Chapter 76 Video Call from Earth

Su Yun almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

So all that passionate, tearful rant he'd just given that the old man hadn't heard a single punctuation mark! His mind was completely absorbed in that song!

"you----"

Su Yun was furious and about to explode, but looking at Tang Hao's expression—

Su Yun snorted coldly and did not answer Tang Hao directly, but instead connected with Lei Zhan.

"Team Leader Lei, get me in touch with Angela Chang herself. Yes, that singer. Spark Academy urgently needs her help to recruit an important research subject and teacher! Just connect the video signal to my tablet!"

A few seconds later.

Just as Tang Hao was still lingering over the song, a notification sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the screen switched.

Tang Hao was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost threw the tablet away.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at the screen. On the screen appeared a woman with exquisite features and a unique temperament!

What shocked him even more was that the woman actually smiled and waved at him through the screen!

"A living person?! A living person sealed inside an iron plate?!"

Tang Hao gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Could this be some kind of extremely malicious soul-binding device that imprisons the soul?!"

"You're making a fuss over nothing!"

Su Yun snatched the tablet away, placed it upright on the desk, and rolled her eyes.

"This is called a video call."

On the screen, Angela Chang spoke gently.

"Hello, Mr. Tang. Principal Su told me that you really like my songs."

The amazing thing is that although she was speaking an Earth language, to Tang Hao it sounded like the standard Douluo Continent language, with perfect pronunciation!

Even the speaker's tone of voice, emotional fluctuations, and lip movements are perfectly matched.

This is naturally thanks to Earth's artificial intelligence real-time translation system.

As early as when Su Yun first returned to Douluo Continent from Earth, the think tank at Earth headquarters began training this system.

It's unified.

After all, there are countless experts in various fields on Earth who need to study otherworldly realms, and it's impossible to ask all the old professors to learn a foreign language from scratch in another world.

Now, this AI translation system is extremely reliable, achieving true zero latency, simultaneous interpretation, and voiceprint reconstruction.

"Hello—you—"

The mighty God of Slaughter was now awkwardly greeting a screen.

At Su Yun's prompting, Angela Chang cleared her throat and, through the screen, sang the song she had just sung a cappella, just for Tang Hao.

There was no accompaniment, only pure, heart-touching vocals.

This time, with the help of the translation system, Tang Hao clearly understood the meaning of every lyric.

"Each time, I find strength amidst hesitation and loneliness —"

"Even when I'm deeply hurt, I never shed a tear."

"I know I've always had a pair of invisible wings that carry me, flying me over despair—"

When those lyrics played again, the string that had been taut in Tang Hao's mind for many years snapped completely.

He understood.

He finally understood. The song was filled with a desperate cry of blood and sorrow in the face of adversity, yet it was also a desperate attempt to defy fate. This was not singing; it was clearly singing about the blue light that filled the sky when Ah Yin sacrificed herself, singing about the humiliation of being hunted down by the Spirit Hall all over the world, and singing about how he had been a walking corpse hiding in Holy Soul Village for so many years, forging iron and drinking alcohol!

"Waaah————"

A suppressed sob escaped from Tang Hao's throat.

This tough guy, who once severely injured the former pope with a single blow and was not afraid of death, was completely broken down by this soul-stirring song.

Two streams of tears rolled down his face, and he didn't even bother to wipe them away, crying like a child.

The song ended.

Following the given public relations script, Angela Chang extended an olive branch to him.

"Mr. Tang, Principal Su said you are a great father and an unparalleled expert who has endured countless hardships. I earnestly request that you stay at Xinghuo Academy to protect those hopeful children and spend quality time with your son."

Tang Hao wiped away his tears, his face flushed, but he was in a great inner struggle.

Seeing the hesitation in Tang Hao's eyes, Angela Zhang smiled slightly and directly threw out her chips.

"If you are willing to stay, I promise you that I will listen to your past experiences and write a song just for you, a song that belongs only to you."

boom!

These words sent a huge shock through Tang Hao's heart.

To have a song that perfectly resonates with your soul!

For Tang Hao, who had now become a complete fan of Angela Chang, this was an irresistible and fatal temptation!

At this moment, he even began to imagine the scene of charging into Wuhun City while listening to her songs.

But----

"I—cannot stay here."

Tang Hao thought for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out those words.

He closed his eyes in anguish, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.

"My enemies are extremely powerful, spanning the entire continent."

"If I stay out in the open as a teacher, my whereabouts will be exposed, which will surely bring disaster to the mistress, and even to you. I—can only hide in the shadows."

Su Yun nodded.

I was very touched, but as much as I was touched, I wasn't going to run away!

Su Yun stared into Tang Hao's eyes, her tone suddenly turning cold, each word like a knife.

"Mr. Tang, do you think that if you hide, your enemies will take pity on you and let you go?"

"Do you think that handing the child over to someone else and hiding in the shadows as a bodyguard who can't see the light of day is the best protection for him?"

Su Yun placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said, word by word.

"Rather than living like a rat in a sewer, hiding and licking your wounds with a drunken stupor and self-reproach, spending your whole life in the shadows—"

Tang Hao suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Su Yun.

An uncontrollable killing intent belonging to a peak Douluo burst forth from his body.

No one has ever dared to humiliate Haotian Douluo like this before!

However, Su Yun didn't even flinch in the face of this overwhelming killing intent.

Instead, he suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Tang Hao, and roared.

"What are you glaring at me for! Did I say something wrong?! If you don't want to be a rat, stand upright in the sunlight!"

Su Yun's voice boomed like a great bell in Tang Hao's ears.

"Straighten your spine, which has been bent for so many years! Stay here, stand before him, be his teacher, be his true father!"

"Use that hammer in your hand to teach him personally how a man should clench his fist and smash it back when the world's malice comes crashing down like a mountain!"

boom!

These words were ten thousand times more powerful than the impact of that hundred-ton truck, striking Tang Hao's already battered mind.

Tang Hao trembled violently.

He lowered his head, staring intently at his rough, large hands, the same hands that had once smashed the Papal Palace, now only able to hold wine bottles and hide in the darkness.

His body, which had been hunched over with guilt and despair, gradually straightened up again amidst Su Yun's angry curses.

The gloomy, dejected look in those eyes was swept away, replaced by a blazing fire that had been dormant for many years and was now finally rekindled.

Standing in the sunlight —

For the sake of the mistress, smash the malice of this world —

Tang Hao took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to expel all the pent-up emotions he had accumulated over the years.

"Furthermore, I need to make the unpleasant point clear upfront regarding this tablet."

"First, this thing is called a tablet computer, and it needs electricity to operate. Once the battery is depleted, it's just a piece of scrap metal. And in the whole continent, only I have the matching charger."

Tang Hao was stunned.

"Charge?"

"Secondly, it's password protected. Ever since my mistress stole too many tablets, I've set a password. Only I can unlock it. Even if I finish writing this song and send it to you, you won't hear a sound."

"Third, this thing needs me as its signal source. If it gets too far away from me, it loses the signal and becomes scrap metal."

The study returned to silence.

Su Yun pushed the tablet towards Tang Hao.

"So, Mr. Tang, for the sake of our child having a normal childhood, and so that you can hear this song that belongs only to you anytime, anywhere—"

"We sincerely invite you to stay! Become our chief practical instructor, a legitimate and honorable job! Will you accept or not?"

! "

Silence fell over the study once again.

Tang Hao glanced at Su Yun, then at the tablet on the table.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"Okay—I promise you."

"From today onwards, I will stay."

Su Yun leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, a smile playing on his lips.
