Chapter 14
Huo Yuhao choose to tag along with the two, as he still have a whole three months for enacting his plans.
"Junior Brother Yuhao, thank you for accepting Tang Ya request. I know that she is selfish, but she is really a kind soul.", said Bei Bei. He felt bad for his junior. He could easily see how talented this brother of his was. 10 year old looking for his second ring was impressive, even by Shrek Academy scope.
"Hmm, I actually wanted to join, Senior Brother Bei Bei, don't mind it, really. If I didn't want to join, I won't give you any face, so relax.", said Yuhao bluntly.
Bei Bei smiled slightly, as he turned his head towards the blissful Tang Ya, wolfing the grilled fishes. He watched her tenderly, and his gaze was full of love and care.
Yuhao shot him a pitiful glance, as he continued grilling the fishes. He wasn't really interested in Tang Ya, but if a woman throw herself into his hug, he wouldn't be polite. He could only pray for his Senior Brother capturing he heart earlier, or he would ended up with a tragic tale like his Grandpa.
The trio finally ended their dinner, and decided to accede the forest, hopefully to find some suitable rings for either Tang Ya or Huo Yuhao.
"Small Yuhao, what is your martial soul?", asked Tang Ya with a cute expression, while fish scraps was still on her face. She wanted to inquire this, only to help him get a suitable second ring.
"I'm a mental attribute Spirit Mater with Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.", said Yuhao, as his senses were already expanded to kilometers of diameter around him.
"Cool!! No wonder your eyes are gorgeous!!", said Tang Ya with starry eyes.
Bei Bei watched with curiosity from the side, but his face was frowning.
"I'm actually a Dual-Essence Spirit Master. Charm Oriented Martial Spirit is my second one.", added Yuhao, as to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Wow!! My Disciple is a genius!! Don't worry, your teacher here will take care for you!", said Tang Ya, which accounted to a lot of misunderstanding in Yuhao's mind.
"No wonder! no wonder!!", Bei Bei kept muttering from the side. His frown was already dissipating.
As the three of them were delving deeper in the forest. Yuhao suddenly stopped, attracting their attention.
As the other two were still confused, Yuhao took Tang Ya in a hug, as his free right hand skillfully took his katana from its scabbard.
Ting!
The sounds of metal hitting each other resonated in the surrounding, as Yuhao proficiently deflected the fatal snake fang attack. Even the poison was easily taken care of, all, by a simple swing.
Yuhao elegantly back flipped due to the recoil, as Tang Ya delve deeper in his hug, while thinking of how 'cool' the scene was.
Bei Bei was finally brought out from his stupor, as his anger grew to a scary level. but soon he calmed down as he heard the cheerful voice of his beloved.
"It's a Mandala Snake! Wah, it's a thousand-year one too, this is too good! Bei Bei, I want this one.", Commanded the Sect Master, which brought a weary smile to Bei Bei's face.
He discreetly watched Yuhao enjoying his beloved body, and he could only blame this hateful snake on it!
His right arm had changed, and grow more thick and strong, as it was also covered in violet-blue scales. Lightning currents danced around him, while three soul rings appeared behind him.
2 Yellows 1 Purple!
Bei Bei let out a low roar, causing the first soul rings on his right arm to flicker. Under the strong undulations of his soul power, a foot-long violet-blue dragon claw condensed and shot out towards the Mandala Snake.
Sadly, The snake was really a crafty creature by birth, so it easily evaded his attack.
Bei Bei grow more enraged, as his second soul ring flickered with light, as thick web of lightnings attacks kept bombarding the snake.
Despairing, the snake started exhaling a pink toxic gases. The space around the two opponents seems to tremble due to the intense destruction.
Bei Bei hurriedly retreat, as he couldn't risk it, furthermore, he choose to believe in his intuition which screamed 'danger!'
The pink gas was a deadly toxin, but that wasn't all. It was actually a breath for the snake to prepare its next attack, while hiding in the thick pink gas.
