Chapter 1417. Returning to First
“It wasn’t a bad bargain, all things considered.” After trying out the armor for a bit, Han Sen grew rather fond of it. Its properties were right up his alley, in how it masked the user inside and obscured their lifeforce. Its defense-boosting was remarkable.
Geno core armor was also defined differently than beast soul armor, and if you wanted to, you could use a set of each at the same time.
“I should really get to first place again. Maybe someone else will want to make a trade with me, too,” Han Sen said to himself.
Before he returned, though, Han Sen took the time to plant the super spirit tree’s seed in the garden. He used a single lifedrop from the black crystal on the tree, and watched as it immediately sprouted and began to grow.
One lifedrop was the equivalent of one year of growth, and he wondered how long such a tree might take to fully develop and bear fruit.
The next day, Han Sen returned to the Geno Core Storage and challenged Ghost Eye. When the panther received the challenge invite, he declined it and told Han Sen, “I gave you the seed in order to achieve first place. Why would I hand over this lofty seat so soon?”
The panther had never planned to give it back to Han Sen at all. And he had even gone so far as to get in touch with other spirits who were willing to trade with him for the first position instead.
The panther received another challenger’s invite, which he accepted merrily.
It was a spirit that wished to buy his way to first place, too. The spirit was the sort with a fat wallet, and the panther was sure to walk away with wealth that would cover the losses he incurred to Han Sen, and then some.
