Chapter 217 Both Advance to Soul King, Tang Hao Finally Returns to Heavenly Battle

Han Li glanced at him with amusement, then looked at Dugu Yan beside him and nodded to her.

Dugu Yan didn't dawdle. She reached to her waist with her right hand, and a large, pale pink flower appeared in her hand. Then she took a few steps forward and handed it to Ju Douluo.

"A celestial delicacy, exquisitely fragrant!"

Without needing any introduction, Yue Guan immediately exclaimed in surprise. This was the immortal delicacy he had longed for, and now it was right before his eyes.

However, he did not accept it immediately. Instead, under everyone's gaze, he straightened his posture, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wiped his hands, and then cautiously accepted it with both hands.

With just a few simple movements, everyone was stunned.

Several people believed that, given the right conditions, he would not mind burning incense and taking a bath before making contact.

That wasn't all. After receiving the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, he skillfully set up a soul power shield around himself.

"Its fragrance will attract soul beasts, making it quite dangerous in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, if Guang Ling were here, it could be used to attract soul beasts with its fragrance and choose suitable soul rings."

What is professionalism? This is professionalism.

This information was not actually recorded in the plant encyclopedia; it was clearly collected by Chrysanthemum Douluo later.

As for Han Li, he did know him, but he always needed soul rings through other channels and didn't need this effect. Besides, Dugu Yan and Xiu'er had always been with him, so he forgot to mention it.

Yue Guan held the fragrant and exquisite fairy product, examining it over and over for a long time. She looked at Han Li somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Your Highness, may I take just a little bit of the pollen? Just a little bit, I promise I won't harm it."

"I'd like to try crossbreeding with other rare species to see if I can gain any special characteristics. I'll report back to you as soon as I have any results."

Han Li looked at the somewhat apprehensive Chrysanthemum Douluo and nodded with a smile: "Do as you please, as long as you don't damage it."

For him, the medicinal herb wasn't that important, and besides, he was the first to benefit from the research results, so naturally he wouldn't refuse it.

With Han Li's permission, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately got busy, and it took him a while to put the things away.

Afterwards, he admired the divine item in his hand for a while longer before reluctantly handing it to Dugu Yan.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Consider this a favor I owe you. Within my power, you may make any request, and I will do my best to fulfill it."

Yue Guan solemnly bowed to Han Li and made a promise.

"Then I'll remember that, Elder Ju."

Han Li smiled but did not continue speaking.

Sometimes, favors don't necessarily need to be used; saving them is the best option. And to be honest, he really couldn't think of anything that Yue Guan needed to do.

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at the immortal herb in Dugu Yan's hand before cupping his hands in greeting: "Your Highness, I shall take my leave now. I wish you continued success in your martial endeavors."

"Alright, I'll have another drink with you another time."

Han Li returned the greeting, then watched Chrysanthemum Douluo leave, turning back to look at him every few steps.

"If Elder Ju is in a normal state, she is quite easy to get along with."

Dugu Yan put away the immortal herb and looked at Yue Guan, who was gradually disappearing into the distance, and said.

"Don't let the old man hear you say that, or he'll throw a tantrum."

Han Li chuckled and teased Dugu Yan before continuing their journey in the same direction.

"It's okay, Grandpa won't be angry with me anyway."

"By the way, Xiao Li, how do you plan to use Elder Ju's favor?"

"I haven't decided yet, let's talk about it later. Right now, let's focus on getting Zhu Qing and Ling Ling their spirit rings first..."

Amidst their laughter and conversation, the group continued walking in the predetermined direction, showing no sign of the tension expected of a Soul Hunter.

Meanwhile, Yue Guan quickly returned to his original position.

When the ghost saw him return, it cast an inquiring glance at him. Yue Guan nodded and smiled, but said nothing. The ghost then closed its eyes again, indicating that things had gone smoothly.

Xie Yue and Yan stood to the side with their heads down, occasionally glancing at Hu Liena who was still meditating, seemingly lost in thought.

-

Compared to the somber atmosphere on their side, Han Li and his group were having a much smoother time.

After venturing deeper for nearly half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination. Clearing a path through Han Li's territory, they knocked two soul beasts unconscious with a few arrows and then forcibly controlled them to perform a sacrificial ritual.

Of course, under Han Li's mental sharing, the mental impact was mostly absorbed by Zhu Zhuqing, keeping her in a state of maximum pressure, allowing her to train her mental strength while also successfully absorbing it.

Incidentally, she also acquired two leg bones that were 50,000 years old, which were temporarily stored away to be used for rapid upgrades and overall enhancement after she successfully condensed her soul core.

These two consecutive absorptions of soul rings across vastly different levels propelled Zhu Zhuqing's level to 53, and she was on the verge of breaking through.

