Chapter 270: Golden Crystal
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen did not know how to describe what he felt at the time. After crossing mountains, rivers, and the ocean, it turned out that the golden lion came to the desolate island just to give birth to its offspring.
The golden mountain seemed to be a volcano with a large basin on top. The golden lion was crouching inside the basin, howling.
Han Sen had got off the lion's back and watched the lion for seven days. In the beginning, he thought the lion might have gotten sick from eating too many red flowers, and wanted to see if the lion was going to die.
However, after crying for a week, the lion gave birth to an elephant-sized baby lion. It turned out the lion came here to give birth.
"So it just gave birth to its baby. End of story." Han Sen sighed and prepared to leave.
The golden lion was so strong that Han Sen would not survive its attack even though it was weak from giving birth.
As Han Sen turned around, he suddenly heard a shrill scream from the lion, which suddenly spit out a large amount of golden blood.
Han Sen paused. There was no other creature here, so why would the lion suddenly spit out blood?
Momentarily, the golden lion spit out more blood like a fountain.
As Han Sen was surprised, he suddenly saw a golden crystal globe with a diameter of 3 feet.
The crystal was as brilliant as a diamond and seemed to have the entire galaxy sparkling inside it.
Han Sen gazed at it and thought, "What is that?"
After spitting out the miraculous golden crystal, the golden lion stopped roaring and tried to separate the crystal from its blood with its paw.
Because of its giant size, the lion had a hard time moving the golden crystal in front of the baby lion that it just gave birth to, which had not even opened its eyes.
"Roar!" After doing all that, the golden lion regarded the baby lion licking the golden crystal and closed its eyes. It seemed that it had died.
Han Sen was dumbstruck. He wasn't sure if the golden lion was really dead, but blood kept coming out of its mouth and the basin and became an inch-deep pool. There was no way the lion would live.
The baby lion that was just born had no idea what had happened. With its eyes still closed, it was holding the golden crystal with two paws and licking it with its tongue.
"Let's do this." Han Sen was good at assassination and was very sensitive about how lively a creature was. It was obvious that the golden lion had died.
The golden crystal it spit out seemed to be something quite precious. Han Sen watched the baby lion licking it became stronger after a while.
Han Sen gritted his teeth, summoned wings and flew into the basin. He drew the beetle knight spear and stuck it between the baby lion and the golden crystal. Using the spear as a lever, he moved the golden crystal away from the baby lion's paws. The golden crystal rolled away toward the wall.
The baby lion became upset. Being just born, it could not even open its eyes or stand up, and its paws were still weak. All it could do was to sniff in the direction of the golden crystal and make puerile growling.
Han Sen had flown into the air, observing the giant golden lion from afar. Seeing it remained completely still, Han Sen then felt relaxed and flew toward the golden crystal. He first knocked at it with his spear. It sounded like a stone.
Han Sen reached out to touch it; it did feel cool.
"The lion would not do any harm to its baby, right? Since the baby lion could lick it, there should be no problem." Han Sen glanced at the growling baby lion, which was struggling to come over, and made up his mind. He too licked at the golden crystal.
As his tongue touched the golden crystal, he felt the crystal melting into liquid. Although there was not much taste, the cooling sense was refreshing.
As he drank it, Han Sen felt a chill. It felt that all his spores were suddenly open and that he had more energy than he could use.
"Amazing stuff indeed!" Han Sen felt so energetic and overjoyed that he licked the crystal continuously. It was like sucking on an icicle. The faster he licked, the more liquid he got. Very soon, Han Sen had licked away a football-sized piece of crystal.
As he was drinking the golden liquid, he almost felt reborn.
Energy filled all of his cells.
"What is this? This is much better than Viagra! This must be the life essence of the golden lion?" Han Sen was overjoyed, as he knew the golden crystal must be something amazing.
The baby lion quickly struggled to get up. Han Sen pondered and tried to hold the golden crystal up, which was lighter than he had thought, just around 200 pounds. Han Sen held it up and flew to the other end of the basin.
The baby lion wouldn't give up. Sniffing around, it kept crawling, persistent to get the crystal back.
"I did not want to kill you because you are just a baby. But since you will not give up, I will have no mercy." Han Sen made up his mind and stabbed the spear at the baby lion.
Ding!
The spear did not even break the baby lion's skin. The spear head was even bounced back by its fur.
Han Sen widened his eyes and looked at the baby lion incredulously.

Chapter 271: Super Gene
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The spear was from the beetle knight and could be compared to any sacred-blood beast soul weapon, yet it did not even break the fur of a baby lion. How could that be?
Even if the golden lion was a strong creature, the baby was just born and already had such a strong physique.
Han Sen did not manage to hurt the baby lion, but irritated it. Stimulated by the pain, the baby lion opened its eyes. Although its eyes were not completely open, a fierce look had appeared in its golden pupils.
Managing to stand up, the baby lion let out a tender roar, throwing itself at Han Sen.
Although it was not steady, the baby lion was rather fierce.
Han Sen clenched his fists and poked at the baby lion's eye with the spear. Han Sen was using the spinning force this time, and the spear head was jabbed into the lion's eye like an electric drill.
"Roar!" The baby lion let out a painful cry and rolled over.
Han Sen became even more shocked. The spear carried all his strength and was targeted at an eye, which was the most vulnerable part of the whole body. Even so, the baby lion's eye was still intact.
"S*#t! It is impossible to hurt it." Han Sen fought the baby lion using the spear, which was like a toy in front of the baby. Although it could bring the lion pain, it could not really hurt it.
Han Sen almost doubted that the spear was a fake, and changed to the diamond sword and the three-blade harpoon. However, no matter what weapon he used, where he attacked, the golden lion would only suffer a bit pain.
The golden lion, on the other hand, became more and more fierce. Gradually, it's could steady itself and became stronger and faster.
Although the baby lion could not threaten Han Sen yet, it would be able to very soon. Since Han Sen could not harm it, the baby lion was undefeatable.
When the baby lion got tired, it would lie down and rest. When it got hungry, it would feed on the golden blood. As time went by, the baby lion grew stronger and stronger.
Han Sen felt terrible. He had used everything he got, but there was no way he could kill the baby lion.
Eventually, Han Sen decided to take off with the golden crystal when the baby lion was still little.
It was not because he did not want to kill the baby lion, but because he has no way to do that. He had tried everything but could not even break its fur. There was little point in staying there.
Han Sen flew into the sky holding the golden crystal, with the baby lion roaring and jumping underneath. Unfortunately, the baby lion was just a baby and could not perform at the same level as its parent. Although it could jump 3 feet high, there was little it could do to Han Sen.
"What a freak!" Han Sen glanced at the baby lion, left the golden mountain, and landed on the island.
There were many creatures in the ocean, so Han Sen could not fly far with the golden crystal. If he happened to encounter some strong creatures, it would be a lot of trouble.
On the island, there were just the dead golden lion and the baby lion, so he should be safe temporarily as long as the baby lion could not come down the mountain yet.
Han Sen planned to eat the golden crystal first and then leave the island.
Racing against time, Han Sen licked the golden crystal the first chance he got. As he drank the golden liquid until he was full, he suddenly heard a voice, "Life essence of super creature golden growler consumed. One super Geno point gained."
Han Sen suddenly widened his eyes, as if he were struck by a lightning bolt. He almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.
As he recovered from his surprise, he quickly checked his own data.
Han Sen: unevolved
Status: none
Lifespan: 200
Requirement for next evolution: 100 geno points
Geno points gained: 100 ordinary geno points, 100 primitive geno points, 84 mutant geno points, 61 sacred geno points, 1 super geno point.
Han Sen was dazed for a long while, and suddenly let out a laughter. He laughed so hard that tears came out.
"Super gene… Super gene! Ha-ha, it turns out there is super gene beyond sacred gene. Sacred genes are not the end…" Han Sen could not begin to describe his excitement.
Humans had discovered God's Sanctuary for almost two centuries, and had been constantly growing. In the beginning, it was very difficult for humans to survive here. It was difficult for the beginners to kill even a mutant creature, let alone a sacred-blood creature.
However, with the development of hyper geno arts in the evolution of more and more people, it became easier to hunt advanced creatures.
In recent decades, in First God's Sanctuary, there had been more and more people who evolved with every type of Geno points maxed out.
However, until now, no one had come up with the concept of super genes, which probably meant that no one had really killed a super creature before.
Even if one had seen a super creature, it was not likely that one had the ability to kill it. Han Sen had witnessed how strong the golden growler was. Even the baby golden growler was quite frightening.
Han Sen was already among the top of those who were in first God's Sanctuary, but even he could not hurt a newborn super creature. It was easy to imagine why human had never learned the existence of super creatures and super genes.
Even if the entire Steel Armor Shelter came to attack the adult golden growler, Han Sen believed the result would still be the death of every human.
It was the same as when there was no one who had maxed out on sacred-blood geno points or gained a sacred-blood beast soul, no one could kill a sacred-blood creature.
When Son of Heaven killed the bloody slayer, he still had to use a sacred-blood beast soul arrow.
Now, human did not have super geno points or super beast soul, so it would be almost impossible to kill a super creature.

Chapter 272: Life Essence
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen finally understood why he could not even hurt the baby golden growler. They were not even on the same level. Although the golden growler was just born, it obviously had the characteristics of a super creature already.
"The black crystal that I got from that black beetle, could it also be the life essence of some super creature?"
Han Sen thought about it and defeated his own theory.
The black crystal didn't melt like the life essence of the golden growler, otherwise it was so small that it would be gone by now. The black crystal did not change a bit.
Han Sen did not have too much time to think. Holding the life essence, whenever he felt he could eat again, he would suck on the golden crystal until he was stuffed.
Hearing the voice sounding in his mind again and again, Han Sen felt that must be the happiest thing in life. Han Sen thought that his trip was totally worth it at this point.
It took Han Sen more than a week to finish the entire block of life essence, and he got 10 super geno points, which surprised Han Sen.
Originally, Han Sen thought that he must eat the entire super creature as well to get all 10 geno points, which did not seem to be the case. Maybe for super creatures, the geno points were concentrated in the life essence it carried.
In fact, Han Sen went back to the basin, trying to eat some of the golden growler's meat. However, he soon discovered that since he could not even hurt the baby golden growler, he had no way to consume the body of the giant lion.
Although he felt disheartened, Han Sen did not have any good methods. He had to comfort himself that maybe the meat of the golden growler would do nothing.
"I wonder how humans were able to kill the first sacred-blood creature." Han Sen was pondering, but had no conclusions. In God's Sanctuary, there was no Skynet for him to consult.
He hesitated and flew away from the island. Since he could not kill the baby golden growler, he should not stay there anymore. As the golden growler grew faster and faster, he might end up getting killed by it.
Luckily, Han Sen had sacred-blood wings. Otherwise, he would not even be able to cross the ocean.
With his experience following the golden growler, Han Sen learned how big and complicated the God's Sanctuary was. Now he was taking extra care wherever he went.
Han Sen thought that his trip over the ocean might be highly risky. After all, he could no longer tell the directions on the ocean and there were plenty of marine beasts. Although those beasts could not reach him in the sky, the sacred-blood birds might endanger him.
Maybe it was luck. Han Sen flew for two days without running into any danger, and also killed a mutant fish, whose meat contributed two more mutant geno points. At this point, Han Sen had 86 mutant Geno points.
More fortunately, Han Sen even saw an island and a large modern ship next to it.
Although there were no visible electronic equipment, Han Sen could still tell from the material of the ship that it was a high-tech product. It even had the inscription "Moon Goddess" on it.
However, the ship seemed to be gravely damaged and weathered. It must have been here for a long time.
That did not matter to Han Sen. Since there was a ship on the island, there must be people too. Maybe there was even a shelter on the island, which would be fantastic. That way, Han Sen could use the teleport system to go back to school.
He had been in God's Sanctuary for several months and never sent any message back. He must have already missed the semiannual assessment. He was not that worried about the assessment, but he knew that Ji Yanran must have been worried sick.
When Han Sen came close, he no longer felt good about it. The island was neither big nor small. Han Sen could see the entire island from the sky, but he did not notice any buildings.
Landing on the island, Han Sen took back on his beast souls and was ready to find somewhere to have a rest. Suddenly, he saw a person walking out from the jungle.
Seeing Han Sen, that person paused, waved to Han Sen and ran over.
The existence of human beings made Han Sen felt better about the place. He believed this meant the place was not too far away from a civilized location.
Although humans could teleport the parts of ships and piece them together in God's Sanctuary, no ship had modern energy system since no technologies could be used here, which was why all the ships could only sail in a small range. In addition, the ocean was a more dangerous place than the land in God's Sanctuary, so no one dared to go too far with a ship.
Normally speaking, ships were used to go to the surrounding areas and hunt weak marine creatures.
Han Sen regarded the person, who was a 20-year-old young woman wearing a blue beast soul armor. She looked at Han Sen excitedly.
"Are you from Green Island?" The young woman asked with a trembling voice.
"I'm sorry. I don't know where Green Island is." Han Sen shook his head and wanted to ask the woman where he was.
At this time, a few more persons ran from the jungle nearby. They were all about the same age as the woman.
They were equally excited when seeing Han Sen. Everyone was asking Han Sen all kinds of questions. But the most frequent one was the woman's question—"Are you from Green Island?"
"I am sorry. I am not from Green Island. I came from Steel Armor Shelter, suffered a ship wreck and ended up here. May I ask where I am?"
Hearing Han Sen's reply, these people suddenly became extremely disappointed.

Chapter 273: Colleagues
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
No one would answer Han Sen's question. All the people went back into the jungle.
"Miss, what is this about?" Han Sen caught up with the woman he saw first and asked.
The woman said indifferently, "Now you're here, it is like you are sentenced to life. You now have a lot of time to discover what this is about."
She soon came back to the jungle like everyone else.
Han Sen could guess that they probably suffered a ship wreck and ended up here. However, he still wanted to figure out where he was. After all, they must have taken a ship here and should have an idea about the location of the island and how far it was to the nearest shelter.
Han Sen quickly followed those people, who did not intend to chase him away either. Very soon, Han Sen followed them through the forest and arrived at a cave.
Inside the cave there were many supplies produced in the Alliance. It was a large cave with bonfire inside, so it's almost felt like camping.
Han Sen could tell that these people had been living here for a long time. They were more than a dozen people of the same age.
From Han Sen's perspective, these people were about the same age as Qin Xuan. But Qin Xuan only stayed in First God's Sanctuary for a long time because she wanted to max out her sacred geno points. These people obviously did not have the same intention.
"Newbie, if you want to stay here, you must obey our rules and do your job. Otherwise we do not have extra food to waste on you," said a serious guy to Han Sen.
"There are plenty of creatures in the ocean and on the island, so I think I will be able to feed myself," Han Sen smiled and said.
The group watched Han Sen with contempt, as if they had heard something funny. No one spoke though. It was as if they didn't even deign to mock him.
The guy's continued, "We are all unfortunate people. Here is a reminder: the Windend Island is full of danger. Do not wander around, otherwise you might lose your life."
"What kind of danger?" asked Han Sen in surprise.
The guy did not speak but a skinny guy next to him cut in, "There are sacred-blood creatures on the Windend Island. Are you able to kill those?"
"Sacred-blood creatures? I did kill a few." Han Sen laughed.
"Boy, you should know who you were bragging to before you brag. Do you know who we are?" said the skinny guy with his lips curled.
"I would be more than happy to know." Han Sen was curious about these people.
"Have you heard about the special squad?" asked the skinny guy complacently.
"You are members of the special squad?" Han Sen regarded the group in surprise.
Han Sen did not expect to meet people from the same organization on a desolate island.
"Since you have heard about the special squad, you must be a well-informed person yourself. You should know what we do. And since even we could hardly survive the place, do you know what you should do in the future?" Said the skinny guy.
"Such a coincidence. I am also in the special squad. I wonder which shelter are you in charge of?" asked Han Sen with a smile.
"What? You're also a member of the special squad?" The skinny guy looked to Han Sen in surprise.
Other people were also shocked and seemed to doubt what Han Sen had said. Han Sen did seem quite young. He would be 18 years old at most.
Although the members of the special squad in First God's Sanctuary were young, due to the high criteria for the members, those who could join were generally over 20, who would have a better geno point count and richer experience in God's Sanctuary.
"My name is Han Sen, head of Steel Armor Special Squad." Han Sen told them his identity, which was no secret, so there was no point to hide it from them.
"Are you kidding me? At your age, you would be lucky to become a member. Head my ass!" The skinny guy smirked and did not believe Han Sen would be the head. He then pointed to the guy who spoke first and told Han Sen, "Boy, see? This is what a head looks like. This is our captain, Fu Shan."
"Hi, I am Han Sen from Steel Armor Special Squad. Which shelter are you from?" Han Sen felt lucky to meet members from the special squad.
The skinny guy thought Han Sen was lying and became angry. Before he wanted to say something, Fu Shan stopped him.
Fu Shan looked Han Sen up and down and said, "As far as I know, the head of Steel Armor Special Squad is Qin Xuan, and her deputy is Yang Manli. They're both ladies and there is no guy in the leadership. I have never heard of the name Han Sen."
"You must have been trapped here for more than half a year?" Han Sen's gaze swept across the group.
"So what?" the skinny guy stared at Han Sen and asked.
"No wonder you did not know that Qin Xuan had gone to Second God's Sanctuary and I am the new head of Steel Armor Special Squad." Han Sen smiled and said.
Unfortunately, he did not bring his identity card with him and could not use the Skynet to prove himself either.
"We can't just take your word for it. Show us your ID." The skinny guy still did not believe him.
"I do not have my ID with me. If you don't believe me, I don't have a way to persuade you." Han Sen spread his hands and said, "There is no point for me to lie to you, so why would I do that?"
The woman whom Han Sen saw first suddenly looked at Han Sen and asked, "You should know Qin Xuan very well then?"
"Yes," Han Sen thought about it and nodded.
"Then you must know what was behind her left ear?" The woman asked slowly.
The whole group was watching Han Sen, awaiting his reply.
"If I remember correctly, there is nothing behind Qin Xuan's left ear, but a small red birthmark behind her right ear," said Han Sen casually. He had been in numerous combats with Qin Xuan and knew this very well.

