Douluo: The True Eye
#4 - The value of Mandragora snake and the future direction
Although that roar was indeed quite impressive, such tactics are only useful when dealing with low-level Soul Beasts.
After all, Soul Beasts of ten thousand years or more possess considerable intelligence, and some highly intelligent ones can even speak human languages.
However, the Mandala Snake clearly didn't belong to either category. A deep rumble suddenly erupted from Bei Bei's body, and his third and first Soul Rings flashed simultaneously.
Intense blue-purple lightning emanated from his entire body, and his already exceptionally strong right arm grew even larger, with scales spreading from his right arm to cover his body.
The scales spread to cover his right half, and Bei Bei's aura surged as his Soul Power reached its peak.
Simultaneously, a tremendous suction force emanated from Bei Bei's palm. The Mandala Snake, weakened by its injuries and the paralyzing effects of foreign Soul Power blocking its meridians, was uncontrollably drawn towards Bei Bei.
A Thunder Dragon Claw, significantly larger than the previous one, covered Bei Bei's right claw. Just as Bei Bei was about to succeed, Huo Yuhao spoke again.
"Elder Brother Bei, be careful of its head!" Hearing this, Bei Bei's expression changed, and he quickly moved to the side, while the Soul Power output from his right palm remained undiminished.
In a moment of life and death, the flower bud on top of the Mandala Snake's head suddenly burst open, and a stream of pink blood shot out.
However, thanks to Huo Yuhao's advance warning, it only grazed Bei Bei's body and landed on the ground. If Bei Bei hadn't received Huo Yuhao's warning and dodged in time, the battle could have been reversed.
Bei Bei watched as the ground stained by the pink blood turned pink and sizzled. A few drops of cold sweat trickled down Bei Bei's forehead.
Because of Huo Yuhao's timely warnings, he had relaxed a bit and forgotten that the Mandala Snake, besides its basic binding, venomous fangs, and poisonous mist abilities, could also mutate other poison-attribute Soul Skills.
He had completely let down his guard and almost suffered a setback. This is a common occurrence in Soul Master battles.
In tense battles, information is life. In battles between extraordinary individuals, apart from absolute power, the core is information warfare.
It's about understanding how much information you can gather about your opponent, calculating what means they might employ, and guiding their actions step by step, taking control of the battle.
When you abandon all your strengths and fall into my rhythm, even if there is a difference in strength, as long as it's not overwhelming, the outcome of the battle will be predetermined.
Because some battles may seem like a fifty-fifty chance, or even a slim chance of victory, but when all the factors, timing, location, and personnel, have been calculated before the battle,
then there is no chance of victory, only one possibility: a one hundred percent victory. That is the core logic of battle.
At this point, the Mandala Snake was completely out of tricks. With the assistance of Crane Control, Dragon Capture, Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw fiercely gripped the Mandala Snake's seven inches, and under the terrifying lightning, the Mandala Snake twitched and became paralyzed.
Tang Ya quickly stepped forward, and a flying knife about half a foot long appeared in her hand, piercing the Mandala Snake's brain through its eye, ending the life of this thousand-year Mandala Snake.
At the same time, a purple halo emerged from the Mandala Snake's corpse, a thousand-year Soul Ring.
At this time, Huo Yuhao also retracted his Martial Soul. This final thrilling scene was naturally guided by him.
Otherwise, from the beginning, Huo Yuhao would have directed Bei Bei to attack the fleshy瘤 on the Mandala Snake's head. Doing so was naturally to show Bei Bei his value.
Because victories that come too easily are not cherished. Only by reversing the situation at a critical moment will you be remembered.
At this moment, Bei Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down the snake corpse, and let Tang Ya absorb the Soul Ring. He slightly treated the injuries he had sustained.
Although he had Huo Yuhao's guidance and detoxification pills during the previous battle, the Mandala Snake was extremely poisonous after all, and he still needed to use Soul Power to force out the residual poison that could not be eliminated by the detoxification pills and could only be suppressed.
