Xue Lei Han rarely stretched his body and opened his tightly closed eyes.
A month had already passed since the martial tournament elimination matches.
During this one month, Xue Lei Han had asked Dream God Machine for leave and then came to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.
He once again asked Sword Douluo Chen Xin to take him to the extreme northern wilderness for a martial soul hunt.
Upon hearing his request, Chen Xin couldn’t help but sigh with a toothache.
Under the teasing gaze of School Master Ning Fengzhi, he fled with Xue Lei Han in panic.
Thinking of this, a black soul ring quietly emerged on the Azure Rose Sword.
This was the ten-thousand-year soul ring of the Snow Demon Ape from the extreme north.
Its skill was to stab the sword fiercely into the ground; the sword’s body would emit a roar, slowing the opponent and reducing all their overall abilities by about thirty percent.
The third soul skill did not give him an attack-type soul skill, but Xue Lei Han did not feel any dissatisfaction.
His self-created attack soul skills were already sufficient.
What remained were just some auxiliary soul skills.
And the ten-thousand-year Snow Demon Ape’s third soul skill was exactly what he wanted.
After finishing his cultivation, Xue Lei Han got off the cold bed and came to the wooden table.
On the wooden table was a book.
It was the Douluo Continent Encyclopedia that he had borrowed from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy library.
For him, theoretical knowledge could make him even stronger in terms of martial force.
“Knock knock knock!” An urgent knocking sound rang out.
Xue Lei Han sighed inwardly and then opened the door.
A pair of warm hands had already pulled him out of the dark bedroom.
Xue Lei Han looked at the girl in front of him who was a little taller than him and asked, “What is it, Dugu Yan?” Dugu Yan revealed a slight smile: “The academy has been on holiday recently, right?
Ah, Yue Fengling and I decided to go shopping.
Are you coming?” Xue Lei Han gently broke free from her hands, turned around and returned to the bedroom.
“Not interested.” “Appropriate rest can increase soul power, you know.
This is what Teacher Qin Ming just said yesterday.” Dugu Yan looked at Xue Lei Han’s figure, suddenly stopped, and revealed a sly smile.
“Oh, then lead the way.” Recalling how Teacher Qin Ming had blinked at him when saying those words yesterday, Xue Lei Han sighed inwardly.
Dugu Yan giggled and dragged Xue Lei Han’s arm forward.
The two changed out of their school uniforms in the academy’s changing room and put on casual clothes.
Xue Lei Han changed into the ice-blue casual outfit he had worn when he first entered the academy.
“Yo, I dragged Xue Lei Han out!” Dugu Yan released Xue Lei Han’s arm and excitedly hugged a female student at the school gate.
“Thanks for your hard work.” That girl looked at the indifferent-faced Xue Lei Han and covered her mouth with a smile.
Only then did Xue Lei Han notice that the fashionably dressed girl was Yue Fengling, whom he had fought against.
He swept his gaze around and saw that almost everyone here was a familiar face from the elimination matches.
Everyone waved at Xue Lei Han and greeted him.
Yu Tianheng, Xie Le, the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers, Yu Feng, Osler, and Ye Lingling.
They were precisely the top ten of Heaven Dou.
Xue Lei Han nodded to everyone.
Led by Dugu Yan and Yue Fengling, the group burst out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed into Heaven Dou City.
Xue Lei Han couldn’t help but sigh that shopping with women was truly hard work.
Watching Dugu Yan and Yue Fengling chatter nonstop about this and that, Xue Lei Han was really a bit curious about what exactly they were talking about.
Their group formed a strange team: at the front were the two lively girls Dugu Yan and Yue Fengling; Xue Lei Han and Ye Lingling walked in the middle.
Xue Lei Han seemed to be thinking about something, while Ye Lingling stared straight ahead with her eyes fixed forward.
Behind them, Yu Tianheng, Xie Le, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Osler all shivered.
It was really too cold.
Osler, Xie Le, and Yu Feng all had bitter expressions on their faces.
Walking behind these two ice blocks was truly torture.
Only Yu Tianheng would occasionally talk to Xue Lei Han from time to time; otherwise, Xue Lei Han would probably remain as silent as Ye Lingling.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo were originally honest and straightforward people, but even they felt that walking behind these two ice blocks was truly oppressive.
“Brother Xue, I have some good news for you.
I also have my own self-created soul skill now.” Yu Tianheng, who was a full head taller than Xue Lei Han, rubbed the back of his head and smiled proudly.
“Oh?
Not bad.” A flash of ice-blue light suddenly passed through Xue Lei Han’s contemplative eyes, and the Azure Rose Sword instantly left its sheath.
“Let’s try it now.” He looked at Yu Tianheng, whose expression gradually became awkward.
“Boss Xue, no way!
We’re inside Heaven Dou City right now.
Even if you are the Third Prince, you can’t freeze the entire Heaven Dou City.” Xie Le quickly said, leaving a trail of cold sweat, then looked at Yu Tianheng somewhat resentfully.
Yu Tianheng felt everyone’s resentful gazes and smiled embarrassedly.
Meeting a martial maniac like Xue Lei Han, there was really nothing he could do.
The group wandered around Heaven Dou City again and again.
It was mainly the two little girls chattering and laughing in front, while the several big guys behind felt their legs were about to break from walking.
“By the way, let’s go eat lunch now.
Boss Xue, you’re most familiar with Heaven Dou City.
Where do you recommend we eat?” Yue Fengling turned her head and smiled at everyone, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xue Lei Han.
