"Teacher Ya, Senior Grandmaster!" The thin boy walked up to Tang Ya, happily calling out to the two of them.
"Yu Hao, why are you so slow?" Tang Ya patted the boy's shoulder, asking with a puzzled expression.
"Because it was Teacher Zhou's class," the thin boy replied, scratching his head awkwardly, "so we just finished class."
"Yu Hao's class homeroom teacher is Teacher Zhou Yi," Bei Bei explained to Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan.
"What? It's Zhou Yi!" Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan exclaimed in surprise, a hint of sympathy appearing in their eyes. As the most overbearing teacher in the Outer Courtyard, how could Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan not be aware of the weight of the name Zhou Yi? It was practically a household name, at its peak!
"Alright, since it was Zhou Yi's class, I won't blame you. Come, let me introduce you to my good friends," Tang Ya no longer dwelled on the reason for the boy's tardiness. She pulled him over directly, saying with a wide smile, "Wang Dong, you come too."
"Mm-hmm!" The arrogant boy was not arrogant at all at this moment. He nodded obediently and followed behind Yu Hao.
Yu Hao immediately noticed Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan, as they were the only two people there he hadn't met. He had already met Xu Sanshi and Xue Weiwei, who were both classmates and friends of Teacher Ya and Senior Grandmaster Bei Bei. But these two young man and young woman, who looked about the same age as Teacher Ya, he was seeing for the first time. Were they also Shrek Academy students?
Why is that black-haired older brother looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me? However, his aura is really comfortable, more comfortable than Senior Grandmaster and Wang Dong combined. That older sister's hair is actually silver, and her eyes are red, which is truly surprising. But she's really beautiful, even better looking than Teacher Ya and Senior Sister Weiwei! Also, why are their school uniforms red?
This was Yu Hao's first impression of Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan.
"Zhu Ziyang, Nannan, this is the third member of our Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao!" Tang Ya happily introduced the thin boy to Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan, with a hint of pride in her tone. "Yu Hao, these two are my good friends and my partners who won the freshman assessment championship. Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan, they are both Inner Courtyard students!"
"Senior, Senior Sister, hello!" Huo Yuhao's heart tightened. Having lived in Shrek Academy for almost two months, how could he not know about Inner Courtyard Disciples? So he was both surprised and curious as he greeted Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan.
"Hello, junior," Jiang Nannan replied with a smile. She had a good impression of Huo Yuhao, perhaps because of Tang Ya, or perhaps because he was from a commoner background.
"Hello!" Zhu Ziyang said in a calm tone, but the light in his eyes betrayed his curiosity about Huo Yuhao. Everyone only thought that this was Zhu Ziyang's good first impression of Huo Yuhao, unaware that Zhu Ziyang's heart was already in turmoil.
He appeared, he appeared, Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of 'Peerless Tang Sect'!
In a sense, Zhu Ziyang had already met Huo Yuhao, as several memories related to Huo Yuhao still existed in his mind. In a sense, Huo Yuhao was the Child of Destiny that Electrolux had mentioned!
Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of the book 'Peerless Tang Sect', a new member of the Tang Sect, several vague fragments—these elements combined quickly formed a very reasonable inference in Zhu Ziyang's mind. Perhaps the Great Era that Mu En had always anticipated, which is the main content of the book 'Peerless Tang Sect', was actually the story of Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, leading the declining Tang Sect to rise again.
Is this Huo Yuhao? Zhu Ziyang's gaze kept sizing up the thin boy in front of him, making him a little uneasy, and he instinctively hid behind Tang Ya.
"Hey! Zhu Ziyang, what are you doing?" Tang Ya said, a little displeased, "You're scaring our Yu Hao!"
"Uh! Sorry, I'm just very curious about this junior student Huo's Spirit," Zhu Ziyang retracted his gaze and said with a smile.
"Hmph, you'd never guess!" Hearing Zhu Ziyang say this, Tang Ya showed a smug smile and said, "Yu Hao, tell him, what is your Spirit?"
"Oh, oh!" Huo Yuhao responded repeatedly and immediately said, "Senior, my Spirit is eyes; I call it the Spiritual Eye!"
"Eye Spirit!" Zhu Ziyang seemed very surprised, but not that surprised, having already gotten the answer in his heart. He said, "It's actually a Body Spirit. Xiao Ya, your Tang Sect has really found a treasure this time!"
"Oh? Zhu Ziyang, do you really think so?" Tang Ya was very surprised, not expecting Zhu Ziyang to think so highly of Huo Yuhao. One should know that even Bei Bei didn't think much of Huo Yuhao.
