It was indeed a white spirit ring.
A trace of confusion flashed in Bei Bei's eyes.
He felt that Huo Yuhao's white spirit ring appeared more crystalline and translucent, slightly different from an ordinary ten-year spirit ring.
After noting the spirit ring, Bei Bei's attention was drawn to the change in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze, his expression shifted slightly.
He had sensed a faint spiritual fluctuation the moment Huo Yuhao released his martial soul. Now, looking directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes, he could clearly feel that spiritual fluctuation.
"A spiritual attribute? Yuhao, your martial soul is spiritually attributed?" Bei Bei asked urgently.
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Yes, my martial soul is the Spirit Eyes, which are my very eyes."
"A Body Sect martial soul? Excellent!" Tang Ya, who was standing to the side, brightened up, clapping her hands as if cheering.
"Yuhao, it's a pity we arrived late, causing you to absorb a ten-year Wind Baboon spirit ring. Otherwise, you should have had better spirit beast options," Bei Bei said.
"Sister Xiao Ya, I've already absorbed the spirit ring; there's no changing it. Moreover, I'm very satisfied with the spirit skill from this ring," Huo Yuhao replied.
Tang Ya asked, "By the way, now that you've obtained your spirit ring, what do you plan to do next?"
"Ah?"
Huo Yuhao looked utterly bewildered.
He didn't know what he should do.
He definitely wanted revenge, and to achieve that, he needed to find a place to cultivate.
But where should he go to cultivate?
He instinctively glanced back at Su Ming.
If he remembered correctly, Su Ming had seemingly invited him to join a sect. But back then, his sole focus was on obtaining his first spirit ring; he hadn't considered anything beyond that.
And now?
Seeing Huo Yuhao look back at Su Ming, Tang Ya's heart sank, and she hurriedly spoke up.
"Yuhao, what's your relationship with Su Ming?"
"I met Brother Su Ming on my way to the Star Dou Great Forest. He offered to help me hunt a spirit ring, and he was the one who killed that Wind Baboon for me."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tang Ya let out a soft sigh of relief.
Good, good, it was just a chance encounter.
"He helped you hunt a spirit ring, and then just killed a ten-year Wind Baboon for you?"
Su Ming curled his lip slightly, not bothering to argue with this woman.
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, unsure how to respond.
In reality, he had obtained a million-year first spirit ring, and Su Ming killing this Wind Baboon wasn't with the intention of letting him absorb its ring.
But he couldn't tell Tang Ya any of this.
"Then, Yuhao, do you have any other family?"
"No, I'm an orphan," Huo Yuhao said, his eyes dimming.
"Perfect!" Tang Ya exclaimed with delight.
At that moment, Su Ming spoke coolly.
"If you have nothing else, you can go attend to your own business. I'm taking Yuhao back to my sect."
Bei Bei had initially thought Tang Ya's recruitment of Huo Yuhao was about to succeed. But hearing Su Ming's words, his heart jolted, and a foreboding猜想 (conjecture) arose.
"Your sect is?"
"Body Sect."
A playful smile appeared on Su Ming's lips as he looked at Bei Bei, then at Tang Ya.
"Are you trying to poach someone from my Body Sect?"
Being stared at by Su Ming like this, Bei Bei felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Body Sect!
That was a group of madmen.
He began to have second thoughts, preparing to give up on recruiting Huo Yuhao.
But while he was considering abandoning the idea, Tang Ya would have none of it.
She stepped forward, planting her hands on her hips. "So what? Is your Body Sect trying to poach someone from our Shrek Academy?"
Shrek Academy?
Hearing this name, Huo Yuhao's eyes immediately lit up.
Noticing Huo Yuhao's expression, Tang Ya felt pleased and gained more confidence.
She had already deduced that Huo Yuhao was unaware of many things, even speculating that he might not know much about the Body Sect either.
She raised her head proudly. "Not just Shrek Academy, but also the Tang Sect!"
