"Bei Bei, that's amazing!"
Seeing Bei Bei defeat the Mandala Snake in a single move, Tang Ya could not help but feel happy for him, yet seeing the usually composed Bei Bei look at Huo Yuhao with such joyful gratitude left her stunned.
Having spent a long time with Bei Bei, how could she not know his strength? The technique Huo Yuhao had just shared with him had boosted Bei Bei's attacking power by at least twenty or thirty percent.
Tang Ya's mind fell into turmoil, and she took half a step back.
A terrifying and strange thought rose within her heart.
She might lose Bei Bei.
Could her own Tang Sect Secret Arts bring him such a massive boost? Would Bei Bei continue to accompany her in reviving the Tang Sect in the future?
Tang Ya remained silent, biting her lower lip as she walked silently toward the half-dead Mandala Snake, where a flash of a flying dagger completely ended the snake's life.
A ring of purple soul ring slowly rose.
Tang Ya silently reached out toward the Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Just as she was about to touch the soul ring, Bei Bei pulled her back.
Bei Bei asked, "Xiao Ya, what are you doing?"
Tang Ya answered calmly, "Fusing with the soul ring."
Bei Bei shook his head, stopping her. "No, this soul ring is of too high an age. It's a bit beyond your limit."
"Let me try," Tang Ya insisted. "I've already thought about it. As the master of the Tang Sect, I must work hard to become stronger!"
"Besides, I can take pills to raise my tolerance limit. This two-thousand-year-old Mandala Snake is very suitable for me."
Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei, her eyes filled with firmness.
"This... alright then."
After hesitating time and again, Bei Bei finally agreed.
Tang Ya sat cross-legged on the ground as the purple soul ring slowly melted into her body, and a few blue vines quietly stretched out.
Her eyes were tightly closed, and sweat constantly seeped from her face.
While Tang Ya absorbed the soul ring over there, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei began to chat.
"Want a grilled fish?" Huo Yuhao had a grilled fish clamped in his mouth and handed another stick to Bei Bei.
"Thanks, Little Brother Huo."
Fighting side by side seemed to be the best way to draw soul masters closer together, especially young soul masters.
"Blue Silver Grass?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow when he saw Tang Ya's martial soul.
Weeds could be found everywhere on the Douluo Continent, a thoroughly common existence among commoners, and out of a hundred soul masters, there were hardly even a few with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
"Yeah," Bei Bei nodded. "Just like the founding ancestor of our Tang Sect. Ten thousand years ago, it was precisely with this Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul that he forged the glory of the Tang Sect. Ever since he ascended, the Tang Sect has stubbornly cultivated soul masters with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and even honors it in the selection of the sect master."
Your Tang Sect is not only arrogant, but foolish! Who on the continent doesn't know how weak Blue Silver Grass is? No matter how you cultivate it, you can't make anything out of it.
Huo Yuhao muttered inwardly while saying aloud:
"As far as I know, your first-generation sect master also had a second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, right? That's a top-tier martial soul of the exact same quality as the Blue Silver Grass... oh wait, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. How could you believe he carved out a world relying on Blue Silver Grass?"
Bei Bei sighed. "Little Brother Huo, everything you said is correct. The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is indeed not very powerful, but Xiao Ya already possesses considerable talent. I believe she will surely break through her own limits."
He seemed not to want to continue discussing this aspect, as all the problems of the Tang Sect had been pointed out with piercing accuracy by Huo Yuhao without leaving any face.
Thus, he changed the subject. "Little Brother Huo, I see your soul power level isn't very high. It doesn't seem to have reached the enrollment standards of Shrek Academy."
"Mm, level eleven," Huo Yuhao nodded.
Yet his strength was by no means this weak; he still wanted to slowly understand the changes in himself after merging with Tian Meng.
Bei Bei said, "Then once you enter the academy in the future, you must be careful. The assessment pressure in the academy is immense, and insufficient strength makes it very easy to get expelled."
Huo Yuhao did not mind at all. "Expelled then expelled. Once I'm expelled, I'll go to Shrek City to open a barbecue stall and muddle through the days."
