Reputation Begins to Spread, Visiting Chrysanthemum Douluo's Mansion

Chapter 47: Rising to Fame, Visiting Chrysanthemum Douluo's Residence

"Th-This is impossible!"

No one had expected Niu Zhen to be instantly defeated by Gu Han with a single punch.

In the surrounding Audience Seats, many spectators who still believed Gu Han was worthless could not help muttering to themselves, utterly unable to accept this reality.

Gu Han was clearly nothing more than a pill-popping product of rushed cultivation.

And his cultivation was only level thirty-six.

How could even Niu Zhen, who was level thirty-eight and had achieved twenty-nine consecutive victories at the Martial Soul City Great Soul Arena, be no match for him?!

This time, Gu Han had not even used a weapon!

Could they really have been wrong?

Was Gu Han not actually trash, but a genuine genius?!

"Xiao Han just now... it seemed like he used Martial Soul Possession!"

On the Observation Corridor outside the Lounge, when Hu Liena saw Gu Han summon his Martial Soul: Sacred Dragon, enter Martial Soul Possession, and then instantly defeat Niu Zhen with one punch, her beautiful eyes widened. Her exquisite, alluring face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Although she had learned from her teacher, Pope Bibi Dong, that Gu Han's Sacred Dragon Martial Soul had successfully evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon, Hu Liena had not asked about it in detail at the time.

Nor had Bibi Dong explained much.

Thus, Hu Liena had no idea that Gu Han's Sacred Dragon could now undergo Martial Soul Possession.

Beside her, Xie Yue and Yan were equally shocked.

Upon discovering that Gu Han's Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, after evolving into the Golden Sacred Dragon, could actually undergo Martial Soul Possession, Xie Yue immediately felt that Gu Han was likely about to stir up a massive storm in the Great Soul Arena.

After all, the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was a powerful True Dragon Martial Soul on the same level as the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul inherited by the Qian Family's Six-Winged Angel, the true master of Spirit Hall!

If Gu Han's Martial Soul had merely evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon but could not possess him, then judging by the Sacred Dragon's appearance—like an undernourished young dragon—its combat strength obviously would not have been very high.

When competing in Soul Combat, Gu Han could only rely on his own Soul Power and weapons to fight his enemies.

Yet his opponents still had their Martial Souls and soul skills to aid them. That would have put him at far too great a disadvantage.

But now that the Sacred Dragon could undergo Martial Soul Possession, things were different!

The legendary Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was such a powerful True Dragon Martial Soul. The boosts it could grant a soul master, as well as the power of the soul skills it produced, were likely astonishing!

The voices of the girls in the surrounding Audience Seats had not been loud to begin with.

But after Gu Han instantly defeated Niu Zhen with one punch, the entire Soul Arena fell silent. The girls' delighted and excited cries of Gu Han's name instantly rang throughout the arena.

At that moment, the Host also recovered from his shock and announced the result.

"This Soul Combat has concluded! The winner is contestant Gu Han!"

After the Soul Combat ended, Gu Han left the arena and returned to the Lounge.

At that moment, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were all waiting for Gu Han outside the Lounge.

When Gu Han arrived, Hu Liena immediately asked in delighted surprise, "Gu Han, can the Sacred Dragon undergo Martial Soul Possession now?"

"Yes, Senior Sister. After the Sacred Dragon evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon, it gained the ability to switch into Martial Soul form and possess me."

Gu Han replied with a smile.

"You had such good news, yet you didn't tell me earlier. You had me worried that you might not be a match for Niu Zhen!"

Hu Liena looked at Gu Han with slight resentment and "fiercely" pounded his chest with her little fists.

Over the next several days, Gu Han came to the Martial Soul City Great Soul Arena every evening with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan to participate in Soul Combat.

In every Solo Soul Combat of the Soul Elder Group, regardless of his opponent, Gu Han defeated them all with a single punch!

In the Great Soul Arena, strength was supreme!

Previously, in the eyes of countless people in Martial Soul City, Gu Han had been a useless person with innate soul power of 0.25, a lucky fellow who had only been accepted as Pope Bibi Dong's disciple because of sheer good fortune.

As for Gu Han's cultivation, they believed it had only progressed so quickly because Bibi Dong had spared no expense in pouring resources into him.

He was nothing but a pill-popping cultivator.

Although he had once defeated Xiong Ba in their one-year agreement, because he had relied on the Sun Radiance Sword rather than his Martial Soul, some people saw it as cheating through a surprise attack.

Thus, his true strength had always been greatly doubted.

But after watching Gu Han's Soul Combats over the past few days, the audience's impression of him quickly underwent a complete reversal.

Now, in the hearts of the audience, Gu Han was handsome, powerful, and pitiable!

His handsomeness naturally referred to his flawless, strikingly beautiful appearance.

After being optimized by the Heavenly Transformation System, Gu Han's looks had reached over ninety points—enough to make the vast majority of men envious and jealous, and the vast majority of women fall for him.

This earned Gu Han countless female fans.

"Strong" referred to Gu Han's overwhelmingly powerful strength. In Soul Combats among those of the same rank, no matter the opponent, he defeated them all with a single punch.

Wasn't that enough to prove his strength?

And finally, "miserable" referred to Gu Han's tragic background. Born an orphan, with Innate Soul Power of only 0.25 rank and unable to undergo Martial Soul Possession, he had already been deemed to possess a useless Martial Soul.

Yet Gu Han had not given up. He had actually found a way to achieve Martial Soul Evolution, catching Pope Bibi Dong's attention and being accepted as her disciple.

Afterward, with Pope Bibi Dong's help, Gu Han finally achieved Martial Soul Evolution and successfully made up for the flaw that prevented his Martial Soul from possessing him, becoming a powerful Soul Master.

It was simply too inspiring!

This also caused countless Spirit Hall Soul Masters, who had originally held quite a few complaints about Bibi Dong, to instead become full of admiration for her.

Because the talent and strength Gu Han now displayed were already more than enough to prove that all the resources Bibi Dong had given him were worth it!

After all, an eight-year-old Soul Elder whose strength was practically invincible among those of the same rank could not possibly be cultivated through resources alone.

At the Martial Soul City Great Soul Arena.

Gu Han fought in Solo Soul Combat in the Soul Elder Group, using his technique of instantly defeating opponents with one punch to achieve five consecutive victories.

During that time, Gu Han also registered Team Sacred Dragon Knight by himself and participated in Team Soul Combat, facing two opponents alone and achieving three consecutive victories.

This gradually made Gu Han's name known in both the Great Soul Arena and Martial Soul City.

But before long, the day arrived for Gu Han to visit Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, as they had previously agreed.

After preparing a gift for the visit.

Following the address Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had given him, Gu Han arrived before Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's residence.

Looking at the spacious, ancient-looking Eastern-style courtyard manor before him, Gu Han was rather surprised.

Most of the buildings in Martial Soul City were Western in style. He had not expected Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's residence to be an Eastern-style courtyard.

After Gu Han knocked on the courtyard gate.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, dressed in luxurious golden robes, with long golden hair and an androgynously handsome face, quickly opened the gate.

"Ah, it's Xiao Han!"

Seeing that it was Gu Han, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan immediately broke into a smile and warmly ushered him into the courtyard.

Once inside, Gu Han finally understood why Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had chosen an Eastern-style courtyard as his residence.

Because Eastern-style courtyards had plenty of space!

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's courtyard was filled with flowerbeds everywhere, each planted with all kinds of brilliantly colored flowers and plants that gave off a rich, fragrant scent.

The entire courtyard seemed like an ocean of flowers and greenery.
