The light inside Confinement Room was dim, and Tang San still couldn't believe that his father was actually arrested. Tang San knelt down in front of Tang Hao, looking at his father's thin and haggard face. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it took him a long time to make a sound.
"Dad... when were you arrested?"
Tang Hao's eyes moved slightly, looking a little blurry, as if he was recalling something long ago. He was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"The day you were rejected by that college..."
His voice was hoarse and low, with an indescribable tiredness.
"I saw you standing at the door and being turned away by them. Looking at the expression on your face, I knew that you must have been greatly wronged. I thought at the time... Since they didn't accept you and made you feel so wronged, I will ask for an explanation for you. My son, Tang Hao, is not someone who can be bullied."
Tang San's pupils shrank slightly and he stared blankly at Tang Hao.
"Then I broke in at night, thinking about smashing things up and teaching the blue-haired and golden-haired boy who bullied you that morning."
Tang Hao After saying this, he paused for a moment, and the light in his eyes dimmed a bit.
"But I didn't expect that there were people in that academy who were invincible to me. I couldn't leave. Even if I tried my best, I still failed, and then I was locked up here. Now, they put a special lock on my hand, and now I can't use it Soul Power."
He raised his wrist, and the chain made a clattering sound.
"Since then, I have been treated in various ways by them..."
Tang San's eyes turned red instantly. He bit his lips and clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.
He never thought that his father would do so many things for him and suffer so much torture without him knowing.
That day, I was still secretly angry at being rejected, but my father had already broken into the college alone to seek justice for himself.
But I didn't know about it at all. I even blamed my father in my heart after that. I was really unfilial!
Tang San's eyes began to turn red, he was panting like an ox, and he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely make this college pay the price!"
Tang Hao glanced at him and did not answer the question. Instead, he changed the topic and asked.
"What about you, how did you get in?"
Tang San's face suddenly became a little ugly. He lowered his head and was silent for a while before speaking.
"I... because I lost the competition, a crazy woman grabbed me by the collar and brought me in. She didn't say anything to me and just locked me up here."
Tang Hao frowned.
"Didn't tell you anything?"
Tang San nodded, his voice a bit aggrieved.
"She didn't say anything. I still don't know what she plans to ask me to do."
A murderous intent suddenly flashed in Tang Hao's eyes. Although the whole person looked weak, the sharpness that burst out at that moment still made Tang San's heart tremble.
"I guess... they want you to be like me."
Tang San was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Hao quite puzzled.
"Same? What do you mean?"
Tang Hao was silent for a moment, as if considering his words, and then slowly spoke.
"They have a method that can force people's consciousness into a special space. In that space, my strength will be suppressed to around the third ring, and then..."
He paused, and his tone became a little colder.
"Then a group of bastards from the academy will come in and fight me, using me as a sparring bag."
Tang San's eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Treat you as a punching bag?"
Tang Hao did not deny it, but nodded slightly.
"I couldn't get out, I couldn't escape. I would be pulled in every once in a while, sometimes for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. After I came out, my whole body hurt, as if I had been in a real fight."
When he said this, the topic suddenly changed.
"But... now that you've come in, it's not necessarily all bad."
Tang San raised his head and looked at him, quite confused. What does it mean that it is not necessarily a bad thing if he comes in? Is it a good thing to be beaten together?
Tang Hao's eyes fell on Tang San, and his tone was a little softer.
"Since you are also imprisoned, it means that you will also enter that space. When the time comes... I will teach you things in that space."
"I owe you a lot. I haven't taken good care of you these years. Now that I'm caught here, I have more time."
"I can teach you more practical skills, give you more ability to save your life, and make you stronger."
Tang San felt a lump in his throat when he heard these words.
He looked at his father's eyes that were tired but still filled with concern, and he felt an indescribable sourness in his heart. His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but found that he could not say a word.
In the end, he just nodded vigorously, his voice choked with sobs.
"Dad..."
Tang Hao looked at him and moved the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but couldn't pull the muscles on his face, so he finally spoke softly.
"Okay, stop talking and take a rest..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang San suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness coming over him, and the picture in front of him suddenly began to distort, as if something had been forcefully pulled out of his body.
He wanted to shout, but found that he couldn't even make a sound.
Then his vision went dark, and Tang San's consciousness completely sank.
I don't know how long it took before Tang San opened his eyes again.
What comes into view is a dense forest and fairly flat grassland. The air is moist and smells of earth and grass.
Tang San couldn't help lowering his head and looking at his hands. Isn't this similar to the place where Shrek Academy entered the entrance exam?
It is also a very real world, but I did not enter through the Virtual Pod, but was directly stripped of consciousness. In other words, is this an illusion?
Is it because my strength is not suppressed because I am the third ring Soul Master?
At this time, Tang San quickly realized that he was in a world built by others. In this world, he would be in danger. Tang San turned his head sharply, looking for his father.
"San..."
At this time, Tang Hao's voice sounded next to Tang San's ears. He still sounded quite tired, but his whole state was different from when he was in Confinement Room. At least he looked full of energy.
"Dad, have you recovered?"
Tang San looked at Tang Hao with some surprise.
"No, it's just that after entering this space, our state will be restored to its best, so that we can stay in the best state to take a beating!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and said, looking like he hated this Shrek Academy.
