Moved by Electrolux

"Big brother, it's fine." Huo Yuhao could probably sense the goodwill from the other party, so he didn't reject the simple form of address. As he spoke, he continued preparing to catch fish.

Seeing this, Chen Junting flicked a finger!

A sharp burst of Soul Power sliced across the water without causing a single splash. In the span of a breath, a Green Fish several times larger than the earlier ones floated to the surface.

So strong!

At the streamside, Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

While he was still stunned, Chen Junting had already come to his side and hauled up the dead Green Fish. As he handed it to Huo Yuhao, he spoke, bringing him back to his senses.

"Yuhao, you don't have to call me big brother either. I guess you're eleven too, right? Since that's the case, I'm only a few months older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Junting."

Only a few months older!?

Recalling Brother Junting's display just now, Huo Yuhao accepted the Green Fish with secret astonishment. Then he thought of his current cultivation, and bitterness rose in his heart.

Am I really this weak?

Can I still get my revenge?

Noticing the change in Huo Yuhao's mood, Chen Junting immediately realized that his words might have been somewhat inappropriate.

But now, there seemed to be no way to make up for it.

Just then, Wu Feng, who had already finished the Grilled Fish in her hands, suddenly came over and stared at the Green Fish Huo Yuhao was holding with shining eyes. "Huo Yuhao, can you finish that Green Fish?"

"Do you still want to eat?"

Wu Feng's words instantly brought Huo Yuhao back to his senses.

This earned her an appreciative look from Chen Junting.

Appreciation was one thing, but greedy behavior was unacceptable.

Thus, just as Wu Feng was about to nod, Chen Junting pressed a finger against her forehead and refused Huo Yuhao's invitation on her behalf. He gestured for Huo Yuhao to finish eating first, then trouble him afterward.

And so, the three of them watched as the White Tiger Dagger in Huo Yuhao's hand flashed through the air, cleaning the scales from the large Green Fish.

Since Wu Feng's attention was focused entirely on eating, she didn't notice. Ning Tian, however, discovered that the dagger in Huo Yuhao's hand was actually a Soul Tool, and its grade was definitely no lower than Level 3.

After that, Huo Yuhao roasted several more rounds of fish.

This time, Chen Junting didn't refuse.

In the end, the three of them ate their fill of Grilled Fish! Wu Feng even invited Huo Yuhao to become their chef.

But Huo Yuhao ultimately refused.

"What a pity."

Watching Huo Yuhao's departing figure, Wu Feng felt somewhat disappointed. Then, realizing the direction he had taken, she slightly furrowed her brows. "Seriously, I'm not looking down on him. Huo Yuhao isn't planning to enter the Star Dou Forest alone to hunt for a Soul Ring, is he?"

"With his strength, I'm afraid he couldn't even beat a ten-year Wind Baboon, right?"

Wu Feng's words were blunt, but the concern in her tone was clear. However, the words "Wind Baboon" made Chen Junting repeatedly glance at her with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Noticing Chen Junting's gaze, Wu Feng asked curiously.

"Nothing."

Before Wu Feng could continue asking, he changed the subject.

"You want to help him?"

Hearing this, Wu Feng shook her head and then looked toward Ning Tian. Her meaning was obvious: Ning Tian would decide.

"Brother Junting, do you think he might be from some powerful faction? After all, the Soul Tool dagger in his hand is worth quite a lot."

"A Soul Tool? What Soul Tool?"

Ignoring Wu Feng's interruption, Chen Junting pointed out Huo Yuhao's circumstances.

"Look at his skinny build. Anyone can tell he suffered from malnutrition as a child. Does he look like the son of some powerful faction? As for the Soul Tool... given his situation, he might be some kind of illegitimate son."

Ning Tian had no objections to this "guess."

After all, this was the explanation that best fit reality.

"Also, Xiao Tian, I suggest we recruit Huo Yuhao into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Chen Junting's words stunned both Wu Feng and Ning Tian. They had only been considering whether to help him, yet Chen Junting was now suggesting that they recruit him into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! And this was based on Huo Yuhao's current talent?

"Hey! Sword Man, did you make a mistake?"

Wu Feng was the first to voice her doubts. "Although we have a decent impression of Huo Yuhao, recruiting him into the Sect is too much, isn't it? His talent is only... he's just at Level 10 cultivation! Even a dog would shake its head after seeing it."

"Brother Junting, Wu Feng is right."

Ning Tian nodded slightly in agreement.

"Is that so?"

Facing their doubts, Chen Junting smiled lightly. "Then didn't you notice his Martial Soul while he was roasting the fish?"

