Fireball Talisman

With the magical tool complete, Li Han could not wait to take out the talisman paper and cinnabar to begin crafting the Fireball Talisman.

I failed this morning, so this time I must succeed!

Li Han held the Bamboo Bone Pen in his right hand and pressed the talisman paper down with his left. Dipping the tip of the pen into the cinnabar, he immediately began to carve the pattern of the Fireball Talisman onto the paper.

It was done in one breath!

The pen lifted, and the talisman was complete!

A faint red light flickered across the flame pattern on the paper before it stabilized.

Li Han's eyes lit up. He immediately injected a trace of his soul power into the talisman and threw it out!

Whoosh!

The Fireball Talisman flew out and struck a small tree, which instantly exploded and snapped in two, the break charred black.

"This power is basically identical to me casting the Fireball Technique myself."

Li Han was overjoyed, knowing that his Fireball Talisman was a complete success.

He calculated the remaining materials on hand and realized he could still make about ten more Fireball Talismans.

"If I were to unleash ten Fireball Talismans at once, even a Soul Elder would be reduced to Soul Elder fragments. If I catch them by surprise, a single one could blast right through a Soul Elder!"

Heh, another trump card added.

"Besides the Fireball Talisman, low-level talismans like the Ice Cone Talisman, Golden Light Talisman, Godly Travel Talisman, and Sound Transmission Talisman are all quite practical. If I can find suitable soul beast essence blood, I can try making those too. I should visit the markets in Nuoding City more often during this time; perhaps I can acquire more soul beast essence blood. After all, soul masters eat soul beast meat to replenish their vitality, so buying essence blood shouldn't be difficult. Of course, the most important thing is to make more talisman paper."

Fortunately, he had brought back plenty of medicinal herbs from the Soul Hunting Forest, enough to keep him busy for a while.

It had been another day full of gains.

When Li Han returned to Dorm Seven, he found that Tang San had already arrived and had just lost to Xiao Wu.

"Li Han, you're back? We have a new member in Dorm Seven. His name is Tang San, his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and he has Innate Full Soul Power! But, he still lost to me, heh. Am I amazing?"

Xiao Wu wore an expression begging for praise. Li Han smiled, patted her head, and gave her a thumbs-up.

"Amazing! Big Sister Xiao Wu is truly worthy of the name."

"That's right!"

It was fortunate Xiao Wu didn't have a tail, or it would surely be wagging in the air.

Tang San looked at Li Han. Because of Yu Xiaogang, his impression of him was already poor, and seeing the close relationship between Li Han and Xiao Wu made him feel even more displeased.

It felt as if something that should have belonged to him had been snatched away.

"Are you Li Han? I've heard my teacher mention you."

Tang San didn't overthink it and stepped forward to ask directly.

"That's me. And your teacher is?"

Li Han feigned ignorance.

"The Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang."

"What? Your teacher is the Grandmaster? His cultivation isn't exactly impressive. Don't let him fool you."

Wang Sheng, standing to the side, couldn't help but chime in.

"This is the first time, and I hope it is the last. If you don't want to spar with me, you had best not judge my teacher so casually."

Tang San's expression turned cold.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng gave an awkward laugh and didn't dare say anything more.

He had just witnessed Tang San's capabilities. Even though he had lost to Xiao Wu, he certainly wasn't a match for him.

Li Han frowned.

"Tang San, is it? You're being a bit too overbearing. Wang Sheng was only speaking the truth; there is no need for you to take such an attitude. A man nearly fifty years old who hasn't even broken through to level thirty can hardly be called powerful, can he? Besides, Wang Sheng was worried you were being deceived and was only trying to advise you out of good intentions. If you don't accept it, fine, but why threaten him? Could it be that you think you can bully others just because you believe you're strong?"

"Exactly, exactly! Wang Sheng is under my protection, why would you say that about him? That Grandmaster doesn't have a good reputation in the school anyway."

