First Experience with a Million Year Soul Skill

"If it's only a demonstration of my soul skill, I don't think there'll be a problem."

Seeing the curiosity on everyone's faces, Huo Yuhao ignored Brother Sky Dream's clamoring in his Spiritual Sea for him to show off and took the initiative to reveal his soul ring before them.

Huo Yuhao swiftly circulated his Soul Power and infused it into his Spirit Eye. The soul skill he had obtained not long ago immediately surfaced in his mind.

A faint golden glow emerged within his deep-blue eyes, while a lustrous white soul ring rose from beneath his feet.

The Heaven Dou Empire's princess, who had been about to ask what soul beast Huo Yuhao's first soul ring came from, stared at that pristine white, never-before-seen ten-year soul ring as if her pupils had just suffered an earthquake.

Her expression: grumpy cat face.jpg Ling Luochen, a Shrek Inner Courtyard disciple standing nearby who did not understand the power of a million-year soul ring and could only judge by appearances, was equally stunned.

She could not understand why Lin Wan'er, whose status was more prestigious than all of Shrek's Core Disciples combined, had brought a boy with only a ten-year soul ring back to Paradise City.

Could he really be, as Sister Yi Lisi had said, the Holy Maiden's little male pet...? Brain completely blank.jpg Even with stormy waves raging in their hearts, the two swiftly composed themselves and returned to their usual cool, queenly expressions.

Only the three female soul masters among Paradise City's upper ranks noticed the truth beneath that white halo: this seemingly ordinary young man's first soul ring was actually a million-year soul ring that existed only in legends and ancient accounts! No wonder the Holy Maiden had not issued a mission for others to bring back and nurture this homeless little genius, but had instead chosen to act personally.

After exchanging glances, the group raised Huo Yuhao's status infinitely higher in their minds. They put away their frivolous expressions and carefully observed the effects of the soul skill granted by the million-year soul ring, wanting to see whether it truly was as powerful as the legends described.

As Huo Yuhao activated his Soul Power, the white soul ring gave off a faint radiance.

There appeared to be no other outward sign, but in the next instant, everyone's bodies trembled at once, shock filling their eyes.

Under their gazes, time itself seemed to slow. Everything around them became extraordinarily clear, and wherever their eyes fell, vast amounts of information instantly appeared in their minds.

As Yi Lisi looked at Huo Yuhao, the distance between them appeared in her mind. She could even sense the changes in the force of every muscle in Huo Yuhao's body. Every minute detail was clearly displayed in the depths of her mind.

More than that, within a thirty-meter radius, they did not need to use their eyes at all. Every scene was presented in three-dimensional form within their minds, and even the slightest change anywhere was immediately reflected in their brains.

This was...

So this was little brother Huo Yuhao's first soul skill? The strength of a million-year soul ring truly exceeded expectations. As a Titled Douluo, Yi Lisi reckoned that if she could carry Huo Yuhao's first soul skill with her, then the Soul Bone in Xuan Zi's hands and that chicken drumstick he never let out of reach would both be hers for the taking, wouldn't they? While the three Paradise City higher-ups launched into a brainstorming session, the two comparatively innocent little girls, who had never suffered hardship, reacted differently after marveling at this unfamiliar field of vision. They instinctively crowded around Huo Yuhao from either side, calling him "Little Brother Yuhao" over and over.

It left Huo Yuhao unbearably awkward, and he nearly failed to maintain the soul skill.

Fortunately, seeing that he was truly about to faint, Lin Wan'er quickly pulled away the two little ancestors who had no sense of propriety after spending too long with the three Paradise Troupe sisters and had developed a distorted sense of themselves.

The Heavenly Soul princess did not get upset after being pulled away. At that moment, she was lost in fantasy.

Wei Na, who possessed the Brain Body Martial Soul, forgot all about her identity as a princess. Her mind was filled with thoughts of whether a child born from the union of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul and the Brain Martial Soul would possess an invincible Body Martial Soul.

Having experienced such a vast and wondrous spiritual field of vision, she could easily infer the uses of this soul skill.

For instance, if used in the imperial palace and on the ministers, it could observe everyone's every word and action. Who was lying and who was loyal to the imperial family would be obvious at a glance.

Ever since the incident in which the Body Sect came demanding someone and she saw the helpless look in her brother's eyes, even though Wei Na later joined both the Heaven Soul Sect and the Body Sect, officially becoming the beloved princess of all "three families,"

she had always wanted to find herself a good husband, a reliable backer—someone good enough to become a god, or at least protect the Heaven Dou Empire from decline for several hundred years.

Although Huo Yuhao was a little young and comparatively weak, his background should be very clean! Besides, Lin Wan'er had personally brought him back, so there would be no problem with him marrying into the imperial family! And Huo Yuhao was handsome—far more handsome than that person who was currently pursuing her. Hehehe.

Ling Luochen, who had once suffered from a severe brother complex but had now been set straight by Bi Ji and the others, naturally understood what her close friend, whom she spent every day and night with, was thinking. She instinctively used her first soul skill and summoned a two-meter-long staff formed entirely from ice crystals.

She gently placed it against the little princess's face, shattering her beautiful dream.

"Ahhh! Ling Luochen, you actually used your first soul skill to freeze this princess's delicate face! Just watch how I deal with you!"

Unwilling to be outdone, Wei Na revealed her yellow, yellow, purple, and purple soul rings.

Although her first Martial Soul was the healing-type Snow Lotus, after infusing it with Soul Power, she could still give her overconfident little sister a good chill.

Because Huo Yuhao had failed to deactivate his first soul skill, the spar between the two became much more refined. Every move struck at the other's weakest points, making Lin Wan'er nod repeatedly from the side.

She praised Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, your soul skill is truly useful. If used on someone in battle, it could raise the overall combat strength of allied soul masters by around fifty percent."

Naturally, Huo Yuhao did not know that most of those present had attributed the marvels he displayed to the million-year soul ring, as well as the amplification brought by his Spirit Eye Body Martial Soul.

The first soul skill attached to this million-year soul ring was Spiritual Detection, while its second soul skill was Spiritual Sharing.

Both skills were support-type. Since it was Huo Yuhao's first time using them, he had yet to fully grasp their mysteries, but they had already demonstrated tremendous usefulness.

Thus, after receiving Lin Wan'er's praise, he calmly scratched his head and smiled happily.

With his current physical strength, the power of the soul skills provided by the soul ring formed from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was roughly equivalent to that of a four-hundred-year soul beast.

Therefore, both Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing had a range of roughly thirty meters in diameter. However, with his current strength, he could share his Spiritual Detection with at most three targets simultaneously. Any more would be beyond his capacity.

Neither of these soul skills consumed much Soul Power, but both required Huo Yuhao to expend a certain amount of spiritual power.

It could be said that he supported these two skills with both spiritual power and Soul Power. At his current cultivation level, maintaining them for at least a quarter of an hour would not be a problem.

He would need to wait until the battle between the two reached its conclusion before he could assess an appropriate exact figure.

After telling Lin Wan'er what he was thinking, Lin Wan'er relayed it to the two little ancestors who were locked in fierce combat.

Wanting to put on a good performance before their little brother, the two older sisters, Ling Luochen and Wei Na, put away their playful attitudes and engaged in a proper, fair duel between soul masters.
