Chapter 458

Su Han turned around and instantly activated the Thunderflight Technique, appearing beside Guo Hongyu and the students.

Su Han frowned and scanned Guo Hongyu.

A sweep of Kenbunshoku Haki was enough to understand Guo Hongyu's current state.

"How did you get this badly injured?"

Su Han was stunned.

Guo Hongyu's Spirit Energy Sea had completely collapsed.

The so-called Spirit Energy Sea is where Spirit Energy gathers.

In other words, Guo Hongyu was now effectively ruined.

Unless he could truly find a supreme divine medicine capable of remolding the body, he would never again walk the path of Spirit Energy cultivation.

But such a... level of divine medicine—even a Grand Master might not be able to obtain it.

"...... Grand Master Su... to be honest, seeing you now, my emotions are extremely complex, and also very happy."

Guo Hongyu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.

When he truly confirmed what had happened before him, he smiled—a bright, joyful, delighted smile.

His eyes glowed.

He paid not the slightest attention to himself.

"So our human race... actually still has beings as powerful as you! You've surpassed the Grand Master level, haven't you?"

Su Han did not answer, but instead used Kenbunshoku Haki to observe the nearby students.

Originally, the two student teams participating in this cave trial totaled ten students, but now only six remained on the spot.

Four from Jingdu University, two from Zhendan University.

And their current condition matched Guo Hongyu's—Spirit Energy Seas destroyed, no possibility of ever cultivating Spirit Energy again.

Su Han now understood why the Black Armored Dragon Emperor had shown no regard for them earlier, and after Su Han arrived, didn't even look at them again.

It was because the Black Armored Dragon Emperor knew these people were beyond saving.

Even if Su Han truly reversed fate today and rescued them back, he would merely be rescuing a few ruined men.

"Actually, I think your injuries might still be salvageable!"

After a moment's hesitation, Su Han spoke softly.

"Don't comfort me, Grand Master Su—I know the extent of my injuries."

Guo Hongyu shook his head; though his ruin left him despondent, learning that Su Han might surpass the Grand Master level calmed his heart instantly.

With Su Han existing, even if one day Earth's war against the caves turns dire, as long as Su Han intervenes, humanity still has a chance to turn the tide.

They can preserve their vital essence.

That is enough for him.

For the survival of humanity, he had long made his decision—even sacrificing his own life was worth it.

Now, merely becoming a ruined man, still alive, is already good enough.

Knowing humanity's future isn't as hopeless as he imagined, why shouldn't he smile, why shouldn't he be happy? "So I say... you really can't listen to Su Han let out a long sigh, "Actually, I have some expertise in medicine."

In a flick of his palm, the Horse Talisman appeared in his hand.

Su Han placed his hand against Guo Hongyu's body without the slightest hesitation.

The All-Curing ability activated instantly.

After all... the Horse Talisman's All-Curing effect is passive—it costs nothing, just a favor done on the side.

Guo Hongyu had been about to urge Su Han not to waste effort, but the next instant, his entire body crackled with sharp, snapping sounds.

Guo Hongyu rose from the ground, his face blank with shock.

He instinctively moved his body, then reached up to touch the spot where his Spirit Energy Sea had been.
