Chapter 66

After a round of sparring, everyone gained a deeper understanding of each other.

It's just that the process, for the five people other than Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, could hardly be called friendly……

After the battle ended, Wu Zhangkong and Luo Yanglu stopped putting everyone through the wringer and let them go rest.

Wu Zhangkong and Luo Yanglu also picked a room in this dormitory building and settled in.

This was the Academy's arrangement; with the two of them staying here, they could better guide everyone.

It was already late today; various courses would wait until tomorrow.

……

At night, Tang Wu Lin lay on the bed, breathing evenly, his consciousness gradually sinking into a white world.

He looked around, expressionless.

He had come here several times already; this time, what did that voice want to say?

Just as Tang Wu Lin was thinking, a mechanical voice rang out of thin air.

"Shrek Academy's motto — not daring to stir up trouble is mediocrity. As a heaven's chosen, staying safe and steady won't do; you must stir up wind and rain, weather the vicissitudes……"

"What you say is wrong! A person who stirs up trouble only picks on those weaker than themselves; no one goes to provoke someone stronger. Not daring to stir up trouble is mediocrity — putting yourself in their shoes, isn't that just bullying the weak?"

Tang Wu Lin listened for a while, then loudly rebutted, interrupting, "Dad told me, if I bullied classmates smaller than me at school, he would definitely punish me. But if a bigger classmate bullies me, I must bravely resist, and he absolutely would not blame me for it."

"Teacher Wu Yu also told me, our Spirit Pagoda doesn't stir up trouble, but we're not afraid of it either! Wantonly bullying others is wrong!"

Hearing Tang Wu Lin's words, that mechanical voice seemed somewhat angry, "The weak are meat, the strong eat — that is the truth of this world!"

Tang Wu Lin shook his head, tone low, "But if we follow what you say, not daring to stir up trouble is mediocrity, the strong have the right to wantonly bully others, I can rely on strength to bully others, and others can do the same to me. If everyone is like that, isn't this world just hell?"

"Spirit Pagoda elders can directly pull me into the Spirit Pagoda without asking my opinion. Spirit Transmitter uncles can rely on their strength to not give me a chance to obtain a soul spirit, not help me awaken my martial soul, I might even be unable to cultivate! Dad and Mom might have encountered bad people while trying to get money to buy me a soul spirit, and been taken away by them."

"That I can live in this world with peace of mind and happiness is absolutely not because of your so-called truth, but something warmer!"

Tang San's divine sense watched Tang Wu Lin from outside the white space, opened his mouth, and discovered he actually couldn't rebut, falling into silence.

After thinking for a period of time, he discovered it was still better not to teach Wu Lin under the identity of "Lao Tang" for now, otherwise it would easily invite suspicion, so he chose a method similar to "dream visitation" to teach Tang Wu Lin in his sleep.

But, he discovered he couldn't teach the other party right now.

Wu Lin was too stubborn; Tang Ziran and his wife's influence on him was huge, he simply wasn't willing to listen to his teaching, not even willing to listen to Shrek Academy's motto passed down for ten thousand years.

Even…… some of the things this kid said, he actually felt had a trace of reason.

What to do?

He thought for a bit, Tang San's divine sense sighed, temporarily sent Tang Wu Lin out, intending to think a bit more on educational policy, gaze turning toward the Golden Dragon King Seal inside Tang Wu Lin's body.

The God Realm war, the Body God miscalculated some variables; the new Emotion God strongly supported the Destruction God King's proposal to expand the God Realm, siding with Destruction during their great battle. And Destruction's terrifying strength also exceeded the Body God's expectations.

Originally with the Destruction God — Zhou Weiqing — turning coat to help him, and Wu Lin's birth undoing Destruction's seal, logically victory was in hand.

Unexpectedly, because of the new Emotion God and the miscalculation of Destruction's strength, an accident occurred; the Destruction God's betrayal instead became the fuse. Coupled with the Life Goddess faintly standing on the Body God's side, Destruction grew even more furious, truly enraged, bringing his subordinates and the Emotion God to chase and violently beat him and the Destruction God.

