You Should Go Too!

Wang Dong'er was getting dizzy from Tang Ya shaking her, and forcibly pulled her arm free.

"Senior, let go first..."

Just then, Dai Huabin came over with Zhu Lu and the others.

As soon as Tang Ya saw Dai Huabin, she let go of Wang Dong'er and waved the flyers in her hand.

"Dai Huabin! You should join the Tang Sect too!"

Dai Huabin smiled and waved her off.

He glanced at Wang Dong'er and roughly guessed what was going on.

The God King had made a move.

But Dai Huabin wasn't going to join.

The reason was simple: a big shot still lived in his spiritual sea.

Electrolux hadn't awakened yet, but his spiritual fluctuations were always there. Electrolux was the biggest secret Dai Huabin had, and he couldn't let it be exposed.

But Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie were different.

Dai Huabin turned to the two girls behind him.

Xiao Xiao was curiously standing on tiptoe, trying to see what was written on the flyer in Tang Ya's hand.

Cui Yajie, on the other hand, was leaning lazily nearby, looking as if none of this had anything to do with her.

"Xiao Xiao, Yajie." Dai Huabin beckoned the two over.

He lowered his voice. "You two could consider joining the Tang Sect as well."

Xiao Xiao blinked. "Huh? Why?"

Cui Yajie also perked up, tilting her head.

Dai Huabin gathered his thoughts. He couldn't spell it all out, but he could point them in the right direction.

"The Tang Sect has a cultivation method called the Mysterious Heaven Skill. As a meditation method, it's top-tier on the continent. Xiao Xiao, you're only at level twenty-one. If you learn the Mysterious Heaven Skill, your Soul Power will improve much faster."

Xiao Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Dai Huabin looked at Cui Yajie next.

"As for you, Yajie, the Mysterious Heaven Skill can increase your cultivation speed, and the Tang Sect also has a method called the Purple Demon Eye. It's very effective for cultivating spiritual power."

Cui Yajie's expression changed. She straightened up, and her long pink hair slid from her shoulders. "Class monitor, is that true?"

Dai Huabin shrugged. "Of course. The Tang Sect's founder from ten thousand years ago and the Dai Family were both members of the original Shrek Seven Devils."

Cui Yajie stared at him for two seconds but didn't press him for details.

She turned to look at Tang Ya by the lake, who was excitedly gesticulating, and began to weigh things over.

If the Purple Demon Eye really could strengthen her spiritual power, then her "Charm" Soul Skill wouldn't be just a control skill that flashed and vanished.

She might even be able to suppress the minds of opponents at a higher level.

"What about you?" Xiao Xiao looked up at Dai Huabin. "Class monitor, aren't you joining?"

"I'll sit this one out."

Dai Huabin spoke casually.

"Lulu and I have our own cultivation systems. Joining too many sects would just distract us. Besides, there are still a pile of things to deal with over at the White Tiger Duke Mansion. One less thing is one less thing."

Zhu Lu nodded lightly beside him. Wherever Dai Huabin went, she would go too.

Xiao Xiao said, "Oh," looking a little conflicted.

She glanced at Tang Ya in the distance, then lowered her gaze to her hands.

"Class monitor, do you think I should join?"

Dai Huabin didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Do you think your Soul Power is increasing fast enough?"

Xiao Xiao fell silent.

She knew the answer well.

Although she'd broken through to level twenty this past month with the help of pills and Whale Rubber, her foundation was too weak compared with Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and even Wang Dong'er.

I don't want to hold everyone back!

That was what Xiao Xiao was thinking right now.

"I'll join." Xiao Xiao clenched her fist, her tone serious.

Cui Yajie brushed back her hair.

"Then I'll go take a look too. I'm free anyway. I can keep Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao company."

Dai Huabin patted them both on the shoulders. "Go ahead and talk to Tang Ya. But one thing: the Tang Sect's methods are only supplementary. Our team's training and plans won't change."

"Understood!"

Xiao Xiao grabbed Cui Yajie and ran toward Tang Ya.

Tang Ya was still overwhelmed with joy at Wang Dong'er joining the Tang Sect and hadn't recovered when she turned around and saw two more girls rushing over.

"Senior Tang Ya! I want to join the Tang Sect too!" Xiao Xiao said, catching her breath as she reached them.

Cui Yajie followed at a leisurely pace. "Count me in too."

Tang Ya: "..."

She turned to look at Bei Bei, her expression like she'd just been hit on the head by a falling pie.

Bei Bei was a little stunned too.

Ever since the Tang Sect had fallen into decline, they could barely hand out any flyers, let alone recruit new members. And today, three people had shown up at once?

All of them were talented freshmen, too.

In Bei Bei's eyes, these three had far greater potential than Huo Yuhao!

"You... are you sure?" Tang Ya's voice trembled.

Xiao Xiao nodded hard.

"Sure! The class monitor said the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill is a top-tier meditation method!"

Cui Yajie added:

"I'm a spiritual-type Soul Master, so I'm interested in the Purple Demon Eye."

Tang Ya abruptly turned to look at Dai Huabin, leaning against a tree in the distance.

Was he the one who'd sent them over?

Dai Huabin nodded to her.

Tang Ya's mouth twitched twice.

She'd spent ages vigorously promoting the Tang Sect at the grilled-fish stall and scattered flyers everywhere, yet hadn't recruited a single person.

Dai Huabin had tossed out a few casual words and sent three talented recruits her way.

"Why don't you come yourself?" Tang Ya shouted at Dai Huabin.

"I'll pass." Dai Huabin waved.

Tang Ya pouted but didn't ask again. Dai Huabin might not be joining, but he'd recommended three gifted junior schoolmates. That was already excellent.

She quickly led the three girls to sit down, pulled a crumpled stack of documents from her clothes, and began explaining the Tang Sect's history and rules.

Bei Bei walked over to Dai Huabin and spoke quietly.

"Thank you."

Dai Huabin nodded in response.

"They're all promising talents." Bei Bei looked at the four girls chattering away in the distance. "The Tang Sect won't let them down."

"I believe you."

Dai Huabin leaned against the tree trunk, his hands in his pockets.

Given Tang Ya's devotion to the Tang Sect and Bei Bei's devotion to Tang Ya, Dai Huabin had no worries at all about Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie failing to learn anything.

After all, on the surface, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie were all far stronger than Huo Yuhao, the Tang Sect's newest recruit. They would naturally receive some attention.

Dai Huabin silently considered it.

Once Xiao Xiao learned the Mysterious Heaven Skill, her meditation would become more efficient, and her Soul Power would grow much faster.

Once Cui Yajie got the Purple Demon Eye, she'd be able to make up for her weakness in spiritual power.

Wang Dong'er went without saying. She already had an unbreakable connection to the Tang Sect.

As for him, there was no need to join. He only had to wait.

Dai Huabin closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into his spiritual sea.

That vast spiritual sea was still calm, and in one corner, a faint glow flickered.

It was a fragment of Electrolux's divine consciousness.

There was still no sign of awakening.

But compared with a little over a month ago, the glow was noticeably brighter.

Dai Huabin withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes again.

In the original story, Electrolux had awakened only after the Freshman Assessment, so Dai Huabin had only a little over a month left to wait.

As for whether Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao would still have a connection after she joined the Tang Sect, that wasn't something Dai Huabin could predict.

He'd already done enough. Huo Yuhao had lost the Mystic Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill, and he couldn't live with Wang Dong'er either. The rest would depend on Dai Huabin's luck.

"My luck... shouldn't be that bad, right?" Dai Huabin smiled wryly.
