Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 136 You are Chen Zhou.

Wu Zhangkong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He realized that Zhao Song's purpose in this trip wasn't to take forceful action against Chenzhou, but rather to test and assess the strength and potential of the Robot Beast Chamber of Commerce. The Tang Sect's leadership had clearly realized that the rise of Chenzhou and the Robot Beast Chamber of Commerce was unstoppable. Rather than confront them, they should seek cooperation.

"Master Zhao, are you saying that the Tang Sect is willing to cooperate with the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce?"

Wu Zhangkong asked tentatively, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Zhao Song turned around, looked at Wu Zhangkong with a deep gaze, and said slowly, "Whether you cooperate or not, I must take Chen Zhou away for investigation."

"Don't worry, I can swear by the Tang Clan's ancestors that I will never harm his life. What do you think?"

Wu Zhangkong's heart sank slightly when he heard Zhao Song's words. Although he could hear a hint of easing in Zhao Song's tone, his attitude remained firm.

At this moment, his heart was extremely conflicted, and the squeezed complex emotions were constantly impacting his soul.

Zhao Song seemed to have noticed something. He sighed softly and said self-deprecatingly, "It's really embarrassing to think that I, Zhao Song, a dignified Titled Douluo, was sent to target a child who is only ten years old."

"but!"

Zhao Song seemed like a completely different person at this moment. His undeniable majesty emanated from him, and he said solemnly, "For the future of the Tang Sect, I must do this."

"This is also what Shrek Academy meant."

Those last words were the final straw that broke Wu Zhangkong's heart. His face paled instantly. He had never imagined that Shrek Academy would even be involved in this operation. As the continent's top academy, Shrek's influence was undeniable. If even Shrek sided with the Tang Sect, Chenzhou's situation would become extremely dangerous.

And he, Chen Zhou's teacher, was also a former student of Shrek Academy and a disciple of the Tang Sect.
Such a situation is a dilemma.
"Master Zhao, why did Shrek Academy get involved in this matter?"

Wu Zhangkong's voice trembled slightly. He couldn't understand why Shrek Academy would attack Chenzhou. Although Chenzhou was gifted, he was still just a teenager. Even if the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce behind him was rapidly rising, it wouldn't cause such a big reaction from Shrek Academy.

Zhao Song looked at Wu Changkong, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He said slowly, "Little Changkong, as a Shrek Academy graduate, you should be familiar with Shrek's purpose. Shrek Academy isn't just a place to cultivate talent; it's also the guardian of order on the continent. Any force that threatens to disrupt the existing balance will attract Shrek's attention. Chen Zhou's rise is not just about personal strength; the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce behind him is expanding at an unprecedented rate, even beginning to impact the entire continent."

"Both the Deputy Sect Leader and His Majesty Yun Ming believe that the Mechanical Beast Chamber's reckless behavior needs to be curbed. The Federation cannot continue in chaos."

Before Wu Changkong could reply, Zhao Song spoke first. He reached out and patted Wu Changkong on the shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "From now on, as a disciple of the Tang Sect, you will stay in this room. All matters in the outside world have nothing to do with you."

Wu Zhangkong's heart sank when he heard Zhao Song's words. He understood that Zhao Song was putting him under house arrest, preventing him from interfering in the ensuing events. As Chenzhou's teacher, he couldn't sit idly by while his students were targeted by the combined forces of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Yet, at this moment, he felt powerless.

"Master Zhao, do you really want to do this?"

Wu Zhangkong's voice carried a hint of reluctance and helplessness as he attempted a final struggle. Zhao Song didn't answer, but simply glanced at him indifferently before turning and leaving the room.

The door slowly closed in front of Wu Zhangkong, as if completely isolating him from the outside world.

Wu Zhangkong stood there, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that he could no longer change anything and could only watch as things developed in an uncontrollable direction.

The door is not locked
Even if it was locked, for Wu Changkong, who was at the level of Soul Emperor, it would be easy to break it with a wave of his hand.
But he couldn't get out.
The words "Shrek Academy" weighed on his shoulders like a mountain, immobilizing him. Wu Zhangkong stood in the center of the room, staring blankly at the closed door, a feeling of powerlessness filling his heart. He had never imagined he would one day find himself in such a dilemma.

On one side were the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect that he had once been proud of, and on the other side was his student Chen Zhou.

No matter which side he chooses, it seems to mean betrayal.

He hates betrayal!
Zhao Song's words kept echoing in Wu Zhangkong's mind, especially the phrase "Shrek Academy's intention." He knew very well that Shrek Academy held such a high position and influence on the continent that if they decided to intervene, there would be almost no force that could stand in their way.

Even the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce would probably be unable to withstand the combined forces of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

"Chen Zhou, what on earth did you do to cause such a big disturbance?"

Wu Zhangkong murmured softly, his heart filled with doubt and worry. He recalled Chen Zhou's performance in the arena; his calm demeanor, his strength far beyond his peers, had truly been astonishing. Even so, he didn't believe Chen Zhou's rise would threaten the status of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. Unless, of course, Chen Zhou was hiding a greater secret.

Wu Zhangkong's thoughts gradually drifted away. He recalled Chen Zhou's performance at East Sea College, the rapid rise of the Robotic Beast Chamber of Commerce, and the mysterious soul guide technology. All of this seemed to hint that Chen Zhou and the Robotic Beast Chamber of Commerce were more than they seemed.

It's not that he didn't understand politics, but he had been living in pain since Long Bing's death. He almost turned a blind eye to the outside world, even the changes in the nearby Donghai City.

But at this moment, he was eagerly searching his mind for everything that had happened in Donghai City in the past few months.

"You are Chen Zhou."

Looking up at Zhao Song, who looked like a mountain of flesh, Chen Zhou tilted his head to look at the Bibai Mountain beside him and said, "Could it be that the people from the Tang Sect have gone blind from practicing that inferior pupil technique? Why don't they remember the person's appearance before looking for them?"

Chen Zhou's tone was playful, as if Zhao Song was just an insignificant passerby. His attitude made Zhao Song's face darken instantly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Boy, you are quite crazy."

Zhao Song's voice was low and cold, carrying an undeniable pressure. As the head of the Tang Clan's Power Hall, he had never been so disdainfully treated by a young man. Chen Zhou's attitude made him extremely unhappy, even a little annoyed.
