Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

At that moment, the entire private room was eerily quiet.

At this moment, Tang Wulin lowered his head, clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.

Zhao Tao's words were still echoing in his mind.

Every word, every question, struck him like a hammer blow against his unwavering faith in the Tang Clan.

If it were anyone else, would they dare to slander Tang Wulin's "idol" like that?

Tang Wulin had already broken up with the other party.

But tell him that none of this was done by anyone else.

Instead, it was Zhao Tao, the brother Tao whom I respected, admired, and trusted the most!

The benefactor and half-mentor who guided him through countless training sessions.

The captain who fought alongside him and saved him from danger many times!

Whom should I trust?

Is it Brother Tao, or the Tang Clan?

At this moment, Tang Wulin's mind was in complete turmoil!

Look me in the eyes! Answer me! Do you have a chance?

Looking at Tang Wulin's hesitant eyes, Zhao Tao knew that his words had worked!

With a sharp gaze fixed on Tang Wulin, Zhao Tao asked another question.

At this moment, Tang Wulin's eyes reflected confusion, fear, wavering, and struggle...

Countless emotions surged within his pupils!

"It's highly likely... that's not the case..."

"But, Brother Tao, I find it hard to accept what you're saying..."

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Wulin finally nodded and answered in a low voice.

Although everything Zhao Tao said was completely different from his past understanding.

But a careful analysis of every word and argument Zhao Tao made reveals...

Yet they are all so clear and so reasonable that they are hard to refute!

This forced him to believe it.

"Wu Lin, I know you might find it hard to accept my point of view."

"After all, the propaganda you received from childhood has been about how righteous the Tang Sect is, and how glorious Tang Sect Soul Masters are!"

"But have you ever considered that all that propaganda you've received is actually what the Tang Sect wants you to see?"

"After all, history is written by the victors, and the Tang Clan will only choose to promote what's advantageous to them!"

"Just like I told you, there are questions about evil spirit masters, questions about commoner spirit masters, and questions about Yu Xiaogang."

"Do you think what I said makes sense? But what did the Tang Sect tell you in their advertising?"

Patting Tang Wulin on the shoulder, Zhao Tao asked earnestly, his voice carrying a power that penetrated the soul.

"Brother Tao, I...I know, what you said makes sense."

"But what should I do?"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin's pupils contracted slightly, and he pondered for a long time.

at last.

The reason and conscience that remained in his heart overcame his blind worship of the Tang Clan.

Having made up his mind, he looked sincerely at Zhao Tao in front of him and asked.

"It's already very kind of you to accept my words."

"After all, many people might simply not be able to accept such unorthodox views!"

"This also shows that Wu Lin, you are actually a person with independent thinking ability."

"What you need to do is maintain independent thinking and critical thinking."

"Don't blindly believe Tang Clan's propaganda."

"Think more about whether what they say is reasonable, whether they are avoiding the important issues, and don't just parrot what others say."

"At the same time, read more history, especially the history written by the Spirit Tower and the Sun and Moon Federation."

"Only in this way can you achieve clarity by listening to all sides and avoid being misled by others, thus seeing through the essence of things and social development."

Seeing Tang Wulin's sudden realization, Zhao Tao nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that my choice was correct.

At this time, Tang Wulin had just joined the Tang Sect and had not yet been poisoned by the Tang Sect's propaganda and distorted values.

In addition, because he had always helped Tang Wulin and held a high position of prestige in Tang Wulin's heart, he was able to help Tang Wulin break through the demonic barrier and thus dispel the illusion surrounding the Tang Sect.

Often, once you open your eyes and see the world for the first time, it becomes difficult for the outside world to deceive you again.

It can be said that Zhao Tao also helped Tang Wulin complete the process of "opening his eyes".

It helped him realize that the Tang Sect was not as righteous as it was advertised.

"Thank you, Brother Tao. I understand. I will definitely maintain my ability to think independently!"

"So, Brother Tao, tell me, since the Tang Clan has deceived me like this, should I apply to leave the Tang Clan?"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's suggestion, Tang Wulin nodded vigorously, expressing his sincere gratitude.

Next, he looked at Zhao Tao earnestly and asked for his advice.

"My advice is, don't leave the Tang Sect."

"After all, organizations like the Tang Clan hate traitors the most."

"If you try to withdraw, you will be considered a traitor, and you may encounter many troubles in the future, even being killed by those Tang Sect members and Tang San's loyal descendants!"

"Moreover, the Tang Clan's unique skills, such as the Mysterious Heaven Skill, do have their merits and can be helpful to your cultivation."

"Actually, as long as you maintain an independent mindset."

"Even in a cesspool and garbage dump like the Tang Clan, you can still remain untainted by the mud, maintaining a kind heart within the Tang Clan!"

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao quickly interrupted his dangerous thoughts.

Tang Clan, this is absolutely a pyramid scheme organization where once you enter, you can never get out!

The consequence of trying to leave the Tang Clan can be summed up in one word—death!

After all, the Tang Sect perfectly inherited Tang San's ruthlessness and jealousy of talent.

Wanting to leave the Tang Sect is tantamount to declaring war on the Tang Sect!

Even if the Tang Sect outwardly allows you to withdraw, they will secretly send powerful members of the Fighting Soul Hall to eliminate you completely!

"Oh my god, we've been wiped out!"

"I never imagined the Tang Clan was such a twisted and terrifying organization!"

"Brother Tao, thank you so much! Without your guidance, I might still be proud to have joined the Tang Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was so frightened that his body trembled instantly!

He never expected that the price of leaving the Tang Sect would be so high!

"We're all good brothers, no need to be so polite!"

"Also, you must remember..."

"What you said today must absolutely not be told to a third person, not even your dance teacher, Xie Xie, the other students in Class Zero, or even your parents, understand?"

Zhao Tao stared sharply at Tang Wulin and gave him instructions.

"Brother Tao, I understand!"

"I promise I will never tell anyone else about what happened today, not even my parents!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin nodded vigorously, making sure to remember them.

"very good!"

"Also, when facing the Tang Sect's test, you must maintain absolute loyalty, even fanaticism, and absolutely not show any wavering, understand?"

Nodding, Zhao Tao continued to give instructions.

"I understand, I'll definitely be careful, Brother Tao!"

Looking into Zhao Tao's eyes, Tang Wulin nodded vigorously again.

"Very good, Wu Lin, you've grown up!"

With a satisfied pat on Tang Wulin's shoulder, Zhao Tao's eyes revealed a fatherly sense of relief.

It can be said that, under his guidance, Tang Wulin has taken the first step on the path of filial piety and parental love.

Having developed doubts about the Tang Sect and shed his faith in and blind loyalty to Tang San, his future will become more inclined towards light and justice!

Of course, this is just the beginning, just the first step in guiding Tang Wulin towards a relationship of filial piety and parental love.

However, Zhao Tao believed that with him around, Tang Wulin would definitely become the light of righteousness, shining on that land!

And by then—

King Tang, when you see your own son severing ties with you and turning his blade against you, I believe your expression will be quite something!
