A Hundred Consecutive Victories, Someone from Above Arrives (Requesting Bookmarks and Follow-Reads)

This time, Gu Han made a small profit. Basically no one thought highly of him, and they had all placed their bets on Du Jun.

In just one match, Gu Han won three thousand Gold Soul Coins. It was practically easier than robbery.

Of course, among the bets at the Great Soul Arena, this was actually a small amount.

After all, it was only a one-on-one battle between Soul Grandmasters, not a team match between Soul Elders or even Soul Ancestors. No one had wagered much money.

But for Gu Han, this was still no small sum. He could use it to buy some thousand-year Whale Rubber to help strengthen his body.

Over the next half year, Gu Han won a hundred matches in a row, and his reputation soared.

Even the Spirit Hall in Dragon City took notice of Sword Gentleman, the newly risen Soul Grandmaster.

"Have you found Sword Gentleman's information?"

Kars, the local Spirit Hall Black Robe Bishop, spoke.

"We found it. Gu Han, 12 years old, Martial Soul: Mystic Ice Sword, Innate Soul Power level five. He is currently a level 23 Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster and an official member of Spirit Hall."

The subordinate Deacon read out Gu Han's information.

"Hmm? Innate level five, twelve years old, and he is already level 23!?"

Kars raised his brows, his tone somewhat astonished.

"Yes, it is indeed surprising. With merely an innate level-five talent, he has displayed talent no weaker than the top geniuses of the major sects."

"Lord Kars, should we send news of this child to Spirit City?"

The Deacon asked. Geniuses were rare, and a genius like Gu Han, one who defied common sense, was even rarer.

Those above might not notice this child so quickly, but if they knew and failed to report it, it would be difficult to explain when questions came later.

Kars lightly tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingers and nodded thoughtfully.

"Mm, it should indeed be reported."

Kars had spent a long time navigating Spirit Hall. He was merely reporting someone's information; even if it later turned out that Gu Han was not truly a genius, no blame would fall on him.

He sought no merit, only no mistakes.

"Alright, I'll send Gu Han's information to Spirit City immediately."

The Deacon was also a man of action. Seeing that the Bishop had no objections, he immediately took action.

Over the past half year, Gu Han had won a hundred consecutive matches, including victories over quite a few high-level Soul Elders. His record was terrifyingly impressive.

But after the final Soul Duel, Gu Han had no plans to continue for the time being.

Instead, he focused on consolidating the combat experience he had gained during this period.

Gu Han's Second Soul Skill was a defensive Soul Skill.

Originally, he had wanted to hunt a Snowy Ice Wolf, which possessed both attack and speed.

But plans could not keep up with changes. On the way to the Snowy Ice Wolves' habitat, they encountered a high-level Spirit Beast whose attributes were several times stronger than those of a Snowy Ice Wolf—an eight-hundred-year Black Tortoise.

So they changed their plans and hunted the Black Tortoise.

And that decision had been the right one. Gu Han obtained an area-based defensive Soul Skill, similar to Sword Douluo's Spirit Sword Guard. It was a fairly good Soul Skill.

Most importantly, he had gained another precious percentage bonus—ten percent to all attributes.

It was a guaranteed profit.

Gu Han did not lack attack-type Soul Skills. With the assistance of the Nameless Technique, he gradually came to understand the principles behind Soul Skills.

In the end, they were merely methods of using Soul Power.

And based on the sword techniques granted by the Nameless Technique, he created a set of Soul Skills unique to himself.

Mystic Ice Nine Slashes!

Each slash was twice as powerful as the one before it.

It was only in its rudimentary stage now, and its power would only grow greater in the future.

If not for the laws of this world, he would not even need to obtain Spirit Rings.

Although he had read about the idea of creating Spirit Rings himself in his previous life, and had also used the Nameless Technique to deduce it,

he had succeeded, but the results were unsatisfactory. It did not provide his Martial Soul with any enhancement, and its age was ordinary as well.

Most importantly, the Spirit Rings he condensed himself had the same nature as the Spirit Rings purified by the Nameless Technique after hunting.

They were nowhere near as convenient or powerful as hunted Spirit Rings, so he shattered them himself.

Moreover, he was now a member of Spirit Hall. Every Spirit Beast from which he obtained a Spirit Ring would be recorded.

If his special nature were discovered, it might be good for him, but it might also be bad. It was undoubtedly an unknown risk.

He did not like putting himself in such a situation, so he abandoned the idea of creating Spirit Rings himself.

When he opened his notebook, he found several love letters stuffed inside.

Without even looking at them, Gu Han threw them into the trash.

Children on the Douluo Continent matured so quickly. Because of his efforts and his relatively outstanding appearance, he had received countless love letters and confessions from girls ever since elementary school.

But he rejected them all. Women would only affect the speed at which he drew his sword.

Unless they were wealthy women like Bibi Dong, Ning Rongrong, or Qian Renxue, who could make him draw his sword faster, he would not consider any of them.

Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue were not even embryos yet. As for Bibi Dong, now was not the time for him to indulge in daydreams.

The two of them were not even people of the same world.

Besides, he truly could not understand the personality of Pope Qian Xunji. Who knew whether, after seeing Gu Han harbor improper intentions toward his Apprentice, he might arrange an accidental death for him?

Shook Head, he stopped thinking about such useless things.

Gu Han changed into training clothes and headed to the school's Mimicry Training Ground to practice his swordsmanship and continue refining his Mystic Ice Nine Slashes.

Mystic Ice Nine Slashes gathered the Ice Attribute Soul Power throughout his body onto the sword blade. With the percentage boosts of the First Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill, he unleashed nine consecutive sword strikes, like crashing waves, each strike stronger than the last.

The final strike gathered all the power of the previous eight. The nine slashes became one, unleashing a heaven-shaking blow.

The sword shattered the sky. Even the barrier of the mimicry environment trembled, leaving behind a sword mark that nearly split it open.

"Phew..."

After finishing his cultivation, Gu Han slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, ending today's training.

After returning to his dormitory, Gu Han took several medicinal herbs from the White Jade Pendant. After brewing them, he poured them into a wooden tub. He then ate a piece of century-old Whale Rubber and soaked himself in the medicinal bath, absorbing the essence of the plants to strengthen and relax his meridians.

Half an hour later, Gu Han slowly opened his eyes.

For the next half month, Gu Han focused on studying Martial Soul theory and refining Mystic Ice Nine Slashes.

That day, Gu Han was sitting quietly by the window in the back row, listening to the Teacher's lecture.

Just then, a middle-aged man knocked on the door and entered.

"Who is Gu Han?"

Gu Han frowned slightly and stood up under everyone's gaze. "I am Gu Han. May I ask who you are?"

"I am a Spirit Hall Deacon. Lord Kars wishes to see you. Can you come with me?"

The man took out his Spirit Hall identification booklet. He was actually a Soul Ancestor-level Deacon.

"I can, but may I ask why Bishop Kars wishes to see me now?"

Regarding Dragon City's Spirit Hall Bishop, Gu Han only knew his name and had never met him. The other party suddenly wanted to see him now, likely because of the stir caused by his hundred consecutive victories at the Great Soul Arena.

But even so, there was no need to be in such a hurry. It was not as if he would run away.

"A great figure has arrived from above. He heard about you and wants to see you."

Only Gu Han understood what the Deacon meant. Everyone else looked confused, having no idea what major event Gu Han had caused to alarm someone from above.

"Alright."

Gu Han nodded and did not refuse. After giving the Teacher a slight apologetic bow, he followed the Soul Ancestor out of the classroom.
