The previous Thunderous Dragon Claw was merely a lure to draw out the Mandala Snake. His second soul skill, Thunderous Tempest, was the real trap. As long as it was ensnared by the lightning net, the Thunderous Dragon Claw striking from behind would either heavily injure the Mandala Snake or at least give him the upper hand.
But how could a thousand-year soul beast be defeated so easily? Before the lightning net could close, a cloud of pink mist erupted from the Mandala Snake's mouth. A sweet fragrance spread in all directions, several times more concentrated than the previous fog.
With a worried expression, Tang Ya quickly pulled Huo Yuhao back to avoid the mist.
The moment the Thunderous Tempest came into contact with the poison mist, it was like sparks doused by a torrent of water, shattering in an instant.
Only now did the Mandala Snake reveal its ferocity. Mid-air, its entire body slammed violently into the Thunderous Tempest, tearing open a gap. At the same time, its tail whipped backward toward the Thunderous Dragon Claw, instantly shattering Bei Bei's first soul skill with a loud bang.
However, Bei Bei's chain of attacks was not in vain. His Martial Soul was one of the most powerful Beast Martial Souls, and his attack power far exceeded that of soul masters of the same rank. Although the Mandala Snake was fierce, after breaking through the two lightning soul skills, a thin layer of electricity remained wrapped around its body, temporarily preventing it from launching another attack.
Bei Bei did not press the attack. The spreading poison mist made him wary of approaching recklessly. He quickly retreated, a porcelain bottle appearing in his hand. He poured out a pill and threw the bottle to Tang Ya.
Tang Ya caught it, poured out two pills, swallowed one herself, and stuffed the other into Huo Yuhao's mouth.
"Bei Bei, let me help!"
Tang Ya spoke up the moment she swallowed the pill.
Bei Bei shook his head.
"This fellow is hard to deal with. I'm afraid this will be a long battle. There might be other soul beasts nearby, so stay alert. You also need to protect Xiao Huo."
This was the second time Bei Bei had reminded Tang Ya to protect Huo Yuhao. A wave of warmth welled up in Yuhao's heart. Aside from his mother, this was the first time anyone had ever treated him so well.
*I want to help Eldest Senior Brother too. I am not a useless waste.*
Huo Yuhao quickly circulated his soul power, and in an instant, his first soul skill manifested in his mind.
His originally blue eyes flickered with a faint golden light as a white Soul Ring emerged.
At first, there seemed to be nothing special about it, but in the next instant, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were deeply shaken, their faces filled with shock.
Under their gaze, time seemed to slow down. The surrounding scenery became incredibly clear, and countless pieces of information flooded their minds. As Bei Bei looked at the Mandala Snake, the exact distance between them was instantly mapped out in his mind, and he could clearly perceive even the minutest changes in the soul beast's body. Everything was vividly imprinted in his consciousness.
Not only that, but he didn't even need to look to perceive everything within a ten-meter radius. The entire landscape appeared in his mind, and his brain instantly detected even the slightest change.
This...
Bei Bei and Tang Ya immediately thought of Huo Yuhao. Was this Xiao Huo's first soul skill? How could it be so miraculous? With the support of such a soul skill, dealing with enemies became incredibly simple. Especially against a soul beast like the Mandala Snake, which excelled in speed, everything was now much easier to calculate. Bei Bei's attack power was already formidable, and with this support, it was truly like giving wings to a tiger.
Just a ten-year soul ring could yield such a formidable skill and outstanding support capability; it truly lived up to being a mutated spiritual attribute.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was unaware of how astonished Beibei and Tang Ya were by his mutated Martial Soul. In reality, he was using not just one, but two skills.
Million-year Soul Ring
First Soul Skill: Spiritual Detection.
Second Soul Skill: Spiritual Sharing.
Both of these skills were auxiliary types. It was also Huo Yuhao's first time using them, and though he had not yet fully grasped all their intricacies, their effects were already immense.
Given his current physical strength, the soul skills provided by the Skydream Ice Worm were equivalent in power to those of a four-hundred-year soul beast. Therefore, the range of both Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing was within a diameter of about thirty meters. However, with his current strength, supporting three people at once was his absolute limit.
Although these two soul skills did not consume much soul power, Huo Yuhao had to expend an additional amount of spiritual power. It could be said that he was currently utilizing both spiritual power and soul power in tandem to unleash these two skills. With his current cultivation, maintaining them for fifteen minutes would not be an issue, but he would have to test it to find out exactly how long his maximum limit was.
A low roar rumbled as Beibei's entire body became enveloped in deep blue lightning. Scales continuously spread from his right arm across his body, covering the right side of his chest. His aura surged instantly, and his purple third soul ring lit up.
Thousand-year Soul Ring: Third Soul Skill, Thunder's Wrath.
As a Beast Martial Soul with extremely powerful offensive capabilities, this third soul skill, Thunder's Wrath, instantly boosted Beibei's attack power by more than half, while his lightning attribute was multiplied. Although it was not a direct offensive skill, it elevated Beibei's state to an incredibly powerful realm. At this moment, even if he were to encounter a Soul Ancestor with a weak Martial Soul, he would still be able to emerge victorious.
Beibei was young, but his combat experience was incredibly rich. Now, with the added support of Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, he knew his opportunity had arrived. Unsure of how long Huo Yuhao could sustain them, he immediately unleashed his strongest ability.
His right hand transformed into a dragon claw, crackling with deep blue lightning as a Thunderous Dragon Claw twice its original size manifested. However, this time Beibei did not strike directly downward; instead, he swept it toward the back of the thousand-year Datura Snake's neck.
The Datura Snake was quite cunning, and its thousand-year cultivation gave it a certain degree of intelligence. Sensing danger from the aura emanating from Beibei, it chose not to continue the fight. Instead, it spat out a cloud of toxic mist, turned around, and fled.
"Hmph!"
Beibei snorted coldly, his eyes turning deep. A bolt of lightning erupted from his body, dispersing the poison mist, as his Thunderous Dragon Claw struck down.
