"..."
Not long after, at the student dormitory building, Tang Wulin entered his room with a smile on his face.
But soon, the moment he sat on his bed, his expression instantly turned grave, and then he gritted his teeth, his face showing undisguised anger.
Following this, he did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately lying down on the bed and focusing his mind to enter his own consciousness space.
"Hmm?"
"Wulin, why have you come..."
Tang San, dressed in a black robe, was stunned. He had just started to say something, but he saw the person before him arrive with an angry expression, teeth gritted in fury.
"Old Tang! Speak, what exactly is going on, and does it have anything to do with you!"
Tang Wulin was almost unable to contain his rage.
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to speak to Old Tang.
And this time, he was truly angry—a black-robed person, yet another black-robed person.
The attire was not much different from this Old Tang; these detestable black-robed people, especially since it wasn't enough to hurt him, they had even harmed his friend Xie Xie. How could they be so wicked?
"Wulin, this matter is a long story. Even I did not expect that someone would covet your bloodline so soon."
"If I hadn't acted earlier, something would have happened to you by now. Their strength is far beyond your imagination."
"I am already considering whether to have you leave Eastsea City; it is no longer safe here."
Tang San spoke with a helpless look on his face.
Even Di Tian had made a move; this was the strongest existence in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the only one truly approaching the god-rank. How could he have imagined that Wulin, who was only at the first ring, would encounter such a formidable enemy?
What he also couldn't imagine was...
Where were his parents?
Two true god-rank powerhouses—at this point in time, had they not yet shattered the origin of the Douluo Continent, and could they not sense Wulin?
"..."
Hearing these words from Tang San, Tang Wulin was suddenly stunned, and then he gave a cold laugh.
"Coveting my bloodline?"
"Old Tang, I hope you watch your words. This is not my bloodline; this is the Golden Dragon King Seal, sealed within my body, the Golden Dragon King that has a thousand threads of connection to you!"
He gritted his teeth and said angrily.
What did he mean by his bloodline? He was just an ordinary human; how could he possibly possess the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King if not because of the other party?
Even his friend Xie Xie had almost been harmed!
All his disasters, all his misfortunes!
They were all brought about by the person before him.
"You... child, I know you are very angry, but you shouldn't be taking your temper out on me."
Tang San was stunned, and for a moment, he couldn't help but fall silent in his heart. Was this what he wanted to see?
Wulin, why was he taking his temper out on him?
"Listen!"
"If it weren't for you, if it weren't for this inexplicable Golden Dragon King Seal, would I be like this?"
"I am just an ordinary person!"
"Old Tang, can you please let me go--"
Tang Wulin's eyes turned red. After gasping these words out, he returned to reality without a moment's hesitation, leaning against the side of the bed and crying out in grievance.
He didn't understand.
What exactly had he done wrong?
He worked hard at forging, worked hard to earn money, and worked even harder at cultivation, all just so he and his family could live a good life.
But now everything had changed.
He might not be able to live on properly, and even those around him would suffer persecution. Why did he have to go through all this!
He just wanted to live happily with his family!
The figures of his parents flashed through his mind, and Tang Wulin cried louder and louder. He was, after all, just a child; no matter how strong he was, he was only a nine-year-old child!
"Wulin..."
Tang San sighed. He didn't know how to comfort the child either. At a time like this, it was best to let the other party have some peace and quiet.
"Damnable Dragon Clan, damnable Beast Clan!"
"One day, after I return, I will slaughter you all until not a single one remains! Well, except for Xiao Wu!"
Tang San thought with a heart full of killing intent.
"..."
It wasn't until a while later that Tang Wulin, his eyes red from crying, checked the time in his dormitory, wiped away his tears, and headed outside.
A minute later, he had jogged downstairs and arrived at the playground.
He took his Thousand-Refined Heavy Silver Vest out of his Soul Tool; this was what he used specifically to forge his body.
Improving his physical fitness had always been a part of his daily routine, an essential practice alongside his forging and cultivation.
Ever since Lu Li had told him about this type of training, he had never once forgotten it, not even today.
