Level Forty

Tang San was not bad; he recovered after lying down for two days.

Upon waking, Tang San felt a deep sense of dread. He had never imagined there could be someone so terrifyingly powerful.

It seemed he had to intensify his training in hidden weapons and internal cultivation techniques.

Although Tang San still had a trump card he hadn't revealed—his Clear Sky Hammer—Han Bing was no different.

After waking up, Tang San trained like a madman!

"Ice Heart Candy, I will definitely beat you next time!"

Xiao Wu stood by, watching Tang San in this state. It seemed this defeat had dealt him a heavy blow.

In the days that followed, Han Bing continued to win with ease.

Three days later, his spirit power reached level forty.

Within their team, Sun Haoran and Liu Mingyue also reached level forty.

With that, teacher Gao Lan arranged for them to head out together to hunt spirit beasts and absorb their spirit rings.

In the Star Dou Forest, the group moved forward slowly with Han Bing at the center.

Sun Haoran, positioned on the left, kept a vigilant watch on their surroundings as he spoke:

"Han Bing, I didn't expect you to reach level forty too. You've already caught up to me. I truly wonder what kind of shock you will bring to the continent the day you become a Titled Douluo."

Sun Haoran was already twenty-one years old, tall and thin.

Beside him was Liu Mingyue, also twenty-one, though she was much shorter and had a plumper build.

Aside from Han Bing, these two were the slowest to reach level forty.

Including Han Bing, everyone in Spirit Hall Advanced Academy Class One had now broken through to level forty.

Teacher Gao Lan led the team from the front, naturally still focused on training the students. They kept Han Bing at the center while searching for target spirit beasts.

"Han Bing, what kind of spirit beast are you looking for?"

Hu Liena blinked, gazing at their surroundings. For her, hunting for spirit rings was like a vacation!

Han Bing already had a plan in mind. His fourth spirit ring had to be over ten thousand years old, so he replied calmly:

"For my fourth spirit ring, I want to try for a spirit beast over ten thousand years old!"

At these words, everyone was astonished.

"Ten thousand years! Forget it. If someone else said that, I would doubt them, but coming from our monster Han Bing, it's not that surprising. Fine, let's hunt for Han Bing's spirit beast first!"

Hu Liena said.

Han Bing nodded and looked around, using Observation Haki to sense everything in the vicinity.

Right ahead, he sensed the presence of a powerful spirit beast!

Han Bing led the team and immediately had everyone slow down, saying softly:

"Everyone, be careful. There is a powerful spirit beast ahead. We must be cautious. Everyone, summon your spirits!"

The group nodded. Han Bing remained in the center, still not making a move, as he wanted to let the other students train.

Han Bing led the team only as a support spirit master!

He revealed his Candy Spirit and frequently unleashed his three spirit skills.

He distributed speed, strength, and flight candies to his teammates.

"Everyone, eat my candy. If that is a ten-thousand-year spirit beast ahead, I'll have to trouble you all!"

The group nodded and ate Han Bing's candy one by one.

Following that, they took flight and rushed forward.

They discovered a Magic Silk Venomous Snake over ten thousand years old!

The venomous snake had colorful stripes all over its body and spat icy venom from its mouth.

Its body was massive, with at least fifteen thousand years of cultivation.

Seeing this, Han Bing thought it was perfect and said:

"Companions, this one is good!"

Hu Liena and the others nodded and said one after another:

"Han Bing, leave it to us. You get some rest!"

Everyone except Han Bing rushed forward at high speed. With the assistance of Han Bing's three candies, they launched a collective attack.

Speed, strength, and the ability to fly!

They were basically invincible.

In minutes, they finished off the Magic Silk Venomous Snake!

The venomous snake lay dying!

Hu Liena said:

"Han Bing, hurry and absorb it!"

Han Bing did not stand on ceremony. The group surrounded him to stand guard.

Han Bing used an Ice Fist to execute the snake. Over the past few years, he had developed his Freeze-Freeze Fruit quite well.

He had created a move called Ice Fist, and its power was immense.

Han Bing sat cross-legged and began to absorb it slowly.

The red spirit ring was gradually absorbed by Han Bing, and his icy blue aura erupted violently.

In less than an hour, the absorption was complete.

At this moment, four spirit rings flashed on Han Bing's body.

One yellow, two purple, and one black!

His Candy Spirit's fourth spirit skill was named: Antidote Candy!

After consuming it, everyone became immune to poison damage and instantly cleared all abnormal status effects and toxins for three minutes.

Seeing Han Bing stand up, the group asked about his fourth spirit skill. After Han Bing explained it, everyone was stunned.

Sun Haoran nodded and said:

"Han Bing, you would be incredibly powerful even as just a support spirit master. I think even the support masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might not be as capable as our Han Bing."

"With Han Bing's support, even facing a ten-thousand-year spirit beast is so easy!"

Han Bing smiled. Once his spirit ring was secured, he helped the others hunt for theirs.

They did not have Han Bing's constitution.

Sun Haoran and Liu Mingyue each found a spirit beast over three thousand years old, hunted them, and absorbed the rings.

In just one day, all three had successfully obtained their spirit rings.

At this point, the group planned to head back.

However, Han Bing wanted to go somewhere else, so he parted ways with the group.

Han Bing was left alone in the Star Dou Forest.

Teacher Gao Lan knew he was being protected by someone, so she didn't interfere.

He had also asked teacher Gao Lan for leave to take care of some personal business.

Han Bing headed in the direction of Heaven Dou City.

His target was the Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

It was time to take it.

Guang Ling Douluo had been protecting him from the shadows the entire time.

Han Bing could sense him with his Observation Haki, so he didn't think much of it and headed toward Heaven Dou City.

Along the way, Han Bing played and traveled.

The training at the Soto Soul Fighting Arena was a piece of cake for him, so he didn't pay it much mind.

Teacher Gao Lan had only come to train the other students.

As for a monster like Han Bing, this place was just for fun and not worth mentioning, so she naturally didn't bother him.

Thus, Han Bing took the opportunity to check out the Immortal Herb.

Sure enough, he soon found the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Heaven Dou City!

He walked in without the slightest hesitation.

Even if Poison Douluo were inside, he wouldn't be afraid, as he had an even more powerful backer behind him.

He walked in, and the place was empty.

Han Bing immediately gathered all the Immortal Herbs to absorb them slowly later.

Han Bing clapped his hands and gave a wicked smile. Tang San, I won't be polite.

After taking them, he planned to head home quickly.

But just as he turned around, a majestic voice came from behind him:

"Kid, you take things from my place and think you can just leave?"

Han Bing turned around naturally and saw that Poison Douluo had appeared inside at some point.

He looked at Han Bing, his nine spirit rings suddenly lighting up, and demanded on the spot:

"Kid, what are you doing taking the flowers and plants from my place?"

Han Bing was not flustered at all and said calmly:

"So it is Poison Douluo. This junior pays his respects. I just thought these flowers and plants were very beautiful, so I picked them on a whim!"
