Chapter 10 Human-Faced Demon Spider.
"Yuhao! Give this soul bone to Junior Brother Wuxuan! After all, this soul beast was given to you by Junior Brother Wuxuan." Bei Bei was the first to recover, looking at Huo Yuhao and instructing him.
Huo Yuhao, though somewhat reluctant, nodded and took a few steps forward, handing the soul bone to Wuxuan.
Wuxuan took the soul bone, remained silent for a moment, then looked at the three and said, "Senior Bei, the attributes of this soul bone don't match mine, so I'll definitely sell it later. Will you buy it?"
Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes flashed with interest, but then, remembering his current situation, his interest dimmed again.
"Buy it! Buy it! Junior Brother Wuxuan, I'm so happy that you thought of me first!" Tang Ya skipped and took the hundred-year-old head soul bone from Wuxuan's hand, overjoyed.
Seeing this, Bei Bei could only helplessly step forward and hand Wuxuan a silver card from her soul tool.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan! We only brought 10,000 gold soul coins with us this time to help Xiao Ya hunt souls. I will definitely make up the difference in gold soul coins when we return to Shrek City at the market price."
"Okay." Wu Xuan nodded slightly and took the silver card from Bei Bei.
Tang Ya walked up to Huo Yuhao with the soul bone and smiled, "Little Yuhao! Now you are also a formal disciple of our Tang Sect. Consider this soul bone a gift from your teacher, Xiao Ya. Don't refuse!"
Wu Xuan didn't show any surprise. In his opinion, Bei Bei and Tang Ya might not really care about this hundred-year-old soul bone. But Huo Yuhao might not.
"Teacher Xiao Ya~!" Huo Yuhao looked at the soul bone in Tang Ya's hand with tears in his eyes.
Since he could remember, Teacher Xiao Ya was the first person besides his mother to treat him so well.
Seeing this, Tang Ya ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair and smiled, "Little Yuhao, don't cry! After you accept this soul bone, you'll have to work hard for the revival of the Tang Sect."
"Yes! Don't worry, Teacher Xiao Ya, I will definitely work hard for the revival of the Tang Sect." Huo Yuhao wiped his eyes and said firmly.
"Okay! Then go and absorb the soul bone!" Tang Ya handed him the soul bone again.
"Okay!" Huo Yuhao took the soul bone and nodded heavily.
Half an hour later, Huo Yuhao stood up with a joyful expression: "Teacher Xiaoya, this soul bone is really suitable for me. It gave me a very powerful mental attribute soul skill, Mental Impact."
"And after absorbing this soul bone, I feel that the range of my first soul skill has doubled."
Wu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this: "Yuhao! What is your first soul skill?"
"Oh! I forgot to mention, my first soul skill is called—Mental Link. Originally, its effect was to provide a global vision to one person within a 100-meter radius centered on me. After fusing with this soul bone, the range has become more than 200 meters." "But this soul skill also has a drawback. The drawback is that it can only provide assistance to two people. If I provide it to someone else, I can't use it myself."
"Hmm! Not bad! It's considered top-tier among support-type soul skills." Wu Xuan nodded in approval.
The original 100 meters has become 200 meters due to the enhancement of the same-origin soul bone. This is the benefit of absorbing the soul ring and soul bone generated from the same soul beast.
Although the range of the soul skill Huo Yuhao obtained was much larger than that provided by the original Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it also had more limitations. After two hundred meters, it would be impossible to increase the range through ordinary means.
"Well! Now that Yuhao has absorbed the soul bone, let's prepare to set off!" Bei Bei also expressed her approval of Huo Yuhao's soul skill and then said.
"Yes! Let's not delay, let's set off now." Tang Ya was also full of excitement at the thought of obtaining the soul ring.
Indeed! No Soul Master could resist the temptation of advancement.
The group set off, Tang Ya and Wu Xuan leading the way, Huo Yuhao in the middle, and Bei Bei at the very back.
In a team hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, those responsible for the rear guard are often in the most danger, as attacks from any direction are possible, and those in front rarely provide timely support.
After acquiring his first Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao clearly felt a significant improvement in his cultivation, especially his physical condition, which made his journey much easier.
As they walked, Bei Bei said to Huo Yuhao, "Junior Brother, our Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Gong is one of the best cultivation techniques on the continent. As long as you practice diligently, you will definitely reap the rewards. Let me first explain the general principles of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu and the rules of the Tang Sect; you must remember them."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded, listening attentively to Bei Bei's explanation.
Huo Yuhao was completely absorbed in the explanation, his expression excited.
Wu Xuan, on the other hand, rolled his eyes to the heavens. What utter nonsense!
Just then, Tang Ya, who was walking to the side, suddenly snorted coldly. Her steps became ethereal, and she flashed forward, lunging towards a large tree on her left. Under Wu Xuan's watchful gaze, several flashes of cold light appeared, and a wind baboon plummeted from the treetop.
Tang Ya said irritably, "These wind baboons are the most annoying! They not only attack first but also love to ambush."
Huo Yuhao, who had been listening to Bei Bei recount the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Treasure Record, hadn't seen how Tang Ya activated it. "Teacher Xiao Ya, were you using a soul skill just now?"
Tang Ya replied with some pride, "No, it wasn't a soul skill. It was a combination of our Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Step and hidden weapons. Impressive, right? You should practice hard, and you'll be able to do it too."
At that moment, Wu Xuan's eyes narrowed. He raised his left leg and kicked out from a distance. A pale blue whirlwind instantly shot out, striking the suddenly appearing black shadow and slamming it into the tree.
This blue whirlwind was none other than the Wind God Winged Dragon's external soul bone skill—Shadow Splitting Whirlwind!
"It's a Human-Faced Demon Spider! Xiaoya, be careful!" Beibei's expression changed drastically upon seeing the shadowy figure, and he quickly stepped in front of Tang Ya. Beibei suddenly raised his right hand, his demeanor undergoing a complete transformation, no longer the gentle and refined man he once was.
A dazzling blue light shone from between his brows, then instantly spread, descending from his brows into his entire body. Streaks of blue-purple electricity erupted like small snakes, swirling around his body.
On the surface, Beibei's changes weren't significant; aside from a blue lightning bolt mark on his forehead, only one part of his body had changed due to the Martial Soul's possession.
However, this one change was exceptionally thorough.
The change occurred in his right arm. The right sleeve, which had been part of his robe, exploded into ashes due to the expansion of his arm. His arm length increased by more than half a foot, becoming extremely thick and covered in blue-purple scales; the hand had transformed into claws.
The blue-purple electric snakes swirling around him continuously condensed and flowed on his arm. The three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—didn't coil around the body like a normal spirit master would, but rather coiled directly on this uniquely mutated arm.
"Is this the dragon transformation unique to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit?" Wu Xuan pondered, examining the changes on Bei Bei's right arm.
