Inside the shop, Han Shuo spent some crystal coins to purchase many items suitable for beginners. Those so-called divine weapons, which were absolutely rare on the Profound Continent, were clearly marked in the shop, and they weren't expensive at all.
Han Shuo spent only five black crystal coins to purchase sufficient equipment from this shop. He did not purchase any divine weapons for himself and left the shop with Donna.
Not long after the two left the shop, a petite, purple-haired middle-aged man walked into Domo's room. "Mister Domo, I wonder if there's anything wrong with the origin of those divine weapons sold by that youngster. Do you want to investigate?" the purple-haired middle-aged man asked.
Domo's entire body was squeezed into the chair. He lazily shot a glance at the man and said in a displeased manner, "That youngster was brought here by Miss Donna of the Lavers Family. Even if there are any problems, we will bear the responsibility. Master has instructed us not to offend anyone from the five major family clans. Jackson, are you going to go against Master's words? "
"Of course not!" Jackson lowered his head and replied. There was a hint of anger in his eyes. He thought to himself, We are both blacksmiths in this shop, why do you have to be so superior to me? "However, if there really is a problem with the origins of those divine weapons, if we don't handle them properly and they leak out, who will bear the responsibility?"
"What problem can there be with just some low-grade divine weapons?" Domo's face was filled with disdain. He impatiently said to Jackson, "The only valuable items are three midgod divine weapons from the element of light and water. No matter how I look at it, there shouldn't be any problem. Alright, put my name on this transaction. If there really is a problem, I will take full responsibility. Are you satisfied?"
"Since you have put it that way, of course I won't have any objections. Alright, I won't disturb you any further. Go back to your rest, I'll take a look around!" Jackson chuckled mischievously and immediately retreated from Domo's room. He came to a corner on the third floor, found a few guards, and instructed in a low voice, "Investigate the origins of those divine weapons. Be careful. Report to me immediately if you find anything wrong!"
"Understood, Mr. Jackson, we know what to do." The guards were all on Jackson's side and immediately nodded to show that they understood.

Han Shuo and Donna had no idea that Han Shuo was dragged into the matter because of a personal grudge. At this moment, Han Shuo was still strolling around with Donna. With Donna's introductions, Han Shuo gained a deeper understanding of the City of Shadows.
When the two returned to the Lavers Residence, the two guards at the door looked at Han Shuo in amazement. It was as though they felt that it was a great thing for Donna to accompany Han Shuo.
"Young Miss, Young Master Diwei just instructed us to make a trip to Second Master's place after you return." A guard respectfully transmitted a message to Donna.
"Got it," Han Shuo replied amiably. After leading Han Shuo into the Lavers Residence, Donna pointed at the tall building she lived in and said to Han Shuo, "Uncle must want to talk to me about my upcoming mission to the Space Dominion. I'll be heading over first. You can take a rest inside. Don't stand on ceremony. Oh, there's a gymnasium at the back. Some members of the family, divine guards, and cabinet members would sometimes spar there. If you feel bored, you can go and take a look. "
"Alright." Han Shuo was rather interested in the gymnasium of the Lavers Residence. After Donna left, Han Shuo headed straight for the largest gymnasium.
Those who could enter the Lavers Residence were generally not outsiders. The gymnasium was a place for people to spar and learn from one another. It was open to all members of the Lavers Family. Han Shuo did not encounter any obstructions and easily arrived at the gymnasium.
The first thing Han Shuo saw upon entering the gymnasium were four boundary towers. They surrounded the two thousand square meter gymnasium in a quadrangle shape. The four boundary towers created four layers of boundaries around the gymnasium to prevent the gymnasium from collapsing due to the intense divine energy.
The gravity on Elysium was much higher than on Profound Continent. With the additional gravity added to the gymnasium, Han Shuo immediately felt that every step he took had become much more difficult.
There were many people standing around the two thousand square meter gymnasium. Several figures were engaged in intense sparring in several areas of the gymnasium. Divine lights flickered and the Domains of Divinity were in disarray.
Most of the people in the gymnasium were wearing clothes with the emblem of a dark sun. Those people should be members of the Lavers Family. There were also a few people like Han Shuo who were dressed in bizarre attire with all kinds of emblems and symbols. They were pointing at the sparring people and discussing something in low voices.
Han Shuo's arrival did not attract much attention. Those people were either chatting in groups of three or four or sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed in contemplation. It seemed that they had comprehended something during the sparring. No one bothered to disturb them.
After observing for a moment, Han Shuo discovered that there were five midgods. The remaining dozen or so were highgods just like him. Not all of them cultivated in the three major energies of death, darkness, and destruction. There were also a few who cultivated in the energy of lightning, wind, and earth.
