Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 88: Luo Han (1) (Bonus P.S)

Luo Han was a child who grew up in the slums. His talent was amazing. Amazing as in the sense that he awakened Qi at the age of ten. It was a marvelous achievement given the world he was in. He was on par with the talents of the world that got the treatment of kings when they awakened at that early age.

However, the problem for Luo Han was where he was born. He was born in the slums and the slum was ruled by many nasty gangs who snuffed him out before he could recognize his talents. He was suppressed, tortured, and forced to work for the people of this world.

He was used, abused, and thrown around until he offended someone of a very high rank and he was thrown in a dungeon cell where he was starved to the point his bones could be seen. One day, he lost himself and when he came to, he saw a half-eaten corpse, his hands bloodied and a metallic taste in his mouth.

However, the scene that would have been traumatizing for others, was somehow ecstatic to Luo Han. And that wasn't all, he felt something stir inside of him. Something that brought him power. His Qi reacted. So to confirm the experiment, he decided to eat more and finish the rest of the corpse. However, the pit inside of him wasn't satisfied, he wanted more.

So he ate more. The entire dungeon that was run by the gang, all of it was eaten that day.

Luo Han escaped from the dungeon while eradicating the gang and many others in his way. However, he reached his limit like every cultivator. A bottleneck he couldn't overcome no matter how much he ate. And with the police on his tail, he couldn't eat freely either.

He had been stuck in the realm of Qi empowerment realm for three years now. Still, being in the third realm of the Qi training at the age of twenty-five, it was an achievement no one could dismiss.

Then, a man found him, a man by the name of Bei Tian. He promised him the police off his tail and a steady supply of food to satisfy his cravings. Luo Han agreed, and he became the hidden guard dog of the Tian family. He still couldn't overcome his bottleneck and all he could do was be the king of the small world he was in for now.

He still made some mistakes, such as eating some employees, some guards, and such. Some people that even the Tian family had a hard time covering up. He was under the radar so he couldn't eat anymore.

However, today, a prey had come to him of his own volition. To have the honor of being eaten by him and becoming a part of his power. Enhancing his power even though by a very small amount.

Or at least that was how it should have been but such a simply weak mortal was giving him so much trouble. Somehow, the mortal had managed to inflict great damage on him. Not only that, the mortal had also destroyed the compound causing millions of damage, and managed to escape him and trap him in a forest.

But that wasn't what the problem was. If it had been a normal mortal, Luo Han would have been able to detect him right away but at that moment, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't locate his target. It was as if his target had completely disappeared. There were small rustlings of leaves but that earned no proof to Luo Han.

He took another step and felt something below his feet. He lowered his head confusingly only to see he had stepped on something metallic. He raised his feet to check only to be blown away by a blast. He was thrown away a few feet and he received no damage. He stood up to check his surroundings but found nothing.

'There are traps.' He inwardly thought as he took another careful step. He was now very careful with where he was stepping when he once again heard rustling from his side. He turned only to see the helmet man with a rifle in his hand. The helmet man opened fire but Luo Han didn't wait around, he also shot at his target without any regard for the bullets.

However, he was mistaken. He felt something touch his Qi barrier and when he stopped to check, another explosion occurred. Once again, he was unharmed however, his vision was once again impaired, and when he came out of the explosion, he couldn't see his target at the spot anymore. He still kept going and arrived at the place where his opponent was standing.

He turned his head and looked in every direction but no matter what, he couldn't spot his target, he had once again managed to hide himself.

"Where are you?! Come out and face me, you coward?!" Luo Han resorted to taunting even though he knew that it was in no way a fair fight. He was fighting a mortal human while being a Qi warrior, possessing many times the power of a human.

Obviously, when his opponent didn't give in to his taunt, he clicked his tongue and traversed forward carefully, watching his every step and enhancing his vision to the limit to spot anything that could lead to an explosion.

Luo Han, who had been in a mercenary team had to once face a military cultivator. He wasn't a high rank cultivator and against a force of fourteen cultivators at the second realm, the match was already decided. However, the military man had managed to trap the team in a forest like this.

Guerilla warfare. The military man was an expert in guerilla warfare and his expertise led to the death of the thirteen cultivators. Luo Han barely survived after running away but he never forgot the name of that military man. Fan Tao, a widely known expert in the field of picking up his enemies one by one. A nightmare to those whom he managed to trap in the forest.

However, compared to Luo Han's current opponent, Fan Tao's skills were lacking. No matter what, Fan Tao could still be sensed but Luo Han's current opponent was almost as if he was invisible. And not just his body either, it was like he could erase his true being and become one with nothingness.

'A true expert in guerrilla warfare.' Luo Han thought inwardly as he slowly traversed deeper into the woods. He knew he needed to run away because of his previous experience but his rational side held him back. Logically speaking, Fan Tao was a cultivator in the Qi gathering realm.

Luo Han's current opponent was a simple mortal. Although a little stronger than normal humans, it wasn't anything impressive because Luo Han himself had crossed the boundary of human limits and even without Qi, his physical traits were amazing compared to the other cultivators.

Rustle…

Luo Han turned hurriedly in the direction only to see a squirrel pass by. He turned his attention to the front once again only to see something that made him instinctively say, "What the fu…"

Before he could even complete his phrase, the whirring of a weapon then spewed bullets at him nonstop. The bullets were so strong that he had to enhance his Qi barrier to the limit and focus it only at the front to bear the brunt offered by the gun.

In the hands of Wei Jun was a gun known as the behemoth of all weapons. The gigantic weapon that spewed out 6000 bullets in just a short time of a minute and three seconds. The big gun known as the mini gun. An M61A1 Vulcan cannon mini gun that relentlessly shot bullets at the force of about 600 Newton that even the Qi barrier of Luo Han was threatening to end.

The worst news was; he was stuck in a place. He couldn't move no matter what, he had to expend all his effort on the Qi barrier because he knew that in just a second of distraction, he would be pierced by those bullets and he knew he wouldn't survive no matter what.

His Qi was running out and he was holding by a breath. He couldn't thin out the barrier because it was breaking even at its strongest. When his Qi would run out, he wouldn't be able to hold himself against his opponent.

He only had about half the Qi left and even that was rapidly running out. He ended his Qi armament to use the remaining Qi solely for the barrier but even with that, he was still rapidly losing it.

And the inevitable came to be. He had about ten percent of his Qi left when the relentless assault ended from his opponent. He cautiously raised his head and looked at his opponent who was now standing there with nothing in his hands.

The gun had magically disappeared somewhere but that wasn't the main point of concern because the helmet man shot straight at Luo Han and struck him straight in the barrier. Luo Han couldn't react in time when the helmet man sidestepped and struck Luo Han in the ribs.

Luo Han gritted his teeth and stepped back to create distance but the helmet man wasn't letting up. He knew that Luo Han was low on Qi and the Qi armament wasn't also activated.

But that only got on his nerves. It made him angry that a mere mortal had made him use almost all of his Qi and was now fighting him almost on equal terms, even overwhelming him.

"DON'T FU*K WITH ME!!!" Luo Han yelled and a tangible Qi wave of Qi emanated from him, hitting Wei Jun and pushing him back quite a bit in the distance.

But he wasn't worried, because…

[Qi empowerment realm]

[Strength 54]

[Agility 56]

[Stamina 51]

[Qi 132]

The Qi armament of Luo Han this time wasn't the same as before. In other words, it was doable.

A request to the readers whose suggestions have brought this novel so far. Try my other novel as well and let me know what you think of it so I can improve it as well. I guarantee you will like the plot but for some reason, it isn't gaining the appreciation I hoped so maybe you're opinion could change that.
