Huo Yuhao looked blankly and replied, "Were there any strange phenomena nearby just now? I don't know. I was just meditating and cultivating here; it seemed quiet. As for this baboon, I killed it. It tried to attack me, so I had no choice but to kill it."
Tang Ya frowned. "Strange. I clearly saw a strange phenomenon in the sky nearby just now, and there seemed to be loud thunder. Could I have misheard?"
Beibei, standing to the side, noticed the lack of a Spirit Ring on the Wind Baboon's corpse. He frowned and looked at Huo Yuhao, asking suspiciously, "Little brother Yuhao, you... you didn't absorb the Spirit Ring from this ten-year Wind Baboon Spirit Beast, did you?"
Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't expose the existence of Sky Dream Iceworm or Electrolux. He nodded. "Yes. After I killed this baboon, a white ring suddenly appeared on its body. I heard others say that when one's Spirit Power reaches a certain bottleneck, one needs to absorb a Spirit Ring to continue cultivating, so I tried it."
Hearing this, Beibei and Tang Ya exchanged glances.
Tang Ya looked at the Wind Baboon's corpse and said with a look of disdain, "Yuhao, why did you absorb such a trashy Spirit Ring? This will be of no benefit to your future growth at all."
"Ahem." Beibei coughed lightly and glared at Tang Ya. "Little brother Yuhao, what Xiao Ya means is that you could have absorbed a much better Spirit Ring. It's a pity for you to absorb such a low-quality one."
Tang Ya then realized she had spoken wrongly and said to Huo Yuhao apologetically, "Little Yuhao, sorry, sorry. I didn't mean it that way."
After saying this, she stuck out her tongue.
Huo Yuhao had long been accustomed to Tang Ya's low emotional intelligence and did not hold it against her.
To make the act more convincing, Huo Yuhao feigned the appearance of someone who had just finished fusing with a Spirit Ring and adjusting his breath.
He stood up, and a translucent white Spirit Ring spiraled up from under his feet, slowly pulsing around him.
"It really is a ten-year Spirit Ring, but why does it feel so unique? Is it just an illusion?"
Looking at the Spirit Ring on Huo Yuhao, a question arose in the minds of both Beibei and Tang Ya, but the thought vanished as quickly as it appeared. After all, common knowledge on the Douluo Continent was that ten-year Spirit Rings were white; it was perfectly normal.
Seeing that they had no suspicions, Huo Yuhao put away his Spirit Ring and asked curiously, "I seemed to hear you calling me while I was in a daze. Did you come looking for me specifically? Is something the matter?"
"Little Yuhao, we came looking for you partly because we were worried. The Star Dou Great Forest is full of dangers, and we felt you didn't seem to know much about this place, so we were afraid you might encounter danger. On the other hand, we do have some business with you," Tang Ya said seriously, finally remembering their purpose.
Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart. Although there were many heaven-defying people in Douluo II, from his perspective, these two were quite decent to him and could be considered good people.

Beibei added from the side, "Yuhao, now that you are a formal Spirit Master, what are your plans for the future? Where is your home?"
"Home?"
In Huo Yuhao's memory, the ugly face of the Duchess surfaced, along with the bullying he had suffered in the White Tiger Duke Mansion over the years, and Huo Yun'er's final instructions to him before she died.
"An eye for an eye, blood for blood."
Huo Yuhao recalled what Elder Yi had said to him before falling into a deep sleep.
Since he had become Huo Yuhao, he would never let those who had bullied his mother and him have an easy life again.
The goal: let's start with revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion!
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and said calmly, "Sister Xiao Ya, Brother Beibei, I am an orphan. I have no family left. My goal now is to become a powerful Spirit Master."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, a look of joy appeared on Tang Ya's face.
"Yuhao, do you know about the Tang Sect?" Tang Ya immediately couldn't wait to pitch the Tang Sect.
