Chapter 6, First Soul Skill - Spirit Sharing
Tang Ya cheered and threw herself into his arms, giving him a big hug. "Beibei, thank you."
Beibei held her delicate body in his arms, his smile filled with affection. "I promised to help you realize your dream, and I will."
Tang Ya leaned against Bei Bei's chest, but then she inadvertently saw a pair of large eyes staring at her in surprise. Suddenly remembering that someone else was there, she quickly broke free from Bei Bei's embrace and said somewhat shyly to Huo Yuhao, whose eyes were sparkling, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a teacher-student relationship before?"
Huo Yuhao honestly replied, "I've never seen it before!" When he saw Bei Bei and Tang Ya hugging each other, he suddenly felt a strange envy, but not a trace of jealousy. Senior Brother and Teacher Xiao Ya are really a perfect match.
Who will be by my side in the future? Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, or Tang Wutong? Or perhaps other female characters from the book, or even characters who haven't appeared in the book at all?
Bei Bei coughed and said, "Alright, now that you've finished absorbing your spirit ring, let's leave here quickly. In recent years, there have been more and more cases of spirit masters getting into trouble when they enter the Star Dou Great Forest. There are even thousand-year-old spirit beasts on the outer perimeter, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."
Tang Ya nodded and said, "Let's go."
It was already dark, but it was obviously not a good idea to camp out in the Star Dou Great Forest. The three of them ignored their fatigue and quickly headed towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Having regained his energy, Huo Yuhao once again activated the shared mental detection function.
"Xiao Yuhao, is this your first soul skill?" Feeling the shared mental detection again, Bei Bei couldn't help but ask the question she hadn't had a chance to ask before.
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei with suspicion: "When I was absorbing the spirit ring, you actually refrained from asking for so long?"
"Back then, I was too busy protecting you."
"Partial, right?" Seeing Bei Bei and Tang Ya looking at him with curiosity, Huo Yuhao explained the effect of his soul skill. "My first soul skill is called Spirit Sharing. Its effect is to share what I feel and what emotions I have with the people around me. The range and quantity will increase as my mental strength and cultivation improve."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao withdrew his mental detection, maintaining only the ability to share his mind. Bei Bei and Tang Ya's special perception of their surroundings disappeared, but a new image appeared in their minds—their image as seen through Huo Yuhao's eyes!
"Is the first soul skill spirit sharing?" This skill does fit Bei Bei's understanding of white soul rings. Even though it has been enhanced under the influence of the mutated martial soul, its overall strength is still within an understandable range. However, something seems off...
"Wait, your first soul skill is mental sharing, so what was that vision we had in our minds before?"
"I'm not entirely sure about this ability. It appeared not long after I awakened my martial soul. At first, I couldn't quite get the heat right when I was cooking the herbs I gathered for my mother. Then, I don't know when, I suddenly gained this magical field of vision. Although it was only about a meter wide at the time, it helped me better control the heat when cooking the herbs. However, I would get a little dizzy after using it for a while, and I would also temporarily lose my normal vision when using this special field of vision. Fortunately, now that I'm using my first soul skill, I can use two fields of vision at the same time."
After explaining, Huo Yuhao resumed using mental detection, since they were still in the relatively dangerous Star Dou Great Forest.
"Talent ability? Your mutated martial soul is truly exceptional!" Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Bei Bei and Tang Ya realized they had struck gold. "Your first soul skill is a perfect match for your talent ability. Perhaps even a soul skill with a hundred-year-old soul ring can't compare. You don't need to feel inferior because your first soul ring's age is too low. Soul rings should always be chosen based on suitability first, then on age!"
When Huo Yuhao specifically emphasized that two perspectives could not be used simultaneously in the past, Bei Bei was still somewhat confused.
Even after he closed his eyes and relied solely on his mental perception to move around, he clearly felt uncomfortable.
Even knowing the exact distance between himself and the wooden stake in front of him, as well as his arm length, he was initially unsure whether his punches could hit the target.
This feeling... is really strange. Unless you have trained specifically, you really can't get used to this field of vision. After all, he used to rely more on muscle memory to judge distance when he threw punches. Now he relies entirely on the field of vision provided by his soul skill. He doesn't follow the perspective of things appearing larger when they are closer and smaller when they are farther away. His body and field of vision are obviously somewhat uncoordinated.
However, when one's own visual field and mental detection work together, the resulting perspective, which is like having a built-in X-ray vision, is incredibly wonderful.
Beibei didn't doubt Yuhao's words. The mutated spirit attribute of the main body martial soul had almost maxed out all kinds of buffs, so it was not surprising how strange it was. As for the talent ability, some special martial souls are always accompanied by strange effects.
For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which has always been known for its auxiliary abilities, also has the ability to sense treasures. This innate ability is the foundation for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to accumulate enormous wealth without anyone noticing.
