Chapter 7: First Cultivation and "Self-Created Soul Skill"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's diligence, Bei Bei naturally appreciated it. After draping her own coat over the sleeping Tang Ya, she once again explained some key points of the Xuan Tian Gong cultivation to Huo Yuhao and helped him begin meditating.
The Xuan Tian Gong's cultivation path is far more complex than Huo Yuhao's original basic meditation method, involving at least ten times more meridians. Many of these meridians were never even practiced by the original Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was naturally very excited as it was his first time meditating and cultivating his soul power, especially with such a powerful Xuan Tian Gong. However, he accidentally messed up his energy and almost caused a backlash from his soul power. Only after realizing that his mind was not calm did Huo Yuhao force himself to calm down.
To ensure Huo Yuhao's safety during his cultivation, Bei Bei sat cross-legged behind him, placing her hands on his back, and slowly channeled her own soul power into Huo Yuhao's body, guiding his soul power to begin its first cultivation session.
The guidance had barely begun when Bei Bei's expression turned serious. Only after the soul power entered Huo Yuhao's body did Bei Bei realize just how poor Huo Yuhao's physical condition was!
Huo Yuhao's meridians were very narrow, and in some places they were very thin. There were even signs of disorder at some places where multiple meridians converged, which made Bei Bei not dare to use her own soul power to clear them. She could only try to guide Huo Yuhao's own soul power.
"His meridians are in such poor condition, and the cultivation technique he used before was also very ordinary, yet he was able to cultivate to level ten at this age!" Bei Bei had an accurate assessment of Huo Yuhao's hard work and was even more satisfied with this junior brother.
Bei Bei, with his calm and collected nature, was not disappointed in Huo Yuhao upon discovering the problem; instead, he felt even more admiration for him. For Huo Yuhao's age to possess such unwavering resolve, even if his natural talent was somewhat lacking, he might still achieve great things in the future.
Through examining Huo Yuhao's physical condition, Bei Bei guessed that the reason Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul was so powerful was definitely related to a Martial Soul mutation. While the mutated Martial Soul was very strong, it had also caused significant damage to Huo Yuhao's body in his childhood. Without proper care and treatment, his talent had become what it is today. If he had received immediate medical treatment after birth, perhaps her junior brother would have been a genius.
Beibei's guess was only half right. The powerful Spirit Eye Martial Soul absorbed too much of Huo Yuhao's nourishment, which was one reason. The other reason was that even with multiple seals, the million-year soul ring would still put enormous pressure on the meridians, making the already fragile meridians even more unbearable.
As the dark sky gradually turned dark blue and a sliver of dawn appeared in the distance to the east, Beibei slowly withdrew her hands and let out a long breath. Her slightly pale face betrayed her exhaustion.
It took him an entire night to help Huo Yuhao clear his meridians and guide him through the first cycle of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. This process was extremely difficult, but it brought immense benefits to Huo Yuhao.
"Ugh—" A mouthful of blood spurted from Huo Yuhao's mouth, and he opened his eyes.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt as if all 36,000 pores on his body had opened up, and an unprecedented sense of comfort spread throughout his body. That mouthful of stagnant blood was the impurity of stagnant qi and blood in his meridians. After Bei Bei's overnight clearing, these meridians were finally unblocked. Even though these meridians were still thin and fragile, at least soul power could now flow, nourishing Huo Yuhao's cultivation in the future. It could be said that this had changed his physique to a certain extent.
Even though Bei Bei was an outstanding person among her peers and a Soul Venerable level expert, she was extremely tired after guiding and smoothing Huo Yuhao's mind.
"Junior brother, stand up and look east. Follow my guidance to circulate your energy and focus it in your eyes." Despite her exhaustion, Bei Bei shouted at Huo Yuhao while pressing her hands on his shoulders.
At this moment, Tang Ya, who was still fast asleep, instinctively woke up, sprang up, and sat down cross-legged next to Bei Bei.
