Huo Yuhao's Choice! (Please Bookmark, Recommend, and Vote!)

"This..."

A flicker of hesitation crossed Huo Yuhao's face.

Everything happening before him had already exceeded his expectations.

"Eye Martial Soul... Are you from the Body Sect?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Beibei spoke first in a deep voice.

His great-grandfather, Mu En, had suffered grave injuries in a life-and-death battle against Du Bisi, the former Sect Master of the Body Sect.

Later, in order to treat the injuries he had sustained in that battle with Du Bisi, Mu En consumed a Dragon Pill, ultimately ending up crippled as he was now.

That was why Beibei had no favorable impression of anyone from the Body Sect.

"I am not from the Body Sect."

Xu Tianming shook his head.

Beibei's face immediately showed surprise at those words.

He had an Eye Martial Soul and wanted to recruit Huo Yuhao, who possessed the same Eye Martial Soul, yet he was not from the Body Sect.

"Brother Xu, if you want to recruit him, you should at least state the name of your faction, shouldn't you?"

Beibei glanced at Huo Yuhao and spoke as though offering a reminder.

Huo Yuhao, who had still been in a state of confusion, immediately nodded as if he had found someone to rely on.

"Brother Xu, who exactly are you?"

"To be honest, I am from the Sun Moon Empire."

Seeing this, Xu Tianming knew he could no longer hide it and revealed his identity.

"The Sun Moon Empire?"

Upon hearing that, Beibei immediately stood up and shielded Tang Ya behind him, his face filled with vigilance.

Under the propaganda of the Three Douluo Kingdoms and Shrek Academy, most people of the Three Douluo Kingdoms regarded the Sun Moon Empire as their greatest future threat.

Beibei and Tang Ya were naturally no exception.

Huo Yuhao, however, stood frozen in place. To him, the Sun Moon Empire was merely a distant place that existed only in his mother's stories.

He also knew that the man who had abandoned his mother was stationed at the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

"What conspiracy have you people from the Sun Moon Empire come to the Star Dou Forest for?"

Beibei shouted sternly at Xu Tianming.

Xu Tianming could not even be bothered to spare Beibei a glance, instead speaking directly to Huo Yuhao.

"Our Sun Moon Empire values talent above all else. As long as you are willing to come with me to the Sun Moon Empire, you will surely accomplish great things in the future."

"And you will be able to do what you have always wanted to do."

After pausing, Xu Tianming finally asked,

"So, are you willing to come with me to the Sun Moon Empire?"

Huo Yuhao had gradually recovered from the barrage of information he had just received.

To be honest, he was already somewhat tempted.

He had no sense of belonging to the Star Luo Empire. He merely wanted to gain strength and take revenge on Duke White Tiger and the Duchess.

However, he also knew that with only innate Rank One Soul Power, it was nearly impossible for him to avenge himself.

But if he could receive the finest training from the Sun Moon Empire, that would be another matter entirely.

"Brother Huo, are you willing to join Shrek Academy?"

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to speak, Beibei once again beat him to it.

"Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent. If you enter Shrek Academy, you will certainly receive even better training!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Beibei himself froze.

Even he did not know why he had said that, or why he had invited Huo Yuhao to join Shrek Academy.

"To join Shrek Academy, one seems to need to be under twelve years old and have Soul Power at Rank Fifteen."

Xu Tianming raised a brow and said,

"You also need a recommendation letter from a city lord or higher within the Three Great Empires. Wouldn't it be rather difficult for Yuhao to join Shrek Academy?"

"It's fine. Our Tang Sect has one recommendation slot."

Tang Ya, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.

"Little Brother Yuhao, as long as you join our Tang Sect, I will give you this recommendation slot."

"With this recommendation slot, you can directly enter Shrek Academy!"

"Sister Tang Ya... Is that true?"

The joy on Huo Yuhao's face was almost impossible to conceal.

Since childhood, he had grown up listening to his mother tell the legends of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Naturally, he was filled with longing for both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

To the people of the Three Douluo Kingdoms, Shrek Academy was like a holy land.

It seemed that as long as one joined Shrek Academy, one would certainly become a powerful expert in the future.

"Of course it's true."

Tang Ya did not know why she valued a boy she had known for such a short time so highly, but she still nodded.

"Brother Xu, compared to the Sun Moon Empire, I would rather join Shrek Academy to study."

With almost no hesitation, Huo Yuhao bowed apologetically to Xu Tianming.

"So, Brother Xu, I'm sorry."

To be honest, Huo Yuhao's response was within Xu Tianming's expectations.

After all, in the eyes of the people of the Three Douluo Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire had always been an invader. Its reputation truly was not very good.

"It's all right. Everyone has the right to choose. No one can force another person to do something they are unwilling to do."

Xu Tianming reached out and helped Huo Yuhao up, then leaned close to his ear and whispered,

"One day, you will see Shrek Academy's true face clearly, and you will definitely come to the Sun Moon Empire to find me."

"Hm?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat confused. Shrek Academy's true face?

And why was this man so certain that he would go to the Sun Moon Empire?

But no matter what, he could tell that Xu Tianming thought very highly of him, and he could not help feeling somewhat moved.

"Since that is the case, it would not be convenient for me to travel with you any longer."

Xu Tianming patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder twice, then turned and headed off in the opposite direction.

Neither Beibei nor Tang Ya moved to stop him. They merely watched Xu Tianming leave with vigilance.

"Your Highness, that future Spirit Ice Douluo was unwilling to accept our recruitment?"

Only after Xu Tianming's figure had completely vanished from the trio's sight did Mu Ye appear at Xu Tianming's side.

"It's all right. After he spends some time in Shrek Academy, he will naturally give my suggestion serious consideration."

Xu Tianming knew very well that Shrek Academy did not initially value Huo Yuhao in the original story.

If he had a better choice, Huo Yuhao would surely make the right decision.

"Little Brother Yuhao, you came to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring, right?"

Beibei gave a light cough and said to Huo Yuhao,

"Tang Ya and I will first take you to hunt for a Soul Ring, then properly explain the rules of our Tang Sect to you."

"Then thank you, Brother Bei."

Huo Yuhao nodded to Beibei, and the three of them immediately headed deeper into the Star Dou Forest.

Naturally, they did not notice the two figures that had been following behind them the entire time.

"Fifty li ahead, you will enter the Star Dou Forest. Soul Beasts are active in the area. Please pay attention to your safety."

A wooden sign suddenly appeared before Huo Yuhao and the other two.

And the three of them stopped in their tracks without any warning.

"What powerful spiritual fluctuations!"

Mu Ye, who was following not far behind the three of them, suddenly frowned.

The next moment, the familiar system voice rang out in Xu Tianming's mind.
