Chapter 327

~9 min read 1,729 words

To spare time to be with oneself like this is already extremely difficult.

You really must understand and empathize with the other party more.

He had just returned to the Sky Keep.

Beidou approached him directly.

"What's wrong? You look so anxious..."

"It's because I've become a third-tier group member now—I have to complete independent missions! Otherwise, do you think I'd come looking for you...?"

She gave him a cold glance.

Her expression was one of exasperation.

Not long ago, he had said he was about to advance.

Had he forgotten all that already?

Su Han suddenly understood: "Ah, I see. Then what's your mission?"

"I haven't claimed it yet... Since you're here, I'll claim it now... A three-star independent mission—hope it has some challenge!"

Beidou clicked to claim it.

A redemption window popped up.

[Prompt: You are now a third-tier group member, and may independently select missions. Cooling time has been shortened—once per week, up to 547 times...]

[Note: Self-selected missions occur twice monthly; the other two are random!]

[Caution: Random missions fluctuate between two-star and three-star difficulty, never below two-star independent missions.]

Seeing this prompt,

Beidou said in surprise: "I didn't expect I could choose once myself... Not having to rely on randomness is truly great..."

"That’s wonderful! Quickly, check what this mission is!"

"Alright..."

She selected to claim the mission.

Soon, the framework of the independent mission appeared.

[Mission Difficulty]: Three Stars

[Requirements]: Defeat all knights within the King’s Ruins and slay the Hammer King Borodin...

[Restrictions]: The battle must end within two hours.

[Special]: Each knight has a built-in fifteen-minute timer. If not defeated within fifteen minutes, the mission resets immediately. If reset more than twice, the mission fails outright.

Su Han asked: "What’s the task?"

"Defeat all knights inside the King’s Ruins and kill the Hammer King Borodin... This mission has never been seen before. Any precautions?"

"The Hammer King Borodin? Now I get it! Here’s how it works—it summons several knights, each with unique traits... For example, the Wind Knight can vanish invisibly.

The Flame Knight explodes upon death.

The Guardian Knight reflects damage, the Light Knight causes dizziness...

The Ice Knight fires tracking ice spears that constantly harass you... As for Borodin himself,

Actually, he isn’t that hard.

Your power should easily cut him down—just ignore the knights he summons!"

"Why?"

"Because the knights summoned by the Hammer King Borodin are spirits of the dead—they keep resurrecting. So focus only on his true body!"

"Ah, I see."

Beidou suddenly understood.

Now that she knew the mission, naturally it was time to carry it out.

Watching her slowly vanish.

Su Han walked toward the top of the Sky Keep—he wanted to hand over the soul energy brought by Keqing to Fusha and Hanakai.

And the points were sufficient.

It was time for them to revive!

This time, Keqing did not absorb much soul energy.

But at the moment of parting,

she absorbed the soul fragments of those great hollows.

After purification,

she actually possessed quite a bit of soul energy.

Su Han walked to the rooftop, just as Yae Miko was already there.

Seeing him appear,

the other showed no surprise at all.

As if she had been waiting here all along.

“You know the score is already enough?”

“Of course... I’m not an idiot. Watching you act so mysteriously, how could I not guess? Come on, let me see how you’re shaping your body.”

By the way, in that case… wouldn’t you know every inch of that white fox’s skin?

Hehe…”

A trash fox is still a trash fox.

Three sentences and it’s always about this.

Su Han sighed, “You really… teasing Hanakaze like this now, just wait till she revives—she’ll come after you!”

“Pfft… I’m not scared at all, you know. Back then she could bully me a little, but now… just regained my physical form, I don’t believe her strength is anything special…”

The trash fox wore a face full of disdain.

At the same time, a sense of revenge simmered within.

After all, back then she had been treated like a pet by Kitsune Shrine Master.

Even toyed with using something similar to a cat teaser.

It was utterly disgusting.

Now it’s her turn to turn the tables—how could she possibly let go of that senior?

Looking at Yae Miko with a wicked expression, Su Han could only say, you might regret this.

Five-colored divine clay.

A creation from Nüwa’s own hands.

The body shaped from it

is no mere mortal flesh and blood.

Su Han infused soul energy into it, first letting the two absorb some of the soul energy.

Then he took Fusha’s soul to the adjacent room.

“Young master, this is…”

“It’s time to revive your body. The treasure has been exchanged—Fusha elder, come on now!!”

“Got it. Whatever you say, I’ll follow without question…”

“Shaping a body isn’t actually that difficult. The five-colored divine clay is more than sufficient for your needs. Now the question is—what kind of body do you want?”

One similar to your previous appearance,

or something different?”

After all, it’s a complete reshaping.

