The Special Function of the Nameless Technique (Requesting Collections, Requesting Follow-Reads)

"Great! Then, Grandpa Markel, when are we setting out?"

Gu Han's heart leaped with joy when he heard Markel say that there happened to be a suitable target for him in the Soul Hunting Forest, and that its age was appropriate as well. He even put on an excited expression for show.

Sure enough, when Master Markel saw Gu Han's appearance, his heart immediately felt refreshed. He really is still just a child. There's a certain joy in raising him.

"Haha, there's no time to waste. I can arrange some people right now to take you to the Soul Hunting Forest. No, I'll personally take you this time."

"Thank you, Grandpa Markel." Gu Han gave a slight bow.

"Hey, there's no need to be so formal between us."

Markel waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for further pleasantries.

After making some simple preparations, Markel summoned a carriage and two Deacons at the level of Soul Grandmasters, then took Gu Han toward the Soul Hunting Forest outside the city.

Of course, Lu Rentao was one of them. The other Soul Grandmaster was a defense-type Soul Grandmaster whose Martial Soul was an Ice Turtle.

One Soul Ancestor and two Soul Grandmasters made for an extremely luxurious lineup in this remote little town.

After passing through the guards and entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Master Markel said, "Xiao Han, stay in the middle of the three of us and remain alert to your surroundings."

"Okay."

Gu Han nodded. Although this was only a small Soul Hunting Forest, where the Spirit Beasts were at most seven hundred years old, caution was always necessary. He still had to maintain the vigilance he should have.

The Soul Hunting Forest here differed from those inland. Although it was already spring, the inside of the forest remained blanketed in snow, with bone-chilling winds.

With the assistance of the Spirit Hall, they knew the habitats of the Spirit Beasts here like the backs of their hands. They soon arrived at the edge of an Ice Lake.

"This is the habitat of those two Ice Crystal Hedgehogs. Stay alert."

As Master Markel's voice fell, the group immediately responded and summoned their respective Martial Souls.

Master Markel's Martial Soul was a white Polar Bear. After possessing him, his entire body grew from that of a little old man just over a meter tall to over two meters tall, with white-brown fur growing across his body.

Lu Rentao's Martial Soul was a Snow Wolf. Gu Han had seen it when Lu Rentao awakened his Martial Soul back then, especially those bloodthirsty green eyes, which had frightened several children into tears at the time.

The other Soul Grandmaster's appearance made the corner of Gu Han's mouth twitch. He desperately held back his laughter and turned his head away, refusing to look at the man.

That Soul Grandmaster looked as though he had put on a layer of turtle shell. He looked exactly like a giant softshell turtle that had gained sentience.

Gu Han also summoned his Martial Soul, the Mystic Ice Sword. Since it was a Weapon Soul, his physical features did not change at all.

Lu Rentao and the other Soul Grandmaster stood behind Gu Han on either side, while Master Markel walked alone in front, keeping Gu Han protected in the very center.

Eventually, they discovered a cave on the opposite side of the Ice Lake.

"This should be the Ice Crystal Hedgehogs' cave."

Master Markel sensed a powerful Soul Power Fluctuation inside the cave and said sternly, "All of you, fall back!"

As he spoke, Master Markel's Second Soul Ring lit up, and a Polar Bear appeared behind him, roaring toward the sky.

"Second Soul Skill, Bear Shock!!"

Master Markel roared furiously and slammed a fist into the ground. The earth immediately shook violently, and a small hedgehog over thirty centimeters long was blasted out.

This was the small Ice Crystal Hedgehog that was less than a hundred years old. Seeing that the larger one had yet to emerge, Master Markel immediately reached out with his large hand, preparing to attack it.

"Roar!!"

With a furious roar, more than a dozen Frost Sword Qi shot out from the cave entrance.

Immediately afterward, the cave entrance burst apart, and a white hedgehog over three meters tall flew out. Four sword-shaped spines protruded from its back, clearly showing that it had reached four hundred years of age.

The true target had finally appeared.

"Prepare for battle!"

The four of them immediately entered a guarded stance and confronted the four-hundred-year-old Ice Crystal Hedgehog.

The small Ice Crystal Hedgehog had already fled deep into the forest without looking back.

