  “People with a unique personality usually don’t live long.” Dylan sneered.

  Hearing this, the others looked at him and nodded in agreement.

  Bagnita ignored him, looked around, and said with a deep voice, “We’re all Beyond Grade As. What’s there to be afraid of? Those with a backbone, stand with me!”

  Han Xiao shook his head and realized that he was surprisingly calm, as if he was used to it. In fact, it might feel weird if a Pugilist who was not headstrong appeared.

  He turned and looked at the revivors. With a shrug, he said, “Who else agrees with him? You can step forward.”

  The people exchanged looks and hesitated; no one responded. Instead, they backed away and isolated Bagnita.

  Seeing this, Bagnita frowned, snorted, and said, “Humph, the Beyond Grade As are getting more cowardly with each generation!”

  Dylan tutted and mocked him. “Hehe, you’re trying to provoke us to risk our life to play with you. If a fight really breaks out, you can probably walk out alive. You won’t be the one to die anyway. Just say it out loud if you want others to block bullets for you. We’re all Beyond Grade As here. Who are you putting up a performance for?”

  Bagnita glanced at Dylan and said with disdain, “Idiot.”

  Seeing this, Han Xiao looked back at Bagnita, raised his brow, and said, “Looks like you’re the only one. Do you still want to continue?”

  “No one dares work with me. What else can I say?”

  Bagnita snorted and put down his crossed arms.

  Han Xiao could not help but laugh and said, “Aren’t you smart, but don’t you think you’re too naive? You tried to incite the other revivors, but when you saw it can’t be done, you gave up and wanted to act as if nothing happened. Do you really think it’s going to be that easy?”

  Bagnita frowned, tightened his arm muscles again, and said, “What do you want?”

  Han Xiao slowly walked forward into the revivors toward Bagnita while saying, “I revived you guys because it’s beneficial for the entire class, not for charity. I have already explained the situation very clearly earlier. We’re on the same boat here… Still, I never thought about sacrificing you guys. I didn’t even force you guys to take any risks and gave you all a choice to stay in the Holy Accord and watch us fight hard for our future. If we win, you guys can enjoy the victory together. If we lose, you guys can still stay hidden and save yourselves.

  “You cannot appreciate us giving you a second life, but you were willing to destroy our whole plan just for your own desire… Of course, you’re free to do that. But since you’ve done it, don’t blame others for dealing with you.”

  As soon as he said that, a sudden change occurred!

  Raging energy erupted, covered with blinding Pugilist flames. Bagnita’s fist landed heavily on Han Xiao’s chest like an asteroid!

  Boom!

  “You knew I’m a Pugilist, yet you still dared approach me. You’re asking for a beating!”

  This thought flashed past Bagnita’s mind. There was no way he was going to wait and do nothing. Seeing Han Xiao’s words were heading toward a dangerous direction, he immediately decided to strike first.

  The next moment, the power of the punch exploded. Dense Pugilist flames gushed out from Han Xiao’s back, turning into a cylinder-shaped energy shockwave that created an enormous hole in the room.

  Boom!

  A blinding beam of light shot out from this galactic base as if an explosion occurred inside.

  In the room, the people were surprised to see how decisive Bagnita was in attacking. Some wanted to help while others wanted to back away and watch.

  However, before they acted, they saw that Han Xiao, who had just been punched heavily, did not even shake. It was as if nothing happened to him. In the blink of an eye, Han Xiao’s hands grabbed onto Bagnita’s head and he raised his leg!

  Bang!

  Bagnita shockingly could not resist such an enormous force at the time. His head was dragged down and intimately hit Han Xiao’s knee. Blood gushed out from his nose, and his brain trembled.

  Before he recovered from the short moment he was stunned, Han Xiao wrapped his one hand around Bagnita’s head and locked him in place, while the elbow of his other hand slashed down on Bagnita’s arched back.

  Kacha!

  The sound of bone breaking appeared in everyone’s ears, and a visible dent appeared on Bagnita’s spine.

  Hiss!

  Many people inhaled with shock. The looks in their eyes changed again.

  Taking one powerful attack head-on just to heavily injure the opponent in exchange… we won’t believe it even if you tell us he’s not a Pugilist!

  At this time, Bagnita finally recovered from the short moment he was stunned. He roared, and the flames on his body erupted again. His muscles bulked up. A dense energy spread instantly, and his attributes shot up in a flash.

  Then, Bagnita grabbed Han Xiao by his waist, kicked back with his legs at full power, and pushed Han Xiao through metal walls one after another. They shot out into space like an asteroid.

  “That’s Polar Channel Flow!”

  The people instantly figured out what happened.

  Relying on the explosive power of the Polar Channel Flow, the combat capability of Pugilists could usually shoot up a small Grade. As the publicly known master in the Polar Channel Flow, its effect on Bagnita was even more incredible. Plus, with his personal improvements on it, its side effects were very limited.

  Bagnita was not a peak Beyond Grade A on his own, but with his explosive power, he was more than capable of fighting a peak Beyond Grade A and earning himself the name of ‘Fist of Polar Channel’. In the revivors’ eyes, he was very strong.

