Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

Gu Han didn't directly answer the other person's ridiculous question, but since they had already asked, it would be impolite of him to ignore it.

He took a thick book off the shelf, dusted it off, and began to speak.

"This is the Spirit Hall Library. Is it strange that I, as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, am here?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked embarrassed. Yes, the other party was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, so what was so strange about him coming to the Spirit Hall Library?

Have I become stupid from reading too much?

Yu Xiaogang gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Haha, it was my oversight. Your Highness also enjoys reading?"

"Hmm, it's been over a year since I last came. But you, you've been in Wuhun City for a year now, haven't you? I heard you're basically in the library every day, you're quite patient."

Yu Xiaogang may be shameless, but his patience is unmatched by many. The fact that he can memorize so much martial spirit knowledge is also a skill.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang was destined to be from a different world than him, so there was no need for him to make fun of him like in the novels of his previous life, as that would make him seem very low-class.

For a dragon to target and torment an ant, it's not that the world has gone mad, but rather that the dragon has something wrong with its head.

When this is mentioned, Yu Xiaogang proudly puffs out his chest.

"The Spirit Hall has a vast collection of books. Although I am not very talented, I have already memorized 60% of the knowledge in the past year."

Gu Han raised an eyebrow and found a seat.

"So you can be considered a theoretical master now. But speaking of which, what is your purpose in coming to the Spirit Hall? If you don't want to say, then consider it me speaking out of turn."

Since he had nothing better to do, Gu Han started making conversation.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was in high spirits, his head held high with great ambition.

"There's nothing to hide. I came here to break through the level 30 barrier. With the extensive records of the Spirit Hall, I believe we can definitely find a way."

"What if it doesn't?" Gu Han countered.

"I firmly believe that on this continent, there are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters. As long as I am willing to work hard, I will definitely be able to find a way!"

Yu Xiaogang was still very energetic at this time.

Gu Han had no intention of undermining the other party's confidence, and chuckled lightly.

"Then I wish you success."

"Your Highness understands me."

To everyone's surprise, Gu Han was just making up a casual remark, but Yu Xiaogang thought he had finally met a kindred spirit and that someone understood his lofty ambitions.

He stood up, placed his hands on the table, and stared intently at Gu Han.

"His Highness and I hit it off immediately. How about we become sworn brothers?"

Gu Han's lips twitched slightly. What was Yu Xiaogang up to?

He waved his hand and politely declined, saying, "Brother Xiaogang, I am younger than you. If we become sworn brothers, I will be the younger brother. However, I don't like being the younger brother, so it's better for us to remain friends."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was somewhat bewildered and remained stunned for a while. What kind of bizarre reason was it to not like being a younger brother?

However, it does seem to make some sense.

Yu Xiaogang's face twitched slightly, then he shook his head with amusement: "Brother Gu is really humorous. Since you don't want to, then forget it. I was just being presumptuous."

Although Gu Han's answer was a bit strange, Yu Xiaogang did not feel that the other party looked down on him, so his attitude was very good.

"Haha, yes, yes, yes."

Gu Han smiled broadly on the surface, but secretly rolled his eyes. This Yu Xiaogang was quite outgoing, wanting to become sworn brothers with others right away. His family must have hired some experts.

Chapter 164 A Genius with a Suspected True Body Martial Soul, the Unreliable Snow Empress

Gu Han was bored, so he spent most of the day discussing theoretical knowledge with Yu Xiaogang.

Aside from being rather self-important, Yu Xiaogang is quite knowledgeable about soul beasts and martial souls.

Of course, it would be even better if those inexplicable thoughts were eliminated.

Gu Han had no intention of correcting this, because any attempt to do so would inevitably lead to controversy.

He was too lazy to argue with someone insignificant about such a matter.

"Brother Gu, I had a very pleasant conversation with you today. Next time, we must have a long talk by candlelight."

Yu Xiaogang had been feeling frustrated for a long time. This was the first time someone had spoken to him without any discrimination and even acknowledged his theories.

Now, he felt that the Tiandou Palace Coup could no longer be considered a stain on Brother Gu's reputation. On the contrary, he felt that Brother Gu's strategic planning and masterful orchestration of the coup were truly remarkable.

Moreover, Brother Gu is a member of the Spirit Hall, so it is only natural for him to work for the Spirit Hall.

It's just that the snowy night was too incompetent, and the snow stars were heartless and shameless.

Indeed, even now, Yu Xiaogang still believes that the Tiandou Palace incident was orchestrated by Gu Han, a conclusion drawn from his exceptional wisdom.

Perhaps it could also be attributed to the joint efforts of Gu Han and Ning Fengzhi, since the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were the biggest beneficiaries of the entire palace coup.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, but no one wants to say it out loud, lest they offend the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Haha, definitely when I have time."

Gu Han gave an awkward yet polite smile.

After bidding farewell to Yu Xiaogang, Gu Han went to the Surveillance Department again. He glanced at the intelligence he had received, which consisted of matters that they could handle themselves and were of little importance.

Meanwhile, Xingluo City, which he had placed under close observation and monitoring, was also calm. The group of soul master families were all behaving themselves, perhaps preparing to lie low and wait for the day when the Spirit Hall would be defeated before launching a counterattack.

