Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 409 A Series of Astounding Wisdom (Part 2)

It was still the entrance to Shrek Academy, and the same teacher who had recently received Ma Hongjun was still on duty.

Although the teacher had some psychological trauma because of Ma Hongjun's incident, he still managed to force a smile when he saw the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him with her hot figure and otherworldly aura.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your Sea God Pavilion Master, hmm."

The woman thought for a moment, then added, "There's also an inner court student named Ma Xiaotao. Could you please inform both of them?"

".?"

Another one looking for the Sea God Pavilion Master?

Is it going to be another Shrek Seven Devils?

The teacher paused for a moment, recalling his experience of almost being burned to a crisp by the phoenix flames, and felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Excuse me, could you please reveal your identity?"

"Zhu Zhuqing".

They really are the Seven Freaks!?

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's answer, the teacher's legs suddenly went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his expression, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but frown and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Does it require identity verification?"

"No, no need."

Damn it, how did he manage to run into all these problems?

While inwardly groaning, the teacher forced a dry smile and subtly took two steps back.

"Please wait here for a moment, senior. I will go and inform the sect leader for you now."

To his relief, Zhu Zhuqing did not react with the same unpredictable emotions as Ma Hongjun had before; she simply nodded calmly.

Thank you.

As soon as she finished speaking, the teacher disappeared without a trace, leaving her in a daze.

But soon, at a speed that made them wish their parents had two more legs, the teacher arrived at the academy gate with a large group of people.

"Master, this is the one I was just talking about."

"I understand, you can go now."

Zhang Lexuan, who was in the lead, nodded, and after the teacher left, she looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a wary expression.

"Having met the Netherworld Douluo, may I ask what brings you to Shrek Academy, senior?"

As she said this, her body was already tense, as if she were constantly on guard against the other party suddenly making a move.

Although she knew that given the difference in their cultivation levels, any precautions would be futile, she had no choice. She had just had a conflict with Ma Hongjun, and now he had come knocking on her door. It was hard not to suspect that he was seeking revenge.

The expressions of the people behind her were not much better, especially Qiu'er, who was even prepared to call Huo Yuhao at any time.

Just as everyone was tense because of the oppressive atmosphere, Zhu Zhuqing's next sentence made them freeze on the spot.

"You must be the Sea God Pavilion Master? Well, Master, Huo Yuhao sent me here."

She almost blurted out the name she was thinking of, but remembering Huo Yuhao's warning, Zhu Zhuqing quickly coughed twice and got straight to the point.

"As he instructed, I will stay in Shrek City for the time being to protect you. If you encounter any trouble, you can notify me directly."

"."

No one spoke; they all seemed stunned by her words.

But only they themselves knew that at this moment their focus was not on Zhu Zhuqing's later words, but on her initial form of address.

Was she trying to say "master" just now?

Recalling the scene that happened to Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul during the Mingdu Tournament, everyone's feelings couldn't help but become somewhat complicated.

Wait, what exactly has Yuhao done? He's already started attacking the gods?

Fortunately, this idea did not linger in everyone's minds for long before it was interrupted by Ma Xiaotao's sudden outburst.

"Then what brings you here, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously turned her head to look at Ma Xiaotao, and after sensing that familiar phoenix aura, she couldn't help but realize something.

So that's how it is. This must be the descendant of Fatty and Chenxiang in the mortal realm, right? No wonder the master...

Without thinking further, she explained softly.

"You must be Ma Xiaotao? Huo Yuhao has other matters to attend to right now. He asked me to tell you to take this to the military camp on the outskirts of the Jingyang Mountains within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire and wait for him. He will go there to meet you as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she took out a token with a sun and moon pattern engraved on its surface from her storage space and handed it to Ma Xiaotao.

"With this token, the people in the military camp should give you some preferential treatment."

Ma Xiaotao subconsciously reached out and took it, and after examining it for a moment, her eyes lit up uncontrollably.

That brat, making me wait for him in the Sun Moon Empire, isn't that just a disguised invitation for a date?!

Clearly, Ma Xiaotao wasn't the only one who thought of this; looking at the token in her hand, everyone's faces showed a hint of envy.

Ma Xiaotao, who was in the spotlight, suppressed the urge to smile and nodded nonchalantly.

"I understand, I'll leave later."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her gaze falling on Zhang Lexuan again: "Is there anything else? Please arrange a place for me to stay."

"Of course, welcome to Shrek Academy, senior. Please follow me this way."

Upon learning that the other party was not there for revenge, Zhang Lexuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put on a gentle smile again.

Just as she was about to turn around and lead the way, she noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's gaze seemed to be drawn to something and landed on Zhu Lu in the crowd.