When she mentioned the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao's heart instantly began to pound violently, as if some switch had been flipped.
Tang Ya noticed this and thought to herself that success was assured today.
"A Body Sect martial soul belongs in our Body Sect. Your Shrek Academy is overstepping. As for the Tang Sect? A sect that's already extinct—are you bringing it up just to provoke our Body Sect?" Su Ming said with a cold laugh.
"Hmph! The spirit master world respects strength above all. Bei Bei, go!"
Tang Ya commanded Bei Bei to use force to subdue.
"Wait, Sister Xiao Ya, Brother Bei, Brother Su, please don't fight."
Huo Yuhao immediately tried to dissuade them but was pulled aside by Tang Ya.
"Yuhao, watch closely and see the difference between Shrek Academy and the Body Sect."
Tang Ya was brimming with confidence at this moment.
The prestige of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect held greater appeal for Huo Yuhao. Furthermore, Su Ming on the opposing side was so young; no matter how talented he was, he couldn't possibly defeat Bei Bei.
After all, the weakest phase for Body Sect martial souls is the early stages.
Seeing Bei Bei assume a combat stance, Su Ming was so angered he couldn't help but laugh.
He glanced at Tang Ya, who had retreated behind Bei Bei, and his gaze turned cold.
From the beginning to the end, the only person Su Ming was wary of was Tang San, because Tang San himself often broke the rules. If thwarting his plans provoked his fury, he might even descend personally .
Especially since divine power had just emanated from Huo Yuhao, making Su Ming even more cautious. This was a situation not present in his understanding of the original story; he hadn't known Tang San had actually buried divine power within Huo Yuhao.
But wariness was one thing; it didn't mean Su Ming was made of clay.
Su Ming was angry.
Simultaneously, a series of plans began to form in his mind.
His spirit power surged, emanating from his body.
The spirit power vortex at his dantian accelerated its rotation. The heaven and earth's vital energy gathered, combining with his spirit power and rapidly materializing into substantial masses of energy.
Bei Bei's eyes involuntarily widened, his pupils contracting.
"Martial Soul, Possess Body!"
Blue-purple electricity crackled around his body. Simultaneously, his right arm became covered in large purple dragon scales, countless electric currents swirling around him. Two yellow and one purple spirit rings settled around his right arm.
Bei Bei's gaze was grave, fixed intently on Su Ming's feet.
Su Ming advanced slowly. With each step he took, spirit rings surfaced beneath his feet one after another.
Yellow.
Purple!
"Strength is respected?" Su Ming spoke. As he did, the materialized spirit power outside his body transformed into six types of elements, forming a vortex that enveloped him.
The elemental spirit power vortex resonated with the nascent spirit core in his dantian, causing the power of heaven and earth to converge madly.
Finally, the elemental spirit power vortex stabilized.
A mass of six-colored light appeared on Su Ming's chest. After merging with this elemental vortex into one, it slowly settled back onto Su Ming's chest.
The power of the elemental vortex split into six streams of intertwined elemental energy, flowing from his chest back into his entire body.
As the elemental vortex split, the heaven and earth vital energy rapidly integrated into it, replenishing its consumption.
Whoosh!
An elemental light sphere compressed to its extreme exploded beneath Su Ming's feet. Within it, various elements transformed into one another, ultimately giving birth to countless streams of wind element, instantly propelling his speed to an extreme.
Mid-air, Su Ming spun, thrusting out his right elbow, concentrating all his strength into that elbow joint.
Bei Bei's eyes turned light purple, his expression shifting slightly.
He only barely managed to catch Su Ming's figure. The sole purple spirit ring on his right arm shone brightly.
"Third Spirit Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
The lightning energy on his body surged violently. His entire right arm swelled up a full size as he collided head-on with Su Ming.
The next instant, a figure wreathed in crackling electricity was sent flying backward.
Tang Ya's shocked cry followed immediately after.
"Bei Bei!"
