Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 38 External Soul Bone - Eagle Eye and the Second Soul Skill

Seeing that he readily agreed, Guangling relaxed considerably and began to carefully observe his eyes.

Han Li's right eye had changed. Compared to his normal dark brown left eye, his right eye pupil had turned into a bright amber color, and the bright color seemed to protrude slightly out of the eye socket, making his eyes look very sharp. But upon closer inspection, it seemed to be no different, just a different color.

Seeing Guangling staring into his eyes, Han Li took the initiative to explain, "My external soul bone—Eagle Eye—gave me eyesight that is no less than that of an eagle, greatly enhancing my dynamic vision. It also has a certain ability to perceive and track. Basically, anything an eagle-type soul beast can do, I should be able to do too."

"The soul skill it comes with is named Vulnerable. When activated, it can release an indelible mark through the eyes. When the marked enemy is attacked by me again, the mark will be detonated, dealing additional damage, which is about 30% of the original attack."

"What about the scope and duration of this marker?"

As an archer, Lightfeather keenly sensed the power of this skill and eagerly inquired further.

"As long as it's not obstructed, the area within sight is the marked area. As for duration, the mark will disappear after half an hour, but currently you can only mark a maximum of three times a day," Han Li chuckled.

"hiss."

Guangling gasped. This was the skill he had always dreamed of. Not to mention that it could be upgraded, even just three enhancements to 130% attack was incredibly powerful.

It's important to understand that it only limits the next attack, but it doesn't say that other soul skills can't be used. So, with this back and forth, the damage can be much more than just a little.

Looking at Han Li's grinning face, he felt a little jealous. Fortunately, this was his own disciple, so he could barely control his emotions.

"What about the Soul Skill? Did it inherit the Golden Scaled Eagle's armor-piercing attribute or its sharpness attribute?" Guangling asked patiently.

"Both are true. The armor-piercing ability of the Ice and Fire Bow and Arrow is increased by 50%, and the Ice and Fire Blade inherits the sharpness, also being enhanced by 50%. It's just a bit of a pity that it's fixed and can't become a growth-type skill like the first soul skill," Han Li said somewhat greedily.

"Don't go too far, kid. A passive amplification skill like this is already quite strong at 50%. It's only because you absorbed a Golden Scaled Eagle that's over 3,000 years old. Otherwise, 30% would be the absolute maximum." Guangling flicked his forehead in annoyance.

Han Li was well aware that the gains this time were already quite good. Although the amplification was not as strong as Dai Mubai's third soul skill, for weapon spirits, this kind of permanent amplification was actually stronger than the time-limited amplification of beast spirits.

"By the way, Master, the best news is actually this, please take a look."

Han Li touched his still slightly red forehead, stretched out his hands, and without summoning his martial soul, an ice cone and a fireball simultaneously appeared in his hands. Under his control, they smashed towards the open space in front of him.

The ice spikes and fireballs only created a small crater in the ground before disappearing. Of course, this was just a demonstration; their power was far greater than that. Han Li had merely shaped them casually, so it couldn't really be called a skill.

Guang Ling was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, slapping Han Li's shoulder with his right hand, making him feel a sharp pain: "Good, good, it seems your plan can be realized completely. I am only qualified to be a peerless Douluo."

Guangling's excitement was palpable. Although he had previously affirmed Han Li's development path and allowed him to experiment with the first spirit ring, and the first spirit ring had unexpectedly mutated, becoming very suitable for Han Li's vision, he was still somewhat worried. After all, Han Li's ambitions were too great, and he wanted too much.

But now the facts are clear: his disciple was able to break free from his martial soul and begin to use elemental power after obtaining his second soul ring. He had nothing to worry about. As long as Han Li did not perish, his path of cultivation would be smooth sailing.

And he, Guangling, would never allow an accident to happen.

"By the way, what level have you reached after absorbing the soul ring?" Guangling asked curiously.

"Level 23, still a while away from level 24. Some of the energy was used to evolve the tentacles, which are now nearly 1,500 years old. The enhanced elemental affinity and the effect of the first soul ring have reached 50%. My mental strength and perception range have also increased significantly. When I release my mental strength, the amplification has also increased to 1.8 times."

Han Li couldn't stop smiling. This absorption of the second soul ring had practically doubled his strength. Even though he had expected it, he couldn't control his emotions.

"Moreover, I can feel that with just a little practice, I can easily control the energy of the arrows I shoot. Of course, I still don't seem to be very suitable for sparring. After the tentacles were strengthened, the strength of my first spirit ring also increased, and the elemental concentration in my spirit power also increased further. It is more difficult to make arrows with pure spirit power. Even if I reduce the power, I can't guarantee that the arrows won't explode after entering my body."

Han Li summoned the Ice and Fire Bow again to try it out, but failed to fire it, and then scattered the arrows.

"Don't worry about it. That's not something you should be thinking about right now. Just focus on your training. Sparring is just to maintain your combat strength, it's not a necessity."

Guangling first offered a reassuring remark, then solemnly said, "I know that now that your abilities have improved, you will definitely continue to try to develop and master elemental power, but you must ensure your daily cultivation time and absolutely cannot use that time for trying, understand?"

"Don't worry, teacher, I understand. I won't waste the best time for training," Han Li assured him earnestly, then smiled. "Besides, you underestimate me. I don't need to spend a lot of time developing skills. I can already do basic shaping and compression to form immediate combat power. You'll see when we get back to actual combat training. As for mastering elemental properties, there's no rush. After all, I'm a Great Soul Master."

"Yes, I'm glad you understand."

Guangling looked at him with satisfaction. That was the good thing about his disciple. He listened to advice and knew exactly what he should do at what time. He was quite rational and much better than those naughty kids, which made him very worry-free.

Seeing that everything was settled, Guangling glanced at the sky and then looked at Han Li, whose height had increased to over 1.6 meters due to absorbing the soul ring. His clothes were clinging tightly to his body, making him look quite awkward.

"Alright, let's go out then. We'll rest in town for the night. By the way, did you bring a change of clothes?" Guangling smiled and pointed to the clothes he was wearing.

"Yes, I brought it. Sister Xiuer prepared it for me a long time ago."

Han Li deactivated the Eagle Eye effect and followed Guang Ling outside, answering as he went.

"That's good. By the way, are we going straight back, or would you like to go somewhere else?" Guangling asked casually, in a good mood.

"Let's go back to Nottingham first and see Uncle Xiao. It's been over a year since we last saw him," Han Li said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, did you prepare a gift for your departure?"

"Of course, it's been prepared for a long time."

Han Li smiled and raised the wristband on his left hand, indicating that the item had been inside for a while.

"Hey, you little rascal."

The master and apprentice chatted and laughed as they made their way from the outskirts towards the town.
