Looking at Han Li, who was bending over and refusing to stand up, Broad Hill and Azure Luan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a mix of shock and joy, their expressions somewhat complicated.
Having spent a few days with him, Broad Hill understood his disciple somewhat. Like himself as a child, he was mischievous but also stubborn. Judging by his appearance, he had already made up his mind and was just waiting for him to arrive.
Putting aside everything else, Han Li was willing to give up a 100,000 Year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone in exchange for the possibility of a small servant girl being able to cultivate. As an elder, he was both angry and satisfied.
But he didn't communicate with his teacher at all, making the decision on his own, which made him a little angry. What? Did Broad Hill look like someone who would stop him?
Well, it was hard to say.
His gentle attitude towards Xiu'er was for the sake of his disciple, as for how much he liked her, it wasn't to that extent. That was a 100,000 Year Soul Ring, even if he couldn't bear it at the time, a high-year Soul Bone would be good.
Just a special servant girl, was it worth it? As long as Han Li wanted, he could find him a bunch of Snake Women and Cat Women without affecting his cultivation. Although this kind of semi-awakening was rare, it wasn't non-existent.
But Han Li insisted even knowing this, and even possibly angering his newly apprenticed teacher. Then in the future, he might do similar things for her, how could he not be happy? "Get up first."
Broad Hill didn't speak, but Azure Luan on the side spoke first.
Han Li hesitated for a moment, looked up at his teacher, and found that his face was constantly changing, sometimes happy and sometimes angry, making it impossible to tell whether he agreed or not.
"Sit."
Azure Luan said softly, her eyes softening a lot as she looked at him, and at the same time, she pulled Broad Hill, who was still immersed in his own world, signaling that it was his turn to make a decision.
Broad Hill glanced at Han Li, who was still standing, and said unhappily, "Sit down."
Han Li's face lit up when he heard this, knowing that things were probably settled, and happily replied, "Thank you, teacher."
Looking at the joy on his face, Broad Hill felt that he had been seen through by this kid, so he deliberately put on a stern face: "I can agree to your request, but you have to agree to one of my requests, how about it?"
Han Li replied without hesitation: "Okay. Teacher, please tell me."
Broad Hill was quite satisfied that he agreed without hesitation, so he knocked on the table and slowly opened his mouth as if thinking: "It's not difficult for you, since you gave up a 100,000 Year Soul Ring and said it's nothing, then, you can make up for one yourself in the future. If you can't do it, I'll let you know what regret is."
Broad Hill even showed a grim smile on his face as he spoke, as if telling him that he would hang Han Li up and beat him at that time.
Han Li was not intimidated by his posture, but breathed a sigh of relief. So that's all, he didn't want to give up the 100,000 Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone even if Broad Hill didn't mention it.
"I promise you, teacher, maybe I won't need to be a Titled Douluo to fulfill your condition." Han Li replied confidently.
Broad Hill and Azure Luan smiled at each other without saying anything. Weren't they like this when they were young? It's better for young people to have some ambition.
In the following time, Broad Hill and Azure Luan personally taught him the precautions for the new meditation method, and even let him enter the meditation state on the spot, and they personally corrected him.
After confirming his physical strength again, they talked about some common mistakes that might be encountered in the early stage of cultivation, and told him how to absorb the Soul Ring most safely. According to his personal situation, they re-determined some cultivation resources, saying that the specifics would be arranged after absorbing the Soul Ring tomorrow.
They talked for a full three hours, and only stopped when Xiu'er came to remind them that dinner was ready. After a good meal, they left, telling him to rest well tonight.
The careful Azure Luan also handed him a new Storage Necklace when she left, saying that it was a gift for Xiu'er in advance, wishing his plan success, which made Han Li thank her again and again.
Han Li lay on the bed, playing with the newly acquired Storage Wristband and necklace, roughly estimating how many times he had become rich in half a day. He didn't choose to cultivate, but went to sleep early.
He had been very tense these past few days after his Martial Soul awakened, and he had been tossed around on the road for nearly two days. Tomorrow he would obtain his first Soul Ring, so it was best to get enough energy at this time.
Nothing happened overnight.
At six o'clock in the morning, Han Li woke up automatically. This was one of the few times he woke up before Xiu'er called him.