Chapter 274: Ghost-Eyed Bear
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fu Shan and everyone else looked to the woman. Obviously, they didn't know whether Han Sen was telling the truth either.
The woman let out a sigh of relief, "You're right. Qin Xuan does have a small red birthmark behind her right ear. However, she usually covers it with her hair, so ordinary people would not be able to see that."
The woman said to Han Sen, "Although I'm not sure if you are really the head of the special squad, now I know you are indeed close to Qin Xuan."
"Miss, are you also in the special squad?" Han Sen asked the woman. He believed that others were from the special squad because they looked like it. However, this woman did not.
"My name is Xu Ruyan. I'm sort of a client of the special squad," the woman said with a smile.
Han Sen realized something and said, "So you're the one who hired them to sail here?"
Xu Ruyan smiled bitterly and said, "This is not our original destination. We were attacked by a giant sacred-blood creature on our way and ended up here. We have been trapped here for about a year."
"A year… No wonder you do not know me," thought Han Sen.
Han Sen continued to ask, "Where is this place? Do you know how far we are from the nearest shelter?"
The skinny guy named Liu Zhi said, "It's pointless to ask that. Even if you could fly, you would not be able to get away from this place."
"How so?" Han Sen was puzzled. When he came to the island, he did not find any advanced flying creatures.
Maybe the group had believed that Han Sen was indeed one of the special squad, Liu Zhi and Xu Ruyan told Han Sen everything about their situation.
Liu Zhi was being dramatic. There were indeed no flying creatures near this place, but there was a sacred-blood marine beast wandering around the island, scaring them away from hunting creatures in the ocean.
On the island, there was only one type of creature, which looked like gigantic bears. They moved swiftly and could even walk on the mountain walls. With a vertical eye on their foreheads, these creatures had incredible eyesight, they were mostly primitive creatures and few of them were mutant creatures. Their king was a sacred-blood creature.
The king of the ghost-eyed bears was much stronger and faster than others. It was almost impossible to hurt it and it had clever tactics, which made the special squad members feel quite helpless.
All of them had to live on the wild plants and mushrooms in the forest, while avoiding the ghost-eyed bear group at the same time, which was why they were leading a hard life.
In the beginning, they did not know how strong the ghost-eyed bears were and tried to hunt them down, which caused a great loss. They used to have nearly 30 members in the group, but after the fight, they only had a dozen people left.
Yet the ghost-eyed bear King only lost a few primitive ghost-eyed bears.
However, among the deceased, only one person belonged to the special squad. The squad used to have 10 members and now there were nine. As for the other deceased, they all worked for Xu Ruyan. What surprised Han Sen was the fact that Xu Ruyan was in the management of starry group.
Han Sen also learned that they came from the Green Shelter on Green Island. Now they only knew that it took a ship half a month to arrive at Green Island from where they were. Other than the fact that Green Island was in the west, they had no idea where its specific location was. After all, after being attacked by the sacred-blood marine beast, they were completely lost.
Xu Ruyan would not tell what they came here for, and being employed by Xu Ruyan, the special squad could not leak the details of their mission either.
However, Han Sen could tell that Xu Ruyan was quite somebody, as they had been trapped on the island for a very long time, but others would still listen to her.
"Xu Ruyan, I am also in the special squad. How about you and I make a deal?" Asked Han Sen after learning everything.
"We have ended up here. What deal can I possibly make?" Xu Ruyan frowned. Han Sen was someone she could not see through.
Xu Ruyan knew Qin Xuan, and had an idea about where Steel Armor Shelter was, which was far from this place.
She did not believe what Han Sen said, but was surprised that he knew Qin Xuan.
Ordinary people could not know about the red birthmark behind Qin Xuan's right ear.
"Miss Xu, what plan have you now? Do you want to be trapped here forever?" Han Sen did not reply to her, but asked with a smile.
"Other than waiting for a rescue team, what can I possibly do?" asked Xu Ruyan.
"I believe you must be someone important enough for the Starry Group to send a team. However, if they could find this place, I don't believe it would take a whole year. They haven't come so far, which means this is a hard place to find. Even if they don't give up, I wonder when they will be able to locate you," said Han Sen.
Everyone's expression changed slightly. Of course, they knew this. However, the rescue team was their only hope at present.
"What do you want to say?" Xu Ruyan asked, displeased. Han Sen's words worked against her authority in the group.
The reason why everyone still looked up to her was that they believed people would come for Xu Ruyan's rescue.
"I mean, while you're waiting on the island, don't you want to eat better?" Han Sen asked calmly.
"You have food?" Xu Ruyan watched Han Sen, unable to see any possibility of him carrying a large amount of food.
"I don't have any food with me, but there is plenty of food on this island," Han Sen smiled and said.
"You're thinking about the ghost-eyed bears? I think you should give up. I don't want to see anyone die." Xu Ruyan was terribly disappointed in Han Sen's idea.
If they had any chance at hunting the ghost-eyed bears, they wouldn't wait until this day.
Xu Ruyan did not even believe that Han Sen was the head of Steel Armor Special Squad. Even if he was, that would not change anything.
Fu Shan was the head of a special squad and had a whole team with him. He did not have much chance against the ghost-eyed bear either.
Being alone, Han Sen had no advantage whatsoever.

Chapter 275: Hunting Alone
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Ruyan did not want to say anything to Han Sen anymore. She said she was tired and returned to her tent.
Without actually seeing the ghost-eyed bears, Han Sen suggested to hunt them, which left Xu Ruyan with a terrible impression.
Before Han Sen could even suggest a deal, Xu Ruyan expressed her distrust. But Han Sen didn't care. When he had the meat of ghost-eyed bear, he believed Xu Ruyan would beg for a deal.
Xu Ruyan must have a lot of resources to be able to hire the entire Green Special Squad. Han Sen felt he was responsible to blackmail her in order to thank God for sending him here.
In addition, Han Sen hated everyone in Starry Group. And she would be no exception.
"Brother, you should be practical. Do not mess with ghost-eyed bear," Liu Zhi patted Han Sen on the shoulder and said.
Obviously, members of green special squad did not believe Han Sen could hunt ghost-eyed bears. They had been trapped on the island for a very long time and had a million strategies, yet none worked.
The terrain on the Windend Island was very complicated. With their strength and flexibility, the ghost-eyed bears could easily move around. The sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear king and a dozen mutant ghost-eyed bears cost them a lot of good men when they had more people. Han Sen alone would never make it.
"Fu Shan, are interest in my deal?" Han Sen did not answer Liu Zhi but asked Fu Shan.
"Tell me about it." Out of everyone's expectation, Fu Shan did not turn down Han Sen directly.
"Captain, what's to talk about with this guy? Do not believe his words," said Liu Zhi hurriedly.
Other members also tried to talk Fu Shan out of it, but Fu Shan only gestured everyone to keep silent.
Han Sen smiled and said, "Fu Shan, since we are all in the special squad, how about we hunt the ghost-eyed bears together? Afterwards, I will take the meat of the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear, and we can share the rest half-and-half. What do you think?"
Fu Shan frowned. Han Sen was being too arrogant indeed. He did believe Han Sen had something special about him, otherwise it would be impossible for him to come here alone. However, Han Sen's words still made him cringe.
"Boy, you have no place to talk like that," said Liu Zhi impatiently.
"Really?" Han Sen of course disagreed.
When he just came to the island, he saw some of the ghost-eyed bears from the sky. Ghost-eyed bear was not a unique species to the island, and Han Sen had seen them before.
On the way he came here on the back of the golden growler, Han Sen had seen a sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear from a large group swallowed by the lion alive. The sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear had no chance of survival in front of the golden growler. Han Sen did not even know it was called ghost-eyed bear at the time being.
Before being swallowed, the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear tried to resist, and Han Sen had learned what it could do.
It was indeed very strong in terms of speed and strength. The scariest part was its vertical third eye, which gave it an ability similar to the fairy queen.
After it opened its third eye, it was even able to avoid a strike from the golden growler. However, that was all it could do. Han Sen believed that the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear was merely a bit stronger than the sacred-blood creature he killed in the Sand Valley.
Because of the terrain and the number of the ghost-eyed bears, it was indeed difficult for them. Han Sen, on the other hand, had sacred-blood wings and was a great assassin. He could use the color shifter beast soul to launch a sneak attack and did not need to fight the ghost-eyed bear head on.
If the members of green special squad were willing to help, Han Sen was able to take out the entire ghost-eyed bear group. Without their help, Han Sen could do the same, which only took longer.
A cut of half the meat was a great deal for the special squad fellows. Also, Han Sen wanted to finish up the business here earlier in order to go back to the shelter sooner.
However, since they would not help, Han Sen did not bring it up again.
After resting for a night, Han Sen left the cave and decided to hunt a ghost-eyed bear to show the group, especially Xu Ruyan, so that he would be able to blackmail her.
"Are you really going to hunt the ghost-eyed bears?" Asked Xu Ruyan, standing in front of the cave.
"You could expect a ghost-eyed bear for lunch, but do think about what price you are willing to pay." Han Sen waved at Xu Ruyan without turning back and marched into the jungle.
"Fu Shan, what do you think?" Xu Ruyan looked at Fu Shan, as he did not realize Han Sen would dare to hunt ghost-eyed bear alone.
"Just some brat. If he wants to die, let him. I do not believe he is from the special squad, let alone the head." Liu Zhi had never seen someone like Han Sen in the organization.
Xu Ruyan did not reply. She still believed Han Sen was someone special, although she could not tell how.
"I could not see through this person. However, I could not risk the lives of my team members," Fu Shan pondered and said. He also believed that Han Sen was somebody, but as the head of the special squad, he could not take such risks on behalf of his team members.
Xu Ruyan nodded. Same as Fu Shan, she was not willing to take more risks.
"I hope that he will not die in the jungle." Fu Shan sighed. Although he thought Han Sen was special, it was almost impossible for someone to survive the attack of the ghost-eyed bear group. Once noticed by the ghost-eyed bears, one was unlikely to run away.
Last time, they had to sacrifice a dozen lives before they were able to get away.
Xu Ruyan saw Han Sen disappear in the jungle and had complex emotions. She did not believe that Han Sen could really hunt a ghost-eyed bear either.
Other people thought Han Sen was either mad or arrogant to hunt the ghost-eyed bear alone. If Han Sen was not killed by the Ghost-eyed bear, he would probably ask for food from them.

Chapter 276: Blown Away
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After going into the jungle, Han Sen followed a trail and sneaked into the habitat of the ghost-eyed bears.
Before the deal was made, Han Sen did not plan to wipe out the entire ghost-eyed bear group. He decided to kill one first and go back to negotiate.
A ghost-eyed bear was around 6 feet tall and covered in brown fur like steel brush. With a vertical eye on its forehead, it was able to come and go easily on the mountain walls.
In the mountains, Han Sen shapeshifted into the color shifter silently.
The ghost-eyed bears were moving around, while Han Sen was lurking in the dark. His goal was a mutant ghost-eyed bear, which would make Xu Ruyan more willing to pay.
"No wonder they were not able to kill any Ghost-eyed bear. The terrain does not work in anyone's favor." Han Sen looked around and saw cliffs everywhere. The ghost-eyed bears were able to run on the cliffs, which made them impossible to kill.
Fu Shan and Xu Ruyan led different teams to collect food and left a few people to guard the cave. Although they had a lot of plants and mushrooms saved in the cave, it would not hurt to have more food supply around.
After going out for a while, they suddenly heard howling from the ghost-eyed bears' habitat.
"Did he really go?" exclaimed Liu Zhi.
They knew from the sound that the ghost-eyed bears had noticed the intruder. There was one howling after another, so it seemed that the entire group was chasing Han Sen.
"It's a pity. He did not last too long." Xu Ruyan sighed.
The howling stopped after a long while. The group did not dare to stay out for long. Since the ghost-eyed bear group had been provoked by Han Sen, it would be terribly dangerous for them to run into the bears.
Xu Ruyan and Fu Shan discussed briefly and decided to give up on looking for food, ready to go back to the cave.
"A mutant ghost-eyed bear!" Not far from the cave, they suddenly saw a huge ghost-eyed bear, which scared everyone. People quickly summoned their beast souls and then found out the ghost-eyed bear did not move and was actually on someone's back. The person carried the dead ghost-eyed bear and walked toward them.
Watching the ghost-eyed bear moving up and down as the person walked, everyone widened their eyes.
"It's the boy… He did not die, and really hunted a ghost-eyed bear, a mutant one…" Liu Zhi saw the person's face and exclaimed. The others were also shocked, unable to believe their eyes. Han Sen was really able to hunt a Ghost-eyed bear, and the mutant one, which was incredible.
The first time they went, half of the people died and they were only able to kill some primitive ghost-eyed bears. Not a single mutant one was killed. The creature had incredible speed and strength. To kill one of them on the cliff was almost impossible.
However, Han Sen alone hunted a mutant ghost-eyed bear back.
Fu Shan looked Han Sen up and down and did not see a single injury on Han Sen's body, which surprised him even more.
It was obvious from the howling that the entire ghost-eyed bear group was alarmed, but Han Sen still came back safe and sound, taking the body of a mutant ghost-eyed bear, which made him wonder how strong Han Sen must be to be able to achieve this.
Xu Ruyan also noticed that and was rendered speechless.
"Did you really hunt the ghost-eyed bear yourself?" When Han Sen came close, Liu Zhi asked.
"I believe so, unless this thing is not called a ghost-eyed bear." Han Sen smiled and continued toward the cave with the body of the ghost-eyed bear on his back.
The body of the ghost-eyed bear was too big, and he was not very interested in consuming it himself. He intended to leverage this mutant ghost-eyed bear to negotiate a deal with Xu Ruyan, so he made sure that everyone saw it.
When the people guarding the cave saw Han Sen come back with a mutant Ghost-eyed bear, they were surprised as well.
"Miss Xu, are you interested in a deal now?" Han Sen scanned everyone's face and asked Xu Ruyan.
"Very much so." Xu Ruyan's eyes lit up.
They were all trapped here for more than a year. In the beginning, they had some meat jerky to eat, and after that they had to go vegan. It had been a while since they had any taste of meat. Seeing the body of the dead ghost-eyed bear, they immediately thought of barbecue.
Of course, Xu Ruyan was thinking more than just this mutant ghost-eyed bear.
Since Han Sen was able to kill a mutant creature so easily, it meant he could wipe out all the ghost-eyed bears. If he could do that, they could benefit from more than just the meat.
In fact, they had been lying to Han Sen from the very beginning. Their destination was always this island because they wanted something here.
They did, however, run into an accident on the sea. That part was true. After they got here, they were not able to get what they wanted because of the ghost-eyed bears.
Surprisingly, Han Sen was strong enough to wipe out all the ghost-eyed bears, which was fantastic for Xu Ruyan.
Xu Ruyan believed that someone would eventually come to their rescue. It was just a matter of time for the Starry Group to locate this island. If she was able to get what she wanted before they came, that would be the best.
Otherwise, she would be no more than a failure. If she obtained that thing after the rescue team came, the credit would no longer be hers.
Xu Ruyan watched Han Sen with desire. Although she did not know how Han Sen achieved that, she believed his presence would work in her favor.
"So, Sen, what's the deal?" Xu Ruyan looked to Han Sen and softened her voice.

Chapter 277: Market Price
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"It depends on how good your appetite is," Han Sen said, grinning.
"How much do you want for this mutant ghost-eyed bear?" As calculative as Xu Ruyan, she would not easily expose her real objective.
Xu Ruyan was secretly thinking that it would be fine for her to pay a high price for this mutant ghost-eyed bear. She could even pay more for Han Sen to hunt a few more mutant ones. There were in total a dozen mutant ghost-eyed bears. As long as Han Sen killed them all, one sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear would not be such a big threat to the group. By then, her goal would be achieved.
However, Xu Ruyan did not realize that Xu Ruyan was planning on the blackmail from the very beginning.
"I would not elaborate on the value of this mutant Ghost-eyed bear. According to market price, you can have it for 100 million," said Han Sen, narrowing his eyes.
When the group heard the phrase "market price," they were optimistic, because based on the market price, the meat of a mutant creature would be 2 to 3 million. Even he doubled it, that would be a small amount. However, Han Sen's price made her cringe.
Liu Zhi opened his mouth wide and thought, "A mutant creature for 100 million, what kind of market price is that?"
"Han Sen, this is a bit too high. Even a rare mutant creature would only be marked 2 to 3 million on the market. Even if I am willing to pay you 10 times that price, that would be 20 to 30 million. Don't you think 100 million is too much?" Xu Ruyan frowned at Han Sen.
"You're right, outside this island, that is the market price. However, we are in a different place, so of course we have a different price. Here, the market price is 100 million each. If you think it's too expensive, that's fine as well. I will just keep it for myself." Han Sen remained calm and smiled.
"Han Sen, we are all unfortunate people and should help one another. Don't you think you're being too selfish? In addition, you're also the head of the special squad and a colleague of many people here. Would you sell them at the same price?" Xu Ruyan suddenly had an idea.
If Han Sen answered yes, then everyone would be mad at him. If he said no, then it would be the same whether he sold it to Xu Ruyan or Fu Shan.
Xu Ruyan did not care if she cannot eat the meat. As long as Han Sen could wipe out all the mutant ghost-eyed bears, she would be achieving her goal.
"Of course, I always have the same and fair price for everyone." Han Sen then looked to the green special squad, "And I did invite them to cooperate before. It is not my fault that they turned me down."
Liu Zhi blushed when hearing Han Sen's words. He was the one who objected the most and thought Han Sen was a lunatic.
Xu Ruyan heard Han Sen's words and was secretly excited. She kept a straight face and snorted, "Han Sen, aren't you afraid that everyone will turn on you? Or are you not in the special squad at all?"
Since Han Sen came back, Xu Ruyan and her men were circling Han Sen and the mutant ghost-eyed bear. As Xu Ruyan made a long face, her people were also staring at Han Sen.
Obviously, Xu Ruyan was trying to threaten Han Sen. Originally, she was afraid that Fu Shan and his team might help Han Sen. As Han Sen's answer probably pissed off the entire special squad, she believed that Fu Shan would take her side if there was a fight.
After all, they were trapped on an island and had not had meat in a long time. Fu Shan should not reject working with Xu Ruyan against Han Sen.
"200 million." Han Sen came up with a price that doubled the last offer. He did not even raise an eyebrow, as if he did not hear Xu Ruyan's threatening remark.
"Fu Shan, this kind of behavior would never come from someone in the special squad. We should control him and interrogate him," said Xu Ruyan.
Xu Ruyan thought Fu Shan would work with her for sure. After all, the special squad members were also checking out the mutant ghost-eyed bear greedily, and they did not have any affection toward Han Sen either.
To her surprise, Fu Shan shook his head and said, "I have no idea whether he is in the special squad, and that doesn't concern me."
Fu Shan ordered everyone on his team to step aside. It was obvious that he did not want to meddle in this matter.
Although his team members wondered why Fu Shan made the decision, they had a lot of trust in their captain and followed his order.
Xu Ruyan was dumbstruck. Based on her understanding, Fu Shan was a rational person. Even if he did not want to harm Han Sen, he would agree to take the mutant ghost-eyed bear first. Fu Shan's decision forced Xu Ruyan to reevaluate Han Sen. The only explanation for Fu Shan to make a decision like this was that Fu Shan did not believe they could beat Han Sen.
"So, it seems that you do not want to deal with me." Han Sen picked up the mutant ghost-eyed bear.
"What are you doing?" Xu Ruyan did not dare to try to stop Han Sen.
"Since I'm not welcome here, I will find a place for my own. I have a mutant ghost-eyed bear anyway. If I eat it slowly, it could last me 3 to 5 months." Han Sen put the mutant ghost-eyed bear on his back.
"Fine, 100 million, I will purchase this mutant ghost-eyed bear," Xu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said.
What she needed was for Han Sen to kill the ghost-eyed bears. If Han Sen really hid somewhere and enjoyed the food for himself, that would defeat the purpose.
"The price is no longer 100 million. It is 200 million now." Han Sen's reply made Xu Ruyan want to strangle him.

