Failure at Showing Off, Made a Complete Fool of Himself

Bang!

Jagged rubble flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and Huang Fei's fate was unknown.

He had thought he could show off.

Instead, he had made a complete fool of himself.

The main reason was that he had been too careless.

He had never expected a Thousand-Year Soul Beast to be so terrifying.

More importantly, his Soul Power was only Level 12, even if his First Soul Skill came from a thousand-year ring.

But in the end, it was only a Soul Skill.

Without sufficiently high-level Soul Power to support it,

it could not unleash its true strength.

It was still nowhere near enough when facing a genuine Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Besides, the Vine of Life was only a thousand-year Soul Beast.

The Starfall Ghost Vine was over seventeen hundred years old, infinitely close to eighteen hundred years.

It had already been outmatched in terms of age.

"Die, you beast!"

At that moment, Beibei charged in furiously.

One strike severely wounded the Starfall Ghost Vine.

The terrifying power of lightning knocked it unconscious, though it still clung to life.

Whoosh, whoosh!

At that moment, Dragon Beard Needles shot in from behind.

They pierced through the Starfall Ghost Vine's body, killing it.

The one who had acted was Tang Ya, who had caught up from behind.

A purple Soul Ring emerged from the Starfall Ghost Vine's body.

"Tang Ya, absorb this Soul Ring first. Yu Hao, keep watch for now. I'll go see whether that person is dead."

Beibei took a deep breath. After saying that, he hurried toward the Smoke and Rubble Pile.

"That was a purple thousand-year Soul Ring just now?"

"His aura is at Level 12..."

"A thousand-year First Soul Ring... how is that possible..."

"Could he be a Twin Martial Soul user?"

"And the Martial Soul that appeared in his hand just now seemed to be... Blue Silver Grass..."

Beibei recalled the unclear scene he had glimpsed earlier.

Thinking that he might have seen it wrong, he planned to go over and confirm it himself.

He would also save Huang Fei while he was at it.

As long as Huang Fei was not dead, he could be saved.

Huang Fei had been harmed because of them, which counted as Beibei's failure.

He intended to make up for it.

After all, if Beibei had not been careless, his first move would have been a killing blow.

The Starfall Ghost Vine would never have managed to flee so far.

Even if someone had suddenly appeared along the way, they would not have suffered such a senseless disaster.

In the era of Peerless Tang Sect, people's character was generally not bad.

Good and evil were merely matters of differing positions.

At the very least, it was much better than the First Book.

"A Blue Silver Spear condensed from thousand-year Life Energy was actually so vulnerable before a truly powerful Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"It seems I still underestimated this world's Combat Strength."

"Fortunately, the Blue Silver Spear offset most of the force for me, and the precise techniques of the Combat Technique helped me redirect part of the force at the Critical Moment. Otherwise, it definitely would have hurt even more."

Within the rubble, the smoke dispersed, and Huang Fei crawled out in a rather bedraggled state.

He had never expected his first battle in the true sense of the word to end in such a ridiculous manner.

Although he had redirected much of the force, his body was still covered in scratches from the rubble, and he ached all over.

If he had been hit directly and taken the full Attack Power head-on, he did not dare imagine how agonizing it would have been.

"But this is a good chance to test my First Soul Skill."

With that thought, Huang Fei's purple First Soul Ring rose around him.

His First Soul Skill, Life Recovery, activated.

His Soul Power decreased by ten percent.

That was because he had not used the Wood Breathing Technique or Wood Affinity to enhance it.

He wanted to see just how effective the Soul Skill would be on its own.

The next second,

vigorous jade-green Life Energy instantly enveloped his entire body.

An extraordinarily comfortable sensation arose.

His visible external injuries, as well as the internal injuries invisible to the naked eye, began healing at an astonishing speed.

The process was almost instantaneous.

First, abundant Life Energy filled his wounds.

The next moment, all of them were fully healed.

