Chapter 2: The Ice Silkworm of Heavenly Dreams (Part 1)

  Huo Yuhao was still young after all, and after a brief moment of shock and tension, his emotions mostly turned into excitement. After walking for so many days, the destination had finally arrived, and just thinking about the possibility of obtaining a soul ring and truly becoming a Soul Master made him feel hot-blooded. For this day to come, although he was only eleven years old, he had already been practicing hard for more than five years.

  In his excited state, Huo Yu Hao unconsciously quickened his pace, and his journey to the Starry Sky Great Forest became somewhat impatient.

  Moving forward, suddenly, a strange feeling appeared in his mind, Huo Yu Hao only felt that his eyes were slightly sore, and subconsciously urged his soul power to move into his spiritual eyes.

  A faint airflow swirled around his eyes, and Huo Yu Hao seemed to see a black shadow flash by on the left side of the road ahead.

  As an extremely rare spiritual variation of Wu Soul, Ling Zuan has a very strong pre-warning ability. The sense of crisis makes Huo Yu's reaction suddenly become sharp, and his body quickly falls to the left, while his right hand quickly draws out the White Tiger Dagger from behind his waist.

  A black figure flashed from where he was just now and pounced on the ground beside him, close at hand. He suddenly saw its appearance clearly.

  It was a gibbon about one meter tall, with brownish-yellow fur all over its body, brown eyes, extremely long arms, sharp claws on its hands, and canine teeth exposed at the mouth. Its eyes emitted a fierce glow. Missing the first strike, it let out a low growl towards Huo Yuhe, then kicked the ground with its powerful hind legs and pounced at him again.

  Although Huo Yu Hao's Spiritual Eyes had not yet added a Soul Ring, its basic function was still quite good. Under the injection of soul power, the pouncing monkey in his eyes moved much slower. Huo Yu Hao was originally knocked to the ground, quickly rolling to the left and jumping up, retreating several steps while holding the White Tiger Dagger in front of his chest.

  The sound of a tense heartbeat rang out clearly, and Huo Yu's breathing became noticeably rapid. This was the first time he had faced an enemy, no, a beast attack in his life. His palm grasping the White Tiger dagger was already filled with sweat, and he felt somewhat at a loss as to how to respond.

  The giant ape missed two consecutive hits, seemingly enraged, its upper body rose up, and with a loud roar, it suddenly opened its mouth wide towards He Yu's direction, and a white light burst out of its mouth, shooting straight at He Yu.

  At this time, even if Huo Yu Hao was inexperienced, he could see that he was facing a Soul Beast. This place was still some distance from the Starry Sky Great Forest, and he hadn't made any preparations. He was about to be hit by that white light sphere, and with his current cultivation level, once he was hit, it would likely be a disaster of epic proportions.

  At this time, Huo Yu's brain was a complete blank. The white light in his eyes seemed to be approaching slowly, but in fact it arrived in front of him in an instant.

  At the same time as spewing out white light, the gibbon itself also rapidly pounced towards Huo Yu Hao, its eyes revealing a fierce glow.

  White light had arrived in front of him, and Huo Yu Hao, who had lost his ability to think due to tension, subconsciously raised the White Tiger dagger in his right hand, which was hit directly by the white light.

  A strange scene appeared at this moment. At the same time that the white light collided with the White Tiger Blade, the gibbon had already pounced forward, its long arms outstretched, and its sharp-clawed palms grasped both of Huo Yuhao's shoulders simultaneously.

  The battle had come to this point, and it seemed that Huo Yu's fate was already sealed. Was he really going to perish under the claws of this soul beast?

  The ape grasped Ho Yu's shoulders and with a strong body, it spun around in the air, ready to slam Ho Yu down.

  At the same time, a white light flashed under it at the moment when Ho Yu Hao was thrown out by the gibbon. The gibbon's body seemed to stiffen for a moment, and Ho Yu Hao, who should have been smashed to the ground, was flung out instead. And the gibbon itself rolled on the ground for a while before lying still.

  "Bang——" Huo Yu's body crashed into the trunk of a nearby tree, and he felt his vision go black as intense pain took away his ability to breathe.

  At this time, Huo Yu Hao looked really pitiful. There were several long bloodstains on both shoulders and his upper garment was almost torn to shreds.

  However, he also woke up from the confusion in this intense pain. His eyes unconsciously looked at the motionless gibbon on the ground.

  A faint white glow appeared on the gibbon's body, and gradually, these white lights slowly condensed into a white light circle above its body. The light circle was not clear, and the glow was also faintly visible, but it still made Huo Yu Hao stare blankly.

  Soul Ring, is this a Soul Ring? Huo Yuhao's excited body was even trembling slightly, and the wounds on his body seemed to be less painful.

  Inside the duke's mansion, he had only learned the most basic meditation methods, but as for soul beasts and soul rings, he had heard too much about them. Almost every guard in the duke's mansion would often mention these things. And yet this was his first time seeing it with his own eyes.

  Is it already dead? Huo Yuhao thought blankly, only when a soul beast dies will it release its soul ring! But how did it die?

  The effect of Lingyuan's eyes appeared at this moment, and memories surged in his mind like a tide.

  The white light emitted by the ape collided with the White Tiger Blade at that instant, and the White Tiger Blade suddenly burst into a brilliant glow, absorbing all of the white light. This was also the most crucial moment in changing the entire course of battle.

  According to the gibbon's fighting instincts, the weak human He Yu Hao would definitely lose his combat strength after being hit by its signature soul technique and then be smashed to the ground, losing at least half of his life. But it never expected that its signature soul technique was subconsciously resolved by He Yu Hao's White Tiger Dagger. And when it grabbed He Yu Hao and flipped over to throw him out, He Yu Hao also acted under the influence of his physical instincts, swinging his arms up, and the White Tiger Dagger in his right hand naturally swung upwards.

  The length of the White Tiger Blade was originally not enough to reach the already airborne gibbon, but at that moment, a foot-long blade suddenly released from the White Tiger Blade and swept across the gibbon's body. It seemed to have transformed the white light it had absorbed earlier into sharpness. Although Huo Yu Hao's mind went blank at the time and he couldn't remember where exactly he cut, one thing was certain: that blade must have struck the gibbon.

  I actually won? Huo Yu Hao looked at that white soul ring, his excitement gradually disappearing.

  The importance of Soul Rings to a Soul Master is like the dependence of men on a certain cylindrical object. It's a necessity for a Soul Master's advancement. However, not all Soul Rings are suitable for a Soul Master to absorb. Only Soul Rings with high compatibility with one's own Martial Soul can be better absorbed.
