However, the results of the investigation were beyond his expectations, or rather, a pleasant surprise. This little girl's Martial Soul was actually a Heart.
A Heart Martial Soul, in some ways, wasn't weaker than Huo Yuhao's eyes. After all, people wouldn't die if they lost their eyes, but the heart absolutely couldn't have any problems.
The heart, the brain, and the self could be considered the three most important types of Body Martial Souls. Soul Masters with this type of Martial Soul, after a second awakening, were definitely candidates for Sect Master!
"Come on, little sister, put your hand on this, and we'll test your Innate Soul Power," Huo Yuhao said with a gentle smile to the little girl, holding out the crystal ball in front of her.
Seeing this, the Golden-Skirt Woman and Tang Ya understood something. Huo Yuhao had confirmed that the little girl had a Martial Soul, so the two women also guessed something. After all, Body Martial Souls were also well-known on the continent, entirely because Body Martial Souls could undergo a second awakening and be improved later.
The little girl had been desperate, but Huo Yuhao's encouraging gaze gave her some confidence. So, she raised her right hand and gently pressed it onto the crystal ball.
Just as the little girl's hand touched the crystal ball, under the gaze of Huo Yuhao and the two women, white light appeared between the crystal ball, and it became brighter and brighter.
She really has Soul Power? And it's, Innate Level 5?
Tang Ya and the Golden-Skirt Woman looked on, amazed. Innate Level 5 Soul Power might not be much in the eyes of some prodigies, but appearing in this remote village was as rare as smoke rising from a family grave.
Just as everyone was lamenting the near-waste of a little genius, a figure of dark green silently appeared in the courtyard. The person was Du Busi. The little girl was facing away from Du Busi, and she was still an ordinary person, so she couldn't perceive him.
But Tang Ya and the Golden-Skirt Woman immediately became alert. They couldn't discern the person's cultivation level, which meant they were at least much stronger than them.
Huo Yuhao also saw this and sighed inwardly. The little girl had awakened her Body Martial Soul, and her master had encountered her. Whether she stayed or left was no longer up to the little girl. The Body Sect was quite overbearing.
Anyone with a Body Martial Soul is considered a disciple of the Body Sect – this very sentence came from the Body Sect itself. Frankly, it's overbearing and a bit annoying; they don't even ask if the person wants to join.
Huo Yuhao saw his master looking at him and shook his head slightly, signaling the old man to not be hasty. Then, Huo Yuhao looked at the little girl and asked gently, "Little one, what's your name? Can you tell big brother?"
The little girl didn't hesitate much. "Su Shan'er. My name is Su Shan'er, but my sister usually calls me Xiao Shan."
Uh, isn't Shan'er okay? Why Xiao Shan? Huo Yuhao was speechless.
"Big brother, I have a Martial Soul, right?" The little girl looked at Huo Yuhao anxiously, her eyes filled with hope.
Huo Yuhao smiled and stroked the little girl's hair. "Of course, Shan'er not only has a Martial Soul but also a very powerful one. Shan'er's Martial Soul is the Heart. Your Heart is your Martial Soul."
Upon hearing this, Du Busi's eyes brightened. He only knew that Su Shan'er possessed a Body Martial Soul, but he hadn't anticipated such a pleasant surprise. What a promising seedling.
Tang Ya and the Golden-Skirt Woman were also quite astonished. A Body Martial Soul, of all things.
"So, that means I can cultivate and become a Soul Master?" Although she was asking, Su Shan'er already knew the answer, and a long-absent smile appeared on her face.
Sister, did you see? I have a Martial Soul, and Soul Power. I can become a Soul Master. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you.
"Of course, Shan'er will become a Soul Master in the future, a very powerful Soul Master, oh." This was Huo Yuhao's confirmation, the young Sect Master of the Body Sect.
"Thank you, big brother." Su Shan'er, filled with gratitude, knelt down.
Huo Yuhao quickly grabbed her, preventing her from kneeling. This girl has probably been through too much today. "Alright, Shan'er, no need for that."
