Taking Tang San's Path, Leaving Tang San Nowhere to Go?
"Mandala Snake!"
"What a long body. It has nearly four hundred years of cultivation."
"Its primary attribute is poison, with earth and wind as secondary attributes. The conditions are quite good."
"Xiao Xuan, it's the one!"
Looking at the dark green triangular snake head before them.
Hu Liena was the first to react, yet she was not flustered in the slightest.
Instead, she revealed a satisfied, confident smile.
A four-hundred-year Mandala Snake!
Perhaps in the eyes of Yu Xiaogang, that so-called theory-based Master, it would count as an enormous nuisance.
But to Hu Liena, whose Martial Soul was of excellent quality and who had devoted herself to training since childhood, it was merely somewhat stronger.
As long as she avoided the giant snake's venom.
Its attack power and defense were simply not worth mentioning.
The moment she finished speaking, her delicate body had already rushed forward.
Her swift and decisive manner truly had a certain flair to it, making Xiao Xuan secretly nod in approval.
Although he was not particularly keen on relying on a woman.
Right now, he had no soul skills to protect himself. There was nothing he could do but shamelessly live off her.
All he could say was, today I'll eat yours; later, I'll let you eat mine...
"A four-hundred-year Mandala Snake in the middle section of Soul Hunting Forest!"
"And judging by the timeline."
"In less than half a month, Tang San will come here with Yu Xiaogang to obtain his first soul ring."
"All signs point to only one truth!"
"This Mandala Snake was originally Tang San's opportunity!"
"Who would have thought I'd steal it for no reason?"
Though the situation was unexpected, Xiao Xuan did not find it inappropriate.
After all, he had never held much affection for Tang San.
Stealing his Martial Soul, farming his experience.
Even taking his girls in the future—wasn't that just standard procedure?
As he thought this, Hu Liena had already launched her assault.
Pink currents spread outward, covering every direction.
They faintly formed a confrontation against the Mandala Snake's poisonous mist.
It was the seductive aura naturally emanating from Hu Liena's Martial Soul.
It did not even count as a Martial Soul skill.
It was more like a passive ability, activated simply by standing there.
It was just that when she was not fighting, she normally restrained it on her own.
"First Soul Skill! Fox Charm Sorcery!"
"Second Soul Skill! Deception Orb!"
"Third Soul Skill! Demon Fox Mist!"
With three consecutive sweet cries, Hu Liena closed in on the giant snake's vital point.
The currents around her graceful body suddenly grew denser.
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into a great mass of red blood mist.
It lightly wrapped around her figure, muddling one's vision and creating a hazy beauty.
One could only vaguely make out her delicate body winding through the mist.
As she neared the Mandala Snake, she executed a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree roll. Her long pale legs, inverted in midair, bent slightly before she landed steadily near the snake's head.
Just as Xiao Xuan watched the battle with complete focus.
And marveled that after transmigrating to another world, he could still see safety shorts.
Another pink wave shot out from the red mist and struck beside the snake's eye.
It exploded with a boom, directly blasting one of the Mandala Snake's eyes apart.
And from beginning to end, the snake had behaved like an idiot.
Its enormous pupils contracted and dilated, but it made no movement whatsoever.
"Is that her soul skill, Fox Charm Sorcery?"
"It seems to use seductive power to immobilize nearby enemies and ensure her safety."
"Then that wave she just fired must have been her second soul skill, Deception Orb?"
"And this blood mist, though not quite as dense."
"Is fairly similar to the fog created by a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"It is probably based on the same principle."
Xiao Xuan analyzed it inwardly, understanding dawning across his face.
Then he saw the Mandala Snake suffer a heavy blow.
It immediately flew into a rage, its thick, lengthy body twisting wildly.
Its tail lashed out fiercely, striking toward Hu Liena.
Left with no choice, Hu Liena lightly leaped away from the Mandala Snake's vital point.
Using the technique of Swallow-like Agility, her entire body floated into the air.
Clearly, at merely level thirty-three, she certainly did not possess a flight-type skill.
Her body tilted slightly out of balance, and she was about to fall.
Seizing the chance, the enormous snake head opened its jaws, intending to swallow her whole.
"Hmph, foolish beast!"
"I've been waiting for this moment. Second Soul Skill, Deception Orb!"
"First shot! Second shot! Third shot!"
Seeing this, Hu Liena's eyes showed not the slightest panic.
Three pinkish-purple pellets formed in her soft palms.
She hurled them out, stuffing them into the Mandala Snake's mouth as though forcing medicine down Da Lang's throat.
Before the beast could understand what was happening.
The soul-power-condensed orbs exploded, just as they had before.
From the inside out, they directly blew apart the giant snake's skull. It sprayed blood as it crashed to the ground and convulsed madly.
Clearly, as an experienced member of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
Hu Liena had long known that the Mandala Snake had thick skin and tough flesh.
Attacking it from the outside was absolutely not an ideal option.
She had merely been waiting for the chance to stuff a few pink pellets into its mouth.
"Quick! Don't worry about me!"
"Take the soul ring first. I didn't hold back enough just now!"
As the Mandala Snake fell, Hu Liena also crashed onto the ground.
Noticing that Xiao Xuan seemed to be planning to come rescue her.
She immediately spoke to stop him, telling him to deal with the soul beast first.
Otherwise, if the snake breathed its last breath.
It would mean Hu Liena had killed it, and no one else would be able to absorb its soul ring.
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan immediately nodded.
By the time he approached, he had already made his decision.
This Mandala Snake's age was certainly sufficient.
As for its attributes, poison was of no use to him, but its earth and wind attributes could both be matched quite well.
According to the system mission requirements, it could be used to add a soul ring to either Giant Soldier or Sky Dragon.
The only difference was whether his first skill would be enhancement-type or attack-type.
There was no suspense—Xiao Xuan naturally chose the latter.
Without powerful offensive strength, pure enhancement was practically useless.
"Tang San's starter pack, I'll accept it on his behalf!"
"When there's a chance in the future, I'll return the favor to Hu Liena."
Xiao Xuan muttered to himself and directly pulled out the dagger he carried with him.
He stabbed it fiercely into the Mandala Snake's head, which had already been nearly blown apart.
The next moment, a pale yellow ring of light emerged from the snake's forehead.
Without wasting any time, he released his Martial Soul and sat cross-legged in the posture he remembered.
The imposing phantom of Sky Dragon slowly appeared.
It let out a silent roar and opened its crimson mouth.
Under his guidance, it swiftly swallowed the soul ring.
In an instant, an icy aura spread in every direction.
The powerful pressure immediately startled Hu Liena, who was resting nearby.
Her beautiful eyes stared blankly over, watching Xiao Xuan's figure in astonishment.
Master had only said that this guy possessed the Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul.
He had never mentioned that the quality of his Martial Soul was this high!
Though she had never seen this crimson Martial Soul before.
There was no doubt that it had to be one of the special dragon species, and its quality was no lower than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
Its potential was terrifying!
"Elder Ju really is something. He didn't even tell me this."
"Was he trying to give me a surprise or a scare?"
"Hehe... this is becoming more and more interesting."