Chapter 278: Real Purpose
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"200 million is fine. However, it is impossible for me to bring so much money to God's Sanctuary. I can write you a promissory note and the Starry Group will pay you in the Alliance." After calming down, Xu Ruyan had a strong desire to kill Han Sen.
It did not matter how many promissory notes she wrote Han Sen at this point, because the rescue team from the Starry Group would not let Han Sen live.
"Sorry, I only take cash," Han Sen turned Xu Ruyan down and looked her up and down, "although, you could pay me with beast souls as well."
Han Sen knew that they could not bring so much cash, and wanted their beast souls in the first place.
"What do you propose?" Xu Ruyan felt a stronger incentive to kill him.
"The market price for a sacred-blood beast soul would be around 100 or 200 million. So I would say a sacred-blood beast soul for a mutant ghost-eyed bear," Han Sen said to Xu Ruyan.
"It seems that you have no intention to make a serious deal." Xu Ruyan became annoyed. There was no way for her to trade a sacred-blood beast soul for a mutant creature.
"We're doing business, you could give me a counter-offer," said Han Sen, grinning.
"Five primitive beast souls for the mutant ghost-eyed bear," suggested Xu Ruyan.
"Five mutant beast souls are more like it…" said Han Sen, blinking.
After bargaining, Xu Ruyan was able to trade a mutant beast soul for the mutant ghost-eyed bear, which pleased Han Sen.
Both from a mutant creature, a beast soul was worth a lot more than the meat. In other places, this would be an impossible deal. As for the sacred-blood beast soul, Han Sen knew that Xu Ruyan would never give him that in the first place.
Han Sen chose a mutant mount beast soul from the three offered by Xu Ruyan. The mount was the most valuable. Han Sen did not need any mutant beast souls himself, and only wanted an expensive one to sell.
"Great working with you." Han Sen took the beast soul and smiled at Xu Ruyan. He left the cave soon after and did not want to stay in the same place with these people.
Xu Ruyan could not help walking toward Fu Shan, "Fu Shan, are you okay with him doing whatever he wants?" She was not trying to blame Fu Shan, but only wanted an answer.
"Look closely at the body of the mutant ghost-eyed bear," said Fu Shan calmly.
Xu Ruyan was dazed and walked toward the body of the mutant ghost-eyed bear.
The rest of the group also approached the body, trying to understand what Fu Shan meant.
Very soon, they all became silent. Originally, they saw much blood on the body and thought there must have been fierce combat between Han Sen and the ghost-eyed bear. However, with a closer look, they noticed that the blood on the body all came from a single cut.
The ghost-eyed bear was only cut in the throat and was not hurt anywhere else. It was obvious that it was killed with one blow, before it could make any struggle.
Everyone was shocked. To kill a mutant ghost-eyed bear in such a clean way was something incredible.
"Going into the ghost-eyed bear habitat alone, killing a mutant ghost-eyed bear with one blow and coming back with the body safe and sound, he is not someone we should view as an enemy," explained Fu Shan quietly.
He did not know whether Han Sen was indeed in the special squad. Even if Han Sen wasn't, Fu Shan did not want to antagonize him. If Han Sen was, then they belonged to the same organization and he had less reason to fight Han Sen.
Xu Ruyan did not speak. As Fu Shan had explained, whoever could achieve that was awe-inspiring.
Normally speaking, a mutant ghost-eyed bear would not stay too far away from a sacred-blood one. Xu Ruyan could not imagine how Han Sen managed to do that.
"So what? He is also trapped on this island now. When the rescue team comes, he will not be able to fly away," thought Xu Ruyan cruelly.
After leaving the cave, Han Sen flew to a high mountain and observed the entire island.
When he tried to blackmail Xu Ruyan, he felt something odd in her reactions.
Han Sen was asking for a ridiculous price, both to blackmail and to test her. Xu Ruyan's reactions and some details in her behavior made Han Sen believe that the island must be special.
Han Sen did not believe that someone like Xu Ruyan would pay such a high price and be so tolerant just to have a nice meal.
"Very likely their destination was this island in the first place. She probably wants something related to these ghost-eyed bears, otherwise she should not be so interested in them." Han Sen was more and more confident in his guess. As a great assassin, he knew how to read people, and he could tell a lot from what Xu Ruyan had said and done.
There was not much special about the habitat of the ghost-eyed bears. When Han Sen went to hunt the bears, he had explored the place as well. There was nothing other than the ghost-eyed bear group, which only had one sacred-blood king among them.
It was impossible for Xu Ruyan to make this trip just to hunt the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear. No sacred-blood creature in the world was worth so much trouble.
In addition, Han Sen knew from the fact that they could not do anything about the ghost-eyed bear that they did not come here for this specific creature. Otherwise, if they prepared well and had enough tools, it would not be that difficult to hunt the sacred-blood Ghost-eyed bear.
"If they did not come here for the ghost-eyed bear, but for something related to the ghost-eyed bear..." Han Sen pondered, touching his nose. He suddenly thought of something, "Maybe it's for that."
Han Sen flew higher into the sky for an overlook of the bear habitat. Going higher and higher, Han Sen thought he must be right.
The mountains on the island were layered. Watching from above, they looked like a giant lotus, with each mountain resembling a petal. The ghost-eyed bears lived in the center.

Chapter 279: Nest
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"That's it…" Han Sen was overjoyed when looking at the odd shape of mountains.
The only place that would guarantee a beast soul in God's Sanctuary was the nest of creatures, in addition to the Mystery Island.
The number of creatures in God's Sanctuary was almost unlimited. In an area, even if all the creatures were killed, new creatures would appear before long.
Humans had done extensive research on this and concluded that most creatures did not come from their own reproduction, but somewhere humans called "nest."
These nests were usually hidden tens of thousands of feet underground. Once in a while, a large number of creatures would be born from the nest.
Humans were still not sure how the creatures arrived at different locations in God's Sanctuary. In a random expedition, some people found a nest that was exposed on the ground for some reason. After some exploration, they found that in each nest, there would be an egg. If one were to break that egg, one would get a beast soul for sure.
The egg itself was not dangerous, but normally speaking, there would be many creatures living in the nest, which made it difficult to go all the way into the nest and break the egg.
If one were lucky, there might be only ordinary and primitive creatures in a nest. However, if there were sacred-blood creatures in a nest, one would have to be prepared for a bloodbath.
For those who were able to kill a sacred-blood creature, it was rather a good thing, since they could have extra gains.
The nests rarely appeared on the surface, so only a few people had seen them. A nest on the surface had one significant feature—always located in a type of terrain called the "life lotus."
The life lotus was formed by layered mountains, and the entrance to the nest was always located in the center of the lotus. According to what Han Sen had read from the Skynet, creatures in the nest would not go out directly from the entrance. Until today, no one knew how the creatures in the nest ended up all over God's Sanctuary.
However, the entrance to the nest was occupied by the group of ghost-eyed bears. Xu Ruyan and others did not expect this to happen, and thus failed to enter the nest.
Han Sen did not realize that the reason that the group had not entered the nest yet was mainly because they had lost most of their equipment on the ocean, under the attack of marine beast.
"Since you had failed, I should probably go first." Han Sen was considering how to enter the nest with great joy.
Originally, he wanted to hunt some ghost-eyed bears and gain more mutant beast souls from Xu Ruyan. Knowing that this was a nest, he would not hurt the ghost-eyed bears anymore.
Undoubtedly, these ghost-eyed bear were the best watchdogs. With them here, the group would never be able to enter the nest, and Han Sen could look for the egg peacefully inside.
"Well done Xu Ruyan, you tried to lure me to kill more mutant ghost-eyed bears and you could enter this nest." Han Sen smirked secretly, "Unfortunately, I already know your plan and you shall be disappointed."
Han Sen landed on the mountain and sneaked toward the center of the life lotus. He had been there once, and would be able to enter the nest without alarming the ghost-eyed bears.
As for the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear, Han Sen prepared to kill it after breaking the egg.
Obviously, these ghost-eyed bears did not live in the nest. Their occupation of the surrounding area was merely a coincidence.
Han Sen used the color shifter to move slowly to the entrance. After more than an hour, he was in front of the nest.
Like what was described on the Skynet, the nest was a stone cave going straight down like a well. The stones were black and smooth, and the entrance was so narrow that only one adult could pass at a time.
Han Sen did not hesitate before sliding down. With a fall of 12 feet, his feet touched the ground. In front of his eyes appeared a path zigzagging down.
Surrounding him were black stones, among which there were many gleaming green crystals. Although they looked dismal, it was still much better than darkness. People called these crystals "green gold," which could be seen everywhere in nests. They were not harmful to health, but were not useful in any way either.
Han Sen decided to be careful and summoned his phantom ant armor, protecting himself thoroughly and slowly walking down the winding path.
According to the Skynet, the length of this path should be around 8 miles. Normally speaking, there would be no creature on this path.
Han Sen did not dare to fully trust the Skynet and was still being wary. However, the Skynet was right this time and he did not see a single creature on the way.
When he finally saw a wall of green gold blocking his way, Han Sen knew he had arrived at the destination. According to what people said on the Skynet, as long as he broke this wall, he would see the real nest.
However, once the wall was broken, if there were creatures inside, they would launch attacks immediately. And one must prepare oneself for that.
The war being intact also confirmed the fact that the ghost-eyed bear did not come from this nest.
Han Sen tried to see through the wall of green gold and determine if there were creatures inside, but the green gold was not clear enough.
Since he was already there, Han Sen decided to go for it. He grabbed the diamond sword, took a deep breath, and slashed the sword at the wall.

Chapter 280: White Jade Skeleton
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang!
The green gold was not a tough material and only 1 inch thick. With Han Sen's strike, a six-foot-tall 1-foot-wide opening suddenly appeared.
Han Sen looked inside the opening warily with the diamond sword in his hand and was dumbstruck by what he saw. It was an underground metropolitan bathed in green light. The roof was decorated with millions of pieces of gleaming green gold, like an entire green galaxy.
All sorts of black rock cells crisscrossed like a labyrinth. There was nothing artificial. They were more like some hornet nests, both random and regular at the same time.
Han Sen knew that these cells constituted the so-called nest. In each cell there might be a creature. Once the creature noticed his presence, it would try to kill him without a second thought.
Han Sen saw that there must be tens of thousands of cells of all sizes, some as small as his hand, while some as large as palaces. They were all interconnected in a strange and natural way.
"All the deities in this world, please give me your blessings. I wish there would not be too many creatures. Some primitive creatures would do," prayed Han Sen as he tiptoed.
Although there was enough space for him to fly across the nest, Han Sen did not plan to use his wings. When he flew up, all the creatures could see him clearly and would potentially attack him in groups. It was not like the roof was so high he could avoid all the attacks, so Han Sen decided against that.
Creeping past a cell, Han Sen's eyes were fixed on it. If there were anything wrong, he would go back immediately. To his relief, the cell was completely quiet until he walked past it.
It was only a beginning though. The black cells were like time bombs of different sizes. Han Sen did not know when a cell would explode suddenly.
As Han Sen was almost scared to death, he had already passed more than a thousand cells without seeing any creatures.
"Could this nest be empty? Maybe all the creatures had left?" Han Sen wondered, "It should not be. According to what I read, unless the egg is broken, the nest will continue to breed new creatures. Since the wall was still intact, I don't suppose anyone has been here. So, the egg must still be here as well. How come there is no creature?"
Han Sen did not dare to relax. Although it seemed everything was going well, he still remained alert.
Every time he passed a cell, Han Sen would always stare at it, in case a creature would catch him off-guard.
However, after seeing tens of thousands of cells, he did not see a single creature. It seemed the nest was really empty.
"This is so weird. According to the Skynet, the nests discovered before would always have at least hundreds of creatures inside, and sometimes it could even be thousands. How come there is nothing here?"
Suddenly, Han Sen heard a crack. He immediately looked in that direction.
It was a 9-foot-tall cell more than 30 feet away from him. It had cracked and the cracks were expanding.
"Finally." Han Sen did not get too nervous. He walked back a few steps and found a spot with more space, eyes fixed on the cell looking like a tomb.
As the cell continued to crack, it was falling apart will stop
Bang!
Suddenly the cell was knocked open by something and collapsed. A figure rushed out of the cell.
"A humanoid creature?" After seeing the figure, Han Sen suddenly grasped the diamond sword tighter.
Normally speaking, a humanoid creature was very likely to be a sacred-blood one.
The creature was a skeleton that looked like it was made of white jade. Between its bones, there were no gaps like an ordinary skeleton. With these extra links, it was extremely flexible.
On the skeleton's bones there were many black patterns, and in its hands were a pair of black daggers.
"Gears?" Han Sen was surprised. The humanoid creature had its own gears, which were two daggers instead of one, which meant the creature would not be easy to deal with.
The skeleton turned to face Han Sen. Its eyes were not hollow but contained a pair of white eyeballs. Staring at Han Sen, the skeleton slowly approached him.
In the beginning, it was slow. Gradually it became faster and faster. In a dozen steps, it swirled to Han Sen's face like a storm. One of the black daggers were at Han Sen's throat in a sudden.
At this point, Han Sen was certain that the skeleton was a sacred-blood creature. He did not fear it. Swinging the diamond sword, he was about to stop the dagger.
The daggers were short, so Han Sen's blow would definitely knock them away.
However, the moment the diamond sword was about to hit the daggers, the skeleton twisted in an impossible way and took back its dagger. With a swing, the skeleton's other dagger almost came between Han Sen's brows. Han Sen could almost feel the coldness of the blade through his armor.

Chapter 281: Disorder
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ding!
Han Sen summoned the three-blade harpoon in his left hand and blocked the dagger in his face.
In the next moment, while the skeleton had it back toward Han Sen, it quickly twisted his arm backward and stabbed at Han Sen again. The suddenness took Han Sen at a disadvantage. He did not have time to take back his sword, or swing the harpoon.
Whoosh!
Han Sen use the Sparticle and made a crucial step, dodging the dagger by a hair.
The phantom ant armor was still scratched by the tip of the dagger and left with a shallow mark. Han Sen was shocked by how sharp the daggers were.
Instantaneously, the other dagger in the skeleton's hand came from another incredible angle.
Han Sen was also a master at short blades like these, but he had never seen someone could use these weapons in such a fascinating way.
The skeleton's movements were as if they were all wrong. He could never predict the skeleton's next move, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was like a musician hearing a song with all the wrong tempos.
In addition, the skeleton was incredibly fast. Its attacks were almost continuous, making Han Sen almost desperate.
This kind of close combat made the diamond sword a burden rather than a help. Han Sen did not even have time to put down the sword, because the skeleton's strikes were dazzling.
The skeleton' s footwork and dagger skills left Han Sen in a huge disadvantage. Suddenly, he was injured in the chest.
If it were not for the sacred-blood armor, Han Sen would have been dead by now.
With goosebumps all over his body, Han Sen summoned Meowth, which turned into a black tiger and threw itself at the skeleton. The white jade skeleton almost glided on the ground, moved away from the tiger and stabbed at Meowth with its dagger.
Meowth turned back and snapped at the skeleton, which quickly took back the daggers and moved away. With its back toward Meowth, the skeleton turned its arm around in an impossible angle and stabbed at Meowth's stomach.
Han Sen seized the opportunity and slashed the sword at the skeleton, his other hand grasping the harpoon to block the attack toward Meowth.
Fighting a man and a cat, the white jade skeleton still seemed effortless and constantly made threatening attacks at Han Sen and Meowth.
Very soon, Han Sen discovered that it was not a great idea to summoned Meowth, as the skeleton actually used its miraculous footwork to confine their movements.
"This creature is rogue!" Han Sen cursed secretly. When Meowth was attacking the skeleton, he quickly ran away. At this point, both he and Meowth were injured, while the skeleton remained unharmed. There was no point in continuing the fight. Han Sen decided to retreat and think of a different method.
Luckily, Meowth was distracting the skeleton so that Han Sen could run far enough before he took Meowth back.
The white jade skeleton would not leave Han Sen alone and quickly ran after him. Han Sen did not dare to hesitate anymore and dashed toward the path where he came from.
The skeleton would not give up. It was even faster than Han Sen. With Meowth's help, Han Sen retreated while fighting, eventually arriving at the broken wall. Han Sen quickly crawled through the opening, and the skeleton followed him.
"Drop dead!" Han Sen was happy to see the skeleton moving into the narrow path, where its footwork would no longer work that well. Han Sen quickly drew the beetle knight's spear and stabbed it at the skeleton.
In such a small space, a longer weapon was a lot better than a shorter one. The skeleton's daggers could not even reach Han Sen and the skeleton had nowhere to hide. It had to cross the daggers in front of its chest to block the incoming spear.
However, Han Sen's spear carried a strong spinning force, and the skeleton failed to stop it.
Han Sen thought he must have been successful, but the skeleton quickly glided back like a phantom, faster than Han Sen when he used Sparticle.
The skeleton seemed to be quite intellectual. Knowing it would not be Han Sen's match in the narrow path, it no longer tried to follow him, but chose to stay and guard the wall.
Han Sen had to leave the nest. He had to think of a way to get rid of this white jade skeleton. Otherwise he would never be able to reach where the egg was.
"Damn! There just happens to be a powerful sacred-blood creature in this nest." Han Sen felt quite upset.
He quietly crept out of the nest and killed a primitive ghost-eyed bear for food.
Knowing that where the ghost-eyed bears lived was the entrance to the nest, Han Sen wanted to keep the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear and the mutant ones alive as watchdogs to keep other people out.
Han Sen looked for a safe place in the mountains and collected some branches to make a fire. He then barbecued the primitive ghost-eyed bear, the paws of which were delicious.
However, Han Sen's thoughts were on how the white jade skeleton fought.
The skeleton had incredible techniques with the daggers, which mimicked assassination skills, in a way that the opponent would not be able to predict any attack.
Han Sen could tell that these techniques were still somewhat different from assassination. It was purely technical, and did not leverage the opponent's psychology.
Using these techniques, the skeleton created a kind of disorder and made it impossible for someone to judge how it would react. In addition, the structure of the skeleton was also different from a normal person, allowing it to achieve all kinds of movements.
"If I want to kill it, I have to understand this tempo, otherwise I would never win." Han Sen carefully thought back every detail of the combats with the skeleton, trying to find some patterns from its movements.

