CHAPTER 125: I'm Damn Good, Aren't I?

When he left the Dark Mantle, Han Shuo left some instructions with Chester, telling him to wait here for news.

When he left the Dark Mantle headquarters, Han Shuo didn't linger and returned to the Academy. When he arrived, he got out of his carriage and went to the cemetery in the mountains behind the Academy and entered the tomb that led to the Cemetery of Death.

He didn't return to the Cemetery of Death, but instead rubbed his space ring and took out the Fruit of Dagmar, which was shaped like a human brain. Han Shuo had sealed the three fruits in special containers. When he took it out, he took a good look at it and discovered that this Fruit of Dagmar didn't have a remarkable appearance, in fact it looked rather ugly.

Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo sat down cross-legged, hesitated, and swallowed the Fruit of Dagmar, which was slightly larger than a fist. It tasted a bit bitter and was hard to chew. Compared to normal, ordinary fruits, it tasted really bad.

When Han Shuo had completely swallowed the Fruit of Dagmar, he immediately circulated his magic yuan and slowly began to concentrate it towards the back of his brain.

Nothing abnormal happened at first, but after some time had passed, Han Shuo slowly sensed that something was different. Swirls of strange energy emanated from his stomach and bubbled up from his lower abdomen, spinning as they moved towards his brain.

The strange energy within these vortexes was accompanied by a pain that penetrated his bone marrow. Even Han Shuo, with his determined stubbornness and willpower, found it a bit hard to bear. When those bubbles of strange energy reached Han Shuo's brain, his mind shook violently, as if a hundred bombs were exploding at the same time. The sounds of explosions ripped through his brain.

Bone piercing pain accompanied the violent explosions in his head. As his brain was opened by the magical yuan, the perception of his five senses increased greatly. Han Shuo could feel the wrinkles on the left and right sides of his brain being filled with the power of those vortexes.

It was similar to when Han Shuo had expanded his meridians. Due to the effects of the Fruit of Dagmar, Han Shuo's brain was gradually developing. This process was mysterious and strange. Even Han Shuo didn't know what had happened as he succumbed to the painful process.

If it had been someone else who had gone through such a strong stimulation of their brain. They would basically turn into an idiot or a madman immediately. This was because the brain was the most complex thing in the world. Any abnormality within it could instantly trigger changes that would upend heaven and earth.

This kind of bone-deep pain that seeped into a person's heart would be enough to make a normal person lose their mind instantly and never recover. Even Han Shuo, someone with extreme mental strength and the protection of the Magical Yuan, suffered greatly from the effects of the Fruit of Dagmar during this trial. Any other bystander would've seen only death in front of them.

His entire body shaking, Han Shuo was dripping with sweat as he sat cross-legged. He hadn't screamed himself hoarse in a long time, but once again, these cries erupted uncontrollably from his mouth. Eventually, the spot where Han Shuo was sitting was drenched in sweat and his hoarse screams slowly faded, his lips trembling along with the rest of his body.

He remained in this position for a long time as Han Shuo lay stiffly on the drenched ground, sinking into a coma at that moment.

After who knew how long, Han Shuo slowly woke up. When he came to, he felt that his head hurt so much that it was about to split open, and his body ached all over. He lifted his head and shifted his body. As he looked up, Han Shuo's heart was immediately filled with joy.

In the darkness of the tomb, Han Shuo could clearly see even the smallest patterns in the stone slabs a few metres above his head. Although Han Shuo's original vision had been quite clear, the feeling was even more wonderful now, and he could hardly believe his own eyes at this moment.

When he had carefully observed the four corners and discovered that he could see everything in the twilight of the tomb as long as he concentrated, Han Shuo's astonishment grew even greater. It was as if his eyes had turned into a magnifying glass. As he slowly focused on something a few metres away, the distance seemed to slowly decrease. The originally small point would slowly become larger, and in the end, he would catch a glimpse of unparalleled clarity.

Such a sensation was quite wonderful, and Han Shuo knew that it was absolutely due to the effects of the Fruit of Dagmar. If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't eat the fruit repeatedly, Han Shuo would have loved to swallow the other two whole. In a frenzy of joy, Han Shuo sat down and meditated for a while. He found that the concentration and circulation speed of his mental power had indeed increased greatly.

In this regard, when Han Shuo meditated, he would gain mental strength at a faster rate. When he used magic to fight others, the recovery rate of his mental strength from meditation after it was depleted would be far greater than that of an ordinary person. This meant that whether in training or in battle, Han Shuo would be able to operate at a much faster pace than ordinary mages.

In his great joy, Han Shuo did not linger in this place. Now that he felt his mental strength had increased, Han Shuo decided to move on to the next level of necromancy magic. Until now, Han Shuo had only been able to fully grasp and skilfully use a few novice necromancy spells.

With the increase in his mental strength, Han Shuo was confident that he could make another breakthrough. It looked like it wouldn't be difficult to graduate from the main necromancy to an adept magician in a short period of time.

Han Shuo had studied some of the intermediate necromancy magics for a while in the days after he was injured. There were still a few theories he didn't fully understand. Now that he was back at the academy, it looked like it was time to find Fanny and get some answers.

As he crawled out of the tomb, the sky brightened over a silver world. There had actually been a huge snowfall, and the snow covered everything. It was a snow-white world as far as the eye could see.

As the harsh, cold wind blew, Han Shuo's already sweaty and wet body felt a bit cold. Han Shuo stripped off his wet clothes in this cold, snowy place and faced this silver world with a naked body.

