Selling Huo Yuhao to the Body Clan?

Bei Bei could clearly sense the oppressive aura emanating from Ning Wuque. It was at least at the level of a Soul Elder! And he had not even unleashed his martial soul, yet he already possessed such tangible pressure. That could only prove that his physical body had reached that standard as well.

Terrifying. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan might be about to rise again.

In Bei Bei's understanding, perhaps only his great-grandfather, whose dragon had once dominated the world, possessed such strength at that age.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had a very good relationship with Shrek. It was even one of Shrek's investors. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion was also close to Shrek.

However, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had shown signs of decline in recent years, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan also seemed to be gradually going downhill, while Shrek Academy had continued to flourish!

Before long, under Wu Feng's money and pressure, Huo Yuhao went off to spear some fish.

The three found a place to sit together. Across from them, Tang Ya was already eating the grilled fish she held in her hands.

"His martial soul is his eyes."

Just as both sides had fallen somewhat silent, Ning Wuque, who had been watching Huo Yuhao the entire time, suddenly spoke.

His words immediately drew Ning Tian's attention. She said,

"Eyes? Not a bad martial soul. With a Body Spirit Soul of that level, his Innate Soul Power should be quite decent, right?"

Talent radar, activated!

Ning Tian might not have read widely, but she was thoroughly familiar with basic common knowledge.

The importance of eyes to the human body went without saying. Normally, according to the Body Clan's standards, someone with such a martial soul was at the very least a prospect capable of reaching Soul Douluo.

Not to mention that she could sell Huo Yuhao to the Body Clan and have them owe the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan a favor. It was the best of both worlds!

"His eyes are glowing. It may be more than that. Should we ask him later?"

"We can."

Ning Tian nodded. They could not casually let a talent like this slip away.

Across from them, Tang Ya and Bei Bei heard their conversation but said nothing. Both knew what kind of sect the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was, so they were not surprised that Ning Tian was curious about Huo Yuhao and intended to recruit him.

Tang Ya was merely a little dejected. The cook she had just taken a liking to might be getting snatched away. So unwilling~

Soon, Huo Yuhao returned with several more fish. He sat between the two groups, focused on grilling fish for the new customers.

"Little Brother Yuhao, you do not mind if I call you that, right? May I ask what your martial soul is? What attribute does it have?"

"O-of course! My martial soul is my eyes, with a spiritual attribute."

Huo Yuhao jolted in fright. He had a good eye for people. These three newcomers clearly came from wealthy and influential families. That Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan sounded formidable just from its name alone.

Moreover, he envied what the three had said earlier. All three of them were headed to Shrek Academy, the continent's number one academy. If it was a place like that, they would surely grow into powerful soul masters, right?

Powerful enough... to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!

"A spiritual attribute!"

Ning Tian cried out in surprise. Eyes themselves did not possess a spiritual attribute. If they did, there was only one possibility: this martial soul was a fusion of the brain and eyes!

That was the brain, one of the most important parts of the human body! Perhaps only a heart martial soul or the skin across one's entire body could compare to it. Beyond that was the current Sect Master of the Body Clan's peerless Body Spirit Soul.

This was a talent, an exceedingly rare talent! More importantly, he was a talent who could drive the Body Clan mad with excitement!

"Little Brother Yuhao's martial soul is actually so powerful!"

Tang Ya was the one who spoke. Naturally, she understood what it meant for an eye martial soul to possess a spiritual attribute. She had thought Huo Yuhao was a useless card not even worth an R rating, but he turned out to be an SSR?!

Huo Yuhao, who was grilling fish, froze. Looking at the reactions on both sides, he said in confusion,

"But I only have Rank One Innate Soul Power. Is this kind of martial soul really that impressive?"

"Body Spirit Souls are like that. If I am not mistaken, your life before this was likely worse than that of an ordinary person. Eating only two meals a day was probably normal, and there was not much meat either. Your body could not receive enough nutrition.

Generally speaking, the Innate Soul Power of a Body Spirit Soul is linked to the physical condition of the soul master when they awaken. Its upper limit depends on the importance of the Body Spirit Soul."

The knowledgeable Ning Wuque casually explained the reason, then added as he looked at Huo Yuhao's dimmed eyes,

"But do not worry. As far as I know, if you can go to the Heaven Dou Empire and find a sect called the Body Clan, they have ways to help you obtain the talent you should have had in the first place, perhaps even take it further."

"R-really, Brother Wuque?"

Light flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he looked at Ning Wuque with eager hope. Only after the latter nodded did he feel overjoyed.

But then he became despondent again. The Heaven Dou Empire was unimaginably far away, and the journey was fraught with danger. With his abilities, he might not be able to reach it at all. Even if he knew of this hope, it would be useless.

And most importantly, would the people of the Body Clan really choose to help him? Help a little piece of trash with Rank One Innate Soul Power who was nearly twelve and had only just reached Rank Ten?

"Hey, hey, hey, watch the grilled fish. I paid for it, you know. Focus!"

Wu Feng reminded him, and only then did Huo Yuhao resume grilling the fish attentively, no longer thinking about all those miscellaneous matters.

After all, they were far too distant for him right now.

On the spot, Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance, while Ning Wuque and Ning Tian exchanged one as well. Then they spoke in unison.

"Yuhao, do you want to join our Tang Sect?"

"Yuhao, if you are willing, I can give you a little help."

Ning Wuque folded his arms as he watched Tang Ya rise to her feet. He did not mind giving Huo Yuhao a better life.

Compared with Shrek, perhaps the Body Clan was truly the place best suited for him. Then both Huo Yuhao and the Body Clan would owe him this favor. Why not?

Besides, with the Body Clan's education and internal atmosphere, Huo Yuhao would only grow into a man of loyalty and righteousness. Would that not be far better than staying at Shrek with this bunch of assholes?

It was only because he had to accompany Ning Tian. Otherwise, Ning Wuque would rather deal with the people of the Body Clan than go to Shrek. With his clan's support, he might already be qualified to contact the Body Clan.

Across from him, Tang Ya also did not want to let such a talent go. She intended to use the Tang Sect to entice the young and ignorant Huo Yuhao.

The two exchanged looks, each seeing the other's thoughts.

Caught in the middle, Huo Yuhao was at a loss. He picked up the fish he had just finished grilling, unable to understand why he had suddenly become so "popular."

"Here, your fish."

In the end, Huo Yuhao chose to hand the grilled fish to Wu Feng first, then added,

"If... if it is not enough, I can keep grilling more."

Two Gold Soul Coins—at this moment, they were probably worth more in Huo Yuhao's heart than dozens of fish combined.

He could not neglect hungry customers because of himself, nor could he betray his own conscience.

This book has two arrangements for Huo Gua. One is for him to serve as a tool for the protagonist to forge a full-body Rank Ten Soul Guidance Training Gear, and the other is to send him to the Body Clan so he can build connections.

Both arrangements will happen. The difference lies in their order and timing.

For example, the first Soul Master Tournament would be a very good entry point. There happen to be two Body Clan members stationed there.

The protagonist's personality would not allow his opinion of the future Huo Gua to affect his view of the current Huo Gua.

The author has always believed that people cannot be fixed permanently along a single path. The saying that it is easier to change rivers and mountains than a person's nature explains certain things: difficult to change, but not impossible to change.