Chapter 282: Same Price
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Ruyan was a bit worried that Han Sen might know about the life lotus. Although few people had seen a nest, all the information was readily available on the Skynet. If Han Sen could tell that there was a nest here, that would be horrible news to her.
Not seeing Han Sen all day, Xu Ruyan became a bit uneasy. She quickly consulted with Fu Shan and went to find Han Sen along with him and some other guys.
They found Han Sen rather easily. Han Sen did not plan to hide anyway, since he did not want to make her overly suspicious.
Xu Ruyan and the Green Special Squad were not weak at all. If they were willing to sacrifice some lives, they might be able to enter the nest as well.
At this point, they were not willing to take that kind of risk, and Han Sen did not want to push them.
Han Sen was not sure how strong Xu Ruyan's followers were, but he could tell that the Green Special Squad had strong members. Based on the criteria of a special squad, Han Sen assumed that all of them might be as strong as Gambler.
When Xu Ruyan and the rest came to find Han Sen, he was sitting on the lee side of the hill, enjoying delicious ghost-eyed bear barbecue. On the fire there was more meat sizzling with grease. In fact, they had followed the fragrance to find him.
It seemed that Han Sen had gotten another ghost-eyed bear. Others could not tell the level of the ghost-eyed bear anymore, since it was already cut into pieces.
"Welcome! What brought you here?" Han Sen did not mean to stand up. He continued to chew on the BBQ meat and licked his fingers once in awhile.
Others were very much tempted by the barbeque. Although they each got some meat from the mutant ghost-eyed bear purchased by Xu Ruyan, it was only a small piece. Most of the meat was kept as their food reserve.
For people who had not tasted meat for a year, the small piece only triggered more greediness.
Seeing Han Sen eating away, they all could not help swallowing.
Xu Ruyan saw that Han Sen was still here and felt much more relaxed. Everything would be fine if Han Sen did not enter the nest.
"Han Sen, we came to talk about buying more ghost-eyed bear meat. You should know that the ghost-eyed bear would not last very long with so many people in the group," Xu Ruyan smiled and said.
She was only trying to tempt Han Sen to kill more mutant ghost-eyed bears.
Han Sen pondered and replied, "That is not easy. I hunted again today and did not find any chance to kill a mutant ghost-eyed bear, so I had to kill a primitive ghost-eyed bear. How much will you pay for a primitive one?"
Xu Ruyan did not really need the meat, and a primitive ghost-eyed bear would be useless to her.
She smiled and said, "We've all witnessed your ability. It is so easy for you to kill a mutant ghost-eyed bear. Now don't be humble."
"Yes, we maxed out on our primitive geno points a long time ago. We hope that you could get us a few more mutant ghost-eyed bears, and we would pay you well," one of the guys working for Xu Ruyan said.
Han Sen smirked inwardly, but pretended to be ignorant, "It's not that I do not want to earn more beast souls. The mutant ghost-eyed bears were not that easy to kill. If they keep moving in groups, there is nothing I can do. I am even eating primitive ghost-eyed bear myself. If I could hunt a mutant one, why would I eat this?"
The rest believed Han Sen's words, since they did not believe that mutant creatures were convenient to kill either.
After all, ghost-eyed bear was a strong creature. As an unevolved person, Han Sen could not be that strong.
Xu Ruyan suddenly smiled and said to Han Sen, "So how much do you want for a primitive ghost-eyed bear?"
"Same price," Han Sen said, not even thinking.
The group of people were dazed and did not understand what Han Sen meant.
Xu Ruyan looked at Han Sen and asked, "Sen, you did not mean that you want a mutant beast soul for this primitive ghost-eyed bear?"
"Exactly," said Han Sen, nodding.
"That makes absolutely no sense. A mutant ghost-eyed bear for a mutant beast soul, so why is a primitive ghost-eyed bear also worth a mutant beast soul?" asked Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi was planning to exchange one of his less advanced beast souls for a primitive ghost-eyed bear so that he could eat better. Who knew that Han Sen would ask for a mutant beast soul?
Those who worked for Xu Ruyan immediately protested and wanted to bargain with Han Sen.
Han Sen insisted on the price. "What I'm selling is meat, so it does not matter whether it is primitive or mutant. Same price, take it or leave it. I am trapped here anyways and have no use of your beast souls. As long as I can fill my own stomach, I would rather not to take any risks."
None of them was willing to trade a mutant beast soul for a primitive ghost-eyed bear, so they all had to go back to the cave empty-handed.
Han Sen did not mind that. Every day at lunch time, he would go to the windward side of the cave and start a barbecue, trying to tempt the group.
In the beginning, they could still hold it back and just eat pieces of the first ghost-eyed bear they bought.
However, the taste of meat is addictive. After eating meat, they could hardly swallow the plants anymore. In addition, that first ghost-eyed bear did not last very long. Smelling the delicious barbecue every day, all of them wanted to kill Han Sen and take the meat for themselves.
Han Sen was doing that every day both to keep them hooked and to reassure Xu Ruyan that he had no idea about the existence of the nest.
In fact, Han Sen would enter the nest every evening to fight the white jade skeleton. However, the white jade skeleton was so powerful that Han Sen could not get rid of it anytime soon.
In the process of fighting the skeleton, Han Sen gradually became familiarized with its dagger skills in footwork. He was obsessed with finding a way to beat the skeleton.

Chapter 283: Trading for Beast Souls
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen had carefully observed the footwork and dagger skills of the white jade skeleton. In addition to the skeleton's movements that could not be achieved by any human, its footwork and dagger skills alone were very impressive.
Both its footwork and dagger skills were always out of order. Even Han Sen who was great at prejudgment cannot capture held the skeleton moved and attacked.
Without a doubt, it was a special kill set, which Han Sen was very eager to imitate.
You must know your enemy before you could beat him. And the best way to understand your enemy was to learn his special tricks.
Also, the skeleton's trick would be a great supplement to Han Sen's assassination skills, which was also why Han Sen would like to invest a lot of time in learning it.
If he could master this trick and create the same disorder, then his target would be less likely to have the chance to fight back.
These days when fighting the skeleton, Han Sen could only use the three-blade harpoon single-handedly, which weakened his attacks.
"I wish I had a sacred-blood dagger!" thought Han Sen secretly.
The skeleton was good at close combat, which was why Han Sen could hardly use the diamond sword or the beetle knight's spear, since the longer weapons would be more of a burden than a help when fighting the skeleton.
At this point, Han Sen's issue was that he could not prevent the white jade skeleton from getting close to him. The white jade skeleton could approach him in no time with its disordered moves.
"Here is a mutant beast soul. Do you dare to accept my challenge? If you win, you could take the beast soul and I want nothing from you. However, if you lose, how about you give me a ghost-eyed bear for free?" A young man came to Han Sen with a mutant beast soul machete in his hand.
Han Sen glanced at him. If Han Sen remember correctly, the young man's name was Wang Junfeng, one of Xu Ruyan's guys.
"It seems that Xu Ruyan has become impatient and wants to test my true ability." Han Sen sneered and asked coldly, "how will you challenge me?"
"Hand-to-hand combat. Falling or admitting defeat will be considered losing," answered Wang Junfeng.
Han Sen curled his lips and threw a contemptuous look at Wang Junfeng. "In my dictionary, there is no such word as losing. The winner will lose and the loser will die. If you dared to play, then we can have a go. If not, go back to your cave."
Xu Ruyan wanted to test his ability, and Han Sen would not let her do that. The woman was unkind, but Han Sen did not think he himself could beat all these people. In addition, he was also in the special squad, so it would be inappropriate to kill a client of his organization, especially in front of his colleagues. Otherwise, it would be much easier to just kill the woman.
Wang Junfeng heard Han Sen's words and turned pale. He looked back at Xu Ruyan who was standing by the cave.
After some hesitation, Xu Ruyan walked over and said, "Han Sen, we're just fooling around. Why are you being so serious?"
"Fooling around?" Han Sen looked at her with a half smile. "A challenge means human life to me. If you want to challenge me, you're welcome anytime."
It was clear what Han Sen meant, so Xu Ruyan was rendered speechless.
After a long while, she turned around and went back to the cave. Wang Junfeng quickly followed her back and did not dare to lay a hand on Han Sen.
Han Sen wished that they would have the guts to fight. Since the woman meant him harm, he would welcome any chance to kill her minions.
And if the other party was the one who started the fight, the Green Special Squad would have no reason to blame him.
Han Sen had set up his barbecue every day near the cave for half a month. Eventually, someone came to him. It was Fu Shan instead of Xu Ruyan. He was alone, too.
"For a ghost-eyed bear," said Fu Shan and transferred a mutant beast soul to Han Sen.
Taking a look at the mutant beast soul which was a spear, Han Sen smiled and said, "No problem, tomorrow morning I will deliver the ghost-eyed bear to you."
Fu Shan nodded but did not leave. He sat down next to Han Sen and said quietly, "I am not sure if you are in the special squad. Either way, since you have come here, you have to rely on the Starry Group's rescue team to go back. To that end, try not to piss off Xu Ruyan too much."
Hearing the down-to-earth suggestion, Han Sen said, "Does this mean that if I were in the conflict with her, you will be on her side?"
"I brought my team members with me, and one of them has already died. I have to take the rest of them back alive," answered Fu Shan calmly, without answering Han Sen's question.
Han Sen nodded. He understood the load on Fu Shan's mind. He would choose to do exactly the same if he were in Fu Shan's shoes. Han Sen did not completely antagonize Xu Ruyan also because he knew that he would be putting the Green Special Squad in an awkward position, which would probably lead to consequences when Han Sen got back to the Alliance.
Although the special squad was a military organization, their management team would not be able to save them from a random island in God's Sanctuary. The only possible rescue would be from the Starry Group, since they were the only ones who knew where Xu Ruyan went.
"If you trust me, I could make peace between you and Xu Ruyan. When the rescue comes here, I will make sure that you leave this place together with us," said Fu Shan sincerely.
"I thank you for your kindness, but I am not going to bow my head to the woman. The worst-case scenario, I will die here of old age, and even that is better than begging Xu Ruyan." Han Sen did not even need the Starry Group's ship to go back.
Fu Shan gazed at Han Sen and got up. "Think about it. If you need anything, come to find me."
Han Sen watched Fu Shan leave and continued to think about the skeleton's footwork and dagger skills.
Han Sen believed that Fu Shan meant well, but Han Sen would not consider his proposal. Han Sen hated Xu Ruyan and Starry Group. There was no way he would make peace with them.
"If I don't blackmail her enough, how could I thank Son of Heaven for what he had done to me?" Han Sen thought with a sinister smile.

Chapter 284: The Egg
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As time went by, it had become harder and harder for the group of people to resist the temptation of meat. In addition, for most of them, a mutant beast soul was not very hard to come by. They all had several mutant beast souls and a lot of them even had sacred-blood beast souls.
The less important mutant beast souls were gradually transferred to Han Sen for the primitive ghost-eyed bears that he killed.
Xu Ruyan had never visited Han Sen, but traded through Fu Shan. Han Sen knew about it but did not say anything.
Han Sen's plan was to first use the primitive ghost-eyed bears to strip them of their less important mutant beast souls. After Han Sen broke the egg, he would start to kill the mutant ghost-eyed bears to trade for their key mutant beast souls. This way, he could benefit much more than simply killing these people.
When Xu Ruyan paid a grand prize for entering the nest, she would discover the egg was already gone. Han Sen wondered what would be the look on her face at that time.
In these three months, Han Sen had learned more and more about the weird footwork and dagger skills of the skeleton and saw the light. If it were not for the fact that Han Sen was interested in learning more about the skeleton's tricks, he could have killed it half a month ago.
At this time, Han Sen had fully grasped all the tricks the skeleton had, it was time for him to kill the skeleton and break the egg.
In darkness, Han Sen once again sneaked into the nest and was greeted by the skeleton's attacks per usual.
Different from what happened in the past, Han Sen did not plan to retreat this time. He seized his three-blade harpoon and calmly stared at the incoming skeleton.
Han Sen now knew everything about the footwork and dagger skills of the skeleton. As the dagger almost reached him, Han Sen moved his feet slightly and stabbed his three-blade harpoon from an impossible angle at the skeleton.
Both Han Sen and the skeleton had an unpredictable style, but the difference was that Han Sen only had one weapon, while the skeleton had two. Even so, Han Sen was still at an advantage.
He knew everything about the white jade skeleton and felt like he could control the skeleton.
Suddenly, Han Sen had an epiphany. The seemingly disordered footwork and dagger skills were actually of a unique order. It was because Han Sen's understanding of order was too shallow that he felt it was out of order. After three months of learning, Han Sen finally understood the order of disorder, and gained a deeper understanding of rhythm and order.
With this epiphany, Han Sen had greatly improved his way of thinking. His opponent's footwork and dagger skills suddenly became boring in his eyes.
Without any hesitation, Han Sen made a fierce step. The moment he brushed against the skeleton, the skeleton's skull flew up into the air. Its pair of daggers failed to hurt Han Sen, and its weird footwork did not bring it away from the three-blade harpoon.
"Sacred-blood creature skeleton king killed. No beast soul gained. Meat inedible."
Han Sen was not disappointed that he gained neither beast soul nor meat, for what he had learned in the three months was much more valuable than a sacred-blood beast soul or meat. In addition, the sacred-blood skeleton king had a pair of gears.
Different from the golden axe and iron hammer, the pair of bone daggers could be sold at an incredible price. They were on the same level as the diamond sword, not to mention they came in a pair.
After appreciating his new weapons for a while, Han Sen put them away and kept going. In the entire nest, he did not run into another creature.
After reaching the end of the nest, Han Sen saw a translucent ellipsoid set in the black stone wall. Inside the ellipsoid, there seemed to be a flickering light.
The ellipsoid was taller than himself, and looked exactly the same as eggs portrayed on the Skynet. Han Sen regarded it and used the diamond sword to cut it open.
Crack!
The ellipsoid was cut in half and liquid like glue flowed from it.
"Egg broken. Identifying beast soul…"
The voice was different from the one after a normal kill. Han Sen did not get the beast soul directly.
Han Sen had also read this part on the Skynet. After breaking the egg, the beast soul gained would be random.
Although it was possible to get anything between an ordinary beast soul to a sacred-blood one, based on other people's experience, most people got sacred-blood beast souls, except for a few poor devils.
"God bless. Don't make me one of the poor devils, tell me this is a sacred-blood beast soul," prayed Han Sen.
Although the chance was very slim, it was still possible for Han Sen to gain a less advanced beast soul. Before laying his eyes on the beast soul, Han Sen was quite nervous.
After praying, Han Sen paused as he suddenly thought of one thing.
If the beast soul gained from breaking an egg was random, would it also be possible for him to gain a super beast soul from it?
In the past, Han Sen did not know the existence of super creatures. But now since he had discovered a super creature, there must be a corresponding super beast soul.
Since it was random, Han Sen might as well get a super beast soul.
"God, forget about my prayer just now. Let's do it all over again. Give me a super beast soul. This might be the very first super beast soul gained in human history. You have to help me. And other deities as well, I will be so pious to all of you if you grant me a super beast soul…" Han Sen quickly took back his own request and prayed some more.
The liquid from the broken egg started to glow and gradually condensed into something like a holographic image.
Han Sen watched the beast soul formulating in front of him without a blink and kept praying, "Super beast soul… It has to be a super beast soul…"
Boom!
The moment the beast soul was officially formed, it turned into a shadow and entered Han Sen's mind. At the same time, he heard the familiar voice.

Chapter 285: Flame Lieutenant
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Beast soul identified. Sacred-blood beast soul flame Lieutenant gained."
Han Sen was slightly disappointed that he did not get a super beast soul, but he understood that it was normal not to win the lottery.
Sacred-blood beast soul was something nice too. Han Sen summoned the beast soul he just gained.
With a ball of fire, a devil like creature appeared in front of Han Sen's eyes. It was burning with red flames and looked rather magical.
Type of beast soul of flame Lieutenant: aura.
Looking at the four letters "aura," Han Sen's disappointment disappeared completely. Instead, he was overjoyed.
The four letters were simply a godsend in Han Sen's eyes.
Rare did not begin to describe the scarcity of beast soul aura. Even a mutant beast soul aura could be sold at an incredible price.
And that did not just apply to First God's Sanctuary. Even in Second God's Sanctuary, a good beast soul aura, even just a mutant one would be highly popular, despite the fact that most sacred-blood beast souls from First God's Sanctuary would be useless there.
As long as there was an aura, all the beast soul's around it would be enhanced.
As far as Han Sen knew, Son of Heaven had a mutant beast soul aura. When he summoned the beast soul aura, it could improve the ability of all the beast soul within the range of 30 feet by 20%.
Beast soul weapons would become sharper. Armor and shields would become tougher. And even shapeshifting beast souls would bring the users more power.
For a team, a beast soul aura was definitely a core strength.
When a team went hunting, if they had a beast soul aura, their efficiency would be multiplied.
Since a beast soul aura could empower all the beast souls within a certain range, if there were several beast soul auras in the same team, then the enhancement would be enormous.
Unfortunately, aura beast souls were so rare that in the entire Steel Armor Shelter, only Son of Heaven had a mutant beast soul aura.
Even Huangfu Pingqing who had a company dealing beast souls did not have beast soul auras for sale.
All the teams wished to have an aura beast soul, so bringing an aura into the Second God's Sanctuary, Han Sen would be invited by many experienced people to join their teams.
aura beast souls must be the most valuable type among all beast souls, as its functions were incredibly popular.
Han Sen did not even expect himself to gain a beast soul aura, because they were so hard to come by. And this one he gained was a sacred-blood one, which brought him so much joy.
"Ha-ha, my prayers worked. A beast soul aura would make me popular everywhere I go." Han Sen celebrated.
It was already late and Han Sen took back the flame lieutenant and went out of the nest.
Although he had already gained great stuff, Han Sen did not forget to blackmail Xu Ruyan. Since there was nothing left in the nest, Han Sen could now kill the mutant ghost-eyed bears and sell them to Xu Ruyan.
However, Han Sen would not deign to look for her himself. Instead, he let Fu Shan know of his intention to hunt mutant ghost-eyed bears and his worry that Xu Ruyan would not be interested in them.
After Fu Shan told Xu Ruyan about Han Sen's thoughts, Xu Ruyan became thrilled and agreed to purchase however many mutant ghost-eyed bears Han Sen could hunt.
Although at this point everyone only had important mutant beast souls left, Xu Ruyan did not even care about the beast souls she owned when hearing the fact that Han Sen was about to kill mutant ghost-eyed bears. She promised that she would purchase all the mutant ghost-eyed bears that Han Sen would hunt. One mutant beast soul for one mutant ghost-eyed bear, and she would take them all.
Although mutant beast souls were precious, they were nothing compared to what they would gain after entering the nest. So, her priority was that Han Sen killed as many as mutant ghost-eyed bears as possible.
In addition, Xu Ruyan had her own thoughts. Since Han Sen was trapped on the island anyway. When the Starry Group's rescue team arrived, he would have to board their ship to leave the Windend Island. At that point, if she asked him to give back all the beast souls, he would have to obey.
No matter how strong he was, Han Sen would not be willing to die on this island of old age.
Xu Ruyan had no idea that Han Sen was never counting on the Starry Group. So far, he did not fly away only because he was not sure about the location of the Green Island.
When the ship of Starry Group came here, he did not need to go on board. As long as he followed them from afar, he could fly to the Green Island.
Han Sen's only concern at the point was that Starry Group would not send a rescue team. In that case, he would have to make a guess about the location of Green Island, which would be relatively riskier.
Han Sen knew that if he killed too many mutant ghost-eyed bears at one time, then the ghost-eyed bear group would become too weak. Then, the others would not need to buy ghost-eyed bears from him and could just choose to hunt themselves.
Since the Starry Group was not here yet, Han Sen could not leave the island anyway. He took his time and killed a mutant ghost-eyed bear once every few days to exchange for a mutant beast soul. After a month, when Han Sen had gained the seventh mutant beast soul from Xu Ruyan, Xu Ruyan started to discuss with Fu Shan about going to the nest.
As she estimated, it was about time that Starry Group finished training new staff and sending them over.
She had to beat those people to the beast soul in the egg. Otherwise, she would have achieved nothing in this trip, which could harm her position in the Starry Group.

