Douluo: Fiery Chains of the Soul, Sealing Off All Gods

"But if you ever dare do anything to betray my sister again, I won't let you off."

Su Han smiled wryly. "Brother-in-law, that's all in the past. Can we stop dredging up old scores? I'll treat Huo Wu well from now on."

Huo Wu nodded. "Fine. You'd better remember what you said today."

After speaking, he sighed again. "Poor old Brother Feng."

Su Han teased, "Brother-in-law, who's Brother Feng? Is he pursuing Ah Wu?"

The moment Huo Wu heard that, she anxiously said, "Brother Han, he's just an annoying person. I've rejected him so many times, but he keeps trying to please me. It's really irritating."

Su Han comforted her, "It's fine, Ah Wu. You're so beautiful that it would be strange if no one pursued you. The next time I see him, I'll send him packing."

Huo Wu reminded him, "Brother-in-law, don't underestimate Feng Xiaotian. His Self-Created Soul Skill is quite powerful."

Su Han said disdainfully, "What use is a Self-Created Soul Skill? Isn't the purpose of a Spirit Master's cultivation to reach higher levels? Is it to create Soul Skills? Self-Created Soul Skills may be powerful, but don't forget that they need enormous Soul Power to support them. Instead of raising your level first, you go study all this messy nonsense. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Huo Ming was also full of gratification when he heard Su Han's words.

In his view, if that foolish son of the Feng family could understand this, he would not have failed to win his daughter after nearly ten years of pursuit.

Yet Su Han had succeeded in just ten days.

Although Feng Xiaotian's Self-Created Soul Skill was powerful, in Huo Ming's eyes, he could talk about breaking Su Han's Soul Skill after becoming a Soul Sage.

After hearing Su Han's words, Huo Wu nodded in agreement.

In Su Han's eyes, Self-Created Soul Skills were nothing remarkable.

If you did not give your opponent time to gather strength, or if you simply refused to take their Soul Skill head-on, then that Soul Skill was a joke.

It was not a locking skill. Couldn't others use their own advantages to wear you down?

So many people said the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was powerful. They were simply mindlessly hyping it up.

If no one gave you time to gather strength, or no one took your Soul Skill head-on, what could you do?

Did that hammer technique come with spatial confinement or something?

Would shouting the name of the hammer technique make everyone unable to move?

Would they have no choice but to take it head-on?

Thinking of this, Huo Wu could not help developing a measure of respect for Su Han. "Brother-in-law, let's spar sometime when we're free."

The moment Huo Wu heard that, she immediately became unhappy. "Why aren't you working harder on your cultivation? I'm already level 45. Beat me first before you talk about sparring with Brother Han!"

Huo Wu was shocked by his sister's words. "Little sister, you reached level 45 after going on one mission?"

Huo Ming said, "Enough. Your sister has her own opportunities. You need to hurry up and train. Let's pack up and prepare to return to the academy."

Huo Wu asked, "Is Brother-in-law returning to the academy with us too?"

Huo Ming said, "Little Han and Huo Wu are going back to train for a while, so they won't be returning to the academy. Hurry up and pack your things."

Su Han smiled. "Uncle, then Ah Wu and I will be leaving first." Huo Ming said:

"Go on. Be careful on the road."

When the two arrived outside the camp, everyone curiously asked, "Captain, who is this?"

Huo Wu proudly said, "He is the only man I will ever have in my life."

Upon hearing this, everyone began teasing them.

"Looks like Feng Xiaotian is out of luck. Still, anyone who earns our captain's approval must be better than that Feng Xiaotian."

Su Han found their flattery quite pleasing.

He introduced himself with a smile. "My name is Su Han. Ah Wu is now my wife."

Everyone was stunned by this huge revelation.

After some small talk, Su Han took Huo Wu's hand, and the two walked side by side down the road.

Recalling everything they had gone through together along the way, as well as their awkward first meeting, Su Han could not help feeling deeply moved.

