"Yes!"
Ling Yuan accepted the order and prepared to lead Ye Han away.
But at that moment, Qian Daoliu noticed the Soul Master lying unconscious in the corner.
Recalling what Ling Yuan had mentioned about the man's earlier behavior, he probed:
"Oh, by the way, Little Han, how would you like to deal with that Soul Master?"
Ye Han glanced at the unconscious Soul Master on the ground and replied calmly:
"It's just a bit of frost and wind."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!
Such composure at such a young age—it was simply extraordinary!
Hehe...
Ye Han knew this was a test, so he deliberately answered this way.
After all, he definitely wouldn't let that guy off easily!
"Hahaha!"
Qian Daoliu was very satisfied with this answer, his face showing appreciation.
He then waved his hand at Ling Yuan and glanced at the other elders.
Ling Yuan, understanding the situation, led Ye Han away.
The other elders exchanged glances and, also understanding the situation, took the unconscious Soul Master away.
When only the elders remained in the hall, they suddenly remembered something and erupted into discussion:
"Big Brother, are you really going to let that boy marry into the Spirit Hall and become Qian Renxue's husband?"
"That boy's talent is indeed on par with Qian Renxue's, but talent alone isn't everything. His character is still unknown."
"Besides, we haven't even asked Qian Renxue for her opinion yet! How can you make such a decision for her?!"
Before everyone could finish, Qian Daoliu interrupted:
"Enough. Qian Renxue is my granddaughter. Naturally, I care for her more than any of you."
"Didn't you all see it earlier? At such a young age, he has such composure. How could his character be bad?"
"Besides, this is just an engagement. The actual marriage is still far off. We'll have plenty of time to observe him."
"As for Qian Renxue, I'll send someone to explain things to her. If she really doesn't like him, we can discuss it then."
"Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize this boy. Do you really want him to fall completely under Bibi Dong's control?!"
The seven elders present had nothing more to say.
The Grand Elder's words made perfect sense, and they couldn't find any grounds to argue.
They could only silently resolve to observe Ye Han closely in the future.
...
Not far from the Awakening Hall, Ling Yuan wasn't sure where to take Ye Han.
Now that she was Ye Han's personal teacher and bodyguard, she naturally had to stay by his side to protect him.
After some thought, she decided to take Ye Han to her own residence to live together.
"Sister Ling Yuan, where are you taking me?"
Ye Han looked up at Ling Yuan, somewhat confused.
Ling Yuan smiled and said:
"I'm taking you to my home. From now on, we'll live together."
"Rest tonight, and tomorrow Her Holiness the Pope will come to take you to hunt for a soul ring."
Ye Han was stunned.
Wow, so we're just moving in together, huh?
Does that mean I can sneakily hehehe tonight...
"Ah, right!"
Just as Ye Han was having naughty thoughts, Ling Yuan suddenly interrupted:
"Little Han, from now on, I'll be your personal teacher and bodyguard, responsible for teaching you and ensuring your safety."
"So, you should know what to call me now, right? You need to call me 'Teacher,' not 'Sister' anymore."
Ye Han was momentarily stunned, then widened his watery eyes and pretended to be pitiful:
"But... I still like calling you 'Sister.' What should I do?"
Ling Yuan was taken aback, then burst into laughter. She playfully pinched his nose and said:
"You're impossible. Fine, you can call me 'Sister,' but in front of others, you still have to call me 'Teacher.'"
Ye Han nodded, then sweetly called out:
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Ling Yuan. Sister Ling Yuan is the best!"
Ling Yuan was very pleased and picked up the dirty Ye Han, holding him in her arms as she laughed:
"Let's go. I'll take you to buy some clothes now, then we'll go back, get cleaned up, and rest."
Ye Han nodded, then began to recall everything that had happened today.
So much had happened in just one day, far beyond his expectations.
Not only had he awakened the dual Light and Dark Holy Dragon martial souls, but he had also obtained the Dragon God's inheritance.
He had also become Bibi Dong's disciple, the Spirit Hall's Holy Son, and Qian Renxue's fiancé.
Aside from becoming that lunatic Bibi Dong's disciple, wasn't everything else a huge stroke of luck?
Just thinking about Qian Renxue becoming his wife made Ye Han feel that life was looking brighter.
Qian Renxue was the most beautiful woman in the Douluo world. This was a huge win.
Since he was marrying into the Spirit Hall and becoming the Qian family's son-in-law, it was only natural that he would protect the Spirit Hall and the Qian family.
In the original story, Tang San not only overthrew the Spirit Hall but also shattered Qian Renxue's divine position.
Ye Han would never allow such a thing to happen. He would definitely protect the Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue.
As long as he relied on the Spirit Hall's protection to steadily grow, he believed he could reach the Titled Douluo level within ten years.
By then, he would be able to protect them and avenge his parents by killing that wild dog Tang Hao!
Actually, he didn't even need to wait until he grew stronger. He could just tell the Spirit Hall about Tang Hao's whereabouts now.
But no, this blood debt had to be settled by his own hands. He had to kill Tang Hao himself.
In the process, he would also make Tang Hao experience the pain of losing loved ones.
Tang Hao's son Tang San, his sister Tang Yuehua, his wife A Yin, and the Clear Sky Sect—none of them would be spared!
And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which had abandoned his parents, wouldn't be let off either!
"Hum—!"
Just as Ye Han was lost in his vengeful thoughts, the surroundings became hazy.
In the next moment, he found himself in his spiritual sea, facing the massive Dragon God.
"Boy, you've done well."
The Dragon God spoke with a hint of approval:
"I didn't expect you to complete my first trial so quickly."
Ye Han's heart stirred, and a smile of anticipation appeared on his face:
"So, what's my reward?"
The Dragon God's eyes glowed, and countless golden runes appeared around him.
These runes then surged toward Ye Han's body, eventually converging on his forehead, where a dragon head emblem appeared.
"What's this?!"
Apart from the emblem on his forehead, Ye Han didn't feel any changes in his body.
The Dragon God calmly explained:
"This is the reward for completing the first trial. It's my unique physique—the 'Dragon God's Sacred Body'!"
"However... this is only the initial stage of the Sacred Body, an incomplete form. At this stage, cultivation will be more difficult."
"There's no helping it. The Douluo world lacks sufficient spiritual energy, so the Sacred Body's life wheel is dormant, and the incomplete form is hard to awaken."
"To awaken the Sacred Body and begin cultivation, you'll need special spiritual herbs to activate it. This requires a tremendous amount of resources."
Ye Han was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Seriously? Is this some kind of joke? How is this any different from Ye Fan's Desolate Ancient Sacred Body from Shrouding the Heavens?
The Dragon God seemed to read Ye Han's thoughts and calmly said:
"Boy, don't worry. Based on what I saw of the Douluo world's future..."
"There are immortal herbs and whale glue in this world. Consuming them might help awaken the Sacred Body!"
Ye Han was even more speechless. It wasn't like he didn't know that.
But the problem was that he was under the Spirit Hall's watch. How was he supposed to get his hands on immortal herbs?
As for whale glue, he wasn't sure if he could get that either. He'd have to ask Sister Ling Yuan later.
"Alright, then what's the second trial? And will the reward be as disappointing as this one?"
Ye Han asked gloomily, hoping the next reward wouldn't be another defective product.
The Dragon God pondered for a moment before saying:
"The Dragon God's second trial: Attach three soul rings to any one of your martial souls."
"The total year limit of the soul rings must not be less than 15,000 years. The time limit is two and a half days."
"As for the trial reward, I can't reveal it. You'll find out once you complete it!"