Chapter 286: Sacred-blood Ghost-eyed Bear
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen also felt it was about time that Xu Ruyan made the move, so he did not expect that she would order three more mutant ghost-eyed bears from him.
"The Starry Group is indeed full of wealthy people!" Han Sen thought his source of income had already drained, and did not realize that Xu Ruyan was such a big spender.
Han Sen killed four mutant ghost-eyed bears in one day. He sold three of them to Xu Ruyan and kept one for himself to increase his mutant geno points.
On this day, Xu Ruyan and others enjoyed a meal of meat stew, after which they hurried to the nest.
Han Sen was not at all worried and continued to enjoy his barbecue. He seemed to have no intention to follow Xu Ruyan.
Xu Ruyan's only concern disappeared seeing Han Sen had not noticed them. She led the team and quickened her pace.
In the mountains that formed the life lotus, there was no real path to walk on. They had to climb the rocks to get through many places.
At many places where there were paths, it was also incredibly scary to go through. The paths were less than a foot wide, and with a slip, one would fall and die.
For humans could not do the same as ghost-eyed bear. In addition, on the ocean, the group had lost their climbing equipment and one of the team members who had sacred-blood wings, which made their situation extra hard.
After entering the life lotus, they were soon noticed by the ghost-eyed bears, whose giant body's came and went like wind on the steep cliffs.
Seeing the group of ghost-eyed bears came to them fiercely, Xu Ruyan ordered everyone to find a secure spot and get ready to fight.
The mutant ghost-eyed bears posed the most threat to them, while the primitive ones were not much trouble. At this time, since most of the mutant ghost-eyed bears had been killed by Han Sen, they could cope just fine.
The group of people stayed on a relatively flat platform and killed all the ghost-eyed bears coming at them.
Having been holding back for more than a year, the group lashed out all their anger on these creatures.
With a shrill howling from the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear king, all the ghost-eyed bears retreated instantaneously to higher mountains, leaving the group of people alone.
The group continued marching ahead and killed all the ghost-eyed bears they saw. Because the mutant ghost-eyed bears were too few in numbers, they were not much of a threat.
The sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear dashed to them from the cliffs fiercely, its white fur gleaming like silver.
Han Sen had already landed on the top of a high mountain, watching the fight while eating barbecue.
He had been curious how Xu Ruyan planned to deal with the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear.
On mountains like these, there was not much room for people to move around. In order to fight a strong sacred-blood creature, one would have to have sacred-blood wings.
As Han Sen was making different presumptions, he suddenly saw Xu Ruyan's body turning into a giant more than 12 feet tall. She raised a fist and threw a punch at the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear.
Her fist was like a sledgehammer and landed on the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear hard.
The body of the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear was very strong. Unless one were to use a sacred-blood weapon, one could hardly hurt it.
However, with Xu Ruyan's punch, the arms that the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear raised to defend itself were broken, after which the giant fist continued to hit the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear in its chest.
The rib cage of the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear collapsed. Spitting out blood, the ghost-eyed bear fell off the cliff and was about to die.
Xu Ruyan, on the other hand, quickly shrank in size and turned back to herself. She looked a little pale.
Han Sen was dumbstruck and did not understand what kind of beast soul Xu Ruyan had used. Looking at her face, Han Sen did not think she could do that again.
No wonder Xu Ruyan had never given any thought to the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear, but feared the mutant ones a lot. Since she could only use the miraculous beast soul once, she could not afford to waste it on the mutant ghost-eyed bears, but had to save it for the sacred-blood one.
Han Sen did not have more time to think. He quickly summoned the horn bow and the mutant black stinger arrow, aimed at the falling sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear and made the shot.
The black arrow went across the sky like a lightning bolt. As if it were equipped with a GPS device, it pierced the ghost-eyed bear's head through its open mouth.
When Xu Ruyan, who had perfectly utilized the power of the beast soul, was secretly celebrating, she was suddenly dumbstruck by the arrow coming out of nowhere. She quickly looked to the direction where the arrow was from and saw Han Sen on top of the mountain with a bow in his hand.
Bang!
Under the cliff the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear fell to the ground. Xu Ruyan watched Han Sen with her eyes almost spitting fire.
Since Xu Ruyan did not hear the voice telling her the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear was killed, it was obvious that the kill was counted on Han Sen's head.
Han Sen was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. It seemed that every time he stole the last kill, he would always gain a beast soul. And this was no exception.
"Sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear killed. Beast soul of sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear gained. Eat its meat to gain 0 to 10 sacred geno points randomly."
"What a great harvest! It's a shame that they were not hurt. There is no chance for me to kill Xu Ruyan," Han Sen said with a sigh.
Throwing a fierce stare at Han Sen, Xu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said nothing. They went all the way to the entrance of the nest and started going down.
Xu Ruyan specifically arranged for several people to guard the entrance, so that Han Sen could not follow them inside.

Chapter 287: Return

Editor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen did not have any intention to follow them into the nest, which he knew very well was basically empty.
At this point, Han Sen had already come down from the mountain and ran away with the dead sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear.
Rushing to the nest, the group of people did not have time to think about Han Sen. On the other hand, they believed it was not that easy for Han Sen to go down the cliff. And even if he managed to leave with the body, he had nowhere to go but the island, so they could always find him later.
However, Han Sen had flown away with the body before anyone noticed. When the group of people went down to the nest, they found the green gold wall was already broken.
After they went in, since there were no dead creatures and the cells were all intact, they still had some hope.
When they arrived at the egg and found it was broken as well, all of their hearts sank.
"Han Sen, I will kill you!" Xu Ruyan was driven mad and wanted to find Han Sen.
However, no one could find him at this point. Even the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear's body was gone.
Xu Ruyan did not want to believe the fact that she had got nothing while Han Sen had gotten everything. She took her team to search the entire island, but Han Sen had completely disappeared.
Shocked and mad, no one had any idea where Han Sen had gone.
In fact, Han Sen only took the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear's body on the ocean to hide for a period of time. After the searching, he went back to the Windend Island, found an extremely steep cliff, and started to eat the sacred-blood meat.
"Meat of sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear eaten. one sacred geno point gained."
Each time he gained sacred geno point, Han Sen was extremely excited.
After eating the entire ghost-eyed bear, five more sacred geno points were added. Han Sen now had 66 sacred geno points.
For a while, Han Sen avoided the group of people. With mountains everywhere on the island, the group was too small to search thoroughly anyways.
In addition, when they searched before, they already thought that Han Sen was no longer on the island. Otherwise it would be impossible for the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear to disappear from the island.
Less than half a month after Han Sen finished eating the sacred-blood ghost-eyed bear, he saw a fleet sailing over to the island. Each ship bore the logo of Starry Group.
Han Sen did not know what Xu Ruyan told the rescue team. One day later, the fleet left the island.
Han Sen followed the fleet afar. The ships could only rely on the wind to sail and was not very fast. All Han Sen needed to do was to keep the fleet in his sight.
In fact, Han Sen even thought the fleet was too slow. However, there was no modern technology allowed in God's Sanctuary, so it was only natural the ships were slow.
In nearly a month, Han Sen did not run into any danger and fed on some marine creatures from time to time.
As for the sacred-blood marine beast mentioned by the group, Han Sen had never seen it. Maybe it was scared away by the fleet.
Han Sen finally understood that when the group of people came here, they must have come in a similar fleet. However, they ran into a sacred-blood marine beast and only one ship of the fleet arrived at their destination. And that ship collapsed in the end as well.
One day, Han Sen eventually saw a piece of land and felt overjoyed.
When he landed on the place he saw, he realized that it was the Green Island the group of people were talking about. However, it was not a real island, but a peninsula connected to the mainland. On the peninsula, there was a Green Shelter.
Han Sen used the teleport device in Green Shelter to return to Blackhawk. It had been almost a year since he came to God's Sanctuary. Han Sen wondered how his friends and the Steel Armor Special Squad were doing.
After returning to his dorm, all his roommates were delighted to see him. They thought that Han Sen must have died in God's Sanctuary considering how long he had been gone. In this day and age, this sort of thing was very common. Few people could come back after disappearing for a long time.
Han Sen's roommates were all sophomores and about to become juniors. However, Han Sen must take the makeup assessment, the score of which would determine whether or not he could stay in Blackhawk.
There were many precedents like this, so there was a rule that as long as the returning students passed the assessment, they would be allowed to continue their study.
If they could not pass, they would be expelled.
Han Sen was not that worried about the assessment. He took up his comlink and saw many unanswered calls, the majority of which were from Ji Yanran.
His mother also called him many times. Zhang Danfeng, Qin Xuan, Yang Manli, Tang Zhenliu, Wang Mengmeng, Huangfu Pingqing, Lin Beifeng and Qu Lili had also called him.
Han Sen first dialed his mother's number. And the call immediately went through. Although Luo Sulan did not know that Han Sen had disappeared in the God's Sanctuary, but she was quite worried since Han Sen had not called him in a long time.
Han Sen did not mention anything about his adventure, but told his mother that he was busy with his study.
He would rather hear his mother's complaints than for her to worry.
After chatting with his mother for a long time, Han Sen tried calling Ji Yanran. Although he knew that it very likely would not go through, he still decided to give it a shot.
Indeed, her service had been discontinued. Han Sen's roommates had already told him that Ji Yanran had left Blackhawk to do an internship. They said she was serving on an interstellar warship.
After being enlisted, one must use a special comlink and could not use an ordinary one. So, there was no way that Han Sen could reach his girlfriend.
His roommates also told him that Ji Yanran had lost a lot of weight since Han Sen disappeared. She also became extremely silent. Except for studying like there was no tomorrow, she rarely went to any Hand of God Society activities. Several months ago, she left Blackhawk for an internship on the warship.
Han Sen felt guilty, but there was nothing he could do. He dialed back to call everyone who had called him and told them he was safe.
Qu Lili went to the warship together with Ji Yanran, so Han Sen could not contact her either.
Qin Xuan's number was still in service, but no one answered. Han Sen assumed she must be in Second God's Sanctuary.

Chapter 288: Map

Han Sen thought that since he had been gone for so long, a new head of the special squad must have been appointed in his stead. After all, there were rules about that.
What he did not expect was that he still had the position, and Yang Manli had taken care of all the business of the special squad.
Han Sen was surprised. In this condition, Yang Manli as his deputy could have stepped up and replaced him. However, she chose to leave the position to him.
After talking to other members in the special squad, Han Sen learned that the management wanted for Yang Manli to take his place, but Yang Manli refused.
Han Sen was surprised about this finding. He knew that Yang Manli had always wanted to become the head of the special squad and could not imagine she would give up such a perfect opportunity.
He dialed Yang Manli's number and wanted to thank her. However, Yang Manli simply told him what happened in the special squad in this year in an impersonal tone and did not give him any chance.
In fact, the two of them did not have the best relationship, and Han Sen felt it was difficult for him to say something nice as well.
Although Han Sen did not care that much about this position, he still needed to thank Yang Manli for helping him.
"Brother, why didn't you inform me when you came back?" Huangfu Pingqing called Han Sen and said.
"Because I'm scared," said Han Sen with a smile.
He had black blackmailed Xu Ruyan in the worst way possible and of course had offended the Starry Group. Huangfu Pingqing was Son of Heaven's cousin, so Han Sen was not sure if he should call her.
Ares martial Hall had always been conducting business among different shelters. So, no one would know better how to go back to Steel Armor Shelter from Green Shelter than Huangfu Pingqing.
Han Sen wanted to get the information from Huangfu Pingqing on how to go back to Steel Armor Shelter. Otherwise, he would not be able to eat the sacred-blood creature he had been feeding.
"Ha-ha, how did you dare to blackmail Xu Ruyan like that since you're scared? If my cousin Son of Heaven is still in Steel Armor Shelter, I would advise you never to go back. However, he had evolved and gone to Second God's Sanctuary, and you wouldn't have any chance to see him there again." Obviously Huangfu Pingqing had learned what Han Sen had done on Windend Island. And she was rather shocked.
"Son of Heaven became an evolver?" Han Sen was dazed. But that made a lot of sense, since Son of Heaven had about the same geno point count as Qin Xuan, and it was about time that he evolved.
"Do you want to go back from Green shelter?" Asked Huangfu Pingqing seriously.
"Of course I do. Do you have any good ideas?" Han Sen did not expect Huangfu Pingqing to bring this up first.
"Of course. However, it could be very costly," Huangfu Pingqing grinned and said.
"How much?" Han Sen had blackmailed a lot of mutant beast souls from Xu Ruyan and had gained a lot of other stuff. At this point, he could afford spending some money.
"If it were anyone else, I would not go through such trouble no matter how much I could earn. However, in your case, as long as you're willing to become a member of Ares martial Hall, I would make sure that you go back safely." Huangfu Pingqing blinked at Han Sen.
"Please name the price first," Han Sen frowned and said. He did not want to be regulated.
In addition, since seeing the super creature golden growler, Han Sen had a different mindset. At the time being, his goal was to hunt super creatures and gain super geno points. Becoming a part of an organization would only slow him down.
"How about the sacred-blood beast soul you gained from the nest?" Huangfu Pingqing was quite flexible.
"This price is too high, isn't it?" Han Sen frowned.
"You know that from Green Shelter to Steel Armor Shelter, you have to go through more than five other shelters. The trip would be highly unsafe. I will have to dispatch our guys in each and every shelter to take you back safely. The difficulties and cost were beyond your imagination. If it were not for you, I would not even do it for two sacred-blood beast souls," said Huangfu Pingqing seriously.
"How about you give me a map, and I can travel on my own," Han Sen pondered and suggested.
"Without someone leading the way, you might easily run into troubles. Think again before you choose to do this," advised Huangfu Pingqing.
"That's fine. I just need a map," insisted Han Sen. There was no way he would give her the sacred-blood beast soul.
However, the map which was not even very detailed was a trade secret. Han Sen used five mutant beast souls to buy all the data and map from Huangfu Pingqing.
Han Sen teleported to God's Sanctuary, made the deal with Huangfu Pingqing's guys in Green Shelter, and obtained all the materials and map. However, Han Sen did not leave for Steel Armor Shelter immediately.
He must pass the makeup assessment in Blackhawk first. If he entered God's Sanctuary and spent a lot of time there again, he might be expelled for real.
The makeup assessment went quite smoothly for Han Sen. He did not do that well in some theory courses, but his overall grades still met the requirements. Han Sen had also won many victories for the school before, so he successfully became a sophomore and could be a junior in a short period of time.
Of course, Han Sen had missed all the Military Academy League contests and the Chosen contest in God's Sanctuary, for which he did not feel sorry, since all he could think about right now were super creatures and super geno points. Other things were of little meaning to him. However, it was impossible to kill a super creature with sacred-blood beast souls alone. It was the same as how a sacred-blood creature could hardly be killed with just mutant beast souls. Sacred-blood beast souls posed little threat to a super creature.
Han Sen used everything he had and could not even hurt a baby golden growler, not to mention an adult super creature.
With a lot of thought, Han Sen decided that in addition to maxing out all types of geno points, the one thing that could significantly improve the possibility of success was hyper geno art.
Only the strongest hyper geno art could lead to a breakthrough and allow him to hunt and kill super creatures.
"Maybe I would be able to become the first person who maxes out on super geno points in human history." Han Sen was completely focused on super geno points and could not be distracted by anything else.
How to kill a super creature was the most important question on his mind.

Chapter 289: Stronger Hyper Geno Arts
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was not anything about super creatures on the Skynet or the special squad insider materials. It was very likely that humans had never killed a super creature so far.
Maybe some people had encountered super creatures. But since they were not able to kill one, they would never know that it was a super creature, but took for granted that it was an especially strong sacred-blood creature.
When Han Sen first saw the golden growler, he also thought it was just a strong sacred-blood creature and did not realize there was a higher level.
Without any data, Han Sen had to rely on himself to kill super creatures. Without any way to gain a super beast soul, Han Sen had to practice some stronger hyper geno arts.
Han Sen would max out on his sacred geno points one day, which was bound to happen. However, even with all four types of geno points maxed out, Han Sen did not believe he could be a threat to any super creature.
Han Sen had to become stronger in order to kill a super creature.
Having seen how powerful the golden growler was, Han Sen had an idea what kind of strength could be threatening to a super creature.
Han Sen's only hope at the point was hyper geno arts. He had been practicing Jadeskin, but it was not a hyper geno art that could be rushed.
If Han Sen had started since his childhood, maybe he would have made more progress. However, he started quite late, and it took time for him to be significantly stronger.
At the time being, Han Sen still had 5 S-Class Saint Hall licenses. In the past year, the special squad had provided him with nearly 100 points, which could also be traded for S-Class licenses or geno solutions.
However, Han Sen had no idea which hyper geno art could increase his strength significantly. Han Sen found Bai Yishan's number from his comlink.
As a professor and maester in the Saint Hall, Bai Yishan was a part of many research programs of hyper geno art's. There should be no one that knew hyper geno arts better than him. Han Sen decided to ask for his help.
Bai Yishan was glad to see Han Sen. He had always been paying attention to Han Sen, and more specifically, how Han Sen had practiced Yin Yang Blast and put it into use.
When Han Sen first disappeared, Bai Yishan was constantly asking the President of Blackhawk about Han Sen. However, Han Sen had been gone for so long that Bai Yishan thought something had happened to him. Surprisingly, Han Sen came back, which made Bai Yishan very happy. He asked Han Sen many questions about his practice of Yin Yang Blast.
Han Sen took his time and answered all Bai Yishan's questions. After that, Han Sen asked, "Professor, I have some questions about hyper geno arts that I like to ask you. Do you have a minute?"
"What you want to ask?" Asked Bai Yishan.
"I want to know, in all the hyper geno arts that could be practiced by the unevolved, which one had the most destructive power?" Han Sen asked.
"Destructive power is a vague term." Bai Yishan thought about it and said, "For example, the Yin Yang Blast you practice could be very destructive if you use it properly. You could even use a mutant beast soul weapon to kill a sacred-blood creature with that hyper geno art. Isn't that enough?"
"It is unfortunate that what I want to kill is much stronger sacred-blood creatures," thought Han Sen. He smiled bitterly, organized his words, and said, "Say… Is there a hyper geno art that would allow me to shred the shell of a sacred-blood crystal-shelled turtle with bare hands?"
The sacred-blood crystal-shelled turtle was a creature known for its tough shell. People called it the toughest sacred-blood creature in First God's Sanctuary.
In Han Sen's opinion, the fur of the golden growler should be even tougher than the shell of the sacred-blood crystal-shelled turtle. However, he could not describe it to Bai Yishan, so he thought of an example.
"To tear apart the shell of the sacred-blood crystal-shelled turtle without the help of any tools was almost impossible, even for those who had maxed out on all types of geno points." Bai Yishan heard Han Sen's question and started to think.
"Isn't there a hyper geno art that could increase one's strength significantly to make that happen?" Han Sen frowned. If he could not even tear apart the turtle shell, it would be less likely for him to kill the golden growler.
Bai Yishan thought about it and replied, "It would be easy to achieve that if you were to practice the hyper geno arts for evolvers. Many hyper geno arts that change your body cells could achieve the effect you described. However, the hyper geno arts for the unevolved, I could not think of any."
"Han Sen, why are you asking me this? You do not have to achieve that. With any sacred-blood beast soul weapon, you could kill anything you see in First God's Sanctuary. When you evolve and go to Second God's Sanctuary, everything will become natural for you." Bai Yishan looked at Han Sen puzzled.
"It is just a personal preference. Is there really no hyper geno art that could allow me to do that?" Han Sen insisted.
If there was no hyper geno art that could help him to achieve that, all he could count on would be super beast souls.
However, the source of the super beast souls remained an issue. Han Sen could only think of the nest so far, and he was not even sure whether there could be super beast souls in the eggs.
"In fact, you would not need to think about all that. If you practice Yin Yang Blast well, you could use the yin force to penetrate the turtle shell and break the inner organs of the sacred-blood crystal-shelled turtle," suggested Bai Yishan, getting a kick out of the fact that he was the one who invented Yin Yang Blast.
Han Sen secretly shook his head. If that could work, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. He was able to stab the baby golden growler in the eye, but could not even hurt it with Yin Yang Blast.
Even the most vulnerable eyes were so tough, Han Sen could only imagine that the baby golden growler had tougher inner organs. If he did not have enough strength to begin with, even with the yin force, Han Sen would not be able to hurt its organs.
"Professor, isn't there a hyper geno art that could fundamentally enhance one's strength to an incredible level?" Han Sen had to ask.
Seeing the disappointment in Han Sen's face, Bai Yishan touched his chin and thought for a long while before he said, "I can't say there isn't, but…"

