Jin Peng reminded him in a low voice, "Sect master, you said it wrong. It's a return, a return."
Hearing that, Du Busi's old face filled with dark lines, and flames sprang from his head. "I know that! Why are you shouting so loud?!"
Jin Peng: ...?
Watching Du Busi and Jin Peng bicker, Huo Yuhao thought that if their ages, presence, and cultivation hadn't been there for all to see,
he really wouldn't have been able to tell that either of them put on any airs befitting a Super Douluo.
Du Busi coughed lightly and looked at Huo Yuhao, the serious expression on his face seeming to await his answer.
Huo Yuhao looked at Du Busi, his sky-blue eyes clear. "I'm willing to return to the big family that is the Body Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Busi burst out laughing and clapped Huo Yuhao on the shoulder with a smile.
"Good, good! You really are worthy of being the child I, Du Busi, picked out."
Huo Yuhao reeled under Du Busi's pats, his entire body feeling the tremendous impact.
Du Busi then looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, now that you've returned to our Body Sect,
"as sect master, I must explain the important matters concerning Body Martial Souls to you clearly.
"Let's talk as we walk."
With that, Du Busi waved Huo Yuhao over, motioning for him to follow.
Du Busi walked at the front, Huo Yuhao at his side, listening patiently, while Jin Peng brought up the rear.
As they walked, Du Busi said, "Body Martial Souls are no worse than other Martial Souls. Take Soul Masters with Beast Martial Souls, for example.
"A Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master only needs to find a master with the same Martial Soul, a high Soul Power Level, and extremely profound cultivation.
"Afterward, the junior can directly borrow all of their master's Soul Skills to refine their own abilities. Even their fighting styles can be exactly the same.
"A bunch of trash Soul Masters who trace gourds from a template, without a shred of creativity.
"Tool Martial Soul Soul Masters return the favor."
"Sect master, are you sure that wasn't aimed at anyone in particular?" Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. Wasn't Du Busi making it a little too obvious who he was targeting?
Du Busi glanced at Huo Yuhao. "They're exactly who I'm targeting.
"If they don't like it, let them come fight me!"
Du Busi then went on to explain to Huo Yuhao:
"We Body Martial Soul Soul Masters are entirely different. Our Martial Souls are part of our bodies, and cultivation depends entirely on the individual.
"Even if you take a Soul Master with the same body part as your master, it's no use. You can only use their methods as a reference.
"Take your eldest senior brother, Long Aotian. His Martial Soul is his face. He completed a Silver-Rank Second Awakening and received my personal instruction, but what use was that?
"The prototype of the unique art he created himself, Unity of Heaven and Man, doesn't have a damn thing to do with my own unique arts. He created it himself, entirely under my guidance."
As Du Busi said this, his voice was full of excitement and smugness, and his eyes shone with pride.
Huo Yuhao only half understood, so he asked, "Sect master, are there any experts in the Body Sect whose Martial Soul is their eyes, like mine?"
At those words, Du Busi sank into thought and muttered to himself, "An expert whose Martial Soul is their eyes..."
Up to now, even including what he had in his memories, he really hadn't encountered a Body Soul Master who had worked wonders with their eyes and become the first to complete a Gold-Rank Second Awakening with an eye Martial Soul.
Most disciples whose Martial Souls were their eyes were mediocre.
He shook his head and said, "There really isn't one, but there is someone whose Martial Soul is close to the eyes: their pupils.
"Yuhao, I have to remind you, if you have a way to cultivate your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, you must let your imagination run wild.
"Only then can your Body Martial Soul continue to develop without limits."
Huo Yuhao suddenly saw the light. If that was the case... he thought of a few possibilities.
Since he had transmigrated into Huo Yuhao, aside from the First Soul Skill, the Soul Skills that followed couldn't possibly go according to Huo Yuhao's original plan.
If he continued following Huo Yuhao's original plan, wouldn't his transmigration have been for nothing?
What would be the point of transmigrating, then...?
When it came to characters from his previous life who used their eyes, the first one Huo Yuhao thought of was Erlang, the Sage-Manifesting True Lord, Yang Jian!
Thinking of that deity, Huo Yuhao instantly saw the direction his Spirit Eyes could take in the future.
The Heavenly Eye: he would evolve his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul into a third eye in the truest sense!
Perception, dispelling illusions, attacking, destruction, foresight, seeing through things, and discernment were all the main abilities of Yang Jian's third eye, the Heavenly Eye.
He didn't seek to surpass Yang Jian, only to stand on equal footing with his abilities.
Shrek Academy.
Outside the white dormitory building for new students.
"Not there... not there... not there... still not there..."
Not far from the new students' dormitory building, an old man lay on a wooden recliner, watching the students coming and going out of the corner of his eye.
He hadn't found the person he was looking for.
Suddenly, a girl with particularly eye-catching pink-and-blue hair entered the old man's field of vision.
In an instant, his formerly frail, world-weary eyes filled with indescribable shock.
He recognized the girl: Wang Dong'er!
Wang Dong'er had actually joined Shrek without disguising herself as a boy!
That was completely different from the memories he possessed.
Mu En silently watched Wang Dong'er enter the new students' dormitory, then closed his eyes again.
Even a lazy little fellow like Wang Dong'er had arrived. Huo Yuhao was basically out of the picture.
In his memories, Huo Yuhao had been tens or even hundreds of times more diligent than Wang Dong'er.
Once new-student enrollment ended today, he would go find Bei Bei and get to the bottom of it.
Wang Dong'er entered, clutching her dormitory key as she looked at the room number, 502, on the doorplate.
Is this my new dorm room...?
She took a deep breath. This was her first time living in a double room. She wouldn't run into one of those rumored lilies, would she?
At the thought of the word "lily," Wang Dong'er immediately thought of the famous Ice and Snow Empresses.
When she thought of the sweet scenes of the two together in their daily lives, Wang Dong'er couldn't help imagining the rest.
On an ice bed radiating cold, the little loli baby Ice Empress leaned against the mature Snow Empress as they engaged in an activity involving digging into the Far North.
No, no, no!
What was she thinking?!
Wang Dong'er shook her head, driving those thoughts away.
She pushed open the dormitory door, and a familiar figure came into view.
The girl looked almost exactly like her; her appearance could have been copied one-to-one from Wang Dong'er's.
The only differences were her presence and the stray locks on her head.
Her presence was fiercer than Wang Dong'er's, imposing and commanding, with the air of a woman born to be a powerhouse.
She also had one fewer stray lock than Wang Dong'er's two.
If she hadn't possessed memories of the future, Wang Dong'er would have wondered where she'd picked up a younger sister.
A younger sister carved from her own mold.
Wang Dong'er's eyes flew wide with anger, and she roared, "Wang Qiu'er!"
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's my good-for-nothing little sister."
