Chapter 838 - 781: Asura’s Arena

Damn!

Something’s off with me!

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but roll its eyes, really only now he’s noticing.

But this wasn’t the only strange thing about Han Yu; the Artifact Spirit flitted around, finally having a moment of realization.

It finally understood what it was—it had been hanging out with Han Yu every day, so it was slow to notice.

Now suddenly illuminated, what’s going on with the aura emanating from Han Yu, that bastard!

"Aura?"

Han Yu was a bit dumbfounded, he has that?

"Definitely!"

The Artifact Spirit nodded confidently, even flying away to take a look.

The current Han Yu was like a hidden-blade divine soldier; even if the edge was concealed, its essence would be unconsciously emitted.

A divine soldier is always a divine soldier, it doesn’t lose its deterrence just because it is sheathed.

Although this metaphor might not be fully appropriate, it truly felt an unprecedented aura from Han Yu.

This kind of thing, it could only sense from Mu Zili, or other strong cultivators.

So when did this bastard get it?

So, is it because Han Yu inexplicably gained this aura, that he subconsciously started noticing the presence of energy?

It didn’t expect that after Han Yu came out from a supernatural trial, the change would be so big.

"You owe him a bow next time."

The Artifact Spirit said with a playful tone, smiling.

Han Yu shook his head vigorously.

Bow?

Don’t even think about it, this guy always argued with him happily back then, bowing would probably invite more trouble later on.

"In the end, it gave you real benefits, things others might not be able to teach you."

The Artifact Spirit half-joked, but it was the truth; although the wise old man was only guiding, it ultimately relied on Han Yu himself.

But, doesn’t this just show how skillful the guide is?

Just giving a direction, allowing Han Yu to find the path most suited to himself.

What suits oneself, is the strongest.

"How strong are you now?"

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity.

Han Yu pondered for a bit, then seriously spoke, "If I encounter someone like Meng Yun or Li Yingqi again, I could kill them without even using Dharma Aspect!"

The tone was firm, even though Han Yu was estimating the opponent had special means.

If they didn’t, he might easily finish them off.

The Artifact Spirit was a bit surprised, that strong?

"Not that strong, divine techniques are meant to be maximized."

After this experience, Han Yu’s view on divine techniques had changed greatly.

First of all, acquiring his divine techniques wasn’t too difficult, the hard part was only finding divine technique cultivators.

Secondly, his divine techniques were already at the top without practice, making his usage of them quite brute-force.

Lastly, it’s the misconception many have about divine techniques, like Xia Wuyou.

If Xia Wuyou’s Gold Divine Power were still there, and only used it, he couldn’t even touch me, while I might only need one move to take him down.

Untouched!

Divine techniques, though innate, are not ready-to-use, they are to be honed until they fit you best.

The Artifact Spirit listened in awe, astonished, dumbly asking, "Did you realize all this on your own?"

Han Yu nodded quietly, time and again he kept dying, without realizing he would keep dying endlessly.

Between life and death, it messes with your mindset.

It’s the easiest way to push oneself.

Then he was pushed countless times more, if he still didn’t get it, he deserved to die.

"Oh right!"

The Artifact Spirit seemed to suddenly recall something.

"The Golden Spirit is willing to help find the Water Spirit."

It was indeed a pleasant surprise, though it was surprising that this fellow allowed someone to knock that into it?

"Of course, it did; with such a large body, even it finds it burdensome."

The Artifact Spirit chirped happily. After all, Mo Xiuwen facilitated the matter and promised to help the Golden Spirit get a body it was most satisfied with.

An interesting side story was that this incident reminded the Fire Spirit of a promise from the Mo Family to enhance its body, which had been shelved.

It seemed the Mo Family had forgotten, and so had the Fire Spirit.

Were it not for the Golden Spirit’s dissatisfaction with its body, it wouldn’t have recalled!

"Moreover, I sent them to Tianning Prefecture to look."

The Artifact Spirit continued.

Tianning Prefecture?

Han Yu hadn’t reacted yet; why are they going there?

The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes; isn’t this based on their previous judgments!

Whether divine technique cultivators were born near spirit bodies, or spirit bodies naturally approached potential divine power users, both greatly narrowed the search for these spirit bodies.

Bai Junya is currently the only Water Divine Power cultivator, so Tianning Prefecture likely harbors the Water Spirit.

The Artifact Spirit’s explanation made sense after all.

But Han Yu’s expression was a bit odd, Bai Junya?

"Yeah! Your old flame."

The Artifact Spirit teased with a cheerful grin.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Han Yu quickly retorted with an eye roll, calling her his old flame was a bit much.

Back then when he started, he had some fondness for her and helped when the Bai Family encountered trouble.

Then... they crossed paths again in White Emperor City.

After that, they hadn’t seen each other, and Han Yu’s feelings for Bai Junya seemed not that deep.

"You might not be invested, but she sure is!"

The Artifact Spirit giggled, not knowing what’s so funny.

Just imagine, a man rescues you from danger, and he’s the most outstanding among peers, who wouldn’t be moved?

Anyway, it could see Qing Wan and You Li having odd glances at Han Yu.

As for why it laughed, Han Yu would soon find out!

Bai Junya is here!

He doesn’t even know why Bai Junya would appear here, but he clearly felt a force of Water Divine Power approaching, closer and closer.

