Chapter 958: Return
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Huangliang Despairs.
It was still one of the Nine Great Despairs, a legendary, forbidden area.
At this moment, the eyes of all the strong espers were focused over here. More than forty world espers had died in Taihu Territory, but most of them were those hidden hermits. Their loss would not cause much turmoil. However, this time, a total of fifty people were all from the Origin Ability Association. Not to mention there was still this Liu Ping, a level three world esper!
Thus, the Federation naturally had to worry.
After all, that was a Great Despair...
During the time in Taihu Territory, the world bell rang countless times, and the strength of those who entered increased several times. However, this time, in Huangliang Despairs, the world bell only rang twice!
Once was for the domain esper breaking through into the world realm, and the other signified the appearance of fourth grade boundary spirit.
Then, the bell no longer rang.
Are those people still alive?
One waited until the moon appeared, and another day passed. That Huangliang Despairs’ gate, which had been sealed all the time, gradually became illusory and finally vanished.
Just when everyone was shocked.
A space crack erupted in mid-air, and numerous shadows emerged.
“They are out!”
“Seems that quite a number of people survived.”
Everyone wiped their eyes in excitement.
Those shadows proved that there were far more people alive this time compared to before. However, when they clearly saw those who returned, the Origin Ability Association members had a change of expression. There were indeed over dozens of figures, but half of them were wolves, and only about a dozen of them were men.
“The others died?”
The staff from the Origin Ability Association, who came to greet everyone’s return, suddenly became panicked, especially when he didn’t see Liu Ping’s figure.
“Where’s Liu Ping?” He asked while trembling.
“He died while saving us.” Next to Su Hao, a world esper of the Origin Ability Association said, “Wolf King in Huangliang Despairs was a pseudo-emperor. We couldn’t defeat him at all. Then, Lord Liu Ping singled out Wolf King. Finally, when he failed, he forcefully dragged the Wolf King to die together, saving us.”
Swish!
There was an uproar among the crowd.
Especially when the actual strength of Wolf King as a pseudo-emperor was revealed, it caused a shock. If not for them personally saying it, no one would have believed it. There was a pseudo-emperor hiding within human territory?
Thinking about it made them a bit fearful.
Right now it was still fine, but what if that wolf broke through to Emperor-rank in the future?
The entire human race would likely be destroyed!
The memory blocked by Su Hao played its role, and no one knew his identity. The staff of Origin Ability Association and the people who came out from Huangliang Despairs roughly jotted down the incidents that happened during their exploration of Huangliang Despairs. Wolf King... Nine Snakes... both of them were so terrifying.
No wonder Liu Ping died.
However, at this moment, the crowd was still looking at Yang Zixi, the goddess of dawn who accidentally appeared and successfully brought the crowd back. If not for her, the entire group might be wiped out? Without a doubt, this time, the biggest hero of Huangliang Despairs was still this weak looking girl.
Chen Xi, this name was destined to be popular all over the world.
Not only for ordinary people but also the circle of strong espers!
Li Xin, who was riding a giant wolf, was even more eye-catching. With more than a dozen world espers coming out alive, each one of them had greatly increased their strength!
Out of fifty people, only these remaining people survived.
Was it worth it?
Definitely!
Using one old level three world esper in exchange for more than ten espers with unlimited potential. After knowing the existence of the Rule Force’s core, the entire Origin Ability Association became even more ecstatic.
That wasn’t just anything; it is the core of Rule Force!
These ten espers were destined to be level three world espers in the future!
The sadness of Liu Ping’s departure disappeared in an instant. Although this trip in Huangliang Despairs had cost the Origin Ability Association a lot of espers, there was no doubt that the return was profitable. As for Su Hao and the others, after roughly explaining to the Origin Ability Association, they left happily.
After all, one needs to continue their path by themselves.
Staying with the Origin Ability Association might be more comfortable, but whether it was Su Hao or Li Xin, who wishes to be bound there? As for Chen Xi, she’s a singer right?
At this point, the matter regarding Nine Snakes could be closed.
Liu Ping became a hero because he died.
No matter how he died, it was worth the exchange of ten geniuses with unlimited potential. Most likely, the Origin Ability Association would experience a rise in strength soon!
However, was it really profitable?
Su Hao didn’t think so. Xiao An was indeed dead, but the sentence before her death still echoed in his ears. Nine Snakes, her task had been completed!
What was the real goal of Nine Snakes?
Could it be rushing up and proving to the Origin Ability Association that they were villains? Then, smoothly getting herself killed by the Origin Ability Association to add a glorious achievement to the Origin Ability Association?
Of course not.
Then...
What exactly was it?
No one knew.
Su Hao had undergone countless deductions but still couldn’t get a result. Obviously, the actual result had been blocked, and someone in Nine Snakes must be proficient in deductions.
Whether it was calculation, or cause and effect, Su Hao couldn’t get past the hurdle.
The purpose of Nine Snakes ended up as a mystery. However, Su Hao believed that since Nine Snakes had already taken action against Huangliang City, the day everything would be revealed wouldn’t be long.
Nine Snakes wouldn’t kill three million for nothing.
“Yes, it will most likely be soon.” Su Hao stood up, “Your real purpose.”
