Within the warehouse of the hotel, Han Shuo didn't immediately rest, but continued to practice his magical yuan as usual.
The magical yuan within his body followed the path of magical yuan circulation, silently circulating through every meridian, skin, flesh, tendons, and bone under the control of Han Shuo's mind. Han Shuo could clearly feel that after such a long period of practice, both his physical strength and sensory abilities had greatly improved.
Han Shuo persistently and persistently attacked the last bottleneck according to the mantra of the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire". The magical yuan flowed to the palms of his hands, repeatedly attempting to clear the bones, tendons, and meridians of his five fingers. Pain continuously radiated from the bones, tendons, and meridians of his five fingers. Han Shuo's hands spasmed and trembled as two faint lights, one red and one purple, radiated from the back of his hands and the center of his palms, like two weak lanterns.
The pain grew more and more intense as Han Shuo clenched his teeth and held on. He knew that this was a sign that the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire" had reached a critical stage. Whether or not he could clear all the tendons and meridians in his hands and successfully master the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire" would depend on whether or not his willpower could hold on.
The process of the magical yuan attacking the bones in his five fingers persisted for a long time. Han Shuo sat cross-legged, sweat pouring from his body like rain, the veins on his forehead pulsing. His originally peaceful expression now looked a bit sinister and sinister, giving off an incomparably evil feeling.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Han Shuo felt that he was about to faint from the pain, he could no longer suppress the unforgettable pain in his hands. He couldn't help but let out a low roar and flung his hands out unconsciously.
"Pa pa pa …"
Ten crisp sounds rang out from his ten fingers in succession. Han Shuo felt a bit exhausted from head to toe, but the magical yuan flowing to his fingers was finally unimpeded.
Ten purplish-red flames danced on the fingertips of his ten hands in an instant. Ten purplish-red flames shone with breathtaking beauty in the dark storeroom. They were like beautiful flowers that had suddenly bloomed, giving people a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
His palms, along with his five fingers, were dyed purplish-red. The bone patterns on his palms were abnormally clear, and even his skin and flesh shone with a crystalline luster. It was extremely strange.
Overjoyed, Han Shuo couldn't help but let out a low growl. He looked left and right before slowly withdrawing the magical yuan that had flowed into his palms to his abdomen. Without the continuous influx of magical yuan, Han Shuo's hands gradually returned to normal. The ten blooming flames also disappeared without a trace.
Success, this was the result of successfully cultivating the Mystical Glacial Spellfire. Although he was still unable to fully deploy the greatest power of the Mystical Glacial Spellfire due to his weak magical yuan, based on his current accomplishments, Han Shuo was no longer an ordinary person without the ability to protect himself.
The red flames of the Mystical Glacial Spellfire burned everything, while the purple flames were bone-chillingly cold. If an ordinary person were to be touched by it, their internal organs would be burnt to a crisp, or frozen into ice. There would be no hope of survival. When the magical yuan was strong enough, an even more ferocious and enormous purplish red flame could be condensed in the palm of his hand and unleash a terrifying power.
After successfully cultivating the Mystical Glacial Spellfire, Han Shuo's body was drowned in a strong sense of exhaustion, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while.
The next day, early morning.
Under Fanny's lead, a group of twelve gathered at the entrance to the town of Drol. They gathered some food and water from the town of Drol, and all of these items landed on Han Shuo's body in the end.
"What were you doing in Master Fanny's room last night?" Lisa hung a leather bag of water on Han Shuo's body as she approached Han Shuo and asked in a low voice.
It looked like Fanny hadn't told anyone about last night's events. Han Shuo glanced at Fanny from afar and discovered that Fanny was busily giving instructions to the students. He said to Lisa in a low voice, "Nothing much, Master Fanny just wanted to test some necromancy magic and used me as a test subject."
"Huh, don't lie to me. Even if Master Fanny wanted you to test her magic, she wouldn't test the bone arrow spell. This spell is something that only magic apprentices need to grasp. With Fanny's strength as an adept mage, would she test this spell? "Lisa snorted delicately and looked warily at Han Shuo.
"Master Fanny was testing the bone arrow spell. It's just that each spell is divided into five levels. She just wanted to see what level she could use the bone arrow spell with her strength. You can ask Master Fanny if you don't believe me."
Ever since Han Shuo had lied to Lisa, Lisa's attitude towards Han Shuo had indeed changed dramatically. However, women were like this. Even if they didn't like you, as long as they knew that you adored them, they would treat you as their personal property. If you had any ambiguous relationships with others, she would be the first to feel uncomfortable.
