The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 8 Little Huo Grilled Fish

The gate of Shrek Academy is the east gate of Shrek City. There are always many merchants gathered outside the east gate, including many students of Shrek Academy who come out to do business.

After Huo Zhanji took out the oven, iron rack, seasonings, and ingredients he had prepared in advance from his storage soul tool, "Little Huo Grilled Fish" officially opened for business.

"Come out, aren't you tired of hiding?" Huo Zhanji said.

Wang Dong, who had been summoned by Huo Zhanji, asked with a slightly embarrassed smile, "How did you know I was here?"

Huo Zhanji said quickly, "Your tracking skills still need practice. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I'm very curious about your martial soul, Huo Zhanji. What is your martial soul?" Wang Dong asked curiously.

"My martial soul is a spirit-type martial soul, double pupils," Huo Zhanji said without hesitation.

"Eyes? Your physical spirit?" Wang Dong continued to ask.

"Wow, what's that smell? It smells so good!"

Just then, Wang Dong shifted his gaze from Huo Zhanji and saw a young girl standing in front of the stall, with a boy who looked to be about the same age standing next to her. The boy had a smile on his face and was looking at Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong with great interest.

"Junior, how much is your grilled fish?" the girl asked, her eyes drooling.

"Five copper soul coins for each grilled fish," Huo Zhanji said.

"I want four grilled fish, and here are twenty copper soul coins." Tang Ya handed the copper soul coins to Huo Zhanji.

Wang Dong, who was standing next to Huo Zhanji, took the money. "I'm his roommate, I'm collecting the money for him."

After looking at Huo Zhanji, Tang Ya handed the copper soul coin to Wang Dong. In fact, Wang Dong's behavior at this moment was far beyond Huo Zhanji's expectations. Wherever he went, Wang Dong followed him like a shadow.

On the other side, Tang Ya took the four grilled fish that Huo Zhanji handed over, gave one of them to the blue-haired boy next to her, and sat down to eat the remaining three grilled fish.

"Are you the new students admitted this year? My name is Tang Ya, and this is Bei Bei. We are fourth-year students," Tang Ya said while eating grilled fish.

Wang Dong said, "We are the freshmen this year."

"Which class are you in?" Tang Ya asked curiously.

"Class One of Freshmen"

"Class 1 of the freshmen?" Tang Ya and Bei Bei exchanged a glance. "I remember, isn't Zhou Yi, that pervert, the homeroom teacher of Class 1 of the freshmen?"

Beibei nodded. "Yes, Teacher Zhou originally taught third grade. I heard that she was too strict and the students complained to the academy many times, so she was demoted to the freshman class."

Tang Ya looked at Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong with a pitying gaze, "You two are going to have a tough time with Zhou Yi, that perverted old hag."

"Junior brothers, would you like to join my sect?" Tang Ya quickly finished her grilled fish and looked at the two of them. "My sect used to be the number one on the continent."

[Ding, system has issued a decision-making task: Tang Sect]

[Host chooses to join: Rewards include the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record]

[Host refuses to join: Reward: Movement Technique "Phoenix Dance Six Illusions", Body Refining Technique "Dragon Elephant Transformation into the Sea Classic"]

Seeing Tang Ya begin recruiting students for the Tang Clan, Bei Bei sighed but did not stop her.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong asked, "Senior Tang Ya, may I ask what your sect is called?"

Tang Ya said solemnly, "Tang Clan, I am the current leader of the Tang Clan. Do you want to join?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wang Dong actually nodded to her and said, "Alright! I've long heard of the wonders of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons. Sister Xiaoya, I want to join the Tang Clan. Please accept me."

"Huh? You really want to join our Tang Clan? There are only two of us left in our Tang Clan now." Tang Ya was taken aback.

Wang Dong nodded seriously and said, "I hope to join the Tang Clan and learn hidden weapons."

Tang Ya's expression also turned serious, and she said, "Okay."

Huo Zhanji spoke up, but didn't completely rule it out, "I don't want to join any sect right now, so I'm sorry, Senior Xiaoya."

[Ding, host has made a choice, reward has been issued, host, do you wish to learn?]

"Study," Huo Zhanji murmured to himself.

Successfully completed the studies of "The Phoenix Dances in Six Illusions" and "The Dragon and Elephant Transforms into the Sea Classic".

Before long, Huo Zhanji had the contents of these techniques in his mind, but he didn't show it much on his face.

"Alright then, junior, if you'd like to join anytime, consider the Tang Sect," Tang Ya said.

"Okay." Huo Zhanji said and continued grilling the fish.

Tang Ya was teaching Wang Dong the secret techniques of the Tang Clan.

At this moment, the area outside the city gate was already crowded with people, and the sights were dazzling. Huo Zhanji's Little Huo Grilled Fish naturally attracted attention as well.

