Chapter 201 The Operation Begins: Exploiting Tang San

"Martial Soul Possession".

Without Han Li having to urge her, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to enter a state of cultivation, showing that she was at the top in terms of enthusiasm and attitude.

Unfortunately, she tried for a full ten minutes but couldn't get back into the same state she had in the morning. Instead, she became increasingly agitated.

However, she didn't complain, but continued to try.

The other four remained silent, waiting quietly. There was nothing shameful about failing; on the contrary, they wanted to see how long she could hold on.

And so, an hour passed quietly.

Zhu Zhuqing still failed. The closest she came was only to make the Evil God Pearl flicker slightly, and then there was no further movement.

"Alright, stop for now. You won't succeed if you continue."

Finally, Han Li stopped her attempt.

Zhu Zhuqing released her martial spirit possession, but the disappointment in her eyes was hard to hide.

You have to understand, in her condition, it was as if Han Li and the others had fed her the food; she could smell the aroma, but she still vomited it up.

"Don't be discouraged. It's just your first attempt. It only means you're going in the wrong direction. It's not a big deal."

Han Li didn't care about her failure, which was perfectly normal.

If you ask an elementary school student to solve advanced mathematics, it's only natural that they can't even find the door. Even if they once got a perfect score in an elementary school math Olympiad.

"Don't forget what I told you before: what is invisible to the eye and silent to the ear is called the netherworld."

"The Netherworld Cat is the essence of the cat, while the Netherworld aspect is its attribute. The Zhu family has already made in-depth developments in the Netherworld Cat, which is also the foundation of their heritage. There is no need for me to add anything unnecessary."

"And the Netherworld, or rather the Dark attribute, is the attribute I hope you can develop. If you can't understand it right away, try applying it first."

"What do you think is the biggest difference between the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul and other Martial Souls of the same type?"

Seeing that she still looked confused, Han Li simply changed his teaching method.

"It possesses a certain degree of stealth and elemental abilities by nature."

Without Han Li needing to remind her, Zhu Zhuqing answered without hesitation, as this was knowledge she had heard countless times since childhood.

"That's right, that's the biggest characteristic of your martial soul. It's just that many times, people subconsciously rely on soul skills to fight, and rarely pay attention to the characteristics of the martial soul itself."

"When acquiring spirit rings, one should rely on the experience left by predecessors and try to acquire spirit beasts that are as similar to one's own spirit to enhance combat power."

"Starting from the essence of a martial soul is not necessarily wrong, but it is very likely that some characteristics of the martial soul will be overlooked, resulting in the inability to fully develop the martial soul's abilities."

Given that this cat's basic knowledge was so poor, Han Li practically broke down and explained the knowledge points in detail before handing them over.

Zhu Zhuqing listened to Han Li's words and nodded repeatedly.

"So, the reason I asked you to try developing your martial soul is not to make you imitate the spirit cat, but to let you feel the dark attribute that it inherently possesses."

"By utilizing the dark attribute and combining it with the cat's inherent agility, you can enhance stealth and stealth effects. This is what you need to grasp now. As for integrating it into attacks, that's part of the training later. Understand?"

"Thank you, I'll try again."

Zhu Zhuqing finally grasped the key point and understood why she had been unable to get into the zone earlier.

In the morning, she did indeed unintentionally agree with what Han Li had just said, putting all her energy into that attack.

Having grasped the principle, Zhu Zhuqing, who was herself a genius and whose talent was not top-notch, was quite knowledgeable and had a broad perspective, quickly got into the swing of things.

This time, she successfully grasped the key points and returned to her previous state.

The most obvious change was that a thin layer of black mist rose around her. Although it was still very faint, it was at least a change.

"You can move around a bit, compare the difference between the normal state and the shadow, and try to actively use those elements to achieve the result you want."

Seeing that she had already entered the door, Han Li gave her a timely reminder.

"it is good."

Without further ado, Zhu Zhuqing responded and began running during training, following his suggestion and constantly trying different things.

Although she could only keep the Evil God Pearl glowing faintly until her soul power was exhausted, and even then it was intermittent, it was still a huge improvement compared to before.

"Hmm, not bad. Continue to work towards this goal. Don't remove the Evil God Bead from your body for now. Wearing it while cultivating will also be helpful to you."

Seeing that she was still going to persist, Han Li stopped her, saying that excessive cultivation and overdrawing one's body was not a good habit.

"Let's restore your soul power first, then you can continue practicing. Xiu'er and Bing'er, you two can put some pressure on her appropriately, just be careful not to get injured."

"Sister Yan, get the letter ready. Perfect timing, I'm going to the Chamber of Commerce to pick out some common medicinal herbs, I'll bring them with me in a bit."

Han Li left the training ground with Dugu Yan.

After finishing writing the letter, Han Li left the courtyard and headed towards the Chamber of Commerce.

Half an hour later, just as he returned to the vicinity of the courtyard, he saw someone staring at the gate not far away, as if something was amiss.

"Who are you?"

