Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat, but he was prepared. He turned around and said directly, "Teacher Xiong Jun taught me a method of using spiritual power, and I entered here when I used it."
"Teacher Xiong Jun...?"
Tang San's divine sense was stunned, his thoughts interrupted, and finally fixed on the words "Xiong Jun."
Xiong Jun, wasn't that one of the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Forest?
Tang Wulin nodded, "Teacher Xiong Jun saw my forging talent and took me as his disciple. He even gave me a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. He's very powerful. When he faced the super Douluo from Shrek Academy, he just slapped her away with one hand..."
As he spoke, Tang Wulin's expression gradually became excited, and the complex emotions in his heart were temporarily thrown aside as he chattered on about recent events.
"..." Tang San's divine sense looked at Tang Wulin's excited expression and the light in his eyes, and his vision darkened.
His son, the son of the Sea God, had actually taken a fierce beast from the Star Dou Forest as his teacher?
Wulin, how many more surprises do you have in store for me?
Tang San's divine sense felt heavy, but he could only suppress the surging emotions in his heart and continue to listen.
He knew very well that Xiong Jun's actions must be related to Huo Yuhao and the Silver Dragon King, those two people would stop at nothing to obtain the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. Their hearts were truly despicable, and they deserved to die!
Now that there was a Limit Douluo-level expert by Wulin's side, he had to be even more cautious in his actions. He couldn't casually probe the outside world, or he might be discovered.
Fortunately, the enemy was in the open, and they didn't know of his existence...
Looking at Tang San's divine sense, who was deep in thought, Tang Wulin suddenly asked, "Old Tang, do you think Shrek Academy is right in doing this?"
"Of course they are..." Tang San's words were halfway out when he suddenly realized and coughed lightly.
"No, they are acting recklessly, turning black into white, disregarding others' wishes, and going against the way of being human."
Tang Wulin looked at him, his voice low, "I heard their academy motto is 'Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity.'"
Tang San's divine sense stiffened at these words.
Now that he thought about it, Shrek Academy's actions seemed similar to how they had treated a certain academy in their generation.
However, they hadn't kicked a steel plate back then, while Shrek Academy had now kicked one.
This reminded him of what Tang Wulin had said before, not daring to cause trouble was, in a sense, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Tang San's divine sense felt complicated, but on the surface, he said, "Such a academy motto really needs to be revised. If a academy can't even uphold the most basic moral standards, what right does it have to teach students?"
"I think so too."
Tang Wulin nodded, then asked directly, "Old Tang, I heard someone say the same thing in my dream. Is there another consciousness inside me?"
Tang San's divine sense stared at Tang Wulin, his heart slightly moved. He had finally noticed the complex expression on his face.
So that was it. Wulin must have suspected him.
This child was really something. Asking so directly, he had prepared himself mentally, so he wouldn't get the answer he wanted.
As his thoughts raced, Tang San's divine sense turned his gaze to the Golden Dragon King's seal and said thoughtfully, "There is indeed another consciousness inside you, and it's different from me. It has its own memories. But it's the Dragon King, so it probably doesn't care about human society..."
Tang San's divine sense put on a serious expression, seemingly pointing to a suspect but not completely ruling out other possibilities, leaving Tang Wulin momentarily confused.
According to Old Tang's words, it seemed neither he nor the Dragon King had done it. Otherwise, why would he point to a suspect and then explain for them?
He could have just pinned it on the Dragon King... Hmm, the Dragon King? Wasn't there only one Dragon King inside him?
Tang Wulin looked at the Golden Dragon King's seal in shock, "He's still alive?"
"Just a remnant of his soul," Tang San's divine sense sighed. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. The great power that sealed him couldn't completely erase his will."
The Golden Dragon King probably saw that they had expended a lot of power to kill him, or perhaps after killing many gods, he felt it was enough.
His will to destroy wasn't as strong, and he regained some rationality, leaving a fragment of his divine sense to merge with the divine core.
When they finished the seal, they discovered that he still had a trace of consciousness, but it was too late to reverse it. The appearance of the Silver Dragon King was also his way of mocking them.
However, his divine sense was in the final seal and couldn't do anything now. The Silver Dragon King he was counting on didn't know his situation, so let him be proud for a while...
Seeing that Tang Wulin had completely forgotten his initial question after being immersed in the information about the Golden Dragon King's survival, Tang San's divine sense shook his head secretly.
Wulin was still too young and didn't understand the dangers of human hearts. With a little manipulation, he could dispel his suspicions.
"Wulin, as the seal breaks, you will gradually be influenced by the Golden Dragon King's will, and you may even be tempted by him. Remember, you must not listen to any of the Golden Dragon King's words!"
...
In the room, Gu Yuena, with a furrowed brow, told Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, this is what Xiong Jun told me about the Golden Dragon King's seal."
"Three divine powers, the seal's removal, and the Golden Dragon King's remnant soul?"
Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
A red-haired woman with a white halo, was that the Goddess of Kindness, Lie Yan?
So it seemed this seal was set up by the Goddess of Kindness, the God of Evil, and Tang San. Tang San was only responsible for the first six seals.
Moreover, from the scene Wulin saw, the Goddess of Kindness's thoughts were clearly different from Tang San's original plan.
She hadn't intended for Wulin to bear all the Golden Dragon King's power alone but had made preparations for the worst-case scenario, leaving a method to assist in removing the Golden Dragon King's seal.
Huo Yuhao's thoughts raced, finally settling on the matter of the Golden Dragon King's remnant soul.
The tombstone he had set up for him seemed to have been set up too early...
This time, the Golden Dragon King's initial thoughts probably weren't to torment Tang San by putting Wulin to death, after all, Tang San's Sea God's divine core had been stripped away because of his sacrifice, so the Golden Dragon King's hatred for him couldn't be as deep as in the original story.
It was more likely that he wanted to use Wulin to hide his aura, just as the Abyss Saint had cleverly placed his divine sense in Bai Xiuxi before his death.
Both were desperate measures to preserve themselves in critical moments. Although, according to the usual pattern, such situations often ended up giving others opportunities...
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena, who had a complicated expression, and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I don't know," Gu Yuena sighed softly, her eyes filled with complexity.
The Golden Dragon King's survival had thrown her thoughts into chaos.
There was joy, but also worry.
"His thoughts may not be the same as mine, and his path may not align with ours. What he wants is probably for only one of us to remain, to devour the other and become the Dragon God, restoring the glory of the past..."
Listening to Gu Yuena's murmurs, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and gently stroked her smooth hair, "Don't rush to make a decision. Think about it when your mind is calmer."
Gu Yuena slightly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth from Huo Yuhao's fingertips, and the chaos in her heart seemed to calm a little, "Actually, I'm not too worried. With you here, we can suppress him and make him step into this era as well."
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then smiled lightly, "I am Spirit Ice, Huo Yuhao, not a god, let alone a God King. You don't need to be so confident in me."
Gu Yuena slightly raised her eyes, the complicated emotions on her face flashing away, replaced by a gentle smile, "I know, but it was you who deceived me first, making me believe. So you have to take responsibility."