Chapter 290: Heresy Mantra

Editor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bai Yishan paused and did not continue.
Han Sen, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He thought there was no hope and did not expect to get a positive answer. He quickly asked Bai Yishan, "Professor, do you have any hyper geno art in mind?" Bai Yishan hesitated and then continued, "It's not exactly a hyper geno art. You know that hyper geno arts all came from ancient martial arts. More than 20 years ago, an incomplete version of 'Heresy Sutra' was unearthed. Since it was incomplete, most ancient martial arts recorded in the book are no longer suitable for practice. Only in ancient martial art called 'Heresy Mantra' was relatively complete. If you could practice this ancient martial art to a certain level, it would be easy for you to break gold with bare hands."
"Is the Heresy Mantra in the S-class section of the Saint Hall?" Asked Han Sen excitedly.
Bai Yishan shook his head and said, "Although many authoritative professors had done research about the Heresy Mantra and wanted to modify it into a hyper geno art, they had discovered its problems after many experiments."
"So, is the Heresy Mantra not as powerful as they thought it would be?" asked Han Sen.
Bai Yishan replied, "It's not that. After practicing Heresy Mantra, the volunteers did experience incredible enhancement in their physique. However, they also went through something weird."
"Something weird?" Han Sen looked at Bai Yishan.
Bai Yishan pondered and organized his words, "So, every volunteer who tried to practice Heresy Mantra would have too good an appetite."
After hearing Bai Yishan's reply, Han Sen was dazed. He assumed it was some serious issue and did not expect it to be as simple as "too good an appetite."
Bai Yishan knew what Han Sen was thinking from his look. He said seriously, "Maybe you cannot imagine what it's like to have too good an appetite. I'll put it this way, normal people would feel full, but those who practiced Heresy Mantra would lose the sense of fullness. No matter how much stuff was already in his stomach, he would still feel hungry."
"Among the six volunteers who tried to practice Heresy Mantra, two were almost stuffed to death. When they stopped practicing Heresy Mantra, the sense of hunger slowly disappeared."
"So, does the Heresy Mantra work well?" Han Sen asked.
"I don't know." Bai Yishan's reply made Han Sen pause again. Bai Yishan had said earlier that Heresy Mantra was very effective.
Bai Yishan understood Han Sen's thoughts and explained, "After practicing Heresy Mantra, the six volunteers had witnessed great improvements in their speed and strength. However, because of the unbearable hunger, they all gave up practicing. Since none of them had reached the first phase of Heresy Mantra, the enhancement of their physique disappeared with their sense of hunger. I would say one would have to reach the first phase to tell how Heresy Mantra works."
"So, nobody else practiced Heresy Mantra again?" Han Sen could not help asking.
"We had many volunteers who had practiced it, but none of them could get past the hunger. Nobody could persist to finish the first phase," said Bai Yishan.
"How many phases are there in Heresy Mantra?" Han Sen started to get interested in Heresy Mantra. Since there were no risks after giving up, he would like to try his luck.
After all, this was the only thing that Bai Yishan could think of after hearing his needs. Han Sen had to see how it worked.
"There are four phases: keeping the vital energy, seeing through the mirage, longevity, and immortality. The volunteers never even reached the first phase of keeping the vital energy. That was why Heresy Mantra was never adapted into a hyper geno art."
"Professor, would you mind if I try to practice Heresy Mantra? I could give you an S-Class license for it." Han Sen decided to give it a shot, for there was some hope.
In order to kill super creatures, Han Sen would not say no to any possibility.
"No need for the license. Since Heresy Mantra has not yet been listed as a hyper geno art, it is not for sale. If you're really interested, I can apply for a volunteer opportunity on your behalf. You could practice Heresy Mantra, but need to provide certain data to the Saint Hall," said Bai Yishan.
"Thank you so much. I would love that." Han Sen then asked Bai Yishan more questions about hyper geno arts.
Bai Yishan could not think of any hyper geno art that could meet Han Sen's demands.
Even the advanced Atomic Fission would not necessarily allow one to tear the turtleneck apart with bare hands. And that was a hyper geno art that took one to two decades to get anywhere.
Heresy Mantra was different. According to Bai Yishan, if the volunteers did not give up, they could reached the first phase in about three months.
Han Sen then asked Bai Yishan about other hyper geno arts that could improve his fitness in general. When fighting super creatures, Han Sen not only needed to be strong but also need to be fast enough to dodge the super creatures attacks.
After chatting with Bai Yishan for several hours, Han Sen finally hung up. Bai Yishan went to apply for Han Sen's volunteer quota, while Han Sen went to the office of academic affairs for some paperwork.
He needed enough time to travel from Green Shelter to Steel Armor Shelter, so he must miss some activities on campus including archery competitions and a series of tests and examinations.
Fortunately, Blackhawk had related regulations in this regard. After Han Sen provided enough proof, the school approved his application.
Han Sen planned to leave Green Shelter when he got his hands on Heresy Mantra. He planned to practice it on the way, since it was not something dangerous to practice other than generating the sense of hunger. The worst-case scenario, he could just give up practicing, which would cause him no harm.

Chapter 291: Hunger
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bai Yishan was very efficient and since Han Sen all the information of Heresy Mantra the second day.
Since Heresy Mantra had not been adapted into a hyper geno art, it was written in an ancient language and was very hard to read.
It was an age when everyone practiced martial arts, most people knew some terms in the ancient language, and so did Han Sen. However, Heresy Mantra was still beyond his understanding.
Luckily, the professors that studied Heresy Mantra before had left a lot of footnotes. And the previous volunteers had provided notes and data as well, which had helped Han Sen greatly.
Bai Yishan also gave Han Sen some tips, which would help Han Sen avoid making mistakes when practicing Heresy Mantra. It seemed that Bai Yishan had also done profound research on this ancient martial art.
Han Sen did not rush to start practicing. Instead, he memorized all the information first. He did not know how long it would take for him to reach the next shelter after leaving Green Shelter. Unable to use any electronic reading device, Han Sen decided to save everything in his mind so that he would not need to carry all the documents.
Before he set out, Han Sen called Lin Beifeng. When learning Han Sen was to travel through six shelters or more, Lin Beifeng exclaimed, "Han Sen, how did you end up there?"
"Never mind how I ended up there. Are YOU interested in doing the beast soul business again?" Han Sen felt it was hard to explain and skipped the whole story.
"Yes, of course. Only a dumbass would turn down gold. When will you leave? Let me do some research on it first," set Lin Beifeng excitedly.
"Tomorrow morning," replied Han Sen casually. In fact, Huangfu Pingqing also came to him, wanting to do the same business. However, with Huangfu, he must sign an official contract with Ares Martial Hall and stay for a while in each shelter to collaborate with Huangfu Pingqing's men.
Feeling it was too much trouble, Han Sen turned down Huangfu's offer and decided to make money with Lin Beifeng.
They probably stayed up all night and sent Han Sen the information he collected before dawn he also transferred $1 billion to Han Sen's account.
"Han Sen, I don't have enough time to raise money, and this is what's left in my allowance. Spend it however you like. I have collected the information of all the unique beast souls of each shelter you will pass, but it might not be thorough." Lin Beifeng had a lot of trust in Han Sen.
"You're giving me so much money and once. Aren't you afraid I might disappear?" Han Sen did not expect so much money from Lin Beifeng. He thought Lin Beifeng might give him a dozen million or 100 million at best.
"This is nothing. If I did not piss my dad off recently, I could invest 10 times this much." Lin grinned, "and of course I trust you. If you say the word, I could give you 10 billion for free as long as you remember me as a friend."
Han Sen took the money and went to green shelter, deciding to purchase some beast soul's before he went to the next shelter.
Han Sen did not want to waste too much time. He wanted to go back to Steel Armor Shelter as soon as possible, otherwise the sacred-blood creature he had been feeding would go to waste.
According to the information Lin Beifeng gave him, Han Sen purchased lots of beast souls and went to the next shelter.
Han Sen had searched on the Skynet to test the authenticity of the map Huangfu Pingqing gave him. Although the information online was not as clear as the map, he was able to tell that the map was indeed correct.
In addition to traveling, Han Sen had been practicing the first phase of Heresy Mantra: preserving vital energy. Heresy Mantra was different from Jadeskin in that it did not enhance one's physique overall, but focused on the strength in blood.
Blood came from the heart and went through the veins in the whole body. Hence by practicing Heresy Mantra, one's heart and veins would become stronger. If the heart could be compared to an engine, then its horsepower could be improved by as much as 10 times after one practiced Heresy Mantra.
This was merely an explanation for dummies. Even the professors at the Saint Hall could not understand how it actually worked.
After many researches and experiments, although no one had successfully reached the first phase of Harris mantra, people now understood that Heresy Mantra was a process to strengthen the heart, veins and blood. One had to be able to withstand the power produced in the process of practice, otherwise one would explode.
Preserving vital energy was the fundamental step of practicing Heresy Mantra. If it was not done correctly, the other three phases would cause one's heart to explode.
Han Sen did not dare to slack a little bit when practicing Heresy Mantra. He fully prepared himself before he even started. Once the practice started, it could be run automatically during walking and sleeping unless stopped on purpose.
After several days, Han Sen started to feel the sense of hunger Bai Yishan described. No matter how much he ate, he would still feel hungry, not only in his stomach, but his entire body.
Among all the footnotes, Han Sen had noticed an interesting hypothesis: the reason for the hunger during the practice was that Heresy Mantra needed a huge amount of energy to improve the genes that controlled the heart and veins, while the nutrition contained in food was not enough. In this case, the entire body was under a lot of pressure, and all the energy went to support those specific body parts, which was why other parts of the body had basically no energy.
This theory was not corroborated. The previous volunteers were consuming most advanced nutrition solutions every day, which was still not enough to balance the hunger, which made people question the theory.

Chapter 292: A Different Cloud Beast
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"This is incredible hunger." Riding on Meowth, Han Sen was about to starve. He had eaten more than 10 pounds of mutant meat. If he continued to eat, his stomach would probably explode.
However, in addition to the feeling of hunger, Han Sen also felt energetic. The two contrastive feelings filled his body, which made Han Sen understand why the previous volunteers would give up. It was definitely a cruel torture.
As Han Sen practiced more, both feelings got stronger. Han Sen had hunted a lot of mutant creatures on his way and ate their meat, but it did not help.
While feeling the incredible hunger, Han Sen also felt his strength was improving rapidly and even his heart was beating stronger.
On the map from Huangfu Pingqing, all the paths had been tested by different teams in Ares Martial Hall, so none of the paths was dangerous.
Even the riskier parts of the paths were marked clearly, and solutions or tips were always provided.
After Han Sen was on the road himself, he came to understand how precious the map was. Its value, like Huangfu Pingqing said, was well beyond five mutant beast souls. With this map, one could easily start to trade among these shelters, so the map was a highly valuable trade secret.
Han Sen did not know what was the reason for Huangfu Pingqing to give him this map. By taking this map, he did owe her one.
After half a year, Han Sen traveled past five shelters. He did not even want to think back on this period of time. It was not because of all the risks and dangers on the way, but mainly because the terrible feelings he had when practicing Heresy Mantra.
Han Sen was devastated in the first two months when he just started practicing. In the end, he still made it and finished the first phase. Both his heart and veins were strengthened significantly.
The main reason for his success was that whenever he felt the hunger was getting unbearable, he would practice Jadeskin. Then the coolness would flow in his body and ease his hunger.
The hunger suddenly disappeared after he finished the first phase. However, in three months, Han Sen's weight dropped from 170 pounds to 110 pounds. Even his bones were sticking out.
Because none of the previous volunteers had gone this far, Han Sen was not sure if his experience was unique.
After finishing the first phase, Han Sen started to practice the second phase of Heresy Mantra: seeing through the mirage. Then, Han Sen felt his body was like a withered plant receiving water. After eating lots of mutant meat, he started to gain his weight back.
The hunger was gone, so were the contrastive senses. In his practice, he felt more and more fulfilled. It seemed that his entire body was becoming stronger. And his current cardiac functions were much stronger than a normal person.
Half a month before returning to Steel Armor Shelter, Han Sen finished the second phase. At that moment, he suddenly discovered how powerful Heresy Mantra was.
He was almost certain that if he was able to complete all four phases of Heresy Mantra, he should have the ability to kill a super creature.
Maybe he did not even need to finish everything. When he completed the third phase longevity, he should be able to hurt a super creature, at least the baby golden growler.
However, when Han Sen started to practice the third phase, his progress became much slower.
He could still feel he was moving forward, but he could no longer complete the third phase in three months. Han Sen estimated that he would probably be able to finish the third phase in a year.
After returning to the Steel Armor Shelter, Han Sen had already maxed out on his mutant geno points. However, because he chose to follow the safe paths, Han Sen did not have the chance to hunt any sacred-blood creatures.
He did not feel bad about that, because based on what he could do now, it was no longer difficult for him to kill sacred-blood creatures.
After finishing the second phase, Han Sen's level was no longer limited to the unevolved. He was even stronger than Qin Xuan who had completed atomic fission. Most sacred-blood creatures would not stand a blow from Han Sen.
With the miraculous black crystal, Han Sen was not worried about his sacred geno points. All it mattered to him at this point was how to find and kill super creatures.
To maxed out on super geno points was Han Sen's new goal. Sacred geno points no longer deserved his attention.
On his way, Han Sen traded different beast souls whenever he reached a shelter, which brought him a great fortune. If he were willing to spend more time, he would have made a lot more.
Even so, he had earned a profit of more than 600 million. In addition to that, he still had a lot of unsold beast souls in Steel Armor Shelter. Han Sen was sure that his cut was at least 600 million.
At this point, Han Sen did not have too much desire for money. If money could not be turned into beast souls or things he needed, then it was nothing but a number.
Although 600 million was not a huge number, which was not even enough to purchase a spaceship, for Han Sen, it was enough money for him to support his family.
After returning to Steel Armor Shelter, Han Sen came back to his own room immediately. He had been feeding the cloud beast for over a year, and it was a huge waste of time.
When Han Sen went back to his room and saw the cloud beast, he could not believe what he saw.
The cloud beast was there and had evolved, but it seemed somehow different from the sacred-blood cloud beasts he used to eat.
This cloud beast almost turned transparent and was surrounded in an aura.
"Why does this one looks so different?" Staring at the cloud beast, Han Sen suddenly had a thought that gave him a chill.

Chapter 293: Panorama
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen killed the cloud beast as fast as he could, and heard a voice that almost made himself jump.
"Super creature cloud beast killed. No beast soul gained. Eat its life essence to gain 0 to 10 super geno points. Meat inedible."
"It works like this… So it works like this…" Han Sen was almost speechless. He could not believe in his wildest dream that the black crystal could be so miraculous that it could even produce a super creature.
Before Han Sen could dissect the body of the cloud beast, it gradually dissolved. A black crystal and a white one fell on the floor.
The black crystal was the one Han Sen found, and the white one was about the size of a pigeon egg, which was the life essence of the cloud beast.
Han Sen could not believe that the seemingly ordinary black crystal could produce super creatures that the entire mankind failed to hunt.
Han Sen became wild with joy as he finally had an access to super geno points, and possibly super beast souls. If he had gained a super beast soul, maybe he could kill super creatures before he finished the fourth phase of Heresy Mantra.
Han Sen quickly went to the market, bought another cloud beast, and fed it with the black crystal. He was very curious to know how long it took for a cloud beast to evolve into a super creature.
It took a creature three month to evolve into a sacred-blood one, and for it to further evolve into a super creature, Han Sen believed it took longer. However, it would take a year and half at most, since it took that long for the previous cloud beast to complete evolution.
After finishing doing that, Han Sen started to savor the life essence of the cloud beast.
"Life essence of super creature cloud beast eaten. One super geno point gained."
"Life essence of super creature cloud beast eaten. One super geno point gained."
Han Sen heard the continuous voice and felt on top of the world.
As an incredible strength filled his body, Han Sen felt his bones and flesh were developing again, as if he were a child.
In the end, the cloud beast provided nine super geno points to Han Sen. At this point, he had 19 super geno points and a leap in his physique.
Han Sen found Lin Beifeng and transferred the money and beast souls to him. He did not want any distractions in his life, because his only goal was to evolve with his super geno points maxed out.
The first super evolver in all humans. Han Sen scoffed at the thought of sacred-blood aristocrats. An evolver with his super geno points maxed out should be considered a royalty for sure.
Han Sen could only imagine what kind of benefits he and his family could gain if he evolved with his super geno points maxed out.
His only concern was that it took too long for a super creature to be produced. According to his experience, it should take about nine months to one year for a creature to evolve into a super creature. Although it was great news, Han Sen did not want to wait that long.
At this point, he needed at least 10 super creatures or more to max out his super geno points, which meant he would have to wait more than a decade.
The only solution was to hunt the super creatures in God's Sanctuary, for which Han Sen must have enough time to improve his ability.
While continuing to practice the third phase of Heresy Mantra, Han Sen used one of the five S class Saint Hall licenses he got from Bai Yishan to buy a hyper geno art called Panorama.
Panorama was the most renowned hyper geno art in the Saint Hall, also known as the "encyclopedia of martial arts." It's included many techniques from different schools. In the beginning, the Saint Hall wanted to develop a martial art that included all the fundamentals so that everybody could easily improve their physique. However, as more and more techniques were added, the hyper geno art itself became more and more demanding on those who practiced it.
Everyone's body had different features. And different martial arts had different requirements for one's body, which was why no one could practice every single martial art. For example, if one was lacking in strength, then one would likely be restrained from practicing the martial arts that focused on strength.
Panorama was a collection of all sorts of fundamental martial arts, which was why it was almost impossible to find someone to practice it.
Later on, the Saint Hall divided Panorama into different subjects and categories, which made it convenient for people to choose the martial arts they could practice.
The original version of Panorama was used by the Saint Hall as a dictionary. Every time someone had some new findings, they would also be added to Panorama so that it would be more convenient for future research.
Many professors from the Saint Hall would use Panorama this way, which made it become a true encyclopedia.
The license needed to purchase the original version of Panorama also became more and more advanced, since it contained a lot of old and new knowledge. At this point, one would need an S-Class license to buy it.
Also, the license must be a universal one, which could only come from a staff member.
Although Panorama had its own geno solutions, the Saint Hall did not guarantee success of practicing Panorama. After all, it was a hyper geno art that required things beyond what geno solutions could make up for.
The reason Han Sen chose Panorama was that he believed if he wanted to hunt super creatures, the least he could do was to adjust his physique to the best and eliminate all his weaknesses.
Han Sen did not receive the best education when he grew up, so his development was not balanced—he was good at certain things, but not so much at others.
Therefore, Han Sen wanted to start from zero and achieve an ideal state in all aspects so that he could prepare himself for hunting super creatures.

