Chapter 39 The Sect Master's Personal Disciple? Huo Yuhao was extremely envious!
Amidst the wind and snow of the far north, Du Busi's figure appeared as if traversing space, instantly appearing above the ice slope where Huo Yuhao was hiding.
Although he did not release his martial soul, his physical body as a level 98 Super Douluo had already undergone a complete transformation. Even when he casually stepped into the air, his speed far exceeded that of Liu Yuan, who had activated the "Qilin Treasure Technique".
Poison Undying hovered in mid-air, looking down at the thin boy in the snow.
In his perception, the boy's mental fluctuations were unusually active, and he possessed an extremely pure aura.
"Human? And a physical martial soul at that?" Poison Immortal frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his deep green eyes.
Huo Yuhao stood frozen in place, awkwardly looking up at the old man in mid-air, not daring to move.
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the previously noisy Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the arrogant Ice Emperor fell completely silent. Faced with a top-tier human expert of this level, they chose to conceal their aura to the extreme, fearing to reveal even the slightest flaw.
"Kid, why were you hiding in the shadows and spying on us?"
Poison Undying then questioned in a deep voice, his voice amplified by his soul power, causing the surrounding snow to tremble.
Huo Yuhao swallowed hard and explained in a low voice, "Senior, I just happened to be passing by when I heard a huge commotion and I was curious to check it out."
"But I am weak and dare not get too close, so I observe from a distance."
Poison Undying remained silent, only staring at Huo Yuhao with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to determine the truth of his words.
Just then, a blue bolt of lightning flashed, and Liu Yuan finally arrived.
He landed beside Du Busi, his double pupils sweeping over the boy below. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before he called out, "Huo Yuhao? It's you!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Huo Yuhao looked at Liu Yuan with a complicated expression.
He stood up, brushed the snow off his clothes, and said bitterly, "Liu Yuan, it's been a long time."
"I saw everything you did in that fight."
"I never imagined you'd become so amazing."
Liu Yuan looked at Huo Yuhao, then at Du Busi, concealed the strange phenomenon of his double pupils, and said with a faint smile, "Good luck, and also thanks to Master's good teaching."
Then, Liu Yuan turned to Du Busi and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, this is a friend I knew before, and also the owner of the Spirit Eye, his original martial soul. He is not a bad person."
When Du Busi heard that Liu Yuan had stepped in to protect him, his originally fierce aura dissipated considerably.
He snorted coldly and landed back on the ground: "Since you are someone I know, I will not hold it against you."
Liu Yuan walked up to Huo Yuhao, looked at his slightly thin clothes and somewhat pale face, and patted him on the shoulder cheerfully: "Since we've met, it must be fate."
"Last time in the Star Dou Great Forest you treated me to grilled fish, this time I'll treat you to meat. Come on, let's have the meat of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Gorilla, most people can't get their hands on it in their lifetime."
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then obediently followed Liu Yuan back.
The three of them arrived at the huge, ten-thousand-year-old soul beast corpse.
Liu Yuan deftly cut off the fattest and most tender cut of flesh from the ice gorilla, while Du Busi casually found a sheltered spot behind a nearby ice rock.
Poison Immortal brought his two fingers together and waved them casually. Instantly, a green soul power barrier opened, shutting out all the wind, snow and cold from the outside world.
In this small space, the temperature rose rapidly, even becoming somewhat warm.
Liu Yuan lit a fire and placed the meat of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast over it to roast. As the oil dripped into the fire, it sizzled, and a rich aroma of meat filled the barrier.
"Try it." Liu Yuan handed Huo Yuhao a large piece of golden and crispy roasted meat.
Huo Yuhao took the meat, took a bite, and immediately felt a warm and powerful energy surge into his body through his throat, warming his limbs and bones.
He exclaimed sincerely, "It's really delicious, thank you."
After eating for a while, Huo Yuhao looked up at Du Busi, who was resting with his eyes closed to the side, and asked Liu Yuan in a low voice, "Liu Yuan, this senior... must be a master from the Body Sect, right? Did you really find the Body Sect?"
Liu Yuan nodded, a hint of pride in his voice: "Found him. Moreover, he's not just an expert, he's the sect leader of our Body Sect."
"The Sect Master of the Body Sect?" Huo Yuhao's hand holding the roasted meat trembled violently as he stared at Du Busi in shock.
He originally thought that Liu Yuan was just a sect elder, but he never expected that Liu Yuan would be accepted as a personal disciple by the highest authority of the Body Sect.
This treatment filled Huo Yuhao with an indescribable envy.
Thinking about his situation at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's mood immediately became depressed.
Although he gave it his all at Shrek Academy and even won the championship in the freshman assessment with Wang Dong, the academy has refused to make him a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department because he only has the label of "Level 1 Innate Soul Power". They just gave him a small reward to get rid of him.
This feeling of being ignored and unappreciated was amplified infinitely after seeing Liu Yuan's current situation.
Liu Yuan noticed the change in Huo Yuhao's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You don't look well. Did you run into some trouble at Shrek Academy?"
Huo Yuhao lowered his head, too embarrassed to speak about being disliked at the academy, and simply shook his head.
Liu Yuan was unaware of Huo Yuhao's thoughts. He continued, "The Body Sect is indeed a good place. Everyone in the sect treats me very well."
"This time, when I broke through to level 30, my master specially turned down many things and personally brought me to this far north to find the most suitable soul ring."
"Master said that the purpose of a true spirit is to develop the body to its limit, and not to follow the rigid rules of ordinary spirit masters."
Listening to Liu Yuan describe how Du Bu Si personally took charge and how the sect allocated resources to him, Huo Yuhao's envy was palpable.
What he longed for was precisely this kind of attention and "tailor-made" training.
Liu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then looked into Huo Yuhao's bright eyes and suddenly extended an invitation earnestly:
"Yuhao, I've actually been wanting to tell you this for a while. Since we all have Body Spirit Martial Souls, why don't you consider coming to our Body Sect?"
"Compared to Shrek Academy, which has a great reputation but many rules, the Body Sect is the place that is truly right for you."
"Here, no one will look down on you because of your martial soul mutation or level. The sect leader and elders will teach you how to truly tap the potential of your eye martial soul."
"Would you like to... come back to the Body Sect with me?"
Huo Yuhao tightened his grip on the roasted meat, staring at the fire in a long silence.
