Huo Yuhao: Something Happened!

Bei Bei stood to the side, looking at the lively girl beside her, feeling somewhat helpless.

In Bei Bei's eyes, Tang Ya was perfect in every way.

But he also had to admit that Tang Ya sometimes spoke without thinking.

He leaned close to Tang Ya's ear and whispered, "He's wearing a school uniform, so he's obviously Shrek Academy."

Tang Ya was taken aback upon hearing this, and then glanced at the clothes on Huo Yuhao's body.

She blinked sheepishly, but didn't seem embarrassed at all.

Seeing this, Bei Bei could only shake her head helplessly, then looked at Huo Yuhao with a gentle smile on her face.

"Brother Yuhao, I never expected we'd actually meet at Shrek."

Huo Yuhao stood up, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

"Senior Bei Bei, Senior Tang Ya, it's been a long time."

Tang Ya looked at him, her bright eyes blinking, and blurted out, "Yuhao, are you interested in joining the Tang Sect now?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei couldn't help but facepalm.

Here we go again.

Over the years, Tang Ya has almost gone mad in her efforts to revive the Tang Sect.

Whenever they meet someone they like, their first reaction is to invite them to join the Tang Sect.

The problem is, the Tang Sect is no longer the Tang Sect it once was.

The once vast sect is now reduced to just the two of them.

Huo Yuhao was about to speak when, unexpectedly, Wang Dong, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly stood up.

"Tang Sect?!"

His voice carried a mixture of surprise, excitement, and a complex mix of emotions that even he himself couldn't quite articulate.

Tang Ya turned her head and looked at Wang Dong. Her eyes lit up immediately.

What a handsome little boy!

Wang Dong didn't know what was wrong with him.

Hearing just one name made my heart feel like it had been struck by something, and an indescribable excitement surged up.

That feeling was as if something etched into my bones had been suddenly awakened.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Ya's smile grew even brighter, "That's right! It's the Tang Sect, once the number one sect on the continent!"

She paused, tilted her head to look at Wang Dong, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Little brother, would you like to join our Tang Sect?"

"Great! I've heard that the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons are amazing, I'll join!"

Wang Dong's words came out without hesitation, crisp and decisive.

Tang Ya was taken aback upon hearing this.

She had only asked the question instinctively, but she hadn't expected Wang Dong to agree so readily.

"Ah?"

Tang Ya blinked, a hint of confusion flashing across her lively face before being replaced by ecstatic joy.

She jumped up immediately, her voice rising several decibels with excitement. "Great! That's wonderful! Welcome to the Tang Sect!"

"Including you, there are three of us from the Tang Sect now!"

Tang Ya was excited for a while, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly.

Huo Yuhao met those bright, sparkling eyes, but still slowly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Senior Tang Ya, I still have no intention of joining a sect."

Tang Ya's expectation dimmed slightly for a moment, but she quickly smiled again and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, no pressure!"

She turned to look at Wang Dong beside her, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face again, "I'm already very excited to have recruited this little brother!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Bei Bei and Tang Ya said their goodbyes and left.

Just then, the grilled meat skewers were served, piled high on the simple little table in front of them.

Wang Dong grabbed a skewer, took a big bite, and asked indistinctly as he chewed, "Um... Yuhao, why don't you join the Tang Sect?"

"Even though the Tang Sect is weak now, their Tang Sect techniques are still very powerful."

Huo Yuhao naturally knew about the Tang Sect Secret Arts; he had personally experienced them ten thousand years later.

However, it was no longer of much use to him.

He had read the historical records about himself, and in the later stages, the unique skills of the Tang Sect no longer enhanced his combat power.

Moreover... he has already decided that in a few years he will begin to build the Spirit Pagoda in this world ten thousand years ago, so naturally he will not focus his attention on the Tang Sect.

These thoughts raced through Huo Yuhao's mind before he said, "You'll find out later."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong glared at him fiercely.

With his mouth still full of uneaten roasted meat, his cheeks bulging, he stubbornly pouted and mumbled indistinctly, "Hmph! You're doing this again! Playing mysterious!"

He looked just like an angry pufferfish.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh when he saw his expression.

After a satisfying barbecue, both of them were covered in grease. Wang Dong patted his slightly protruding belly contentedly before following Huo Yuhao along the wide main road of the academy, slowly heading towards the dormitory.

It was nearly dusk.

The fiery red sunset hung on the horizon, dyeing the clouds in varying shades of red.

Bathed in the last rays of sunlight, Shrek Academy seemed to be draped in a golden veil.

The ancient buildings, the old trees lining the road... all were bathed in a warm glow, peaceful and serene.

Ever since witnessing Huo Yuhao's strength firsthand, Wang Dong has changed his lazy ways.

These past few days, I've been seizing every night to cultivate my Soul Power, and I dare not slack off in the slightest.

Although he didn't say it, his competitive spirit was completely ignited.

As they stepped onto the bluestone slabs of Shrek Square, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped.

Wang Dong also stopped and turned to look at him, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately. He stood there, his gaze fixed on the distant Sea God Lake, his brows slightly furrowed.

With his current Divine Power, even without using Spirit Detection, his perception far surpasses that of ordinary people.

At that moment, on the calm surface of the lake, he clearly sensed an unusual ripple.

"Something seems to have happened."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes lit up.

He has a natural tendency to enjoy watching a good show.

Upon hearing "Something's happened," instead of feeling nervous, they eagerly stepped forward. "Shall we go take a look?"

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Without saying a word, he darted eastward at breakneck speed.

Wang Dong followed closely behind, and the two figures sped off in the afterglow of the setting sun, disappearing at the end of the square in the blink of an eye.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto Sea God Lake, turning the entire lake surface into a flowing golden-red hue.

Suddenly...

A red figure streaked across the distance, skimming the surface of the lake at an astonishing speed.

It was a woman with long, fiery red hair that danced wildly in the wind, and it seemed as if there were tangible flames rising around her.

The flames were an eerie dark red, almost black, radiating a chillingly high temperature.

Wherever she passed, the lake water below was steamed into puffs of white vapor by the terrifying temperature, hissing and leaving a long white trail on the lake surface that lingered for Jiujiu.

In just a few breaths, the red figure had swept across the entire Sea God Lake and landed on the lakeside path.

It was dinnertime, and there weren't many people by the lake.

Not far from this red figure stood two people.

They were two girls, both with long blue hair, and identical delicate faces that looked very cute, with curved eyebrows and eyes that still had a touch of childishness.

They were freshmen in Class Seven of the first year of the Outer Court, twin sisters Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu.

At that moment, they were enjoying the scenery of Sea God Lake when this unexpected turn of events occurred.

The red figure suddenly appeared not far from them, emanating a terrifying heat.

Even from a great distance, the scorching heat wafted over, as if trying to bake you dry.

Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu looked up at the same time, staring at the figure.

With just one glance, all the color drained from their faces.

The two sisters reacted quickly, without any hesitation, turning around and running away into the distance.

They tried their best, moving quickly, but the red figure was even faster.

In the blink of an eye, the figure had already covered a distance of dozens of feet and rushed in front of them.

A hand was raised high and slammed down on them.

A strange red flame burned on that palm.

Before they even landed, the scorching heat rushed towards them, as if it wanted to engulf them completely.

There's no escaping it.

The thought flashed through both sisters' minds at the same time.

The two suddenly turned around and hugged each other tightly.

That's not about helplessly waiting to die in a desperate situation.

That was the innate understanding between twins, a last-ditch effort in dire straits.
