"No need."
"Just arrange some teaching position for him. He can teach a class with me."
Leng Hanyuan pointed at Wu Zhangkong.
Yu Zhen did not refuse and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"No problem."
As long as Leng Hanyuan did not want his position as principal, Yu Zhen could agree to anything.
In truth, even if Leng Hanyuan did want his position as principal, there was nothing Yu Zhen could do about it.
After hearing this, Wu Zhangkong gave Leng Hanyuan a surprised glance.
If he had not possessed some self-awareness, he would have truly thought that this Grand Elder of the Spirit Pagoda had come for him.
Meanwhile.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were running around the field in iron garments made of chains according to Wu Zhangkong's instructions, also noticed the scene.
"What's going on?"
"Who is that young man?"
"Why does our principal seem so respectful toward him?"
Xie Xie moved close to Tang Wulin and asked in a low, gossiping voice.
"I don't know."
Tang Wulin shook his head.
Although he was running in an iron garment, the Golden Dragon King bloodline had greatly improved his physical fitness.
Tang Wulin did not appear to be struggling much at the moment.
He could speak relatively smoothly as well.
He was also very curious.
Just what was the background of that young man, who looked barely over twenty?
He had actually made their principal behave so respectfully.
Even Teacher Wu Zhangkong, who was usually taciturn and as cold as an iceberg, seemed to have an unusual attitude toward him.
After completing the running target Wu Zhangkong had assigned them,
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie walked over.
By then, Yu Zhen had already left.
Only Leng Hanyuan and the other two remained there.
Xie Xie asked with a grin,
"Teacher Wu, who is this big brother?"
After all, Xie Xie was still a child at this point and could not hide what he was thinking.
His curiosity was practically written all over his face.
Wu Zhangkong maintained his usual cold expression and gave a concise introduction.
"This is Leng Hanyuan, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Pagoda, and he will also be one of your teachers from now on."
"He will teach you alongside me."
The Grand Elder of the Spirit Pagoda?!
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie cried out in alarm almost at the same time.
They had heard of that position as well.
Recently, the older students at the academy had been enthusiastically discussing this newly added position within the Spirit Pagoda.
Especially Xie Xie.
He had always been rather fond of gossip.
His family also had some connections and channels.
So he had long since found out what this newly established position meant within the Spirit Pagoda.
Although Tang Wulin was not interested in such gossip, he had still learned a little about it from his conversations with Xie Xie.
It was an existence on the same level as the Spirit Pagoda's master.
This was a great figure far beyond their reach!
Someone who truly stood at the pinnacle of power across the entire continent!
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both felt as though they were dreaming.
They clearly had not expected someone of this status to come teach at Eastsea Academy, much less become a teacher for their class.
For a moment, both of them could not help growing nervous.
They lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Leng Hanyuan's radiance.
Facing such a great figure truly made the pressure feel overwhelming.
Leng Hanyuan curled his lips as he looked at these two members of the original protagonist group.
Especially Tang Wulin, the original protagonist.
Ice Empress's voice rang out within his spiritual sea.
"This guy is the son of Tang San you mentioned, the bearer of the Golden Dragon King bloodline?"
As the beings closest to Leng Hanyuan, the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow knew about Tang Wulin.
Leng Hanyuan had not hidden anything from them.
Thus, the two of them quickly guessed Tang Wulin's identity from the way Leng Hanyuan looked at him.
"Yes."
Leng Hanyuan replied to Ice Empress within his spiritual sea.
"He doesn't look much like Tang San."
"He doesn't seem as sinister as Tang San, either."
Ice Empress muttered.
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Ever since Tang Wulin was born, Tang San threw him into the lower realm. Tang San never raised him himself."
"He was always brought up by his foster parents in this world, so naturally he's different from Tang San."
Leng Hanyuan rolled his eyes inwardly.
The current Tang Wulin was like a blank sheet of paper, not yet stained by God King Tang's brush.
At that moment, Ice Empress came up with an interesting idea.
She suggested it with great interest,
"Then how about we teach him properly?"
"Cultivate values completely different from Tang San's."
"When Tang San returns and sees that his own son does not agree with his actions, won't his expression be quite entertaining?"
Ice Empress gave a sinister laugh.
Clearly, she held no small amount of resentment toward Tang San, who had disregarded the rules of the God Realm and forced them to wait ten thousand years before they could begin their grand plan.
"I think Bing'er has a point."
Snow Empress spoke up calmly as well.
Clearly, even the usually detached and desireless Heavenly Snow Woman harbored resentment in her heart.
"Mm..."
Leng Hanyuan pondered for a moment before giving his answer.
"We can try."
Ice Empress's suggestion was indeed not bad.
Tang Wulin had not yet been influenced by Tang San.
If they deliberately guided him, it would not be impossible to create a scene of "fatherly love and filial devotion" in the future.
When Tang San saw his own son attacking him, his expression would surely be very interesting.
Moreover, there was truly much room to maneuver here.
After all, many of Tang San's actions could not withstand close scrutiny.
Most of them stemmed from his own interests rather than a father's duty.
For example, ten thousand years ago, he split the soul of his daughter Tang Wutong and tied Huo Yuhao, the child of destiny at the time, to the Tang Family's ship.
And Tang Wulin...
The Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body appeared to have been something the Golden Dragon King did to retaliate against Tang San during that God Realm incident.
But was that really the case?
Could it really not have been Tang San deliberately scheming for the Golden Dragon King's power?
If Tang San could even scheme against God of Destruction, another God King, could he truly have failed to scheme against the Golden Dragon King, who had been sealed in the God Realm for so long and possessed little rationality?
Because of the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him, Tang Wulin could not remain in the God Realm, where immortal spiritual energy was present, and was sent to the lower realm.
And it just so happened that Tang San had laid plans ten thousand years earlier to scheme against the Abyss Plane and strengthen the Douluo Plane.
Under the pretext of caring for Tang Wulin, he also sent his own father and mother down from the God Realm.
Along with the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, who were soul beasts.
And it just so happened that he had his mother Ah Yin take control of the Tree of Life of the Douluo Plane, while his father Tang Hao seized the position of the plane's master.
Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?
Was it truly out of consideration for his biological son, or had he treated his biological son as a tool to turn the Douluo Plane into his true backyard?
All of this was well worth examining.
Thus, Leng Hanyuan was actually quite confident that he could make Tang Wulin and Tang San turn against each other, putting on a grand show of fatherly love and filial devotion later on.
"Heh heh heh..."
At that thought, all three of them in the spiritual sea burst into laughter in unison.
