Han Shuo did not deliberately circulate Invincible Omen Body throughout his entire body when fighting against Andrina because he knew that Andrina knew when to stop and would not kill him.
The strike landed on Han Shuo's chest. The automatic circulation of Invincible Omen Body made Han Shuo overjoyed. He smilingly said, "Again, but don't use too much strength!"
His body had already reached its critical point. If he were to forcefully borrow Cauldron Spirit's energy again, the demonic infant in his body would be affected. Therefore, Han Shuo reminded Andrina to be careful.
Bang! Another strike landed on Han Shuo's chest.
Han Shuo felt as though a mountain had crashed into his chest. He took several steps back. He tasted something sweet in his mouth and a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
"Huh?" Andrina was stunned for a moment. Her body swayed and she caught Han Shuo. She scolded, "Why didn't you block?"
Han Shuo wiped away the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth and replied, "I'm fine. I was testing my body's endurance!" Strangely enough, when Andrina's strike landed on Han Shuo's body, he did not immediately release Invincible Omen Body. That was why he suffered light injuries.
What's going on? Han Shuo was extremely puzzled. Why did it work just now but not now?
"Akley, let's try. Hit me a few times. Be gentle! "Han Shuo gestured for Akley to come over.
Although Andrina had held back, she was too strong and Han Shuo was still slightly injured. Akley was not like Andrina. Given his strength, it would be very difficult for him to inflict serious injuries on Han Shuo. It would be safer for him to attack Han Shuo.
"You're quite the masochist, aren't you?" Akley muttered. He somewhat reluctantly walked to Han Shuo's side and suddenly began bombarding Han Shuo's body. Akley deliberately controlled his strength. Although the series of attacks appeared to be tight, they were in fact not very powerful.
"Stop!" Han Shuo shouted, his heart full of doubts. It was useless! Faced with Akley's torrential attacks, Invincible Omen Body did not automatically form.
"Weird, I don't understand what you're doing!" Akley muttered again. He waved his hand and said, "I'll be leaving first. You can have fun on your own."
"Brian, what are you doing?" After Akley left, Andrina curiously asked Han Shuo. She could tell that Han Shuo seemed to be contemplating something. Combined with his strange behavior, Andrina felt that Han Shuo's behavior was somewhat abnormal.
"It's nothing. I just encountered some problems with the power I'm cultivating." Han Shuo casually replied and smilingly said, "Alright, Andrina, go do whatever you need to do. I'll be alone for a while."
"Alright then, I'll go play with big sister Fanny. Big sister Fanny has cultivated to demigod realm with the help of the Origin Crystal. It seems that she will become a basegod in a few years!" Andrina nodded and left the gymnasium.
Every single one of those who came from Profound Continent possessed extraordinary aptitude. Utilizing the enormous resources provided by Han Shuo and the superior environment of Elysium, each and every one of them progressed at lightning speed. For example, a dark grand magus like Candide very quickly advanced to sacred magus and was only one step away from the demigod realm.
Those who originally only possessed demigod strength also made substantial progress within a short period of time. In short, those who came from Profound Continent spent all their time and energy on cultivation. Han Shuo was very satisfied with each and every one of them.
Bollands and Sanguinar, the two demonic arts cultivators, also made rapid progress during the period when Han Shuo was away from Profound Continent. Sanguinar in particular, due to his unique body, was able to cultivate the Bloodgod Mantra at an astonishing speed. By now, Sanguinar could control the blood in his enemies' bodies and he could transform the blood in his body into bloody shadows to attack others.
After arriving on Elysium, Han Shuo paid special attention to Bollands and Sanguinar. He answered all the problems they encountered in their cultivation and even refined several kinds of special medicinal pellets for them to consume, allowing their demonic arts to advance by leaps and bounds.
Han Shuo was very satisfied with the performance of those from Profound Continent. After Andrina left, Han Shuo began to ponder the reason why the Invincible Omen Body did not automatically form.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo once again secretly cultivated the Invincible Omen Body. However, he did not discover any abnormalities in his body. Han Shuo decided to borrow Cauldron Spirit's power to strengthen himself using this method of torturing his body. He wanted to see if the Invincible Omen Body would automatically form the next time he used Cauldron Spirit's energy.
