Just as Wu Zhangkong had anticipated.
Although Leng Hanyuan held the title of teacher, he took absolutely no responsibility for any actual instruction.
The normal curriculum for Class 5 of the first grade continued to be led by Wu Zhangkong.
After all, Leng Hanyuan had only come to fulfill his own objectives.
He did not truly have any penchant for being a mentor.
Yet, even so, many people still sought to transfer into Class 5 of the first grade by any means necessary, drawn by Leng Hanyuan's reputation.
However, that old fox Yu Zhen was quite sensible.
Following Leng Hanyuan's instructions, he rejected them one by one.
"Teacher Leng, you are quite right; that child's parents are simply detestable!"
"To give birth without raising—they are not fit to be parents!"
Listening to the story Leng Hanyuan told during a casual chat about parents who abandoned their child, Tang Wulin clenched his fists, expressing his deep abhorrence for such behavior.
Regardless of the reason, it was no excuse for parents to give birth to their child and then fail to raise them!
Watching Tang Wulin's righteous indignation, a hint of a smile flashed in the depths of Leng Hanyuan's eyes.
Through the "intentional yet seemingly unintentional" cultivation of his worldview over these past few days, young Tang Wulin's perspective was already taking shape in the direction Leng Hanyuan desired.
At this moment, Tang Wulin had no idea that the story of the parents who gave birth without raising their child, as told by Leng Hanyuan, was actually about his own biological parents.
He was still viewing it from the perspective of an outsider, condemning and feeling angry toward these irresponsible parents.
Seeing this smooth development, Leng Hanyuan knew clearly that the divine consciousness Tang San had left within Tang Wulin's body had not yet been triggered.
After all, if Tang San knew about the "coincidences" he was discussing with Tang Wulin, he could not possibly remain indifferent.
He would take this opportunity to continue planting seeds within Tang Wulin.
"Wulin."
"Yes, Teacher Leng, what is it?"
Tang Wulin raised his head, his eyes, as beautiful as a girl's, looking at Leng Hanyuan with confusion.
Although Leng Hanyuan did not teach them anything, the miraculous traits he displayed casually in his daily life had already caused Tang Wulin to develop a sense of admiration for him.
If Tang Wulin's goal for progress had previously been Wu Zhangkong, then his goal now was Leng Hanyuan.
Wu Zhangkong's strength had elevated Tang Wulin's understanding to a new level.
And Leng Hanyuan's strength had given Tang Wulin his first real understanding of the peak powerhouses on this continent.
"Through my observations during this period, there seems to be something strange in your body."
Leng Hanyuan frowned, wearing an expression of "confusion."
Gu Yue, standing to the side, gave Leng Hanyuan an incredulous look upon hearing this.
She was, of course, aware of the anomaly in Tang Wulin's body.
It was nothing more than that Golden Dragon King bloodline of unknown origin.
However, Gu Yue had never told Leng Hanyuan about this, and she had not expected him to detect it himself.
Moreover...
Looking at the "confusion" on Leng Hanyuan's face, Gu Yue's intuition told her that this guy was definitely acting again.
He must already know what the anomaly in Tang Wulin's body was!
But at this moment, Gu Yue did not speak up to expose him.
"Something strange?"
Tang Wulin rubbed the back of his head.
A naive smile spread across his lips.
"Teacher Leng, I do indeed have some aspects that are different from ordinary people."
Tang Wulin recalled his innate superhuman strength and the changes in his soul spirit, Golden Scale.
He then thought of Leng Hanyuan's immense power.
For a moment, he also felt that there might indeed be something special within his body.
Seeing the look of "unintentional" worry on Leng Hanyuan's face, Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat.
After all, he was still just a child.
Seeing such a big figure as Leng Hanyuan display this kind of expression, he naturally began to feel nervous.
"Teacher Leng, what's wrong?"
"Is the thing in my body dangerous?"
Tang Wulin looked at Leng Hanyuan with nervous apprehension.
Leng Hanyuan pursed his lips and shook his head.
"I'm not entirely sure."
"But I can sense the immense threat posed by the thing lurking within your body."
"Once it erupts, given your current cultivation, I fear you will be left without a burial ground."
"However, fortune and disaster are two sides of the same coin; if you can manage to harness it for your own use, it will likely bring you an extraordinary opportunity."
Upon hearing these words, Tang Wulin's face turned several shades paler.
Left without a burial ground?
He subconsciously ignored the latter part of the statement, as that single sentence from Leng Hanyuan echoed incessantly in his mind.
Coming from a peak powerhouse, the impact of these words on a child was simply too great.
For a moment, even the composed Tang Wulin lost his sense of calm.
"How could this be?"
"How could there be such a thing inside my body..."
Tang Wulin murmured in a low voice.
His body trembled slightly.
This information was truly too cruel for a nine-year-old child.
Standing to the side, Xie Xie, who had a very close relationship with Tang Wulin, also turned pale.
He had never imagined that such a bomb was buried within his good friend's body.
"I am not sure, but that power should not belong to you."
"Rather, it was forcibly suppressed within your body through some method."
Leng Hanyuan revealed a bit more at the opportune moment.
Everything he said was the truth.
He merely used a bit of linguistic art to provide a slight nudge in direction.
Even Gu Yue did not notice anything unusual.
Because from her perspective, everything Leng Hanyuan said was indeed an absolute fact.
The Golden Dragon King bloodline did not belong to Tang Wulin.
And if it were to erupt, it would indeed leave Tang Wulin without a burial ground.
"It doesn't belong to me, and it was forcibly suppressed in my body..."
Confusion filled Tang Wulin's large eyes.
He could not understand what kind of ruthless person would use such a vicious method to destroy him.
He had clearly never offended anyone.
For a moment, fear and a hint of resentment were born within Tang Wulin's young heart.
Sensing the shift in Tang Wulin's emotions, a glimmer of success, unnoticed by anyone else, flashed through the depths of Leng Hanyuan's eyes.
He spoke again at the right moment, reaching out to ruffle Tang Wulin's small head.
"It's alright."
"When soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, cover it with earth."
"I will help you find a way."
"If you notice anything strange in the future, you must tell me immediately, do you understand?"
Leng Hanyuan said softly, his voice filled with "pity."
These words were like a beam of light, tearing through the darkness brought on by the sudden threat of death.
His eyes brightened, and as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes!"
That's right, there's still Teacher Leng!
For Tang Wulin, who was only nine years old, Leng Hanyuan, a legendary figure, was the most capable person he had ever met.
With his help, perhaps he could deal with the ticking time bomb hidden within his body!
In that instant, Tang Wulin's reliance on Leng Hanyuan reached its peak.
When he looked at Gu Yue, Leng Hanyuan's nominal student, he even felt a twinge of envy.