How close?

In the next moment, a pair of long, voluptuous legs stepped into his room!

Wow!

It’s really her!

No, she shouldn’t be like everyone else, over at the Northern Border, right?

"Did you forget the matter Quan Xiaotong asked you before? Didn’t I agree for you?"

The Artifact Spirit reminded from the side.

No, this is too fast?

Just now, the Artifact Spirit mentioned this matter, and then Quan Xiaotong finished it?

This guy’s efficiency is too swift and decisive!

Bai Junya, dressed in a light green palace attire, although she has already become a cultivator, still carries that unique elegance of a noble lady, and having not seen her for a long time, she has become more mature.

Her gestures exude charm.

Moreover, what surprised him was that a girl looking like a bean sprout was beside her, yes, like a bean sprout.

And he knows this bean sprout, Lily!

Tsk! It’s been so long, and besides her cultivation, she hasn’t made any progress in other aspects.

Han Yu looked at Lily and silently commented in his heart.

"Naughty pharmacist, do you still remember me."

Lily is still so lively, waving her hand familiarly upon seeing him.

Then she chirpily surrounded Han Yu, chatting intermittently.

After all, Han Yu’s reputation has truly spread across the entire Cultivator Realm of Central Continent, and there’s really no one who doesn’t know him.

As for those who know him, they’re likely shocked to their core.

Lily is exactly that, upon initially hearing Han Yu’s name, she thought it was someone with the same name, but after asking, it turned out to be that former quirky pharmacist.

This truly shocked her immensely, like a friend she knows but isn’t close to, suddenly transforming into an unexpected identity.

Han Yu looked helplessly at Lily’s endless chatter, inadvertently glanced out, and in an instant, two gazes met in the air.

Bai Junya also looked over, her face instantly turning red, but she didn’t look away, instead stubbornly stopping her head that wanted to turn away.

In the end, Han Yu slightly turned his head in defeat, feeling extremely awkward.

Hmph!

Bai Junya suddenly laughed, leaving Han Yu puzzled.

"I heard you woke up, so I came over to see you."

Bai Junya’s smile was like blooming flowers, especially with the rosy blush on her absolutely beautiful face, giving off a unique beauty.

But Han Yu was not entranced, because another presence appeared.

Qing Wan?

The unique aura of her Wood Divine Power was coming from not far away, and the speed was equally swift.

In the next moment, a bright figure rushed in like the wind, shouting as she entered.

"Brother Han Yu, I heard you woke up."

As Qing Wan entered, she just grabbed Han Yu’s sleeve, then suddenly felt the atmosphere was a bit odd, slightly turned her head, and found there were two more people in the room.

To be precise, there were two women, who were looking at her with peculiar eyes.

Unconsciously, she let go of her hand, smiling awkwardly.

"What the heck is going on?"

This girl Qing Wan seems more and more off.

Han Yu couldn’t help but feel extremely troubled, every time he saw this girl, she seemed more and more peculiar.

"You big idiot!"

The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes, speaking irritably, how can he not see?

Han Yu originally wanted to retort, but suddenly felt bewildered again.

Someone else?

Why is there so many people visiting him today?

As You Li slowly walked in, her previously cheerful face suddenly turned cold...

"Should we ask Han Yu if he can expand the reef location a bit more?"

Ling Wuce spoke, while Quan Xiaotong was smiling mysteriously.

"Go later, it’s a battleground over there now."

Quan Xiaotong lightly curled his lips, revealing a faint smile.

"No, it’s boring doing it this way, you know?"

Ling Wuce sighed helplessly on the side, who would’ve thought Quan Xiaotong would be so interested in matters of love?

Also, knowing there’s a Bai Family girl at the Northern Border, and still bringing her over.

"I did inform him."

Quan Xiaotong smiled with squinted eyes, he indeed had informed, but Han Yu was comatose, and the promise was made by the spirit body within him.

As for whether the spirit body informed Han Yu, he doesn’t know.

Ling Wuce felt somewhat helpless, thinking this was creating chaos, that Wood Divine Power girl went over, and that Nanli Sword Studio’s Saintess also went, now the Bai Family girl is here too.

How does this make sense?

"Having too many romantic interests may not be a good thing."

Ling Wuce, as an old hand with centuries of experience, spoke with seasoned wisdom.

Quan Xiaotong looked at his solitary companion, struggling not to laugh as he spoke.

"There’s really nothing to be done, as peers, there’s no one in Central Continent more outstanding than him."

It might be somewhat amusing, but Emperor Han’s name is known only to Han Yu himself anymore.

One, Han Yu has always interacted with people like them, rarely having the chance to interact with outsiders, or the ones he does are familiar faces, naturally it wasn’t mentioned.

Two, Quan Xiaotong intentionally suppressed it, not wanting to create undue pressure on Han Yu.

"You’re also giving him pressure, he might not truly understand matters of love."

Ling Wuce laughed and cursed as he spoke.

"It doesn’t need him to understand, as long as those girls do."

Quan Xiaotong smiled and said.

Han Yu didn’t understand anything, he only knew the atmosphere was now painfully awkward.

And why does he suddenly feel a creepy sensation in his heart?

In the room, perhaps only Lily remains fairly normal, originally loud and boisterous, now suddenly quieting down.

Because she also sensed the atmosphere was extremely subtle...
