Huo Yuhao Was Stunned! Undying and Immortal? Was This Still a Spirit Eye?

"Th... it grew back?"

Tang Ya tremblingly reached out, wanting to touch Liu Yuan's newly regrown left hand, yet she did not quite dare to, as though it were some unreal illusion.

Bei Bei's eyes were wide as well, fixed on Liu Yuan's wrist. The skin there was smooth as jade, without even the faintest scar.

If not for the shocking pool of blood on the ground, he would have thought that what had just happened was an Illusion Technique.

"Limb Regeneration... That was something only high-level Soul Masters with top-tier healing Martial Souls could possibly achieve!" Bei Bei drew a deep breath, unable to conceal his shock.

"Little Brother Liu Yuan, this is only your Second Soul Skill... Isn't that far too outrageous?"

Huo Yuhao stood dumbly to one side, his mind completely blank.

As a novice who had only just entered the world of Soul Masters, his worldview suffered an unprecedented blow at that moment.

Soul Masters... could actually do things like this?

"The principle is actually very simple."

Liu Yuan flexed his new wrist and explained to the group, "Just as I said before, my Second Soul Skill is called 'Undying Body.'"

"It inherited the Soul Spider's core trait, creating a deep bond between Spirit Power and vitality."

"As long as my brain—or rather, my Spirit Sea—is not instantly destroyed, I can consume Spirit Power to repair any injury to my body."

At this point, Liu Yuan paused. A confident smile curved his lips. "In other words, as long as my Spirit Power is not exhausted, I am practically immortal."

"Spirit Power unending, flesh undying?!"

Hearing this explanation, the three of them sucked in another cold breath.

This kind of Soul Skill was practically cheating!

Just think about it: on a battlefield, you went through every effort to beat your opponent until they were missing arms and legs, only for them to recover in the blink of an eye. What kind of psychological trauma would that inflict on their enemy?

"That's too absurd... truly too absurd..."

Tang Ya muttered, "What kind of Spirit Eye Martial Soul is this? This is practically an Undying Body Martial Soul!"

Amid his shock, bitterness once again welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart.

He could not help asking in his heart, Brother Sky Dream, I also have a Spirit Eye. If I absorbed a Soul Beast like the Soul Spider, could I gain an ability like this Undying Body too?

"Stop dreaming."

Within the Spirit Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm mercilessly poured cold water on him.

"How many times have I told you? That kid's eyes may also be called Spirit Eyes, but they have fundamentally mutated. They are nothing like yours!"

"This Martial Soul itself has an extremely high degree of adaptability and plasticity. It can perfectly seize and fuse with the innate talents of Soul Beasts. As for your eyes... while they are also a Body Martial Soul, they are inferior by far more than just a little."

"It's like eating. Whatever someone else eats nourishes them; when you eat too much, you get indigestion."

"If you absorbed that kind of Soul Ring, you would most likely only gain an ordinary spiritual-defense Soul Skill. There is no way you could achieve this kind of reconstruction involving the essence of life."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

"Besides, didn't you hear him? The core of this Soul Skill is consuming Spirit Power. That kid's Spirit Power is as vast as the sea, so naturally he can withstand that kind of expenditure. But if it were you..."

"Even if you had this skill, with your current Spirit Power, you would probably pass out before you could regrow even a finger."

"..."

Huo Yuhao fell silent.

Although Brother Sky Dream's words were harsh, he knew they were the truth.

Comparisons really did make people furious.

Over the following days, the four-person team did not disband just because Liu Yuan had broken through.

Liu Yuan was a man who kept his promises.

Since they had agreed from the beginning to help each other and hunt Soul Beasts together, he naturally would not leave alone before Tang Ya obtained her Third Spirit Ring.

Moreover, after spending the past few days together, he genuinely felt that these people were quite decent.

Bei Bei was upright and steady. Though Tang Ya could be a little mischievous, she had a good heart. Huo Yuhao was an honest, hardworking kid, and his grilled fish was exceptional.

Thus, over the next three days, Liu Yuan continued to accompany the Shrek trio around the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

With Liu Yuan, this powerful reinforcement, joining them, their hunting efficiency increased enormously.

Liu Yuan's Double Pupil possessed exceptional Insight. Combined with Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection Sharing, it was like having the entire map revealed. No hidden Soul Beast could evade their search.

Whenever they encountered battle, Liu Yuan's terrifying offensive power and nearly immortal recovery ability also left Bei Bei and Tang Ya utterly amazed.

On one occasion, they even encountered a two-thousand-year-old Wind Baboon launching a sneak attack.

That Wind Baboon was incredibly fast and nearly scratched Tang Ya. Liu Yuan charged straight at it, took its claw head-on, then blasted its head apart with a backhanded Spirit Ray.

That savage fighting style made Bei Bei's eyelids twitch.

Finally, on the evening of the third day.

In a secluded valley, they found a thousand-year-old Mandala Snake that was highly suitable for Tang Ya.

This Mandala Snake had a cultivation of roughly thirteen hundred years, just reaching the limit for Tang Ya's Third Spirit Ring.

The battle held no suspense.

Through the coordination of Liu Yuan, Bei Bei, and Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya smoothly killed the Mandala Snake, successfully absorbed its Soul Ring, and advanced to become a Soul Elder.

"Whew—finally done!"

Tang Ya stood after absorbing the Soul Ring. Feeling the abundant Soul Power within her, she revealed a brilliant smile. "Thank you, everyone! Without you this time, it definitely would not have gone so smoothly!"

"Congratulations, Teacher Xiao Ya!" Huo Yuhao immediately offered his congratulations.

Bei Bei also looked at Tang Ya with an indulgent expression.

Standing to one side, Liu Yuan smiled and nodded. "Congratulations. Since you have obtained your Soul Ring as well, our temporary team's mission has come to a successful conclusion."

As he spoke, he straightened his slightly damaged clothes and cupped his fists toward the three of them. "All feasts must come to an end. Everyone, thank you for looking after me these past few days. I will especially miss Yuhao's grilled fish."

"Let us part ways here. Until we meet again."

With that, Liu Yuan turned around, preparing to leave in style.

He was planning to go to the Body Sect.

"Wait!"

At that moment, two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei exchanged a glance, as though they had reached some unspoken understanding.

Tang Ya quickly stepped forward and blocked Liu Yuan's path. Her large eyes blinked at him, her face carrying a hint of expectation and sincerity.

"Liu Yuan, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

"What is it? Do you still need something, Xiao Ya?" Liu Yuan stopped, looking at her somewhat curiously.

Tang Ya took a deep breath. Her usual playful smile vanished, and her expression turned solemn. "Actually... after observing you over the past few days, Bei Bei and I both feel that you are extremely talented and a person who values loyalty and friendship."

"Our Tang Sect is in need of people right now. Though it has declined somewhat, its foundations remain. Moreover, we possess the finest hidden-weapon techniques and cultivation methods on the continent..."

At this point, Tang Ya paused, extended a hand toward Liu Yuan, and earnestly invited him:

"Liu Yuan, would you be willing to join our Tang Sect?"

"After joining, you can go study at Shrek with us too!"