However, there was one thing that really bothered him. He picked up a document about martial soul awakening, which featured a picture of a little girl with a bun hairstyle, black hair, and black eyes.

"Dongfang Lingyun has no martial spirit... but possesses innate seventh-level soul power."

"Dongfang. This surname. It's obviously the surname of a master."

Looking at the other person's background, they were born in a small village not far from Xingluo City. Their parents died in an earthquake some time ago and were taken in by the local Spirit Hall.

The father's martial soul was a hoe, which had no soul power. The mother's situation was similar to this girl's; she did not awaken a martial soul, but she had innate level 3 soul power.

However, because he lacked a martial spirit, he was deemed unable to cultivate and thus faded into obscurity.

"That's interesting."

Gu Han's lips curled into a meaningful smile, which reminded him of a martial soul that would later become particularly famous, namely the original body martial soul.

This girl might be the original martial soul, possessing innate level seven soul power.

It's important to know that before the main body undergoes a second awakening, it won't be particularly outstanding; in fact, it will be quite ordinary, or even very weak.

But this girl already possessed such high innate soul power when she awakened; it's unimaginable what it would be like if she awakened a second time.

However, whether it is the true form of the martial soul or not, we still need to see it with our own eyes.

Thinking of this, Gu Han immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Xingluo City through a secret channel, asking the Spirit Hall there to send the girl named Dongfang Lingyun to Spirit City.

After doing all this, Gu Han fell into deep thought.

If this girl truly possesses a true martial soul, then how can she undergo a second awakening?

Gu Han's understanding of Douluo Continent is limited to the anime and Douluo fanfiction, with only a slight understanding of the later installments.

He knew about the famous original martial soul in the second battle.

However, all we know is that it exists; how to cultivate it is a real problem.

But it would be such a waste to give up on this genius at the seventh level of the Innate Realm.

It's important to know that once a person's martial soul is fully developed, their combat power is extremely high.

Even before its second awakening, it already possesses innate level seven soul power. Once it grows up, it's guaranteed to be a level ninety-six offering prospect.

However, since it is a physical martial soul, it must have a high demand on the physical body and mental strength. Perhaps we can start from these two aspects.

Physically, there's no need to worry about the whale glue; as for the spirit, he can teach the other party a set of cultivation methods.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party must be willing to become an apprentice.

Although he didn't care about his lineage or anything like that, after all, his future goal was immortality. Once he achieved immortality, why would he care about his lineage?

Even if that doesn't work, there's always Bibi Dong, with her long legs, to cling to, right?

The Eastern Spiritual Charm is simply too unique; it must be deeply integrated with the Spirit Hall.

In short, we must prevent a situation where, after all the hard work of raising them, they are snatched away by other sects.

After all, the Love Continent is not just a name without substance.

Don't get me wrong, he wouldn't do something like "Secret Chamber Douluo" (a popular Chinese fantasy novel), that would be too low-class.

At most, it's just about broadening the child's horizons and instilling some sense of class distinctions, so that she doesn't end up like Bibi Dong in the original story, raised to be an innocent girl who was almost kidnapped by outsiders without warning.

Over the next few days, Gu Han followed a set routine: regularly delivering food to Bibi Dong, observing and guiding Shi Dong at the school, processing information and documents from various parties at the Supervisory Department, watching Qian Xunji's back in the Papal Palace, and returning to his residence to meditate cross-legged.

In the Holy Son's Hall, Gu Han sat cross-legged on his bed, cultivating with his eyes closed, while his martial spirit sword, Xuan Shuang, spun around in the room.

In her loli form, the sword spirit Xue Di sits at her desk with her short legs crossed, reading novels and eating fruit—a typical homebody.

Since becoming Gu Han's sword spirit, Xue Di has still been able to cultivate, and has now quietly become a 700,000-year-old soul beast.

Of course, if Gu Han wants to unleash the power of 700,000 years of cultivation, he needs to raise his level to 95 or higher.

Moreover, she discovered that her cultivation level would also grow along with Gu Han's growth. It was as if someone else was cultivating for her, and she could become stronger just by lying down. It couldn't be more awesome.

"Hehe, once this little guy reaches level 80, I'll persuade Bing'er and Xiaobai to come along too."

Xue Di was chubby, her small, white hands holding a big apple, crunching away, her big, icy blue eyes slightly curved.

"But then again, if the three of us were to sacrifice ourselves, what would happen to the order of the far north?"

Xue Di frowned slightly, thinking of a very serious matter: what would become of the far north without their presence?

After all, that's where she was born and raised; it's practically her home. We can't just leave it there unattended.

"It's simple, just train another 100,000-year-old soul beast, right?"

Gu Han slowly opened his eyes. Xue Di had become his sword spirit, and he could clearly sense her thoughts. After noticing her distress, he opened his eyes and bluntly offered his suggestion.

Xue Di rolled her eyes cutely and said irritably, "If 100,000-year-old soul beasts were so easy to raise, there wouldn't be such a small group of them on the entire continent."

Xue Di was speechless. It's easy for her to talk when she's not in the situation. Does she think 100,000-year-old soul beasts are like cabbages, something you can just raise as you please?
