Tang Wulin's Breakdown

Seeing Huo Yuhao's serious, almost solemn expression, Na'er smiled easily.

The smile was bright and natural, as if the discussion wasn't about a life-or-death matter, but merely a trivial question of where to go for a trip tomorrow.

Her tone was light and cheerful, with a touch of girlish playfulness. "Don't worry, I'm confident, besides..."

She blinked her big purple eyes. "I wouldn't joke about my own life, would I?"

Huo Yuhao looked at her like this and remained silent for a moment.

He did not immediately agree to the matter.

He came up with the solution, so naturally he has to be responsible for everyone involved.

He would feel uneasy if anything unexpected happened to Na'er during this process.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked directly at Na'er.

"Would you mind if I investigated further?"

Na'er was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this.

She didn't answer directly, but turned her head to look at Gu Yue.

After Gu Yue nodded slightly, Na'er turned around and smiled at Huo Yuhao, "Come on!"

Huo Yuhao witnessed this scene.

His curiosity grew even stronger: what exactly was the relationship between Gu Yue and Na'er?

But he didn't ask, and now wasn't the time to ask.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Na'er's wrist.

Although Huo Yuhao possessed the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, he couldn't detect anything on his own.

In the crucial moment, it was still Electrolux who had to step in.

In Gu Yue and Na'er's eyes, Huo Yuhao simply placed his hand on Na'er's wrist, his eyes slightly closed, without making any other movements.

But in reality, his mind had already sunk into the Spirit Sea.

"Teacher, how is it?"

Deep within the Spirit Sea, Electrolux slowly opened his eyes.

A thoughtful glint flashed in those deep eyes.

A moment later, his aged yet calm voice rang out.

"She does indeed possess the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and I sense that the power of this bloodline within her seems to be somewhat related to that of Tang Wulin."

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

He quickly pressed on, "So, does that mean Na'er can inherit the bloodline power within Tang Wulin?"

Electrolux nodded, a faint smile appearing on his aged face.

"Your little girlfriend is right. This girl is indeed the most suitable person to inherit the bloodline power within Tang boy."

Hearing the teacher's teasing remark, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but blush.

What little girlfriend... Teacher is really something...

He muttered something to himself, but did not refute it.

Outside, Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand and slowly opened his eyes.

Gu Yue and Na'er both stared at him, their eyes, one black and one purple, filled with anticipation.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the two of them and calmly uttered a few words: "There shouldn't be any problem."

That evening, soft Soul Guidance Lamp illuminated the Cultivation Room of Class Zero at the Eastsea Academy.

At this time on ordinary days, Tang Wulin would be the only one in the Cultivation Room.

He always trained hard here, sweating profusely, until late at night before dragging his exhausted body back to the dormitory.

But at this moment, three more figures appeared here.

It was Huo Yuhao, Gu Yue, and Na'er.

Tang Wulin stood in front of the three of them, opened his mouth, and made no attempt to hide his surprise.

His gaze swept back and forth across the three faces, finally settling on Huo Yuhao.

"How... how did you know?"

His voice was a little dry, and tinged with disbelief.

He thought that only he knew about his bloodline crisis, since he had never mentioned it to anyone.

Even Xie Xie, who was his closest friend, only knew that he cultivated diligently, but he didn't know that he was risking his life.

But just now, Huo Yuhao said he could solve his bloodline problem.

How could he not be surprised?

In fact, it wasn't just them; even their teacher, Wu Changkong, had guessed some of it.

However, Wu Changkong has not yet found a solution, so he has not made it clear.

Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Wulin and smiled.

"Don't forget, who woke you up last time you were unconscious."

Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback, recalling the incident from a few months ago, and immediately had no doubts.

At the same time, an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up from the bottom of my heart.

He grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm, his voice trembling slightly. "Yuhao, do you really have a way to solve my bloodline problem?"

He was exhausted during this period. He cultivated desperately, daring not to stop for a moment or slack off in the slightest.

Huo Yuhao's words were like a lifeline thrown to a drowning person, something he desperately wanted to grasp.

Huo Yuhao looked at him, his expression turning serious.

"I wouldn't say I'm completely certain, but I'm about 80% sure."

80%!

These two words sounded like heavenly music to Tang Wulin's ears.

A look of joy instantly appeared on his face, and his eyes lit up.

But then, that joy faded.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.

Then he clenched his fist, then relaxed it, then clenched it again.

"Yuhao, Gu Yue, and Na'er," he said, his voice hoarse, "Thank you."

"But let me think about it."

He looked up at the three of them. "I will give you an answer tomorrow."

When it comes to matters of life and death, it's understandable to be cautious.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Okay, then we'll come find you again tomorrow."

Before leaving, Huo Yuhao stopped beside Tang Wulin, reached out and gently patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder.

Don't overwork yourself.

He left those words behind and turned to go.

The door to the Cultivation Room slowly closed, separating the two worlds inside from the outside.

Tang Wulin stood still for Jiujiu.

The tension that had been building up inside Tang Wulin finally broke down when Huo Yuhao said, "Don't overwork yourself."

He stood there, watching Huo Yuhao and the other two disappear at the end of the corridor, and his eyes suddenly felt a little sore.

After Huo Yuhao and the other two left, Tang Wulin also left the Cultivation Room and returned to his dormitory.

Night had fallen, and the campus was quiet, with only a few guiding streetlights casting a dim yellow glow.

His footsteps echoed on the empty road, one after another, like some kind of silent counting.

Although Huo Yuhao was young, Tang Wulin was impressed not only by his genius but also by his composure far beyond his years.

He said he was 80% sure, and he really was 80% sure.

Therefore, Tang Wulin believed Huo Yuhao when he said he had a way to solve his bloodline problem.

But... he still needs to confirm with someone.

Back in the dormitory, I closed the door, shutting myself off from everything outside.

Tang Wulin sat down on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and sank his mind into the Spirit Sea.

"Old Tang! Old Tang!"

A moment later, a phantom figure slowly appeared.

The figure's face was obscured, but the outline of an adult male could be vaguely discerned.

He was enveloped in a faint light, as if he might vanish at any moment.

This was the Old Tang that Tang Wulin had mentioned, but what he didn't know was that this person's true identity was an Avatar of his biological father Sea God Tang San.

Tang Wulin was about to speak when Tang San raised his hand to interrupt him.

I know what you're going to ask.

Tang San's voice was unusually calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"What are you thinking? If we fail, our Life God could be in danger."

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Wulin stared intently at the illusory figure, his gaze resolute. "I'm going to give it a try."

"At my current cultivation speed, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the power of my bloodline after the next seal is broken in a year."

He knew better than anyone how violent and dangerous the power suppressed within him was.

He was practicing desperately, but he was simply racing against time.

But no matter how fast he runs, he may not reach the finish line of this track.

Since death is inevitable either way, why not take a gamble?

An 80% chance of success is already quite high.

Tang San fell silent, then his voice rang out again, deeper and more complex than before.

"Since that's the case... let's give it a try."