When they returned to the courtyard in the small town at the edge of the Frozen Forest, Li Jie and Zhao Gang stared at Su Han with utter disbelief in their eyes.

Su Han smiled teasingly. "Hey, what's with you two? Why are you both looking so shocked?"

Li Jie immediately gave Su Han a thumbs-up and sincerely praised him. "Little Han, you're incredible! You actually found such a stunning girlfriend."

Huo Wu's face was full of shyness, but she still tightly held Su Han's arm without saying a word.

At that moment, Su Han suddenly recalled a bet he had made with Zhao Gang years ago. He smiled meaningfully. "Old Zhao, do you remember the bet we made two years ago? From now on, you'll have to work hard for me."

Zhao Gang swallowed with difficulty, secretly marveling that Su Han had truly won over a woman from such a powerful force.

He solemnly said, "Fine. I, Old Zhao, have always kept my word. From now on, I'm your subordinate."

Huo Wu became curious and asked in confusion, "Brother Han, what did you two bet on? The stakes were that high?" Li Jie had just opened his mouth when Su Han shot him a sharp glare, forcing him to shut up resentfully.

Su Han turned to Huo Wu and gently said, "Ah Wu, it's nothing important. We just bet on whether I could absorb a thirty-thousand-year Soul Ring. The result is obvious."

Huo Wu nodded doubtfully, then lightly pinched Su Han's waist and coquettishly said, "Brother Han, if you dare lie to me, just wait and see how I deal with you."

Su Han grimaced in pain, yet still said with a cheeky smile, "How could I possibly lie to you, little girl? You're my everything."

When Hao Te saw that Su Han had successfully brought back the Blazing Academy headmaster's daughter, he was so happy he could barely close his mouth.

That night, the five of them sat around a table and celebrated Su Han finding the partner he loved.

Hao Te asked with concern, "Little Han, you're already an expert at the Soul King level. What are your plans for the future?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Han said, "I plan to participate in the Spirit Master Elite Tournament. When the time comes, you three had better come cheer me on."

Li Jie said enviously, "The Soul Master Competition? I heard the reward is three Soul Bones!" Zhao Gang's eyes also lit up at those words, clearly yearning for the reward.

Su Han nodded and continued, "That's right. Those are treasures of the Spirit Master world. Brother Hao Te, you must come watch when the time comes. If I remember correctly, there will be betting pools during the tournament. You three can just bet on me without worry. I won't claim too much, but winning a few million Gold Soul Coins shouldn't be a problem."

A trace of anticipation flashed through the three men's eyes. After all, this was much faster than making money by hunting Soul Beasts, and most importantly, it was a guaranteed win with no risk of loss.

Su Han continued, "Brother Hao Te, I want to go home for a visit. I've been away for so many years and have never gone back. This time, I plan to take Ah Wu with me. We'll be back in four or five months at most."

Hao Te nodded gratefully. "All right, Little Han. Just take Miss Huo Wu back with you. We'll wait for your return."

Li Jie teased, "You can't wait to take her home to meet the family, huh?"

Huo Wu shyly explained, "I'm the one who wants to go back with Brother Han and take a look."

Li Jie laughed. "Oh, oh, oh. You're already singing the same tune as husband and wife."

Huo Wu said with a face full of happiness, "Jealous? Too bad you wouldn't understand."

Li Jie's mouth twitched at those words. For a moment, he was left speechless, and everyone burst into laughter.

After dinner, Su Han brought Huo Wu to his room. The room was extremely simple, and its contents were scattered in complete disorder.

Huo Wu furrowed her delicate brows and said with mild reproach, "Brother Han, can't you tidy up your room?"

Su Han merely smiled. "This is only a temporary place to stay. Why bother tidying it up? Making do is enough."

Huo Wu lightly pinched Su Han's waist again and coquettishly said, "If you dare make our room messy in the future, don't even think about getting into my bed."

Su Han immediately grasped Huo Wu's chin and teased, "Whether I can get into bed isn't up to you."