Hearing him say this, Tian Meng grew unhappy. "Ah? Yuhao, how can you be like this? Didn't you promise to help me achieve Godhood?"
"Shut up!"
Bei Bei asked again, "That's right, Little Brother Huo, what on earth is your first soul skill? Just now, I felt the surrounding field of vision instantly become crystal clear. That was probably your first soul skill, right?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Mm, it is indeed my first soul skill. I call it Brother Hao's Radar."
"Huh?" Bei Bei was completely baffled.
What on earth was this radar thing?
"Oh, I forgot you probably wouldn't understand," Huo Yuhao corrected himself. "You could also call this move Advanced Wallhack Stable Without Cheats."
"Huh?" Bei Bei still had no clue.
What kind of nonsense was this advanced wallhack?
Huo Yuhao curled his lips.
Talking to this bunch of natives really was like playing the lute to a cow; they didn't understand a single thing.
"Oh, this is common slang from our Star Luo Empire. You can just call this move Spiritual Detection Sharing."
Only then did Bei Bei finally understand, and his heart was filled with incomparable shock.
"What a terrifying effect. Under the assistance of this Spiritual Detection Sharing of yours, I feel like all the opponent's movements and the surrounding environment can be observed with absolute clarity."
"To think it's just a ten-year soul ring and it unexpectedly has such a terrifying soul skill. Are the mental attribute and Body Martial Soul truly this terrifying?"
"Little Brother Huo, how many people can you share this with at once? What is the detection range? How long can it last?" he asked eagerly.
Huo Yuhao estimated, "As my spiritual power grows, all these numbers will continuously increase. Currently, it's roughly within a radius of a hundred meters, and if I detect in a single direction, it's about two hundred meters or so. As for the duration, it's still uncertain, because I feel the consumption is negligible."
"To think it can even grow!" Bei Bei could not help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
If Huo Yuhao grew to a certain degree in the future, what a terrifying combination it would be to have him provide support within a team!
Tian Meng told Huo Yuhao that this Million-Year Soul Ring was in a sealed state and would continuously lift the seal as his tolerance increased, raising its effects.
Judging by Huo Yuhao's current physical condition, the age of this soul ring was roughly around one thousand two hundred years.
Using Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing consumed soul power and spiritual power. After fusing with Tian Meng, his spiritual power ushered in a very obvious boost, while his soul power was exceptionally solid, making continuous release of his first soul skill seem like no issue at all.
If soul power was likened to experience points, others might only need one hundred experience points to level up, whereas he needed four or five hundred.
That chill inside his body absorbed the soul power he had cultivated with such difficulty like a bottomless pit.
Right.
Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of something.
After fusing with Tian Meng, his second martial soul, Ice, also seemed to have undergone a trace of change.
"That's a matter of course. You're the one destined to be a perfect match for me after all," Tian Meng's voice rang out.
"Your Ice Martial Soul is very special. It's both like an unshaped ice without a soul that can combine with my attribute, and like a dark, tyrannical ice that continuously absorbs energy from other ice attributes."
Tian Meng stood within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, surveying this ice plain.
The endless ice plain resembled a black hole, constantly devouring the soul power she had deposited inside Huo Yuhao's body.
She could sense her own power truly merging into one with Huo Yuhao at an imperceptibly slow rate.
Yet that power had not vanished; it no longer belonged solely to her, but instead shared ownership between the two of them in a bizarre fashion.
Tian Meng could not help but be filled with confidence toward the future.
The moment Huo Yuhao digested all of her power, he would definitely attain Godhood!
"Godhood, Godhood, Godhood..."
Tian Meng rolled around on the ice plain, repeating those two words.
Huo Yuhao, however, sighed softly.
How could attaining Godhood be as easy as people said? The last person to attain Godhood did so ten thousand years ago.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao froze abruptly, as though he had figured something out, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
A bold guess emerged.
So that was how it was. Everything made sense now.
Who was the last person to attain Godhood? It was Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect... what kind of connection did this sect with the same name and secret arts as his previous life actually have?
"There's no mistake."
Tian Meng asked in puzzlement, "What's no mistake?"
"That Tang San must also be a transmigrator! Since he could attain Godhood, I will definitely lead you to attain Godhood as well!"
