8: Chapter 8 Invitation to Join the Tang Clan

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked,

"Sister Xiaoya, what is the name of your sect?"

At the mention of this, Tang Ya immediately puffed out her small chest, her face filled with pride and a sense of sacredness.

"Listen well, our sect is the one that was once the number one sect in the world—the Tang Sect!"

The Tang Sect?

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback.

When his mother was still alive, her favorite stories to tell him were about the Original Shrek Seven Devils and the Tang Sect.

Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San—that was a legendary god!

He never dreamed that one day, he would actually encounter people from the Tang Sect.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's shocked expression, Tang Ya and Bei Bei both smiled.

They knew that for any Spirit Master, this name represented supreme glory.

"I..."

Huo Yuhao's lips trembled, and his eyes turned red again.

He abruptly looked up and said with absolute determination, "I'm willing! Sister Xiaoya, Brother Bei Bei, I am willing to join the Tang Sect!"

Tang Ya jumped up happily and grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand.

"Great! From now on, our Tang Sect has three members!"

Wait, there's one more...

Tang Ya's gaze immediately turned to Su Chen, who had been watching the scene from the side, her eyes sparkling with expectation.

"Su Chen, you see Yuhao has joined, do you want to join as well?"

Su Chen was leaning against a large tree; hearing this, he lazily lifted his eyelids.

"Not interested."

Two words, crisp and clean.

The smile on Tang Ya's face instantly froze, and her whole being wilted.

She had seen Su Chen's strength with her own eyes; if he could join, the revival of the Tang Sect would definitely be just around the corner.

But this guy actually rejected her so bluntly.

It was truly infuriating!

Bei Bei walked over and gently patted Tang Ya's shoulder, his voice tender.

"Xiaoya, don't be angry. That's just Su Chen's personality."

After comforting Tang Ya, he turned to look at Su Chen with a gentle smile on his face.

"Su Chen, we are preparing to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Xiaoya hunt for her third spirit ring. Do you want to come along?"

Bei Bei knew very well that with Su Chen there, this soul-hunting journey would be more than just a little bit easier.

Su Chen's gaze swept over the dejected Tang Ya, recalling Yan Shaozhe's instructions in his heart.

Fine, consider it helping an elder look after Bei Bei's wife.

"Sure, let's go."

...

The four of them soon entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

As it was getting late, Bei Bei suggested searching for a suitable target in the outer regions.

The team formation naturally took shape.

Bei Bei walked at the very front, alertly scouting the path.

Tang Ya and the newly joined Huo Yuhao walked in the middle.

Along the way, Tang Ya regained her liveliness, enthusiastically explaining the various secret techniques of the Tang Sect to Huo Yuhao.

From the cultivation methods of the Mysterious Heaven Skill to the footwork of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, she spoke eloquently, as if she were already a peerless master.

Huo Yuhao's eyes shone as he listened, his yearning for the Tang Sect deepening further.

Meanwhile, Su Chen trailed at the very back of the group, hands behind his head as if he were just taking a stroll.

Right at that moment.

"Hiss—"

A low hiss came from the dense forest ahead.

A gust of fishy wind blew toward them.

Bei Bei's expression tightened, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Something's happening!"

A large, entirely pink snake slithered out from the bushes.

It was seven or eight meters long, as thick as a water bucket, with a small fleshy crest on its head.

Bei Bei's expression shifted slightly.

"It's a Datura Snake! Looking at its size, it has at least over fifteen hundred years of cultivation."

The Datura Snake flicked its long tongue, its cold vertical pupils locking onto them tightly.

Huo Yuhao felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he subconsciously took a step back.

This thing looked like it was not to be trifled with.

But Tang Ya's eyes instantly lit up.

Instead of being afraid, she excitedly clenched her small fists.

"Bei Bei! This is the one! I want it for my third spirit ring!"

This Datura Snake, in terms of both attribute and age, perfectly met her expectations.

If she could absorb its spirit ring, her Blue Silver Grass Spirit would definitely reach a major new level.

"Alright!"

Bei Bei did not hesitate for a moment and instantly entered a combat state.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Possess!"

With a low shout, a blinding blue electrical light erupted from his body.

His right arm instantly dragonized, covered in a layer of blue dragon scales, and his hand turned into a sharp dragon claw.

Yellow, yellow, purple.

Three spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, circling around his body.

A Soul Elder!

Tang Ya also gave a delicate shout, releasing her Spirit.

Tough strands of Blue Silver Grass grew wildly from the ground, and two yellow hundred-year spirit rings also lit up.

"I'll go first!"

Bei Bei shouted, his first hundred-year spirit ring flashing.

"First Spirit Skill, Thunderous Dragon Claw!"

He charged out like a cannonball, his electricity-covered dragon claw aiming straight for the Datura Snake's seven-inch mark.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound echoed.

The Thunderous Dragon Claw struck the snake's body solidly, sparks flying everywhere.

But the Datura Snake only shook its head; not even a single scale fell off its body.

Such tough skin!

The Datura Snake was enraged, its massive tail whipping through the air like a steel lash, sweeping fiercely toward Bei Bei.

Bei Bei was prepared; with a tap of his toes, he leaped back lightly, dodging the lethal strike.

Seeing Bei Bei and the Datura Snake going back and forth with no winner in sight, Su Chen, trailing at the end of the group, grew a bit impatient.

He let out a yawn and slowly walked up.

"Your cooperation is too sluggish; I'll do it."

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but the matter-of-fact tone in it left everyone present stunned.

Huo Yuhao was using his Spiritual Detection to lock onto the Datura Snake's weaknesses; hearing this, he almost caused his spiritual power to go haywire.

He looked at Su Chen with a face full of bewilderment.

Big brother, that's a fifteen-hundred-year Spirit Beast; you make it sound as simple as eating or drinking?

Bei Bei, however, reacted quickly; seeing Su Chen's lazy yet confident manner, the corners of his mouth curled into an understanding smile.

"Alright, then it's up to you."

Saying this, he was not at all hesitant, pulling the still-unresponsive Tang Ya back with him, vacating the battlefield entirely.

Tang Ya whispered, "Bei Bei, can he do it?"

Bei Bei smiled, "Just watch."

The Datura Snake saw its enemy change and fixed its snake pupils on Su Chen, its massive tongue flickering in and out, clearly treating Su Chen as its new prey.

Su Chen rolled his wrists, not taking the other party's threat seriously at all.

The next second, he moved.

No, it should be said that the aura on his body moved.

Buzz—

A soft sound echoed.

The first spirit ring rose from beneath his feet.

Yellow.

A hundred-year spirit ring.

Before Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao could even process it, the second spirit ring immediately lit up.

Purple!

A thousand-year spirit ring!

Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly bulged wide.

The second ring is already a thousand-year one? This is unscientific!
