"Little Brother Yuhao? What happened? You seem a bit distracted." Bei Bei asked Yuhao who suddenly stopped in place for a moment "Ah! Big Brother Bei, nothing, I was just a bit surprised at my Soul Skill." He admitted truthfully as he quickly kept up with Tang Ya and Bei Bei who nodded with a thoughtful look.
'To make Little Brother Yuhao himself felt shocked at his Skill.... I'm curious.' Bei Bei thought as he kept walking.
Meanwhile, Yuhao was not being lazy as his Eyes of The King were currently active as he used Hell's Vision to observe the flow of Soul Power in Bei Bei and Tang Ya's body which was different from his own in the fact that theirs went through multiple meridians in a certain path but for some reason, it didn't touch many of the meredians that he could see, as if the technique was actually incomplete.
'Brother Skydream....is it just me or....?' Yuhao asked Skydream mentally as he shared his vision to Skydream who nodded 'You're correct Yuhao, although their techniques are multiple times better than those of some Title Douluos I've seen but.... it's incomplete. As if someone deliberately destroyed part of it while letting it still be better than most techniques.' Skydream answered as Yuhao quickly copied the pathways of their Soul Power circulation with the help of Skydream who despite his looks was actually very smart.
'Yuhao, I'll try simulating what'll happen once we explore the other meridians as well, I think I can guess it but....um.... it'll probably take me a week or so to get it perfectly correct.' Skydream said slightly embarassed because he had boasted that he'll understand such simple things easily.
If Tang San or the Original Tang Sect ever heard what Skydream said, they'd cry because even they couldn't do it in such a short time, they'd maybe even take generations to optimize a skill.
'But, um....you can use the original skill now though!' Skydream added as Yuhao nodded and then switched the viewing to his own body as he followed the path of the cultivation technique. His eyes widened as he felt the practice speed which had already been increased more than ten times increase nearly twice and he suddenly focused as he felt a tug in his mind.
'Yuhao! What are you doing?!' Skydream asked in shock as Yuhao suddenly changed the pathways completely as he also included the Meredians that had been cut off from the technique before and multiple miscellaneous meridians. 'Brother Skydream....I feel like I should be doing it like this!' Yuhao replied as his eyes flashed a Gold Cross of Light as Skydream pursed his lips and nodded because he understood, it was the Martial Spirit that Yuhao had gained or perhaps Yuhao's own instinct that made him change the pathway.
And as Skydream had expected, the moment the last meridian was connected, the new and completely different technique began to work automatically as it increased Yuhao's cultivation speed by around 4 times.

The mechanical voice rang again as Yuhao raised his head and the gold cross in his eyes seemed to deepen in colour as the Red Panel only he could see appeared infront of him.

[Soul Points: 1]
'Soul Points?' Yuhao thought in confusion as he suddenly received a stream of information from the System as it called itself. Soul Points could be earned by killing Spirit Beats or Humans and the number of Soul Points depended on the strength of the enemy killed. Soul Points could be used to increase the skills proficiency and strength, the age of the soul ring, unsealing the bloodline he had, awakening his Martial Spirits again and Soul Master Level as well.
According to the System, his Soul Power Level and Spiritual Power level had been merged by the System and his Martial Spirits.

'Nevermind, I can level it up later.' Yuhao directly ignored it as he continued learning knowledge about Soul Masters from Bei Bei.
"Big Brother Bei-" Yuhao called as he grabbed Tang Ya's hand and Bei Bei's shoulder, stopping them from going forward "-There's an enemy." Yuhao said as Bei Bei and Tang Ya were confused but nevertheless became wary and got into fighting stances.
"Little Brother Yuhao, can you tell me where the enemy is?" Bei Bei asked but Yuhao directly released his Eyes of The King as his eyes now had a golden circle around his pupils which merged to form a golden cross as his Soul Ring lit up "Big Brother Bei, Big Sister Xiao Ya, relax your minds and let me in." Yuhao said as they although still a bit wary did as told.
Bei Bei's and Tang Ya's eyes widened in shock as their vision suddenly changed to a three dimensional type and they could see and understand nearly everything within a radius of 100 meters and the Spirit Beast was even marked with a red outline for convenience.
"This-!?" Bei Bei was once again shocked as he looked at Tang Ya and saw the same emotions in her eyes, they both understood the absolute significance of such a Soul Skill in battle, such a skill itself would make Yuhao coveted by all Academies, Sects and Kingdoms without even having to mention the Martial Spirit's full power that he'd shown them earlier.
Yes, Tang Ya and Bei Bei considered the King Of Hell and Eyes of The King to be the same Martial Spirit and that Eyes of The King was the partially activated form rather than another Martial Spirit.
"It seems to be a Datura Snake...." Bei Bei said after the shock as he observed the Spirit Beast that was like a huge snake and was hiding on the tree while coiled on the branch "...It seems around 1,200 years to 1,800 years old from its scales and the pattern on its body." Bei Bei said as Tang Ya's eyes brightened "Bei Bei!" Tang Ya called as Bei Bei nodded
"Yes Xiao Ya, it's at the perfect age for your Soul Ring." Bei Bei smiled as he then took a deep breath as blue purple lightning burst out from his body and a lightning blue colour spread from his forehead as his arms swelled and his sleeves burst to show a huge arm with blue scales covering it and lightning concentrated on one end.
He burst forward at high speed to the place where the Datura Snake was hiding and hit its body with a thunderbolt, launching the snake out as he then used the tree as a foothold and jumped, chasing after the snake as Yuhao and Tang Ya followed from behind.
Tang Ya looked at Yuhao who was easily keeping up with her while she and Bei Bei were using the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Tang Ya shook off her surprise as this was in the middle of a battle as she also jumped onto a tree as she used her Soul Skill Bind and bound the Datura Snake, directly throwing it at Bei Bei's attack path as Bei Bei easily hit the Snake onto the ground while it's body convulsed from the shock.
"Big Sister Xiao Ya! Hurry and kill it." Yuhao said as he appeared near the Snake and suddenly his eyes glowed red and gold as the Datura Snake suddenly shrieked in pain as it directly fainted from the pain, Yuhao had used Hell's Gaze on it, he just knocked it out and didn't burn it's Mental Space.
"Huh? How'd you do that Little Yuhao?" Tang Ya asked curiously but Bei Bei who had returned to normal with torn sleeves appeared next to her and lightly flicked her forehead as she smiled embarassed and then killed the Datura Snake by stabbing it with a dagger and a purple ring began to condense as Tang Ya sat cross legged and began to absorb the Soul Ring.
Yuhao and Bei Bei stood near Tang Ya as they protected her while she was absorbing the Soul Ring "Little Brother Yuhao....can you tell me about how you knocked down the Datura Snake?" Bei Bei asked curiously then immediately regretted as such things are usually secrets of Soul Masters.
"Oh.... It's a self created Soul Skill." He lied after hearing Skydream suddenly scream in his head to tell that it's a self created Soul Skill and he obeyed. "Self... created?!" Bei Bei once again fell into deep doubt about life while also once again agreeing with himself how correct his decision to recommend Yuhao was.
While Bei Bei was doubting life, Yuhao was looking at his Soul Points in confusion as it had suddenly increased by around 140. He once again felt a stream of information and his jaw would have dropped if Bei Bei wasn't near him.
He could apparently gain Soul Points no matter who killed the opponent as long as he was in the area within the first hour because otherwise the soul would dissipate after an hour unless it was a creature with a strong soul, which would mean the Soul Points although less, can still be earned.
'Yuhao, have I ever told you how much of a cheat you are?'
