[I'm just saying, with this path, let alone Cultivating to Titled Douluo, even reaching Spirit Saint would be a struggle, right? Yu Xiaogang really has caused quite a lot of harm!]
[Tang Ya's Spirit has already been marinated in toxins until it turned into Dark Blue Silver Grass, yet she's still courting death by following Tang San's original spirit ring configuration to hunt Spirit Beasts. If you don't become an Evil Soul Master, who will?]
Tang Ya's face suddenly turned pale.
The content Ao Yao wrote in the diary book poked her sore spot once again.
She had actually discovered the peculiarity of her Spirit long ago; this kind of Spirit that could devour other life forces to strengthen itself was indeed no different from an Evil Soul Master's. It was just that she had always restrained this instinct and desire in her daily life.
And now, her cultivation was falling further and further behind. Driven by the desire to rebuild the Tang Sect's glory and avenge her parents, her willpower was also constantly weakening.
Perhaps just as Ao Yao said, before long, she would completely fall and become a true Evil Soul Master.
Standing beside Tang Ya, Bei Bei didn't notice Tang Ya's abnormality. An apologetic look appeared on his elegant face: "Sorry, Yu Hao, we're late."
"You..."
Bei Bei looked at the Wind Baboon's corpse on the ground with some uncertainty, then at Huo Yuhao, who had clearly made a Breakthrough from Spirit Scholar to Spirit Master, a look of regret in his expression.
A Spirit Master's first spirit ring is particularly important. For a Spirit Master with a ten-year spirit ring, their future can be said to be half-severed.
If only they could have arrived a bit earlier.
"It's okay, Brother Bei Bei."
Huo Yuhao responded, but his gaze unconsciously drifted toward Ao Yao, who was some distance away from the others.
Among everyone present, only Ao Yao had clearly seen the process of him and Brother Tianmeng Fusion together, and only he knew that his spirit ring wasn't from a so-called Wind Baboon.
No matter how inexperienced he was, he knew that the current Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was his greatest trump card. But now, Brother Tianmeng's existence was known by someone else...
This made Huo Yuhao feel very uneasy.
[Huo Yuhao has already obtained a million-year spirit ring. Next should be entering Shrek Academy and living in the same dormitory as Wang Donger, then heading to the Extreme North Land to find the Ice Empress, obtaining his second spirit, and officially starting his cheat-like journey.]
[However... now that Electrolux has been snatched by me, I don't know what will happen to Huo Yuhao in the end... but that's not for me to consider. The most important point is that this guy is the key to all of Tang San's schemes; Tang San will definitely pay extra attention to him.]
[Even if I can obscure the heavenly secrets to prevent Tang San from noticing me, I should still try to have as little contact with Huo Yuhao as possible. Yes, exactly. So... while I can, I'm slipping away!]
Writing up to here, Ao Yao turned his head to look at the slightly frowning Ning Tian and Wu Feng, or more accurately, he looked at Ning Tian alone:
"Shall we go?"
Ning Tian had the same intention, so she naturally agreed readily.
But noticing the actions of Ao Yao's group, Tang Ya's expression changed slightly.
Her name had indeed appeared many times in the diary book just now, but she hadn't calculated it carefully and wasn't sure if she was the one who appeared the most.
This meant she might not necessarily obtain the reward given by the diary book.
Having finally met Ao Yao, Tang Ya naturally wanted to build up more of a presence.
In a flash, Tang Ya coughed twice and spoke up loudly:
"The three of you should also be going to Shrek Academy to register, right? Why don't we travel together?"
But to Tang Ya's surprise, upon hearing her voice, Ao Yao didn't stop but instead quickened his pace.
[Holy crap, what is Tang Ya trying to do? She's not planning to pull us into the Tang Sect, is she?]
[To be honest, with Tang Ya's personality, she might actually do such a thing. But the problem is, your Tang Sect has nothing; it's just you as a lone leader, or at most plus Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao...]
[What? You say joining the Tang Sect allows one to learn Tang Sect ultimate techniques?]
[Please! Setting aside whether those Tang Sect ultimate techniques are watered-down versions by Tang San, even if they were the full versions, I wouldn't deign to learn them, okay? Isn't my Profound Scripture of the Great Mystery much stronger than that Mysterious Heaven Skill?]
[Taking ten thousand steps back, the Tang Sect isn't even worth a single strand of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, okay?]
Seeing the last sentence, the corners of Ning Tian's mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, and her steps became much lighter.
Behind them, Tang Ya's face stiffened slightly; she was a bit angry at Ao Yao's sarcasm, yet also felt somewhat helpless.
After all, what this guy said was the truth.
The current Tang Sect indeed only had her, Bei Bei, and Huo Yuhao left.
This guy...
Bei Bei's brow furrowed slightly, his expression looking a bit displeased.
Xiao Ya had already shown her goodwill; even if it was a bit abrupt, she shouldn't be treated like this, right?
These three have no manners at all, not even saying a word, as if they're avoiding the plague!
"Xiao Ya, don't worry about those three. Let's head back as soon as possible."
Bei Bei comforted Xiao Ya, but seeing her looking a bit despondent, he couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to pat her shoulder, he noticed Tang Ya inconspicuously taking a step back.
A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Bei Bei's face.
"Xiao Ya, what's wrong?"
Realizing her behavior was a bit abnormal, Tang Ya took a deep breath and barely squeezed out a smile: "It's nothing, I just felt a bit regretful seeing Yu Hao only absorb a ten-year spirit ring."
With that, Tang Ya walked to the side with Qin Qin, leaving Bei Bei looking bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.
Even Qin Qin felt it was a bit strange.
When they first arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, she had seen plenty of public displays of affection between Bei Bei and Tang Ya. Although their actions weren't overly intimate, the "stink" of being head over heels in love was quite obvious.
But now...
It felt as if a layer of estrangement had suddenly appeared between the two of them.
Clearly, nothing had happened just now, right?
Qin Qin was puzzled, but her eyes unconsciously fell upon Bei Bei, her expression filled with envy.
Bei Bei was young, tall, handsome, and powerful—the dream man of many girls in the Outer Court. Although she was happy for Tang Ya for finding such a perfect boyfriend, it was impossible to say she wasn't envious or jealous.
She even thought to herself how nice it would be if Bei Bei were her boyfriend.
Qin Qin, oh Qin Qin, what on earth are you thinking?
This is your friend's boyfriend!
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Qin Qin hurriedly patted her slightly reddened cheeks and pretended nothing was wrong as she took Tang Ya's arm.
