Man Faced Demon Spider

"Yuhao! Give this soul bone to Junior Wu Xuan! After all, Junior Wu Xuan yielded this soul beast to you." Beibei was the first to recover, turning to Huo Yuhao with the instruction.

Though Huo Yuhao was somewhat reluctant, he still nodded. He stepped forward and handed the soul bone to Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan accepted the soul bone and fell silent for a moment. Then he looked at the three of them and said, "Senior Beibei, this soul bone's attributes don't match mine. I'll definitely have to sell it later. Would you buy it?"

A flicker of interest crossed Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes, but when he remembered his current circumstances, that interest dimmed again.

"Buy it! We'll buy it! Junior Wu Xuan, I'm so happy that you thought of your senior sister first." Tang Ya bounced over and took the hundred-year Head Soul Bone from Wu Xuan's hand, looking delighted.

Seeing this, Beibei could only step forward helplessly and take a silver card from his Soul Tool, handing it to Wu Xuan.

"Junior Wu Xuan! We only brought ten thousand Gold Soul Coins with us this time to help Xiaoya hunt a soul beast. Once we return to Shrek City, I'll make up the remaining Gold Soul Coins at market price."

"Mm, alright." Wu Xuan nodded slightly and accepted the silver card from Beibei.

Holding the soul bone, Tang Ya walked up to Huo Yuhao and smiled. "Little Yuhao! You're now an official disciple of our Tang Sect. Take this soul bone as a meeting gift from Teacher Xiaoya. Don't refuse, okay?"

Wu Xuan showed no surprise at this. In his view, Beibei and Tang Ya might not even think much of a hundred-year-quality soul bone. But Huo Yuhao was another matter.

"Teacher Xiaoya..." Huo Yuhao looked at the soul bone in Tang Ya's hand, his eyes brimming with tears.

Ever since he could remember, Teacher Xiaoya was the first person besides his mother to treat him so well.

Seeing this, Tang Ya rubbed Huo Yuhao's head and smiled. "Little Yuhao, don't cry! Once you accept this soul bone, you'll have to work hard for the revival of our Tang Sect in the future."

"Mm! Don't worry, Teacher Xiaoya. I'll definitely work hard for the revival of the Tang Sect in the future." Huo Yuhao wiped the corners of his eyes and spoke with firm conviction.

"Mm! Then hurry and absorb the soul bone!" Tang Ya handed the soul bone over once more.

"Mm!" Huo Yuhao accepted the soul bone and nodded heavily.

Half an hour later, Huo Yuhao stood up with a delighted expression. "Teacher Xiaoya, this soul bone really suits me. It gave me a very powerful Spirit Attribute soul skill, Spirit Shock."

"Also, after absorbing this soul bone, I feel that the range of my First Soul Skill has doubled."

Wu Xuan raised his brows slightly. "Yuhao, what is your First Soul Skill?"

"Oh! I forgot to mention it. My First Soul Skill is called—Spirit Link. Its original effect was to provide one person within a hundred meters around me with an overall field of vision, centered on me. After fusing with this soul bone, the range has become over two hundred meters."

"But this soul skill also has a drawback. It can only assist two people. If I provide it to someone else, I won't be able to use it myself."

"Mm, not bad! It can be considered exceptionally good among support-type soul skills." Wu Xuan nodded in approval.

The original hundred-meter range had become two hundred meters due to the boost from a soul bone of the same origin. That was the benefit of absorbing a Soul Ring Soul Bone produced by the same soul beast.

Although Huo Yuhao's soul skill had a much greater range than the one originally provided by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, it had more restrictions. After reaching two hundred meters, it would probably be impossible to increase the range through ordinary means.

"Mm! Since Yuhao has finished absorbing the soul bone, we should prepare to set off!" Beibei also expressed approval of Huo Yuhao's soul skill before speaking.

"That's right! We shouldn't delay. Let's set off now." Thinking of obtaining her soul ring, Tang Ya was also full of excitement.

Indeed! No soul master could resist the temptation of advancing.

The group set off. Tang Ya and Wu Xuan walked in front, Huo Yuhao was in the middle, and Beibei brought up the rear.

Among teams hunting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, the person responsible for bringing up the rear was often in the greatest danger. Soul beast attacks could come from any direction, and those ahead would have a hard time providing timely support.

After gaining his First Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao clearly felt that his cultivation had improved greatly. In particular, the strengthening of his physical condition made traveling much easier.

As they walked, Beibei said to Huo Yuhao, "Junior Brother, our Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill is one of the finest cultivation methods on the continent. As long as you cultivate diligently, you'll definitely gain something. I'll first explain the general principles of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and the rules of the Tang Sect. You must remember them well."

"Alright." Huo Yuhao nodded and listened attentively to Beibei's explanation.

Huo Yuhao listened to the explanation with rapt attention, his expression growing increasingly excited.

Meanwhile, Wu Xuan was practically rolling his eyes. What kind of incoherent, brain-dead nonsense was this?

Just then, Tang Ya, who was walking nearby, suddenly snorted coldly. Her footsteps abruptly turned illusory as her body flashed several times in an instant, pouncing toward a large tree on the left. Under Wu Xuan's watchful gaze, several cold flashes streaked by, and a Wind Baboon fell from the treetop.

Tang Ya said irritably, "These Wind Baboons are the most annoying. Not only do they attack proactively, they love sneak attacks too."

Huo Yuhao had been listening to Beibei explain the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and had not seen clearly how Tang Ya made her move at all. "Teacher Xiaoya, was that a soul skill you used just now?"

Tang Ya looked somewhat smug. "It wasn't a soul skill. It was the combination of our Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and hidden weapons. Impressive, right? Cultivate well, and you'll be able to use it too someday."

At that moment, Wu Xuan's eyes narrowed. He raised his left leg and kicked through the air. A pale green whirlwind shot forth in an instant, striking the Black Shadow that suddenly sprang out and smashing it into a large tree.

This green whirlwind was precisely the skill of the Wind God Winged Dragon External Soul Bone—Cracked Shadow Whirlwind!

"It's a Man Faced Demon Spider! Xiaoya, be careful." Beibei's expression changed abruptly after seeing the Black Shadow clearly. He quickly stepped in front of Tang Ya. Beibei suddenly raised his right hand, and his aura underwent a complete transformation, no longer carrying his former gentle elegance.

A dazzling mass of blue light lit up from the center of his brow. The blue light instantly spread, descending from his brow and flowing throughout his body. Bolts of blue-violet electricity erupted like little snakes, winding around his body.

From the surface, Beibei's transformation was not particularly great. Other than a blue lightning mark appearing on his forehead, only one part of his body changed due to Martial Soul Possession.

Yet that single change was exceptionally thorough.

The part that changed was his right arm. His right sleeve burst apart completely as his arm swelled, turning to ash. The arm grew by over half a foot, becoming immensely thick and covered in blue-violet scales, while his hand turned into a claw.

The blue-violet serpentine lightning circling around him continuously gathered on or coursed across his arm. His two yellow and one purple soul rings did not circle his body like those of an ordinary soul master, but instead revolved around this uniquely mutated arm.

"Is this the Dragonification unique to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul?" Wu Xuan examined the changes in Beibei's right arm with a thoughtful expression.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes martial soul was already a top-tier martial soul. The Twin-Eyed Giant possessing soul skills similar to it was still within reason.

Huo Yuhao can't be crippled right from the start. I still want to torment him later.
