Rapid Advancement

"Whatever Gu Han needs, do your best to satisfy him."

Guan Shan thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If the Logistics Department is lacking anything, feel free to submit an application to me at any time. Don't delay."

"Also, report Gu Han's exchanges and recent movements to me privately."

Seeing Guan Shan's solemn attitude, Li Qiang was immediately astonished, followed by a strong sense of envy towards Gu Han.

To be so highly valued by General Guan, Gu Han's future was definitely boundless!

"General Guan, Gu Han mentioned he might need more demonic beast inner cores. What do you think..."

Guan Shan frowned, not understanding Gu Han's purpose for needing so many demonic beast inner cores.

However, since he had decided to play the long game, he wouldn't quibble over trivial gains.

Guan Shan casually took out five demonic beast inner cores.

"Take these for now. Come back to me when Gu Han needs them."

Guan Shan was about to leave after speaking, but he suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, "Don't make it too easy for Gu Han, and don't act too deliberately."

After Guan Shan left, Li Qiang murmured in confusion, "What does he mean by 'don't make it too easy'? Isn't he just saying Gu Han can't get things for free?"

Li Qiang lay back on his lounge chair, took out a palm-leaf fan, and leisurely fanned himself as he began to doze off.

Having a general as a backer was truly great.

If a big shot like Guan Shan had valued him back then, he wouldn't still be a mere registrar in the Logistics Department.

Gu Han's opportunities were indeed something he couldn't envy.

After leaving the military camp, Gu Han ventured deep into the wilderness to continue hunting demonic beasts.

He had already made arrangements with Ma Tie and the others to cover for him these past few days.

As long as no major incident occurred at the military camp requiring all logistics soldiers to be present, Ma Tie and the others would handle everything for him.

Once he was deep in the wilderness and certain he wasn't being followed, Gu Han finally took out the demonic beast inner core.

The inner core was fiery red all over and as large as two fists.

For Little Wolf, who was still in its infancy, this demonic beast inner core was about half its body size.

And demonic beast inner cores weren't like roasted meat that could be chewed and swallowed.

With an inner core this large, Little Wolf probably couldn't eat it.

"Awoo~"

Little Wolf smelled the demonic beast inner core and knew it was food Gu Han had prepared for it. It let out a joyful whimper.

A burst of brilliant blue light suddenly erupted from its body.

Within the light, Little Wolf transformed into a form the size of a Samoyed.

Immediately after, Little Wolf stood up on its hind legs and eagerly took the demonic beast inner core from Gu Han's hand.

Then, it opened its small mouth and took a bite.

Crack!

Little Wolf managed to bite off a piece from the hard demonic beast inner core!

Little Wolf winced in pain, clearly its teeth weren't strong enough to gnaw directly on the demonic beast inner core.

Gu Han chuckled, "So you can grow bigger? Keeping such a small form normally, are you trying to act cute and play the pig to eat the tiger?"

But Little Wolf was clearly too busy feasting to pay attention to Gu Han.

Gu Han didn't push it and put it into his backpack before continuing his hunt.

For the next few days, his main targets were demonic beasts of rank five and above in the first star.

The first star corresponded to the most basic human realm, Martial Disciple.

Only these demonic beasts could allow Gu Han to quickly improve his strength.

Anyway, as long as they weren't particularly tough, for the current Gu Han, they would be taken down in at most one punch.

If one punch wasn't enough, then two!

Time flew by, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, Gu Han received a message from Li Qiang and exchanged for three more demonic beast inner cores at the Logistics Department.

Little Wolf's strength also grew rapidly under Gu Han's feeding.

By the last day, its strength had even reached the sixth rank of the first star!

It could even withstand some first-star eighth-rank demonic beasts alone without being at a disadvantage.

Facing some one-star, rank-eight demonic beasts with average species, Little Wolf even had a chance to slay them!

Gu Han's strength was even greater than Little Wolf's.

On the way back to the camp, Gu Han smiled and patted Little Wolf's head.

"It wasn't a waste for me to provide you with demonic beast blood energy and to exchange so many demonic beast inner cores for you during this time."

Gu Han had only managed to obtain less than five points of water elemental energy.

He had obtained nearly eighty points of demonic beast blood energy, all of which were used to improve Little Wolf's strength, with none saved.

Moreover, Gu Han had already determined that while Little Wolf looked cute and cuddly, it was definitely a cunning wolf!

Little Wolf, a dignified one-star, rank-six creature, was still a tiny thing like at the beginning!

Anyone would be fooled by Little Wolf's adorable appearance!

"Little Wolf's strength has improved significantly. The demonic beast blood energy and water elemental energy from now on must be saved to enhance Little Wolf's bloodline."

Although Little Wolf's strength improvement and bloodline improvement required the same resources, they were not the same category.

It wasn't that the demonic beast blood energy Little Wolf used to improve its strength would also accumulate towards bloodline improvement.

Gu Han hadn't encountered any two-star demonic beasts in the past few days of hunting.

He estimated that he would have to specifically search for them and hunt two-star demonic beasts to obtain demonic beast inner cores.

After all, he had been frequently exchanging demonic beast inner cores during this period.

Gu Han could clearly feel that Li Qiang's gaze towards him seemed a bit off.

To be safe, it was better to exchange less at the Logistics Department.

When Gu Han returned to the camp this time, it was the logistics soldiers' major cleaning time.

He had deliberately returned early to attract everyone's attention.

As expected, Gu Han, dragging four bulging snakeskin bags, quickly drew the attention of a group of logistics soldiers.

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen Gu Han these past few days. So, this guy went out to hunt in the wild."

Except for Ma Tie and the others who shared a dormitory with Gu Han, and Li Qiang who handled registrations at the Logistics Department.

The vast majority of the logistics soldiers didn't know what Gu Han had been busy with during this period.

Therefore, upon seeing this scene, everyone immediately started discussing.

"Isn't he afraid of encountering danger going out into the wild alone?"

"What do you know? Only by experiencing danger can one grow. How can Gu Han be compared to you?"

"Oh, come on. If you really want to grow, why not go to the Warrior Camp and make a name for yourself? Why hide here as a logistics soldier? In my opinion, Gu Han is just afraid of dying!"

"Those prey of his were probably prepared by his elder brothers beforehand. He just needs to drag them back to exchange for Logistics Points!"

This guess was quickly endorsed by most of the logistics soldiers.

To admit that Gu Chen was much stronger than them would be worse than killing them.

Compared to that, Gu Han only relied on his background to have so much prey, rather than his actual strength being greater than theirs.

This viewpoint was easier for them to accept.
