Bei Bei: It's the Same Type as Our Ancestor's

Bei Bei was jolted awake, with stiff fur pressing into his face.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and what Bei Bei saw was... the back of a wolf's head!

"Ah!" Bei Bei cried out at once. His body reacted on instinct, and he sprang up with a burst of strength, landing in the snow behind him.

The instant he landed, Bei Bei had already completed his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul Possession. His body swelled by a full size, arcs of lightning crawled over his skin, and two yellow and one purple soul rings rose and fell around him, as if he might launch an attack at any moment.

Only then did Bei Bei notice that he had actually been carried on the back of a white wolf just now.

No, it was not a white wolf carrying him.

It was a figure draped in a white wolf pelt!

And Bei Bei himself was also wearing a similar white wolf-fur coat.

The figure draped in the white wolf pelt turned back in confusion, lifted the wolf-pelt hood, and revealed a cold, handsome, fair face. It was a young man, with ice-blue hair and eyes, and his pupils seemed to carry the patterns of snowflakes.

He just looked like he was not all that bright.

When the young man saw that Bei Bei was awake, he shouted in surprise and joy, "Big Brother Bei Bei, you're finally awake!"

That simple, silly smile instantly wiped away every trace of the young man's cold bearing.

"This..."

A strange young man had called him big brother the moment he opened his mouth, leaving Bei Bei at a loss for a moment, but he still asked warily in quick succession, "Who are you? What do you want? Why am I here?"

"Big Brother Bei Bei, I'm Huo Yuhao!" the young man said, looking aggrieved.

"Huo Yuhao?!" Bei Bei almost popped his eyes out.

You're not! You're lying to me! Don't talk nonsense!

How could the young man in front of him possibly be Little Brother Huo?

Little Brother Huo was clearly a thin, small young man who looked utterly ordinary, with his only trait being that his eyes were rather bright.

"Big Brother Bei Bei, I really am Huo Yuhao! My Martial Soul fully awakened, and then I turned into this." Huo Yuhao scratched his hair in distress.

"Really?" Bei Bei asked suspiciously.

"Really!" Huo Yuhao nodded again and again.

In the end, only after recounting their previous experiences together did Bei Bei barely accept the fact that this young man before him, whose temperament and appearance were both extraordinary, was his Little Brother Huo.

Besides, cases where someone's appearance changed after their Martial Soul awakened were not rare.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Bei Bei also released his Martial Soul Possession, but in the next second, his expression changed drastically as an intense wave of weakness swept over him.

With a thud, Bei Bei sprawled into the snow, smashing out a human-shaped imprint. It was only because Bei Bei struggled to turn his head aside that his mouth and nose were not filled with snow.

"Big Brother Bei Bei!" Huo Yuhao cried out in alarm and hurriedly rushed over, helping Bei Bei up as he asked with concern, "Big Brother Bei Bei, are you all right?"

Grrr rumble—

A loud sound came from Bei Bei's stomach. Bei Bei's face flushed with embarrassment, and he said weakly, "So, so hungry!"

His wise and mighty big-brother image was gone~

From the time Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei were released into the wild by Xuan Zi until now, almost three days had passed.

Huo Yuhao had eaten dry rations on time every day.

But Bei Bei had been starving all the way until now. On top of the fact that Bei Bei had already been weak to begin with, the reason he could wake up today was entirely because his original physical constitution was not bad.

Of course, it was also because Huo Yuhao had not renewed Bei Bei's sleeping package today.

Hearing Bei Bei cry that he was hungry, Huo Yuhao hurriedly reached into his own wolf-fur coat, then pulled out... a piece of roasted wolf meat that still carried Huo Yuhao's body warmth.

Bei Bei: Little Brother Huo's flavor... is a little salty.

Huo Yuhao took Bei Bei to a snow mound that blocked the wind, and then Bei Bei began to eat. He even went so far as to use Martial Soul Possession before he could gnaw through the roasted wolf meat in his hand.

It truly did not taste good.

But for Bei Bei, who was starving, he could no longer care about that much. Even if it had been raw, he would have been able to get it down.

