Chapter 96: Flaw

~6 min read 1,181 words

Han Li discovered during the actual manipulation of the gray light dancing that although the gray light transformed by the talisman paper driven by the "Object-Driving Art" was extremely sharp, cutting everything, and could fly up to attack the enemy with his hand gestures, there were still some not-so-small restrictions when performing it.

First, driving this gray light was too expensive in terms of magic power!

Like Han Li, who had reached the eighth layer of the Chang Chun Gong, he could continuously perform the complete version of the Fireball Art over a hundred times. But when driving the gray light, his magic power could only last for a short quarter of an hour before it was completely exhausted.

Now that he thought about it, it wasn't that Master Jin Guang didn't want to use the gray light at the beginning, but his magic power was too limited, and the time he could drive this talisman paper was probably pitifully short.

This also explained why the resistance Han Li encountered when seizing this object was so weak. It was very likely that the other party had already exhausted most of his magic power when driving the gray light earlier, and then encountered Han Li, a fresh force whose magic power was originally several times deeper than his. The dwarf was naturally defeated, and Han Li easily succeeded.

Besides this, another disadvantage of the gray light was that there was a certain restriction on the distance it could fly to hurt people. The gray light could only be manipulated freely within twenty feet centered on Han Li. Once it exceeded this range, it would become sluggish and stiff, sometimes failing. When it flew beyond thirty feet, the gray light would completely turn back into the talisman paper and fall to the dust.

If Han Li thought that the above two shortcomings would gradually improve when his magic power improved, then the last problem was the fatal flaw of the talisman paper itself.

After using the talisman paper a few times, Han Li discovered that the cold light emitted by the small gray sword drawn on the talisman paper was slowly weakening as the number of times the talisman paper was used increased, as if its lifespan was gradually shortening. In other words, this talisman paper had a limit on the number of times and time it could be used. When its number of times was used up, it would be the day when this talisman paper lost its spirit and reached the end of its life.

This was also one of the reasons why Han Li stopped practicing immediately after learning how to drive the gray light. After all, he still wanted to keep such a powerful thing for the critical moment. Perhaps this object would save his life in some crisis in the future.

Similarly, Han Li believed that the golden talisman that could turn into a golden light shield should have the same restriction, but he didn't know the incantation for using it for the time being, so he had to hide it properly for future use.

As for the triangular token and the Qin family genealogy, Han Li also studied them during his rest, but unfortunately, he gained nothing.

Just like this, on the fifth day, when Han Li had just taken down the sign of not seeing people, Li Li Feiyu broke in, and as soon as he saw Han Li, he told him the rumors that he had been demonized.

These rumors made Han Li laugh and cry. He could only keep a straight face, looking at Li Li Feiyu, watching the other party openly laughing at him.

Li Li Feiyu finally stopped laughing, slowly restrained his smile, and started to say to Han Li in a solemn tone: "I think you should be able to guess the reason why I came here!"

"Hmm! Isn't it just that several big figures are worried about me, so they sent you to probe my tone!" Han Li said lightly, not caring.

"Hehe! You know it." Li Li Feiyu let out a long sigh of relief.

"However, how do you plan for me, this good friend, to explain to those guys? You must know that in order to buy me off, they have already promised to promote me, this Deputy Hall Master of the Outer Blade Hall, to the main position." Li Li Feiyu then became cheeky again.

Han Li frowned, thought for a while, and whispered lightly: "It seems that if I don't meet with Sect Master Wang and those people, and clarify some things, they won't be at ease."

"How about this! You go back and tell Sect Master Wang that tomorrow at noon, I will personally go to Sunset Peak to see him, and tell him not to be anxious." Han Li said with a smile.

"Okay! With your words, I can explain it." Li Li Feiyu shrugged, looking indifferent.

Next, Han Li and Li Li Feiyu chatted for a while, and Han Li even performed the "Fireball Art" at close range to open the eyes of this good friend, making him envious for a long time.

Then not long after, Li Li Feiyu said goodbye and left the valley, returning to explain to Wang Wang Juechu and others.

Han Li stood at the door, looking at Li Li Feiyu's distant back, lost in thought for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled mysteriously, and then looked very happy as he entered the house and closed the door.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting bright, Li Li Feiyu sneaked onto Sunset Peak without anyone knowing, and then quietly sneaked into Sect Master Wang's room.

When Wang Wang Juechu woke up and saw the figure standing straight by his bed, his complexion became as ugly as it could be. But he still squeezed out some smiles, asking a bit unnaturally:

"Why did Doctor Han come here? I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you from afar! However, wasn't it agreed that we would meet at noon? Why did you come so early?"

Han Li looked at Sect Master Wang coldly. This look made Wang Wang Juechu's hair stand on end, and his face felt as uncomfortable as being cut by a knife.

Han Li saw the other party reveal a trace of fear, and felt a bit proud in his heart. This look he gave Sect Master Wang was a special effect he had only after casting the "Heaven Eye Art." This was a new use of the "Heaven Eye Art" he had discovered during his research in the past few days. It could be used to cause mental shock to ordinary people, making them panic, which was somewhat similar to the strange skill "Soul-Taking Art" circulating in the Jianghu.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that if I come in the morning, everyone might have a clearer head and won't do anything that makes the other party unhappy." Han Li had no expression on his face, but his tone seemed a bit unkind.
