Changes Brought by the First Soul Skill and the Nameless Technique (Requesting Bookmarks, Requesting Follow-Reads)

Noticing Gu Han frown, Lu Rentao could not help asking worriedly.

"Master Markel, Xiao Han won't be in danger absorbing a four-hundred-year First Soul Ring, will he?"

After all, Gu Han was truly considerate. Last year, with his advice, Lu Rentao had successfully won over the goddess he had pursued for years.

"I believe this child can do it."

Master Markel was not entirely certain either, but this was clearly Gu Han's most critical moment. Interrupting him rashly would only ruin the child's future.

They could only wait a little longer.

Markel stared fixedly at Gu Han, not daring to miss the slightest detail in his expression.

If anything went wrong, then even at the risk of ruining the child's future, he had to save his life.

Half an hour passed before Gu Han finally converted and absorbed all the energy from the Spirit Ring. The Meridians throughout his body had transformed from little streams into riverbeds, allowing him to store several times more Soul Power than before.

The moment Gu Han opened his eyes, he saw three large faces staring at him. He jumped in fright, startling the three of them as well.

Once he recognized them, Gu Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandpa Markel, Brother Tao, Brother Hai, I succeeded."

"Good, good, good! I knew you could do it." Markel stroked his beard, putting on the air of an expert who had known all along.

Lu Rentao and Gui Hai secretly rolled their eyes. His brows had nearly been able to crush flies just moments ago...

"Enough of that. Xiao Han, what is your First Soul Skill?"

Noticing Lu Rentao and Gui Hai's looks, Markel gave a light cough and smoothly changed the subject.

At those words, everyone's attention immediately shifted to Gu Han. They were eager to see what kind of Soul Skill a Hundred-Year First Ring had granted him.

Hearing this, Gu Han summoned the Mystic Ice Sword. Then, a simulated Hundred-Year Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.

"My First Soul Skill is Mystic Ice Sword Qi. It can coat the blade with Frost Sword Qi, and the sword qi can be released outward. Its attack power is increased by ten percent."

As Gu Han spoke, the Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up. A layer of frost covered the deep-blue blade, and then he swung it toward the nearby Big Stone.

In an instant, the Big Stone, as tall as a person, was cleaved in two. The cut between the halves was smooth as a mirror, covered in translucent ice crystals that gave off a chilling cold.

"What a sharp sword..."

"As expected of a Hundred-Year Soul Ring..."

Markel and the other two were all stunned. It was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a powerful First Soul Skill.

Perhaps only the core geniuses of Spirit Hall, the Seven Great Sects, and the Two Great Empires could compare.

But such geniuses were simply too rare. They might never see one in their lives.

"Good, good, good! Excellent! Cold Wind City has produced a Genius too!"

Coming back to his senses, Markel said "good" three times in a row, showing just how excited he was.

"If not for Grandpa Markel and my two elder brothers helping me, I couldn't have obtained such a good Soul Ring either."

Though Gu Han was somewhat delighted inwardly, he did not become carried away. He humbly scratched the back of his head.

However, there was something he had not said: with the help of the Nameless Technique, both his Soul Ring and Soul Skill attributes would slowly grow stronger.

This was also his greatest reliance and secret.

"Haha, no need to be so polite with us. Just don't forget us when you make it big someday." Lu Rentao jokingly put an arm around Gu Han's shoulders.

Having obtained his First Soul Ring, Gu Han had visibly grown taller. He was already around one and a half meters tall, even though he was only seven years old.

No wonder children on Douluo Continent matured so early. Perhaps Soul Rings were partly responsible.

After absorbing each Soul Ring, a person's physical constitution also improved greatly.

"Don't worry. Once I become powerful in the future, I certainly won't forget everyone's support today."

Gu Han smiled. He knew Lu Rentao was joking, though there was naturally some sincerity in it as well. Gu Han gave his promise in return, since he would still be staying here for several more years.

Besides, he was not the sort of person who would grow stronger and then look down on those who had helped him in the past.

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Han's words, all three of them wore gratified smiles. Lu Rentao patted Gu Han on the shoulder.

"Alright, I was only joking. Let's go. Once we return and register you, you'll be a true Spirit Master."

"Mm."

The three of them did not linger any longer. They left the Soul Hunting Forest, boarded a carriage, and returned to Spirit Hall in the city.

After going through the familiar registration process, Gu Han received his own Martial Soul Handbook. Every Spirit Master of Spirit Hall possessed one, and it represented their identity.

The Token in his hand still bore only A Sword, the lowest-grade emblem. He could use it as proof of identity in the future and collect one Gold Soul Coin each month from any Martial Soul Sub-Hall as a Soul Master Subsidy.

After completing the registration, Gu Han bid the three farewell and returned to the school alone.

After returning to the school, Gu Han did not head to the classroom. Instead, he went back to his dormitory.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, he calmed himself and sank his consciousness into his mind.

The circumstances earlier had been rather unusual, so Gu Han had not hurried to examine the changes brought by the Nameless Technique.

The jade-white Nameless Book lay quietly within his mind. His gaze turned to the second page of the Nameless Technique, where a yellow Soul Ring was slowly rotating.

When he infused Soul Power into it, the Soul Ring did not change much, but Gu Han could clearly sense that its age had increased slightly.

"What exactly is this book?"

Gu Han frowned. This book had appeared when he awakened his Martial Soul.

He had suspected it might be his second Martial Soul, but after thinking it over, he rejected that idea.

What kind of Martial Soul came with a cultivation technique?

Now, this thing had even recorded the Soul Ring that should have been placed around the Mystic Ice Sword, retaining only its enhancement effect on the Mystic Ice Sword.

On the surface, no one would notice anything unusual about him.

After acquiring his First Soul Ring, the nameless scripture he cultivated had also gained an attribute, further strengthening his power.

This Nameless Technique was simply too mysterious. Gu Han had repeatedly speculated about its origins. Perhaps his transmigration was connected to this book of the Nameless Technique.

After a long while, Gu Han opened his eyes.

His Soul Power had now reached level 11. With Innate Soul Power at level 5, he had become a One-Ring Spirit Master in just a single year. This speed was undoubtedly much faster than that of Spirit Masters with the same talent.

Afterward, Gu Han carefully sensed his current condition. The Soul Power he had cultivated before was now transforming into an Ice Attribute.

"If all my future Soul Rings come from Ice Attribute Spirit Beasts, perhaps I can evolve my Martial Soul into Ultimate Ice."

Originally, Gu Han had merely planned to strengthen his Martial Soul's attributes as much as possible. He had not been confident that he could evolve his Martial Soul into an ultimate attribute.

But this development changed his previous thinking. This Nameless Technique was even more helpful to him than he had imagined.
