Chapter 4 Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm? Eat this ball!
"No...it's you!"
Tang Ya stared wide-eyed, pointing at Jiang Yi, momentarily at a loss for words.
How can there be such a person with such low emotional intelligence in the world?
I am the sect leader, and you are doing this to my face... But then she felt a little dejected, realizing that what he said was indeed the truth.
Jiang Yi blinked, showing no embarrassment whatsoever; it was just a small test of Xiao Tang's loyalty.
As you know, I've always admired my third brother!
"Me... um?"
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, a wave of spiritual energy suddenly came from afar, covering the forest for dozens of miles around.
All living beings swept by this mental fluctuation were instantly impacted, and Tang Ya and the others were stunned in place.
But in the next instant, that mental fluctuation subsided as quickly as the tide.
"Heavenly Dream!!!"
Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat. Before he could greet the two, his figure flashed and disappeared into the ground like a bolt of lightning.
After a few breaths.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei had just woken up from that sense of confusion, but Jiang Yi had already disappeared from their sight.
"Huh? Why did they run away...? You don't have to be so surprised if they didn't join, do you?"
Tang Ya rubbed her forehead, looked at the empty forest, and rolled her eyes with a hint of resentment.
She subconsciously assumed that Jiang Yi had used some special method to cause her mental confusion earlier, and didn't think much of it.
"Xiaoya, you should absorb the spirit ring first!"
Beibei glanced deeply in the direction where Jiang Yi had disappeared, then looked away and pointed to the mandrake snake beside her.
That guy didn't kill the datura snake directly, but deliberately left it alive; he was quite a clever person.
"Um!"
Tang Ya nodded and stepped forward.
She approached the unconscious datura snake, took out her ancestral dagger, and ended its life. A strange purple soul ring rose from the corpse.
Tang Ya sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring, while Bei Bei stood guard beside her.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Somewhere in the forest, a legendary wind baboon fell.
"I did it!"
The girl released the white tiger dagger stuck in the wind baboon, collapsed to the ground, and trembled with excitement.
Before her, a ten-year-old wind baboon had forever lost its chance to kill a god, and a white soul ring floated on its corpse.
"This is a spirit ring? It's amazing... Once I absorb it, I'll be a true spirit master."
Despite the pain in her body, Huo Yutong got up from the ground and limped over to the wind baboon.
She looked at the fallen wind baboon and the white spirit ring, and a genuine smile appeared on her face.
A ten-year-old soul beast is at the lowest level among soul beasts, but for a little girl like her, it is almost invincible.
"However... unfortunately, this attribute is wrong!"
Huo Yutong suddenly sighed again, a conflicted look on her face.
From the battle just now, she could clearly feel that this wind baboon was a wind-attribute soul beast, which was not a good match for her martial soul.
Although she was born to the White Tiger Duke's maid, her mother had previously taught her some knowledge about Soul Masters.
Soul rings are essential for Soul Masters to advance, but not all soul rings are suitable for Soul Masters to absorb. Good soul rings can bring great benefits to Soul Masters.
However, just one ten-year-old wind baboon almost sent her to meet her mother. Huo Yutong couldn't guarantee that she would be so lucky next time.
"Why……"
After struggling for a long time, Huo Yutong finally sighed and slowly walked forward, preparing to absorb the spirit ring.
There was nothing she could do; she was just an illegitimate daughter who had been expelled from the Duke's mansion, and it was already a stroke of luck that she managed to obtain a soul ring.
Huo Yutong understood that she had to survive before she could talk about the future, and she wasn't too resentful about it.
"Mother……"
Huo Yutong bit her lip and reached out to the ten-year soul ring.
However, at that moment, a majestic voice suddenly rang in her mind.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world... I never thought that I would still have a trace of my soul remaining."
A stream of gray energy shot directly into her brow, and the next moment, a figure radiating a golden halo materialized in her spiritual world.
"Who are you?"
Huo Yutong felt a tremor in her heart as she sensed the terrifying figure in her mind, and a sense of fear rose from the depths of her soul.
It's not just fear of the unknown, but the instinctive fear of those in a lower position facing higher beings.
"It's a girl, no need to worry."
Electrolux looked at the two intertwined forces within Huo Yutong's soul, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
—The power of light and darkness?
"We are destined to meet; I am merely borrowing this precious space for a short while..."
After saying that, Electrolux's figure gradually faded, turning into a gray seed that disappeared into the depths of the spiritual world.
