"Xiao Wu, are you alright?"
Tang San rushed to Xiao Wu's side, checking her condition.
"Han Xing, aren't you being a bit too ruthless?"
Looking at the unconscious Xiao Wu, Tang San demanded an explanation.
"If you call this ruthless, then you'd better stop being a Spirit Master and go back to the village to play house," Han Xing said coldly.
"If you lack the ability, don't go around looking for trouble. I've already shown mercy."
"Someone still at the Spirit Scholar stage acting this arrogant—if I didn't know better, I'd think you were a Titled Douluo."
"No, wait. Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare be this arrogant."
Tang San was speechless, unable to find a retort.
In truth, they were indeed in the wrong here.
Han Xing had simply been observing other students in class when Xiao Wu suddenly decided to pick a fight with him.
Of course, this was mainly because Tang San had only just met Xiao Wu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about who was in the right.
Han Xing took his schoolbag from Xiao Chenyu's hand.
"You don't even have a spirit ring yet, do you? Come talk to me after you get one."
"If you want to stand up for her, then let your strength do the talking."
"If you can defeat me, then whatever you say is the truth. The reverse is also true."
With that, Han Xing didn't wait for Tang San to react and walked away on his own.
[Damn, this little villain is strangely cool.]
[In a world of transcendence, strength is king. I love it.]
[It's a pity. His martial spirit looks quite strong, but since he isn't the protagonist, he's destined to never beat Tang San.]
As the barrage of comments flew by, a system notification sounded in Han Xing's ears.
"Congratulations to the host for gaining one point of popularity."
"Congratulations to the host for gaining one point of popularity..."
Listening to the continuous stream of notifications and watching his popularity rise, Han Xing felt his mood improve significantly.
"Ding, congratulations to the host. Popularity has officially exceeded one hundred points. You have received a popularity gift pack. Would you like to claim it?"
"Claim," Han Xing said without hesitation.
He had already taken note of the system's reward thresholds previously.
One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... every time his popularity broke a threshold, he would receive a reward.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Golden Crow Basic Technique Three-Piece Set."
"Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique, Great Sun Heaven-Burning Art, Extreme Yang Heart-Tempering Record."
Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique (Movement):
Divided into three realms: Flowing Flame Shift, Red Glow Sky-Sweep, and Great Sun Instant Rainbow.
Relying on this technique, one can leave behind fine, golden-red fire-rainbow afterimages while moving, appearing erratic and confusing opponents.
It leaves behind Sun Fire marks where one steps, causing those who tread upon them to be scorched by True Fire and disrupting their movement trajectory.
Upon reaching the intermediate stage, one can walk on air, leaving long, sunset-like rainbows in the sky to deflect other elements.
Upon reaching the high stage, one can transform into a rainbow to move at extreme speeds, exploding in a ring of Dawn Fire upon landing to blast surrounding enemies.
Great Sun Heaven-Burning Art (Combat): Divided into three forms.
Dawn Fire Capture Claw: Condenses Sun Fire into the five fingers to lock tendons and seal meridians at close range, allowing True Fire to seep into the meridians and suppress the flow of spirit power.
Heaven-Burning Fist Force: Compresses Sun True Fire to unleash fire energy upon attack, causing sparks to explode on impact with armor-piercing capabilities.
Golden Crow Sky-Rending: The final combat form; gathers the Extreme Yang energy stored within the body to manifest a giant Three-Legged Golden Crow claw shadow to launch an attack.
Extreme Yang Heart-Tempering Record (Mental Cultivation): Divided into four realms: Body Tempering and Essence Nourishing, Gathering and Storing True Fire, Blazing Sun Spirit Boosting, and Great Sun True Self.
The first realm nourishes the physical body, increasing its strength; under sunlight, spirit power recovery and cultivation speed are further enhanced.
The second realm allows for the containment of True Fire, increasing spirit power purity and the temperature of the Sun True Fire.
The third realm uses True Fire to temper the spirit, increasing the strength of one's mental power, with mental recovery speed accelerated under the sun.
The fourth realm allows for the direct absorption of daylight to convert into spirit power for combat, and cultivation under the sun doubles the recovery bonus.
"So strong!"
Looking at the rewards he had just received, Han Xing revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
The Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique could increase his speed and even provide a degree of defense against attacks.
With this move, even if he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, he would have a chance to escape.
The Great Sun Heaven-Burning Art could increase his close-quarters combat ability, patching up his greatest current weakness.
Although the Sun True Fire circling his body could form a defense, it could be forcibly broken through when facing certain powerful melee Spirit Masters.
With the combat techniques of the Great Sun Heaven-Burning Art, Han Xing would now have the ability to maneuver when facing such formidable melee Spirit Masters in the future.
However, the most important thing was still the Extreme Yang Heart-Tempering Record.
What was most important on the Douluo Continent? Without a doubt, it was one's own cultivation realm.
Why was Tang San able to rise to prominence? Wasn't it precisely because he possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill?
One could imagine how much of an increase in cultivation efficiency a cultivation technique could bring to a Spirit Master.
Using Tang San as an example might not be obvious enough.
But let's use other examples: Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin.
The early cultivation of these two relied entirely on the help of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Now that Han Xing had the Extreme Yang Heart-Tempering Record, his future cultivation speed would naturally improve significantly.
Having obtained the techniques, Han Xing naturally couldn't wait to return home and begin attempting to cultivate.
Given Xiao Wu's personality, once she condensed her own spirit ring, she would definitely come looking for him to fight again.
At that time, Tang San, who had already been sharing a bed with Xiao Wu for some time, would inevitably step in to help.
If he couldn't master the techniques and combat styles in his hands as quickly as possible, even with the Three-Legged Golden Crow spirit, Han Xing might not be a match for Tang San.
Fortunately, these three techniques were tailor-made for Han Xing, the possessor of the Golden Crow spirit.
It took only one day for Han Xing to master them all to the first realm.
Feeling the changes within his body, he looked forward to the upcoming battle with increasing anticipation.
If the reward for one hundred popularity points was like this, what kind of improvement would one thousand popularity points bring him?
Unfortunately, Notting Academy had just started, and Tang San had not yet gone to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his spirit ring.
He would have to wait at least until next week for the next scene to unfold.
After all, given Grandmaster's strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to help Tang San obtain a spirit ring.
Han Xing arrived at the Spirit Hall training ground, intending to test out all the moves he had newly mastered.
Liu Yunxiao, who had been arranged in advance, was already waiting near the training ground.
Seeing Han Xing, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Ever since Han Xing awakened his spirit, his status within the Spirit Hall had also improved.
Facing Han Xing's request, he naturally agreed without a second thought.
"Brother Yunxiao, I intend to train my combat abilities."
Han Xing said politely, "I'll be troubling you from here on out."
"It's no trouble. Being able to help you grow stronger quickly is a good thing for us as well," Liu Yunxiao laughed.
"After all, you'll be going to Spirit City in the future, so you can't lose face for our Nuoding City when the time comes."
Suddenly, Liu Yunxiao's expression turned serious: "However, since this is training, I won't intentionally go easy on you."
"Although I won't use spirit skills, the intensity of my level twenty-eight spirit power will still be a difficult challenge for you."
