In an Instant

Pink poisonous mist continuously spread through the air.

A dense pink glow lit up from the Mandala Snake's head. With a sharp hiss, it actually shook Beibei off and charged straight at Huo Yuhao and the other two.

"Not good! Xiao Ya, watch out!"

Seeing Tang Ya about to be in danger, Beibei's heart tightened. His gaze deepened as fine arcs of electricity burst from his body, forcibly dispersing the poisonous mist while he charged at the Mandala Snake with all his strength.

His purple Third Soul Ring shone with dazzling brilliance, and a low rumble suddenly erupted from Beibei's body.

Intense blue-violet lightning flared all over him. The scales on his right arm rapidly spread to his right chest, and his entire aura instantly surged.

Third Soul Ring, Thunder's Fury.

Thunder's Fury could instantly increase the power of Beibei's Soul Power attacks by over fifty percent, while multiplying his lightning attribute severalfold.

At the same time, a Thunder Dragon Claw twice the size of the previous one condensed once more and shot toward the Mandala Snake like lightning, intending to intercept it.

At this moment, Tang Ya, whom Huo Yuhao had shielded behind him, also activated her Soul Power. Two yellow Soul Rings rose beneath her feet.

First Soul Skill, Bluesilver Grass Entanglement!

Dozens of thick vines wrapped around the Mandala Snake's body in the blink of an eye, binding it tightly like a dumpling.

However, the thousand-year Mandala Snake was renowned for its powerful body and lightning-fast speed. Mere Blue Silver Grass vines only stalled it for an instant before shattering apart.

Its momentum did not lessen in the slightest as it lunged straight at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's expression remained calm. He gripped the White Tiger Dagger in his right hand and activated it.

Spiritual Detection had already been silently activated.

Under his skilled control, he could even release Soul Skills directly without displaying his Soul Rings.

Huo Yuhao had no intention of using Spiritual Sharing.

He chose to keep the experience to himself!

During his earlier experiments, he had already discovered the strength of this skill.

Spiritual Detection could observe the surrounding situation and an enemy's movements from every angle without blind spots. Wherever his eyes reached, all manner of information would simultaneously appear in his mind.

Distances, movement trajectories, and the specific parameters of various objects were all fed into his mind. Almost nothing around him could remain hidden.

Moreover, compared to when he had first obtained his Soul Ring in the Original Work, when he could only detect a mere thirty meters, he felt that he could now directly cover a range of over a thousand meters.

However, the farther the distance, the greater the Soul Power consumption.

Limited by his current Soul Power, maintaining a range of one hundred meters was the optimal choice.

And with the use of the Soul Soothing Gu, his Spirit Eye had awakened an innate talent.

He could enter a state of acceleration, making himself faster and more elusive.

It was as though he had slowed down time around himself!

Influenced by a novel from his previous life, Huo Yuhao called it Instant!

Although it could currently only last for less than five seconds of normal time, with merely a twofold speed boost, that was more than enough to handle this situation.

The Mandala Snake's tail swayed, and a brilliant pink glow flared from its tip. It lashed out at the pursuing Thunder Dragon Claw, smashing Beibei's enhanced First Soul Skill to pieces.

However, Beibei's attack was not entirely ineffective. As one of the strongest beast martial souls, his attack power was among the very best among Soul Masters of the same rank.

Though the Mandala Snake was fierce, after shattering several lightning Soul Skills in succession, a layer of fine electric light appeared over its body, and it fell straight to the ground.

A good opportunity!

At that very instant, Huo Yuhao moved.

Spiritual Interference + Spiritual Detection + Instant, twofold speed!

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, everything seemed to slow down. He was like the only being moving at normal speed in a slow-motion film, weaving through a time stream stretched into endless length.

Unfortunately, while using Instant made his body faster, it did not greatly improve his neural reaction speed.

It was only with the assistance of Spiritual Detection that Huo Yuhao could perfectly control Instant's accelerated state.

Gripping the White Tiger Dagger, a streak of fluorescent light cut through the air as he slashed at the Mandala Snake's rear.

