Sun Moon Assessment

It had to be said that the people of the Tang Sect had indeed glorified Tang San extensively.

Take the City of Slaughter from Soul Land 1, for example. Huo Yuhao had never been able to understand why Tang San had wanted to destroy it.

That place was essentially a terrifying prison. Once bad people entered the City of Slaughter, they would become trapped in self-destructive infighting, and it was exceedingly difficult for them to earn the right to leave.

Yet the pure and immaculate God King Tang San had directly destroyed the City of Slaughter, which was equivalent to blowing up a prison that held criminals. Honestly, that was absolutely one of the reasons Evil Soul Masters ran rampant in Peerless Tang Sect.

In a sense, every Evil Soul Master ought to kowtow to their founding ancestor, Tang San.

"How about it, Little Yuhao? Do you want to join our Tang Sect? Although our Tang Sect has declined now, one day, I will bring it back to its peak!" Tang Ya said with a smile.

"Teacher Xiao Ya, I still want to go seek out my relatives. I made arrangements with them some time ago, and I can't go back on my word." A troubled look appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

To be honest, Tang Ya and Bei Bei had treated him quite well. Joining the Tang Sect and then entering Shrek Academy was also a good choice. After all, Huo Gua had indeed gained some benefits from Shrek in the original story.

But once one entered the Tang Sect, it was as deep as the sea!

Once he joined the Tang Sect and followed the usual path into Shrek Academy, he would inevitably enter God King Tang San's sight and be arranged for from beginning to end by him. After all, God King Tang San's divine sense was still on Wang Dong.

If a Qiankun Love Questioning Valley incident happened later, just like in the original story, Huo Yuhao's mentality would truly collapse.

Of course, he could not tell the two of them that he was going to the Sun Moon Empire. After all, the relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy was far from good.

"I see. It seems that you truly aren't interested in the Tang Sect, Little Yuhao." A hint of disappointment showed in Tang Ya's eyes.

She watched Huo Yuhao for a while, then sighed. After rubbing the Storage Soul Tool at her waist a few times, she took out two Gold Soul Coins. "Since I ate your grilled fish, I should help you out. I don't know where your relatives live, but I imagine you need some travel expenses."

As she spoke, she placed the two Gold Soul Coins in Huo Yuhao's palm.

"Little Ya Sister... this..." Huo Yuhao looked at her in surprise.

"Yuhao, just accept it. Meeting is fate, and this is also a small token from Teacher Xiao Ya.

"I hope that when we meet again, you will already be a powerful Soul Master respected by others." Bei Bei said with a smile.

Although Huo Yuhao had refused his and Tang Ya's invitation, he was not angry. As the great-grandson of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, his upbringing was quite good.

Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment, then clenched the two Gold Soul Coins and placed them in the cloth bag on his body. Looking at the two of them, he said, "Thank you."

He truly needed travel expenses. Originally, he had planned to sell grilled fish while saving up the money needed to travel to the Sun Moon Empire. Tang Ya's help had saved him some time.

The three chatted for a little while longer. Then Huo Yuhao bade them farewell and turned to leave.

One month later.

Star Luo Empire.

Yu Ming City.

Huo Yuhao stood before a grill. Beside him was a wooden sign bearing the four words: "Little Huo's Grilled Fish."

After briefly checking his seasonings, he began grilling fish according to the steps in his memory.

As time passed, the aroma of grilled fish gradually spread, and many people came forward to line up, waiting for Huo Yuhao's grilled fish to come off the grill.

"Little brother, how much is a serving of your grilled fish?" a bald man asked.

"Fair prices for young and old alike, five Copper Soul Coins per serving," Huo Yuhao replied as he grilled the fish.

Honestly, ever since obtaining the Wisdom Soul Ring, his skill at grilling fish had improved considerably. After all, his First Soul Skill was Mental Detection. If he did not blindly pursue range and instead focused it on a single point, he could easily observe the minute changes in the grilled fish.

