Of course, this is because Hun Han's soul power is twice that of an ordinary person. Otherwise, if it were someone else, it would definitely make their face turn pale, and even risk fainting.

The defeat of the Mysterious Water Lightning Bat also shows that Hun Han is qualified to cultivate this thing.

The Dou Qi within Hun Han's body began to circulate slowly along the path described on the scroll. Finally, it seeped out from his palm and into the scroll.

As the Dou Qi seeped into the scroll, it emitted a brilliant silver light. The Bat Wings on the scroll transformed into two small silver beams of light that shot into Hun Han's palm. Finally, they traveled to Hun Han's back.

"Ah!"

Everything had only just begun.

Under the effect of the two silver beams of light, the meridians in Hun Han's spine were forcibly stretched, forming two small collateral branches.

The burning pain on his back was so excruciating that it made Hun Han's forehead break out in a cold sweat. Hun Han acted decisively, raising his hand and hitting himself on the back of the head, knocking himself unconscious.

"What's going on? Will I fail the training if I knock myself out?"

When Hun Han woke up from his slumber, the burning pain on his back was gone, which was very different from the descriptions in the storyline. Anyone who practiced flying Fighting Skills would experience a stinging sensation afterward. However, Hun Han felt nothing at all.

Anxiously, Hun Hun looked at the scroll on the ground, which was now blank. He touched his Storage Ring, flicked his finger, and a crystal mirror appeared in his hand. In the light emitted by the Moonlight Stone, Hun Han could see that on his back were a pair of palm-sized, silver tattoos resembling bat wings.

With a thought, Hun Han channeled the Dou Qi within his body. The tattoo, which was only palm-sized, suddenly erupted with silver light. On his back, a pair of lifelike silver Bat Wings appeared.

When spread, the Bat Wings could reach two and a half meters. Wisps of silver lightning crackled around them, making them look incredibly dazzling. Hun Han gently flapped his wings, and a subtle buoyancy caused his body to slowly lift off the ground.

Cool for one second.

The next second, with no flying experience, Hun Han's buoyancy became unbalanced, and he fell directly from the air.

"It seems I need to find a place to practice mastering this skill! For now, it's time to go and sign in at the Exploding Heaven Gang!"

Hun Han stopped channeling Dou Qi, and the Lightning Bat Sky Wings on his back retracted rapidly as a silver light, finally transforming back into silver tattoos.

Hun Han stood up, walked to the cave entrance, channeled his Dou Qi, and punched the giant rock blocking the entrance.

Overlord Fist

As Hun Han's fist struck out, the giant rock at the cave entrance was blasted away with immense force. The entire rock was pulverized into powder by the ferocious Dou Qi.

"Huh, my physical body has grown stronger again."

Hun Han was secretly delighted. His physical strength had become even stronger. After the expansion of his meridians by the Lightning Bat Sky Wings last night, his body had clearly strengthened a little more.

Originally, Hun Han's physical strength could only smash a giant rock into pieces. Now, he could smash it into powder. Roughly estimated, Hun Han's physical strength had reached the level of a hundred bulls.

One bull is one hundred jin, so a hundred bulls is ten thousand jin.

Emerging from the forest, Hun Han arrived at the roadside. His Yellow Steed, which had been tied to a large tree by the roadside, was nowhere to be seen after a night. Not just in the Black Corner Region, but even in other places, people would do such opportunistic thieving.

Helplessly, without his Yellow Steed, Hun Han had to walk. By noon, Hun Han had crossed five mountain ridges, and a massive city built from red-striped stones loomed into view. At the four city gates, he could vaguely see dense clusters of tiny black dots, like ants, converging and pouring into the city's great red maw.

"Twilight City is here!"

Hun Han looked at the map in his hand. The city ahead, like blood, was the location of the Blood Sect's sect – Twilight City.

"I wonder where the Exploding Heaven Gang is. Oh well, I'll ask around in the city first!"

If it weren't for the Location Sign-in quest issued by the system, Hun Han probably wouldn't have known that such a gang existed in the Black Corner Region. Even though Hun Han was familiar with the storyline of Battle Through the Heavens and possessed a god's-eye view, in his mind, there was no such gang in the Black Corner Region.

To be able to name it the Exploding Heaven Gang, Hun Han wanted to meet the sect leader who founded it and see what kind of divine being he was to come up with such an awesome name.

Upon arriving outside the gates of Twilight City, ten men in red robes were seated on chairs beside the entrance. In front of them was a large table, upon which sat a huge chest.

Most cities in the Black Corner Region were controlled by various factions. To enter a city, one had to pay the required entrance fee to these factions. Only then could you avoid being robbed by them. After all, anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't do something as foolish as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Of course, there were exceptions. If they didn't kill the goose, it was likely because the value of the eggs wasn't enough to attract them.

"Boss, do you know how to get to the Exploding Heaven Gang?"

After eating two bowls of fried noodles at a noodle shop in the city, Hun Han asked the proprietress as he was paying.

"Exploding Heaven Gang?"

The proprietress sized up Hun Han and then asked, "Young man, do you want to join a sect? If you want to join a sect, I suggest you join the Blood Sect. I heard their sect leader has the cultivation of a Dou Huang!"

Hun Han shook his head. "No, someone gave me a letter that needs to be delivered to the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang. I already have my own forces."

For safety's sake, Hun Han told a white lie.

"Go out through the western city gate, cross three mountains. You'll come to a three-way intersection. Then, take the path leading to the highest peak, and you'll reach the Exploding Heaven Gang," the proprietress said kindly.

"Oh, thank you."

Hun Han paid for his noodles and headed in the direction of the west gate. Before he had taken a few steps, a voice called out to him.

"Hey, little brother, little brother, don't go!"

Hun Han stopped and looked back, only to see a beggar shouting at him from behind. The beggar's hair was disheveled, and his clothes were in tatters. He held a broken bowl in one hand and a wooden stick in the other. Such an appearance in the Black Corner Region did not inspire any good feelings. He frowned slightly and asked, "What is it?"

The beggar sized up Hun Han and exclaimed, "Wow, amazing, truly amazing! A divine light is shooting out from the crown of your head. Do you know that at such a young age, you have a body of hardened muscles? You are truly a rare genius!"

Hearing this, Hun Han's eyes widened, and a wry smile touched his lips. "Are you going to tell me that the responsibility of punishing evil, eliminating harm, and maintaining world peace now falls upon me?"

The beggar, without blushing or even breathing heavily, nodded and continued, "That's right. Hmm, indeed, you are wise. All you lack now is a suitable master. I see we are fated. How about this? For just one hundred Gold Coins, I will take you as my disciple!"

Hun Han gave him a sideways glance and said with a smile, "I have important matters to attend to, old man. You should go and trick someone else!"

After saying that, Hun Han placed a Gold Coin in the old beggar's bowl. Then, he turned and headed towards the west city gate without looking back.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