However, as Bei Bei ate the roasted meat, he also sized up Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao noticed Bei Bei sizing him up and could not help giving a simple, silly smile. What stood out was pure innocence and obedience.

At least, that was how it seemed on the surface.

His powerful spiritual power and Pudu Cihang's thousand years of experience had made Huo Yuhao skilled at disguise.

And the reason Bei Bei could not help sizing Huo Yuhao up was that Huo Yuhao's change from before to now was truly too great!

It could not be said that there was no resemblance to before at all, only that this was completely like he had become a different person!

In the end, Bei Bei sighed inwardly.

"I lost~"

Bei Bei prided himself on having no equal in Shrek Academy's Outer Academy. Those more handsome than him did not have talent as good as his, and those whose talent could compare to his were not as handsome as him.

If he, Bei Bei, had not been in unrequited love with one blade of grass, the girls pursuing him would have long since lined up from Shrek Academy's gates all the way outside Shrek City.

But now, facing Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei actually felt somewhat ashamed of his own inferiority. As for talent, although Huo Yuhao's level was not high, he possessed an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul!

Before an Ultimate Martial Soul, no top-tier Martial Soul had the confidence to throw its weight around.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul could not compare, and the Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul likewise could not compare.

Thinking of this, Bei Bei suddenly froze, then hurriedly asked Huo Yuhao, "Little Brother Huo, did you say your Martial Soul fully awakened?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and did not hide it either. He directly kicked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into the Martial Soul Imprint, then summoned the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul.

There was no need to worry about being noticed by anyone else. Other than Huo Yuhao, no one could see Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's figure.

"Frost Centipede, summon!" Huo Yuhao shouted.

The three-meter-long Mutated Frost Centipede appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.

When introducing it to others, Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul was simply the Frost Centipede. Mutated was only a prefix.

The aura of Ultimate Ice erupted, chilling Bei Bei so much that he shivered.

But Bei Bei's attention was completely drawn to the Mutated Frost Centipede's manner of existence. He even forgot to gnaw the meat as he cried out in surprise, "Detached Martial Soul?!"

Was this not the same type of Martial Soul as Ancestor Yu Xiao Gang's from ten thousand years ago?!

Over the past ten thousand years, starting from Yu Xiao Gang, Shrek Academy had also recorded a few cases of Detached Martial Souls, but they were extremely few in number, and all of them were inferior mutations.

Bei Bei could not help forming some bad guesses in his heart.

"After all, it's an Ultimate Martial Soul, so there shouldn't be any major problem, right?" Bei Bei thought inwardly, but did not dare say it aloud, afraid that he would deal Huo Yuhao a blow.

"Big Brother Bei Bei, is there something wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion because of Bei Bei's cry of surprise.

"No, nothing is wrong. Yours counts as a kind of Beast Martial Soul. It's extremely rare, and I've also never heard of a centipede-type Martial Soul with the Ice Attribute. It's called Frost Centipede, right?"

"That's right." Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. "As expected of Big Brother Bei Bei, you really know a lot. I was still worried that my Martial Soul was different from other Beast Martial Souls, but it turns out it's just a rare type."

Looking at Huo Yuhao's innocence, Bei Bei suddenly felt his conscience ache a little.

Then Bei Bei carefully sized up the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul, wanting to see if he could spot any problems.

But very soon, his expression turned strange. "Little Brother Huo, why does your Frost Centipede walk on two legs?"

"Huh? Can a Frost Centipede not walk on two legs?" Huo Yuhao asked back.

"It's not that it can't..."

Bei Bei wanted to speak, then stopped; stopped, then wanted to speak again.

One look, so strange.

Another look, still so strange.

Fortunately, Bei Bei quickly skipped over this question and began asking about other matters.

"Little Brother Huo, how did you awaken your Martial Soul? And where is Elder Xuan? I remember, we seemed to be fighting the Titan Snow Demon King."

Facing Bei Bei's questions, Huo Yuhao had long since prepared. He revealed a heavy expression.

Next, it was time to share the story he had made up on the spot.