The range of his vision had greatly increased as he looked out over the world. If it was said that Han Shuo's eyes had the function of a magnifying glass inside the tomb, then his eyes seemed to have the function of a pair of binoculars as he stepped out of the tomb and looked outside. His vision widened endlessly, taking in distant sights as well.

His eyes fell on several nearby trees. They all appeared incredibly clear, and it was so amazing that Han Shuo almost wanted to whistle loudly in appreciation.

Even though Han Shuo's current body was not afraid of the changing seasons, in order not to appear too out of the ordinary, he still took some new, thicker clothes out of his space ring and wrapped his naked body around them as he made his way towards the Necromancy Major.

All the landmarks had their own flavour under the cover of the thick snow. His various memories with Fanny kept reappearing in his mind as he walked, but every time he thought of his current relationship with Emily, Han Shuo felt a bit shy about facing Fanny.

When he arrived at the Dark Major's place, earth-shattering shouts immediately filled Han Shuo's ears. They were filled with excitement and fervour, as if a great party was being held.

Han Shuo was astonished as he had no idea what was going on. There were a lot of buildings in the way on his way to the Dark Major, so he couldn't use his amazing vision to see anything. The distance of several hundred metres would be covered quickly, so he felt no need to release the original demons. So he quickened his pace and crossed over quickly.

The huge square was filled with students and teachers. There were students from the Dark and Necromancy schools, as well as students and teachers from other schools. There were even a few knights and swordsmen mixed in, and it was all very exciting.

The huge square seemed a little overcrowded after accommodating a hundred people. Many students on the outside tried to push their way in with all their might. There were also a few dirty and depraved fellows staring at some of the female students and brought the weight of their bodies down on the female students, causing a round of faint screams and yells.

When he arrived here, Han Shuo had planned to release the original demons for surveillance, but he felt strong magical impulses in the area. It looked like a magical boundary had been set up inside. If he accidentally let the original demons crash into the magical boundary and attracted the attention of other people, it would be a bit unfavourable.

Therefore, he hesitated a bit and didn't release the original demons. He used his strong body to push his way in.

Several thunder mages glared at Han Shuo angrily as he pushed and shoved, but Han Shuo ignored them and pushed them aside. Their fragile and thin bodies were a far cry from Han Shuo's, and they were pushed aside as Han Shuo's actions paved the way for him.

His extraordinary senses were now useful. Han Shuo spotted Lisa in front of him and immediately shoved the people next to him aside as he weaved his way towards Lisa. Along the way, he was met with scowls and low curses.

As he approached Lisa, Han Shuo saw an extremely cunning swordsman looking hungrily at Lisa's now well rounded chest. He was trying to get closer to Lisa and take advantage of her. Now that Han Shuo was inside, he finally discovered that the magical boundary that had been set up was for the magical battle that was taking place inside. No wonder it had attracted a lot of attention.

Lisa gave her full attention to the fascinating battle inside, screaming excitedly from time to time. Amy and Athena, by her side, were just as excited and didn't pay any attention to the looks of the people around them.

The swordsman had finally made it to the side of Lisa. He took in Lisa's chest and licked his lips as he approached, wanting to take advantage of her in the crowd.

Bam! Han Shuo suddenly appeared in the middle and body slammed the approaching swordsman, pushing him into a group of male thunder mages. He was subjected to a round of curses and insults.

Han Shuo, smiling merrily, flashed a proud grin at the swordsman who had finally regained his footing. He then stood leisurely next to Lisa and deliberately pushed his way forward a little, placing himself at Lisa's back.

The swordsman had been on the verge of getting what he wanted when Han Shuo had thrown him for a loop. With an angry and depressed expression on his face, he glared at Han Shuo from a distance and said, "You cut in line!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Han Shuo had a proud look on his face and slowly mouthed the words back, "So what?"

Rolling his eyes, the swordsman was a bit resigned. His cunning eyes turned in a circle as he planned to find another target. At that moment, Lisa's elbow suddenly shot back quickly, suddenly attacking Han Shuo's chest, catching him off guard.

However, this level of attack had absolutely no effect when it landed on Han Shuo. The swordsman on the other side, however,

He immediately revealed an expression that delighted in the misfortune of others and looked at Han Shuo with an eager expression, hoping to see him get into trouble.

"Huh! Another blind idiot comes over to take advantage, how annoying!" Lisa's impatient low growl sounded, and then she turned her head to look over angrily, but when she saw that it was Han Shuo, she immediately showed a surprised and happy expression and hastily asked, "Eh, you're back? Um... I didn't know it was you, did I just hurt you?"

Seeing that the guy across from him was enjoying his misfortune, Han Shuo immediately pretended to rub his chest and showed a pained expression. Lisa was greatly shocked and desperately reached out with her small hand and rubbed Han Shuo's chest, because this place was already crowded, Lisa's movement basically pushed her up against Han Shuo's chest.

The swordsman, who had been prepared to see Han Shuo go down, was stunned to see the situation unfold. Han Shuo had a proud smile on his face and he said to the swordsman, "Aren't I great?"

The swordsman said nothing and just gave Han Shuo the thumbs up signifying, "Damn, you're good. I'm in awe. He then turned his head and targeted another girl, pushing through once more. It looked like he was trying to see if he had the same luck as Han Shuo.

By now, Han Shuo could fully see the fight inside the square. He kept an eye on the battle between the dark majors and the light majors, looking for any sign of Fanny in the crowd.
