"Xiao San, I'll distract the Datura Snake, when the chance comes, use the dagger and aim at the vitals." Yu Xiaogong said, with a tremor of excitement at getting acknowledged by his disciple.
'Xiao San is right, this should be a 300+year soul beast judging by its length.
But why does this Soul Beast feel odd for some reason?
Well, no matter, just kill it first and think about it later.' He thought and started preparing his Soul Skills.
Tang san listened to Yu Xiaogong and waited, as he stared at the Datura Snake with vigilance, his purple demon eyes active.
'Although Teacher is weak it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with this Soul Beast.
But just in case, I should keep an eye out and help him if he is in danger.' He thought.
Yu Xiaogong, seeing the Snake not attacking, took the initiative and quickly reused his first Soul Skill.
"Fart like Thunder, Luo Sanpao."
Just like before the little crossbreed of dog/pig stood its ground, then it bloated and floated in the air for a second time, then it quickly turned around and released a fart at the snake, creating a shock wave which dispersed the poisonous mist.
The fart reached the Datura Snake the next second and the Datura Snake went flying and hit a few trees along its way before stopping.
Taking this chance, Yu Xiaogong prepared to release his second Soul Skill and shouted.
"Fart like Smoke, Hypnosis Luo Sanpao.
The Soul Skill hit the nearly undamaged Datura Snake who's eyes are turning red from anger, feeling insulted by the Soul Skill used on it.
Just as it was about to retaliate and teach the walking meat stick a lesson, it felt slight pain in its belly and disoriented, delaying its movements.
That slight delay caused it to be hit by the second Soul Skill and it felt nauseous as its eyes turned unfocused.
Taking this chance, Tang San used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to approach the Datura Snake and stabbed its mouth with the dagger and released a silent sleeve arrow in its mouth for good measure before scurrying back to his previous position.
The Datura Snake woke up with pain in its mouth and trashed around for a while before succumbing to its injuries and died unwillingly, its eyes red with hatred.
Slowly a yellow Soul Ring materialized on top of the Datura Snake.
"Good job Xiao San, go ahead and absorb it." Yu Xiaogong said as he noticed his disciple looking at him for permission.
Tang San nodded and quickly sat down cross legged on the ground and summoned his Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass then he directed the Soul Ring to surround himself.
He closed his eyes and started absorbing the Soul Power flowing into his body from the Soul Ring and started refining it.
Yu Xiaogong observed the absorption vigilantly, but seeing that the absorption was going smoothly, he dropped his vigilance and started examining the Datura Snake.
'Sigh, the Soul Ring absorption is going well. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if something happened to this child.
Come to think of it, this Soul Hunt went too smoothly isn't it.
This Datura Snake is not something I could handle alone, yet it didn't even get to attack once before it got killed.
Are we just lucky or this Soul Beast has a problem?' He thought with a frown in his face.
'And we are still at the outer edge of the forest, why did it appear here?' He thought as he started examining its body.
He suddenly noticed a bulge at its stomach, frowning, he took a stick to poke it, seeing no suspicious activity he took a dagger and slowly cut its stomach open.
A half eaten Ghost Wolf corpse rolled out of its stomach.
'Isn't this, the ghost wolf I scared off before?' He thought as he noticed a distinctive injury on its body that was left behind from his Soul Skill, which he noticed before.
'I see, so this unlucky Snake ate this wolf which got injured because of me not long ago, so it couldn't move too much.
That's why it didn't attack first and could only get passively attacked.' He thought as he reconstructed the clues.
Just as he was thinking about whether to take these two Soul Beasts,Tang San stirred, making his attention shift to him.
A few seconds later Tang San's hair turned black from its initial blue as he completed the absorption of the Soul Ring, He slowly opened his eyes, feeling energetic, he stood up with a smile.
'I can finally cultivate the second level of Mysterious Heaven Technique.
As I thought, I needed a Soul Ring to unlock the next level.' He thought as he clenched his fists filled with power.
"Teacher." He called out as he looked at his Father figure who cared for him all this time.
Yu Xiaogong smiled as he looked at his disciple, then put a hand on his shoulder and congratulated him.
"Congratulations Xiao San, you have officially became, a Soul Master." He said with pride in his eyes.
Just as Yu Xiaogong was about to ask for the Soul Skill he got, the both of them heard a sound and turned around and noticed the wild corpse rotting quickly.
Both of their eyes widened in surprise, but before they could react another snake "hiss" sounded, but this time, it's not just 3 meters but nearly 7 meters.
"Xiao San, run." Yu Xiaogong said before he started backing away while holding his disciple's hand.
