Bone Douluo could not help but exclaim, "That kid is growing far too fast!
He's already a Soul King-level powerhouse, and his fourth Soul Ring is even a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. What's even more terrifying is that his martial soul possesses the Space attribute. This is simply too bizarre!"
Ning Fengzhi revealed an appreciative look and said, "Uncle Bone, everyone on the continent knows that you are the most bizarre Titled Douluo. But now, it seems that title may have to change hands.
That kid's fifth soul skill can carve out a separate space. Even Soul Emperor-level powerhouses who enter it end up without so much as bones left behind."
Bone Douluo nodded gravely. "Fengzhi, the Space attribute of that kid's martial soul is even stranger than mine.
He can actually create a separate space directly, and even a level seventy-eight Soul Saint cannot sense its existence.
Such an ability is truly terrifying."
Sword Douluo nodded in agreement. "Such a fine prospect, yet his martial soul isn't a sword. Otherwise, I would certainly take him as my disciple."
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "At this Soul Master Tournament, Spirit Hall is probably going to suffer a setback!"
Bone Douluo burst into laughter. "With that kid's fifth soul skill alone, he could crush Spirit Hall's seven contestants by himself."
Ning Fengzhi let out a soft sigh. "It's a pity Rongrong does not have such fortune.
Otherwise, with his protection in the future, perhaps he could lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to even greater heights."
A vicious glint flashed through Bone Douluo's eyes. "Fengzhi, should I capture that kid and bring him here?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "Uncle Bone, there is no need.
That kid has already joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He can be considered one of our own."
The two of them nodded.
If Su Han had been in Spirit Hall, Bone Douluo would certainly have acted without hesitation, leaving behind no evidence whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Flander had also found the place where Su Han and the others had fought.
He looked around and muttered, "They disappeared here, but there are no signs of a battle nearby."
Flander sank into deep thought.
Three days later—
Su Han and Huo Wu finally arrived in Nuoding City. Looking at the familiar streets, Su Han could not help but relax.
He turned to Huo Wu with a smile. "Huo Wu, Nuoding City is pretty nice too! There are quite a lot of vendors."
Huo Wu looked around and nodded. "Indeed. Nuoding City lies at the border between the two great empires, so trade is naturally more prosperous here."
As they talked, they arrived before a small courtyard. Seeing that the gate was not locked, Su Han thought to himself, Brother Tao must be home.
He gently pushed open the gate and saw Sister Sisi holding a three- or four-year-old child in her arms, teasing him.
The child was fair and chubby, very adorable.
When Sister Sisi saw someone enter through the gate, she raised her head toward the entrance.
Once she recognized him, she cried out in surprise, "Are you Little Han?"
Su Han smiled and nodded. "Sister Sisi, don't tell me you don't recognize me anymore?"
Only then did Sisi walk over and carefully examine Su Han. She said in delighted surprise, "Little Han, it really is you! That's wonderful, you've finally come back!"
Su Han smiled and nodded. "Sister Sisi, this is my wife, Huo Wu."
Huo Wu politely greeted Sister Sisi, "Hello, Sister Sisi."
Surprise flashed through Sister Sisi's eyes before she smiled. "Hello, Miss Huo Wu."
At that moment, Su Han noticed that the three- or four-year-old child was looking at him eagerly.
His heart softened. He walked over, picked up the child, and smiled. "Sister Sisi, this is your and Brother Tao's child, right? What's his name?"
Sisi smiled gently. "Brother Tao named him Su Yang."
Su Han nodded lightly and said to the child, "Little Yang, I'm your Uncle Su Han, okay?"
Excitement flashed through the child's eyes as he shouted, "Hello, Uncle Su!
Dad often talks about you! Uncle Su, are you a Soul Master?"
Su Han smiled and nodded. "What a smart little fellow. Your uncle is a powerful Soul Master.
One day, Little Yang, you'll become a Soul Master too. I'll personally help you hunt for your Soul Rings."
The child danced about in excitement and shouted, "Then you have to keep your word, Uncle!"
If you like it, please vote and leave a five-star review. Thank you all for your support! Don't just read without supporting!
Just then, Su Yuntao returned home as well.
The moment he entered, he saw Su Han.
He froze slightly, then carefully looked Su Han over. The changes were simply too great.
When Su Han had left back then, he had only been an immature child, barely around one meter forty tall.
