Chapter 586

When Fang Yuan publicly requests the flying bear phantom Gu, Hei Lou Lan first objects to such a very rude request. The Gu is extremely easy to use and definitely has half-immortal battle strength. It was half beaten to death and cannot be used for some time, and its food, which he recalls as desolate beast flying bear flesh and blood, is something he must seek the tribe’s immortals to get. As holder of the ten extreme physique’s Great Strength True Martial Physique, he faces the threat of death and desperately needs a strength path Immortal Gu to become a Gu Immortal. Keeping the Gu by force would definitely make Wolf King his enemy, so he decides to give it to him in exchange for his strength. ^{ch. 586}

Sun Shi Han snickers that the promise of half the rewards does not cover the Immortal Gu. Fang Yuan releases his killing intent fully at him, saying an earlier lesson was not enough. Hei Lou Lan laughs that the promised fifty percent stands and adds ten percent for brother Shan Yin’s brilliant plan. Since the Immortal Gu is unique, he asks how Fang Yuan will compensate the remaining forty percent. The others echo him. Hei Lou Lan secretly laughs that Wolf King will eventually be captured by him. ^{ch. 586}

Seven days later, in the maze of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building’s seventh floor, ninetieth round, a wounded flying bear phantom faces its single enemy, Fang Yuan. Seven days earlier Hei Lou Lan’s band of experts had broken the final round of the fifth floor and won the Gu. Fang Yuan announced that he would compensate the remaining half of its worth. Hei Lou Lan eventually gave him the Gu. That night Fang Yuan borrowed resources from Hei Lou Lan and secretly made a contract with him. He exchanged for Gu worms and food in treasure yellow heaven, and on the sixth day the Gu was restored to health. On the seventh day he secretly tests it against his finalized killer move six arm heavenly zombie king. ^{ch. 586}

The Gu has half a flying bear’s battle strength but is no match for the move, and Fang Yuan is very satisfied. The move draws natural strength through borrow strength Gu and temporarily turns his body into a zombie’s, so recovery increases greatly, pain falls, and energy is near unlimited. It lasts only a short time. Exceeding that time may turn a Gu Master into a real zombie, a severity surpassing even the ten extreme physique’s disaster. ^{ch. 586}

Mo Yao’s will tells Fang Yuan that he has not fully unleashed the true power of the flying bear phantom Gu. Mo Yao explains that phantom path defends through phantom form up to rank five, while its Gu Immortals turn between phantom and solid at will to evade or strike. The Gu is a phantom path Immortal Gu, made by refining a killed desolate beast flying bear. Accompanying Gu like battle space Gu, grand chaotic dance Gu and five element bear skin Gu would make its battle strength surge greatly. Fang Yuan recalls that battle space Gu went to Hei Lou Lan after the final round and the rest to others. He partly comprehends that, seen from another angle, complementing the Gu with other Gu worms is a killer move. Mo Yao agrees completely. ^{ch. 586}

Mo Yao adds that only phantom path Gu worms truly complement it, and a single turn phantom Gu would let it turn from solid to phantom form and evade all attacks. Fang Yuan’s heart shakes uncontrollably, as he can completely imagine an extremely troublesome enemy and, to a degree, a true qualitative change. Mo Yao offers details of three phantom path inheritances, one likely a phantom path Gu Immortal inheritance, if he returns Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House properly. Fang Yuan replies plainly that they will talk later. He has never removed his alertness towards Mo Yao, and still feels a sense of danger although no hostile intention shows. ^{ch. 586}