Silently, Han Li appeared behind him, revealing his true face.

Only the Chamber of Commerce and Qian Renxue knew about this place. He had just come from the Chamber of Commerce, so naturally only the latter could find this place.

As for whether the person who came was from either of the two factions, then he would have to personally escort them away.

"Greetings, Your Highness. Please forgive me for not being able to perform the proper greeting. It was the young master's instruction to wait for you here. This is information concerning Zhu Zhuqing of the Heaven Dou Academy; please take a look."

The newcomer was a Soul Emperor, not weak at all. However, since they were still on the street, he did not greet them. Instead, he humbly made a gesture and handed over a letter with both hands.

"Okay, just a moment."

Han Li took the envelope, opened it, and began to read its contents.

After reading it, he set the letter on fire, and it turned to ashes and fell to the ground.

"Go back and tell her that Zhu Zhuqing is with me. She can handle the rest herself. I'll go see her personally after I've finished what I'm doing."

Han Li had originally planned to go find Qian Renxue after the operation tonight, but since she had already sent people over, there was no need to rush.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Soul Emperor who delivered the message bowed again, observed the surroundings, and then quickly left.

Han Li shook his head and stepped back into the courtyard.

He wasn't worried about the newcomer's identity because he sensed the aura of the Angelic Martial Soul on this Soul Emperor, something that couldn't be faked.

After preparing some medications specifically for Zhu Zhuqing's current condition, he saw several people walk out of the training ground.

"There are no servants here, so you'll have to take your own medicinal bath. This place has been renovated, and although it's still a bit basic, it's enough for your simple cultivation needs."

After glancing at Zhu Zhuqing, who was practically carried out by several people, Han Li immediately realized that she had simply exhausted her soul power again, rather than overdrawn it, so he handed the medicine packet to Xiu'er.

"Once she has recovered a bit, Sister Xiuer, could you show her around the area?"

After a while, the Chamber of Commerce delivered the food, and the group had already cleaned themselves up and were full of energy again.

"Oh, right, I'm going out for a bit tonight. I need to help her recover when I get back, so don't wait for me. You can continue your cultivation on your own."

Han Li said this to Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er.

According to the previous cultivation routine, tonight's accelerated cultivation time belongs to them.

"Okay, you go ahead and do what you need to do. Do you need any help?"

Shui Bing'er looked up at him and asked a question.

"No need, I'm more efficient on my own, and there's no danger."

Han Li shook his head and refused.

He was going to find Tang San tonight because of Zhu Zhuqing's matter. He hadn't completely copied Tang San's cultivation technique; he only had some incomplete soul power circulation routes.

Perfect timing! His emotions are running high today, making it the perfect opportunity. He plans to rip Tang San bald in one go, as it's inconvenient to bring others along.

"Alright."

Dugu Yan said with some disappointment.

She had been excitedly planning to sneak in at night with Han Li when she heard he was going out that night, but now it seems her hopes have been dashed.

"You should focus on your cultivation. Once you reach the Soul Saint level and possess the Martial Soul True Body, your cultivation speed will continue to increase. Even without me, your dual cultivation speed with Bing'er is not slow."

Han Li knew her personality well, so he smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Then, he saw Zhu Zhuqing blinking, unable to understand what they were saying.

"If you're really bored, use this time to educate Zhuqing about some things. I'll leave this task to you."

"no problem."

Dugu Yan readily accepted the task, treating it as preparation for Lingling's arrival.

After dinner, Han Li checked the situation on the other side before leaving the courtyard and heading straight for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

In the luxurious villa of the Royal Academy of Heaven, Royal Team Two.

The group had just finished dinner, but the atmosphere was particularly somber tonight.

Ning Rongrong was not there. She had returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School immediately after the incident that morning and had not returned since.

In the afternoon, Flander had already taken Dai Mubai to visit the Ye family.

After consulting with Xue Qinghe, Ye Mumu, whose martial soul was also the Nine Heart Begonia, personally diagnosed and treated Dai Mubai.

As Master Gou predicted, the situation has not improved. The basic functions are still available, but other functions are out of the question.

After they left, Madam Ye couldn't help but admire the man's exquisite swordsmanship, and even considered befriending him. Of course, it was just a thought; she wouldn't pry into his true intentions—this had always been the Ye family's way of survival.

"Zhu Zhuqing disappeared. After she left the training ground, no one has seen her since."

"The Crown Prince and the three major education committees have also mobilized manpower to search for them. If they find them, they will notify us immediately."

Flander looked at the silent group and then relayed the feedback the school had given him.

"Mu Bai, as for the Star Luo Empire, you can make your own decision. The Crown Prince has sent someone to deliver a message to you, and he will fully support all your actions."

Upon hearing Flander's words, Dai Mubai couldn't help but clench his fist. Finally, there was some good news.

"Alright, everyone go back and rest. I'll go look for her again under the cover of night. She couldn't have just vanished into thin air."

After saying that, Flander left the room and disappeared into the darkness.
