The Eve of the Storm: Tang Yin and Old Tang's Resolve
Everyone exchanged glances, then hurriedly retreated without making a sound, afraid of being recognized.
Soon, they gathered around a table in a restaurant to discuss beating Tang Yin up.
"I finally feel better. That Tang Yin is so annoying, always following me around like a stalker. Let's see if he dares do it again."
Wu Bingyu felt wonderful all over. She really hated people who hurt her friends and then approached and stalked her.
Xu Xiaoyan and Na'er also hated Tang Yin. He had attacked Chen Jianshu for no apparent reason back then, and now he was stalking their friend. He really was detestable.
"Um... I remember Tang Yin is in Class One. Isn't there a Class Promotion Tournament later? If they perform well, I think they can join Class Zero too."
Chen Jianshu stroked his chin and brought up the Class Promotion Tournament. In the original story, Class Zero had only been formed after the tournament, but now it had been established early.
Eastsea Academy had also given many students talented enough to enter Class Zero a chance. The Class Promotion Tournament was one way in, and if they performed exceptionally well, they could join Class Zero.
"Huh? Doesn't that mean Tang Yin still has a chance to join our Class Zero?"
Wu Bingyu's expression changed drastically. The mere thought of that guy joining their class displeased her.
"Yeah, but if the people from Class Two can beat him, maybe he'll miss his chance to join Class Zero."
Chen Jianshu stroked his chin thoughtfully. He remembered that Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were both in Class Two. When the time came... Tang San would fight his own son and the Silver Dragon King's main body. Just thinking about it was amusing.
"Class Two... I remember that black-haired girl seems to be in Class Two. If she was called to the office to sign an agreement to join Class Zero, she must be strong too!"
Xu Xiaoyan thought of Gu Yue, who had refused to join Class Zero. Since she had been called to Long Hengxu's academic affairs office to sign an agreement to join, she had to be at least a Soul Grandmaster.
"Then there's hope! Tang Yin is the only Soul Grandmaster in Class One right now, and Class Two has Gu Yue. As long as she's a little stronger, Tang Yin won't have a chance to get into Class Zero!"
Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Bingyu exchanged a look and nodded. They planned to find Gu Yue tomorrow and talk to her about it. They could pay her.
Xu Xiaoyan was a prodigy of the Xu Clan and a Purple-Rank Core Disciple of the Spirit Pagoda. Wu Bingyu was a wealthy young lady herself, so neither of them lacked money.
While the two discussed finding Gu Yue and asking her to defeat Tang Yin, Na'er wore a troubled frown.
If Tang Yin won, the bastard who had hurt Brother Jianshu would join Class Zero. If Gu Yue won, she would join Class Zero too. What kind of hellish choice was this?
She could only regret that she wasn't a Class Three student. Otherwise, all she would have to do was fight her way through Class Two and Class One, then come to her brother's side in a show of strength. Unfortunately, she could only dream...
The next day, after morning classes ended, Wu Bingyu and Xu Xiaoyan went to find Gu Yue in Class Two. But she seemed unwilling to get involved and put Tang Wulin forward instead.
"Perhaps you could try finding Tang Wulin? He's fighting too. Although he only has one ring, his fighting strength isn't low."
The brilliant Lady Gu Yue wasn't foolish enough to confront Tang Yin head-on herself. She planned to have Tang Wulin and Tang Yin leave each other badly injured, exhausting the power of their Divine Senses.
Then I, the Dragon God's other half, the sovereign of all Soul Beasts, the brilliant Lady Silver Dragon King, will make a powerful move, suppress those two scoundrels, and obtain the Golden Dragon King Divine Core.
It's a perfect plan! As expected of me, Lady Silver Dragon King, who possesses the Dragon God's wisdom.
Watching Wu Bingyu and Xu Xiaoyan leave to find Tang Wulin, Gu Yue smiled smugly.
Over in the cafeteria, the person in question was eating with Xie Xie when the two girls suddenly came looking for him. Both boys were completely bewildered.
"One hundred thousand Federation Coins. Please, make sure you teach Tang Yin a brutal lesson during the Class Promotion Tournament!"
Wu Bingyu slapped a stack of Federation Coins onto the table, her eyes full of resolve. Now she could only pin her hopes on Tang Wulin.
"Huh? Me?"
Tang Wulin pointed at himself in bewilderment. Why had they suddenly come to him and asked him to teach Tang Yin a lesson? Xie Xie was just as baffled. What was going on?
Xu Xiaoyan then explained about the Class Promotion Tournament, and the two boys immediately understood.
"Agree to it!"
In Tang Wulin's Sea of Consciousness, Old Tang, the Asura God Sense, told him to accept the offer, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Wu can only be mine! As for the main body? Whoever wins Xiao Wu first is the main body!
The original story showed that Old Tang, the Sea God Divine Sense in Tang Wulin's mind, had a consciousness of his own. Now, because the Sea God Godhood had exploded when Tang San fought the Golden Dragon King, he had been forced to change to the Asura God Sense.
Old Tang's nature would naturally develop along Asura's path as well. The Divine Sense and will of a schemer would naturally be a schemer too.
Since he had a consciousness of his own, how could he be content to remain a mere avatar? He wanted to take the top spot, but his main concern was the strand of Sea God Divine Sense inside Tang Yin. If it struck back with its dying breath, that would be unpleasant.
For now, it's best to let the Silver Dragon King and the main body kill each other. Then I can sit back and reap the fisherman's reward!
"Old Tang, why?"
Tang Wulin didn't understand Old Tang's suggestion. Why should he agree? Old Tang fell silent for a moment, seemingly searching for the right words, and soon found a reason.
"Aren't you short of money to buy Spirit Items? This works out perfectly. You can get paid and join Class Zero to receive resources for your cultivation."
Tang Wulin thought that made sense. Little did he know that Old Tang only wanted to win Wu Bingyu's favor, join Class Zero, and stay with his Xiao Wu.
He would make the main body a useless husband!
Elsewhere, Tang Yin was in Long Hengxu's office expressing his desire to join Class Zero when he suddenly heard a cow moo. He was baffled.
"Student Tang Yin, since you want to join Class Zero, please rely on your own abilities. If you can get good results in the Class Promotion Tournament, you'll qualify to join."
Long Hengxu frowned deeply at Tang Yin's change of attitude. Back then, Tang Yin had said he intended to join either Shrek or the Tang Sect. Why had he suddenly changed his mind and decided to join Class Zero? Long Hengxu really disliked someone so fickle.
Tang Yin lowered his head slightly. Long Hengxu actually refused to let him join Class Zero and be with Xiao Wu. He already had a way to die! But the Class Promotion Tournament...
He slowly walked out of the dean's office and looked up at the sky. In perfect sync with him, Old Tang in Tang Wulin's Sea of Consciousness also looked up. Both had steadfast looks in their eyes, their minds made up.
"I'm going to join Class Zero and be with my Xiao Wu! No one can separate us!"
