DreamersGN Chapter 3 The Talking Soul Beast
Chapter 3 The Talking Soul Beast
Huo Yuhao had been diligently cultivating for more than five years in preparation for this day.
He strode confidently into the Starry Sky Forest.
Ancient trees reach for the sky, casting dappled shadows, and the sweltering air gradually becomes cooler.
Huo Yuhao proceeded cautiously.
He maintained the early warning ability of his spiritual eyes, and his six senses were extremely keen as he observed his surroundings, always on guard against possible attacks from soul beasts.
When hunting souls in the Starry Sky Forest, one must always be vigilant.
He carried the Heavenly Scale Halberd and moved forward slowly. Suddenly, a strange stinging sensation appeared in his spiritual eyes.
In that instant, Huo Yuhao saw a dark figure rushing towards him from the road not far away.
It was a baboon with brownish-yellow fur all over its body, unusually long arms, and a height of about one meter.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously recalled the description in the miscellaneous chapters of the "Martial Arts Classic".
Ten years of wind and baboons.
This is a soul beast that I can handle on my own.
Huo Yuhao retracted the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.
This was the first real battle of his life.
A loud, drum-like heartbeat resounded from his chest. Huo Yuhao assumed the starting stance of Tongbei Fist and directly confronted the sharp claws that the wind baboon reached out.
The wind baboon's attack was powerful, but in Huo Yuhao's eyes, it was full of flaws.
Snapped!Snapped!
Huo Yuhao slapped his sleeve against his arm, producing a crisp and loud sound that quickly spread in all directions.
Tongbei Fist, two strikes!
In the Lin family of Qingyang Town, Tongbei Quan is considered one of the best martial arts in the first rank. It emphasizes the power of the palm sticking to the clothes and has nine forms, hence it is also known as the Nine-Sound Power.
After the Tongbei Fist strikes nine times, its power is comparable to a second-grade martial art.
Beyond the nine shots, the force of the ninth shot, which is about to reach its peak, can be pushed to a new peak through the coordination of muscles and bones, namely the tenth shot.
Huo Yuhao's fist collided violently with the wind baboon's claws.
boom!
The moment the fists made contact, the wind baboon shuddered, and an irresistible force surged from the fist.
It let out a roar of extreme pain.
The wind baboon was horrified to feel that a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds were coming from its rough and hard animal bones.
With just one punch, Huo Yuhao broke Feng Feifei's bones.
However, Huo Yuhao's eyes remained unchanged, and with a flick of his arm, another crisp sound rang out.
The Tongbei Fist, with its increasingly heavy force, struck the wind baboon directly in the abdomen.
boom!
The wind baboon coughed up blood and staggered backward, being slammed six or seven meters away.
It struggled to sit up, coughing up several pieces of internal organs, its eyes filled with intense fear.
The wind baboon initially thought Huo Yuhao was a delicious meal, but it turned out to be a tough nut to crack.
Facing Huo Yuhao who was leaping towards it, it quickly rolled to the side, then sprang up, opened its mouth and roared angrily. Instantly, a ball of rich white light shot out from its mouth and flew straight towards Huo Yuhao.
Meanwhile, it fled rapidly into the distance.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he summoned the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd once again.
He swung his halberd fiercely, and crimson light instantly condensed on the blade of the Heavenly Scale Halberd.
Huo Yuhao twisted his waist and spun around, drawing a circle with both hands holding the halberd, and with a powerful slash, shattered the white ball of light spat out by the wind baboon.
Immediately following was a whooshing sound that exploded above the wind baboon's head.
Huo Yuhao's steps were like collapsing mountains, and his Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd was like a dragon entering the sea. He used the Sticky Clothes Stance of Tongbei Fist to shake out three afterimages at the halberd's tip, aiming straight for the head of the Wind Baboon.
Chi!
A flash of cold light, and the beast's head fell to the ground.
A faint white light emerged from the corpse of the wind baboon, and then slowly condensed into a white halo above the corpse.
Ten-year soul ring.
Looking at the pure white spirit ring, Huo Yuhao felt no discomfort at the thought of killing; instead, he quickly calmed down.
Huo Yuhao had witnessed the bloody battles of the Hundred Dynasties, the Sect Competition, and the Great War of Heaven and Earth on the Tianxuan Continent. Killing a mere ten-year-old Wind Baboon could not stir any emotion in him.
"If it weren't for the Martial Ancestor," Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think, "perhaps I would have absorbed this soul ring."
"After all, the Martial Arts Classic says that the number of years a Soul Master can absorb Soul Rings is directly proportional to the Soul Master's physical fitness."
"My physical condition was so poor back then, I figured I could only absorb a ten-year soul ring."
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt even more grateful to the Martial Ancestor.
"Compared to the Yuan Power cultivation system of the Tianxuan Continent, Soul Master cultivation relies too much on external forces. Without a Soul Ring, no matter how talented you are, you can only become an ordinary person."
Huo Yuhao has already realized the abnormality of the Soul Master cultivation system.
"However, compared with the Yuanli system, the Soul Master system also has its own advantages, namely its immediacy."
Huo Yuhao carefully observed the spirit ring of the Wind Baboon: "As long as a spirit master absorbs a spirit ring, he can immediately gain a skill, which is much more efficient than hard training on the Tianxuan Continent."
"However, since soul skills are derived from external forces, their lower limit of power is guaranteed, but their upper limit is limited by the type of soul ring and the fusion of the martial soul. Ultimately, they cannot compare to martial arts, which are powers cultivated by oneself."
Huo Yuhao frowned: "The Martial Ancestor clearly possesses the power to allow me to cultivate directly without relying on the Soul Master system, yet he still insists that I cultivate the Soul Master system. What kind of consideration is behind this?"
Just as Huo Yuhao was deep in thought, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble violently.
Huo Yuhao's expression changed.
It's very unusual that the Spirit Eye didn't issue a warning.
"Finally, I've encountered a human with spiritual attributes! This is truly a rare opportunity!"
"If it weren't for the fact that my pride is so important, I would definitely have cried my eyes out!"
A voice suddenly rang in Huo Yuhao's mind.
As the sound appeared, spiderweb-like cracks slowly appeared in the ground in front of Huo Yuhao, and a faint white-gold light could be seen shining out from the cracks.
Humanity?
"Oh no! It's a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Huo Yuhao turned and ran.
A soul beast that can talk must be at least a hundred thousand years old!
A 100,000-year-old soul beast is a powerful soul beast that can rival a titled Douluo. Every time one appears, it is enough to cause a bloodbath. It is something that I cannot contend with at my current level!
escape!
We must escape as quickly as possible!
Huo Yuhao had no time to think about why a powerful 100,000-year-old soul beast would suddenly appear in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Hey, no! Why are you running away? I didn't mean any harm!"
Seeing Huo Yuhao turn and run, the owner of the voice hurriedly explained, "Don't run! I'm here to bring you immense wealth!"
Huo Yuhao ignored him.
"Stop running! I only have good intentions towards you! Why are you running away!"
A massive surge of spiritual power suddenly descended, stunning Huo Yuhao so that he was unable to move an inch.