After a brief silence, Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.

"You're a child of the Zhu family? Your martial spirit is the Netherworld Cat?"

"right."

Zhu Lu responded, looking at the other's exaggerated scale, which was even more magnificent than her own, her expression was somewhat complicated: "Junior Zhu Lu greets Ancestor."

Wow, it's truly worthy of being called our ancestor! It's so big, it even seems more exaggerated than Senior Sister Xiaotao's!

Noticing that Zhu Lu's gaze was fixed on her impressive chest, and catching a fleeting look of amazement in the other's eyes, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to understand what the girl was thinking, and couldn't help but blush.

What's wrong with this girl? She's thinking about all sorts of random things on our first meeting.

However, no matter what, she was still somewhat happy to see the descendants of the Zhu family here.

After thinking for a moment, she offered, "If you're willing, you can train with me during your time at Shrek Academy. I do have some experience with the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul."

She was actually underestimating the situation. As beings with the same martial soul, her divine power and affinity with Zhu Lu were likely quite high. Even just helping to nourish the body on a regular basis would bring considerable improvement to the girl.

"Forehead?"

Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then, as if she had been hit by a surprise, her face immediately lit up with joy, and she excitedly agreed.

"Thank you, ancestors!"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head: "You're welcome."

From the moment she signed the master-servant contract, her body and soul had already submitted to Huo Yuhao. Naturally, she spared no effort in helping her master cultivate his companions.

The ruins of Haotian Sect.

"How could that be?"

Staring blankly at the scene before him, Tang San couldn't help but murmur in astonishment.

It was as if a huge, unimaginable ladle had scooped out a piece of the mountain range, which had once towered into the clouds and stretched endlessly, and what appeared before him was a circular crater with a diameter of several thousand meters.

It's as if a divine miracle was performed here; anyone who witnesses such a breathtaking scene would instinctively hold their breath.

The Haotian Sect... just like that, gone?

Who did it?

Huo Yuhao?

Recalling the scene more than half a year ago when the other party completely broke ties with Tang San of the God Realm in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, he already had a clear answer in his mind.

It seems that Huo Yuhao is the one.

But instead of showing joy at having avenged his great enemy, Tang San's face grew even more gloomy after he figured it out.

Heaven knows how much effort it took him to escape from the Sun Moon Empire all the way here, under the pursuit of the elders of Shrek Academy and the Sea God Pavilion.

When they arrived, they were told that the Haotian Sect was gone!?

Who will fill the gap in his soul rings and soul bones?

While he was hiding from pursuers within the Sun Moon Empire, he overheard news that Niu Tian, ​​the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, had joined forces with several other major powers to attack the City of Original Sin, but ultimately failed.

What concerned him most was that Niu Tian and Xuan Zi had encountered a powerful enemy and were seriously injured during the campaign.

Recalling the Xuanzi whom he had previously killed and absorbed through the Eight Spider Lances, Tang San suddenly realized that his chance for revenge had come.

He thought that without the trident, he would have a hard time dealing with Niu Tian until he found a suitable way to break through, but he didn't expect that the other party was also seriously injured like that old man Xuanzi.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.

If he hadn't absorbed Xuanzi, he might not have been a match for Niu Tian. But now, with Xuanzi's help, his cultivation has reached level ninety, and he can unleash the super killing move Guanyin Tears at any time by exploding his rings. Dealing with a seriously injured Niu Tian is no problem at all.

If successful, he is guaranteed to obtain a divine-level soul bone, and may even absorb Niu Tian's divine ring, which would greatly enhance his strength.

Unfortunately, despite not hearing any news about the Clear Sky Sect along the way, he only found out when he arrived that the soul ring and soul bone he had reserved had been snatched away by that damned bastard Huo Yuhao once again.

They just stole his golden trident, and now they're robbing the Haotian Sect. This bastard is so reckless and greedy. Doesn't he fear bursting his own belly?

Just as Tang San was cursing inwardly, an unexpected, burly figure quietly appeared beside him.

"Are you now a disciple of the Haotian Sect?"

Looking at Tang San, whose demeanor seemed somewhat gloomy, Tang Hao felt a strange sense of familiarity well up inside him. Suppressing the unease, he subconsciously asked the question that had been troubling him: "Tell me, what exactly happened at the Clear Sky Sect?"

"who!?"

Tang San was startled by the sudden commotion and his body instinctively took a defensive stance. Only after seeing the other person's face did he widen his eyes in disbelief.

"Father!?"

"Father?"

Tang Hao was also taken aback by this abrupt address, and after realizing what it meant, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

"Little one, what's your name? And do you know who I am?"

Why is this guy randomly claiming fathers? Is he some kind of mentally unstable lunatic?

