Chapter 12 Just a fluke
Looking at Xiao Yan who was about to be swallowed by the Mandrake Snake, Tang Ya's pupils suddenly contracted, and two circles of yellow soul rings rose from under her feet.

"The first soul skill, blue and silver entanglement!"

Without any warning, dozens of thick blue silver grasses suddenly emerged from under the mandrake snake, then quickly coiled up and tightly wrapped around it.

However, in the next second, with a bang, the blue silver grass vines wrapped around the mandragora snake were broken at the same time, turning into grass debris and flying everywhere. The mandragora snake pounced towards Xiao Yan again.

"Teacher!" He called out softly, but received no response from Yao Lao. Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, and the fighting spirit in his palm suddenly shot out towards the Mandragora Snake. With the help of the reverse thrust caused by this force, he retreated violently.

Looking at Xiao Yan who was retreating rapidly, the Mandragora Snake did not give him any chance at all. It bounced its body lightly and caught up with him again.

"It seems that I can only give it a try. It's a good opportunity to try out the so-called million-year soul skill." Without getting a response from Yao Lao, Xiao Yan could only mobilize the soul power in his body and inject it into his spirit eyes. The next second, a faint golden light suddenly appeared in his deep blue eyes.

"The first soul skill, mental detection!"

Under Xiao Yan's gaze, everything around him seemed to slow down, and everything around him became extremely clear. Wherever his eyes reached, a large amount of information would instantly appear in his mind. At the same time, even the attack of the Mandragora Snake became extremely slow, as if pressing the pause button for the world.

"Is this soul skill so perverted?"

"You're too slow..." A black shadow flashed before the mandrake snake could react. The young man's gentle voice rang out behind it: "You're looking for an easy target, but unfortunately, you've found the wrong person!"

As a cold shout sounded behind him, a fierce force suddenly appeared behind the Mandragora Snake.

"Baji collapse!"

The cold shout in his heart made Xiao Yan's fist suddenly tense. His smooth sleeves were rustling due to the fierce fighting spirit. His fist shrank, and then suddenly stretched out. In a short distance, the fierce power carried by his fist burst out instantly.

"Bang!" The dull explosion continued to echo in the forest. The long-lasting sound seemed a bit harsh.

Xiao Yan had an expressionless face as he smashed the Mandragora Snake's vital point with his right fist. The powerful energy leaking out from the sole of his foot directly created a crack on the ground where he was standing. The thousand-year-old Mandragora Snake was blown away by his punch, with pink blood spurting out of its mouth, splashing all over the ground.

After obtaining the million-year soul ring of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Xiao Yan's physical fitness also improved a lot. Otherwise, with his current strength, if he used Baji Collapse twice in a row, the muscles in his arms would most likely be torn directly.

"This...how is this possible?" Looking at the scene in front of them, Beibei and Tang Ya were stunned where they were, with a look of disbelief on their faces, and said in a trembling voice.

"One punch? Knocked him away? Didn't Brother Xiao Yan just obtain his first spirit ring? And what kind of spirit skill did he just use? It was so powerful!" Tang Ya covered her mouth in shock, her face full of disbelief.

At this moment, Bei Bei took out a sharp blade from the soul guide he always carried with him and threw it to Tang Ya, shouting: "Xiao Ya, hurry up and put an end to this beast."

Hearing this, Tang Ya naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. She took the sharp blade with one hand, stepped on the ghost shadow and quickly rushed towards the Mandragora Snake that had been beaten half to death by Xiao Yan's punch, and then ended the life of the thousand-year-old Mandragora Snake with one knife.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was safe and sound, Bei Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The lightning on his body slowly converged and returned to its original state. At the same time, a circle of purple soul rings slowly condensed from the head of the mandragora snake and coiled up.

Tang Ya looked at Xiao Yan excitedly and said, "Thank you, brother Xiao Yan. I am just in need of a thousand-year spirit ring to advance. This mandala snake is just right for me."

"Beibei, help me protect the law." After saying that, Tang Ya sat cross-legged next to the thousand-year-old mandragora snake. A blue light shone from her right hand. She raised her hand slightly, and the purple soul ring above the mandragora snake was attracted by the blue light in her hand, and then quickly merged into her body.

The smile on her face faded, and Tang Ya began to concentrate on absorbing the spirit ring. "Brother Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to be able to seriously injure the thousand-year-old mandragora snake with one punch. By the way, was the spirit skill you just used the one you obtained after hunting the wind baboon? How could it be so powerful?" While Tang Ya was absorbing the spirit ring, Bei Bei came to Xiao Yan with a curious look on her face and asked.

"It was just luck." Xiao Yan touched his nose and smiled.

"What I just performed was not a soul skill, but a special attack skill. However, it is similar to a soul skill."

Bei Bei naturally didn't understand what the special attack skills Xiao Yan was talking about meant, and couldn't help asking again: "Brother Xiao Yan, is your martial soul of spiritual attribute? Just now, I felt a strong spiritual fluctuation."

"Yes. My martial soul is Lingmou! A mutated martial soul with spiritual attributes." Xiao Yan nodded and said lightly.

"Spiritual Eyes? Your martial soul?" Beibei touched his chin, frowned slightly, and said in disbelief: "Since your martial soul is a spiritual eye, why were you able to launch such a powerful physical attack just now?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan obviously realized something. He didn't want to reveal too much, so he said, "I was lucky enough to have a master from another world. What I just displayed was a self-created spirit skill, which was taught to me by him."

"Oh." Bei Bei nodded doubtfully, not understanding why. However, he could see that Xiao Yan didn't want to reveal too much, so he didn't ask any more questions.

It takes a long time to absorb the thousand-year soul ring. Beibei scattered some medicines to drive away soul beasts around the periphery and began to protect the law. During the process of Tang Ya absorbing the soul ring of the thousand-year mandragora snake, only ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts appeared around, and they were all driven away by Beibei. It can be said that she escaped without any danger.

I don't know how long it took, but Tang Ya finally completed the absorption of the thousand-year soul ring. She let out a long breath and slowly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes were radiant, and her whole spirit and energy were greatly improved.

"I succeeded." The next second, Tang Ya jumped up from the ground excitedly. With the stimulation of her soul power, three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, circled up from under her feet. The most eye-catching one was her purple thousand-year soul ring.

"Brother Xiao Yan, thank you. It was you who defeated this thousand-year-old mandragora snake that gave me the opportunity to absorb its spirit ring." Tang Ya cheered and pounced on Xiao Yan, giving him a big hug.

"..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Beibei was suddenly confused.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, you have now obtained your first soul ring. What are your plans next? Who else is in your family?" Then, Tang Ya released the arms that were hugging Xiao Yan and asked with curiosity in her eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes froze for a moment. The next second, he shook his head firmly and said, "There is nothing left. I am the only one left."

Tang Ya was overjoyed and blurted out: "That's great."

Xiao Yan was stunned, and there was even a hint of anger in his eyes. Bei Bei was speechless. He raised his hand and knocked Tang Ya on the head, scolding: "How can you talk like that?"

"Uh..." At this time, Tang Ya also realized her slip of the tongue. She glared at Bei Bei and said, "Hey, what are you doing? I didn't mean it. What I meant was... if Xiao Yan doesn't have anyone at home, then he can join the Tang Sect and follow us back to Shrek City."

"After all, judging from the strength he just demonstrated, the Tang Sect is in great need of such talents right now."

"Brother Xiao Yan, what do you think? Do you want to join our sect?"
