Accompanying My Childhood Sweetheart into the Tang Sect

The following afternoon, just as the final bell rang, a slightly thin figure hurried toward the door of dormitory 108, his heart filled with a mix of trepidation and anticipation.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Please, come in."

Huo Yuhao pushed the door open to see Ji Jing and Wang Dong tidying up their books. He spoke respectfully at once:

"Class monitor, Wang Dong, Teacher Zhou Yi told me to come find you after school."

"Mm, we know. We've been waiting for you for a while."

Ji Jing set down his book and gestured for Huo Yuhao to come in and sit.

He sized up this future God of Emotions. Though he looked somewhat green and reserved for now, those eyes were exceptionally bright and spirited.

"Since Teacher Zhou has assigned us to a team for the freshman assessment, we need to understand each other's abilities."

Ji Jing got straight to the point.

"Huo Yuhao, there's no need to be nervous. Just tell us what your specialties are."

"Yes, class monitor."

Huo Yuhao nodded; he knew this was a necessary step.

He took a deep breath, his eyes instantly lighting up as an invisible wave of mental energy quietly rippled outward from him.

The next moment, a perfectly clear, three-dimensional image appeared simultaneously in the minds of Ji Jing and Wang Dong.

This image presented the entire dormitory—and even a portion of the hallway outside—in exhaustive detail.

They could see the texture of the water glass on the table, the veins of a leaf outside the window, and could even hear two students whispering at the end of the hall.

It felt as if they had suddenly gained countless eyes and ears, granting them total control over everything in their surroundings.

Ji Jing wore a look of perfectly measured surprise, thinking to himself:

It's here, the team's soul skill.

Wang Dong, however, was genuinely stunned. She gasped in shock:

"This is... Spiritual Detection Sharing?! Heavens! This is practically a divine skill for an auxiliary-type! With this, no sneak attacks or traps will be effective against us!"

Wang Dong's attitude had shifted as well.

Previously, she had looked down on Huo Yuhao, but now, she fully recognized his value as an auxiliary.

Seeing their reactions, Huo Yuhao felt a weight lift from his chest and scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed:

"My Martial Soul is Spirit Eye; I specialize in mental power."

"Alright, that's enough to know."

Ji Jing nodded, signaling for Huo Yuhao to deactivate his soul skill.

He stood up, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, and said with a tone of certainty:

"Your ability is crucial; it will be a massive help to our team."

"Before the assessment, you just need to keep training and stay in good condition. As for everything else, there's nothing special to worry about. Leave the fighting to me and Wang Dong."

These words were filled with unquestionable confidence and trust in his teammates, sending a surge of warmth through Huo Yuhao. He nodded heavily:

"Yes! I understand, class monitor!"

"Right, business is finished."

Ji Jing changed the subject, asking casually:

"Do you have any plans for a bit later? Are you heading to Snack Street to sell grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, a smile appearing on his face:

"No, Teacher Tang Ya and senior Beibei are meeting me for dinner today."

Teacher Tang Ya? Senior Beibei?

Ji Jing and Wang Dong exchanged a glance, both seeing that familiar name in each other's eyes—Tang Sect.

"Perfect,"

Ji Jing smiled slightly and took the opportunity to say:

"We were just discussing how interested we are in the legendary Tang Sect and were thinking of applying to join. Since it's such a coincidence, why don't you take us along to meet senior Tang Ya and senior Beibei?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

He had been worrying about the Tang Sect's lack of members; he never expected someone as powerful as the class monitor to offer to join on his own!

This was incredible news!

"Really? That would be wonderful!"

Huo Yuhao said excitedly:

"If Teacher Tang Ya and senior Beibei knew you wanted to join, they would be so, so happy! Let's go, I'll take you there right now!"

Watching Huo Yuhao's genuine, heartfelt joy, Wang Dong began to smile as well.

And so, led by Huo Yuhao, the three of them left the dormitory together, heading toward the place where they had arranged to meet Tang Ya and Beibei.

Inside a quiet shop at Shrek Academy.

Tang Ya and Beibei were sitting at a table, chatting while waiting for Huo Yuhao to arrive.

"Beibei, you say that the current state of our Tang Sect is truly..."

Tang Ya sighed with some worry.

Beibei smiled gently and comforted her:

"Xiaoya, don't worry. Now that Yuhao has joined, our Tang Sect has already begun to show signs of improvement; it will get better."

Just as he was speaking, Huo Yuhao's voice came from the shop entrance.

"Teacher Tang Ya, Senior Beibei, I'm here!"

The two looked toward the sound, smiles appearing on their faces.

But when they saw the two people following behind Huo Yuhao clearly, the smiles on their faces instantly froze and turned into surprise.

Walking behind Huo Yuhao was none other than the person with the most momentum in the first year of the Outer Court—Ji Jing.

And that Radiant Goddess Butterfly Soul Master who was also not weak in strength, Wang Dong.

"Junior Ji Jing? Junior Wang Dong? How did you..."

Beibei stood up in surprise.

Huo Yuhao took a step forward, introducing them with an excited face:

"Senior, Teacher Tang Ya, I have a huge piece of good news to tell you! The class monitor and classmate Wang Dong also want to join our Tang Sect!"

"What?!"

Even though Beibei was always steady, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock at this moment.

Tang Ya was even more excited, springing up from her seat at once, her beautiful eyes wide and full of disbelief.

She and Beibei had witnessed with their own eyes the terrifying strength Ji Jing possessed when he crushed Xu Sanshi!

That was absolutely a top-tier powerhouse of the continent in the future!

And that Wang Dong, whose Martial Soul was the rare Radiant Goddess Butterfly, also had exceptional talent.

These two people—any one of them was a genius that every major sect would fight tooth and nail to have—were now actually taking the initiative to join the declining Tang Sect?

The happiness came too suddenly, making Tang Ya feel a bit dizzy for a moment.

Ji Jing looked at their shocked expressions, nodded with a smile, and said in a sincere tone:

"Senior Tang Ya, Senior Beibei, we have long yearned for the Tang Sect founded by the predecessor Tang San. Hearing that you are the current Sect Master, we have come specifically to apply for membership, hoping to contribute to the revival of the Tang Sect."

"Welcome! Of course, welcome! You are more than welcome!"

Tang Ya finally reacted, her cheeks flushing with excitement.

She hurriedly took two booklets out of her storage Soul Tool and solemnly handed them to Ji Jing and Wang Dong.

"These are the introductory ultimate arts of our Tang Sect. From today on, you are members of our Tang Sect!"

Ji Jing and Wang Dong took the secret manuals, and with that, the initiation ceremony was officially completed.

Looking at the humble shop and the simple dishes on the table, Ji Jing smiled and suggested:

"Sect Master, Senior Brother, today is a joyous day for our entry into the sect; we shouldn't just make do with a meal here."

"How about this? Let's find a place with good scenery by Sea God Lake, and I will cook a real initiation banquet for everyone. How about it?"