"Martial Soul?"

Ning Tian slightly furrowed her brows. She knew Brother Junting wouldn't make such claims without reason. But she had observed the situation carefully at the time. She hadn't noticed any obvious changes in Huo Yuhao, nor had she seen any sign of a Tool Martial Soul.

"His Martial Soul is his eyes."

In the end, Chen Junting revealed the answer.

"His eyes!? A Body Martial Soul!?"

Although Body Martial Souls were exceptionally rare, Ning Tian had still heard of them. As the Young Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she was especially familiar with the various major factions on the continent. Among them was the Body Sect, which was made up entirely of Body Martial Soul Soul Masters.

"That's right. It's a Body Martial Soul that may be very weak in the early stages, but will become tremendously powerful after he grows. Especially Huo Yuhao's eyes. If his eyes are also connected to his brain, then his Martial Soul is one of the top-tier Body Martial Souls. And if he also possesses talent as a Soul Engineer, then as a Spirit-type Soul Master, once his cultivation reaches the required level, he might even become a Level 9 Soul Engineer."

"Huo Yuhao probably isn't from the Body Sect, is he?"

Ning Tian was clearly somewhat moved.

After all, even though the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect possessed a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device, they didn't have a single Level 9 Soul Engineer!

Moreover, this wasn't a baseless claim. The Sun Moon Empire placed tremendous importance on Spirit-type Soul Masters.

Huo Yuhao's cultivation, however, was a problem.

But Chen Junting's next words made her decide to find Huo Yuhao first and discuss the rest later.

"According to the records, although the people of the Body Sect act eccentric and overbearing, they treat those with Body Martial Souls extremely well. Huo Yuhao clearly isn't one of them. He probably doesn't even know what the Body Sect is."

"So Huo Yuhao is a blank slate who might have the potential to become a Level 9 Soul Engineer?" Wu Feng listened for a long while before making her final summary.

"That's right."

"Since that's the case..."

Ning Tian looked in the direction Huo Yuhao had left. "Brother Junting, please follow him first. The Star Dou Forest is not far ahead, so we should prevent him from being attacked by any Soul Beasts. As for whether to bring him into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect... we'll decide when the time comes."

"Fine."

Chen Junting didn't hesitate.

After instructing Wu Feng to protect Ning Tian once they entered the forest, he summoned the Seven Kills Sword, and the third five-pointed star lit up.

"Third Soul Skill, Sword Wings Soaring."

He stepped onto the sword and flew toward Huo Yuhao!

Once he realized that Huo Yuhao's joining the Tang Sect might not have been Tang San's doing, he had already considered bringing Huo Yuhao into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Not to mention Huo Yuhao's identity as the Child of Destiny, his talent for Soul Tools in the original story alone was enough to let the Sect rise to another level!

As a member of the Sect, Chen Junting naturally had to consider the interests of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. As for whether he would succeed...

He believed there would be no surprises.

With the speed of the Third Soul Skill, Sword Wings Soaring, Chen Junting quickly approached Huo Yuhao's location while flying on his sword.

But at that moment, an unexpected development occurred!

An invisible spiritual fluctuation instantly spread outward. Anyone caught within it would immediately fall into a daze.

If they were flying through the air, they would fall miserably.

Just as Chen Junting was about to be caught by the fluctuation, the bright sky suddenly erupted with a thunderous boom! The entire sky grew extremely dark, and an indescribably immense pressure suddenly descended from above! At the same time, this pressure completely destroyed the spiritual fluctuation nearest to the area.

The region where Chen Junting was happened to be breaking apart just as the fluctuation was about to reach him. This caused Chen Junting, who had been flying on his sword, to stop.

Looking at the birds falling from the sky ahead, he couldn't help feeling shaken. He had completely forgotten that when the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became Huo Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Ring, something like this would happen.

If he had fallen from here without any preparation...

His life wouldn't have been in danger, but he definitely would have been battered.

This also sounded an alarm for the innate superiority he possessed as a transmigrator. It reminded him not to act recklessly just because he had foresight. Otherwise, some overlooked detail could teach him a painful lesson.

But at that moment, he looked up.

"It's Electrolux!"

In the distant sky, a Gray Airflow emerged.

But the Gray Airflow seemed to freeze in midair for a moment, as though an invisible force was resisting it. Just as it was about to force its way through, it seemed to sense something.

Its direction suddenly changed, and it charged toward Chen Junting!

Seeing this, Chen Junting hadn't even had time to react.

The Gray Airflow instantly plunged into his mind. At that moment, only one thought remained in his heart.

Is he coming for me?!
