Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 134 Tang Wulin's Showdown
Watching Cai Yue'er leave in a disheveled state, Xiong Jun snorted disdainfully and returned to the top floor.

When Xiong Jun looked at them, Tang Wulin immediately straightened his back, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Xiong Jun, his face full of "my master is the most powerful" expression, which made Xiong Jun very satisfied. He stepped forward and patted his head, "You are my disciple. On this continent, there are not many people who can touch my disciple, Xiong Jun."

Tang Wulin suddenly felt a lump in his throat, nodded vigorously, and said in a slightly choked voice, "Thank you, teacher."

He was genuinely terrified when Cai Yue'er unleashed her final aura.

Seeing this, Xiong Jun gently patted his shoulder with his rough hand before turning to look at the others, his gaze lingering on Gu Yuena for a moment longer. "You little ones are also under my protection since you are my disciple's friends."

Xie Xie was so excited he almost jumped up, but Luo Yanglu grabbed his shoulder to keep him from losing his composure. The latter let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Thank you, Tower Master Xiong Jun, for your help."

"Let's skip the formalities. That's enough, everyone disperse. Leave the negotiations with Shrek Academy to me." Xiong Jun waved his hand. "I'll wait for them here and see if the next one dares to be so arrogant."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yanglu looked around at the rooms that were in terrible condition and said with a wry smile, "Then we'll take our leave."

This matter is likely to escalate significantly today.

Ignoring Shen Yi, who was sweating profusely in the corner of the room, the group left directly.

But after a while, Gu Yuena came back in after Shen Yi "escaped" from there.

"Lord."

Xiong Jun, who had remained in the area, bowed to Gu Yuena.

"Ah."

Gu Yuena nodded calmly and said, "There's something I need to remind you about, it's about Tang Wulin..."

Upon hearing the information provided by Gu Yuena, Xiong Jun's expression changed slightly, but he quickly thought of something else and asked with a strange look, "My lord, may I know the source of this information?"

This intelligence contains obvious subjective conjecture. If he couldn't deduce it himself, then it's clear that the Lord couldn't deduce it either... cough cough, we can't think of it that way.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, "I will tell you when the time is right."

The Lord has a secret.

This was Xiong Jun's first thought. His second thought was that it was best not to delve too deeply into it, so he nodded and said:
"I understand."

Gu Yuena nodded with satisfaction.

She knew it; she, the Silver Dragon King, was full of majesty.

Seeing Gu Yuena's soft and cute nodding gesture, Xiong Jun seemed to see the scene of her being taught and cared for by them when she was a child, learning common sense about humans. He subconsciously took out a storage ring.

"My lord, are you short of money? Have you been eating well lately? I have all sorts of local specialties from Xingdou here."

"very good……"

Gu Yuena answered instinctively, then realized what she had done, and her cold expression crumbled.

His authority crumbled in an instant.

……

While Gu Yuena and Xiong Jun were exchanging information, Tang Wulin approached Huo Yuhao and, amidst the latter's puzzled expression, revealed a look of reminiscence.

"Dad and Mom are doing well, and the Spirit Pagoda is taking good care of us. Don't worry about us, just go to the competition and try your best to get good results. Our Wu Lin is a renowned genius in forging."

The gentle words spoken by parents before their departure.

"Boss, why are you always so biased towards Sister Na and Wu Lin? You can't just prepare food for them because they're big eaters. I want some too."

The scenes of the students in Class Zero playing and eating together are always joyful and heartwarming. "Wu Lin, your cultivation speed is not bad. You've increased eight levels in a year and are already level 19."

Without Teacher Luo and the Spirit Pagoda's care, how could he have increased his soul power by eight levels in just one year, given his cultivation speed?
“You are my disciple. On this continent, there are few who can harm my disciple, Xiong Jun.”

Teacher Xiong Jun's protectiveness.

……

Tang Wulin recalled all his recent experiences, and finally the scales tipped to one side. He said solemnly, "Yuhao, there was a voice in my head that kept trying to teach me to be a bad person. It even taught me Shrek Academy's motto."

Although his parents said that he shouldn't generalize from an individual's perspective to the collective, Wu Lin didn't have a good impression of Shrek Academy's recent behavior, not to mention his feelings about the school motto.

Huo Yuhao, who had been thinking Tang Wulin wanted food and was about to grab it, was speechless.

Is it not the one he's imagining?
Tang Wulin felt much more relaxed after speaking his first words, his expression complicated. "I roughly know who that person is, but he helped me before, and I didn't know whether I should tell others."

"However, if he is a bad person, I feel like I am a time bomb, which may harm everyone someday in the future, so I want to talk to you about it."

He knew it was wrong to judge Lao Tang's character based on mere guesswork, and that he might have misunderstood him, but he was always hesitant. What should he do when the problem suddenly became apparent?
Moreover, even if "Old Tang" isn't a bad person, the fact that he can teach him in his sleep suggests that there's another entity within him.

"When it's time to make a decision, make a decision" is a principle that Teacher Luo taught him; one cannot keep waiting for a crisis to erupt.

Of course, this was also partly due to his own selfish motives. He had a strange premonition that if he kept this matter hidden and didn't resolve it, his current happy life would gradually slip away...

Thinking it over, Tang Wulin recounted the story of the Golden Dragon King's sealing in detail.

"..."

Tang San, you've been betrayed.

Huo Yuhao tried his best to keep a straight face to avoid showing any strange expression.

"You've been looking at the soul-guided light screen all the time, except when you're eating, and that's what you've been thinking about, right? You're talking to me today because Shrek Academy's recent actions have made you increasingly wary of them?"

“Hmm,” Tang Wulin nodded, his expression grave. “If Old Tang is a good person, it means there’s a bad person inside me. If Old Tang is a bad person…”

At this point, Tang Wulin paused, sighed, and didn't continue. He just stared at Huo Yuhao, wanting to know his advice.

He's been very anxious lately ever since he had that suspicion...

Huo Yuhao: "...You shouldn't have asked me. Do you think I can handle this?"

"I just want to hear your opinion, Yuhao."

Seeing Tang Wulin's somewhat nervous expression, Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment before saying, "The answer is in your heart, not in mine..."

A moment later, Tang Wulin approached Xiong Jun, who was also feeling complicated.

He didn't know how to solve it before, after all, that kind of thing was too incredible and not something an ordinary person could solve.

But things are different now.

The top expert on the mainland, Master Xiong Jun, took him as his disciple. If even he couldn't solve this problem, then no one else could.

This is also a major reason why he came out.

Teachers are like fathers; if even the teachers at the Spirit Pagoda cannot be trusted, then there are few people in this world who can be trusted.

Today—the showdown.

(Tang San's divine sense: "Wu Lin, you don't want to!")
