Hellfire

Noticing that Tang Ya had finished absorbing it, Beibei stopped teaching Huo Yuhao and told him to first familiarize himself with what he had learned.

Huo Yuhao was beside himself with excitement. The Tang Sect Secret Techniques were simply too profound—Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hand... But most important of all was the Purple Demon Eyes.

Though he had yet to begin cultivating it, he felt that the Purple Demon Eyes had practically been tailor-made for him.

This eye technique was perfectly suited to his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.

Tang Ya excitedly displayed her Bluesilver Grass before Beibei after its latest improvement.

Soul skills should have been an absolute secret to a Soul Master, but everyone before her was someone Tang Ya could trust, so she held nothing back.

Besides, without Zhou Sichen, her Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul could never have improved so greatly. Telling Zhou Sichen about the changes in her Bluesilver Grass would also allow him to offer better suggestions.

After absorbing the Adamantine Vine's soul ring, the Bluesilver Grass in Tang Ya's palm not only experienced another tremendous increase in vitality, but its toughness had also improved by leaps and bounds.

It had more than doubled compared to before—something a beast soul ring could never provide.

Most importantly, though, was her Third Soul Skill.

Her Third Soul Skill was called Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers. Not only was the name pleasing, but its effect was even more miraculous.

After fusing with the Adamantine Vine's characteristics, her Third Soul Skill could transform the originally soft Bluesilver Grass into sharp Blue Silver Blades.

Just like the method the Adamantine Vine had used to attack Beibei, the number of Blue Silver Blades she could create depended on her Soul Power.

Tang Ya herself also knew how to make many Tang Sect poisons. When the time came, if she coated the Blue Silver Blades with deadly poison, would she not become a mobile hidden weapon battery?

Furthermore, thanks to the characteristics of her Third Soul Ring, after binding an enemy, she could activate her Third Soul Skill and directly turn the Bluesilver Grass restraining them into sharp blades.

It would instantly become an absolute shredding attack. These many improvements filled Tang Ya with hope for her Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul once more.

And because the boost from a Thousand Year Soul Ring far exceeded that of a hundred-year soul ring, she could clearly feel the vitality of her Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul growing stronger.

If she continued absorbing powerful plant-type soul rings in the future, or directly absorbed the soul ring of a Ten Thousand Year Level Blue Silver King, her Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul could evolve!

If she had the chance to obtain a Blue Silver Emperor soul ring in the future, her Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul would completely transform into a top-tier martial soul!

The road ahead was bright, and the gains had been immense. Tang Ya was incomparably delighted with this harvest.

The person she was most grateful to was Zhou Sichen.

Without Zhou Sichen, she might never have gained what she had now, nor any hope for the future.

After resolving Tang Ya's soul ring, the group began searching for a suitable First Soul Ring for Huo Yuhao.

Thanks to Tang Ya's successful example, they all now completely trusted Zhou Sichen's theoretical abilities. The soul ring they sought for Huo Yuhao was likewise geared toward control and support.

However, spiritual Soul Beasts were far too rare. With their requirements added on top, finding a suitable soul ring would require not only everyone's efforts, but also a bit of luck.

Yet their luck seemed to have run out. Zhou Sichen had not encountered a single spiritual Soul Beast during this time, so even after half a month of searching, the group had still found nothing worthwhile.

Beside a small stream, Huo Yuhao diligently grilled fish for everyone, but his face was full of conflict.

After a long while, Huo Yuhao said to Zhou Sichen, "Brother Zhou, if it really doesn't work out, just find me any soul ring. Because of me, you've already been delayed for so long..."

Before Huo Yuhao could finish, Zhou Sichen lightly tapped him on the forehead. "What are you thinking? It's never easy for a Soul Master to obtain a soul ring that suits them, especially when the soul ring you need has the rare spiritual attribute. It's only been half a month. There's no rush."

Hearing Zhou Sichen's words, Beibei also said, "That's right, Yuhao. Listen to Brother Zhou. Besides, we've already spent half a month on this. If we give up now, then all the time we spent before would truly have been wasted."

Tang Ya chimed in as well, "Yuhao, remember this: never give up easily, no matter when it is. Otherwise, the result you want will only drift farther and farther away from you. Understand?"

Listening to the comfort of his older brother and sister figures, Huo Yuhao was so moved that his eyes reddened. He turned away and secretly wiped his tears.

Huo Yuhao said firmly, "Mm! I understand, Brother Zhou, Teacher Xiaoya, Senior Brother. I definitely won't give up. In the future, I'll become a powerful Soul Master and use everything I have to repay your kindness!"

Tang Ya giggled. "What are you saying? You're part of our Tang Sect. This is what we should do."

"But we must remember Brother Zhou's kindness. Without him, I wouldn't have improved, and you wouldn't have had a teacher giving you such good advice."

Huo Yuhao nodded earnestly. "Mm, I will."

Zhou Sichen smiled helplessly and exchanged a glance with Beibei. Beibei also said, "I will remember Brother Zhou's kindness as well. Your suggestions for the future development of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul were practically identical to what Xuanzu said. It's hard for me to believe that you're about our age, yet your knowledge is even greater than Xuanzu's."

After a pause, Beibei thought, After all, even Xuanzu had no particularly good suggestions for Xiao Ya's Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul. Among all martial souls, Bluesilver Grass truly is a useless martial soul.

Not even Tang San, the Sea God himself, had been able to change that.

Some people even jokingly claimed that the reason the Sea God could cultivate a useless martial soul like Bluesilver Grass into godhood was because he was not an ordinary person, but a god.

How could humans possibly compare to gods?

Encouraged by everyone, Huo Yuhao's resolve grew firm once again. After the meal, he continued cultivating the Tang Sect Secret Techniques under Beibei's guidance.

After half a month of cultivation, Huo Yuhao had already gained an initial grasp of the Tang Sect Secret Techniques. Among them, the Purple Demon Eyes was the one in which he had progressed the fastest.

Just as Beibei was teaching Huo Yuhao how to cultivate, Zhou Sichen, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and softly said to Tang Ya beside him, "Found it."

Tang Ya was slightly stunned. "Brother Zhou, what did you find?"

Zhou Sichen smiled faintly. "Yuhao's soul ring."

"?" Tang Ya was somewhat confused. She glanced at Ah Da, who was playing with a branch in the distance, and asked doubtfully, "Haven't we been sitting here the whole time? Your Ah Da is here too. How did you find it?"

Zhou Sichen did not hide it. "When you weren't paying attention earlier, I summoned Hellfire. After searching these past few days, it finally found a Soul Beast suitable for Yuhao."

"Hellfire." Tang Ya asked in confusion, "Could that be the name of your second Contracted Soul Beast?"

Zhou Sichen nodded.

Only then did Tang Ya understand. But with such an imposing name as Hellfire, what kind of creature was Brother Zhou's second Contracted Soul Beast?

Wait... Ah Da, just like its name, was the first Contracted Soul Beast? But Ah Da was a Thousand Year Soul Beast. Though she had never specifically asked Brother Zhou about its age, it was definitely a Thousand Year Soul Beast.

If Ah Da was the first, didn't that mean... Brother Zhou's First Soul Ring was at the Thousand Year Level?

How could that be possible? Although there were indeed methods nowadays that allowed one to absorb soul rings beyond one's level, surely no one had a First Soul Ring at the Thousand Year Level?
