Chapter 1029: Chapter 1028: Basic Training Complete Chapter 1029: Chapter 1028: Basic Training Complete âShapingâ took one and a half months.
Next, he would learn the techniques related to the âBook of Dead Spirit (Leg Manuscript)â.
Time also passed very quickly.
On a technical level, Han Dong frequently sought advice from the Stone Bone Toad⊠The âexperiential insightsâ from a Mythic Body that werenât available in books were beneficial for Han Dongâs rapid understanding.
In the blink of an eye.
The three months of stay allotted at NâKai had come to an end.
Han Dongâs legs remained within the âhuman category,â rather than robust and curved with webbed toad legs, lines that shimmered with the âStarlight Voidâ pattern spread across the surface of his legs.
âYour legs are very special⊠In just one and a half months, you have learned the basic Toad Step technique, already stronger than many Ancestor Bodies,â the Stone Bone Toad said in an understatement; Han Dongâs learning speed was even faster than himself in some respects.
Three months of cohabitation in the stone temple.
The initial rejection and indifferent attitude of Stone Bone Toad had changed as well.
It was mainly because the talents and special traits Han Dong displayed were so exaggerated, surpassing any of the same kind the Great Toad had seen, and to a certain extent, could be mentioned in the same breath as the once Toad Ancestor.
âThank you for your guidance over this period, Elder Stone Bone. If thereâs a chance, weâll meet again.â
After bidding farewell to Stone Bone, the pressure in his heart was likewise eased⊠Staying with such a rigid Mythic Body was indeed very stressful.
It was just as Han Dong stepped out of the stone temple.
He shot forward with acceleration!
Whoosh⊠the sound of the air tearing continuously resounded by his ears.
The running speed granted by his new legs was incredibly fast.
Jump!
With a lateral leap, Han Dong carried his body directly over twenty meters into the air.
Owing to the special structure of his feet and the Voidâs suction, he could easily adhere to walls, allowing Han Dong to run at a 90° angle vertically between cliffs.
Han Dong, making full use of his legâs powers, completely immersed himself in the sensation of exhilaration.
But the other inhabitants of The Dark Canyon didnât see it that way⊠In their eyes, all they saw was a ragged and smelly âvagrantâ with clothes stained with mold, running madly through the canyon as if he had some kind of mental abnormality.
Han Dong was of course aware of this.
Before meeting the Toad Ancestor, he decided to return to the hotel to rest a bit.
âIâve been staying in the stone temple for three months; Miss Mary must be looking for me everywhere, right?â
However, when Han Dong returned to the inn, there were no missing person notices, and the proprietor greeted him as usual.
Just as Han Dong returned to his original room.
A playful, feminine giggle came from the bathroom⊠Through the frosted glass door, one could barely make out several Octopus Tentacles winding around two distinctive large legs, sliding back and forth.
Han Dongâs return naturally also attracted attention in the bathroom.
âWho is it!â
The glass door was slammed open in an instant.
A foot kicked out towards Han Dong⊠Bang! The entire building shook with it, and the meaty balloons that floated the hotel in the air also swayed slightly.
Han Dong turned his head just in time to dodge the kick.
The wall beside his face was kicked into a dent dozens of centimeters deep, spreading out in a circular pattern⊠The kick was made by a fair leg, with droplets the size of beans clearly visible on its surface.
Following the thigh upward, there stood a tall woman wrapped in a bath towel.
Her damp curly hair hung in front of her face, as Maritzis glared at Han Dong with an aggressive expression.
Behind her, Nicole clung obediently, resting her head on Maritzisâs shoulder, looking curiously at the intruder.
âHow dare such a filthy vagrant barge into the dwelling of this Lord, youâre seeking death!â
âMiss Mary, itâs meâŠâ
Han Dong quickly brushed his hair drenched in dirty water aside, revealing a face full of warm smiles.
âYou dare to disguise! How could my mating partner have such a sloppy appearance⊠Die!â
Because Han Dong had stayed in the stone temple for too long, his original scent was mostly masked by the stone temple, and practicing Toad Step had added a scent of toad-kind⊠which led to his mistaken identification.
Another kick came.
âCount!â
Primitive blood swirling around his right arm, Han Dong raised his hand to firmly receive the kick.
Crack!
He firmly caught the moist sole, which just so happened to hover right in front of Han Dongâs face.
His gaze followed the horizontally kicked leg, almost catching a glimpse of the scene beneath the edge of the bath towel.
âMiss Mary, he is truly the master! I can feel the power of the contract,â Nicole finally caught on, hurriedly tugging on Maryâs shoulder.
With her attack blocked, Mary also realized she had made a mistake.
âHm? Nicholas, it really is you⊠Why have you become so smelly, and even your scent has changed a lot? Go take a bath right away, you look just like a Dirty Water Toad from the lowest levels of NâKai, utterly filthy!â
âIsnât that what Iâm doing, coming back to bathe?â
Han Dong bypassed them and entered the bathroom.
Into the bathtub water that the two ladies had used, he completely submerged his body⊠Soon, the natural pool water turned pitch black.
It took three water changes to thoroughly clean himself.
Outside the bathroom door, Maryâs figure paced back and forth, seemingly hesitant about whether to say something or not.
About ten minutes passed, and a husky voice came through, âIâm sorry⊠I mistook you for someone else just now.â
âItâs okay, after I finish bathing, weâll head to London City.â
âOh⊠Where have you been these three months? Nicole and I searched for you for a while, and we even inquired with Toad Cityâs intelligence department about you, but there was no information.
However, thanks to the Master-Servant Relationship Nicole established with you, we were sure you were in Toad City, so we didnât continue searching.â
âI stayed in the stone temple for three months⊠Otherwise, I wouldnât even have a place to bathe.â
âThe Toad Ancestorâs stone temple?â
âYes⊠I wanted to find a quiet place to read and study, so I thought of the stone temple.â
âStone Bone Toad is very temperamental, even I canât get in⊠How did you manage to enter?â
âAfter taking a beating, I got in.
Stone Bone Toad indeed has a bad temper, but heâs a pretty nice guy. If it werenât for Stone Bone, my learning and understanding wouldnât have improved as quickly.â
âYou really arenât afraid of death⊠I once heard of someone who tried to sneak into the stone temple to stealthily Watching the Wall and was punched to death by Stone Bone Toad. There are no fewer than ten demons that died by his hands, and the Toad Ancestor didnât even hold him accountable.â
At this point.
Mary pushed the door open and entered the bathroom.
Her gaze did not wander elsewhere, locked directly onto Han Dongâs leg.
âWhat is this!?â
Without any reservation.
Mary Maritzis knelt outside the bathtub, lifting one of Han Dongâs legs, closely examining the surfaceâs starlight patterns.
Then, a long and smooth tongue extended out.
It licked intimately across the surface of Han Dongâs leg, using such an action to probe its internal structure.
The slippery and somewhat ticklish feel of the toadâs tongue made Han Dong nearly unable to bear it.
As Mary licked, she looked up at Han Dong with surprised eyes, âYour leg⊠Itâs so perfect!â
âUh⊠Alright then.â
Han Dong did not say much more, letting Mary continue to lick.
After all, this was the Royal City of Toad City, and human rules couldnât be applied here⊠Anyway, Mary could do as she pleased, and Han Dong didnât mind whatever it was.
