Sky Dream, Electrolux
"You're not coming with me again..." Tang Ya pouted, sullenly stepping on the damp, fresh soil. Her delicate light blue boots were stained with mud, but the girl didn't notice at all.
Hunting Soul Beast is a dangerous undertaking. Without a strong guide, she could easily end up like the Grandmaster who recklessly led Tang San into the forest ten thousand years ago, only to be utterly terrified and lose her life.
But Bei Bei's repeated excuses had completely worn her off.
This time, entering the forest also carried a sense of defiance.
She wanted to prove that she, Tang Ya, was no less capable than anyone else.
It's fine without Bei Bei!
(Dark version of Tang Ya)
As Tang Ya muttered to herself, sensing the eerie yet quiet atmosphere ahead, a desire to retreat gradually arose in her heart. Even though this was only the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, it wasn't a place anyone could venture into.
Someone like her, who is at level 30 and hasn't even broken through to the Soul Elder, would be in Life danger even encountering a Soul Beast that's several hundred years old, let alone one that's a thousand years old...
"Should we go back?" Tang Ya hesitated for a moment, but gritted her teeth and continued walking forward.
He wanted to become the leader of the Tang Sect and avenge his sect.
How could we possibly fail because of acquiring Soul Ring?
"Huh..." Tang Ya suddenly sniffed the air, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise. "This smells so good... Is this grilled fish?!"
"Let's go take a look."
"Call..."
On the other side, Lu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"As expected, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse doesn't need to form bonds; one is enough..."
Seeing Tang Ya utter that classic line, making Xiao Huo's face turn red, he belatedly realized something was wrong, stuck out his tongue, and changed the subject. "Want to join the Tang Sect? I'll help you hunt for your first Soul Ring!"
"And there are also limited-time free admission slots for the Tang Sect disciples at the Shrek Academy!"
"Sorry, thank you..." Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of wariness. He nodded slightly and left.
"Sigh, am I too stupid? But it seems my IQ is stuck at the point where I only realize I've said something wrong after I've already said it," Tang Ya said dejectedly, looking utterly dejected.
She gently bit her red lips and exhaled a breath of stale air.
A forced smile appeared on her delicate, pretty face.
"Is this Soul Ring...?" The thin boy spat out a mouthful of blood, leaning against a tree, his eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and complex as he examined the Soul Ring before him.
White is also the lowest rank of Soul Ring in the Soul Master World.
If he absorbs this Soul Ring, he will most likely have a hard time avenging his mother's death. But if he doesn't absorb it... then forget about revenge, it's hard to say whether he can even survive.
"So... absorb it." Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, and following the instructions in the book he had seen earlier, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to draw upon the white Soul Ring.
But in the next instant, the entire world seemed to tremble.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the boy's terrified gaze fell upon a massive crack in the ground ahead, from which emerged a colossal, snow-white, crystalline silkworm, stretching for an unknown distance, looking down upon Huo Yuhao.
"Hahaha, thank God, Tian Meng is blessed! We can actually find a human with Mental Attribute at this time..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at the thin boy with great joy.
"Not bad, not bad."
"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao asked cautiously, shrinking into a ball.
He realized that the other party did not seem to have any malicious intent.
"I am a million-year-old Soul Beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Do you dream of becoming a god? Let me help you achieve godhood, hehehe." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sized up the boy and spoke.
"I do!" The boy's eyes were filled with excitement.
After hardship comes happiness.
Whether it is true or not, as long as it can avenge my mother, what's wrong with taking a gamble?
Anyway, all he has left is this worthless life.
"Alright, bear with it, I'm a bit big..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pressed its forehead against Huo Yuhao's, about to offer itself, but a hint of frustration suddenly appeared in its large pupils. "How can your talent be so poor... I'm afraid you won't even be able to reach the Soul Emperor in the future."
Suddenly, its gaze abruptly stopped.
He suddenly looked to the other side.
"I'm sorry, child, you're just too weak..."
The enormous figure suddenly burrowed back into the ground and roared off towards the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes in a daze.
That's all?
That's it?!
He shook his head helplessly. He was really unlucky. He hadn't even seized such a great opportunity. Since that was the case, he would turn around and absorb the Wind Baboon's Soul Ring.
As he turned his head, the white Soul Ring beside the Wind Baboon's corpse had already disappeared. He remembered that when the giant insect left, the wind and waves it created had blown away the Ten-Year Soul Ring.
Huo Yuhao: "..."
I wanted to cry but couldn't.
"Hehehe, let Brother Sky Dream enter your body." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled, looking down at Lu Cheng from above, its head touching his forehead, and then it transformed into a white light and surged into his body.
It wasn't until the complete fusion that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was truly astonished.
"Such monstrous talent, such freakish physical strength."
"And... Second Awakening of a mental-type Martial Soul."
"This is truly a blessing from heaven for Tian Meng!"
Overjoyed, Tian Meng didn't forget to take away the silkworm's tail. As its aura disappeared, several powerful auras suddenly rose from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, as if they were patrolling the entire forest and then began to roar in frustration after finding nothing.
The sound was incredibly soothing to Tian Meng.
"Let those beasts exploit me every single day."
Before it could swim freely in the vast Sea of Consciousness for long, a sudden clap of thunder shook the heavens and earth. A gray shadow, attracted by the sound of its sacrifice to Lu Cheng, drifted into the Sea of Consciousness along with it.
Electrolux!
Lu Cheng smiled.
Seeing that the displeased Tian Meng kept attacking the gray mist, but the latter remained unmoved, she was completely certain that it was the only hexagonal warrior in the entire series, the Electrolux, Calamity of the Undead. After all, even if the latter was only a trace of consciousness, it was still at the god level. No matter how strong Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Spiritual Power was, it could not disturb it in the slightest.
The difference between mortals and gods is still quite significant.
"Damn it! This is the place I just found to live!" Tian Meng roared in impotence, then sullenly retreated back into the Sea of Consciousness.
"Hmph, let me recover for a while before we talk about it."
"Oh, Xiao Cheng, I ran into a little guy earlier..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said apologetically, "I left in such a hurry that I think I extinguished the Ten-Year Soul Ring he worked so hard to obtain. If possible, could you help me get him a suitable Soul Ring? I'd really appreciate it."
"Okay," Lu Cheng said with a smile.
P. S.: I won't torture Huo Gua, nor will I make him a babysitter. I'll treat him as a peripheral character, give him a suitable Soul Ring after he gets his chance, and then let him avenge his mother and fulfill his dream.
