Looking at the corpse of the wind baboon, the massive fissures in the ground, and Huo Yuhao lying there, the three fell into silence.

"Wind baboon?"

"Yuhao didn't absorb the soul ring from this wind baboon, did he?

His martial soul is of the spiritual attribute, and this wind baboon's soul ring doesn't match him at all. He's not in danger, is he?"

When a soul master absorbs a soul ring, it's not only restricted by the age of the ring; there must also be an attribute match.

After all, the essence of the soul ring must fuse with the martial soul, and if there is no compatibility, it could lead to conflicts at the core level.

While Tang Ya was anxious, Bei Bei remained somewhat calmer and carefully observed Huo Yuhao's condition.

"Xiao Ya, don't worry. Yuhao's aura is stable, and the soul power within him has significantly increased. If I'm not mistaken, he should have successfully absorbed the soul ring and become a soul master."

Bei Bei then sighed.

"Unfortunately, the first soul ring is only from a ten-year-old wind baboon."

Tang Ya placed a hand on Bei Bei's ear, expressing her discontent. "Hmph, so what if the first ring is a bit weak? It's already impressive that Yuhao managed to defeat the wind baboon all on his own."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Xiao Ya, please take your hand down."

Huo Yuhao quickly woke up.

As he opened his eyes, he saw Tang Ya's worried expression, along with Bei Bei and Su Yu nearby.

"I really am not dreaming?"

Reflecting on everything that had just happened, he felt a lingering sense of unreality.

Tang Ya pinched Huo Yuhao's arm.

"Ouch! That hurts! What was that for, Sister Xiao Ya?"

"See? It hurts, right? That means you're not dreaming."

Huo Yuhao came to his senses.

A million-year soul ring.

Four soul skills.

All of this was real!

And with all of this, revenge didn't seem as unattainable as before.

Tears welled up in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Seeing him like this, Tang Ya felt a pang of sympathy.

What kind of experiences must have led an eleven-year-old boy to venture into the perilous Star Dou Forest alone to hunt for soul rings?

While Tang Ya didn't understand Huo Yuhao's past, she felt deep sympathy for him.

"Yuhao, even though your first soul ring is just from a ten-year-old wind baboon, you shouldn't be discouraged."

Tang Ya and Bei Bei comforted Huo Yuhao, and he was momentarily taken aback but didn't counter their words.

He also had no intention of revealing the existence of the Dream Ice Silkworm to them.

However, he felt touched that Tang Ya and Bei Bei were there to comfort him.

"But Yuhao, do you know how dangerous that was just now?"

After comforting him, Tang Ya began to scold Huo Yuhao for his reckless actions.

"…"

Huo Yuhao quietly listened to her admonitions without any hint of dissatisfaction.

He could feel that this was her way of showing concern for him.

Since his mother's passing, he had not felt such care in a long time.

Even though it was in a different form, he genuinely appreciated it, and his defenses gradually lowered.

Once Tang Ya finished her scolding, she started asking about Huo Yuhao's next plans.

"Yuhao, now that you've gained your first soul ring, what do you plan to do next?"

"Ah? I'm not sure."

Huo Yuhao felt somewhat lost; he was driven by a sense of hatred, wanting to become stronger to take revenge, but he had no specific plans.

Suddenly, he remembered what Su Yu had mentioned about the Body Sect.

He also thought of Tang Ya's Tang Sect.

"Why not, Yuhao, join our Tang Sect? Although our Tang Sect has declined, our legacy still exists, and we have the qualification for exemption from exams at Shrek Academy!"

"Shrek Academy?"

Huo Yuhao heard a familiar name again.

Tang Sect and Shrek—these were names he had heard in stories from his mother during her childhood.

He instinctively yearned for these two legendary names.

What Tang Ya said had already moved him.

"Sister Xiao Ya, then I'll join the Tang Sect."

"Great!"

"Then, Sister Xiao Ya, is there anything I need to do to join the Tang Sect?"

"You need to continuously improve your cultivation, become stronger, and take it upon yourself to revitalize the Tang Sect.

Our Tang Sect qualifies for exemption from exams into Shrek Academy every year. Both Bei Bei and I are already students there, so the spot for you to join the Tang Sect is reserved."

"And the most important point is that once you join the Tang Sect, you can never betray us. If you ever decide to leave, you must return all the secret techniques of the Tang Sect."

Su Yu, listening from the side, couldn't help but grimace.

Huo Yuhao didn't feel that anything was amiss and expressed his desire to join the Tang Sect, which made Tang Ya very happy.

Bei Bei also congratulated Huo Yuhao, celebrating his joining.

"Yuhao, let's do a master-disciple ceremony. Since there are only three of us in the Tang Sect, we can keep it simple. You can bow to me and call me 'Master' from now on, and then you'll be one of us."

Huo Yuhao nodded and promptly knelt before Tang Ya to pay his respects.

"Alright, Yuhao, from now on, you'll be the second disciple of the Tang Sect, and Bei Bei will be your senior brother. You'll need to call him 'Senior Brother Bei Bei' from now on," Tang Ya said after Huo Yuhao bowed three times.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

"Little junior brother, don't be so polite. From now on, we're family," Bei Bei smiled lightly and pressed a button on his belt, which then revealed a completely black belt adorned with circular pieces of white jade.

"Little junior brother, this is a soul tool modeled after our Tang Sect's ancestor Tang San's 'Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night.' Consider it a welcoming gift from your senior brother. With this, it will be more convenient for you to carry things in the future."

Tang Ya also took out a book from her storage soul tool.

"Yuhao, this is our Tang Sect's 'Xuan Tian Treasure Record.' It contains our cultivation method, 'Xuan Tian Gong,' as well as various secret techniques.

Among them, one technique, 'Purple Extreme Demon Eyes,' is very compatible with your spiritual eyes, so you must practice it diligently.

I and Bei Bei will guide you through the cultivation of Xuan Tian Gong and the secret techniques."

Huo Yuhao accepted the belt and, with Bei Bei's help, learned how to use it before storing the 'Xuan Tian Treasure Record' inside it.

Huo Yuhao successfully joined the sect.

At that moment, Bei Bei turned to Su Yu and extended another invitation.

"Su Xiaodi, are you really not considering it?"

The Tang Sect had already declined, and the situation was dire. They had even lost their sect recently, and these changes had placed a heavy burden on Tang Ya.

Bei Bei noticed everything and wanted to share some of the pressure with her. Su Yu's exceptional talent could help alleviate Xiao Ya's burdens if he joined the Tang Sect.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Su Yu was destined to have no connection with them.

With his extraordinary comprehension, Su Yu didn't want to be merely a low-level god. Moreover, he didn't want to be controlled by fate, relationships, and opportunities; that feeling was worse than death.

A chastity lock? Can you believe it?

Well, that's enough of that.

"Brother Bei, thanks again, but the Tang Sect really isn't suitable for me."