Chapter 294: No Time
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Time was a scary thing, especially in such an interstellar age. Each moment, many shocking incidents happened on the planets occupied by mankind.
Many strong men fell, and many new stars were born.
In two years, too many things had happened and too many things had been forgotten.
There were people who were not as forgetful, such as Jing Jiya.
Many people admired the Jings for the fact that they had a genius like Jing Jiwu. However, only those who truly knew the family knew, Jing Jiwu had a more brilliant brother named Jing Jiya.
Although Jing Jiya was Jing Jiwu's little brother, those who had met him could only describe him as "impressive."
Jing Jiwu was a monster who could reach the top in every field, and his brother was someone who could reach beyond the top.
The brothers' grandfather had hired a lot of martial arts professors to instruct the two of them. Jing Jiwu was able to listen to and learn from all the professors, while Jing Jiya could not have the same professor for over three months.
Jing Jiya had so many questions and thoughts that even the professor would be rendered speechless. All his professors quit within three months, because they believed they had nothing that they could teach the kid.
Even better than his older brother--almost everyone in the family believed Jing Jiya was the more appropriate candidate to take over the family business, except for one person, which was Jing Jiya himself. In the eyes of Jing Jiya, Jing Jiwu was his idol.
Jing Jiya was Jing Jiwu's biggest fan. Jing Jiya would always go to every game of Jing Jiwu's. Even when he did not have time to go to the site, he would always watch the game in front of the smart device.
Jing Jiya would watch his brother's games over and over. In his eyes, his older brother was always sparkling like diamond.
However, Jing Jiwu lost to Han Sen in the archery tournament. Jing Jiya was not able to watch it at the venue, but became more and more angry after he watched the video of the game repeatedly. He believed that Jing Jiwu only lost to Han Sen because of the tactics picked by his coach.
If it had been a fair game, Jing Jiya believed that Jing Jiwu would have won for sure. At this point, Jing Jiya had every desire to beat Han Sen and tell him that he was not even as good as the big toe of his old brother.
"Spinning arrow? What is so fancy about that?" Jing Jiya turned down all the invites from the Alliance Central Military Academy and other famous schools, and chose to come to Blackhawk Military Academy. Of course, the boy was not here to join Han Sen's team, but wanted to beat him and tell him he was not nearly as good as Jing Jiwu.
Jing Jiya was an elegant young man. When he was enrolled, no one knew that he was the brother of Jing Jiwu, but a lot of girls had already fallen in love with him for his looks.
Soon, Jing Jiya proved that he was not just a pretty boy.
Wanting to compete with Han Sen, Jing Jiya participated in every item that Han Sen was once in, including warframes, black-and-white boxing, archery, and Hand of God. Jing Jiya won the championship in all these items and became the brightest star in Blackhawk.
Since Han Sen was already a senior student, he no longer needed to participate in different societies, which was why he had quit the school archery team. In fact, since Han Sen came back to Blackhawk, people could barely see him.
Jing Jiya wanted an opportunity to beat Han Sen, but found that he could barely find the guy. Han Sen was spending a lot of time in God's Sanctuary, and seldom appeared on-campus.
"Jing Jiya, I got a message from a friend that Han Sen just came back from God's Sanctuary and was returning to room 304," said Xu Fei excitedly, running toward Jing Jiya.
Many friends of Jing Jiya knew that he wanted to challenge Han Sen, who was the legend of Blackhawk. Although Han Sen only participated in one military league competition and only won one championship, in the eyes of his schoolmates, Han Sen was the legend.
Although Jing Jiya was doing great, before he actually beat Han Sen, most people still thought he would fall short. However, everyone was willing to see such a challenge. A fight between Jing Jiya and Han Sen should be great to watch.
"Thank you," Jing Jiya said to Xu Fei with a smile and walked slowly to Han Sen's dormitory.
Xu Fei and his other friends followed Jing Jiya excitedly. They all wanted to watch this incredible fight between the old legend and new star.
When Jing Jiya walked across the campus, he attracted a lot of attention because of his good looks.
Very soon, Jing Jiya arrived at the path which Han Sen must go through to reach his dormitory and waited for him there.
Seeing a figure approaching, Jing Jiya narrowed his eyes in excitement. Very soon, he would be able to beat Han Sen and give his older brother justice. The thought made Jing Jiya so excited that his cheeks became red.
"Han Sen?" When the figure came closer, Jing Jiya asked.
"Yes. You are?" Han Sen regarded Jing Jiya and was sure that he did not know this boy.
"My name is Jing Jiya, a freshman in the archery department. I hope you could teach me a thing or two in archery when you have time," said Jing Jiya with a smile.
"Brother, I am so sorry, but I haven't really had much time recently." Han Sen had not heard the name Jing Jiya and thought Jing Jiya was one of his fans. Han Sen patted Jing Jiya on the shoulder and left.

Chapter 295: Unrivaled
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone was dumbstruck, almost unable to believe what they saw and heard.
Although Jing Jiya was a freshman, he was the champion in the Archery Society, the Warframe Society, and the Hand of God Society--a true star on campus.
However, Han Sen treated him as an ordinary freshman, which was quite shocking.
Since Han Sen came back to Blackhawk, he had invested all his energy into practicing the third phase of Heresy Mantra as well as Panorama, which had consumed a lot of his time. In order to kill super creatures, Han Sen did not care about anything else other than improving his combat skills.
Although Jing Jiya became really popular in Blackhawk, Han Sen did not even know of him. Even if Han Sen did, he probably would not care.
Among the unevolved, there was no one worth Han Sen's attention.
Seeing Han Sen brushing past him, Jing Jiya suddenly said, "Jing Jiwu is my older brother."
Han Sen stopped and turned around. He looked at Jing Jiya in surprise and asked, "You are Jing Jiwu's little brother?"
The reason that Han Sen was surprised was that he remembered Jing Jiwu as a strong opponent. At the time being, Jing Jiwu was indeed much stronger than himself.
Han Sen did not expect that Jing Jiwu's little brother would be a Blackhawk student.
It was also the first time for Xu Fei and other freshman to learn the fact that Jing Jiya was Jing Jiwu's younger brother. Although it had been two years since Jing Jiwu graduated, every freshman of Blackhawk still knew the name Jing Jiwu, since he was always brought up in the history of Blackhawk as Han Sen's opponent. Because of that, Han Sen was still remembered after two years and so was Jing Jiwu.
Xu Fei and others did not realize that Jing Jiya was Jing Jiwu's younger brother, and they suddenly understood why Jing Jiya would want to challenge Han Sen.
"Yes. Do you think we can compete in archery now?" Jing Jiya asked Han Sen with a smile. He did not take Han Sen lightly but was confident that he could beat Han Sen.
Without thinking, Han Sen grinned and said, "That sounds boring. Let's just forget about it. Give my best to Jing Jiwu."
Han Sen left without a second thought, leaving Jing Jiya dumbstruck and a bit humiliated.
Han Sen talked to him like talking to a child. Jing Jiya felt like he wasn't even taken as a deserving opponent of Han Sen's.
However, Han Sen did not mean to make Jing Jiya feel this way. He did treat Jing Jiya like a boy, because in fact, Jing Jiya was three or four years younger than himself. Also, Jing Jiya was Jing Jiwu's younger brother. If Jing Jiwu were here, he would treat Jing Jiwu like a serious opponent, but in the case of the little brother, not so much.
If he had time, Han Sen would prefer to spend it on practicing Panorama. Among the unevolved, few deserved his time.
Many people who could match him such as Lin Feng and Qin Xuan had all gone to Second God's Sanctuary. At this point, Han Sen was not at all interested in people remaining in First God's Sanctuary. He only wanted to improve his combat skills as fast as possible so that he could hunt super creatures.
Han Sen walked into his dormitory and Jing Jiya did not try to stop him again. Jing Jiya smiled and murmured to himself, "You will not be able to run from me."
The news that Jing Jiya was Jing Jiwu's brother was soon known by everyone in Blackhawk. Many students were very interested in the topic. Some girls even named Jing Jiya's endeavor the "New Hamlet."
"I knew it! Why would someone as good as Jing Jiya choose Blackhawk? It turns out that he's avenging his brother!"
"Our genius refused to accept the challenge. That is so disappointing!"
"Of course he doesn't dare to face Jing Jiya. If he lost to someone younger than him, he would lose his face!"
"Since the archery tournament, there seems to be something wrong with the genius. He did not even participate in the semi-annual assessment, and I heard that his makeup assessments score was just average…"
"The genius has fallen."
"Jing Jiya will rule Blackhawk instead."
In Blackhawk, rumors about Han Sen being weaker than Jing Jiya were spread wider and wider, and the person who orchestrated the rumors was Jing Jiya himself.
At this point, Jing Jiya was playing Hand of God joyfully. Jing Jiya did not care about his reputation, whether good or bad. However, he understood that some military school students would defend their own reputation with life. So, Jing Jiya was merely doing what it took for Han Sen to accept his challenge.
The game of Hand of God ended. Jing Jiya's opponent was Tian Dan, the current president of Hand of God Society, who was also the best player on campus, after Han Sen and Jing Jiya.
"20 points? Doesn't seem that difficult." Jing Jiya exited the game. He was only trying to repeat whatever Han Sen had achieved in Blackhawk, so that he could approve that Han Sen was not that good after all.
Jing Jiya was waiting for Han Sen getting mad at all the rumors. He believed next time when he challenged Han Sen again, the answer would not be no. Even better, Han Sen might challenge him.
However, what Jing Jiya did not know was that although Han Sen learned about the rumors from his roommates, the senior students did not care about it at all. In Han Sen's eyes, Jing Jiya's tricks were so childish that they did not deserve any his time for energy.
"I hope I can win once today." Han Sen chose a holographic device in the training hall on campus and logged in an online combat platform.

Chapter 296: Slaying All with Double Blades
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The combat platform that Han Sen entered was named Gladiator. As an unofficial combat platform, it would not categorize the players based on their status like an official one would.
On the Gladiator platform, players were able to choose to enter the unevolved section or the evolver section. Since it was not operated by the Alliance, personal information was unknown to the operator.
That was exactly the reason that Han Sen chose Gladiator. Here, he was able to enter the evolver section and compete with evolvers.
As good as Han Sen was, he could gain nothing fighting the unevolved. In order to practice Panorama, he would enter Gladiator to fight evolvers whenever he had time, which helped him practice his skills and learn things from others.
However, his record was not that good. Since entering Gladiator half a year ago, Han Sen had won four times in total. The first time, he encountered an unevolved person who clicked into the wrong section. The second time, his opponent did not finish the combat and had to go take care of something in real life. So, Han Sen have only won twice really. As for his losses, Han Sen did not even bother to count, but the number was for sure four-digit.
At this point, his fitness index had passed 20, which was the best of the best among the unevolved. Very few of the unevolved persons could raise even one indicator above 20, let alone the overall index. It was easy to imagine how strong Han Sen was.
This number was also under the condition of Han Sen not using Heresy Mantra. When Han Sen used Heresy Mantra, his strength would be even more impressive.
However, although it seemed a great number of them on the unevolved. An index of 20 was too weak among evolvers.
For those who were able to hunt mutant creatures in the Second God's Sanctuary, it was very easy for them to reach an index of 20.
When the unevolved became evolvers, they would be awarded a certain strength. The more geno points they had, the better the strength would be.
Those who evolved with their sacred geno points maxed out were normally awarded something called a "sacred body," which would very likely double their fitness index.
As for those who evolved with a low geno point count, their improvement through the evolution was also limited.
Normally speaking, those who evolved with their mutant geno points maxed out would have a fitness index of nearly 20 after evolution. With some geno points gained in Second God's Sanctuary, there fitness index could reach above 20, which was why the fitness index of 20 was nothing among evolvers.
Han Sen did not know what kind of "sacred body" he would be awarded if he evolved with super geno points maxed out, but he was sure that it would be much stronger than someone maxed out on just sacred geno points.
The two evolvers that Han Sen beat before must be newbies in evolvers. Their fitness index should be around 20.
In Gladiator, few players were as weak as this. The weaker players usually choose to play on the official platform. Those who chose Gladiator were usually skilled players.
In addition, Gladiator was the property of Ares Martial Hall. Many students in the martial hall would fight here as well, who were usually advanced.
Han Sen learned about Gladiator from Huangfu Pingqing, who had graduated from Blackhawk and entered Second God's Sanctuary. Han Sen hadn't seen her in a long while.
After entering the evolver section in Gladiator, Han Sen chose to be randomly matched. He did not have a specific purpose in mind, but wanted to learn from opponents of different styles, which would serve as a good supplement to Panorama.
Very soon, Han Sen was matched with someone and sent to a scene mimicking the Colosseum, which was the classic themes in Gladiator.
Standing at the entrance, Han Sen was able to see his opponent's profile while waiting for the countdown.
His opponents ID was "Slaying All with Double Blades," which sounded fierce. He was a man around 30 years old, holding a pair of shamshirs. A player using double Blades for sure, but Han Sen did not know if he could slay all.
Han Sen thought about it, switched to the weapon interface, and picked a pair of shamshirs similar to the one his opponent used. Han Sen's goal was to learn from his opponent, so he would always choose the exact same weapon as used by his opponent. If his opponent did not have a weapon, he would choose not to use any.
"Slaying All with Double Blades" was observing Han Sen as well. He evolved into Second God's Sanctuary before long and it was the first time he entered Gladiator, so his record was zero win and zero loss.
Seeing Han Sen was empty-handed first and then chose to use the same weapon as he did, "Slaying All with Double Blades" was slightly offended. In his eyes, Han Sen was showing contempt to a newbie.
However, Han Sen did not pay any attention to his record and did not even know that he was new. It was what Han Sen did to all his opponents.
"Boy, you will pay for your arrogance." Han Sen's opponents smirked and checked Han Sen's profile.
Han Sen's ID was "A Soldier on Warship," because he would give anything to work on the warship where Ji Yanran served, even just as a soldier.
However, his opponents would often think that he was really a soldier serving on a warship.
"Slaying All with Double Blades" thought the same and scoffed, "Four wins and more than a thousand losses. How dare you a mere soldier despise me? I will teach you a lesson soon."
"Slaying All with Double Blades" was very confident in his shamshir skills. Having practiced since childhood, he was especially good with double blades.
Although He had not been an evolver for long, his weapon skills were among the top among evolvers. Even in Ares Martial Hall, not many could reach the level he did with double blades.

Chapter 297: Thirteen Slashes
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the countdown, Han Sen and "Slaying All with Double Blades" entered the game. "Slaying All with Double Blades" licked his lips and stared at Han Sen. He thought, "If I cannot even beat this rookie, then I have wasted all these years I spent on practicing my shamshirs."
"Slaying All with Double Blades" was holding one shamshir in each hand with one facing forward and the other facing backward. This unique gesture made his techniques stand out.
Without saying anything, "Slaying All with Double Blades" rushed toward Han Sen as fierce as thunder.
Han Sen regarded him curiously. It was the first time Han Sen had seen someone holding weapons this way.
Han Sen did not understand such techniques and was still holding his shamshirs the ordinary way, but he had also learned a lot about using double blades from the skeleton, which would be as strong as any S-Class blades skills.
However, Han Sen did not just fight for victory. He intended to learn from different styles so as to improve his understanding of Panorama.
Therefore, Han Sen would never try to end the game quickly and would always observe as much as possible.
This time, his opponent had a skill that was both swift and fierce. The double blades kept coming in both directions, making it impossible to defend himself.
Han Sen became exhilarated. His opponent was not too much stronger than him in fitness index. Han Sen estimated the number should be around 25, higher than his, but not much higher. However, his opponent had an incredible weapon skill, which made the person the ideal opponent of Han Sen's.
If his opponent was too strong in physique and had a fitness index around 30 or 40, Han Sen would lose too fast and would not be able to learn too much from him.
Someone like "Slaying All with Double Blades" was perfect--a bit stronger than Han Sen in physique, but incredibly good at techniques.
Han Sen became focused and fought him with what he learned from the skeleton. Although his opponent was at an advantage, he was never able to cause any fatal damage.
"Slaying All with Double Blades" became more and more astonished. "A Soldier on Warship" was clearly inferior to himself in fitness index, but he had never seen such weird skills.
Every blow from Han Sen and every step he took would cost his opponent lots of trouble. "Slaying All with Double Blades" felt that everything was disordered, which confused him as when to attack.
"Slaying All with Double Blades" knew that he was stronger than his opponent and had better skills, but there was nothing he could do to win. Although he was at an advantage, he did not feel good.
"What kind of skill is this?" He no longer thought Han Sen only picked the shamshirs to mock him, but believed Han Sen was himself a double blades master.
However, that was only the beginning. Although Han Sen was lacking in physique compared to his opponent, his incredible double blades skills made up for his speed and strength, making it impossible for "Slaying All with Double Blades" to beat him.
"I can't continue like this, otherwise I will really lose. I can't imagine how strong people are in Gladiator. Even someone with only four wins and more than a thousand losses had such awe-inspiring skills. I have to show all I have now." Feeling shocked, Han Sen's opponents did not dare to reserve anything and turned the tips of both his shamshirs backward.
"Thirteen Slashes" were one of the hardest techniques to learn. Very few people could actually use Thirteen Slashes, which was one of the secret skills in Ares Martial Hall.
The reason that "Slaying All with Double Blades" could learn Thirteen Slashes was that his father worked as one of the administrator of Ares Martial Hall.
As he used Thirteen Slashes, Han Sen was suddenly under a huge crisis. The two shamshirs kept getting faster and weirder.
After fending off seven blows, Han Sen could not block the eighth slash. He stepped forward and dodged the slash, but the ninth attack cut his skin open.
They were both in a simulated system, so there was no blood. The system notified that Han Sen's health went down by 27%. If the health went down to zero, then the player would be kicked out of the game and deemed the loser.
Unless the player was beheaded or driven through the heart by weapon, the game would end when one's health was drained.
If it were in real life, Han Sen would have been killed by now.
Han Sen's eyes lit up and used Sparticle to avoid the next attack from his opponent.
The shamshirs were like devil's fangs, dancing away in his opponents' hands, leaving one injury after another on Han Sen's body.
However, his opponent did not even feel good about it. Although he had injured Han Sen, he still felt incredibly constrained. Each time he thought he was going to finish Han Sen off, he merely left a small cut on Han Sen.
Very soon, he finished Thirteen Slashes. Although he left many marks on Han Sen, Han Sen's health still only went down by 70%, so it would still be a while until Han Sen was kicked out.
"Dammit! If this is the real world, he would have bled to death by now," cursed Han Sen's opponent.
This was exactly why Han Sen chose to practice in Gladiator. He would not need any time to heal before going into the next fight, which was ideal for him to accumulate combat experience.
"Since I could not kill you with Thirteen Slashes, I will do it all over again,""Slaying All with Double Blades" decided. Han Sen only had 30% of his health left, so he would not be able to last another round.
Holding the Shamshirs backward, "Slaying All with Double Blades" again used the secret skill, Thirteen Slashes.
Han Sen's eyes were as calm as a deep pool, reflecting each and every move of his opponent.

