At that moment, Su Yang also spoke up. "Dad, I want to become a Soul King like Uncle Su Han."

Su Han smiled and scraped Su Yang's nose. "Your future won't stop at Soul King. Even if I have to pile medicines on you, I'll help you become a Titled Douluo."

Hearing this, Su Yuntao's eyes filled with envy. After all, his third soul ring was only around eight hundred years old.

After a warm family dinner, Su Han returned to his familiar little bed. Lying on it, he felt a wave of warmth and familiarity.

Seeing this, Huo Wu said sarcastically, "Hmph, just how many things are you hiding from me?"

Su Han pulled Huo Wu over and held her tightly in his arms. "Little girl, what have I hidden from you?"

Huo Wu refused to let it go. "Where did you get so many thousand-year treasure medicines? If they appeared on the market, every major force would probably fight over them."

Hearing this, Su Han gently patted Huo Wu's back. "Little girl, it's better if you don't know about this.

I'm afraid it'll bring you trouble, understand? I'll tell you once I'm strong enough."

Although Huo Wu was still dissatisfied, she chose to trust Su Han. "Alright, Brother Han, I believe you.

But from now on, can you stop hiding things from me? I'm your wife. Whatever happens, we'll face it together."

Su Han gently bit Huo Wu's ear. "Don't worry. I won't hide anything from you again."

In truth, Su Han had already made plans. He intended to save the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, known as the King of Immortal Herbs, for Huo Wu.

However, he also knew that the time was not right. He would have to wait until after the Soul Master Competition before taking action.

After all, he was unwilling to drag Huo Wu into dangerous matters.

The two stayed home for five days. After Su Han handed Su Yuntao the keys to the house in Heaven Dou City, he set off back with Huo Wu.

They returned to Suotuo City and chose a restaurant, taking seats by the window on the second floor.

While they were eating, they saw a large group of people setting out downstairs.

Su Han glanced over and discovered that Zhao Wuji was leading a group of students. Master Yu Xiaogang was among them as well.

At that moment, a red-haired chubby boy spoke up. "With Teacher Zhao leading us this time, won't getting Oscar's soul ring be easy?"

Everyone immediately echoed his words.

Su Han carefully observed the crowd below and had already reached a conclusion.

That skinny kid in blue fitted clothes was probably little Bie San;

that chubby boy was naturally Ma Hongjun;

the guy wearing glasses had to be Oscar;

as for Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Two Hundred Wu, they were all there as well.

Seeing Su Han stare so intently at the crowd below, Huo Wu became a little displeased. She lightly kicked him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Su Han came back to his senses, grabbed Huo Wu's hand, and said, "Little girl, hurry. Time waits for no one."

Huo Wu looked utterly confused, unable to understand what he meant. But Su Han said no more and led Huo Wu into a rapid sprint along a side path.

Huo Wu looked utterly confused, unable to understand what he meant.

But Su Han said no more and led Huo Wu into a rapid sprint along a side path.

As they ran, Huo Wu asked in confusion, "Brother Han, what could possibly make you this anxious?"

Su Han stopped and carefully used his spiritual power to sense the surroundings. After confirming that everything was clear, he directly activated his fifth soul skill.

The two figures flashed and vanished from where they stood.

Unfortunately, Su Han's soul skill could not achieve true teleportation. It could only bring the two of them into an independent space.

And the entrance and exit of that space always remained in the same location.

The moment Huo Wu entered the space, her pupils contracted. She asked in surprise, "Brother Han, what are you doing?"

Su Han smiled faintly. "Little girl, this space can do more than just control people.

Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to withstand the spatial gravity compression."

Hearing this, Huo Wu became even more curious. "Brother Han, what is so mysterious that you have to tell me inside this space?"

Su Han took a deep breath, his expression turning grave. "I discovered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It has already taken human form, and it was among those students just now."

Huo Wu instantly covered her mouth and stared at Su Han in disbelief.

After all, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were extremely rare, and their value was impossible to estimate.

Su Han nodded and continued, "That's right. And the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is among them too.

With her there, there must be at least five Soul Saints guarding the area. That's why I could only tell you inside this space."

Huo Wu now understood and asked, "Then, Brother Han, are you planning to make a move against that Soul Beast in human form?"

