Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Chapter 4: The value of the mandala snake and the future direction

Although this howl is indeed very cool, this operation can only be used when fighting against low-level soul beasts.

After all, soul beasts that are more than ten thousand years old have strong intelligence, and some of them can even speak human language.

However, the Mandragora Snake obviously did not belong to any of them. With a low roar, it suddenly exploded from Beibei's body, and Beibei's third soul ring and first soul ring flashed at the same time.

Then his whole body emitted a strong blue-purple electric light, and his already extremely strong right arm became even bigger. At the same time, the scales on his right arm began to spread to his body.

The scales spread until they covered the right half of the body. Beibei's aura soared and his soul power was stimulated to the peak.

At the same time, a huge suction force emanated from Beibei's palm, and the Mandragora Snake at this time flew towards Beibei uncontrollably because of its injuries and the paralysis caused by the alien soul power that was blocked in its body.

Bei Bei's right claw was also covered with a Thunder Dragon Claw that was a full circle larger than the previous Thunder Dragon Claw. Just when Bei Bei was about to succeed, Huo Yuhao spoke again.

"Brother Bei, be careful of its head." Upon hearing this, Bei Bei's face changed and he quickly turned sideways, while the soul power output of his right palm did not decrease at all.

At the moment of life and death, the flower bud on the top of the mandrake snake's head suddenly burst open, and then a pink blood arrow shot out.

However, due to Huo Yuhao's advance warning, the bullet only brushed past Beibei's body and fell to the ground. If Beibei had not received Huo Yuhao's warning and dodged in time, the situation of the battle might have been reversed.

Beibei looked at the ground stained with pink blood, which was then dyed pink with a sizzling sound. A few drops of cold sweat flowed down Beibei's forehead.

Because Huo Yuhao reported the location in time every time, he was a little relaxed just now, but he forgot that in addition to the basic abilities of binding, fangs, and poison mist, the Mandragora Snake may also mutate other poison-attribute soul skills.

He completely let down his guard and almost fell into a ditch, which is a normal thing that happens when soul masters fight.

In a tense battle, intelligence is life, and the battle between extraordinary people is nothing but the crushing of absolute strength.

The core of the battle is actually an intelligence war. I can understand as much intelligence as you have and calculate what means you can use. I can guide you step by step to act in the right direction and take the battle into my own hands step by step.

When you abandon all your own strengths and fall into your own battle rhythm, then even if there is a gap in strength between the enemy and me, as long as it is not a crushing victory, the chances of winning the battle will be determined.

Because some battles seem to be fifty-fifty, or even have only a very small chance of winning, but when all the factors in the battle, including the time, place and people, have been calculated before the battle.

Then there is no winning rate in such a battle. There is only one possibility, and that is 100% victory. This is the core logic of the battle.

At this time, the Mandragora Snake had completely exhausted its tricks. With the help of Controlling Crane and Capturing Dragon, Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw tightly grasped the Mandragora Snake's vital point. Then, under the terrifying thunder and lightning, the Mandragora Snake was directly paralyzed.

Tang Ya hurriedly stepped forward, and a flying knife about half a foot long appeared in her hand. It pierced through the brain of the mandrake snake at the snake's eye, ending the life of the thousand-year-old mandrake snake.

At the same time, a circle of purple light emerged from the body of the Mandragora Snake. It was the Millennium Soul Ring.

At this time, Huo Yuhao also put away his martial spirit. This final thrilling scene was naturally instigated by him.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao would have instructed Beibei to focus on the tumor on the head of the mandrake snake at the beginning, and this was naturally done to show Beibei his value.

Because the easier the victory is, the less it will be cherished. Only when the situation is turned around at the critical moment will it be remembered.

At this time, Bei Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down the snake corpse, and let Tang Ya absorb the soul ring. He took care of the injuries on his body.

Although Huo Yuhao had given him advice and detoxification pills in previous battles, the Mandrake Snake was extremely poisonous after all, and he still needed to use his soul power to force out the remaining poison in his body, which could not be eliminated by detoxification pills and could only be suppressed.