After a pause, Huo Yuhao asked, "Shan'er, you have good talent. Would you like to join the sect I belong to?" After saying this, Huo Yuhao looked at Su Shan'er seriously. Although the outcome would be the same, he still hoped that Su Shan'er would join the Body Sect of her own volition.
Tang Ya watched Huo Yuhao curiously. She remembered inviting Huo Yuhao before. At that time, Huo Yuhao had declined, citing his preference for freedom, and even said he would consider the Tang Sect first if he ever joined a sect. Now it seemed he was just lying. Huo Yuhao clearly thought their Tang Sect was in decline. Humph!
Tang Ya turned her head in anger, feeling a little unhappy!
"Big brother, what's the name of the sect you mentioned? Can they teach me how to cultivate after I join?" Su Shan'er asked, looking a bit silly.
Tang Ya's ears twitched; she also wanted to know which power Huo Yuhao had joined.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. He hadn't expected the little girl's request to be so simple. It wasn't even a request, it was the most basic thing. However, right now, the important thing was to, ahem, to recruit Su Shan'er into the sect.
"Shan'er, our sect is called the Ben Ti Sect. It's incredibly, incredibly powerful. And, our Ben Ti Sect members' Martial Souls are all body-type Martial Souls, similar to yours. You'll be able to learn a lot once you join."
Su Shan'er didn't know the concept of the Ben Ti Sect, but both Tang Ya and the Golden-Skirt Woman were somewhat shocked. The Ben Ti Sect! One of the three great powers on the continent! The sect was filled with strong individuals, including Title Douluos. It was indeed, as Huo Yuhao had said, incredibly, incredibly powerful.
After being shocked, Tang Ya thought it was reasonable. After all, she knew Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul, and the Ben Ti Sect was considered the best place for him.
The Golden-Skirt Woman glanced at Du Busi. She was deep in thought. This old man seemed to be here for Su Shan'er, and he seemed to know Huo Yuhao. Therefore, he was also a strong individual from the Ben Ti Sect.
"Big brother, I'm willing to join the Ben Ti Sect."
Su Shan'er, seeing Huo Yuhao's serious expression, believed him. The Body Sect must be very powerful. Moreover, listening to Huo Yuhao, it seemed that everyone there had Martial Souls similar to hers, making it very suitable for her.
Her sister had once said that after a Martial Soul awakened, it was best to attend a Spirit Master Academy. After graduating, there would be opportunities to join powerful sects, which could provide cultivation resources.
However, attending a Spirit Master Academy cost money, and she had none. In this situation, the option Huo Yuhao presented was one she couldn't refuse.
Huo Yuhao once again revealed a gentle smile, patting Su Shan'er's small head. He had to admit, being young was easy to deceive, no, wait, it should be that children from poor families matured early, meaning she was very independent.
Du Busi walked over, a smile brimming on his face. He gave his disciple a big thumbs up in his heart. If possible, he also didn't want to force anyone.
"Come, Shan'er, let me introduce you. This is the Sect Master of our Body Sect, also my master." Seeing Du Busi arrive, Huo Yuhao introduced him to Su Shan'er. He believed his master would be very interested in Su Shan'er's Martial Soul.
"Greetings, Sect Master." Su Shan'er was startled, not expecting to meet the Sect Master so soon. She immediately prepared to kneel.
Her sister had once said that one should kneel when seeing a Spirit Master, or else they would be in trouble if the Spirit Master was displeased. Moreover, the old man before her should have a much higher status than ordinary Spirit Masters.
However, Su Shan'er found that she couldn't kneel; an invisible force was holding her up.
Su Shan'er looked at Huo Yuhao, puzzled.
Huo Yuhao explained with a smile, "Alright, no need to be so reserved. The Sect Master is very easygoing; don't be afraid."
Tang Ya and the Golden-Skirt Woman's mouths twitched fiercely. The Body Sect's Sect Master easygoing? Don't lie to me! Don't you know what kind of reputation your Body Sect has outside? Let alone the Body Sect's Sect Master.
