Butterfly Effect, The Current State of the Original Protagonist Group

After a short rest in the town, the group left.

The main reason is that Broad Hill and Azure Luan have been out for quite a while, so we need to send a message to Spirit City to let them know.

"By the way, Xiao Li, when we came here, Xiao Xue said she found a few geniuses and is planning to participate in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition to challenge the teams selected by the Pope's Hall. Are you interested in picking a few people to join in the fun?"

Broad Hill seemed to remember something and turned her head to look at Han Li with great interest.

"The All-Continent Soul Master Competition? How long until then?"

Han Li was somewhat dazed; it seemed like he had been out of touch with his peers for quite some time.

"There's still more than half a year left, how about it? Want to make a move?" Broad Hill seemed very enthusiastic about it.

"No, that's not worth it. I'm the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, after all, and I'll definitely be representing the Spirit Hall at the event. It would be a bit disrespectful to the Pope to bring a separate team."

"The Spirit Hall sending two teams will only make them a laughing stock."

Han Li shook his head; he really wasn't interested in this.

Then, he turned his head to look at the three women and found that Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er were somewhat interested.

He considered for a moment, then looked at the three of them. "If you're interested, you can participate; consider it a relaxing activity."

"Well, Bing'er, why don't you contact Aunt Su? My relationship with the Skywater Academy is practically public now. If you want to play, you can compete under the name of the Skywater Academy. We won't ask for the competition rewards; consider it a gift for Aunt Su."

"Even if Skywater Academy wins the final championship, it shouldn't offend the Pope's Hall, since it is considered a subordinate force."

This can be considered Han Li's reward for abducting Shui Bing'er. You know, he has used the Chamber of Commerce's resources to help Skywater Academy develop over the past few years.

Currently, among the major elemental academies, Skywater Academy is considered the most powerful, but its relationship with the other academies can never be the same as before.

A hint of joy flashed across Shui Bing'er's face, and she nodded gently. Her mother would be very happy to hear this news.

"What about Lingling?"

Dugu Yan suddenly spoke up and looked at Han Li.

"Yes, we'll help her resolve this when we get there. However, it's best for her to stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for now. Qian Renxue needs manpower, and she probably won't agree to poaching her staff."

Han Li then remembered the question about Ye Lingling, and decided to discuss the details with Qian Renxue when he arrived at the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Can Xiao Xue also condense Soul Core?"

Broad Hill asked again.

"It is possible, but let's discuss the specifics after you return to Spirit City and meet with your Grand Uncle-Master. Her affairs are not something we can decide on our own."

Although Han Li gave a clear answer, he still chose to play it safe. This was different from imparting skills, as it still required Qian Daoliu's approval.

"Yes, that's true."

Broad Hill considered it for a moment and decided to ask him after he got back.

Ignoring his master's reaction, Han Li closed his eyes and entered a state of dozing.

Now that he has some free time, he wants to check the situation over there in advance.

In his Spiritual Space, Han Li looked at the Little Light Orb, which had become much brighter, and stretched out his right hand.

The Little Light Orb traced an arc and landed directly in his palm.

"Great father, congratulations on taking another step forward."

Upon meeting, the Little Light Orb immediately began to flatter him.

"You look much better now."

Han Li, in a rather pleasant mood, pinched the surface of the Little Light Orb.

"Yes, Father, I have now seized more than half of the control and can also come into contact with some intelligent beings other than you."

The Little Light Orb seemed to be taking credit for its actions, completely unconcerned about Han Li's abuse of it.

"That Ice Silkworm did a good job. What time is it expected to arrive at the designated location?"

Han Li's lips curled up slightly. It was originally just a pre-planned scheme, but it achieved its goal ahead of schedule, which was something to be happy about.

"At its current speed, it will probably take more than a month. It is very wary and does not completely trust me. I cannot directly control it."

The consciousness conveyed by the Little Light Orb carried a hint of loss.

"Don't worry about it, you've done a great job."

Han Li offered a timely word of encouragement, patted its surface, and said, "Consider this your head."

He hadn't expected the Plane Consciousness to be of much help in this regard, so this was a pleasant surprise, and he was already quite satisfied.

Hearing his praise, the Little Light Orb, which had just dimmed, brightened up again, flew around Han Li merrily, and landed on his shoulder.

"I'd like to check on the situation in Heaven Dou City and ask you to relay it to me."

Han Li watched its actions with a smile, and only spoke up to give instructions after it stopped.

"Yes, Father."

The Little Light Orb stopped its hopping and shooting out a beam of light that formed a light screen in front of Han Li.

"This is the extraterrestrial person named Tang San that you've been paying attention to. He has already arrived at the Royal Heaven Dou Academy, and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast beside him is also with him."

The screen displayed the scene of Tang San and Xiao Wu cultivating.

"Has its true identity not been discovered?"

Han Li asked a question out of curiosity.