One of the midgods who cultivated in the energy of lightning was the most valiant of them all. Despite his young age, he possessed mid-stage midgod strength. His body was surrounded by little snake-like electric arcs. He was as steady as a boulder as he defended against the attacks of two midgods of the same level. He wasn't at a disadvantage in the slightest. Every punch he threw was accompanied by flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder.
"Young Master Teng Fei is truly valiant. As expected of a genius of the Thunder King Family. His Raging Thunder divine energy is too powerful!"
"Yeah, even Young Master Cage and Zico couldn't break through his Lightning Wall. They even had to be on guard against him. How terrifying!"
"…" some of the lowgods at the side softly exclaimed. Their faces were filled with reverence.
The battle between the three midgods at the center of the gymnasium grew fiercer and fiercer. The few lowgods who were fighting in the surrounding areas had no choice but to compress their combat zone under the intense electric field. In the end, all of them stopped fighting and silently observed the intense battle between the three.
Teng Fei was like a flood dragon covered in electric arcs. It was as though he wasn't affected by the gravitational field in the slightest. He streaked across the gymnasium. The electric arcs covering his body grew brighter and brighter. The rumbling of thunder in the gymnasium grew more and more intense. Cage, the second son of Donna's uncle Avery, and that divine guard named Zico kept retreating under Teng Fei's counterattacks.
Bang! Bang! Three claps of thunder exploded amidst the blazing lightning, and both Cage and Zico were blasted back several steps.
"Amazing! Teng Fei, your Violent Thunder Divine Energy is truly ferocious. We are all mid-stage midgods, but the two of us couldn't withstand it!" Cage immediately exclaimed after he steadied himself.
Teng Fei, who was standing as straight as a javelin, gently smiled and said to Cage, "The Violent Thunder Divine Power is extremely explosive in a head-on fight, but if it's a real fight to the death, you guys definitely won't go head-on with you. It's really hard to say who will win and who will lose."
"Young Master Teng Fei is too polite. If it was a one-on-one fight, I would definitely retreat." Zico, a divine guard of the Lavers Family, took a deep breath and agreed with Cage. He was a tactful divine guard.
"Teng Fei, while you are a guest in our family, you must guide my little sister a lot. She admires you very much!" Cage laughed heartily and pointed at Eve who was only an early-stage midgod. Eve was Avery's daughter. She bore some resemblance to Donna, but she lacked the graceful and graceful temperament of Donna. She was more elegant and pretty. At this moment, her cheeks were slightly red and she was looking at Teng Fei rather bashfully. It was obvious that she was very interested in Teng Fei.
"Haha, of course," replied Teng Fei warmly. However, he only casually swept a glance at Eve. It seemed as though he wasn't very interested in Eve.
"Alright, alright, let's take a break and watch the others fight," Cage laughed and pulled Teng Fei towards the resting area where Eve was staying.
"Eh? Friend, you look unfamiliar. Are you also a member of our family?" Zico walked towards Han Shuo. He was very familiar with this place and couldn't help but ask in astonishment when he saw the unfamiliar Han Shuo.
When the crowd in the gymnasium also saw the unfamiliar Han Shuo, they all revealed attentive expressions.
"No, I'm a friend of Donna. I heard the commotion and came over to take a look!" Han Shuo put on a faint smile and replied politely.
"Oh, so you are a friend of Miss Donna. Hehe, friend, you cultivate in the energy of death. If you are interested, you can go down and find a suitable opponent to spar with. You will only gain enlightenment in a real battle. That will be very beneficial to you!" Zico said to Han Shuo with a smile.
"No, I'm just here to take a look. Hehe, my strength is low and I won't embarrass myself!" Han Shuo tactfully declined.
"Hey, friend, you are also a lowgod. Hmm, and a late-stage lowgod at that. You can play with me. Don't be a wet blanket!" A bald youngster stood in the gymnasium and waved at Han Shuo. He looked somewhat similar to Dolores, except that he was slightly shorter. He also didn't have the grave and stern aura of Dolores.
"Miss Donna's friend must be extraordinary. Friend, don't refuse. Come down and play with Doloxes. There won't be any problems." Teng Fei, who was drinking tea with Cage at the resting area, suddenly had his eyes light up when he heard that Han Shuo was Donna's friend.
"Since Young Master Teng Fei has spoken, don't refuse, friend. Give us some face and go down and play!" Cage creased his brows and also tried to persuade Teng Fei. It seemed that he was very friendly towards Teng Fei.
"Alright, let's just have some fun. Don't take it too seriously." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Han Shuo nodded with a smile and walked towards Doloxes in large strides. He thought that with Donna's identity, those people wouldn't be too serious.
