Chapter 83 As Planned
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the group's expressions varied. Zhang Lexuan and Wu Ming already knew Huo Yuhao to some extent, and Chen Lu trusted him greatly, so they all chose to accept his mind sharing. In the next instant, the surrounding environment was presented to the three women from every angle.
With the help of Huo Yuhao's external brain, all the details were quickly organized, archived, and shared with the three people who received the information from Huo Yuhao.
"This is... a divine skill, isn't it?" Zhang Lexuan's eyes were filled with shock, and Wu Ming and Chen Lu also looked at Huo Yuhao as if he were a monster, remaining silent for a long time.
The three boys from the outer courtyard, who were initially quite hostile towards Huo Yuhao, exchanged glances after hearing the three girls' words. Some were curious, but others were reluctant, and they followed Zhang Lexuan and the other two in accepting Huo Yuhao's mental sharing.
Deathly silence
The prejudices that the three older brothers from the outer courtyard had against Huo Yuhao crumbled instantly under the boost of such outrageous support skills!
Anyone with such abilities should befriend such a being, unless they're completely insane; they should never befriend them. Just as Yan Shaozhe said before, Huo Yuhao, with his ability to share mental detection, is a born leader among Soul Masters!
Yu Ming, Chang Jie, and Song Shijing's expressions softened instantly, and they even glanced at Huo Yuhao with a hint of flattery, all thinking of taking the initiative to say some sweet words to please him.
But the first of the three to show a cold expression was Song Shijing, who said, "Brother Huo's abilities are simply miraculous! Not only have I never heard of them, but even my old folks wouldn't have. Amazing!"
The other two burly men, Yu Ming and Chang Jie, quickly chimed in, "Shi Jing is right! Brother Huo is indeed amazing!"
Seeing these three guys suddenly change their tune and start fawning over her, Wu Ming rolled her eyes, snorted coldly, and turned her head away, looking down on them.
The three of them froze upon seeing the senior student's blunt reaction.
However, Huo Yuhao wasn't the type to slap someone who was all smiles. He smiled gently and said, "The seniors are exaggerating. Junior is just showing off with his soul skills. When it comes to the application of spiritual power, I'm still far behind the real experts."
Before the three could reply, Wu Ming, always straightforward, slapped Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "Yuhao! Promise me, let's not spout these disgusting platitudes anymore. You sound like an old man! It's giving me goosebumps!"
"Pfft!" Zhang Lexuan, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Huo Yuhao vaguely saw that the usually dignified senior sister had a slight blush on her face, which was quite beautiful.
Zhang Lexuan immediately noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze beside her, and quickly covered her mouth, coughing lightly twice, saying, "Alright, everyone, stop fooling around. Let's continue on our way."
Seeing that their leader, the senior sister, had spoken, everyone quickly replied in unison, "Yes!"
The core area of the Starry Sky Forest.
Beside the shimmering Lake of Life, a slender, silver-white figure sat serenely on a wooden chair woven from the roots of ancient trees. Her ethereal, amethyst-like eyes gazed westward towards the Starry Sky Forest, and she murmured softly, "Have they arrived?"
A three-eyed spirit beast, resembling a lion dog with brilliant golden fur, slowly rose from beside the beautiful figure's legs. It gently rubbed its eyes with its strange golden dragon claws, muttering somewhat groggily, "Master, who's here?"
The silver-white figure, addressed as "Master" by the soul beast, glanced indifferently at the little creature beside her legs, raised a hand to stroke its shimmering golden, crystal-like fur, and said gently, "Auspicious Beast, do you remember what I told you before?"
The three-eyed golden lion blinked its three eyes, gently nodded its lion head, and replied in its clear, melodious female voice, "I remember."
The silver-white figure gently continued to rub her lion's head, saying, "After a while, listen to my instructions and proceed according to plan."
The three-eyed golden lion rubbed its hand against the silver-white figure with a hint of enjoyment, and lazily said, "Understood, Master!"
Huo Yuhao and his group quickly crossed the outer edge of the forest and headed towards the mixed zone, finally stopping at a flat area with a wide view.
Zhang Lexuan turned around and said, "Everyone, take a break first. We'll be going deeper into the outer edge of the mixed zone soon. Decide what kind of soul beast you need and then tell me."
After listening to what Chen Lu and the others said, Zhang Lexuan nodded, kept it in mind, and then told Huo Yuhao the same thing, reminding him to pay attention later.
After a short rest, the group continued their journey. With Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao working together, they quickly made progress.
Not far away, on a lake, a crane with white feathers all over its body and pale blue from the neck up is fighting with a rhinoceros with rough gray-brown skin and a pale yellow horn on its head.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Chen Lu and Yu Ming and said, "A five-thousand-year-old water crane and a five-thousand-year-old one-horned earth rhinoceros. What do you two think?"
The two immediately showed joy and nodded quickly. This age limit was already very good for them, who had above-average aptitude. Any longer, like six thousand years, would probably be risky for them to absorb. Five thousand years was just right.
The Water Cloud Crane and Chen Lu's Spirit Water Crane are exactly the same type and their attributes match perfectly, so she had no reason to refuse.
Yu Ming, who possesses the Vajra Ruler Martial Soul, only needs a Soul Beast that emphasizes both hardness and strength. This 5,000-year-old One-Horned Earth Rhinoceros possesses both qualities perfectly. Although it is not a particularly rare Soul Beast, it is just right.
Seeing that they had no objections, Zhang Lexuan immediately released her soul power. With the assistance of Huo Yuhao's mental detection, her aura instantly locked onto the two unfortunate soul beasts.
The next moment, the bright white moonlight flashed by and disappeared, and Zhang Lexuan's figure vanished from the spot.
With the aid of his mental detection, Huo Yuhao clearly captured the movements of the inner court's senior sister. With just a simple application of soul power, Zhang Lexuan's legs instantly unleashed incredible speed!
In the few short seconds that the two soul beasts were completely unaware, Zhang Lexuan's fists swiftly and accurately struck their vulnerable spots.
"Snap!"
After two crisp cracking sounds of bones breaking, Zhang Lexuan returned, carrying the Water Cloud Crane by its wings in one hand like a chicken, while supporting the broken spine of the One-Horned Earth Rhinoceros upside down with her other hand. Her heroic figure resembled that of a Valkyrie.
Everyone, including Wu Ming and Huo Yuhao, was stunned. They never expected that their usually dignified and gentle senior sister would have such a violent side.
"Thump!"
Zhang Lexuan casually tossed the two unlucky soul beasts in front of Chen Lu and Yu Ming, clapped her hands lightly, and said, "Absorb them."
Chen Lu and Yu Ming exchanged a glance, then looked up at Zhang Lexuan's signature gentle smile. A chill ran down their spines. They swallowed hard, nodded hastily, and immediately drew their daggers, freeing the two miserable fellows from their misery.
