She looked at her master, who was standing there deep in thought, and immediately stopped what she was doing. She nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, wondering if she had failed to meet her master's expectations and disappointed him.

Gu Han came to his senses and smiled slightly upon seeing the situation: "Not bad, your first soul skill is much stronger than my first soul skill."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

Dongfang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her face.

After all, they are still just children. Even if they are more mature than other children, it doesn't change the fact that they are still children. Hearing praise will make them feel better.

Even adults seem to feel happy when praised by someone they care about.

"Alright, you can all take a day off today."

Gu Han waved his hand, indicating that the two senior and junior disciples could disperse.

The two disciples responded and returned to their respective rooms. They did not actually rest; after washing up, they began to practice the techniques taught by Gu Han.

Shi Dong continued to open up his meridians according to the cultivation method, so that his cultivation speed could be on par with that of the geniuses.

Otherwise, even if there are many resources, if the reserves are insufficient, they will only be wasted and will not be of any benefit.

Therefore, to become stronger, one must first open up one's own meridians so that one's internal reserves can sustain the intake of external energy and prevent it from dissipating.

Otherwise, he would only become the person his master described as Yu Xiaogang.

Shi Dong had met Yu Xiaogang before. He spent his days reading in the library, but he didn't have any interaction with him because his master forbade him to have any contact with him. So he obediently kept his distance from Yu Xiaogang.

As for why?

Shi Dong didn't know, and didn't want to know.

All he knew was that his master had saved his life, accepted him as a disciple despite his lack of talent, and had taught him diligently ever since, so naturally he would not harm him.

After Gu Han and Bibi Dong saw their two disciples off, they strolled around Wuhun City together.

By this time, the two were already celebrities in Wuhun City, and practically everyone knew them, so naturally no one would be foolish enough to provoke them.

Bibi Dong held a candied hawthorn in one hand and ate it with great enjoyment. Gu Han walked beside her, his eyes filled with contemplation.

He was considering whether Dongfang Lingyun's second soul skill should focus on mental power, continue to increase attack, or take advantage of the fast recovery of the main body's martial soul by adding a self-healing soul ring to increase combat endurance.

Although he has a general plan for the development of Oriental Spirit, the order of development still needs to be considered.

"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?"

Bibi Dong turned around, noticed Gu Han deep in thought, tilted her head and asked.

Gu Han told the other party his idea. After listening, Bibi Dong thought for a moment and smiled, "I think we should use self-healing. Adding it to the second spirit ring is just right. For the next seven spirit rings, apart from one Martial Soul True Body, the rest can focus on mental power and attack power."

"After all, self-healing ability requires minimal consumption without affecting one's combat power, so placing it in the first three is just right."

Upon hearing this, Gu Han nodded and smiled, "Alright, then I'll listen to Senior Sister."

Bibi Dong smiled, took a bite of her candied hawthorn, and asked somewhat vaguely, "Have you chosen the type of soul beast yet?"

"Yes, of course." Gu Han nodded slightly.

Chapter 182 Sparring with Chen Xin

That day, Gu Han took some time to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, intending to obtain some rare gems and metals there. He discovered that Dongfang Lingyun's talent in swordsmanship was not as good as that in spears, so he wanted to forge a large spear for her.

As for marksmanship, fist and spear are essentially one; if you are good at fist, your spear and staff skills will naturally be good as well.

Although the Spirit Hall also has a lot of rare metals, it's too little. Every little bit used is a bit less, and it's nothing compared to the satisfaction of getting free stuff from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Besides, given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's treasure-hunting capabilities, it wouldn't be lacking in metal.

Gu Han went alone this time, while Bibi Dong did not accompany him, but stayed in Wuhun City to review documents.

That's right, even Bibi Dong has started to get involved in the affairs of the Spirit Hall.

Chihiro said in a flattering way: Young people need to gain more experience.

To put it bluntly, he's tired of being the pope and wants to be a hands-off leader, then retire in peace.

But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, they are the Holy Son and Holy Daughter, the future successors of the Spirit Hall. They will inevitably have to get involved in the affairs of the Spirit Hall; it's just a matter of time.

The Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are now closely connected, but even so, Gu Han has no intention of taking out the immortal herb. As for the whale glue, he will not say anything unless asked.

In his view, the two sides will remain on good terms for a long time due to certain interests and his role as a bridge.

But ultimately, they are not one force.

After all, even within the same faction, there are factions and struggles, let alone between two different factions.

When Gu Han was present, the two sides naturally treated each other with respect and chatted happily.

But what if I'm not here, or I've left?

As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he naturally cannot only look at the present, but also has to think about the future of the Spirit Hall.

Even among temporary allies with shared interests, there are certain things that they would never offer unless the situation is exceptional or critical.

hum~~~

"Ok?"

Just then, a sound of air being torn apart rang in his ears. Gu Han's eyes sharpened immediately, and the Xuan Shuang Sword appeared in his hand. He raised the sword to parry.

"Sizzle!!!"

