Chapter 96 – Defects
When Han Li was actually maneuvering the gray light, he discovered that although the gray light transformed into the talisman was incredibly sharp and could cut through almost nothing, and could fly up to attack the enemy with his gestures, there were still some limitations to its execution.
First of all, driving this gray light was simply too costly in terms of mana!
Someone like Han Li, who had cultivated the Evergreen Gong to the eighth layer, could use the full version of the Fire Bomb Art enough to continuously cast it hundreds of times. But when driving the gray light, the mana could only last for a short quarter of an hour before it was gone.
Thinking about it now, it wasn’t that the Golden Light Superior didn’t want to use the Gray Mantle right from the start, but simply that his mana was too limited, and I’m afraid that the amount of time he was able to drive this talisman was pitifully small.
This also explained why Han Li had suffered such weak resistance when he had seized this item in the first place. The other party had likely used up most of their mana when they had driven the gray aura earlier, and then encountering Han Li, a raw force whose mana was originally far superior to his, the gnome naturally collapsed, and was easily won over.
On top of that, another drawback of this gray light was that there was a certain limit to the distance it could fly up to injure someone. The gray light could only be manipulated freely within twenty feet of Han Li’s center, and after leaving this range, it would be sluggish and rigid, sometimes malfunctioning. When flying out beyond thirty feet, the gray light would completely change back to its original form and fall down.
If the above two shortcomings were to be said, Han Li believed that they should gradually improve as his magic power refined. Then the last problem was the fatal flaw of the talisman itself.
After using the talisman for a few times, Han Li realized that the small gray sword drawn on the talisman paper was emitting a cold light that was slowly becoming weaker as the number of times the talisman was used increased, and it seemed that its lifespan was gradually shortening. That is to say, this talisman has a certain number of times of use and time limit, when its number of times used up, that is, this talisman spirit is lost, end of life day.
This was also one of the reasons why Han Li had stopped practicing immediately after he had slightly learned to drive the gray light. After all, he still wanted to save such a powerful item for a critical moment before using it, and perhaps this item would save his life in some future crisis.
By the same token, Han Li thought that the golden talisman that could transform into a golden light shield should have the same restriction, only that he didn’t know the recipe for using it for the time being, so he had to hide it properly for later use.
As for that triangular token and that Qin Clan genealogy, Han Li also did his research while resting, but unfortunately there was nothing to be gained.
Thus on the fifth day, Han Li had just taken off the sign of the missing person when Li Feiyu bumbled in, and as soon as he saw Han Li, he recounted the rumors of the other party being demonized to him.
These gossips made Han Li cry and laugh, and he could only look at Li Feiyu with a stern face and no good humor, watching the other party make fun of himself in a dignified manner.
Li Feiyu finally stopped laughing as he slowly collected his smile and began to say to Han Li in a solemn tone, “I’m sure you should be able to guess a few of the reasons why I came here!”
”Hmm! Isn’t it just that those few big shots were worried about me and asked you to probe me!” Han Li said indifferently and faintly.
”Heh heh! It’s good that you know.” Li Feiyu let out a long breath as if he was burdened with a heavy burden.
”However, how do you intend to let this good friend of mine deliver to those fellows, huh? You know, in order to buy me off, they have already promised to correct me, the Vice Master of the Outer Blade Hall.” Li Feiyu then playfully smiled again.
Han Li frowned and thought for a moment before softly muttering to himself:
”It seems like they won’t be at ease until they meet up with those people from the Wang Da Clan Master and make some things clear.”
”How about this! You go back and tell the Wang Sect Master that tomorrow at noon, I will personally go to Sunset Peak to meet him, so he doesn’t have to be anxious.” Han Li said with a smile.
”Good! With your words, I can deliver.” Li Feiyu shrugged with a noncommittal look.
Next, Han Li and Li Feiyu bantered for a while, and even Han Li performed the “Fire Bomb Technique” up close and personal to give this close friend an eye-opening experience, making him envious for a long time.
Not long afterward, Li Feiyu excused himself and left the valley, going back to Wang Jiechu and the others to deliver his orders.
Han Li stood in the doorway of the house, looking at Li Feiyu’s distant back, lost in thought for half a day, suddenly he smiled mysteriously, and then looked very happy to enter the house and close the door.
The next morning, the sky just dawned, Han Li unknowingly went up Sunset Peak, and then quietly sneaked into the Wang Sect Master’s room.
When Wang Jiechu woke up and saw the figure standing straight in front of his bed, his face became as ugly as it could be. However, he still managed to squeeze out some smiles and asked in a somewhat unnatural manner, ”How did Dr. Han come, I hope you’ll forgive me for not welcoming him from afar! However, wasn’t it said that we would meet only at noon, why did Your Excellency come so early?”
Han Li coldly glanced at Sect Master Wang, a glance that caused Wang Jiechu’s chilling hairs to stand on end and his face to be as unpleasant as if he had been cut by a knife.
Han Li couldn’t help but feel a bit smug in his heart when he saw the other party show a hint of panic. He looked at the Wang Sect Master’s glance, which was a special effect only after applying the “Heavenly Eyes Technique”, which was a new use of the “Heavenly Eyes Technique” that he had discovered only after researching it the other day, and which could be used to cause a mental shock to ordinary people, causing them to panic, similar to the “Soul Regeneration Technique” that was rumored to be the same as the “Soul Regeneration Technique” that had been passed down in the Jianghu Lake. It is somewhat similar to the “Soul Retrieving Art” that is rumored in the jianghu.
”It’s nothing, I just suddenly feel that if we come in the morning, we might be a bit more clear-headed and won’t do anything to make each other unhappy.” Han Li could not see the slightest expression on his face, but his tone seemed a bit unkind.
