Chapter 509: Return

Proofreader: Arya

Gu Qing Shan sat on the bed looking at the War God UI.

Several lines of glowing text was on-screen, recording everything that had happened just now.

As soon as the card touched him, the War God System had already noticed.

In a split second, the [War God Skills] icon was triggered.

[You’ve touched a card]

[The card had used the following God’s Chosen Skill: Gift of a witch’s kiss]

[Gift of a witch’s kiss: A person kissed by this card will fall into a wonderful slumber for 3 days straight, only those who possess the same kissing techniques as the witch will be able to escape the dream]

[10,000 Soul Points is required to learn the technique]

[Would you like to learn the technique?]

[Special note: If you learn the witch’s kiss, the level of your kissing skills will automatically max out]

In the same split second, Gu Qing Shan managed to react.

He immediately decided to spend 10,000 Soul Points to learn the witch’s kiss.

That was why he was unaffected by this God’s Chosen Skill.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan was still sitting on the bed, complaining to the War God System: “Did you calculate it wrong or something? Even the Taiyi Sword Array I just learnt only cost 2000 Soul Points, why did a kissing technique cost 10,000 Soul Points?”

[Ting]!

The System responded: [Excellent kissing techniques allows you to conquer women over 10,000 times stronger than yourself, while the Taiyi Sword Array cannot]

Gu Qing Shan fell silent.

…That almost sounded like it made sense.

“But I don’t need to conquer any woman 10,000 times stronger than myself do I?” Gu Qing Shan didn’t get swept into the topic and retorted.

[If you regret it, you may use 100,000 for the System to unlearn the technique and once again fall asleep] the War God UI replied.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged.

Can’t even hold a damn conversation.

He looked towards Shannu.

Shannu’s eyes were a bit reddened.

“Are you feeling moved for that silly girl?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“She’s not silly, she’s only doing what’s good for you” Shannu couldn’t help but try and defend Su Xue Er.

Gu Qing Shan got a bit annoyed: “If two people recognize one another, then no matter the hardship or trial, they should be facing it together”

“Furthermore, she didn’t understand one thing”

“Which is?”

“There is no hardship that can stop her man!”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan stood up, he quickly went out.

Bonk!!!

A loud sound of impact.

He ran straight into an invisible wall and crouched down to hold his forehead.

“Her man was just stopped” Shannu told him sincerely.

While still holding his head, Gu Qing Shan checked the invisible barrier.

“What the heck is this!”

He asked, clicking his tongue.

“I forgot to tell you, when you hid your presence and pretended to sleep, Su Xue Er erected a few barriers to protect you” Shannu explained.

Gu Qing Shan tried putting his palm on the invisible barrier.

A few lines of glowing text showed up on the War God UI.

[The Binding Oath]

[The target of this card can only move around within an area of 5 meters, unable to leave]

[This is a soul-binding spell, effective range: 500 million km]

[Within its effective range, it’ll always be able to lock-on to your soul and maintain effectiveness]

[Note: You are already under the effects of this card, so it’s impossible to get out]

[Special Note: This is a spell card specially made by Lord Bloodcloak, with your current powers you are unable to destroy it]

Reading the skill description, Gu Qing Shan smirked: “So she did learn a few new tricks, unfortunately, she doesn’t know that I have a sword that can break all spells”

Shannu understood.

She flew back into Gu Qing Shan’s hand, turning into the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

A sword slash gleamed.

The sword passed through the invisible barrier like it passed through water.

Wherever the sword passed through, the barrier really was cut open.

But as soon as the sword passed, the barrier instantly repaired itself.

“…” Gu Qing Shan.

“…” Shannu.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword can cut through the barrier, but only enough for the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to pass through.

Gu Qing Shan himself could’t pass.

Gu Qing Shan let go of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and drew the Earth sword.

“Break open!”

Gu Qing Shan shouted as he swung the Earth sword at the barrier.

The Earth sword’s 86,370,000 tons of force hit the barrier and easily passed through.

