Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 90 The Beginning of Fate (Part 5)
"Your sect? Shrek Academy!?"

Huo Yuhao's surprise became even more apparent, but it was quickly followed by a sense of helplessness.

Although they didn't know what kind of sect Tang Ya and Bei Bei were talking about, they were very familiar with Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy.

The number one Soul Master Academy in the world, the undisputed core of the original Three Kingdoms, the holy land that all Soul Masters dream of...

These names all belong to Shrek Academy, but apart from these names that are widely known on the continent, what impressed Huo Yuhao the most about Shrek Academy was the legendary Sea God Tang San, who laid the foundation for the future development of soul masters on the continent. He was also the founder of the Tang Sect, the first generation of the Seven Devils of Shrek Academy, and a generation of powerful soul masters.

Secondly, he had heard at the White Tiger Duke's mansion that the White Tiger Duchess's two sons were studying at Shrek Academy. His mother, Huo Yun'er, had also hoped that he could enter Shrek Academy, but unfortunately, even until her death, she did not see her wish come true.

"I...I can't do it. Sister Xiaoya, neither your sect nor Shrek Academy would want a piece of trash like me..."

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before finally speaking in a low voice.

At this point, Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya lowered their heads almost simultaneously.

But after a moment, Tang Ya was the first to raise her head, and then slowly said:
"Little Yuhao, do you know about the Tang Clan, the number one sect in the world ten thousand years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head and then nodded.

"Yes, I know. I've heard many legends about the Tang Clan from my mother since I was little, but I never knew where their headquarters were located..."

Tang Ya's eyes suddenly reddened, and then she whispered:
"The Tang Clan's mansion and foundation are gone. If the only remaining members of the Tang Clan are me and Bei Bei, then I am the current Tang Clan leader, and Bei Bei is my first disciple."

Beibei gently patted Tang Ya's back, then whispered:
"The decline of the Tang Clan in the past is a foregone conclusion, but the future of the Tang Clan is still uncertain."

"Xiao Yuhao, you must know how strict Shrek Academy's admission standards are, but even so, Shrek Academy is willing to give our Tang Sect one admission spot without examination every year."

"If you are willing to join the Tang Sect, then this year's spot for admission without examination is yours. But whether you can stay at Shrek Academy in the end depends on yourself."

"What!?"

Huo Yuhao was shocked. Huo Yuhao was thinking. Huo Yuhao couldn't suppress his excitement.

"If that's really the case, then I'm willing to join the Tang Sect!"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then said firmly.

"Really!? Xiao Yuhao, you'd better think this through. Joining a sect isn't something to be taken lightly. Even though our Tang Sect has declined to this state, it still had a long period of glory. If you join the Tang Sect and want to leave in the future, you'll have to return all of the Tang Sect's secret techniques. Otherwise, Beibei and I won't let you off the hook."

Tang Ya perked up almost instantly.

In fact, she had tried to recruit disciples before, but unfortunately, the Tang Sect was too weak now, and people with even a little talent were unwilling to join. Moreover, her talent and strength as the Tang Sect leader were just average. Her upper limit, just like the previous generations of Tang Sect predecessors, was limited by the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Hearing that Huo Yuhao was willing to join the Tang Sect was a great encouragement to her.

After all, although they didn't know what Huo Yuhao's martial soul was, she could still sense a faint soul power reaction from Huo Yuhao. Combined with Huo Yuhao's previous statement that he came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring, Huo Yuhao's current soul power level was already quite clear.

Although Huo Yuhao's talent was indeed lacking, the Tang Sect was only so-so, so Tang Ya didn't look down on him at all; on the contrary, she saw it as progress. The others simply listened quietly to the three's conversation, without making any comments.

Many people know that Tang Ya is the leader of the Tang Sect, but at the same time, they really have little interest in this ancient sect that has been lost to the annals of history.

Leaving aside the fact that Tang Clan's hidden weapons have been rendered obsolete by the times, even other of Tang Clan's unique skills don't seem to be as astonishing or desirable in this day and age...

If the Tang Clan's secret techniques were truly that good, countless forces on the continent would have taken advantage of the Tang Clan's decline to plunder it long ago. How could Tang Ya have inherited them and used them as the basis for recruiting disciples?

"Alright, Xiaoya, let's ask Yuhao what his martial soul is first. We can also take him to hunt soul beasts to obtain his first soul ring..."

Beibei spoke up again from the side.

Tang Ya nodded in agreement, then asked:
"Little Yuhao, tell your sister what your spirit is first... Oh, right, Yuhao, you might have already guessed, we're both students of Shrek Academy, and we've come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit beasts and obtain spirit rings..."

As she spoke, Tang Ya chuckled and secretly pointed to Wu Ming and Shu Yan beside her, then whispered:

"Those two senior students are both prominent figures at Shrek Academy, especially the male senior. You'll find out just how influential he is after you enroll... To be honest, even Tang San, the founder of our Tang Sect, seems to be no match for this Senior Shu Yan..."

Beibei, who was standing to the side, smiled and then said:

"It's said that Tang San's cultivation level was only that of a Great Soul Master when he was twelve, while Senior Shu Yan was already a Soul King at the same age. Speaking of which, our Senior Shu Yan is truly a prodigy... He's flawless in every aspect..."

"What?! A twelve-year-old Soul King?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

It took him five whole years to reach level ten in his cultivation. During that time, he put in endless effort and shed countless drops of sweat. He knew that geniuses and monsters existed in this world, but he never expected that he would encounter the most outstanding genius and monster among them as soon as he entered the world of Soul Masters.

"I know you're surprised, but Yuhao, now is not the time for surprise. Tell me quickly, what exactly is your martial soul...?"

Tang Ya continued.

Huo Yuhao was about to look away when, in the next second, an even deeper and sharper gaze collided with his. In that instant, Huo Yuhao felt as if he had seen a giant beast lurking in the darkness, and he couldn't help but tremble in a daze.

When he finally snapped out of his daze amidst Tang Ya and Bei Bei's anxious calls, his back was already soaked with cold sweat. From afar, Shu Yan smiled gently at him, and then made no further comment.

Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, then forcibly suppressed his wildly beating heart before speaking:

"My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, a mutated martial soul with a spiritual attribute!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent...
