Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 12 Invitation

After Bei Bei and Tang Ya explained, Huo Yuhao finally understood why he was there. Hearing Tang Ya's somewhat annoyed scolding, he scratched his head awkwardly and replied:

"Thank you all, but I'm fine. I just fainted from exhaustion after absorbing the spirit ring."

"Hmph, with your cultivation level not even reaching the first level of Soul Master, you actually dared to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings alone? Do you think you're some kind of monster like Xiao Chen? You're just lucky that you only encountered a ten-year Wind Baboon; otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to take several lives!"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Tang Ya snorted coldly, her temper flaring instantly, and she launched into a tirade against him.

Hearing Tang Ya's words, Huo Yuhao looked helpless. He hadn't told the others about acquiring a spirit ring before, but now he was being saved by her, leaving him speechless.

But the next moment, Huo Yuhao looked at Luo Chen sitting to the side with a surprised expression and asked incredulously:

"Brother Luo, did you also hunt down your first spirit ring all by yourself? That's incredible!"

It's no wonder Huo Yuhao was so surprised. After all, he was almost killed when he fought a ten-year-old wind baboon before, and that was just a ten-year-old soul beast.

However, Huo Yuhao had seen the spirit rings of the white-haired boy in front of him who was about the same age as him. His first spirit ring was at the hundred-year level. According to what Tang Ya just said, it means that Luo Chen already had the ability to hunt hundred-year spirit beasts on his own before he became a one-ring spirit master!

Thinking about how he had risked his life and made a desperate gamble to finally kill a ten-year-old phoenix baboon, while Luo Chen, who was much younger than him, was already able to hunt down hundred-year-old soul beasts on his own!

For a moment, Huo Yuhao was utterly shocked!

Seeing Huo Yuhao looking at him with a shocked expression, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

The reason he was able to hunt a hundred-year-old soul beast at such a young age was because his own martial soul was of the offensive type and also had the ability to absorb life in battle, so hunting a hundred-year-old soul beast was naturally not much of a struggle.

Moreover, he had been fighting non-stop since the moment his martial soul was awakened. The number of hundred-year-old soul beasts he had hunted was far more than just a few.

"That's right, but it's somewhat different from what the sect leader said. When I first started hunting hundred-year-old soul beasts, it was quite difficult. Back then, because I didn't know much about soul beasts, I almost died several times."

"But in the end, I hunted down and killed my first and second spirit rings all by myself. Just thinking about that makes me feel a sense of accomplishment."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's adoring expression, Luo Chen's mood improved considerably, and he smiled as he explained.

However, after hearing Luo Chen's words, Huo Yuhao first nodded, then a look of doubt appeared in his eyes:

"So that's how it is. But Brother Luo, why do you call Sister Tang Ya 'Sect Leader'? And Brother Bei Bei too..."

"Oh, this."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had realized this, Luo Chen turned his gaze to Tang Ya and Bei Bei, since such matters should be decided by Tang Ya, who was the sect leader, and he was just a protector at the moment.

However, Tang Ya and Bei Bei did not show any hesitation on their faces at this moment. After all, they had already discussed whether to recruit Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect. Huo Yuhao's question at this moment gave Tang Ya and Bei Bei an opportunity.

"Little Yuhao, before we go any further, let me ask you a question: have you ever heard of the Tang Clan?"

Tang Ya, looking like a strange aunt trying to abduct a child, asked Huo Yuhao a question.

"Tang Clan? Of course I've heard of it. My mom read me a lot of stories about the Tang Clan when I was little. The founder of the Tang Clan was none other than Tang San, one of the legendary Shrek Seven Devils. But why are you asking about this, Tang Ya?"

Huo Yuhao looked puzzled and asked Tang Ya, but in the next moment, a very bold guess popped into his mind:

"Tang San and Tang Ya both have the surname Tang, could it be...?"

Just as Huo Yuhao voiced his guess, Tang Ya nodded with a mischievous grin and said:

"Hehehe, congratulations on guessing correctly, Xiao Yuhao! The current leader of the Tang Sect is none other than me, Tang Ya, who is clever, cute, quick-witted, and resourceful!"

However, as soon as he said this, Luo Chen and Bei Bei both took a step back in unison, as if to distance themselves from Tang Ya.

However, Huo Yuhao did not notice Tang Ya's childish behavior because he was still surprised by Tang Ya's words.

"Tang, Sister Tang Ya... are you really the leader of the Tang Clan?"

Even now, Huo Yuhao still finds it hard to believe. You have to understand, that's the legendary Tang Sect, the sect that's known as the number one sect on the continent, and the sect founded by Tang San, one of the legendary first generation Shrek Seven Devils who has already ascended to immortality!

Yet, he had encountered such a legendary sect, and what's more, the other party was from Shrek Academy. How could Huo Yuhao not be surprised?

"Of course, I am the current leader of the Tang Clan. However, Xiao Yuhao, I won't lie to you, the Tang Clan of today is not the same as it used to be..."

As Tang Ya spoke, she repeated the same explanation she had given Luo Chen earlier. Before Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Clan, she had to explain the current situation of the Tang Clan clearly, since the Tang Clan was now a lone boat, and even its mansion had been taken away!

"So, Xiao Yuhao, this is the current situation. The once glorious number one sect on the continent is now reduced to just me, Beibei, and Luo Chen. Even so, do you still want to join?"

After explaining the current situation of the Tang Clan to Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya's eyes were a little red, but she forced herself not to let her tears fall. Instead, she maintained a relaxed demeanor and asked Huo Yuhao a question.

Luo Chen, standing to the side, chimed in at the opportune moment:

"Yuhao, to be honest, I only joined the Tang Sect a while ago. But I can tell you very clearly that although the Tang Sect of the past is gone, its foundation remains. I believe that as long as we work together, the Tang Sect will definitely regain its former glory!"

Luo Chen wasn't just making things up. The Tang Clan still has its foundation, and none of its unique skills have been lost. Based on this alone, its revival is inevitable; it's just a matter of time.

However, what really intrigued Luo Chen was that even if the former number one sect on the continent had declined, it shouldn't have fallen to such a state. Not only was its mansion seized, but the sect was also reduced to a mere handful of people. How was this any different from the annihilation of the entire sect?
