Seeing Dugu Bo honestly shut his mouth, a smile returned to Broad Hill's face.
This face-changing skill caused Dugu Bo to grumble inwardly, secretly thinking: Let you be happy for now. Once Yan Yan and this kid are together, even if your strength is stronger than mine and you're older, in terms of seniority, I'm still your uncle.
Han Li secretly noticed their expressions and couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile. The way these two interacted was quite amusing.
Perhaps it was because Han Li's External Spirit Bone had undergone significant changes, appearing more like a transformation triggered by a head Soul Bone, that Dugu Bo, who was scrutinizing him, made a misjudgment. After examining him for a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of Soul Beast skull is that on you? It's truly peculiar. I've never seen anything like it before."
Hearing his words, Broad Hill's lips curled up slightly, and he glanced at him with disdain. As expected, this wild Titled Douluo was ignorant, not even knowing about External Spirit Bones.
(Note: Misjudgment, misjudgment. Dugu Bo knows about them, this is just a slight exaggeration.) Seeing Dugu Bo preparing to turn his head towards Broad Hill, another verbal battle was about to erupt.
Han Li quickly spoke up to attract his attention, "Senior, this isn't a head Soul Bone, but two External Spirit Bones. They didn't look like this originally, but this time, my Martial Soul evolved, and they upgraded along with it. Currently, they've just reached 15,000 years."
Dugu Bo gasped when he heard this, looking at the antennae on Han Li's head and his right eye with curiosity and envy, unsure of what to say.
Just, two, just, 15,000 years. He's so jealous.
After a long while, he turned his head to look at Broad Hill.
"You Spirit Hall are truly rich and generous. These are two External Spirit Bones, and you, as his Master, are really willing to part with them. However, this kid Han Li's talent is indeed worth you doing this."
Broad Hill felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart upon hearing the praise, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Don't misunderstand. Although Spirit Hall certainly doesn't lack resources, and I, as his Master, care for him very much, we also don't have any extra Soul Bones to lavishly give to a child. These two External Spirit Bones were accidentally obtained by Little Li himself when he was acquiring Soul Rings."
Broad Hill's words stunned Dugu Bo. This was an answer he hadn't expected.
Then, he looked at the proud Broad Hill with a strange expression. If they weren't provided by Spirit Hall and you, then what are you showing off for? One would think you were the one who dropped the Soul Bones.
However, considering Broad Hill's current demeanor, he wasn't foolish enough to say it directly.
Suddenly, he thought of something, widened his eyes, and looked at Han Li, "You were only at level 23 before. Does that mean you obtained an External Spirit Bone each time you acquired a Soul Ring in the past?"
Han Li calmly nodded, acknowledging it.
"You kid are really lucky. I've lived my whole life, and today is the first time I've seen the so-called External Spirit Bone on someone, and I saw two at once." Dugu Bo circled around Han Li twice, observing him carefully before reluctantly withdrawing his gaze.
Want one? I know where there are more. As long as you run to the Star Dou Great Forest now and slaughter all the Man-Faced Demon Spiders below 3,000 years, you might really find one.
Han Li looked at his gaze and joked in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. If he really said that, he would truly be regarded as a monster.
He was planning to intercept the Eight Spider Lances, but sacrificing a Soul Ring for it was too uneconomical. He was planning to save it for his own team.
And to be honest, he didn't particularly like spider legs and poison. Although he was determined to be a schemer, he hoped to crush everyone with a gorgeous appearance when he emerged.
As for poison, his Martial Soul already came with fire poison and ice poison. As for spider legs, it would be acceptable on a beautiful girl, but his back was reserved for wings, whether real or fake.
Without making a sound, he glanced at Dugu Bo. The Eight Spider Lances were originally in his plan to win over Dugu Bo. Now that the plan had deviated, but if he got along with Du Gu Yan in the future, giving it to her wouldn't be out of the question.
After all, External Spirit Bones had to grow with their owner. Giving it to a Titled Douluo would result in too little growth, which was why he didn't invite his Master to acquire the Eight Spider Lances in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Alright, ignore him for now. Tell me about the specific changes."
Broad Hill grabbed Dugu Bo, who was waving in front of him, and looked at Han Li.
