In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 372 Tang Shenwang: The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall Has Already Seeked His Own Death

Tang San: "..."

Although Wang Zhao phrased his words tactfully, he could easily discern the underlying meaning—

Could this Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul Master, who is utterly useless except for his "stink," be the offspring of the legendary Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor?

It doesn't look like it at all.

Upon regaining his senses, Tang San felt a surge of negative emotions. Although he was angry, he forced himself to calm down in the face of Wang Zhao, who was far stronger than him at the moment.

Fortunately, taking into account the presence of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he was very cautious during the battle and did not, as he had done in his previous life when dealing with Zhao Wuji, unleash the Clear Sky Hammer at the last moment to strike Zhao Wuji.

Otherwise, given the keenness of this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he might have been exposed... Tang San comforted himself.

At this moment, Wang Zhao walked to Tang San's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Suddenly, Wang Zhao, relying on his powerful mental strength, keenly sensed that he seemed to be locked onto by a certain gaze the moment he touched Tang San. Although it was only fleeting, Wang Zhao did not ignore it.

Wang Zhao paused, then suddenly seemed to think of something, chuckled inwardly, and then subtly withdrew his hand.

"However, Tang San, although your martial soul talent isn't outstanding, it's still quite special. Also, the techniques you just displayed were quite interesting."

"They are all just unorthodox methods, Your Majesty, you flatter me."

Tang San paused, then spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Are you interested in joining the Spirit Hall?"

Wang Zhao suddenly asked again.

"Well……"

Tang San calmly pretended to think for a while before replying, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. However, I would like to go to school first. After graduation, I will definitely give priority to joining the Spirit Hall."

"Is that so..."

Wang Zhao spoke meaningfully, but did not press Tang San any further.

"Alright, it's fine. Young people should focus on their studies. Just don't become the bastard son of that fallen soul master 'Ritiantian'."

Tang San: "..."

They kept calling him a "fallen soul master," a "daydreamer," and a "bastard."

This is such an insult to me and my dad...

Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

You have already chosen the path to your death!

Afterwards, Wang Zhao scanned the crowd, his gaze lingering briefly on Ning Rongrong before moving on. A short while later, he casually exchanged a few words with Flander and prepared to leave with Zhu Zhuqing.

Just then, Flander, who had been chatting and laughing with Wang Zhao on the surface but was actually still resentful about what had just happened to Wang Zhao and Zhu Zhuqing, couldn't stand up any longer. Dai Mubai also couldn't stand up with him. The two of them stood not far in front of Wang Zhao. Everyone else present looked at them with a strange expression.

"Dean Flander, is there anything else?"

Wang Zhao asked, seemingly with some doubt.

"Um... Your Majesty, may I ask where you are taking Zhu Zhuqing now?"

Flander glanced at Dai Mubai beside him, then looked at Wang Zhao.

"Of course, we'll take her to Wuhun City."

Wang Zhao said casually.

"Wuhun City?!"

Upon hearing this, Flander's eyes widened, and he subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, those five just passed Shrek Academy's practical assessment together, which means Zhu Zhuqing is now our student. It's not appropriate for you to suddenly take her away without explanation, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao suddenly feigned realization and then laughed.

"Oh, Dean Flander, is that what you're concerned about? Well, it's my fault, I forgot to mention it to you earlier."

After speaking, Wang Zhao looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing met Wang Zhao's gaze, quickly understood, and then took the initiative to step forward and explain to Flander.

"That's right. Actually, long before I came to Shilake Academy today, I had already met Li Ming Da... um, His Highness the Holy Son. I accepted his offer and agreed to join the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Academy."

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, the expressions of Flander, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Huo Yuhao all changed abruptly. The reasons were varied and need not be discussed further. What is worth mentioning is Dai Mubai's ferocious expression, his eyes contorted with rage.

Before Dai Mubai could even speak, Flander interrupted him, asking Zhu Zhuqing, "Since you've already agreed to His Majesty's request to join the Spirit Hall and Spirit Academy, why are you here today to register at my Shilake Academy?"

"Actually, it's because Brother Li Ming wanted to join in the fun, so he asked me to..."

Kitten: It's just my owner's job.

After hearing Zhu Zhuqing's explanation, Flander fell silent. Since Zhu Zhuqing had voluntarily followed Wang Zhao, he had no reason to stop her. Although, if Wang Zhao was unwilling, even if he had a reason, he couldn't keep Zhu Zhuqing there.

Flander thought to himself, glancing furtively at Xiao Wu, Tang San, Huo Yuhao, and Ning Rongrong, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He thought to himself, thankfully, the Undead Calamity only took away Zhu Zhuqing. The remaining four were at least as good as Zhu Zhuqing, and some were even better. These four, plus the four who already existed at Shrek Academy, could form a team of eight, one more than he had originally thought. Then his plan could proceed steadily...

Flander ultimately remained silent, but Dai Mubai could not stay silent.

Seeing his fiancée, his last hope in the competition for the throne of the Star Luo Empire, about to run away with someone else, how could he possibly remain calm?

He thought for a moment, then took a step forward without hesitation, facing both Wang Zhao and Zhu Zhuqing at the same time, leaving Flander, who was standing next to him, dumbfounded.

No, Mu Bai, are you really that brave?

"Your Holiness, do you know who she is?"

Although Dai Mubai couldn't remain calm, he couldn't be presumptuous in front of Wang Zhao, so he asked in a somewhat tactful manner.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhao had no intention of beating around the bush and immediately stated bluntly: "Dai Mubai, the second prince who fled from the Star Luo Empire a few years ago, right? Of course I know Zhu Qing's identity. She is the young genius of the Zhu family of Star Luo in this generation, and also your former fiancée with whom you were engaged."

"Then you..."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression immediately became excited, and he wanted to say something, but Wang Zhao interrupted him without any mercy.

"What are you trying to say? Do you think there's something inappropriate about Zhu Qing joining our Great Spirit Hall? Or do you think the Zhu family of Star Luo or the Star Luo royal family will protest? Or perhaps..."

"Do you have a problem with me taking away my fiancée who traveled a long way to find you?"

Dai Mubai's expression changed.