“Yeah, Boss Xue knows Heaven Dou City best.
Let him lead the way.” Osler quickly chimed in.
Yu Feng quickly nodded and said, “Boss Xue is the Third Prince after all.
He’ll definitely take us to a very high-class restaurant, right?” Yu Tianheng looked at Xue Lei Han and smiled faintly.
By now, Xue Lei Han had already become the number one person in everyone’s hearts.
Every single one of them had witnessed his crazy fighting figure, so in this academy, they respected Xue Lei Han the most.
Calling him Boss Xue didn’t feel awkward at all.
“Let’s go to the Embroidery Tower,” Xue Lei Han said, revealing a slight smile.
Seeing the stunned crowd, he tilted his head in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Boss Xue… actually smiled!” Osler hugged his head in horror and exclaimed.
His strange high-pitched voice attracted the attention of passersby nearby.
“Hehe, seeing Lei Han smile is truly a once-in-a-century sight.” Dugu Yan ran to Xue Lei Han’s front, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.
Xue Lei Han saw everyone’s surprise and immediately withdrew his smile.
He calmly glared at Dugu Yan once, then led everyone toward the Embroidery Tower.
As soon as Xue Lei Han stepped into the garden of the Embroidery Tower, several beautiful waitresses came over with enthusiastic smiles.
“Third Prince, it is truly our honor!” Xue Lei Han nodded to them and said, “Ten people total.
Observation deck.” One waitress smiled with her head lowered, then turned around to lead the way for Xue Lei Han’s group.
“Five jars of Embroidery Flower Wine.” Xue Lei Han said to the waitress in front of him.
This Embroidery Flower Wine was limited in production.
As the Third Prince, Xue Lei Han naturally received a share every year, about ten jars annually.
After all, Xue Lei Han rarely drank and rarely drank together with others at the same table.
The waitress led everyone to a balcony.
It was airy all around.
If one leaned on the railing on one side, they could clearly see the entire garden of the Embroidery Tower.
Looking into the distance, one could see the imperial palace and the whole of Heaven Dou City.
Even the usually silent Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at such a beautiful view.
“This meal is on me.
Order whatever you want to eat.” After Xue Lei Han said this indifferently, he hugged his sword and continued to lower his head in thought.
“Wow, thank you Boss Xue!” “Boss Xue is really generous.
Please take care of me.” The one who said this was Osler.
Yu Feng, sitting next to him, got goosebumps all over and cursed, “Osler, you dead guy, don’t sit next to me next time you say something like that.” As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeve, revealing an arm covered in goosebumps.
Everyone didn’t mind and burst into laughter.
Dugu Yan looked at Xue Lei Han sitting beside her with gentle, smiling eyes.
She felt genuinely happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
He smiled today.
He had companions now.
He was the boss of Heaven Dou Academy.
His smile today looked really good.
The more she thought about it, the more she fell into her own little world.
Dugu Yan’s face turned red.
Yue Fengling and Ye Lingling secretly glanced at Dugu Yan, looked at each other, and smiled.
Everyone made another round of noise, ordering various dishes.
Of course, what they were most looking forward to was the Embroidery Tower’s famous Immortal Drunk and Embroidery Flower Wine.
Yu Tianheng looked at the pure jade liquid swirling in the wine cup, laughed heartily, stood up, and raised his cup toward Xue Lei Han: “Brother Xue, since I was young I have been undefeated throughout the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and in Heaven Dou Academy I also covered the sky with one hand.
Thank you for breaking my undefeated fantasy.
This past month, my mind has been replaying that battle with you.
After reflecting on it, my soul power and soul skills have become even stronger.
From now on, I, Yu Tianheng, will follow Brother Xue’s lead.
Please allow us to become stronger and lead us to victory in the Youth Soul Master Fighting Spirit Competition!
To you!” With that, he drank the Embroidery Flower Wine in his cup in one gulp.
“Boss Xue, I think the same way.
Please teach us your cultivation methods and let us become stronger.
To Boss Xue!” “To Boss Xue!” “To Boss Xue!” Everyone successively raised their cups and drank the wine.
They immediately felt their minds greatly refreshed, along with a floating, unreal sensation.
This was Immortal Drunk; even immortals could be intoxicated by it, let alone these few young boys and girls who had just entered the world?
Xue Lei Han saw that everyone had finished drinking, poured himself a bowl of wine, and stood up.
His calm voice revealed his firm determination.
“I will tell you all the tricks and key points of my cultivation.
I will lead you to win the championship of the Youth Soul Master Fighting Spirit Competition!” At this moment, within his usually calm ice-blue pupils, a flame of fighting spirit.
He drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
The ten of them, who had not been particularly close before, now felt as if they were originally brothers and sisters because of this meal and Xue Lei Han’s words.
Facts proved that Xue Lei Han had inherited Emperor Xue Ye’s excellent bloodline—leadership ability!
At this time, Dugu Yan no longer hid her admiring gaze.
What she liked was exactly this kind of Xue Lei Han!
Just as Xue Lei Han was about to sit down, the power of the Immortal Drunk surged up.
His head spun, he fell back into his seat, and fell asleep with a red face.
This caused another burst of laughter from everyone.
Dugu Yan gently stroked Xue Leihan’s flushed cheeks caused by the wine, feeling nothing but joy in her heart.
He could finally rest thanks to the wine’s power.
When he woke up, he would probably return to endless arduous cultivation again.
“Have a good dream, Lei Han.”
