Tang San, the Abyssal Sage King, and Gu Yuena: The Advantage Is Mine!

Gu Yuena secretly sighed. She had no ability to make a move against him right now. Moreover, without knowing what contingencies those God Kings had left behind, she could only probe slowly. Otherwise, the consequences would be hard to predict.

At that thought, she felt a trace of regret over her impulsive decision to undergo Transformation Re cultivation and lower her own strength.

Huo Yuhao discreetly observed her. Seeing that she had no intention of acting, he pondered for a moment before generously sending the information to Gu Yuena through Mental Sharing.

"The Lord of the Plane is surnamed Tang. The person who possesses the Golden Dragon King God Core is also surnamed Tang."

Gu Yuena's eyes shifted slightly as she said softly, "Thank you for the reminder."

Tang... Were both the Lord of the Plane and that child just now connected to Sea God Tang San? Was the Lord of the Plane the greatest contingency?

That truly was troublesome... If it were only the Lord of the Plane and her, they could simply determine the victor. But with the Abyss outside, if she and the Lord of the Plane fought to the death, the Abyssal Sage King would probably win without lifting a finger!

As she thought this, Gu Yuena looked up at Huo Yuhao and secretly clenched her fist. It's fine. I'm In the dark right now. Neither the Abyssal Sage King nor the Lord of the Plane has noticed me. As long as I reach a Cooperation with this God King... the advantage is mine!

In two other places, people had similar thoughts.

Tang San's Divine Sense, worried about losing more Divine Sense power, did not continue observing Tang Wulin outside and missed an opportunity for sudden realization. He secretly thought:

No matter how strange that petty thief stealing fate may be, once I reclaim the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and fully display the power of a God King, fighting alongside my parents will naturally allow Douluo Continent to return to the right track and complete my Ten Thousand Year Plan. The advantage is mine!

The Abyssal Sage King looked at Douluo Continent with a greedy smile. "A physical plane without a Lord of the Plane, one that does not even have a single God Tier existence within it... the advantage is mine!"

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao calmly walked toward the cafeteria without saying another word.

As everyone knew, a triangle was the most stable structure!

The Intermediate Division cafeteria was in a small building beside the main Teaching Building. The building had three floors, serving the six grades of the Intermediate Division. First and second years ate on the first floor. Based on the quality of ingredients, meals were divided into Grade A, B, and C.

Huo Yuhao ordered the best Grade A Meal and assessed his physical condition while eating.

He knew his body very well. That trace of Silver Dragon King Bloodline had increased far more than just his elemental affinity. It had also raised his appetite to some extent, or rather, his efficiency in absorbing and converting energy.

However, it could not compare to the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and since there was only a trace of it, the effect was limited.

As he thought about it, Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Yuena and saw that she was getting a second Grade A Meal.

"..."

No wonder she had come to the cafeteria. She really did want to eat.

That said, she should be able to control her appetite.

She had not eaten much at the Welcome Banquet earlier, and she was not Na'er from the time when she had lost her memories...

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and looked away.

Perhaps he now understood the fundamental reason Gu Yuena differed from his impression of her.

Night fell, and starlight spilled through the window onto the floor.

Gu Yuena lay on the bed, staring at the Soul Tool Communicator in her hand with tightly furrowed brows. Several times, she wanted to dial a few numbers, but she ultimately gave up. Turning over, she placed the Soul Tool Communicator on the table.

Not yet. Huo God King had merely told her about the most dangerous existence. That did not mean that person lacked other God Tier methods. No matter how powerful Huo God King had been at his peak, he could not possibly have been omniscient and omnipotent.

Sending Di Tian and the others to probe directly might get someone killed... She should wait until she had recovered some of her strength.

With that thought, Gu Yuena relaxed. Her long hair lay scattered over the pillow, her legs slightly bent, her toes resting against the bedsheet. Her entire posture was exceedingly languid, as though all her exhaustion had been released at that moment.

Her first time attending school, and with a reincarnated God King at that. What a strange experience...

