Three-Level Leap, the Immortal Herb Huo Lei Gave His Teacher

Huo Lei sat cross-legged beside his father and directly placed the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid into his mouth, chewing it. It tasted sweet and fragrant, much like the chewing gum he had eaten on Blue Star in his previous life.

After chewing it a few times, Huo Lei swallowed it. He then closed his eyes and gathered his Soul Power, helping the medicinal effects merge into his body as he began absorbing it.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

Sensing that all three of his children were in stable condition, Huo Feng felt immensely gratified.

Fortunately, I had a sudden fit of kindness back then and adopted Huo Lei. Who would have thought that not only was he extraordinarily talented, but he was also so sensible? Now that all three children are gradually growing up, Blazing Fire Academy has a promising future ahead.

Huo Feng sighed inwardly.

At that moment, Huo Wushuang was the first to awaken from his cultivation. As he opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashed through them, and irrepressible delight appeared on his lips. He swept his gaze around, saw that Huo Wu and Huo Lei were still cultivating, then quietly rose to his feet and walked toward his father.

"Wushuang, how do you feel?"

Huo Feng asked softly.

"I feel very good. My spiritual power has grown considerably, and my senses have improved significantly as well. But just like Xiao Lei said, my Soul Power hasn't increased much. Perhaps it's because I haven't obtained my fourth Soul Ring yet."

Huo Wushuang approached his father and quietly explained his condition.

"As long as there's improvement, that's good. In the next day or two, I'll arrange for a teacher to take you and attach a Soul Ring. Now that your spiritual power has increased greatly, you can attach a fourth Soul Skill like mine—a soundwave-type Soul Skill that combines attack and control."

Huo Feng offered Huo Wushuang his suggestion.

Just then, Huo Wu rose from a corner as well and happily walked over to Huo Feng and Huo Wushuang.

"The herb Xiao Lei gave us is amazing! Dad, Brother, guess how many levels I went up?"

Huo Wu said mysteriously, beaming.

"How many levels? Little Sister, it can't be that exaggerated, can it?"

Huo Wushuang was somewhat startled, but he kept his voice low, afraid of disturbing Huo Lei nearby.

Seeing her brother's reaction, Huo Wu became even more smug and lifted her chin higher.

"My heavens, Huo Wu, you've already reached level forty-five? You actually went up three levels! And you seem to have become even prettier."

Huo Feng examined his daughter in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, I'm already level forty-five. Brother, how much did you improve?"

Huo Wu looked curiously at Huo Wushuang beside her.

"Little Sister, did you forget? I'm at level forty now and haven't attached my Soul Ring yet. I don't know how many levels I've improved."

Huo Wushuang forced down the envy and frustration in his heart as he replied.

"You two go rest on the sofa for a while. Don't disturb your brother's cultivation."

Huo Feng quietly reminded them, then turned his gaze back to Huo Lei.

Half an hour later, Huo Lei also awoke from cultivation. The first thing he did after waking was ask about Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's progress. "Brother, Sister, how do you feel? How much did you improve?"

Before Huo Wushuang could speak, a red figure pounced on Huo Lei. "Good little brother, thank you so much! The herb you gave us is amazing. Your sister went up a full three levels."

Huo Lei was tightly hugged by Huo Wu, and the two soft, full mounds pressing against him made him deeply uncomfortable as her younger brother.

"Sister, don't get too excited. This is what I should do."

Smiling, Huo Lei struggled free from Huo Wu's embrace.

"Xiao Lei, how much did you improve after taking the herb?"

Huo Feng walked forward with a smile, placing a hand on his son's shoulder as he asked.

"Dad, just like Sister, I went up three levels too. I'm already level forty-five."

Huo Lei looked excitedly at Huo Feng.

"Good! You've all made excellent progress. I'm happy for you. This time, we have Senior Jin Shan and Xiao Lei to thank for helping us all improve."

The sternness on Huo Feng's face softened greatly, and his smile bloomed like a flower.

"Dad, Brother, Sister, it's enough for us to know about the herbs. Don't spread the word, or we might bring unnecessary trouble upon ourselves."

Huo Lei earnestly reminded his family.

The three of them nodded in unison.

"Dad, Brother, Sister, go take care of whatever you need to do. I'm going to see my teacher and check whether he's returned."

After calling out to them, Huo Lei left the room.

Huo Lei arrived at Jin Shan's residence and knocked on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in!"

An elderly man's lazy voice came from inside, seemingly carrying a trace of displeasure.

The moment Huo Lei heard his teacher Jin Shan's voice, he was overjoyed and immediately pushed open the door.

"Teacher, when did you return?"

Huo Lei greeted him with a broad smile.

"Last night. I went to find you, but I sensed that your whole family was cultivating, so I didn't disturb you."

Jin Shan sat cross-legged on the bed. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with confusion and shock. "You brat, you've reached level forty-five? How did you do that? Did you obtain some treasure?"

"Teacher, don't get worked up yet. Tell your disciple first—how did your battle with that Titled Douluo go? Were you injured?"

Huo Lei directly changed the subject and instead showed concern for Jin Shan.

"You brat, who are you looking down on? Your teacher's defense isn't something to joke about. Dugu Bo's little tricks aren't enough to injure me."

Jin Shan's words were full of confidence.

"Dugu Bo? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere. Is he the one with the title 'Poison'? How strong is he?"

Huo Lei naturally knew that the Titled Douluo was Dugu Bo, but he still pretended not to know and asked.

"That's right, Dugu Bo, the one titled Poison." Jin Shan sighed. "Although Dugu Bo is inferior to your teacher, that old poisoner is no simple opponent either. He deserves the title Poison Douluo."

"Teacher, how did the battle end? Did you gain anything? Is Dugu Bo dead?"

Huo Lei fired off a string of questions curiously.

"You brat, what are you thinking? Unless the gap between Titled Douluo is enormous, how could one be so easily killed? In the end, that old poisoner used some strange thing and fired countless poison needles. He took advantage of a gap in my defense and escaped."

By the end, Jin Shan's tone carried an obvious trace of anger.

The strange thing Teacher mentioned must be the Mother-and-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Gall Tang San gave Dugu Bo. That thing had once injured Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo at level ninety-five. Teacher failed to gain anything and was even played by Dugu Bo. No wonder he's angry.

Huo Lei secretly laughed to himself.

"You brat, you still haven't answered your teacher's question. Hurry up and tell me—how did you reach level forty-five in such a short time? What treasure did you obtain?"

Jin Shan's curiosity was thoroughly aroused. He stared fixedly at his disciple, like a starving lecher eyeing a naked woman.

"Teacher, this is what happened. Your disciple obtained a storage Soul Tool from that young man. There were several herbs inside. Yesterday, I refined and absorbed one of them, and this morning I broke through to level forty-five." Huo Lei gave a casual account of what had happened.

"Herbs? What kind of herb could raise you three levels in a row? Where are the remaining ones? Take them out and let your teacher see them."

Jin Shan urged impatiently.

"Teacher, we agreed beforehand that whoever obtains something owns it."

"Hm! You brat, what did you say? I..."

Seeing that Jin Shan was about to lose his temper, Huo Lei hurriedly added, "Teacher, don't be hasty! Your disciple hasn't finished speaking. But I do know how to repay kindness. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to obtain these things, so I specifically prepared one herb to present to you."

After speaking, Huo Lei took out the Wishful Hundred Treasures Pouch from the storage ring on his right hand. With a thought, he controlled his Soul Power and retrieved a pale purple immortal herb from the Wishful Hundred Treasures Pouch.