"Of course it's true," Zhu Ziyang nodded with a smile and said. Nonsense, of course he was telling the truth. Although he wasn't clear about Huo Yuhao's specific future experiences, it wasn't difficult to deduce. A Body Spirit of eyes, this was a natural direction for progress. Zhu Ziyang could assert that Huo Yuhao would definitely experience a second awakening of his Body Spirit in the future!
"Since you think so highly of Yu Hao, then it should be fine to help Yu Hao plan his growth path, right? Hehehe!" Tang Ya took advantage of the situation and immediately said with a playful smile, "Even if it means I and the Tang Sect owe you a favor."
"Uh~" Zhu Ziyang was stunned, then smiled helplessly, "You're not being polite at all!"
"That's right!" Tang Ya was not at all reserved. She immediately pushed Huo Yuhao and said, "Yu Hao, quickly thank Senior Ziyang!"
"Thank you, Senior Ziyang!" Huo Yuhao was very obedient and immediately bowed respectfully, saying so.
"Alright!" Zhu Ziyang reluctantly agreed, not knowing if his interference would change Huo Yuhao's growth path.
"Senior Sister Ya, why aren't you introducing me? I've been standing here for quite a while!" the arrogant boy next to Huo Yuhao said, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing across his face.
"Oh, oh! I almost forgot about you!" Tang Ya finally remembered him and immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Ziyang, Nannan, this is Wang Dong, Yu Hao's roommate."
"Seniors, hello," Wang Dong's eyes were blue, and he curiously sized up Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan.
"Hello!" The two replied politely.
"Since everyone has arrived, let's go," Bei Bei said.
Afterward, the group headed towards Shrek City and soon arrived at Tianying Pavilion. After entering the private room, everyone took their seats. The waiter quickly served all the dishes, and everyone chatted and laughed while eating.
"Yu Hao, I can call you that, right?" Zhu Ziyang said to Huo Yuhao, who was sitting to his left.
Their seats were arranged by Tang Ya. Tang Ya specifically placed Huo Yuhao to Zhu Ziyang's left, her intention obvious: she wanted Zhu Ziyang to guide Huo Yuhao. It could be said that, in Tang Ya's eyes now, Zhu Ziyang was even more capable than the academy's teachers, and having him guide Huo Yuhao on his cultivation path would definitely benefit Huo Yuhao greatly.
And Zhu Ziyang was also very interested in Huo Yuhao, this Child of Destiny, so he naturally didn't mind Tang Ya's little scheme and began to communicate with Huo Yuhao in a very friendly manner.
"Of course!" Huo Yuhao's attitude was very respectful, because he knew that Inner Courtyard Disciples were all geniuses with both strength and talent. Although Senior Student Zhu Ziyang was about the same age as Teacher Ya, his strength was definitely very powerful. As a small Spirit Master himself, he absolutely could not lack the respect he should show.
"Hahaha, no need to be so nervous, just be casual, like your roommate," Zhu Ziyang looked at the slightly apprehensive Huo Yuhao, patted his shoulder encouragingly, and said jokingly.
Wang Dong, who had been called out by Zhu Ziyang, subconsciously looked over. Seeing that Zhu Ziyang and Huo Yuhao weren't looking at him, he turned his gaze away again, but his slightly moving ears revealed that he was actually very interested in this side.
"Mm!" Huo Yuhao nodded, his nervous emotions slowly dissipating. He only felt that Senior Ziyang's smile was very gentle, like a breeze in spring. Being with him didn't make him feel annoyed or nervous at all. His constantly tense mind relaxed a lot unconsciously.
"Your Spirit is eyes. If there are no surprises, this should be a mental force type Spirit, right?" Zhu Ziyang said.
"That's right," Huo Yuhao nodded and said.
"Actually, from the perspective of a Body Spirit, your Spirit should also include the brain!" Zhu Ziyang said, deep in thought, "Eyes as the primary, brain as the secondary, only then can it form a mental force type Spirit."
"Is that so?" This was the first time Huo Yuhao had heard someone say that his Spiritual Eye Spirit included the brain, and he immediately found it very novel.
"Hehe, surprised? It doesn't matter. It's best for your Spiritual Eye Spirit to absorb mental force spirit rings. If possible, it's best to absorb more mental force Spirit Beasts with special eyes, such as the Evil Eye Tyrant."
"Ah? Why?" Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled.
"Because only then can you strengthen your eyes!" Zhu Ziyang patiently explained, "Your Spirit is eyes. Simply increasing mental force is not advisable. So, absorbing these Spirit Beast spirit rings, while enhancing your mental force cultivation, can also strengthen the Spirit's origin, which is the eyes. This way, it's possible to promote a second awakening of your Spiritual Eye."
"Second awakening?" At this, not only Huo Yuhao was confused, but Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Wang Dong, and others also looked over, all showing expressions of bewilderment.
