"Boss, are you okay?"
Gu Han seemed to have hit hard, but in fact, he only made these people feel pain without actually injuring them. It wasn't until Gu Han left that the others dared to get up from the ground and surrounded the fat man to show concern.
"I'm fine. This guy is actually from the Spirit Hall. Don't mess with him in the future."
The fat man waved his hand, covered his swollen face, took a deep breath, and warned his friends.
This kind of person is a typical bully who knows whom to provoke and whom to avoid.
Before he knew that Gu Han was from the Spirit Hall, this guy relied on being the grandson of the city lord to act arrogantly and domineeringly.
After learning about Gu Han's identity, he put away his thoughts of revenge.
Although he is domineering, he is not foolish. Just looking at Gu Han's strength, you can tell that his innate soul power is not low, at least around level 3 or 4.
The Spirit Hall of Shuofeng City will definitely pay great attention to him. If they really get angry, it will be their family that suffers in the end.
Gu Han was uninterested in the fat man's thoughts. He went straight to the library of Shuofeng Junior College.
Having lived two lives, he knew the importance of knowledge.
He was now several decades ahead of Tang San. He had plenty of time to develop and might even seize some opportunities from him.
Although with the help of the nameless method, his cultivation speed could be improved, the fairy grass could further enhance his abilities and make his cultivation easier.
However, the fairy grass was still a distant goal. The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was located in the depths of the Sunset Forest, surrounded by soul beasts over ten thousand years old. He could not enter until he had sufficient strength. As for finding someone to cooperate with, it was the same old saying: without a certain strength, this kind of cooperation was like seeking the skin of a tiger.
A good iron must be strong.
Besides, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire would not disappear. At this time, Dugu Bo might not even know about it. Even if he found it, he wouldn't understand the function of the fairy grass inside.
Now he only needed to do two things: become stronger and accumulate knowledge.
After that, Gu Han never received any provocations again. He was happy to be free and lived a routine life every day.
He attended classes, researched materials, practiced swordsmanship, and meditated.
In this way, after almost two years, Gu Han felt a bottleneck that prevented him from progressing further in his soul power.
He knew he had finally reached level ten.
It must be said that the Shuofeng Junior Soul Master Academy was mostly full of soul masters, and only a few sixth-grade students had reached the level of level ten soul masters.
Although there were many geniuses on this continent, they were pitifully few and almost all were concentrated together. In such a remote place, those who could have a soul ring in the junior academy were considered good geniuses.
And Gu Han managed to upgrade from level five to level ten in two years, which was quite fast.
In addition, Gu Han's practice method was special. He had previously competed with several senior students of similar level in soul power. He found that the soul power in his body was at least several times purer and thicker than that of people of the same level.
The soul power required for each level was also higher than that of ordinary soul masters.
After school, Gu Han returned to the Wuhun Branch Hall of Shuofeng City and found Bishop Markel.
"Grandpa Markel, I found that my soul power has reached the critical point while meditating recently. I want to come back to test my soul power."
Although it could be tested at school, he trusted the people in the Wuhun Hall more.
"Haha, Xiaohan is back. Come with me."
Master Markel's initial attitude towards Gu Han was just to get close to him because he was a little genius.
But after two years of contact, he found that this child was obedient, sensible, studious, hardworking, and a good child with his own ideas. Therefore, his attitude towards Gu Han was genuinely like treating him as his own grandson.
In the past two years, he had taken good care of Gu Han.
Seeing Gu Han coming back, Master Markel smiled kindly and took Gu Han to the soul test room.
The area of the test room was about 200 square meters. A huge floor-to-ceiling window brought enough light into the room. On the surrounding walls, there were five fist-sized black stones.
On the ground was a huge token-shaped symbol, with a long sword pointing downward. This was the lowest-level symbol of the Wuhun Hall, but it was still out of reach for many people.
In front of the room was a row of cylindrical white jade tables, with soul test crystals placed on them.
Markel took a crystal ball from one of the tables and placed it in front of Gu Han: "Come, put your hand on it, and then send the soul power in."
Gu Han nodded, reached out to take the crystal ball, and sent the soul power in with ease.
Buzz—
The crystal ball instantly lit up with a full blue light.
Seeing this, Master Markel was even happier than Gu Han. He smiled and said, "Haha, Xiaohan, congratulations on breaking through to level ten. Once you get your first soul ring, you can truly become a soul master."
"Thank you, Grandpa Markel, for the compliment."
"By the way, Xiaohan, I see you often hang out in the library. Now Grandpa will test you. What do you think of your first soul ring?"
Master Markel had been watching Gu Han's performance over the past two years. Now he was interested in testing him. He stroked his beard and asked with a smile.
Hearing the question, Gu Han nodded and said, "Grandpa Markel, I do have a goal."
"Oh, tell me about it." Markel raised an eyebrow, interested.
Gu Han sorted out his thoughts before answering.
"My martial soul, the Mysterious Frost Sword, is an ice-attributed weapon martial soul. For a soul beast, I must find one with the same attributes to enhance the martial soul's attributes. It would be best if I could get a soul skill that enhances all attributes."
"A soul skill that enhances all attributes is important for my future."
"And based on my understanding of soul beasts over the past two years, a soul beast called the Ice Crystal Hedgehog is very suitable for me."
"The Ice Crystal Hedgehog is an ice-attributed soul beast with spikes similar to rapiers on its back that can release ice crystal sword energy. The ice crystal sword energy released by a hundred-year-old ice crystal hedgehog is difficult for even some soul masters to handle."
Gu Han knew the effect of full attribute amplification in the later stages. This amplification might not be too obvious when weak, but after becoming strong, the percentage amplification effect would become apparent. If two Title Douluo of the same realm fight, one with a percentage amplification and the other without, the gap will widen. The Title Douluo with a percentage amplification will definitely suppress the latter.
"But considering that the Ice Crystal Hedgehog is relatively rare, I have a backup option."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"The Snow Region Ice Wolf also has extremely strong attack power and armor-piercing effect and also has considerable ice attribute ability."
"Well, not bad, not bad."
Master Markel stroked his beard with a smile.
"The Ice Crystal Hedgehog you mentioned is a bit rare, but two of them were transported from the Soul Hunting Forest in Shuofeng City last year. One is less than a hundred years old, and the other has been cultivated for three hundred and ninety years. It is estimated that it has reached four hundred years now."
"And these two Ice Crystal Hedgehogs have never been hunted. You have good physical fitness; maybe you can try the four-hundred-year-old one."
Master Markel, as the bishop of the Wuhun Branch Hall of Shuofeng City, knows all the soul beasts transported from the Soul Hunting Forest every year. Now that Gu Han mentioned the Ice Crystal Hedgehog, he just thought of this.
As the bishop of the Wuhun branch hall, he naturally knows more than ordinary teachers. The upper limit of the first four soul rings of a soul master is closely related to the soul master's physique. The subsequent ten-thousand-year soul rings require the strength of the soul master's mental strength.
Master Markel was not worried about Gu Han's physique. He took time every day to exercise his physique and asked him to help buy some medicinal herbs for a medicinal bath.
With Gu Han's current physique, it would be no problem to absorb a four-hundred-year soul beast.
