Doloxes cultivated in the energy of darkness and possessed late-stage lowgod strength. When he saw that Han Shuo had agreed to the challenge, his smiley face suddenly changed. A gloomy and desolate aura was immediately released from his body.
Han Shuo walked step by step towards the center of the gymnasium. His main body merely mobilized the energy of his avatar of death. Soon enough, an aura of death that held no regard for life emanated from Han Shuo's body.
Both the energy of death and the energy of darkness were known for their evilness. They weren't particularly adept in close combat. Han Shuo and Doloxes had no intention of engaging in close combat. Doloxes took the initiative to attack. His body gently swayed and five dark shadows separated from each other. The five shadows were pitch-black and blurry. They were all covered in dense divine energy of darkness.
As soon as the five shadows appeared, they immediately charged at Han Shuo. They created even more blurry shadows in the gymnasium. It was a very bizarre sight.
Those who cultivated in the energy of darkness were experts in concealing their bodies and aura. They would often use the shadows to obscure their opponent's vision in battle. They would hide their true body in the darkness or transform into a shadow. They would then take advantage of their opponent's confusion and kill them in a single strike.
It seemed that Doloxes knew how to utilize this technique very well. The blurry shadows constantly circled around Han Shuo and approached Han Shuo little by little.
Han Shuo stood perfectly straight on the same spot. His eyes calmly looked at the blurry shadows that were constantly flashing in front of him. He wasn't the slightest bit affected by the phantoms. It was only when the many shadows got closer and closer that Han Shuo deployed his three trump card boundaries of death around himself. It was obvious that he was going to take a defensive stance.
Doloxes conjured more and more shadowy figures that fluttered gracefully in the gymnasium. When the speed of the shadowy figures grew faster and faster, nearly a hundred shadowy figures suddenly rushed at Han Shuo, attacking him from all directions.
Han Shuo remained in his original position, coldly watching the shadows. When the first shadow was about to attack his body, he was like a venomous snake that had been lying dormant for a long time, waiting for an opportunity. He abruptly scuttled out, his two hands drawing out layers of green waves that engulfed the dozen or so shadows. With a loud bang, he punched a shadow that was still flying around.
"Bang!"
Han Shuo's fist landed squarely on Doloxes' chest. All of the shadows vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye. As it was just a sparring session, Han Shuo didn't put too much force into this punch. It was just enough to stop Doloxes' body and render him powerless to continue conjuring shadows. However, it didn't injure Doloxes at all.
"Eh?"
"How is this possible? How could he locate the true body of Doloxes so accurately when they are in the same realm?"
"Unbelievable! So many shadows can't confuse his vision. It's amazing!"
"…" The spectators around the training field were all discussing in low voices. They were all marveling at Han Shuo's astonishing attack.
Generally speaking, in a battle between two experts of the same realm, the shadows conjured by those who cultivated in the energy of darkness would be difficult for their opponents to grasp. Those shadows could be infused with the divine energy of darkness and could cause harm to the enemy. When faced with the simultaneous attack of a hundred shadows, those who couldn't locate the true body would generally adopt the most reliable defensive measures.
Just like Doloxes, Han Shuo was only a late-stage lowgod. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been possible for him to discover Han Shuo's true body. However, the scene before the eyes of the spectators had subverted their understanding. That was why they were so astonished.
Doloxes was astounded. He lowered his head to look at Han Shuo's iron fist that was stuck on his chest, seemingly unable to accept this fact. As Han Shuo didn't imbue too much divine energy of death into this punch, Doloxes wasn't injured in the slightest. He stared blankly for a moment before his eyes glowed with the color of unwillingness.
Unexpectedly, the divine energy of darkness suddenly erupted from Doloxes' chest and gushed into Han Shuo's fist, causing Han Shuo to let out a muffled groan.
Han Shuo was enraged. Based on common sense, Han Shuo's punch that landed on Doloxes' chest was already a victory for Han Shuo. At this moment, Doloxes should have gracefully admitted his defeat instead of seizing the opportunity to launch an attack.
Fortunately, Han Shuo's demonic body was incomparably tough. Otherwise, when faced with Doloxes' divine energy of darkness, Han Shuo would surely have sustained light injuries.
Han Shuo coldly groaned and the energy of death suddenly erupted from his body, forcibly suppressing the divine energy of darkness that Doloxes charged at his demonic body. With one thought, a small amount of demonic yuan overflowed. The Demonic Blades protruded from Han Shuo's fingernails, gleaming with threatening cold light.
