The Embodiment of Wolves in Collusion?

The black giant wolf did not immediately launch another attack after knocking Huo Yuhao flying. Instead, it made a great leap to where Huo Yuhao had originally been sitting cross-legged, its eyes filled with sorrow as it looked at the Purple Spirit Wolf lying on the ground.

Huo Yuhao froze for a moment, then roughly guessed the relationship between these two soul beasts. Had the legendary wolves in collusion been made manifest in the Star Dou Great Forest?

After glancing twice at the Purple Spirit Wolf's soul ring, the black giant wolf glared at Huo Yuhao. At the same time, Huo Yuhao sensed mental energy fluctuations blazing around it.

This was actually a mental-attribute soul beast as well. Huo Yuhao was secretly startled. Wasn't it said that mental-attribute soul beasts were extremely rare in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Huo Yuhao's feelings were undoubtedly complicated at this moment. This black giant wolf was probably no more than six thousand years old. With Huo Yuhao having already unlocked the abilities of several eyes, it was not as though he had no chance of absorbing it.

At worst, he could have Tian Meng do the work and seal away part of its power. But he had absolutely no idea what kind of wolf stood before him.

When it came to this creature and the Purple Spirit Wolf, Huo Yuhao had no way to choose between them.

What was even more absurd was that even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the unlucky soul beast that had served as a power bank for so long, did not recognize this wolf-type soul beast.

After the giant wolf's mental energy burned for a while, blood began to flow from its eyes. The next moment, it vanished from before Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Huo Yuhao's senses were extremely sharp. The instant the giant wolf disappeared, he felt a chill rise behind him.

Without further hesitation, he spun around and used ice crystals to block the giant wolf's attack once again.

Crack!

This time, it was not the wolf's claws that broke, but Huo Yuhao's ice crystals.

At that moment, the giant wolf's strength seemed to have increased severalfold in an instant, startling even Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao immediately used the Spirit Eye's first soul skill, Illusionary Thought Confusion. A layer of pale purple mental mist instantly spread between the man and the wolf.

Logically speaking, the giant wolf's movements should have slowed. Its charging rhythm had been interrupted, and both its mental energy and reaction speed had been weakened by thirty percent. No matter how one looked at it, it should not have retained such combat power.

Yet ideals were full, while reality was harsh. The next moment, the black giant wolf demonstrated just how outrageous its racial ability was with its absurdly swift speed and tremendous strength.

Huo Yuhao barely dodged the giant wolf's next attack. Without hesitating further, he instantly activated the ability of the Void Eye.

He was conceptually erased from the black giant wolf's vision. Almost at the same time, the black giant wolf paused for an instant, then abruptly crashed to the ground.

Huo Yuhao was immediately somewhat bewildered, but he still drew the White Tiger Dagger and approached the black giant wolf.

No matter what scheme this giant wolf had in mind, as long as Huo Yuhao approached it with the Void Eye active and gave its neck a slash, the battle would be over.

At this moment, unwillingness showed in the wolf's eyes, and its life force began to rapidly decline the next instant.

Huo Yuhao hurried forward and stabbed his dagger into the wolf's chest.

A deep purple soul ring rose from the black giant wolf's body. Looking at that deep purple soul ring, as well as the Purple Spirit Wolf's soul ring beside it that was already on the verge of dissipating, Huo Yuhao became interested.

"I'd like to see just what soul skill your powerful racial talent will become when combined with my Ice Spirit Eye."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and guided the purple soul ring toward his Spirit Eye.

The absorption process was not difficult. The black giant wolf and the Purple Spirit Wolf seemed to have been the overlords of this small territory. After they died, no soul beasts came to disturb Huo Yuhao as he absorbed the soul ring.

"Too bad I don't have a Soul Tool that can store soul rings. Otherwise, I could take the Purple Spirit Wolf's soul ring with me. No, that wouldn't work either," Huo Yuhao muttered. He could accept a configuration of one yellow and two purple rings.

Unfortunately, there were no what-ifs. When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, he realized just how correct it had been to choose this black wolf rather than absorb the Purple Spirit Wolf.

The wolf had granted him a second soul skill called Iron Will. Once activated, it released his own mental energy. During its duration, all of his attributes were tripled, he ignored all control-type soul skills, and every stat other than Soul Power was locked and could not decrease.

It could practically be translated as immunity to all negative effects.

Huo Yuhao had no idea how a soul beast of this cultivation level had developed such an overpowered racial talent.

However, as a racial talent, it was not without drawbacks. During battle, he had to constantly calculate his mental energy. Once his mental energy was completely burned out, he would die.

Let alone soul beasts, whose thought processes were relatively simple—even humans could not guarantee that they could perfectly calculate their mental energy expenditure in battle.

It could be considered physical immunity to control, but using it added a small control effect to himself.

After carefully working it all out, Huo Yuhao stood up and stretched his limbs before heading out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yuhao hurried all the way and finally arrived at Shrek City just before his twenty-day break ended.

Huo Yuhao timed his return to Shrek Academy well, arriving just after classes ended in the afternoon. After checking in with Mu Jin, he could head straight back to his dormitory to rest.

The moment he returned to the dormitory and opened the door, he saw Wang Dong lying sprawled across her bed, one leg crossed over the other. Her fair bare foot swayed back and forth, and she looked thoroughly at ease.

"Our class monitor Wang is really living comfortably," Huo Yuhao said with a smile as he entered, teasing Wang Dong.

Wang Dong lifted her head. When she saw Huo Yuhao enter, she quickly lowered her leg and sat up, looking at him excitedly. "You're back?! I've been so bored alone in the dorm these past few days. Other than sleeping, all I did was attend class."

Huo Yuhao casually rubbed Wang Dong's hair and said irritably, "You make it sound like you didn't do the same two things when I was here."

Wang Dong immediately said with righteous conviction, "Of course it's different! When you're in the dorm, we can still chat. These past few days, I haven't even had anyone to talk to. It was really boring!"

As Wang Dong spoke, her tone took on a hint of grievance. Huo Yuhao patted her head, then sat on his own bed. "All right, I'll admit you're right. I was gone for quite a while this time, after all. I had to obtain my second soul ring."

Wang Dong smiled, quickly dug out a pair of socks and put them on, then grabbed Huo Yuhao and said...
