Returning to the Worship Hall, Careless Words Conceal a Fortuitous Opportunity
"Okay, then I'll listen to Xiao Li. From now on, my Martial Soul will be called the Amethyst Crystal Bear."
Xiu'er sensed Han Li's happiness and replied sweetly, her emotions seeming even stronger than before due to the Martial Soul Evolution.
"Alright, let's go eat. The kitchen should be ready by now. We'll test the specifics of the Martial Soul tomorrow when I return from the Worship Hall."
Han Li addressed the two of them.
"Come on, Xiu'er, I've been starving while I've been waiting for you."
Dugu Yan took Xiu'er's hand and ran towards the door. Han Li smiled and followed.
After quickly finishing their food, the three split into two groups and entered adjacent rooms.
Dugu Yan and Xiu'er are temporarily staying together. On the one hand, Dugu Yan just arrived today, and Han Li hopes that Xiu'er will keep her company. On the other hand, it was Xiu'er's own request, saying that the two hit it off immediately and had a lot to talk about, so Han Li naturally wouldn't object.
Han Li did not go to sleep immediately after returning to his room, but instead began to cultivate.
This is something that requires perseverance and cannot tolerate any slackening. He has not yet completed the minimum training time required today.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, when Han Li got up to exercise as usual, he found that the two women had also arrived at the training ground, but they were clearly not in good spirits, obviously having chatted late the night before. Han Li didn't say anything; they didn't have anything planned for the day and would just catch up on sleep later.
After completing his daily exercise, Han Li told them that he was going to the Worship Hall in the morning and then left first.
When he arrived at the front hall, he found that Broad Hill had already arrived.
"Good morning, Master. Shall we go now?"
Han Li greeted him and casually asked.
"Yeah, let's go there sooner. I should have gone to say hello as soon as I got back yesterday."
Broad Hill glanced at Han Li, who was already prepared, and stood up to walk outside.
"By the way, Master, do you have a 5,000-year-old Dark Gold Bear readily available?"
Han Li remembered that Sister Xiu'er was already level 20, so he quickened his pace and followed.
"Have you already used it on Xiu'er? The improvement is quite significant."
Broad Hill immediately understood what was going on.
"Yes, I took it yesterday evening, and the improvement was indeed significant. My Martial Soul has also mutated a bit and become much stronger." Han Li couldn't help but reveal his joy as he spoke.
"I'll ask her after this is over. The one we prepared was for three thousand years, but I didn't expect it to be useless so soon. Once she absorbs the Soul Ring, she'll be a true genius among her peers."
Broad Hill was also somewhat amazed. This was truly Immortal Herb. For these young people, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was Bone Replacement. Sometimes he even felt that he had been born a little too early.
"Not only that, Xiu'er Xiu'er's original level was too low. After absorbing the Soul Ring, she can at least reach level 23, and level 25 is not impossible. In fact, she has already exceeded it." Han Li replied with a smile, expressing his own speculation.
"Oh, that makes sense. She was only level fourteen before."
Broad Hill paused for a moment before realizing that he had overlooked this point.
"The more talented we are, the more it makes you seem like a great teacher."
"That's good, haha. Alright, speed things up, I can't wait to see their expressions."
The master and apprentice increased their speed and headed towards the Worship Hall while chatting and laughing.
Worship Hall.
As usual, Han Li greeted his uncles and senior brothers with a smile, then stood obediently in place.
"Fifth brother, you guys have been away for quite a while this time. Looks like you've had a good haul. Tell me about it."
It was Golden Crocodile who spoke; he immediately noticed something was off about the master and apprentice.
Putting aside the fact that Han Li's rise to power was rather audacious, he actually felt a great threat from Broad Hill.
"That's right, three months. I can't work for nothing."
Broad Hill raised an eyebrow, surprised that Golden Crocodile was the first to notice that something was wrong with him.
"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense."
Qian Daoliu had opened his eyes at some point. He glanced at the two of them. He had received Qian Renxue's letter and knew a little about it, but he was also a little curious.
"Yes, elder brother."
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu speak, Broad Hill abandoned her playful thoughts and became much more serious.
"In summary, Xiao Li and I have had some extraordinary experiences in the past three months. I have now broken through to Level 98, while Xiao Li is currently at level 34."
As they spoke, the master and disciple exchanged a glance, both summoning their Martial Soul and releasing their auras.
The Worship Hall instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Apart from Qian Daoliu, who remained calm, the others all looked somewhat astonished.
After a long while, their faces regained their composure, but what they were really thinking was anyone's guess.
"Mother, what you've experienced isn't just a miraculous encounter, it's an absolute miracle!"
The Lion, feeling somewhat stifled, couldn't help but speak up.
He watched as Broad Hill, who was originally weaker than him, rose from level 96 to Level 98 in just two years after taking him as a disciple, leaving him far behind.
Could it be that taking on a disciple and then going out with him is the best way to advance after becoming Super Douluo? Several elders had the same thought in their hearts.
"Fifth Brother, what kind of extraordinary encounter could have allowed you to break through again after just one breakthrough, Xiao Li also jumped more than ten levels in one go?"
Qian Jun, who had never been particularly convinced of Broad Hill, surprisingly called him Fifth Brother. He couldn't help it; he was too eager to improve.
Moreover, Broad Hill is now Level 98, so even if he and his brother team up, they have no chance of winning.
"Actually, it's nothing. You've probably all heard of it. It's the Immortal Herb that Little Chrysanthemum has always praised. His Martial Soul is one of them. It just so happens that Xiao Li and I ran into it." Broad Hill replied casually.
"So that thing really exists?"
The Lion felt an urge to slap himself when he thought about how he had secretly mocked him for being foolish from growing flowers. Why hadn't he gone over to take a look back then?
"Isn't what you're saying obvious? Otherwise, how would Xiao Li and I have broken through? But don't get your hopes up too high. Immortal Herb aren't actually that useful to us. If we have the right attributes, they can only slightly strengthen our Martial Soul."
"My breakthrough was purely by chance. I even took Xiao Li Li's opportunities before I could barely complete it. He didn't even have the heart to eat it himself."
Broad Hill rolled her eyes and gave a serious reminder.
"He didn't eat, yet he jumped more than ten levels in one go?" Qian Jun's face twitched violently.
"Xiao Li Li's Martial Soul Evolution, which has led to an increase in his Soul Power. You can understand this by looking at his Martial Soul and Soul Ring."
Broad Hill gestured for Han Li to make the Soul Ring more conspicuous, so they could see them.
Han Li nodded slightly, and the three Soul Ring —black, purple, and black—that were not very conspicuous on the bow handle instantly grew larger, completely attracting the attention of the others.
