GDK 873: Not qualified
Han Shuo stayed in the Pandemonium for a whole straight year, which passed in the blink of an eye. Besides repairing and revamping the demonic formations with the Five Elite Zombies, Han Shuo had also been meditating and exploring his newfound powers.
Han Shuo noticed that after entering the Skybreak Realm, every strand of demonic yuan in his body had grown much stronger than before. Han Shuo found that having seemingly unstoppable power coursing through his veins felt very pleasurable and awesome.
Han Shuo had learned the basics of Omen Invincible Body. When Han Shuo’s body was attacked, the demonic technique would automatically activate and defend his body from harm even if he was unconscious. And when there was no danger, it would deactivate and not drain Han Shuo’s demonic yuan. After ascending to the new demonic realm, Han Shuo had finally mastered the Omen Invincible Body.
Han Shuo was very glad to know that the Omen Invincible Body could not only automatically defend him but also automatically make a counterattack.
“If you are not reading this on vera tales, then you are reading on a pirate site,” reminded Hedonist the translator.
Curious of the power of this demonic technique he had just mastered, Han Shuo decided to conduct an experiment using Romon who had a relatively resilient body. He sat cross-legged, set his consciousness still, and entered a deep meditation.
Following the instructions of his master, Romon suddenly charged at Han Shuo and threw a punch at him. When his fist of tremendous power made contact with Han Shuo who was completely unaware of his surroundings, a great force abruptly blasted from Han Shuo’s body. Romon was flung backward. He saw stars and heard ringing for a long while.
As Han Shuo wasn’t sure just how powerful the automatic counterattack would be, he did not let Romon assault him with all his might. From the fact that Romon had become too terrified to help Han Shuo conduct another experiment, Han Shuo reckoned that the counterattack was quite formidable.
After having broken through the Omen Realm and reaching the Skybreak Realm, both his realm state and strength had substantially increased. He had even mastered the Omen Invincible Body.
Although Han Hao had never been to the Pandemonium, he had considered the Pandemonium as his home. As Ossora had assisted in keeping the Pandemonium safe, Han Hao considered Ossora as having done him a favor. That was why he was so generous in sharing with Ossora’s followers.
***One year after Salas went missing, Han Shuo returned to the Omphalos. He approached one of the entry checkpoints with a carefree smile.
The checkpoint was manned by Logue’s followers. When it was Han Shuo’s turn to enter, they coldly demanded, “One hundred black crystal coins.” It was obvious that they did not know Han Shuo.
Han Shuo glanced at the Omphalos guard who demanded crystal coins from him with a funny look. Without changing the cordial smile on his face, Han Shuo said arrogantly, “My apologies, but from now on, I’m not going to pay a single crystal coin.”
The Omphalos guard who possessed mid-stage highgod strength in the energy of water suddenly put on a dark face. With a beckoning of his hand, a group of Omphalos guards quickly surrounded Han Shuo. “Entering the Omphalos without paying? Tired of living, are you?”
“The bunch of you don’t have the qualifications to demand crystal coins from me, though Logue would. I tell you what, if Logue is here to collect the entrance fee from me, I will pay up,” replied Han Shuo smilingly.
“Heresy! How dare you address His Lordship so disrespectfully!” the Omphalos guard frowned and shouted to his comrades, “I don’t care who he is, I want him dead! He hasn’t entered the Omphalos. Killing him here won’t violate any rules!”
These followers of Logue obviously did not have the slightest idea who Han Shuo was, not treating him like the significant character he was. To them, any being who entered the Omphalos was to pay the entrance fee, except for the Five Sovereigns. Everyone was quite familiar with the faces of the Five Sovereigns but few knew of Han Shuo.
“I say it’s you who are tired of living. The Fringe today is no longer the same as it was. Other than the Five Sovereigns, haven’t you forgotten that there is one more person that you must not offend? Haha, I believe that even if Sovereign Logue was here, he would welcome Bryan into the Omphalos!” It was at this moment that a gentle peal of laughter suddenly sounded from the Omphalos. Haruli slowly walked into appearance.
Although these followers of Logue did not recognize Han Shuo, they knew Haruli who had established himself in the Fringe long ago. The Omphalos guard stared blankly for a moment before a sudden recollection. He froze and began to stare at Han Shuo with some respect. With uncertainty in his voice, he asked, “Are you Mister Bryan?”
Han Shuo smiled and replied, “So, now that you know who I am, do you still want crystal coins from me?”
“No!” replied the Omphalos guard with a frightened face. He hastily explained, “Our Sovereign has instructed us that we are to allow Mister Bryan to do as he wishes!”
Han Shuo chuckled. He nodded and replied, “Very well then!” Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo walked into the Omphalos unruffled without giving those people another look.
Those followers of Logue immediately stepped aside and showed Han Shuo the way in. They were very respectful in their gestures.