"Carmelita is here to see you!" Han Shuo had just stepped out of the gymnasium when he saw Carmelita.
Carmelita, who had been forced to cultivate by Wallace, had her eyes glowing when she saw Han Shuo. She excitedly said, "Brat, I didn't expect you to be an expert as well! Come, come, let's spar. Hah, I've heard about how you taught Portlem a lesson. Well done. I've long found him an eyesore. That fella has been restless even before he became a highgod. Now that he has become a highgod, he has become even more arrogant. Well done! "
"I've just sparred with Andrina. I'm not in my best shape right now. Let's spar again next time!" Han Shuo rejected Carmelita's invitation. Then, his face turned dark as he asked, "Has that fella Portlem left the Sainte Residence?"
"Not yet, but he will be returning to the city soon!" Carmelita seemed to know what was on Han Shuo's mind. She hastily stopped him and said, "You must not come to the Sainte Residence to look for trouble with Portlem. That fella is currently with his uncle Doyalo. Charlotte is also staying with them. I don't think you and Andrina will be able to get rid of them. Besides, they are in the Sainte Residence. If you really want to attack them, we will not sit idly by. You better give up on this idea and think of another way! "
After hearing Carmelita's words, Han Shuo knew that it was unrealistic to attack Portlem in the City of Shadows. He nodded and said, "I know where your House of Sainte stands. I won't make things difficult for you!"
"Bryan, I came to find you this time because I have great news to tell you!" Carmelita said.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he asked in astonishment, "What great news?"
"My father is very appreciative of you after he heard that you possess highgod strength. Although you haven't been in the City of Shadows for long, you have helped me many times and are very close to our House of Sainte. My father intends to let you take over the Fifth Corps!" Carmelita said excitedly.
"Wha, what?!" Han Shuo cried out in surprise. He asked in disbelief, "Let me take over the Fifth Corps? Are you sure? "
Carmelita nodded affirmatively and explained, "That's right. You know the rules of the City of Shadows. Only major family clans are qualified to own their own divine guards. Other than that, only the Seven Chiefs of Divine Guards are allowed to build their own teams of divine guards. If you become the Chief of the Fifth Corps, you will truly possess a portion of the authority in the City of Shadows. This will be greatly beneficial to your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
With that, with the authority of the Fifth Corps and the wealth accumulated by the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, you will be able to replace the House of Lavers and become the new family clan in the City of Shadows. In our City of Shadows, a new family clan has many conveniences. Even some affairs of the Church are only accessible to the patriarchs of major family clans! "
Han Shuo did not expect that a small display of his abilities would bring him so many benefits. If he had known that displaying sufficient strength in the City of Shadows would bring him so many conveniences, perhaps Han Shuo would have made a move on Avery long ago.
Han Shuo knew very well what the Fifth Corps represented. It was a lucrative position that all major family clans in the City of Shadows coveted. Having the Fifth Corps was tantamount to having a military force in one's hands. Moreover, it was legal. Every Chief of Divine Guards in the City of Shadows had special privileges and were respected by all. Generally speaking, only experts from major family clans who had made great contributions to the City would have the qualifications to take the position.
But how long had he been in the City of Shadows?
"My qualifications are too shallow. Everyone covets the position of Chief of the Fifth Corps. It won't be that easy for me to take it, will it? Besides, your father said that only by taking Avery's head can he take the throne. Now, not to mention that I don't know where Avery is, even if I did know where he is, I'm afraid that it would still be difficult to kill him! "Han Shuo forced a smile.
It would be a lie to say that Han Shuo did not have any ambitions for the position. It was just that he did not expect that an outsider who had just arrived in the City of Shadows would have such a great opportunity.
"There are some things that can be changed!" Carmelita said, "Although my father has the intention, you will have to work hard to take the position. You must prove your capabilities to everyone before my father can help you!"
Han Shuo nodded and smilingly said, "Of course I understand that!"