  Although they had just felt how strong Han Xiao’s Energy Rank was not long ago, they had never seen Black Star in combat and did not have a clear idea of it.

  Since there was an opportunity now, the revivors did not help anyone, nor did they stop them—they all wanted to observe Black Star’s strength in combat.

  Most Beyond Grade As were proud, all of them wanted to see how strong this so-called ‘leader of Beyond Grade As’ was and what gave him the confidence to call himself that.

  The revivors were initially expecting a marvelous fist fight, but the change that happened in the next second took them by complete surprise.

  Han Xiao locked his hands around Bagnita too. Right after that, Mechanical Force erupted from all over his body. At the same time, countless mechanical soldiers swarmed out from the galactic base, shrouding the sky, and instantly fired at the two of them!

  Boom!

  Like a newborn Fixed Star, the expanding energy light sphere lighted up the cosmic space!

  As the aftershock of the explosion spread, the protective shield of the galactic shield was activated automatically, barely blocking it out. The entire base was pushed out while heavily shaking.

  The sudden blinding light made everyone narrow their eyes subconsciously. They all looked surprised.

  “Did the two of them both die?”

  “What a violent style of fighting.”

  “By the way, Black Star is a Mechanic? From his body strength, he’s a total Pugilist!”

  The people unavoidably started to worry and looked around. However, they realized that the Holy Accord members all looked very calmed and did not seem to be worried at all.

  “Are you guys not worried for the safety of your partner?” someone asked.

  Beiger turned, glanced at these people, and smiled. “Hehe, something that can kill Black Star probably doesn’t exist!”

  At this time, the light gradually started dissipating. Two closely attached people flew out from the center of the explosion, quickly headed to the base, and returned to the room through the hole.

  Plop!

  The sound of someone collapsing sounded. Bagnita lay on the ground like a dead dog; almost not a single spot on his body was whole. He was heavily injured and extremely close to death.


  Shocked, the people looked up and saw that although Han Xiao was also wounded, his wounds were regenerating at an unbelievable speed, and Han Xiao returned to normal almost instantly. Han Xiao was the one who had brought Bagnita back.

  With a calm face, Han Xiao gestured at Oathkeeper with his mouth.

  “Take care of his injuries. Don’t let him die.”

  The Holy Accord members were not surprised at all. A few of them walked forward and flipped Bagnita’s body over a few times while spraying regenerative potion on him. It somehow looked like brushing sauce on barbequed meat.

  Seeing this, the revivors could hardly believe their own eyes.

  That’s it?

  Did the fight even take three minutes‽

  They were expecting an intense huge battle. None of them ever thought Black Star would thrash Bagnita so quickly.

  Bagnita was no trash Beyond Grade A but a famous Beyond Grade A!

  They already knew that Black Star might be very strong, but they had never thought he would be this strong. It completely surpassed their experience-based expectations!

  No wonder he dares call himself the ‘leader of the Beyond Grade As’. He’s indeed qualified for that…

  This thought flashed through the minds of many of them.

  Han Xiao stretched his neck and the muscles that felt a little sore from the bombardment massage earlier. He turned and saw the stronger fear in everyone’s eyes and nodded internally. He was quite satisfied with the impact of this battle.

  He was not actually angry. He scolded Bagnita only to intimidate the others.

  This was because he knew that there were definitely more people who had the same thoughts as Bagnita who only did not dare respond because of the situation they were in. In order to get rid of such thoughts, making them afraid of doing anything by just outnumbering them was not enough. He had to make them feel the huge difference in individual strength. To that end, showing them then and there was the most effective method.

  The best way to intimidate them was to crush Bagnita in a short time.

  Therefore, Han Xiao deliberately displayed his intention of wanting to attack Bagnita while going closer to him at the same time. He did all that so Bagnita would fight him at close-range, which would make using ‘die together’ easier. After all, this combo was the most efficient way of defeating an opponent in a short time!

  The biggest advantage he had was the amount of information he had. Anyone who knew about him well would never get close to him, but these revivors did not know about that yet. Therefore, based on his outdated experience, Bagnita did not give up on this ‘opportunity’ and fought him at close range right away, completely falling into Han Xiao’s trap.

  The moment Bagnita chose to fight him at close-range, the ending of this battle was already decided.

  The effects of crushing Bagnita reached Han Xiao’s expectations, shocking the fragile hearts of these people. There was only one more step to take.

  Seeing that Bagnita’s body was gradually recovering, Han Xiao took out the Spacetime Amber and wrapped Bagnita up. He then said coldly, “I won’t kill him, but in order to avoid uncertainties, I shall ground him so that he calms down.”

  The next moment, the Spacetime Amber formed around Bagnita. His body was fixed inside the amber.

  “What’s this?”

  The people were confused. The Holy Accord members on the side explained.

  Very soon, everyone present understood the function of the Spacetime Amber. They all looked shocked and scared—this thing was almost the nemesis of Beyond Grade As.

  This time, Han Xiao turned to them and smiled brightly.

  “The person who brought up the question has already been dealt with. So, everyone, have you made your choice?”

  Their looks differed. Some were smiling bitterly, while some were swallowing their saliva nervously.