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of disorientation as she experienced the surging soul power within her body and the two dark soul rings above her head.

Of course, the biggest gain was not just that, but her martial soul. The two absorptions of the soul rings, combined with the influence of the Evil God Pearl, finally caused a noticeable change in her martial soul.

First, a pair of wings grew from the back of the Netherworld Cat. Although they were not very big, and could even be described as small, Zhu Zhuqing undoubtedly gained the ability to fly.

Secondly, the basic attributes of the Netherworld Cat have been greatly enhanced, including strength, speed, and dark attributes.

In Han Li's words, even if this cat were to launch a direct attack, its strength would not be weaker than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Of course, its attributes would still be countered, and its defense would be much weaker.

But assassins are all about agility and stealth, then finding the right moment to unleash a burst of power. It would be foolish to try melee combat and head-on assaults.

Finally, perhaps it was because she always wore the Evil God Bead, and because Han Li often assisted her in her cultivation, that she would also activate the Dark Domain.

After this enhancement, Zhu Zhuqing also showed a faint tendency to form a domain. Although it was still very rough and only had this beginning, it was still a pleasant surprise.

Well, we'll train him properly when we get back, and try to finish it within a year, no, two years. This was something Han Li hadn't expected.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingling was also absorbing the soul rings on the side.

Her fifth spirit ring is a mutated variety of a golden-edged sunflower called Star Moon Orchid. It grows in this seemingly eerie forest, absorbing moonlight to condense a dew-like substance to heal the dark-attribute spirit beasts here. It can be considered the darling of the entire area.

Coincidentally, Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, after absorbing the Qiluo Tulip, also acquired certain star characteristics, making it one of the most suitable soul beasts for her.

Similarly, after being manipulated into a sacrifice, she also obtained a piece of her right arm bone, which was temporarily collected as well.

After absorbing the soul ring, Ye Lingling's level also jumped to level 59. She only needs to find another soul beast to sacrifice to before she can directly enter the Soul Emperor realm.

However, she refused.

Unfortunately, her mental strength couldn't keep up for the time being. Even now, when she was controlling her martial soul to heal, she couldn't perform precise treatment and it was very difficult for her.

Although she could choose to achieve a miracle through sheer force, Ye Lingling refused to improve further. She had already witnessed Han Li's methods for rapidly improving people's abilities, so there was no need to deliberately pursue them.

Anyway, her current healing abilities are already sufficient, so she should take some time to reflect and properly absorb what she has learned during this period.

Rapid improvement in a short period of time is bound to have some shortcomings. Fortunately, there are now cultivation techniques that can quickly make up for the shortcomings in mental strength. In short, it won't take long, as long as the minimum standard for condensing a soul core can be achieved later.

Since she had said so, Han Li did not insist and left the Star Dou Great Forest with the others.

Just as Han Li and his group were reaping great rewards, Tang Hao in Sunset Forest finally remembered that he had a son and needed to go back to continue concealing Xiao Wu's identity.

After searching for more than a month and living like a wild man for so long, Tang Hao still found nothing.

Enraged, he casually killed several passing soul beasts to vent his anger before heading towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Then, he discovered that the original seven people had become six, and the atmosphere of the Royal Fighting Team 2 was extremely dull.

"Yu Xiaogang, tell me, what happened?"

Yu Xiaogang, who had been temporarily stripped of his training privileges, was lost in thought when he heard a voice behind him, and a familiar figure was already standing behind him.

"Your Majesty Haotian, you have finally revealed yourself."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang Hao, who, despite his unkempt appearance and unshaven beard, exuded an aura of power, with excitement, and his eyes even welled up with tears.

The person who could stand up for him has finally returned. Heaven knows how deeply Flander's actions, which showed absolutely no regard for brotherhood, had hurt him after that incident.

Now that His Majesty the Jade Emperor has returned, he has a voice; His Majesty the Jade Emperor has returned, and he has his sun.

Looking at the excited Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao frowned slightly. Why can't he understand human language? Didn't he hear his question?

Immediately, he mobilized his momentum and fiercely pressed down on the location where Yu Xiaogang was.

He wasn't in a good mood. He hadn't found the place where the sacrifice had been supposedly taken, nor had he discovered the treasure. He also hadn't figured out the identity of that unfamiliar Title Douluo.

Normally, he could tolerate this behavior because the man was willing to teach his mistress some basic knowledge and was a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But now, he had no interest in playing around with this good-for-nothing.

Caught in the blast, Yu Xiaogang was slammed onto the table, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, but he forced it back down.

It was only then that he realized that the person was in a bad mood, and he had just happened to be in the middle of it.
