"You're still not coming with me..." Tang Ya pouted, walking gloomily on the moist, fresh soil. Her pair of exquisite long light blue boots was stained with specks of mud, but the young girl didn't even notice.
Capturing a spirit beast was a dangerous task. Without a powerhouse to accompany her, doing it alone would easily lead to the same disastrous situation from ten thousand years ago when the Grandmaster rashly took Tang San into the forest, potentially even costing her life.
However, Bei Bei's repeated excuses had completely exhausted her patience. This trip into the forest was also a bit of a gamble born from spite.
She wanted to prove that she, Tang Ya, was no worse than anyone else. Even without Bei Bei, she could still do it!
Muttering to herself, Tang Ya felt the strange and quiet atmosphere ahead, and a desire to retreat gradually sprouted in her heart. Although this was only the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, it wasn't a place just anyone could barge into.
A spirit grandmaster like her, at level twenty-nine, would be in mortal danger if she encountered a spirit beast of several hundred years, let alone a thousand-year one...
"Should I go back?" Tang Ya hesitated for a moment but gritted her teeth and continued walking forward.
She wanted to become the sect leader of the Tang Sect and wanted to take revenge for the sect. How could she fall while trying to capture a soul ring?
"Huh..." Tang Ya sniffed suddenly, her beautiful eyes widening abruptly.
"What delicious food... Is this grilled fish?!"
"Let's go take a look."
...
"Whew..."
On the other side, Lu Cheng finally let out a sigh of relief.
"As expected, the Treasure Hunting Mouse doesn't need to form a bond; one is enough to use..."
Watching Tang Ya ask that classic famous line, making little Huo blush, only then did she realize something was wrong, sticking out her tongue to change the subject.
"Do you want to join the Tang Sect? Your big sister will help you capture and hunt your first soul ring! And there is also a limited free quota for Shrek Academy, you know~"
"Sorry, thank you..." Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of caution. He nodded slightly, handed Tang Ya a gold coin, and then left.
"Sigh, am I too stupid? But my intelligence seems to be just enough to realize I said the wrong thing right after I finished speaking," Tang Ya said dejectedly, looking frustrated.
She bit her red lip lightly and exhaled a breath of turbid air. A forced smile squeezed onto her exquisite, pretty face.
...
"Is this a soul ring...?" The thin youth spat out a mouthful of blood, bracing himself against a nearby tree. Leaning under the big tree, he looked at the soul ring in front of him with surprise and complexity.
White, also the lowest grade of soul ring in the spirit master's world.
If he absorbed this soul ring, then it would be very difficult for him to avenge his mother. But if he didn't absorb it... let alone revenge, it was questionable whether he could even survive.
"So... absorb it." Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. Following the book descriptions he had seen earlier, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to pull the white soul ring over.
But the next instant, the entire world seemed to tremble.
Rumble~
With a violent roar, in the terrified sight of the youth, the ground in front of him cracked open. A huge, snow-white, crystalline silkworm, stretching who knows how far, emerged from the ground, looking down at Huo Yuhao from above.
"Hahahaha, Heaven blesses me, Heavenly Dream. To think I could still find a human with a mental attribute at this time..." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at the thin youth with eager eyes, full of joy.
"Not bad, not bad."
"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao curled into a ball and asked cautiously.
He realized that the other party didn't seem to have any ill intent.
"I am a million-year spirit beast, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Do you have a dream of becoming a divinity? Let Big Brother help you become a divinity, hehehe." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at the youth and spoke.
"I am willing!" The youth's eyes were full of excitement.
After bitterness comes sweetness.
Even if it were or weren't true, as long as he could avenge his mother, what did it matter if he took a gamble? Anyway, he only had this miserable life left.
"Alright then, bear with it; big brother is a bit big..." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pressed against Huo Yuhao's forehead, about to offer itself as a sacrifice. But in its bean-sized pupils, it suddenly felt a bit depressed.
"Why is the aptitude so poor...? I'm afraid he won't even be able to reach a Spirit Emperor in the future."
Suddenly, its gaze paused abruptly.
It looked fiercely towards the other side.
"Sorry, child, it's just that you are too weak..."
The massive figure drilled back into the ground abruptly and rushed towards the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest with a boom.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes blankly. It's gone? That's it?!!
He shook his head helplessly. It was truly bad luck; such a huge opportunity, and he hadn't even been able to grasp it. Since that was the case, he would turn his head and absorb the Wind Baboon's soul ring.
As a result, just as he turned his head, the white soul ring beside the Wind Baboon's corpse had long since disappeared. He remembered that the wind and waves caused when that big bug left had scattered the ten-year-old soul ring.
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He was speechless with grief.
...
"Hehehe, let big brother Heavenly Dream enter your body." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, looking down at Lu Cheng from above, its head pressing against his forehead, turning into a white light and surging into his body.
And it wasn't until the Fusion was complete that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was truly shocked.
"What a prodigy's aptitude, what perverted physical body strength. And... a twice-awakened mental-type martial soul. It is simply Heaven blessing me, Heavenly Dream!"
The overjoyed Heavenly Dream didn't forget to take away its shed silkworm skin. As its aura disappeared, several powerful auras suddenly rose in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, as if patrolling the entire forest. After finding nothing, they began to roar in impotent rage.
This sound made Heavenly Dream feel exceptionally comfortable.
"Let those beasts oppress me day after day."
And it hadn't been swimming in the vast mental ocean for long when the heavens suddenly thundered. A gray shadow, attracted by the commotion of its sacrificing itself to Lu Cheng, drifted into the mental ocean together.
Electrolux!
A smile curled on the corner of Lu Cheng's mouth.
Watching the unhappy Heavenly Dream constantly attacking that gray mist, while the latter remained unmoved, he completely confirmed that it was the only hexagonal warrior in the entire series, the undead disaster, Electrolux. After all, even if the latter were only a remnant consciousness, it would still be at the Divinity level. Even if the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mental force was strong, it couldn't disturb it in the slightest.
The difference between mortal and divinity was still very large.
"Damn it! The habitat I just found." Heavenly Dream raged impotently, and after a while, it sullenly drilled back into the mental ocean.
"Hmph, I'll wait until I've recuperated for a while."
"By the way, Xiao Cheng, I encountered a little guy earlier..." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said somewhat apologetically, "I was in too much of a hurry when I left, and I seem to have extinguished the ten-year soul ring he worked so hard to obtain. If possible, please help him get a suitable soul ring. Consider it my thanks to you."
"Okay," Lu Cheng said with a smile.
