Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 181 Ning Fengzhi, who forcibly condenses a soul core by exploiting a bug, is targeted.

The next morning, after receiving the supplies delivered by the Chamber of Commerce, the group disguised themselves and left the city again, heading towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

To be honest, some of them knew about the existence of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, but they had never actually seen it in person, and they were very much looking forward to it.

Traveling at full speed, they arrived at the edge of Sunset Forest in just over an hour.

Dugu Bo led the way with practiced ease. Returning to this place, his mood was quite different from before.

This is a turning point in his life; perhaps the opportunity to break through to level 96 lies here. He can't help but be excited.

They easily traversed the poisonous miasma, and the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was revealed before them. Qingluan, Shui Bing'er, and Xiu'er, who had never been here before, were all somewhat stunned, their eyes mesmerized by the magnificent scenery.

"Alright, let's go down."

Han Li called out to the group, picked up Xiu'er, and began to descend.

Having been away for so long, he needs to harvest some "food" first. Although many of the medicines below are no longer of a crucial role, they are still excellent for assisting cultivation.

Han Li led Guang Ling and a few others to wander around the area, while Han Li pulled Dugu Bo along to begin a thorough sweep.

Over the past few years, Dugu Bo has practically worn out that plant guide. He also learned from his mistakes and, with the help of the Spirit Hall and the Chamber of Commerce, collected a bunch of medical books and related materials to study.

Now, he can definitely be considered Douluo's encyclopedia of plants, and there will never again be a situation where a treasure is right in front of him but he knows nothing about it.

If anyone were to try to fool him with this kind of knowledge, he would absolutely grind that person to dust and scatter them to the winds, and he would wipe out their entire family without sparing the earthworm.

Later, Dugu Yan and Xiu'er, who also had some knowledge of this, joined in. They worked for nearly two hours before they were able to collect all the medicinal herbs.

They sowed the seeds again and looked at the bare Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, feeling an indescribable joy.

"I wish we could move away."

Dugu Bo sighed; he genuinely felt some regret.

"Maybe it will actually be possible in the future."

Han Li responded with a smile and then instructed the others to begin rebuilding their living quarters around the stone chamber he had dug out below the platform.

The group's current strength is no longer afraid of the influence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. On the contrary, they can use the energy here to cultivate, so there is no need to build a wooden house on the platform.

After everything was settled, the group rested briefly before turning their attention to Han Li and Qing Luan, before the main event began.

"Senior Uncle, when would you like to start?"

Han Li didn't dawdle and looked directly at Qingluan.

"Let's do it now."

Qingluan rarely smiled, and walked to the side, away from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Han Li followed, but left the others a little further away, and instructed Dugu Bo to protect them, saying that if necessary, the skull could be used directly.

Although he had simulated it many times, Han Li still kept his vigilance at the highest level. Spatial abilities are different from other elements; if you are careless with this thing, it can really be fatal.

After confirming with Qingluan again, Han Li directly used his external soul bone. His right eye glowed faintly, and he simultaneously released the Evil God Hook behind him.

Not only that, he also secretly instructed his obedient son to allocate some of his luck to Qingluan to ensure a higher success rate.

Of course, he didn't forget the most important thing. He had the plane's consciousness directly seal off the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and at the same time used the energy here to form a protective shield around it, ensuring that the strange phenomena here would never be leaked out.

"Then I'll begin."

Qingluan glanced at Han Li, who was already fully armed, and nodded to the others in the distance before starting to use the method written on the paper.

With his Martial Soul in possession, a continuous stream of cyan liquid soul power began to flow from Qingluan's dantian, forming a water sphere-like object in front of him, predominantly cyan, in conjunction with his colorless spiritual power.

Under his control, it continuously rotated, compressed, and rapidly shrank until it formed a funnel-shaped energy vortex with the cyan bead as the singularity. Moreover, it continued to expand, frantically drawing energy from the surrounding area.

"It's very stable, Master Uncle. Continue to increase your soul power output. Don't worry about what happens next."

Qingluan's control over his own abilities is no joke. He has stayed at the Super Douluo level for a long enough time that he can spend most of that time honing his skills, which is something that rapidly rising Soul Masters cannot compare to.

Upon hearing Han Li's call, Qingluan unleashed all her energy in just a few breaths, barely managing to maintain the stability of the bead in front of her, which was gradually solidifying into solidified soul power, thanks only to the residual soul power restored by the medicine she had taken beforehand and the connection with her martial soul.

The small energy funnel, which had been there earlier, paused for a moment under the influence of Qingluan's full-force output and the dense energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, before becoming violent again.

With the bead as the singularity, space was torn apart, and numerous black cracks emitted a chilling energy, constantly twisting and fluctuating, even causing small explosions in the distance.

At this moment, Han Li also made his move. Under his control, the Evil God Hook behind him quickly extended, stabilizing the space around Qingluan while continuously drawing spatial energy and sending it into the cyan solid bead, which had already turned black and whose space had collapsed.

