After waiting for an hour, they were finally led to the registration area.
The registration area was at the center of the lobby. There was a long table that faced the doors, and there were ten people in charge of registration.
There was also a neat row of empty tables to one side. They were instructed to fill in a form.
Bei Bei was in charge of filling out this form.
Once he received the form, Bei Bei understood why they had had to wait so long. There were many things that he had to fill out. Detailed information on every official and preparatory squad member had to be written down – their name, age, sect, etc. It took ten minutes just to fill out the form.
After filling out the form, everyone had to take a photograph at the registration table.
The camera was a special, auxiliary-type soul tool. It captured everyone"s appearance. After the photographs were taken, they were directly printed on the registration form. This also demonstrated the leading position the Sun Moon Empire possessed in terms of technology.
After the photography segment was over, they still had to undergo body and physical tests. This was to ensure that every competing member was twenty years old or younger.
They were then led into a huge room in the hotel. There was already a queue in this room, but it was much simpler for the Tang Sect there. After all, Na Na was their only preparatory squad member. As they were overage, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan couldn"t compete as preparatory squad members.
Huo Yuhao wasn"t a stranger to the equipment used to measure his body. It was just that he was wondering what kind of result would be produced as he was measured in his current state?
It was their turn soon. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao felt petrified. A weird feeling caused him to turn to a corner of the measuring room. When his gaze landed on someone, he couldn"t shift his eyes anymore.
Huo Yuhao"s voice cracked as he shouted, “Teacher Xiao Ya!” This attracted the attention of everyone in the measuring room.
After hearing Huo Yuhao exclamation, Bei Bei"s body trembled violently. After that, he also turned in the same direction.
There was a young lady in the corner of the room. She still possessed a slender figure, and was as ravishing as ever. She looked taller than she had been a few years back, but there was an unhealthy paleness to her face. Her sharp eyes seemed to have changed color. There was a hint of dark blue in her beautiful eyes. As she stood in the corner, she seemed to have a.s.similated with the shadows. If not for Huo Yuhao"s acute senses, no one would have noticed her.
Yes. She was Tang Ya. Compared to a few years ago before, when she had disappeared, her appearance hadn"t changed much.
Bei Bei"s body stiffened when he saw her. After that, he started to tremble violently. He even had to grab hold of Huo Yuhao"s wheelchair to stabilize himself.
“Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya…” Only those who were familiar with him knew that Bei Bei had had a hard time not finding Tang Ya over these past few years. They hadn"t expected to see her here.
Huo Yuhao wasn"t any less agitated than Bei Bei. To him, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were his benefactors! Furthermore, Tang Ya was the true sect leader of the Tang Sect. After the Tang Sect was re-established, Bei Bei had mentioned that he was only a temporary subst.i.tute for her. When she returned, she would be reinstated as the sect leader. Everyone agreed with his proposition too.
He actually met Tang Ya here. He was extremely emotional right now.
Tang Ya also looked over. She first saw Huo Yuhao in his wheelchair before she saw Bei Bei. She seemed a little lost, and didn"t move from her position. She gave off the feeling that she had lost her soul.
Bei Bei moved at this point. He was like a gust of wind right now as he burst towards Tang Ya. How long had it been? Tang Ya had gone missing just after the previous tournament had ended. It was close to five years now! They had turned from teenagers into youths. As he saw Tang Ya again, Bei Bei felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. His heart was only filled with his boundless love for her. Right now, he wasn"t as calm as before. There was only Tang Ya in his heart right now.
He came in front of Tang Ya instantly and grabbed her shoulders forcefully. His voice was trembling as he said, “Xiao Ya, where, where have you been all these years? Did you know how hard a time I"ve had searching for you?”
She was still in a daze even though he had grabbed her. She let him shake her body.
At this point, Huo Yuhao sensed something amiss. He shouted, “Eldest senior, be careful!”
After hearing Huo Yuhao"s words, he would have been cautious and wary of his surroundings if he were acting normally. However, he was too emotional now. Five years of yearning! His lover who had occupied his entire heart had finally appeared. He couldn"t be bothered with anything else.
