Fireball Talisman

The Dharma Artifact was complete. Li Han eagerly took out the talisman paper and cinnabar and began drawing a Fireball Talisman.

"I failed this morning. This time, it has to work!"

Li Han held the Bamboo Bone Pen in his right hand and pressed down on the talisman paper with his left. He dipped the tip into the cinnabar and immediately drew the pattern of a Fireball Talisman.

In one smooth motion!

The pen fell, and the talisman was complete!

The flame pattern on the talisman paper flashed with a faint red glow, then settled down.

Li Han's eyes lit up. He immediately infused the talisman with a tiny amount of Soul Power, then hurled it away!

Whoosh!

The Fireball Talisman flew out and struck a small tree. The tree exploded at once, snapping in two, its broken end charred black.

"Its power is basically identical to when I use the Fireball Technique myself."

Li Han was delighted. His Fireball Talisman had finally succeeded.

He counted the materials he had left. There was enough to make about ten more Fireball Talismans.

"If I throw ten Fireball Talismans at once, even a Soul Elder would be blown into pieces.

If I catch them off guard, just one could blast a hole right through a Soul Elder!"

Heh heh, one more trump card.

"Besides the Fireball Talisman, low-tier talismans like the Ice Cone Talisman, Golden Light Talisman, Godly Travel Talisman, and Sound Transmission Talisman are all quite useful.

If I can get the right Soul Beast blood, I can give them a try.

I should visit the markets in Nuoding City more often these days. Maybe I'll find more Soul Beast blood.

After all, Soul Masters eat Soul Beast meat to replenish their blood and energy, so buying Soul Beast blood probably won'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. There was enough to keep him busy for a while.

Another day full of gains.

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

"Li Han, you're back! We've got another member in Dorm Seven. His name is Tang San, and his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. He has Innate Full Soul Power!

"But he still lost to me, hehe. I'm amazing, right?"

Xiao Wu looked like she was waiting for praise. Li Han smiled, patted her on the head, and gave her a thumbs-up.

"Impressive! As expected of Sister Xiao Wu."

"You bet!"

Thankfully, Xiao Wu didn't have a tail at that moment, or it would surely have been sticking straight up.

Tang San looked at Li Han. Because of Yu Xiaogang, he already had a poor impression of him. Seeing how close Li Han and Xiao Wu were only made him more displeased.

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

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

Tang San didn't think much of it and walked straight up to ask.

"That's me. Who's your teacher?"

Li Han pretended not to know.

"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang."

"What? Your teacher is Grandmaster? His cultivation isn't much to speak of. Don't tell me he tricked you."

Wang Sheng couldn't help chiming in.

"This is the first time, and I hope it's the last. If you don't want to spar with me, then don't go around passing judgment on my teacher."

Tang San's expression turned cold.

Wang Sheng gave an awkward smile and said no more.

He had just seen what Tang San could do.

Though Tang San had lost to Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng knew he wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Li Han frowned.

"So you're Tang San? You're being a little too overbearing.

"Wang Sheng was only telling the truth. Why act like that?

"You're nearly fifty and still haven't broken through level thirty. How can anyone call that great strength?

"Besides, Wang Sheng was worried you'd been deceived. He was only trying to help.

"You don't have to take his advice, but why threaten him?

"Do you think being stronger means you can bully people?"

"Exactly! Wang Sheng's under my protection. Why are you talking to him like that?

"That Grandmaster doesn't have a good reputation around the school."

Xiao Wu jumped right in.

Wang Sheng felt a rush of gratitude.

Having a leader and a brother felt great.

"No matter what others think of Grandmaster, he's a teacher I respect, and I won't let you insult him.

"It makes me very uncomfortable."

Tang San was getting angry too and continued to defend him.

"If telling the truth counts as an insult, then you can keep feeling uncomfortable.

"We respect your choice, so we hope you'll respect ours."

"You!"

The atmosphere grew tense. Wang Sheng hurried over to smooth things over.

He had been the dorm leader before, so he had dealt with this kind of thing plenty of times.

"Okay, okay, everyone calm down. We're all going to live in the same dorm. Let's not fight.

"Whatever the issue is, we can talk it out."

But Tang San wouldn't let it go. Instead, he pointed at Li Han.

"I challenge you! If I win, you have to 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 anything to wager.

"If you have nothing to wager, what's the point of challenging me?"

Li Han wasn't interested.

"Wait! If you win, I'll give you something! It'll definitely make you much stronger."

Tang San suddenly thought of something and hurriedly added.

"Oh? What is it?"

Li Han asked with interest.

"I'll tell you after you beat me."

"Fine. I'll humor you."

Seeing Tang San's determination, Li Han knew that if he refused the challenge, Tang San would keep pestering him.

In that case, he might as well have some fun.

He also wanted to see these so-called Hidden Weapons for himself.

When Li Han agreed, Tang San was delighted.

He wanted to defeat Li Han not only to make him apologize to Grandmaster, but also because a voice inside him told him to prove he was stronger than Li Han.

"Li Han, are you sure you can handle him? He's pretty good.

"Even Sister Xiao Wu had to work at it when she fought him just now."

Wang Sheng looked worried.

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

"Don't worry, Wang Sheng! Li Han's really strong. He'll definitely win!"

Xiao Wu had complete faith in Li Han.

After all, she had lost to him just yesterday and knew his strength better than anyone.

Besides, she could tell that Li Han hadn't even used all his strength in their fight.

He hadn't even used a Soul Skill.

Seeing how affectionate Xiao Wu was toward Li Han, Tang San frowned slightly.

"Let's start!"

Tang San urged him on.

"Fine."

Li Han stepped forward and beckoned Tang San over.

"Come on."

Tang San didn't hold back. He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and instantly closed the distance, throwing a punch at Li Han's face.

He was fast. An ordinary Soul Warrior would have had a hard time defending against that.

But against Li Han, it wasn't enough.

"So this is Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track? Compared to Smoke-Drifting Steps, it seems a little lacking."

Thinking this, Li Han tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the punch. Then he swung a kick at Tang San's stomach.

Tang San's pupils contracted. He immediately activated Mysterious Jade Hand, his hands turning jade-colored as he crossed them in front of himself to block. Even so, the kick sent him flying several meters.

He flipped in midair before managing to steady himself.

"His reaction speed is that fast? And he's incredibly strong.

"After cultivating Mysterious Heaven Skill, every aspect of my physical ability has improved. How can I still be weaker than him?"

Tang San was shocked. His hands were already throbbing faintly.

But he didn't pause for a moment. He attacked again.

He unleashed all the Tang Sect's combat techniques, his fists and feet working together in an unbroken flurry.

Li Han wasn't fazed at all. With a flick of his right hand, Heavenly Thunder Bamboo appeared. He gripped it in reverse like a dagger and used the Blinking Sword Technique to deflect Tang San's attacks one by one.

After more than a dozen exchanges, Tang San still hadn't gained the slightest advantage.

"He knows swordsmanship? Is that bamboo his Martial Soul?

"No. If this keeps up, I'm sure to lose.

"I have to end this with one decisive blow!

"I can only use a Hidden Weapon."

A flash of purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes. He straightened his right arm and aimed at Li Han's left leg.

Silent Sleeve Arrow!
