Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 100, 99. The Astounding First Soul Skill

"That's because the Star Moon Spirit Vine contains the power of the Star Spirit and the power of the Moon Spirit," Ling Bingtian explained.

"This is a secret known to very few people. The Star Moon Vine contains Star Spirit Power and Moon Spirit Power, which not only provides the necessary energy for the Star Moon Vine, but also provides the Soul Master who hunts the Star Moon Vine with an opportunity to combine Star Spirit Power and Moon Spirit Power for body tempering."

"Through this body tempering, not only can the Soul Master's body be strengthened, but the power of the Star Moon can also be used to purify the Soul Master's Martial Soul, eliminating most of the attributes that are not evil enough. And according to my observation, the evil attribute attached to Tang Ya's Martial Soul is completely unable to withstand a Star Moon Body Tempering."

The more Ling Bingtian spoke, the brighter Bei Bei and Tang Ya's eyes became. By the time Ling Bingtian finished speaking, their eyes were so bright that Ling Bingtian felt like he was looking at four giant light bulbs.

"Heavens, how did you know about this characteristic of the Star Moon Vine? You know, they are extremely rare on the continent. Even in our Shrek Academy, there is no record of such a case." Compared to Tang Ya, who was already excited to the point of being completely out of control, Bei Bei, panting heavily and looking excited, was much calmer.

After spending a day together, he realized that Ling Bingtian didn't like to procrastinate in his speech and actions. Therefore, Beibei asked Ling Bingtian directly.

"It's a coincidence. This is because there was once an ancestor in the Ling family whose situation was very similar to Tang Ya's. His martial soul also carried a weak evil attribute. He happened to absorb a Star Moon Life Vine soul ring, and that's how he discovered this characteristic of the Star Moon Life Vine." Ling Bingtian shrugged and explained to Bei Bei with a nonchalant attitude.

To be honest, Ling Bingtian wasn't lying to Beibei. There really was an ancestor in the Ling family's history who got rid of the faint evil attribute carried in his martial soul in this way.

According to that ancestor's speculation, only beings with evil attributes in their martial souls could possibly experience the benefits of Star Moon Tempering when absorbing the Star Moon Spirit Vine soul ring. Therefore, Ling Bingtian was not surprised that Shrek Academy had no records of this.

The number one academy in the world, how could it possibly recruit a student whose martial soul has an evil attribute? Of course, unless this student's other talents are exceptionally outstanding, just like Sister Tao.

However, Shrek Academy would certainly not allow someone like Sister Xiaotao to absorb a spirit ring like the Star Moon Spirit Vine, which isn't considered top-tier. Therefore, this secret naturally remained undiscovered by the Shrek Academy.

"Okay, let's do it." After hearing Ling Bingtian's final explanation, Beibei didn't think too much about it and made the final decision.

His words also garnered support from Tang Ya, who already agreed with him.

Ever since hearing Ling Bingtian say that her martial soul carries the dark attribute, coupled with her own secret desire to devour, Tang Ya knew that Ling Bingtian was probably right.

Her own martial soul might actually contain some evil attributes! The thought sent a chill down Tang Ya's spine.

Evil Soul Master! This label is far too heavy for me to bear!

Now that Ling Bingtian said that this Star Moon Spirit Vine might be able to solve her martial soul problem, how could Tang Ya possibly refuse? She immediately agreed.

Ling Bingtian shrugged, thinking of walking to the side. The soul beast had found it for them, so surely he wouldn't have to do it himself? He could treat Bei Bei and the others as friends, but they were definitely not babysitters!

However, just as Bei Bei and Tang Ya were discussing how to make their move, Huo Yuhao, who had been ignored by the three of them for a long time, suddenly interjected with a trembling voice.

"Um, Brother Bei, Sister Xiaoya, I feel that my first soul skill should be able to help you." After repeating his words two or three times, Bei Bei and Tang Ya finally understood what he meant.

Huo Yuhao was still very nervous. Although he could have just stood by and watched, he couldn't help but think of how Bei Bei and Tang Ya had helped protect him when he was unconscious. He felt he had to repay them.

From a young age, Huo Yuhao's mother taught him that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude.

Therefore, even though he was very nervous, Huo Yuhao still bravely stepped forward, wanting to help Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

The two were quite moved. A Soul Master, and a Soul Master with ten years of Soul Rings and his first Soul Ring at that, actually had the courage to help them hunt down a thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

Whether it's useful or not, this attitude is commendable, and for this reason, Tang Ya wants Huo Yuhao to join the Tang Sect even more.

However, hunting thousand-year-old soul beasts is still too dangerous for a soul master. Bei Bei instinctively wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Ling Bingtian, who had been watching for a while.

"Since Brother Huo wants to try out his first soul skill, why don't you grant his wish? At least let him have a chance," Ling Bingtian advised Bei Bei.

Thinking of the dead wind baboon corpse, to be honest, Bei Bei really didn't want to waste this time, but since Ling Bingtian had already spoken, he was even less willing to offend Ling Bingtian.

So he nodded, waiting for Huo Yuhao to unleash his first soul skill.

Looking at Bei Bei's expression, Huo Yuhao, who had to learn to read people's expressions since childhood, could easily understand what he was thinking.

However, he is no longer the incompetent person he once was.

Golden light shimmered in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and as he circulated his soul power, a faint, shimmering white soul ring rose behind him.

Beibei and Tang Ya didn't notice, but Ling Bingtian reacted. A faint spiritual fluctuation, carrying a pulling force, attempted to connect with his spirit.

Seeing the two people beside him shudder and their eyes widen in disbelief, Ling Bingtian knew that this must be Huo Yuhao's first soul skill—Mental Detection.

Therefore, Ling Bingtian relaxed his physical defenses, allowing that spiritual energy to gently enter his mind.

boom!

In an instant, Ling Bingtian felt as if the world had suddenly opened up before him. The surrounding scenery transformed into a series of messages that appeared in his mind.

Everything within a 30-meter radius around them was presented in a three-dimensional form in their minds without them even needing to look at it. Any slight change would immediately be reflected in their brains.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both startled. They couldn't believe that this was Huo Yuhao's first soul skill. How could it be so amazing? With the help of this soul skill, dealing with any enemy would be so much easier.

If Huo Yuhao had been able to react in time when the Soul Hunters attacked, Bei Bei wouldn't have been entirely without a chance to deal with those three Soul Hunters with their terrible Soul Ring configurations.

Only Ling Bingtian and Huo Yuhao knew that this first soul skill was actually not just the effect of one soul skill, but the combined effect of two soul skills!

The million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Ring comes with a first Soul Skill, Spirit Detection, and a second Soul Skill, Spirit Sharing.

Although it was Huo Yuhao's first time using these two auxiliary soul skills, he was still a little unfamiliar with them, but the effect was already enough to shock Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

"Great! With Brother Huo's soul skill, we'll definitely be able to easily take down this Star Moon Spirit Vine!" Tang Ya exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Bei Bei's shoulder.

"Hmm." Feeling the wonder of Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, Bei Bei's eyes flickered as she acknowledged Tang Ya's words.

"Let's go. Now, let me see how you hunt soul beasts." Ling Bingtian briefly experienced the magical sensation and then stopped caring.

He then instructed the three men to begin hunting down the Star Moon Spirit Vine.

Bei Bei and the other two agreed without hesitation. After inquiring about the duration of Huo Yuhao's soul skill and learning that it consumed very little energy, the three returned by the same route and began their hunting journey.