If Fusha Yaksha doesn’t like his former look,

it can be changed.

That’s no difficulty at all.

After thinking for a while, Fusha Yaksha said: “I am who I am… no need to change. Though, perhaps hiding those arms behind my back would be better.”

He was no longer a yaksha.

Keeping this form is fine.

It looked somewhat strange.

Why not keep it hidden during normal times? That way, it won’t draw attention from others.

When battle comes,

then release it.

If only it could be that easy.

Su Han listened to Fusha Yecha’s request and began crafting.

Five-colored divine mud split into three portions, one of which floated before the other.

The divine mud emitted five radiant lights that constantly flowed.

Just looking at it, one could sense its life force.

Fusha Yecha felt the aura within the divine mud and couldn’t help but show shock: “Truly astonishing—there exists such a wondrous object in this world.”

This small lump of mud

gave him the sensation of a peak-stage immortal’s power.

One could clearly see how precious this thing truly was.

Su Han smiled: “Brother Fusha, stop marveling—hurry and dive in! Your body and soul must align perfectly! The divine mud shapes the body according to your soul.

I can only assist in slightly modifying it.”

Although the five-colored divine mud was a divine artifact,

it wasn’t omnipotent.

For example, if the body and soul didn’t match,

it would cause adverse effects.

Matching the soul as closely as possible

is the most ideal method.

Of course, if you have other materials to assist, you can freely mold it.

Even granting the host body special powers.

But right now, he only had the divine mud, so he couldn’t do anything like that.

Fusha’s soul quickly plunged into the divine mud.

As soon as he entered,

he felt an intense pull, swallowing him whole.

Fusha Yecha tried to struggle.

But he found his spirit form utterly immobile.

He grew anxious.

Yet soon, a warm sensation spread through his core.

His spirit body merged with the five-colored divine mud.

Meanwhile, outside, Su Han used his power to slowly manipulate the divine mud.

Ensuring the pair of arms on the back possessed hidden strength.

This operation wasn’t difficult.

When obtaining the five-colored divine mud, the system provided instructions.

All one needed was to embed specific runes.

As the runes descended,

the pair of arms just formed instantly transformed into thunderous markings, gradually vanishing into the back.

And Fusha’s body

began to materialize in midair.

The figure remained eyes closed,

merging with the new body.

This process took several hours,

even over ten hours.

After arranging one person,

Su Han stood up and returned to Yae Miko’s side. At that moment, Hanakaze had also awakened.

Seeing him return from the next room,

both of their gazes turned toward him simultaneously.

Hanakaze remained expressionless: “When I was shaping my body, that little fox directly threw me out!”

“Oh really… no sisterly bond at all! I went to great lengths to earn soul crystals for you…”

“Hmph… what does sisterhood have to do with this? Dare you swear? There’s no hidden camera inside your spatial artifact! If you do have a camera-like device for recording images,

then all your tails will lose every single hair…

If not, then I’ll lose all my fur, how about that?”

Foxes highly valued their tails.

Especially the immortal fox lineage.

The tails were symbols of power.

Losing all the fur on one’s tail would be nothing short of a nightmare.

Instantly, Yae Miko fell silent.

Clearly, she had indeed hidden a recording device inside.

Specifically waiting to record the dirt about Hana Sari's resurrection.

Only a pity that it's now exposed.

Hana Sari sneered inwardly: "Pfft... still trying to act tough? Your little tricks—back in my day, I'd already grown bored of them! You have no idea how many photos of Raiden Ei I've stored!"

Hmph...

The two remained locked in silence for a while.

Yae Miko snorted coldly and slunk away.

Probably only Hana Sari could treat her now.

Because the other person held

even more dirt!!

When only the two of them remained in the room, the other one smiled at Su Han: "Could you add three more protective barriers against spying? That little fox isn't the type to give up so easily."

"Sure..."

Su Han formed hand seals.

Four glowing metal wedges pierced into the corners of the room.

Then layer upon layer of barriers

enveloped the two of them, shielding them.

Now, as long as it wasn't a divine-level being,

none could spy inside.

Because Su Han had also activated the Heavenly Chains.

Seeing such a secure room, Hana Sari couldn't help but nod.

"Not bad, my man—I picked well. Alright... start helping me reshape my body..."

"Hmm. But before we begin, let me ask—what do you want?"

Su Han recounted everything he’d just said, exactly as it was.

Including what could be altered.

And what could not be changed.

Unexpectedly, Hana Sari laughed: "Well... my request is actually very simple..."

"Huh?"

"Make your body whatever shape you like. As for the spirit form... probably still a fox body."

A glow flashed across her body.

Her previous disguise

finally reverted to her true appearance.
