Tang Ya's Visit and the Crafting Bureau

Before long, Huo Yuhao received his own student ID. From this moment on, he was a first-year freshman at the Martial Soul Primary Academy.

It is worth mentioning that when registering his name, he registered as "Huo Yuhao." Huo Yun'er said nothing about it.

"Alright, little one, you must take good care of these two cards."

"The admissions office staff should arrive at your home in about two hours to discuss the specific details with you. Remember to tidy up your new home a bit, little one." Li Ye placed the silver and gray cards carefully into Huo Yuhao's hands, admonishing him repeatedly.

Huo Yun'er, standing to the side, expressed her gratitude again and again. Having spent her childhood in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, she had never imagined that such a good thing could happen in this world.

Following Li Ye's directions, the two soon brought their luggage to their new residence.

If Huo Yuhao had to describe it, it was: small but perfectly formed.

Two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom that also served as a latrine... no, according to Li Ye, it should be called a washroom?

Everywhere he looked were things Huo Yuhao had never seen before; compared to that old woodshed, it was a world of difference.

When Huo Yun'er sat on the soft bed, she didn't dare make any sudden movements, fearing she might damage the delicate mattress. It wasn't until a certain moment that it dawned on her: starting today, this was her home.

Thinking that all of this was because Huo Yuhao had awakened Innate Full Soul Power, she couldn't help but hug him, suppressing the urge to sob aloud, letting only faint, muffled whimpers escape.

Huo Yuhao said nothing, merely patting her back in silence.

It took quite some time, but the two of them tidied up the small house together, and soon it had the look of a proper home. Just then, accompanied by a knock on the door, an ethereal female voice drifted in.

"Excuse me, may I come in?"

The moment the voice rang out, Huo Yuhao, who had been mopping the floor, froze.

But as the knocking grew more urgent, the female voice outside sounded somewhat puzzled. "Strange... did they go out for dinner?"

At that moment, Huo Yuhao opened the door.

Appearing before him was a black-haired girl with a high ponytail, looking to be about ten years old, with a pair of large, clever-looking eyes.

The girl was named Tang Ya. In Huo Yuhao's memories, she was someone who, like him, carried the weight of vengeance. Unfortunately, she had gone astray at some point, losing her original memories and soul to become an Evil Soul Master.

Although the ending later on was decent enough... the problem now was... why would she appear in the Martial Soul Community?

Could it be that after the Tang Sect declined... she had come here too?

"Ah, hello, my name is Tang Ya. I'm a staff member of the Martial Soul Hall Crafting Bureau. I've come to confirm something with you..." Just as Tang Ya was about to continue, a large hand covered her mouth.

"Cough, cough, apologies for the trouble."

"Mmph! Mmph!" Although Tang Ya struggled with all her might, it was to no avail; she was soon lifted by the back of her collar by a man in purple robes and set aside.

At this point, Huo Yun'er was also drawn by the commotion at the door and saw the two people standing there.

"Who are you?"

"This must be Ms. Huo Yun'er. A pleasure to meet you. I am Tang Shan, affiliated with the Martial Soul Hall Crafting Bureau, and this beside me is our Bureau's Young Mistress, Tang Ya." Tang Shan introduced himself while shifting his gaze to Huo Yuhao.

"We have come under the orders of Director Tang You of the Crafting Bureau. He is very interested in your child, Huo Yuhao, and hopes to meet with him."

"Oh, right, this is my identification. Martial Soul Hall credentials all carry a unique soul power fluctuation. Since little Huo Yuhao has Innate Full Soul Power, he should be able to sense the special mark on it." Tang Shan placed a card into Huo Yuhao's hand; this was the third small card he had received in two days.

Following the instructions, Huo Yuhao channeled his soul power into it, and sure enough, he sensed a very unique soul power signature.

"Martial Soul Hall Crafting Bureau - Tang Shan"

A string of text fixed onto the card with soul power... Huo Yuhao had never seen such a technique before.

However, even without this credential, the mere existence of Tang Ya was enough for him to trust them.

It was just unexpected that in this world, Tang Ya had become a member of the Martial Soul Hall. If that were the case, had the Tang Sect been swallowed by the Martial Soul Hall long ago?

"Mom, there really is their identification on it." Huo Yuhao handed the card back to Tang Shan. If his guess was correct, the reason that Tang You wanted to meet him was self-evident.

At the Awakening Hall, he had used three Tang Sect techniques... if his suspicions were true, these three techniques should now belong to the Crafting Bureau they spoke of.

Meeting with them was not out of the question.

After receiving a few words of caution from Huo Yun'er, Huo Yuhao followed the two and boarded a carriage. Only then did he learn that the headquarters of the Crafting Bureau was located a few dozen miles outside this Martial Soul Community.

"At the speed of these Magic Soul Horses, we should make it back in time for your dinner at home," Tang Shan joked. Since he was taking the boy away from his mother, he hoped to make Huo Yuhao feel more at ease.

"So why wouldn't you let me speak..."

Just then, Tang Ya, who was sitting next to Tang Shan, looked dissatisfied, clearly unhappy about having her introduction interrupted.

"Young Mistress... I know you wish to share the burden for the Director, but this matter is of great importance and allows for no errors," Tang Shan said righteously, but Tang Ya's expression only grew more sullen.

"Besides, the Director has given orders: if you are allowed to act recklessly this time... then your future meetings with that gentleman will..." Before he could finish, Tang Ya hurriedly covered Tang Shan's mouth.

Anything else was fine, but this was not something to be said in front of outsiders!

Huo Yuhao looked at the nervous Tang Ya. This reaction... could it be Brother Bei Bei?

Tang Shan referred to Bei Bei as 'that gentleman.' Could it be that he had also become a member of the Martial Soul Hall?

Huo Yuhao shook his head. No, that wasn't the most important thing right now.

If Tang Shan had truly noticed him because of the techniques he had used, then the reason they were seeking him out wasn't hard to guess.

It was nothing more than wanting to know where he had learned them.

For Huo Yuhao, he couldn't actually come up with a convincing reason at the moment.

At the same time, this was also his opportunity to make contact with the upper echelons of Martial Soul Hall.

Compared to his previous life, he needed his first soul ring five years earlier this time; heading to the Star Dou Forest alone to hunt for a soul beast was a near-death experience. By using this opportunity to gain the attention of that Director of the Crafting Bureau, combined with his talent of Innate Full Soul Power as a bargaining chip, he could trade for the assistance of Martial Soul Hall...

A hundred-year first soul ring—my talent should be worth that price.

As Huo Yuhao thought this, he also thought of another person... no, it should be a worm.

This world had already become unrecognizable, so his encounter with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, that million-year soul beast, might also change.

While he was calculating, he noticed the carriage had come to a stop.

"Come along, little friend Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao looked at the glass walls reflecting the sunlight; this architectural style... it should be from the Sun Moon Empire. Could it be that Martial Soul Hall still had some connection with the Sun Moon Empire?

Tang Shan led him off the carriage and, together with Tang Ya, stood before a tall building.

"Welcome to one of the branches of Martial Soul Hall, the Crafting Bureau."
