Chapter 19

"Due to its innate strength and toxicity, the Mandala Snake has few natural enemies. Before reaching a thousand years of cultivation, their bodies are dark green, growing one meter every hundred years. When they approach a thousand years of cultivation, their length can reach nearly ten meters. Once they break through the thousand-year mark, their power condenses, and they molt continuously. Not only does their body color change from dark green to pink, but their length also shrinks back to one meter, then grows one meter every hundred years. After two thousand years of cultivation, the pink color deepens as they shrink again. Judging by the color and length of the Mandala Snake we just saw, it should have over 1,300 years of cultivation. If it weren't for your help, I would have had to pay a price to kill it."

Of course, what Beibei didn't say was that without Huo Yuhao, he and Tang Ya could still kill the Mandala Snake with some effort, otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

Listening to Beibei's explanation, Huo Yuhao learned something new, "So the Mandala Snake is this amazing. If it reaches ten thousand years of cultivation, will it undergo another transformation?"

Beibei nodded and said, "A ten-thousand-year Mandala Snake turns yellow, and it truly becomes a terrifying existence. Even a fifty-level Soul King would not dare to provoke a ten-thousand-year Mandala Snake easily. At least a sixty-level Soul Emperor would be needed to ensure victory."

"Little Junior Brother, while Xiao Ya absorbs the soul ring, tell me about your soul skills. What was the name of the soul skill you used just now, and how long can you maintain it? This is very important."

Huo Yuhao had already been warned by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silk Worm not to reveal its existence. After a moment's thought, he said, "Senior Brother, the skill I used just now is called Mental Detection Sharing. The range you felt is about thirty meters in diameter. As my soul power increases in the future, this range should also increase. I don't know how long I can maintain it, but it seems that the skill doesn't consume much soul power."

"Really?" Beibei stared at him in amazement, "A skill with such a significant effect doesn't consume much soul power? Your Spirit Eyes soul power seems too powerful. Moreover, your soul ring comes from a ten-year soul beast, the Mandrill. This is truly hard for me to understand. Our Douluo Continent has been studying soul powers for over ten thousand years, but I have never read about a case like yours in any book. It's really hard to imagine."

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, "I don't know what's going on either."

After a moment of thought, Beibei smiled and said, "Little Junior Brother, you don't need to think too much about it. A powerful soul skill is always a good thing. With this soul skill as a foundation, any soul master would be willing to cooperate with you in the future. However, Little Junior Brother, you are a mental attribute soul master. Are you planning to become a support-type soul master or a control-type battle soul master?"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback, "I don't know."

Beibei said, "Choosing your cultivation path is very important. It relates to your future choices of soul ring skills and cultivation tendencies. Your mental attribute, although it has just gained its first soul ring, has already shown its powerful potential. If it's just for support, I think it would be a waste. Although I don't know what other mental attribute skills you will gain in the future, I lean towards you becoming a control-type battle soul master. Focus more on mental control. If everything goes well, you might become the core of a team in the future."

"Team? Do soul masters have to be in a team?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously. From a young age, he had always relied on himself for cultivation, exploring everything on his own without any guidance. Now, joining the Tang Gate, this Senior Brother was more important to him than a teacher, teaching him a lot in just half a day.

Beibei patiently explained, "Our soul master profession has developed for many years, and the team model was fully formed under the influence of the legendary great power who founded our Tang Gate ten thousand years ago. At that time, he and his companions were known as the Seven Monsters of Shrek. Each of the seven had powerful abilities, and when combined, they could exponentially increase their combat power. Since then, cooperation among soul masters has become a necessary part of their development. After all, individual strength is always limited. For example, your cooperation with me just now made the battle much easier for me. Xiao Ya and I also have some cooperative methods. Generally, a soul master team does not exceed ten people. There are defensive battle soul masters, strong attack-type battle soul masters, and control-type battle soul masters, who play the most significant roles in the team. There are also support-type tool soul masters, support-type food soul masters, agile attack-type soul masters, and so on, each playing different roles in the team."

Huo Yuhao suddenly understood, "So, Senior Brother, you are a strong attack-type battle soul master?"

Beibei smiled and nodded, "My soul power is the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon, which is relatively powerful among beast soul powers. I specialize in strong attacks. Xiao Ya's soul power, Blue Silver Grass, makes her a control-type battle soul master, just like the legendary great power of our Tang Gate. Her control mainly lies in the Blue Silver Grass. If you can also become a control-type battle soul master, with your mental control ability combined with Xiao Ya's Blue Silver Grass, you can lead a powerful soul master team even without a support-type tool soul master."

Huo Yuhao nodded seriously, "Senior Brother, I'll follow your advice. I'll strive to become a control-type battle soul master. But my talent isn't very good, and I cultivate very slowly..." As he said this, he couldn't help but lower his head. Compared to Beibei and Tang Ya, he was quite talentless, having just gained his first ring at eleven years old.

Beibei patted Huo Yuhao's head and smiled, "Talent is just one part of success. No one probably guided you in cultivation before, and you didn't have suitable cultivation methods. It's already quite impressive that you reached this level through your own efforts. Plus, your soul power itself is quite good, and your future potential is also great. So, you don't need to feel inferior. Use this time to practice more. If you can break through to level thirty before you turn twenty, you have a chance to become a powerful soul master. Both I and Xiao Ya will try our best to help you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Huo Yuhao's face was filled with gratitude.

Beibei gently patted his shoulder, "Meeting you might also be good luck for Xiao Ya and me. We quickly solved her advancement problem. Once she finishes absorbing the soul ring, we can return to the academy. This place is not suitable for cultivation. You can recall the cultivation methods of the Profound Heaven Art I told you about, and start practicing when we reach a safe place."

"Yes." Huo Yuhao respectfully agreed. In his heart, he regarded Beibei as more of a teacher than even Tang Ya.
