Chapter 170: Snatching

Undoubtedly, joining the Body Sect can greatly accelerate Huo Yutong's cultivation speed in Spirit Eyes, which will be of great benefit to her growth.

But Huo Yutong thought for a moment and still shook her head.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of leaving Shilake at the moment; at least until I graduate, I will not join the Body Sect."

She is currently doing very well at Shilake, with a teacher like Mu En guiding her and someone she likes like Tang Wulin; she has no reason to leave Shilake.

Lang Ya gave a calm smile.

"Shilake Academy? They don't seem that great; otherwise they wouldn't let a child of your age enter the tournament. The Body Sect is the organization most familiar with the Body Martial Soul and can best guide you to become a generation's prodigy. With your talent and our instruction, within twenty years we can guarantee to shock the entire Soul Master World. Though the Body Sect rarely emerges, when it does it soars to the heavens. Your Eye Martial Soul has not yet undergone the Second Awakening, so you cannot fully appreciate the true strength of the Body Martial Soul now. Come with us; it can only be beneficial for you."

Kidnapping someone in front of the Shilake Academy teachers is probably something only the Body Sect could do, but surprisingly, Wang Yan beside them remained silent, merely listening quietly.

Huo Yutong shook her head firmly again.

"I'm sorry, but the most important people to me are now at Shilake Academy, so I cannot leave. Gentlemen, let's stop here for today."

She said that, rose from the sofa, and prepared to leave.

"Do you just say you disagree and that's it?"

A deep voice rang out; the companion named Yu Tao sprang up, thrusting his massive right arm toward Huo Yutong.

"Danger!"

In the critical moment, Tang Wulin's right hand transformed into a dragon claw, pushing with full force and diverting Yu Tao's motion.

Yu Tao's eyes flashed brightly, his gaze burning as he looked at Tang Wulin.

"Interesting."

Although he held back full strength for fear of hurting Huo Yutong, it wasn't something any random cat or dog could push aside; in terms of raw power this kid was already not inferior to some Soul Emperors.

Seeing their clash, Huo Yutong quickly turned, golden light swirling in her eyes, ready to use a soul skill to assist Tang Wulin.

At that moment, Lang Ya's calm voice rang out, sounding very wavering.

"Using spirit detection on me, little girl, you've got the wrong target."

Huo Yutong felt a massive surge of spirit power erupt from Lang Ya, brutally tearing her spirit detection to pieces; a sharp headache surged, and she painfully collapsed onto the ground.

Lang Ya's spirit power, after shredding the detection, did not pause at all; it instantly pierced Huo Yutong's forehead, preparing to directly control her spirit.

He hadn't really expected to persuade Huo Yutong at first, so he was already prepared to act directly if persuasion failed.

Sensing his invading spirit power, Huo Yutong's Sea of Spirit boiled instantly; just as Lang Ya's spirit power entered her forehead, a flash of emerald light streaked through, cutting Lang Ya's spirit power cleanly.

"Eh?"

Feeling a thin strand of his own spirit power sliced, Lang Ya raised an eyebrow in surprise, greatly astonished.

This little girl managed to resist his spirit control; could it be that her Body Martial Soul has already completed the Second Awakening? His gaze grew even hotter. Noticing Yu Tao still intending to act, he quickly gestured for him to stop and said gently, "You just said the most important person to you is at Shilake, right? I understand. Is the person you refer to the kid beside you? If so, you needn't worry; we can also bring him into the Body Sect. With your connection, we won't shortchange him."

His voice was full of allure, and the powerful spirit power filled the entire space, coaxing Huo Yutong to agree with what he said.

Just as Huo Yutong opened her mouth to say something, a figure appeared before her, shattering the spirit power attacking her. "Times have really changed; even cats and dogs dare to bully Shilake's head now. You two are quite something! Still trying to snatch people?"

Seeing the figure clearly, Wang Yan immediately stood up excitedly.

"Xuan Lao!"

He was so calm just now because he had long known Xuanzi's whereabouts in Star Net City. As long as Xuanzi acts, those two from the Body Sect won't even be able to snatch anyone, not even a Honored Douluo.

Lang Ya instantly became alert.

"Sea God Hall?"

The only ones capable of shattering his spirit power in an instant could be a Honored Douluo, and the most likely Honored Douluo from Shilake would be a member of the Sea God Hall.

Xuanzi hummed.

"Good that you know, now hurry and get out."

Yu Tao seemed about to speak, but Lang Ya quickly held him down and gave a slight bow.

"Junior understands."

After speaking, he took Yu Tao's hand and led him out of the Star Emperor Hotel.

Watching the two depart, Wang Yan approached Xuanzi, asking with some worry:

"Xuan Lao, is everything okay with the Body Sect side?"

Xuanzi's expression turned heavy.

"It's troublesome; had I known, I wouldn't have let those two kids join the competition. The old monster of the Body Sect is not only powerful but also extremely unruly in temperament, so this won't be easy to resolve. Still, they probably won't dare test us again. I'll return to the Academy immediately and should be able to get back before the finals start; I hope that old monster moves slowly. That old thing can do anything, never understanding any reason, and since Yutong still has a Body Martial Soul, it gives him an excuse to act. Honestly, that old scumbag is thirty years older than me, how is he still not dead?"

He sighed, turned, and patted Tang Wulin's and Huo Yutong's shoulders.

"Good luck in the finals; I believe you'll definitely take the crown."

Having said that, his figure vanished from the Star Emperor Hotel.

After Xuanzi disappeared, the atmosphere on the scene grew briefly heavy.

This was Tang Wulin's first time encountering members of the Body Sect, and their methods made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Even though Huo Yutong had explicitly refused them, they still tried to forcefully snatch her; had Xuanzi not been present, they probably would have succeeded.

Tang Wulin didn't doubt what they said; if Huo Yutong went to them, the cultivation progress of the Body Martial Soul would certainly be faster than at Shilake, that's indisputable, since only the Body Sect worldwide holds the method for the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening.

He didn't think the Body Sect would abuse Huo Yutong; from their greedy looks at her, it was clear they intended to bring her back for core personnel training.

He simply had no good feeling toward their unreasonable, overbearing style.
