Chapter 107: The Terrifying Nature of a Dog Leash

"Don't worry, you didn't say anything wrong." Du Qianjue patted Xiao Xiao's head. The little girl's hair felt surprisingly nice to touch, reminiscent of petting a cat in a past life. Xiao Xiao's cheeks turned pink, but she didn't shy away.

"In our Body Sect, we have an unwritten rule: all soul masters with body-type martial souls are considered disciples of our sect," Du Qianjue explained, drawing the attention of everyone present. After all, the Body Sect was shrouded in mystery, known only for its power and capricious nature, straddling the line between righteousness and malice.

"Ah? Doesn't that mean Huo Yuhao would have to join…" Xiao Xiao started to say, suddenly looking a bit annoyed.

"Our Body Sect isn't an unreasonable and overbearing sect. We welcome those who wish to join, but we never coerce anyone," Du Qianjue said with a slight smile.

This reassured the rest of the reserve team, especially Beibei and Xu Sanshi, who were particularly tense.

"Why does the Body Sect have such a rule?" asked Xiao Xiao, her curiosity as piquant as ever.

Huo Yuhao, also a body-type soul master, was very keen to learn more about the Body Sect and paid close attention to Xiao Xiao's question.

Du Qianjue glanced at Huo Yuhao and spread his hands. "How many body-type martial souls are there in Shrek Academy?"

"To my knowledge, including both the inner and outer courts and even counting the teachers, Huo Yuhao is the only one with a body-type martial soul," Gongyang Mo pondered for a moment, holding his thumb and forefinger together delicately.

"Indeed, we don't have any students with body-type martial souls in the inner court, and none of the teachers possess them either," Chen Zifeng added.

Those from the inner court were the first to respond, while those from the outer court, except for Beibei and Xu Sanshi, were still somewhat confused.

"Body-type soul masters are extremely rare. Not every soul master with a body-type martial soul is guaranteed to pass on their martial soul to their descendants," Du Qianjue didn't mind giving them a brief lesson about the Body Sect, considering it a bit of promotion.

After all, many bystanders had stopped to listen to their conversation, and many were incredibly curious about the sect of the competition's top contender.

"Even if two soul masters, both with body-type martial souls, marry and have children, the offspring's awakened martial souls are not necessarily body-type."

"Therefore, our Body Sect can only search across the continent for soul masters who awaken body-type martial souls and invite them to join our sect. Those who join our Body Sect become part of our family."

"That's how the unwritten rule of 'All body-type soul masters are disciples of our Body Sect' came about."

"Ah, I see," everyone nodded in realization.

Everyone then turned their gaze towards Huo Yuhao, waiting for his decision.

Beibei was particularly anxious; knowing that Huo Yuhao was now part of Tang Sect, he didn't want such a talented individual to be pulled into the Body Sect by Du Qianjue.

Even though Du Qianjue mentioned that joining was voluntary, Beibei still felt uneasy.

Wang Dong also looked worriedly at Huo Yuhao.

For some reason, a voice in his head kept telling him not to let Huo Yuhao leave Tang Sect or Shrek Academy.

Following his heart, Wang Dong stepped forward, took Huo Yuhao's hand, and smiled warmly at him.

What a move.

It seemed like nothing was said, but in reality, everything was conveyed because Wang Dong was also a member of Tang Sect.

Even Xiao Xiao had joined Tang Sect.

Sure enough, upon seeing Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao's expression solidified.

Although the Body Sect was powerful and capable of nurturing a soul sage like Du Qianjue, who dominated his generation, and had unparalleled knowledge of body-type martial souls on the continent...

Joining the Body Sect would undoubtedly allow him to develop his Spirit Eyes martial soul to an extremely high level, making revenge against the White Tiger Duke entirely feasible.

"Du Qianjue, I'm sorry, but I cannot join the Body Sect," Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong and then at Beibei, who looked worried, and smiled warmly.

"When I was most in need, Teacher Xiao Ya and Big Brother took me in and gave me the opportunity to join Shrek Academy."

"Now, my friends are all in Tang Sect, and I cannot leave this sect that has given me a second chance at life."

Du Qianjue nodded, perfectly portraying a disappointed expression, then reluctantly smiled and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I've said it before: joining the Body Sect is entirely voluntary, and we won't forcibly take you away."

"Although our Body Sect acts according to our desires, we are still very friendly towards soul masters with body-type martial souls."

"Thank you!" Huo Yuhao expressed his gratitude, relieved.

Du Qianjue waved his hand nonchalantly.

In truth, Du Qianjue was nearly bursting with laughter inside.

Good heavens, Wang Dong's influence was indeed significant.

It's undeniable that this young girl's fate was also extremely tragic, not only being a puppet but also acting solely to secure Huo Yuhao for Tang San.

In the end, she even had to end her own life and return her soul fragments to Tang Wutong.

Although this was Du Qianjue's first time witnessing Wang Dong's influence, he was deeply impressed.

He could tell that Huo Yuhao was tempted when he heard that any soul master with a body-type martial soul could join the Body Sect.

Because with Du Qianjue as a representative, it was clear how capable the Body Sect was at training soul masters and the formidable power of the sect itself.

This would be a tremendous aid in his future revenge against the White Tiger Duke.

Du Qianjue was also nervous that Huo Yuhao might really have a moment of impulsiveness and join the Body Sect on a whim.

Good heavens, if Tang San's gaze shifted from Shrek to the Body Sect, who knows when he might discover something amiss with Du Qianjue?

After all, Huo Yuhao was initially introduced by Du Qianjue and the plane's consciousness as a disaster shield. How could Du Qianjue genuinely let Huo Yuhao join the Body Sect?

But luckily, Wang Dong never disappoints!

Nothing needed to be said; just a gesture, a look, a smile.

She firmly secured Huo Yuhao.

Du Qianjue was numb; although Tang San's scheme was undeniably cunning and somewhat unscrupulous, the effect was truly effective!

Look, after Huo Yuhao spoke those words, he moved both Beibei and Wang Dong deeply, further reinforcing the chain around his neck.

Even the five from the inner court looked at Huo Yuhao with a mix of surprise and recognition.

Good! Truly worthy of being from Shrek Academy!

Du Qianjue felt that happiness was theirs alone, and he was the only clear-headed one among them.

Terrifying indeed, terrifying indeed!
