Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 14 Elemental Butterfly and Han Li's First Battle

Looking at Han Li, who was bent over and refused to get up, Guang Ling and Qing Luan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a mixture of shock and joy, but their expressions were somewhat bittersweet.

After a few days of getting to know his apprentice, Guangling had come to understand him quite well. He was just as mischievous and stubborn as he had been when he was a child. Judging from his appearance, he had already made up his mind and was just waiting for him to come.

Putting everything else aside, Han Li was willing to give up a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone in exchange for the possibility of a little maid cultivating. As an elder, he was both angry and satisfied.

But the fact that he made the decision without consulting his teacher at all angered him. What? Did Guang Ling look like the type to stop him?

Hmm, it's hard to say.

His gentle attitude towards Xiu'er was out of consideration for his own disciple; as for how much he liked her, that was another matter. That was a 100,000-year soul ring; even if he couldn't handle it, a high-age soul bone would be better.

Is a special maid really worth it? If Han Li wanted, he could find him a whole bunch of snake women and cat women without affecting his cultivation. Such semi-awakened states are rare, but they do exist.

But Han Li insisted on doing it even though he knew the truth, which might even anger his newly-acquainted teacher. So, how could Han Li not be pleased if he might do similar things for him in the future?

"Get up first."

Guangling didn't speak, but Qingluan spoke first.

Han Li hesitated for a moment, then looked up at his teacher and noticed that his expression kept changing, sometimes happy and sometimes angry, making it hard to tell whether he agreed or not.

"sit."

Qingluan spoke softly, her gaze softening considerably as she looked at him. She then tugged at Guangling, who was still lost in his own world, signaling that it was time for him to make a decision.

Guangling glanced at Han Li, who was still standing, and said irritably, "Sit down."

Upon hearing this, Han Li's face lit up with joy, knowing that the matter was probably settled. He happily replied, "Thank you, Teacher."

Seeing the joy on his face, Guangling felt as if this kid had figured her out, so she deliberately put on a stern face: "I can agree to your request, but you have to agree to one of mine, how about it?"

Han Li answered without hesitation, "Okay. Please go ahead, teacher."

Guangling was quite satisfied to see that he agreed without any hesitation. So, he tapped the table and slowly said as if pondering, "I won't make things difficult for you. Since you gave up a 100,000-year soul ring and spoke so arrogantly, then you'll have to make up for it yourself later. If you can't do it, I'll let you know what regret is."

As Guangling spoke, a sinister smile appeared on his face, as if to tell him that he would hang Han Li up and beat him when the time came.

Han Li was not intimidated by his posture, but breathed a sigh of relief. So that's it. Even without Guang Ling's suggestion, he had no intention of giving up on the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.

"I promise you, teacher. Perhaps I won't even need to be a Title Douluo; I will fulfill your request." Han Li replied confidently.

Guangling and Qingluan exchanged a smile without saying anything. They were just like that when they were young. It's better for young people to have some ambition.

In the following time, Guangling and Qingluan personally taught him the precautions for the new meditation method, and even had him enter a meditative state on the spot, and they personally pointed out the correct points.

They reconfirmed his physical strength, pointed out some common pitfalls he might encounter during early training, and advised him on the safest approach to absorbing a spirit ring. Based on his individual circumstances, they finalized some cultivation resources, saying the specifics would be arranged after he absorbed the spirit ring the next day.

They talked for more than three hours until Xiuer reminded them that dinner was ready. Only then did they stop. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xiuer told him to get some rest that night before they parted ways.

As Qingluan was leaving, she handed him a new storage necklace, saying it was a gift for Xiuer in advance, wishing him success in his plan, which made Han Li thank her again.

Han Li lay on the bed, playing with his newly acquired storage wristband and necklace for a while, roughly estimating how many times rich he had become in half a day. Instead of cultivating, he went to sleep early.

He had been on edge for the past few days since his martial soul awakened, and after being tormented on the road for nearly two days, he was about to obtain his first spirit ring tomorrow. It was best for him to rest up and be fully rested at this time.

Silent all night.

At six o'clock in the morning, Han Li woke up on his own, one of the few times he woke up before Sister Xiu'er called him.

