Gu Han fell into deep thought.

First, he ruled out using Heavenly Points to remove the impurities from Luo Sanpao's martial soul.

Although, according to the system, using Heavenly Points to remove the impurities from Luo Sanpao's martial soul could immediately evolve Luo Sanpao into a Golden Sacred Dragon.

Gu Han was certain that if he evolved Luo Sanpao tonight—

By tomorrow night, he would disappear, imprisoned by Bibi Dong in a Secret Chamber and forced to reveal the method of Martial Soul Evolution.

As for why, it was naturally because of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

Thus, Gu Han quickly made his decision.

Of the three Heavenly Points, he would use one on the Optimization Function to make up for his body's flaws and improve his talent for cultivation.

As for the other two, he planned to use the Deduction Function to deduce a Soul Power Cultivation Technique and a body-tempering technique.

The former could allow him to cultivate faster.

The latter could increase his combat power and Soul Ring absorption limit, raising his potential.

However, the Deduction Function required Gu Han to collect sufficient data in place of the system.

Therefore, he could not yet deduce suitable Soul Power Cultivation and body-tempering techniques.

"System, consume x1 Heavenly Point and use the Optimization Function. I want to optimize my body's talents!"

Having made his decision, Gu Han immediately said to the system.

Ding! The system is scanning the host's body. Detected 9,527 bloodline flaws and 4,396 physique flaws within the host's body. Would you like to make up for these flaws? After the flaws are remedied, the host's physique can be elevated to a Perfect Body. Cultivation talent is expected to improve significantly, while physical fitness and appearance will also improve to varying degrees.

The Heavenly Transformation System's mechanical voice sounded.

It could improve his looks too?

Gu Han was somewhat surprised.

But that was certainly a good thing.

"Make up for the flaws!"

Gu Han answered without hesitation.

Remedying flaws: 1%, 2%, 3%...

As the Heavenly Transformation System's voice rang out, Gu Han felt an inexplicable warm current flow into his body, rapidly coursing through his limbs and bones. It felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring.

Under the effect of the warm current, Gu Han felt as though shackles within his body were being broken one after another. His body grew increasingly relaxed, his thoughts increasingly agile, and his skin seemed to be continuously becoming fairer.

Ding! Flaw remediation complete!

The moment he heard the word "complete," Gu Han rushed over to the table in his room.

In the mirror, as clear as polished glass, was the reflection of a little boy with pale golden hair, jade-white skin, red lips and white teeth, and exceptionally handsome features.

If Gu Han's appearance before could only be considered delicate, barely passing if rated out of one hundred—

Then after having his flaws remedied, his looks had reached above ninety.

As for one hundred, that was absolutely impossible.

In Gu Han's opinion, the upper limit of human attractiveness was anything above ninety.

Everyone had different standards of beauty, so there could be no perfect hundred-point appearance that everyone found flawless.

In other words, Gu Han was now an exceptionally handsome little boy in the eyes of most people.

Meanwhile, in Spirit City.

After Gu Han returned to the Orphanage and revealed that Pope Bibi Dong had accepted him as her disciple—

Because Gu Han's Innate Soul Power was only level 0.25, it was simply unbelievable that a worthless nobody had been accepted as a disciple by the esteemed His Holiness the Pope.

Thus, the news quickly spread throughout Spirit City.

"What? His Holiness the Pope actually accepted a worthless loser with only level 0.25 Innate Soul Power as a disciple? You must be joking!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could His Holiness the Pope possibly take a liking to a loser!"

"I refuse to accept this! I have level eight Innate Soul Power, yet His Holiness the Pope didn't accept me as a disciple. Why does this loser get to become His Holiness the Pope's disciple?!"

Upon learning the news, countless Spirit City soul masters felt incomparably jealous and resentful, filled with indignation toward Gu Han.

It could be said that in less than a single day, Gu Han had drawn the hatred of countless people.

Who knew how many people wanted to find Gu Han and see just what it was about such a loser that had won the favor of the esteemed His Holiness the Pope.

"What? Teacher accepted another disciple? A boy, and one with only level 0.25 Innate Soul Power?"

Within a lavish courtyard.

Upon hearing this news, Hu Liena's seductive and stunning face was filled with shock. She could scarcely believe it.

Back when Bibi Dong had accepted her as a disciple, Hu Liena had wanted her teacher to accept her brother Xie Yue as a disciple as well.

But unfortunately, Bibi Dong had refused outright, saying that she did not like taking male disciples.

After that, Bibi Dong had only ever had Hu Liena as her disciple.

Hu Liena had thought that her teacher, Bibi Dong, would never take a male disciple in her life. Yet not only had she accepted a male disciple, his talent was absurdly poor.

Why would Teacher do this?!

Hu Liena was utterly baffled.

Inside the Angel Church of Douluo Hall.

A handsome middle-aged man with golden hair, wearing magnificent golden robes and carrying an air of weathered dignity, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. His eyes were closed as he meditated before the Angel God Statue.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

A tall, burly middle-aged man with short black hair strode inside and said irritably, "Grand Enforcer, that Bibi Dong still hasn't forgotten that loser. She actually took a kid with the same martial soul as that loser, and with Innate Soul Power of only level 0.25, as her disciple."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"She certainly cannot forget that loser. After all, Ji'er did such a thing to her. But she was also spoiled and protected too much by Ji'er, so she knows nothing of propriety."

"She actually wanted to elope with that loser. Ji'er's actions were somewhat extreme, and he did wrong by her, but how has she not also wronged our Qian Family and Spirit Hall?"

"Forget it. For Xue'er's sake, don't interfere with her."

However, just as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu seemed to think of something. After pondering briefly, he added, "By the way, Jiang Mo, since she has taken that child with the same martial soul as that loser as her disciple, people in Spirit City may start discussing what happened back then."

"Go look around immediately. Order all those below who know the truth not to discuss it. Xue'er must never find out what happened back then."

"Yes!"

The next day, at dawn.

Within a standalone courtyard in Spirit City.

After optimizing his talents the previous night, Gu Han had cultivated for several hours until late into the night.

He had then collapsed onto the soft bed and slept comfortably through the night.

After waking and washing up, Gu Han instinctively prepared to head to the dining hall for breakfast.

But he suddenly realized that he had already left the Orphanage.

Although the Orphanage's living conditions were poor, meals were prepared daily in the dining hall, so he never had to worry about food.

Now that he had left the Orphanage, he had to prepare his own meals.

Gu Han scratched his head, a trace of sentiment appearing on his handsome little face.

Everything really had its pros and cons!