"Five Copper Soul Coins? That expensive?" The bald man looked surprised. "Is your grilled fish really that good?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, the other people in line began responding to the bald man.

"Isn't that obvious? Who doesn't know that Little Huo's grilled fish is unmatched? Over the past half month, Little Huo has become quite famous in our Yu Ming City."

"Exactly! Everyone knows Little Huo's grilled fish is delicious! If you can't even fork out five Copper Soul Coins, then hurry up and get lost!"

Hearing this, the bald man's expression darkened. "Hmph, then I'll see just how good it really is!"

Soon, it was the bald man's turn. He paid five Copper Soul Coins, received a grilled fish, and quickly began eating.

At first, he was somewhat dismissive, but as the fish entered his mouth, he was soon immersed in the delicious flavor of the grilled fish.

After finishing one fish, he rushed over with shining eyes. "Little brother, can I buy some more grilled fish? Your grilled fish is simply too delicious."

Huo Yuhao raised his head and checked the number of people still in line. Then he silently calculated the number of grilled fish remaining. Comparing the two, he said, "Today's grilled fish is almost sold out. If you still want some, you can only come back next time."

Hearing this, the bald man left helplessly. The others still waiting in line immediately smiled at the sight. Everyone who had once looked down on Little Huo's Grilled Fish would eventually be conquered by its deliciousness.

After Huo Yuhao sold all the grilled fish, he packed up his stall and left, heading toward the blacksmith shop in the southern part of Yu Ming City.

Huo Yuhao had already been in Yu Ming City for twenty days.

During that time, he had indeed found a way to reach the Sun Moon Empire. However, he was still in the "background check" stage.

Soon, he entered the blacksmith shop and made his way into the room behind it.

A sturdy middle-aged man was sitting in a chair. When he saw Huo Yuhao enter, a smile immediately appeared on his face. "Huo Yuhao, you finally came. Have you prepared the ten Gold Soul Coins?"

"I have." Huo Yuhao handed over ten Gold Soul Coins.

This man was named Zhang Jin. He was a spy the Sun Moon Empire had placed in Yu Ming City of the Star Luo Empire. Because Zhang Jin had discovered that Huo Yuhao was a spiritual-attribute Soul Master, he had chosen to approach him proactively and learn about his circumstances.

According to the agreement between him and Huo Yuhao, as long as Huo Yuhao gathered ten Gold Soul Coins, he could bribe the Star Luo Empire troops near the Mingdou Mountain Range and then bring Huo Yuhao to Mingdu to take the entrance assessment for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Of course, Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well that Zhang Jin had other reasons for making him save money.

After all, spiritual-attribute Soul Masters were highly suited to becoming soul engineers. Therefore, even though his Innate Soul Power was only level one, he was still a sought-after talent.

However, considering that the other party might be "reviewing" him, he did not expose Zhang Jin. Instead, he chose to sell grilled fish to earn Gold Soul Coins.

"Mm, not bad." Zhang Jin accepted the ten Gold Soul Coins, and a smile appeared on his face as well. "Don't worry. You possess a Body Martial Soul like the Spiritual Eye, so you will definitely be able to enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to study! I have sensed your sincerity. From today onward, you are one of the Sun Moon People!"

When Zhang Jin discovered that Huo Yuhao possessed a Body Martial Soul and was also a spiritual-attribute Soul Master, he had actually been extremely delighted. However, out of caution, he had spent this time investigating Huo Yuhao's background.

That was why, in order to temporarily keep Huo Yuhao steady, he had come up with the excuse that Gold Soul Coins were needed to bribe the Star Luo Empire troops.

Fortunately, after investigating for this period, he had confirmed that Huo Yuhao was not a spy sent by the Star Luo Empire. A Soul Master like this absolutely had to join the Sun Moon Empire!

At last, I have the Sun Moon Green Card!

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao deliberately revealed an innocent smile. "Uncle Zhang, am I really one of the Sun Moon People now?"
