Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 101 Re-entering the Offering Hall, Covering Up Opportunity with Empty Words

"Okay, then I'll listen to Xiao Li. From now on, my martial soul will be called the Purple Gold Crystal Bear."

Xiuer sensed Han Li's happiness and replied sweetly, her emotions seeming even stronger than before due to the evolution of her martial soul.

"Alright, let's go eat. The kitchen should be ready by now. We'll test the specifics of the Martial Soul tomorrow when I return from the Hall of Offerings."

Han Li addressed the two of them.

"Come on, Xiuer, I've been starving while I've been waiting for you."

Dugu Yan took Xiu'er's hand and ran towards the door. Han Li smiled and followed.

After quickly finishing their food, the three split into two groups and entered adjacent rooms.

Dugu Yan and Xiu'er are temporarily staying together. On the one hand, Dugu Yan just arrived today, and Han Li hopes that Xiu'er will keep her company. On the other hand, it was Xiu'er's own request, saying that the two hit it off immediately and had a lot to talk about, so Han Li naturally wouldn't object.

Han Li did not go to sleep immediately after returning to his room, but instead began to cultivate.

This is something that requires perseverance and cannot tolerate the slightest slackening. He has not yet completed the minimum required training time today.

Silent all night.

The next morning, when Han Li got up to train as usual, he found that the two women had also arrived at the training ground, but they were clearly not in good spirits, obviously having chatted late the night before. Han Li didn't say anything; they didn't have anything planned for the day and would just catch up on sleep later.

After completing his daily training, Han Li told them that he was going to the Offering Hall in the morning and then left first.

When he arrived at the front hall, he found that Guangling had already arrived.

"Good morning, Master. Shall we go now?"

Han Li greeted him and casually asked.

"Yeah, let's go there soon. I should have gone to say hello as soon as I got back yesterday."

Guangling glanced at Han Li, who was already prepared, and stood up to walk outside.

"By the way, Master, do you have a 5,000-year-old Dark Gold Bear readily available?"

Han Li remembered that Sister Xiu'er was already level 20, so he quickened his pace and followed.

"Have you already used it on Xiuer? The improvement is quite significant."

Guangling immediately understood what was going on.

"Yes, I took it yesterday evening, and the improvement was indeed significant. My martial soul has also mutated a bit and become much stronger." Han Li couldn't help but reveal his joy as he spoke.

"I'll ask her after this is all over. The one we prepared was three thousand years old, but I didn't expect it to be useless so soon. Once she absorbs the spirit ring, she'll be a true genius among her peers."

Guangling was also somewhat amazed. This was truly a miraculous herb. For these young people, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a complete transformation. Sometimes he even felt that he had been born a little too early.

"Not only that, Sister Xiu'er's original level was too low. After absorbing the soul ring, she can at least reach level 23, and level 25 is not impossible. It should be said that she has already exceeded it." Han Li replied with a smile, expressing his own speculation.

"Oh, that's true, she was only level fourteen before."

Guangling paused for a moment before realizing that he had overlooked this point.

"The more talented we are, the more it makes you seem like a great teacher."

"That's good, haha. Alright, speed things up, I can't wait to see their expressions."

The master and apprentice increased their speed and headed towards the offering hall while chatting and laughing.

Inside the offering hall.

As usual, Han Li greeted his uncles and senior brothers with a smile, then stood obediently in place.

"Fifth brother, you guys have been away for quite a while this time. Looks like you've had a lot to gain. Tell me about it."

It was Jin'e who spoke; he immediately noticed something was off about the master and apprentice.

Putting aside the fact that Han Li's rise to power was rather audacious, he actually felt a great threat from Guang Ling.

"That's right, three months. I can't have worked for nothing."

Guangling raised an eyebrow, surprised that Jin'e was the first to notice that something was wrong with him.

"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense."

Qian Daoliu had opened his eyes at some point, glanced at the two of them, and had already received Qian Renxue's letter. He knew a little about it, but was also somewhat curious.

"Yes, brother."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu speak, Guang Ling abandoned her playful thoughts and became much more serious.

"In summary, Xiao Li and I have had some amazing experiences in the past three months. I have now broken through to level 98, while Xiao Li is currently at level 34."

As they spoke, the master and disciple exchanged a glance, both summoning their martial spirits and releasing their auras.

The hall instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Apart from Qian Daoliu, who remained calm, the others all looked somewhat astonished.

After a long while, their faces regained their composure, but what they were really thinking was anyone's guess.

"Mother, this is not just a strange encounter, it's a miracle!"

The lion, feeling somewhat stifled, couldn't help but speak up.

He watched as Guang Ling, who was originally weaker than him, rose from level 96 to level 98 in just two years after taking him as a disciple, leaving him far behind.

Could it be that taking on a disciple and then going out with him is the best way to advance after becoming a Super Douluo? Several elders had the same thought in their hearts.

"Fifth Brother, what kind of extraordinary encounter was it? It allowed you to break through again after just reaching a breakthrough, and Xiao Li also jumped more than ten levels in one go?"

Qianjun, who had never been particularly convinced of Guangling's abilities, surprisingly called him Fifth Brother. He couldn't help it; he was too eager to improve.

Moreover, Guangling is now level 98, so even if he and his brother team up, they have no chance of winning.

"Actually, it's nothing. You've probably all heard of it. It's that immortal herb that little chrysanthemum has always praised. His martial soul is one of them. It just so happens that Xiao Li and I ran into it." Guang Ling replied casually.

"So that thing really exists?"

The lion couldn't help but slap himself when he thought about how he had secretly mocked him for being stupid from growing flowers. Why hadn't he gone over to take a look back then?

"Isn't what you're saying obvious? Otherwise, how would Xiao Li and I have broken through? But don't get your hopes up too high. Immortal herbs aren't actually that useful to us. If we have the right attributes, they can only slightly strengthen our martial souls."

"My breakthrough was purely by chance. I even took all of Xiao Li's opportunities before I could barely complete it. He didn't even have the chance to eat it himself."

Guangling rolled her eyes and gave a serious reminder.

"He didn't eat, yet he jumped more than ten levels in one go?" Qianjun's face twitched violently.

"Xiao Li's martial soul has evolved, which has led to an increase in his soul power. You can understand this by looking at his martial soul and soul rings."

Guangling gestured for Han Li to make the spirit rings more conspicuous, so they could see them.

Han Li nodded slightly, and the three spirit rings—black, purple, and black—that were not very conspicuous on the bow handle instantly grew larger, completely attracting the attention of the others.
