Chapter 114: Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng Acquired, Hu Bai and Bai He's Speed Contest!
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, a cold glint flashing in their eyes. If Bai He continued to be so tactless, they wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson on Hu Bai's behalf.
Hu Bai would be the good guy, and they would be the bad guys!
Anyway, on the continent, they already had a notorious reputation.
Bai He looked at the 30,000-year Soul Bone before him, his throat bobbing. Yang Wudi, beside him, had gleaming eyes; this Soul Bone was also suitable for him!
A Saber-toothed Tiger's Soul Bone, and a right arm bone at that. It would undoubtedly boost the attack!
As for its attribute, it was also a great match!
The Soul Breaking Spear was of the Metal attribute, and this Saber-toothed Tiger also possessed the Metal attribute, though it was a secondary one.
Yang Wudi transmitted his voice to Bai He: "Old White Bird, if other forces—stronger than you—knew you possessed such a valuable item, would they exchange it with you in this manner?"
Bai He gave a bitter smile. He understood this principle without Yang Wudi needing to say it.
As Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Bai was very intelligent. Bai He no longer dared to treat him as an ordinary child.
He sighed; Hu Bai's actions had completely changed his perception of Spirit Hall.
He took one last look at the Immortal Herb in his hand, then used his soul power to send the box to Hu Bai: "I don't want your Soul Bone. I only hope that if my Speed Clan joins your Spirit Hall in the future, your Spirit Hall will treat them well and allow some of my clan members to transform into agility-attack system Soul Masters."
Evidently, Bai He chose the second condition and directly handed the Immortal Herb to Hu Bai, without relying on the outcome of a match.
Although the possibility of losing to Hu Bai in a match was very small, Hu Bai was Bibi Dong's disciple and Qian Daoliu's chosen son-in-law, which surely indicated his extraordinary talent. Befriending him now would ensure smooth sailing in the future.
"Since Senior Bai He says so, I will accept this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. However, let's continue the match. Within the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, we'll fight at the same cultivation level. Let's see if you can catch me. You must also be curious about my strength, right?"
Qian Renxue transmitted her voice: "Xiao Bai, are you confident? The Speed Clan excels most at speed, and you..."
Hu Bai's lips moved slightly: "Don't worry, Sister Xue, I have a bit of confidence."
If he were facing Bai He at his peak, he naturally couldn't contend; he would probably be caught in an instant. But if Bai He suppressed his cultivation to match his, then he would have a complete victory!
"Hahaha, good, let me see your strength!" Bai He chuckled.
Subsequently, everyone cleared a space for their match.
Qian Renxue took out a stick of incense from her Soul Guidance Device, lit it with Angelic Flame, and directly inserted it into the ground.
"Alright, begin!"
Bai He let out a low roar, releasing his Needle Tailed Swift. Eight soul rings also appeared on his body—an rank eighty-one Soul Douluo!
Among the four single-attribute sects, it was clear that Yang Wudi was the youngest and had the lowest soul power, yet his strength was the strongest.
Hu Bai also released his Martial Soul, a massive, snow-white Nine-tailed Sky Fox appearing behind him, and on Hu Bai's body, one yellow, one purple, and one white soul ring emerged.
The color of this third soul ring also made them slightly stunned, but they didn't believe Hu Bai's third soul ring was truly a ten-year one.
If they really thought it was a ten-year one, then they must have lost their minds.
Hu Bai had Spirit Hall backing him. Since his second soul ring could be a thousand-year-old one, his third soul ring should also be several thousand years old. How could it be a ten-year soul ring?
It's a trick!
Hu Bai took in the expressions of Bai He and Yang Wudi. As expected of those with experience, they wouldn't mindlessly question his third soul ring.
"Hmph, little fellow, you need to be careful!" Bai He reminded him, his third soul ring rising. Then, wings sprouted from his back, and he flew directly into the air!
Hu Bai was only seven years old, yet he was already a three-ring Soul Elder. This truly astonished them and made them glad their choice was correct.
However, Bai He's lips curled slightly. Since the opponent was a three-ring Soul Elder, he could just use his third Soul Skill.
Generally speaking, Soul Masters with bird-type Martial Souls would have a flying Soul Skill as their third soul ring, which greatly enhanced their agility and speed!
Shui Bing'er: What are you saying? Why don't I understand?
Speaking of which, Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul was clearly an Ice Phoenix, yet she didn't have a flying Soul Skill in the early stage. It's unclear if this was intentional.
Flying soul skills were very important for Soul Masters with bird-type Martial Souls.
Unless the Martial Soul's quality was exceptionally good, one needed a soul ring to fly.
And in the Douluo Era, perhaps only the Qian family qualified to fly without absorbing a flying Soul Skill.
After all, it was a God-given Martial Soul. If a Martial Soul of such quality still needed to rely on a flying Soul Skill to fly, that would be too trashy.
After Bai He flew into the air, he spread his wings and flew towards Hu Bai at an extremely fast speed!
As for how much strength he exerted, it was seventy percent!
And merely seventy percent of his speed, brought by Martial Soul possession and his third soul ring, was already terrifying. In the blink of an eye, Bai He had already arrived in front of Hu Bai and extended his right hand.
He got him!
Bai He actually felt a slight sense of disappointment. He had thought Hu Bai had some trick, but he was about to be taken down so easily.
But the moment Bai He was about to grab Hu Bai, Hu Bai disappeared from his original spot, reappearing ten meters behind him.
As soon as the match began, Hu Bai had already activated Spiritual Detection Sharing.
He didn't rely on his eyes to track Bai He's movements; he wouldn't have time to react that way.
Although he possessed the same Tianmeng Iceworm ability as Huo Yuhao, due to their different Martial Souls, the power of this Soul Skill varied slightly.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing often relied on what his eyes saw, then shared what he saw with his teammates.
Because his Martial Soul was an eye, his dynamic vision was extremely abnormal, allowing him to use it this way.
But his Martial Soul was the Nine-tailed Sky Fox. Unless he used his 'Heavenly Eye,' he wouldn't be so foolish as to use his eyes to track Bai He's figure.
This method was too foolish for him.
His Spiritual Detection Sharing was the outward release of mental power centered on himself, forming a regional radar.
This was the true usage of Spiritual Detection Sharing!
Huo Yuhao also seemed to use it this way in the late stage, but his late stage was Hu Bai's early stage.
Therefore, Bai He's figure appeared to be in slow motion within Hu Bai's Spiritual Detection. The moment he approached, he teleported away.
"Spatial ability? Your Martial Soul actually possesses spatial power? Is this your reliance? No, that's not right. Even with spatial power, you need to react in time. It seems your mental power is also extraordinary!"
Bai He's eyes narrowed slightly, and he adopted a stance: "I'm going to get serious!"
