"Tang Sect? You mean the Tang Sect founded by the legendary Sea God Tang San?!"
Huo Yuhao spoke in surprise. As a child, he had often heard stories of Sea God Tang San becoming a god, and he also clearly knew that the bloodline within him belonged to War God Dai Mubai.
While at the Duke Mansion, Huo Yuhao had often heard Huo Yun'er tell stories about Sea God Tang San. After all, he was from Douluo Continent and greatly admired how the Shrek Seven Devils had defeated Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, Spirit Hall had been "committing all manner of evil." At that time, neither the Dou Ling Empire nor the Heaven Dou Empire existed yet. Heaven Dou and Dou Ling had not yet split apart; there had only been the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
In that era ten thousand years ago, there had been two great empires and one "evil" Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall had once attempted to launch an "unjust war" to unify the continent. Later, the Shrek Seven Devils, led by Shrek Academy, had joined forces with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire to defeat Spirit Hall, thereby "saving the continent."
After that, the common people throughout Douluo Continent had lived in an era where they needed to sell themselves just for a chance to awaken their Martial Souls. It was a "wonderful age."
Even now, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms continued to glorify Tang San, claiming that they had "saved" Douluo Continent.
"That's right, it's the Tang Sect," Tang Ya said.
Though Tang Ya appeared happy on the surface, she had actually prepared herself for the possibility that her recruitment attempt would fail.
After all, the Tang Sect barely had any people left. Hardly anyone was even willing to join. There was only her, the sect master, along with a few Tang Sect secret arts.
To put it plainly, it had little value, no strength, no connections, and no resources.
Who would be willing to join such a sect that had none of those three things?
The current Tang Sect master was only a level-thirty prospective Soul Elder. She had yet to obtain her third Soul Ring and was still merely a prospective Soul Elder. Who would want to join?
"Sister Xiaoya, may I ask something? The Tang Sect is supposed to be a legendary sect, so it should be very powerful. But my first Soul Ring is only a ten-year Soul Ring. Am I qualified to join?"
At this moment, Huo Yuhao did not mention that his first Soul Ring was a million-year Soul Ring, nor did he mention that a million-year Soul Beast had sacrificed itself to him. After all, in the eyes of others, his first Soul Ring was only a ten-year one.
It was basically not an optimal configuration. Would any faction really be willing to recruit someone so useless?
"I am the current sect master of the Tang Sect. I am qualified."
Tang Ya directly revealed her identity as the current Tang Sect master. Huo Yuhao became excited upon hearing it.
"Sister Xiaoya is the current Tang Sect master?!"
"That's right. That's exactly how it is. I'm the current Tang Sect master. Let me demonstrate some Tang Sect secret arts for you!"
Tang Ya then demonstrated the Tang Sect secret arts, including the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Mysterious Jade Hand, Hundred Hidden Weapon Explanations, Purple Demon Eye, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, displaying each of them once.
"Amazing, Sister Xiaoya! I want to join the Tang Sect!" Huo Yuhao said. He truly had not seen much of the world and had never encountered genuinely powerful secret arts. The Tang Sect secret arts of today had all been weakened.
Everyone had their own path to follow. A Body Martial Soul should join the Body Sect. The Body Sect had said that anyone with a Body Martial Soul was a member of the Body Sect.
Yuhao had a Body Martial Soul, so joining the Body Sect would be the best choice.
The Tang Sect had nothing now and simply could not provide Yuhao with the right cultivation methods. Moreover, the Tang Sect had no disciples with Body Martial Souls, so it had no idea how to cultivate one. It did not even understand why Yuhao had gained a spiritual-attribute Soul Ring after absorbing a Wind Baboon... Sigh.
*There was no helping it now. The Tang Sect only had the two of us. Having one more was better than none. We could just ask the academy to help us more when the time came.)*
At this moment, Beibei actually believed that Huo Yuhao should join the Body Sect. The Tang Sect truly lacked resources now and did not know how to nurture disciples with Body Martial Souls. Throughout Douluo Continent, the Body Sect was the best at cultivating Body Martial Souls; that was a fact everyone knew.
If one wanted to cultivate a Body Martial Soul, the best choice was the Body Sect. But the problem was that Huo Yuhao now wanted to join the Tang Sect, and the Tang Sect urgently needed people to rebuild. There was nothing they could do.
Beibei also did not suggest that Huo Yuhao join the Body Sect. After all, the Tang Sect needed manpower too.
"Wonderful! Then, little Yuhao, from now on, you are a member of our Tang Sect. I will be your teacher, and Beibei will be your senior brother. I can teach you how to cultivate Soul Power more effectively and increase your cultivation speed. The Mysterious Heaven Skill is one such method, and the Tang Sect's various secret arts can give you a certain degree of combat power."
"Yes, Teacher Xiaoya!"
Huo Yuhao said happily. He felt that as long as he joined the legendary Tang Sect, once he grew strong enough, he would surely be able to take revenge on the Duke Mansion and let out an angry roar at the White Tiger Duke. But what he did not know was that he had been plotted against since birth. From the very beginning, revenge had been impossible for him.
Moreover, if he hated the White Tiger Duke Mansion, he should have joined the Sun Moon Empire to study Soul Tools. That would have been the best method. Yet he had chosen to join the Tang Sect, the method least likely to succeed.
And his luck had now begun to decline as well.
Soon afterward, the two of them helped Tang Ya obtain the Soul Ring she needed. After becoming a three-ring Soul Elder, Tang Ya decided to take Huo Yuhao to enroll in the legendary Shrek Academy.
"We'll take you to the legendary Shrek Academy now, little Yuhao. There, you will receive the best education. It is the strongest academy on Douluo Continent and has even defeated the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
That makes Shrek the finest academy on all of Douluo Continent, even superior to the Sun Moon Empire's academies.
For all these years, the Sun Moon Empire has never defeated Shrek Academy. Nor has any academy in the Douluo Three Kingdoms ever defeated Shrek Academy.
If you want to become stronger, we'll take you to Shrek Academy. We'll also get you a student spot at Shrek Academy. Once you arrive there, you will definitely receive a better education and become one of those legendary monsters.
Then our Tang Sect will also become stronger and recruit more talented people. When that time comes, we will definitely be able to rebuild it successfully."
"I will definitely work hard, Teacher Xiaoya."
Huo Yuhao said excitedly. He also wanted to see the legendary Shrek Academy for himself.
Tian Meng, within Huo Yuhao's spiritual world, also said in agreement, "Go for it, Yuhao! I'm counting on you."
