Tang Sect Revival? What a Joke

After some discussion, the four of them went to the academy's cafeteria for a simple lunch before heading to the Douluo Zone.

After paying the venue rental fee, Yue began acting as a sparring partner to hone the team's skills.

Time slipped away with each clash of Soul Skills, and soon it was nearly time for classes to end.

"Want to go to the East Gate together? I know a place that sells really good grilled fish, sold by that Huo Yuhao from Class One," Yue invited Ning Tian and Wu Feng after leaving the Douluo Zone.

They both had an impression of Huo Yuhao; he trained diligently under Zhou Yi every day. They hadn't expected him to be selling grilled fish after school, probably due to his difficult circumstances.

After some thought, Ning Tian nodded gently. "Grilled fish that even classmate Yue praises, I'd like to try what it tastes like."

"Then let's go."

The two figures originally heading towards the East Gate turned into four. Just as they were about to reach the East Gate, Little Ka left the Sea of Consciousness punctually, took Yue's arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Yiren, did you miss me?" Little Ka playfully nudged her face towards Yue.

Yue poked her forehead helplessly. "Every moment."

Hearing the answer she wanted, Little Ka smiled with satisfaction.

She then turned to Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were startled by her sudden appearance, and said, "Classmate Ning Tian, classmate Wu Feng, nice to meet you! My name is Katyusha!"

Katyusha greeted them with a cheerful smile.

The two recovered from their shock and greeted Little Ka back. Although they didn't understand her situation, seeing that Yue didn't seem inclined to explain, they didn't ask further.

But it had to be said, girls just clicked, and soon Little Ka was chatting comfortably with them.

Meng didn't join them. Since Little Ka wasn't clinging to her brother today, she tightly held onto Yue's arm, refusing to let go.

There was nothing he could do but indulge her.

The group soon walked out of the East Gate. Yue's eyes immediately caught a fiery red figure leaving Huo Yuhao's stall with Xu Sanshi.

Yue paid them no mind and led the four girls to Huo Yuhao's stall. Just then, Beibei and Tang Ya also walked over.

"Little Yue, you've got two more girls around you after just a few days?" Tang Ya looked at Yue and the Ning Tian and Wu Feng behind him with a gossipy expression.

Yue coughed twice and quickly explained, "The freshman assessment is coming up, and I'm in a group by myself. These two are Ning Tian and Wu Feng from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and they're in a group with Meng. I was just helping them practice their teamwork, and after that, we decided to come try Yuhao's grilled fish together."

He then looked at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, have you sold out of grilled fish today? If not, I'll take another two."

"Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao and Senior Xu Sanshi just bought four. Besides your three, Teacher Xiao Ya's two, and Wang Dong's two, there are nine left."

Yue nodded and handed a Gold Soul Coin to Huo Yuhao. "In that case, I'll buy the remaining nine. Senior Beibei, want to join us for some?"

Beibei flashed his signature bright smile. "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Yue smiled. "Of course, it's just a few grilled fish."

And so, Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall was bought out. Later students could only leave with regret.

The group sat down at Huo Yuhao's stall and ate the grilled fish. Ning Tian and Wu Feng, eating it for the first time, had their eyes light up and praised it enthusiastically.

"Little Yuhao, as your teacher, I can't eat so much of your grilled fish for free. You have the freshman assessment coming up, and this should be helpful for you." Tang Ya said while eating, placing a Storage Soul Tool into Huo Yuhao's hand. "Take a look when you get back."

Huo Yuhao nodded and put it into his Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.

Tang Ya then turned her gaze to Yue Hongchen. "Little Yue, with your strength, passing the freshman assessment won't be difficult. I don't have much I can do to help you, so I can only cheer you on."

"Of course, if you're willing to join the Tang Sect, we can teach you our sect's ultimate techniques."

Yue quickly waved his hand. This wasn't the first time Tang Ya had invited him to join the Tang Sect, but he genuinely didn't have a good impression of it.

"Senior Sister Ya, it's not that I don't want to join. You know I'm from the Hongchen Family, and I'm already slated to enter Mingde Hall to take over my grandfather's position, so..." To completely extinguish Tang Ya's hopes, Yue directly brought up Mingde Hall, and even borrowed Xiao's heir status.

Hearing this, Tang Ya instantly became dejected. She knew very well what Mingde Hall was; it was an existence comparable to the Sea God's Pavilion in the academy.

"Sigh, alright, alright. Since that's the case, I won't force it." Tang Ya took a large bite of grilled fish, feeling a bit down. She had finally met such a powerful genius, only to find out he was already the heir to Mingde Hall. She couldn't poach him, and her Tang Sect, with its ultimate techniques and some basic hidden weapons, had nothing else.

"Senior Sister Ya, does the Tang Sect still have hope of revival?" Ning Tian, who had been listening to their conversation, couldn't help but ask. "The appearance of Soul Tools has left hidden weapons with no room to survive. All the Tang Sect has left to show off are those ultimate techniques, right?"

Though she didn't want to admit it, Tang Ya nodded. She didn't have a particularly strong sense of belonging to the Tang Sect, but she was born and raised in it. Her parents were the previous sect leaders, and under her leadership, the Tang Sect's foundation had been eroded. This had become an obsession for her.

Seeing her expression, both Yue and Beibei gently shook their heads. If it weren't for Tang Ya, Beibei wouldn't have joined the declining Tang Sect. This meant that only Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao were left in the Tang Sect.

Wang Dong, overhearing their conversation, instinctively wanted to retort, but it seemed there was no fault in what was said.

At the same time, she belatedly realized why she was so attached to the Tang Sect. For a moment, she fell into internal turmoil, as if a voice in her mind was tempting her to join the Tang Sect.

The topic suddenly became so heavy. Yue took in everyone's expressions, and a plan began to take shape in his mind.

"Senior Sister Ya, I can't help you revive the Tang Sect, but after my cultivation becomes powerful, I can help you reclaim the old Tang Sect site. If you still want to revive the Tang Sect then, you can rebuild it there."

Ning Tian made up her mind and chimed in, "Senior Sister Ya, if you still want to revive the Tang Sect then, I can provide the funds for its reconstruction."

Hearing their words, Tang Ya's dim eyes lit up again. To be honest, she didn't know what she would do after reclaiming the old Tang Sect site. Reviving the Tang Sect was just something she said nicely; it was hard to take that step. If she relied only on hidden weapons, even if it were rebuilt, it would only be destroyed again in the future.

"Thank you. I'll think about it carefully. After the old Tang Sect site is reclaimed, I'll give you a definite answer." Tang Ya stood up and thanked them. The unpleasant conversation finally came to an end.

Afterward, Tang Ya and Beibei discussed some matters regarding the freshman assessment. Seeing that it was getting late, the group said their goodbyes and returned to their respective residences.

Unbeknownst to them, after they finished discussing the Tang Sect, a divine power of blue light quietly flew towards Tang Ya's Sea of Consciousness. But just as it was about to succeed, a divine power filled with destructive energy shattered it.
