Ice Flower, Joining the Ganwu Dojo

[You successfully completed the assessment after handing over 10 Ice Prisms.]

[The staff informed you to stay behind, as a big shot wanted to summon you. You accepted gladly, assuming it was because you had taken that mysterious crystal.]

[However, you overlooked a very important point.]

[Cultivating plant life requires immense resources, and your background is non-existent in the eyes of the Universe Mercenary Alliance. How could an ordinary person possibly cultivate so many?]

"I'm about to die," Han Han said.

[You met the Immortal Guna.]

[Guna saw the Silver Token on you at a glance and forcibly extracted it from your body. At the same time, you felt your life imprint being forcibly destroyed.]

[You were incredibly furious, but in the face of an Immortal God, your anger seemed so laughable.]

[You saw a look of joy on Guna's face. Even though everything belonged to you, you were well aware that an Immortal God would face no punishment for killing you.]

[Before you died, Guna told you.]

[The mysterious crystal is called Ice Flower, a treasure capable of improving one's affinity with the laws. It was originally intended for him to cultivate his descendants. If not for the fact that the interests involved were too great, he might have even taken you as a disciple or helped you once.]

[After speaking, without waiting for your reply, Guna's eyes narrowed, and he destroyed your consciousness directly.]

[You died.]

[This simulation has ended.]

"Ice Flower! Improving law affinity!"

Han Han felt no distress over his simulated death, only moved by the Ice Flower. He hurriedly looked at the rating and options, hoping to be able to choose the Ice Flower.

[Rating: E-99]

[You, who obtained the treasure Ice Flower, could have further improved your talent, but unfortunately, you ignored the fact that your background is non-existent in front of the strong.]

[You may choose two of the following options.]

[1: Universe Rank Level 1 realm]

[2: Over 15 years of insights (including blade technique insights)]

[3: A C5-Rank Spaceship]

[4: 182 Ice Prisms]

[5: A herd of Ice Prism Beasts]

[6: 28 billion Cuilang Coins]

[7: One Ice Flower]

"Choose six and seven," Han Han said without hesitation.

He still needed to exploit the simulation loop to choose the Ice Flower, so how could he choose to break through to the Universe Rank? As for the others, they were far less important than 28 billion Cuilang Coins at the moment.

[Rewards distributed.]

Inside the System Space, an ice-blue crystal appeared.

Han Han immediately entered the depths of his manor, then entered the Micro World. This deep area had no instruments or equipment; it was a space he had specifically set aside.

With a thought, the Ice Flower appeared.

"Hum~"

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the Gold Wood Grass surfaced on its own to protect Han Han.

"Ice Flower!"

Han Han looked at the crystal with excitement.

"Things that can improve law affinity are already extremely precious, and this was something Guna used to cultivate his descendants. Plus, since this was a facility set up by the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the 'descendant' mentioned is likely some genius from the Universe Mercenary Alliance. I'm afraid this isn't just an ordinary enhancement treasure."

"But... how do I use it?"

He couldn't find any information on the Virtual Universe, likely because his clearance level was simply too low.

Han Han carefully observed the aura of the Ice Flower, but in the end, he didn't dare to use it directly. "It's better to wait for my simulated self to test the waters."

"Time to start training."

He wasn't someone who only relied on simulations; he could still practice diligently in reality.

After all, the two did not interfere with each other. The stronger the accumulation before a simulation, the more powerful one would be within the simulation, and the further one could go, which in turn increased the chances of getting a high rating after the simulation.

Take this time, for example.

If Han Han hadn't waited until he obtained the Spirit Silk Grass seeds to start the simulation, he definitely wouldn't have been able to obtain the Ice Flower in the end.

Three days later.

Han Han felt it was necessary to join a faction, specifically the Ganwu Dojo. Within the territory of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, this definitely counted as a top-tier faction.

Moreover, the Ganwu Dojo had few restrictions; for a Planetary Rank individual, one could join simply by paying the fee.

"It's fortunate that Cui'en Planet isn't bad and has a Ganwu Dojo branch for teaching, so I don't have to run off to other places."

Walking into the Ganwu Dojo felt like entering a city within a city.

"To think there's actually a One-Leaf Ganwu Member here." Han Han looked at the statue of a human powerhouse carved at the main entrance; he wore a deep purple battle robe with a single gold leaf on the cuff.

A One-Leaf Ganwu Member possessed strength at least at the Universe Rank.

"How rare. To think a place like Cui'en Planet would have a Ganwu Member at its dojo; it seems my luck is quite good." Han Han smiled and walked inside.

The Ganwu Dojo offered almost open-style instruction and did not prohibit residents from entering, so Han Han quickly arrived at the registration desk.

"I'm here to register."

Han Han spoke to the white-haired old man in front of him, who was currently sizing him up.

"Register?"

The moment the old man spoke, a light screen appeared beside him, displaying Han Han's name, nationality, strength, and other details.

Han Han didn't care about this in the slightest.

Even if they knew he was of slave origin here, so what? The Ganwu Dojo simply didn't care. For instance, if he had a high-level account with the Universe Galaxy Bank, he would dare to sell Locke Divine Water directly.

There was no other reason.

To these major powers, such trivial matters were not worth violating the rules they had set themselves.

"Your name is Han Han?"

The old man nodded slightly. "A Planetary Rank level nine martial artist, nationality of the Cuilang Empire. Hmm, pay the 800 Cuilang Coin registration fee, and you will need to pay 10 Cuilang Coins every year thereafter."

In this regard, it was exactly the same as the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Understood."

Han Han took out 1,000 Cuilang Coins and said, "This is for the registration fee and 20 years of dues."

"Mm."

The old man took them and quickly processed the paperwork. Since Han Han already held the status of a Ganwu Universe Kingdom citizen, the process was extremely swift and completed in just a few minutes.

"I'm afraid many of the Planetary Rank students are just here from various noble families to get some credentials."

Walking through the plaza, Han Han observed the other students.

Some were indeed sparring earnestly, but many more seemed to be... playing around, deliberately showing off something or other.

"Time to go."

Han Han returned to his manor. Since he had registered, he could enjoy the various teachings of the Ganwu Dojo through the Virtual Universe, so there was no need to go there in person.

After returning, Han Han immediately entered the Virtual Universe.

After teleporting to the designated area for the Ganwu Dojo, Han Han searched for tutorials on the Rotten Wood Blade.

The Rotten Wood Blade was not some exclusive secret technique, otherwise, it wouldn't be sold at a fixed price, and he found the instructional video quite easily.

"100,000 Cuilang Coins for one viewing; this money is truly easy to earn."

Han Han paid with a wince, and then he was directly transported into the scene within the video, where a figure was simulated and began to demonstrate the first layer of the Rotten Wood Blade technique.

"But there is a reason for the high price."

Observing it up close and realistically was far better than just watching a video.

His past self in the simulation had been very backward in his thinking, not even choosing to join a power like the Ganwu Dojo. If nothing else, at least learning public secret techniques would have been much more convenient.

Just like that, Han Han remained immersed in the comprehension of the Rotten Wood Blade, and before he knew it, his simulation attempts had refreshed.