In the end, the Body God's divine body was severely injured, divine power mostly exhausted; the Destruction God directly lay down. If not for the Life Goddess intervening to stop both sides, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After that, the God Realm encountered spatial turbulence; the Life and Destruction God Kings died resisting the spatial turbulence.

It was under those circumstances that the Golden Dragon King broke out of the Forbidden Land of the God Realm!!!

After being sealed, the Golden Dragon King had been absorbing the God Realm's immortal spiritual qi to cultivate; its strength was even greater than Destruction's, faintly surpassing the God King realm. The battered Body God was chased and violently beaten again.

At that time, the Kindness and Evil God Kings had long been lured away by Destruction; Destruction and Life were dead, Destruction God Zhou Weiqing lay down, Rong Nianbing escaped, the new Emotion God's foundation didn't match the aforementioned few, and still had a grudge with the Body God.

At this point, the Body God fundamentally couldn't find trusted gods to share the God Realm Core's defensive pressure (in the original work Huo Yuhao helped Tang San bear it, and bore it with extreme difficulty, almost fainting), and could only forcibly bear the pressure of the entire God Realm defense system being squeezed by spatial turbulence, dragging a crowd of gods to fight the Golden Dragon King, resulting in many gods dying in battle. Divine artifacts scattered in all directions, whereabouts unknown.

To protect the remaining gods and maintain prestige, the Body God could only sacrifice the Sea God's position, barely maintaining.

If not for the Kindness and Evil God Kings, who were lured to the Five Elements Continent by Destruction ahead of time, finally returning, even the dignified God Realm enforcer would have died at the Golden Dragon King's hands!

But even surviving, the Body God's condition was poor to the extreme; after using the Three Realms Judgment Sword to kill the Golden Dragon King, divine power was thoroughly exhausted, difficult to recover in a short time. He couldn't even complete the Golden Dragon King Seal by himself, still needing the other two God Kings to help……

This is also the significance of why this strand of divine sense must retain memory; the Golden Dragon King Seal before my eyes, because it is formed from the convergence of multiple divine powers, has certain defects!

Tang San's divine sense looked at the seal, sighed deeply.

With Wu Lin in this state, how could he rest assured entrusting this power to him?

……

Early the next morning, Gu Yue Na was woken by a burst of fragrance.

"What is this smell?"

Gu Yue Na's eyes lit up; she quickly dressed and groomed herself, came to the first-floor kitchen, and saw Huo Yuhao and Luo Yanglu busy inside.

This dormitory has a kitchen; it's just that she and Yuhao hadn't used it before.

'So Yuhao can cook…… smells so good.'

Gu Yue Na peered from the kitchen doorway, was noticed by Huo Yuhao inside, who reached out and handed her a plate.

Inside were xiaolongbao.

Huo Yuhao smiled, "Have a taste?"

With Spiritual Eyes assisting, plus years of traveling everywhere, his culinary skill wasn't bad.

Gu Yue Na blinked, reached out and took one, bit gently, eyes lighting up, chewing the food rapidly like a little hamster, her whole body radiating a glow of happiness.

The energy in the food that nourished the body was ignored by her; she only cared about taste! Delicious!

By the time Huo Yuhao finished helping Luo Yanglu with breakfast and came to the hall, he saw Gu Yue Na already sitting eagerly at the dining table, dark bright watery eyes staring fixedly at him…… at the tray in his hand; the plates beside her had already been wiped clean.

"……"

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, walked to Gu Yue Na's side and sat down, passing the tray in his hand to her side.

He had witnessed this one's appetite before, and was already used to it.

Xie Xie and the others got up, rushed over following the smell, and what they saw was this scene.

"When they stay here, is it usually like this too?"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, a gossip-wanting expression on her face as she looked at Xie Xie.
