Chapter 3: Tang Ya Invites to Join the Tang Sect, Unleashing Shocking Secrets!
Page 1/3
Huo Yuhao’s awkward expression made Zhuge Lan burst into laughter.
“Interesting, very interesting!”
“Zhuge, don’t tease Yuhao anymore,” Tianmeng Bingcan said speechlessly. “This so-called Dark Blue Silvergrass, you should have a way to prevent degeneration and awaken it normally, right?”
Huo Yuhao’s eyes brightened instantly!
He asked eagerly, “Brother Lan, is what Brother Tianmeng said true?”
“Tch! You’re too nosy!” Zhuge Lan snorted. “Awakening is easy, but removing the bloodline is troublesome and consumes a lot of fortune points. Yuhao, you should work hard and save up first.”
Huo Yuhao’s heart leapt with joy and he nodded repeatedly.
“I’ll work hard!”
“But Brother Lan, what exactly are these fortune points?”
“That Mandala Serpent is barely holding on,” Zhuge Lan said slowly. “You should decide whether to warn her first. We’ll talk about the fortune points later.”
Huo Yuhao: “...”
Meanwhile, Beibei unleashed a fierce electric assault, leaving the Mandala Serpent half-paralyzed.
Tang Ya jumped up excitedly!
“Wow! Yuhao, your soul skill is amazing!”
“Once I absorb this soul ring, I’ll definitely repay you!”
She took out a half-foot throwing knife and, with a flick of her hand, stabbed it straight into the serpent’s eye, finishing it off decisively.
A purple light coalesced into a purple soul ring.
Tang Ya sat cross-legged, happily summoning a Blue Silvergrass martial soul to absorb the soul ring.
Huo Yuhao couldn’t hold back and shouted—
“Wait!”
Beibei and Tang Ya both looked over.
“What’s wrong, Yuhao?” Tang Ya asked, puzzled.
Huo Yuhao’s mind raced as he prepared an explanation.
“My martial soul is mutated, and the first soul ring I absorbed was mutated as well, so I awakened a mutated ability that lets me see information invisible to ordinary people.”
“Tang Ya, your Blue Silvergrass martial soul is not suitable for absorbing this Mandala Serpent soul ring; it’s more suited to life-type plant soul beasts.”
“If you don’t believe me... just think I’m talking nonsense.”
Beibei and Tang Ya exchanged glances, a mixture of surprise, doubt, and contemplation on their faces.
Beibei, ever inquisitive, tested him. “Then Yuhao, what do you think of my martial soul?”
He summoned his martial soul, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, whose natural pressure as a first-level beast martial soul spread out.
Huo Yuhao summoned his soul eye and silently called to Zhuge Lan:
“Brother Lan! Help! Please take a look!”
“You made up a lie and now want me to cover for you?” Zhuge Lan teased.
“Brother Lan! I can say whatever afterward! Please, help me this once!” Huo Yuhao lowered his tone, showing genuine humility.

Seeing this, Zhuge Lan stopped teasing.
Without any cost in fortune points, he revealed a wealth of information.
Huo Yuhao repeated it:—
“Brother Beibei, your martial soul is the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, but your bloodline is unstable. It usually appears as the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus but can self-evolve toward the Light Saint Dragon form, right?”
Beibei’s eyes widened in astonishment.
He really saw through that?
The secret of self-evolving martial souls was something even Tang Ya only knew roughly, without understanding.
Huo Yuhao, having met them only twice, could not possibly know.
So...
“Yuhao, your mutated martial soul is truly impressive!” Beibei said with admiration. “If you can see Tang Ya’s martial soul evolution path, can you see mine?”
“Absorbing soul rings or soul bones possessing or close to the Light Saint Dragon bloodline,” Huo Yuhao answered without hesitation, “like the Heavenly Dragon Horse with pure Light Saint Dragon bloodline—if you make it your soul...”
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Soul spirit?
What’s that?
But now was not the time to ask, so he corrected himself, “As a soul ring, there’s a high chance it will stabilize your martial soul’s evolution.”
Beibei suddenly clapped his palm!
His first three soul rings were all lightning attribute; no wonder his martial soul evolution was unstable.
The direction had been wrong all along.
Tang Ya also stood up, reluctantly glancing once more at the Mandala Serpent soul ring, then decisively walked over to Huo Yuhao.
At the same time, in the spiritual realm, Zhuge Lan sensed a large influx of fortune points.
He spent 1 fortune point to create a system notification:
[Rewrite Tang Ya’s fate, +20,000 fortune points!]
Wow!
That’s a lot!
But considering it...
Choosing which soul ring to absorb has a profound impact on the martial soul’s future development and combat style.
Especially for Tang Ya, as a supporting character, current head of the Tang Sect, and one of the future leaders of the Evil Soul Master faction.
Interfering with her soul ring choice would have far-reaching consequences.
20,000 fortune points was more than reasonable.
“Yuhao, do you have any family?” Tang Ya asked.
Huo Yuhao’s eyes dimmed.
He shook his head firmly. “It’s just me left.”
“Really? That’s great!” Tang Ya said happily.
Huo Yuhao: ???
Beibei silently tugged the corner of his mouth and tapped Tang Ya on the head.
“Watch your words.”

Tang Ya realized her slip but still glared at Beibei.
Then she stuck out her tongue and said, “Sorry, Yuhao. I was just thinking of inviting you to join my sect. It’s easier when you have no family to worry about.”
“Sect? Inviting me?”
Huo Yuhao was surprised—they had only met twice.
Tang Ya placed her hands on her hips, proudly declaring—
“Our sect was once the number one on the continent!”
“Our secret martial arts are also perfect for your cultivation.”
“You’re all alone and so young; if you join, everyone can look out for each other. It’s better than you going in blindly by yourself.”
“You can’t always be so lucky. What if something goes wrong during your solo missions?”
“By the way, our sect is called—the Tang Sect!”
Huo Yuhao’s body trembled!
The Tang Sect!
When he was very young, his mother told him the legends of the Tang Sect.
Founded over ten thousand years ago, its history rivaled the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and the Haotian Sect. The first Tang Sect leader, Tang San, broke through beyond the Title Douluo and ascended to the divine realm!
Moreover, if the Tang Sect hadn’t altered the continent’s balance ten thousand years ago, laying the foundation for future development, the Douluo Continent might have been conquered when the Sun Moon Continent collided over four thousand years ago.
Sensing Huo Yuhao’s thoughts, Zhuge Lan sneered.
“If it weren’t for that little nobody intervening, the Martial Soul Hall would have unified the continent long ago, bringing common prosperity.”
“And there wouldn’t have been the subsequent civil war in the Tian Dou Empire, splitting into the Tianhun and Douling empires, alongside the Xingluo Empire—three powers balancing and restraining each other, delaying development.”
“Without the Sun Moon Continent’s collision four thousand years ago, the Martial Soul Empire would have conquered it already.”
Huo Yuhao listened with his mouth slightly open.
So the Tang Sect hadn’t only failed to contribute but had even caused trouble?
But...
“You don’t believe me?”
Zhuge Lan retorted—
“In the Martial Soul Hall era, all commoners could awaken their martial souls. Even those from remote mountainous regions would trek long distances to get there.”
“And every soul master received subsidies: level 10 and above got 1 gold spirit coin per month; level 20 and above got 10 gold spirit coins.”
“If you were born in that era, your mother, as a level 17 soul master, wouldn’t have died from overwork, and you wouldn’t have suffered malnutrition.”
Huo Yuhao’s gaze became distant.
Free martial soul awakenings?
Soul master subsidies?
Was there really such a golden age?
And...
The Tang Sect ended that era!
