Introduction of Poison Douluo

Han Bing smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Senior, I cannot make such a decision on my own!"

Poison Douluo smiled knowingly. Geniuses were hard to come by, and he had to seize this opportunity. With such talent, the continent would sooner or later belong to this boy.

As a Title Douluo, he naturally saw the big picture. He knew that this person's talent surpassed common understanding, so he could only go along with it.

He continued:

"Little friend, that is where you are wrong. Sometimes, you just need to make the call!"

Hearing this, Han Bing looked astonished. Was he being forced into this?

Forget it, I'll think about it later. I'm only twelve years old.

At this moment, Guang Ling Douluo, who was standing to the side, spoke up:

"You old poison-monger, how is this any of your business? Can your granddaughter even touch the soles of my disciple's feet?"

Upon hearing this, Poison Douluo was not angry at all; instead, he replied:

"Fifth Elder, that is not quite right. Whether she can touch them or not, I do not know, but one must always strive for an opportunity. Everyone is equal, right, little friend Han Bing?"

Han Bing felt ashamed and gave an awkward smile.

"Enough, old poison-monger. Since you have joined Spirit Hall, you must serve Spirit Hall. I have changed my mind. You will not report to Spirit Hall for now. From now on, you will stay with me to protect Han Bing, and when the time is ripe, we will go to Spirit Hall together."

Guang Ling Douluo thought it over carefully and said with profound meaning.

Poison Douluo smiled after hearing this. "I couldn't ask for more. Little friend Han Bing, from now on, this place belongs to you. You can pick as many flowers and herbs as you like."

"Then many thanks, Senior."

Han Bing smiled. Growing more Immortal Herbs would certainly be a good thing.

"Since that is the case, old senior, I shall take my leave."

"Good!"

With that, Han Bing returned home. Having harvested so many Immortal Herbs, he absorbed them all himself—why wouldn't he?

Thus, with the enhancement of so many Immortal Herbs, Han Bing soared to new heights.

His soul power reached level forty-nine.

This terrified Hu Liena and the others.

"Han Bing, isn't your soul power growth a bit too exaggerated?"

Sun Haoran asked from the side.

Yet Han Bing still felt it was slow. He was a bit disappointed that he hadn't reached level fifty directly with so many Immortal Herbs.

Still, he was almost there.

Afterward, Han Bing participated in one-on-one matches at his leisure and spent the rest of his time cultivating at home.

A month passed, and everyone completed their training and obtained their Gold Soul Fighting Badges.

Teacher Gao Lan had also underestimated them.

It seemed the training at the Soul Fighting Arena was too simple. After returning to the academy, she would have to find people above the Soul Douluo level to train them.

By cultivating with Han Bing every day, the others had unknowingly far surpassed their peers.

During this month, Han Bing had long since reached level fifty.

He absorbed a thirty-thousand-year Protective Diamond Beast soul beast for his Candy Spirit and obtained his Fifth Soul Skill.

Protective Candy: Upon consumption, one gains a golden shield that lasts for three minutes.

This golden shield could defend against attacks corresponding to the strength of the user.

For someone like Han Bing, blocking an attack from a Title Douluo was no trouble at all.

The group then headed home. A few days later, a new student transferred into the academy.

Han Bing was stunned!

This person was Dugu Yan!

He saw Teacher Gao Lan introducing her solemnly:

"Students, we have a new elder in our Spirit Hall, Elder Poison Douluo. This is his granddaughter, and she is now transferring into our class. Let us give her a warm welcome!"

"Come, introduce yourself!"

Dugu Yan walked onto the stage, looked at the students below, and introduced herself quite briskly:

"Hello everyone, my name is Dugu Yan, a level thirty-eight battle soul grandmaster! I hope you will all take care of me!"

Her outstanding appearance attracted many male students in the academy.

Han Bing, however, was puzzled. She had clearly stared at him a bit longer just now. Recalling Poison Douluo's words, he broke out in a cold sweat!

"Good, student Dugu Yan. Although you currently have the lowest soul power level in our class, you are still young and can continue to work hard. If you surpass them, you will have a chance to compete for a spot in the Spirit Hall Seven-Member Team in two years."

Dugu Yan nodded. The academy she came from was the Royal Academy, where she was already the cream of the crop.

But looking at this class in the Spirit Hall Academy, she felt she couldn't even hold her head up.

People like Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue were of similar age, yet they had already broken through level forty.

And the boy sitting alone at the end must be the Han Bing her grandfather spoke of. Didn't her grandfather say he was also level forty?

Why did his soul power aura feel like it was far beyond that?

Still, he was truly impressive; at such a young age, his soul power was already heaven-defying.

"Good, Dugu Yan, you can sit next to Han Bing!"

She walked to the seat in the last row.

She smiled at Han Bing. Hu Liena noticed this and curled her lips, activating her Charm.

Dugu Yan immediately fell into the charm, her body twisting and her expression becoming seductive.

Hu Liena chuckled to herself. Since you won't stop staring at Han Bing, I'll make you make a fool of yourself in public!

But suddenly, a chill struck, and Dugu Yan's senses were frozen by ice.

The charm slowly dissipated.

After she regained her senses, she glared at Hu Liena, but since Hu Liena was a Soul Ancestor, she did not express any overt malice.

However, after seeing the way Hu Liena looked at Han Bing, she understood everything.

Fine. I originally had no interest in Han Bing and only came here because of my grandfather's arrangements.

Although my grandfather kept saying that Han Bing is a peerless genius who will surely be the number one person on the continent in the future, and told me to curry favor with him—even if we can't be together, building a good relationship to increase my own strength and leaving a good impression would be enough.

But Dugu Yan had been met with malice the moment she arrived.

Han Bing is a handsome man; currying favor with him is no loss, and I might even come out ahead.

Fine, little fox. You want to play with a venomous snake? I won't compete with you in martial arts; I'll compete with you to see who captures Han Bing first!

Han Bing had no idea what they were thinking.

He just felt that Hu Liena's actions were somewhat inappropriate.

Hu Liena, seeing Han Bing save her, felt a bit indignant. She glared at Dugu Yan, as if to say, "Just you wait."

Dugu Yan smiled and sat down next to Han Bing. She leaned in close to him and whispered in his ear:

"Thanks for just now. By the way, you are the Han Bing my grandfather mentioned, right?"

Han Bing nodded without speaking.

"Thanks to you just now, I don't know why the girl next to you is so hostile toward me? Is she bullying me because I'm new?"

Han Bing shook his head and still did not speak.

Dugu Yan was shocked. Was Han Bing always this cold?

She leaned even closer to Han Bing, almost touching him, and continued:

"Han Bing, what is your soul power level? It feels like it's more than forty, maybe forty-five?"

Only then did Han Bing say calmly:

"I'm at level fifty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Dugu Yan was startled. She immediately agreed with her grandfather's assessment—he truly was the greatest genius of all time.

She immediately said with admiration:

"Han Bing, you are truly amazing. I admire you so much!"
