The Great Demon King
Chapter 90 "Three pairs of eyes in darkness "



“I can get black iron ore for you, yes, but you also know it is not easy to get. How many gold coins do you want to spend to buy them? ”Han Shuo weighed everything internally as he spoke slowly with a calm expression.


His mental state grew sharper, Lawrence made himself upright and said excitedly, “So you can get it. Heh heh, I only need the size of a fist to forge a weapon. The black market today has its flaws, so name the price! ”


Rubbing his chin, Han Shuo recalled his conversation with Phoebe last time and hesitated, saying weakly, “How about this? Give me five thousand gold coins and I'll try to get a piece for you. ”


“No problem, although black gold ore is even rarer, black iron ore the size of a fist is indeed worth five thousand gold coins. If you can get a piece of black iron ore, you can come see me at the knight school. We will do the exchange of goods and money, “ Lawrence said cheerfully.


Nodding, Han Shuo remembered how he was beaten up by Lawrence a few months ago at the knight school. His eyebrows moved upwards as he chuckled. “I'll give you a piece of black iron ore in ten days. Why don't you train with me again now? I'd be so happy to be a human target again for you. ”


“Alright, then let's start. I can see how beautiful you are. Even someone as arrogant and aloof as Phoebe constantly praises you in front of Me. I'm quite curious about your strength, “Lawrence poses eagerly and is ready to immediately fight with Han Shuo.


It was midday, and most of the students in the courtyard had just put down their belongings and were preparing to go to lunch. Only two or three students were basking in the distance who did not seem to leave because they were asleep. Han Shuo glanced around and smiled, “Let's go to the left. There are not many people there and we will not affect anyone. ”


Han Shuo raised his head provocatively at Lawrence after he spoke and walked to the empty ground behind the fence to the left. Lawrence clenched his hands and chuckled, following behind Han Shuo and also making an empty spot on the left.


When he arrived, Han Shuo circulated the magical yuan throughout his body and began to adjust his body condition. Lawrence was a few steps behind Han Shuo and had just walked down the stone stairs when Han Shuo had already doubled back like lightning, carrying a fist smashing into Lawrence without giving him time to react.


Lawrence did not anticipate that Han Shuo would move so quickly. A punch with terrifying momentum had already arrived in front of Lawrence before he had time to react. His facial expression slightly changed, Lawrence suddenly took a step back after putting his foot down, returning to the stone stairs again and pushing his body sideways, avoiding the blow that Han Shuo suddenly threw.


The punch whistled past Lawrence's face and cold air emanated from Han Shuo's left hand, leaving Lawrence a little frightened.


Han Shuo pulled his left arm before Lawrence could react, then suddenly curved up and slammed his elbow into Lawrence's chest.


Lawrence let out a low grunt as his body was forced onto the fence by Han Shuo's elbow, his face flushed slightly.


“Heh heh, Lawrence doesn't think your vigilance is good enough!” Han Shuo did not follow up his elbow blow to Lawrence's chest with another strike. He backed off with a strange smile instead, teasing Lawrence with a song-singing tone.


The two of them only practiced and did not fight to the death, so Han Shuo did not use his full strength in the attack. He only let out a little cold air from “Mantra Eskletal Mystis”. As a sergeant knight, Lawrence fought with an aura that protected him internally and did not sustain any injuries.


“You were the one who suddenly ambushed me. This punch doesn't count, I'll make you pay later. “Lawrence was not angry when he explained the truth with a sour expression. He then walked down the stone stairs again and suddenly faced Han Shuo without the slightest trace of levity.


A pale green fighting aura suddenly bloomed from Lawrence's hands as his footsteps accelerated. He approached Han Shuo like lightning, the battle aura from his left hand suddenly formed into the shape of a light sword and shot towards Han Shuo.


Lawrence had just experienced Han Shuo's speed and strength and understood that the current Han Shuo could not compare to who he was before. This was why he used his fighting aura, but his movements were quite careful as he clearly drew his punch.


A trace of a thin smile curved across Han Shuo's lips as he looked at Lawrence's movements. He measured the strength of Lawrence's fighting aura and completely failed to dodge. He circulated the “Glacial Mystical Spellfire” in his right hand as a thin beam of red light appeared in the path of Han Shuo's right fist. It smashed into the light sword that merged from Lawrence's fighting aura along with Han Shuo's right fist.


Bam sounded flat as Lawrence's sword of light, made from battle aura, scattered in many points of light. Lawrence's strong forward momentum stalled in its tracks. Han Shuo also felt a wave of pain and numbness surmounting his right hand as his body retreated two steps involuntarily.


“Lawrence, how many fighting auras did you use in uniting the light swords just now?” Han Shuo looked at Lawrence with flaming eyes as he asked


“Sixty percent!” Lawrence responded and then looked at Han Shuo suspiciously. “Your speed and aura are very different compared to a few months ago. Looks like you did deliberately act intentionally last time – except, why would you willingly be beaten for five gold coins? ”


Han Shuo was a novice who had never been tried in a battle a few months ago, and his magic yuan was only at the first level of “alam solid”. He had done so to obtain the gold coins, but most importantly to train his body and thus not hold back. It seems Lawrence misunderstood Han Shuo.


Han Shuo thought for a while and discussed the amount of magic yuan that had been infused just now. He eventually concluded that his own strength should be slightly stronger than Lawrence's because he only infused his punch with about forty percent of his magic yuan. This already had the effect of being at the same strength as his opponent.