Huo Yuhao nodded and said calmly, "I've heard of it. It seems to be a sect that was very famous ten thousand years ago, but I heard it has declined. It is said that the current Tang Sect is like a stray dog on the side of the road; anyone can kick it. What's wrong, Sister Xiao Ya? What about the Tang Sect?"
Tang Ya's face flushed red, and she didn't know what to say.
The stray dog on the side of the road you mentioned—that wouldn't be me, would it?
Beibei, seeing Tang Ya's expression, smiled gently at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, meeting is fate. Actually, Sister Xiao Ya and I are from the Tang Sect. At the same time, we are students of Shrek Academy. If you are willing, why not join our Tang Sect? As long as you join, we will be your family from now on. Moreover, after joining the Tang Sect, you can use our sect's exemption qualification to enroll in Shrek. Do you know Shrek? That is the number one academy on the continent."
Mentioning Shrek, Tang Ya regained her spirit and said proudly, "That's right! And I am the current Sect Master of the Tang Sect. Little Yuhao, don't worry, join us, and I'll cover you. At Shrek Academy, no one will dare to bully you."
After speaking, both looked at him with anticipation, waiting for Huo Yuhao's answer.
Who would have thought that Huo Yuhao would simply cup his hands toward them and say calmly, "Sister Stray Dog—oh, sorry, Sister Xiao Ya, Brother Beibei, thank you for your kindness, but I'll pass on joining the Tang Sect."
"Ah?"
Such a clean and decisive refusal?
Tang Ya looked puzzled, then said unwillingly, "I see, Little Yuhao, you must not understand our Tang Sect. Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Let me tell you about the history of our Tang Sect. Our Tang Sect was once the number one sect on the continent..."
Just as Tang Ya was about to list the glorious history of the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao waved his hand to interrupt her: "No need, Sister Xiao Ya, I will not join the Tang Sect."
"Wait, Yuhao, if I'm not mistaken, you are a Spirit-type Spirit Master, right? Do you know that Spirit-type Spirit Masters are rare on the continent, but our Tang Sect has a cultivation technique perfectly suited for them? Joining the Tang Sect will definitely allow you to achieve twice the result with half the effort in your future cultivation." Tang Ya chuckled.
Huo Yuhao sneered in his heart: Heh, the Purple Demon Eye, right? What trash. Not even a dog would learn that. With the God Forging Technique passed down by Elder Yi, why would I need your trashy technique?
His face remained expressionless as he said, "Sorry, Sister Xiao Ya, I really don't need it. If there is nothing else, let's meet again if fate allows."
"Yuhao, you..."
Tang Ya looked agitated and wanted to stop Huo Yuhao again.
Beibei stopped Tang Ya, cupped his hands, and smiled, "Yuhao, since that's the case, we won't delay your journey any further. Xiao Ya and I have urgent matters to attend to, so let's part ways here."
Huo Yuhao nodded, said "mm," and walked toward the direction outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
After Huo Yuhao left, Tang Ya looked aggrieved and said to Beibei, "Beibei, why? Is our Tang Sect really that pathetic? Even a stray dog on the side of the road can kick it?"
Beibei sighed helplessly in his heart, thinking: Pathetic? It's a burden. Xiao Ya, if it weren't for you, even I wouldn't have gone against my grandfather's will to join the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect doesn't even have a proper gate now; how can we talk about revitalization?
Although he thought this, he still smiled and said, "I can tell from Yuhao's eyes that he is a person with a story. Everyone has their own ambitions. Xiao Ya, believe me, once we grow up, the Tang Sect will eventually have a day of revitalization."
Tang Ya suppressed the frustration in her heart. She vaguely felt that she had missed some very important mission in her life.
At this moment, a certain God King far away in the God Realm became increasingly angry, the veins on his temples throbbing.
"Why? Why hasn't the Tang Sect's fortune increased significantly? This isn't right. The Child of Destiny should have helped me boost the Tang Sect's fortune by now."
"Damn it!"