"The changes in abilities aren't significant, mostly just amplifications of the original ones. The antennae are still bound to the First Soul Skill. Besides the significant increase in the original functions, the affinity has been further enhanced to control, 100% control. Soul Power is still fine, but the consumption of Spiritual Power has increased a lot."
"Also, the perception of temperature is more sensitive, making it easier to discover disguised enemies. Of course, when releasing Spiritual Power attacks externally through the antennae, the amplification has become 2.5 times, and I can selectively add different elemental powers to make others fall into rage or mental retardation."
"As for Eagle Eye, with the premise of a significant increase in basic abilities, it has also gained similar abilities. However, unlike the temperature feedback of the antennae, its ability is more inclined towards X-ray vision, allowing me to see through the enemy's Soul Power circulation routes, but it consumes a lot of Soul Power. According to my rough estimate, I can't even keep it on for more than three minutes before my Soul Power is exhausted."
"The Vulnerable effect originally attached to Eagle Eye has mutated slightly. While marking, I can choose to ignite or freeze the target, and it will also halve the effect of healing Soul Skills for the duration of the mark. The damage increase caused by the next attack after marking has also further reached 50%."
After Han Li finished speaking, he ignored their reactions, retracted all the External Spirit Bones into his body, and sat back in his seat, eating the already cooked food.
For a long time, the two of them sat down silently, without saying a word, and ate their food quietly.
It wasn't until they had finished nearly two days' worth of food that the three of them stopped their chopsticks and leaned back in their chairs with satisfaction. Broad Hill and Dugu Bo, with the buffer of time, had finally accepted Han Li's abnormality.
A Soul Grandmaster who had just reached level 30, whose physical strength and defense were comparable to a regular level 60 Soul Emperor (maybe a little weaker), whose Soul Power solidity and destructive power were equivalent to a level 50 Soul King, and whose Spiritual Power had also been slightly revealed in the previous conversation.
Under normal circumstances, Han Li's Spiritual Power was only slightly better than a normal Soul King, but with the cooperation of his Soul Bones and elemental attachments, he could even hurt a Soul Sage. Of course, this would also cause his Spiritual Power to be briefly depleted, which was very dangerous and only had the power of one strike.
Overall, without considering sustained output ability, in terms of short-term bursts, treating Han Li as a Soul Emperor was not a problem at all, and even a relatively strong one. The key was that he was not even eight years old yet.
"By the way, Little Li, after this improvement in Spiritual Power and elemental control, has your control over arrows improved?" Broad Hill suddenly thought of something.
Han Li was stunned for a moment when he heard his Master's question before answering, "It has indeed improved. I can now fully control elemental arrows."
Then, he scratched his head embarrassedly and continued, "But, Master, have you forgotten that my Soul Power itself is attached with a powerful corrosiveness? Even if I can completely control it, the moment the arrow breaks through the body, if they are above Soul King, they can still resist a little. But those below Soul King will inevitably be harmed. They are just too weak."
"So, you still can't spar?" Broad Hill asked with a headache.
"Oh, that's not the case. I can control the arrow to explode in advance. Even if I only use the impact force generated by the energy, most Soul Grandmasters should not be my opponents. Well, even if I stand still and throw fireballs and ice cones, I should be able to win," Han Li thought for a moment, giving a rather conservative estimate.
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it. He had also participated in the previous test, and Han Li indeed had the strength to say this.
"That's good. When the opportunity is right, help me beat up a few people."
Broad Hill's lips curled up slightly, recalling his plan when he accepted Han Li as his disciple. At that time, Bibi Dong made a scene at the Elder Hall under some pretext, and this debt had to be recovered.
The Pope is not suitable for the time being, so he will take it back from her disciples. He hopes they can withstand Han Li's firepower.
"Yes, Master."
Han Li replied helplessly. He knew exactly what Broad Hill was thinking. From the moment he obtained his First Soul Ring, Broad Hill had been very concerned about this issue, and now he had finally waited for it.
He hoped it wouldn't be too big of a deal. He had to make some preparations in advance.
The Golden Generation, huh? For Master, I can only make you suffer a little, Han Li thought silently in his heart.
