Chapter 93: Great Formation of the Divine Zombies and Five Elements
Fitch was utterly destroyed this time. He was mercilessly hauled away under everyone’s curses and contemptuous gazes as he continuously called out, “This is an evil plot! I was framed!” Vida said to Fanny before he left, “This filthy piece of scum will never appear in the Academy ever again!”
Everyone kept discussing Fitch’s despicable acts for a long time after he’d been dragged away. Several of the female students’ fury still hadn’t abated as they chattered busily, cursing Fitch. No one sympathized for him.
Fanny was a bit flabbergasted. She hadn’t expected that Fitch would be that kind of person. She even suspected the truth of the matter a bit, but the truth was right in front of her and she had nothing to say. She could only continuously shake her head and sigh.
Having caught the thief, Han Shuo naturally didn’t have to worry about the issue of his space ring being searched. He laughed coldly inside as he watched Fitch caught in his own trap. He’d been asking for it and couldn’t fault Han Shuo for being ruthless. If Han Shuo hadn’t discovered this beforehand, he would most likely be the one facing the crowd’s jeers and taunts now.
This matter made the students buzz with excitement and discussion all day, but Han Shuo didn’t get involved. He didn’t attend class in the morning, but rather headed to the training grounds alone, practicing how to summon zombie warriors over and over again.
Since his direction was correct, he only needed time. After a morning of repeated practice, he finally successfully summoned a zombie warrior. This meant that Han Shuo had added another powerful spell to his arsenal. The manipulation of zombies was much more difficult than skeletal warriors. In order to fully deploy the exceptional offensive capabilities of the buff and clumsy zombies, the technique and familiarity of the manipulator was even more critical.
Han Shuo stayed within the training grounds for the next three days and practiced controlling the zombies with more familiarity. As he stood in the midst of the various obstacles within the training field, Han Shuo summoned a zombie that wielded a heavy iron club. Under the control of Han Shuo’s mental strength, the zombie twisted its body and evaded a few of the obstacles. The iron club in its hand crashed solidly down on a target under Han Shuo’s guidance.
Han Shuo kept careful surveillance on the dark major’s old witch, Camilla. During these two days, the old witch visited the headmaster’s office once, but strong magical pulses were present in the headmaster’s office. Han Shuo was certain that a magical boundary existed within the headmaster’s office.
As a grand magus of space magic, the headmaster possessed extraordinary magic. Han Shuo didn’t dare brashly insert his original demons into her office to eavesdrop. Therefore, he had no way of knowing what Camilla discussed with the Headmaster, and he didn’t know whether or not Camilla had already visited the secret library.
However, judging from the amount of time that Camilla had spent in the Headmaster’s office, Han Shuo felt that Camilla hadn’t paid a visit yet because she walked out a few minutes after entering the office.
“You’re in the training grounds alright, I knew I’d find you here.” Han Shuo had remained within the training grounds this morning while the others were listening to the lecture within the classroom. Fanny suddenly walked in and spoke to him.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you only have classes in the afternoon?” Han Shuo didn’t stop practicing after Fanny had walked in and only responded carelessly, continuing to manipulate the zombie to agilely circle past another obstacle.
“I came looking for you. Eh, you’ve grasped it quite quickly. Heh heh, according to the speed of your improvement, I think you’ll be able to make it into the next stage before too long.” Fanny smiled faintly and complimented him when she saw that Han Shuo could already adeptly control zombies.
She halted, crinkled her slender brows, and then asked in confusion, “Bryan, although your potential is quite good, the speed in which you’re concentrating mental strength shouldn’t be this quick. The meditation of mental strength doesn’t have much to do with the quality of potential, particularly when one is just starting out. Mental strength is slowly increased through accumulation over many months and years. Why are you able to possess the mental strength of a novice mage after just a few months? This is quite queer, just how are you doing it?”
It was natural for Fanny to be perplexed. Han Shuo’s mental strength had increased quickly largely due to the effects of the “Eye of Darkness”. Han Shuo improved with rapid speed without rhyme or reason whenever his mind was about ready to split open from pain. Now that his magical yuan had entered the “molded spirit” stage, the potential of his brain had been unlocked and the speed in which he gathered mental strength increased yet again when he meditated. With the overlapping effects of his training, it would’ve been difficult for his mental strength to not increase in speed of concentration.
Shrugging, Han Shuo said, “How would I know? My body’s quite strange to begin with. Not only am I much stronger than ordinary mages, but the speed at which I gather mental strength when meditating is also quite fast.”
“Can it be that you possess the legendary body of divine favor?” Fanny first blanked, with a look of extreme joy appearing on her face as she spoke with excitement.
Han Shuo was also dumbfounded by her words. He asked blankly, “What’s a body of divine favor?”
“There are an exceedingly few amount of people in this world who are born with bodies different from others. It’s rare for even one of these people to appear out of ten thousand people. Their bodies are different from ordinary people. Some of them have natural aptitudes for training fighting aura, and some are naturally born to become mages.”
“If these people can find the correct realm for them, their accomplishments are often incredibly brilliant. Because these people’s bodies are different from ordinary peoples’, the legends say that they’ve attracted the favor of the gods. Some of the preeminent characters on the Continent now possess these bodies of divine favor. Can it be that you’re one of them too?” An inexplicable light of excitement danced in Fanny’s eyes as she stared at Han Shuo and exclaimed in surprise.
“Perhaps!” Han Shuo knew that the peculiarities of his body were completely attributed to the training of magical yuan. That likely had nothing to do with a body of divine favor. However, Han Shuo naturally couldn’t find any reasonable explanation. If he was tagged with such a label as a body of divine favor, it would be a reasonable excuse.
After Fanny had finished being excited, her face suddenly became solemn and she said, “If this matter is true, then you can’t tell anyone before you become strong enough. This body of divine favor may bring to you untold riches and glory, but it can also lead to your murder by those who harbor evil designs before you’ve fully matured.”
Han Shuo fully understood Fanny’s words. If it was as she’d said, these kinds of people were a priceless treasure to every country, and would be the targets of seizure between countries. Some would also seek to destroy this kind of potential at all costs. Therefore, people with these kinds of bodies were actually quite dangerous.
