On the other side of the forest, Tang Wulin's group was walking slowly forward.
"Um..."
Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Wulin walking in front, then at Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng beside him, feeling it was necessary to break the silence and communicate.
After all, they were a team, and they would definitely need to cooperate when they encountered Spirit Beasts later.
"Class Monitor, and Xie Xie, Wei Xiaofeng."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and spoke:
"Before the battle starts, I think it's better to briefly introduce each other's abilities first."
"That way, we'll have better coordination."
Tang Wulin stopped, turned around, and with sunlight spilling across his face, he revealed his signature gentle smile.
"Yuhao is right."
"Since we're a team, we really do need to understand each other."
"I'll go first then."
Huo Yuhao nodded and was the first to speak:
"My Spirit is the Spirit Eyes, Mental Attribute."
"Currently, I'm a one-ring Spirit Master."
"My First Spirit Skill is called Spiritual Detection Sharing."
"It can detect the surrounding environment in all directions within a thirty-meter diameter and share the detected images with teammates in a 3D format."
"However, because my current Mental Force is limited, I can only assist a maximum of three people at the same time."
"Which is exactly the number of people in our team."
"Not bad, Yuhao!"
Xie Xie patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and said with some surprise:
"Your Spirit Ability is very practical."
"I'm an agility-attack system, and my favorite thing is sneak attacks. With your Spirit Ability's assistance, sneak attacks will be much easier for me."
Tang Wulin and Wei Xiaofeng nearby also smiled and nodded without any sign of disdain, which deeply moved Huo Yuhao.
"Next is me."
Xie Xie took a step forward. A flash of light appeared in his hand as an ancient-looking dagger manifested, which then split into two.
"Xie Xie, Level 33 Agility-Attack System Battle Spirit Master."
"Spirit: Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger."
Huo Yuhao was stunned. At around the same age, Xie Xie was actually a Level 33 Spirit Master? This was too strong.
"Wei Xiaofeng, Level 28 agility-attack system Battle Spirit Master."
"Spirit: Green Shadow Snake."
Next, it was Tang Wulin's turn. Huo Yuhao felt that Tang Wulin should have twin spirits just like Xie Xie.
"Tang Wulin, Level 28 control system Battle Spirit Master."
"Spirit: Blue Silver Grass."
Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned. After all, when he saw Tang Wulin fight, it seemed he had a claw Spirit in addition to the Blue Silver Grass.
"Although I have that golden claw, it's not my Spirit. It's something in my bloodline; I can't explain the specifics clearly either."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's curiosity, Tang Wulin smiled and explained.
After hearing this explanation, Huo Yuhao still didn't understand. After all, he knew nothing about Bloodline Power.
"Yuhao, the Bloodline Power in Tang Wulin is quite terrifying. Even when I try to investigate it, I feel my whole body trembling. You must build a good relationship with him; this guy's Bloodline Power is definitely not simple."
Skydream Ice Worm muttered to himself again. Why did it feel like Tang Wulin had more Potential to Become a God than Huo Yuhao?
"Take my advice."
"You must hold onto this thigh tightly!"
For even a Million-Year Soul Beast like the Skydream Ice Worm to find the bloodline terrifying, it was indeed very scary.
...
After a brief exchange, the four-man team continued on their way.
Just then, five Wind Baboons appeared before them. Their bodies were covered in brownish-yellow fur, their eyes emitted a faint red glow, and most noticeably, two sharp fangs grew in their mouths.
The moment he saw these monkeys...
Huo Yuhao was instantly stunned. This was the first Spirit Beast he had encountered after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, and he had nearly died at its hands. If he hadn't happened to have the White Tiger Dagger, he probably would have been killed.
And now...
What appeared before him wasn't just one.
It was a full five of them!
And...
"This size, this fur color...""This... these are Hundred-year Wind Baboons!"
"And they're at least over four Hundred-years old!"
Wind Baboons were Spirit Beasts known for their speed and bizarre attacks.
A Ten-year Wind Baboon had already nearly cost Huo Yuhao his life.
Now there were five Hundred-year ones!
"Don't be afraid."
Seemingly noticing Huo Yuhao's tension, Tang Wulin reached out and patted his shoulder, his voice steady and powerful.
"We're here."
Huo Yuhao nodded, then released Spiritual Detection Sharing to connect the three of them.
"Good job, Yuhao!"
Feeling their vision become clearer, the three couldn't help but praise him.
"Let me handle them first."
With that, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and stepped out.
Just like that, empty-handed, he exposed himself directly to the eyes of the five Wind Baboons.
"Squeak squeak!"
The five Wind Baboons instantly spotted the intruder.
They let out a sharp hiss, the red light in their eyes intensifying.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Five pale green wind blades spat from their mouths, carrying the sharp whistle of tearing air as they flew straight for Tang Wulin's face!
"Watch out!"
Huo Yuhao cried out instinctively.
Yet, facing these five lethal wind blades, Tang Wulin didn't even dodge.
He merely turned his body slightly and clenched his right fist tightly.
"Buzz—"
A low rumble of blood essence erupted from within his body.
Immediately after, Tang Wulin's right arm swelled a size, covered by golden scales, and a ferocious and domineering Golden Dragon Claw abruptly appeared!
"Break!"
Tang Wulin threw a punch!
There was no glow of a Spirit Ability, only pure power!That power compressed the air, actually forming a visible white airwave at the tip of his fist!
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The five wind blades struck the Golden Dragon Claw and instantly shattered into a sky full of green light!
They couldn't break through his defense at all!
But Tang Wulin's movements didn't stop.
Exerting force with his feet, he launched himself like a golden cannonball, instantly shooting up onto a five-meter-high tree trunk!
"Get... down here!"
Tang Wulin growled low, the Golden Dragon Claw swinging out violently.
"Boom!"
That punch smashed directly into the nearest Wind Baboon.
There was no suspense.
That Wind Baboon with a Hundred-years of cultivation didn't even have time to scream before its head was blown apart like a rotten watermelon by the punch!
An instant kill with one punch!
Immediately following, Tang Wulin used the momentum to turn and delivered a horizontal sweep with his leg.
"Bang!"
The second Wind Baboon was struck in the waist, its body folding in half as it flew dozens of meters like a broken sack, snapping two large trees before stopping. It clearly wouldn't survive.
This was pure power!
The remaining three Wind Baboons were terrified and fled in all directions.
"Xie Xie! Wei Xiaofeng!"
Tang Wulin shouted.
"Understood!"
Having already prepared, Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng instantly darted out to finish the job.
In less than ten seconds.
The battle was over.
Five Hundred-year Wind Baboons, completely wiped out.
Seeing this scene, a massive wave of emotion surged in Huo Yuhao's heart.
"This... this is just too strong."
As fellow users of Blue Silver Grass, Huo Yuhao instinctively compared the Tang San of the same age from ten thousand years ago with the Tang Wulin before him.
What would happen if Tang Wulin faced the Blue Silver Binding of Tang San from ten thousand years ago?
