Chapter 304: Testing The Limits Of Soul Skills: Soul Needle
Back in the quiet of his courtyard, Han Yu sat cross-legged beneath the peach tree that shaded the small training area which was just a empty part of the courtyard without any plants.
The bamboo walls blocked the view from outside, and the courtyard formation ensured his actions remained undetected unless someone was actively spying—which would be foolish, considering the subtle detecting Talismans he’d discreetly layered along the perimeter.
He had spent a small fortune on protecting his courtyard this way.
A faint breeze stirred the dust.
Han Yu laid out the materials before him on a cloth mat: a dozen talismans of various grades, shapes, and attributes. Some were defensive, like the Iron Veil Barrier and Stone Dome Charm.
Others were offensive: Flameburst Scroll, Wind Saber Script talisman, and even a low-tier Lightning Arrow Strip. The rest were auxiliary—flash movement talismans, qi detection enhancers, and even a weak spiritual decoy tag.
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Spending good merit points to destroy talismans... This better be worth it."
But it had to be done.
Han Yu had long realized that while his Soul Qi was steadily increasing, his practical application of it in combat remained untested. And having power that couldn’t be wielded with precision in a real fight?
That was worse than being powerless. One hesitation in using the wrong technique at a crucial time, and he could be dead.
So, it was time to know. What worked—and what didn’t.
