Chapter 150: Battle Over, Gale's Breathless Slash
And what about Han Li?
In reality, he was also diving towards the ground at that moment.
He was starting to regret it a little he had gone too far with the act. He shouldn't have had that sudden impulse to detonate the Holy Sword. Wouldn't it have been better to just slash through Qian Renxue directly? At worst, someone else would have shared the force of the impact. Now, with the strength he had stacked up eighty or ninety times, he had nowhere to unload it.
As a result, a bizarre scene unfolded in the eyes of the spectators below.
Amidst the fierce exchange that left no time for distraction, Han Li spoke, and Qian Renxue's Holy Sword exploded, gravely injuring her. A golden disk wrapped angel plummeted towards the ground.
Yet Han Li, who should have been the victor, was actually falling even faster than Qian Renxue.
His body radiated red and white light as two dragons of contrasting colors roared on his twin blades, accelerating his descent.
Two silent slashes embedded themselves into the ground. The soil seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving behind two fissures more than ten meters long and half a meter wide.
Qian Renxue crashed heavily onto the ground, the backlash forcing a mouthful of blood from her lips.
She didn't even bother to react, merely turning her head to look in Han Li's direction, confusion evident in her gaze.
Han Li took a deep breath as the Ice Fire Dragon Blades disappeared from his hands.
He straightened up and directed his gaze at the fallen Qian Renxue.
"Miss Angel, have you woken up now?"
As his words fell, the ground near the training field trembled abruptly.
A bubbling sound came from the fissures he had carved into the earth.
As the noise grew louder, two fountains surged up, spraying high into the air before cascading down like raindrops, scattering across the entire training field. Under the sunlight, they formed a beautiful rainbow.
Qian Renxue tilted her head back toward the sky, letting the water droplets fall onto her face.
Soon, the droplets soaked her hair and clothes, and she saw the rising rainbow.
Half an hour later, in the hall.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied as they watched Qian Renxue walk out in a fresh set of clothes.
Han Li, however, remained the same as before, even giving her a smile.
Qian Renxue glanced at him and let out a breath. "I lost. But next time, I'll take my victory back."
Hearing her words, the others secretly sighed in relief.
The Qian Renxue from earlier had been in a rather dangerous state. Now, she was finally back to normal.
"Elders, go check on the repairs in the courtyard."
Qian Renxue sat back down and then turned to the Snake Spear and Porcupinefish Douluo behind her, giving the order.
The two Titled Douluo were momentarily stunned before realizing that she was telling them to leave.
Han Li's companions exchanged glances before standing up as well. "We should go too."
Han Li nodded without stopping them. From the way Qian Renxue looked, she clearly wanted to speak to him privately.
Once the others had left, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy again.
Qian Renxue stared straight at Han Li without saying a word.
"…Are you trying to glare me to death?"
After a long moment under her gaze, Han Li finally spoke, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
Qian Renxue suddenly chuckled, shaking her head before regaining the same presence she had when she first revealed her true form.
"So, you do get nervous after all."
"A little, but not much. Mainly, it's just that being stared at like that is uncomfortable. Especially since my mental strength is high, it makes me even more sensitive."
Han Li explained casually.
"I understand what my grandfather meant now. I just didn't expect to lose so easily, and to someone younger than me, no less."
There was still a trace of unwillingness in Qian Renxue's voice, but no resentment.
"Hm, as long as you don't fixate on me. Just so you know, all those techniques I used were specifically instructed by my master. If you come after me later, I won't acknowledge it."
Han Li quickly tried to shake off any potential blame.
"I know, I'm not that petty. But sparring with you really is infuriating."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue couldn't help but glare at him again.
"See? That's why I don't like fighting you guys. Winning brings no benefits, losing… Oh wait, my bad I won both times."
Han Li spread his hands, looking utterly bored.
Qian Renxue, already familiar with his personality, didn't get angry at his words. Instead, she looked at him curiously.
"As far as I know, very few people can still use the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique. Even the Blacksmith Association only has incomplete records just theory, without anyone able to use it fully."
"The remaining practitioners are mostly in the Clear Sky Clan, and they would never teach you. I also haven't heard of you having any connections with blacksmiths. How did you learn it?"
My son taught me. Even though it was just theoretical knowledge, wasn't there also Tang San constantly forging?
Even though he spends most of his time asleep, monitoring him occasionally and making Han Li practice accordingly wasn't difficult. Too bad we couldn't observe his soul power circulation, or else Han Li wouldn't have needed to run around so much.
Oh, and Feng Xiaotian is also training hard, so he served as another reference. Not too hard at all.
Han Li kept answering in his mind, but on the surface, he maintained a serious expression.
"That's because I'm a genius. The effects of whale glue, the principles of martial soul fusion techniques I researched all of those myself. Learning a method of borrowing force? That's nothing difficult."
Qian Renxue unconsciously nodded at his words. It… actually made sense.
"Does it have a name?"
Qian Renxue seemed interested. She had noticed during their fight that this technique was something she could learn as well.
"Yes, I call it Gale's Breathless Slash. What do you think?"
Han Li's expression turned slightly strange, and as he spoke, his gaze instinctively flicked upwards, as if looking for something.
"Like a storm that leaves enemies breathless? That does fit what I saw earlier. A fitting name."
"…Can I learn it? What's the price?"
She hesitated for a moment before asking.
She wanted to master it and then test it against the Clear Sky Clan what a sight that would be.
"Learn it? Sure. As for the price…"
Han Li pulled out a prepared booklet and looked at Qian Renxue.
"Soul bones. Choose one that fits. I have a lot of people to look after, so pick something appropriate. But don't take the ones I've already claimed."
He tossed the booklet toward Qian Renxue, setting his conditions.
"Don't worry, I won't steal your soul bones. My word is my bond. If necessary, I'll even hunt one down for you myself."
Qian Renxue casually flipped through the booklet before storing it in her spatial ring.
"Good."
Han Li wasn't worried about her breaking her word. Qian Renxue's character was reliable.
Besides, even if she didn't pay up, he wouldn't mind. After all, he had already reaped a fair amount of her clan's inherited faith power. They were even.
"By the way, when did you acquire a domain? It's similar to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's… Don't tell me domains can be learned too?"
Qian Renxue gave him a look like she had just seen a ghost this was the real reason she wanted to talk.
