Chapter 4.4

Book 1: Skydream Iceworm

Chapter 4.4:Thunderbolt Bei Bei

At this moment, the effects of Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection fully appeared. The reason that Bei Bei could predict his opponents movements and strike first was because of the Spiritual Detection that Huo Yuhao had shared with him. When the Mandala Snake sprung forwards, it fled diagonally to the left in front of Bei Bei. However, at this moment, an enormous absorption force appeared in the path that it had taken in order to escape, and it was almost as if it had simply delivered itself right into Bei Beis hands. Once the enormous absorption force caught the Mandala Snake, its forward momentum was immediately dissolved, and it was sucked towards Bei Bei.

With the threat of life and death looming over its head, the Mandala Snake immediately exploded out with power. A fierce pink light immediately shone from the top of its head, and it let out several sharp hisses. The flower-like protrusion on the top of its head suddenly exploded, and an arrow made of pink blood flew straight at Bei Bei.

However, Bei Bei had already responded to this in advance. The instant before the flower-like protrusion exploded, the Thunderous Dragon Claw on his right arm had already launched a fierce attack. It landed on the body of the Mandala Snake in the same instant that the protrusion exploded.

The arrow made of pink blood had only flown several inches before it was swept away by the explosion. However, Bei Bei felt cold sweat form. The Thunderous Dragon Claw that hed released had actually turned pink when it touched the pink blood. If it werent for the fact that he was able to predict his opponents movements, and seize a decisive opportunity, it mightve been very troublesome for him if hed been infected by that blood arrow.

Bei Beis figure flashed as he instantly charged forward. This time, the thousand-year Mandala Snake had no countermeasures left. It was accurately grabbed by Bei Beis right claw when it was only seven inches away from him. It still attempted to use its body to wrap around Bei Beis, but directly lost consciousness after being struck by the terrifying lightning from Bei Beis Vigorous Thunderbolt.

The thousand-year Mandala Snake was widely known for its tyrannical body and its lightning-like speed. However, once it fell into the hands of Bei Bei, who possessed an extraordinarily powerful martial spirit, its defensive power wasnt worth mentioning at all. Under the state of Thunderous Fury, Bei Beis dragon claw let out a fierce blow, partially crushing its head. Its bones seemed as if they could be crushed at any time.

Xiao Ya. Bei Bei let out a low roar.

Tang Ya naturally wouldnt let go of such a good opportunity. Carrying Huo Yuhao, she rapidly approached the Mandala Snake. A half-foot long throwing knife appeared in her hand, which she then flung directly into the Mandala Snakes mouth that Bei Bei had pinched open, ending the life of the thousand-year Mandala Snake.

The violet-blue light from his lightning vanished as Bei Bei finally relaxed, while a purple soul ring slowly condensed and formed above the Mandala Snakes head.

Tang Ya looked towards Bei Bei with an excited expression, and Bei Bei nodded back at her, Quickly start. I didnt think that wed meet a thousand-year soul beast at the edge of the Great Star Dou Forest. The quality of soul beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest has really increased.

Tang Ya giggled and said, I didnt think that itd go this smoothly. Protect me. Whilst speaking, she rapidly sat down in a cross-legged position beside the Mandala Snake. A blue, gem-like luster shone in her right hand, and she slowly raised her

empty hands. After gently tapping the purple soul ring above the Mandala Snake, it was immediately sucked into the blue light in her hand. Then, it merged with her body.

The smile on Tang Yas face suddenly vanished as she began to concentrate on absorbing the soul ring. Only now did Huo Yuhao realize that Tang Ya had already reached the bottleneck of the thirtieth rank. The reason why she and Bei Bei had come to the Great Star Dou Forest mustve been to look for a suitable third soul ring for her. Only, what was Teacher Xiao Yas martial soul? A blue vine?

Xiao Yas martial soul is Bluesilver Grass. Bei Bei said gently, as if hed seen through the doubt in Huo Yuhaos heart.

Huo Yuhao was astonished as he replied, TheBluesilver Grass? The same martial soul as the person in the Tang Sects legends?

Bei Bei nodded his head and said, Ten thousand years ago, the first generation sect master of the Tang Sect relied on his Bluesilver Grass martial soul to forge the Tang Sects glory. Afterwards, he became a God and left. However, he didnt leave any descendants in the Tang Sect. For the sake of remembering him, the later generations of the Tang Sect stubbornly glorified Bluesilver Grass when choosing the next sect master. In addition to that, the Tang Sect would put much more effort into nurturing Soul Masters who possessed Bluesilver Grass. Unfortunately, the facts have proven themselves. Bluesilver Grass isnt something that just anyone can unleash great power with. Ever since the almighty legend of the Tang Sect left, the Tang Sect hasnt had any more experts with Bluesilver Grass that were able to stand at the pinnacle of the continent. However, this tradition has continued to be passed down, and nobody can change it. Xiao Yas innate talent to use her Bluesilver Grass is already rather good, so I hope that she can make some sort of a breakthrough.

Huo Yuhao was slightly curious as he asked, Eldest senior brother, if that years Tang Sect was truly as strong as the legends say, why did it head down the road of decline?

Bei Bei smiled slightly and replied, Youll gradually understand the answer to this question once you arrive at Shrek Academy. There were many internal and external problems. Currently, the only people left in the Tang Sect are the few of us, but in fact, this isnt a bad thing at all. At the very least, itll be very hard to use certain restrictions on us. On the contrary, junior brother, youve truly given me a great surprise!

Huo Yuhao naturally understood that Bei Bei was referring to the soul skills that hed just used. He couldnt help but scratch his head in embarrassment. I was just trying to use it, its good that it was a bit helpful.

Bei Bei firmly said, How could that only be considered a bit helpful? I dont normally have the assurance to face a thousand-year soul beast. If it werent for that fantastic assistance from your spiritual power, it wouldve been very hard for me to escape in one piece.

Previously, when his confrontation with the Mandala Snake had reached its last crucial point, hed relied on Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection skill to help him accurately predict the Mandala Snakes every movement. Not only that, but the most important moment was when the Mandala Snake had detonated its crown.

The moment before it happened, Bei Bei had clearly felt a kind of bright feeling surround the Mandala Snakes crown within the Spiritual Detection world. He hadnt been able to see it with his eyes at all. This all came from the feeling that hed felt from the three-dimensional world of Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection. Because of this, hed been able to near-instantly react subconsciously. If not, he might not have been able to retreat in one piece if the toxic blood had polluted him.

This also made Bei Bei aware of how enormous of a role Huo Yuhaos skill had had during the battle. He made a conservative estimation; if he had the assistance of Huo Yuhaos skill during a fight with an opponent, his overall strength would be increased by twenty to thirty percent minimum. This was a phenomenal increase! Furthermore, this was only Huo Yuhaos first soul skill.

Huo Yuhao still had some lingering fear in his heart as he said, That snake was truly too fierce. Eldest senior brother, what soul beast was it

Bei Bei replied, Its called a Mandala Snake, and its toxicity is extremely strong. Not only does it have a numbing effect, it also has a strong destructive effect towards ones mental state. It was one of the most terrifying existences amongst poison-type soul beasts. Its body was extremely tough, and ordinary blades will have difficulty wounding it. Its only weaknesses are its mouth and eyes. However, the Mandala Snake will always protect these two exrtemely well. Furthermore, its speed is incomparably quick. However, the most terrifying part of this snake is its attack. Once it clearly identifies its opponent, it rarely gives up.