"..."
Huo Yutong fell silent. The next moment, her consciousness was kicked out of the mental world and she returned to reality.
What's going on?
She felt a little confused.
An unidentified luminous object suddenly took up residence in her mind, which reminded her of stories from folk tales.
"senior?"
Huo Yutong blinked and cautiously called out in her heart.
But no matter how she called out, that voice never appeared again, and she had no choice but to give up.
After all, given the methods the other party displayed, she had no ability to resist and could only hope that the other party meant no harm.
"Let's absorb the spirit ring!"
Huo Yutong shook her head, composed herself, and prepared to continue absorbing spirit rings.
Anyway, she had nothing.
She had nothing to lose; if it could help her get revenge, she was willing to risk her life.
She looked at the white spirit ring in front of her once again, but at that moment, another unexpected event occurred.
Rumble!
Suddenly the ground trembled, and the land in front of them cracked open—a physical crack.
Cracks spread across the ground, gradually forming a deep fissure from which countless golden-white rays of light shone.
"Hehe! Little sister, your big sister is here! Finally, I've met someone with some kind of spiritual attribute..."
A slightly lewd voice rang in Huo Yutong's ear.
"Who?"
Huo Yutong gripped the White Tiger Dagger tightly, her eyes flashing with two beams of light, one gold and one dark, her heterochromatic eyes fixed on the crack.
These are her martial soul eyes, and also her mutated martial soul.
As she watched, the crack widened, and a round head crawled out of it.
It looked like a silkworm, its body shrouded in a thin layer of icy mist. The moment this ice silkworm appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped dramatically.
"A hundred... a hundred-year-old soul beast!"
Huo Yutong's heart skipped a beat; the anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally subsided.
With such a large body and the power to control ice, it can probably only be a legendary hundred-year-old soul beast.
Senior...please help me!
Huo Yutong felt a sense of despair, and kept calling out the name of the figure from before in her heart.
Under the pressure of the soul beast in front of her, she couldn't even take a step, let alone escape.
"What hundred-year-old soul beast? I'm a legendary... divine beast! I can punch Emperor Tian and kick Snow Emperor!"
Upon hearing Huo Yutong's exclamation, the silkworm tilted its head in a human-like manner, its tone full of pride.
"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with you mortals. You'd better just obediently become my pet! Hehehe!!!"
Without a word, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm began to writhe, its massive body slowly approaching Huo Yutong's desperate gaze.
She dared not delay any longer; if Di Tian and the others noticed and took her back, she would be in deep trouble.
"No! Don't come any closer!!!"
Huo Yutong screamed in terror, but her struggles were like a little girl throwing a tantrum in front of a million-year-old soul beast.
With a savage charge, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm charged towards her like a white wild boar weighing over 200 pounds.
——It’s over!
Huo Yutong stared in despair at the ever-expanding white shadow, her delicate body trembling instinctively with fear.
It'll probably break if it's that big...
"I'm sorry, Mom! I can't get justice for you."
A gentle image appeared in Huo Yutong's mind, and two lines of clear tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
An extreme chill enveloped Huo Yutong, causing her to instantly lose consciousness.
But at that moment, the gray seed that had been dormant in her mind trembled slightly, and the mental suppression that Tianmeng had been shrouding nearby was instantly broken.
"What is it?"
Tianmeng froze, looking at Huo Yutong with surprise and uncertainty.
Just now, she actually sensed a terrifying spiritual force emanating from this little girl.
Just as she hesitated whether to take action, a purple sphere suddenly flew out of the forest and headed straight for its forehead.
"Um?"
Tianmeng glanced at it, unconcerned, and casually flicked out a mental shockwave, intending to knock it away.
Just a human kid...
However, the next moment, her eyes widened as the purple sphere pierced right through her mental attack.
"wrong!"
Tianmeng was startled, but it was too late. The purple sphere had already fallen and hit her squarely on the forehead.
clang!!!
A crisp sound rang out. The purple sphere emitted a white light, like a vortex, and began to pull Tianmeng's body away.
"No--!!!"
Tianmeng cried out and unleashed its full mental power, but no matter how it resisted, it was ultimately swallowed by the white light.
The purple ball bounced three times on the ground before finally settling down.
At this moment, Jiang Yicai slowly walked out from the bushes and picked up the Master Ball from the ground.
Little Tianmeng, take it!
