Chapter 71 Dugu Bo's Choice: Using a Snake to Devour a Dragon

Seeing that Guangling's attitude had become visibly kinder to her, Dugu Yan became somewhat reserved.

Having learned the truth from Han Li, she knew very well that Guang Ling's change was entirely due to the effect of the vow she had just made.

A level 98 Super Douluo? That's the most powerful person she's ever seen.

She bowed to Guangling somewhat embarrassedly, as an apology for her childish behavior earlier. Even if she had two more grandfathers, they wouldn't be enough to defeat His Majesty Guangling.

"Alright, don't worry about me. From now on, just follow Xiao Li's instructions."

Guangling waved his hand and walked to the side. He could tell that the little girl would feel a little uncomfortable with him around.

Han Li looked at the grandfather and granddaughter staring at him, but made no attempt to exchange pleasantries. After glancing at Dugu Yan's flushed face, he turned his gaze to Dugu Bo.

"Senior, please take Sister Yan back to the platform first. She is still unable to withstand the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Staying there for too long may cause unnecessary damage to her body."

"Well, let's build her a small wooden house first, so she can live there temporarily," Han Li added.

"Oh dear, look at my brain, how could I forget that?"

Dugu Bo slapped his forehead, grabbed Dugu Yan's arm, and headed towards the platform.

"Do you need my help?"

Seeing the grandfather and grandson leave in a hurry, Guangling, who had been eavesdropping for a while, couldn't help but peek out and ask.

"No need, Master, you're busy. I can go up by myself now."

Han Li gave Guang Ling a mysterious smile, and then, to Guang Ling's somewhat astonishment, he lowered his hands, and red flames shot out from his palms and the soles of his feet, quickly rising into the air and flying towards the platform.

On the platform, Dugu Bo had just landed with Dugu Yan when he sensed an unusual fluctuation behind him, and a rather loud sound also rang out.

Dugu Yan also heard the strange noise and turned her head curiously to look as soon as she landed.

Then, the grandfather and grandson saw Han Li fly straight towards them from mid-air. Not far in front of them, red flames suddenly shot out from his palms and the soles of his feet, and then he stopped abruptly, landing safely from a height of half a meter.

"What kind of soul skill is that? / How can you fly?"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously from the grandfather and grandson, who looked at Han Li in surprise.

"It's nothing, please excuse my poor attempt. It's just a little bit of subtle use of the fire element, nothing serious." Han Li gave a "shy" smile.

"A self-created soul skill?"

The grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance and asked in unison.

"I guess so, but the requirements are quite high. You need to have a strong ability to control the fire element and your mental strength also needs to meet the standard. It's not easy to teach others."

Seeing the shifty look in their eyes, Han Li knew exactly what they were thinking and offered to add to the conversation.

"oh."

Upon hearing his words, both grandfather and grandson simultaneously showed expressions of regret.

However, Dugu Yan did not give up so easily. Instead, she blinked, smiled, and gave him a flirtatious wink.

"Little brother Han Li, your grandpa and I are now yours. You wouldn't mind teaching us some of the little tricks we can learn, would you?"

Han Li couldn't help but glance at the girl as he listened to her terrible remarks.

Why does this sound a bit like a tea-tea vibe? Also, your face-changing speed is pretty good, or are you just naturally outgoing? I remember you being quite aloof?

And what's with this claim that she and Dugu Bo are both his people? What kind of blatant lies are these? The wording is far too easy to misunderstand.

And then there's the little brother. Ah, fortunes change, don't underestimate a young person's age. You won't even need thirty years; just wait until you're an adult.

Han Li was inwardly agitated, but his expression remained unchanged as he calmly watched the two of them, completely ignoring Dugu Yan's words and subtle movements.

"We'll talk about this later. If you can learn it, I don't mind teaching you."

"Now, let's talk about the evolution of martial souls."

Dugu Yan, who was initially slightly annoyed that her charm was being ignored, put her little temper aside and listened attentively.

"Senior, the evolution of martial souls follows the same process as before, so I won't explain it further. However, I would like to ask for your opinion regarding the result." Han Li looked at Dugu Bo.

A look of doubt crossed Dugu Bo's face, and he asked with some surprise, "I have no objection. Just do it your way. Is there any other problem?"

No, you've misunderstood.

Han Li shook his head, first calming the two of them down, before continuing, "What I want to ask you is, do you plan to evolve your martial soul into a dragon type, or continue to keep your snake-type martial soul?"

"Is there another option?" Dugu Bo asked in surprise.

"Of course, don't forget my Ice and Fire Dragon Bow." Han Li smiled and said.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and without thinking, he blurted out, "Of course it's a snake."

"What's so great about dragons? Besides, I know the basic situation of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent. Even if it evolves into a dragon, it probably won't be stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the like."

"Instead of evolving into something that's neither fish nor fowl, it's better to continue delving deeper into snake-type martial souls. Perhaps, my Dugu family will also be at the pinnacle of snake-type martial souls in the future, and may not be inferior to other top-tier beast martial souls."

"Yes, Grandpa is right. If we're going to do something, we should do it the best."

Dugu Yan was also standing to the side, her eyes sparkling, as if she had already imagined a bright future.

Oh, I almost forgot, this young lady is also very strong-willed, Han Li thought to himself.

"Okay, then there's no problem. I'll help you suppress the dragon's aura so you can better complete the absorption." Han Li looked at Dugu Bo and said seriously.

"With your help, I'll be even more confident."

Dugu Bo answered with a smile, while stroking his not-so-thick beard in a very good mood.

"By the way, it won't have any negative impact on you, will it?"

Dugu Bo then looked at Han Li's hands with concern.

After a day and a night of suppression, the two-colored dragon scales on the back of Han Li's hand had mostly fallen off. However, compared to before, the skin color on the back of his hand was still darker than other parts of his body, which was why Dugu Yan hadn't noticed it before.

"It's alright. Perhaps when the time comes, I can use the opportunity of the confrontation to draw out the hidden aura that is difficult to eliminate, allowing me to recover faster."

Han Li answered proactively, which was one of the reasons he asked. He wouldn't really mistreat his future partners and friends just because he was attracted to the snake woman.

"Is that so? That's really good, killing two birds with one stone. It's just that your brain, I don't know how it's formed, is really useful."

After observing his expression, Dugu Bo was completely relieved.

Han Li would never lie about such an important matter; this was a consensus he reached with Guang Ling.
