Chapter 5: A Glimpse of the Entrance (1)

  Due to their innate strength and toxicity, the Mandra Snake has few natural enemies. Before reaching a thousand years of cultivation, their bodies are dark green in color, growing one meter every hundred years, until they reach nearly ten meters in length when approaching a thousand years of cultivation. Once they break through a thousand years, their own power will condense, shedding their skin continuously. Not only does the body color change from dark green to pink, but the length also shrinks back to one meter, then grows again by one meter every hundred years. After two thousand years of cultivation, when it retracts again, the pink color deepens. Looking at this Mandra Snake's color and length just now, it should have over 1,300 years of cultivation. If not for your help, I'm afraid I would have to pay a price to kill it.

  Of course, what Beibei didn't say was that if Huo Yu Hao wasn't there, it wouldn't be too difficult for him and Tang Ya to work together to kill the Manchurian viper either, otherwise they wouldn't have entered the Starry Sky Forest in the first place.

  Listening to BeiBei's narration, Huo YuHao gained more knowledge. "So the Mandrake snake is that amazing. If its cultivation reaches 10,000 years, will it undergo another transformation?"

  Babe nodded and said, "A thousand-year-old Manchurian snake will turn yellow, that's truly a terrifying existence. Even a fifty-level Soul King strongman wouldn't dare to provoke a thousand-year-old Manchurian snake easily, at least a sixty-level Soul Emperor would be needed to win steadily."

  "Little brother, while Xiaoya is absorbing the soul ring, tell me about your soul skill. What's the name of the soul skill you used just now, and how long can you sustain it? This is very important."

  Huo Yu Hao had previously received a reminder from Tian Meng Bing Xian, so he knew not to reveal the matter. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Big Brother Master, the skill I just used is called Spiritual Detection Sharing. You also felt its range, and it can currently take effect within a diameter of about 30 meters. When my soul power increases in the future, this range should be able to increase as well. I don't know how long I can sustain it, but intuitively, this skill doesn't seem to consume much soul power."

  "Impossible." Beibei stared at him in shock, "A skill with such a huge effect and yet the soul power consumption isn't that great? Your Spirit Eyes seem to be too powerful as well. And your Soul Ring is still obtained from the Ten Year Soul Beast, Windy Wolf. This really makes me hard to understand. The Douluo Continent's Soul Masters have been researching Spirit for over ten thousand years, but in all the books I've read, there has never been a record of someone like you appearing. It's truly unimaginable."

  He Yu Hao lowered his head and said, "I don't know what's going on either."

  Bai Bai thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Little Shidi, you don't have to think too much about it. Having a strong soul skill is always a good thing. With this soul skill as the foundation, any future soul master will probably be willing to cooperate with you. However, Little Shidi, you are a spiritual attribute soul master. Are you planning to take the auxiliary type soul master route or the control type battle soul master route in the future?"

  Huo Yu Hao was taken aback, "I don't know either."

  "Choosing the right path for your cultivation is crucial, as it affects your future choices of soul ring skills and your inclination towards certain abilities. Although you've only just obtained your first soul ring, your spiritual attribute has already shown great potential. If it's just used for assistance, I think that would be a waste. While I don't know what other spiritual attribute skills you'll acquire in the future, I'm more inclined to have you become a control-type soul master. Focus on spiritual control and if everything goes smoothly, who knows, maybe one day you'll become the core of a team."

  "Team? Does a Soul Master necessarily need a team?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. From young to old, his cultivation had always relied on himself, everything was his own exploration, and no one had ever taught him anything. Now that he had joined the Tang Sect, this senior brother in front of him was even more important than a teacher to him, and yet in less than half a day's work, he had already taught him many things.

  "We soul masters have developed this profession for so many years, and the team model was fully formed under the leadership of our Tangmen founder's legendary great power thousands of years ago. At that time, he and his companions were known as the Shrek Seven Devils, each with their own powerful abilities, and when combined, they could burst out with geometrically increasing combat power. Since then, coordination between soul masters has become an essential part of our development. After all, individual strength is always insignificant. For example, your and my coordination earlier made it much easier for me in battle. Xiaoyu and I also have some coordinated moves. Relatively speaking, a soul master team usually doesn't exceed ten people. Among them are defensive war soul masters, attacking strong attack system war soul masters, and controlling command and control system war soul masters. These three play the largest role in the team. There are also auxiliary equipment soul masters, auxiliary food system soul masters, agile attack system soul masters, etc., each with different roles in the team."

  Huo Yu Hao suddenly said: "So, Big Brother Master, you're a strong offense type Battle Soul Master?"

  Bibi smiled and nodded, saying: "My martial soul is the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, which is considered to be one of the stronger ones among beast-type martial souls. It excels at strong offense. As for Xiaoyu's martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass, it allows her to become a control-type battle soul master just like that legendary great ancestor from Tangmen. However, her control abilities mainly manifest through the Blue Silver Grass. If you can also become a control-type battle soul master, then with your spiritual control abilities combined with Xiaoyu's Blue Silver Grass, under dual control, you wouldn't even need an auxiliary-type equipment soul master to lead a powerful team of soul masters."

  Huò Yǔhào nodded seriously, "Big Brother Master, I'll listen to you. Then I'll work hard towards becoming a Control System War Soul Master. However, my talent isn't very good, and my cultivation is very slow..." He couldn't help but lower his head at this point. Compared to either Bèibèi or Tángyǎ, he was already eleven years old yet had only just obtained the first ring, which meant his talent was quite poor.

  Babe gently patted Ho Yu Hao's head, smiling: "Talent is only part of success. In the past, no one should have guided you in your cultivation, and without a suitable technique, it's already not easy for you to reach this point through your own efforts. Moreover, your martial soul itself is quite good, and its future development potential is also very great. So, you don't need to be self-deprecating, with this time, why not focus on cultivating more? As long as you can break through to level 30 or above before the age of 20, then there's hope for you to become a powerful soul master. Whether it's me or Xiaoya, we'll both try our best to help you."

  "Thank you, Big Brother." Ho Yuhao's face was filled with emotion.

  Babe gently patted his shoulder, "It's probably also my and Xiaoya's good luck to have met you, solving her promotion problem so quickly. After she finishes absorbing the soul ring, we can return to the academy. This place isn't suitable for cultivation, you can first recall the method of cultivating Xuantian Gong that I told you about, and start cultivating once we reach a safe place."

  "Yes." Huo Yu Hao respectfully replied, in his heart, he actually regarded Beibei as a teacher, even more so than Tang Ya.
