Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 27 The Obedient Son's Continued Efforts and the Troubles of Happiness

Han Li did not immediately implement the plan he had initially formulated, or rather, his plan was not one that could be implemented immediately.

Having finally gotten a vacation, he first went to check on Xiu'er's situation. After discovering that she had already had the people in the manor help to set up the basic framework, he decisively summoned the people from the affiliated families and asked them to take care of the plants temporarily.

After lunch, he informed Guangling, and with a few attendants, he took Xiuer down the mountain and began to explore the Martial Soul City for the first time.

Last time, when Guangling took him around, he only gave a brief explanation, mostly introducing them to the Spirit Hall. He wasn't really interested in anything else then. Now, he wanted to see the city for himself and try to integrate into it.

This was a way of relaxing that he had always enjoyed in his past life. Whenever he was bored, he liked to wander around and feel the pulse of life. Of course, he was different now than before. He had money in his pocket, so he was more assertive.

Most of the people living here are Soul Masters. Although most of them are not high-level, they all have smiles on their faces, and it seems that their quality of life is quite good. Even those who are not Soul Masters are mostly family members of Soul Masters. They know some basic things and do not have the fear that ordinary people have for Soul Masters. Naturally, they will not cast strange glances at Xiu'er because of the ears on her head.

Overall, it felt pretty good. The attendant led the way, explaining everything to them, and Han Li and Xiu'er bought quite a few things. Fortunately, they had storage space, so they didn't have to carry heavy bags. This allowed Han Li to fully appreciate the allure of Gold Soul Coins.

They played wildly until dinner time. Only after being reminded by his attendants did he reluctantly take Xiu'er back to the mountain. The family's personal chef and food-type Soul Master had already prepared special dishes, so dining out was temporarily out of the question.

After dinner and a medicinal bath, Han Li sent Xiu'er back to cultivate, and then he went straight to his room.

Instead of immediately beginning his cultivation, he took out two items from his storage wristband with a strange expression: a gold soul coin and a dark brown gelatinous object.

He picked up the gold soul coin while strolling around in the afternoon. That's right, he picked it up. He didn't do anything; he was just walking normally when a gold soul coin rolled to his feet.

The dark brown, gelatinous substance was, of course, the whale glue he had just planned to slowly release. He had seen it while browsing a luxury store, placed in a corner. As for why a luxury store and not a pharmacy or auction house, it was naturally because at that time, whale glue was still used as an aphrodisiac.

This piece of "millennial whale glue" in poor condition, although it is older than the others, is considered by the merchant to be weathered and can only be kept in the store as a sample for display. They dare not sell it casually, for fear that it might cause some problems and trouble for the customer.

When Han Li proposed to buy it, the shopkeeper even offered a discount, and he only spent 1,000 gold soul coins to get it. Of course, the shopkeeper also kindly explained the situation, saying that if he needed it, he could exchange it for a piece that was a little younger but in better condition.

Of course, Han Li refused, and for this he endured stares that were unbecoming of someone his age. After all, it was difficult to judge a six or seven-year-old child who insisted on buying this thing, which caused his attendants and Xiu'er to look at him strangely.

But Han Li was no ordinary man. Having been brutally beaten, he was the kind of person who, even after awakening, would shamelessly try to establish a connection with Guang Ling. A mere questioning was nothing to him. In the end, he insisted on buying it and promised never to cause trouble because of it. Of course, Xiu'er's flushed face for the latter half of the shopping trip was the price he paid.

"Golden Soul Coins and 'Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue' delivered right to my door, my good son is so thoughtful. I hope he can keep it up." Han Li fiddled with the two items for a while, then threw them into his wristband and entered a state of cultivation.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Han Li woke up on time. Even though he had cultivated late into the night, it didn't affect his sleep quality. No wonder; three months of grueling training had truly made him accustomed to it. Entering a deep sleep in the shortest amount of time was almost as smooth as releasing a soul skill.

After a quick wash, he went straight to the training ground. Seeing that Guangling hadn't arrived yet, he started his regular training.

After looking around once, he turned his head and saw that Guangling had landed gracefully; he had arrived.

"You actually managed to sense my movements, impressive!" Guangling exclaimed in surprise, even though he hadn't emitted any soul power fluctuations the entire time.

"Teacher, have you forgotten that I have this? It can help me perceive the environment. My mental power did not detect it, but it clearly fed back to me the airflow and temperature changes caused by your flight and landing."

Han Li pointed to the top of his head, whereupon two tentacles sprang up and wobbled as they gestured.

"External soul bones are really good things. I'm afraid that once you reach a higher level, no one will be able to get close to you silently." Guangling said with great envy. As a ranged archer, he also hoped to obtain a similar ability.

"I owe this to the soul beast my teacher helped me choose; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find such a useful ability," Han Li replied with a smile.

"Alright, you little bootlicker."

Guangling chuckled and scolded, clearly pleased, then his expression turned serious: "Alright, let's begin training. First, demonstrate your basic archery skills and let me see how they've turned you into."

Han Li also suppressed his smile, and the Ice and Fire Bow instantly appeared in his left hand. He straightened his back, turned around, and at the same time, the bowstring and arrow materialized. Without even looking, he raised his hand and shot it out.

"call out"

A whooshing sound followed, and a target in the distance instantly exploded from the middle, its fragments scattered all around, covered with flames and frost.

Guangling raised her eyebrows at first, then furrowed them together.

"Hmm, your archery skills are alright, but there seem to be some significant problems."

Han Li nodded decisively. He had been practicing for three months and was naturally aware of his own problems.

"I can't control the power of the elements very well yet. Although my accuracy is okay, the power of the arrows I shoot is completely out of my control. They are very lethal, but their precision is much worse."

Guangling nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Have you tried extracting elements separately and condensing them into arrows?"

Han Li nodded, said nothing, and began to demonstrate. He fired two arrows, each a different element. Although not as powerful as the fused arrow from before, there was no doubt that, apart from the area he had aimed at, a large area around the arrows still uncontrollably bore the marks of the elemental attack. The ice arrow fared somewhat better, but the fire arrow fared even worse.

"Within my mental control range, it's fine, but once it exceeds that range, I can't control it well. If it's a battle between people of the same level, it's okay, but in a sparring match, I'm afraid I can't hold back at all," Han Li concluded.

"Have you tried arrows without elemental properties and regular arrows?" Lightfeather asked again.

"I've tried it, but it doesn't work. One takes an extremely long time to form and is completely unusable in combat. The other will be corrupted by the martial spirit and cannot withstand the power. It will explode as soon as it leaves the range of mental control." Han Li shook his head.

"Then we can only wait for you to gradually improve your control and mental strength." Guang Ling said with a headache. Han Li's ice and fire bow formed by opposing elements was much more domineering than his martial soul.

"Well, that's all we can do."

Han Li was also somewhat troubled, though he was troubled with a happy kind of trouble. The side effects he had worried about were beginning to manifest, although this also proved his strength to some extent.

As for sparring, he was just saying that he wasn't planning to spar with people his age for the time being. Besides, isn't sparring with someone stronger than him also a form of sparring?
