Chapter 383: Misunderstanding Resolved
"Can you listen to me properly now?"
"We have nothing to say to accomplices of the Dragon Demon Palace," the hot-tempered Mo You said coldly.
"Don't think you've already won; once Lord Bei Ming arrives, you will surely die."
"I will say this one last time."
Xiao Han also lost his temper, "I don't know any Dragon Demon Palace!"
"I was just brought here by a spatial turbulence."
"If we really want to calculate it..."
"Your people attacked me after I landed; it is already a sign of my good temper that I haven't wiped you all out."
"Or do you think..." Xiao Han's eyes narrowed, and tangible killing intent burst out of his body. With a grip of his palm, the chains binding them tightened even further, and faint cracks even began to appear on the Supreme Dharma Bodies of the few.
"That I truly dare not kill you all?!"
As his voice fell, the others also calmed down.
"Does Your Excellency truly have nothing to do with the Dragon Demon Palace?" Taicang asked, half-believing and half-doubting. Just as Xiao Han had said, the few of them were already powerless to resist, their lives hanging by a single thought of the other party; there was no need for the other party to play games with them.
If that was the case, perhaps a misunderstanding had really occurred this time!
"I just arrived in this world, how would I know who you are?" Xiao Han said directly. He no longer had the time to drag things out with these people; it was better to tell the truth.
At the very least, the character of these academy higher-ups could be trusted to some extent; as an outsider, he could not help but rely on the strength of the locals.
However, Xiao Han's words shocked everyone. "Your Excellency is not from the Da Qian World?" Taicang asked in surprise.
"Da Qian World?" Xiao Han displayed a perfectly appropriate amount of confusion. "Here?"
"I come from the Dou Qi Continent!"
"Hiss!" Taicang and the others gasped. This person was actually a powerhouse who had ascended from a lower plane, and this strength was a bit excessive—to be able to take them all down right after arriving!
Eh? That's not right!
"Does Your Excellency's body not have any problems?" Taicang finally calmed his heart at this moment and began to size up Xiao Han, finally discovering some clues. This strange powerhouse was actually not exchanging energy with the outside world!
Anyone who practiced, even those in the Spiritual Movement Stage who had just begun to practice Spiritual Art, would have the Spirit Power within their bodies autonomously communicate with the outside world under the effect of the Spiritual Art, but this person had actually isolated their own self from the outside Spirit Power. This was not simple!
At this moment, Taicang already believed him eighty percent.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Han said "defensively," Dou Qi surging in his hand.
"Your Excellency, wait!"
Taicang said hurriedly, "We have a way to solve Your Excellency's current physical problem!"
He was truly afraid that if he spoke too late, he would be killed on the spot by this lower-plane powerhouse before him.
Sure enough, after Taicang finished speaking, the man stopped the attack that was about to fall and said "surprisedly": "You know what my problem is?"
"I know, I know..."
Taicang nodded repeatedly and said without delay: "As an existence who broke the shackles of a lower plane to come to the Da Qian World, the power within your body will autonomously convert toward Spirit Power."
"Now, the two types of power have caused a conflict within your body, is that so?"
"Spirit Power?" Xiao Han "sensed" for a moment. "Is that the strange power inside my body?"
"That's right," Taicang continued. "Your Excellency's problem is one that almost every lower-plane powerhouse who breaks through the planes to come to the Da Qian World encounters."
"This is common knowledge recognized in the Da Qian World."
"You only need to convert the power within your body into Spirit Power."
"How do I do it?" Xiao Han asked.
"How about Your Excellency lets us go for now?" Taicang asked politely.
"Presumably Your Excellency must have many things you do not understand; we can specifically answer them for you."
"What are the conditions?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow. Taicang being so polite actually made Xiao Han feel a bit uncomfortable. Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding, the fact that he had beaten Taicang and the others to a pulp was an unchangeable fact. What was the situation with this appearance of being willing to teach him everything?
Taicang sensed the vigilance in Xiao Han's eyes and hurriedly explained:
"Your Excellency is overthinking it. These problems are very easy to solve even relying on Your Excellency yourself; it just requires spending a bit more time."
"I just want to form a good connection with a powerhouse like Your Excellency."
Taicang said these words with sincerity. To be able to pin them, several Supreme powerhouses, to the ground while his internal powers were clashing—the ferocity of the other party's strength was evident.
Facing such a lower-plane powerhouse who was bound to soar, he would have to have water in his brain to actively provoke him.
"Then..."
Under Taicang's anxious gaze, Xiao Han slowly spoke, "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency."
Following that, Xiao Han moved his mind, and the chains binding the Supreme Dharma Bodies instantly dissipated. The Northern Kingdom Killing Realm was lifted, and the surroundings returned to normal.
Just as Taicang and the others were about to step forward, Xiao Han's expression suddenly changed slightly. He waved his sleeve, and dozens of long spears suddenly appeared, shooting violently toward a spot in the void.
"Boom!"
A huge dragon claw reached out, colliding fiercely with the long spears and shaking the space until it shattered.
"The people of the Dragon Demon Palace actually hired someone with some ability this time..."
"Lord Bei Ming, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." Taicang and the others, who had been stunned on the sidelines, hurriedly spoke up to explain. After the battle just now, they really didn't think Beiming Longkun could steadily defeat this person. Furthermore, this was a battle where neither winning nor losing was appropriate.
If he won, it would make the other party hold a grudge and needlessly offend them; if he lost, would Lord Bei Ming still have any face left?
After the explanations from the few of them, Beiming Longkun, dressed in a coarse linen robe, also looked slightly embarrassed. He cupped his hands and said: "I have offended you this time, and I hope Your Excellency will forgive me."
However, Xiao Han waved his hand without caring at all, "Your Excellency is too polite."
"I am Xiao Han, from the Dou Qi Continent in the lower planes. May I ask how to address you?"
"My true form is Beiming Longkun, and I serve as the Guardian Beast of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. You may address me as Bei Ming."
Because Xiao Han's strength had been recognized by Beiming Longkun, the latter's words were also quite polite.
Afterward, Beiming Longkun also began to introduce Taicang and the others behind him, and Xiao Han returned the courtesy.
Feeling the increasingly worsening condition within his body, Xiao Han could not help but say urgently:
"I wonder if your academy might be willing to teach me that so-called method of Spirit Power conversion."
Beiming Longkun was taken aback, then immediately noticed Xiao Han's increasingly chaotic aura, surprised that he had been able to suppress this assimilation until now.
Feeling immense admiration in his heart, yet growing increasingly wary of Xiao Han's strength, he said with a chuckle:
"That is certainly no problem."
"After all, these things are not exactly secrets in the Da Qian World."
Compared to many Spiritual Arts and similar items for cultivation, any faction in the Da Qian World with even a modicum of capability would collect a copy of the Spirit Power conversion method.
The purpose is to be able to form a good connection with experts from lower planes when encountering a situation like today's.
Afterward, Beiming Longkun directly took out a thin sheet of black paper and handed it to Xiao Han; the latter glanced over it briefly and thanked him: "Many thanks for your help, Excellency. If there is ever a need in the future, I will certainly not refuse."
Beiming Longkun chuckled and said: "It is merely a small matter."
He had been waiting for these very words!
"Spirit Power conversion takes quite a bit of time and cannot be interrupted by anyone. You may stay in my Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy for the time being; it will not be too late to leave after you have finished."
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer," Xiao Han said, cupping his fists.
"Then please follow me, Excellency!"
"My Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy has a place that is quite suitable." Beiming Longkun turned and walked forward; with every step he took, he would appear thousands of feet away, and Xiao Han followed him immediately.