But his reaction was clearly not like that. It couldn't be that he recognized him and wanted to use this to curry favor, could it?

Let alone a boy who looks eighteen or nineteen, probably apart from Tang San's two brothers-in-law, there wouldn't be a third person in the entire Clear Sky Sect who would recognize him...

As he thought this, Tang Hao felt something was amiss, as if he had finally discovered some unknown secret, and an indescribable sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Tang San's next words directly confirmed his guess.

"Father, don't you recognize me? I'm your son, Tang San!"

When he said this, Tang San looked extremely excited, and his voice even sounded somewhat incoherent.

The latest novel is first published here!

Although this excitement wasn't directed at Tang Hao alone, the joy of seeing his father from his previous life again was his genuine reaction.

Although he didn't know why Tang Hao was here, that didn't stop Tang San from being excited about this unexpected surprise.

His chance has finally come!

As the renowned God of Wisdom in the God Realm in his previous life, he naturally wouldn't place all his hopes for dealing with Tang San of the God Realm on Huo Yuhao alone after his rebirth. In fact, he had already begun to think about backup plans long before the other party had even grown up.

The most crucial aspect of this backup plan is to secretly win over his former companions, including the original Seven Devils.

Only with their help can I grow up quickly, and even grow faster and stronger than Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, the scene that I had simulated countless times in my mind appeared in front of me in real life. It was time to turn the tide!

As Tang San had expected, Tang Hao's eyes widened involuntarily after hearing his answer.

"You're a mistress? But weren't you being watched by the God of Destruction's men in the divine realm? How did you suddenly appear here...?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San suddenly realized something.

No wonder, even though he had completely broken ties with Tang San from the God Realm, Tang Hao was acting as if he knew nothing about it.

It seems that the God of Destruction's surveillance prevented Tang San from making the necessary arrangements in the God Realm.

Wouldn't this be convenient for me?

As his emotions grew increasingly agitated, Tang San clenched his fists tightly, a perfectly measured expression of hatred appearing on his face.

"The one who brought me to this state is that imposter you mentioned, Father! Father, you and Xiaowu have all been deceived by that guy!"

"How could that be? You are one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm. Who could possibly take you away without a word..."

However, Tang Hao could only get halfway through his sentence before he couldn't continue.

Yes, who else could silently send God King Tang San back to the Douluo Continent besides the other five God Kings?

Considering the God of Destruction's recent frequent actions, he seemed to have grasped something crucial, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Although both are God Kings, Tang San is still relatively inexperienced, having only been in the God Realm for thirty years. It is certain that he is somewhat inferior to veteran powerhouses like the God of Destruction.

In addition, Tang San doesn't always maintain the more powerful Asura God position. Instead, he prefers the Sea God position. If arranged properly, it's not unbelievable that the God of Destruction could find an opportunity without anyone noticing.

No wonder he felt there was something fishy about Ning Rongrong's situation before. After all, given his son's meticulous and selfless nature, he would never have let his companion die.

Looking back now, this incident was undoubtedly a trap set by that imposter to lure Ning Rongrong to the mortal realm!

In addition, the God of Destruction's reaction after learning of Ning Rongrong's death was also very abnormal. According to the description of the seven monsters who were present at the time, he always had a faint smile on his lips, as if he had victory in his grasp.

There's also that imposter who commissioned the God of Emotions to descend to the mortal realm and investigate Ning Rongrong's death.

The God of Destruction, who had always been at odds with Tang San, surprisingly agreed without much objection. He had been wondering before that these two had been in cahoots from the beginning, and that all this was just a show put on in front of them!

It's not just these two; even that so-called God of Emotions might only appear neutral on the surface, but in reality, he has a very close relationship with the God of Destruction.

As for why they would put on such a show after already killing Tang San, it was simply to avoid arousing suspicion among Tang San's companions, causing turmoil in the God Realm, and affecting their prestige.

Conversely, if someone is deliberately sent to impersonate Tang San and break the rules, it would be "reasonable" for him to be imprisoned in the God Realm prison!

If things continue like this, once the imposter Tang San is thrown into prison, it won't be long before the God of Destruction tells them with a "sorrowful" heart that Tang San, out of remorse for his actions, committed suicide in prison out of shame.

Framing and framing, this god of destruction is truly vicious!

Since the Tang San from the God Realm is an imposter, then the Ah Yin he told me about back then is safe and sound.

Recalling the somewhat unnatural expression on Tang San's face when he asked about it, Tang Hao felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

My premonition was right; Gintoki really is in trouble!

In an instant, an unprecedented rage erupted from his mind.

I thought Ning Rongrong was the first victim, but it turns out his wife, A Yin, was!?