Lisa was the same. Although Lisa wouldn't have any thoughts towards Han Shuo, after she "understood" Han Shuo's feelings, she naturally thought that Han Shuo should love her and only her until death, and shouldn't have any dealings with Fanny. Han Shuo had heard people say this before, and it seemed that there was some truth to it now.
"Forget it, you wouldn't dare lie to me anyway!" Lisa looked at Fanny from afar and spoke lightly to Han Shuo, then left Han Shuo's side.
"Brian, let's go. The Dark Forest is lush with trees and shrubs, and the paths are uneven. We can't ride horses anymore, we can only enter on foot. You're carrying too many resources on you, you can't fall behind because there are many fierce magical creatures in the Dark Forest. It'd be terrible if you fall behind and are killed by them. "Fanny looked at Han Shuo from afar and called out loudly.
After yesterday's events, Fanny's attitude towards Han Shuo had changed imperceptibly. Now, Fanny seemed to favor Han Shuo even more, but her original gentle attitude towards Han Shuo no longer existed. She was a bit irritated and rude.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Han Shuo had taken great advantage of Fanny yesterday, and she'd even seen his disgraceful behavior in her bathroom. It was only natural that Fanny would no longer be amiable. As long as Fanny slowly changed her attitude now, it would be a kind of progress.
The town of Drol was abnormally busy during the day. All sorts of stores had opened early in the morning, and merchants and adventurers with sloppy eyes and disheveled clothing walked out from the nearby streets and alleys. These people had all started preparing for work after a night of debauchery.
The merchants and adventurers gathered in groups of three to five, carrying their belongings and setting out from the entrance of the town of Drol into the Dark Forest. They either went to the Dark Forest to capture magical creatures, or traded for resources with some of the rarer races in the Dark Forest.
Under Fanny's incessant urging, Han Shuo's group of twelve packed up their belongings and followed Fanny and Gene's footsteps into the Dark Forest.
The Dark Forest was vast and boundless. Not only were there all sorts of savage magical creatures within, but there were also some rare races. Elves, dwarves, goblins, and barbarians were the main races within the Dark Forest. However, even these races usually lived in the outer layers of the Dark Forest.
The true inner layer of the Dark Forest was filled with all sorts of mysteries and dangers. Some of the largest and most terrifyingly powerful magical beasts lived in the inner layer of the Dark Forest. That was the most mysterious and attractive place in the Dark Forest. Although it was rumored that there were enormous treasures and precious items there, very few people dared to enter. Those who could enter and come out alive were even rarer.
"Follow me, we'll head south." Fanny called out loudly when they'd entered the Dark Forest and started leading the group in a different direction, heading directly south of the Dark Forest.
The paths within the Dark Forest were indeed rugged. All sorts of hard rocks could be seen everywhere, and some towering trees more than ten meters tall with lush foliage could be seen everywhere. Some weak and docile magical creatures on the way smartly hid when they saw strangers. In the beginning, there were many merchants and adventurers heading south as well, but as time progressed, they all identified their own directions and left. They'd all disappeared after a while, and no one knew where they'd gone.
Suddenly, a few hurried footsteps fell into Han Shuo's ears. Han Shuo started and listened carefully. He couldn't help but say, "There's a sound approaching, it doesn't seem to be the footsteps of humans."
"Brian, you're an errand slave. How can you hear danger? What a joke." Bach was the first to laugh loudly and mock Han Shuo.
Ever since Han Shuo had started practicing magical yuan, his senses had become much clearer than before, and he had ample confidence in his ears. The sounds of rapid approach and the soft footsteps weren't something that a two-legged human could make, and it sounded like there was more than one of them.
Han Shuo had understood the dangers of the Dark Forest from Fanny and the others, so he'd spoken up to warn them. However, Han Shuo didn't continue to argue when he realized that his words hadn't attracted the attention of the others.
The group continued walking south slowly, but Fanny was the first to frown after two minutes. She exclaimed in surprise and said, "There are magical creatures approaching. Everyone put down your things and prepare for battle. We're only at the outermost perimeter of the Dark Forest and shouldn't be particularly strong magical creatures, so don't worry too much."
The students all started when Fanny's words left her mouth. They looked askance at Han Shuo and hurriedly put down the things on their backs, forming a ring of defense.