The barrier itself didn’t block any attack.

It just didn’t allow Gu Qing Shan to go through.

Gu Qing Shan tried again with the Chao Yin sword, then with warp formations.

But the results were the same.

He couldn’t leave no matter what he tried.

Gu Qing Shan angrily grunted.

Su Xue Er already left.

If I don’t get out now, I’ll miss the call of the Bramble Birds.

There’s no way I can let Su Xue Er take on everything for me!

Gu Qing Shan was now a bit worried.

The three swords hovered in the air, silently watching as he paced back and forth inside the barrier.

The Chao Yin sword vibrated a bit in confusion.

“He’s troubled” Shannu explained.

“That’s right, he’s also annoyed” the Earth sword commented: “Having to pretend to sleep for his first kiss, he must be really regretting it right now”

The Chao Yin sword vibrated a bit more, seemingly chuckling.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and explained to the three swords: “I had no other choice, that girl is too stubborn, if I didn’t pretend to sleep, she wouldn’t have said what was on her mind”

“But you’re trapped here despite knowing the truth” the Earth sword spoke.

“Only for now” Gu Qing Shan said.

He thought for a bit, then looked at the skill description on the War God UI.

“The range of [The Binding Oath] is 500 million km?”

Gu Qing Shan realized something.

“If that’s the case, if I can traverse over 500 million km all at once, this spell might lose its effect”

“…500 million km…”

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

After a while, he suddenly asked: “System, when can I return to my original world?”

[Ting]!

The System responded: [You’ve completed Destiny Quest: Remain at the Justice Iron Fist Club]

[You may return to your original world at any time]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Oh yeah, every time I complete a Destiny Quest, I can already return to my original world.

This time, after having permission to stay at the Justice Iron Fist Club, I still haven’t returned only because I wanted to unlock the new function of the System.

Gu Qing Shan thought a bit more.

The distance from here to my original world is definitely over 500 million km.

Just like that, I’ll get out of [The Binding Oath].

The only problem is how to quickly return.

If I return too late, I won’t make it in time for the call of the Bramble Birds.

So I have to go back to Aboul Hotel…

Gu Qing Shan then remembered, every time he returned to his original world, he would be able to warp to the other world again after a certain period of time.

“System, how long do I have to stay in my original world to return here again?” he asked.

[One day]

It’ll take an entire day?

I won’t make it in time for the Bramble Bird’s call then.

Gu Qing Shan asked further without giving up: “Is there some way to reduce the amount of time I have to stay?”

[There are two methods]

“The first is?”

[The first method is to spend all your remaining Soul Points]

“The second?”

[The second, the closer you are to Aboul, the less time it takes to warp——- because the System won’t need to make the necessary preparations for long-distance warp]

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit.

My original world is outside the 900 million World Layers.

That is too far away

Too far!!!

Wait.

I have the Justice Iron Fist Club’s beacon, I can directly warp back to the Justice Iron Fist Club!

Since the Justice Iron Fist Club is closer to Aboul, the time it’ll take will decrease significantly.

Unless——

Kitty said she was able to transport anyone anywhere within the range of 300 million World Layers.

The only downside of that is that she won’t be able to pinpoint the exact location for the warp.

Then I’ll just have her randomly transport me, as long as she’s sending me in the direction of Aboul, I’ll be able to close the distance even more.

This should save a lot of time.

“The first method requires that I use up all my Soul Points?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

The System responded: [Correct, this is the rule]

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

Soul Points were the most powerful force he knew, the Tianma called it Divine power.

The Soul Points he had right now could be used for a lot of other things.

And Gu Qing Shan had a feeling.

If he was insufficiently prepared when answering the call of the Bramble Birds, he might be facing insurmountable despair.

“Alright, I choose the second method, bring me back” Gu Qing Shan decided.

He cracked his knuckles, preparing to return here as fast as possible.

A few lines of glowing text showed up on the War God UI.

[Order confirmed]

[Preparing to return]

Light enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

He disappeared from the room.