Bei Bei then thanked Huo Yuhao who was standing beside him: “This battle is all thanks to Brother Huo. If it weren’t for your previous reminder, I would have been seriously injured by the mandragora snake’s poison when it was fighting desperately.”

"Combined with the other attacks by this mandrake snake, this battle was extremely thrilling."

"Could this be your soul skill, Brother Huo, that can see through other people's movements?"

Beibei smiled gently, with a hint of inquiry in her words: "Well, I don't want to pry into your privacy, but you are really capable and talented."

"If you have the chance, even if you don't consider joining the Tang Sect, you should go to Shrek City with us and try to join Shrek Academy. Only in Shrek Academy can your talent be fully displayed."

Beibei said so. After all, such an ability is very important in a battle, especially in a ring battle with a small number of people, whether it is a duel between two people, three people, or even seven people.

If the friendly side has an extra scout who can see through all the enemy's actions and provide solutions, then the strategic significance is extremely important.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Well, I have also considered this along the way. It is still too early to join a sect. If possible, I will try to join Shrek Academy, but I don’t have a letter of recommendation from the city lord."

"That's easy." Beibei nodded. "In fact, in addition to the mayors of other cities, Shrek City itself can also issue letters of recommendation, but it's not issued by the mayor, but the soul master needs to pass the assessment of Shrek City."

"Moreover, the recommendation letter obtained in this way will have a higher gold content in Shrek Academy. At the same time, it can also be used to waive part of the tuition and miscellaneous fees. Relatively speaking, it should be more suitable for you, little brother Huo."

"However, although your martial soul and soul skills are very good, you don't have any offensive soul skills. You are a soul master who prefers mental power and auxiliary systems, and your physical fitness is not good. It will not be easy for you to pass the assessment of Shrek City."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao also understood the other party's implication. In fact, he was still using Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, to lure him into joining the Tang Sect. After all, Shrek Academy would accept all types of soul masters.  

But to be honest, they prefer soul masters of the strong attack, agile attack, and control types. As for soul masters of the auxiliary and food types, although they accept all of them, they don't pay much attention to them.

"Well, Brother Bei, let me think about it again."

Bei Bei did not continue to ask Huo Yuhao any more questions, but instead began to teach Huo Yuhao relevant knowledge about the Mandrake Snake.

For example, the comparison between the appearance of the Mandragora Snake and the years of cultivation of the other party, as well as the ecological niche of the Mandragora Snake and the possible soul skills, etc.

Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly. He was a newcomer and his predecessor, Huo Yuhao, had been a servant’s son for many years and was trapped in the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion. It could not be said that his knowledge was quite scarce, but it could be said that he did not even know a lot of common sense in the spirit master world.

Previously, Huo Yuhao had been on his way and exploring his own martial spirit, so he had no chance to ask Beibei questions. At this moment, Huo Yuhao quickly seized the opportunity and
confided to Beibei some of the doubts in his heart that he could express.

Bei Bei was also happy to answer Huo Yuhao's questions. After all, they still wanted to abduct, oh no, it should be said that they were inviting Huo Yuhao to join the Tang Sect.

More than an hour passed before Tang Ya finally absorbed her third soul ring.

This is because Tang Ya's physical fitness is not outstanding, and her martial soul is not excellent either, so it takes a long time to merge with the soul ring of the Mandragora Snake.

The compatibility between the Blue Silver Grass and the Mandragora Snake itself is not very good, so it takes a longer time to run in and adapt to the process. Absorbing it as the third soul ring is just a habit passed down by the Tang Sect.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also got to know more about the world of soul masters. Not to mention the naked law of the jungle, it can only be said that there is no social structure at all, and it is a world completely supported by the strong and fists.

But it is not surprising. After all, Douluo Star has been like this for tens of thousands of years under the supervision of the God Realm, and it is very difficult for soul masters.

"Beibei, I succeeded! What were you and Xiao Yuhao talking about?" Tang Ya said happily. With the urging of soul power, three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from under her feet.

