"You can consider me as a Control System Battle Soul Master, or as a Strong Attack System one. As for the strength of my combat power, there's no need to worry at all." As Su Yu spoke, he was also demonstrating.
The Soul Power circulated within his body, and the Blue Silver Grass in his hand grew wildly.
"Blue Silver Bursting Spear!"
The Blue Silver Grass intertwined and wrapped around, forming a spear-tip shape at the front, thrusting fiercely.
Beibei could distinctly feel that as Su Yu unleashed this Soul Skill, the Blue Silver Grass, which exuded a life aura, seemed to change instantly.
It's not that the spear-tip gave off a particularly sharp vibe.
Rather, the momentum it conveyed was significantly oppressive.
Bam!
The Blue Silver Grass struck the large tree ahead.
The tree, with a diameter of at least a meter, was directly penetrated by the Blue Silver Grass.
Furthermore, after piercing through the tree, the Blue Silver Grass continued its impact, ultimately penetrating three trees in total.
Gulp.
Huo Yuhao swallowed his saliva, and even Tang Ya and Beibei's expressions grew grave.
This terrifying destructive power could indeed be considered worthy of a Strong Attack Soul Master.
Beibei was stunned, as he was sure that neither of Su Yu's two Soul Rings had flickered.
Either it was concealed using special means, or this was a self-created Soul Skill!
And concealing it seemed unnecessary.
"Little Su, that's enough; we understand your strength now."
Although Su Yu's requirement was for a five-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, the target was only a plant-type Soul Beast and did not require attack power, so Beibei thought they could handle it.
...
The group searched for half a day at the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest.
Whoosh!
A black shadow flashed by, attacking the four of them.
Purple flashed in the eyes of both Beibei and Tang Ya.
"It's a Mandala Snake, and it's a thousand-year-old one! Beibei, I want it!" Tang Ya recognized the Mandala Snake, determined its age, and immediately exclaimed with joy.
Beibei had already completed Soul Attachment.
On the other side, Su Yu reacted quickly.
"Blue Silver Wall!"
Sturdy Blue Silver Grass sprang up from the ground, intertwining to form robust, tree-like columns, aligned side by side in front of the four.
Bam!
The Mandala Snake's figure came to an abrupt halt.
This impact also dazed it, hindering its immediate evasion from Beibei's attack.
Beibei's right arm had swollen, covered in dragon scales, with two yellow and one purple Soul Rings encircling his right arm.
He immediately lit up the first and third Soul Rings.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
Although the Mandala Snake hesitated for a moment, upon sensing danger, it attempted to dodge.
The Blue Silver Wall instantly dissolved, the Blue Silver Grass intertwining into thick vines.
"Blue Silver Binding!"
The thick vines securely bound the Mandala Snake, preventing its escape.
Beibei charged forward, violent thunderlights flickering across his body, his right arm emitting explosive thunder roars.
Boom!
The Thunder Dragon Claw struck down on the Mandala Snake's head.
After a mournful cry, the Mandala Snake nearly lost its vitality.
However, being a resilient Soul Beast, Beibei held back at the last moment; though the Mandala Snake couldn't be saved, it could survive a little longer.
"Xiaoya!"
Tang Ya didn't have time to strike before the Mandala Snake was subdued, immediately stepping forward to retrieve a Soul-guiding Device dagger, stabbing at the Mandala Snake's seven-inch point.
...
Two hours later.
Tang Ya opened her eyes, her face full of excitement and joy.
"Yay, Beibei, I am now a Soul Venerable!"
She kept repeating excitedly that she had become a Soul Venerable.
"Congratulations!"
"Teacher Xiaoya, congratulations on becoming a Soul Venerable."
Su Yu and Huo Yuhao also gave their blessings.
"Now only Little Su's Soul Ring is left."
The four continued their journey.
Unfortunately, the year requirement for Su Yu's Soul Ring was quite high, making it difficult to find in the outer regions of Xingdou Great Forest.
However, venturing deeper into Xingdou Great Forest would be dangerous.
In Huo Yuhao's mind, the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm was anxious too.
It wanted Huo Yuhao and the others to leave Xingdou Great Forest immediately and preferably not return for the next few months or even years.
It didn't even want to stay in the outer regions, let alone go deeper.
"Yuhao, head to your left rear."
Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned upon hearing the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm's instruction.
With Brother Tianmeng actively directing, he naturally trusted it, only wondering why it hadn't given any hints while Teacher Xiaoya was searching for her Soul Ring.
Huo Yuhao didn't think much, merely assuming that Brother Tianmeng had happened to have information on the Soul Ring Su Yu needed, and seeing them unable to find a target for so long, decided to help.
"Senior Brother, let's go this way."
Huo Yuhao's words drew the attention of the other three.
"This direction is closer to the edge of Xingdou Great Forest." Beibei frowned.
"I have a feeling there might be gains in this direction." Huo Yuhao attributed everything to his intuition.
"Yuhao is a Spirit System Soul Master, his intuition is quite keen.
Besides, staying on the outskirts isn't more dangerous than going deeper; let's check over there first."
Su Yu chimed in.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's guidance, Su Yu knew exactly where the information came from.
Although he didn't know why that bug was giving directions now, having a direction was always good.
The Big Worm's guidance couldn't be just any random Soul Beast, right?
It must be a good choice.
The four, following Huo Yuhao's lead, arrived at a valley.
Upon entering the valley, they could clearly feel a wave of scorching heat.
"This is the Bursting Heaven Pepper!"
Beibei exclaimed, warning the other three to be careful and slowly back away from the valley.
"Bursting Heaven Pepper!"
Su Yu also recalled the information about this Soul Beast.
This is one of the most unpredictable types among plant-type Soul Beasts, a fiery red vine-like Soul Beast that can bear chili-like fruits.
Each of its fruits contains a large amount of its Life Force, in an explosive state, ready to detonate at any time, causing terrifying damage.
It is considered unpredictable because the Bursting Heaven Pepper's attack method is the self-detonation of its fruits.
If you are powerful, hunting this Soul Beast is easy; you can swiftly kill it before the fruit self-detonates.
If you're weak, it doesn't matter; as long as you plan well, avoid the self-detonation of its fruits, and ensure you aren't hit when they explode.
The fruits of the Bursting Heaven Pepper require time to gather.
It is hard for them to regenerate in a short period.
Without the Bursting Heaven Pepper, the remaining vines have no attack means.
The only danger lies in failed planning; if caught in the explosion of the Bursting Heaven Pepper, one might be severely injured.
However, Su Yu and his group of four weren't afraid of this possibility.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing ensured the three of them could precisely determine whether the Bursting Heaven Pepper's fruits were about to explode.
Su Yu had long-range attack capabilities, and his flexible control over the Blue Silver Grass allowed him to bind the Bursting Heaven Pepper.
Beibei, mastering thunder attacks, could stimulate even an uncooperative Bursting Heaven Pepper to ignite its fruits with external force!
Perfect coordination!
