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

Chapter 86 Pride and Madness

Several hours ago.

Sea God Pavilion.

As the conference room door was pushed open from the outside, Yan Shaozhe, sitting in his seat, subconsciously looked up and was stunned when he saw who it was.

First of all, Elder Xuan, who was perfectly fine just moments ago, suddenly turned somewhat gloomy after only going out for a short while.

Secondly, besides his teachers Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, there was another unexpected figure who also appeared here.

Zhang Lexuan.

Without thinking twice, he quickly stood up and bowed to the hunched-over Mu En.

"Teacher, you've arrived."

"Um."

Moon nodded in response, and as he walked towards his recliner, he asked, "What brings you here so late?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe subconsciously glanced at Zhang Lexuan out of the corner of his eye, somewhat hesitant. However, considering that she was likely brought in personally by Elder Mu, he silently stopped the words that were about to come out.

After Elder Mu settled down on the recliner in the head seat, he cleared his throat and slowly explained.

"It's like this, teacher. The task you assigned me to investigate Tang San's background has yielded results."

"Um?"

Before Mu En could speak, Xuan Zi couldn't help but pause in surprise: "You found out about the Haotian Sect so quickly?"

It should be noted that, as a sect that has been in seclusion for nearly ten thousand years, the Clear Sky Sect is a symbol of mystery in the eyes of most Soul Masters.

Even though Shrek Academy occasionally interacted with the other side, they still knew very little about the Clear Sky Sect. Moreover, given Tang San's talent, even within the Clear Sky Sect, he should be ranked among the top or even the strongest of his generation.

How could they have found out the news so quickly?

As if guessing what Elder Xuan was thinking, Yan Shaozhe coughed twice with a somewhat embarrassed expression and explained.

"Tang San is not actually a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, so investigating his information did not take much effort."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing about Yan Shaozhe, even Mu En was intrigued: "Tell me more about it."

"Yes, teacher."

"According to the information I have, Tang San's father, Tang Ba, was once a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. At his peak, he was a Soul Emperor at level 67. However, he was stripped of his cultivation and became a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect because he violated the sect's rules."

As he listened, a strange expression appeared on Xuanzi's face.

Why does this story sound so familiar?

Zhang Lexuan, who was sitting at the very end of the long table, kept her head down the whole time, seemingly indifferent to the situation.

"After being expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Ba has been running a blacksmith shop in Tian Dou City. Business has been rather dismal over the years. However, he had some dealings with the Tang Clan for a period of time and helped them forge some hidden weapons. I suspect that the hidden weapons and Tang Clan's unique skills that Tang San used came from this."

At this point, Yan Shaozhe paused, looking at Mu En with an excited expression.

"Teacher, judging from this information, Tang San's Tang Sect skills are likely self-taught. For an ordinary family to have reached this level, in terms of talent, Tang San is probably much more powerful than we initially analyzed. If he were properly trained, he might become another Tang San ancestor."

"Furthermore, this person doesn't belong to the Clear Sky Sect. Teacher, Shrek Academy can't let such a genius slip through our fingers!"

Ten thousand years ago, Master Yu Xiaogang, who was originally destined to only reach level 29 in his entire life, became famous throughout the continent by nurturing Tang San, the God of the Sea.

Now, a similar opportunity has been presented to him, how could Yan Shaozhe not be excited?

Both fathers were sinners of the Haotian Sect.

The same twin martial souls: Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer.

They will also use Tang Clan's unique skills.

Even his name is the same as Tang San's ancestor's, and this Tang San's talent is even more terrifying than that of the one from ten thousand years ago.

The coincidence was so striking that Yan Shaozhe thought he was dreaming.

It's like encountering a difficult problem where you already know the solution and the answer; you just need to follow the steps to cultivate a deity.

To raise a god!

This was something Yan Shaozhe would never have dared to imagine before, but after seeing Tang San's overly coincidental background and terrifying talent, a strong impulse inexplicably rose in his heart.

God willing.

The history that was etched in the memories of countless people ten thousand years ago is about to be repeated in our hands.

The same genius, if the master can cultivate him into a god, why can't Yan Shaozhe?

In terms of knowledge, he possesses more comprehensive and detailed knowledge than the masters of ten thousand years ago.

In terms of cultivation level, he is still a level 95 Super Douluo.

Although he held the soul of Shrek Academy in high esteem, he knew that times were changing and he didn't think he was any less capable than the master from ten thousand years ago.

If he were to take Tang San as his disciple, he might become the second person in the Douluo Continent to cultivate a god!

Compared to Yan Shaozhe's excitement, Mu En appeared much calmer. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke.