"The Heaven Dou Academy has not yet discovered that the former Clear Sky Douluo has been secretly helping her conceal her aura at regular intervals."

"However, when the titled person with the sword went to find Ning Rongrong, he seemed to have sensed something, but Tang Hao later met with the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and reached an agreement."

The Little Light Orb described the development of events in detail.

"Oh, is that so? Tell me about it, what kind of agreement is it?"

Things seemed to be getting interesting. Han Li unconsciously tapped the armrest with his fingers and asked with great interest.

"As long as Ning Fengzhi can pretend he didn't find anything and help cover it up, Tang Hao will provide a batch of Hidden Weapon to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future, and the transaction will be conducted at cost price."

The Little Light Orb meticulously summarized the content of their conversation.

"So, does Tang San also know Xiao Wu's identity? Or is this just a one-sided promise from Tang Hao?"

Han Li immediately perked up. He was certain that without the Immortal Herb, Tang San's current level of Purple Demon Eyes was insufficient to see through Xiao Wu's disguise and discover the truth.

"Tang San doesn't know yet; it's just a unilateral promise from Tang Hao," the Little Light Orb directly answered.

"Is that so? That's really interesting."

Han Li, for some unknown reason, revealed a rather wicked smile.

"Use your abilities to help Xiao Wu temporarily conceal her identity. By the way, given their connection, we should be able to borrow Tang San's luck, so let's use his luck to carry out this operation."

Han Li pondered for a long time before making a decision.

"It can be done, please wait a moment."

The Little Light Orb answered decisively. It never questioned Han Li's orders, nor did it inquire about the reasons behind them.

After the Little Light Orb finished answering, it seemed to freeze, its light dimmed, and it only recovered after a few seconds.

On the light screen in front of him, Han Li saw Tang San frown while cultivating. He opened his eyes and looked around warily. Finding nothing, he then returned to his cultivation state.

In Han Li's eyes, a wisp of mist above his head was diverted into the next room.

"Okay, very good."

Han Li revealed a wicked smile. Xiao Wu's Soul Ring effect was extraordinary. Even if he didn't use it himself, he had already made other arrangements.

Now, being able to use this opportunity to strike at Tang San, who is destined to be an enemy, is truly exhilarating.

"By the way, where is Zhu Zhuqing?"

Han Li suddenly remembered the pit he had casually dug when he went to the Slaughter City, and turned his head to ask.

"In response to Father, her condition is not very good. She has actively excluded herself from the group and is unwilling to try the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai. Her relationship with Ning Rongrong is relatively friendly within the group."

The Little Light Orb seemed to have anticipated Han Li's question, and proactively switched the image on the light screen to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Hmm, maybe I can see her when I go back this time."

Han Li glanced at it briefly before looking away, and said with a hint of wicked amusement.

"There's no need to look at the other people's situations. Just give me a brief overview."

Han Li gave up on his plan to observe them one by one. Most of them were currently in a state of cultivation, so he couldn't discern anything from them.

"The entire Shrek team has joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, replacing their second team and gaining the qualification to participate in the competition."

"Other teachers also joined, but they also took on the responsibility of teaching other students. Only Yu Xiaogang was still in charge of training the second team, but only as an assistant teacher. The responsibilities of team leader and teacher were taken over by Flender."

"And what about Liu Erlong? Be more specific."

Because the plot had changed from the original work, Han Li had to interrupt his Good Son's description and make him speak in more detail.

"Six months after you entered the Slaughter City, the Fourth Prince died unexpectedly in Xue Beng. Xue Ye was furious, but after failing to find anything, he became somewhat disheartened and began to gradually delegate power to the Crown Prince."

"Shrek Academy was invited to the Heaven Dou Academy by Qin Ming because of their victory over the Royal Heaven Dou Academy, and successfully became the second team."

"Although Yu Xiaogang does not meet the standards of a teacher, because of his background, the Three Great Education Committee still hired him as an assistant teacher after discussion, and he was only responsible for the training of the second team."

"The Crown Prince already knows about Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's identities. He even invited them to talk and promised to give them some help if they achieve good results."

The Little Light Orb spoke with a hint of doubt.

"Oh, that does suit Qian Renxue's personality."

Han Li shook his head and smiled, signaling it to continue.

"The Liu Erlong you mentioned spoke with Flender after the Shrek Academy arrived in Heaven Dou City, but because of her status, she cannot frequently visit the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the relationship between the three of them has not made any substantial progress at present."

"Moreover, Qian Renxue is consciously targeting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's forces, which has also affected Liu Erlong to some extent. After being refused entry multiple times, she returned in anger."

"As for Yu Xiaogang, he is still deliberately avoiding Liu Erlong, and as Tang San's luck declines, he has also been affected to some extent."

The Little Light Orb knew that Han Li had always paid close attention to Yu Xiaogang, so it spoke of him in detail.

"Okay, keep an eye on it. If anything interesting happens, remember to let me know."

Han Li stood up, ending the conversation.
