"Teacher, you flatter me."
Han Li didn't actually think he was a genius just because Broad Hill seemed a bit flustered.
He knew very well that he wasn't a genius. He was just a second-rate powerhouse, no different from Huang Tao, and a liberal arts one at that. Before the transmigration, he faced the risk of unemployment at any time. It was only in this Douluo Continent, where everyone seemed wise, that he appeared somewhat outstanding.
"It seems that the people from the Zi Temple weren't wrong when they said you've been fond of reading all kinds of books for years. How did you come up with the idea of developing your Martial Soul like this? No one taught you, right?" Broad Hill couldn't help but ask.
"To be honest, teacher, after reading most of the books in the Spirit Hall and Notting Academy, I came to the conclusion that Martial Souls are inherited through bloodlines." Han Li spread his hands and continued, "For someone like me who wants to turn things around, there's only one way out: mutation."
Broad Hill watched the very mature-sounding disciple without interrupting. He himself was a beneficiary of Martial Soul mutation, so he naturally understood this point.
"My parents' Martial Souls are both mutated Martial Souls, although the degree of mutation isn't high. I'm likely to inherit one of them, or maybe even regress, but I'm not content with just that."
Han Li paused for a moment and said, "Until I saw examples of Elemental Instrument Martial Souls constantly stacking attribute evolutions, a flash of inspiration struck my mind, and I came up with this idea. Even if my idea fails, as long as I can stabilize the elemental attributes of my Martial Soul, at worst, my descendants won't have to start with an Iron Sword, right?"
At this point, he smiled, "But now, it's not necessary. My Martial Soul is stronger than I imagined, but I still want to try this idea. After all, as the teacher said, simply adding a single elemental Soul Ring or a pure amplification Soul Ring would waste my talent and even cause unstable mutations, not to mention the two forms having completely different attack modes."
Broad Hill nodded unconsciously as he listened. He was convinced, and with his knowledge as a Super Douluo, it was easy to analyze whether it was feasible. After all, cultivation after level 95 was no longer just about accumulating Soul Power, but about developing and understanding the Martial Soul.
In his opinion, although it might not be right, it certainly wouldn't be wrong. At least, cultivating the Martial Soul in this way could easily allow him and his disciple to cultivate to level 97.
My disciple has the potential of a Super Douluo, a sentence popped into Broad Hill's mind.
Immediately, he was overjoyed. Except for Little Snow, who possessed the Angel Inheritance and was guaranteed to reach level 99, none of the other elders had taught a Super Douluo. Even those they had guided hadn't broken through the level 95 limit. But he, Broad Hill, his disciple would definitely not be weaker than him in the future.
That alone was enough. Bibi Dong, thank you, but when you step down from the position of Pope, it will be the time for our master and disciple to double-team you, Broad Hill thought happily in his heart.
"Teacher? Teacher? Do you think this is feasible?"
Han Li couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw Broad Hill inexplicably giggling to himself.
"Cough cough."
Broad Hill's thoughts returned to reality, and he pretended to cough before looking seriously at his disciple, "There's no problem with your idea. I agree with it, and I can guarantee your early growth. But that doesn't mean you can completely abandon your early combat abilities. Later, I will specially train you so that you have certain combat abilities even without relying on Soul Skills."
"However, such training may be very hard for you, can you understand that?"
After listening to Han Li's plan, Broad Hill was indeed prepared to abandon his early combat power, but who told him to think of Bibi Dong just now? In that case, how could his disciple be weaker than that little fox? To be precise, that little fox was actually a few years older than Han Li, but Broad Hill's disciple would never be inferior to others in his life. He believed that he would overcome it, yes, he would always believe in his disciple, Broad Hill told himself again and again in his heart.
Han Li watched Broad Hill gradually become somewhat malicious as he spoke, and the sense of crisis in his heart greatly increased, but he really didn't want to be a complete waste, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Isn't it just suffering a bit in the early stages? I'll endure it and it will pass. At most, it will only be twenty years. Thinking about the wonderful life after becoming a god, I'll just treat it as paying off the mortgage, he thought fiercely in his heart.
Broad Hill was even more satisfied when he saw that Han Li had no objections, and took the initiative to ask, "Are you planning to decide on a conventional amplification for your first Soul Ring? Or are you going to improve your elemental control abilities first?"
Han Li thought for a moment and replied, "The elemental aspect, so that I might be able to further determine the direction. Even if it fails, the impact on the future can be minimized."
After hearing his words, Broad Hill tried hard to search for suitable Soul Beasts in his mind. After pondering for a while, he said, "Well, if I remember correctly, there should be Soul Beasts suitable for your first Soul Ring among the small Soul Beasts raised in Spirit City. There's no need to take you hunting specifically."
"But I need to remind you, I was too excited just now and forgot to tell you. Whether you can realize your idea depends on your comprehension. As far as I know, among the known Soul Beasts, there are quite a few that are related to elemental affinity after being hunted and turned into Soul Ring skills, but none with elemental control effects have been discovered."
Broad Hill's expression became serious again, and he solemnly reminded him.
Han Li nodded thoughtfully. It wasn't that there weren't any, it's just that he couldn't beat them. He wondered if killing the Silver Dragon King, who was a divine beast, would drop a Soul Ring? Only elemental affinity? However, that was enough. He could rely on immortal herbs and powerful mental strength to reduce the difficulty in the future. As he continued to grow stronger, luck would also bless him. If he still couldn't make this path work with all the brainholes from his previous life, then he should just give up.
"That's enough, teacher, who told me to be your disciple?" Han Li replied with a smile.
"Haha, well said. When the time comes, our master and disciple will be peerless, let them be envious." Broad Hill was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly.
"Teacher will see this day." Han Li clenched his fist and said seriously.
"Let's go, take me to see the people who have been taking care of you these past few years. I need to thank them properly for letting me receive such a good disciple."
Broad Hill smiled, took Han Li's hand, and took the initiative to walk out.
This meal could be considered a pleasant one for both host and guests. With Broad Hill in a good mood, he praised the three of them as much as he could, well, even if it was forced praise. After all, with Broad Hill's personality, he would never pay attention to such low-level Soul Masters in the past. He even promised them that they could make a reasonable request.
Mashino, Xiao Zhan, and Su Yuntao were flattered, but at Han Li's suggestion, they each made a suitable request. Broad Hill didn't hesitate and sent a letter on the spot. Presumably, they would receive good news in a few days.
Han Li was also happy for the three of them, but he was still weak and didn't have enough ability to repay them. Now, he could only rely on his teacher's ability to give back a little.
Knowing that Broad Hill was about to take Han Li away, the three of them chatted with Han Li for a while, said their goodbyes, and reluctantly left.
Han Li, who had been prepared for a long time, summoned all the servants in the mansion, compensated them with half a year's salary, dismissed them all, and then brought Xiu'er to his teacher.
After gently locking the door, Han Li looked back at the place where he had lived for nearly three years, turned around, and walked towards Broad Hill and Xiu'er, who were waiting aside.
Broad Hill didn't say much, picked up one in each hand, and his ice-blue wings spread out behind him, soaring into the sky in the shocked eyes of the passers-by in Notting City.
