Chapter 757: The Final Weakness of Su Han Is Filled
"...... Overall physical quality upgraded by one level."
Su Han's eyebrows twitched several times, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes—he hadn't expected this reward to be anything other than points, but something of a special nature instead.
Among all the missions Su Han had ever undertaken, special rewards were exceedingly rare, yet they were also exceptionally generous.
The next moment, a series of crisp cracks echoed across Su Han's entire body; he felt his physique strengthen dramatically, and after a brief sensing, a flicker of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
"...... Originally! My combat power and many abilities were already within the Saint's range, but my physical strength was merely at the threshold of Grandmaster level... Now, my physical strength has broken through into the Saint's concept—this is an unimaginable surprise!"
A complex expression surfaced on Su Han's face.
If he had to train for this himself, he had no idea how long it would take.
Even with the Time Room's assistance, it would take at least several years.
Don't be fooled by how Su Han earlier clashed fist-to-fist with Saint King Bai Hu without losing ground, even pushing the opponent into disadvantage.
That was mostly due to the enhancement from perfected Armament Haki.
Without perfected Armament Haki, Su Han's physique was far inferior to Bai Hu's.
This was also the fundamental reason why, halfway through the fight, Su Han had begun to pant—his stamina couldn't keep up with such intense consumption.
It was his old problem.
If it were a short, overwhelming battle, it wouldn't be an issue, but if the fight dragged on, his weakness would quickly become apparent.
This was one of the reasons Su Han had unhesitatingly called for Master Yu Qiyu.
And now, this weakness had been successfully patched by the system.
Su Han thought for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Qiyu, "By the way, Master Yu Qiyu, you completed the mission—did you get any reward?"
Yu Qiyu blinked, then rubbed his bald head and said, "Got 150,000 points! What's up?"
Su Han: "...... Nothing."
Su Han didn't know whether to be happy for Yu Qiyu or feel sorry for him.
In the end, he could only let out a bitter laugh.
Yu Qiyu sighed deeply, clearly dissatisfied with what he'd received.
"This system is ridiculous! Why can't it give me a few supermarket discount coupons instead of these points! Always points—useless to me!"
Su Han: "......"
That hit hard, Master Yu Qiyu.
If you said that in the Guild, a bunch of people who lie awake at night craving points would spit blood.
Far away.
Dozens of Grandmasters stood frozen in place, staring at Su Han and the suddenly appearing bald demon king, Yu Qiyu.
"Grandmaster Dama, am I dreaming?" Zhang Mingbei stared blankly at the scene, "A Saint appearing in the Underworld? Acceptable."
Su Sheng appearing just in time to block the opponent? Acceptable... But who can tell me—what is that bald man... No! That hairless Saint?"
Grandmaster Dama's lips twitched as he recalled the earlier scene.
After a long silence, he rarely swore aloud.
"...... I damn well want to know what the hell is going on!"
Grandmaster Dama would never underestimate Saint King Bai Hu; merely the aura the beast had radiated, which crushed Grandmasters with overwhelming pressure, and its terrifying self-healing, stamina, and destructive power shown in combat with Su Han, proved its strength.
It was a monstrous beast capable of destroying the world—its power rivaled the ancient Four Saints of Underworld legend.
Because real-world Grandmasters knew little about the Underworld, they hadn't even guessed that Saint King Bai Hu was actually one of the ancient Four Sacred Beasts.
But regardless, they all confirmed just how terrifying Saint King Bai Hu's power was—Su Han couldn't defeat it in a short time, yet that bald man had punched it to death in one blow.
Earth... still harbors such an utterly terrifying existence? All the Grandmasters trembled at their lips; they had stood atop this world for countless years, guarding it, naturally carrying pride and resolve.
But now they suddenly realized they didn't understand this world at all.
If not for their unshakable Grandmaster will and powerful soul force,
there would be far more than one or two Grandmasters doubting they were dreaming or deluded by illusions.
"...... Should we go and pay our respects to these two?"
The old principal of Beijing hesitated, then whispered softly.
This single sentence instantly jolted the other Grandmasters awake; they exchanged glances.
"...... But what if that new Saint finds us annoying?"
Zhang Mingbei asked another question.
Everyone fell silent again.
If they truly angered that new terrifying being, and that being raised a fist—
Referencing... Saint King Bai Hu's fate... total annihilation would be the best outcome.
On the other side.
After chatting for a while, Su Han pulled Yu Qiyu to the edge of the Zi Jin City Underworld fissure.
"Master Yu Qiyu, I have another favor to ask of you!"
Su Han's voice was extremely serious.
"Go ahead!"
Master Yu Qiyu stretched his wrists; though his demeanor had returned to casual, he took Su Han's words seriously.
After all, the Guild Master was so kind—he'd provided countless memory copies, even controllable ones, to fill Yu Qiyu's endless boredom and add color to his life.
No matter how you looked at it, Su Han's request had to be taken seriously.
"Punch as hard as you can into it! If you can shatter the other world, that would be perfect."
Su Han's voice was calm—he'd pondered this question for a long time.
If Yu Qiyu unleashed his full power, could he destroy a world? If so, the complete collapse of the Underworld would mean Earth could finally achieve true peace. Su Han truly desired peace for the real world, but the Underworld's sheer size made even someone as powerful as him feel helpless.
All he could do was drag things out, or wait for a large-scale catastrophe to occur before stepping in to resolve it.
Yu Qiyu's expression paused, then he furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"...... I'm not sure if I can do it, but I feel that if I throw this punch, the consequences might be severe."
Su Han froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered something; his pupils shrank sharply, he closed his eyes, and asked inwardly.
"System! If Teacher Yu Qiyu truly unleashed his full power and threw a punch that completely destroyed the Underground World,"
"what consequences would follow?"
After a brief silence, the System responded—rarely indeed.
"Underground World! Currently, several nodes are connected to the Real World! The dimensional barriers between them are extremely close."
"If the Underground World collapses entirely, it will cause immeasurable effects on the Real World."
Su Han's body stiffened; the idea of having Teacher Yu Qiyu deliver a direct punch to the Underground World vanished instantly.
If the Underground World really got shattered and took the Earth World down with it, the trouble would be enormous.