"Hiss—"

The miserable scream was piercing and shrill, especially clear within the tranquil Star Dou Great Forest.

The Mandala Snake that had made the sound was already at death's door, blood spraying wildly as it nearly died.

The two people and one silkworm were completely dumbfounded. In their eyes, Huo Yuhao, who had been on the verge of death, vanished in an instant, and then they heard a pained hiss.

In the blink of an eye, the situation had completely reversed!

"What... what exactly happened?"

Seeing the scene before him, Beibei froze in place, his face filled with disbelief.

Did little brother Yuhao make his move?

I feel like a fake Soul Elder.

Tang Ya covered her little mouth in shock, her beautiful eyes sparkling with disbelief.

She had originally prepared to use the Tang Sect Secret Techniques and Hidden Weapons to stall for time, but she had never expected Yuhao to subdue it the moment he made a move.

Even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been keeping watch for Yuhao within his Spiritual Sea, cried out in surprise.

"Little Yuhao, what... what just happened? Was that the Soul Skill I bestowed upon you?"

When they ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao had asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to keep an eye on him for safety, in case anything unexpected happened.

And thus, this scene occurred.

Tian Meng: Since when was my Soul Skill this awesome?

Could it be that Yuhao was a buried genius?

But according to the memories she had received, wasn't Yuhao's Innate Soul Power only rank one?

Right? No, that wasn't right!

"Senior Sister Xiaoya, what are you still standing around for? Hurry up and absorb this Mandala Snake's Soul Ring."

Huo Yuhao did not explain himself to them. Instead, he urged her on. He had held back just now; otherwise, that strike would have been enough to kill the Mandala Snake outright.

If they did not finish it off soon, its Soul Ring would form.

With his current strength, he could still deal with it without using Instant, but that would take some effort.

After all, he was only a level 13 Soul Master right now. The longer he dragged things out, the more Trump Cards he would expose.

Hearing this, Tang Ya came to her senses and quickly approached the Mandala Snake. A Flying Dagger about half a foot long appeared in her hand, and she ended its life.

A Purple Soul Ring slowly condensed above the Mandala Snake's head.

"Thank you, Yuhao!"

Tang Ya cheered and gave Huo Yuhao a big hug.

Huo Yuhao nodded and slowly pushed her away. "You're welcome. Hurry up and begin."

If you keep doing this, when will Beibei's Achievement Task ever unlock?

He could already sense Beibei's somewhat uncomfortable gaze.

Tang Ya did not mind. With a giggle, she said, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Help guard me."

As she spoke, she swiftly sat cross-legged beside the Mandala Snake. A shimmering blue light lit up around her right hand. She raised her delicate hand and lightly tapped the Purple Soul Ring above the Mandala Snake.

The Purple Soul Ring was then drawn by the blue light in her hand and began to merge into her body.

After Tang Ya began absorbing the Soul Ring, the two kept watch while chatting.

After fighting together, the relationship among the three had indeed grown much closer.

The main reason was that Beibei had expressed his gratitude to Huo Yuhao, and he could tell that Huo Yuhao did not wish to reveal too much.

Therefore, although he was extremely curious about Huo Yuhao's strength, he had no intention of probing further.

Still shaken, Beibei said, "I'm ashamed. I was too careless. Thank you for stepping in, Junior Brother Yuhao. Otherwise, in that situation just now, Xiaoya might truly have been in danger."

Huo Yuhao smiled. "You're overstating it, Senior Brother Beibei. We're all Shrek students. It's only natural for us to help each other, isn't it?"

"Besides, in that situation, the Mandala Snake was clearly coming for me. I should be thanking Senior Brother Beibei for creating such a suitable opportunity for me."

To build goodwill, these were all necessary sacrifices.

Beibei

Relationship: Friend

Achievement Task: I Am Not a Child Husband

His favorability had jumped two levels in a row.

Sure enough, treat others sincerely, and they would respond in kind.

But this Achievement Task of yours...

If he remembered correctly, it should be related to Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, right?

Good, good, good. I've decided to make you my friend. Let your brother here help share your burden.