"Go!"

Master Markel shouted, and the other three immediately unleashed their strongest Soul Skills, launching an attack on the Ice Crystal Hedgehog.

"Roar!!!"

The Ice Crystal Hedgehog roared furiously. The spikes on its back shot out in all directions, forcing Lu Rentao and the other Soul Grandmaster back.

Master Markel furiously brought down both bear paws, smashing apart all the Ice Crystal Sword Qi that came at him.

Since the Ice Crystal Hedgehog's attack covered a wide area, Gu Han was also within its range.

"Not good!"

The three of them naturally noticed Gu Han's situation. The Child was indeed a Genius, but no matter how talented he was, he was still only a level-ten Soul Scholar without a Spirit Ring. How could he possibly withstand the attack of a four-hundred-year-old Spirit Beast?

"Xiao Han, get out of the way!"

Master Markel was the first to react. He charged toward Gu Han while shouting a warning.

Gu Han's gaze sharpened. He activated a special footwork technique beneath his feet, dodging most of the Ice Crystal Sword Qi. For the attacks he could not avoid, Gu Han circulated all his Soul Power and swung the Mystic Ice Sword, cleaving them apart.

Fortunately, it was only a four-hundred-year-old Spirit Beast. Relying on the powerful Soul Power brought by the Nameless Technique, Gu Han could still withstand it.

Seeing this, the three of them were all slightly astonished. They had never expected Gu Han to withstand this wave of attacks on his own.

That was a four-hundred-year-old Spirit Beast, and a relatively powerful one at that. Yet a level-ten Soul Scholar who had not even become a Spirit Master had actually endured its attack.

Could this be the difference between a Genius and an ordinary person?

Although the Ice Crystal Hedgehog was not considered powerful among Ice Attribute Spirit Beasts, it was still considerably stronger than ordinary Spirit Beasts.

After cleaving apart several streams of sword qi in succession, Gu Han's arm began to tingle faintly.

At that moment, Master Markel successfully returned to reinforce him. His tall body stood in front of Gu Han, and his heavy bear paws swept out, knocking away all the sword qi.

"Second Soul Skill, Tear!!"

Lu Rentao shouted and abruptly swung both claws. Intersecting claw marks tore toward the Ice Crystal Hedgehog, forcing it to stop its attack.

Although the Ice Crystal Hedgehog was powerful, it ultimately could not hold out for long against the combined assault of one Soul Ancestor and two Soul Grandmasters.

"Roar~"

With a mournful cry, the Ice Crystal Hedgehog's enormous body collapsed to the ground. Aside from a faint breath, it could no longer move at all.

"Xiao Han, hurry and deliver the final blow!"

Seeing this, Master Markel immediately urged him on. Because the Ice Crystal Hedgehog had been too troublesome, even he had used every means at his disposal and had found it nearly impossible to hold back. If they delayed any longer and the Ice Crystal Hedgehog died on its own, all their efforts would be wasted.

Gu Han naturally understood the urgency of the situation. He walked in front of the Ice Crystal Hedgehog, took a deep breath, and suddenly thrust the sword into its head.

Soon, a yellow Spirit Ring slowly condensed above the Ice Crystal Hedgehog.

"Xiao Han, sit cross-legged, calm your mind, and use your Soul Power to guide the Spirit Ring and establish a connection with you."

"Okay."

Gu Han nodded, sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Ring, and began absorbing it with his eyes closed.

The other three stood nearby, protecting Gu Han as he cultivated.

The absorption of the Spirit Ring proceeded smoothly, without any sign of pain. However, Gu Han secretly furrowed his brows.

That was because he could feel the book of the Nameless Technique in his mind suddenly beginning to glow. This was the first time anything like this had happened.

The energy of the Spirit Ring was quickly refined and entered Gu Han's Dantian. At the same time, an inexplicable skill appeared in his mind, which was most likely his Soul Skill.

However, he discovered something very interesting: the Spirit Ring had not attached itself to his body. Instead, it had appeared inside the book in his mind.

At the same time, some strange knowledge had appeared in his mind. The Nameless Technique could simulate a Spirit Ring while also slowly increasing its age based on the Nameless Technique.
