A Soul Body Was Exactly What He Was Hitting!

The Aromatic Silk Beauty turned the large flower plate slightly towards Huo Yuhao, looking him up and down twice:

"You're here to find that That Book too? The rules are the same; you must first prove you're a descendant of the person who left the book, and then pass our test."

Within the Sea of Spirit, Yu Xiaogang immediately realized what was happening and urged urgently:

"Tang San! It must be talking about Tang San!"

"Yuhao, quickly use the Mysterious Jade Hands and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track! You are a member of the Tang Sect, and I personally recognized you as my last disciple. Are you afraid you can't prove your identity?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's spirits lifted, and he immediately began to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body.

A pair of originally fair Palm quickly transformed into a warm, jade-like color. Then, with a slight shift in their footsteps, leaving a trail of illusory afterimages, they stopped, cupped their hands, and said:

"Senior, you are wise. I am also a member of the Tang Sect."

Youyou noticed the jade color on his Palm, her petals trembled slightly, but she turned back to look at Gu Mingyuan beside her.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the jet-black Tang Sect Master Token hanging at his waist, clearly seeking confirmation.

One only had his hands that changed color, while the other was covered in golden patterns and carried the sect leader's token. Naturally, the one with the token carried more weight in his words.

Gu Mingyuan closed the Cold Jade Box in his hand, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and smiled:

I don't think so.

The expectation that had just appeared on Huo Yuhao's face froze instantly, and he stepped forward and said urgently:

"Gu Mingyuan, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"I was personally brought into the Tang Sect by Teacher Xiao Ya and Grandmaster. You clearly saw me with your own eyes back at Shrek!"

Youyou the two people's completely contradictory words, Youyou was a little confused. She simply gathered the large pink petals inward, covering the ancient book she was holding behind her completely once again.

"Wait a minute, your identities haven't been clarified yet..."

Before it finished speaking, a vast expanse of milky-white Spiritual Power suddenly surged out from between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows.

Using the Origin Source Spiritual Power provided by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Yu Xiaogang condensed a semi-transparent illusory Soul Body in the outside world, which floated beside Huo Yuhao.

"Why not? I think he is!"

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back, striking a pose of a grandmaster, and coldly shouted:

"Tang San is a disciple I personally taught. In terms of seniority, everyone in the Tang Sect must show me the respect due to a disciple!"

"Who gives you, a nobody of unknown origin, the right to spout nonsense here!"

The Youyou flower head suddenly rose a little higher, and the eyes within its stamens widened:

"Are you the teacher of that person from ten thousand years ago?"

Seeing that the ancient Immortal Herb had clearly reacted, Yu Xiaogang felt much more at ease. He straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and was about to bring up the theory of how he had guided Tang San on his Twin Martial Souls to intimidate the entire audience.

Beside him, a flash of cold air appeared in Gu Mingyuan's outstretched right palm, instantly condensing into a solid ice ball the size of a fist. He casually tossed it towards Yu Xiaogang's face.

The puck wasn't flying very fast; Yu Xiaogang could see it clearly and even laughed in disdain.

He is now in Pure Soul state, without a physical body; ordinary physical and elemental attacks will simply pass through his body.

"You threw this cheap junk at me?"

"Ignorant brat, do you think my Soul Body is that of a mortal like you—ah!!"

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The solid ice puck slammed into the center of Yu Xiaogang's forehead, instantly shattering into a cloud of ice shards.

Yu Xiaogang's arrogant words suddenly changed, and he let out a miserable scream as his entire Soul Body was smashed backward.

He didn't bother to pretend to be a master; he hurriedly raised his hands to cover his forehead, and the condensed soul light visibly bulged into a large bump between his fingers.

The excruciating pain in his soul made him see stars, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't even straighten his back.

"You! What kind of sorcery did you use? How could you touch Soul Body...?" Yu Xiaogang gasped, pointing at Gu Mingyuan in shock and anger.

Gu Mingyuan simply let the white mist rise again in his palm, condensing into another sharply shaped ice ball. He gently weighed it in his hand a couple of times, then looked at him and asked:

"Shall we continue?"

Yu Xiaogang stared at the ice ball, his neck instinctively shrinking back.

He immediately realized that he, a dignified Grandmaster, had been frightened into shrinking back by a teenager. His old face turned purple, but he dared not continue what he had just said.

Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to him, was also stunned by the sudden impact.

Realizing what was happening, he quickly stepped forward and stood between the two, spreading his arms to protect the teacher behind him.

"Gu Mingyuan, stop!"

"Teacher, his methods are strange! You must return to the Sea of Spirit!"

The Youyou, ethereal flower plate froze in mid-air, first glancing at the comical bulge of light on Yu Xiaogang's forehead, then turning to look at the ice ball Gu Mingyuan was holding, even forgetting to sway its petals.

Is this person's teacher?

Why does it look like it's not very bright? It can't even dodge a lump of ice?

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had shut up, Gu Mingyuan casually tossed the ice puck in his hand onto the open ground by the spring, then turned and reached out his hand to Youyou:

Where is my Aromatic Immortal Pill?

Youyou finally came to her senses. Her flower stamen trembled, and she slowly placed a purple cinnabar bead, the size of a longan and emitting a strange fragrance, into his palm. At the same time, she couldn't help but glance sideways at Yu Xiaogang and whispered a reminder to Gu Mingyuan:

"With this elixir, you've already taken five portions. According to the rules, you have two more chances to choose."

"We'll reserve the remaining two spots for now. We can take them later if we need them." Gu Mingyuan took out a small jade box, put the purple elixir inside, and sealed it.

Huo Yuhao stood a few steps away, watching Youyou protect the inheritance book behind the petals without revealing a single corner, and then looking at Gu Mingyuan who calmly put away the fifth immortal item. He could only bite his lip and temporarily suppress the urge to go forward and ask for the medicine.

Yu Xiaogang, standing behind him, refused to return to his Sea of Consciousness. He was covering his swollen forehead with one hand, staring intently at Gu Mingyuan's back with a sinister look.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the valley, in the Seven-Colored Poison Miasma.

Xuan Zi used his intact right hand to create an earth-yellow Soul Power shield, protecting Tang San to his side.

Yan Shaozhe led the way alone, unleashing blazing Phoenix Flame from his palms to forcefully burn through and repel the dense poisonous mist that rushed towards him. However, the poison array was extremely viscous.

As soon as the Radiant Phoenix Flame swept past, the surging, multicolored miasma on both sides immediately swirled back to fill the center, and the rotten soil beneath their feet began to bubble with a foul stench.

"This place is truly eerie." Yan Shaozhe glanced at the dense, brightly colored poisonous flowers on both sides of the path, his brow furrowed.

"The poisonous gas also has the property of corroding Soul Power. If we go any further in, even an ordinary Titled Douluo who is not on guard would probably suffer a lot."

No wonder no one has developed this place extensively all these years.
