Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 244 Xie Xie: Wu Lin, your enemy might be a Limit Douluo
"What's that look in your eyes?"

Ye Xinglan frowned slightly when she saw Xie Xie casting a strange look at her.

"nothing."

Xie Xie looked away and shrugged. "Everyone from Shrek Academy is here, except our leader. Can't I even say something?"

"He and we are no longer on the same level, and what he's doing is far beyond our reach. Don't even think about it." Ye Xinglan walked past Xie Xie indifferently.

Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, unusually not having the urge to refute.

After all, what the other party said is true.

Moreover, this is a diplomatic mission representing the Federation, so it's not appropriate for either side to clash. A few words are fine; we're not like the children of the past who had to argue until things got heated.

Not intending to talk to Ye Xinglan any longer, Xie Xie turned to his good friend, "Wu Lin, what's wrong with you lately? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Tang Wulin snapped out of his daze and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I'm probably just too tired from cultivating lately."

Xie Xie looked at him suspiciously: "Really? You've been so absent-minded these past two days, even spacing out while eating."

"Really not..."

Seeing Xie Xie's disbelieving look, Tang Wulin sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "My father said that if there is a chance, I should find someone in Xingluo to help him deliver a thank-you gift to express his gratitude for the person who sent me away from Xingluo back then. But as you know, I haven't had a chance to leave here these days."

"The contact information my father gave me seems to have been abandoned by that person, and I can't reach him using Xingluo's soul-guided communicator either. So I'm a little worried. Although Dad said not to force it, it would be good if his wish could be fulfilled."

"So that's it..."

Halfway through his sentence, Xie Xie's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, you mean your father was a Star Luo person?"

Tang Wulin nodded slightly.

He only found out before he went to Xingluo. It seemed that Teacher Xiong Jun had talked to his father about something, and that's when his father told him that he was originally from Xingluo.

He said he had experienced a major change and left this place when he was very young. With the help of some people, he smuggled himself to the Douluo Federation.

However, Tang Wulin always felt that the other party was still hiding something, such as the details of that great change.

But since Tang Ziran didn't say anything, Tang Wulin obediently chose not to ask.

Xie Xie gasped, looking Tang Wulin up and down with a strange expression. "Why does your profile look so much like a protagonist in a revenge novel?"

Tang Wulin was taken aback, and said speechlessly, "What are you talking about?"

“Think about it. Since your father was forced to leave Xingluo, it means he must have been wronged. Maybe he used to be a genius Soul Master, but he was framed and lost his former strength. He had no choice but to hide his identity and leave his hometown. He met your mother in the Douluo Federation. Then he had you, his genius son, and rose all the way up to embark on a journey of revenge.”

Xie Xie became more and more excited as he spoke, gesturing wildly, "This plot perfectly fits the classic formula of a genius falling into obscurity - his descendants rising up in triumph!"

Tang Wulin gave him a deadpan look. "And then? I came to Xingluo, supposedly to get revenge and slap someone in the face, right? So where is my enemy?"

Xie Xie was taken aback, then stroked his chin and pretended to think, "According to the plot development, such villains are either direct descendants of a large family, specifically used for the protagonist to practice in the early stages, or they are a big boss who appears throughout the entire story."

"Your father is quite old, so it should be the latter, right? Maybe he's a Limit Douluo? If that's the case, we shouldn't be able to meet him now; at most, we'll run into his underlings."

Tang Wulin: "..."

They make it sound so real.

My dad is just an ordinary person. How could he possibly be connected to a Limit Douluo?
If that's really the case... he'd eat three extra bowls of rice every day until he bursts.

"Read fewer novels. My father left Xingluo when I was young, so how could there be a story of a genius falling from grace?" Tang Wulin sighed and patted Xie Xie on the shoulder. "Besides, our opponents now are Xingluo students, not subordinates of my father's enemies. The competition is about to start, let's go."

As for the benefactor who saved his father back then, Tang Wulin could only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​finding him.

Tang Ziran's father's memory of that past event was hazy; he only remembered a name and an outdated contact method, and couldn't even clearly recall what his benefactor looked like. With such scattered clues, finding the person was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

That's understandable.

In Huo Yuhao's opinion, who was in the know, it was already a miracle that Tang Ziran was able to grow into a mentally sound person with a correct set of values ​​after witnessing her mother's tragic death. It was really unreasonable to ask for more... Tang Wulin gently shook his head, dispelling unrealistic thoughts.

We can't possibly alert the Star Luo Federation over this, can we?

She is quite clear about her own identity and will not forget the uproar Huo Yuhao caused in Xingluo.

Acting rashly will not only be of no help, but will also cause unnecessary trouble for the Spirit Pagoda.

Now all I can do is pray in my heart that my benefactor is safe.

……

"Ah."

Seeing her elderly teacher sneeze, Feng Linwan handed her a cup of hot tea, her tone full of concern.

"Teacher, are you feeling cold?"

The old man rubbed his nose, waved his hand, and laughed, "It's alright, it's alright. Perhaps someone is talking about me."

Feng Linwan shook her head helplessly: "You're always like this. You're clearly getting old, but you still don't take care of your health."

The old man smiled silently, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and gazed out the window with a distant look, as if he were reminiscing about something.

After a long pause, he suddenly spoke: "Lin Wan, do you remember the child I once told you about, the one I saved in the Star Luo Federation decades ago?"

"I remember you said you sent him to the Douluo Federation."

"Yes, do you want to go?"

Seeing that Feng Linwan was stunned for a moment, the old man smiled and said, "Recently, a delegation from the Douluo Federation came to Xingluo for exchanges. You've also heard about life there from various rumors, haven't you?"

Feng Linwan fell silent upon hearing this.

He had indeed heard a lot of rumors, such as the amazing sight of humans and beasts living in peace in the Douluo Federation, the highly advanced soul guidance technology, and the fact that ordinary people could also enjoy a high quality of life.

Some people in the organization are even saying that this place is hell, and that place... is heaven.

"Teacher, do you want me to leave Xingluo?"

Feng Linwan raised her head, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"Think about it."

The old man sighed softly, his gaze kind and profound: "I am old, but you are still young. If you have the opportunity to go to a better place, why be stuck here?"

Feng Linwan clenched his fist and whispered, "If our Dawn Society succeeds, perhaps we can help Xingluo embrace the future."

The old man shook his head. "Don't fantasize about things you yourself aren't sure about. The Dawn Society is doomed to fail."

Before Feng Linwan could say anything more, an alarm sounded.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Feng Linwan's expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly. "Teacher, I'll go take a look!"

Watching Feng Linwan leave in a hurry, the old man's eyes remained calm, as if he had expected it.

"Sure enough, it's here."

He took out a soul-guided communicator, dialed a number, and said in his mind:
“Ancestor of the Soul, you have been in our family for a long time. I believe in the future you describe. You can’t lie to me.”

"When have I ever lied to you... Oh, by the way, that number is wrong. I'll tell you the correct number to contact them."

"..."

This is just lying to me; you never believed me in the past!
