Tang San Cheated?

[Douluo Continent's Most Melancholy People, TOP 7: God King Tang's child, Wang Dong]

[BGM: One phone call split the world in two, yet we never met. The figure in the mirror sometimes wore red makeup. Who hurt you, shattering your face...]

Seeing that the eighth most melancholy person was supposedly God King Tang's child, everyone was stunned.

There was actually a God King in this world.

Why would a God King's child appear on this list of the most melancholy people?

So far, Chrysanthemum Douluo was the only one born a commoner.

Did commoners really have it that hard?

By the lakeside at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Phainon watched the Sky Curtain and could not help sighing.

"I never thought it would be her."

Qian Renxue clearly caught his remark. Narrowing her eyes, she asked,

"Brother Phainon, do you know her?"

Phainon shook his head. "I don't."

He thought to himself,

I've never even seen her. How could that count as knowing her?

Qian Renxue curled her lip.

Pretend. Go on, keep pretending.

By now, she had more or less figured it out.

The Sky Curtain had to be connected to Phainon!

That mask had to be the key!

How else could the Sky Curtain have appeared right after Phainon fished out the mask?

But Phainon was not talking, and she could hardly keep pressing him.

Otherwise, she would not be wasting time fishing with him now.

With a change this momentous, her time was precious.

Yet her instincts told her she had a better chance of learning the truth by staying beside Phainon.

To her, that truth mattered more than hunting down Xiao Wu.

Meanwhile, in the world of Douluo II, ten thousand years later.

Before the Soul Master Tournament finals.

Huo Yuhao gazed at the Sky Curtain with envy.

"The Sky Curtain's rewards are incredible."

"If we could get those rewards, we'd have a much better shot at winning the finals."

"But it looks like only people from ten thousand years ago can make the list. It has nothing to do with people like us."

He asked Electrolux, "Do you know where it came from?"

Within Huo Yuhao's mental world, Electrolux answered gravely,

"The Sky Curtain's power is beyond anything I know. It must be the creation of something above the gods."

Huo Yuhao was not disappointed.

The Sky Curtain hung there, untouched by any of the continent's great powers. That said it all.

Elsewhere in his mind, the million-year soul beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm yawned.

He had never expected to see the Sky Curtain outside from within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

The Sky Curtain really was extraordinary.

But what did that have to do with him?

He might as well sleep.

The Sky Curtain appeared again, and Huo Yuhao saw the new message.

TOP 7 Most Melancholy: God King Tang's child, Wang Dong.

He turned toward Wang Dong beside him.

"Wang Dong, this person has the same name as you," Huo Yuhao teased.

Wang Dong curled her lip. "Who knows?"

The most melancholy person? How could she possibly be melancholy?

She was a God King's daughter, born with talent among the very best on the continent. What did she have to be melancholy about?

Right now, she was riding high!

The Soul Master Tournament finals were just around the corner. If she won, Shrek Academy would probably sing her praises for years!

Aside from Huo Yuhao standing there and making her want to punch him, there was nothing melancholy about her life.

But God King Tang... Why did that sound so familiar?

[Ten thousand years later, Shrek Academy had become the most famous academy on Douluo Continent.]

[Wang Dong was Shrek Academy's Campus Beauty and Handsome Boy. Yes, disguised as a boy, she claimed both titles.]

[Before anyone coined the word "tsundere," we called her Wang Dong.]

[Pink-and-blue hair and eyes.]

[Brimming with spirit! Gifted beyond measure! Every inch a youthful hero!]

[She even had Twin Martial Souls!]

[The Light Goddess Butterfly! Dazzling and beautiful!]

[The Clear Sky Hammer, with strength beyond measure!]

[Bold and spirited, she was a young genius who charmed boys and girls alike!]

[Her background gave her every reason to be confident. She was God King Tang San's daughter, the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect. Every member of the original Shrek Seven Devils was her elder after ascending to godhood. Showered with so much love, how could she not be proud?]

When they saw this,

people in the world of Douluo I, ten thousand years ago,

and the world of Douluo II, ten thousand years later,

were all stunned.

In the world of Douluo I.

In the Sunset Forest.

Tang Hao had just killed a Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

When he saw the Sky Curtain, he stared at Tang San in shock.

"Little San, you actually became a God King?"

Tang Hao burst out laughing.

As he saw it, the Sky Curtain meant one thing:

he, his son Tang San, and the Clear Sky Sect had come out on top!

Tang San was bewildered too.

Had he become a God King ten thousand years in the future?

He could hardly believe it.

I'm that incredible? How come I never knew?

Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, was beside himself with joy.

Laughing, he clapped Tang San on the shoulder.

"Haha! Little San, well done! You actually became a God King."

"Doesn't that mean I taught a God King?"

He thought,

Who would dare look down on me now?

Me, Yu Xiaogang, the continent's foremost Theory Grandmaster—a man with a reputation I don't deserve?

Yu Xiaogang then looked at the other Shrek Seven Monsters.

"And you all became gods too! Doesn't that mean I, Yu Xiaogang, taught seven gods?"

At the thought, he could not stop grinning.

An ordinary person would be remarkable for teaching even one Titled Douluo. Yu Xiaogang had taught six gods and a God King.

Being born on Douluo Continent had truly held him back.

If he had been born in the Divine Realm, who knew what he could have accomplished?

Once that thought took hold, Yu Xiaogang's imagination ran wild.

His disciples had all become gods. Perhaps he was a teacher in the Divine Realm too.

What would they call a teacher in the Divine Realm?

A God Teacher?

Ning Rongrong was speechless.

Gangzi, teaching seven gods? At his level?

If not for Brother San, she would have given Yu Xiaogang a tongue-lashing long ago.

But Xiao Wu's eyes were red.

Ten thousand years from now, Brother San already had a child.

And his child was named Wang Dong.

Did that mean Brother San's lover's surname was Wang?

She shook her head. Wang Dong sounded like a boy's name. Since the girl was disguised as a boy, it could be an assumed name.

Then another detail caught her attention.

The child's Martial Souls were the Light Goddess Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer.

Her own Martial Soul was the Soft Bone Rabbit.

If the child were hers and Brother San's, the Martial Souls should be the Clear Sky Hammer and the Soft Bone Rabbit!

At the thought, Xiao Wu's face turned bitter.

Of course!

I was only fooling myself!

Brother San must have fallen for someone else.

He found a beautiful woman with a Butterfly Martial Soul!

Then again, Brother San became a God King. Of course he'd have other women.

Meanwhile, even Tang San, dense as a block of wood, noticed that Xiao Wu alone looked unhappy amid everyone else's excitement.

Puzzled, he asked,

"Xiao Wu, aren't you happy? We all became gods in the future."

To the side, Dai Mubai waggled his eyebrows.

"Little San, you still don't get it? That child of yours in the future might not be yours and Xiao Wu's."

Tang San felt as though lightning had struck him.

He froze.
