Soul Skill

Bei Bei looked at the fussing Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya, whose prank had succeeded, and rubbed his forehead. What a headache. His head felt a little heavy.

With a helpless sigh, Bei Bei seriously explained to Tang Ya, "We weren't talking about anything unhealthy. We were discussing Yuhao's Soul Skill. Yuhao's Soul Skill is truly a divine support ability. You'll know what it feels like once you experience it yourself."

"Really? Is it that amazing?" Bei Bei's words piqued Tang Ya's curiosity, and she immediately leaned close to Huo Yuhao. "Little Yuhao, hurry and let your sister take a look at your Soul Skill."

Huo Yuhao activated Mental Detection Sharing for Tang Ya.

When Huo Yuhao's skill linked with Tang Ya, she too was stunned by the Soul Skill. Her shocked expression was exactly the same as Bei Bei's when he had experienced it.

Even places within a hundred-meter radius that she could not see with her own eyes could be detected so clearly. She could even probe underground with a thought, while all sorts of data appeared before her.

The image even included various data about her own body. Tang Ya curiously examined it closely, and her face immediately flushed crimson.

It was over—she had been exposed! Why was the water content of the clothes between her legs so much higher than that of the clothes elsewhere on her body?

Th-this wouldn't let Bei Bei notice, would it?

Tang Ya did not even dare look at Bei Bei now. She did not know how to explain it to him, much less how to face him. Was she supposed to confess to Bei Bei that she had become like this just from coming into contact with Yuhao?

Th-this was simply—

Far too embarrassing. Tang Ya felt as though her mind had gone completely blank.

While she was dazed, Tang Ya noticed that the detection image had changed, allowing her to calm down slightly.

The water content of the clothes between her legs had become the same as everywhere else, but before long, it changed back. This repeated over and over.

How could Tang Ya not know that Huo Yuhao was controlling his Soul Skill to tease her? While Bei Bei was not paying attention, Tang Ya's glistening Phoenix Eyes shot Huo Yuhao a fierce glare.

Facing Tang Ya's completely harmless glare, Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and transmitted his voice into Tang Ya's mind with spiritual power. "Xiao Ya-jie, I won't tell Brother Bei Bei. This is a secret between the two of us."

Tang Ya shyly looked away from Huo Yuhao's gaze. She could not help but let out a quiet breath of relief, finally setting her anxious heart at ease.

Watching Tang Ya seemingly have so much fun, Bei Bei said, "Yuhao's Soul Skill is impressive, isn't it?"

Tang Ya answered guiltily, "It really is impressive."

Bei Bei looked at Tang Ya gently and noticed that her cheeks were somewhat flushed. Worried that she might be feeling unwell, he asked with concern, "Xiao Ya, why is your face so red?"

"Ah, is it?" Tang Ya casually pressed a hand to her cheek. "Maybe we've been running for too long. I might have a bit of a fever. It's nothing serious."

Bei Bei was very considerate toward Tang Ya. "We have indeed been traveling for too long. Then let's stop and rest for a while. Yuhao can also introduce his Soul Skill to us."

The three stopped to rest with their backs against the trees, Tang Ya and Bei Bei looking toward Huo Yuhao.

"Little Yuhao, what is your Martial Soul? I still don't know what your Martial Soul is." Tang Ya was rather curious.

Huo Yuhao used Martial Soul Possession, and a faint golden glow lit up his pupils. "It's my eyes. Can't you tell? My eyes glow whenever I use Martial Soul Possession."

Huo Yuhao deliberately wanted to give others the wrong impression, making them think his eyes would glow whenever he used his Martial Soul. In truth, however, his Simulation Soul Skill could conceal this trait.

Bei Bei exclaimed, "I never expected your Martial Soul to be a Body Martial Soul, Yuhao. No wonder your Soul Skill is so powerful."

Tang Ya very much wanted to know what Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill did. After all, that Soul Skill could detect such embarrassingly intimate data, Huo Yuhao could alter it at will, and he could even transmit his voice. With so many functions, she found it hard to believe that this was something a hundred-year Soul Ring could accomplish.

Tang Ya asked, "Little Yuhao, introduce your Soul Skill's effects to us. We'll be working together to help me hunt Soul Beasts in the future, so we need to understand your Soul Skill better."

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao said, "My First Soul Skill is called Mental Detection Sharing. You've already experienced its range. Right now, it can function within an area roughly one hundred meters in diameter. As my Soul Power and spiritual power grow stronger in the future, its range should increase as well. This Soul Skill also does not consume much Soul Power. It mainly consumes spiritual power. I've also developed some small techniques, but they don't affect teammates and are only useful against enemies, so I won't mention them."

"No way." Bei Bei stared at him in disbelief. "A skill with such enormous utility doesn't consume much Soul Power? Your Spirit Eye Martial Soul seems far too powerful."

Tang Ya was also deeply shocked, and even more so than Bei Bei, because she had personally experienced those "small techniques" Huo Yuhao mentioned for dealing with enemies.

Tang Ya wrinkled her Jade Nose slightly and gave a soft snort in her heart. That bad guy really is impressive.

After the three tested Huo Yuhao's skill for a while, they set off again to find a suitable Soul Ring for Tang Ya.

Hard work paid off. Perhaps guided by the powerful fortune of Huo Yuhao himself as a Child of Destiny, the three finally found a life-type Soul Beast recorded as extinct before sunset: Soul-Devouring Grass. It allowed Tang Ya to obtain her thousand-year Third Soul Ring.

Soul-Devouring Grass was also immensely helpful to Tang Ya. First, it granted her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul the "Soul-Devouring" trait, allowing Tang Ya to absorb Soul Power from the air and slightly speed up her cultivation. At the same time, she could absorb Soul Power from enemies during battle to sustain herself. As for its Soul Skill, it could convert Soul Power into life force to heal those connected by Blue Silver Grass.

In truth, there was one more thing Tang Ya had not said. After obtaining this Soul Ring, she could absorb the life force of animals and plants, including humans, to accelerate her cultivation.

She knew this was an ability belonging to Evil Soul Masters. Once this ability was exposed, even with Bei Bei, all that awaited her would be a lifetime confined within Shrek Academy. She would be unable to seek revenge and could only watch her enemies live freely and happily.

Yet Tang Ya did not feel the slightest fear toward such an ability. All she felt was joy welling up from the depths of her heart.

With this ability, she finally had the power to take revenge. She only needed to secretly absorb a little life force from plants. As long as she did not absorb the life force of humans, Tang Ya could still accept it.

The three hurried toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, hoping to leave before night fell completely.

As night approached, Tang Ya put away her worries, a smile curling at her lips as she secretly glanced at Huo Yuhao.

How wonderful. Ever since meeting him, everything seemed to be getting better.

The gentle breeze blew, scattering the beautiful hair by the girl's temples and the worries lingering between her brows.