With Han Li's help, terrifying energy fluctuations surged rapidly toward the bead, causing dense cracks to appear on its surface, as if it would shatter and explode at any moment.

But upon seeing this, both Han Li and Qing Luan showed joy.

"Now, Master Uncle, let's move on to the next step."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingluan, who had already rehearsed the scene many times, no longer hesitated.

"Sacrifice".

These two words were unexpectedly uttered by a human Soul Master, and what was most surprising was that after Qingluan shouted them out, the heavens and earth responded, and two blood-red energy pillars rose from the spot.

No, to be precise, there should be three, because two of the energy beams overlap, but their energy directions are opposite.

That's right, this is the crazy idea that Han Li came up with. In Douluo Continent, there is a rule about sacrifice, and the way he condensed the soul core was actually by exploiting a bug in the rule.

Two beams of blood-red sacrificial light emanated simultaneously from the blue bead in front of Qingluan and from his body, but the object of the sacrifice was also Qingluan himself.

The cyan bead contains the soul power, spiritual power, and extracted spatial power of the Azure Phoenix, while the Azure Phoenix's sacrifice mainly consists of his physical strength and blood.

To be precise, the soul power transfer route he gave them was intended to deceive the rules by manipulating the fluctuations caused by the soul beast sacrifice, allowing his obedient son to seize control.

Once the sacrifice is initiated, the plane's consciousness takes over. Under the influence of the rules, protecting Qingluan's body from injury, whether it condenses into a soul ring or a soul core is no longer a problem. Moreover, since all the energy originates from itself, there is no need to worry about compatibility.

To be honest, the most difficult part of Han Li's proposed method of creating soul cores is actually the initial external compression of soul power and mental power, which allows the spatial power to be actively devoured and maintained at its peak for a certain period of time.

It's not that he can't help them skip this stage, but there's still a difference between autonomously sensing the combination of spatial power and one's own power, and having spatial power forcibly stuffed into them by him, even with the purification process of sacrifice.

This is also why he and the others said that the version of soul core condensation he developed is only suitable for geniuses and requires his assistance.

If someone were to condense a soul core using his method, and Han Li did not allow it, even if that person succeeded, they would most likely only obtain a soul ring, and one without any skills.

Even if he were luckier and managed to obtain a natal soul ring, it would only have a limited lifespan and no additional benefits.

Given the current scarcity of self-created soul skills in Douluo Continent, he will most likely become the next laughing stock.

Of course, most importantly, this method of condensing soul cores is very resource-intensive.

After all, it is a sacrifice. Even with the control of the plane's consciousness, such an extremely domineering method requires a lot of physical conditioning after success, which is beyond what ordinary people can bear. It may even leave hidden injuries.

This is also why Han Li chose the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Besides having abundant energy, he has no shortage of medicinal herbs to nourish his body.

Looking at his Uncle-Master Qingluan, who was enveloped in a pillar of blood-red light, Han Li suddenly thought of someone.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he's always wanted to break through to level 80, right? I'll talk to him about it later, but I don't know if he dares to try.

This is a great idea; it suits him perfectly.

For Ning Fengzhi, this was not just about having an extra spirit ring. Even if he found out he had been tricked afterward, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Regardless of whether the new spirit ring is useful or not, he has indeed increased his strength significantly.

If Han Li were to pull some tricks at that time, it would be reasonable for him to condense a white ring, since it is well known that the direct lineage of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's martial soul has no combat power.

Going from being stuck at level 79 to level 80 is a qualitative leap from Soul Saint to Soul Douluo; he should thank us.

As for the slight increase in combat power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it's not that Han Li underestimated them, but even if Ning Fengzhi broke through to the title level, it was still nothing special, not even enough to defeat Guang Ling alone.

The more Han Li thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and the smile on his face began to turn increasingly wicked.

Not far in front of him, the crimson energy beams around Qingluan began to weaken, revealing his figure.

Seeing the energy begin to recede, the group of people in the distance slowly approached to observe the changes in the Azure Phoenix.

"Is this considered a success?"

Through the beam of light, Dugu Bo looked at the Azure Phoenix, whose body was covered with dense blue patterns, and then looked at Han Li with some uncertainty.

"Of course, it was a great success. It was even more perfect than I had imagined. Senior Uncle Qingluan's self-control is truly the strongest."

Han Li also saw the shimmering blue patterns that seemed to breathe, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Qingluan actually preserved all the spatial power he injected; there might be an additional surprise.

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, the blood-red pillar of light around Qingluan suddenly contracted and disappeared completely a few seconds later.

The group looked towards the Azure Phoenix and saw that the azure patterns were rapidly fading away, eventually condensing into the shape of a martial spirit in the dantian. After flashing a few times, it disappeared without a trace.

And Qingluan finally opened her eyes.

As soon as Qingluan opened his eyes, he saw several people staring straight at him. He couldn't help but smile wryly, "Stop looking, it's a success. Help me up, I'm a little exhausted."

The group paused for a moment, then rushed over quickly. Han Li even took out a pill he had prepared earlier and put it into his mouth.
