The Body Sect Arrives
There's not much to say about the individual battles between the Shrek Academy and Dou Ling Royal Academy; they were basically the same as the team battles. In the individual battles, Dou Ling Empire was completely crushed by Shrek. You could say that even though the outcome wasn't decided yet, the result was already pretty much in the bag.
This relieved Wang Yan, the team's commander. No unexpected incidents occurred in this competition, and Shrek Academy's full strength was not revealed, which meant that Shrek had preserved enough of its trump cards.
As long as they follow the tactical instructions step by step in the upcoming semi-finals, Wang Yan believes that Shrek can continue to win, and even facing the Sun Moon Royal Academy will not be a problem.
Just as everyone was still thinking about their respective teams' winter break, one person left Shrek Academy's lounge.
That person was Huo Yuhao.
Because of his previous argument with Wang Yan, Huo Yuhao did not follow Wang Yan's instructions to have everyone present provide Spiritual Detection Sharing and assistance. Also, since this individual competition had nothing to do with him, Huo Yuhao applied to leave the competition venue early some time after the competition started, wanting to return to his dormitory to cultivate.
Wang Yan simply let him leave, then casually said "Be careful on your way" before Huo Yuhao departed from Star Luo Plaza.
However, just as he was returning alone, two people suddenly appeared in front of Huo Yuhao and blocked his way.
They were two men, both with ordinary appearances, but with peculiar physiques. One had an exceptionally thick right arm, while the other was small and thin with an enormous head, resembling a bobblehead.
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "Please step aside, both of you."
The man with thick arms said, "Little guy, can we talk?" His voice was deep and muffled, and although he was clearly trying his best to suppress it, he still exuded a terrifying and intimidating aura.
Huo Yuhao was also taken aback. "I don't know you."
Another large-headed man looked at Huo Yuhao, smiled slightly, and said, "Now that you know each other, don't you?" His eyes were peculiar, and his gaze was unusually gentle. Huo Yuhao's heart tightened suddenly, and the golden light in his Spirit Eyes was clearly radiating outwards.
"We mean no harm, we just want to have a chat with you. We can see your thirst for power. If you want to pursue even greater power, come with us." The big-headed man looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of surprise in his eyes, then led the man with the thick right arm toward the rest area on one side of the hall. There were several sofas there for the customers to relax on.
After some deliberation and debate, Huo Yuhao ultimately obeyed the other party's words.
Part of the reason was his curiosity about the power the two men were talking about, and another part was that he could sense that these two men were very strong. Therefore, although it seemed that they were giving him a choice, if he refused, he might be forcibly taken away, because in this Douluo Continent, the weak have no right to choose.
Huo Yuhao walked to the rest area alone. Only the two strange people were there at the moment. There were many guests coming and going in the hotel, but none of them came here to rest.
Huo Yuhao sat down opposite the two men. Huo Yuhao asked, "What brings you two here? This must be the first time I've met you."
The large-headed man smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Of course. However, we have been observing you for some time now. If I'm not mistaken, your First Martial Soul, which is also your main attribute Martial Soul, should be your eyes. Your first Soul Skill is a kind of Spiritual Detection ability, which can even be shared with companions. You have also cultivated a kind of Mental Shock ability through a special training method. Based on my judgment, it is very similar to the Purple Demon Eye of the Tang Sect in the past. Your second Soul Skill of your eye Martial Soul should be a kind of ability similar to confusion or Simulation. I remember there is a kind of Ice Silkworm in the north that seems to be good at using this ability to fake death and deceive enemies. You also seem to have several Soul Bone on your body, among which the skill of the Head Soul Bone is something similar to the Spiritual Domain. To have such a treasure at such a young age is truly a blessing. I wonder if I am right?"
The large-headed man Lang Ya, uttered a few simple words that sent a chill running up Huo Yuhao's spine, leaving him feeling cold all over. The sensation of being completely seen through made him feel as if he were naked and exposed to the other man.
Fortunately, his Spiritual Power was still quite strong. Although he was greatly surprised, he managed to hold back from saying, "How did you know?"
Seeing the shock in Huo Yuhao's eyes, the big-headed man continued, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lang Ya, and this is my brother Yu Tao. We come from the Body Sect, which I believe you've heard of."
Huo Yuhao was once again taken aback when he heard the words "Body Sect." He had never imagined that the Body Sect would come knocking on his door.
In the Soul Master World, although the Body Sect rarely appears, they are absolutely a renowned existence. Among the most peculiar beings in the Soul Master World, without a doubt, Evil Soul Master rank first, and the only group that can rival Evil Soul Master in terms of peculiarity and power is probably the Body Sect.
Moreover, in the eyes of most martial arts masters, the Body Sect is even more terrifying than the Evil Soul Master. Although the Evil Soul Master are powerful, they almost always appear as individuals or small groups. The Body Sect, however, is a true sect! It is known as the most mysterious sect in the world.
It is easy to imagine how awe-inspiring the overall strength of the Body Sect is.
At present, the only sect that can surpass the glory of the Body Sect is the recently booming Spirit Contract Pagoda.
Huo Yuhao never expected that the reclusive Body Sect, would appear here, especially since it was targeting him, a student who wasn't highly regarded by Huo Yuhao Shrek Academy!
Lang Ya smiled slightly at Huo Yuhao and said, "I'll get straight to the point. Our purpose in finding you is simple: to guide you back to the sect."
"Return?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback; he had never joined any sect before!
Lang Ya nodded and said, "It's about returning. The Body Sect is the home of all Soul Master who possess Body Martial Soul. Since your Martial Soul is your eye, then you are a member of the Body Sect. Now that we've discovered you, we naturally want to bring you home."
Huo Yuhao had only heard the name "Body Sect" a few times, but it was always shrouded in mystery and power. Undoubtedly, joining the Body Sect would greatly benefit his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul cultivation. However, could he truly trust these two unexpected visitors? Even if he could, could he leave Shrek Academy?
Just then, Huo Yuhao recalled what had happened with the Shrek members in the past few days. A seed sprouted in Huo Yuhao's heart, and eventually he gathered all his thoughts into a single sentence.
"I do."
