The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 53 Holy Spirit Cult

After finishing his battles near dusk, Huo Zhanji returned to his dormitory to recover his soul power. Just then, a knock sounded on the door. Huo Zhanji snapped out of his daze, went to open the door, and there stood Nana.

"Why are you here?" Huo Zhanji frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in the mess of the Holy Spirit Sect.

"May I come in?" Nana asked, her brows furrowed slightly.

Huo Zhan quickly opened the door and gestured for him to come in: "Come in, what can I do for you?"

Nana suddenly turned around and said, "What exactly did you do to me? Why are you able to control my body?"

"Because I'm stronger than you," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

Hearing Huo Zhanji's words, Nana was somewhat indignant, but found herself unable to find a reason to refute him: "Don't you dare admit it?"

"What do I have to admit? Do you still think I'm an evil spirit master?" Looking at Nana in front of him, Huo Zhanji was absolutely not going to give in to her.

"You..." Nana wanted to lash out, but she held back in the end because she had a clear understanding of her own strength. "What exactly do you want? I can feel that you have taken a part of the soul that I released when I used the Soul Resentment Technique. Give me back my soul."

"You don't seem too stupid after all, continue," Huo Zhanji said patiently.

Nana continued, "Don't say it wasn't you. If my soul had dissipated or been destroyed by you back then, I would have been severely injured. However, I wasn't severely injured during that battle; it was only after the battle that my body became uncontrollable."

"Alright, tell me your story. I'm not interested in your soul yet. Come here, I'll return your soul to you." Huo Zhanji extended his index finger, and Nana's missing soul floated out with it.

Upon hearing this, Nana blushed slightly and knelt down in front of Huo Zhanji.

"Get up. I didn't tell you to kneel down to speak." Huo Zhanji frowned slightly, expressing his confusion about this behavior.

Upon hearing Huo Zhanji's words, Nana hurriedly stood up and stood respectfully in front of Huo Zhanji.

"Your soul has been returned to you. Now, tell me about your situation," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

"Mmm." Nana nodded obediently, having long lost her former sharpness.

"You must know something to be reacting so strongly. Tell me about it," Huo Zhanji said while recovering his soul power.

After hesitating for a moment, Nana seemed to have made a decision. She gritted her teeth and slammed the door shut. The force with which she slammed the door startled Huo Zhanji.

"Huo Zhanji, I beg you to help me..." Just as Huo Zhanji recovered, Nana knelt down not far away, her eyes quickly turning red.

"I, I..." Nana shook her head painfully, and the tears that had stopped flowing again.

"Can I tell you a story?" Nana asked timidly.

"Tell me about it," Huo Zhanji said, showing some interest.

……

After hearing a tragic backstory, Nana's already volatile emotions began to spiral out of control. Huo Zhanji stood up, raised his right hand, and patted Nana's shoulder, a surge of pure soul power dispelling the abnormal state.

"You're talking about the Holy Spirit Cult, aren't you? After all, besides that group, I can't think of any other organization that could cause someone so much pain and fear," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

"How do you know about the Holy Spirit Cult? Could it be that you also..." Under Nana's terrified gaze, she slowly took two steps back.

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with them," Huo Zhanji said softly.

"As long as you can save my parents' souls, I, Nana, am willing to be their slave. I hate this academy, and even hate this corrupt country..." After witnessing the Holy Spirit Cult colluding with Mingde Hall, Nana had long lost hope in this academy and this country.

"Alright, I'll take care of this troublesome Holy Spirit Cult. You can go back now. I'll let you know when it's time to take action," Huo Zhanji said.

"Mmm..." After learning that Huo Zhanji had helped her, Nana turned around and left Huo Zhanji's dormitory.

"The Holy Spirit Cult is a real nuisance. I don't know which idiot came up with it." Huo Zhanji said, watching Nana's departing figure.

Early in the morning, the Soul Guidance Trial Arena was still packed, but it was much quieter than yesterday morning.

Many students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy arrived here with dark circles under their eyes. They hadn't slept well the night before. They finally understood why Shrek Academy was always the number one academy on the continent, while their Sun Moon Academy had suffered defeats time and time again.

Today, the level six soul masters of Mingde Hall will make their move. Huo Zhanji from Shrek Academy has won dozens of matches in a row. Can he continue?

Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen also arrived at the podium early in the morning. Yesterday's competition had a profound impact on him. Huo Zhanji was only fifteen years old, yet he had such rich practical experience, which truly surprised him.

Lin Jiayi was still the host of today's sparring match. His voice rang out through the amplified soul tool: "Today is the second day of our sparring match with Shrek Academy."

"Mingde Hall, Jing Ziyan." This female soul master was the one who spoke the most concisely among all the people who appeared.

"Shrek, Huo Zhanji."

"The match begins."

Huo Zhanji sprang into the air immediately, but this time, he showed everyone his true speed when he went all out.

"Teleport!!" Jing Ziyan had maintained a calm expression since her appearance, but when Huo Zhanji suddenly burst into speed and rushed in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Dark Gold Terror Claw!" Huo Zhan shouted, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw's external soul bone suddenly appeared.

Jing Ziyan's figure instantly floated backward, and a layer of intense golden light suddenly burst forth from her body, releasing an invincible shield that could last for three seconds. Not only that, a layer of thick purple smoke suddenly erupted from her body.

"boom--"

Huo Zhanji slammed into the invincible shield. The moment the two collided, the light in the entire Soul Guidance Trial Arena seemed to dim, and the world changed color.

"Swish—"

The sturdy three-second invincibility shield was torn apart by the sharp claws, leaving fine cracks that spread rapidly.

Inside the invincible shield, all the purple smoke instantly merged and transformed back into human form, with Jing Ziyan's face turning deathly pale.

"You lost." Huo Zhanji withdrew his dark gold claws and turned around to say this.

"Are you kidding me? Is this a Soul King?" Jing Hongchen seemed somewhat dazed at this moment.

Huo Zhanji ended the match without giving Jing Ziyan any chance to attack, then turned back to the sidelines to recover his soul power in preparation for the next match.