After testing his strength through the direct collision of a single fist, Han Shuo did not continue to collide with Lawrence. He used his agility and nimble body instead to combat Lawrence in a much more efficient manner.


Han Shuo's body was stronger than Lawrence from the start, not to mention that the initial stage of magical yuan training was self-inflicted torture, so he had endured all sorts of pain. He was already used to this kind of pain, so these punches did not even enter his body when they landed.


The spots danced in Lawrence's eyes when he voluntarily stopped after a while. He smiled wryly, “No longer, enough. You're a very strange person. I can't feel any fighting aura from you at all, but why is your power so much greater than mine. Is your body made of steel? Why does it feel like I punched a stone wall when I hit you? Do you feel no pain at all? ”


While chuckling, Han Shuo said, “Don't worry about this. My body is strange naturally. Can't my body be strong? ”


“Eh, do you have the blood of the barbarians flowing through you, or can you rampage like a raging warrior? Phoebe is right, you are an amazing person! ”Lawrence first asked in surprise and then muttered to himself.


Han Shuo also understood his flaws after the two argued. His body and magic yuan were indeed amazing, but Lawrence had obviously been trained in martial arts and there was enough rhythm in punches and evasive maneuvers.


Han Shuo had never learned martial arts, and his attacks were always the simplest method. Compared to Lawrence, he did not have an effective attacking method. He noted this deficiency. Han Shuo planned to ponder this thoroughly when he had the time and see if there were any other attacking styles left behind in Chu Cang Lan's memories.


“I don't know. All right, let's stop here for today. I finally redeemed myself for the last time. I'll come to knight school when I get the black iron ore. “Han Shuo mentally weighed a few things and made his sloppy farewell to Lawrence as he returned to the necromancy major with furrowed brows.


Lawrence was not angry after coming down a little worse to wear this time around. After he said goodbye to Han Shuo with a smile, he walked towards his knight school and muttered, “The strange person is indeed. His endurance could probably be compared to an orc warrior! ”


Han Shuo pondered in private as his footsteps continued to lead him to the necromancy major. Phoebe needed time to prepare the rations and she had no intention of returning to the grave of death in a short period of time. The duke was currently living inside the school and Han Shuo still did not know his true plan. Therefore, he decided to remain in the major necromancy after some thought.


Han Shuo's dormitory had long been arranged by Fanny, but she had never lived there. Now that he had decided to temporarily stay inside the academy, the dormitory finally proved useful to him.


The Babylonian Academy of Magic and Power was the largest learning institution within the Empire. The facilities are very well-equipped, and it is not surprising that high school tuition is enforced from every student.


Han Shuo's residence was in the corner of the second floor and was roughly fifty to sixty square meters. That includes bedrooms and bathrooms, with tables, chairs, and mirrors. It was the difference between heaven and earth compared to the warehouse Han Shuo had once occupied before.


It was already past noon after he arrived at the dormitory. Han Shuo had missed meal time and could only take out a few pieces of beef jerky from his spatial ring to fill his stomach.


Han Shuo did not leave the dormitory after finishing eating. He closed the bedroom door tightly and sat on the bed, utilizing his calm composure to practice his magical yuan. The magical yuan began to circulate and slowly began to fuse in his mind from all parts of his body. A kind of clear, somewhat cold feeling pierced through his brain, making Han Shuo feel that his brain was immersed in a refreshing puddle of water.


However, this feeling only lasted for a short while. The comfort of his mind was replaced by a heartbreaking mental illness. The training of the “ spirit formed” caused Han Shuo's brain to continuously switch between comfort and pain. He would feel lazy with a calm one second, and so much pain that it felt like someone was digging his brain with the next sharp knife.


What was most painful about this for Han Shuo was that every time the pain surged, his mind would become very clear. This would cause the pain to be suddenly magnified ten times. The clarity of his mind was special for him to suffer through greater pain. This made Han Shuo want to curse whoever created this magic yuan technique was a perverted masochist.


After a very long time, Han Shuo exhaled lightly and stopped his magical yuan training. Hot air rose from his body like he had just taken a hot bath and a strong sense of manhood rolled up his body.


Practicing her magic yuan had brought Han Shuo from the afternoon straight into the night. The night view outside his window was alluring as the cool night breeze blew by. A quiet and quiet atmosphere all around.


Sitting from a cross-legged position, Han Shuo lit up the hot water in the bathroom and lay leisurely in the bathtub, enjoying this easy and carefree rare moment. He even hummed a small tone.


The death of the night is a great time for those with ulterior motives to sneak around. Two small voices suddenly sounded in Han Shuo's ears, just as he was lazily bathing. One of them came from inside the dormitory building, the other outside the window.


Three real demons flew out, without a sound, from behind Han Shuo's neck. Two of them went out the window to check what was going on outside. One of them drifted towards the origin of the sound, while the other stayed near the window, quietly observing the presence of abnormalities. The last real demon floated out of the crack in the door and arrived at the hallway of the dorm building, moving forward along the passageway and drifting to where the sound was coming from.


The one who had gone outside finally found the Duke quietly hovering around the side of the building after traveling for a while. The duke did not wear nightwalker clothes this time. He appeared like a ghost in the darkness, soaring into the dark major-class building with no weight at all.


the original demon in the hallway discovered that one of the dorm room doors had been lightly opened, with Fitch tiptoeing out quietly with a sinister face. He walked towards Han Shuo and judging from his facial expression, seemingly bearing ill intentions.


Han Shuo immediately jumped out of the bathtub and quickly got up on his own. He put his pants back on and lay on the bed with his back to the door, even the sound of breathing out of his mouth.