At the same time, a bunch of blue silver grass grew out at her feet. In addition to the original blue skin, pink lines grew on the leaves of the blue silver grass. This was the change caused by the third soul ring.

After thousands of years of inheritance, although the martial soul is still blue silver grass, the blue silver grass of Tang Ya's Tang Sect bloodline is very different from the blue silver grass of ordinary soul masters.

The long-term selection of specific spirit rings has also caused their Blue Silver Grass martial spirits to undergo a certain degree of directional mutation, especially for the spirit rings produced by some spirit beasts, which have special bonuses, such as the current Mandrake Snake.

After Tang Ya cheered, she suddenly hugged Bei Bei, and Bei Bei also hugged her lovingly. Huo Yuhao, who was standing by, coughed lightly and said, "Brother Bei, Sister Tang, it's getting late. Should we leave here first?"

At this moment, Tang Ya seemed to remember the existence of Huo Yuhao, the light bulb. Her face turned slightly red and she quickly ran out of Bei Bei's arms. Then she said to Bei Bei coquettishly, "Bei Bei, it's all your fault!"

Bei Bei also quickly put on a gentlemanly look and said, "Brother Huo is right. We have wasted a lot of time. Although this is the territory of the thousand-year-old mandragora snake, we cannot rule out the possibility that other soul beasts will appear here."

Tang Ya also calmed down, and then said: "Then let's go back to the place where we met little Yuhao before."

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something and said, “Are we not going to take the body of this mandragora snake with us? I heard that the flesh and materials of the soul beast can also be sold for money in the major soul master trading places in the city.”

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both stunned when they heard this, and then Bei Bei said, "Although this is true, the whole body of the mandragora snake is extremely poisonous and cannot be eaten by soul masters. Even if you bring it to the city, the most you can do is extract the toxins from its body, which is not worth much money."

 Huo Yuhao's forehead was full of black lines. These two young masters and young ladies naturally looked down on such a small profit, but he did. After his original self, a poor guy, came out of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he didn't have many copper coins on him.

Now I am really in a situation where money makes a hero fall. Although the corpse of the Mandragora Snake is not as valuable as the corpses of other soul beasts, it is still a thousand-year-old soul beast after all. Should I be so disrespectful of its contribution? The Mandragora Snake will cry!

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still wearing his clothes, Bei Bei understood what was going on. With an awkward smile, he quickly dealt with the body of the mandrake snake and put it into the storage soul guide.

Afterwards, the three of them quickly rushed to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, and finally returned to the stream where Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya and Bei Bei had first met and grilled fish before nightfall.

Then, under Bei Bei's attack, more than a dozen green carps were easily stunned by his thunder power, and then became the dinner for Huo Yuhao and the other two. Naturally, Huo Yuhao was the chef this time.

Because he inherited the memories of his original body and had the experience of his own life before the time travel, Huo Yuhao had no problem handling a few grilled fish, and soon everyone was satisfied with a sumptuous dinner.

In addition to the grilled fish, Beibei and Tang Ya also took out some other food from the storage soul guide.

Huo Yuhao could see through his true eyes that the energy contained in these foods was far richer than that of ordinary foods.

"Is this the resource of Shrek Academy?" Huo Yuhao also understood the reason why Tang Ya and Bei Bei did this. They wanted to tempt him in all aspects through these high-energy foods.

"But it is true that my current foundation is still too poor, and I have no money. Perhaps joining the Tang Sect is the best option now."

"As for Tang San, joining the Tang Sect does not mean that I have to follow Tang San's plan. Gods belong to gods, and humans belong to humans. Maybe I can make the Tang Sect become my own force after I grow up completely."

"After all, there are only Bei Bei and Tang Ya left in the Tang Sect now. However, it is not appropriate to respond immediately. We need to find a suitable opportunity and pack up our belongings first. It is time to talk to Heavenly dream Ice Silkworm."

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao threw away the almost eaten food in his hand, sat by the campfire and said to Bei Bei and Tang Ya: "Brother Bei, Sister Tang, I have consumed a lot of mental and spiritual power today. I am so tired. Can I rest for a while?"
