Chapter 5: A Glimpse of the Entrance (2)

  "Ah, right, little brother. Didn't you say you weren't clear about how long your skills could last? Why don't we try experimenting once. This relates to our coordination in future battles and can also help you better understand your abilities and get familiar with the new skills you've obtained."

  At Beibei's mention, Huo Yu Hao once again released his Spiritual Detection Sharing. A faint golden light flickered at the bottom of his eyes, and a three-dimensional image within a thirty-meter radius reappeared in both his and Beibei's minds.

  Spiritual detection is all-pervasive, and even some subtle changes can be clearly distinguished. Huo Yu Hao was experiencing the subtleties of his two skills, and Beibei also felt the benefits of this spiritual amplification on himself.

  The more he sensed, the more astonished Beibei was. This spiritual probe sharing wasn't just an auxiliary probe, but rather it seemed to give him another brain that could make judgments. Within a range of thirty meters in diameter, you could say that everything was clearly visible, with no blind spots at all. With this skill, it was as if he had countless eyes observing from every angle with the utmost care!

  What surprised him even more was yet to come, as he displayed his soul technique. Huo Yuhao seemed very relaxed, without any signs of exhaustion. In the spiritual detection they shared, they could even feel some changes in Tang Ya's body when she merged with her soul ring.

  Tang Ya's figure seemed to have become even more slender, her breath was also becoming stronger at an astonishing speed, her skin had a healthier glow, and her vitality was even more abundant.

  In the blink of an eye, a moment had passed, and Huo Yu Hao's face was only slightly pale.

  Babei couldn't help but secretly admire him, having such a long-range spiritual probe was already sufficient for use in battle. Moreover, Xiaoyu Hao's spiritual probing ability wasn't just limited to being used in combat, it also had many other uses, such as on the road of adventure, or when searching for Soul Beasts, it was an incredibly practical ability! If he could really increase his probing range with his cultivation like he said, then that would truly be a divine technique.

  Finally, after nearly half an hour of continuously exerting his skills, Huo Yu Hao couldn't hold on any longer. His body swayed and he ended the spiritual probe sharing. He only felt a strong stinging pain in his brain, and a severe dizziness that almost made him fall over directly. Hurriedly, he sat cross-legged, starting to meditate, recovering the consumed soul force and mental energy.

  This was also Huo Yu Hao's first time experiencing the pain of mental exhaustion, that kind of brain-numbing feeling was not comfortable at all.

  Babe had been quietly observing him, and when Babe saw Huo Yu Hao not falling down after exhaustion, but instead sitting cross-legged in meditation with difficulty, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded silently. Compared to talent, he valued temperament more. Undoubtedly, this little junior brother had already passed the test in his heart.

  The thousand-year soul ring's absorption required a considerable amount of time, so Beibei scattered some soul-beast-repelling medicine around the perimeter that she had brought with her. Their luck was still pretty good. During Tang Ya's cultivation process, only a few soul beasts appeared at the decade and century levels, all of which were chased away by Beibei. They didn't encounter any thousand-year-level entities again, so it was a relief without incident.

  "Hmm..." She let out a long sigh, and Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes sparkled with energy, and her entire being had a significant boost in vitality.

  In the cultivation process of Soul Masters, level 30 is an important threshold. Those who can cross this barrier and enter the realm of Soul Honors are truly powerful Soul Masters with unlimited potential in the future. Many Soul Masters with poor innate talent cannot break through the bottleneck at level 30 no matter how hard they try throughout their lives.

  "It's done." Tāng Yǎ excitedly jumped up from the ground, and with the urging of her soul power, three soul rings - two yellow and one purple - rapidly rose up from her feet. The most eye-catching was naturally the thousand-year-level purple soul ring, emitting a noble aura in bright purple. From this moment on, Tāng Yǎ's strength had completely entered another level.

  "Xiao Ya, congratulations," Bei Bei said with a smile.

  Tang Ya exclaimed and suddenly threw herself into his arms, giving him a big hug. "Bei Bei, thank you."

  Baobei hugged her slender body, and the smile on her face added a few more doting points. "I promised to help you achieve your dreams, and I will definitely do it."

  Tang Ya leaned against Bei Bei's chest, but inadvertently saw a pair of big eyes staring at her in surprise. Suddenly remembering that there was someone else here, she quickly broke free from Bei Bei's arms and said to He Yu Hao with some embarrassment: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a teacher-student romance before?"

  Huo Yu Hao said honestly, "I've never seen it before!" As he watched Bei Bei and Tang Ya hugging each other, he suddenly felt a strange sense of envy in his heart, but not a hint of jealousy. Eldest Senior Brother and Little Ya Teacher were indeed very well-matched.

  "Alright, since you've fully absorbed the soul ring, let's hurry up and leave this place. In recent years, there have been more and more cases of Soul Masters encountering trouble in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even in the outer areas, there are thousand-year-old soul beasts present, so it's better to leave early."

  Tang Ya nodded and said, "Let's go."

  At this time, the sky had already darkened, but camping in the Starry Forest was clearly not a good idea. The three of them didn't care about their fatigue and quickly headed towards the outskirts of the Starry Forest.

  Huo Yu Hao, who had recovered his energy, once again initiated the spiritual probe sharing, giving them an extra layer of security as they left the Starry Sky Great Forest, and even avoided a thousand-year-old soul beast that wasn't very aggressive.

  An hour later, after a rapid journey, they finally returned to the small stream where they had eaten roasted fish, which was already dozens of miles away from the Starry Forest, and danger was basically far away.

  Huo Yuhao was once again dragged into the army by Tang Ya's strong request to become a chef for roasting fish, but this time he didn't have to catch the fish himself.

  Babe simply inserted his right hand into the creek water, and a blue-purple electric light flashed by, and there were more than a dozen stunned green fish that floated up, which he then used the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon method to directly suck and pull to the creek bank. They immediately had food.

  Tang Ya also took out some food carried by the soul guide instrument. The three of them sat together and had a sumptuous dinner.

  Tang Yaxing was extremely excited, and as a result, he ate a bit more. After eating his fill, he leaned against the big tree beside the bonfire and fell asleep. However, Huo Yu Hao, who had gained even more, did not fall asleep just yet. Enduring the double fatigue of body and spirit, he asked Beibei to guide him in starting his first Xuan Tian Gong cultivation.

  For Huo Yu Hao's diligence, BeiBei was very appreciative. After taking off her own outer garment to cover Tang Ya with it, she once again explained some key points of Xuan Tian Gong cultivation to Huo Yu Hao and helped him start his meditation.

  The Xuantian Cultivation Method's running route during cultivation is much more complicated than the original Huo Yuhao's foundation meditation method, involving at least ten times more meridians. Many of these meridians are ones that even Huo Yuhao had never run soul power through before.

  To ensure He Yu's safety, BeiBei sat cross-legged behind him, her hands pressed against his back, slowly channeling her own soul power into He Yu's body, guiding his soul power through its first circulation.
