Chapter 17

Previously, the Thunder Dragon Claw was just to make the Mandala Snake move, while the second soul skill, Thunderbolt, transformed into a large net that was the true trap. As long as it was covered by the electric net, the Thunder Dragon Claw would chase from behind, and even if it couldn't severely injure the Mandala Snake, it could at least gain the upper hand.

However, the power of a thousand-year-old soul beast was not so easily underestimated. As the electric net closed in, a pink mist spewed from the Mandala Snake's mouth, spreading a sweet fragrance ten times more intense than before.

Tang Ya quickly retreated with Huo Yuhao, fearing even the slightest contamination, and for the first time, a worried look appeared on her face.

The lightning arrows transformed by Thunderbolt, when sprayed by the pink toxic mist, seemed to be doused with water, still powerful but instantly becoming fragmented.

The Mandala Snake displayed its fierce side, its body suddenly stiffening in the air and crashing into the electric net. It actually created a gap in the Thunderbolt, and as it flew out, its tail swung, the tip glowing bright pink, striking the pursuing Thunder Dragon Claw and shattering Beibei's first soul skill.

However, Beibei's attack was not entirely ineffective. As one of the most powerful beast soul masters, his offensive power was the best among soul masters of the same level. Although the Mandala Snake was fierce, after breaking through two major thunder soul skills, a layer of fine lightning appeared on its body, and it was unable to continue its attack after landing.

Beibei also did not pursue. The pink toxic mist spread in the air, and he dared not touch it at all. As he quickly retreated, he held a porcelain bottle in his hand, took a pill himself, and threw the bottle to Tang Ya.

Tang Ya caught the bottle, poured out two pills, took one herself, and put the other in Huo Yuhao's mouth.

"Beibei, let me help you," Tang Ya said as she took the pill.

Beibei shook his head and said, "This guy is tough. We might have to prepare for a prolonged battle. There are likely other soul beasts around. You need to protect yourself, and I'll deal with him. Also, protect Yuhao."

This was the second time Beibei reminded Tang Ya to protect Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao felt a warm surge in his heart. For the first time in his life, besides his mother, someone was so good to him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

I have to help Master Brother; I'm not a waste.

Huo Yuhao quickly mobilized his soul power, injecting it into his Spirit Eyes. The soul skill he had just obtained immediately flashed in his mind.

In his deep blue eyes, a faint golden light reappeared, and a white soul ring rose from his feet.

On the surface, there were no other signs, but in the next moment, both Beibei and Tang Ya were shaken, their eyes filled with shock.

In their gaze, time seemed to slow down, and everything around them became exceptionally clear. A large amount of information instantly appeared in their minds at the point of their gaze. When Beibei focused on the Mandala Snake, the distance between them and the changes in the snake's muscles appeared in his mind. All the details were clearly presented in the depths of his mind.

Not only that, within a thirty-meter radius, they didn't need to use their eyes to see; everything was presented in their minds in a three-dimensional form. Any subtle change would immediately reflect in their minds.

This is...

Both Beibei and Tang Ya immediately thought of Huo Yuhao. Is this Huo Yuhao's first soul skill? How can it be so amazing? With this detection assistance, dealing with any enemy would be much easier. Especially for a soul beast like the Mandala Snake, which is extremely adept at speed, it can predict the enemy's moves. For Beibei, who has sufficient offensive power, nothing is more effective than this assistance.

A ten-year soul ring providing such a powerful skill, with such outstanding auxiliary ability, truly lives up to its rare mental mutation attribute!

Huo Yuhao naturally didn't know that Beibei and Tang Ya attributed the amazing display to his mutated soul power. In fact, he was using not one but two skills.

The first soul skill of the million-year soul ring, Spirit Detection, and the second soul skill, Spirit Sharing.

Both skills were auxiliary, and it was Huo Yuhao's first time using them. Although he hadn't fully grasped the subtleties of these soul skills, they still played a significant role.

With his current physical strength, the soul skills provided by the soul ring transformed from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silk Worm were equivalent to those of a four-hundred-year-old soul beast. Therefore, the range of Spirit Detection and Spirit Sharing was about thirty meters in diameter. However, with his current strength, he could share his Spirit Detection ability with a maximum of three targets simultaneously. Any more would exceed his capacity.

These two soul skills didn't consume much soul power, but they did require some of Huo Yuhao's mental energy. In a sense, he was using both his mental energy and soul power to support these skills. With his current cultivation, supporting them for at least fifteen minutes was no problem. The exact duration would need to be tested.

A low, booming sound suddenly erupted from Beibei's body. His entire body was enveloped in intense blue-purple electric light, and the scales on his right arm quickly spread to cover his right chest, his aura instantly surging. His purple third soul ring also emitted a brilliant light.

The thousand-year soul ring skill, Thunder's Wrath.

As the owner of the strongest offensive beast soul power, this third soul skill, Thunder's Wrath, could instantly increase the effectiveness of Beibei's soul power attacks by over fifty percent, and the lightning attribute doubled. Although it wasn't a direct attack skill, it could elevate Beibei's state to an extremely powerful level. Even some four-ringed soul masters, if their soul power was weak, would not be his match.

Although Beibei was young, his combat experience was extremely rich. With Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection and Spirit Sharing support, he knew his opportunity had come. Since he couldn't be sure how long Huo Yuhao could maintain it, he immediately went all out, using his strongest ability.

The blue-purple electric light swirled around the dragon claw in his right hand, forming a Thunder Dragon Claw twice as large as before. However, this time, Beibei didn't immediately release it. Instead, he flashed forward, charging toward the thousand-year-old Mandala Snake.

The Mandala Snake was also cunning. Its thousand-year cultivation gave it a certain level of intelligence. The aura Beibei released already made it feel a significant threat. It couldn't afford to hurt the enemy anymore, so it sprayed a mouthful of toxic mist at Beibei and turned to run.

"Hmph!" Beibei coldly snorted, his gaze deepening. A layer of fine electric light suddenly burst from his body, dispersing the toxic mist. At the same time, his right hand, with the Thunder Dragon Claw, reached out to the air in front of him.
