I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 267 - 166: Han Zhan Rakes in Wealth, The More the Merrier

That night.

When Han Zhan returned from Shang Academy to his residence, Nuannuan was already at the door, eagerly looking out.

As soon as she saw Han Zhan's figure, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, as if she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Zhan!"

Nuannuan walked up, familiarly took Han Zhan by the arm, and led him inside the house.

"Hurry up and get something to eat, I've already cooked the meal."

"You can cook?"

Han Zhan looked at Nuannuan in surprise.

Nuannuan laughed foolishly twice, as if surprising Han Zhan was something to be proud of.

The two walked to the dining table while talking, and Han Zhan was stunned when he saw the four soups and one dish on the table.

"This…"

"Epimedium and Black Bean Soup, Sea Cucumber and Goji Soup, Cinnamon and Black Chicken with Yam and Walnut Soup, Lily and Turtle Soup, and Stir-fried Oysters with Chives?"

Listening to the names of the dishes listed by Nuannuan, Han Zhan had a sense of what day it was today.

"What's this for?"

"To nourish, to give a little boost?" Nuannuan said shyly, lowering her head slightly and poking her fingers together.

"I saw Brother Zhan working hard during the day, so you need to nourish your body."

"These ingredients are specially provided from the Anti-Xia Alliance's warehouse for core members, with a free selection list. I chose some from the list."

Han Zhan's mouth twitched twice.

How was I working hard during the day? How come I didn't know? You're slandering me!

Forget it, since it's already cooked, it's also a kind gesture from her, can't waste food.

It smells so good!

Han Zhan no longer insisted, and after sitting down at the dining table, started eating heartily.

Gotta say, Nuannuan's cooking skills are unexpectedly good, and the taste was quite pleasant.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they tacitly went to the training ground to prepare for today's mysterious shadow.

After a while, when the evening completely enveloped Fulong City.

In the center of the training ground, a mass of black mist appeared out of thin air, then fell down, condensing on the ground into the shape of a mysterious shadow.

"It's still the Tier Six Peak spiritual power fluctuation, no change." Han Zhan quickly sensed it.

The mysterious shadow still held a long sword in its hand, the familiar appearance and familiar strike.

The dark sword shadow cut through the dim night.

The air compressed by the swift sword swing made a wailing "woo" sound, exploding in Han Zhan's ear.

The reflexes honed by battling the mysterious shadow for a long time made Han Zhan raise his sword in front of his chest.

But he was struck by a beam of black light on the sword, which collided with his chest, causing him to stagger back a few steps.

"The mysterious shadow's sword techniques have changed!" Han Zhan, hit by this sword, suddenly realized with great surprise.

The mysterious shadow's sword techniques had not just simply changed.

Han Zhan and the mysterious shadow engaged purely in sword techniques as they did yesterday, and after a moment, the sword cuts on his body were more than the combined total of the past few days!

"The mysterious shadow has optimized its sword techniques and completely broke through the sword skills that Xiao Jin taught me."

"The moves it's using now completely suppress my sword techniques!"

When Han Zhan realized this, he sullenly thought of another point.

Looks like I'm in for another all-nighter tonight.

...

Gongyang Jin had been getting up very early recently.

He left Wofeng Palace as soon as dawn broke.

Chen Tao, who liked to hide in the shadows, was sent away yesterday, left Fulong City to deal with matters related to the alien race.

When Gongyang Jin thought of this, his mood became even happier.

Even his steps were light and carefree.

If anyone saw Gongyang Jin like this, they'd certainly be so shocked their jaw would drop and their eyes would bulge out.

When Gongyang Jin arrived at Han Zhan's residence, he familiarly went up to the second floor and pushed open Han Zhan's bedroom door to enter.

Today she arrived an hour early on purpose.

But when Gongyang Jin reached Han Zhan's side, she saw that he had dark circles under his eyes and was looking at her weakly.

"You pulled another all-nighter?"

"The shadow's sword techniques have been upgraded and optimized; it seems our daytime battle today will need a new location."

Seeing Gongyang Jin, Han Zhan seemed to have found his savior.

I may not beat you, my sword skills aren't as good as yours, but I have a wife, and she's a genius with top-tier talent in sword dao!

Hehe!

Thinking of this lifted Han Zhan's spirits, suffering from the mysterious shadow's sword dao for an entire night.

As Gongyang Jin, Han Zhan's partner, observed the changes in his expression, she clearly guessed his thoughts, and she cast an annoyed glance at Han Zhan.

The thick-skinned Han Zhan immediately held Gongyang Jin's hand forcibly, leading her to the training ground.

At this time, Nuannuan, who stayed up all night with Han Zhan, had just finished bathing and was planning on catching up on sleep.

As she passed by the door, she seemed to see two figures walking together side by side.

Nuannuan was in a daze for a moment, and the two figures disappeared.

She yawned widely and talked to herself, "I must be so tired that I'm hallucinating."

"Why do I keep seeing Gongyang Jin and Brother Zhan together?"

"Strange, why do I say 'again'?"

...

Han Zhan arrived at Shang Academy just in the nick of time again.

After battling with Gongyang Jin, he swept away the gloom in his heart and felt much more refreshed.

Gongyang Jin not only broke the new sword techniques the mysterious shadow used yesterday but also continued using "brutal enlightenment" to further teach Han Zhan.

Perfectly demonstrating what it means to "you eat yours, I eat mine."

There were a lot more students inside Shang Academy today, making it bustling.

When these students saw Han Zhan walking into Shang Academy, they all enthusiastically surrounded him as if on adrenaline. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Lord Geng Jiu! To congratulate you on assuming your new position, our Situ Family has sent me to present a small gift!"

"Dean Geng Jiu! And we, the Qin Family, have also prepared a congratulatory gift to celebrate you becoming the new dean of Shang Academy!"

"Lord Geng Jiu, and we, the Wen Family, the Wen Family also likewise…"

Once someone started, the scene became chaotic.

Voices talking all at once, a chaotic mess like a marketplace.

"Silence!" Han Zhan raised his voice and shouted, finally quieting the students.

Looking at these students holding large bags and small packages of "gifts," his smile was unreserved.

"Good, very good, it seems you and your families behind you are all sensible."

"It looks like you all took my words to heart yesterday, that's great!"

"In that case, I can't reject your kind intentions."

Saying this, Han Zhan took out a blank scroll from beside him, pressing it against the wall and spreading it out.

While the students were puzzled about what he intended to do, they saw Han Zhan raise a brush and write with a flourish on the blank scroll.

"From today onwards, we'll implement a points-buying system. Anyone purchasing points can make it onto this list, and those who rank at the top can gain special awakening qualifications!"

"One hundred gold coins per point, no age discrimination!"

"Han Zhan is gathering wealth, the more the better!"
