Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 4: A Martial Soul with Two Uses and the Speculation of a Small Thing

In fact, not only were Matthew and his two companions dumbfounded, but even Han Li, the person in question, was somewhat confused.

It's not like he hasn't read Douluo Continent before. In his previous life, he was at least a master of Douluo Continent I and a strongman who had read half of Douluo Continent II. He had also read a lot of fan fiction afterward. Although he hadn't finished reading them, he had never seen such an outrageous story about awakening a martial soul.

Faced with the strange looks from the group, Han Li didn't know how to respond, so he simply closed his eyes, focused his mind on the martial spirit in front of him, and tried to control it.

After a while, he opened his eyes. With a thought, his bow-shaped martial spirit trembled and transformed back into two curved blades, appearing in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, he commanded the two scimitars to combine, and they transformed back into an arc shape.

Seeing him having so much fun, the other three finally snapped out of their daze and rushed to his side. Matthew couldn't wait to ask, "Little Li, quick, tell Grandpa, what's going on with your martial soul? Is it a twin martial soul?"

Seeing that even the usually gentle Matthew was getting anxious, Han Li stopped beating around the bush and answered, "Grandpa Matthew, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I don't have twin martial souls."

"You... these... two forms..." Su Yuntao couldn't help but interject.

"Shut up, let Xiao Li speak." Matthew first shouted angrily at Su Yuntao, then turned to Han Li with a smile, "Xiao Li, no rush, speak slowly."

His skillful face-changing technique stunned Han Li and Xiao Zhan, who was standing next to him. Xiao Zhan quickly realized what was happening and winked at Han Li from behind, signaling him to speak quickly.

Han Li smiled, understanding Matthew's feelings. He had dedicated his life to awakening martial spirits and was a researcher in the field. Now, in his old age, witnessing such a wondrous sight, he was naturally eager to know more.

"My martial soul should be a mutated martial soul."

As he spoke, the bow separated, transforming back into two swords. Han Li gestured with both hands in front of the three people and continued, "These should be twin swords inherited from my parents, but they have undergone a positive mutation based on their martial spirits."

Matthew and the other two approached him and carefully examined the twin swords in his hands. They had all seen the martial spirits of Han Li's parents, so it was not difficult for them to distinguish them.

It was quite a coincidence that Han Li's parents were from the same small city, and their ancestors had even intermarried, though their families had gradually declined. Unexpectedly, in his parents' generation, both of their martial souls mutated, reverting to their ancestral martial souls.

Not only that, but they also underwent positive mutations, one developing a weak fire attribute and the other a weak ice attribute. Because the mutation of their martial souls involved elements, and given their good talent, both of them had innate soul power reaching level 4.5.

This explains why Han Li was so welcomed by both the Lord of Notting City and the Spirit Hall after his parents' death. They had a good relationship, and as their only son, Han Li, unless he was completely incompetent, had a high probability of reaching innate spirit power level 3 or higher. In this small place, he was already considered a "genius," making him a worthwhile investment for them.

"It is indeed their martial soul, and it's a positive mutation, Xiao Li, congratulations. But what about that bow?" After confirming the martial soul, Matthew looked at Han Li with some uncertainty.

"I don't know either, but it is a bow. However, what is certain is that it is not a twin martial soul, but just another form of martial soul."

As Han Li spoke, the two swords reunited. This time, he mobilized some of his soul power, and a thin white line extended from both the top and bottom sides, proving his statement.

"Even if it isn't, Xiao Li, you've still hit the jackpot. You don't have to worry about your body exploding, and your martial soul is equivalent to two—no, with the different attributes of the dual swords, it can be counted as three. Quick, test your soul power level. I personally awakened you, and my name, Su, will surely be recorded in the history of the Spirit Hall."

While the others were talking, Su Yuntao quietly took the crystal ball and looked at Han Li with excitement.

"Yes, quick, Xiao Li, check what level your innate soul power is."