"I came here today to tell you this news. Also, Erebus told me to tell you that if you are interested, you can go to the Third Corps and get used to it. He will make arrangements for you. As long as you can accumulate enough reputation and contributions, the position of the Fifth Corps will be very promising for you. After all, my father has taken a fancy to you! "said Carmelita smilingly.
Erebus had not been in the City of Shadows during this period of time. If what Erebus said was true, Han Shuo would be able to familiarize himself with the Third Corps and accumulate enough contributions in some operations of the Third Corps. With Wallace's help, the position of the Fifth Corps, which everyone coveted, would be very promising for him.
"What has Erebus been busy with recently?" asked Han Shuo hastily.
"Hunting those godhunters, of course. Erebus and Brovst have some personal grudges. He has never stopped hunting Brovst!" replied Carmelita.
"Good!" Then, he smilingly said, "Carmelita, can I trouble you to make some arrangements for me? I'm going to the Third Corps to familiarize myself with the environment. I still have some experience in hunting godhunters!"
"No problem. When I return, I will send Erebus a message and get him to make arrangements for you. I will inform you when it's done!" said Carmelita straightforwardly.
Han Shuo was overjoyed. He knew that if he hadn't saved Carmelita twice in the City of Shadows and established a good relationship with the House of Sainte, he wouldn't have been able to get the position of the Fifth Corps even if he had worked hard for a hundred years.
"Bryan, I have something to tell you!" Carmelita had a troubled look on her face. She was a little embarrassed.
"What is it?" asked Han Shuo.
"Sister Charlotte and I have a pretty good relationship. She asked me to tell you that what happened between you and Portlem has nothing to do with her. Last time, she helped Portlem to stop you because she had no other choice. She hopes that you won't take it to heart!" Carmelita hesitated for a moment before she continued, "Brian, Sister Charlotte used to be from our Darkness Dominion. She has now married into the Destruction Dominion. Although she came to the City of Shadows with Portlem, they didn't travel together. She had nothing to do with Portlem!"
"I know what I'm doing!" Han Shuo nodded and said, "As long as Charlotte doesn't do anything harmful to our Celestial Pearl Pharmacy in the future, I won't hold it against her for what happened last time!" Han Shuo did not make any promises. If Charlotte really did anything to his Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, he would make her regret it.
"Alright, that's why I'm here today," said Carmelita. Carmelita felt that she had done Charlotte a favor after hearing Han Shuo's words and left hastily.
Not long after Carmelita left, Han Shuo took out the Holy Grail he obtained from the Church of Light and transmitted to McKinley, "I have returned to Elysium. But I have some urgent matters to attend to. I will personally bring you to the Space Dominion after some time!"
"Where are you on Elysium?" asked McKinley.
"The City of Shadows, one of the seven major cities of the Darkness Dominion!" replied Han Shuo.
"Oh, it's indeed a little far from here to the Space Dominion. If you really have urgent matters to attend to, you can wait for a while. After all, I have been in the Holy Grail for such a long time. It doesn't matter if I'm a little late!" replied McKinley.
Before Portlem and his party left the City of Shadows, Han Shuo couldn't be at ease about the safety of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Although Han Shuo believed that they wouldn't dare to act recklessly in the City of Shadows, it was easier to dodge a spear in the open than an arrow in the dark. If they were to launch a sneak attack like Avery, even if the House of Sainte had no evidence, it would be very difficult for them to pursue the matter.
Furthermore, Han Shuo really coveted the lucrative position of the Fifth Corps. Not to mention that he knew the location of one of the godhunters' lairs. As long as he put in some effort and put in some effort, he might be able to make a name for himself by attacking the godhunters. Then, with Wallace's help, he would be able to sit on that position.
"Don't worry, it won't take too long! Besides, even without you, I will be going to the Space Dominion after some time! " Han Shuo had an agreement with Little Skull and the Five Elite Zombies to meet at the Space Dominion every once in a while. Therefore, Han Shuo would definitely return to the Space Dominion. He just needed to find a suitable time to do so.
