Chapter 786: Throw a cherry on top (2/2)

Rose was happy that Han Shuo agreed to her demand while perplexed by his instruction. She couldn’t understand why Han Shuo needed her blood to produce a weapon. However, she did not raise her doubt to Han Shuo but readily complied with his instruction.

A single strand of her silky silver hair pierced the skin on her tender left index finger. Drop by drop, guided by the strand of her hair, her blood fell into the glass container. Around two minutes later, the container was half-filled with her red blood. She handed the container to Han Shuo.

After taking the bottle of blood from Rose, Han Shuo began refining Pearls of Annihilation in front of her. He took out all sorts of rare and bizarre rocks before baking them into reddish-brown spheres under an intense flame. The Pearls of Annihilation that were forming were around the size of an eyeball. They were glossy and were faintly shimmering.

Rose’s fresh blood was slowly placed into the Pearls drop by drop. A fiery red light came from the center of the Pearls as though a fire was ignited inside those Pearls. They looked like glossy pearls that contained burning fires. They were eye-catching and beautiful.

Just like Sanguis, Rose seemed very excited and happy when getting their weapons. When Han Shuo placed those Pearls of Annihilation in Rose’s hand, she sensed a very faint but real connection with those Pearls. This was surprising to her.

“As you cultivate in an energy different from mine and your blood has not been condensed through unique means, you will only have a weak connection with these Pearls. However, as weak as the connection is, you can still remotely detonate the Pearls just by…” Han Shuo started explaining to Rose on the method of using the Pearls of Annihilation as well as their powers.

Though that weak connection, Rose could effortlessly detonate her Pearls of Annihilation from several hundred meters away. If used correctly, the Pearls could even be a lifesaver during an emergency.

However, it appeared that Rose had no intention to make practical use of the Pearls. It seemed as though she had taken the Pearls of Annihilation as a magnificent handicraft article. Under Rose’s demand, Han Shuo had no choice but to make holes on the Pearls with his demonic yuan and chain the Pearls into a bracelet using the elastic veins of a magical beast.

Rose was very contended. She constantly fiddled with the bracelet made of Pearls of Annihilation and appeared very happy.

Han Shuo was left between laughter and tears when he saw that Rose had taken the Pearls as an ornament. He wasn’t sure if Rose listened to his detailed explanation of how to use the Pearls. He thought, Women’s minds are indeed unfathomable. She is actually treating this destructive weapon as jewelry just because it looked pretty!

Time passed hurried. Half a month went by. One after another, the participating companies from the other six Corps arrived at Soaring Cloud Mountain Range.

Naturally, those from the House of Sainte, as the ruler of the City of Shadows and the organizer of the event, will not be absent. Wallace, Andre, Carmelita, and others arrived at the Mountain Range.

Three of the Seven Divine Guard Corps belonged to the House of Kinson, House of Kisa, and House of Buller. As the competition could affect the interests of their family clans, members of those three large family clans also came to the Mountain Range as observers. They would usually hang around with their Fourth Corp, Sixth Corp, and Seventh Corp. The Soaring Cloud Mountain Range suddenly turned lively.

Those from the Seven Corps would stay in seven separate regions around the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range throughout the competition. Wallace and Andre had divided and assigned those regions ahead of time. Members and representatives from the large family clans, Wallace included, would stay at the center-most region of the Mountain Range. They were in charge of handling any accidents throughout the competition.

Those newly arrived at the Mountain Range were astounded when they saw Han Shuo’s company. An emotion of vigilance appeared on their faces after they carefully sized up the divine guards of the Fifth Corps.

After having been ground and tempered by the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation, the divine guards of the Fifth Corps gained a distinctive stern and solemn aura. No matter from any angle, they do not look like a company made up of amateurish recruits. The crowd who originally felt that the Fifth Corps was destined to take the last place suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore.

Andre and Wallace inwardly praised in their heads. They became even more admiring of Han Shuo. His ability to train the Fifth Corps divine guards up to this level in such a short time was phenomenal. Even Wallace did not have the confidence of accomplishing this amazing feat.

“It seems that the Fifth Corps might not take the bottom place!” said Wallace after he turned to Andre who was standing abreast.

Andre nodded smilingly. Then, in a somewhat delighted manner, he suggested, “Elder brother, Carmelita is at the age of marriage. Why don’t we throw a cherry on top after the competition?”

Wallace stared blankly for a moment before he asked, “What do you mean?”

“The House of Han is rapidly rising in influence and power. Bryan even can injure Hofs of Hushveil City. If things continue to develop in this trend, it is only a matter of time before their interests overlap with our House of Sainte’s. In the end, the House of Han might leave the City of Shadows. However, if Carmelita is married to the youngster, everything will be easily solved! What do you think, brother?”

Wallace had not considered the possibility before. After hearing Andre’s words, Wallace sank deep in thought.
