Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 4, Section 04: That's obviously not true!

"She refused..."

Paimon's eyes widened in disbelief.

This young man, Yuhao, actually refused Zhongli's help?

This is Lord Yan!
Could these two humans be stronger than Lord Rock?

Paimon's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhongli was taken aback, nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything more.

From Huo Yuhao's perspective, Tang Ya and Bei Bei had a connection with him through grilled fish, and then they met again.

As for his meeting with Paimon, it was only a brief encounter.

Moreover, Paimon only has one "Spirit Ring," which means he is merely a Soul Master-level expert. Such a person... cannot be entrusted with physical or mental safety.

"Lingmou, eyes?"

Beibei was taken aback at first. As that person's great-grandson, he had some understanding of the original martial soul.

As if she had just thought of something, Beibei couldn't help but gasp.

The eyes are undoubtedly one of the most important parts of the human body.

The fact that the eyes are connected to the brain suggests that Huo Yuhao's martial soul is likely of the mental type, which makes it even rarer!

"Young Brother Yuhao, I now formally invite you to join our sect—the Tang Sect!"

"If you're willing, even though spirit-type soul beasts are extremely hard to find, Xiaoya and I will definitely find one for you!"

Beibei's smile faded, and she spoke with a serious expression.

The main body's martial soul is the eyes, which are mental.

Either way, it's worth investing in!

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. Tang Clan... what a familiar name!

He grew up listening to stories of the Tang Clan!
"Brother Bei, is the Tang Sect you mentioned the one founded by Tang San, our ancestor, ten thousand years ago?"

"Yes, but..."

Beibei nodded, then looked at Tang Ya, and finally said, "At present, only Xiao Ya and I are left in the Tang Clan."

"The decline of the Tang Clan is an undeniable fact. Yuhao, do you want to join the Tang Clan?"

"Of course, even if the Tang Sect declines, if you continue to act recklessly and commit numerous evils, and are forced to leave the sect, Xiaoya and I will do everything in our power to hunt you down!"

"Once a member of the Tang Clan, always a member of the Tang Clan!"

"I'll join!"

"?"

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were stunned. They hadn't held out much hope, but Huo Yuhao had actually joined!

Was it auditory hallucination, or was there another motive?
"Yuhao, joining a sect is a big deal. Don't you want to discuss it with your family?"

"I'm the only one left at home..."

"That's great!"

Huo Yuhao: "???"

Beibei: "???"

Zhongli, Paimon: "0.o"

Almost simultaneously, they all looked at Tang Ya. The atmosphere, which should have been silent, became awkward because of a single sentence.

Huo Yuhao was the only one left at home, and the girl actually said something like, "That's great..."

6 Ah!
These are words that any human being could say!
"Xiaoya, how can you talk like that?"

Beibei tapped Tang Ya on the head with her right hand, causing Tang Ya to clutch her head in a pained expression.

"They misspoke. Little Yuhao doesn't have any family anymore, but from now on we'll be family."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression softened considerably. He might have nodded in approval if it were someone else, like his father or brothers.

The mother is the only taboo that cannot be crossed. Anyone who touches her will be punished, even if it means death. He will take a piece of her flesh.

Huo Yuhao: If you touch my paradise, I will surely stab you in the back!
After Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect, his stance instantly became one with the Tang Sect, and he subconsciously stood by Bei Bei and Tang Ya's side.

The three exchanged a glance before looking at Zhongli and Paimon.

"Congratulations, young friend Yuhao, on joining the sect." Zhongli bowed slightly and offered his congratulations.

"Brother Zhongli, although the Tang Clan has declined, its foundation remains. Would you consider joining us?"

Beibei cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Zhongli, a gesture of "treating someone with courtesy."

Zhongli's "soul power cultivation" is not high, but his martial soul is unusual. Like his ancestor Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago, it is a separated beast martial soul.

This alone makes Zhongli qualified to join Shrek Academy, or even the Tang Sect as it is now.

With low cultivation level, it can serve as a mascot.

Weren't the leaders of the Tang Clan all just mascots?

Zhongli waved his hand, rejecting Beibei's offer without even thinking.

Join the Tang Clan?

Why is Beibei joking?

"Thank you for your kindness, young friend. Paimon and I are used to relying on each other and do not like joining a sect and being restricted."

Paimon: "0.o"

Wait, what do you mean by getting used to relying on Paimon for everything?
Paimon is clearly dependent on the Traveler for survival!

Zhongli, that old man, can really speak without thinking!

Paimon stroked his chin, and his gaze toward Zhongli changed slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't Zhongli just spouting off without thinking?
Deceiving travelers, deceiving the wealthy, deceiving everyone...

Although the intention was good, saying that he would never lie is the biggest lie ever.

Zhongli must have his reasons for not wanting to join the Tang Clan!
Seeing this, Bei Bei nodded. Since Zhong Li was unwilling to join the Tang Clan, he would not force him.

Joining a sect is a big deal. If someone doesn't want to join, can you force them to join?
"The three of you still need to acquire spirit rings, so Paimon and I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger, please take care!"

After a few polite exchanges, everyone parted ways.

The three of them watched Zhong Li's departing figure, feeling that something was amiss, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

The fact that Zhongli could walk with such a gentle and steady gait in the Star Dou Great Forest makes him seem nothing like a Soul Master.

On the contrary, he seems like a top-notch master!
"It must be my imagination, after all, Paimon only has one spirit ring..."

After parting ways with the three, Zhongli and Paimon did not head towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, but instead strolled around in the forest.

Some soul beasts that were ten or even a hundred years old were trembling and fleeing in panic when Zhongli merely released a wisp of his power and pressure.

"Zhongli, what exactly is going on?"

"Paimon, how did Paimon become your martial soul?"

"What is a Martial Soul?"

Once they were some distance apart, Paimon asked Zhongli.

Zhongli did not hide anything and told Paimon about the common knowledge of Douluo Continent.

After hearing these common-sense facts, Paimon became even more confused.

Zhongli didn't know why Paimon had become his "Martial Soul".

Paimon was puzzled as to why Zhongli knew so much!
Zhongli even knows information about this other world!

Good heavens, who exactly is the traveler who traverses all the heavens?

Could Ying be a fake?
"Zhongli, how do you know so much?"

"I'm a bit older, so it's reasonable that I know more."

"Is that so?"

"Is such that."

"Oh……"

That's obviously not true!

You are one of the seven rulers of the Teyvat continent, the Daedric Lord Morax. No matter how old you are, you can't possibly understand the knowledge of another world!

Fortunately, Paimon was smart enough to perfectly avoid the protection of intellect and didn't think too much about it.
