Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 136 Four Years of Change, The Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss

The group that left Wuhun City was Han Li and his companions, but Dugu Bo had become their companion. The poor old man even took the initiative to drive the carriage in order to please his granddaughter.

To be honest, four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the changes in them are quite significant, especially in their appearance.

However, they were still all handsome men and beautiful women, only the childishness on their faces had disappeared, and their figures were too mature to be real.

In the past, no one would have guessed that these people were not even twenty years old, but in the Douluo Continent, it is quite common.

After all, even the youngest, Han Li, has celebrated his twelfth birthday and is now considered an adult.

This journey also marks Han Li's coming-of-age ceremony, and traveling across the continent is a long-standing tradition.

That's right, there's something wrong with his strength.

At this time, twelve-year-old Han Li was already a Soul King of fifty-nine.

It sounds a bit high, but it's really not that complicated.

After re-establishing contact with the consciousness of the plane, Han Li calmed down completely and immersed himself in cultivation.

On his eighth birthday, he finally broke through to level 35 as he had wished, and then he decisively swallowed the eight-petaled fairy orchid.

The eight-petaled fairy orchid is the most gentle and mellow among the medicinal herbs.

What Han Li valued was its extremely long-lasting medicinal effect and its ability to compensate for the slow pace of martial spirit cultivation.

Mainly because he was affected by the high intensity of ice and fire elements, he did feel that his cultivation speed was slowing down.

As it happened, this immortal herb was extremely suitable for him. Three hours later, after the herb entered his stomach, he successfully broke through to level forty.

Then, without him saying anything this time, Guangling immediately led him back to the Star Dou Great Forest, muttering curses under his breath, saying, "You're such a troublemaker. Why didn't you just swallow it back then? Why did you have to wait until now?"

Han Li was speechless. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it directly, but rather that he did want to postpone it for a while.

He originally planned to further refine his body, preparing to directly reach the 100,000-year level in the fifth ring, but now he can only speed up the process ahead of schedule.

Of course, the master and apprentice were not the only ones traveling together this time; Xiu'er was also with them, because Han Li gave her the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red directly while consuming the immortal herb.

As expected, Xiu'er spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately picked the flower, glanced at it reluctantly, and then swallowed it without hesitation.

After the refining was completed, as the soul power reached the level of Quasi-Soul Master, the overall strength of the martial soul increased by another 20%. The claws that had evolved halfway last time evolved on the spot.

After Guangling's comparison, Xiuer's Purple Gold Terrorclaw Bear, apart from the color being slightly off, is absolutely comparable to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

After all, there has never been a Soul Master with such a Martial Soul in the Soul Master world, so he can't make a comparison.

But he was certain that even against a Golden Crocodile of the same level, Xiu'er could absolutely crush him head-on, cleanly and decisively.

After circling the Star Dou Great Forest, Han Li emerged from the forest at level 42, his spirit rings barely reaching 50,000 years. He also acquired a right leg bone, which he immediately gave to Xiu'er.

After Xiuer absorbed the right leg bone, under the influence of the obedient son summoned by Han Li, a golden bear that was barely ten thousand years old became her third soul ring without any resistance.

There was no other way; the number of bear cubs was simply too small, so we had to make do with what we had.

Even so, Guangling, who was standing to the side, was somewhat doubtful of life. When did the Golden Bear become so docile, not even putting up a fight?

Xiuer successfully obtained another piece of her left arm bone. Although it was the best bone to absorb from the same source, she did not absorb it for the time being, considering that it was only ten thousand years old. Instead, she stored it away and decided to wait and see how things went.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Xiu'er's level had reached level 38. She had absorbed a 50,000-year-old spirit bone, along with the Acacia Heartbreak Red and the 10,000-year-old spirit ring, which directly raised her level by a full thirteen levels.

Guangling didn't want to talk anymore. She felt that her understanding of things over the years had been completely shattered. Whose maid would be so fierce?

Over the course of four years, Han Li increased his soul power by 15 levels through cultivation. When he broke through to the Soul King level, he obtained his fifth soul ring, which had been around for 80,000 years, and thus increased his level by two and a half levels again.

He is now only half a step away from level 60, but he also deeply feels how troublesome his ultimate power is.

The potency of the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, which was supposed to last until level 70, was almost exhausted.

During these four years, he maintained a cultivation speed of more than three levels, almost four levels each year. This was largely thanks to the help of Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan, which allowed him to maintain a fairly fast cultivation speed even at the Soul King stage.

Of course, this is also a good thing for the two of them. In these four years, their martial souls have undergone a certain transformation.

Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix has finally evolved into an Ice Phoenix with ultimate ice attributes, standing at the very top of the continent's martial spirits.

Dugu Yan's martial soul strength was relatively weak, but when Han Li took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and handed it to her, she refused.

In her words, as long as she continues to cultivate, she will eventually possess the ultimate fire, so there's no need to waste the precious immortal herbs.

Since she was already older than the others, she might as well take advantage of this time, before her attributes reached their peak, to use fusion cultivation to improve her level as much as possible, so as not to fall behind later.

Han Li didn't say anything, but nodded silently. He made a mental note of the ancient beast and decided to use it as a substitute. Anyway, Sister Yan didn't like transforming into a dragon, so it was perfect for her.

Dugu Yan, eighteen years old, has increased her cultivation level by 19 levels in four years and increased her level by 6 levels by acquiring soul beasts. She is now at the same level as Han Li, a level 59 Soul King.

Shui Bing'er, thirteen years old, was level 27 when she returned from hunting souls. In four years, she improved her level by 17 through cultivation and her level increased by 9 through acquiring soul beasts, reaching level 53 Soul King.

Xiuer, 15 years old, was level 38 when she returned from hunting souls. In four years, she improved her level by 15 through cultivation and 6 through acquiring soul beasts, reaching level 59 Soul King.

This is the current level of their team; even the lowest-ranked member, Shui Bing'er, has reached level 53.

The most terrifying one is Xiuer. With the boost from the two top-tier immortal herbs, she even managed to overtake them and catch up with Han Li and Dugu Yan in terms of level.

Of course, Han Li was not idle during these four years. Apart from cultivation time, he devoted almost all his energy to improving his physical strength and mental power. As for the laws, he also made some progress under the guidance of his good son.

Through rigorous training, his physical and mental strength have now fully entered the realm of Title Douluo.

It can be said that the foundation has been laid perfectly, and his future improvement will be explosive and unimpeded.

Promotion naturally requires opportunity.

Unfortunately, he has now stepped out of Wuhun City precisely to "seek an opportunity".

He was also ready to set foot on the mainland and make his mark.
