GDK 738: Lucrative Post

Han Shuo had not deployed Invincible Omen Body over his entire body as he knew that Andrina had practiced restraint in her attacks. Even if he was stuck, the attack wouldn’t have killed him.

Han Shuo was overjoyed because the demonic yuan in his body automatically activated to form Invincible Omen Body when Andrina’s attack struck on his chest, firmly defending his body against the attack. With a big smile, he asked, “Hit me again, but don’t use too much power!”

At this point, Han Shuo’s body had been stressed to its limits and he could no longer use Cauldron Spirit’s energy without injuring the demonic infant. Therefore, Han Shuo asked Andrina to use less power.

Pow! Yet another hit landed on Han Shuo’s chest.

An enormous force overcame him. It was as though a mountain had struck him in the chest. He was forced to take multiple steps backward. A mild salty-sweet flavor filled his mouth before a line of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

“Huh?!” Andrina was shocked. Her figure turned fuzzy and at the next instance, she was beside Han Shuo, holding him from falling further. She asked in a condemning voice, “Why didn’t you block the attack?”

Han Shuo wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and explained, “I’m alright. I’m just testing the endurance level of my body.” Strangely enough, this time, when Andrina’s attack landed on his body, the Invincible Omen Body did not automatically deploy. That was why he suffered slight injuries.

What’s going on? It worked just now. Why isn’t it working now? Han Shuo was dumbfounded .

“Akley, come here and hit me for a while. Don’t use too much power!”

Although Andrina had used merely a small fraction of her power in the attack, as her strength was immense, Han Shuo had nonetheless suffered a little bit from it. Akley’s strength was nowhere near that of Andrina’s and he couldn’t do any real harm to Han Shuo. It would be much safer to have Akley do the test instead.

“Are you a masochist now?” asked Akley. He arrived beside Han Shuo somewhat unwillingly before suddenly launching pitter-pattered attacks on Han Shuo. Although the attacks seemed ferocious, Akley had deliberately reduced the power and it wasn’t all that damaging.

“Stop!” Han Shuo softly cried out. Dang it, not working still! He was puzzled. The Invincible Omen Body did not automatically deploy when Akley bombarded him with attacks as packed as raindrops in a rainstorm.

“What the hell is he doing… Has Bryan turned into a wacko…?“ Akley mumbled to himself before he waved his hand unenthusiastically and said, “I’m leaving. You play with yourselves.”

“Bryan, what exactly are you doing?” Andrina asked Han Shuo in a baffled manner after seeing that Han Shuo was pondering about some issues. Given his bizarre performance, Andrina felt that Han Shuo hadn’t been acting quite right.

“Nothing, it’s just that I ran into some trouble related to the energy I cultivate in,” Han Shuo casually answered before he said smilingly, “Alright, Andrina, go do whatever you want and let me be alone.”

“Alright then, I’ll go play with sister Fanny. She has now reached demigod strength with the help of an Origin Crystal. From the looks of it, she will become a basegod in just a few years!” Andrina remarked before leaving the gymnasium.

Those mortals from Profound Continent were all unusually talented. Using the enormous resources provided by Han Shuo, being on this outstanding place called Elysium, and having been extremely hard-working in their cultivation, they had been advancing their strengths at lightning speed. For example, Candide, previously a dark grand magus, took little time in advancing to a sacred magus. He was close to reaching demigod realm. Han Shuo was very proud of the effort they put into cultivation and their achievements.

Bollands and Sanguis who cultivated in demonic arts had not stopped advancing their strength during the time Han Shuo was away from Profound Continent. This was especially the case for Sanguis. Thanks to his unique body, he managed to advance in the cultivation of Bloodgod Mantra at an astonishing rate. At this point in time, Sanguis had learned to control the blood inside his enemy’s body as well as to transform his blood into bloody shadows that could attack others.

Han Shuo had placed most of his attention on Bollands and Sanguis. He would answer and explain the difficulties they met in their cultivations and even refined several types of special medicinal pellets for them, allowing their strengths to increase substantially within a short time.

After Andrina left the gymnasium, Han Shuo continued turning over his mind about why the Invincible Omen Body did not automatically deploy.

After thinking for some time and practicing Invincible Omen Body for a moment, he still couldn’t find where the problem lied. He then decided not to occupy his mind with this issue any longer. He also decided that later in time, he would test it again while his strength was boosted using Cauldron Spirit’s energy.

“Carmelita came looking for you!” Soon after walking out from the gymnasium, Han Shuo saw that Akley was leading Carmelita over to him.

Carmelita had finally come out from secluded cultivation. Her eyes glistened as soon as she saw Han Shuo and she shouted excitedly, “You rascal, so it turns out that you are actually a powerful expert! Come, come, let’s have a friendly battle. I have heard about how you kicked Portlem’s ass. Very well done! I have wanted to do so myself long ago. That asshole did a lot of sordid deeds before he was a highgod. It only got worse after he cultivated to highgodhood. Again, nice work!”

“I have just trained with Andrina and I’m exhausted now. Maybe next time!” Han Shuo declined Carmelita’s invitation before his face turned dark and he asked, “That asshole, has he left the Sainte Residence?”

“No, but he will be returning to his home soon,” Carmelita seemed to know what Han Shuo was thinking and so she hastily advised, “But you must not attempt to do anything to Portlem at my Sainte Residence. He is always around his uncle Doyalo. Charlotte would be nearby as well. You and Andrina wouldn’t be able to defeat them. Besides, they are inside the House of Sainte. We cannot just sit and watch if you attack them. You better give up on this thought and find another way!”

Han Shuo knew that it wasn’t realistic to attack Portlem within the City of Shadows. After hearing her advice, he put on a faint smile and nodded, saying, “I know your House of Sainte’s stance. I will not make things any more difficult for you all.”

“Bryan, I have come here to deliver you a piece of very, very good news!” said Carmelita.

Han Shuo raised his brows and asked, “Very good news? What is it?”
