Wang Lin opened his eyes and felt the aura coming from the soul ring.
His brows furrowed slightly as he called out softly in his heart, "Attribute Panel!"
A crude blue square frame appeared on Wang Lin's retina.
[Name: Wang Lin]
[Martial Soul: Brain (Mutated)]
[Cultivation: Level 28 {56%}]
[Techniques: Advanced Meditation Method (Proficient) {79%}, Eight Vajra Body Technique (Mastered) {34%}]
[Soul Ring: Yellow (642 years), Purple (1000 years)]
His soul power had increased by a little over one level, and his mental power had improved by about ten percent.
This can't be another amplification soul skill, can it!
Recovering his senses, Wang Lin stood up.
Two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet.
Beibei's voice rang out at this moment.
"Congratulations, you actually succeeded!?"
The voice carried a hint of surprise.
Tang Ya nearby had also finished absorbing her ring successfully, but there was not much joy on her face.
The look she gave Wang Lin was inevitably a bit sour.
"Brother Lin, what soul skill did you get!?"
Huo Yuhao's curious voice rang out at this time.
"Just an amplification type soul skill, nothing very useful."
Wang Lin answered truthfully without hiding anything.
"Amplification soul skill!?"
Huo Yuhao was puzzled in his heart.
Didn't Brother Tianmeng say there wouldn't be a soul skill?
"Alright, since the soul rings have been absorbed, let's leave this place quickly. In recent years, there have been more and more accidents involving Soul Masters entering the Star Dou Forest. Since there are thousand-year soul beasts even in the outskirts, it's better to leave early."
Beibei withdrew his gaze from Wang Lin's soul ring and spoke in a deep voice.
"Mn."
Wang Lin nodded and put away the soul rings on his body.
By now, the sky had already darkened.
Camping in the Star Dou Forest was obviously not a good idea.
Ignoring their fatigue, the four of them quickly headed toward the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest.
Two hours later, after traveling at high speed, they finally left the forest and arrived at the Lima Plain outside the Star Dou Forest.
The four built a campfire on the spot and simply heated up some food.
After eating, Beibei and Tang Ya clearly hadn't forgotten the main business.
Previously, Huo Yuhao had only verbally agreed to join the Tang Sect, but the apprenticeship had not yet taken place.
"Little Yuhao, now that the soul hunt is over, the apprenticeship ceremony for you joining my Tang Sect hasn't been held yet. Our Tang Sect only has three people now, so there aren't that many rules. Just bow to me, and that will count as the apprenticeship ceremony."
Tang Ya spoke solemnly, and Beibei beside her nodded along.
Thud!
"Okay."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao knelt down in front of Tang Ya without hesitation and began to kowtow.
"Disciple Huo Yuhao pays respects to Teacher."
Tang Ya actually stood there steadily, allowing him to bow three times before helping him up.
"Very good, Yuhao. From now on, you are my second disciple. Greet your Eldest Senior Brother."
As she spoke, she pointed to Beibei beside her.
"Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother."
Huo Yuhao bowed to Beibei again.
Wang Lin watched this bizarre scene from the side, feeling like he had truly broadened his horizons.
This Tang Sect is truly ridiculous, and this Tang Ya is even more ridiculous. She is only two or three years older than Huo Yuhao, yet she actually made Huo Yuhao kowtow to become a disciple.
No wonder the Tang Sect can't recruit members at Shrek Academy. They are all children of the same age, yet Tang Ya actually has the nerve to make people kowtow. Couldn't she just accept a disciple on behalf of her father?
She really doesn't consider whether she is worthy or not!
Beibei smiled slightly, not feeling that there was any problem.
He stepped forward, reached out to support Huo Yuhao, and said, "Junior Brother, no need to be polite. We are all family from now on."
Tang Ya also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and said earnestly, "Yuhao, like Beibei, you must remember to call me Teacher Xiaoya in the future. Don't be like him, always lacking manners, understand?"
"Yes, Teacher."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Tang Ya flipped her wrist, and the storage soul tool on her body lit up.
She took out a book and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"Little Yuhao, this is a handwritten copy of our Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. It records the unique techniques of my Tang Sect. Among them, the Mysterious Heaven Technique is the foundation of everything. Meditating with it will definitely speed up your cultivation..."
Speaking of this, Tang Ya suddenly noticed Wang Lin standing to the side.
She immediately raised her head and introduced loudly, "In addition to the Mysterious Heaven Technique, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record also records five unique techniques. They are: the hand technique Mysterious Jade Hand, the eye technique Purple Demon Eye, the grappling technique Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, the movement technique Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and the method of using hidden weapons, the Hidden Weapon Hundred Solutions."
"The unique technique I mentioned before that is extremely suitable for you is the eye technique, Purple Demon Eye. Your martial soul is the eyes, so you must cultivate this technique more."
Huo Yuhao took the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record handed over by Tang Ya, hurriedly put it into his chest pocket, and said, "Thank you, Teacher. I will definitely practice diligently."
Beibei also took out a soul tool storage belt at this time and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
Tang Ya, however, approached Wang Lin at this moment and said with a smile, "How about it? In terms of cultivation methods alone, my Tang Sect is definitely not weaker than the Body Sect. Won't you join my Tang Sect!?"
Clearly, Tang Ya had not yet given up on the idea of pulling Wang Lin into the Tang Sect.
"I want to join the Body Sect."
Wang Lin said in a deep voice.
If he had somewhat considered joining the Tang Sect before, that thought vanished completely after watching Huo Yuhao kowtow to Tang Ya.
Combined, Wang Lin's two lives added up to over thirty years.
To ask him to kowtow to Tang Ya to join the Tang Sect... he didn't think Tang Ya had the face to accept that.
Moreover, what is the difference between the phrase "in terms of cultivation methods alone" and "setting facts aside"?
"However, I have a question about the Tang Sect?"
"What question!?"
Tang Ya seemed to be in a good mood.
Beside her, after Beibei handed the storage belt to Huo Yuhao, he also became interested and looked at Wang Lin.
"Beibei, you are the Eldest Senior Brother of the Tang Sect, right?"
Wang Lin shifted his gaze to Beibei and asked.
"Yes, what about it?"
Beibei nodded.
Huo Yuhao finished putting on the belt and also looked up at Wang Lin.
"So Tang Ya, is she also your teacher?"
Wang Lin continued to ask.
"Of course she is. If you have a question, ask it quickly."
Tang Ya was a bit impatient.
Wang Lin was in no hurry.
After Beibei nodded, he became energized.
"Cough cough..."
He coughed lightly twice, slowly puffed out his chest, and said loudly, "What I want to ask is, when Beibei joined the Tang Sect, did he kowtow to you?"
"Ah, no, wh..."
Before the word "why" could be spoken, Tang Ya suddenly realized something.
She turned to look at Huo Yuhao, only to find that Huo Yuhao's face had already darkened.
Huo Yuhao's life had not been good since childhood.
Later, the death of his mother forged his sensitive and inferior character.
He had just kowtowed to a girl only a few years older than him to become a disciple, and now he learned that his Eldest Senior Brother did not kowtow when he joined the Tang Sect.
Naturally, he would have emotions.
Beibei also frowned.
As a descendant of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, he naturally had his own pride.
Although he liked Tang Ya, it was impossible for him to perform the act of kowtowing to become a disciple.
"He didn't kowtow, so why did you make Yuhao kowtow?"
Wang Lin, not afraid of making the situation worse, asked again.