The three of them opened their eyes wide and looked eastward, their eyes fixed on the faint purple aura, circulating their cultivation techniques to use the purple aura to cultivate the Purple Extreme Demon Eye.
The purple aura didn't last long; it completely disappeared as the pale light of dawn in the east was gradually covered by the rising sun.
The three of them then slowly closed their eyes and exhaled a long breath of stale air.
"How was the experience of cultivating the Purple Demon Eye?" After finishing her cultivation, Bei Bei was curious about what changes would occur when the Spirit Eye and the Purple Demon Eye were combined.
"Very good! Not only can I see more clearly and farther, but my martial soul spontaneously draws upon its soul power to merge with the purple energy, which feels cool and comfortable!" Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, as if savoring the feeling of cultivating the Purple Demon Eye. "By the way, I think I've discovered a new use for the Purple Demon Eye."
"What new use?" Tang Ya's ears perked up as she asked curiously.
"At that moment, that wisp of purple energy was autonomously fused with my martial soul and soul power, which negated the effects of my cultivation over the past few months. As a result, I had a surplus of mental energy for a brief moment, and that surplus mental energy was emitted in the direction my eyes were looking. Could this be considered a mental attack soul skill?"
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao's words successfully caught the attention of Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
Beibei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance. Beibei instantly understood and, after thinking for a moment, she used her soul power to draw some of her mental power to gather it in her eyes. As the mental power accumulated, Beibei opened a gap in the part of her pupil where the soul power containing her mental power was attached. In an instant, the accumulated mental power gushed out through this gap and rushed towards Tang Ya.
Tang Ya, who had been prepared in advance, raised her soul power defense and activated her Purple Demon Eye to deal with mental attacks.
The mental force impact quickly struck Tang Ya. Tang Ya felt as if her mental sea had been hit. However, as the sect leader of the Tang Sect, Tang Ya had been cultivating the Purple Demon Eye for a longer time. Although her soul power was not as strong as Bei Bei's, her mental power was slightly stronger. At this moment, she only felt a slight pain in her head and a slight dizziness. The condensed soul power shield rippled slightly and became somewhat unstable.
"Are you alright, Xiaoya?" Beibei asked worriedly as she saw Tang Ya pinching her brow to relieve her headache.
"It can indeed be considered a self-created soul skill of mental attack. Yuhao, you're truly a genius!" With the pain gone, Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with shining eyes. "It can definitely attack and interfere with the opponent, but the mental energy is rather scattered, causing the attack power to be dispersed as well. You just need to gradually familiarize yourself with and optimize how to use it!"
"And another thing, because the essence of this soul skill is to attack using one's own mental power, it can interfere with the opponent's mind and thus disrupt the mobilization of soul power. Furthermore, as the quantity and quality of mental power increase, the power of the soul skill will also increase accordingly!"
Huo Yuhao had also activated his mental detection early on to observe the effects of this casually mentioned soul skill, and discovered some shortcomings:
"However, there should also be drawbacks. This method of directly using mental power to attack can easily leave behind one's own mental aura. If the opponent's mental power cultivation is higher, they can directly use this aura to lock onto and launch an attack with their own mental power. It cannot be used easily against opponents with stronger mental power. In addition, it also requires strong eyes. Eyes are very fragile and cannot withstand too much mental power."
"That's pretty good too. With our Purple Demon Eyes, we already have an advantage in mental strength and the inherent power of our eyes. In battle, a surprise attack might just decide the outcome!"
"Alright, alright, we'll study these things back at Shrek Academy. Yuhao, why don't you meditate and cultivate for a while to consolidate your soul power? Also, Xiaoya, could you please prepare breakfast? I'll rest for a bit and get enough energy before we set off."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya's discussion was getting more and more intense, Bei Bei interrupted them to end the conversation. She had spent a lot of energy helping Huo Yuhao cultivate last night and had just used up so much mental energy. Bei Bei was really sleepy and needed to rest.