A student in a yellow shirt asked, "Junior, how much is your grilled fish?"

Huo Zhanji smiled slightly, "Five copper soul coins for each grilled fish."

The student in yellow took a deep breath, his eyes lighting up. "Give me one of those grilled fish!"

Huo Zhanji handed the grilled fish that had already been cooked to the yellow-clad student, while Wang Dong accepted five copper soul coins.

The student in the yellow shirt took a bite of the grilled fish. The crispy skin, tender flesh, and fragrant oil made his eyes widen in amazement. He finished the fish in just a few bites.

"Junior, sell me a few more. I'll have dinner here tonight!"

Just then, several female students in purple school uniforms walked out of the gate of Shrek Academy. The female student at the front attracted countless eyes as soon as she appeared.

"Junior, how much is your grilled fish?" Jiang Nannan asked softly.

"Senior, five copper soul coins for one." Just as Huo Zhanji was about to speak, Wang Dong interrupted.

The stunningly beautiful girl frowned slightly and said, "That's a bit expensive. Considering the cost and your processing, three copper soul coins should be enough, and you'll still make a profit."

"Sorry, my grilled fish is non-negotiable, and we've already sold out for today," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

Just then, a deep but angry voice rang out, "Kid, you dare not sell?"

Immediately afterwards, a golden light shot straight toward Huo Zhanji's stall.

"Ding—" The golden light accurately hit the oven and actually embedded itself completely inside; it was a gold soul coin.

Xu Sanshi stepped past Jiang Nannan, took a step forward, and reached out to grab Huo Zhanji's chest. Huo Zhanji raised his right hand, ready to teach Xu Sanshi a lesson.

"Stop! Xu Sanshi!" Jiang Nannan looked at Xu Sanshi with a furious expression.

Wang Dong, standing beside Huo Zhanji, had already made his move. A pair of blue butterfly wings instantly unfurled from behind Wang Dong, the color of the forewings changing from dark to light, the entire wing surface resembling a blue sky inlaid with a string of bright halos.

"First Soul Skill, Winged Guillotine!" Golden light patterns spread across Wang Dong's wings, and the edges of the Light Goddess Butterfly's wings gleamed with sharpness as it flapped its wings and flew towards Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi's reaction was not slow. Three spirit rings instantly rose from his feet. The best spirit ring combination of two yellow and one purple proved to everyone that he was a spirit master. His originally fair skin also became dull when the spirit rings appeared. His muscles began to swell. In Xu Sanshi's right hand, a black tortoise shell shield appeared.

Xu Sanshi, holding a huge tortoise-shell shield, thrust it forward.

The sharp edge of the winged guillotine swept past the Xuanming tortoise shell shield. Xu Sanshi immediately raised the shield to defend against Wang Dong's attack. However, Wang Dong's winged guillotine seemed to have eyes, and Xu Sanshi was defeated.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Sanshi glared angrily, "Good, very good. Few people of the same level can break through my defense."

"Xu Sanshi, stop right there!" Jiang Nannan stood in front of Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong, glaring angrily at Xu Sanshi. "Bullying the younger ones, mistreating freshmen—aren't you ashamed enough?!"

After Jiang Nannan said that, Xu Sanshi calmed down. "Nannan, he obviously still has grilled fish left. How dare he not sell it to you? I'm just standing up for you."

Jiang Nannan angrily retorted, "Xu Sanshi, I've told you before, there's no possibility between us. Please don't bother me anymore." After saying this, she turned and walked out.

Xu Sanshi looked embarrassed, then straightened up abruptly and glared at the crowd of onlookers. "What are you looking at? Everyone, disperse."

Xu Sanshi snorted coldly and was about to turn and leave.

"You overturned my stall, and now you think you can just walk away like this?" Huo Zhanji walked past Wang Dong and stood in front of Xu Sanshi.

"Fine! As long as you dare to come and fight me in the Soul Arena, I'll compensate you for all your losses!" Xu Sanshi was clearly anxious and needed someone to vent his anger on.

"I can play, but if you lose, how will you compensate me for my losses?" Huo Zhan asked urgently.

Xu Sanshi said nonchalantly, "I'll compensate you for your losses."

Huo Zhanji stared at Xu Sanshi: "I don't need you to compensate me for these things, I need three Xuan Shui Pills!"

Upon hearing Huo Zhanji mention the Xuan Shui Pill, Xu Sanshi suddenly sobered up. "Impossible. I can't give you the Xuan Shui Pill, let alone three. Let's compromise. I'll give you two Xuan Shui Pills, but if you lose, you have to give me a wager of equal value."

"Deal!" Huo Zhanji quickly agreed.

Those around him witnessed the bet, and Xu Sanshi couldn't back out, so he silently walked towards the Soul Fighting Zone.
