The answer revealed

They were not the only ones anticipating the answer. Naturally, the participants inside the space looked forward to it even more than the people on the continent.

Everyone tilted their heads back, waiting for the answer to appear on the sky screen.

Tang Ya was so excited that her body trembled slightly. She clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands, as though the reward were already before her eyes.

The sky screen is so powerful that its rewards definitely won't be ordinary. With one for me and one for Junior Brother, we'll surely be able to restore the Tang Sect to its former glory.

Seeing that the answer was about to appear, Tang Ya grew so excited that she grabbed Huo Yuhao's little face and began kneading it.

Huo Yuhao was also looking forward to the sky screen's reward. He had never forgotten why he had ventured out into the world alone.

His hatred for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had already been carved into his bones.

Getting the sky screen's reward will definitely make me stronger. It will definitely let me destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

As he waited for the answer, he clenched his fists so tightly that they had begun to turn white. Only when Tang Ya started kneading his little face did his composure crack.

"Teacher Xiaoya, stop rubbing my face. I can barely breathe."

Huo Yuhao's lips were pushed into a pout, and even his voice sounded distorted.

Tang Ya chuckled without stopping her hands.

"Little Yuhao, I was just worried you were nervous and wanted to help you relax."

For a moment, Huo Yuhao had no idea what to say. His teacher was clearly the one who was truly nervous.

Wang Dong stood off to the side, somewhat out of place beside the two. Rather than joining their antics, she gazed up at the sky screen alone, waiting for the answer to appear.

More than the reward, she was looking forward to the answer itself.

She remembered that, according to the history recorded by the Clear Sky Sect, the founding ancestor of the Tang Sect had belonged to the Clear Sky Sect but had not grown up there.

Had the other answers not been so outrageous, she would never have chosen this one.

Even she was uncertain.

Never mind them-even Ye Xishui was looking forward to the reward.

Although her strength unquestionably stood at the very pinnacle of this continent, the closer she came to the summit, the more despair she felt, because she could no longer see a path ahead.

Did Ye Xishui want to advance further?

Of course she did!

Who would not want to become a god like Tang San, the founding ancestor of the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago, and leave behind a legend that shook the continent?

Everyone wanted that, and Ye Xishui was no exception.

Yet no matter how she searched, she could never seem to find an opportunity to advance, as though taking another step were simply impossible.

Now, the appearance of this sky screen had truly given her hope. This was unquestionably power that only a deity should possess, and she did not want to miss this opportunity.

If anyone in this space truly held no anticipation whatsoever, it could only be the Silver Dragon King and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

The Silver Dragon King was so powerful that she did not believe the sky screen could offer any reward useful to her, which was why she felt little anticipation.

She did not stop to consider why the sky screen had been able to bring her here so effortlessly. Had she done so, she might have changed her mind.

At present, however, she genuinely had no interest in the sky screen's rewards. She simply intended to leave everything to fate; whether her answer was right or wrong did not matter.

It was easy to understand why the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King held no anticipation for this reward.

He knew that the answer he had chosen was definitely wrong, so he would not receive any reward at all.

Since he would get nothing, what was there to look forward to?

Nevertheless, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King still held out hope for the rewards the sky screen would offer afterward, because he wanted to avenge his husband.

He knew his own strength and understood that, without outside aid, he could never be a match for Sea God Tang San.

His hatred had made him willing to give up one reward, but his desire for revenge drove him to obtain the rewards that would follow.

The ordinary people who had been chosen were also looking forward to the rewards. Unlike the Soul Masters, however, they harbored no grand ambitions.

They only hoped to receive enough wealth to live comfortably.

As ordinary people, they occupied the lowest rung of the Douluo Continent. Without soul power, they could only struggle to survive on this continent.

Living comfortably was the greatest luxury they could hope for.

At last, beneath the expectant gazes of countless people, multicolored celestial light surged across the sky screen again, and a line of large words appeared.

The sky screen's voice rang out once more.

[The answer to the previous question is "three."]

[Tang San, the first sect master of the Tang Sect, was a soul from another world who crossed over to the Douluo Continent and entered a body in the womb.]

[Rewards will be distributed in three minutes.]

At this answer, the entire space-and the entire Douluo Continent-fell silent.

"Th-this is impossible! This is definitely fake. The sky screen is lying."

The joy on Tang Ya's face instantly collapsed, and her eyes filled with intense doubt.

She was not alone. The others in the space reacted much the same way, and Ye Xishui's face was also filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

She had thought this question was practically a sure thing. How could she have imagined that the sky screen would announce such an outrageous answer?

Never mind her-even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who bore a profound blood feud against Tang San, found this answer somewhat unexpected.

A soul from another world crossing over to the Douluo Continent was a fantastical tale beyond all fantastical tales.

Just how fantastical was it? So fantastical that even if Tang San himself had spoken this answer aloud, some people would still have doubted it.

However, not everyone expressed doubt. Wang Dong, who had read that part of history in the Clear Sky Sect, along with Mu En, Bei Bei, and the others who had read Shrek Academy's records, all chose to believe it.

These members of the two great powers had all read the accounts of that period ten thousand years ago preserved by their academy or sect.

As towering powers with legacies spanning over ten thousand years, their historical accounts had practically been written by eyewitnesses and were highly credible.

Had the answer offered by the sky screen not been so outrageous, they would not have hesitated so long over their choices.

Now that the sky screen had revealed the answer, they instead found it reasonable.

Among the Douluo Continent's historians, one question had plagued researchers for ten thousand years.

Why had Tang San, the founding ancestor of the Tang Sect, been so proficient with hidden weapons at such a young age?

This question had circulated for tens of thousands of years, yet no one had ever truly found the answer.

Now that the answer had appeared, those on the Douluo Continent who specialized in studying that period ten thousand years ago were utterly exhilarated.

These people had studied the life of Tang San, the founding ancestor of the Tang Sect, in extraordinary depth, from his birth to the time before he became a god.

Yet throughout their research into that history, they had never been able to understand why Tang San, the founding ancestor of the Tang Sect, had been so proficient with hidden weapons at such a tender age.

With the answer provided by the sky screen, the truth was now perfectly clear.

It turned out that he had already learned those things in his previous life.

Upon learning the answer to this question that had plagued them for ten thousand years, some historians wept with joy, while others rushed about spreading the news.

Amid the voices of doubt filling the space, a sudden cry of delight rang out, strikingly out of place.

"I got it right! Hahahaha, I got it right!"