He slept well last night, perhaps because he relaxed completely and entered a deep sleep. He is probably in the best condition he has been in recently.

After lying there for a while, he heard familiar voices outside. Urged by Xiu'er, Han Li finished his quick wash and headed towards the training ground outside. They had already familiarized themselves with the environment yesterday.

He didn't always have Xiu'er serve him; rather, Xiu'er only took on the full role of a maid when he wasn't exercising.

Breathing in the fresh air, Han Li began to warm up his body. He only remembered these two: "The Young Eagle Takes Flight" and "The Times Are Calling." He would randomly choose one set each day to warm up and try to do it as standard as possible.

There's no way around it, this is his own "technique". In any case, having it is better than not having it, and it's better than just running, right?

After warming up, he did push-ups, burpees, and of course, basic running, and finally, quick knife swings. This has been his training method for the past three years. He also had a swimming pool in his Nottingham City residence, where he swims two to three times a week, but unfortunately, it's not available here yet.

After he finished training, Xiu'er handed him the prepared towel and salt water. She hadn't participated today, but knowing that Han Li was about to become a true Soul Master, she wanted to ensure the best service.

After the two turned and left to clean themselves in the room, the two figures on the wall exchanged a glance and disappeared.

Just after breakfast, Guangling and Qingluan arrived together, carrying a huge box enveloped in soul power.

"Let's go to the training ground and get your first spirit ring."

Guangling didn't say much, just left a sentence and started walking away.

Han Li didn't say much and followed behind into the training ground.

Upon seeing him arrive, Guangling immediately opened the box, revealing its contents: a beautiful butterfly, much larger than before, with its wings shimmering with several different colors, looking quite dreamy under the sunlight.

"The Elemental Butterfly is only four hundred years old, making it quite rare. The colors on its wings represent the elements it has initially mastered. It doesn't have a fixed habitat. Decades ago, it was accidentally absorbed by a Soul Master and gained a Soul Skill with elemental affinity. Later, tests by the Martial Soul Research Department showed that it can only produce this one Soul Skill. In addition, it will slightly enhance mental power, but the elements it mastered in its previous life will not be attached to its Soul Ring. It can be said that it perfectly meets your requirements."

"No one who has absorbed its spirit ring has yet mastered powerful attack capabilities through spirit skills. The most powerful one has ever managed is to light a cigarette. It can be said that how much it is developed depends entirely on the spirit master's ability. Now, you still have a chance to regret it."

Guangling said with a serious expression, which served as another reminder.

"That's it, teacher, trust me."

Han Li did not hesitate, his eyes burning as he stared intently at the elemental butterfly that was trying to break through the soul power shield.

"Alright, let's also check your initial attack power."

Guangling stopped trying to persuade her and, as she dispersed her soul power shield, slapped the Elemental Butterfly.

Han Li looked at the Elemental Butterfly, which was still flying shakily, and then glanced at the Light Feather, whose eyes had already closed. He couldn't believe it wasn't intentional. He sighed inwardly: My good teacher, have you forgotten that your disciple used to practice swordsmanship and doesn't know how to shoot arrows at all?

Seeing the elemental butterfly preparing to take off, Han Li knew he didn't have much time to hesitate. He decisively summoned his martial soul, and the ice and fire blades instantly switched positions, with the ice blade now in his right hand.

As Guangling cautiously opened her eyes and looked on with a "Huh?" expression, Han Li sprinted forward, leaping up suddenly. The icy blade, carrying a chilling aura, instantly struck the Elemental Butterfly's head. A wound appeared on its head, but the blood froze instantly. Just as its body stiffened and was about to fall, a fire blade pierced its soft abdomen, simultaneously scorching the flesh near its wound.

"fire."

At Han Li's shout, a layer of flame suddenly erupted from the fire blade, igniting the elemental butterfly's wings covered in phosphorus powder. Han Li then turned and ran away with his sword, showing no intention of taking the opportunity to attack again.

In just a few steps, he had run back to Guangling's side, leaning back slightly as he watched the Elemental Butterfly, which was rolling on the ground, unable to extinguish its flames, quietly waiting for it to explode with gold coins.
