Douluo Continent: I am Black Tiger Afu!

Ning Tian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

The Tang Clan? That sect is still alive!

She seemed to remember... the old site of the Tang Clan in Tiandou City was gone, it seemed to have been taken over by a third-rate sect called the Iron Blood Sect!

Out of politeness, she didn't say those words aloud, but simply shook her head slightly:

"I'm sorry! The Tang Sect was once a great sect, but we cannot join it."

Before Tang Ya could ask any questions, she proactively released her martial soul.

A magnificent seven-tiered pagoda appeared in her palm, with three rings of soul energy—yellow, yellow, and purple—shimmering and pulsating.

"We come from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and we came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my third spirit ring, which we have successfully acquired!"

Beibei and Tangya's eyes were instantly drawn to the seven-tiered, seven-colored pagoda in the girl's hand.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda definitely belongs to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!

And he's already a three-ring Soul Master!

A new student about to enroll, a three-ring Soul Master around 12 years old!

Tang Ya's newly formed idea of ​​recruiting vanished instantly.

While other first-year students have already reached the three-ring Soul Master level, she, as a fourth-year student, has only just reached level 30 and hasn't even acquired a Soul Ring yet. She's not even sure if she can break through to the Soul Master level before graduation.

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a sense of defeat, and an angry roar erupted in my heart!

Ugh! I'll draw a circle and curse you gifted freaks: may you fall asleep while meditating, and may your jerky get stuck in your teeth without a toothpick...

Beibei, standing to the side, was equally shocked, astonished by Ning Tian's talent.

But his gaze quickly shifted from Ning Tian to Afu, who had been standing beside Ning Tian!

From the moment these four people appeared, he sensed a vague sense of threat emanating from Afu.

For him to have such a feeling, the other party must also be a Soul Master.

The quality of this year's freshmen is simply terrifying!

Beibei sighed inwardly. But the tension that had been building up finally eased.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy have maintained a friendly relationship for ten thousand years.

Since the other party is from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, at least there's no need to worry about my and Ya Ya's safety.

Afu has never been particularly fond of such small talk.

Before leaving the sect, Sect Master Ning repeatedly instructed him: Don't be so reckless at Shrek Academy, leave external affairs to Ning Tian!

Your goal is to recruit talent, not to beat up students!

However, Afu was very dismissive of Ning Da Sect Master's theory. Recruiting talent? Isn't that just recruiting followers?

If you don't beat your underlings into submission, how can they willingly follow you?

No wonder the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has been producing fewer and fewer geniuses in recent decades!

Seeing that the two had finally finished their pleasantries, Afu turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao, who was standing silently to the side.

He had a good impression of Huo Yuhao in the early stages. Thinking he could take advantage of the situation, he directly approached Huo Yuhao and said:

"Hey kid! You look pretty good to me. Want to join my Mafia gang?"

Seeing that Afu was recruiting for the Black Hand Gang again, Ning Tian and the others also turned their attention to Huo Yuhao and the soul beast corpse next to him.

That... seems to be the Ten-Year Wind Baboon!

A weak Soul Master who absorbed a ten-year Soul Ring...

"Wait, what Black Hand Gang? Little Brother Yuhao already agreed to join our Tang Clan!"

Seeing that someone was trying to snatch away the only one willing to join their Tang Clan, Tang Ya disregarded her slight frustration and immediately interrupted to stop them.

"Oh, my Black Hand Gang is a gang organization, and we don't care if our members join other sects," Ah Fu replied.

"Hmph, our Tang Sect does not allow its disciples to join other organizations!"

Tang Ya stood in front of Huo Yuhao, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, refusing to budge an inch.

"Uh? Junior Ning? This Black Hand Gang is..."

At the crucial moment, it was Beibei who spoke up at the right time.

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian's expression became slightly unnatural:

"Um... what, this Black Hand Gang is a small group within our organization."

Hongyun is the gang leader, Yanfeng is the vice-gang leader, I'm the logistics manager, and then there's Wufeng, the gang's top fighter! There are also several other members…”

"Hey, what thug? I'm a vice leader too!" Upon hearing this, Wu Feng immediately protested from the side.

"Ah! I see..." Beibei suddenly understood.

This is just like the games we played when we were kids, with all those gangs and factions!

And... Beibei remembered that when he was a kid, he was so obsessed with his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) that he had also created a similar gang.

Although there are only three people in total: his great-grandfather, the current senior sister of the inner court, and himself.

Just as Afu looked at Huo Yuhao, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's mind gave him a reminder:

"Yuhao, little Yuhao, watch out for this man!"

His soul state is very strange.

During my fusion with you, he was the only conscious being, and he seemed to have witnessed the process of me merging into your body.

This person is a bit strange, you should be careful of him!

Huo Yuhao was slightly startled.

Even though Tianmeng is a million-year-old soul beast, he still makes me wary of the older brother in front of me.

Although I felt he didn't have any bad intentions towards me, my mother told me that one should always be wary of others.

Moreover, my mother once told me about the great history of the Tang Clan.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and politely shook his head at Afu:

"Thank you for your invitation, big brother. However, I have already decided to join the Tang Sect."

(At this time, Huo Yuhao was 11 years old, and Afu was a little over a year older than him. Moreover, one was thin and weak, while the other was tall and strong, so Huo Yuhao mistakenly thought that there was nothing wrong with his older brother.)

Then Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya in front of him, his expression solemn:

"Sister Xiaoya, I'm willing to join the Tang Sect!"

"Very good!"

Tang Ya's face immediately lit up with joy, all her previous slight annoyance vanished, and she excitedly patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, Yuhao! Although our Tang Sect is small in number now, we have just as many unique skills! Our first sect leader was none other than Tang San, who even became a god. Yuhao, you will never regret this decision!"

"Moreover, our Tang Sect has a special admission spot for Shrek Academy without taking the entrance exam!"

From now on, you'll not only be my little apprentice, but also my junior. How about it? Joining the Tang Clan is a good idea, isn't it?

"Really! Can I join Shrek Academy too?" Huo Yuhao immediately beamed with joy.

By joining Shrek Academy, he gained hope of becoming stronger. This would give him the ability to avenge his mother in the future.

Huo Yuhao, who had joined the Tang Clan, shouted "Revitalize the Tang Clan, starting with me!" along with Teacher Tang Ya, which made Tang Ya extremely happy.

Then he gave him a storage soul tool just like the one Tang San had, the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon.

Beibei, standing to the side, smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

He looked at Afu and explained, "Junior Brother Hongyun, since Yuhao has made his choice, I hope you can understand."

Afu shrugged indifferently:

"Alright, everyone has their own ambitions. I won't force you."

He only thought of helping Huo Yuhao because of a sliver of compassion from his past life.

However, regardless of whether it's a correction by the world's will or what Huo Yuhao himself thinks.

Since Huo Yuhao had still joined the Tang Sect, he said no more.

Even if he were to turn against me later, I would not show him any mercy!

"By the way, senior, you can just call me Afu from now on!" Afu waved casually.

"Alright, Brother Afu. Now that you've obtained your spirit rings, we won't travel with you. I still need to help Xiaoya obtain her spirit ring."

"See you at Shrek Academy again!" Beibei said, bowing to Afu.

With his sharp eyes, he could naturally see that although Ning Tian possessed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, the true leader of this group was actually the burly, red-haired man before him.

"Okay, see you later!" Afu nodded and bowed to Beibei in farewell.

The two groups parted ways and went their separate ways.
