Chapter 57 Renaming and Evolving the Martial Soul

Seeing the old man approach, the master and apprentice didn't pay any attention. Once Han Li used something, it was impossible for it not to be exposed.

Moreover, this is the number one thug we've booked, so we have to show him basic respect, especially since he's the kind of guy who's willing to pay us extra.

With the help of the two titles, Han Li quickly tested the strength of his evolved martial soul.

In less than an hour, the basic tests were completed, and the three of them, having lost their initial excitement, finally felt the warning signals from their stomachs that they needed to eat.

So, under Dugu Bo's watchful eye, Han Li decisively took out the tables, chairs, pots and pans, clear broth base, and fresh, high-quality ingredients that had been prepared in advance from his wristband.

The three of them moved a little further away from the Yin-Yang Well and set up a hot pot.

The fresh morning air was soon filled with an enticing aroma, not to mention that Han Li had also collected some medicinal herbs that could be used as spices, which he mixed into the base sauce, making the aroma even more intense.

Seeing the meat slices in the pot that had changed color, Guangling picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. After swallowing, she looked at Han Li.

"How about we change the name of your martial soul? It's not appropriate to call it Ice and Fire Bow and Ice and Fire Blade after it has evolved."

"Change it, it must be changed. A strong person's martial soul has no bad name. Your Ice and Fire Bow and Ice and Fire Blade are too ordinary. To be honest, even your previous martial souls didn't deserve this name."

Dugu Bo swallowed a piece of green vegetable and interjected forcefully, speaking as if he were an experienced person.

Guangling nodded in agreement. He had considered asking Han Li to change the name of his martial soul, but Han Li didn't care, always saying that the meaning was enough. This time, the martial soul had undergone such a big change that it had to be changed.

Han Li savored the spiciness in his mouth, took a small sip of juice, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Then let's call them the Ice and Fire Dragon Bow and the Ice and Fire Dragon Blade; that would be fitting."

Guangling and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance, reading similar discomfort in each other's eyes. But at least it was a little better than before, so they nodded and reluctantly accepted it.

After all, they couldn't think of a better name right away, and besides, the person in question didn't care.

"So what level is your current martial soul strength? Has it reached the level we expected?" Guangling asked abruptly.

"No, I'd say half. When my martial soul evolved this time, I felt there was still room for improvement. But maybe my level is too low to handle it, and my martial soul has temporarily reached its saturation. I was afraid something might go wrong, so I gave up. I'll wait until I reach Soul King or Soul Saint. Right now, I'm good enough."

Han Li understood his master's meaning and gave a vague reply.

The Angelic Martial Soul is a god-level Martial Soul, which is considered a secret of the Spirit Hall. Even though Dugu Bo has already pledged allegiance, he cannot reveal it now, since he is merely a personal bodyguard and has not truly joined the Spirit Hall.

Seeing the master and apprentice speaking in riddles in front of him, Dugu Bo glared at them angrily, but realized that there were some things he couldn't know yet, so he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oh right, Master, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. I've reached level 30, so I need to think about getting a new soul ring." Han Li said casually as he looked up, then lowered his head again to gnaw on the fragrant half-fish in his hand.

Guangling and Dugu Bo froze, their chopsticks, which were about to pick up food, stopped in mid-air. They turned to look at Han Li, who was eating, as if they were looking at a monster.

After a while, the two put down their chopsticks. After listening to Han Li's words, they seemed to have suddenly lost their appetite.

They worked so hard when they were cultivating, but this kid only needed one night's sleep. Not only did his martial soul evolve, but his soul power also surged by seven levels overnight. He felt incredibly bitter.

Han Li waited for a long time without getting a reply. When he looked up, he saw the two of them staring straight at him without saying a word, their eyes somewhat eerie.

"What's wrong? Why are you two looking at me like that? Don't you have any suitable spirit beast recommendations?"

Han Li frowned, somewhat troubled. He had read through a lot of information before, but he hadn't been able to find a soul beast he liked. He was even planning to ask his master for advice.

