I Am Overlord

Chapter 531: Battle Armor Weighing a Million Catty

Ugly Gambler was not a man of his word. He had promised that after the end of the Devil Domain expedition, Xiang Shaoyun would get the antidote. Instead, he had given three years worth of partial antidotes. It would seem like he was intending to keep having Xiang Shaoyun under his control.

Xiang Shaoyun accepted the antidote and said grudgingly, "Lord, is this really proper?"

"I know what you have in mind, but you're not qualified to talk terms with me," said Ugly Gambler nonchalantly.

With a helpless look, Xiang Shaoyun replied, "Fine. But this is a hard and dangerous mission. You can't let me do it without giving me any benefits, right?"

Ugly Gambler sank into thought momentarily before taking out an item and tossing it over, "Here, a battle armor. It will be sufficient to protect your life."

A badly damaged armor appeared before Xiang Shaoyun. He felt like crying when he saw it. Sure, the armor could still be worn, but it was so damaged even a blind man could see that it was a piece of useless equipment.

The Ugly Gambler has actually given me such a terrible piece of armor? How stingy is he?

Ugly Gambler could see the gloominess in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes. He said, "Don't look down on this armor. Wearing it, not even the attack of a Soul Foundation Realm cultivator can harm you."

"Lord, do you think you're lying to a three-year-old kid?" Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but to question Ugly Gambler's statement.

"Huh? You really don't want it? Fine, I'll give you an undamaged armor then," said Ugly Gambler as a shiny armor appeared in his hand.

The difference between the two armors was akin to heaven and earth. There was no comparing the two. But for some reason, Xiang Shaoyun had a feeling Ugly Gambler placed more importance on that badly damaged armor. At that thought, he tried lifting the armor curiously. To his surprise, the armor was exceedingly heavy, and even he was only able to lift it after exerting a great amount of effort.

"T-this armor is at least 500,000 catty in weight," exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun.

When he was at the Transformation Realm, he was already capable of lifting items weighing tens of thousands of catty. Now that he was at the Skysoar Realm, a weight of 500,000 catty was nothing for him. But it was clear this armor had a weight surpassing 500,000 catty. That made it obvious it was no regular armor. historical

"To be precise, it has a weight of one million catty," said Ugly Gambler.

"One million catty?" Xiang Shaoyun was overwhelmed with shock. He would understand if a tiny mountain had this weight, but this broken armor was actually that heavy as well? That was hard to believe.

"Your strength right now is decent, but you still have a lot of room for improvement. As long as you wear this armor everyday, by the time you get used to its weight, your combat prowess would have increased by at least 50 percent," said Ugly Gambler. "So do you want this pretty sovereign armor or the broken armor?"

"Uh, can I have both?" Xiang Shaoyun asked after some hesitation.

Ugly Gambler's face fell as he said, "No."

"Lord, you are wise and brilliant, handsome and heroic, a person of immense fortune, the gambler who never loses, a divine gambler. Would someone like you care about these useless items? That is not the kind of stinginess someone with your exalted status should have," fawned Xiang Shaoyun.

Ugly Gambler felt like he was in cloud nine hearing the flattering words to the point he slightly lost his bearing. He then tossed the sovereign armor over as well.

Only after Xiang Shaoyun happily wore the broken armor and stowed the sovereign armor did Ugly Gambler wake up from his bliss. He grumbled, "You are too wily."

However, giving away two armors really wasn't a big deal for him. It was more important for Xiang Shaoyun to discover the divine site. That was his main focus. He believed that Xiang Shaoyun would do as told. Otherwise, there was no way Xiang Shaoyun could keep his life. It was curious what expression Ugly Gambler would have if he knew that Xiang Shaoyun had long cured himself of the poison.

"Alright, you have been rewarded. Remember to work hard. If you can get the location of the divine site's entrance, you can get even more benefits," said Ugly Gambler before he prepared to leave.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly called out, "How should I notify you after finding it?"

"Don't worry. I will visit you occasionally," said Ugly Gambler before vanishing from the hall.

After Ugly Gambler left, a smirk appeared on Xiang Shaoyun's face as he thought, Old man, you want to control me? Not so easy!

He then patted his armor and started walking around. When he took the first step, he felt like his legs had become exceedingly heavy, causing him extreme discomfort. The weight of the armor gave him a pressure comparable to the hundredfold gravity room he had been in before. Even walking was hard, to say nothing of flying. Of course, if he erupted with his full power, he could still forcefully fly, but that would consume a massive amount of energy.

Instead of turning anxious, he was overjoyed. "This armor is heavy, but it is perfect for me. Perhaps I can use it to temper my speed and further stabilize my foundation."

He then sat down on the throne and called Du Xuanhao over. When Du Xuanhao arrived, Han Pojun was actually by his side.

"Big Brother Han, I thought you were supposed to be in a seclusion?" asked Xiang Shaoyun. After obtaining the icesouls heart, it was logical that Han Pojun would have gone into seclusion to try to enter the Soul Foundation Realm.

"I don't want to hide this. My initial plan was to return to the clan and enter seclusion there. But since there is also a suitable place for me to enter seclusion here, I decided to stay. I doubt you would mind me staying here a little bit longer, right?" said Han Pojun.

"You are being too polite, Big Brother Han. It will be our honor to host you while you break through," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

"Thank you!" said Han Pojun. "This time I'm here to request a favor. I hope you can agree, Young Master Xiang."

"What is it?" Xiang Shaoyun had a guess what Han Pojun was about to say, but he still feigned ignorance.

"What do you think about Han Qianwei and Han Xuewei, Young Master Xiang?" Han Pojun asked.

"They are not bad," Xiang Shaoyun answered casually.

"Who do you think is the better of the two? I mean, which of the two do you prefer?" Han Pojun continued.

"Big Brother Han, just say what you have in mind. Do you want me to take one of them with me to the Dragon Phoenix Academy?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

Han Pojun laughed dryly and said, "Hah, Young Master Xiang is wise. Yes, that's what I have in mind. I hope you can give them a chance."