Chapter 298: Smoothness
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Slaying All with Double Blades used Thirteen Slashes the second time, intending to beat Han Sen as soon as possible. However, he very soon found out that it was not as simple as he thought it would be.
Although Han Sen's speed and strength did not increase, Slaying All with Double Blades felt like it became significantly more difficult for him to hit Han Sen.
The first time he used Thirteen Slashes, he managed to cut Han Sen on the ninth blow. However, this time, only the tenth slash started to leave a small cut on Han Sen and the last three slashes did not work too well either. After the thirteen slashes, Han Sen still had 11% of his health remaining, much more than his opponent thought.
Slaying All with Double Blades could not understand why the second round was so much less effective. However, all he could think about at this point was to get rid of Han Sen as soon as possible. No matter what, after a third round, Han Sen would be out for sure.
In the third round, Han Sen was able to block the first eleven slashes, and only two out of thirteen slashes managed to hurt Han Sen, taking away another 5% of his health.
Although Han Sen only had 5% of his health left, to his opponent's shock, none of the slashes could hurt Han Sen in the fourth round.
Han Sen grinned. Panorama included all sorts of fundamental techniques. Despite that they were not advanced, they served as the basics of the more advanced skills.
He had fought Slaying All with Double Blades for a long time, so he had already gained much understanding of how his opponent used force. After that, Han Sen was even more excited to learn the ultimate double blades skill, Thirteen Slashes.
This fight was the best one for Han Sen in the last six months. Most of his opponents before were much stronger than him in the fitness index. A difference of ten points in the index was decisive at this stage. In Han Sen's previous opponents, most people had a fitness index over thirty, which made it very hard for Han Sen to learn from them.
This time, Han Sen had the luck to encounter an opponent from whom he could learn a lot. In addition, their small difference in fitness level also bought Han Sen enough time to learn Thirteen Slashes.
The key to Thirteen Slashes was its smoothness. There was hardly any pause between one slash and the next. Thirteen slashes seemed to be one. Once cut by one slash, it would be impossible to avoid the following.
There were also some tutorials on how to achieve smoothness between movements in Panorama, which Han Sen had practiced before. However, before the fight, he was not sure how to execute the tutorial in real combat. Having watched his opponent using Thirteen Slashes, Han Sen eventually understood what it took to achieve the smoothness.
While Han Sen was learning, his opponent widened his eyes. Although Han Sen had only 5% of his health left, he could not hit Han Sen again whatsoever. He had used Thirteen Slashes a dozen times, yet failed to harm Han Sen.
After Han Sen forced his opponent to step back, he tossed the shamshirs in the air and caught them with their tips facing backward like his opponent did.
Slaying All with Double Blades was dazed seeing Han Sen copying him. The next moment, he became mad.
Because Han Sen had made his first slash, which looked exactly like the first move of the Thirteen Slashes.
Slaying All with Double Blades wanted to kill Han Sen at this point. He was almost sure that this guy was trying to humiliate him. If Han Sen only chose the same shamshirs as he did, he could understand it; however, Han Sen was even trying to imitate his Thirteen Slashes.
Slaying All with Double Blades bristled and despised his opponent at the same time. Thirteen Slashes was by no means easy to copy. He had started to lay the foundation since he was ten years old and was only able to start practicing Thirteen Slashes since he entered God's Sanctuary at sixteen.
Even with many years of foundation, it still took Slaying All with Double Blades more than a month to learn Thirteen Slashes. Now his opponent had only watched it a dozen times, it should have been impossible for Han Sen to imitate the skill.
Slaying All with Double Blades forced himself to calm down and realized it was a great opportunity in disguise. Since it was impossible for his opponent to copy his moves, he could take the chance to beat Han Sen.
Based on his understanding of Thirteen Slashes, once Han Sen made a small mistake when trying to use Thirteen Slashes, he could easily get rid of Han Sen.
With 5% of health left, Han Sen could easily be eliminated with one mistake.
Here it comes. Slaying All with Double Blades held back his anger and watched Han Sen's moves closely, ready to give him a deadly blow once he saw mistake.
Unfortunately, Slaying All with Double Blades underestimated his opponent. Although Han Sen had never practiced Thirteen Slashes, he had put a lot of effort in practicing the smoothness between his moves. Lacking a point of reference, he had never been able to use it well. Having watched Thirteen Slashes, Han Sen had fully understood the essence of smoothness so that he could easily master his opponent's skill.

Chapter 299: Difficult Client
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
From a private holographic device, Huang Yulei walked out absentminded. He could not believe what had happened to him in the past hour.
Someone who was not his match to begin with, not only turned the game around, but also used his secret skill Thirteen Slashes to beat him. Huang Yulei was simply speechless.
"Impossible… How is this possible? No matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to learn Thirteen Slashes in just an hour. Especially the application of the smoothness, that would take a lot of efforts to learn." Huang Yulei suddenly thought of a possibility and his face turned grim.
"That guy must have always known Thirteen Slashes, and just pretended he was a rookie in order to humiliate me. That must be the case! Otherwise how could he learn Thirteen Slashes after watching a dozen times?" Huang Yulei bristled. If he simply lost, that was fine. However, he felt someone was targeting him, which made him feel terrible.
However, Huang Yulei knew very well that he was no match of "A Soldier on Warship," who used Thirteen Slashes even better than he did. Huang Yulei had no confidence to challenge the guy again.
However, the failure was hard to swallow for Huang Yulei. After thinking for a while, Huang Yulei suddenly dialed a number with his commlink.
Very soon, a redhaired young man the same age as Huang Yulei appeared in the holographic image.
The young man smiled and said, "Yulei, you're now an evolver. Why didn't you throw a party to celebrate?"
"Brother, we can talk later about the party. Is our big sister there?" Asked Huang Yulei hurriedly.
"Big sister went to the Queen Restaurant for a show and will return and night. What do you need her for?" Xu Zhu looked at Huang Yulei in surprise, curious why the guy who feared his big sister the most would ask if she was there.
"Nothing," said Huang Yulei quickly, waving his hand and letting out a sigh of relief. He then told Xu Zhu, "Brother, I went to Gladiator today."
"You just evolved! Couldn't wait? Did someone beat you?" Xu Zhu said, grinning. It was normal for Huang Yulei to be beaten since he had not accumulated many geno points in Second God's Sanctuary yet.
Huang Yulei blushed. Something as humiliating as this would have been his secret. However, "A Soldier on Warship" pissed him off so much that he wanted Xu Zhu to kick the guy's ass, which was why he must tell Xu Zhu what happened.
Xu Zhu did not believe Huang Yulei at all. He grinned, "Yulei, if you want me to do you a favor, that is fine. Do not exaggerate though. How is it even plausible that someone learned Thirteen Slashes in one hour and beat you with it?"
"That's why I am so mad. That person must already know Thirteen Slashes and simply want to embarrass me. I cannot let this go." Whenever Huang Yulei thought of the matter, he couldn't help feeling upset.
"That is very likely. Since he knows Thirteen Slashes, it is very likely that he is in Ares Martial Hall. However, the martial hall is too big and has many branches. Since you don't know that person, it is almost impossible to find out who he is. It must be someone you offended before, I believe," Xu Zhu pondered and said.
"Brother, I just evolved. Who can I possibly offend? Even if I did, I would not be so stupid to offend someone who knows Thirteen Slashes." Huang Yulei added, "Just log in on Gladiator. If that person leaves, it will be impossible to find him again."
"I don't have a holographic device nearby. Let me find one. I must go now," said Xu Zhu.
"Hurry then." Huang Yulei was afraid that "A Soldier on Warship" would log out.
After more than half an hour, Xu Zhu found a service station and logged in Gladiator. Huang Yulei quickly sent Han Sen's ID to Xu Zhu and asked Xu Zhu to challenge him.
Xu Zhu did as Huang Yulei told him, but found that Han Sen had already left Gladiator.
Huang Yulei suddenly became upset and said, "Brother, I told you to hurry. Now he has left."
"No worries. Didn't you say that he had four wins and more than a thousand losses? He must be a frequent visitor and I'm sure I could catch him someday," Xu Zhu said with a smile.
Huang Yulei had to accept it.
Han Sen quickly left Gladiator after beating Huang Yulei, because he wanted to teach Zhang Danfeng Thirteen Slashes.
He had promised Zhang Danfeng that he would find the friend a nice blade skill. Zhang Danfeng would not accept an S-Class Saint Hall license, and when he tried to teach Zhang Danfeng the skeleton's daggers skills, Zhang Danfeng could not grasp the essence.
The skeleton's dagger skills were demanding on the user's flexibility and understanding of order. However, Zhang Danfeng always pursued a swift and fierce style, so it was only natural that the skeleton's skills did not fit him.
Thirteen Slashes, however, was very likely Zhang Danfeng's cup of tea. Han Sen was eager to teach it to Zhang Danfeng so that his friend could improve.
Han Sen called Zhang Danfeng who happened to be in the Alliance and showed him Thirteen Slashes via the holographic image, which Zhang Danfeng loved. Praising the amazing skill, Zhang Danfeng asked Han Sen to teach him all about it.
It was midnight when Han Sen finished teaching Zhang Danfeng. Planning to go to bed, Han Sen heard his comlink ringing.
It was Yang Manli's number. Han Sen answered the call and saw Yang Manli's holographic image.
"We have a difficult client, and no one could take care of him," Yang Manli said casually.
Han Sen frowned and asked, "Even you?"
"In more than a month, I will evolve and go to Second God's Sanctuary. So, you must take care of the things from now on," said Yang Manli, blinking.
Yang Manli was a terrible liar. Whenever she lied, she would blink. The real reason that Yang Manli asked Han Sen to take care of the client was that she actually failed to do so.

Chapter 300: Can You Do It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Who is it?" Han Sen noticed Yang Manli's lie but did not want to expose her.
"Yang Zikun, grandson of demigod Senator Yang Xiuwen." Yang Manli then told Han Sen everything about Yang Zikun.
Joan had only turned sixteen and entered God's Sanctuary two weeks ago. He was randomly sent to Steel Armor Shelter, and the Steel Armor Special Squad immediately received an order from the management to provide all the necessary assistance to Yang Zikun and keep him safe.
Growing up in a prominent family, Yang Zikun was well-educated and well-mannered. However, as a highborn young man, despite his courteous and modest manner, he was quite strong-willed. He would not change his mind no matter what other people said.
Obviously, Yang Zikun was too confident in himself, always looking for challenges. Having only been in God's Sanctuary for a few days, he was already looking to hunt mutant creatures. Gambler followed Yang Zikun for a couple of days and was almost scared to death by the kid.
Yang Manli had tried talking to Yang Zikun and asked him to be more down to earth, which did not work at all.
"Epiphanies only come to you when you're struggling between life and death, which is the essence of martial arts…" Yang Manli did not know where Yang Zikun had heard this, but she failed to talk the kid out of it.
If Yang Zikun was not sent by the management, Yang Manli would not care if he wanted to risk his life. However, if anything happened to Yang, the special squad would suffer.
"I'll be in charge. Tomorrow morning, I will go meet the kid." Han Sen hung up the comlink with a smile.
The next day, Han Sen entered Steel Armor Shelter before dawn. To his surprise, Yang Zikun was already practicing boomerang.
Yang Manli introduced Han Sen to Yang Zikun, who was polite and very easy to like. In Han Sen's eyes, he was just a boy.
"Mr. Han, if it is possible, I hope that you could arrange for someone to take me into Dark Swamp." Yang Zikun's words made Han Sen frown. Even those who had maxed out on their mutant geno points would not take Dark Swamp lightly, because few people could make it back, let alone Yang Zikun who only entered God's Sanctuary two weeks ago.
Before Yang Manli spoke, Han Sen gestured her to stop.
"Yang Zikun, why do you want to go to the Dark Swamp?" asked Han Sen with a smile.
"There are a lot of toxic bugs in the Dark Swamp, which would be the perfect targets for me to practice my boomerang." Yang Zikun patted his boomerang kit, which contained two dozen boomerangs, all of which were expensive products with a high content of Z-steel.
"Now I understand. It is indeed a great spot to practice your boomerang skills. However, I don't think your boomerang skill level was high enough for you to go there. Just practice on the copper-toothed beasts in the forest nearby," said Han Sen casually.
"You haven't seen how good I am with boomerang. How can you make the judgment so soon?" Yang Zikun frowned, unhappy about Han Sen's arbitrary decision.
"Let's say it is the instinct of the boomerang player," said Han Sen with a smile.
"You also use boomerang?" Yang Zikun looked Han Sen up and down, doubting if he was serious.
Han Sen did not reply the kid, but said, "Let's do this: I will point at a target. If you could hit the target, I will let someone lead you to the Dark Swamp; if not, you will do what I told you. Fair?"
"Yes. But the target must be within 60 feet from me." Yang Zikun had a lot of confidence in his boomerang skills.
"You can go as close as you want." Han Sen brought the kid to the shooting range of Bullseye, where there were many targets.
Han Sen put a target in front of another with one feet between them.
The targets were both round in shape and about two feet in diameter. With the two targets aligned, the second target could not be seen from the front.
Yang Zikun was confused, and so were the onlookers. No one knew what Han Sen wanted to do.
"Can you hit the bull's eye from such a distance?" Han Sen walked to Yang Zikun, pointing at the targets.
"Of course!" Yang Zikun answered.
"I am talking about the bull's eye of the target in the back. Could you hit it from here?" asked Han Sen.
Yang Zikun frowned and said to Han Sen, "This is unfair. The two targets were so close that even with a curve, it is impossible to hits the bull's eye of the target in the back."
"What if I tell you that I can do that?" Han Sen asked Yang Zikun.
"Are you going to penetrate the target in the front? If you do it that way, I can do it as well." Yang Zikun pursed his lips and said.
"If the boomerang touched the first target, call me a loser," said Han Sen casually.
"Okay. If you could stand here and hit the bull's eye on the target in the back without the boomerang touching the first target, I will listen to you no matter what you say," said Yang Zikun slowly after thinking for a while.
"You're quite thoughtful." Han Sen smiled and asked Yang Zikun, "Is it okay I if I stand right here?"
"Yes." Yang Zikun looked at Han Sen, puzzled.
The confidence of the man made Yang Zikun question himself. But Yang Zikun still believed that there was no way Han Sen could hit the target in the back. The two targets were so close together that even the boomerang followed a curve, it could only hit the edge of the target in the back. Yang Zikun believed there was no way that Han Sen could hit the bull's eye.
However, since Han Sen was so determined, Yang Zikun was curious what he was about to do to achieve this. Yang Zikun was certain that Han Sen was about to use some tricks.
Han Sen, on the other hand, was not thinking about plotting against Yang Zikun at all. Taking out a Z-steel ghost butterfly boomerang, Han Sen threw it at the target.

Chapter 301: Another Nest
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The ghost butterfly boomerang made a curve in the air and flew toward the target.
Yang Zikun couldn't help smiling. He could also make the boomerang fly in such a curve. However, it was impossible to hit the bull's eye on the targets in the back with a curve like this. The two targets were so close together that a curve was never steep enough for the boomerang to hit the bull's eye.
In a second, the boomerang was already next to the first target, and then it made a sudden turn to circle around the first target and hit the second one.
Everybody was shocked. Without remote control, they had never seen a boomerang following such a strange trajectory.
Yang Zikun was also dumbstruck. However, because the target in the front was blocking people's sight, no one could tell where the boomerang hit on the second target. Without a word, Yang Zikun quickly ran to the targets and pushed the target in the front away, exposing the target in the back.
Everybody widened their eyes. The Z-steel ghost butterfly boomerang was in the exact center of the second target, not even slightly skewed.
Yang felt even more shocked and took down the Z-steel ghost butterfly boomerang, placing it in his hands and watching it closely.
It was a delicate but simple design, without any special parts. Obviously, Han Sen made the curve completely relying on the shape of the boomerang and his own skills.
Yang walked to Han Sen with the butterfly boomerang in his hand and said, "I am convinced that you have great boomerang skills with this butterfly boomerang. I will listen whatever you say."
Han Sen smiled and said, "It seems that you are not completely convinced and think I have an advantage with this butterfly boomerang. That's okay. I can give this one to you, and whenever you could reach my level, I will take you to Dark Swamp."
Yang Zikun's eyes lit up, "Do you mean it?"
"Do I look like a liar?" Han Sen smiled and said.
"Rest assured, I will be able to do what you did in a month," Yang Zikun said confidently.
"I sincerely wish you success." Looking at Yang Zikun, Han Sen thought to himself, The boy thinks the shape of the boomerang is all it takes. In fact, that was only a part of the reason. Indeed, the ghost butterfly boomerang is very important, but the key still lies in the combination of the yin and yang forces, which I learned from the spinning spear and Yin Yang Blast. Since you have never learned those, it would be impossible for you to reach my level.
However, Han Sen did not want to ruin Yang Zikun's confidence. It was a good thing that the young man was diligent, which would also save the special squad a lot of effort to cultivate him.
When Yang Zikun had stayed longer in God's Sanctuary, advanced meat would be provided to him. And when he had a better geno point count, it would be less risky for him to go to Dark Swamp.
"Captain, I did not imagine that you have great skills at boomerang as well." Yang Manli walked to Han Sen and gave him a rare compliment.
Han Sen looked at her, pretending to be surprised. "Did I hear this right? Are you paying me a compliment?"
Yang Manli blushed a little and said quickly, "I have reported to the management and will soon go to Second God's Sanctuary. You will have a new deputy very soon."
"Thank you for your hard work in the last two years," said Han Sen cordially. Yang Manli had taken care of most business of the special squad, especially during the time he went AWOL, for which Han Sen owed her gratitude.
"First God's Sanctuary does not deserve too much of your time. You don't belong here," said Yang Manli and left.
Han Sen knew this meant Yang Manli had recognized him as a leader.
Han Sen sighed and thought to himself, "Indeed, I don't belong here. However, there is something I must get in the place. Before getting it, I will not leave."
Seeing his previous enemies, friends, opponents, and lover became evolvers one by one, Han Sen did not feel that he was slower than anyone else. The reason he squatted was to jump higher.
As long as he evolved with his super geno points maxed out, Han Sen would definitely do better than everyone else in Second God's Sanctuary. The difference in their goals determined how far they could go. The others could not even see where Han Sen was going.
Since Han Sen came back, he had been working hard on Heresy Mantra and Panorama. Unless there was an opportunity to hunt sacred-blood creatures, Han Sen would not waste any time.
Even so, just by joining other hunting campaigns, Han Sen had gained another seven sacred geno points, making his sacred geno point count 73, which was not far from 100.
That was not Han Sen's end goal. He still only had 19 super geno points so far. It had been half a year since Han Sen started to feed the cloud beast, which had become a sacred-blood beast three months ago. It was still evolving and growing. Han Sen estimated that he still need another half a year for it to become a super creature, which was to say it would take one year for the black crystal to turn the creature into a super one.
One year was too long for Han Sen. He did not want to wait for more than a decade to evolve, which was why Han Sen wanted to hunt super creatures. However, Han Sen was still trying to complete the third phase of Heresy Mantra and he needed time to finish practicing Panorama. It will still take him some time to get ready to face super creatures.
When Han Sen was about to go back to Blackhawk and practice Panorama in Gladiator, he suddenly heard some astonishing news.
Someone discovered a recently exposed nest in the mountains nearby.
