Lawrence looked at Han Shuo with a bit of surprise, then smiled and said, "Very good." His body suddenly moved again, appearing in front of Han Shuo in the blink of an eye. His leg once again kicked out fiercely like lightning, his target still being Han Shuo's lower abdomen.
At this moment, Han Shuo's lower abdomen had been violently kicked, and his body was already in extreme pain. He knew very well that the speed and strength of journeyman knight Lawrence's attacks weren't something that he, who hadn't even passed the "solid" level of magical yuan, would be able to completely defend against.
However, for some reason, Han Shuo didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he felt a vague sense of anticipation and excitement. The magical yuan within his body instantly circulated a few times around his lower abdomen, and Han Shuo immediately felt the pain in his lower abdomen lessen. He was unprecedentedly focused and calmly faced Lawrence's attacks from behind.
Just as Lawrence's kick was about to land, Han Shuo had already pushed off with his feet and abruptly retreated backwards, dodging Lawrence's kick with lightning speed. However, Lawrence wasn't the slightest bit surprised, and his body didn't pause in the slightest. After his kick had missed, he instantly caught up to Han Shuo's retreating figure. A series of punches and kicks rained down on Han Shuo like a torrential storm.
This was Lawrence's journeyman knight realm. When he circulated his fighting aura to his physical strength and attack power, all aspects of his body would completely surpass that of an average strong man. Even with Han Shuo's current agility, he still couldn't avoid being hit repeatedly. Crackling sounds rang out continuously, and apart from Han Shuo's face, his chest, waist, abdomen, legs, and arms couldn't be completely defended and were continuously injured by Lawrence.
As his body was repeatedly hit, the pain in Han Shuo's body grew more and more intense. The speed at which he continuously dodged also began to slow down due to his body's influence. Because of this, he received more and more attacks. In the end, Han Shuo's legs felt as heavy as lead. Every movement he made seemed to weigh more than ten thousand kilograms.
If it wasn't for the fact that Han Shuo had continuously tempered his body with demonic yuan during this period of time, Brian's originally frail body wouldn't have been able to withstand a minute of Lawrence's storm-like attacks. He would've been beaten to death.
The last time they faced Claude and Erick, both of them had used Qi to directly enter Han Shuo's body. The violent fighting aura was immediately enveloped by demonic yuan the moment it entered his body. This was why Han Shuo's physical body didn't suffer too much damage.
Han Shuo hadn't suffered too many injuries after having his fighting aura enter his body twice. This caused Han Shuo to faintly look down on these warriors and knights. But after being beaten up so badly by Lawrence, Han Shuo finally understood that his previous thinking was completely wrong.
The reason why he hadn't been injured before was entirely due to the miraculous effects of the demonic yuan. If it wasn't for the demonic yuan within his body, his internal organs would've been completely destroyed when the fighting aura entered his body. No wonder he hadn't died on the spot when Claude's fighting aura had entered his body. Why were so many people astonished? Why was Erick so confident that he would undoubtedly die when his fighting aura entered his body and didn't even bother to examine himself?
Lawrence had now changed the way he used his fighting aura. He didn't directly use the fighting aura to destroy his internal organs, but instead increased the power and speed of his attacks. This way, the miraculous effects of the demonic yuan couldn't be utilized and he could only passively endure it with his physical body.
Bam!
The same kick once again landed on Han Shuo's lower abdomen. Han Shuo stumbled backwards and finally fell to the ground again, unable to withstand the force.
Han Shuo now had two broken ribs and countless other injuries. Apart from the skin on his face that was fine, his entire body had suffered unprecedented damage. Han Shuo's body trembled and he constantly tried to stand up, but every time he stood up, he would sway and fall again.
Now, every time Han Shuo's body twisted, it would bring him intense pain. But at this moment, Han Shuo was actually ecstatic. He could clearly feel that the speed at which the magical yuan circulated was much faster than usual. It continuously flowed to all the painful parts of his body, causing those painful wounds and broken bones to have a strange burning sensation.
Han Shuo understood that his previous judgement had been correct. Breaking through to the "solid" realm was indeed the quickest method. The magical yuan was circulating abnormally now and was continuously repairing his damaged physical body, forging and polishing his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh over and over again, making his physical body more and more resilient in the future.
Although his body was in unbearable pain, Han Shuo was extremely satisfied in his heart. He grit his teeth as he screamed and grinned. He finally forced himself to stand up and looked directly at Lawrence, saying, "I think our deal can continue for a long time."