Now that they met again, his face had gained a touch of maturity, and he had grown to around one meter eighty-five.
Seeing Su Yuntao staring at him in a daze, Su Han smiled. "Brother Tao, what's wrong? I'm Little Han!"
Only then did Su Yuntao shout excitedly, "Little Han, it really is you! That's wonderful! It's been so many years, and you've become much more mature and steady."
He pulled Su Han by the hand into the courtyard and sat him down before asking, "Little Han, is this young lady your girlfriend?"
Huo Wu took the initiative to answer, "Hello, Brother Tao. I'm Su Han's wife."
Su Yuntao's eyes widened. "Little Han, you're married?"
Su Han smiled and nodded. "Soon.
When the time comes, I'll still need Brother Tao to officiate the wedding for me."
Su Yuntao laughed heartily. "Good! Since Little Han is back today, I'll cook personally, and we'll have a good drink!"
Sisi also smiled. "When Little Han drank for the first time back then, he got drunk and collapsed right away!"
Su Han's cheeks reddened slightly as he smiled. "Sister Sisi, you still remember something like that?"
Huo Wu, meanwhile, said in a strangely sarcastic tone, "Brother Han has spent plenty of time drinking with courtesans and listening to music over the years! Isn't that right? There were even twin sisters!"
Su Han's mouth twitched, and everyone burst into laughter at the sight.
When they were half drunk and had sampled several dishes, Su Han suddenly asked, "Brother Tao, are you still serving as a deacon in Spirit Hall?"
Su Yuntao nodded slightly. "Yes. Although you gave me Gold Soul Coins, Little Han, I know that one cannot simply live off one's savings forever. I cannot waste my time."
Su Han waved his hand with a smile. "How could a few Gold Soul Coins compare to the deep bond between us brothers?"
With that, Su Han took out three precious medicinal herbs from his Soul Tool. All were five-thousand-year spiritual treasures. He placed them before Su Yuntao and said, "Brother Tao, these three are a Fire Yuan Flower, Cinnabar Lotus, and Blood Ginseng. You, Sister Sisi, and Little Yang should consume and refine them first. They will greatly benefit your bodies.
Little Yang should eat the Fire Yuan Flower last.
It may even help Little Yang alter his constitution and perhaps cause his martial soul to mutate."
Su Yuntao, Sisi, and Huo Wu all widened their eyes in amazement. This was a Cinnabar Lotus that appeared only once in a thousand years, yet in Su Han's eyes, it seemed utterly insignificant.
Huo Wu felt secretly annoyed as she stared at Su Han. Just how many more things is he hiding from me?
Seeing this, Su Yuntao no longer stood on ceremony and said gratefully, "Then, Little Han, I won't be polite."
Su Han smiled. "Why should brothers be polite with each other?
Brother Tao, you need to prepare yourself. Before taking the Cinnabar Lotus, it would be best for you to immediately return to Spirit Hall and resign.
Otherwise, the increase in your and Sister Sisi's Soul Power may draw unnecessary suspicion."
"Besides, Nuoding City may become unstable in a few years.
I suggest that you move to Heaven Dou Imperial City as soon as possible. I secretly bought a residence there, so Brother Tao, you can move in directly," Su Han continued.
Su Yuntao's heart tightened. He hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the two great empires are about to go to war?"
Su Han shook his head lightly, his expression grave. "Brother Tao, just listen to me and you won't be wrong.
In a few years, this place will certainly be the first to bear the brunt. The sooner you move away, the better.
Once your family goes to Heaven Dou City, we can look after one another."
Su Yuntao had already made up his mind. "All right, Little Han. Brother Tao will listen to you.
Tomorrow, I'll submit my resignation. In any case, I'm only an external staff member."
Afterward, Sisi asked, "Little Han, what level is your Soul Power now?
I can't seem to see through you at all."
Su Han smiled faintly. "Of course you can't see through me, Sister Sisi. I've already advanced to Soul King."
With that, Su Han released his five Soul Rings. Yellow, purple, purple, black, black—their radiance dazzled everyone.
Sisi covered her mouth, while Su Yuntao rose directly to his feet, staring at Su Han in utter disbelief.
Su Yuntao stammered, "L-Little Han, h-how did you do it?"
Su Han waved his hand lightly. "Only through hardship can one reach the end."