"Could this be Little Brother Huo's Soul Skill, the ability to see through other people's actions?"
Bei Bei smiled gently, with a hint of inquiry in his words, "Well, it's not that I want to inquire about Little Brother Huo's privacy, but Little Brother Huo, this ability of yours is really strong and very talented."
"If there's a chance, even if you don't consider joining the Tang Sect, you should come with us to Shrek City and try joining Shrek Academy. Only at Shrek Academy can your talent be maximized."
Bei Bei said so. After all, such an ability is particularly important in battles, especially in small-scale arena battles, whether it's a two-person duel, a three-person duel, or even a seven-person duel.
If the friendly side has an extra scout who can see through all the enemy's actions and provide solutions, then the strategic significance is too important.
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Well, I have considered it along the way. It's too early to join a sect. If possible, I will try to join Shrek Academy, but I don't have a City Lord's recommendation letter."
"That's easy to say." Bei Bei nodded, "In fact, in addition to the City Lords of other cities, Shrek City itself can also issue recommendation letters, but they are not issued by the City Lord, but by Soul Masters who pass the Shrek City's assessment."
"Moreover, the recommendation letters obtained in this way are of higher value in Shrek Academy, and can also be used to waive part of the tuition fees. Relatively speaking, it should be more suitable for Little Brother Huo."
"It's just that although Little Brother Huo your Martial Soul and Soul Skill configuration are very good, you don't have any offensive Soul Skills. You are a Soul Master who is biased towards mental power and support, and your physical fitness is not good. If you want to pass the Shrek City's assessment, it won't be so easy."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao understood the other party's implication. In fact, he was still using Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, to lure himself into joining the Tang Sect. After all, Shrek Academy accepts all types of Soul Masters.
However, to be honest, they still prefer soul masters of the Strength Attack, Agility Attack, and Control types, and while they don't refuse assistance-type and food-type soul masters, they don't particularly value them.
“Well, Big Brother Bei, let me think about it.”
Beibei didn't continue to press Huo Yuhao, but began to impart knowledge about the Mandrill Serpent to Huo Yuhao.
For example, comparing the appearance of the Mandrill Serpent with the duration of its cultivation, as well as the Mandrill Serpent's ecological niche and possible soul skills, and so on.
Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly. He was a newcomer, and the original Huo Yuhao had been trapped in the White Tiger Duke's mansion as the son of a servant for many years. It couldn't be said that his knowledge was quite lacking, it could only be said that he didn't even know many common things in the soul master world.
He had been rushing on the road and exploring his own martial soul, so he didn't have the opportunity to ask Beibei. At this time, Huo Yuhao quickly seized the opportunity,
and confided some of his doubts to Beibei.
And Beibei was also happy to answer Huo Yuhao, after all, they still wanted to abduct, oh no, they should say they were cordially inviting Huo Yuhao to join the Tang Sect.
More than an hour passed like this before Tang Ya finally absorbed her third soul ring.
This was because Tang Ya's physical fitness was not outstanding, and her own martial soul was not excellent, so it took a long time to fuse with the Mandrill Serpent's soul ring.
The compatibility between Blue Silver Grass and the Mandrill Serpent was not excellent, so it took longer to run in and adapt to this process, and absorbing it as the third soul ring was just a habit passed down from the Tang Sect throughout history.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao also had a better understanding of the world of soul masters. Not to say it was a naked dog-eat-dog world, but it could only be said that there was no social structure at all, and it was completely supported by the strong and their fists.
But it's no wonder, after all, Douluo Star has been like this for tens of thousands of years under the supervision of the God Realm, and it's difficult for soul masters.
“Beibei, I succeeded! What are you and Little Yuhao talking about?” Tang Ya said happily, and as she urged her soul power, three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from under her feet.
At the same time, a clump of Blue Silver Grass also grew out beside her feet. Except for the original blue skin, pink lines grew on the grass leaves of the Blue Silver Grass. This was the change caused by the third soul ring.