Lawrence stopped and stood in front of Han Shuo, frowning as he watched Han Shuo's body sway and finally stand up after falling over and over again. As the attacker, Lawrence naturally understood the power of his attack just now. Even an ordinary novice warrior wouldn't be as tenacious as Han Shuo when faced with such a violent attack, even with the protection of fighting aura.
What surprised Lawrence the most was that Han Shuo could still laugh and scream in agony even after enduring such a fierce attack. Lawrence could also feel from Han Shuo's laughter that Han Shuo was truly filled with joy. This made Lawrence feel incredulous.
When Han Shuo said that he wanted a long term deal, Lawrence first started and then smiled faintly, "Brian, you're very interesting. But if you want a long term deal, it'll depend on your body and if you can take it. To be honest, I didn't use my full strength today, nor did I use my sword. I have plenty of gold coins. If you still want to earn money like this, you can come find me anytime next time. We'll keep the same price in the future, five gold coins each time. How about it? "
Nodding, Han Shuo said, "No problem, I'll be back soon!"
"Very good, Brian, you're a very interesting person. I hope you'll recover soon. My attacks will be even fiercer next time, so you better be prepared!" Lawrence changed his clothes as he spoke, put on his sword, and left the training field.
Han Shuo didn't immediately get up and leave after Lawrence left, but rather sat down cross legged and began to use magical yuan over and over again to forge and repair his heavily injured body according to the training methods of magical yuan.
After a while, Han Shuo felt that the strength that he'd lost was slowly returning as the magical yuan flowed through his body. His two legs that had originally weighed over ten thousand pounds also regained some strength. Although his body was still in pain, it was a bit better than before when he'd been completely powerless and in excruciating pain.
Han Shuo grimaced as he moved his body, feeling the pain in his body. He grinned and laughed heartily as he endured the pain in his body. He slowly got up and wobbled his way out of the training field.
"Eh, it's Brian, are you alright?"
Han Shuo had just walked out of the training field when he heard someone exclaim next to him. Turning around, Han Shuo discovered that it was the young warrior Jared who'd kindly advised him in the hall earlier. Jared's tight-fitting robes were a bit dusty and there were some traces of sweat on his forehead and clothes, but he didn't seem to have suffered much damage.
"It's nothing." Han Shuo nodded at Jared with a faint smile and responded faintly.
As a warrior with plenty of battle experience, Jared could tell with a glance that Han Shuo's condition wasn't as unharmed as he'd said. He'd had plenty of experience as a human target and naturally understood that although nothing could be seen from the outside, it didn't mean that the body wasn't injured. Han Shuo's current condition, whether it was his gait or his facial expressions, all indicated that his body was in terrible shape.
Jared quickly approached Han Shuo and reached out to support Han Shuo. He frowned, "You're still saying it's nothing? Your body must be in terrible shape right now. How about this, I'll send you back. It's a good thing you made it out alive. I thought you'd be beaten to death! "
Jared had good intentions, but Han Shuo was now an errand slave of the necromancy major, and a crazy one at that. If he went back with Jared, it would definitely attract some unnecessary trouble.
In addition, Han Shuo didn't want to owe anyone favors. Although his body was in terrible shape right now, as long as he endured it, it wouldn't be a problem for him to walk slowly. Therefore, Han Shuo pulled away Jared's supporting hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Jared. It's really nothing, I can go back myself."
After saying this, Han Shuo was about to leave, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him from afar — Claude.
Claude had a human target behind him and was also walking towards the knight students' training field. It looked like he was also planning on training himself as a human shield.
When he'd come to the knight academy, Han Shuo had already made preparations to meet Claude. Last time in the light magic academy, Han Shuo's Little Skull had almost been smashed to pieces by Claude's attacks. Even Han Shuo's fighting aura had entered his body. If it weren't for the magical yuan wrapping around his fighting aura, Han Shuo's life would've been lost at Claude's hands.
Claude didn't take this matter to heart, and didn't know that the owner of the Little Skull was Han Shuo. However, Han Shuo had already secretly noted down this debt and planned on paying it back in the future. Although he'd long since made preparations to meet Claude, his body was in terrible shape right now. Han Shuo wasn't willing to meet Claude at this time. Otherwise, if he guessed wrongly and Claude took revenge because he was unhappy with him last time, only death would await him in his current physical condition.
When he saw Claude slowly walk over with a sunny smile on his face and turn his head to discuss something with the knight students next to him, Han Shuo couldn't help but rapidly think of a way to avoid Claude.
