Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 35 Uncle Bai, I heard you don't have a son. My father doesn't care about me either, so I hope…

Just as Zhao Yuanbu had made up his mind to get closer to Bai Qingshan and then find a reason to acknowledge him as his father.

He returned to his office and saw Zhang Zhao kneeling on the ground.

"Uncle Bai, I heard that you don't have a son. My father has too many sons and doesn't want to take care of me. I hope to take care of you in your old age."

Zhao Yuanbu: "..."

Isn't your father the Censor-in-Chief and Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices? Why are you arguing with me about what to say?

Zhao Yuanbu wanted to curse. He never expected that Zhang Zhao, whose fifth spirit ring was at the ten-thousand-year level, would recognize him as his father first.

The fifth spirit ring is already ten thousand years old. This kind of power already has no shortage of backers, right? Why would they want to compete with me for it?

Zhao Yuanbu was unaware of Zhang Zhao's situation. Although Zhang Zhao's father was the Censor-in-Chief and Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, he was very capable.

Because his father was too powerful, he single-handedly created a small family. The resources of the Censor-in-Chief and Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices were considerable, but they couldn't be divided among more than ten brothers and sisters. The legitimate sons and daughters would definitely get the lion's share, while the illegitimate children could only get the smaller portions.

It's already a small portion of resources, and if it's distributed among many people, by the time it reaches each individual, there's only a pittance left.

Zhang Zhao's fifth spirit ring, which is at the ten-thousand-year level, is the largest portion of the resources he received.

If he can cultivate to level 60, he might be able to obtain a sixth soul ring through the appreciation of the main lineage. If he can't, and has to cultivate to level 60 on his own, then he can forget about getting his ten-thousand-year sixth soul ring.

In a sense, Zhang Zhao had even fewer opportunities to climb the social ladder than Zhao Yuanbu. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Zhao made his choice almost immediately after sensing the relationship between Xiao Qiang and Bai Qingshan.

As one of the high-ranking officials in the empire, Zhang Zhao's father understood better than Zhao Yuanbu the difficulty of climbing the ranks and the benefits that came with it.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhao discovered that there was a possibility that would give him access to opportunities to transcend social classes, he did not hesitate at all.

Although suddenly recognizing a father who is less powerful than himself might make others look down on him, time will tell. When Bai Qingshan actually rises to the top, he will successfully ride on Bai Qingshan's coattails to advance his social class, and the others will naturally stop laughing.

It's understandable to be laughed at when you're weak. If no one laughed at you, everyone would do it, and then the chance to earn money by kneeling would be gone.

Knowing this perfectly well, Zhang Zhao did not hesitate at all. Almost immediately after Bai Qingshan and Xiao Qiang ended their communication, he found an opportunity to acknowledge his father.

"Good child, get up."

Bai Qingshan knew that Zhang Zhao's behavior was due to Xiao Qiang, and had little to do with him personally, but as a four-ring Soul Master, there was no need for him to offend a five-ring Soul King at this time.

It's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his underlings; Bai Qingshan, who has been navigating society for decades, has learned this lesson the hard way.

Having a son with a good foundation who can help you in the future, or having a Five-Ring Soul King with whom you had a falling out, is a choice that requires no thought.

"Godfather, this is a small token of my appreciation, please don't refuse." Zhang Zhao took out all the money he had left for his wife, and the resources he had were still quite useful to Bai Qingshan, so Bai Qingshan didn't refuse.

Both of them knew exactly what was going on, and they also knew what the best choice was at this moment.

Zhao Yuanbu: "..."

You've blocked all the avenues at once, but what am I supposed to do now?

Zhao Yuanbu was on the verge of tears; he simply couldn't think of any good solutions.

Kneel down and acknowledge him as your father. Compared to a Soul Master who can only guarantee the strongest soul ring ratio for the first four rings, anyone would know who to choose. But Zhang Zhao still has the upper hand.

He was given real benefits. He didn't know Zhang Zhao's exact wealth, but Zhang Zhao was still a powerful figure, and the resources he offered were clearly beyond what his so-called big family in a second-rate city could match.

Especially considering that Zhao Yuanbu was not yet the clan leader, but merely the grandson of a senior elder.

In just a short while, Zhao Yuanbu felt like the sky had fallen.

…………

Near Poseidon Lake at Shrek Academy.

After a busy day, Huo Yuhao finally had time to take a walk with Wang Dong near Poseidon Lake.

When Huo Yuhao first arrived at Shrek Academy, he and Wang Dong did not get along well. As the eldest daughter of the Clear Sky Sect, Wang Dong's arrogant personality caused some conflicts between them.

As a result, Wang Dong beat up Huo Yuhao.

Because Huo Yuhao did not obtain his original mental detection soul skill, he could only rely on his eyes to detect Wang Dong's movements. This directly became the last straw that broke the camel's back when he fought Wang Dong.

On his first day of school, he was beaten up by Wang Dong, which could be seen as a warning from the world's fate to Huo Yuhao.

However, Huo Yuhao still chose to stay at Shrek Academy, and the two slept in the same room. Huo Yuhao originally wanted to take extreme measures, but fortunately, Electrolux in Huo Yuhao's brain reminded him, preventing Huo Yuhao from choosing to perish together with Wang Dong.

In addition, during the run on the first day of school, Wang Dong chose to help Huo Yuhao, and the relationship between the two gradually improved. Especially after Wang Dong ate the grilled fish made by Huo Yuhao, the two became good friends, much like in the original novel.

After the homeroom teacher Zhou Yi learned that Huo Yuhao was a psychic, Huo Yuhao met Fan Yu and He Caitou.

However, compared to Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection in the original work, the effect of Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, shared vision, is much worse.

There are many limitations, and its power is just so-so. However, considering that Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring is at the hundred-year level, and given Huo Yuhao's age, Fan Yu felt that it was still worthwhile to nurture it a little and give it a try, but only to nurture it a little and give it a try.

Next up is Huo Yuhao. While selling grilled fish, he encountered Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan. With the help of shared vision and the mental impact gained from Tang Ya's external soul bone, the three of them worked together to successfully defeat Xu Sanshi and ultimately obtained two Xuan Shui Pills.

After absorbing his first spirit ring, Huo Yuhao's spirit power reached level eleven. With the added boost of two Xuan Shui Pills, each increasing his innate spirit power by one level, Huo Yuhao successfully reached level thirteen through his own efforts.

The grilled fish was sold out, and Huo Yuhao's soul power had reached level thirteen, which gave him the mood to relax with Wang Dong.

However, while they were taking a walk to clear their heads, they happened to run into Ma Xiaotao, who was on a rampage.

Without the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's head looked as if it had a large "danger" written on it.
