Chapter 26: Beibei and Tang Ya
"Splash!"
A distinct rustling of grass and leaves suddenly came from the dense forest not far to the side, breaking the brief silence that followed the instant kill of the wind baboon.
The tension that Wu Ming and his son Wu Yang had just eased suddenly tightened again. They subconsciously shrank back behind Huo Yuhao, their eyes fixed nervously on the bushes where the sound was coming from.
Huo Yuhao's gaze instantly locked onto that direction, but he was not prepared to make a move.
Because, at the very moment the sound came, his mental energy had already spread out like an invisible ripple.
It has been determined that the visitors are not soul beasts, but two human soul masters.
Sure enough, a moment later, the bushes in front parted, and two swift figures emerged from them.
The newcomers were two boys, who looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
The girl had a beautiful oval face, fair skin, and a pair of bright, expressive eyes.
Her long, black hair was neatly combed into a ponytail, which swayed gently behind her head with her movements, giving her a clean, neat, and energetic look.
The boy next to her had a striking head of short blue hair.
His face was handsome, and although he was not old, there was less of the childish playfulness in his brows and more of a calm and scholarly air, giving people a refined and gentle first impression.
Upon seeing that it was two children, Wu Ming and his son Wu Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Huo Yuhao's vigilance did not diminish in the slightest, and he even recalled the teachings of his two teachers.
Encountering a human soul master in the Spirit Ascension Platform may not be a good thing.
Competition, ambushes, and even killing each other for profit are commonplace.
Although this is not a virtual Ascension Platform, it is the perilous Star Dou Great Forest.
It's always better to be careful!
The girl's gaze first swept quickly over the corpse of the baboon on the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Her gaze then fell on Huo Yuhao: "Little brother, you're quite impressive. You easily took down a ten-year-old soul beast?"
Huo Yuhao didn't respond. His gaze continued to sweep back and forth between Bei Bei and Tang Ya, his spiritual eyes subtly working.
The girl with the ponytail has a soul power fluctuation of around level 20, so she must have come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring.
The blue-haired boy beside her had a much deeper soul power, around level twenty-six or twenty-seven, which was already considered outstanding for his age.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's wary expression, the girl took a small step forward and said gently, "Please don't misunderstand, we mean no harm."
"I just heard some noise from a soul beast nearby, so I came to check it out."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao remained unmoved, the boy spoke again: "We are from Shrek Academy. My name is Bei Bei, and this is Tang Ya."
Upon hearing the words "Shrek Academy," Wu Ming and his son Wu Yang's eyes widened in shock and awe!
For ordinary people and low-level Soul Masters like them, Shrek Academy's reputation as the "Number One Academy on the Continent" and the "Holy Land of Soul Masters" was simply too impressive!
At this moment, the boy and girl in front of me, who look no more than twelve or thirteen years old, are actually students of Shrek Academy!
In their minds, this was a once-in-a-million, promising prodigy!
The tension and wariness from before were instantly replaced by the shock and awe brought by this enormous reputation.
Wu Yang looked at Bei Bei and Tang Ya with a hint of burning admiration.
However, when Huo Yuhao, who was standing at the very front, heard the words "Shrek", his eyes only flickered almost imperceptibly before returning to calm.
He certainly held Shrek Academy in high regard, but that respect stemmed more from his objective understanding of its historical heritage and teaching achievements.
Rather than the almost instinctive shock and excitement that ordinary Soul Masters feel when they hear this name.
After all, he is no longer the ignorant Dai Yuhao who knew nothing about the top powers on the mainland.
Ten thousand years later, the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda stands in Shrek City, next to Shrek Academy. His teacher, Leng Yaozhu, once took him on a tour of Shrek Academy.
For him, it was simply a place to study, not some distant legend.
Given the age and cultivation level of this young boy and girl, it is quite reasonable for them to be students of Shrek Academy, and they could even be considered quite outstanding.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao's powerful mental energy spread outwards like an invisible spider web.
There were no other abnormal fluctuations in soul power, and it seemed that only Bei Bei and Tang Ya were nearby, which put him at ease.
The wariness on Huo Yuhao's face faded slightly, replaced by a faint smile.
"My name is Huo Yuhao. In two years, I plan to apply to Shrek Academy and give it a try."
"At that time, I might have to call them seniors."
Beibei subtly shielded Tang Ya behind her, her face still bearing a gentle smile, but she was already on guard.
The boy in front of him, who was only eight or nine years old, gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through him and instinctively felt that he was in danger.
His intuition has always been very accurate.
"With your strength, young man, getting into Shrek Academy shouldn't be too difficult."
His tone was calm, but his gaze never left the other person.
Tang Ya, unable to contain her curiosity, peeked half her face out from behind Bei Bei's shoulder, her bright eyes darting around, and said in a cheerful voice, "Little brother Yuhao, how about considering joining our Tang Sect? Our Tang Sect was once the number one sect on the continent!"
Beibei turned her head at the sound and called out in a low voice, "Xiaoya!"
He had already planned to take his leave, but the girl suddenly had another idea.
Tang Ya immediately put on a stern face, feigning seriousness: "What did you call me?"
"...Teacher Xiaoya," Beibei sighed helplessly, "Is that alright now?"
Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the playful banter between the two.
He repeated those two words in a low voice: "Tang Clan..."
Unexpectedly, I encountered members of the Tang Clan here.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's murmur, Tang Ya's eyes lit up: "That's right! I am the current leader of the Tang Sect. If you're willing, you can join the Tang Sect now!"
"The leader of the Tang Clan?"
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat.
Ten thousand years later, the two sect leaders of the Tang Sect who were renowned throughout the continent—the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin and the Ruthless Douluo Cao Dezhi—were both peak-level quasi-gods.
And this girl in front of him, whose soul power was not even as strong as his, actually called herself the master of the Tang Sect?
He almost laughed out loud, wondering if he had encountered a charlatan.
But the next moment, his gaze suddenly froze.
He remembered that ten thousand years ago... the Tang Clan had indeed been on the verge of extinction.
It was only after he joined the Tang Sect and combined the soul tool with the Tang Sect's hidden weapons that this ancient sect was reborn and rose again on the continent.
His gaze fell upon Tang Ya's clear and determined eyes, and his heart surged with emotion...
Perhaps in this era, she really is the current leader of the Tang Clan.