Whoosh! Han Shuo's left hand drew a complicated pattern. Doloxes' vision blurred. Before he could clearly see Han Shuo's movements, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Looking down, Doloxes discovered that five ice-cold blades were pressed against the main artery of his neck. If he moved even an inch, there was a possibility that he would be cut.
Doloxes, who was still preparing to defeat Han Shuo in a spurt of energy, immediately discovered that Han Shuo was staring at him indifferently. His eyes were as cold and callous as the blade that was pressed against his neck. Doloxes felt a chill in his heart. He had the misconception that Han Shuo could rip him to shreds at any moment. He immediately raised both his hands high and shouted, "I've lost! Friend, you are indeed formidable!"
"That friend over there, Doloxes has just been punched by you. Why are you still being so unforgiving? Aren't you going a little too far?!" Cage's voice deepened as he slowly walked over. He looked extremely displeased.
"I'm going too far?" The corners of Han Shuo's mouth curled into a sneer. He maintained the posture of his hand and turned around to shoot a cold glance at Cage. He said, "You possess midgod strength. If you had observed carefully just now, you would definitely have noticed Doloxes' little tricks. He was the one who disobeyed the rules first. Not only did you not mention it, but you also said that I'm going too far? Hehe, is this how your House of Lavers treats its guests? "
"Put your hands down first. We can talk things over if there is any misunderstanding!" Cage hastily tried to mediate when he saw the grim expression on Han Shuo's face. He really thought that Han Shuo would kill Han Shuo in a fit of rage.
"Hey, friend, there's no need to be like this. It's just a spar. There's no need to be so serious!" Zico, seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, immediately walked over and mediated.
"What are you guys so nervous about? I didn't mean anything by it. I was just explaining the situation to you!" Han Shuo sneered. He turned around and stared at Doloxes who had his hands raised high. While secretly guarding against Doloxes, Han Shuo slowly put away the unsheathed Demonic Blades.
When the Demonic Blades were completely removed from Doloxes' neck, Doloxes suddenly retreated several steps. His expression changed as he said hatefully, "How dare you point a sharp weapon at me?!"
"What is your relationship with our eldest sister? What are you doing in our Lavers Family?" Cage's face immediately turned gloomy when he realized that Doloxes' safety was no longer threatened by Han Shuo. He stared at Han Shuo and interrogated him.
"He is just a lowgod. I reckon that he came to our Lavers Family through our eldest sister. He must be tired of living to be so rough with Doloxes!" the beautiful Eve stood up and looked at Han Shuo with a face filled with disgust.
"What?" Han Shuo squinted his eyes and took in the expressions of the others. He looked at Eve disdainfully and mocked, "Are you going to teach me a lesson if I say that Donna and I aren't friends? Heh, you guys are all from the same Family Clan, but compared to Donna, you guys are nothing! "
"You? What did you say? "Eve was enraged. She pointed at Han Shuo and said sternly," Say it again if you have the guts! "
"Hah, if you want to humiliate yourself, I really don't mind!" There was no way Han Shuo was afraid of her. He sneered and repeated what he said. When Eve was about to attack him, Han Shuo suddenly pointed at Teng Fei who was standing beside Eve and said with a mischievous smile, "Miss Eve, you are not behaving like a young lady of a large family clan. Can't you see the disdain and ridicule on Young Master Teng Fei's face?"
Eve was shocked to hear those words from Han Shuo. Only then did she remember that Teng Fei was standing beside her. She panicked and hastily turned to look at Teng Fei who was trying to hide his embarrassment after being exposed by Han Shuo.
"No, I don't have that intention!" Teng Fei immediately explained when he saw Eve looking at him. He forced a smile at Han Shuo and said, "Friend, don't speak nonsense. I have never offended you!"
"Zico, I'll have to trouble you to take down this suspicious fella. I will personally ask my elder sister what this fella is doing in our family clan!" When Cage saw that Han Shuo had so casually neutralized Eve's attack and had cleverly created a small conflict between Eve and Teng Fei, he immediately felt that he couldn't allow Han Shuo to continue causing trouble.
"This, this …" Zico was in a difficult position. He didn't dare to offend Donna's friend, but he didn't know how to refuse Cage's words. He was in a dilemma.
"I will help Young Master Cage take him down!" Shouted another early-stage midgod who cultivated in the energy of destruction. He seemed to want to curry favor with Teng Fei and charged straight at Han Shuo. It seemed that he was prepared to capture Han Shuo at lightning speed.
It was absolutely impossible for Han Shuo to contend against an early-stage midgod expert with just the strength of his two avatars. Han Shuo's heart turned cold when he saw that he was forced into a corner. He started hesitating whether or not he should utilize demonic arts.
