Tang Ya said softly:
“Thank you.”
Bei Bei burst out laughing:
“What’s wrong? You rarely thank me normally. Is it because of this junior brother? I’m not going to have to discipline my own lover, am I?”
Tang Ya angrily hit him:
“You know what I’m thanking you for, don’t play dumb.”
Bei Bei reached out and pulled Tang Ya into his embrace:
“Little Ya, I admit that I agreed to join the Tang Sect because I liked you; it was love at first sight. But after cultivating the Tang Sect’s cultivation methods, I discovered that the Tang Sect still holds many mysteries. Although the sect has declined, if we can rely on ourselves to revive the Tang Sect, wouldn’t that be an interesting endeavor? Therefore, what I do is not only for you, but also for myself.”
Tang Ya blinked:
“If that’s the case, if I didn’t like you, would you still continue to strive for the Tang Sect?”
Bei Bei’s expression changed, and he gasped:
“Are you kidding me?”
“Haha.”
Tang Ya teased Bei Bei:
“I just love seeing your expression right now. Aren’t you tired of always being so serious and dignified?”
Bei Bei lightly tapped her head:
“That’s called good upbringing, don’t think everyone is like you, with every thought written on their face.”
Tang Ya shook his arm, feigning grievance:
“Don’t tap my head anymore, that’s disrespectful to your teacher. Oh, do you think Little Huo can persevere at the academy?”
Bei Bei mused:
“It’s hard to say, it depends on him. I can only say that if he truly perseveres for twelve years at the academy, his achievements might even surpass mine.”
Tang Ya was surprised:
“I didn’t expect you to rate him so highly.”
Bei Bei smiled:
“Our junior brother’s mutated martial soul is far from ordinary. I’ll explain a little, and you’ll understand immediately. The first time he used Spirit Detection Sharing compared to the second time was extremely different. In other words, although he hasn’t mastered its use yet, its scope has continuously expanded. Moreover, he said the skill can evolve. If all of his soul skills can evolve in the future, he will undoubtedly become the number one Spirit Control System Soul Master.”
Tang Ya said:
“It’s just that his self-preservation ability would be a bit lacking then.”
Bei Bei said:
“Wrong. He fundamentally doesn’t need self-preservation. Just based on his current soul skills, he won’t lack people joining his team.”
Huo Yuhao’s cultivation time was longer than Bei Bei’s and Tang Ya’s; he only finished cultivating at noon. Under Bei Bei’s guidance, he was considered to have formally begun cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
After cultivating, the three of them ate some vegetables and then headed west.
The Star Dou Great Forest is located within the Star Luo Empire, with only a small portion belonging to the Heavenly Soul Empire. Shrek Academy is situated to the northwest of the Star Dou Great Forest, not too far away.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei entered the Star Dou Great Forest from the south because there were fewer powerful soul beasts there, making it a bit safer. However, the soul beasts near Shrek Academy were extremely powerful.
Shrek Academy often had disciples entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts. The powerful soul beasts in the forest harbored great hatred, even organizing beast tides to attack the academy on multiple occasions.
Therefore, at the academy, anyone below the Soul King rank was not permitted to enter the Star Dou Great Forest alone. Even Soul Kings required a guide to be allowed entry.
Huo Yuhao and the other two traveled towards the academy. Their pace wasn’t too fast because they had to take a detour around the Star Dou Great Forest, a journey of nearly a thousand li.
On the way, Tang Ya and Bei Bei imparted the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques to him. What Huo Yuhao comprehended most was the Xuantian Skill and Purple Demon Eyes. As for Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Mysterious Jade Hand, he was only at the beginner level.
Huo Yuhao's diligence deeply moved Bei Bei and Tang Ya. An eleven-year-old boy could continuously cultivate, attentively listening to Bei Bei explain techniques to enhance Soul Power, and constantly using Spiritual Detection Sharing to push its limits. When it was time to rest, he immediately cultivated the Xuantian Skill, and while releasing skills, he would also multitask, practicing the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Mysterious Jade Hand.
It was also because Huo Yuhao's meditation time for cultivating the Xuantian Skill was quite long, which slowed down their overall pace, but Bei Bei and Tang Ya didn't urge him to hurry; they even increased his cultivation time.
"Little Ya, if you could put in half the effort of your junior brother, with your talent, you might have already surpassed me by now."
Bei Bei said, looking at Huo Yuhao, who was cultivating cross-legged.
Tang Ya pouted.
"Why don't you compare yourself to Little Huo? It seems like something is driving him to cultivate so frantically. I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
Bei Bei smiled.
"Having a goal to strive for is certainly not a bad thing. Besides, he's still young, his understanding isn't fully developed yet, so any issues can be resolved. The most important thing for him is to break through to rank thirty before he turns twenty."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had awakened. There were still faint white streams of energy flowing across his face. His eyes held a faint golden glow, and his Spiritual Eyes appeared even more profound.
Huo Yuhao's diligent cultivation was, of course, to enhance his cultivation base, but more importantly, it was for the unique experience after cultivating the Xuantian Skill.
With the help of Bei Bei and Tang Ya, his physique had undergone changes. The Xuantian Skill was an exceptionally superior cultivation method. They traveled for four days, and Huo Yuhao also cultivated for four days. During these four days, his Soul Power had completely transformed into the Soul Power of the Xuantian Skill. In the process of transformation, the mixed Soul Power within his body was continuously refined, becoming purer. Each time he completed his cultivation, he felt incredibly refreshed. The effect of restoring his energy was even better than sleeping.
Although his Soul Power didn't increase significantly, its quality steadily improved. After cultivating the Xuantian Skill, Huo Yuhao clearly felt his bodily functions strengthen.
This rapid progress was something he had never experienced before in his cultivation. How could he not strive frantically?
"Little Huo, you don't have to be like this. You should rest a bit. If you keep cultivating like this, you'll soon turn into a wooden statue."
Tang Ya advised seriously.
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Yes, Teacher."
Tang Ya couldn't help but laugh.
"You don't have to be so obedient and earnest, it's deadly boring. Come on, we're almost at the academy. You've been cultivating non-stop these past few days, and I haven't had a chance to remind you about what to pay attention to when entering the academy. Rest for a bit, clear your head, and then listen to what I have to say."