At this point, Tang Ya finally moved. She lifted her hands and pressed them against Bei Bei"s chest. It was as if she was resisting him. However, her dark-blue eyes started to light up as she lifted her head in the next moment.
Bei Bei was stunned. He only felt that he had seen two deep valleys, and he was sucked into these valleys. In the next moment, a huge force struck his chest. He flew backward like a broken kite.
Fresh blood sprayed from his mouth. His entire body was engulfed by a dark-blue glow, which was swallowing his life power maniacally.
After Huo Yuhao told Bei Bei to be cautious, the rest of Shrek"s Seven Monsters acted too. Xu Sanshi was the first to burst out. While he had always bickered with Bei Bei, they actually shared a close relationship. He unleashed his martial soul as he stepped out.
It was a pity that Tang Ya"s action was too sudden. Who would have expected her to make a move on Bei Bei? Xu Sanshi"s Mysterious Underworld Displacement was too late. He leapt up as he saw Bei Bei in the air and cushioned his fall. At the same time, a pitch-black light engulfed Bei Bei"s body and resisted the violation of the dark-blue glow.
Xu Sanshi"s expression changed the moment their soul power met. It was very strong. The soul power that Tang Ya had left on Bei Bei"s body was too dense and consolidated, and it even possessed an extremely dominant, corrosive force. Xu Sanshi couldn"t gain an advantage over it even with his cultivation. Fortunately, Bei Bei"s cultivation wasn"t weak. He unleashed his own soul power and strongly resisted the invasive soul power. Tang Ya had only pushed him, she hadn"t unleashed an attack. She had unleashed the soul power that poured into his body, but didn"t directly attack his chest. As a result, Bei Bei"s bones were fine even though he was slightly injured.
“Xiao Ya, are you crazy?” Xu Sanshi shouted at Tang Ya as he tried to resist her soul power.
At this point, a few men in black stepped in front of Tang Ya. One of the elders looked in the direction of group representing the Tang Sect. Huo Yuhao"s body shuddered as he saw this elder. His expression also turned dismal.
He recognized him. That was because he was one of the a.s.sa.s.sins who had intercepted Huo Yuhao"s return to Shrek Academy a few months ago.
Zhang Peng; Scorpion Tiger Douluo, and half evil soul master. He was a Rank 96 Transcendent Douluo. He wasn"t inferior to Dean Yan Shaozhe in a fight!
Now he had appeared here, and in front of Tang Ya. What did it mean?
Furthermore, Tang Ya"s soul power evidently contained the aura of an evil soul master!
Na Na was very pale right now. There were only three words going through her mind right now – Holy Ghost Church. It was the Holy Ghost Church!
The rest of the Tang Sect also came up beside Bei Bei. w.a.n.g Dong"er pressed her hands on Bei Bei"s shoulders and poured in her pure power of light. Along with Xu Sanshi"s Xuanwu soul power, the dark-blue aura was expelled from his body.
Bei Bei"s expression was extremely pale, and there was fresh blood flowing from his nose. Tang Ya"s strike didn"t just hurt his body; it also broke his heart!
He didn"t expect Tang Ya to give him such a huge "gift" after five years without seeing her!
Zhang Peng wore a cold look as he looked towards everyone from the Tang Sect. He was stunned when he saw Huo Yuhao in his wheelchair. He squinted his eyes and appeared pensive.
Tang Ya acted like she didn"t see all of them. After hitting Bei Bei, she turned around and left. A few other men in black followed beside her. Even Zhang Peng did the same thing.
Bei Bei struggled, but he couldn"t get up! There was also blood in his mouth. His voice was hoa.r.s.e as he said, “Xiao Ya...”
Tang Ya didn"t stop. She quickly left, as if she hadn"t seen anything. However, there was a slight quiver of emotion in her eyes.
Huo Yuhao arrived beside Bei Bei in his wheelchair, with Ji Juechen"s help. He grabbed onto Bei Bei"s wrist and softly said, “Eldest senior, calm down.” His gaze was gentle, and a slight wave of spiritual power engulfed Bei Bei"s head. Yuhao used the gentle and spiritual aura to soothe Bei Bei"s turmoil.
