Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 61 Erosion from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

The soul power fluctuations around Guang Ling grew stronger and stronger, and even the mist around him began to turn into ice crystals under his influence, constantly falling to the ground.

Just as Han Li was about to speak up to remind him, perhaps because of the commotion from his last breakthrough, Guang Ling realized that this was not his house, and that even a small mistake would cause him a lot of heartache.

Under their watchful eyes, Guangling suddenly stood up. Before she could even say hello, her wings unfurled out of thin air, and she soared into the sky, quickly disappearing from their sight.

Dugu Bo looked at the faint red light in Han Li's eyes and asked with some envy, "What's going on now? Tell me."

Before Han Li could speak, he saw a bright light appear in the sky. The milky white light spread out in mid-air, briefly obscuring the azure sky. Under the sunlight, it revealed a circular rainbow with a white interior and colorful exterior.

"It's a success, Master is returning."

In fact, there was no need for him to answer; the situation in mid-air already explained everything.

He had barely finished speaking when he heard Guangling's laughter coming from above.

"Xiao Li is right, I'm already level 98."

Along with the light feather, a large amount of ice crystals also fell, but when they reached the valley entrance, they quickly melted under the influence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well below, turning into raindrops. Han Li and Dugu Bo had to raise their soul power shields above their heads to avoid getting their clothes wet.

"Congratulations, Master, on taking this step forward."

"Congratulations."

Han Li and Dugu Bo's voices rang out, their gazes falling on Guang Ling, who had already returned to the ground.

Haha, congratulations to you too!

Guangling answered happily, her excitement evident on her face.

"Hey, you can open your left eye now?"

Dugu Bo looked at Guangling's left eye in surprise. The area that had previously been covered with dark blue ice crystals was now completely white, with no trace of anything unusual.

"That's right, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass has repaired the previous... flaws, and the limitations on me no longer exist. From now on, I will be in a perfect state."

Guangling spoke vaguely, subconsciously concealing some details. He answered Dugu Bo only because he had just broken through and was in a good mood, and also because of his disciple's sake.

Han Li was also delighted to hear his master's answer.

Although Guangling had never seemed to care much, as a top-tier archer, the fact that his left eye was always restricted was something he was reluctant to mention. Naturally, he was happy for his master for this unexpected gain.

"Not only that, my martial spirit has also been strengthened considerably, and the ice element it carries has been greatly enhanced. Furthermore, I can now selectively use the potent poison associated with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass."

As she spoke, a divine bow radiating a milky white light appeared in Guangling's hand. It didn't seem to have changed much in appearance, but just by looking at it, one could sense the chilling aura emanating from it.

Is this considered the ultimate ice? Or is it something that's so close? Han Li thought to himself, sensing the ice element fluctuations on the Light Feather Divine Bow.

To be honest, he wasn't even sure if his martial soul was the so-called ultimate ice. After all, he hadn't finished reading the sequel, and all sorts of new settings kept popping up. Fortunately, there was no such setting in the first installment, so he didn't have to worry about it. It just meant that his cultivation would be a little slower, but with his cultivation speed, he really didn't have to worry.

"Fine, as long as it can fight, that's enough." Seeing that the Light Feather Divine Bow was still slightly weaker in ice element strength than his own, Han Li gave up thinking about it.

"What are you thinking about, Xiao Li?"

Guangling interrupted Han Li's thoughts, smiling as she reached out and flicked his forehead.

The sudden attack made Han Li instinctively cover his head with his hands and take a few steps back.

Then, he found that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and at the same time, he heard Guangling's somewhat suppressed and furious voice.

"Xiao Li, tell me, what happened to your hands? Was this caused by you using your martial spirit to transfer energy to me before?"

Sensing the emotion in Guangling's words, Han Li then noticed that his subconscious action had inadvertently raised his hands, which Guangling had seen.

"It's alright, Master, don't worry about it. I'll just take some time to cultivate."

Han Li smiled and took his hands down, spreading them out with the backs of his hands facing up, placing them in front of the two of them.

His hands were covered with dense, two-colored scales from the back of his hands to his wrists, making him look ferocious. He also emitted a faint aura that only high-level dragons possess.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Guangling didn't believe his nonsense and looked at him seriously. Han Li's condition was clearly caused by something corrupting him. Dugu Bo also looked at him with concern.

Han Li sighed helplessly. Well, he might as well tell the truth; there was no way to hide it from them.

He sorted out his thoughts and looked up at the two people in front of him.

"Master, senior, didn't you ask me before why my martial soul can't be touched? And why the pressure of a dragon appeared out of nowhere? I'll tell you now."

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason my martial soul underwent this change is due to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. When my martial soul evolved before, I could clearly sense that these so-called pools of water were probably not pool water at all, but rather the corpses and essence of extremely high-level dragons after their deaths."

"Dragon essence blood, what kind of dragon essence blood could form such a treasure land, and even affect the surrounding area, causing so many rare and precious materials to grow."

Guangling and Dugu Bo's eyes widened in shock, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the very calm Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, murmuring to themselves.

"Perhaps it's a god," Han Li replied with a smile.

"God? That makes sense. Perhaps only the blood of a god could possess such power."

Guang Ling thought of the Angel God worshipped by the Spirit Hall, and his expression gradually turned grim. He looked at Han Li: "So, Xiao Li, your spirit didn't evolve, but was corrupted?"

"No, Master, my martial spirit has indeed evolved." Han Li shook his head, refuting Guang Ling's statement. "Because my Ice and Fire Bow was a complete fusion of ice and fire, it was not eroded. Instead, it forcibly absorbed some of the beneficial energy and completed its evolution."

"But precisely because of this, I voluntarily gave up the attempt to reach a higher level of martial spirit. My current martial spirit and my body are simply unable to withstand a complete evolution. If I were to force an advancement, I would have to undergo the baptism of dragon blood and the residual spiritual will within it."

"At that time, it is very likely to be contaminated and corroded. I don't know if I will still be myself or what will happen to the Ice and Fire Bow. That's why I chose to give it up after reaching my limit."

"As for the activation of the martial soul, it's probably because the residual will within it hasn't been completely expelled. My hands are in the same situation, but they're still under control. Given time, I can expel them. I don't want to become a soul beast."

Hearing his words, Guangling and Dugu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the problem wasn't too serious. However, their gazes toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye now held a hint of fear.

"You are not allowed to do such a thing again, do you hear me? Otherwise, I will disown you as my disciple." Guang Ling turned his head and looked at Han Li seriously.

"Don't worry, Master, I know. This is a special case, and I won't take any risks easily."

Seeing his master's reaction, Han Li knew he had passed this test, so he quickly smiled and went over to massage his master's arms.

"Get out of here, and you're not allowed to use the pool water here for cultivation again, understand? Otherwise, I'll break your legs. I don't want a monster disciple."

Guangling pushed him aside with a look of disgust, but her tone was full of affection.

"Okay, Master, no problem. Master, you have to have faith in me. Even without this thing, I will be the youngest person to be awarded a title in the future."

Han Li grinned and joined in again, and the master and apprentice began to playfully bicker.

Dugu Bo glanced enviously at the pleasant interaction between the master and disciple, and comforted himself inwardly, "It's okay, I still have Yanyan, I'm not envious."
