Elephant Armor Skill Wang Sheng

"My lord!"

The members of the Wang Clan were all shocked, rushing forward one after another.

Wang Lang finally snapped back to his senses, stepping forward quickly to help Wang Zhong up.

"Father! Are you alright?"

While filled with worry, the look Wang Lang cast toward Li Han now carried a hint of fear.

A simple straight punch had actually injured Wang Zhong while he was using his fourth soul skill; this level of strength was truly terrifying.

As for Li Han, his inner thoughts were: Even as Soul Ancestors, this pampered noble is far inferior to the Chen Niu I faced before.

"I have already blocked your fourth soul skill. Does anyone else want to give it a try? I don't mind playing with you all a bit longer."

Li Han's gaze swept over the crowd, and they all fearfully averted their eyes, not daring to meet his stare.

They were joking, right? Their strongest clan head had been defeated in a single move; how could they possibly dare to step up?

"Your Excellency possesses great strength; I concede. Let this matter end here. I will restrain Yue and ensure he no longer provokes your student."

Wang Zhong clutched his chest with his right hand, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his head bowed in a submissive posture.

"That is for the best. Farewell."

Having received a satisfactory response, Li Han couldn't be bothered with further pleasantries and turned to leave immediately.

"Father, are we just going to let it end like this? Not only was Wang Yue bullied, but now even you..."

Wang Lang's heart was filled with rage.

In this Exotic Beast City, when had their Wang Clan ever suffered such a massive loss?

"What else can we do? This person's strength is far above mine; I fear he is approaching the level of a Soul King. If our entire family attacked together, we would only be courting death. Furthermore, he was able to produce a Third-Class Token; the power behind him cannot be underestimated."

"Damn it! This is just too bullying!"

Wang Lang cursed angrily.

He failed to realize that his family had always bullied others in exactly the same way.

In fact, they had often gone much further than Li Han.

"Lang'er, we must swallow this loss for now. If we want to get our revenge, we must rely on you. You are not even twenty and already possess cultivation approaching that of a Soul Elder. If you cultivate diligently, you will surely break through to Soul Ancestor in the future, and perhaps even attempt to reach Soul King. Only then can our family rise to the next level and avoid being bullied like this."

"Father, I understand! I will definitely cultivate hard!"

"Good! With those words from you, I am happy even having lost today."

Wang Zhong forced a faint smile.

"As for that Wang Sheng, he is merely a commoner. Since someone is protecting him, let's leave him be for the time being. Once this person leaves and the heat dies down, there will always be an opportunity to deal with him. A commoner soul master like him still has to rely on the academy to hunt soul rings for him. If he were to die in the Soul Beast Forest, no one could say anything, could they?"

Wang Zhong sneered.

Though he had submitted on the surface, the fire of rage in his heart had not been extinguished.

He could not touch Li Han, but Wang Sheng was a different story.

It was not difficult for a noble to kill a commoner without getting linked to the act.

Wang Lang's eyes lit up.

"Father, you always have a way!"

"Naturally. This man is only standing up for his apprentice; how much could he possibly care about a commoner with mediocre talent? After some time, he will naturally forget. The only thing to watch out for is his apprentice. Go and investigate the background of that classmate of Wang Sheng's; I want to know how he managed to find such a teacher."

"Understood."

The crisis did not seem to be fully resolved, but Li Han was unaware of this.

At this moment, he had already found Wang Sheng.

"I had my teacher pay a visit to the Wang Clan, and the matter is more or less resolved."

"Ah? Really?"

Wang Sheng was both shocked and delighted. He had been worrying about how he would survive at Exotic Beast Academy, never expecting to receive such good news so suddenly.

"My teacher defeated the Wang Clan's patriarch, Wang Zhong, in a single move. They've conceded, so they shouldn't make a move against you again. However, at the end of the day, you must rely on your own ability to withstand all future crises. That is why my teacher asked me to inquire if you are willing to endure inhuman pain for the sake of cultivation. If you are willing, he can pass on a body-tempering technique to you. With this technique, your cultivation speed will increase, and your body will become increasingly formidable."

"I am willing!"

Wang Sheng agreed immediately, without a shred of hesitation. He knew that such an opportunity did not come around often. If he missed it this time, he would likely never have another chance in this lifetime. As for pain, what could be more painful than being lowly? As a commoner, he had to seize every opportunity!

"Good. Then you must promise not to tell anyone about my teacher, nor reveal the technique he passes on to you to anyone else."

"I promise!"

No sooner had Wang Sheng finished speaking than an ancient, rustic voice resonated directly within his mind. "Wang Sheng, since you are a friend of my student, This Seat will not treat you unfairly. I now pass on to you the body-tempering martial art, Elephant Armor Skill. I hope you cultivate it diligently and do not slack off."

As the words faded, the entire nine-level cultivation method of the Elephant Armor Skill was imprinted into Wang Sheng's mind.

"This..."

Wang Sheng looked on in disbelief, glancing left and right, yet he could see no one other than Li Han. If not for the profound Elephant Armor Skill still lingering in his mind, he would have assumed he had just experienced a hallucination.

"Don't be surprised; this is my teacher's method. He is a Soul Master proficient in spiritual power."

Seeing Wang Sheng so shocked, Li Han provided an explanation. This was naturally an operation he had performed using a divine sense technique to transmit the knowledge. The Elephant Armor Skill was a mundane martial art that anyone could practice, which was why Li Han had passed it to Wang Sheng. As for other immortal cultivation methods, Wang Sheng could not learn them, so Li Han naturally would not pass them on. Come to think of it, Wang Sheng had been identified as Zhang Tie by the system, and now Li Han had passed the Elephant Armor Skill to him. Perhaps this was destiny at work.

"So that's how it is! What an incredible method! To be able to imprint the contents of a technique directly into my mind—I couldn't forget it even if I wanted to."

Wang Sheng sighed repeatedly, feeling as though his worldview had been shaken.

"This technique is truly miraculous; the way it tempers the body is simply unbelievable."

Wang Sheng briefly reviewed the contents and was filled with wonder. Li Han had imprinted all the precautions for the Elephant Armor Skill into Wang Sheng's mind via his divine sense, allowing him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in his cultivation.

"Cultivate well. I look forward to you making a name for yourself at Exotic Beast Academy."

"I definitely will! Li Han, thank you. I know it is all because of you that your teacher was willing to pass such a powerful technique to me. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life!"

Wang Sheng spoke with a solemn expression, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Li Han merely smiled.

"Don't mention it. When I first entered Nuoding Academy and couldn't even get enough to eat, you helped me many times. I have always kept that in my heart. So, this debt of gratitude has already been repaid."

"It's not the same. A few meals are nothing compared to this technique. I know you will surely be stronger than me in the future, but I still want to say that if one day you need me, I will definitely be by your side. Even if it means dying for you, I will never frown! This is my promise to you, Wang Sheng, and it will never change."

Seeing the sincerity on Wang Sheng's face, a slight warmth stirred in Li Han's heart. He knew that the person he had helped was a man of loyalty and honor, and would be his friend for life.
