Chapter 139

Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately he had prepared himself mentally, and he turned back to say directly, "Teacher Xiong Jun taught me a method of using spiritual power; when I used it, I entered here."

"Teacher Xiong... Jun?"

Tang San's divine sense froze for a moment, his train of thought disrupted, finally fixing on the two characters "Xiong Jun".

Xiong Jun, that seems to be a Star Dou fierce beast, right?

Tang Wulin nodded: "Teacher Xiong Jun took a fancy to my forging talent, accepted me as a disciple, and even gave me a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. He's very powerful; previously when facing Shrek's Super Douluo, he slapped her flying with a single palm..."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin's expression gradually grew excited, the complex emotions in his heart temporarily tossed to the back of his mind, and he chattered on about recent events.

"..." Tang San's divine sense watched Tang Wulin's excited expression and the way his eyes shone, and his vision went black.

He, the dignified Sea God's Son, actually took a fierce beast from the Star Dou Great Forest as his master?

Wu Lin, just how many more surprises do you intend to give me?

Tang San's divine sense felt heavy-hearted, yet could only forcefully suppress the surging emotions in his chest and continue listening.

He knew full well in his heart that Xiong Jun's action was certainly inseparable from Huo Yuhao and the Silver Dragon King, those two — for the sake of scheming for the Golden Dragon King bloodline, they truly stop at nothing, their intentions are punishable, they seek death!

Now that there is a Limit Douluo-level powerhouse beside Wu Lin, he must act even more cautiously; he cannot freely probe the outside world, otherwise he might be discovered.

Fortunately the enemy is in the light while I am in the dark; the other side still does not know of his existence...

Looking at Tang San's divine sense wearing a pensive expression, Tang Wulin suddenly asked: "Lao Tang, do you think what Shrek Academy did is right or wrong?"

"Truly seeking..."

Tang San's words had only gone halfway when he abruptly reacted, letting out a light cough.

"Wrong, acting arbitrarily, confounding right and wrong, disregarding others' wishes, it violates the way of being human."

Tang Wulin looked at him, his tone low, "I heard their school motto is 'not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity.'"

Tang San's divine sense heard this, and his expression stiffened.

Come to think of it, he hadn't thought deeply about it before; now thinking back, Shrek's approach seems similar to that of a certain academy his generation faced.

Only, back then they didn't kick an iron plate, whereas the current Shrek Academy has kicked an iron plate.

This reminded him of something Tang Wulin had said before —

"Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity" in a certain sense is just bullying the weak and fearing the strong, bullying the weak.

Tang San's divine sense felt complex inside, but on the surface he said: "Such a school motto truly needs revision. If an academy cannot even uphold the most basic moral bottom line, what qualifications does it have to teach students?"

"I think so too."

Tang Wulin nodded, then asked bluntly:

"Lao Tang, I also heard someone say this in a dream before — is there another consciousness inside my body?"

Tang San's divine sense gazed at Tang Wulin, his heart stirring slightly, finally noticing his complex expression.

So that's it; Wu Lin has probably suspected him, right?

This child really, asking so bluntly, gave him psychological preparation — you won't get the answer you want.

As thoughts turned a hundred times, Tang San's divine sense shifted his gaze to the Golden Dragon King seal and murmured:

"There is indeed another consciousness inside your body, and unlike me, he possesses his own memories. But it is the Dragon King; I'm afraid it won't concern itself with human society..."

Tang San's divine sense revealed a solemn expression, seemingly deducing a suspect yet not completely denying other possibilities, instead leaving Tang Wulin somewhat confused for a time.

Going by Lao Tang's words, it seems like it's neither his doing nor that Dragon King's doing; otherwise why would he name a suspect and then explain for the other party?

Just pin the hat on that Dragon King and be done with it... hmm, Dragon King? There's only one Dragon King inside him, right?

Tang Wulin looked toward the Golden Dragon King seal with a face full of shock, "He's still alive?"

