Chapter 286: Cloud-Stepping Boots, Blood-Sealing Throat

After Gu Han patiently absorbed the attributes of several Martial Venerables.

His realm finally rose, reaching Martial Sect!

Even if only talking about realm, he is now a genuine Bijang!

After bidding farewell to the City Lord and the people of the other five great families.

Gu Han and the other Gu family members waited in the center of the training field for the frost giant egg to melt.

The frost giant egg occasionally exuded a strong chill.

It made the already bone-chillingly cold Han Shan Cheng even more frigid.

Some of the relatively weaker Gu family members involuntarily shivered.

Everyone trembled as they stepped back a few steps, barely able to endure this extreme cold.

After a full half-hour.

Only then did the frost giant egg emit a slight crack.

Just like the eggshell breaking, fine cracks appeared.

The next moment, silver light blazed forth.

The strong chill almost condensed into substance.

Waves of silvery-white mist condensed into clumps, like loyal guards escorting Gu Pan out from within.

Gu Pan slowly landed under the mist's protection, slowly opening her eyes.

She appeared unchanged from before.

But Gu Han furrowed his brow.

He actually sensed an unapproachable aura from Gu Pan!

He had never felt such an aura from Gu Pan before.

Even if Gu Pan had awakened five percent of the Six Phase Profound Ice Holy Body.

At most she was just a bit aloof toward outsiders.

Moreover, she had never shown such an aura to him.

"Brother, you've finally returned."

As soon as Gu Pan spoke, Gu Han felt that aloof aura dissipate somewhat.

Gu Han glared at Gu Pan angrily and gave her a firm flick on the forehead,

"Who let you take such a huge risk without my permission?"

"But if I didn't take this risk, and that bastard didn't act on his own, things would be even more troublesome."

Gu Pan pouted, saying in a wronged tone.

"That's not for you to risk!"

"Regardless of age or strength, there are people stronger than you, and you hardly have any combat experience!"

Gu Han said angrily,

"What would Mother and I do if you encountered danger?"

Hearing Gu Han speak full of resentment, Gu Pan's face also filled with self-reproach.

She furtively glanced at Gu Chen, hoping he would speak for her.

However, Gu Chen merely shrugged.

Gu Han is currently angry and doesn't want to provoke trouble.

As for Gu Pan, she'd better fend for herself!

After scolding Gu Pan, Gu Han grabbed her ear and returned to the Gu family estate.

Upon returning home, what awaited Gu Pan was her mother Xu Xin Zhu's nagging!

And Gu Han's heart was filled with deep worry.

"System, has Panpan's holy body unsealing level increased compared to before?"

"Reply, Host: according to the system's estimate, Gu Pan's Six Phase Profound Ice Holy Body is currently about 12% unsealed!"

Upon hearing that, Gu Han's brow immediately furrowed.

Earlier he went to the depths of the Thousand Year Cold Valley and retrieved the Clear Heart Snow Lotus that even Martial Venerables would covet.

That only raised Gu Pan's Six Phase Profound Ice Holy Body unsealing progress to five percent.

Although such heavenly treasures can continue to exert their medicinal effects afterward.

But in just a few days, going from five percent to twelve percent, this progress is too exaggerated!

"Perhaps it's related to Panpan's earlier use of the frost giant egg."

Gu Han murmured in his heart.

The martial techniques Gu Pan previously mastered were all system-produced, transferred to her by Gu Han.

But Gu Han had never given her such a martial technique before!

This indicates that Gu Pan's martial technique either came from someone else.

Or it is an innate technique of the Six Phase Profound Ice Holy Body itself!

But there is also a worst-case scenario that Gu Han doesn't want to think about.

That is, the previous incarnation of Gu Pan, existing before reincarnation, left this martial technique deep in her soul.

After a certain number of uses, it will activate past-life memories.

Although this is merely speculation, it is the situation Gu Han least wants to face.

Past and present lives can be said to have no connection at all.

But they can also be said to be intimately related.

If Gu Pan truly awakened her past-life memories, could he forcibly erase them?

Even if he could do it, would he be willing to do so?

"Well then, let's take it one step at a time."

Gu Han let out a long sigh,

"I only hope it's not the worst outcome."

Throwing that thought to the back of his mind, Gu Han gestured with his hand.

The Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, having broken through to King Rank, appeared in Gu Han's palm.

Compared to before, the golden radiance of the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear had not only not become more vigorous, but had become somewhat restrained.

At a glance, it was merely a golden spear emitting a faint golden glow.

Although the craftsmanship was clearly extraordinary at first glance.

But it did not immediately bring to mind a King Rank spiritual artifact.

Gu Han communicated briefly with the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear and found that it could currently say very few words.

The word it uttered most frequently was "Hunger"!

Gu Han's mouth twitched—could a spear actually get hungry?

Does it still observe the basic law?

The food of the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear naturally consists of various rare ores used to forge spiritual artifacts, as well as other spiritual artifacts.

Gu Han immediately opened, in his mind, the five fourth-stage treasure boxes he had looted from the corpses of the five earlier Martial Sovereigns.

If he could obtain some spiritual artifacts, they would perfectly serve as food for the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear.

"Ding, congratulations host on opening a fourth-stage treasure box, obtaining a Heavenly Tier Medium-grade Spiritual Artifact: Ice Frost Chain Armor!"

"Ding, congratulations host on opening a fourth-stage treasure box, obtaining a Heavenly Tier Medium-grade Spiritual Artifact: Cloud-Stepping Boots!"

"Ding, congratulations host on opening a fourth-stage treasure box, obtaining a Heavenly Tier Top-grade Martial Skill: See Blood Seal Throat!"

"Ding, congratulations host on opening a fourth-stage treasure box, obtaining a Medium-grade Hundred Vein Black Crystal Iron Ore Vein!"

"Ding, congratulations host on your exploding luck, opening a fourth-stage treasure box to obtain a Divine Beast Egg!"

A series of system notification sounds rang in Gu Han's ears.

The azure Ice Frost Chain Armor, at first glance clearly the most suitable spiritual artifact for Panpan, was set aside for now.

After disciplining Panpan, he would then give it to her.

The Cloud-Stepping Boots, however, were perfectly suited to Gu Han.

The boots he currently wears are Earth Rank Medium-grade; switching to the Cloud-Stepping Boots will surely cause his speed to surge!

Moreover, what surprised Gu Han was that the Cloud-Stepping Boots also have an active effect.

"Cloud-Step: Release cloud mist to increase one's own speed by thirty percent, or hinder the vision and speed of enemies within a certain range."

"A thirty percent boost, which can also be converted into an area effect—this is a huge trump card on the battlefield!"

Gu Han's eyes lit up.

He immediately put on the Cloud-Stepping Boots and, at the same time, chose to learn See Blood Seal Throat in his mind.

Pouring countless martial skill experience points into See Blood Seal Throat, its proficiency instantly reached the peak of perfection!

See Blood Seal Throat (Passive Skill): When attacking an enemy and causing damage, increase the enemy's chance of bleeding; against an enemy in a bleeding state, all damage dealt is increased by fifty percent!
