The scene fell silent!
After relaying Tang San's words,
Bei Bei and Tang Ya both turned to look at Huo Yuhao, waiting to see how he would respond.
"Yuhao Didi, will you agree this time?"
"You've already witnessed the power of my Tang Sect's secret arts."
"Surely you've changed your mind now, right?"
Tang Ya thought to herself.
She consoled herself that Huo Yuhao's earlier refusal to join the Tang Sect might have been because he did not know enough about it.
But just now, Bei Bei had demonstrated the power of the Tang Sect's secret arts before Huo Yuhao.
He had even defeated that thousand-year Mandala Snake using the Tang Sect's secret arts alone.
Having seen that, Huo Yuhao would surely reconsider, right?
Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly.
"Yuhao Didi should agree, right?"
"Since even that senior said Yuhao was fated to be with our Tang Sect, then it must be true."
"Besides, I really do hope Yuhao joins us. He has a good temperament, and his martial soul has great potential. It would be wonderful if he joined the Tang Sect."
Bei Bei also looked at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.
However, Huo Yuhao's response remained as unwavering as ever.
Even after witnessing the power of the Tang Sect's secret arts, his answer did not change in the slightest.
"Sorry."
With a sigh, Huo Yuhao apologetically declined their offer.
"Ah, is that so? What a pity."
Tang Ya blinked her large eyes pitifully. Once she confirmed that acting cute was ineffective, she could only accept this cruel reality.
"In that case, Teacher Xiao Ya should absorb the Soul Ring first. Then we'll head to Shrek Academy together."
Bei Bei smiled gently.
Though he also found it a great pity, since this was Huo Yuhao's choice, he chose to respect it.
He quickly turned toward Tang Ya, signaling for her to sit down and begin absorbing the Soul Ring.
"Alright."
Tang Ya obediently sat down and began absorbing the Soul Ring.
Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei waited quietly at the side.
"Is that kid out of his mind?"
"He even refused that?"
In the God Realm,
Tang San, who had originally felt certain of victory, was now so furious he was nearly losing his mind.
He anxiously scratched at his head and ears.
No matter how long he thought about it, he could not understand why Huo Yuhao was still unmoved after seeing his Tang Sect's secret arts.
Was it because the Tang Sect's secret arts were not good enough?
Tang San thought that was impossible. On the Douluo Continent, there could not possibly be any secret arts superior to those of the Tang Sect.
Then could it be that Huo Yuhao had mastered some even more powerful secret arts?
Tang San found that even more ridiculous. He knew Huo Yuhao's background better than anyone.
He was just a destitute poor boy. How could he be like Tang San himself, a noble transmigrator?
Come to think of it, things like the Mysterious Heaven Skill had been brought over by Tang San from another world.
How could that boy possibly have encountered such a fortunate opportunity?
Yet that only made Tang San even more confused.
Why would Huo Yuhao refuse to join the Tang Sect?
Logically, he had no reason to refuse.
This was simply absurd!
Tang San thought for a long time but could not make sense of it.
Just as he was about to make his next move, he received a message—the God of Destruction wanted to discuss something with him.
That immediately gave Tang San a headache.
"I'll have Xiao Qi keep an eye on him for now."
"She's on the Douluo Continent anyway, so finding that kid won't be difficult."
"And with my daughter's beauty, if she lays the groundwork with him first, then once she grows up, controlling him will be effortless."
"So what if he won't join the Tang Sect? I refuse to believe he can resist my daughter's beauty!"
After some consideration, he made his decision.
There was no helping it. As a law enforcer of the God Realm, Tang San occasionally had to handle matters in the God Realm.
But time flowed too quickly on the Douluo Continent. Sometimes, if he failed to pay attention for even a brief while, a long time had already passed down there.
So the solution he came up with was to have his daughter first lurk by Huo Yuhao's side.
After all, once he became his son-in-law, he would be one of Tang San's people anyway.
Besides, Tang San did not necessarily have to give his daughter to him. As long as she could enchant him until he was utterly infatuated,
and Tang San placed a seal within his daughter's body,
then Huo Yuhao could only serve him loyally like a little dog waiting for its master's charity.
If he wanted to truly receive his daughter's favor, he would have to watch his father-in-law's expression.
When the time came, whatever Tang San told him to do, he would have to do it.
"Mm, this is the plan."
Pleased with his thoughts, Tang San smiled smugly and first arranged for the matter to be carried out.
Afterward, he hurried off to find the God of Destruction to discuss important business.
In the lower realm,
Huo Yuhao naturally had no idea that Tang San had already come up with such a sinister scheme to deal with him.
At that moment, he was still in the Star Dou Great Forest, waiting with Bei Bei as Tang Ya absorbed her Soul Ring.
However, they did not simply wait around. With nothing else to do, they chatted about various matters related to Soul Beasts and Soul Masters.
Huo Yuhao naturally knew all about such things.
After all, as a transmigrator, he possessed far too much information.
So Huo Yuhao knew basically everything Bei Bei knew. He even knew some things that Bei Bei did not.
That left Bei Bei at a loss.
He had originally intended to guide Huo Yuhao, but after chatting for a while, he discovered that he was the one who needed guidance. He immediately felt rather embarrassed.
His gaze toward Huo Yuhao became somewhat astonished, and he could not help saying,
"I truly didn't expect your knowledge to be so extensive, Yuhao. You know so much."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "Bei Bei-ge, you're flattering me. I just read a few more books when I had nothing to do."
Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao with even greater admiration. "That alone is already remarkable. In this restless world of Soul Masters, few people are willing to settle down and study anymore."
He also made up his mind that even if Huo Yuhao did not join the Tang Sect, he was determined to befriend him.
Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly heard Tang Ya let out a long breath from the side.
"Whew..."
Then she opened her eyes, and her entire vitality and spirit greatly improved.
In a Soul Master's cultivation, level thirty was an extremely important threshold. Crossing it and entering the Soul Elder realm carried immense significance.
Many Soul Masters with inferior talent might remain stuck at level twenty-nine for their entire lives, unable to advance another step.
"I succeeded!" Tang Ya jumped up excitedly, her face full of joy.
Bei Bei smiled. "Xiao Ya, congratulations."
Tang Ya cheered and gave him a big hug. "Bei Bei, thank you."
Bei Bei wrapped his arms around her delicate body and said dotingly, "I will definitely help you realize your dream."
Huo Yuhao watched the scene from the side with a face full of dark lines.
These two really had no regard whatsoever for anyone else's feelings.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Huo Yuhao turned and walked ahead, shifting his mood.
"Come to think of it, several days have already passed since I transmigrated to the Douluo Continent."
"I never expected so many things to happen in just these few days."
"Not only did I alter part of the original story's history, I even obtained greater opportunities."
"Then I need to work twice as hard from now on! After all, my enemies are still very powerful."
"If I don't work hard enough, I might end up with the same outcome as before. That's something I don't want to see."
"I wonder if I can successfully pass Shrek Academy's assessment."
"This concerns my next blind box reward. Nothing can go wrong."
As Huo Yuhao pondered this inwardly, he could not help quickening his pace.