  There was no suspense to what choice they were going to make.

  “… I’m willing to stay in the Holy Accord.”

  “Me too.”

  With someone taking the lead, the rest all responded one after another.

  Between the two choices, almost everyone chose to stay in the Holy Accord organization. They did not want to appear in the outside world, at least not before they understood the whole picture clearly, so they did not have to take risks.

  Very soon, Dylan was the only one who had yet to express his choice.

  Han Xiao looked over. “What about you? Are you staying in the Holy Accord or joining the association?”

  Dylan caressed his smooth and white chin, snorted, and said, “I won’t want to miss something this fun… I’ll join the association! If we start fighting the three Universal Civilizations, count me in!”

  Then, as if he felt he did not say enough, Dylan scanned at the other revivors present and snickered. “The books are right, cowardly and ordinary people are always the majority.”

  Hearing this, Han Xiao could not help but to look at Dylan again.

  You really deserved to be slain. Even I want to…

  Chapter 1258 - Test and Welcome

  1258 Test and Welcome

  He asked around. There were only a few people in the second batch of the revivors who were willing to join the association. Han Xiao memorized their names, looked at the Holy Accord members, and nodded.“I’ll leave the rest to you then. You guys usually don’t have anything to do anyway. You should be fine helping the newcomers get used to this era, right?”

  Beiger smiled and agreed on behalf of the others. “Don’t worry, we’re adept at this. We were just in need of new card-mates too.”

  Oathkeeper nodded subconsciously but then suddenly realized, Wait a minute, isn’t this my organization? Why are you the one giving the orders?

  “Er…” Oathkeeper was just about to speak.

  However, before he could, Han Xiao clapped, interrupted him, and smiled.

  “I’m glad we’ve come to an agreement. Let’s get to familiarizing them with this era then.”

  The atmosphere in the place became calmer as he said that. The Holy Accord members led the others and left the room while chatting. Their voices gradually grew more distant.

  Oathkeeper’s lips twitched slightly.

  I, the organization’s leader, have been ignored? Don’t I deserve some face‽

  This time, Han Xiao walked over, patted Oathkeeper’s shoulders, and said, “I’m afraid you’re going to be busy for some time. These revivors are intimidated by me for the time being, but I can’t keep an eye on them all the time. There’ll definitely be someone who wants to sneak away. You have to monitor them closely but not too obviously, in case they get unhappy about it.”

  “Understood…” Oathkeeper coughed. “Ahem, I know what to do. You don’t have to teach me.”

  Han Xiao smiled. He summoned a virtual screen and quickly made a list.

  “This is a partial list of keys for the other Sanctums. You guys are the expert in this. It’s best to keep collecting them. The more keys we have, the better.”

  “You found this in the Third Sanctum?” Oathkeeper looked surprised. “Why didn’t I see it when I went in?”

  “It might be because your authority level is too low…” Han Xiao shook his head and briefly explained authority levels. As for whether Oathkeeper kept it a secret deliberately or not, now was not the time to be concerned over such trivial matters.

  “Alright, this way, opening the Sanctums in the future will be easier.” Oathkeeper was glad.

  Although the information recorded in the various Sanctums differed, the Sanctum revival function worked in all of them. Having the methods to open the other Sanctums meant that the Sanctum revival function could be carried out many times more.

  Accepting the list, Oathkeeper paused and asked, “Have you decided on the timing for the first batch of revivors to appear in public?”

  “Probably in the next few months.” Han Xiao responded.

  “After they appear, the attitudes o
f the three Universal Civilizations will change drastically. Are you ready?” Oathkeeper sounded worried.

  No matter how mentally prepared he was beforehand, as the one who would start this storm, it was impossible for him not to worry. That was especially so when this was most certainly going to be a fuse to cause the structure of the universe to change dramatically, as well as the turning point for all Beyond Grade As. Its influence would be colossal; it might lead the future of the galactic society to a completely unknown direction. He was naturally nervous.

  “I know what I’m doing. This is a step we must take. There’s no need to worry so much.”

  Han Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder.

  Oathkeeper frowned slightly and slowly said, “Also… we hid the truth about the Sanctums, making the others think that they can only revive once. This means that although the three Universal Civilizations will still be concerned, they most probably won’t give up on the idea of the ‘cleansing”… Are we really not going to share the truth about reviving?”

  Han Xiao shook his head.

  “It’s okay. We have to hide this trump card for a while. Although letting this information out will make the three Universal Civilizations cautious, they might change their strategy because of it too. It’s better to give them the wrong idea. After all, being able to revive an infinite number of times… will only be convincing when it actually happens. If the cleansing is really carried out, it won’t be too late to reveal it then anyway. That way, not only will the three Universal Civilizations’ strategy be disrupted, it would also be a surprise to those who died.

  “Plus, fear is the lock of desire. If we tell the truth to the revivors now, it won’t be easy to manage them anymore.”

  Oathkeeper sighed and said, “But you’ll face too much pressure this way… You’re the one who will bring the revivors into the association, so anyone would think you know the truth. The three Universal Civilizations will definitely target you. Will you be able to deal with it?”
