Chapter 625

"Ding! Monitored intent of Gonghui Society's leader Su Xiao Xiao, triggering phased side quest—"

Side Quest Name: Suppress the Underworld. Quest Type: Phased Long-Term Side Quest. Participants: Su Han. Brief: Suppressing the Underworld cannot be accomplished in a short time.

Each time a participant repels an Underworld incursion into the real world, it counts as completing one phase, earning rewards.

If a participant completely suppresses the Underworld, destroys it, or severs its connection to the real world entirely, the quest is fully completed.

Reward: Each time a phased task is completed and an Underworld incursion is repelled, a large amount of points is awarded.

Upon full completion of the quest:

The participant's any three skills are unconditionally upgraded by one level! Su Han sucked in a sharp breath, his scalp prickling.

This quest reward terrified him.

Every repulsion of an Underworld incursion grants a pile of points, let alone the later reward—upgrading any three skills by one level.

You should know that Su Han's skills themselves have already undergone evolution.

In his current state, Su Han's strength is already extremely powerful. If, in this state, any three of his skills were to level up once more, what kind of state would that be... If his luck holds out, I might even reach the level of combat power capable of destroying a planet.

Su Han swallowed hard.

At the same time, he made up his mind that he could no longer keep being such a salted fish.

Of course, Su Han wasn't willing to go down into the caverns every day to slay beasts.

But if a cavern outbreak occurred, he was still very willing to lend a hand and drive the cavern back completely.

He could pick up a mission along the way, and once his strength was sufficient in the future, he'd sweep the caverns in one go and level up three skills—how satisfying.

"... Master! Is something the matter?"

Ram's eye twitched slightly, then she gazed at Su Han's face and spoke with some concern.

"Or is it that something urgent has come up again and you need to leave? If it's not urgent, finish your meal before you go..."

Su Han was momentarily stunned, then glanced at Ram. His Observation Haki picked up on her reluctance to part, and he fell silent for a moment before smiling.

"Don't overthink it! Ram.

It's nothing urgent.

I just thought of a key question!"

"Let's keep eating!"

Hearing that Su Han had no intention of leaving, Ram finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile once again appeared on her face.

After Su Han finished his meal, he had Ram and the others continue tidying up the house while he returned to his room and went through his usual training routine.

Just as Su Han was halfway through his training, his phone suddenly rang.

"... Who is it?"

Su Han's brow twitched slightly. He glanced at the phone number, and his expression shifted, "That old fellow again—what's happened now?"

Su Han saw that the caller was none other than Li Hongtian.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Han still picked up the call.

"What happened?"

"Saint Su! You should have seen the news about the cavern outbreak in Shannan Province not long ago, right?"

Li Hongtian didn't show the same reverence as last time this time, getting straight to the point.

His words were somewhat hurried—clearly, time was pressing.

"... I've seen it!"

Su Han suddenly recalled something, and his brow twitched several times, "Didn't they say the Shannan Province cavern outbreak had been suppressed?"

"... Only the first wave was suppressed! Now... the situation over there is rather dire. A second large cavern passage capable of allowing Beast Sovereigns to pass through may appear... On the other side of the Shannan cavern, more than three Beast Sovereigns have already gathered."

"There's only one Grandmaster over there! He absolutely cannot hold them off.

I'm about to set out for that location! Otherwise... if a second large passage within Huaxia's borders capable of allowing Beast Sovereigns to pass through becomes established, the consequences would be unthinkable.

This passage must be broken."

A barely perceptible note of pleading crept into Li Hongtian's words.

"Your Eminence Saint Su, I have a request! While I'm on my way to Shannan Province, could you help me guard the entire southern region... You don't need to patrol the southern region—you only need to extend a sliver of your spiritual sense..."

"Normally, while I'm away, the southern region should be fine.

Your task should be very easy..."

Li Hongtian paused, a hint of bitterness in his voice, "Of course, if something truly unexpected happens, then I'll need you to step in and hold the line."

"If you can agree... no matter what...

Whether or not a cavern invasion occurs in the southern region during this period, I'll owe you a tremendous favor..."

"If a cavern invasion does occur in the south, I'll owe you two tremendous favors! In the future, should you have need of me, just say the word!"
