Seeing that the battle was over, Tang Hao quickly came to Tang Xiao's side and helped him up. Seeing that his elder brother was still in a daze, Tang Hao secretly chuckled to himself.

"Serves you right for saying I'm no good. Now you've got yourself beaten up, haven't you?"

"Big brother."

Tang Yuehua jogged over and saw that her older brother was just stunned and not seriously injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief and then muttered something with some resentment.

"Brother, it was just a friendly spar, why did you suddenly switch to the Nine-Nine Combination technique?"

"Besides, didn't you say that you've only just begun to understand the Nine-Nine Unity technique and can't control your power yet? What if you hurt Brother Gu?"

"Third sister...it's me."

"Really, even my brother said he knew his limits."

"I……"

Tang Xiao opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile. It's over. His third sister is now siding with outsiders. If it were before, she would only care about whether he was alright.

“Miss Yuehua, there’s no need for that. Brother Tang Xiao and I both know what we’re doing.”

Gu Han stepped forward and bowed slightly to Tang Xiao, saying, "Brother Tang Xiao, you flatter me."

Tang Xiao let out a long sigh of relief. Although he was still unwilling, he stood up and returned the greeting: "Brother Gu's strength is outstanding. No wonder my grandfather values ​​you so much. I have learned a lot today."

"Brother Tang Xiao, you flatter me. You and Brother Hao are the two strongest I have ever encountered since I started my career. You are worthy of the majestic Haotian Sect and the reputation of the 'Distinguished Battle Soul Hammer'."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao felt somewhat better, but ultimately he had still lost to his opponent.

"Alas... Brother Gu, there's no need for this."

"I have witnessed the vastness of the world and the great heroes of the land. I am truly convinced of my defeat."

Tang Xiao waved his hand. Although he was unwilling, he was truly convinced of his defeat. His opponent had defeated him without ever using his Martial Soul True Body, relying solely on his second soul skill and that strange swordsmanship.

He had only ever seen his grandfather, who rarely used soul skills and relied solely on his self-created martial arts to defeat others, but now he had met a second one.

At such a young age, he is already a high-level Soul Saint, and he will probably become a Limit Douluo like his grandfather in the future.

The Spirit Hall truly has a wealth of talented people.

While feeling moved, Tang Xiao did not become despondent because of this; on the contrary, it further fueled his passion for cultivation.

"However, Brother Gu, although I have lost to you today, in the future, Brother Hao and I may very well surpass you and defeat you!"

Gu Han nodded slightly, not arguing with them, but politely yet proudly agreeing with them, saying, "Very well, I will be here at any time to await the challenge from Brother Xiao and Brother Hao."

"Alright, we came to Wuhun City to challenge Brother Gu. Now that the battle is over, the three of us siblings should take our leave."

During his conversation with Gu Han, Tang Xiao noticed that his sister's gaze towards Gu Han was becoming increasingly adoring and admiring. Now, he had no intention of staying in Wuhun City and wanted to leave with his people as soon as possible.

It wasn't that he looked down on Gu Han; on the contrary, the other party was very outstanding. However, he knew about the relationship between Gu Han and Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. It was simply impossible for his sister to do that. Moreover, even so, he would not allow his sister to be a concubine for someone else.

Therefore, Gu Han is not a good match for his third sister. He must act decisively and leave while his third sister is still only admiring and appreciating him. In time, the matter will pass.

"Hey? Big brother, didn't we agree to spend a few days sightseeing in Wuhun City?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua immediately snapped out of her daze and hurriedly asked, clearly not wanting to leave so quickly.

She has developed a strong interest in Gu Han and wants to communicate with him more to learn more about him.

"Ahem, I just realized there are still things to do in the sect, so I need to get back as soon as possible." Tang Xiao felt a little flustered by his sister's gaze, so he quickly came up with a seemingly reasonable excuse.

"Well, since the three of you are leaving, I also have some important matters to attend to. Please forgive my rudeness, I cannot see you off any further."

Upon hearing this, Gu Han immediately understood Tang Xiao's intention. He didn't want to get entangled with him, so it was best to send the person away as soon as possible.

"But……"

"Oh, Third Sister, no need for that. Come again when you have time. Let's go, let's go."

Tang Hao interrupted Tang Yuehua directly, grabbed her wrist, and turned to leave without even saying goodbye.

"Brother Gu, farewell."

Tang Xiao clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and followed.

After watching the three leave, Gu Han instantly teleported back into the city, and in a few more flashes, he returned to the backyard of the Holy Son's Palace.

"Master, you're back."

Upon seeing this, Shi Dong and Dongfang Lingyun immediately stopped what they were doing, exhaled a breath of stale air, and then respectfully walked up to Gu Han and bowed.

"Okay, that's enough for today."

"Yes, Master."

Gu Han took out two pieces of thousand-year-old whale glue. Although the more you eat it, the less obvious the effect becomes, as long as the age keeps increasing, it is still effective.

As for Shi Dong, there's no need to elaborate; he had already absorbed it before.

Dongfang Lingyun looked at the whale glue in her hand with some doubt, then raised her head and asked:

"Master, what is this?"

"This is whale gelatin; once absorbed, it can enhance your physical fitness."

Gu Han explained it to the other party and then told them how to absorb it.

