Little Huo Niang's Spirit Ability

After Huo Yutong officially joined, Xu Feng gained a new nickname. Calling him His Royal Highness seemed too distant, and addressing him directly as Xu Feng didn't feel quite right either. So, at Jiang Nannan's suggestion, Huo Yutong started calling him Brother Feng.

"Brother Feng, what are we waiting for?"

Huo Yutong was a bit bewildered. They had been waiting here for a long time, but aside from the wind baboon they had just killed a moment ago, not a single spirit beast had appeared.

"Er..." Xu Feng didn't know how to answer either. He was waiting for the Tianmeng Iceworm, and seeing by the way if he could intercept Electrolux.

However, they had waited from noon until evening, and that big fat bug never showed up. It wasn't that they hadn't tried leaving Huo Yutong alone in place, but nothing was lured over other than the wind baboon they summoned.

At the same time, outside the Sun Moon Empire, Gu Yena had already packed up the Tianmeng Iceworm and brought it along when she came, just to show her sincerity.

Although it looked a bit ugly, it was nonetheless a million-year spirit beast, and the energy contained within its body was extremely strong. It would also taste very good cooked into a meal.

No matter how capable the Tianmeng Iceworm was, it was impossible for it to escape from the hands of a god. It could only be sadly captured in hand, awaiting its fate of being sent to the kitchen.

The scene returned to the Star Dou Great Forest. Wang Yiheng eventually searched the entire Star Dou Great Forest before finally finding a hundred-year mental-attribute spirit beast.

"Wow, mental-attribute spirit beasts are really hard to find..."

Xu Feng glanced at the time. He remembered that when Wang Yiheng left, it should have been the middle of the night, but now, the sun had already risen.

Wang Yiheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's mainly because hundred-year ones are too scarce. For mental-type spirit beasts, the further along you go, the stronger they are, while the early stages are very weak. I found quite a few hundred-thousand-year levels along the way, but hundred-year ones... are indeed really hard to find."

Xu Feng nodded, his gaze landing on that spider not far away. Its body was not large, only the size of a washbasin, and its eight slender legs were covered with pale purple fuzz.

"Wait, is this spider really mental-type?" Xu Feng had seen anywhere from eight hundred to a thousand types of spirit beasts, but he had never heard of any spider that wasn't poison-attribute, but mental-type instead.

Spider-type spirit beasts were either poison-attribute or earth-attribute, and at most, a few mutated varieties possessed the ice-attribute or fire-attribute. Mental-type? That was simply unheard of.

"Maybe it mutated." Wang Yiheng shrugged. He hadn't believed it at first either. When he first spotted this spider, he thought it was just some ordinary venomous spider and prepared to finish it off casually.

Yet the moment he got close, an invisible mental shock slammed violently into his mind.

That was a standard mental-type attack, though it was directly bounced back by the self-defense of his own sea of consciousness.

"Yutong, even though it's only a hundred-year level, just make do with it."

"A hundred-year one is already very good, Brother Feng. Without you, I probably would have just picked a random ten-year spirit beast."

If she hadn't met Xu Feng, she would probably still be worrying right now about how to hunt a ten-year spirit beast.

That wind baboon, although only a ten-year spirit beast, was still an extremely difficult target for a young girl with just level 10 spirit power to kill on her own.

She knew her own strength very well and understood what this hundred-year mental-type spirit ring meant to her. It wasn't just a spirit ring, but an opportunity to change her destiny.

Huo Yutong took a deep breath, squatted down, pressed her palm against the spider, and took out the White Tiger Dagger to deal it the final blow.

Soon, a ring of yellow spirit ring slowly rose from the spider's carcass. Huo Yutong closed her eyes, guiding that ring of spirit ring to slowly approach her own body.

The instant the spirit ring touched her body, a violent mental fluctuation spread outward fiercely. During the absorption process, the color of the spirit ring was actually shifting toward purple.

Xu Feng watched Huo Yutong absorbing it steadily. Sure enough, even without the Tianmeng Iceworm, the Douluo Consciousness still came to cheat for its precious daughter.

Normally, during the process of absorbing a hundred-year spirit ring, if the spirit ring underwent evolution and evolved to a thousand-year one—

There was a ninety percent chance the person would burst apart and die, and a ten percent chance they might succeed in absorbing it, but they would also suffer severe impacts.

Huo Yutong absorbed this spirit ring without the slightest impact. Clearly, it was the Douluo Will cheating for her.

"Whoa, there's even a spirit bone, and it's an external spirit bone at that."

Xu Feng merely poked at the spider's carcass out of curiosity, only to find that this carcass actually still had a spirit bone, and it was even the rarest kind of external spirit bone.

How was he supposed to put this? Wasn't it a bit too obvious that she was cheating for her daughter? How could a hundred-year spirit beast, even if it were a thousand-year one, drop a spirit bone?

"Brother Feng, this is?"

Huo Yutong finished absorbing the spirit ring, opened her eyes, and saw Xu Feng playing with the spider's carcass over there.

"This spider actually yielded a spirit bone. You absorbed its spirit ring, so you should also absorb this spirit bone to bring out its maximum value."

Xu Feng was quite curious now what kind of growth Huo Yutong would undergo after absorbing this spirit ring and spirit bone.

Huo Yutong picked up the spirit bone and began to absorbing it. This external spirit bone was a set of arm bones, and the absorption process was exceptionally smooth as well, without any accidents occurring whatsoever.

"Yutong, what is your spirit ability?"

"Er..."

Huo Yutong felt the spirit power fluctuations within her body. To be honest, this spirit ability was a bit abstract—very abstract.

What gave her an even bigger headache was that this spirit ability actually had no way of being actively used; it was a completely passive skill. This meant she could not unleash it at will during combat like other spirit masters.

"Brother Feng, throw some things at me."

Huo Yutong took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and thought of a testing method.

Xu Feng picked up a stone from the ground. With a casual toss, the stone flew straight toward Huo Yutong.

Yet the moment the stone was about to hit her, her body tilted slightly, and the stone flew past her collar, without even touching a single strand of hair.

"Interesting." Xu Feng picked up a few more stones, speeding up his throwing velocity and angles.

The first stone struck straight for her face, the second stone ambushed her from the side, and the third stone aimed for the back of her head, but all of them were dodged entirely.

Xu Feng glanced at Jiang Nannan beside him. Jiang Nannan understood, directly unleashing her fourth spirit ability that she had just acquired: Teleportation.

She vanished from the spot instantly, and the next second had already appeared behind Huo Yutong, her palm slapping toward her shoulder.

However, the moment Jiang Nannan's palm was about to touch Huo Yutong, her body suddenly leaned forward, evading the attack at an extremely minimal angle.

"This is my spirit ability. When my martial soul is not activated, as long as anyone launches an attack against me, my brain will feel a stinging sensation, giving me an early warning."

"And when my martial soul is activated, I can see what the opponent's attack looks like when they launch it."

This spirit ability seemed simple, but upon closer thought, it was quite simply a divine skill born for combat.

Whether it was early warnings or pre-judgment, both allowed Huo Yutong to hold an absolute advantage in combat.

Especially when facing surprise attacks and assassinations, the value of this passive skill was simply immeasurable.

"Then, what is the spirit bone's ability?"

Huo Yutong didn't speak. She made a hand gesture toward a tree nearby, and then, spider silk shot out from her wrist. Pulling hard, she yanked the tree right in half.

Xu Feng's expression as he looked at Huo Yutong changed. With this spirit ability combined with this spirit bone, only one descriptive word came to his mind: Spider-Man.
