Chapter 3: Strange Tang Ya

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a million-year soul ring. Reward: Limited-time Thunder God's Wings]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special soul ring. Reward: Random Gift Pack X1]

"Who was that God? So terrifying!"

A trembling voice echoed in his mind. Even with his million-year Soul Beast's spiritual power, he felt like a small fry in front of that being.

"My Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao felt the soul power within his body. He had already reached level 20 and could now obtain his second soul ring.

"What! Your Nartial Soul! Isn't it just your eyes?"

The Skydream Ice Silkworm was clearly in disbelief. When it was preparing to become Huo Yuhao's soul ring, it had sensed that his martial soul was just a pair of eyes. How could it be related to that god?

"Spirit Eyes, that was just on the surface."

A trace of excitement flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he brought up his attributes.

[Host: Huo Yuhao]

[Martial Soul: Judge of the Holy Light (Holy Light Spirit God)]

[Soul Rings:

- Platinum (Million Years)

- Gray (Special)]

[Inventory: Grilled Fish x2.5, Silver Soul Coins x8, White Tiger Dagger…]

The Skydream Ice Silkworm fell silent, realizing it might have made a mistake. This human was not as simple as it initially thought.

Why wasn't this human afraid upon seeing it?

Maybe he knew it would appear and would become his soul ring.

Alright, alright, I get it now. High-level hunters always disguise themselves as prey.

Turns out, I'm the fool here.

"Fine, this is still better than being captured by other soul beasts. And if that god is his martial soul, then his future…"

The Skydream Ice Silkworm chuckled bitterly, accepting its fate.

"Little brother! Are you alright!"

Then suddenly Tang Ya came out of nowhere and rushed towards Huo Yuhao, starting to check his body.

The commotion just now had been too great. Although the immense spiritual power had paused time for the surrounding creatures, that terrifying power could still be sensed, prompting both of them to come here and unexpectedly find him.

"Big Sister Tang Ya, let go of me, and I'm not that young. Stop calling me little brother."

Huo Yuhao felt strange. They had only just met, and she was already holding him like they were a couple. Wasn't this something only lovers did?

"I just like calling you little brother, little brother, little brother."

Tang Ya recalled the first time she saw Huo Yuhao. Maybe she shouldn't call him little brother anymore. His physical development was quite uneven.

"You even call me Sister Tang Ya?"

Huo Yuhao felt speechless. Should he call her Sister Tang Ya or just Tang Ya?

There is something called courtesy in the world, yknow?

"System, is this your doing? I don't think my charm is so great that a girl would fall for me at first sight."

Huo Yuhao admitted he was handsome, but not to the extent of being universally adored and loved at first sight.

There could only be one explanation…

[Humans are drawn to light and its pursuit. The system has also kindly made it effective only towards the opposite sex.]

"666!"

All Huo Yuhao could do was shout "awesome". His Martial Soul had this function too, which was just the cherry on top for someone as handsome as him.

"Xiao Ya!"

Bei Bei saw the person he liked in another man's arms, even if that person was young. He still felt a green glow over his head.

"Calm down! He's just a kid! Xiao Ya must think the same! I can't show a bad side in front of her."

Bei Bei regained his composed demeanor and noticed the baboon's corpse and the yellow soul ring behind Huo Yuhao. (He still thought disguising it as a white soul ring was too low-key.)

Actually, there were two, but Huo Yuhao hadn't revealed the second soul ring.

"Only one soul ring, so he didn't have any before this. He managed to kill a century-old soul beast. Even if his talent isn't great, his combat skills are top-notch."

Seeing the hundred-year soul ring behind Huo Yuhao, the baboon's worth instantly increased from ten years to a hundred.

Even in death, it was upgraded. The baboon's life was now fulfilled.

"Brother Huo, congratulations on obtaining a soul ring. To kill a hundred-year soul beast without a soul ring is impressive. What are your plans now? Going home?"

Bei Bei, although displeased with Tang Ya's actions, remembered her intention to recruit Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect.

"Home? I have no family left."

He had no attachment to his so-called family, especially since they were responsible for his mother's death.

"That's great!"

Tang Ya jumped up joyfully, not noticing the black lines on the faces of the two beside her.

Bei Bei: …

Huo Yuhao: …

Is it really okay to say that? Are you sure you won't get hit by other people?

"Why did you come to find me?"

Huo Yuhao knew why they were here. They wanted him to join the Tang Sect.

Although he had a bad impression of Tang San, and would love to give him a good beating if he were strong enough, it didn't affect his decision to join the Tang Sect. It would provide him with an identity and some protection.

"You have a lot of guts, coming to the Star Dou Great Forest alone. We came to protect you and, by the way…"

"By the way, what?"

Huo Yuhao continued playing dumb, finding it amusing to see Tang Ya's shy expression.

"Little brother! Since you have no place to go, why not join our sect? Our sect used to be the best on the continent, extremely powerful."

Tang Ya spoke proudly, but her eyes showed a hint of pain and anger.

She wasn't lying, but that was in the past. Now, the sect only had two members left.

"Okay! I'll join."

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. This didn't interfere with his plans, and having this identity would help him make Tang San suffer in the future.

"I'll introduce… wait, you agreed?"

Tang Ya was stunned. She hadn't even introduced the sect's name, and he already agreed. Wasn't this too hasty?

"Could it be because of me?"

Tang Ya blushed, considering the possibility.

Sure enough, I still am quite attractive. Just one meeting, and he's already drawn to me.

"Sister Tang Ya! Sister Tang Ya!"

Huo Yuhao saw that Tang Ya was motionless, an exaggerated expression adorning her face and waved his hand in front of her.

This daydreaming ability is too outrageous, and this expression seems to be thinking about something that is not very healthy.

"It's nothing, nothing! Since you agreed, let's proceed with the initiation!"

Tang Ya snapped back to reality, her face turning redder as she recalled her thoughts.

"Disciple Huo Yuhao…"

Let's go through the motions. Having a pretty master is nice.

A teacher-student romance sounds exciting…

"Bah! What am I thinking!"
