"Alright." Huo Yuhao excitedly agreed, "Then what are my four soul skills?"

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm said, "This is something you need to experience and understand on your own. What you discover yourself will always be clearer than what I directly tell you. However, don't be too happy too soon. Yes, I have provided you with four soul skills, and they are all mental attributes. The power I sealed within you is also quite substantial. But there are a few points you need to remember. First, the power I sealed within you can only help you increase the years of your soul rings, and thus the power of your soul skills, when you reach the appropriate cultivation level. It cannot help you enhance your own soul power. Second, the four soul skills I have given you are mostly auxiliary due to my own nature, and they lack significant offensive capabilities. Therefore, you are still very weak, and there is a long way to go before you become strong. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Mother taught me that no one can achieve success overnight. Only through hard work and effort can one become a person of high standing. Brother Tianmeng, rest assured, I will work hard."

"That's good. However, your talent is really quite lacking. Sigh... In the future, you need to find some heavenly treasures to eat. Your Spirit Eye soul power is a mutation, and while it has great potential, it has also affected your physical functions since childhood. Your meridians are narrow and sluggish, making cultivation somewhat difficult. Take it slowly; there's no need to rush. Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

"Did you see that gray light ball above?"

Huo Yuhao said, "I saw it. Is that also your power?"

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm said, "No, I don't know what it is. When I merged with your body, something suddenly changed, as if it was attracted by my mental power. That gray light ball is a thread of soul, and it seems not to belong to our world. I don't know where it came from. However, although this thread of soul is weak, its quality is extremely high, and I can't do anything about it. But I can sense that it has no ill intentions. It is currently in a deep sleep. It might never wake up during your lifetime, but if it does, it could cause some trouble. However, don't worry; if it really poses a threat to you, I can protect you without any problem."

"Alright, you should go out now. The two humans outside have been waiting for you, and they have no ill intentions."

"Two humans?" Huo Yuhao was still surprised when everything in front of him suddenly became blurry. He felt as if he was instantly sucked into a huge vortex and fell into darkness.

...

"Why isn't he waking up!" Tang Ya patted Huo Yuhao's face and looked at Bei Bei beside her with a questioning gaze.

Bei Bei smiled gently, "His vital energy is very stable, and his soul power is also normal and very vigorous. If I'm not mistaken, he has just broken through to the Soul Master level, which is a significant milestone. His body needs time to integrate this power and adapt to the breakthrough. It's a pity, though, that it's just a ten-year-old Wind Baboon."

Tang Ya huffed, "What's there to pity? A weak first soul ring is quite normal. It's already impressive that he could kill a Wind Baboon alone."

Bei Bei chuckled, "To win a woman's heart, you must first win her stomach. Especially someone like you, where the heart and stomach are connected."

Tang Ya's face turned slightly red, "Pfft, you're the one with the heart and stomach connected. Don't forget, I'm your teacher."

Bei Bei didn't argue, just smiled gently at her.

"Hmm..." A soft hum came from Huo Yuhao's mouth as he slowly opened his blurry eyes.

"Xiao Yuhao, you're finally awake. You scared me to death," Tang Ya said, delighted to see Huo Yuhao's eyes open.

Huo Yuhao felt a bit confused in his mind, but he steadied himself and became clear. The memory of his conversation with Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm was vivid. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Am I really not dreaming?"

Tang Ya giggled and pinched his arm, causing Huo Yuhao to wince, "Sister Tang Ya, what are you doing?"

Tang Ya laughed, "I'm helping you check if you're dreaming! How about it? Feeling more awake? You're really brave to go to the Star Dou Great Forest alone."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head awkwardly. After encountering the Wind Baboon, he truly realized his weakness and overestimation of his abilities. However, he was soon guided out of his awkwardness by a sense of urgency. He jumped up from the ground and activated his soul power.

Suddenly, a scene that filled Huo Yuhao with surprise appeared. The soul power in his body, which had previously reached a bottleneck, underwent a qualitative change. Even his physical strength seemed to have increased. The smooth soul power surged out, and everything the Spirit Eye saw became clearer. Many instinctive imprints appeared in his mind, each a skill. Four, indeed four skills! Tianmeng really exists; I'm not dreaming. This is all real. I actually have a million-year-old soul ring!

Only now did Huo Yuhao dare to believe that everything that happened was real. Joy surged uncontrollably in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout, "I succeeded—"

Bei Bei and Tang Ya saw a circle of translucent white soul ring rise from Huo Yuhao's feet, slowly ascending to his head and then gently pulsating downward. It was his first soul ring.

Bei Bei subconsciously thought, "Indeed, a ten-year-old soul ring." But he was slightly puzzled by why Huo Yuhao's ten-year-old soul ring looked so crystal clear, seemingly different from ordinary ten-year-old soul rings. How could he have known that a million-year-old soul ring was also white.

The change was not just in the soul ring but also in Huo Yuhao's eyes. A layer of pale golden light appeared in his deep blue eyes, and both Bei Bei and Tang Ya could feel the soul power fluctuations and a mental wave that made them momentarily dazed.

The powerful mental power emitted by Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm had temporarily deprived them of their ability to think, but because the difference between them and Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm was too great, they hadn't noticed. However, now, with Huo Yuhao right in front of them, the mental wave emitted from his eyes shocked both of them.

"Is your soul power a mental attribute? And it's a mental attribute soul power that has fused with a Wind Baboon as its first soul ring?" The usually calm Bei Bei couldn't help but change his expression. According to the soul master theory he knew, this seemed impossible. But the fact was right in front of him.

The pale golden light quickly faded from Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he came back to his senses, jumping up excitedly, "I succeeded, I really succeeded, I'm a Soul Master now."

Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Tang Ya couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yuhao, is your soul power a mental attribute? I felt a strong mental wave just now."

Huo Yuhao finally came to his senses and said a bit embarrassedly, "Yes! My soul power is the Spirit Eye, a mutated soul power, with a mental attribute."

Tang Ya's eyes lit up, "Spirit Eye? A body soul power? That's great."
