Seeing the atmosphere become heavy, Han Li was just about to say something when suddenly, the door was knocked, interrupting the silence in the room.
"Young Master, may I come in? Master Mashino and Su Dage are here, saying they have something to discuss with you." Xiu'er's voice sounded from outside the door.
Han Li glanced at Broad Hill and, seeing that he had no reaction, replied directly, "Xiu'er-jie, come in."
The door was pushed open, and the first thing Xiu'er saw was Broad Hill sitting to the side. The smile on her face disappeared, and she rushed to Han Li's side in a few steps, protecting him behind her. She sternly shouted, "Who are you? What do you want to do? The people from Spirit Hall are outside. I advise you to leave quickly."
Broad Hill sized Xiu'er up and down. It wasn't until he saw the ears on her head that he remembered this should be the little girl from back then.
His impression of Xiu'er was even deeper than the matter he had handled back then. He glanced meaningfully at Xiu'er, who was fiercely protecting Han Li like an old hen guarding her chicks, his gaze towards his disciple full of mischief.
Han Li didn't expect Xiu'er's reaction to be so strong. He grabbed her hand and, seeing the puzzled look on her face, pointed to Broad Hill in front of him, saying, "Xiu'er-jie, this is my teacher, Light Plume Crown of Spirit Hall."
"Ah?"
Xiu'er's face instantly turned red. Not even bothering to pull back her hand, she hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Your Grace, I misunderstood. I hope you won't blame the Young Master for my recklessness."
Han Li was stunned for a moment, tightening his grip on Xiu'er's hand and looking at Broad Hill, "Teacher, don't tease Xiu'er-jie. You're scaring her."
Broad Hill looked at the two little devils in front of him and smiled, "Alright, get up. I didn't mean to blame you. You care so much about this little rascal, hmm, worthy of a reward."
Hearing this, Han Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled the still somewhat flustered Xiu'er to bow together, "Thank you for the reward, Teacher."
Then, he raised his head, not saying a word, but staring straight at Broad Hill with his eyes, his meaning very clear.
Broad Hill poked him with his finger, exasperated. Truly his good disciple, seizing on a single sentence to start fleecing his teacher. However, he quite liked this kind of personality.
"Most of my belongings are in Spirit City. When we return, you can take her to pick something out."
"No problem, Xiu'er-jie, hurry, thank the teacher."
Han Li tugged at Xiu'er, who hadn't yet reacted, and winked at her. Only then did Xiu'er hurriedly bow and thank him.
Broad Hill glanced at Xiu'er and directly instructed, "You go out first and have them wait. I have something to discuss with this kid. I'll be over in a bit."
Xiu'er didn't dare to neglect, turning to leave. Han Li called her back again, asking her to notify the kitchen to prepare a meal and to inform the City Lord Manor, before letting her go.
"Release your Martial Soul and let me see it."
Once Xiu'er had left and closed the door again, Broad Hill spoke once more.
"Yes, Teacher."
As Han Li spoke, two curved blades, gathering different energies, appeared in his hands, and he handed them to Broad Hill.
Broad Hill curiously took them, not caring about the energy on them, and carefully observed them for a while before returning the Martial Soul, giving him a look. Han Li understood instantly, directly manipulating the twin blades to transform into a new form, and as before, handed the seemingly magnificent Ice Fire Bow to Broad Hill.
Before even touching the Ice Fire Bow, a hint of joy flashed in Broad Hill's eyes. This Martial Soul was not bad. He admired it for a while before throwing the Ice Fire Bow back.
"Hmm, not bad, even better than the information suggested. When the Martial Soul is in the form of twin blades, its quality is about average among high-level Martial Souls, but considering the opposing elements attached and the ability to use them simultaneously, it can barely be considered high-level. When the Martial Soul becomes a bow, although it's hard to believe, the two opposing elements are perfectly fused together, making it among the most powerful of the top-tier Martial Souls. Compared to my Martial Soul, its strength is not far behind." Broad Hill organized his words, satisfied as he spoke to his disciple.
Although Han Li knew that his Martial Soul wouldn't be bad, he didn't have a clear comparison. Now that Broad Hill said this, he clearly knew its true strength.
"However..."
Broad Hill watched him retract his Martial Soul, opening his mouth as if catching his breath. Han Li turned his gaze over, wanting to know what his teacher was going to say.
Broad Hill's expression turned serious, and he looked solemnly at his disciple, "However, obtaining your future Soul Rings will be a problem. Your Martial Soul has both ice and fire attributes, but you can only attach one Soul Ring. Moreover, you have to ensure that after attaching the Soul Ring, your Martial Soul won't mutate again due to the bias. Have you considered this problem?"
Oh, so that's what it was. Hearing his teacher's words, Han Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was something else.
Han Li considered it for a moment and said, "Teacher, I've actually been thinking about this problem for the past few days. I don't plan to obtain Soul Rings with ice and fire attributes."
"Oh?"
Broad Hill seemed to have thought of something, but the frown on his brow still didn't loosen.
"Teacher, I plan to attach amplification skills to all my early Soul Rings." Han Li said decisively, "Only in this way, when I reach a high level, can the Soul Ring skills I obtained in the early stages also become my assistance."
"Even so, the amplification skills you can obtain are actually quite limited. Moreover, if you decide to take this route, not only will your elemental abilities not be further enhanced, but your early attack methods will also be very lacking. Have you thought this through?" Broad Hill glanced at him.
"Isn't there you? I'm your disciple. Before I have enough strength, I won't take the initiative to fight with others." Han Li looked at Broad Hill with a grin.
Only then did Broad Hill realize that this disciple of his was even more slippery than an eel, not an honest child at all.
Han Li put away his smile and looked seriously at Broad Hill, "Teacher, besides the usual amplification skills, I actually have another idea that I want to ask you about."
Broad Hill looked at his serious little face and also became serious.
"As I said before, I'm not planning to acquire a single Ice Fire Soul Ring. I hope to get a special Soul Skill, which is also related to my subsequent cultivation direction." Han Li first threw out the bait, and after Broad Hill paid attention to it, he slowly continued, "That is elemental affinity or elemental control. Since my Martial Soul comes with Ice and Fire attributes, then whether it's the Ice Fire Blade or the Ice Fire Bow, they are actually just carriers. If I gradually control these two elements through my Martial Soul, when I succeed, not only will I solve the problem of insufficient elemental strength, but also, can the Ice Fire Hammer and Ice Fire Spear be realized?"
"Of course, this is just one of my ideas, and it also has more requirements for the Martial Soul. Perhaps only some high-level weapon Martial Souls with elemental attributes can do this. Do you think my Martial Soul development direction is feasible?"
After Han Li finished speaking, he looked up at Broad Hill, wanting to know his opinion, but saw Broad Hill staring at him with burning eyes, his expression very excited.
"You're really a genius!"
The always elegant Broad Hill couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and rarely cursed. He didn't expect that, just as Golden Crocodile said, on the first day of accepting him as a disciple, he saw the road to a higher place.
