At night.
Zhao Wuji chuckled.
"Just my bad luck. But I'll have to give Tang San some proper training from now on. Jade needs carving to become a fine piece, after all."
Suddenly, a voice rang out. "Zhao Wuji, come out."
Someone unknown had suddenly challenged him in the middle of the night.
Zhao Wuji chased after him in anger.
At first, when he saw the mysterious cloaked man challenging him reveal two yellow Soul Rings, he couldn't help chuckling.
That was it!
And he dared to challenge the great Zhao Wuji?
But then the mysterious cloaked man revealed seven more Soul Rings-purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red-and Zhao Wuji was dumbfounded.
How could he possibly defeat a Titled Douluo?
Even having Flender come out to save the situation was useless, because this mysterious cloaked man was Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo!
Zhao Wuji had beaten the son, so Tang Hao, as the father, naturally came out and gave Zhao Wuji a beating.
That night.
Zhao Wuji's agonized cries rang out through the grove.
Zhao Wuji got a thorough taste of the Clear Sky Hammer's might.
The world of Douluo I.
Shrek Academy.
Watching this scene, Zhao Wuji went numb.
His bullying of someone younger had been exposed, and now his getting hammered by the Clear Sky Douluo until he howled had been exposed too.
His reputation as Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Wisdom King, was utterly ruined.
Meanwhile, Tang San looked at Tang Hao.
He couldn't help feeling warmth in his heart.
"No wonder Teacher Zhao Wuji's face was swollen like a pig's head the next day."
"I thought the poison had flared up. I never imagined it was you who beat him, Dad."
Tang Hao waved a hand and said, "Zhao Wuji dared to hit my son. He deserved a beating!"
Apart from Ning Rongrong, everyone else couldn't help feeling envious as they watched this scene.
To them, having a father who fiercely protected his own like that was wonderful.
The worlds of Douluo II and Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.
Watching this scene, everyone couldn't help sighing.
"Now that's how the Clear Sky Douluo should carry himself."
"What kind of man spent every day drinking himself senseless and relied on a child like Tang San to support him?"
The modern world.
In the living room.
Tang Wutong couldn't help looking radiant as she hummed smugly.
"Peerless battle-soul hammer, towering Clear Sky Sect!"
"Hehe, now you know how formidable my grandfather is, right?"
"The Clear Sky Hammer is the world's number-one tool martial soul."
Seeing Tang Wutong's smug expression, Qian Renxue said flatly,
"Don't you only have the Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul?"
"You don't have the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Tang Wutong grew even smugger as she said,
"Hehe, I have twin martial souls. I have the Clear Sky Hammer too."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help looking surprised.
"You actually have twin martial souls?"
Tang Wutong nodded guiltily.
Gu Yuena couldn't help seeing her in a new light too.
Although twin martial souls were no longer particularly rare in her era,
having twin martial souls ten thousand years earlier was still quite impressive.
Lin Hao couldn't help looking at Tang Wutong too, teasing her.
"Twin martial souls?"
"Actually, Tang Wutong, you might look a little dim."
"But you're not exactly honest either. You actually have triple martial souls. Isn't your third martial soul the Sea God?"
With her secret exposed, Tang Wutong couldn't help growing a little flustered.
As she saw it, even without Soul Power, her third martial soul was a wisp of her father's divine sense, so it would surely save her life in danger.
Now Lin Hao had actually exposed it.
But Tang Wutong was still the Divine Realm's young lady, after all. How could she possibly back down?
She retorted,
"I'm not the only one hiding things."
"Qian Renxue said she was Xue Qinghe at first."
"And I don't think Gu Yuena is simple either. From the way you two were exchanging meaningful looks just now, it's obvious there's some secret behind Gu Yuena's identity."
"You even told her to keep me in line."
"Could she be some powerful soul beast who transformed into a human too?"
Qian Renxue also immediately revised her understanding of Tang Wutong.
She had thought Tang Wutong was simply foolish. Now it seemed there was a trace of cleverness mixed into that foolishness.
But she didn't care in the slightest.
As Lin Hao continued his revelations, Tang Wutong's and Gu Yuena's secrets would surface anyway.
Gu Yuena said calmly,
"You never asked about my identity."
"You were the one focusing all your fire on Qian Renxue from the start."
Tang Wutong froze for a moment, then thought back. That did seem to be the case.
Seeing how Gu Yuena had diverted Tang Wutong with just a few words, making her forget to keep asking about Gu Yuena's identity,
Lin Hao couldn't help feeling black lines cover his forehead.
He had just thought Tang Wutong had shown some cleverness, but now it seemed she had only shown a little.
Even the Silver Dragon King, with her wisdom in worldly affairs, could casually fool Tang Wutong.
He couldn't help feeling that Young Lady Tang was still far too naïve and overbearing.
She had been protected too well in the Divine Realm.
Seeing that expression on Lin Hao's face,
Tang Wutong pouted and said,
"Are you looking at me like that because you think I'm a liar?"
Lin Hao sighed and said,
"No, I just feel sorry for you. I think you've been very well protected."
"Perhaps coming here through a spatial rift was a stroke of luck for you."
Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena couldn't help growing very curious too.
Why had Lin Hao said that?
Tang Wutong curled her lip and said,
"Now that I'm here, even Daddy probably can't find me, and you call that lucky? How is that lucky?"
But Lin Hao said very seriously,
"At least you don't have to worry about your father laying hands on you and turning you into a patchwork monster in the end."
"Looking at it now, your grandfather might even be a little better than your father."
Lin Hao couldn't help thinking that although Tang Hao was a lousy father, at least he had been useful later on.
But Tang San, after becoming a God King, really was far too much of a beast!
He could even lay hands on his own daughter.
Tang Wutong couldn't help widening her eyes as she said,
"What did you say?"
"How could my dad possibly do anything to me? That's absolutely impossible."
"And turn into some patchwork monster? What does that mean?"
Although Tang Wutong had come to trust Lin Hao a little, they had known each other for less than a day, after all.
When Lin Hao told her she was a character in a novel, Tang Wutong had believed him about eighty percent.
But the one thing she absolutely could not believe was that her father would do anything to her.
After all, in her heart, her daddy had always been a hero, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, a hero of Douluo Star, the mighty Sea God and Asura God, and, above all, a father who adored her!
Qian Renxue couldn't help frowning too.
"To be honest, I was quite envious of you before, having two parents who loved you."
"But now, it seems that isn't quite the case."
Tang Wutong couldn't help glaring at Qian Renxue as she said,
"My dad couldn't possibly be like that!"
Qian Renxue naturally offered no comment.
She looked at Lin Hao. She knew he must have some basis for saying this.
At that moment, Lin Hao first posed a question.
"Let me ask you something first. Are you planning to sneak off to Douluo Star? By my reckoning, it should be happening around now."
Tang Wutong couldn't help widening her eyes as she said,
"How do you know?"
She had always heard stories about her parents' time on Douluo Star and was very curious about all sorts of things in the lower realm.
After all, that was where her parents had met, gotten to know each other, fallen in love, and finally become gods. How could she not be curious?
Compared with the boring Divine Realm, Douluo Star sounded much more fun.
Lin Hao laughed inwardly.
How do I know? Isn't it obvious if I work out your age?
He continued,
"Because next, your father, God King Tang, will seal your memories of the Divine Realm, and you'll take the alias Wang Dong and enter Shrek Academy disguised as a boy."
Tang Wutong's eyes widened as she said,
"Daddy is going to seal my memories? Is he trying to give me some tempering?"
"Why do I have to disguise myself as a boy to go to Shrek Academy? Does Shrek Academy no longer accept female disciples?"