He slept well last night, perhaps because he relaxed all of a sudden and went straight into deep sleep. His current state can be said to be the best in recent times.
After lying down and emptying his mind for a while, a familiar voice came from outside. Under Xiu'er's urging, Han Li completed a simple wash and walked towards the training ground outside together. He had already become familiar with the environment yesterday.
He didn't always let Xiu'er serve him, or rather, Xiu'er only fully took on the work of a servant when he wasn't exercising.
Breathing the refreshing air, Han Li began to move his body, a set of "Eaglet Takes Flight", a set of "The Times Are Calling", he only remembered these two, randomly selecting a set to warm up every day, trying to do it as standard as possible.
There was no way, this was his own "cultivation technique". In any case, it was better to have something than nothing, better than just running, right?
After the warm-up, push-ups, burpees, of course, there was also the most basic running, and finally the fast knife swing. This was his exercise method for the past three years. He also built a swimming pool in his residence in Notting City, swimming two or three times a week, but unfortunately there wasn't one here yet.
After he finished exercising, Xiu'er timely handed over the prepared towel and salt water. She didn't participate today, knowing that Han Li was about to become a real Soul Master, she wanted to ensure the best service.
After the two turned around and left, entering the room to clean their bodies, the two figures on the wall looked at each other and disappeared.
Just after breakfast, Broad Hill and Azure Luan arrived together, carrying a huge box wrapped in Soul Power in their hands.
"Let's go, to the training ground, to obtain your first Soul Ring."
Broad Hill didn't say much, leaving a sentence before striding away.
Han Li didn't say anything either, following behind him into the training ground.
Seeing him arrive, Broad Hill directly opened the box, revealing the contents: a butterfly that looked very beautiful, but much larger, its wings shimmering with several different colors, appearing very dreamlike under the sunlight.
"Elemental Butterfly, just four hundred years old, very rare. The colors on its wings represent the elements it has initially mastered. It doesn't have a fixed habitat. Decades ago, it was accidentally absorbed by a Soul Master, who obtained the Elemental Affinity Soul Skill. Later, tests by the Martial Soul Research Department showed that it can only produce this one Soul Skill. Oh, and it will slightly enhance mental power, but the elements it mastered during its life will not be attached to the Soul Ring. It can be said to perfectly meet your requirements."
"Among those who have absorbed its Soul Ring, no one has yet mastered powerful attack abilities through the Soul Skill. The most powerful can only conjure a fire to light a cigarette. It can be said that its development depends entirely on the Soul Master's ability. Now, you still have a chance to regret it."
Broad Hill said with a serious face, considering it another reminder.
"It's this one, teacher, trust me."
Han Li didn't hesitate, staring eagerly at the Elemental Butterfly that was constantly trying to break through the Soul Power shield.
"Alright, let's see your initial attack power while we're at it."
Broad Hill stopped persuading him. While dispersing the Soul Power shield, he slapped the Elemental Butterfly.
Han Li looked at the Elemental Butterfly, still wobbling in the air, and then glanced at Broad Hill, who had already closed his eyes. If he said it wasn't intentional, he wouldn't believe it. He sighed inwardly, My good teacher, have you forgotten that your disciple used to practice with knives and doesn't know how to shoot arrows at all?
Watching the Elemental Butterfly preparing to take off, Han Li knew he didn't have much time to hesitate. He immediately summoned his Martial Soul, and the Ice Fire Blade instantly switched positions, with the Ice Blade coming to his right hand.
As Broad Hill's eyes, which had been secretly opened, revealed an "Ah?" expression, Han Li charged forward, leaping up, and the chilling Ice Blade instantly slashed at the Elemental Butterfly's head. A wound instantly appeared on its head, and its blood was frozen at the same time. Just as its stiff body was about to fall, a Fire Blade had already stabbed into its soft abdomen, simultaneously scorching the flesh around its wound.
"Fire."
In Han Li's loud shout, a layer of flame burst from the Fire Blade, igniting the Elemental Butterfly's wings, which were covered in phosphorus powder. Han Li turned his head, pulled out his blade, and ran, with no intention of taking the opportunity to attack again.
In just a few steps, he had already run back to Broad Hill's side, leaning back a bit, watching the Elemental Butterfly rolling on the ground, unable to extinguish the flames, quietly waiting for it to drop gold coins.
