arts insights, complete the specialization transformation, and quickly enter the fast lane of upgrading.

After Karrot became a Super A Grade, Han Xiao planned to do so, using his contacts to let those Super A Grade martial artists teach Karrot their experiences, leaving no one behind. With Karrot's simple and steady character, Han Xiao was basically sure that this investment would not lose money, but only make a bloody profit.

After giving some instructions, Han Xiao ended the communication and left.

Karrot exhaled a breath, feeling extremely warm in his heart.

In the past year, no matter how busy Black Star was, he would call every ten days to learn about his training progress, formulate a training plan specifically for him, and invite Silver Shadow, a Super A Grade, to be his teacher. All kinds of performances showed Black Star's high regard for him, and he was not lying to him.

As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm. Recalling the treatment he received from the Empire, even if Karrot was not a petty person, he could not help but sigh that there was simply no comparison between the two.

So much kindness, Karrot kept firmly in his heart. Even if he removed the relationship of idol worship, his sense of belonging to Black Star had already broken through the sky.

Treat me as a national scholar, and I will repay you as a national scholar!

…

Black Star's Palace office, Han Xiao retracted the remote projection, his face full of smiles.

"Karrot is really worth cultivating. He's grown so much in a year. According to this trend, maybe he will come from behind and step into Super A Grade faster than Rothere."

He couldn't be more satisfied with Karrot. It could only be said that he was worthy of being the face of the martial arts system in the future.

Now Rothere was still stuck in front of the threshold of Super A Grade. This step was the most difficult, and he had no idea how long it would take.

In addition, Evans had been cultivated for decades. Because the players did not go online, he did not absorb new abilities. He had been polishing his core ability and improving his rank. Now his strength had also risen, steadily realizing his ability potential and successfully entering the Calamity Grade.

Han Xiao was full of expectations for this "Little Mutant God". The players had returned, and he could finally add new abilities to Evans and match them with specific combat modes.

In addition to these potential stocks, the Army's high-end power scale had expanded several times, with many Super A Grade seeds and many worthy people to cultivate. Talents were abundant.

Oh, right, there was also a bald little baby, Sylvia.

Unfortunately, with Sylvia's potential, it would be good enough to become a Super A Grade seed. There might be no chance to go further... Han Xiao always felt that the position of Chief Officer was more suitable for her.

Han Xiao shook his head, took out the communicator and glanced at it, and pondered to himself:

"Now the outside world has reacted to the return of the players, worrying that if they continue to grow, they will become more and more lawless and shake the order of interstellar society. Thinking like this is actually not wrong, and the seeds of the fuse have already emerged."

In ancient times, there was the saying of chivalry using martial arts to violate the law. Placed on the players, this characteristic was even more exaggerated. The stronger they were, the more difficult it was to manage them. Han Xiao stood in the perspective of the three Universal Civilizations and could understand that the Super power Disaster had its reasons. At least it was very suitable for the players.

"The three Universal Civilizations should be taking action. I always feel that something is going to happen."

Han Xiao rubbed his forehead, his brows furrowed.

At this moment, a black flame suddenly appeared in front of him, quickly expanding into a figure. It was the Oathkeeper's Mental Projection.

Han Xiao looked up at him, his brows raised, "Why didn't you say hello? What are you looking for me for? Have you gathered another key?"

"Not yet." The Oathkeeper's tone was solemn, "Black Star, I have two bad news to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Han Xiao asked curiously.

"Among that group of Avengers, there is a traitor who wants to sell the information of the Covenant and the Sanctuary in exchange for the assistance of advanced civilizations to carry out revenge."

Han Xiao's face sank, "How did it happen? Has the news leaked out?"

"Pan Ergon is chasing and killing him. The information has been intercepted temporarily and has not been transmitted."

Han Xiao frowned, "What about the other bad news?"

"Someone used magic to spy on the Covenant Organization. We traced the source and found that the magic path came from the secondary dimension world. We may have been discovered by someone hidden in the secondary dimension, and we don't know who it is yet," the Oathkeeper said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Han Xiao had a gloomy face, slowly stood up, and put on his cloak.

"Tell me the coordinates, I'll go take a look."