Beep, beep, beep—

The sound of the Soul Tool Communicator made the gradually calming Gu Yuena open her eyes helplessly. She picked it up and answered.

"Bi Ji? What is it?"

However, the voice from the other end was not Bi Ji's gentle one, but a cool yet lively female voice.

"Master, I don't want to keep pretending anymore. Your Teacher is torturing me. He keeps wanting to meet the patriarch of the Hidden Family—the Ancient Clan. I'm being driven crazy. Why did we have to make things so troublesome back then? Wouldn't it have been enough to just use an ordinary Soul Master Family as our cover..."

"Hold it in."

Hearing the aggrieved voice, Gu Yuena's tone immediately turned cold. "You were the one who wanted to undergo Transformation Re cultivation, and you were the one who wanted to register your name as my Jiejie. Then endure it!"

A brat who went unpunished for a day would climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles.

She had been too good to this girl back then, which had ultimately forced her to swallow the consequences and greatly damaged her authority. She absolutely could not indulge her again!

Absolutely not!

"But the name sounds nice."

The person on the other end seemed to have merely been casually complaining. Upon hearing that, she immediately laughed.

"And I came up with it myself. Your surname, my name, and then the character Qiu... Even your Teacher said our family's name was well chosen and had a lovely charm."

He had merely been polite.

Thinking so, Gu Yuena did not discourage her. "Is there anything else? This is Bi Ji's number."

A burst of noisy commotion came from the other end.

"Let me talk to Master a little longer, Bi Ji."

"Enough, Miss Gu Ruiqiu. You are no longer the Auspicious Beast. You are the representative of the Hidden Family, the Ancient Clan. You are not familiar with us. Hurry and leave to participate in the Spirit Pagoda meeting as the representative of the newly joined Ancient Clan."

"...If I'd known turning into a human meant having to do this sort of thing, I would have kept being that whatever-it-was Peace Ambassador."

As her footsteps faded along with her muttering, Bi Ji took the Soul Tool Communicator and smiled helplessly before speaking softly.

"Sorry to disturb you, Master. There is something I wish to report. The Far North Branch has once again sent the White Bear King to attend the headquarters meeting. Snow Empress has not appeared. By now, she has not shown herself in public for decades. Could she have already..."

"No need to worry about her. The timing of her disappearance was extremely telling. She likely underwent Transformation Re cultivation, and she should have already returned to her peak."

Gu Yuena glanced toward the room on her right and murmured, "Willing to abandon eight hundred thousand years of cultivation to start over... What did this God King promise her?"

"???"

Bi Ji's eyes gradually went blank.

What was Master talking about?

What God? What King? Why couldn't she understand any of this?

Master had only gone to study at East Sea...

"You don't need to concern yourself with it. Rest." Gu Yuena came back to herself, paused, then said, "Good night."

"All right, good night..."

Looking at the disconnected Soul Tool Communicator, Bi Ji's heart churned violently. In the end, she forcibly pushed those two terrifying terms out of her mind and turned instead to Snow Empress's situation.

Having completed Transformation Re cultivation with over eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, Snow Empress had likely advanced even further. Compared with Di Tian wearing Four-Word Battle Armor and Sky Pillar Douluo, the Number One Person on the Continent... how strong was she now?

In Huo Yuhao's room, he sat cross-legged on the bed in meditation. When midnight arrived, he asked within his Sea of Consciousness, "Elder Yi?"

"No powerful existence has come to the Academy."

Hearing Elder Yi's answer, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seemed that he would not be seeing any familiar faces anytime soon.

He had deliberately not told Gu Yuena about Tang San's Divine Sense because he wanted to observe her personality and way of acting.

Miss Gu Yuena was indeed very cautious. She had not sent any Beasts over, nor had she acted personally. He apologized for previously doubting her intelligence.

However, Gu Yuena herself had not acted, which meant she truly could not freely recover her strength.

Elder Yi had also not detected any fluctuations of Divine Sense power surrounding Tang Wulin today. Tang San's Divine Sense probably still had flaws.

Two core pieces of intelligence, confirmed.
