What puzzled Tang Yuhao, however, was that he found his memories seemed a little too hazy.
He did not know why, and his Martial Soul was also somewhat different.
An ordinary Blue Silver Emperor was azure blue with golden patterns, symbolizing surging vitality.
His Blue Silver Grass, on the other hand, was dark blue, with a few thin red patterns running through it. Those tomato-red patterns were as fine as strands of hair and could not be seen without a close look; gold was still the most prominent color...
Yet Tang Yuhao could sense that another kind of talent seemed to exist within his Martial Soul.
It was as though he only needed an instant to awaken it.
For the time being, he did not have many thoughts about that unusual talent.
After all, his cultivation speed was not slow: he was ten years old and at level twenty.
Thinking of his status as a member of a Tang Sect branch, he realized he could only go to Shrek now.
With that thought, Tang Yuhao headed toward Shrek Academy...
Meanwhile, after Electrolux had briefly left that place again and was taking Huo Yuhao back toward Heaven Dou City,
Huo Yuhao did not know why, but something felt vaguely wrong in his heart-or rather, in his body.
It was as though his body had encountered something truly compatible with it.
He even felt vaguely as though his body and soul were being pulled apart.
For a moment, Huo Yuhao was bewildered. He hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power, trying to suppress the strange sensation within him.
Afterward, someone occurred to Huo Yuhao.
Could the original Huo Yuhao's soul still be around?
But according to the usual rules for transmigrators, the original owner's soul should either have died or been taken away. How could it still be here?
Yet Huo Yuhao could think of no other explanation for the strange reaction in his body.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao looked at Electrolux and could not help asking softly,
"Elder Yi, do you have any particular insights into how to fuse the body and spiritual power?"
Hearing this, Electrolux was briefly taken aback, then shook his head helplessly.
He really did not know about that.
Huo Yuhao had not held out much hope to begin with, but he now felt a sense of urgency.
He had to find the Body Sect quickly. Whether it was to verify if his Body Martial Soul could undergo a Second Awakening or to suppress the strange sensation in his body, both matters were pressing.
Thus, Huo Yuhao came to the Soul Fighting Arena in Heaven Dou City.
He signed up to compete on the spot. He did not win in a crushing fashion, instead revealing his Body Martial Soul.
Huo Yuhao believed that, since he had revealed a little of himself in a place like the Soul Fighting Arena, the Body Sect's people should come looking for him soon.
In fact, they came even sooner than Huo Yuhao had imagined. The very next day, he had just come downstairs with Electrolux for breakfast at the hotel.
There, he discovered a figure sitting in the restaurant, seemingly for a long time already. The man raised his head and looked straight at him.
He was an exceptionally tall, powerfully built old man, broad-shouldered and thick-backed, with terrifying strength contained in his muscles.
His skin was rosy and smooth, almost like a baby's, and he had few wrinkles. Judging by his face alone, he seemed middle-aged, but his eyes held the vicissitudes of two centuries.
His hair, beard, and pupils were all dark green, the result of years of immersion in his innate toxins.
He was slightly bald on top, with long dark green hair at the sides and back of his head. His full beard was dark green as well.
His features were sharp and angular, and his dark green eyes were as keen as blades, giving him a naturally fierce, oppressive presence.
"Yuhao, this man is very strong. Be careful."
Hearing Electrolux's words and taking in the man's appearance, Huo Yuhao was able to determine that, barring any surprises, the person before him should be Du Busi, the Body Sect's sect master.
After all, he was the only one left whom Electrolux would call very strong.
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate much. He simply sat down where he had originally intended to, neither too close to nor too far from Du Busi.
That made Du Busi raise an eyebrow. Only after Huo Yuhao had finished breakfast did he walk over, stare straight at him, and tease him in a raspy voice.
"You little fellow, your talent is astonishing."
"It's just a pity that the one backing you is a bit of a problem."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was able to confirm that Du Busi had probably investigated everything about him and Electrolux.
"This is my teacher."
Huo Yuhao spoke softly, making his position clear.
After all, he could hear that Du Busi was probing him.
Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul, Double Pupils, was a Body Martial Soul, at any rate, whether he had killed people or done anything else. But Electrolux's Martial Soul-or rather, his abilities-were simply too bizarre.
Although, relatively speaking, there was no denying that the Body Sect had a reputation for doing as it pleased, being neither wholly righteous nor wholly wicked.
But admitting an acknowledged Evil Soul Master, and one who had slaughtered the Duke's Mansion at that, would presumably put Du Busi under some pressure.
"Heh heh, you're a slippery little fellow. But our ancestors' precepts are clear: anyone with a Body Martial Soul is a disciple of our Body Sect."
"So now I would very much like to hear why you slaughtered the entire Duke's Mansion."
Huo Yuhao was briefly stunned by the question, then spoke softly, his voice slightly hoarse.
"My father is Dai Hao. My mother is Huo Yun'er. We only wanted to stay alive..."
Huo Yuhao slowly told his story. As for Electrolux, he mentioned him only in passing, describing him as someone who loathed the power of light and had been forced to use a forbidden technique.
"Little fellow, you really haven't been cautious enough."
Du Busi shook his head. Before Huo Yuhao could show any reaction, he added,
"I heard Dai Hao has another son, someone called Dai Luoli or something like that, in the military camp."
Huo Yuhao: ...6
He had almost imagined Du Busi to be exceptionally merciful.
But thinking of Dai Luoli, Huo Yuhao fell into a momentary daze.
In the Duke's Mansion, Dai Luoli's mother was likewise of low status. She was also the only person who would occasionally and discreetly make things easier for his mother and give him a little help.
Because of that kindness, he had no right to lay a hand on her.
"It seems you have another story, but you can tell it slowly later."
"Let's talk about the biggest headache."
"His Eminence Electrolux here."
Du Busi now looked at Electrolux, a trace of gravity appearing in his eyes.
He could not sense the slightest trace of Soul Power from him. Either Electrolux was stronger than he was, a legendary Limit Douluo. But if that were really the case, Electrolux presumably would not have ended up like this.
Or his spiritual power was very strong, and he was a spiritual-type Soul Master.
Huo Yuhao's expression, meanwhile, remained as calm as ever.
If Du Busi recruited him but rejected Electrolux, his intelligence could only be said to rival Xuan Zi's.
Du Busi tapped his fingers, let out a turbid breath, and spoke softly.
"How about this, Yuhao? Your talent qualifies you to join our Body Sect. As for your honored teacher, he can be a guest elder of the Body Sect. What do you say?"
