Racial ascension also has the effect of changing talents. After completing the evolution, Han Xiao's racial talents will also change.
[Advanced Void Travel] remains a common talent for Void species, while the three Chaos Observer -specific talents, [Void Vision - Observer], [Chaos Body Release], and [Observation Mark], have been replaced with the abilities of Void Twister.
The three new talents are [Void Degeneration], [Twist Void], and [Void Ripple].
[Void Degeneration] is a buff-type ability. Because the cells are modified by void energy, the Void Gene are strengthened. By burning energy with the "void" attribute, one can enter a burst state, which increases all attributes and strengthens the void attribute of the energy.
Han Xiao's appearance at this moment, with his silver skin, blue patterns, and black eyes, was a manifestation of the ability he had activated. He looked very empty... no, more like a void.
The Void Twister's signature talent is [Twist Void], which affects reality by manipulating the Void Dimension. It is a large-scale area-of-effect (AOE) attack that consumes a lot of mana, requiring constant mana burning to maintain its power. It can also inflict a mental shock on enemies within the damage range.
With his current strength, the range and power of [Twist Void] are considerable, and it can be used as a regular combat tactic in battles of the same level.
The vortex at this moment was a phenomenon that Twist Void and affected the outside world. It caught Stefan off guard, making her spin around so much that her brains almost spilled out.
[Void Ripple] is a single-target damage skill that compresses Twist Void, concentrating its power and resulting in extremely high burst damage. Even Han Xiao, after seeing the theoretical damage value, couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart—most of this ability deals true damage.
"Chaos Observer primarily focus on support abilities, while Void Twister are purely combat-oriented, involving spatial abilities and excelling at destruction," Han Xiao thought to himself.
Most of the Void Twister ' abilities are related to space, and with the changes brought about by the infusion of void energy, this racial evolution has brought a total of four abilities. Moreover, this is a leapfrog evolution, with a significant increase in potential and aptitude, and a large boost to his attributes.
Han Xiao gripped the Void Dimension with both hands, maintaining the vortex that Twist Void, taking this opportunity to observe the changes in attributes after the advancement.
Each racial ascension is a watershed moment in terms of strength. He calculated that this leapfrog evolution, plus the fifteen consecutive level increases, brought him a total attribute boost of +132 Strength, +224 Agility, +220 Endurance, +507 Intelligence, +169 Mysticism, +34 Charisma, +5850 Vigor, and +11300 Stamina.
The results are amazing!
Han Xiao was extremely satisfied and glanced at the attribute panel.

[You're an A+ level mechanic... too bad your brain is full of muscles.]
Damn it! My head is full of wisdom, okay?!
Han Xiao curled his lip, not bothering to argue with the note.
"Level 195, finally reached A+ level."
Han Xiao glanced at his experience points; leveling up fifteen times in a row had cost a huge amount of experience. At this stage, each level up was an astronomical sum.
He estimated that the remaining experience would be enough to level up about ten more times.
Reaching A+ level would cause his combat power to skyrocket. Before advancing, he could defeat about 90% of the Calamity Grade opponents. Now, Han Xiao estimates that there are few people of the same level who can make him wary.
I'm already considered one of the top-tier Calamity Grade!
However, as the saying goes, one may talk a lot of nonsense, but keep one's true intentions hidden. For the time being, Han Xiao has no intention of provoking any Beyond Grade A.
A level 195 is comparable to a top-tier Calamity Grade, but he himself might only reach Beyond Grade A level around level 240. Just that difference of several dozen levels was enough to discourage Han Xiao from causing trouble.
This is the later, dozens of levels! The level difference between them is much greater than in the early stages!
"With my current strength, I can only be a minor player among my peers at most." Han Xiao remained calm and was not prone to arrogance.
At this moment, having exhausted most of his strength, Han Xiao stopped Twist Void. The vortex still existed, but its speed had slowed down. Without Han Xiao's void energy pulling her, Stefan regained control of her body, immediately broke free from the vortex, and instantly shot out of the sea.
