Giant's Grasp, Permanent Character Card: Tang Ya

Second, at every major realm, he could draw one Permanent Card with a 100% chance.

Even just awakening counted.

So at this moment, Xu Hanfeng had one chance to activate a Permanent Character Card and draw another Permanent Card.

"Let's use another card as a warm-up first."

"Permanent Card, activate!"

Whoosh—

Purple light—

A card was drawn from the Douluo Compendium and appeared in Xu Hanfeng's hand.

The card's surface was exquisitely detailed. It depicted a massive dark golden hand, framed in purple.

"Permanent Soul Skill Card: Second Soul Skill, Giant's Grasp."

This was a second soul skill.

The effects of all Soul Skill Cards were tied to Xu Hanfeng's own Soul Ring Age.

However, Xu Hanfeng did not yet have a second soul ring, so this Soul Skill Card's effect would be calculated at half the normal optimal age.

That was a little over three hundred years.

Once Xu Hanfeng obtained his second soul ring, the card's effect would increase according to its age.

"This soul skill isn't bad. It has control and damage. It's even a soul skill from Douluo 4."

Xu Hanfeng nodded in satisfaction.

He then pressed it against the Douluo Compendium. The Soul Skill Card transformed into a streak of light and entered the Compendium, becoming a card embedded on the corresponding page.

The Douluo Compendium had an unlimited number of pages.

Moreover, with a single thought from Xu Hanfeng, he could freely summon any card he needed. It was quite convenient.

"Next comes the most important card—the Character Card."

Character Cards were extremely important to Xu Hanfeng right now.

With Consumable Cards, Xu Hanfeng could possess strength beyond that of soul masters at the same realm.

But having a powerful soul master to help him would be even better.

There were over a hundred named female characters from Douluo 2 through Douluo 4, and quite a few of them were powerful.

The advantage is mine!

Draw—

Yellow light—

In an instant, another exquisite card appeared in Xu Hanfeng's hand.

This card had a yellow border.

Its surface depicted a beautiful woman with delicate features, dressed in a blue combat outfit.

"I didn't expect it to be her... Not bad."

Xu Hanfeng was quite satisfied as he looked at the name on the card.

His first Permanent Character Card—Tang Ya.

Character Cards were somewhat different from Soul Skill Cards.

At the upper left corner of the Character Card were six transparent stars.

This was the Character Card's Star Rank Advancement.

That was right... it was advancement just like in some games.

From Soul Master to Soul Emperor, each major realm allowed one advancement.

Advancement required certain conditions. After advancing, the character's strength would increase dramatically, and they could even gain the ability for Over-level Combat.

Very powerful.

Below the Character Card's name was an '∞' symbol.

The earlier Soul Skill Card had one as well.

It represented a Permanent Card.

Xu Hanfeng injected a trace of Soul Power into Tang Ya's card.

The card suddenly transformed into a streak of light and flew before Xu Hanfeng.

In the next instant, a breathtakingly beautiful figure appeared.

It was Tang Ya.

A smooth black ponytail hung down Tang Ya's back.

Her pale blue combat outfit perfectly outlined her exquisite, curvaceous figure.

She looked capable and neat, yet radiated youthful energy.

Her features were as delicate as a painting, and her large phoenix eyes were lively and bright.

Her nose was high and refined, her lips the color of cherries.

Her nearly perfect oval face and fair, delicate skin looked soft enough to break at a touch.

Tang Ya exuded an aura of natural grace and refinement.

She gave off a fresh, unworldly feeling.

"Little Master."

Tang Ya walked to Xu Hanfeng's side with her hands behind her back.

A faint fragrance lingered around him, making even Xu Hanfeng's shabby house feel much more pleasant.

"Cough, cough... Don't call me that."

Xu Hanfeng felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was only six years old at the moment.

"Is Little Master embarrassed?" Tang Ya teased, rubbing Xu Hanfeng's head.

"Don't mess around."

Xu Hanfeng pushed Tang Ya's hand away.

Permanent Character Cards were completely real people.

They had their own thoughts and actions.

They simply could not betray Xu Hanfeng. That was all.

"Tang Ya, I want to ask you something."

"Little Master, what would you like to ask?"

"Do you have memories?"

"Memories..."

"..."

Over the span of just fifteen minutes, Xu Hanfeng asked everything he wanted to know.

Character Cards had no memories. In other words, Tang Ya knew nothing about Douluo 2.

She only possessed memories related to Xu Hanfeng.

She did not even know things like the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

That disappointed Xu Hanfeng somewhat.

Still, the Tang Sect's techniques were quite powerful in Douluo 1's timeline.

What a pity.

But if Tang San's martial arts from his previous life could be cultivated in this world, then why couldn't he do the same?

Still, he needed to retrieve his own things first.

Now that he understood the Douluo Compendium's function, Xu Hanfeng no longer planned to attend a soul master academy.

They could only help him obtain soul rings and teach him some knowledge about soul masters.

With Consumable Cards, he could obtain soul rings too. It would even be easy, as long as he hoarded cards.

He also had Tang Ya's help.

Although Tang Ya's Soul Power, Spiritual Power, physique, and Soul Ring Age were all the same as his, and she did not even have her First Soul Ring at the moment.

She could still use cards.

Xu Hanfeng already roughly understood the knowledge of soul masters, so there was no need for him to study it specifically.

Lastly, his village was not far from Holy Soul Village. If he attended school, it would be Nuoding Academy.

Then he would run into Tang San, Tang Hao, and the others.

Xu Hanfeng was very afraid of dying. If Tang Hao saw his talent and extraordinary martial soul, wouldn't he capture him and make him Tang San's underling?

So Xu Hanfeng had no intention of going to Nuoding Academy at all.

Before gaining enough strength, it was best not to encounter Tang Hao and the others. It was too dangerous.

The prerequisite for crushing Tang San was ensuring his own safety.

"Sister Tang Ya, come out with me."

"Coming."

Xu Hanfeng and Tang Ya headed toward the village chief's house.

When the villagers saw Tang Ya beside Xu Hanfeng, they were all stunned.

"Who's that girl? She's so pretty."

"Yeah, it's my first time seeing a woman like that. So tender-looking."

"So beautiful."

Xu Hanfeng arrived at the village chief's door and knocked.

The door opened. When the village chief saw Xu Hanfeng, he smiled broadly. "Xiao Feng, it seems you've made up your mind."

"Yes, Village Chief. I've decided."

"Come... Let's talk inside."

At the thought of Gold Soul Coins, the greed on the village chief's face could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.

He even seemed not to notice Tang Ya at all.

Tang Ya frowned slightly, clenching her fists. She would make a move when the time came.

After they entered, Tang Ya closed the door.

"Xiao Feng, who is this?"

The village chief was somewhat confused. Did their village have such a beautiful young woman?

"Oh... Village Chief, don't mind her. She came from another village. I don't know why she insists on following me."

The village chief did not suspect anything. After all, Xu Hanfeng had grown up in the village.

He did not know anyone from outside.

His parents had both been honest farmers.

"Xiao Feng, you agree to give up the Work-Study Student spot?"