If he hadn't happened to come to the lower realm and happened to run into Tang San, who had miraculously survived the God of Destruction, he probably would have remained completely in the dark!

"Father?"

Tang San called out, his heart beating faster than usual. In fact, seeing Tang Hao's ever-changing expression, he knew that his plan was already halfway to success.

Without knowing exactly what happened in the God Realm, he could only make more mistakes by saying more, so he just started and left the rest to Tang Hao's imagination.

After all, people tend to have unwavering faith in the answers they come up with, especially those who think they're clever.

Sometimes, instead of fabricating a lie full of holes, it's better to guide them a little and let them fill in the blanks in their minds.

Unfortunately, although everyone thinks they are very smart, only Tang San is truly revered as the God of Wisdom by all the gods.

"I understand what you're saying, but how can you prove that you are indeed my son, Tang San?"

Although he had confirmed that the truth of the matter was almost exactly as he had guessed, Tang Hao still cautiously asked a question because the matter was too complicated.

"Now tell me something that only my son and I know, otherwise I can't fully trust you."

Without hesitation, Tang San first summoned his iconic Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer martial souls, then seemed to be lost in memories, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

He spoke quickly.

"I wonder if Father still remembers the waterfall where you taught me the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?"

"Remember."

Tang Hao nodded, signaling him to continue.

Seeing this, Tang San no longer hesitated and continued to add.

"At first I thought that was just a training ground you randomly chose. I never imagined that you would place Mother's body in that dark and sunless stone chamber behind the waterfall. If it weren't for a small hole in the ceiling, even air couldn't circulate in there. Not only that, you only provided Mother with a little bit of soil to grow in..."

He wanted to describe things in as much detail as possible, but before he could finish speaking, Tang Hao raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, alright, no need to say anything more."

Tang Hao's expression seemed a little unpleasant, but he still nodded.

"If you even know something like this, I'm convinced you're the other woman. So what are you planning to do now? How about I gather your companions right now and we return to the God Realm to confront the God of Destruction?"

"No."

Tang San quickly shook his head and refused: "My cultivation is not what it used to be. If I alert the enemy, with the power of the God of Destruction, he could attack me without me even noticing..."

"What should we do then?"

Tang Hao frowned, clearly realizing that the situation was somewhat serious. Although he wanted to save Ah Yin from the God of Destruction as soon as possible, he also knew that being reckless at this time would only make the situation worse.

"I have no choice but to remain still. My current strength is too weak. Even if I return to the God Realm, I will not be able to contend with the God of Destruction. It is better to stay in the lower realm and develop quietly for the time being."

As they were talking, Tang San seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Tang Hao with a serious expression.

"If possible, please tell Xiaowu the truth about the situation secretly, Father, so that she can pass on the position of the Asura God to me. In this way, I will be qualified to fight against the God of Destruction as soon as possible."

"I understand. I'll tell Xiao Wu about it when we get back to the God Realm."

Perhaps because Ah Yin's fate is still unknown, Tang Hao no longer has the patience to wait for Tang San to develop slowly.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and a black hammer appeared in his hand at some point. Under Tang San's puzzled gaze, he uttered a low shout.

"With your current strength, you still have a long way to go before you become a god. Now, summon your Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, and I will lend you a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately summoned his martial soul again.

However, as soon as the small black hammer, similar to Tang Hao's, appeared, he felt a gust of wind coming towards him.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Tang Hao smash his Clear Sky Hammer.

After a series of soft sounds, his Haotian Hammer suddenly let out a mournful cry and turned into countless points of light.

An indescribable pain struck, and before Tang San could even scream, Tang Hao guided the points of light to merge into the hammer in his hand.

"I'm shattering your Clear Sky Hammer to make room for my Clear Sky Hammer, which is already comparable to a divine weapon. In addition, I will use divine power to maintain its original spirit rings and God of Slaughter Domain. With it, your strength will surely improve even more rapidly."

Upon hearing the explanation, Tang San was shocked and felt a lump in his throat.

As a second-level deity in the God Realm, Tang Hao's spirit rings have undoubtedly been upgraded to a certain level with the help of immortal spiritual energy. Now, with the Clear Sky Hammer falling on him, not only will his strength be greatly enhanced, but he will also save himself the trouble of searching for spirit rings again.

Sure enough, compared to that good-for-nothing Tang Ba who only knew how to exploit him, Tang Hao was more like a real father!

"Thank you, Father!"

Tang Hao waved his hand, his voice sounding somewhat weak, as if he was in the process of separating his martial soul.

"No need for further words. The fusion process ahead will be even more painful. Stay focused and endure!"

"yes!"