Han Xiao followed behind her and slowly flew into the sky.
When Vilton and the others saw the two finally set sail, they all looked over and were immediately shocked. Han Xiao was burning with silver flames all over his body, looking like a martial arts master, while Stefan was soaking wet, covered in wounds, and looked very disheveled, with lingering fear on her face.
Everyone understood; it was clear that the two had fought a fierce battle underwater. Black Star had used some unknown ability to create such a commotion, and it seemed that Stefan had suffered a great loss.
"Superior!"
Han Xiao led his mechanical legion in a fierce charge, giving Stefan a chance to catch her breath.
His strength increased dramatically, and he recovered his condition through advancement, immediately breaking the fragile balance of power between the two sides and sounding the horn of counterattack!
The increase in intelligence attributes has further enhanced the combat power of the mechanical legion.
Boom boom boom--
The battle resumed, Han Xiao once again entered the fray, immediately turning the tide of the stalemate.
After advancing to the next level, he immediately suppressed Stefan and still had the strength to support his other teammates, single-handedly controlling the rhythm of the battle.
The scales of victory are slowly tipping.
Stefan felt the pressure increase dramatically, completely putting her on the defensive. Her face was filled with fear; she couldn't understand why Black Star, who had just fought her to a draw, had suddenly become so much stronger. Could this be his hidden trump card?!
Could it be that he can grow stronger through battle, rapidly maturing in combat?
She remembered that there were similar fighting races in the universe, and that what couldn't be killed made them stronger.
Is Black Star actually this kind of person?
That explains it. No wonder Black Star's rise to power was so short-lived. He must truly be one of those exceptionally gifted warriors!
Stefan's mind raced with speculations. She glanced back at her battered and bruised teammates, and her resolve wavered.
Everyone, including her, was exhausted, but Black Star was still full of energy, and the helpers he had called in were also very troublesome. After fighting for so long, Stefan still saw no hope of capturing Black Star.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Stefan decisively decided to retreat and called to her teammates to leave the battlefield.
However, after several hours of fierce fighting, Stefan and the others were exhausted. If they chose to fight head-on, they could have held out for a long time, but once they had the intention to retreat, their momentum would be lost, and they would immediately lose all their advantages and be entangled by Han Xiao, whose combat power was at its peak after his advancement.
Han Xiao, along with Vilton and the others, were like a group of shrewish little devils. They wouldn't let you get out of their beds until they were completely drained. Stefan and the others fought and retreated, entering a vicious cycle where the more they tried to retreat, the more passive they became. They felt completely drained and unable to escape.
But a direct confrontation would only lead to a slow death, so Stefan had no choice but to retreat. Only then did she realize that she was in a dilemma. In the several hours of stalemate, Black Star had exhausted too much of their energy, and the situation was beyond repair.
If the enemy had retreated from the beginning, Han Xiao really wouldn't have been able to hold onto Stefan and her group. But now that they're thinking about escaping... it's too late!
Han Xiao was well-versed in the tactic of slowly boiling a frog; now it was time to put the lid on the pot!
He didn't want these dangerous guys to get away; who knew what kind of trouble they'd cause next?
By the time Stefan realized what was happening, they had nowhere to escape!
The battlefield gradually shifted to land, and Stefan and the others finally reached a critical point.
Han Xiao immediately activated his slaughter mode!
Bang!
With a single punch, the severely wounded mage was struck. Void Ripple surged into the target's body, causing him to shudder violently. His body twisted like a pretzel, spurting out a spray of blood. His health points dropped to zero, and he fell into the rift.
Call out!
A Psionic Energy shockwave shot into the body of an enemy superhuman. A dark blue ball of light expanded from his body, and with a loud bang, the man exploded from the inside out, turning into a shower of blood!
Thump!
