"You can think of me as a Control-Type Battle Soul Master or a Strong Attack-Type. As for my combat power, there's no need to worry about that," Su Yu said as he demonstrated.

He activated his soul power, causing the Blue Silver Grass in his hand to grow wildly.

"Blue Silver Critical Strike Spear!"

The Blue Silver Grass intertwined and twisted together, forming a spear tip at the front and thrusting forward sharply.

Bebe clearly felt it—when Su Yu unleashed this soul skill, the Blue Silver Grass, which normally radiated life energy, seemed to instantly transform.

It wasn't that the spear tip felt particularly sharp.

It was the overwhelming aura that created an intense sense of pressure.

Bang!

The Blue Silver Grass struck a massive tree in front of them.

The tree, a meter thick, was pierced right through by the Blue Silver Grass.

Even after puncturing the tree, the grass kept going, eventually breaking through three more trees.

Gulp.

Huo Yuhao swallowed hard. Even Tang Ya and Bebe had serious expressions on their faces.

This terrifying destructive power was truly worthy of a Strong Attack-Type Soul Master.

Bebe was deeply shocked because he was certain that neither of Su Yu's two soul rings had even flickered.

Either he was concealing them through some special method, or this was a self-created soul skill!

And there didn't seem to be much need for concealment.

"Su little brother, that's enough. We understand your strength now."

Although Su Yu's target was a 5,000-year-old soul beast, and it had to be a plant-type beast without a requirement for attack power, Bebe felt they could still handle it.

The group searched the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest for half a day.

Whoosh!

A shadow flashed and lunged toward the four of them.

A purple gleam flashed in Bebe and Tang Ya's eyes.

"It's a Mandala Snake, and it's a thousand-year-old one! Bebe, I want it!" Tang Ya exclaimed in delight after recognizing the snake and determining its age.

Bebe had already completed his martial spirit possession.

On the other side, Su Yu reacted swiftly.

"Blue Silver Wall!"

Thick Blue Silver Grass shot up from the ground, intertwining to form thick, tree-like pillars. Several pillars lined up in front of the group.

Bang!

The Mandala Snake slammed into the wall and stopped abruptly.

The collision dazed the snake, giving Bebe an opening for his attack.

Bebe's right arm had already swollen, covered in dragon scales, with two yellow and one purple soul rings encircling it.

He activated his first and third soul rings simultaneously.

"First Soul Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"

"Third Soul Skill: Thunder Wrath!"

Although the Mandala Snake reacted slowly, it tried to dodge the moment it sensed danger.

The Blue Silver Wall instantly disintegrated, and the Blue Silver Grass twisted into thick vines.

"Blue Silver Bind!"

The thick vines wrapped tightly around the Mandala Snake, preventing its escape.

Bebe charged forward, lightning crackling fiercely around him, the sound of thunder bursting from his right arm.

Boom!

The Thunder Dragon Claw struck the Mandala Snake's head.

With a mournful cry, the Mandala Snake almost lost all signs of life.

But soul beasts are resilient, and Bebe pulled back at the last moment. Though the Mandala Snake was beyond saving, it could still live for a little longer.

"Xiao Ya!"

Tang Ya didn't have a chance to act before the Mandala Snake was subdued. She rushed forward and pulled out a soul tool dagger, stabbing it into the snake's vital spot.

Two hours later.

Tang Ya opened her eyes, her face full of excitement and joy.

"Yay, Bebe, I've become a Soul Elder!"

She repeated this in excitement, clearly thrilled about her advancement.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Teacher Xiaoya, on becoming a Soul Elder," Su Yu and Huo Yuhao also offered their congratulations.

"Now, we just need to find Little Brother Su's soul ring."

The four continued their journey.

Unfortunately, the age of the soul ring Su Yu required was quite high, making it difficult to find one on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

Going deeper into the forest, however, would be dangerous.

In Huo Yuhao's mind, Tianmeng Iceworm grew a little anxious.

The Iceworm wanted Huo Yuhao and his group to leave the forest as soon as possible, ideally not returning for months or even years.

He didn't even want to stay in the outskirts, let alone venture deeper.

"Yuhao, go to your left rear."

Huo Yuhao was startled by Tianmeng Iceworm's sudden direction.

He trusted Tianmeng, of course, but it struck him as odd since when Tang Ya had been looking for her soul ring earlier, the Iceworm hadn't offered any guidance.

Huo Yuhao didn't think too much about it, assuming that Tianmeng just happened to have a clue about the soul ring Su Yu needed after seeing them search for so long without success.

"Senior Brother, let's head this way."

Huo Yuhao spoke up, catching the attention of Bebe and the others.

"This direction leads closer to the Star Dou Forest's edge," Bebe said with a frown.

"I have a feeling we might find something there," Huo Yuhao attributed his reasoning to intuition.

"As a Spiritual-Type Soul Master, Yuhao's intuition is usually pretty sharp. Plus, staying in the outer area won't be any more dangerous than going deeper. Let's check it out," Su Yu suggested.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's guidance, Su Yu knew where the information was coming from.

Although he didn't know why that bug had decided to give directions now, having a clear path forward was always better.

After all, if the big bug was leading the way, it wouldn't be toward just any random soul beast, right? It was bound to be a good choice.

Following Huo Yuhao's direction, the group arrived at a valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, they could distinctly feel an intense, fiery aura.

"This is… Explosive Pepper!"

Bebe exclaimed, warning the others to be cautious as they slowly backed away from the valley.

"Explosive Pepper!"

Su Yu recalled the details about this soul beast.

It was one of the most unpredictable plant-type soul beasts, a fiery red, vine-like creature that could produce chili pepper-shaped fruits.

Each fruit contained an immense amount of life force and was in an explosive state, capable of detonating at any moment, causing devastating damage.

What made it so unpredictable was that its primary means of attack was the self-detonation of its fruits.

If one were strong enough, it would be easy to kill the beast before its fruits could explode.

Even if someone were weaker, they could still hunt it by carefully planning to avoid the fruit explosions and ensuring they weren't caught in the blast when the fruit detonated.

The fruits of the Explosive Pepper required time to gather energy.

It was difficult for the fruits to regenerate quickly.

Once the Explosive Pepper was left without its fruits, its vines had no offensive capability.

The only danger lay in failing to plan properly; if caught in an explosion, one could be seriously injured.

However, Su Yu's team had nothing to fear.

With Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection sharing, they could accurately track when the Explosive Pepper's fruits were about to detonate.

Su Yu had long-range attack capabilities and could manipulate the Blue Silver Grass with great flexibility, easily binding the Explosive Pepper.

Bebe's mastery over thunder attacks could trigger the fruits to explode even if the Explosive Pepper didn't cooperate, using an external force to set them off.

It was a perfect combination!
