Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Abyss Sword, Peerless Prodigy

Chapter 41: Get another reward!

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Lin Han. A hint of fervor and satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and his voice was gentle yet carried an undeniable authority: "Lin Han, you have not disappointed me. Star Dou Soul Hunting, slaying the ten-thousand-year-old Tiger King, breaking the Soul Ring record, and advancing five levels in a row—this talent and temperament are truly unparalleled. You are indeed worthy of being the successor valued by my Spirit Hall."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I have only done my best and dare not claim to be unparalleled," Lin Han replied with a bow, remaining humble.

The seven elders also spoke up, their tone full of praise: "Lord Lin Han possesses extraordinary talent. He will surely become a pillar of our Spirit Hall in the future, and may even surpass us to become one of the strongest figures on the continent!"

"Congratulations to Lord Lin Han on breaking through to level 35 Soul Master! May you break through to Soul Sect soon and create even greater glory!"

Lin Han nodded his thanks one by one, his expression remaining calm and without the slightest hint of pride.

This humility earned him even more respect from everyone present.

With both extraordinary talent and a calm demeanor, this young man has a limitless future.

Qian Xunji raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and the hall instantly fell silent.

He swept his gaze across the crowd, his tone bold and resounding: "Today, we are holding this celebration banquet not only to congratulate Lin Han on his great victory in the Star Dou Soul Hunt and his breakthrough to the thirty-fifth level Soul Master, but also to let the entire Spirit Hall, and even the entire Douluo Continent, know that our Spirit Hall has a peerless genius like Lin Han, and that our future will surely be even more glorious!"

"Long live the Spirit Hall! Lord Lin Han is mighty!"

The crowd inside the hall shouted in unison, their voices so loud that the beams and pillars of the hall trembled slightly, revealing the pride and domineering presence that belonged to the Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued, "Lin Han, you have made a great contribution this time, and the Spirit Hall will surely reward you handsomely."

"I have ordered someone to retrieve the Sword Heart Jade Essence from the treasure vault, which can help you hone your sword intent and accelerate the fusion of the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Demon-Slaying Sword Embryo."

In addition, I bestow upon you a thousand Soul Guide Coins and ten thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to help you stabilize your cultivation and break through to the Soul Master realm as soon as possible!

"This disciple thanks Master for the gift!" Lin Han bowed in gratitude, his heart filled with thanks. The Sword Heart Jade Marrow was a supreme treasure for refining sword intent, more precious to him than any spiritual medicine. With the Sword Heart Jade Marrow, his sword intent would surely reach a higher level.

Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, taking out a pure white jade pendant from his robes. The pendant was engraved with intricate sword patterns and emitted a faint divine power: "This Heart-Protecting Sword Pendant can withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Douluo-level opponent. Wearing it will protect you. From this day forward, you will be a core member of my Spirit Hall, receiving focused training. If you have any needs, you can come directly to the Hall of Offerings to find me."

"This disciple thanks the Grand Elder!" Lin Han bowed again, accepting the Heart-Protecting Sword Pendant with both hands, his heart filled with even greater gratitude. Qian Daoliu, as the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, held a noble status, yet he valued him so highly; he would forever remember this kindness.

Bibi Dong stood up, walked to Lin Han's side, her face full of pride, and said firmly, "Junior Brother, congratulations! Today's glory is well-deserved. In the future, I will cultivate even harder, fight alongside you, and together protect the glory of the Spirit Hall, living up to the expectations of our teacher and the Grand Elder!"

Lin Han turned his head and smiled slightly at Bibi Dong, his tone gentle: "Senior Sister, there's no need to rush. You have unparalleled talent, and with the Spider God Meditation Technique, you will definitely catch up with me in the future. Let's work together to support the future of the Spirit Hall."

The two stood side by side, one clad in white, sword in hand, the other in purple, her presence radiating a chilling aura. One possessed a restrained sharpness, while the other exuded confidence and charisma, making them the most dazzling sight in the hall.

The people present looked at them with envy and anticipation in their eyes.

This pair of senior and junior disciples, one a peerless swordsman and the other a twin martial soul, will surely become the right-hand men of the Spirit Hall in the future, leading the Spirit Hall to new heights.

The celebration banquet officially began, with delicacies being served one after another. Everyone raised their glasses, chatted and laughed, and their words were full of praise for Lin Han and their hopes for the future of the Spirit Hall.

Although Lin Han was not good at drinking, he did not refuse the toasts offered by everyone. He took only a small sip of each cup, behaving properly and displaying the demeanor of a prodigy.

During the gathering, many core disciples came forward to ask Lin Han questions about cultivation. Lin Han patiently answered them all and shared his cultivation insights without reservation.

Despite his extraordinary talent, he never held back, because he knew that the strength of the Spirit Hall did not depend on him alone, but on the joint efforts of all the Spirit Hall disciples.

Bibi Dong was also praised by many high-ranking officials, who commended her outstanding talent and said that with the Spider God Meditation Method, her future was promising.

Bibi Dong responded calmly and humbly, yet her confidence was undeniable.

She knew that her rise to prominence was inseparable from Lin Han's help, and even more so from her own hard work. In the future, she was determined to prove herself with her abilities and not hold Lin Han back.

Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu sat in the main seats, looking at Lin Han and Bibi Dong with eyes full of satisfaction.

Qian Daoliu said to Qian Xunji in a low voice, "Qian Xunji, you have taken in two good disciples. Lin Han's talent is one in a hundred years, and Bibi Dong's twin martial souls have unlimited potential. With them, the future of the Spirit Hall is worry-free."

Qian Xunji nodded, his tone proud: "Yes, it is my honor and the Spirit Hall's blessing to have such two disciples. Lin Han's sword and Bibi Dong's poison will surely become the most feared forces on the continent in the future."

Just as the celebration banquet was halfway through, a Soul Emperor-level scout rushed into the hall, bowed deeply, and said urgently, "Your Holiness, High Priest, Lord Lin Han, there is a young man from the Clear Sky Sect at the foot of the mountain, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer. He has a powerful aura and says he wants to challenge Lord Lin Han!"

"What? A young man from the Clear Sky Sect?" Qian Xunji frowned slightly, his expression turning serious. "The Clear Sky Sect and my Spirit Hall have always been at odds. Why would a young man from the Clear Sky Sect come to challenge Lin Han?"

The people inside the hall fell silent instantly, their expressions varying—some surprised, some worried, and some expectant.

The Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect is the most domineering weapon spirit on the continent. Now that a young man from the Clear Sky Sect has come to challenge Lin Han, this duel is sure to be spectacular.

Lin Han put down his wine cup, a sharp glint in his eyes. His tone was calm yet tinged with anticipation: "A young man from the Haotian Sect? It seems you've heard of my exploits and come to challenge me. Very well, I'd like to see just how much strength this prodigy of the Haotian Sect truly possesses."

Bibi Dong quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Junior brother, the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect is extremely domineering. Since that young man dared to come and challenge us, he must be quite strong. You must be careful and not be careless."

"Don't worry, senior sister, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Han smiled slightly, his eyes showing no fear, but rather filled with fighting spirit.

He has never fought against a Soul Master from the Clear Sky Sect since he began cultivating. Now that a prodigy from the Clear Sky Sect has come to challenge him, it is a good opportunity to test his strength and hone his swordsmanship.