Gu Han was eager to see if Dongfang Lingyun, a being with a true martial soul, could absorb a thousand years of energy in her first soul ring.

However, if you want to absorb a thousand-year soul ring at level ten, one piece of whale glue is not enough. You need to eat more and then take a medicinal bath.

Finally, Gu Han checked the other party's meridians and bones to see if they could reach the Soul Master level. Only then could he feel at ease letting the other party absorb the millennium soul ring.

After all, this is an extraordinary genius, and if his carelessness leads to his downfall, the consequences would be dire.

While the two were absorbing the whale gelatin, Gu Han had already prepared medicinal baths and placed them in two different rooms.

Despite being young and absorbing nutrients for the first time, Dongfang Lingyun's talent allowed her to absorb nutrients much faster than Shi Dong.

"Lingyun, I have prepared a medicinal bath for you. Go to your room, soak in it, and practice the meditation method I taught you at the same time."

Gu Han pointed to a room.

"Yes, Master."

Dongfang Lingyun nodded obediently, walked to the room Gu Han pointed to, pushed open the door, and went inside.

The room was spacious, with two wooden tubs that reached up to her head, one filled with green medicinal bath water and the other with steaming clear water.

Without any hesitation, Dongfang Lingyun took off her clothes and entered the wooden tub filled with green medicine.

Once inside, she could feel the medicinal power flowing through every inch of her skin into her body, relaxing her tired muscles and bones.

She activated a special meditation technique, absorbing the medicinal power, which allowed her body to recover extremely quickly, and her internal organs gradually strengthened.

This special meditation method was prepared by Gu Han specifically for him. It corresponds to the five internal organs, the five elements, the balance of yin and yang, the balance and harmony, the flow of qi through the eight extraordinary meridians, and the connection between heaven and earth. It also includes the cultivation of spiritual power.

He has just started cultivating, so it's not quite that exaggerated yet, but the advantage lies in the fact that the soul power he has cultivated is balanced and moderate, with an extremely high upper limit.

After absorbing the essence of the Eastern Spiritual Charm for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shi Dong entered another room under Gu Han's guidance.

The meditation method practiced by Shi Dong belongs to the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter of the Nine Yin Manual. It also incorporates the Taoist principles of gradual accumulation and steady development, slowly improving one's physique while building up sufficient foundation.

This is perfect for Shi Dong's situation. Although his cultivation is slow in the early stages, once he has accumulated enough experience, he can eventually surpass Shi Dong.

With the help of the cultivation technique deduced by Gu Han, the other party didn't need to worry about their cultivation stagnating after reaching the required age.

The reason why this situation exists in Douluo Continent is simply because the cultivation techniques are inadequate. They only know how to absorb energy without ever considering exploring their inner potential. When they reach a certain age, their talents are exhausted, so it would be strange if they didn't slow down.

Chapter 169 Qian Renxue's First Birthday

"Hey, big brother, second brother, what are you doing?"

After walking a long distance, Tang Yuehua finally shook off Tang Hao's hand, her beautiful, jewel-like eyes glaring angrily at the two of them.

"You guys have nothing to do, right? Why are you in such a hurry to pull me away?"

Tang Yuehua isn't stupid; she just didn't realize it at first. Now that she does, she's definitely going to ask for clarification.

"Uh"

The two brothers exchanged a glance and both saw the distress in each other's eyes.

"Ugh……"

Finally, Tang Xiao, the eldest brother, sighed and said earnestly, "Third sister, Brother Gu is exceptionally talented, and his strength is something your second brother and I admire. But he already has a woman. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

He was very direct, without any beating around the bush. This kind of thing had to be made clear; otherwise, hesitation would only lead to deeper trouble.

Tang Yuehua blushed, then stomped her foot and turned her head away: "Wh...what? I don't understand what you're saying, brother. I just want to make friends with Brother Gu, it's not what you think."

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao: The way you're acting, it's hard to believe you...

Seeing the disbelief written all over her eldest and second eldest brothers' faces, Tang Yuehua angrily turned her back.

"I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, that's fine too."

Tang Hao scratched the back of his head in distress: "Since you've said so, Third Sister, your eldest brother and I believe you. So, shouldn't we go back to the sect?"

Tang Yuehua was taken aback, then shook her head: "Well, you guys go back first, I want to stay in Wuhun City for a few more days."

The two brothers' lips twitched upon hearing this. "So you want to stay in Wuhun City for a couple of days?"

You want to go back to Gu Han, right? If we really let you go back, we're afraid you'll just give yourself away for nothing.

However, given Gu Han's personality, he most likely won't accept it.

But that won't do either. As older brothers, how could they bear to see their younger sister suffer such humiliation?

"Third Sister, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's go back to the sect first," Tang Xiao said gently, trying to persuade her.

Tang Yuehua hesitated, reluctant to return just like that, but since things had already come to this point, she had no choice but to go back and come to Wuhun City alone.

"Ok."

Seeing that their third sister had agreed, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

They boarded the same carriage they had come in and returned to the Haotian Sect.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang Yuehua ultimately failed to come to Wuhun City as she wished. As soon as she returned, she was sent to Tiandou City to be trained in etiquette.

Since she cannot cultivate, her family plans to train her to be an etiquette instructor, specializing in communicating with the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, thereby gaining a certain degree of influence among the upper echelons of the Heaven Dou Empire.
