The Skyshaking Roarâs opponent wasnât ordinary, either. The Skyshaking Roar wasnât huge, but its opponent was even smaller. It resembled a dog, but its limbs were extremely thick, and its shape was a little weird. There wasnât any hair on its body, and it was covered with scales. Huo Yuhao could sense soul power undulations coming from its scales using his Spiritual Detection, but didnât know the purpose of it. While it was small, it looked very fierce. Its face was long and ugly, while its fangs poked out past its lips.
What soul beast is this? A huge question mark appeared in Huo Yuhaoâs mind. He had never seen such a soul beast before!
Cai Meiâer was stunned as she said, âEh? Is this a Silverbrave Beast?â
After hearing the words âSilverbrave Beastâ, Huo Yuhao was lost. Even Zhang Lexuan was doubtful. Evidently, she didnât know anything about this soul beast either.
Wang Qiuâer looked at Cai Meiâer and nodded. She said, âIt is a Silverbrave Beast.â
Cai Meiâer was stunned, and lost her voice as she asked, âIsnât the Silverbrave Beast extinct? Why is it still present in the Great Star Dou Forest? If itâs the Silverbrave Beast, it canât easily be killed by the Skyshaking Roar. The situation is bound to change again. Letâs not get close to it. Yuhao, continue to monitor them.â
After she whispered her instructions, she led the rest of them to hide behind a huge tree.
Zhang Lexuan asked, âWhat kind of soul beast is the Silverbrave Beast? The academy doesnât seem to have taught us about it in the curriculum.â
Cai Meiâer nodded and answered, âYes, it isnât taught. While the academy does teach you about ancient existences and extinct soul beasts, it will only choose those that are representative. We usually wonât talk about the other extinct soul beasts. After all, they donât have any real meaning. The Silverbrave Beast is also rarely found in ancient collections. It has been extinct for a long time! It is similar to the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, in that it has poor reproductive capabilities.â
Huo Yuhao was still in the all-terrain self-driving fort, but he could hear Cai Meiâer clearly. An extinct soul beast? The Skyshaking Roar was evidently not the choice Wang Qiuâer had in mind for him. This meant that she had found the Silverbrave Beast for him.
Cai Meiâer continued. âStrictly speaking, the Silverbrave Beast is only considered a third-grade soul beast. However, it possesses an extremely strong innate soul skill which bumps them up to second-grade. Qiuâer, youâve seen it before?â
Wang Qiuâer nodded and answered, âYes. I even suffered under its hands. If not for my fortune, I would have⦠Thatâs why it left a deep impression in my mind. The Silverbrave Beast is an agile twin elemental soul beast. While its twin elements arenât particularly strong, its innate soul skill is extremely powerful. If one is careless, they will suffer greatly under its hands.â
Cai Meiâer nodded and said, âSeems like Huo Yuhaoâs luck is great today! These two soul beasts are great choices. Yongyue, while you are an agility-type soul master, the Skyshaking Roarâs all-around control and fighting talents will be very beneficial for your future development if you fuse with it. What do you think?â
Li Yongyue was already getting excited. When he discovered the Skyshaking Roar, he was already moved. That was because he could roughly guess that its soul skill wasnât suitable for Huo Yuhao. The Skyshaking Roar only appeared in the Core Region! Without Dean Cai accompanying them, it wouldnât have been easy for him to encounter it. Although his martial soul wasnât fully compatible with it, the Skyshaking Roarâs abilities could compensate for this shortfall.
He nodded without any hesitation as he agreed wholeheartedly!
Han Ruoruo asked, âDean Cai, whatâs the Silverbrave Beastâs soul skill? Tell us.â
Cai Meiâer replied, âI definitely meant to tell all of you, or I wouldnât have stopped you. The Silverbrave Beastâs innate soul skill is called Inscription, an extremely strong ability. Itâs able to inscribe its opponentâs soul skill and store it in its mind. When it needs it, it can use it. The most terrifying thing is that this Silverbrave Beastâs Inscription is completely done through its divine energy, and thus it wonât be affected by anything. When it unleashes its Inscription, itâll only be restricted by its own cultivation. The power of its soul skill is able to be unleashed completely.
