287: Chapter 171 Star Network Code 287: Chapter 171 Star Network Code Above the Inheritance Land, sudden sounds of falling debris echoed from within the ruins.
A purple ray pierced through two walls before it stopped, showing that Ye Cang had just released his Violent Spirit Technique.
âElder Ye did great!â
Brother Hero couldnât help but clap and praise.
Seeing Ye Cang successfully execute the Violent Spirit Technique, he couldnât help but want to try it again.
However, it was a pity that he had used up all his Dark Energy in the previous practice.
âHmm, not bad.â
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and then provided some guidance on how to increase the hit rate by controlling Dark Energy during the release.
However, he couldnât say much about this technique, as it mostly depended on individual proficiency and affinity with Dark Energy, and advice from others wasnât very effective.
Zhang Xiaoman flipped his hand, and purple light shone from his fingertips.
He raised his hand and fired, a beam swiftly penetrated four or five walls in front and shot straight into the sky.
âHoly moly!
Brother Man, is yours that thick?â
Brother Hero couldnât help but exclaim; Zhang Xiaomanâs ray of Violent Spirit Technique was at least twice as thick as Ye Cangâs and its destructive power was even more astonishing.
Ye Cangâs eyes were also filled with surprise, there were some things one could never know until they tried them personally.
The speed and power of Zhang Xiaomanâs Violent Spirit Technique deeply impressed him, revealing the gap between them, which increased his respect towards Zhang Xiaoman.
To everyone, Zhang Xiaoman, being the Star Lord and their leader and semi-mentor, naturally possessing such a powerful Violent Spirit Technique was not surprising.
However, Zhang Xiaoman knew that the Violent Spirit Technique, unlike the scalable skill of Dark Energy Shock, had fixed power unless its formula was altered.
The stronger killing power he possessed was merely due to the effect of the Star Ring in his hand.
The Soul Ring from his mother doubled energy damage upon activation, and as the Master of the Stars, he could also benefit from this amplification.
Seeing the admiring look on everyoneâs faces, Zhang Xiaoman did not bother to explain; he couldnât possibly reveal that he wasnât that strong and that it was all thanks to his powerful equipment.
Checking the time, there were still a few minutes to ten oâclock.
Zhang Xiaoman inquired about the current location of the Star Rank Anti-gravity Car, knowing it was about to arrive, he prepared to take the group to wait near the Final Gate.
Having the Star Rank System as an assistant made some tasks much simpler.
For instance, previously controlling the Anti-gravity Car for unmanned driving required direct positioning and commands from him, the owner.
But now, with this intelligent system, he only needed to convey his intent directly to the Star Rank.
Once authorized, the system could even remotely control the Anti-gravity Car to use its armed mode to aid him against enemies.
There was no denying that this indeed made things much more convenient.
Brother Hero and Ye Cang were both dressed in the Daring Clothes today, the green with golden trim design had no ostentation but its unique design was indeed eye-catching.
The style, imbued with a deep sense of history, could impress even those who had never engaged in clothing design.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man.
After Brother Hero put on such clothes, his entire demeanor changed immediately.
Even his chubby appearance seemed much slimmer, and the enhancement in his essence, energy, and spirit was clearly visible.
As for Ye Cang, the old man looked a few years younger after he had donned the Daring Clothes.
Combined with his weather-beaten aura, he resembled those âsect elders with profound backgroundsâ described in novels.
âBrother Man, should I reveal my real name to the newcomers, or just tell them my codename?â
Brother Hero asked, appearing quite nervous.
On hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman glanced at him and said:
âDo you think there is any difference between your codename and your real name?â
They were discussing an option in the personal information interface of the Star Network Terminal, the userâs codename within the Star Network.
This codename was self-assigned, usually displayed during calls, in communities, and other modules.
Of course, this couldnât be used to hide oneâs identity.
Others could still see the real name when they clicked on the codename.
Zhang Xiaomanâs codename was naturally âJi Xing.â
Ye Cang used his Taoist name, called âYe Xuanyi.â
Lin Sisi had chosen for herself the codename âPainter.â
As for Brother Hero, this guy directly used his nickname, his codename in the Star Network was âHero.â
Thatâs why Zhang Xiaoman had made that sarcastic remark about him.
âUhâŠâ
Brother Hero paused, then scratched his head awkwardly and whispered:
âIâm just used to it, you see.
I originally wanted to go by âBrother Hero,â but then I thought it might seem presumptuous and make people want to hit me, so I intentionally dropped a characterâŠâ
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and shook his head, then resumed the earlier conversation:
âActually, whether or not you have a codename doesnât really matter.
Its main purpose is just to prevent confusion during communications when names are duplicated.
All members of the Star Alliance are comrades fighting against evil together; thereâs no need for secrecy.â
Looking at the time, he continued:
âWell, itâs getting late, they should be arriving soon.
Brother Hero, youâll have to go to the Final Gate to pick them up.
I need to go back and check the Awakening materials to see if there are any oversights.â
At this point, Ye Cang said, âStar Lord, I will go with him.
Iâve been sitting all morning; itâs time for some exercise.â
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him; the man didnât look like a nonagenarian at all, and he moved without any stiffness.
Sometimes, when walking together, he would often forget the old manâs age of ninety-two and treat him like an ordinary elderly man.
Seeing that he wanted to go, Zhang Xiaoman didnât stop him, simply politing a phrase and said:
âThatâs fine, Elder Ye, you can go and keep an eye on this guy, lest he creates some chaos by himself.â
âItâs just picking up a person; what chaos could I possibly createâŠâ Brother Hero muttered quietly in response.
At that moment, the voice of Star Rank chimed in again.
âStar Lord, the target has passed through the Shield and is expected to reach the destination in one minute.â
Zhang Xiaoman acknowledged and then said to the two, âThey have arrived.
Just use the hearthstone to get there; it saves walking such a long distance.â
Brother Hero and Ye Cang nodded, each pulling a hearthstone from a specially made pocket in their Daring Clothes, then proceeded to carve it with Dark Energy.
