Envious Huo Yuhao! Was the Spirit Eye Martial Soul Really Able to Be Used Like This?

And at this moment...

Tang Ya looked somewhat dazedly at the dead-as-a-doornail soul spider, then looked at the young man not far away who was slowly withdrawing his gaze, for a moment quite at a loss for words.

"Th-this is dead?"

Just now, the three of them had exerted every ounce of their strength, alternating between control and bombardment, exhausted and panting heavily, yet this large spider had repeatedly hopped back and forth as if nothing were wrong.

Yet Liu Yuan merely moved his eyes, a red beam flashed, and the battle was over?

This huge contrast made it somewhat difficult for her to accept.

"Brother Liu Yuan..." Bei Bei took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and walked quickly to Liu Yuan's side, his gaze filled with inquiry.

"That attack of yours just now, how did you pull it off? That kind of destructive power, even if my Thunder Dragon Claw hit the vital spot head-on, I'm afraid it would still be difficult to produce this kind of effect."

Liu Yuan smiled slightly, not putting on airs, and instead explained frankly: "Actually, it's not that my attack power is all that strong, it's mainly that the timing was grasped well."

He pointed to the blown-open head of the soul spider: "I've been observing it the entire time."

"I discovered that although this kind of soul beast possesses perverted regenerative abilities, it's not without a cost."

"Every time it wants to unleash that kind of instantaneous healing ability, it must highly compress all its soul power and spiritual power, gathering it at the grayish-white spot on the top of its head."

"In other words, the very instant it launches its recovery skill, its all-around defense is actually at its weakest, especially that point where the energy gathers."

"My attack just now didn't actually use all that much strength; it was simply like a spark detonating a gunpowder keg, detonating the massive energy accumulating within its body and letting it blow itself to death."

Hearing Liu Yuan's explanation, Bei Bei and Tang Ya suddenly understood completely.

"Borrowing force to strike, expending four ounces to shift a thousand pounds... So that's how it is!" Bei Bei praised and nodded.

"Although the principle is simple, in the midst of that kind of fierce battle, to be able to maintain calm, precisely gain insight into this point, and decisively strike in that fleeting instant for a one-hit kill..."

"Brother Liu Yuan, your insight and battle intuition are truly admirable."

Bei Bei's words were not flattery, but rather a heartfelt sentiment.

One had to know that just now, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection Sharing was assisting the entire scene, and he and Tang Ya could also see every single detail of the soul spider.

However, they were busy attacking and controlling, and completely failed to discover this fatal pattern.

This was the gap!

And right at this moment, Huo Yuhao at the side also walked over. He looked at Liu Yuan's eyes, his gaze filled with curiosity and a trace of an inexplicable yearning.

"Liu Yuan, is your martial soul... also the Spirit Eye?"

Liu Yuan nodded, those double pupils flashing slightly: "Consider it so. But my eyes might have mutated rather thoroughly, so they look a bit strange."

"It really is the Spirit Eye..."

Storms churned within Huo Yuhao's heart.

Both were eye-type body martial souls, and both were spiritual attributes.

Yet look at Liu Yuan!

His first soul skill was that tyrannical red ray, killing a thousand-year soul beast in a single hit!

And look at himself...

Although the million-year soul ring sounded very terrifying, and his four soul skills were all very practical—such as detection, sharing, interference—they were entirely support skills!

His sole means of attack, Soul Shock, still depended on the strength of the opponent's spiritual power, and if things went poorly, it would even backlash against himself.

"How could it be like this?" Huo Yuhao inevitably felt somewhat lost in his heart, unable to help asking within his spirit sea of consciousness.

"Brother Sky Dream, both are the Spirit Eye, why is Liu Yuan's first soul skill so strong? Can I also fire lasers like him?"

"Humph! Keep dreaming!"

Within the spirit sea of consciousness, the plump body of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rolled its eyes and said with displeasure.

"Kid, you don't even look at what kind of eyes those are! Although they are both the Spirit Eye, the quality of his martial soul is far, far higher than yours."

"Moreover, the degree of condensation of that kid's spiritual power is simply terrifying."

"Although the total amount might only be a bit higher than yours right now, in terms of 'quality', he completely crushes you! If we compare your spiritual power to cotton, then his spiritual power is a steel needle! That's why he was able to compress his spiritual power and soul power to the extreme and shoot them out!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm paused, its tone turning somewhat exasperated at his failure to meet expectations.

"It's not that your brother can't cut it, it's that your foundation right now is too poor, kid! If you train your eyes to be as strong as that kid's, your Soul Shock can also blast a person's brains to slag like a cannonball! As for now... you'd better honestly and dutifully be your support!"

Although it cursed like this on the surface, at this very moment, the heart of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was bleeding!

Its round eyes stared fixedly at Liu Yuan outside, and the regret in its heart was immense!

"Ah, ah, ah, ah! Oh heavens! Why?! Why did the old heavens have to play with me like this?!"

"If I had known there was such a top-grade piece of uncarved jade hidden in this forest, why would your brother have been in such a rush to choose this foolish kid back then?!"

"This spiritual power martial soul looks so formidable! If it were residing in that kid's spirit sea of consciousness, plus your brother's million-year spiritual origin, that would definitely be a strong combination, taking flight in the snap of a finger!"

The vexation in the heart of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was such that it simply wanted to smash its head against a block of tofu and die.

Regrettably, the rice was already cooked.

It had already completed fusion with Huo Yuhao, and even if it wanted to go back on it now, it was too late.

"Sigh, such is life..."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm let out a long sigh, and could only silently comfort itself in its heart.

"Fine, fine, although this kid Yuhao is a bit lacking in aptitude, he excels in having a good character, and he's honest... I'll just have to make do and get by."

In the outside world.

Naturally, Liu Yuan knew nothing of how the large bug within Huo Yuhao's body was both lusting after him and feeling deeply mournful.

He looked at the soul spider not far away that had completely died through, and the thousand-year soul ring floating above the corpse and emitting a rich purple light, a trace of burning heat flashing in his eyes.

"Everyone, since the soul beast has been dealt with, I'll go absorb the soul ring first." Liu Yuan turned and said to the three of them.

"Mn, go ahead and absorb it with peace of mind, we'll guard you." Bei Bei nodded, signaling Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao to spread out and remain vigilant of their surroundings.

Liu Yuan said no more, walking to the side of the soul spider's corpse and sitting down cross-legged.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then slowly closed his eyes, a bright flash seeming to sweep past those double pupils the moment they closed.

"Come on!"

With a thought, Liu Yuan used his soul power to guide that purple thousand-year soul ring.

Hum!

The purple ring seemed to receive a summons, slowly drifting down, settling over Liu Yuan's body, and then abruptly contracting!

Boom!

A massive and chaotic surge of energy instantly poured into Liu Yuan's body.

That was the resentment of the thousand-year soul beast after death, along with that massive shock of soul power!

Liu Yuan's body trembled slightly, but he did not panic.

Having the experience of absorbing a soul ring for the first time, combined with the fact that his physical constitution and spiritual power were no longer what they used to be, handling this was naturally much more composed.

Time ticked away second by second.

The three of Bei Bei dutifully stood guard all around, not even daring to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing Liu Yuan.

I do not know how long had passed.

Approximately an hour or so.

The Liu Yuan who had previously remained in a static state suddenly erupted with a strong suction force from his body, and the surrounding heaven and earth energy poured toward him frantically.

Immediately following.

Hum—

Two soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet.

One yellow, one purple!
