Apprenticeship?

Just as Er Ming had expected, Tang San had definitely left safeguards on his daughter to protect her. But Er Ming had not expected that this power would also be used to alter his own daughter, all so she could be tied to the boy before her.

A ferocious glint flashed in Er Ming's eyes. He wanted to smash Huo Yuhao to death with one punch. If he killed the brat, Dong'er could not possibly remain entangled with him, right?

Huo Yuhao felt his entire body stiffen. The man before him seemed to transform into an incomparably terrifying Fierce Beast, staring him down without blinking.

"Second Father!"

Wang Dong stepped in front of Huo Yuhao and anxiously called out to her suddenly enraged Second Father.

"Dong'er, don't worry. I was saying that a certain bastard deserves to die, not this kid."

Er Ming forced a smile onto his face.

..."Cough, cough."

In the God Realm, a man with long blue hair draped over his shoulders could not help coughing twice.

"God of the Sea, are you all right?"

The god behind the blue-haired man asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I merely expended rather too much power protecting the God Realm."

Tang San gently shook his head to indicate that he was all right, though inwardly, he was thrilled.

Taking advantage of that fleeting weakness in the spacetime fluctuation, he had just connected with one of the safeguards he had left on his daughter and helped alter her body.

According to the previous arrangements, his daughter had already arrived at Shrek Academy, and the Child of Destiny should have entered as well. Then, she would be able to form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the person around her whose fortune was strongest. In the end, the Child of Destiny would still become linked to the Tang family's fortune.

It was just that he still could not establish contact with the lower realm, nor could Tang San use the God Realm Central Hub to observe Douluo Continent. That left him somewhat uneasy.

"God of the Sea, why don't you go rest first?"

The Goddess of Life spoke, a gentle smile on her face.

The God Realm was not large, and the gods were all acquainted with one another. However, the Goddess of Life held the position of God King, so few of the lesser gods dared spend time with her. As a result, she generally lived alone in the Forest of Life.

Although the God of Destruction kept her company, she still interacted with gods far too rarely.

But ever since the God of the Sea had ascended to the God Realm with his wife, the Goddess of Life had grown quite fond of Xiao Wu, who was brimming with vitality and often came to play with her.

Xiao Wu had long complained that Tang San had not returned to rest in a very long time. As Xiao Wu's friend, the Goddess of Life did not mind offering a small helping hand.

Tang San pondered for a moment and realized that he had already gained nearly enough prestige. Forcing the image of someone helping despite being injured would instead be counterproductive. After all, this spacetime fluctuation was not a major matter, merely an exceptionally troublesome one.

Realizing that resting was the better choice at the moment, Tang San nodded in agreement, bid farewell to the gods, and returned to his palace.

"Third Brother, you're back!"

At the sight of that long-missed blue figure, Xiao Wu's heart leaped with joy. She instantly teleported straight into Tang San's embrace.

"I happened to be resting today, so I came back to spend some time with you, Xiao Wu."

Tang San still wore that gentle smile that had remained unchanged for ten thousand years.

"Yay!"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, but worry soon appeared on her face again.

"Third Brother, I wonder how Xiao Qi, Da Ming, and Er Ming are doing."

After such a huge incident, Xiao Wu naturally knew that they could no longer contact Douluo Continent. She was deeply worried about her daughter and her two younger brothers.

"Don't worry. Da Ming and Er Ming both possess the strength of god officials. No one on Douluo Continent can harm them. With them protecting her, Xiao Qi will certainly be safe and sound."

Tang San stroked Xiao Wu's soft, flowing hair. A faint gleam flashed through his blue-gold eyes.

"But I still miss them so much."

Xiao Wu kept muttering under her breath. Her daughter had only been gone for a few days, but how could Xiao Wu, a first-time mother, not worry when it was the first time her daughter had been away from her for so long?