The pain throughout his body completely vanished.

The torn flesh and skin on the outside left behind no scars either.

His skin remained jade-white, smooth, and clean.

Other than his damaged clothes being unable to recover, even the dust upon them disappeared.

"This!"

"It healed his injuries so quickly?"

Beibei, who had rushed over to inspect the situation, was stunned by what he saw.

As far as he knew, even within Shrek Academy, there were very few Soul Masters who possessed such healing speed.

It was extremely difficult for even one low-level Soul Master to possess it.

Only high-level Soul Masters could do so.

His gaze fixed firmly upon the purple Soul Ring floating around Huang Fei.

There was no mistake.

This was a Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The other person's aura was indeed Level 12.

No more, no less.

He did not seem to possess Twin Martial Souls.

Instead, it appeared to be a purely Healing Martial Soul...

"Then what was that spear just now?"

"Could it also be one of the Soul Skill's effects?"

"Or was it a Soul Tool?"

Beibei was deeply puzzled, but he soon recovered and stepped forward to ask.

"Young Friend, are you all right?"

Hearing this, Huang Fei gathered his Thoughts and looked at the extremely familiar person before him.

He became even more certain that this was Beibei.

Because the other man looked exactly like his character model in the anime.

Huang Fei shook his head and said, "I'm fine. The healing effect of my Soul Skill is even better than I imagined. I just didn't expect a thousand-year Starfall Ghost Vine to suddenly appear here and catch me off guard."

"Uh... I'm truly sorry about what happened just now. We were hunting a Soul Beast and had been pursuing it all along, but that thing was too fast and cunning, so it escaped us. I'm the one who should be apologizing to you."

"Don't worry, I've already killed that beast. My teammate is up there absorbing its Soul Ring."

"By the way, my name is Beibei. What is yours?"

"It seems we were fated to meet."

Beibei scratched his nose and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

He carefully examined Huang Fei. Though Huang Fei's clothes were damaged, it was clear that they were ordinary cloth clothes.

Only commoners wore such things.

In the eyes of nobles, they were low-grade goods.

Yet Huang Fei was handsome and striking, with an extraordinary bearing. He did not resemble a commoner at all.

More importantly, how could a commoner possibly obtain a purple thousand-year Soul Ring as his first ring?

"My name is Huang Fei."

Upon hearing Beibei introduce himself, Huang Fei inwardly thought that it was indeed as expected.

Beibei said, "Since you're all right, why don't we head up first? I need to protect my partner while she absorbs the ring. As for compensating you, we can discuss that later."

Since he was not familiar with Huang Fei yet, he was in no hurry to ask where the Thousand Year Soul Ring had come from.

Otherwise, it would be far too presumptuous.

"All right."

Huang Fei nodded and withdrew his First Soul Ring.

The two quickly headed back up.

Meanwhile, Tang Ya had already sat cross-legged and begun absorbing the Starfall Ghost Vine's Soul Ring.

Huo Yuhao stood behind her as her guardian, sweeping the surroundings with his Spiritual Power.

Because he had overused his Spiritual Power, he was exhausted, and his face had already turned pale.

But his perseverance was strong.

After all, he had grown up in that hellish place since childhood.

He had endured every kind of bullying.

Had his perseverance not been strong enough, he would not have survived until now.

"Brother Sky Dream, I think I saw that person with only one Soul Ring just now, and it seemed to be a purple thousand-year one..."

"Am I just too tired? Did my eyes deceive me?"

After confirming that there was no danger nearby, Huo Yuhao voiced his doubts within his Spiritual Sea.

Within his golden Spiritual Sea was a noble-looking, snow-white giant silkworm, like an enormous bug.

This was the spiritual soul form of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Beside it lay a black, slumbering bead.

This was Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer.

The two most incredible cheats had both been obtained by him alone.

Huo Yuhao had been born a Cheater King.

He truly was worthy of being the child of destiny of this era.
