A Recreated Iconic Scene, Broad Hill's Wild Speculation

A Recreated Iconic Scene, Broad Hill's Wild Speculation

They raced all the way. A journey that required Han Li to proceed cautiously and took nearly a full day was reduced to less than half an hour under Broad Hill's formidable strength, and they soon returned to the outer region.

Broad Hill was even thoughtful enough to adjust their location, choosing an area where almost no one would venture and driving away the low-level soul beasts nearby.

During the time Broad Hill carried them toward the outer region, Han Li did not remain idle. Instead, he closed his eyes and adjusted his condition. He wanted to face the coming moment in his most perfect state.

As Broad Hill set the two of them down, Han Li opened his eyes as well. His condition had fully recovered.

Broad Hill glanced at him, then at the Golden Scale Eagle, which showed signs of waking up, and said, "Begin. I'll stand guard for you."

"Yes, Master."

As Han Li answered, his bow was already drawn. A solid Rocket Arrow instantly pierced through the Golden Scale Eagle's eye and penetrated its skull, releasing flames from within that destroyed its brain in an instant.

Still asleep, the Golden Scale Eagle lost its Life in utter confusion, not even having the chance to let out a final cry.

Looking at the purple soul ring rising from the Golden Scale Eagle's corpse, then at the concern in his master's eyes, Han Li took a deep breath. Without hesitation, he moved a little closer, sat cross-legged, and used the aura of his martial soul to draw in the soul ring.

In an instant, Han Li felt the same sensation as when he absorbed his First Soul Ring. Violent energy, many times stronger than before, poured into his body and actively drove his Soul Power into circulation. Fortunately, his Spiritual Power and control were far stronger than during his first absorption, and he immediately began guiding it himself.

With both his Spiritual Power and physique meeting the requirements, Han Li did not find the absorption particularly difficult.

He began actively observing his own condition. As Soul Power circulated rapidly through his body, he noticed corresponding changes taking place in his meridians. With each cycle of Soul Power, his meridians were continuously widened, making him feel as though he were clearing silt from a riverbed and opening up the waterway.

No wonder everyone pursued the optimal soul ring configuration. Some people with decent talent were even stuck at certain levels because their early soul rings were inadequate. So that was why, Han Li realized.

He had previously thought it was simply because the soul rings' age was too low, preventing the martial soul from improving. It seemed the widening of the body's meridians was also a factor. It was just that no one else on Douluo Continent had this concept.

Outside, Broad Hill watched his disciple, who showed no abnormalities, and sensed his aura steadily rising. He relaxed slightly. Though he approved of Han Li's decision, he could not help worrying.

The sun had already shifted from directly overhead to the treetops of the forest. More than two hours had passed since Han Li began absorbing the soul ring. Seeing that the Soul Power around him had stabilized and was no longer leaking out, Broad Hill finally let go of the worry in his heart.

Suddenly, Han Li's eyes snapped open. His right eye lit up, seemingly accompanied by an eagle's cry. Broad Hill halted mid-step and froze where he stood, his expression an indescribable mix of delight and disbelief.

He knew this scene far too well. When Han Li absorbed his First Soul Ring last time, the same thing had happened, and then he had obtained an External Soul Bone comparable to a 100,000 Year Soul Ring or Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

And now, it seemed to be happening again. It was still in his right eye. Could it be another External Soul Bone?

Broad Hill unconsciously reached toward his own left eye. Thankfully, he could still accept this time. He could accept it.

Accept my ass. Broad Hill desperately wanted to swear, even if it was his own disciple receiving the benefits.

This was simply too absurd. He had never seen anyone reliably obtain a Soul Bone every time they gained a soul ring, much less twice in a row, and both times they were growth-type External Soul Bones.

If Han Li's background had not been so clean, and if he had not had absolutely nothing to do with the Qian Family, Broad Hill would have thought Han Li was the reincarnation of the Angel God. Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue could both step aside. His disciple was the true orthodox successor of Spirit Hall, the inheritor of the Angel God.

After all, he also possessed an External Soul Bone, but it was incomplete. It had no growth potential and was only slightly over ten thousand years old. When he absorbed it, he had nearly paid with his Life. In the end, he could not casually open his left eye under normal circumstances. Compared with others, he merely had an extra Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, though it suited his combat style extremely well.

Even so, the other worshippers had envied him tremendously. But Han Li? He was like a wholesale dealer of External Soul Bones, getting one every time.

Oh, right. Even the little maid beside him had one. Though that heart, which he did not know whether it counted as a Soul Bone, had lost its growth potential after awakening her bloodline, the leap from being unable to cultivate to possessing a Crystal Bear martial soul with Innate Level 8 Soul Power was terrifying enough.

He had only broken through after taking Han Li as his disciple, and could even cultivate smoothly all the way to level ninety-eight. Could Xiao Li really be some god's reincarnation? Could he bless those close to him?

The more Broad Hill thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. As he watched Han Li, who was still fusing with the Soul Bone, his gaze became somewhat strange. It was simply too bizarre. Without thinking this way, he truly could not explain it.

Just as Broad Hill wildly imagined things and brainwashed himself, Han Li finally completed the absorption of the Soul Bone and opened his eyes.

The moment he looked up, ready to share the good news with his master, he saw Broad Hill staring fixedly at him, his face full of scrutiny.

What was wrong with Master? Why did he look so strange?

Han Li hurriedly climbed to his feet and asked, "Master, what is this about?"

Then he heard Broad Hill say seriously, "Xiao Li, how do you think I've treated you?"

"You've naturally treated me extremely well," Han Li answered without hesitation.

"Then tell me honestly, Xiao Li. Are you some god's reincarnation?" Broad Hill's expression was utterly serious.

So that's what this is about. Looks like I really shocked him. Han Li could not help laughing. "Master, you're overthinking it. I'm just lucky."

"Just lucky? External Soul Bones. Two of them. And you're telling me it's just luck?"

At Han Li's answer, Broad Hill's handsome little face twisted slightly.

"Yeah. Ever since my Martial Soul Awakening, I've really been quite lucky. I keep finding money. The few times I went down the mountain, I picked up nearly ten Gold Soul Coins in Spirit City alone." Han Li spread his hands helplessly.

"You can not only get Soul Bones, but you can also find money?"

Broad Hill finally abandoned his theory that Han Li was a god's reincarnation. He stood there with a blank expression. Even gods probably did not have that ability.

"Mm, I don't know what's going on either. As I walk along, Gold Soul Coins just roll beneath my feet. That's why I said the Angel God is watching over me."

Han Li recounted the times he had found money, then fell back on the explanation he had used before.

Seeing Han Li's sincere expression and finding no sign of deception, Broad Hill became completely numb and lost the motivation to keep asking.

He found money while shopping, awakened External Soul Bones whenever he broke through, and even those around him benefited one after another. Han Li himself found it strange, so there was no point in questioning him further.

Broad Hill himself was one of the beneficiaries. What else could he say? He only had to remind Han Li not to let anyone else discover it.

With that thought, Broad Hill's expression grew much more serious. He looked at Han Li and said solemnly, "In the future, remember to hide things like this. Unless there's truly no other way, don't let anyone else know again. The same goes for Xiu'er. Mm, you don't need to tell me either. Remember, anyone. Understand?"

Seeing how serious his master was, warmth surged through Han Li's heart. He nodded earnestly and silently added, Sorry.

He would not tell anyone the secrets he carried. He could only make it up to his master later. Otherwise, he truly would not deserve such heartfelt words.
