Chapter 3: The Million-Year Soul Ring (4)

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Bai Bai apparently also realized something, nodded and said: "Really didn't think of it. Unfortunately, we came a step late, otherwise we should have helped Huo Xiao find a better soul beast to merge with."

  Huo Yuhao had now recovered from his surprise. Although he was young, his experiences since childhood had made him somewhat vigilant. He immediately guessed that BeiBei and TangYa would think the first soul ring he had just absorbed belonged to the monkey. Although he didn't understand why a million-year-old soul ring was also white, this was undoubtedly his best cover for now, and he naturally wouldn't explain anything.

  "Brother Bei, Sister Xiaoya, are you two here to chase me? Is there something going on?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.

  Tang Ya scolded, "Originally we were just guessing that you alone on this side intended to enter the Star Dou Great Forest. I didn't expect it was true, your courage is too great. Don't you know that the Star Dou Great Forest has a reputation as a forbidden zone for humans? Even some soul masters with extremely high cultivation don't dare to venture deep inside. A small kid like you must be accompanied by a master in order to move around near the Star Dou Great Forest. We chased after you to protect you, I and Bei Bei are both soul masters. However, your luck is still pretty good, although the first soul ring you obtained isn't too strong, at least you didn't get hurt."

  As soon as she said that, a strong warmth surged in the young heart of Huo Yu Hao. He was young, but he had seen many things in his life and could tell that Tang Ya's sincerity was not fake when she spoke.

  "Little Ya sister, I..." Huo Yuhao was about to say something impulsively, almost revealing the matter of Tian Mu Xue. But just then, a cough echoed in his mind, and a refreshing breath struck him, causing him to swallow back the second half of his sentence.

  Tang Ya burst out laughing and said, "Look at that silly look on your face, alright, I won't mention it again. Xiao Yu Hao, now that you've also obtained a Soul Ring, what are your plans next?"

  Huò Yǔhào was taken aback by her question, Ah! What plans did he have for himself? Before coming to the Star Dou Great Forest, his goal had always been to become a Soul Master and obtain his first Soul Ring. The difference between a Soul Master and a Soul Scholar was like heaven and earth! Becoming a Soul Master meant opening another big door, after which the sky would be the limit. However, he really hadn't thought about what to do afterwards, after all, he was only eleven years old, and it was his first time leaving home.

  Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Tang Ya secretly rejoiced and gave a wink to Beibei beside her.

  Bai nodded and asked: "Huo Xiao Di, are there any other people in your household?"

  Huo Yu Hao's eyes froze for a moment, then he shook his head firmly. "There is no one else, only myself left."

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

  Huo Yu Hao was suddenly stunned, while Bei Bei had a speechless expression on her face. She raised her hand and knocked Tang Ya's head lightly, saying "How can you talk like that?"

  Tang Ya also realized her own mistake, glared at Bei Bei and said: "She didn't do it on purpose. Xiao Yu Hao, since you don't have any other ideas, why not join our sect?"

  " Sect?" Huo Yuhao had heard of sects before when he was in the Duke's mansion. On the Douluo Continent, sects held immense power, especially those ancient soul master sects with a long history. In a sense, the Duke's mansion itself could be considered a large sect.

  Tang Ya nodded seriously and said, "It's our sect. Our sect used to be the number one on the continent. If you join us, you won't lose out. Moreover, our sect's unique skills are very suitable for your cultivation. You're all alone, so young, if you join our sect, everyone can take care of each other in the future. It's better than you being alone and reckless, after all, luck can't always be with you. What if something happens when you're acting on your own?"

  Huoyu Hao subconsciously asked: "Little Ya sister, what is your sect called?"

  Tang Ya said with a serious expression: "The Tang Sect, once the number one sect on the mainland."

  At the mention of the two words "Tang Men", Huo Yuhao's body couldn't help but tremble. Although Tang Men had already declined and become insignificant, in the history of Douluo Continent, the status of Tang Men was so heavy that it could be said that no other sect could compare to it.

  When he was still very young, his mother had told him about the legend of the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect was founded ten thousand years ago and could be said to be one of the oldest sects in history. It was said that the first generation sect master of the Tang Sect, Tang San, had once changed the entire continent's situation, laying down the future for the development of soul masters on the continent. At that time, the Tang Sect was indeed the number one sect under heaven. Moreover, according to legend, Tang San had even broken through the highest realm of a Soul Master, the Title Douluo, becoming an existence of another level, from then on not dying or being destroyed. Only, how it ended up in the end was something that nobody knew.

  Time has passed for tens of thousands of years, and the legend of Tangmen still exists, but it has already left the stage of history. Few people know what happened to the descendants of Tangmen. Even some legends about Tangmen are no longer detailed. However, someone once said that if it weren't for Tang San laying the foundation for the future development of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent thousands of years ago, then after the collision with the Xingyue Continent over 4,000 years ago, the Douluo Continent might not have been able to defeat the strong from the Xingyue Continent and unify the two continents.

  "Huo Xiaodi, have you ever heard of Tangmen?" Beibei asked.

  Huo Yu Hao nodded and said: "I've heard some legends about the Tang Gate. I just don't know where it is."

  Tang Ya's eyes suddenly turned red, "The Tang Sect no longer has a mansion. The foundation was taken away. At present, the remaining members of the Tang Sect are only me and Beibei. I am the current master of the Tang Sect, and Beibei is my first disciple."

  "Ah?" Huo Yu Hao looked at them in surprise, and judging by their age, Tang Ya was not much older than Bei Bei. From their conversation, it was completely impossible to tell that they were a master and apprentice.

  Baby coughed twice and said, "You've also seen the situation, Huo Xiao. Now there are only two of us in the Tang Sect, me and Xiaoya. But we will definitely work hard to make the Tang Sect glorious again. If you're willing, you're welcome to join. There's one thing Xiaoya didn't say wrong, the Tang Sect has a skill that should be very suitable for your cultivation. It will be very beneficial for your future development."

  He Yu Hao hesitated for a moment before saying: "Then what do I need to do after joining the Tang Sect?"

  Tang Ya said: "You need to constantly improve your cultivation and become stronger. When our sect needs it, you must contribute to the sect. I'm not boasting or deceiving you. Our Tang Sect has indeed declined, but its techniques are still intact. Moreover, as the former number one sect on the continent, we have some special privileges. You should have heard of the prestigious Shrek Academy, which is extremely strict in selecting students. However, they offer our Tang Sect an exemption quota every year. Beibei and I have already joined Shrek Academy. This year, a spot has opened up, and if you're willing to join our Tang Sect, this quota will be yours. As for whether you can stay at Shrek Academy, it depends on your own efforts. That's all I can offer, but, Xiao Yu Hao, I have one condition: once you join the Tang Sect, you'll be a member of the sect for life. If one day you want to leave, you must return all the sect's ultimate techniques."

  Tang Gate, Tang Gate. Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually lit up as he looked at Tang Ya seriously, "Little sister Ya, I promise you, I'm willing to join the Tang Gate."