The two looked at each other, sighed at the same time, picked up their chopsticks again, and decided to eat something; there was no need to make things difficult for their stomachs.

Seeing their actions, Han Li finally realized what was happening and looked at them with a wry smile: "Master, Senior, there's no need for this, is there? Don't you know something about the immortal herbs? Think about it, if the immortal herbs are so miraculous, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that can nurture them must be even stronger, right?"

"And this isn't without its costs."

Han Li paused for a moment when he noticed that the two people's attention was drawn to him before saying, "Perhaps it's because the energy in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is too strong. I had to absorb it directly through my Martial Soul. Most of those immortal herbs have probably lost their effect."

"Oh, I guess only the 'Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew' will still be usable, but that thing increases mental power, so my soul power probably won't surge in the short term. Just consider it as me absorbing the immortal herb in advance, it's the same thing."

"Moreover, with the current quality of my soul power, I'm afraid my cultivation speed will be slowed down in the future."

Han Li did not reveal that his ice and fire were suspected to be ultimate attributes. At this time, there was no corresponding concept, and the boundaries of ultimate attributes were extremely vague. He was genuinely unsure.

Hearing his explanation, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that we're not happy for him, but the younger generation is so outstanding that they feel a lot of pressure.

Especially Dugu Bo, he always felt that if things continued to develop like this, he estimated that he would be unable to defeat this kid in less than ten years.

Seeing that the two of them retaliated by emptying the pot completely, Han Li had no choice but to take out some more ingredients and put them back in, as he wasn't full yet.

During the waiting period, the two briefly united, strongly urging him to finish explaining everything at once, so as to avoid him saying anything later that they found unacceptable.

Han Li thought for a moment and realized that there wasn't much left to explain, so he simply stood up.

As his soul power circulated, a layer of illusory dragon scales appeared on his body, enveloping his entire body. The antennae on his head and the eagle eye on his right side also appeared. Like his martial soul, the antennae and eyes had also undergone significant changes.

The antennae are much shorter than before. If it weren't for the red and white stripes that make them stand out against the black hair, they would be almost indistinguishable from the length of the hair.

The Hawkeye has not changed much compared to its antennae, except that its original amber color has been replaced by a light red. When activated, a light red light floats like mist behind the head, which looks very cool.

Guangling glanced at Han Li in his new form and said directly, "Come on, punch me with all your might."

Han Li didn't hesitate either; the moment Guang Ling's voice fell, he decisively threw a punch.

With a dull thud, Guangling caught his fist, trying to increase the force in his hand to test the defensive power of the illusory dragon scales on his body.

Only when Han Li could no longer hold on and showed a pained expression did he release his grip and nod.

"Master, how is it?"

Han Li asked impatiently, eager to know the current level of his physical strength and defense.

"Very strong. Your physical strength is even stronger than I expected. In terms of intensity, power, and defense alone, it has already reached the level of your senior master Jin'e when he was at level 50, as recorded in your records. It is also comparable to other Soul Emperors with regular level 60 Beast Martial Souls." Guang Ling looked at the disciple in front of him with great satisfaction.

"What do you mean 'not bad'? He's only level 30, he's a monster." Dugu Bo muttered to himself.

"What monster? Speak properly! This is a genius, a prodigy, understand?"

Guangling is indeed like a dog; his face can change in an instant. One minute they're on the same side, and the next he's dissatisfied with Dugu Bo's statement.

Han Li nodded in agreement. He was human and didn't want to be called a monster. Was that a good description? What normal person would be happy to be called a monster?

Seeing that Guang Ling was getting anxious, Dugu Bo immediately shut his mouth.

Seeing that Han Li also nodded in agreement, he thought to himself, "The monster isn't exactly a nice thing to say. I was just speaking without thinking."

Okay, so be it. No problem. He'll beat up any monster he sees from now on, and he'll fight anyone who calls him a monster.