After thousands of years of inheritance, although the martial soul is still Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Grass of Tang Ya's Tang Sect bloodline is very different from the Blue Silver Grass of ordinary soul masters.
The long-term selection of specific soul rings has also caused a certain degree of directional mutation in their Blue Silver Grass martial soul, especially for soul rings produced by some soul beasts, there is a special bonus, such as the current Mandrill Serpent.
After cheering, Tang Ya suddenly hugged Beibei, and Beibei also hugged her dotingly. Huo Yuhao coughed softly and said, "Big Brother Bei, Sister Tang, it's getting late, should we leave here first?"
At this time, Tang Ya seemed to remember the existence of Huo Yuhao, a third wheel, and her face turned red. She quickly ran out of Beibei's arms as if fleeing, and then娇嗔 said to Beibei: “Beibei, it's all your fault!”
Beibei also quickly pretended to be a gentleman and then said: “Little Brother Huo is right, we have delayed a lot of time. Although this is the territory of that thousand-year-old Mandrill Serpent, it does not rule out the possibility of other soul beasts appearing.”
Tang Ya also calmed down and then said: “Then let's go back to the place where we met Little Yuhao before.”
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something and said: “Shouldn't we take away the body of this Mandrill Serpent? I heard that the flesh and blood and materials on the soul beast can also be sold for money in the major soul master trading places in the city.”
Hearing this, Beibei and Tang Ya were both stunned, and then Beibei said: “Although this is the case, the Mandrill Serpent is highly poisonous and cannot be eaten by soul masters. Even if it is brought to the city, it will only extract the poison from its body, which is not worth much money.”
“.” Huo Yuhao was speechless. These two young masters and young ladies naturally looked down on this small profit, but he valued it. The original owner, this poor ghost, didn't bring a few copper coins when he came out of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
He is now really penniless. Although the body of the Mandrill Serpent is not as valuable as the bodies of other soul beasts, it is still a thousand-year-old soul beast, right? Don't be so disrespectful to its contribution, the Mandrill Serpent will cry!
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still wearing his clothes, Beibei also understood and smiled awkwardly, then quickly processed the body of the Mandrill Serpent and put it into the storage soul tool.
Then the three of them quickly rushed to the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, and finally managed to return to the small stream where Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and Beibei first met and grilled fish before nightfall.
Then, under Beibei's action, a dozen green fish were easily stunned by his thunder power, and then became the dinner for Huo Yuhao and the others, and this time, the chef was naturally Huo Yuhao.
Because he inherited the memory of the original owner and the experience of his life before crossing over, Huo Yuhao had no problem handling a few grilled fish, and soon made everyone eat a satisfying and rich dinner.
In addition to grilled fish, Beibei and Tang Ya also took out some other food from the storage soul tool.
Huo Yuhao could see through his True Eye that the energy contained in these foods was far richer than ordinary foods.
‘Is this the resource of Shrek Academy?’ Huo Yuhao also understood what Tang Ya and Beibei meant by doing this, they wanted to lure him in all aspects with these high-energy foods.
‘But indeed, my foundation is still too poor now, and plus I have no money, maybe joining the Tang Sect first is the best choice now.’
‘As for Tang San... Joining the Tang Sect doesn't mean I have to follow Tang San's plan. What belongs to God belongs to God, and what belongs to man belongs to man. Maybe I can turn the Tang Sect into my own force after I have completely grown up.’
‘After all, the current Tang Sect actually only has Beibei and Tang Ya left, but it is not appropriate to respond immediately now, I have to find a suitable opportunity, and first sort out the things on my body, it's time to talk to Tianmeng Iceworm.’
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao put down the almost eaten food in his hand, sat by the campfire and said to Beibei and Tang Ya: “Big Brother Bei, Sister Tang, my mental power and soul power have been consumed a lot today, I'm so tired, can I rest for a while first?”
