Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 18 Let's see your strength

In Xiao Han's eyes, Xue Qinghe in front of him was nothing more than a woman disguised as a man.

At this time, she was probably not even twenty years old.

Xue Qinghe suddenly asked:

"Xiao Han, what brings you here specifically to see me?"

"Your Highness, I am looking for something, and I'm afraid only you can help me with it."

"Oh? What is it? Tell me about it."

"It's a book called 'Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs'."

"The Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs?"

Upon learning that it was a book, Xue Qinghe was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Xiao Han had come for it.

Although he found it a bit outrageous, Xue Qinghe still smiled amiably.

"Xiao Han, this is the first time I've heard of the 'Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs.' As far as I know, the Imperial Library doesn't seem to have this book."

"Your Highness, this book seems to be in the Spirit Hall, which is why I've come to ask for your help."

Spirit Hall

Xue Qinghe frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

The Spirit Hall does indeed possess a vast collection of rare and precious books, but Qian Renxue has not been in the Spirit Hall for long and is therefore not very familiar with them.

She guessed that the book Xiao Han mentioned might indeed be in the Spirit Hall.

I just don't know why this teenager wants it.

"Xiao Han, do you perhaps know about immortal herbs? Are you very interested in them?"

Xiao Han said with a serious expression:

"Your Highness, to be honest, although I am young, I have some medical knowledge. I have been studying various herbs since I was a child. If I could not become a Soul Master, I would have been a physician who saves lives. Now, I have become a Soul Master, but studying herbs is still my interest."

After hearing Xiao Han's explanation, Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, her eyes showing a hint of admiration.

"You've already become a Soul Master with innate full Soul Power, possessing limitless potential, yet you still haven't forgotten your original aspirations—truly rare. However, the book you mentioned is in the Spirit Hall, I'm afraid..."

Xue Qinghe paused for a moment, looking somewhat troubled.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"You're still young, and there are some things I can't say to you directly. The Spirit Hall isn't the same Spirit Hall it used to be. Even if I were the Crown Prince, the Empire might not be willing to give me that book. Do you understand?"

Xiao Han understood that if the real Xue Qinghe went to get it, the Spirit Hall would definitely ignore him. However, his true identity was the young master of the Spirit Hall, and as long as the Spirit Hall had the "Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs," he would definitely be able to get his hands on it.

It seems I need to show him my sincerity.

"Your Highness, I believe that as long as you intervene, we can definitely obtain it, which is why I came to you. If you are willing to help me this time, I will repay your kindness. Although I am not strong enough now, perhaps in five or ten years, I can be of some help to you."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe grinned.

The young man before me was extremely mature in his speech and manner, and even a little arrogant.

This is somewhat similar to her personality; she is persistent in pursuing what she wants.

Xue Qinghe was not angry at Xiao Han's insistence; on the contrary, she admired his courage even more.

This young man is too confident; he dares to speak so arrogantly in front of the Crown Prince on his first visit to the palace.

Most people's confidence stems from their own strong abilities; if they don't have real skills, then it's just arrogance.

Since Qian Renxue infiltrated the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, she has been secretly building up her own power.

She would naturally not miss out on a young person with potential.

Just like Xiao Han said, we may not need him now, but who can say for sure what will happen in five or ten years?

What's more, he has Tianshui Academy standing behind him.

Qian Renxue knew that Xiao Han was exceptionally talented, which was why he was admitted to Tianshui Academy through a special admission process.

However, she still didn't know whether the young man had lived up to his talent after several years of training.

"I didn't expect you to be so persistent about that 'Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs.' It seems you have a lot of confidence in your future."

"Of course. Your Highness, I just obtained my third spirit ring in the Frozen Forest and came straight here to see you."

Xue Qinghe was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Xiao Han wanted to demonstrate his strength in front of him to prove that what he said was true.

"You've already reached the Soul Master level?"

"Yes, Your Highness. I am eleven years old and my soul power is level thirty-two."

"Eleven years old, level thirty-two"

Xue Qinghe suddenly thought of the Spirit Hall Academy team.

She heard that the members of this year's team from the Spirit Hall Academy were all exceptionally talented and had unlimited potential, especially Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan, who were highly regarded by Pope Bibi Dong.

But even among the three of them, none of them broke through to level 32 of soul power at the age of eleven.

The boy before them was clearly a more outstanding individual.

Xue Qinghe looked at Xiao Han with some disbelief, but still smiled.

"Xiao Han, I've never seen anyone reach the Soul Master level at the age of eleven. You're the first. Would you mind demonstrating your strength?"

"Of course I don't mind. Your Highness, I wouldn't dare to speak carelessly in front of you."

As Xiao Han spoke, he stretched out his hands and slowly released his martial soul and soul rings.

The Zhenbing bow and arrow released a chilling aura, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze, causing the temperature to plummet.

Three spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, surrounded Xiao Han, reflecting the confident expression on his face.

Upon seeing this, Xue Qinghe's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"His second spirit ring reached the thousand-year level. Even with my innate full spirit power of level 20, I haven't achieved that. How did he do it? He truly lived up to his talent; his future is limitless. If I could really use him in the future..."

Xiao Han put away his martial spirit and spirit rings, and smiled:

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you'll get cold, so I'll put it away first."

Xue Qinghe recovered from his shock and smiled:

"You are indeed exceptionally talented. No wonder Tianshui Academy made an exception and admitted you. At such a young age, your second spirit ring has already reached the age of a thousand years. It's truly incredible."

Xue Qinghe's lavish praise did not make Xiao Han complacent.

Xiao Han said modestly:

"Your Highness, I was just lucky."

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly.

"I will do my best to get you that 'Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs' you mentioned."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Don't mention it. I'll send someone to let you know if I get it."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Xue Qinghe suddenly asked:

"By the way, has your Tianshui Academy team for the next Soul Master Competition been assembled yet?"

"Yes, the new team has been formed."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should also be a member of the team."

"Yes, Your Highness. However, I am merely a substitute."

"It seems you are a special case. I hope to see a brilliant performance from you in the next Soul Master Competition."

"Your Highness, I will try my best."

Afterwards, Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo left the palace.
