Chapter 144 The Body Sect "Arrives as Promised"
There are several sofas in the rest area on the left side of the first floor of the Star Emperor Hotel.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao and Xu Wei sat side by side, looking cautious, like scapegoats cornered by bad students after school.
On the opposite side of them were the "Big Head" and "Thick Arms" duo.
These two middle-aged men, who didn't look like good people, were surprisingly mild-mannered when facing Huo Yuhao.
After a brief introduction, Huo Yuhao and Xu Wei both learned that they were powerful figures from the Body Sect.
Lang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled, "Your eye martial soul is a body martial soul. All body martial souls in the world are one family. We came here this time to bring you back to the sect."
Under Ren Jun's tutelage, they gained some understanding of the various forces on the continent, and naturally knew about the Body Sect, a sect that was both righteous and evil.
But no matter what, when it comes to the Body Sect, one evaluation is unavoidable: "powerful".
Huo Yuhao had received great kindness from the Kong family, and given his personality, he would naturally not agree to join the Body Sect.
However, at this moment, the situation is beyond their control. Facing two powerful individuals whom they are no match for, simply refusing might not be the best option.
Moreover, they have already sent out a distress signal through their soul tools, so Kong Xuan will likely appear soon with the academy's experts.
So what they need to do now is stall for time!
Summoning his courage, Xu Wei asked with a curious look on his face, "We've heard of the Body Sect, one of the three major powers on the Douluo Continent. We've heard that they have more Title Douluo-level experts than Shrek Academy. Is that really true, uncles?"
Lang Ya and Yu Tao were initially somewhat displeased by Xu Wei's sudden interruption.
But seeing the curiosity and longing in his eyes, the two of them instantly relaxed their furrowed brows and found him much more pleasing to the eye.
Yu Tao raised his head and said, "Of course, everyone says Shrek Academy is the number one power on the continent, but that's because our Body Sect lives in seclusion..."
In Yu Tao's words, the Body Sect had become a powerful sect that didn't care about fame or fortune.
Phrases like "many geniuses" and "possessing numerous secret techniques" kept popping up.
Xu Wei and Huo Yuhao were stunned, unsure whether what he said was true or false, but it seemed more likely that he was exaggerating.
Because Lang Ya, the big-headed guy next to him, looked a little off, and Huo Yuhao caught the fleeting embarrassment in his eyes.
"Cough cough!"
Langya coughed and then kicked his younger brother next to him, which finally made Yutao stop.
Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly drifted to the side, where a figure slowly walked over.
Lang Ya had watched several matches of this Soul Battle Tournament, which involved the entire continent, and was naturally familiar with Kong Xuan, the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's reserve team.
Although the opponent did not possess a true martial soul, Lang Ya had to admire the talent and strength they displayed.
At that moment, the boy walking towards him was Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan acted as if they were old friends, walked to the sofa and sat down next to Huo Yuhao.
He looked at Lang Ya and Yu Tao opposite him and smiled, "You two must be seniors from the Body Sect?"
Lang Ya and Yu Tao exchanged a glance. Compared to the slight tension between Huo Yuhao and Xu Wei, Kong Xuan seemed very relaxed.
Yu Tao asked in a deep voice, "You know us?"
Kong Xuan shook his head: "I have never seen them before, but the characteristics of the two seniors are so obvious, it is not difficult to guess?"
Lang Ya's intellect and martial spirit weren't for nothing; he figured something out and turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and Xu Wei: "Were you stalling for time just now?"
Although only Kong Xuan appeared, he gave Huo Yuhao the courage to face him directly.
So Huo Yuhao then said, "I'm sorry, seniors, I will not join the Body Sect."
"This isn't something you can decide!"
Yu Tao suddenly stood up, his right arm stretched out as if it had grown much longer out of thin air, and grabbed at Huo Yuhao.
"Clang!"
A cold glint flashed like lightning between the two. Kong Xuan remained seated on the sofa, but the tip of his Sky-Piercing Spear was precisely aimed at the "inevitable path" of Yu Tao's attack.
Yu Tao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his long-cultivated fighting instincts made him abruptly stop his movements.
He could clearly feel that the seemingly casual shot had actually blocked his attack route, and the sharp energy gathered at the tip of the gun made his skin sting.
"Senior," Kong Xuan's voice was eerily calm, "Let's talk this out. It's a bit unreasonable for a Soul Douluo to attack a Great Soul Master."
Yu Tao slowly withdrew his right hand, his knuckles making a slight popping sound.
He stared intently at the boy before him, but a storm raged within him.
He had seen many geniuses in the Body Sect, but Kong Xuan was the first Soul King who could make him, a Soul Douluo, feel even a slight threat.
Lang Ya looked at Kong Xuan, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It was my younger brother who was impolite, but Huo Yuhao is a member of my Body Sect, and this matter will not change."
"You should know the strength of my Body Sect. Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can't protect the person we want!"
Lang Ya knew this wasn't the place to make a move, but to achieve his goal, he still had to use the necessary verbal threats.
"What a boastful tone!"
As the voice rang out, the teacher in charge, Ma Sheng, finally appeared.
"Huo Yuhao belongs to our academy, and even the Body Sect can't take him away!"
Ma Sheng's thick eyebrows stood on end, making his already fierce appearance even more menacing. The aura of a Title Douluo swept over the two opponents.
Lang Ya stood up, took a step forward, and the aura that suddenly burst forth from his body was enough to rival that of Ma Sheng.
Although he is only a Soul Douluo, he has already completed the second awakening of his original martial soul, and his soul power has reached level 89. Ordinary titled Douluo are really no match for him.
In his eyes, Ma Sheng, the Soul Master, was clearly just an ordinary Title Douluo.
"I think it's you who's talking big!"
"Even if the two of us can't take Huo Yuhao away today, the outcome won't change when the sect leader personally visits the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the future. You can't stop him!"
In response to Lang Ya's words, Ma Sheng merely snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Kong Xuan, who suddenly interjected.
"Seniors of the Body Sect, please don't be anxious. We do not agree to you taking Yuhao away now, but we did not say we do not agree to him joining the Body Sect."
Kong Xuan's words stunned everyone present.
Lang Ya and Ma Sheng instantly lost their competitive spirit and looked directly at Kong Xuan.
Huo Yuhao stood up and looked at Kong Xuan, saying, "Brother Xuan, if it weren't for you and Teacher, I wouldn't have become a Great Soul Master so quickly, and I wouldn't have joined the Body Sect."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's resolute gaze, Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Sit down first, what's the rush!"