From the death of three million people, the confrontation in Huangliang Despairs, the concealment of Xiao An, and Liu Ping’s attack, this battle could be described as one with lots of twists and turns. Even though Su Hao was powerful, he couldn’t help but feel tired. After leaving, he returned to the Su family to recharge himself.
Not only due to fatigue.
The harvest from Huangliang Despairs needed to be sorted out too.
A week later, late at night.
Su family’s residence.
Su Hao sat cross-legged and was quietly practicing.
_______________
His Rule Force had increased threefold.
His internal force increased by as much as four times.
His origin energy also had a fourfold increment.
The number of ability talents Kingdom of Heaven needed, one.
Fourth grade boundary spirit.
The quality improvement of his Rule Force!
_______________
This was Su Hao’s harvest in Huangliang Despairs.
Of course, these weren’t the most important. The improvement of Rule Force had allowed him to master a powerful boundary spirit weapon for the first time, and using high quality Rule Force allowed him to condense a boundary spirit with great lethality. Thanks to his Realization, he was able to design one easily.
It only took him a moment to condense Xinghe Sword.
Xinghe Sword, this weapon that could be easily changed, Su Hao believed that it would enter the spotlight once again! In addition to these, there was one more reward, Rule Force’s core.
How did this Rule Force’s core appear?
No one knew!
They just knew that with its existence, one could easily absorb the nature of his Rule Force. This was equivalent to having an infinite amount of spiritual fish, paving the way for you to become a strong esper. In Su Hao’s body, there was also such a thing, the core of Realization.
“It should be called like that, right?” Su Hao muttered.
During the last moment of Huangliang Despairs, he easily absorbed all the force from the stone statue. Li Tiantian, Ping Yang, Xiao Die, Blue Dream Butterfly...
Each one of them possessed their Rule Force’s core!
Unfortunately, after everyone absorbed it, the stone statue no longer had any power; otherwise, Su Hao didn’t mind giving those dark fishes their Rule Force’s core too.
So this round, the biggest earner was still Su Hao.
The existence of Xinghe Sword didn’t make him breakthrough and become a proper world esper! At least, the good thing was Xinghe Sword is much stronger than Shadowless God Needle.
The existence of the Rule Force’s core would surely make Su Hao’s road of becoming a world esper more stable!
Not to mention, after Su Hao broke through, he decided to step into level three directly. The emergence of Rule Force’s core was without a doubt the most stable insurance.
“Too bad, the real aim of Nine Snakes wasn’t identified.” Su Hao frowned slightly. Changing his focus to Kingdom of Heaven, a young girl was lying in an ice crystal coffin, sleeping quietly. That was the dead Xiao An.
After all, she was still a domain esper!
No matter how strong grade S talent is, there would still be a limit. To go against a pseudo-emperor?
That was totally impossible.
If she attacked normally, that starlight probably wouldn’t be able to penetrate the World Force of a pseudo-emperor, let alone attaching it directly to him.
Thus, what Xiao An did was pushing her limit!
And there was only one way to achieve this.
Art of Rejuvenation.
A complete Art of Rejuvenation, that was the reason that allowed Xiao An to fight without limit. Her life span was infinitely overdrawn, allowing her to temporarily stand at the same level with everyone. However, when she was shot by Su Hao and fell from the palace, her short life span was almost exhausted.
That arrow consumed her final breath.
Even though Art of Rebirth brought her back, Xiao An, who was already weak, fell into a severe coma. As for when she will regain consciousness, no one knows.
As for regret?
Su Hao never regretted it!
This battle had exhausted everyone’s combat strength. In order to prove to his father, Su Hao needs to protect his friends; especially, Yang Zixi, who stupidly worried about him so much that she ran back to Huangliang Despairs again. There was also Li Xin and Zheng Tai; he had to protect these people.
Xiao An wouldn’t be merciful, nor will he.
This had nothing to do with hatred. Everyone was just working for themselves and those around them.
“Waaa, so beautiful.” Ping Yang’s eyes lit up, “Hey Su Hao, such a beautiful girl, and you were still willing to kill her?”
“I’m not like you, old virgin.”
“...”
Ping Yang got triggered, “Damn you, you cruel man!”
“Hehe, old virgin.”
“You lolicon!”
“Ruthless man!”
“Old virgin!”
“Ruthless man!”
“...”
“Can we not talk about virginity anymore?”
Ping Yang: “...”
“Are you a virgin?”
“No!”
“Oh, originally, I thought of bringing this girl here, but since you’re not...”
“Hey, hey. Don’t go. If there is anything, we can discuss it properly. Su Hao... Brother Su Hao? Lord Su Hao?” Ping Yang stood in front of the beach, watching Su Hao’s leaving figure as he yelled at the sky, “Su Hao, next time you must bring a girl to me! I am still a virgin!”
Pop!
Water splashed on the sea.
The dark fishes covered their faces and hid. Looking at Ping Yang shouting while putting his hands on his hips, they were wondering. When did humans become this shameless?
.....
The days in the Su family were very peaceful.
However, the quiet days were always short.
One month later, while Su Hao was still hunting for ability talents, the Federation finally had some action, and this action was related to Su Hao.
