Tang Ya was the current master of the Tang Sect.
A few years ago, the Tang Sect had been utterly destroyed by a small sect called the Iron Blood Sect.
Only Tang Ya, who had been away on her own, remained.
Now, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were the only two people left in the Tang Sect.
Bei Bei was the one he had sent to support Tang Ya.
But because of Shrek's standing in the three great empires, they could not interfere in the development of any faction as they pleased.
They could not openly avenge Tang Ya and destroy the Iron Blood Sect.
They could only give Tang Ya's Tang Sect more support in secret.
The rule that joining the Tang Sect granted a one-time opportunity to enter Shrek without a test had been established by past Sea God Pavilion Masters.
The Tang Sect lacked people, but Tang Ya could easily use Shrek's reputation to invite them to join.
What Mu En could not understand was why, after so many years, not a single person had joined the Tang Sect.
Mu En spoke. "Then we'll do as you say and observe her for now."
"If Tang Ya continues down the path of an Evil Soul Master, this old man will personally kill her."
"Even if a god came, it would be no use!"
"All right, Great-Great-Grandfather." Bei Bei didn't dare make another sound.
He could only look at Mu En in dejection.
Looking at Bei Bei, who never seemed to grow up, Mu En ultimately couldn't put his mind at ease. "Bei Bei, from now on, I'll make new plans for your six Soul Rings. Go back."
"Once you reach rank forty, you must not obtain a Soul Ring without this old man's permission."
Bei Bei nodded emphatically. When it came to Soul Rings, he had decided to listen to his great-great-grandfather.
Shrek Outer Court.
Tang Ya sat upright on the grass, quietly watching the Blue Silver Grass growing there.
The Blue Silver Grass shared a mutual affinity with her, seeming to radiate a boundless, faint vitality-tenacious and fragile, yet shattering at a touch.
"The devouring ability..." Tang Ya murmured to herself.
She looked at the Blue Silver Grass in her hand and took a deep breath.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill began to circulate.
The path of Soul Power circulating through her body took shape in Tang Ya's mind.
The Blue Silver Grass around her swayed lively in the wind, but soon...
The Blue Silver Grass withered visibly, becoming utterly lifeless. By contrast, the Blue Silver Grass in Tang Ya's hand became livelier, like the vital signs of a living being.
"So this is the devouring ability... It's simply amazing!"
Tang Ya's gaze visibly grew unfocused for a moment before returning to normal.
Her voice was full of wonder at the unknown.
The devouring ability of an Evil Soul Master had allowed her to absorb the vitality of the Blue Silver Grass around her.
The Soul Power in her body was rising bit by bit.
Tang Ya had never experienced such speed as a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master!
So fast! So fast! So fast!
It's really so fast!
This feeling... it feels so good!
Tang Ya simply couldn't stop, and the Blue Silver Grass in her hand was also quietly changing.
Faint traces of dark red gradually spread across the base of the blue Blue Silver Grass.
Feeling Soul Power pouring wildly into her body, Tang Ya couldn't help the corners of her mouth from rising.
Huo Yuhao, if you won't show me kindness, don't blame me, Tang Ya, for showing you none!
"The Body Sect is the ultimate goal for a Body Martial Soul Master."
Those words had remained lodged in Tang Ya's heart like a sharp knife.
Yes, our Tang Sect is always the one left behind.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
During that week, Huo Yuhao was either cultivating or on his way to cultivate.
Eating, sleeping, and cultivating-those three important things were already engraved in his DNA.
On his second day at the Body Sect, Elder Golden Body had sought him out alone and directly given him a Mystic Water Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill.
When Elder Golden Body gave him the Mystic Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill, the long-absent system appeared again.
[Ding! Detected that the host intercepted Huo Yuhao's Mystic Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill] [Reward obtained: century-old Silver Moon Wolf King meat, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear paw (ready to eat upon opening, purely polluted and unnatural, no side effects)]
All Huo Yuhao wanted to say was, System, that's one fine reward you've given me.
What he needed most right now was the meat of these Soul Beasts to improve his physique!
As long as his physique reached the Soul King level, he could attempt a Second Awakening.
Once the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening was strengthened, its power would also increase significantly.
When Elder Golden Body gave him the pills, he had made a point of emphasizing, "You can use at most two Soul Ascension Pills. The Mystic Water Pill cleanses the marrow and tempers the body."
"The first Mystic Water Pill you take has the best effect. Any you take afterward will be somewhat less effective."
"Don't feel inferior just because you use pills to raise your Soul Power. Those fellows at Shrek make pretty speeches in public, saying that taking drugs is shameful."
"But in reality, their own people have secretly taken drugs behind the scenes too."
Those words struck a chord in Huo Yuhao's heart.
The fact that the old fellow Yan Shaozhe could casually toss two Soul Ascension Pills to the original Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er already proved the point.
Afterward, under Golden Body Douluo's arrangements, Huo Yuhao met Void Pupil Douluo, who had returned to the sect from a mission.
Void Pupil Douluo was a powerful rank ninety-four Titled Douluo, one of the eleven Titled Douluo belonging to the Body Sect.
His Martial Soul was the pupils, a Body Martial Soul closest to the eyes.
It was very similar to his Spirit Eyes.
Huo Yuhao looked down at the Soul Ascension Pill in his hand. "Should I absorb it...?"
After a week of meditation and cultivation, his Soul Power Level had risen from rank eleven to rank twelve.
The field of vision of his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had expanded further along with his Soul Power Level.
He could even make out the approximate path of Soul Power circulating through each person's body.
Raising his Soul Power by one rank in a week was hundreds of times faster than his previous pace of one or two ranks a year.
As long as this continued, he could reach rank twenty faster than in the original story.
Then he would go to the Far North and meet the Ice and Snow Empresses.
The Ice and Snow Empresses were Huo Yuhao's two most important cheats.
Without the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have been able to show off and slap faces early on, nor could he have achieved the excellent result of winning the Soul Master Tournament.
The two of them were also must-haves for the vast majority of transmigrators who crossed into Peerless Tang Sect.
Stealing my own opportunity-wasn't that a kind of pleasure too?
Come to think of it, he hadn't seen the sect master for almost a week, had he?
He had once asked Elder Golden Body where the sect master had gone.
But it turned out that even Elder Golden Body didn't know.
All he knew was that the sect master had called Demonic Fist away before leaving the sect.
Meanwhile, at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
"This must be the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."
Having traveled for nearly a week, Du Busi looked piercingly at the enormous palace before him.
Demonic Fist Douluo rubbed his fists, his blood burning like fire as he glowered fiercely at the palace before him, known as the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
"Sect Master, when do we begin?"
"My fists are thirsty for blood!"
On the journey here, Demonic Fist Douluo had heard about Huo Yuhao's tragic childhood from Du Busi.
He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
Every moment, he thought about how to destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion before him!
