Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 182 is here, bro! Your seventh spirit ring has been delivered.

After continuous resuscitation efforts—no, it should be said that they helped Qingluan sit up again and administered a lot of restorative medicine—it took him more than ten minutes to recover.

"Are the aftereffects really that severe?"

Guangling looked at Han Li and Qingluan with some confusion.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

The first to speak out against him was Dugu Bo, who looked at Qingluan with a hint of envy.

"Qingluan only suffered some minor physical injuries. With Xiao Li's medicinal herbs, he will be fully recovered in a week at most, and his physical strength will even increase significantly. Listen carefully, significantly."

Dugu Bo emphasized it again.

"Yes, he's right. It's not that serious. It was my martial soul that actively absorbed the power of space, which caused this result. You'd better not try it; it's too dangerous."

Qingluan took the initiative to look up at the group and offered an explanation.

"But didn't my senior master also integrate spatial attributes through this?"

Han Li has finished communicating with his obedient son and has figured out the whole story.

To be honest, Han Li had considered many aspects, but the change caused by the brief boost in luck was something he hadn't anticipated.

Even his senior brother, who was known for his calmness and composure, deviated from the original plan and chose to take a risk instead of stopping, which was beyond his expectations.

"Well, I probably wouldn't dare to do it again. Luckily, my wind attribute and sound waves are quite compatible with spatial energy, which is why I managed to succeed by sheer luck."

Qingluan spoke with a bitter smile, tinged with lingering fear.

"I'm sorry, there wasn't enough time to inform you at that point, so I had to continue."

Qingluan looked at Han Li and took the initiative to apologize. If something really went wrong with him, it would probably have a very bad impact on Han Li.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. I didn't think things through when it came to the Martial Soul. It seems I need to recalculate."

Han Li already knew the specifics and understood that some things had undergone subtle changes under the blessing of fate, which explained Qingluan's unease.

"Your ability to control the situation is not as good as your senior master's, so you absolutely cannot be rash."

Han Li's expression was very serious. He would rather the others be weaker or fail than see anyone perish because of it.

The group looked at Qingluan, then at Han Li, and nodded heavily.

"Alright, let's let our senior brother recover first, we shouldn't disturb him. Come with me, I need to re-simulate the process."

Han Li left behind a few more doses of medicine before leading the group to the side, giving Qingluan space to recover.

With a successful precedent already established, and by reconfirming the status of the individuals, Han Li and the dimensional consciousness quickly revised the plan, adding variables and allowing for future changes.

Qingluan also took the opportunity to gradually adjust her condition. Although she was still slightly weak, she had finally recovered some of her combat strength.

After a simple test, the power of the new Soul Core was finally revealed to everyone for the first time.

Just considering the pure cultivation and recovery speed, based on Qingluan's previous data, it has increased by 20%. Not to mention that after obtaining the Soul Core, the subsequent improvement is all-round.

Moreover, after the soul core was formed, according to Qingluan, his perception of his martial soul became clearer, and even his control over his power improved significantly.

As long as he accumulates enough soul power, he will definitely be able to break through to the next level.

Compared to previous soul skills, its power has been slightly increased, with an overall improvement of about 10%, but the consumption has been reduced by about 5%, further enhancing its combat strength.

This data startled several people. It could almost be considered a pretty good Soul Ring skill. Most importantly, it was a constant buff that wouldn't be reduced as the level increased.

That wasn't all. Right under their noses, Qingluan once again demonstrated its hidden abilities.

He completely concealed his aura, allowing Guangling to probe him with her spiritual power.

After Guangling tried it, the feedback he received told him that the person standing in front of him was an ordinary person with no soul power fluctuations.

"The effect of this concealment technique is truly astonishing."

Guangling's eyes lit up. You see, his invisible arrows were silent and invisible, but they were simply useless against ordinary people.

If the same effect could be applied to attacks, there would be no need for a Soul Fusion Technique; his combat power would be greatly enhanced.

"I can only perfectly conceal the fluctuations of soul power at present. This is the limit of what I can do. This is the so-called effect of the unity of essence, energy and spirit that Xiao Li mentioned. As for applying it to attacks, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Qingluan understood his thoughts and offered a reminder.

"It's alright, you'll see after you try. Even if you can only do as well as you, I'll be very satisfied."

Guangling waved her hand dismissively, saying that it would be good if it were possible, but it didn't matter if it wasn't.

"When do we start?"

He turned to look at Han Li, already somewhat impatient.

"It's better to let the surrounding energy recover; that would be safer."

Han Li pointed to the ordinary plants around him that had been battered and broken, making his stance clear.

The process of Qingluan condensing her soul core had reduced the energy concentration here. Since the others were not as good at controlling energy as Qingluan, it was better to play it safe.

"All right."

Guangling glanced around with some regret, then pulled Qingluan aside and eagerly inquired about the details of the process.

The others also gathered around and began to absorb a new round of insights and experiences.