A glint flashed through Su Han's eyes. "This Soul Beast has great use. I have to take it, no matter the cost."

This Two Hundred Wu would be Su Han's bargaining chip to threaten the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. That fool's soul bone and soul ring did not suit him. Even if they were a hundred thousand years old, Su Han would not care for them. His fifth soul skill was no worse than a hundred-thousand-year one.

What use was having more soul skills? What mattered most was whether they suited him and could bring out their greatest effect.

What suited him was the best. A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone was certainly precious, but trading it for a hundred-thousand-year Space-type soul bone would be a real profit.

Even if he could not get one, a seventy- or eighty-thousand-year one would do. After absorbing it, he could have the Titan Giant Ape force a fifty- or sixty-thousand-year Space-type Spirit Beast to sacrifice itself to him.

Normally, a Spirit Beast could not sacrifice itself before reaching a hundred thousand years. But with the Titan Giant Ape forcing it, it would have no choice even if it did not want to.

Su Han had no intention of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Neither the Titan Giant Ape nor the Sky Azure Bull Python suited him.

Expecting a hundred-thousand-year Space-type Spirit Beast to voluntarily sacrifice itself was no different from dreaming.

Huo Wu asked worriedly, "The leader is a Soul Saint, Brother Han. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Su Han replied confidently, "There's a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. We can go there in advance and make preparations.

I'll use the sleeping incense I carefully prepared. Even a Soul Saint will fall into a deep slumber."

Excitement flashed in Huo Wu's eyes. That was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone!

After leaving the space, the two sped all the way toward that small town.

Indeed, two Soul Saints were following Ning Rongrong, but they did not follow Su Han.

By noon, Su Han arrived at Soul Hunting Town with Huo Wu, panting heavily.

After booking a room, Su Han began preparing the medicine.

The medicine was colorless and odorless, enough to send anyone into a deep sleep.

By the time night fell, Su Han had finally finished preparing it.

He could not be bothered with Shrek's bullying of the weak, so he and Huo Wu cultivated quietly in their room while waiting for the best opportunity.

In the early hours of the morning, Su Han and Huo Wu were both refreshed. Su Han took out the antidote and had them take it.

Then, Su Han pulled five sticks of soul-dazing incense from his clothes and quietly lit them in the inn's main hall and at the four corners of the second floor.

Su Han softly told Huo Wu, "Little girl, wait outside first."

Huo Wu's eyes were full of reluctance, but she still softly reminded him, "Brother Han, be careful." With that, she slowly walked out of the inn.

Su Han quietly watched the fine sand trickle through the hourglass. After patiently waiting for one hour, he began his operation.

The two Soul Saints following Ning Rongrong had also fallen into a deep sleep by then.

Su Han crept to the fourth Jiazi room and gently pushed open the door.

Inside, three girls were sleeping soundly. Xiao Wu was curled up on the far right, Ning Rongrong breathed peacefully in the middle, and Zhu Zhuqing slept on the left.

Su Han sighed inwardly. If the situation had not been so urgent, he truly would have wanted to ravage these delicate flowers.

But on second thought, Su Han gently shook his head and cast aside those distracting thoughts.

Without making a sound, Su Han picked up a sack and gently put Xiao Wu inside. He then quietly closed the door, carried the sack on his back, and slipped out of the inn.

When Huo Wu saw Su Han emerge, she hurried forward. "Brother Han, you didn't do anything improper, did you?"

Su Han smiled helplessly. "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Huo Wu rolled her eyes playfully. "I can't speak for others, but I definitely can't trust you, Brother Han."

With that, she directly reached out to pull down Su Han's pants.

Su Han did not know whether to laugh or cry. Once this little girl pouted, there was truly nothing he could do about her.

After checking him over, Huo Wu nodded in satisfaction. "You were fairly honest. You didn't do anything to betray me."

Su Han urged anxiously, "Little girl, hurry up. We need to go."

After racing through the night, the two finally arrived at a small town on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Su Han rented a quiet little courtyard and tied Xiao Wu in a corner of the room. He stuffed a smelly sock into her mouth, covered her eyes with black cloth, and plugged her ears with sponge.

Only after ensuring that she could neither move nor sense the outside world did he place her on the ground.
