Chapter 188: The Hunt for Soul Rings Begins (1)
Archer's arm moved with lightning speed, using "dimensionality" to launch a fierce attack on Wu Heyi in the distance.
In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, the sound of metal clashing was deafening, and the clanging and banging echoed throughout the forest, startling the birds into scattering in all directions.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, five minutes had quietly slipped away.
Just then, Wu Heyi, who had been on the defensive, suddenly raised his hand and shouted:
"Alright, you can stop now. I have a pretty good understanding of your situation!"
Upon hearing this, Archer reluctantly put away his weapon and stood still, but his eyes still shone with excitement and agitation.
Wu Heyi turned his gaze to the young man in front of him who was still full of energy, and he already understood in his heart that the reason why Archer was so unable to control his emotions was entirely because he had just obtained a new and powerful power and was too excited for a moment, so he was temporarily unable to adapt to and control this sudden change.
After calming himself down a bit, Wu Heyi turned to look at everyone and slowly began to speak:
"Since everyone is here, I might as well ask, have you ever heard of the term 'soul skill'?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, their faces showing bewilderment.
Although the term "soul skill" was new to them, for some reason, each of them had a vague sense of déjà vu.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Wu Heyi continued to ask:
"You've consumed so many spirit rings before, hasn't any of you gained any special abilities from them?"
"Special abilities?"
One of the shorter members murmured these words softly, his gaze somewhat unfocused as he stared ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something important, a strange light flashed in his previously dull eyes.
"Brother Wu, is this what you mean?"
As the question was asked, the shorter member slowly raised his right hand, palm up.
In an instant, a small orange-red flame appeared out of thin air in his hand, as dazzling as a blooming spark.
Wu Heyi stared intently through the unique visual aids of his armor, and the flame appeared to grow directly from the man's palm, without any sense of abruptness.
However, he knew very well that the reason why the flames could continue to burn without going out was entirely because the man's hands were continuously outputting a mysterious power—soul power!
Wu He nodded, a satisfied smile on his face, and answered affirmatively:
"That's right, that's it! I never imagined that someone among us would have mastered such an amazing ability."
Upon hearing Wu Heyi's praise, the short member's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He thought to himself that he had possessed this ability to control flames for quite some time, having been able to use it skillfully for several years.
Moreover, this matter is not a secret in the tribe, and many people are well aware of it.
However, at that time, because he was not yet proficient in controlling the energy in his body called soul power, it was quite difficult to mobilize it each time. Therefore, the power he could display was quite limited, and he could only create extremely weak flames on his hands.
Even so, whenever the tribe organizes a night hunt and needs to light a fire or bonfire, everyone will still ask him for help.
However, at this moment, soul power can be freely mobilized!
This breakthrough thrilled him, especially when he discovered that the flame in his hand could be manipulated at will according to the amount of energy input, which filled him with an indescribable excitement.
Moreover, at that moment, a strange idea suddenly popped into his mind: how to transform the raging flames into various different forms.
Unfortunately, although he possesses these wonderful ideas, he is not yet able to truly master the use of this ability.
After all, it is not easy to fully master and utilize such skills.
"Please look at the flame in his hand. I'm sure you all know that this is not an innate talent, but something he learned through some means, right?"
"That's right, in my opinion, it must have been an epiphany he had after using numerous fire-attribute spirit beast spirit rings!"
Wu He, with a solemn expression, gave a brief explanation to everyone. Then, he looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and continued:
"In fact, among you, there must be some people who have similar experiences or abilities to him."
However, because you are a group of people sharing a single spirit ring, the inherited power becomes dispersed and not concentrated.
That's why many of you, despite possessing potential, are unable to use and apply the skills as freely as he did!
At this point, Wu Heyi paused briefly, giving everyone some time to think and digest the information.
Then, he took a deep breath and announced in a firm tone:
"Next, we will continue our journey of hunting soul beasts."
At the same time, I will do my utmost to teach you how to effectively acquire soul skills, and help you understand the cultivation levels and advancement paths required of a soul master!
Before he finished speaking, Wu Heyi nimbly began to remove his armor, as if he was ready to face a new challenge at any time.
Although removing the armor would cause Wu Heyi to expend a great deal of his three powers, the proportion of this expenditure has been greatly reduced due to his significant increase in strength!
However, within this hunting team, Wu Heyi unexpectedly discovered that there were one or two support-type Soul Masters among them.
So he summoned the two men to his side without hesitation and solemnly asked them to act as his temporary protectors.
To everyone's delight, the two men were unusually excited upon hearing the news, their faces beaming with undisguised joy.
With all members of the hunting team successfully awakening their respective martial spirits, their strength experienced another qualitative leap.
As a result, the hunting area they could access has also undergone tremendous changes—what was originally just a five-kilometer radius extending outward from the village has now expanded to a full fifteen kilometers!
In this way, the area available for searching and exploration instantly becomes vast and boundless.
At the same time, thanks to a significant improvement in their five senses, they are able to be aware of subtle movements in their surroundings, allowing them to move more calmly and confidently through the mountains and forests.
The days of walking on thin ice and proceeding cautiously are gone; in their place comes a swift and steady pace, like a gust of wind.
In this way, their movement speed increased dramatically compared to before.
