Chapter 54 Sir, times have changed!
As time goes by, the mist in the air gradually dissipates, and the rich plant fragrance makes the whole body comfortable.
In his conversations with Beibei and Tang Ya, Xu Zihuang always intentionally or unintentionally mentioned some information about his own identity.
"I didn't expect you to come from Dragon City in the northern border of the Tianhun Empire. I remember that it is very close to the Far North and has been covered in ice and snow for many years. No wonder your skin is so good." Tang Ya looked at Xu Zihuang's face with some envy. .
When Beibei heard the words "Dragon City", she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked thoughtful.
His ancestral line comes from the master Yu Xiaogang who lived thousands of years ago, and is actually a descendant of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family. When he was young, he heard his ancestor Xuan mention that there had always been a pure lineage of blue electric Tyrannosaurus rex in a sect called Tianlong Sect in the Northern Dragon City of the Tianhun Empire.
In addition, he had faintly felt the familiar aura from Xu Zihuang's body before.
Associating the two, he had some guesses in his mind.
"Brother Yu, I have heard about Dragon City. I remember that there seems to be a powerful soul master sect called Tianlongmen in Dragon City."
Xu Zihuang met Beibei's gaze directly, with mixed emotions of resentment and pain emerging in his calm deep purple eyes.
"Sorry, Senior Brother Bei, I don't really want to mention this sect."
Of course he acted deliberately. He has the golden eyes of the spiritual martial soul, and he has a strong ability to control his own emotions. The expression he just showed was just right, almost perfect.
Because the identity he was planning to forge was that of the eldest son of the Tianlong Sect’s sect leader and the illegitimate son of his uncle.
An illegitimate son with outstanding talent, but his martial soul mutated, and was destined to be unable to inherit the position of the leader of the Tianlong Sect. Carrying resentment towards his 'father', he came to Shrek Academy to study alone.
This was also the character design he had decided upon after discussing with Wang Yao and Yaoyang.
Beibei patted Xu Zihuang's shoulder apologetically.
"Sorry, I'm too talkative."
The wariness in his heart towards Xu Zihuang suddenly disappeared, and at the same time he felt a little closer to her. It was really hard for him to imagine that Xu Zihuang's complex expression just now could be rehearsed out of thin air.
Even if this younger brother Yu is not from Tianlongmen, the relationship between the two is probably not shallow.
And in his opinion, Xu Zihuang didn't seem to need to lie to him. After all, as long as he entered Shrek Academy normally, he would bring a letter of recommendation personally from the lord of the city where the student was located. The recommendation letter will also include the student’s origin.
None of these can be faked. Because once you officially become a student of Shrek Academy, the academy will send people to verify it, in order to prevent people from the Sun and Moon Empire from sneaking in and stealing some secrets about Shrek Academy's martial arts training. If it is inconsistent with the information on the recommendation letter, the main city lord who wrote the recommendation letter will be permanently deprived of the qualification to recommend.
Speaking of which, people like Huo Yuhao who entered Shrek Academy by relying on the Tang Sect's quota are the so-called connections.
Not only is there no requirement for cultivation, but even one’s origin can be forged. In the original work, Huo Yuhao concealed the information that he was born in the White Tiger Duke's Palace.
When Tang Ya on the side saw Xu Zihuang's sad look, her innate maternal brilliance as a woman instantly came to light. In addition to feeling distressed, she also felt a sense of empathy.
When her parents obtained the soul rings, they were killed by the soul beasts, and the Tang Sect's foundation was taken away by outsiders. She was also so helpless that she came to Shrek Academy to study alone.
If it weren't for the fact that Xu Zihuang, who was basically the same height as Beibei, didn't look like he was only eleven years old, she would have wanted to go forward and hug him to comfort him.
"Everything will be fine. We will take you to Shrek Academy in person later, and senior sister will protect you from now on." Tang Ya playfully gestured to Xu Zihuang with her clenched pink fists.
Xu Zihuang forced a smile.
"Then thank you, senior sister."
Although there was no fluctuation in his heart, on the surface he pretended to be very moved but lacked some interest.
With such an episode, Beibei and Tang Ya knowingly went to disturb Xu Zihuang again, and then quietly gathered around Huo Yuhao to guard against the attack of the spirit beast.
Huo Yuhao, who was fusing his soul ring at this time, seemed to have entered a critical moment. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and bright red blood continued to overflow from his mouth and nose.
With only one level of innate soul power, he was indeed lacking in physical talent. Not only are his meridians very narrow, they are also very thin in some places, and there are even signs of disorder in some places where multiple meridians converge.
This caused the scene in front of him to appear when the meridians in his body were strongly impacted by the power of the soul ring.
Affected by this breath, Tianmeng Iceworm was awakened in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.
"Hey, this human being is actually a martial soul with spiritual attributes."
"But the talent is really poor. Hey, luckily I met Zihuang before. If I had followed this kid, I would have been doomed long ago." With such a thankful thought, Tianmeng Bingsi fell into a deep sleep again.
Beibei and Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with concern. They both knew that absorbing a soul ring could only rely on one's own willpower to withstand the impact of the soul ring's energy.
Beibei has a calm personality. When he helped Huo Yuhao detoxify yesterday, he discovered that his physical talent was even worse than that of an ordinary person who was born without soul power. But he was not disappointed with Huo Yuhao.
It was precisely because of this that he clearly realized how difficult it was for Huo Yuhao to reach this level. With such a perseverance, even if one's own talents are inferior, he may not be unable to achieve success in the future.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang was also silently sizing up Huo Yuhao. To be honest, without Tianmeng Iceworm, even if Huo Yuhao could cultivate to a titled Douluo level, it would not be able to pose a threat to him.
However, the hatred in Huo Yuhao's heart for the White Tiger Duke might be used.
He wants to seize the throne and unify the continent, but the White Tiger Duke is a major obstacle.
Generally speaking, for a tenth-level soul warrior, most of the time it takes to absorb the first hundred-year soul ring will not exceed an hour. But Huo Yuhao still couldn't complete the fusion after two hours. Fortunately, his internal condition has stabilized now.
Xu Zihuang, whose mood had returned to normal, knowingly asked in a low voice to Tang Ya who was not far away: "Sister Tang, is he also a student of Shrek Academy? His soul power does not seem to meet the admission requirements of the academy."
"You're talking about Xiao Yuhao, his name is Huo Yuhao. Our Tang Sect has a quota every year to enter Shrek Academy without taking the exam, and this year the quota is just for him." Tang Ya heard this and leaned towards Xu Zihuang with a smile. The faint fragrance is clearly audible.
"How about it, are you interested in joining our Tang Sect? As a member of the Tianhun Empire, you should be very aware of our Tang Sect's long history."
"I'm sorry, Sister Tang, I haven't considered joining the sect yet." Xu Zihuang shook his head without looking away, his dark purple eyes looking very clear.
Beibei, who had been looking at Xu Zihuang and Tang Ya from the corner of his eye, couldn't help but nodded slightly when he saw this scene.
This young man is indeed a good person.
"Xiaoya, since little brother Yu has said so, let's let this matter go."
"I didn't have much hope at first. The Tang Sect is no longer what it is now." Tang Ya spat out her sweet tongue, and a trace of depression flashed uncontrollably in her beautiful eyes.
How could the two of them know Xu Zihuang's deep-seated disdain for the Tang Sect.
Sir, times have changed!