A piercing sound echoed through the mountains and fields, startling a flock of birds into flight. Two pairs of sharp eyes met, then both stepped back and stood on either side of the sky.

The newcomer possessed a powerful aura, no weaker than a Spirit Hall elder. He had white hair, wore a green robe, had sharp eyes, an upright posture, and held a sharp longsword in his hand.

"Master, how have you been?"

Gu Han pointed his sword downwards and clasped his hands in a salute.

"Haha, Xiao Han, I didn't expect you to grow so fast. Come, let me see your swordsmanship now."

Chen Xin laughed loudly. Gu Han had not deliberately concealed his aura when he arrived, so he was naturally discovered by Chen Xin, who had just broken through to the level 97 barrier.

Because of Gu Han, Chen Xin's understanding of swordsmanship has reached a new level. After breaking through to level 96, he only went to Xingluo once before continuing his seclusion. He finally broke through to level 97 half a month ago, and the first thing he did was beat up his old friend.

Today, Chen Xin, who was in a great mood, suddenly sensed an undisguised sword intent, and the aura was extremely familiar. So he took the initiative to leave the sect and stopped Gu Han there.

Seeing that the opponent's aura was no weaker than that of a Title Douluo, he was eager to test the waters and immediately made a move.

Seeing that half of his power was easily caught by his opponent, Chen Xin was amazed and burst into laughter.

The Seven Kill Sword Technique has been passed down.

Even if the opponent's martial soul is not the Seven Kill Sword, as long as the Seven Kill Sword Path is not broken, then his lineage is not considered to have been severed.

"Then please enlighten me, Master."

A smile appeared on Gu Han's lips as he unleashed nine "kill" characters simultaneously, slashing his sword towards Chen Xin.

"Good lad, you've actually mastered the Seven Kill Sword Technique to such a high level."

While surprised, Chen Xin revealed a delighted expression. Nine "kill" characters—this was the mark of mastering the Seven Kill Sword Dao. It should be noted that even he himself only managed to unleash nine "kill" characters a week ago when he broke through to level ninety-seven.

Gu Han, at such a young age, had already grasped the essence of the Seven Kill Sword Dao and mastered it to perfection.

Similarly, Chen Xin wielded the Seven Kill Sword, and nine Seven Kill Sword Qi, carrying the Tai Chi intent, roared out.

Eighteen sword energies bearing the character "kill" clashed in the air, sealing each other off, and the space itself groaned under the strain.

However, level 97 is still level 97. Although Gu Han's stats are terrifying, Chen Xin also has decent stats. Due to the difference in levels, their stats cancel each other out, and the gap between them widens.

However, it is already quite amazing that Gu Han, at level 81, can fight against a level 97 opponent.

"Absolute zero domain".

With a soft shout, the world changed color instantly, the temperature plummeted to its lowest point, snow fell, and the space itself froze.

Chen Xin suddenly felt his soul power solidify, and all his attributes were greatly reduced. Moreover, every snowflake around him was emitting a sharp light, and the cold air was biting.

"It's a field."

Chen Xin's gaze sharpened slightly, followed by a low shout.

"Seven Kill Domain".

Centered on Chen Xin, a special domain unfolds, rivaling the Absolute Zero Domain and isolating it from the negative effects of the Absolute Zero Domain and the sharp snowflakes that fill the sky.

Both sides drew their swords and flew out again. The sounds of their swords clashing and grinding together were almost continuous. Soul power surged, and the trees below suffered greatly, falling in large swaths.

After the second collision, the two separated by a distance of a hundred meters. Chen Xin laughed heartily and praised:

"Good lad, with just eight spirit rings, I don't think even some level 95 titled Douluo would be your match."

"Again!"

"My body is like a sword!"

Chen Xin raised his longsword high, his body becoming one with the sword, and his aura instantly soared to a terrifying level.

Seeing this, Gu Han also held his longsword upright in front of him.

"Man and sword become one."

Instantly, Gu Han's figure merged with the Xuan Shuang Sword, confronting the Seven Kill Sword opposite him.

call out! !

The Xuan Shuang Sword shot out first, followed closely by the Qi Sha Sword. The two swords intertwined and collided in the sky like two streaks of light.

In the distance, protected by the Bone Banyan Tree, Ning Fengzhi was able to watch the sword duel.

"I never expected that Brother Gu would already possess strength comparable to a Title Douluo."

They were amazed by Gu Han's rapid growth and high combat strength, and wished that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could have encountered him first.

However, the stronger Gu Han became, the more Ning Fengzhi felt that his decision to cooperate with the Spirit Hall was correct.

Now that Gu Han has become Jian Shu's apprentice, and his combat power has completely risen, it is absolutely unacceptable to suppress him.

Moreover, given Uncle Jian's personality, there's no way he would kill his disciple.

Even if Uncle Jian is willing to take action, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, firstly, eliminating the threat of the Spirit Hall, there will definitely be a rift between Uncle Jian and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Once a rift forms, it can never be repaired.

Ning Fengzhi is a smart man, so naturally he wouldn't do something that seems profitable but actually results in a huge loss.
