Chapter 587 - Multitasking
GDK 587: Multitasking
“Are you really willing to help me?” Stratholme was actually rather shocked to see Han Shuo agree so simply. Even he himself felt absurd when he said those words as in his heart he didn’t think that Han Shuo would ever help him. After all, he was very clear as to what it meant to become a god. He felt that the friendship they had with each other didn’t run deep enough and therefore such a heavenly favor was not to be expected.
Meanwhile, Han Shuo found the old monster’s amazement to be funny. From Han Shuo’s point of view, Stratholme was just a demigod who was about to break through as a basegod. He still had an insurmountable distance to go to become a lowgod. In Han Shuo’s eyes, one basegod could certainly pose no threat to him, given that of the Demons he had in the Abyss realm, a great majority of them were in the realm of basegod – even though they did not make that breakthrough by themselves!
A mere basegod was nothing to Han Shuo who possessed two lowgod avatars. Back then in Tarrag Canyon, Han Shuo had once collaborated with Stratholme in fighting enemies. From their interactions, Han Shuo knew that the old monster was one worth making friends with. Moreover, Stratholme had been serving as a protector in the vicinity of Brettel City years by then. This made Han Shuo’s opinion about him rise even higher.
“You have formed a Soul of Element after fusing your soul with the crystal of fighting aura. To advance further, you need to concentrate your efforts on your body. You are a swordsman to begin with. The fighting aura you have been cultivating has been in your body all along. In this aspect, you have exceptional advantages. It’s very easy for you to cultivate a Body of Element,” Han Shuo slowly explained while looking at Stratholme.
After the trip to the Abyss realm, Han Shuo came to understand the cultivation methods of the two worlds. Based on his knowledge on the cultivation techniques, Han Shuo discovered that Stratholme, who cultivated in fighting aura, contrary to expectations had similar cultivation methods to those of the Abyss realm. He too would focus on training the fighting aura in his body and neglect the soul aspect just the same.
Logically speaking, after forming a Soul of Element, it shouldn’t be that hard for Stratholme to form a Body of Element. While thinking why he had yet to do so, Han Shuo slowly probed the old monster’s body condition using his consciousness. Immediately, he discovered that the old monster was indeed filled with abundant fighting aura. However, the fighting aura was concentrated in his chest and did not spread to cover his skin and skeleton.
With just one look, Han Shuo immediately came to understand where the problem lied. Stratholme was long accustomed to the fighting aura cultivation method on Profound Continent. Although he had the unique advantage of forming a Body of Element compared to an average magus, he was locked in this rigid line of thought, unable to think outside the box and see this problem in a different light.
Stratholme felt flustered when he saw Han Shuo staring at him with strange, glistening eyes without saying a word. Even though the old monster knew that Han Shuo’s certainly did so out of good will, the pressure that came from Han Shuo nonetheless made him uncomfortable. Stratholme awkwardly smiled and asked, “Is there a problem?”
Han Shuo nodded with a slight grin and hit the nail on the head, saying, “All along, you have been cultivating fighting aura using the region around your heart as the power source and would only erupt them through your limbs. However, to form a Body of Element, you need to spread that fighting aura to every cell in your body. When your whole body is filled with fighting aura, that is roughly the time your Body of Element will take shape.”
Meantime, Han Shuo’s main body returned to the Cemetery of Death using the transportation matrix under his City Lord’s manor. After returning there, Han Shuo quickly briefed Jasper and others before leaving them again in haste. He headed for the Dark Forest where the skeleton of dark dragon Gilbert was buried.
After countless years of waiting, it was finally the time to rebuild Gilbert a new body! Only the main body of Han Shuo’s that cultivated in demonic arts could perform this operation and two lowgod avatars could do nothing to help. This time, not only did Han Shuo possess the best materials, he had even obtained some divine materials from the Void. Han Shuo believed that the resurrected dark dragon Gilbert would be more powerful than ever!