"Only a wisp of remnant soul remains." Tang San's divine sense sighed, "Otherwise I wouldn't have appeared here either. The great power who cast the seal failed to completely erase its will."

That guy the Golden Dragon King probably saw that they expended a vast amount of power to kill him, or perhaps after killing quite a few gods he felt he'd already broken even, his destructive will no longer so strong, he became a bit more rational, and actually left a fragment of divine sense fused into the god core.

By the time they finished the sealing, they discovered this guy actually still had a wisp of consciousness, but the die was cast, too late for regrets. The Silver Dragon King's prior appearance was also the other party mocking him.

However the other party's divine sense is in the final seal; right now it basically can't do anything. The Silver Dragon King he's counting on also doesn't know his situation, so let him be complacent for a while...

Watching Tang Wulin, who in the course of their exchange had already immersed himself in the news that the Golden Dragon King was still alive and completely forgotten his original purpose, Tang San's divine sense secretly shook his head.

Wu Lin is still too young, doesn't understand the treachery of human hearts; he just played along freely and managed to dispel his suspicions.

"Wu Lin, as the seals break through, you will gradually be influenced by the Golden Dragon King's will, and may even be tempted by him — remember, do not believe a single word the Golden Dragon King says!"

In the room, Gu Yue Na told Huo Yuhao various information, her brows tightly knitted: "Yuhao, these are what Xiong Jun relayed to me, intelligence regarding the Golden Dragon King seal."

"Three divine powers, seal separation, and the Golden Dragon King's remnant soul?"

Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

Red-haired woman, white light ring... is it the God of Kindness, Lie Yan?

Looking at it this way, this seal was established by the God of Kindness, the God of Evil, and Tang San together — Tang San was only responsible for the first six seals.

Moreover, from the scenes Wu Lin saw, the God of Kindness's thinking was clearly different from the original Tang San's; she didn't intend for Wu Lin to bear all the Golden Dragon King's power himself, but made a contingency for the worst case, leaving a means to assist in peeling away the Golden Dragon King seal.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts raced rapidly, finally settling on the matter of the Golden Dragon King's remnant soul.

The tombstone he erected for the other party seems to have been erected too early...

This time, the Golden Dragon King's initial thought probably wasn't to put Wu Lin to death to torture Tang San —

After all, Tang San's Sea God divinity was stripped away because of his sacrifice; the Golden Dragon King's hatred for him couldn't possibly run as deep as in the original work.

It's more likely it wanted to use Wu Lin to hide its aura, just like the Abyssal Saint Lord got smart once before his demise and entrusted his divine sense to Bai Xiuxiu — both are expedient measures to preserve themselves in a moment of crisis. Although going by the routine, this kind of situation usually ends up just sending an opportunity to someone else...

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue Na with her complex expression, "What do you plan to do?"

"I don't know." Gu Yue Na sighed lightly, her gaze complex.

The Golden Dragon King being alive threw her thoughts into some disorder.

There is joy, and there is worry.

"His thoughts may not be the same as mine, and may not follow the same path as ours; what he hopes for should be that only one remains between us, devouring the other, becoming the Dragon God, restoring past glory..."

Huo Yuhao listened to Gu Yue Na's soft murmur, stepped forward and gently stroked her smooth hair, "No need to rush into a decision, wait until your heart settles down before thinking it over."

Gu Yue Na slightly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth transmitted from Huo Yuhao's fingertips, the turmoil in her heart seemed to calm down a little, "Actually I'm not that worried either, with you here, we can suppress him, let him also enter this era."

Huo Yuhao's movement paused, he laughed lightly and said:

"I am Ling Bing, I am Huo Yuhao, not a god, much less a God King, there's no need to have this much confidence in me."

Gu Yue Na slightly raised her eyes, the complex emotions on her face flashed by, then turned to reveal a gentle smile, "I know, but this was you, Yuhao, who deceived me first, made me believe it, so you have to take responsibility."