Tang Ya watched Bei Bei with calm face, but her hands were intensely hugging Yuhao in nervousness. Yuhao sighed a little. He didn't want to show some overpowered power, decimating this snake. If he did so, they would start doubt him, which he wanted to avoid as their trust relation wasn't solid yet, so he come up with the most effective solution.
"Senior Brother Bei Bei, I'll help you with this.", said Yuhao from the back, as he activated his two skills.
A 'Fake' Purple Soul Ring appeared behind him, as it flickered with dim light.
Spiritual Detection + Spiritual Sharing.
The World changed in the eyes of both Bei Bei and Tang Ya, as they watched in shock a great part of the forest clearly depicted. They could even predict moves and easily defend against any sneak attacks!
That was simply, by far, the most 'Godly Support Ability' they have ever seen!! Yes 'Godly'!
Bei Bei let out a loud roar, as his purple soul ring flickered.
'Thunderous Fury', Bei Bei lightning attacks seems to gain a boost of 50%, taking the clueless snake by surprise, he easily tear down a huge part of its skin and internal organs, leaving it only with a single breath of life while the toxin seems to vanish losing a source support.
Tang Ya happily cheered. She patted Yuhao in his head with shining eyes, as she jumped towards Bei Bei taking him in a hug.
She skillfully took a knife, and ended the creature miserable life, as she sit cross-legged absorbing the purple ring.
Yuhao felt good somehow. He already have some great struggles, and even deadly fights with more scary beast spirits in the 4 years gap, Yet, it was the first time, he felt a 'sense of achievement'.
'Having comrades doesn't feel bad at all', thought Yuhao with a smile on his face.
Bei Bei turned his face towards his Junior. gazing at his smile, he tried to refrain from warning him not to approach Tang Ya, as he could already tell from his expression, how much he was happy with the victory, however, he still choose to confront him.
"Junior Brother, Your first soul ring is simply shocking! Your Support-Skill is Godly! I've never seen nor heard of something like this before.",said Bei Bei.
"I was lucky, having my hand on a rare Mental Attribute Spirit Beast.", answered Huo Yuhao.
"But the range is simply monstrous! Junior Brother, If I'm not wrong, you intentionally hugged Tang Ya. You could have warned us before, but you still choose to play the hero!", said Bei Bei with an angry tone.
"I don't know what Senior Brother talking about. It's not like I activate my skill all the time.", Yuhao flatly deny his Senior Brother without changing his expression;
Bei Bei didn't now what to say. After all, he was right, maybe he was overly sensitive?
"I'm sorry Junior Brother, I lost my composure for a second here.", Bei Bei apologized.
Huo Yuhao only thought. 'What a sensitive bastard!'
"Don't worry Senior, However, it would be good if you acted hurriedly, If you don't, I would feel sorry for you.", said Yuhao, as he turned away to leave.
He needed to get his second soul ring and maybe even the third. He already had his share of fun, it's time to power up.
His destination was clear, The Extreme North, Far Northern Plains
Huo Yuhao's silhouette soon disappeared in the forest, leaving behind a speechless Bei Bei.
Hours later, Tang Ya awakened from her meditation. She happily looked around, and was surprised that her disciple wasn't here.
"Where is Small Yuhao?", asked Tang Ya.
Bei Bei smiled weakly, as he told her what happened.
Tang Ya sighed, but somehow felt proud of herself. 2 handsome males fighting over her, and the most important, they are her disciples. Her eyes turned unfocused, as her fantasy was only clear for her.
Soon, she woke up, as she harshly spoke to Bei Bei.
"Let's go back, you will be apologizing for him! and what's wrong if he wanted to act hero. I allow it!", harrumphed Tang Ya, as she started leaving the forest while humming.
She couldn't wait to meet her handsome disciple. Bei Bei could only sigh as he was reminded by his junior last sentence.
'Now or Never', but he didn't dare.