Matthew and Xiao Zhan also realized what was happening and looked intently at the crystal ball in front of Han Li. Based on their martial souls, it was estimated to be at least level seven.

"it is good."

Han Li was also eager to know the answer to this question, so he placed his left hand on it. Instantly, a blue light shone, catching the eyes of the group.

"Innate full soul power." ×3

The three were overjoyed and forgot to control their volume. Fortunately, Xiu'er had closed the door when she came in, and the room was well soundproofed. Otherwise, the entire Martial Soul Palace would have been alerted.

"Good, hahaha, very good. I, Su Yuntao, am indeed the best Awakener in Notting City."

Su Yuntao controlled the volume, his face contorted with laughter. He had been teased by his colleagues quite a bit when he awakened his Blue Silver Grass with full innate soul power.

Awakening a useless martial soul with innate full soul power will also be recorded, but can they be the same?

Now, he wants to ask, who else?

Seeing that Brother Tao was even more excited than himself, Han Li was both amused and exasperated.

Unexpectedly, he even helped Tao Ge increase his sales performance. Considering how good Tao Ge usually was to him, he felt that Tao Ge deserved it.

Seeing the usually composed Su Yuntao overjoyed, Matthew smiled as well.

He immediately stopped smiling, looked at Xiao Zhan and Su Yuntao, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, please keep this a secret for now. Xiao Li's martial soul is too special. Let me report it to Martial Soul City first, and then we'll wait for the higher-ups to make a decision. How about that? Xiao Zhan, you should know better than I how the Heaven Dou Empire operates."

Xiao Zhan and Su Yuntao were taken aback, then nodded solemnly. They had also considered the implications. It was no secret that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan liked to stifle geniuses who didn't belong to their factions, and the nobles did the same. Furthermore, Xiao Li's martial soul was so unique that the three of them alone couldn't protect him.

"Okay, I'll contact the higher-ups right away. As for the documents, Yuntao, you can have them made as usual. There's no need to fill in the soul power information. Make sure no one else knows about it," Matthew said seriously to Su Yuntao.

"Let's register the Martial Soul Certificate as the Ice and Fire Bow," Han Li suggested after a moment's thought.

"Okay." Matthew looked at him intently, without objecting.

"By the way, Grandpa Matthew, how do you plan to report?"

Han Li seemed to remember something and asked.

"What are your thoughts?" Matthew asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't you say before that it was His Majesty Guangling who handled my parents' affairs? He even hugged me and said that he and I were destined to be together. I hope you can add that at the end."

Even with his past life experiences, Han Li's face still turned slightly red with embarrassment as he spoke, but he still gritted his teeth and said it.

"Bow, Your Majesty Guangling, you really dare to dream big. However, it's not impossible."

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then realized why he had done this. For a moment, he was also a little tempted. Although the chances were slim, what if it happened?

Su Yuntao and Xiao Zhan, who were standing to the side, naturally thought of it as well. Looking at Han Li, who was blushing slightly, they admired him. They knew that if they were at that age, they would never have dared to even think about it.

"Okay, we'll do it your way, but whether it succeeds or not depends on your fate."

Matthew hesitated for a moment, then made a decision. This was the only way they could help Xiao Li, and they hoped it would succeed.

"Thank you, Grandpa Matthew."

Han Li bowed respectfully to the old man, promising to repay his kindness in the future.

Matthew patted his head, looked at his serious little face, said nothing, and quickly walked towards another room.

After a while, Xiao Zhan led Han Li out of the Spirit Hall, with Xiu'er following behind them. All three of them had smiles on their faces, and it was clear that the result was good.

"Han Li, mutated martial soul, Ice and Fire Bow, innate level seven."

This was the news that circulated from the Spirit Hall that day, and as the news spread, a letter was issued openly.

Secretly, Matthew had already activated a special channel, sending a top-level encrypted file from a communication soul tool that hadn't been used for a long time to the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City.

The document concludes with a special note: "This child was held by His Majesty the Emperor when he was young, who said that they were destined to be together."

I'm eagerly awaiting your reading of the new book!
