Tang God King Makes His Move...

"Yuhao, let's eat together!"

Just then, Wang Dong came over to Huo Yuhao and said cheerfully.

After saying that, she even draped an arm over Xiao Wu's shoulder.

Wang Dong also said that she really liked Xiao Wu and wanted them to become best friends who could talk about anything.

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched slightly.

But he knew he couldn't agree to Wang Dong's request. Thinking about the reward, he paused for a moment before speaking.

"Oh, you two can eat first. Teacher Zhou needs to talk to me about something, so I'll go look around for a bit."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao gave Xiao Wu a look, signaling for her to keep Wang Dong occupied.

Xiao Wu was a little confused, but she obediently did as he asked.

Then she started asking Wang Dong all sorts of questions, finding out what tasty dishes the cafeteria had.

Wang Dong thought about it, then nodded. She waved at Huo Yuhao before leaving with Xiao Wu, whom she inexplicably liked.

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. He headed toward the teaching building.

He planned to live off campus.

He had a place of his own in Shrek City, so he could go straight home at night and commute to school.

Some students at Shrek Academy whose homes were nearby had made the same arrangements.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn't want to share a room with Wang Dong and risk being schemed against by Tang San again. That would be bad.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, in the Divine Realm.

It was still the middle of the night here. After all, a day in the Divine Realm was a year on Douluo Continent, and the difference in time was simply a fact of life.

Tang San stood quietly. Suddenly, he sensed something unusual in the fortunes of Douluo Continent, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Excellent. My daughter has gotten close to that Child of Destiny, and the bond between that Child of Destiny and my Tang family's good fortune has grown stronger still."

But soon, Tang San's brows furrowed slightly.

"What's going on? Why has the connection between this Child of Destiny and my daughter inexplicably grown more distant again? This won't do. Absolutely not!"

As Tang San spoke, he sensed something and abruptly looked toward a spot not far behind him.

There, the God of Destruction was watching Tang San with a relaxed air.

Noticing Tang San's gaze, he raised an eyebrow. "What is it, Tang San? Why are you looking at me like that? Want to call me 'Daddy'?"

Tang San gritted his teeth. "Have you interfered with what I'm doing again?"

The God of Destruction curled his lip. "Don't go around slandering me. If you can't shit, use your hand to dig it out."

Tang San drew a deep breath. He felt the God of Destruction was perfectly capable of doing something like that.

At the same time, he added the God of Destruction to the ranks of those following the Way of Seeking Death.

Of course, Tang San knew he had to be patient for now.

Then Tang San spoke again. "I hope you know what's good for you."

The God of Destruction narrowed his eyes. "Come on, let's go outside and fight."

Tang San took a deep breath and held himself back.

He didn't want to fight the God of Destruction.

Though Tang San had been a figure in Douluo Planet's history a thousand years ago, only a little over thirty years had passed in the Divine Realm.

The God of Destruction was still an old-school God King. Though Tang San was now a powerful being with two gods united in one, he wasn't sure he could gain the upper hand if they actually fought.

Besides, the God of Destruction had plenty of First-Level Gods under his command. Dai Mubai and the others might not be able to deal with them.

Tang San let out a cold snort and stopped paying attention to the God of Destruction, turning his focus back to Douluo Planet.

His figure flickered, and he moved somewhere else.

Here, he couldn't sense the God of Destruction spying on him.

After a moment's thought, he sent another vast decree from a God King down to Douluo Planet.

No matter what, he had to draw the Child of Destiny on Douluo Planet into his camp.

Anyone who stood in his way was following the Way of Seeking Death!

In the distance, the God of Destruction saw Tang San's little maneuver and suddenly scoffed, muttering, "Scoundrel!"

But then—

The God of Destruction chuckled again. He wouldn't let Tang San have his way.

Tang San had refused to support his plan to expand the Divine Realm. What a shortsighted fool!

The God of Destruction began to ponder. It was about time he found someone to inherit his legacy...

Meanwhile, elsewhere on Douluo Planet.

Time passed quickly, and before anyone knew it, night had fallen.

Shrek Academy.

Liu Erlong had lived up to everyone's expectations. After arriving at the teaching building, she demonstrated her Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and shared some knowledge about Martial Souls.

The teachers were very pleased. They even proposed that Liu Erlong join the Shrek Outer Court as a teacher, offering her extremely generous terms.

But Liu Erlong refused. She made it clear that she still intended to build her own school.

She also pointed out that Shrek Academy had no rules forbidding anyone from building another school.

This left the teachers in a quandary.

To be honest, Shrek Academy cared about its reputation and wanted to show how magnanimous it was, so it couldn't openly refuse her.

They also really didn't want to let Liu Erlong go.

Fortunately, the teachers weren't left to agonize over it for long.

The academy's higher-ups suddenly agreed to Liu Erlong's request.

Clearly, Mu En had a hand in it.

The reason Mu En did this was simple. First, he found Liu Erlong rather unusual.

Second, he could observe everything Liu Erlong did, and wanted to see what would set the academy she built apart.

In short, Mu En had only two words on his mind: curiosity and investigation.

The teachers and students also figured that even if Liu Erlong built an academy, it still couldn't compare with their number-one academy on the continent. At most, she was just playing around, so they agreed without much fuss.

Then Liu Erlong met up with Huo Yuhao. After explaining what had happened, she left.

Huo Yuhao, meanwhile, gritted his teeth and headed toward the dormitory, looking thoroughly dejected.

Not long ago, Huo Yuhao had asked Zhou Yi for permission to commute from home. According to the academy's rules, Zhou Yi had naturally agreed.

But his good fortune didn't last. The academy suddenly announced a new rule.

To improve teaching quality and encourage friendly interaction among students, the commuter-student policy was being abolished.

Huo Yuhao was so exasperated that he laughed. He didn't even need to guess that this was probably the work of a certain "Hydrogen God King."

But the most frustrating part was still to come.

Huo Yuhao asked Zhou Yi to change his dorm room, but that particular section of the dormitory suddenly collapsed.

Zhou Yi could only tell him that the dorm arrangements would stay as they were and no changes would be allowed.

There was nothing he could do.

Huo Yuhao could only make his way toward his original dorm room, one step at a time.

As for Xiao Wu, she had been assigned to the girls' dormitory.

And her roommate turned out to be Xiao Xiao.

Soon, Huo Yuhao reached his dorm room on the second floor.

An old man was still sitting outside the dormitory, dozing with his eyes closed.

Huo Yuhao saw him and his mouth twitched.

But he didn't hesitate. He pushed the door open.

The moment he did, he saw Wang Dong.

Wang Dong looked rather embarrassed, her face slightly flushed as she instinctively covered her chest.

Of course, she was still fully dressed. Covering her chest had just been an unconscious reaction.

She looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Hey, Huo Yuhao, I didn't want to share a dorm room with you in the first place."

"But your room collapsed, and Xiao Wu and I get along pretty well. You're also on good terms with Xiao Wu, so I suppose a friend of a friend can count as a friend."

"So I'm reluctantly letting you stay here for now. Otherwise, I'd have fought you. You'd have to beat me before you'd be allowed to move in, got it?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. "Right, you're absolutely right. Otherwise, you'd definitely have challenged me."

"Anyway, if you don't need anything, I'm going to sleep. Just do whatever you want and pretend I'm not here."

Without another word, Huo Yuhao took a set of bedding out of his Storage Soul Tool, kicked off his shoes, and climbed in...