Xiao Wu immediately joined the fray.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng felt a wave of emotion. It felt so good to have a boss and brothers.

"No matter what others think of Grandmaster, he is the teacher I acknowledge, and I will not allow you to insult him. It makes me very uncomfortable."

Tang San's temper flared as he continued to defend him.

"If speaking the truth is an insult, then stay uncomfortable. We respect your choice, and we hope you respect ours."

"You!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and Wang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. Having been a dormitory head before, he had done this many times.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down. We're all in the same dorm from now on, let's not fight. If there's an issue, let's talk it out properly."

But Tang San did not appreciate the gesture, pointing instead at Li Han.

"I want to challenge you! If I win, you must apologize to my teacher!"

"And if you lose?"

Li Han's expression was cold.

"If I lose... I..."

Tang San couldn't come up with a wager on the spot.

"If there's no stake, what's the point of a challenge?"

Li Han had no interest.

"Wait! If you win, I'll give you something! It will definitely be a huge boost to your strength."

Tang San suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.

"Oh? What kind of thing?"

Li Han asked with interest.

"I'll tell you after you win."

"Fine, then I'll play along."

Seeing Tang San like this, Li Han knew that if he didn't accept the challenge, it would likely be endless trouble later. Since that was the case, he might as well play along. Besides, he also wanted to see these so-called hidden weapons for himself.

Seeing Li Han agree, Tang San was instantly delighted. He wanted to defeat Li Han not just to make him apologize to Grandmaster, but also because a voice in his heart told him he had to prove he was stronger than Li Han.

"Li Han, are you sure about this? This kid is pretty tough. Even Sister Xiao Wu had to put in some effort to fight him just now."

Wang Sheng looked worried.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Just relax, Wang Sheng! Li Han is very strong, he'll definitely win!"

Xiao Wu was full of confidence in Li Han. After all, she had lost to Li Han just yesterday, so she knew his strength best. Moreover, she could tell that in yesterday's battle, Li Han hadn't even used his full power. He hadn't even used a soul skill.

Seeing Xiao Wu being so intimate with Li Han, Tang San frowned slightly.

"Let's start!"

Tang San urged.

"Fine."

Li Han stepped forward and beckoned to Tang San.

"Come on."

Tang San didn't stand on ceremony, unleashing Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to instantly close the distance and throw a punch at Li Han's face.

The speed was quite fast; an ordinary Spirit Master would certainly find it hard to resist.

But for Li Han, it was not enough.

Is this the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track? Compared to the Smoke-Drifting Steps, it seems a bit lacking.

Thinking this, Li Han tilted his head slightly, easily dodging the force of the punch, and immediately followed up with a whip kick aimed at Tang San's lower abdomen.

Tang San's pupils constricted. He immediately activated the Mysterious Jade Hand, his hands turning the color of jade as he crossed them in front of his chest, yet he was still sent flying several meters by the kick.

He performed a somersault in mid-air before finally steadying his figure.

His reaction speed is actually this fast. And, what immense strength.

After cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, all aspects of my physical constitution have been enhanced, yet I still can't compare to him?

Tang San was shocked, feeling a dull ache in his hands.

However, he did not pause for even a second, launching another attack instead.

He unleashed the full extent of the Tang Sect's combat techniques, fists and feet working in tandem, continuous and unending.

Li Han, however, was not the least bit afraid. With a wave of his right hand, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo appeared. He gripped it backhanded like a dagger and used the Blinking Sword Technique to dismantle Tang San's offensive one move at a time.

After a dozen moves in a row, Tang San had not managed to gain the slightest advantage.

He actually knows sword techniques? Is that bamboo his Martial Soul?

No, if this continues, I'm bound to lose.

I must end this with one decisive blow!

I have no choice but to use hidden weapons.

A flash of purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes as he straightened his right hand, aiming it at Li Han's left leg.

Silent Sleeve Arrow!