These special martial souls, even if they don't perform well at first, can soar to great heights with the right opportunity. It's not very reasonable that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has the ability to appraise treasures and the Eye Martial Soul has a special field of vision.
"By the way, Xiao Yuhao, are you planning to become a support or control type in the future?" Having discovered the immense potential of Xiao Yuhao's martial soul, Tang Ya understood that she needed to carefully plan his future path.
"At Shrek Academy, most spirit-attribute soul masters choose these two cultivation paths. However, your martial soul has such great potential. In my opinion, the control type might be more suitable for showcasing your talents than the support type."
"Teacher Xiaoya, I will think it over carefully." The immediate crisis was basically over, and Huo Yuhao began to look forward to what he could achieve in the future, and whether he could surpass the Huo Yuhao from the original work...
Speaking of which, I just realized that I don't even remember Huo Yuhao's soul skills from the middle and later stages when I was thinking about my future cultivation direction. It took me a lot of effort to rummage through the junk in my mind to find the memories I wanted.
In my past life, when I read novels, I saw the protagonist with the same name as me so full of vigor and high spirits. I even took out my meager living expenses to buy physical books and secretly read them during class. But after the Qiankun Training and the Valley of Love, I couldn't continue reading. I forced myself to finish the later content, but I didn't pay much attention to Huo Gua's strength.
Speaking of soul skills, unlike Huo Yuhao's "Huo Hea" in the original work, Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, which he publicly claimed to be mental sharing, was merely spiritual sharing.
In the original work, this soul skill was used in conjunction with mental detection. It had a very low profile, and some people might not even know that mental detection sharing is actually two soul skills. Huo Yuhao even speculated that these two soul skills were forcibly split into two to make up the number since they couldn't come up with four skills.
As for why Huo Yuhao attributed his mental detection to his martial soul, in the original work, Huo Yuhao possessed such a powerful ten-year soul skill, yet none of the group noticed anything amiss, simply assuming it was due to the mutation of the soul ring caused by the influence of his martial soul when absorbing it.
Huo Yuhao felt that this part was a bit unreasonable. Such obviously overpowered abilities, yet no one seemed to find anything wrong with them. However, the novel's content could only be taken as a reference. After all, the setting of Douluo Continent was not very rigorous, and Huo Yuhao did not want to gamble on whether people in this real world would have doubts.
Secondly, which has greater potential and is more worth cultivating: a spirit soul with a shared spiritual attribute resulting from an uncontrollable and unreplicable spirit ring mutation, or a mutated spirit soul that has developed a divine ability like spiritual detection?
Huo Yuhao is trying to "enhance" his potential and value in order to gain the early resource support from Shrek Academy.
"stop!"
Just as Huo Yuhao was pondering, Bei Bei suddenly became serious and raised her hand to signal the team to stop. Thirty meters in front of the three of them stood a huge rock. It seemed to be nothing special, but Huo Yuhao could clearly see a lizard-like soul beast lying on the rock in his mental detection. Its body was surrounded by earth-yellow soul power, making it seem as if it were one with the rock.
"A thousand-year-old chameleon... it doesn't seem very aggressive, let's go around it." Upon recognizing the spirit beast in front of them, Beibei immediately ordered a change of route.
"Fortunately, Xiao Yuhao's mental detection is there. If we had accidentally entered its attack range, Beibei might not have been able to withstand the chameleon's attack." After leaving the chameleon's range, Tang Ya finally stopped holding her breath and started breathing loudly, while gently patting her chest.
"Teacher Xiaoya, is that soul beast called a Chameleon Lizard? Is it very strong?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask, as it was the first time he had seen a soul beast that wasn't mentioned in the original story.
"In terms of strength, it's not much different from that Datura snake, but its excellent camouflage ability combined with its powerful tongue-flicking attack means that even Beibei can't dodge its sneak attack and can only take it head-on. The tongue-flicking attack is its main attack method, and its power is so great that even if Beibei is prepared, it will still get injured. Xiaoyuhao, you have done a great job this time."
An hour later, after a rapid journey, they finally returned to the stream where they had eaten grilled fish. This place was now dozens of miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest, and the danger was basically gone.
Huo Yuhao was once again drafted and, at Tang Ya's insistence, became a grilled fish chef again.
Beibei simply dipped his right hand into the stream, and a flash of blue-purple lightning appeared. A dozen or so blue fish, stunned by the electric shock, floated up belly to belly and were then pulled directly to the stream bank by his Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique.
Tang Ya also took out some food from her soul tool, and the three of them sat together and had a sumptuous dinner.
Tang Ya was in high spirits because she had gained her third spirit ring, so she ate a little more than usual. After eating her fill, she leaned against a big tree by the campfire and fell asleep. However, Huo Yuhao, who had actually gained even more, did not fall asleep. Despite his physical and mental exhaustion, he asked Bei Bei to guide him in beginning his first training of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
