This incident also made Huo Yuhao understand why Ye Lingling was so reliant on him; the little girl was too sensitive.
At the back of Sky Dome Peak, in front of the bamboo house, a silver vortex stood upright, slowly rotating. The vortex was two meters in diameter and filled with mysterious spatial energy.
Whoosh! A figure shot out from the spatial vortex. Immediately afterward, the spatial vortex rapidly shrank, and shrank again, until it finally disappeared.
"Phew, I really got carried away," Huo Yuhao wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. During this time, he had gained a deeper understanding of spatial power, to the point where he opened a space gate today and attempted spatial teleportation.
However, the facts proved that he had gotten a little ahead of himself. Huo Yuhao was certain that if he had been a few seconds late coming out, he might have been torn to shreds by the chaotic spatial storm.
"I still need some time," Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. However, it wasn't entirely without gains. Although he couldn't achieve medium-to-long-distance spatial teleportation now,
he could perform short-distance spatial jumps. This spatial jump was similar to a teleportation soul skill, but unlike soul skills, Huo Yuhao had comprehended spatial power, so as long as his soul power wasn't depleted, he could continuously use it. There was no cooldown time like a soul skill.
However, space jumping also had its limitations. It could only be used over short distances, currently around two hundred meters. This range would increase as Huo Yuhao's cultivation improved and his understanding of space power deepened.
In the evening, Huo Yuhao knocked on Ye Lingling's door.
"Big brother?" Ye Lingling was wearing a set of loose, pale yellow pajamas today. This little girl's personality had changed a bit recently. Before, she would only wear black clothes, and her entire wardrobe was full of it.
"Lingling, can I come in?"
"Ah? Oh, oh, come in, big brother." Looking at Huo Yuhao's gentle smile, Ye Lingling's face inexplicably flushed.
"Big brother, do you need something?" Ye Lingling ushered Huo Yuhao into the room and poured him a cup of tea.
"Well, the Continental Elite Battle Tournament is about to begin. This time it's being held in Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire. We're leaving tomorrow. Want to come out and have a look with me?"
"Yes! Yes! Lingling wants to go with big brother!" The little girl was overjoyed at the thought of going out to play, her excitement evident.
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. It seemed the little girl had been feeling cooped up these past few months. "Well, I'm here for another matter."
"Oh, oh, Big Brother, what is it?"
"Come with me," Huo Yuhao said, then walked to the bed. Ye Lingling's room was entirely pink and white, and the bedsheets were also pink, radiating a strong girlish vibe.
Huo Yuhao didn't treat himself as an outsider and sat cross-legged on the bed after taking off his shoes.
"Come, sit in front of me." Huo Yuhao patted the bed in front of him.
Ah!
Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed red. Her small hands clutched at the corners of her clothes, unsure of what to do. "Th-that, Big, Brother, can you, can you wait another two years?"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
What did this girl think of him? He didn't have any of those thoughts about her, but judging by her words, she wouldn't resist if he actually did something.
Hearing her words, Huo Yuhao actually had some thoughts, but of course, he wasn't a beast who would take advantage of the little girl right away.
"Lingling, I'll teach you a technique to temper your body. Sit down in front of me."
"Oh, oh, okay."
Ye Lingling realized she had misunderstood, and was so ashamed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She fidgeted and climbed onto the bed, sitting cross-legged in front of Huo Yuhao.
After Ye Lingling sat down, Huo Yuhao began to explain carefully, "This method is somewhat similar to my previous Lightning Body Tempering Technique. You could say it's a simplified version of the Lightning Body Tempering Technique. You practice this first, and when your body is stronger, I'll use lightning to help you temper it."
The simplified version of the Lightning Body Tempering Technique was thus named Soul Power Body Tempering Technique.
"Okay, I'll listen to Big Brother." Ye Lingling nodded obediently.
"Alright, next I'll guide you with my soul power, you need to observe carefully." After saying this, Huo Yuhao released his soul rings, activating his first soul ring skill, Mental Detection, Mental Sharing.
The next moment, Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes widened. In her mind, a three-dimensional image appeared, outlining everything in the room, including herself. What was even more magical was that she could clearly see the flow of soul power within her body.
Is this big brother's soul skill? It's amazing, Ye Lingling thought to herself. This kind of skill is even stronger than X-ray vision, right? Right, X-ray vision.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingling's face flushed again. Could big brother really see through things? Doesn't that mean he might have already seen everything?
Huo Yuhao, of course, didn't know what this little girl was thinking. Spiritual detection and X-ray vision were somewhat similar, but they were two completely different things. Under spiritual detection, one could only see soul power and bones; there wasn't even color. What fun was that?
"Lingling, what are you thinking about?" An hour later, Huo Yuhao helplessly withdrew his soul power. He had personally channeled his soul power into Ye Lingling's body to guide her, plus the visual aid of spiritual detection, but this girl still couldn't learn it.
This was very unusual. Just a few days ago, Huo Yuhao had taught this technique to Lin Xi in the same way, and that guy had succeeded after only two tries.
Ye Lingling's talent wasn't bad either, with innate level eight soul power, so why couldn't she learn it?
"Lingling, your mind is in a mess." Huo Yuhao sighed softly. Looking at the persistent blush on Ye Lingling's cheeks, how could he not guess what she was thinking?
"Forget it, we'll try again another day." Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say at the moment, so he could only give up.
In the Bright Battle Mountains, at the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, the Shrek Inspection Team, escorted by Chicken Leg Douluo Xuanzi, had located their target based on information provided by the Star Luo military: a den of Evil Soul Masters.
Inside a certain cave, the main Shrek team members showcased their overwhelming strength against bandits and Evil Soul Masters whose strength didn't exceed that of a Soul Ancestor.
The most outstanding were the two Soul Emperors, Dai Yaohang and Ma Xiaotao, who took the lead, crushing the enemies in front of them with their overwhelming power.
White Tiger Meteor Shower! Phoenix Meteor Shower! White Tiger Meteor Shower! Phoenix Meteor Shower!
It couldn't even be called a battle; it was a one-sided slaughter, more like clearing out trash, like a burly man with a knife bullying unarmed civilians.
Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, and Xixi intercepted some of the stragglers trying to escape the cave. Gongyang Mo released skills to support his teammates, while Ling Luochen, holding a staff, held the rear and protected Gongyang Mo.
Pfft!
One lucky bandit managed to dodge the double meteor shower bombardment, but was unlucky enough to be caught by Dai Yaohang, his entire body torn in half by a giant tiger claw.
The strength of the Shrek Soul Emperor experts was terrifying.
This scene churned the stomachs of the Shrek Academy's provisional team members, who hadn't seen much bloodshed, but it also deeply impressed them with the strength of their senior classmates.
Xu Sanshi's face turned pale. It's over... he thought. Senior Ma has no restraint. I'm going to be drained again. Every time Ma Xiaotao ropes me in, it feels like I lose ten years of my life. The past is best left forgotten.
Outside the cave, in a wild mountain area, Xuanzi, looking like a beggar, leaned against a tree, taking sips of wine and bites of meat. His small life was incredibly comfortable and pleasant, without a worry about the students' safety. Hah, Shrek is invincible.
Just as the Shrek Academy's elite members were in the heat of battle, a sharp scream came from deep within the cave, "How dare you oppose me, the Death God's Messenger! You will all die and become my corpse slaves!"
"Hehehe, watch me send you all to heaven!"