âLet me give an example. If the Silverbrave Beast were fight against us, it would be able to inscribe Ruoruoâs Golden Skysurge and use it against her. If its cultivation were the same as Ruoruoâs, the strength of its Golden Skysurge wouldnât be any different from Ruoruoâs Golden Skysurge. If its cultivation were above hers, then the strength of its Golden Skysurge would actually be better! Against the Silverbrave Beast, itâs common to see your own soul skills used against you, and youâll be caught off-guard. Thatâs why I hope none of you use your fourth or above soul skills when you fight later, to prevent its Inscription from succeeding.â
After hearing Cai Meiâerâs explanation, Huo Yuhao felt his heart rate increasing. This Inscription was too powerful! This also meant that he could obtain this powerful soul skill if he managed to obtain the Silverbrave Beastâs soul ring. He could do the same thing as it then!
As he thought until this point, he quickly asked, âDean Cai, what is its Inscription limited by?â
Cai Meiâer looked at the huge metallic ball and nodded in her heart. Huo Yuhao didnât lose his composure because he was excited, but thought of a question instead.
âThere are indeed restrictions. It can only be used to inscribe one soul skill at a time. This also means that the Silverbrave Beast has to unleash the soul skill that it inscribed before it can inscribe another soul skill. According to historical records, there are also a limited number of times that it can use its Inscription. However, no one knows how many times that is. The only certainty is that it wonât be below three.â
Thatâs enough!, Huo Yuhao exclaimed in his heart.
Of course its Inscription had limitations. If the opponent wasnât strong enough, the ability that was inscribed wouldnât be outstanding anyway. It would be useless in a fight then.
However, humans were different from soul beasts! The Silverbrave Beast had to fight other soul beasts before it could complete an inscription. However, soul masters could communicate with their partners and inscribe their soul skills. The situation was different.
Huo Yuhao grew more excited as he thought of this. If he used it well, it could bring about surprising effects on his opponents.
Cai Meiâer added, âThe Silverbrave Beastâs Inscription isnât effective on everything. Unless its cultivation reaches a hundred thousand years, it wonât be able to inscribe the soul skills of a hundred-thousand year soul beast. Of course, this problem wonât exist once you become a Titled Douluo, if you manage to obtain this soul skill. You should really thank Qiuâer! This is a huge gift. No one knows whether a second Silverbrave Beast will appear on the continent ever again.â
Wang Qiuâer said, âThere should be more than one in the Great Star Dou Forest, but they are very rare. They all live in the Core Region. Iâve seen them twice nearby. There should be more than one.â
Cai Meiâer revealed a smile on her face and said, âThatâs great! Honestly speaking, I donât wish to see soul beasts go extinct even though thereâs conflict between us and them. If the proposition on Spirits that Huo Yuhao mentioned can be realized in the futureâ¦â
As she spoke until this point, she paused for a moment and looked at Wang Qiuâer. She said, âRegarding Spirits, youâll know when you return to the academy. They will be tested on the inner courtyard students first.â
Wang Qiuâer revealed a stunned look on her face and said, âThe academy has found something to replace soul rings?â
Cai Meiâer shook her head and said, âItâs not the time to talk about that now. Although it isnât a complete substitution, it can possibly mediate our relationship with soul beasts if it succeeds. Itâs about time. Letâs get ready to fight.â
On the other side, the intensity of the fight between the two soul beasts had reached its peak. Even though they were around two kilometers away, they could still sense waves of soul power undulations coming from afar.
Wang Qiuâer was slightly astonished at this point. Replacing soul rings? What kind of ability is that? It sounds like itâs related to Yuhao...
However, the main mission for everyone now was to take care of these two soul beasts. No one would bother answering her questions.
Cai Meiâer whispered, âIâll move forward later. Lexuan, bring Li Yongyue along with you and make a roundabout through the left. Ruoruo, proceed from the right to cut off their escape route. Yuhao, can Mo Xuan enter your soul tool? You, Dongâer, and Qiuâer will be responsible for the left side.â
âNo problem.â Huo Yuhao opened the vehicle, and Mo Xuan got in.
Mo Xuan was filled with curiosity when he entered the self-driving fort.
Huo Yuhao turned to smile at him and said, âBrother Mo, I can teach you how to control it in the future if you are interested. The most attractive part about changing from a soul master to a soul engineer is that it can make someone like you, who isnât very offensively inclined, much stronger.â
âIâm interested. Iâm very interested!â Mo Xuan replied without any hesitation. There was a burning look in his eyes.
When Huo Yuhao spoke to Cai Meiâer earlier, she wasnât the only one who was moved. Mo Xuan was the one who was the most agitated.
As an auxiliary-type soul master, he was protected on the battlefield by the rest of his teammates. When he saw the countless barrels that appeared on the self-driving fort earlier, he was completely roused. If there was something like this to protect him, he would no longer be a burden to the rest of his teammates on the battlefield!