A heavy knee strike landed on a martial artist's groin. Suddenly, a large number of active nanoparticles appeared on the knee, transforming into a high-frequency particle vibration blade. As the knee thrust into the martial artist's weakened body, the nanoblade rapidly deformed the moment it entered. The next moment, countless alloy spikes emerged from the inside out, piercing through the muscles, as if spikes had suddenly grown all over his body.
It lasted only a moment before Han Xiao withdrew swiftly, the nanoparticles retracting as well. All the thorns on the man's body "retracted," and blood gushed out from countless small holes, falling like a tattered sack.
One by one, the Calamity Grade were cut down by Han Xiao, leaving only Stefan to put up a stubborn resistance. Her strength was indeed astonishing; even alone, she caused considerable trouble for the others with her desperate efforts.
However, one hand cannot clap.
Stefan severely injured three of her henchmen; this was the last trouble she created, and she too was defeated by Han Xiao, without exception.
Despite being injured, several henchmen managed to hold her firmly in place, preventing her from breaking free.
Han Xiao pinned the barely clothed Stefan to the ground, relentlessly unleashing Psionic Energy shocks that blasted her face repeatedly. The aftershocks created craters hundreds of meters deep in the earth. Under the control of Vilton and the others, Stefan was powerless to resist and could only let Han Xiao ravage her body.
Han Xiao was having a blast, shooting them all away was the charm of ganging up on them!
Stefan was eventually mortally wounded by the explosion, unable to move, her chest rising and falling slightly, barely clinging to life.
Han Xiao didn't kill her. He felt that keeping her alive would still be useful, and besides, Stefan was a boss -Grade SS character, so taking her back and making her into a potential asset was worthwhile.
Stefan felt her eyelids grow incredibly heavy. Before losing consciousness, she mustered her last bit of strength and glared at Han Xiao with resentment.
When setting up the ambush, she never considered the possibility of her being killed here.
"Black Star..."
Stefan stared intently at Han Xiao Han Xiao, etching his image into her mind, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
The entire venue fell silent, with only dust drifting in the air.
"Finally won." Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, only then feeling the overwhelming fatigue surging through his body. All he wanted to do now was lie down and get a good night's sleep.
To be fair, Stefan's trap was indeed very threatening. If I hadn't called for help beforehand, I might have really been tricked. If I had advanced earlier and hadn't actively chosen the battlefield without Observation Mark, Black Star City would definitely have been destroyed.
Unfortunately, the battle was over, and the outcome was already decided.
Stefan's squad, wiped out!
"Thank you for your help." Han Xiao turned to Vilton and the others and nodded in thanks.
"You're welcome."
Vilton swallowed hard, not daring to be negligent. He had originally had some ulterior motives, but now he was only wary of Han Xiao.
This time, it wasn't as astonishing as directly confronting the eight Vanguard Officers of the War Realm, but in this battle, how many Calamity Grade did Black Star kill?!
Last time, Black Star proved its resilience, but today, Vilton witnessed Han Xiao's destructive power for the first time.
Just thinking about it sent chills down Vilton's spine.
Fortunately, Black Star is our ally... Vilton secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Nagokin looked grief-stricken; one of his comrades had been killed. Han Xiao couldn't offer any comfort, so he patted him on the shoulder.
Goddora sent people to help him, but a Calamity Grade enemy was killed in the process, which was a significant loss for Goddora. Han Xiao felt apologetic and remembered this favor. He secretly considered how to compensate Goddora and deepen the bond between them.
He's not the kind of person who takes other people's help for granted.
Relationships are something that can only be maintained through give and take.
Just then, Han Xiao suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.
"By the way, we can't rest yet, Phillip. Get the disaster report and tell me the location."
With renewed vigor, Han Xiao transformed into a magnificent rainbow and swiftly disappeared into the distance.
There's no time to relax; he still has to deal with the disasters caused by the battle without stopping. If it's not stopped in time, Planet Aquamarine will also suffer heavy losses.
Vilton and his group were naturally willing to help to the end, so they split up and went to different locations to stop the disaster.