"Since Tang San's background is fine, Shao Zhe, why don't you find an opportunity to make contact with him?"

"Yes, teacher."

Just as Yan Shaozhe's face lit up with joy, he heard Mu En change the subject and speak meaningfully.

"You've come to see me so late, Shao Zhe, surely there's more to this than just what you wanted to say?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's expression froze instantly. He subconsciously glanced at Zhang Lexuan beside him and nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"As the teacher said, there is indeed one more thing."

Although he valued Tang San highly, it wouldn't be enough to make him come to the Sea God Pavilion so late to talk to his teacher about this.

What truly made him anxious was Xianlin'er's desire to compete with him for the title of genius.

The plan he just discussed with Du Weilun in the office to abandon Huo Yuhao was a last resort, made in the face of the Soul Guidance Department wanting to fight tooth and nail with their Martial Soul Department.

If it really comes to that, the Soul Guidance Department will suffer heavy losses for Huo Yuhao, but the Martial Soul Department will also be severely damaged for the sake of two geniuses.

Moreover, if they could, which of the three geniuses, Tang San, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yuena, wouldn't want to have them all?

So he chose to go find his teacher, Moon.

As the head of the Sea God Pavilion, as long as the other party orders the three geniuses to enter the Martial Soul System, then no matter how unwilling Xian Lin'er is, she can only grit her teeth and accept it.

As Yan Shaozhe recounted Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's situation, Zhang Lexuan, realizing what the other party intended to do, couldn't help but frown.

As she expected, Yan Shaozhe cleared his throat after explaining his conflict with Xian Lin'er and spoke again in a solemn tone.

"Teacher, the fact that three geniuses of Huo Yuhao's caliber could appear at once is absolutely unprecedented in the ten thousand years since the school was founded. It's no exaggeration to say that Shrek Academy is incredibly lucky. What we need to do is seize this hard-won opportunity and nurture them in the best way possible."

Unaware that Xuanzi's face had grown increasingly dark since he used Huo Yuhao as an example, Yan Shaozhe continued to passionately express his thoughts.

"Although the ultimate goal of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department is to cultivate students for the development and growth of the academy, it is undeniable that, in terms of training experience alone, the Soul Guidance Department, which was established later, is still a level below the Martial Soul Department."

"Especially given how precious each of us is, if we don't give them the best training and instead hand them over to the Soul Guidance Department, it would undoubtedly be a waste of their talents and irresponsible towards them."

At this point, Yan Shaozhe paused, then spoke in a heavy tone.

"But as you know, Dean Xian sometimes gets angry and does some irrational things, and no one but you can persuade him."

"This time, she is completely disregarding the future of these geniuses for the sake of the rise of the Soul Guidance Department. I really can't bear to see such geniuses ruin their future in the Soul Guidance Department, so I came to ask you to step in and stop Dean Xian's irrational behavior."

Hearing the resounding words, the absurdity of the Sea God Pavilion meeting she had experienced came flooding back to her. Zhang Lexuan remained silent, feeling only a sense of sorrow.

Mu En first glanced at Xuanzi and Zhang Lexuan, who had different expressions, before slowly speaking.

"Actually, of the three freshmen you just mentioned, apart from the one named Tang San, I've already met with the other two, Xuanzi and I also chatted with the one named Huo Yuhao. That kid... left a deep impression on me."

"what?"

Yan Shaozhe paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "So, what do you think of him?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but raise her head, looking at Elder Mu with curiosity in her eyes, wanting to hear the Sea God Pavilion Master's evaluation of Huo Yuhao.

However, Moon did not rush to answer, but remained silent.

As his eyes flickered, the scene of Huo Yuhao's conversation with him reappeared before his eyes, along with the heart-stirring emotions hidden in those beautiful azure eyes, which he kept recalling in his mind.

"Arrogance, madness."

As the brief words came out of Mu En's mouth, not only Yan Shaozhe and Zhang Lexuan, but even Xuanzi was slightly taken aback.

Judging from Huo Yuhao's performance just now, he thought Elder Mu would give that young man a very high evaluation, but he didn't expect it to be these two words.

"That child knew better than anyone what he wanted, he knew the meaning of what he was doing, and he still went ahead without hesitation."

Seemingly noticing the confusion in their eyes, Mu En slowly explained.

"Such a person, if he has no power, it would be fine if he lived a mediocre life, but once he gains power, he will probably bring great turmoil to the whole world."

Hearing Mu En's words, Zhang Lexuan subconsciously recalled the chilling expression Huo Yuhao had when facing the evil soul master a year ago, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