As he thought about this, Tang Wulin skillfully put on the vest and began to run lap after lap, until, by the eighth lap, a second figure appeared beside him without him noticing.
"It's you again, little junior Tang Wulin."
A pleasant, melodious voice reached his ears. Tang Wulin looked over instinctively and saw a youthful, beautiful figure now running by his side.
She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, wore her hair in a lovely high ponytail, and was dressed in the uniform of a senior student, smiling brightly at him.
"Se, Senior..."
Tang Wulin was stunned and responded with a smile. Although it wasn't the first time they had met, but...
The senior was still so beautiful.
"You're doing well too..."
"Wait, something's wrong. Why have you been crying?"
Seeing his red, swollen eyes, the young girl was visibly startled. Her smile faltered and she stopped in her tracks instantly.
"You're so cute, it won't look good if you cry. Let big sister tell you, a real man shouldn't shed tears..."
The girl looked at him, speaking in a serious tone.
"I... I was just missing my family. I've never been separated from them before. Thank you for your concern, Senior."
Tang Wulin also stopped, revealing a shy smile as he replied earnestly.
"So that's it. I'm sure your mom and dad miss you just as much. You're such a good kid; as parents, they must find it even harder to be away from you."
The girl smiled as she looked at him and said this.
"Mom and Dad..."
"They must miss me a lot!"
Tang Wulin nodded seriously in response.
"That's the spirit. You're much better when you're cute and cheerful."
The girl smiled with satisfaction and spoke truthfully.
"Tha, thank you..."
Tang Wulin's face flushed red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You're so shy."
"Anyway, don't cry anymore. Oh, right, remember how I promised you last time? If we met again, I'd tell you my name."
"Remember this, your senior's name is Ouyang Zixin."
Ouyang Zixin smiled and patted his head, her face filled with care as she spoke.
"I'll remember it, Senior."
Tang Wulin nodded solemnly in response.
Under the setting sun, the boy's shy smile and the girl's vitality formed a sharp contrast, eventually blending together slowly.
"..."
The next morning.
"Since everyone is here, let's begin our lesson."
In the Zero Class classroom, Lu Li looked at the students present and smiled slightly.
"Yes, Teacher Lu Li. But why are you the only one here today? Where is Teacher Wu...?"
Tang Wulin and the others responded, but seeing only Lu Li, they couldn't help but ask with some confusion.
"Your Teacher Wu is currently going through a major event for this stage of his life. By the time he comes back, he won't be a six-ring Soul Emperor anymore."
Lu Li chuckled. Before coming here, he had checked, and at this very moment, Wu Changkong was still in his office absorbing the medicinal effects of the Mysterious Ice Grass.
"Teacher Wu is going to break through to become a Soul Saint?"
"That's absolutely wonderful!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up as they realized the significance of the situation.
They were all looking forward to his breakthrough and return.
"So, today's lesson will be conducted by me alone. It will still be a combat class, so follow me downstairs."
Lu Li smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Yes, Teacher Lu Li!"
"..."
"That's not right."
Not long after, when everyone arrived at the playground, they quickly realized something.
"Teacher Lu Li, Teacher Wu isn't here today."
"Are we..."
"Going to fight you?"
Tang Wulin suddenly thought of something, hesitating as he spoke.
"..."
It wasn't just him; at this moment, everyone realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"You...?"
"We're fighting you?"
Xie Xie stared with wide eyes, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi remained silent, and Wei Xiaofeng's jaw had already dropped to the floor. One by one, they were completely stunned, subconsciously swallowing hard.
The five Soul Masters and Soul Grand Masters of their Zero Class...
Fighting a Title Douluo?
"Big Brother Lu Li..."
Even Gu Yue hesitated at this moment, blinking her eyes. Her beautiful eyes held a complex expression, as if she were pondering whether all humans had such strange ideas.
Someone like Big Brother Lu Li...
Could also have such bizarre thoughts!
It seems that making him submit to me in the future will definitely be quite an experience, hmm?
A strange glint flashed in Gu Yue's eyes as she thought to herself.
"..."
