It took Wang Han over an hour to calm himself down, convincing himself he'd think of a solution later; he couldn't change anything with his current strength. But this only made him more determined than ever to pursue one idea that kept popping into his head. 'I must become stronger! If I want to survive, I must become stronger, much stronger.' After composing himself, Wang Han spent several hours digging up essential information in various fields and identifying the best skills to practice before returning from his mental space. As soon as he opened his eyes, Wang Han headed straight for the spatial gateway and entered it with renewed determination in his eyes and without the slightest hesitation. In an instant, Wang Han was transported. As soon as he opened his eyes again, he found himself surrounded by trees and grass on all sides; he was still in the same forest. 'It seems the emperor wasn't lying to me. Well, he has nothing to gain from it after all.' Then Wang Han began heading straight back to his clan. The journey from where he'd been transported to Snake City took only about an hour and a half, fortunately, as he hadn't been transported too far from the cliff he'd fallen into. Upon entering the high stone-walled city gates without paying a single penny, Wang Han headed straight for his clan's headquarters, the second largest in the city after the Lu clan. He entered the clan leader's office, where he found his father working on some files until the father looked up at his entrance. "How are you, Dad? Have you gotten used to it after a month of dealing with these troublesome files?" Wang Han sat back in the chair opposite his father, relaxed, and asked with an almost sarcastic smile. "huphh, this is really annoying, and honestly, it's impossible to get used to. I'm starting to regret becoming clan leader." Wang Shu sighed dejectedly, his face showing his suffering, before his expression turned serious as he asked, "Alright, enough joking around. Have you dealt with Wang Kai?" Wang Han maintained his relaxed posture as he replied to his father nonchalantly, "Everything went perfectly. Don't worry, I got rid of that trash and threw it into the ravine." Then he stood up from his seat and turned toward the exit, bidding his father farewell. "I'm going to train for a bit. Goodbye." "Go. I expect good results from you in the clan competition. Don't let me down, my son." "Okay, okay, don't worry," Wang Han replied, opening the door and stepping out. His careless expression immediately turned serious as he thought, 'Good, I played it well. Now's not the time to tell Dad what I've got. I'll test it out first, then I'll see what to show and what to hide.' ... Inside the office, Wang Shu clasped his hands together with a slight smile, lost in thought as his son just left his office. 'This boy is hiding something. He's been more relaxed and careless in his answers than usual, as if he's trying to conceal something. Haha, you're still too young to play games with me, my boy.' 'But it's alright, let him do what he wants. He's not a child anymore. When he feels the need to tell me, he'll tell me himself what he's hiding.' ... Inside a large house, Wang Han sat cross-legged on his bed, his eyes closed, lost in thought: 'Let's experience the effects of this sacred technique. I'm so excited. The Sacred Beast Absorption Technique is the most suitable for me among the three Sacred Level Refinement Techniques in this library because its creator is the Beast Emperor himself, and therefore I have a complete set of accompanying and complementary techniques. I hope it won't disappoint me.' Then, Wang Han began absorbing Qi and circulating it through the energy pathways until it was purified of impurities before being introduced into his dantian, the usual cultivation method, but with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The day passed in this manner with continuous training until the next day, well into the afternoon—more than twenty hours had p
