The Soul Land 2

Chapter 5

After all, Huo Yuhao was still young. After just a moment of astonishment and nervousness, his mood turned into excitement. He finally arrived at his destination after a few days of traveling. When he thought about getting the soul ring for himself, so that he could truly become a soul teacher, he felt his blood boiling. Even though he was only eleven years old, he had already been cultivating bitterly for over five years, just for today.

In an excited state, he subconsciously increased his step speed. His movement speed towards the Great Star Dou Forest was also slightly tied up.

A somewhat strange feeling suddenly surfaced in his mind as he advanced forward. Huo Yuhao then felt a slight stabbing pain in his eyes, causing him to subconsciously transfer soul force into his Spirit Eye.

A weak stream of air circled around Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he seemed to see a shadow flashed on the left side of the road in front of him.

As an extremely rare type spiritual mutated martial soul, his Spirit Eye possessed an extremely powerful ability to sense danger. The immediate sense of crisis that Huo Yuhao felt caused his senses to immediately sharpen. He quickly lowered his body to the left, and used his right hand to quickly remove the White Tiger dagger from his waist.

A black figure flashed past the area he had previously visited. The area where he pounced was almost within the range of Huo Yuhao, which immediately allowed him to clearly see what it was.

It was a baboon that was about a meter tall. His body was covered in light brown fur, and his eyes were brown. It had two strangely long arms, and sharp nails on its claws. His canine teeth were exposed from his lips, and a savage light was present in his eyes. It immediately let out a low roar towards Huo Yuhao for failing to hit him. Then firmly stamped his hind legs, once again pouncing towards Huo Yuhao.

Although his Spirit Eye did not have an accommodating soul ring, his basic abilities were still quite good. After he poured his soul force into his eyes, the pouncing baboon's movements became much slower in his eyes. Huo Yuhao, who had previously fallen to the ground, quickly rolled to the right. He then jumped up and fell a few steps back, while simultaneously lifting the White Tiger Dagger in front of him.

The clear sound of his heartbeat echoing out, and his breathing clearly became breathless. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered a savage beast attack. The palm he used to hold the White Tiger Dagger was already covered in sweat, and his expression had also become somewhat empty, as he did not know how to react.

After the baboon missed two consecutive attacks, it seemed to become furious. His upper body lifted up, and used his fist to hit firmly on his chest, letting out a roar. At the same time, it suddenly opened its mouth towards Huo Yuhao. It immediately spewed out a ball of white light, which went straight towards Huo Yuhao.

Although Huo Yuhao had no experience, he could still see that his opponent was a ferocious beast now. There was still a certain distance between him and the Great Star Dou Forest, which was the reason why he was not prepared at all. With his current cultivation level, it was highly likely that he would suffer bad luck if he was hit by that ball of white light.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao's mind had already become empty. The ball of white light did not seem to be too fast when he saw it through his Spirit Eye, but in reality, the ball would arrive in the blink of an eye.

While spewing out a white light, the baboon also pounced on Huo Yuhao at an extremely fast speed, a savage light in its eyes.

Huo Yuhao had already lost the ability to think due to his nervousness. When the white light reached him, he subconsciously followed his instincts and carried the White Tiger Dagger in his right hand upwards, hitting the white light directly.

A strange scene appeared at this moment. By the time the white light collided with the White Tiger Dagger, the baboon had already arrived, and had stretched out a long arm in front of it, slashing onto Huo Yuhao's shoulder with sharp claws.

The baboon clawed at Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and utilized his sturdy body as well as the momentum from his raid to swirl in the air, in an attempt to violently throw Huo Yuhao down.

At the same time when it reached Huo Yuhao and attempted to knock him down, a white light flashed past his body. His body seemed stiff for a moment, and Huo Yuhao was thrown out instead of being thrown to the ground. On the other hand, the baboon rolled around on the ground for a bit, before stopping any further movement.

“Peng—” Huo Yuhao's body collided with a nearby tree trunk, then slid downwards. Everything in front of his eyes turned dark, and the sudden surge of pain caused him to lose the ability to breathe.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's appearance really did look extremely miserable. There was a long wound on his shoulder, and his jacket was almost torn apart.

However, he still managed to rise from his empty state in the midst of intense pain. His gaze unconsciously shifted towards the baboon lying motionless on the ground.

A faint white light appeared above the baboon. Slowly and gradually it began to condense into a white circle above his body. The halo was unclear, and the light was also only faintly visible. However, this still made Huo Yuhao gawk.

Soul ring? Is this a soul ring? Huo Yuhao was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and the wounds on his body did not seem to hurt too much anymore.

He had only learned the most basic meditation techniques within the House of Dukes, yet he had heard too much about ferocious beasts and soul rings. Almost every guard at Duke’s Mansion would talk about the topic often, but this was the first time he had seen her in person.

Could it be that it's dead? Huo Yuhao thought blankly to himself. The soul ring will only appear when the soul beast has died! But how did it die?

His Spirit Eye ability appeared at this moment, causing his memories to surge in his mind like waves.

The white light that the baboon released had struck the White Tiger Dagger, yet once that happened, the White Tiger Dagger suddenly emitted a light, suddenly absorbing all of the white light. This was also the factor that changed the most important moment of the battle.

According to the baboon instincts, a weak human like Huo Yuhao would definitely lose all of his combat power after being attacked by his soul skill. Then, he would lose at least half of his life from being hit hard to the ground. However, he never thought that his soul skill would be subconsciously neutralized by White Tiger Dagger Huo Yuhao. When flipping his body to throw Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao instinctively swung his hand upwards, causing the White Tiger Dagger in his right hand to naturally slash upwards as well.

Originally, the length of the White Tiger Dagger was not long enough to reach the baboon that had already soared into the sky. However, the White Tiger Dagger suddenly released a one-foot-long blade of light at that moment, which swept across the body of the baboon. It seemed to have turned the previously absorbed white light into a sharp blade. Although Huo Yuhao was unable to clearly remember where the dagger attacked due to his empty mind, something must have happened. That light sword must have cut through the body of the baboon.

I really won? Huo Yuhao looked at the white soul ring, but the excitement in his heart gradually faded. The soul ring was a necessary item for a soul master to rise through the ranks. However, not all soul rings were suitable for being absorbed by soul masters. Only soul rings that had high compatibility with soul martial masters could be absorbed, for the best results.