"And Da Ming and Er Ming too. Once we can contact them again, I'll definitely remind them how formidable Sister Xiao Wu is. They're always so busy, and every time we just happen to miss each other."

Xiao Wu clenched her little fists, wrinkled her nose, and said indignantly.

Although she knew Tang San was an enforcer god, she had never been a rabbit who followed rules and laws in the first place. Since Tang San had said it was for the good of Douluo Continent, Xiao Wu naturally could not be bothered to think too deeply about it and had grown accustomed to such rule-breaking matters.

"All right, all right. I'll definitely inform you next time. I'll also have Xiao Qi chat with you."

Tang San felt a little guilty. After all, Xiao Qi's consciousness had already been sealed, and for the moment, she had no memories of him or Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu."

Tang San's voice was somewhat low, and flames seemed to burn in his eyes.

Xiao Wu sensed Tang San's gaze. Her face flushed, but she did not say anything.

It was just that she always passed out halfway through, which left Xiao Wu both embarrassed and unwilling to accept it. She was eager to try again and wanted to defeat Tang San.

Tang San's lips curved slightly upward. Having finally used one of the safeguards he had left on Douluo Continent, he also wanted to use the full authority of the Asura God to establish contact with Douluo Continent.

After all, the flow of time between the God Realm and lower planes differed. He might lose the chance to control the Child of Destiny, and that required him to merge with Xiao Wu as one, while only his own consciousness remained awake.

Xiao Wu always said her head hurt afterward, but Tang San had no choice. His control over the Asura God's divine position was not particularly deep, so he could only use his spiritual power to forcibly knock Xiao Wu unconscious at that time.

The room's door slowly closed, and Tang San began working hard to establish contact with Douluo Continent.

Inside the dormitory, the three looked at one another in silence.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were completely baffled, unable to understand what had happened. They could only feel the Soul Power within their bodies slowly circulate as their auras intertwined.

Er Ming was also at a loss. He realized that Tang San had completely changed. To achieve his goal, Tang San would even lay hands on his own daughter.

Since Tang San's safeguard could be triggered, perhaps that bastard could still observe Douluo Continent. Er Ming did not dare take Wang Dong straight back to the Clear Sky Sect. That would truly be walking into a tiger's den.

At the same time, he worried that Tang San would attack him and his brother for disobeying his orders. Without their protection, who knew what that bastard would turn Dong'er into? Sister Xiao Wu would be heartbroken.

"But... the Child of Destiny?"

Er Ming looked Huo Yuhao over from head to toe. Soul Power of barely over ten ranks, a frail body, a weak Martial Soul—aside from that unknown power within him and a passable mind, he had no other strengths. He was worlds apart from Tang San's configuration ten thousand years ago.

But the previous Child of Destiny had been Tang San, and he now possessed the positions of two gods.

Er Ming felt that he could imitate Tang San. The children were still young, anyway. Tang San had bound Dong'er to him, but how he would be nurtured was a matter for Er Ming and his elder brother.

If this Child of Destiny also became a god someday and happened to hate Tang San, then perhaps there would be an opportunity. Besides, Er Ming would absolutely make sure this brat remained wholeheartedly devoted and obedient to Dong'er. Dong'er's future would be secured as well.

Er Ming could not help wanting to praise himself for his own wisdom. Everyone said he was simple-minded, but he still had brains.

As for what Huo Yuhao thought, who cared? At the very least, neither Tang San nor Er Ming cared.

"Brat, do you want to take me as your master? I'll train you."

Er Ming's thick, powerful hand landed heavily on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. The muscles all over his body were knotted like coiling dragons.

"Huh? Take you as my master?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with confusion, and his mouth fell open involuntarily.

A Limit Douluo wanted to accept me as his disciple?

Within the plane's space, a sphere of light continued spinning as it condensed a hand and gave itself a thumbs-up.

As expected of me. I directly found the Child of Destiny a Limit Douluo master to protect and guide him.

As everyone knew, Xiao Wu was a sword sheath.