It was at this moment that Han Shuo suddenly sensed Donna's aura and immediately realized that Donna had arrived. But strangely, Han Shuo discovered that Donna did not immediately lend him a hand. It seemed that she had some other intentions. With one thought, Han Shuo immediately realized that Donna must be doubting his strength and wanted to take this opportunity to see how strong she really was.
Han Shuo, who was about to utilize demonic arts, suddenly changed his mind. He stayed where he was and waited for the guard to approach him. He used the energy of his avatar of death to defend himself. Although that guard didn't know how close the relationship between Han Shuo and Donna was, he didn't dare to do anything to Han Shuo because of his relationship with Donna. He only followed Cage's instructions to capture Han Shuo.
With Han Shuo deliberately concealing his strength, it only took a few short seconds for Han Shuo to be 'immobilized' against that midgod who was an entire realm lower than him.
Just when that guard was about to capture Han Shuo, Donna, who had been hiding in the dark, finally made her move. A dark shadow suddenly descended on the gymnasium. Bang! That guard was sent flying far away.
Donna stood in front of Han Shuo with a furious expression. She glared at that guard who was sitting on the ground and panting. She coldly groaned and said, "You've got guts. How dare you touch my friend? Who gave you the courage to do so?"
That guard was stunned when he saw Donna. He subconsciously turned to look at Cage.
When Cage saw that Donna had angrily come to Han Shuo's rescue, he immediately realized that he had misjudged the relationship between Han Shuo and Donna. Cage very irresponsibly avoided the gaze of that guard who stood up for him. He chuckled and said, "Big sister, why are you here? They are just playing with your friend. Why are you so angry?"
It was obvious that Donna held an extremely high status in the Lavers Family. Many of the guards who were planning to make a move on Han Shuo immediately gave up on the idea. They were afraid that Donna would see through their intentions.
"Brian is a friend that I went through a lot of trouble to invite over. I believe that he should have told you about this. I didn't expect that you would dare to capture him. Are you looking down on me?" Donna said furiously. She glared at everyone in the gymnasium with her almond-shaped eyes.
"It's none of my business. Can you not glare at me like that?" Teng Fei put on a bitter smile and raised his hand to explain. His gaze towards Donna was filled with unconcealable love. He hastily tried to prove his innocence.
"You are not a good person either. You only know how to laugh at others!" Donna scolded Teng Fei. Then, she turned to Han Shuo and said apologetically, "Brian, I'm sorry. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
"I have long seen the arrogance of a descendant of a major family. It's nothing to be surprised about!" Han Shuo shrugged and said to Donna with a faint smile, "Forget it, I'll just move out. I really can't get used to staying in your Lavers Family!"
"Ah?" Donna panicked. She had witnessed how miraculous and mysterious Han Shuo was. She wholeheartedly wanted to rope Han Shuo into the Lavers Family. Now that she heard Han Shuo's words, she hastily pleaded, "Don't do this, Brian. I promise you, this will never happen again! You just arrived and I haven't even had the chance to greet you. How can you leave so soon! "
"I'm sorry, I really can't stand the face of some people. Staying here will only affect my cultivation mood! Alright, I have enough black crystal coins in my hands. I can live a free and easy life even if I don't leave the City of Shadows. Perhaps we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Please don't try to stop me! "Han Shuo said to Donna in a stern face. He had made up his mind to draw a line between himself and the Lavers Family.
"He's just a lowgod. There are plenty of them in the City of Shadows. What's so great about him?" Eve couldn't help but groan coldly when she saw that Han Shuo was unmoved by Donna's strenuous efforts to persuade Han Shuo to stay.
"Shut up!" Donna was feeling vexed. She shouted at Eve, "You know nothing but to cause trouble for the family. I don't care about you, but you can't do anything about it, can you?"
"Elder sister, you, you are so fierce to me because of this brat! You, you … "Eve put on a wronged face after being yelled at by Donna. Tears were already rolling down her cheeks.
"I know the way. Elder sister Donna, you don't have to send me off!" While Donna was yelling at Eve, Han Shuo had already walked out of the gymnasium. He turned around and yelled at Donna before rapidly disappearing from the crowd's sight.
"When he shows off his abilities in the City of Shadows, you will all know how big of a mistake you have made today. Sigh, you guys!" Donna looked at Cage and the others with resentment. She let out a long sigh and hastily chased after Han Shuo. However, when she walked out of the gymnasium, she discovered that Han Shuo had vanished without a trace.
Donna knew that after today's incident, Han Shuo would never join the Lavers Family. She was filled with regret as she knew that the Lavers Family had missed out on yet another talent. But what she did not know was that today's incident had nearly brought the Lavers Family to extinction!