With the successful template in mind, Han Li held ceremonies for several people over the next twenty-odd days.

It has to be said that having connections in the court makes things much easier. With the assistance of the biggest mole within the dimensional consciousness, the group almost always succeeded on their first try.

Only Xiuer had a slight difficulty when condensing her soul core, and almost lost control of her solid soul power, causing an explosion, but she managed to pull through in the end.

Unfortunately, her martial soul primarily enhances physical strength, making her a true heavy armor warrior, which is somewhat different from the mage path of the other two women.

She is far inferior to Guangling and Dugu Bo, who hold the title. Their control over mental power is not even on the same level. Even though she had previously improved her mental power with the Blood Fiend Technique and had been working hard to train and learn during this period, she still has certain shortcomings in this area.

Seeing that Xiuer had also succeeded and entered the post-operative recovery period, Han Li finally relaxed, as the first stage of his goal had been achieved.

"Xiao Li? What about you? Aren't you planning to condense your soul core yet?"

Guangling came closer, looked at the very relaxed Han Li, and asked.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm waiting for a gift to come to me, and I'll get my seventh spirit ring along with it."

Han Li slowly changed his position on the big rock, making himself more comfortable.

"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? You're not even level 70 yet. Even if a soul beast comes knocking on your door, you'd still need to be able to absorb it."

Guangling reached out and touched his forehead to check his temperature, giving him a look that said, "Are you alright?"

"Master, have you forgotten about the sacrifice? You just experienced it not long ago."

Han Li brushed his hand away from his forehead and replied helplessly.

"Even if it's a sacrifice, you still have to go out and find one. Do you think soul beasts will just come to you here on their own?"

Guangling didn't doubt Han Li's statement. After experiencing so much, he completely believed that Han Li could encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast offering sacrifice.

But to lie here, in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire where even soul beasts dare not set foot, seems somewhat unrealistic.

"We're still looking, we're still looking. Let's stay for three more days. If Sister Xiu'er hasn't recovered by then, I'll listen to you and go out to look for one, okay?"

Han Li lazily rolled over, looking like a salted fish.

Heaven knows how tired he was from helping the three women condense their soul cores ahead of time. Spatial abilities are not something they can perceive at this stage. In order for them to perceive and master and absorb the basics, his mental strength has not yet fully recovered.

It's a deal.

Guang Ling shook his head and walked to the side. He wasn't forcing Han Li to cultivate.

However, they will soon leave Tiandou and return to Wuhun City. Han Li hasn't reached the Soul Saint stage yet, and he's still a little worried. After all, Han Li will most likely face people from the three upper sects next, so naturally, the stronger the better.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiuer had fully recovered. Her recovery time was actually the shortest among them, proving that everyone has their own expertise.

Around noon, Han Li gathered everyone together and asked them to conceal their presence and enter the stone chamber.

He plunged headfirst into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, leaving only his head sticking out, which looked both terrifying and funny.

About half an hour later, in the center of the deserted basin, a section of the flat ground suddenly collapsed.

Amidst the puzzled looks of the group, a fair and delicate object emerged from the ground below, its immense spiritual power sweeping across the surrounding environment.

Upon contact with the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it paused for a moment, and then the family saw something leap out of the ground quickly and run towards the pool.

Only then did the group realize what exactly had appeared.

It was an ice silkworm, but different from ordinary ice silkworms.

It has a diameter of over one meter and a length of over seven meters. Its entire body is white jade-colored, crystal clear, with a halo flowing beneath its skin, and a pair of small, golden eyes on its head.

The white thing that the group saw at first glance should be this guy's head.

Continuing to look down, this ice silkworm has a golden ring every so often, starting half a meter from its head. There are a total of ten golden rings from head to tail, making it quite extraordinary just by looking at it.

What shocked them even more was that the chubby ice silkworm, while heading towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, actually spoke up: "Brother, it's all brother's fault. Sure enough, those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune. I, Tianmeng, was able to find such a treasure land. I truly am the future star of soul beasts."

"Di Tian, ​​you only deserve to eat Tianmeng's farts. When I get stronger, I'll definitely go back and beat you up, as well as that wretched bear and that big dog. Revenge, revenge! In the future, Tianmeng will make you offer up your spiritual energy for me to absorb."

"Yeah, and Bingbing too. The environment here is also very good for her. Oh, but I still need to become stronger before I can consider this."

This insect was like a chatterbox, muttering incessantly as it approached the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Finally, it stopped in front of the ice and fire duality, looked at the milky white extremely frozen spring, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and seemed a little hesitant.

"I'll just take a sip, it should be fine, right?"

Before it could finish speaking, its head slowly lowered, clearly answering the question it had posed.

"It should be fine, but you can't drink too much at once."

In the center of the pool, a human head emerged and answered with certainty.

"Hmm, that makes sense. I'll try it first, thanks."

Tianmeng subconsciously replied, then looked up at the direction from which the voice came, its body frozen in place, half-bent over.
