Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 134: Tang San's Ingenious Plan.
However, in Tang San's view, this was only a temporary setback. As long as he could control the auspicious beast, his plan could proceed steadily.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Wang Dong.
"Wait, Wang Dong. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. As the dean, I should help students in trouble. For such an excellent student like you, our Shrek Academy will be one of your backers."
As soon as the voice fell, Yan Shaozhe took Xiao Xiao and flew to Wang Dong's side. He stopped Wang Dong with a caring look on his face.
Yan Shaozhe was a Titled Douluo, after all. Although he had not yet become a Super Douluo like in the later period of the original novel, his strength was still formidable, and his flying speed was very fast.
While flying, he asked some passersby about Wang Dong's whereabouts, which made it easy for him to find Wang Dong.
Of course, it was relatively simple to locate Wang Dong because she had left a deep impression on passersby.
You know, Wang Dong was very beautiful, with her highly recognizable pink-blue hair—making her almost impossible not to notice.
Wang Dong (Tang San) was a little unhappy at this moment. He received Wang Dong's memory and naturally recognized Yan Shaozhe.
However, considering that Yan Shaozhe had not attacked Wang Dong, he couldn't directly attack him either. After all, according to the information from his original body, the old "God of Destruction" was still watching him in the God Realm.
For Tang San, controlling Xiao Qi's body to run around was a way to avoid detection. As long as the God of Destruction was not nearby, or if he used the monitors in the God Realm Committee to watch Wang Dong, he wouldn't be noticed.
But if he used divine power in violation of the rules of the God Realm, the God of Destruction would surely criticize him fiercely in the God Realm Committee.
Without the approval of the Committee, arbitrarily attacking the lives of lower-world beings was a serious matter. Given the conflict between the God of Destruction and himself, Tang San suspected that the other would not miss the chance to retaliate.
So, unless Xiao Qi was harmed, he would have a reason to take action.
Of course, "harm" didn't just mean physical injury—it also included spiritual harm. Thinking of this, Tang San felt a little depressed. He couldn't induce Yan Shaozhe to attack Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi was his daughter!
No, Yan Shaozhe's arrival might be a good thing.
Tang San considered this and felt he could let Yan Shaozhe take him to the Star Dou Great Forest. Just now, because the luck in the Star Dou region was rising, he was eager to send Xiao Qi's consciousness to the side of the auspicious beast and forgot about this plan.
Yan Shaozhe was a Titled Douluo, after all. In terms of flying speed, he was much faster than Xiao Qi.
So, Tang San directly controlled Wang Dong's body, making her look helpless: "Dean, I did encounter some difficulties because someone just sent me a message saying that Teacher Xiaoya appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"What!" Yan Shaozhe's face showed surprise. "Xiaoya? According to Beibei's intel, the academy has recently been cracking down on hidden evil soul masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms to find Xiaoya.
After all, evil soul masters have bad intentions and might capture Xiaoya to threaten Beibei. So far, only some evil soul masters have died in the region, and there's no sign of Xiaoya."
Wang Dong's face showed worry. "I don't know who that person is, but he asked me to go alone. Teacher Xiaoya is the leader of the Tang Sect. For her safety, I have to try—whether the message is true or not."
Yan Shaozhe sighed. "Wang Dong, what you said makes sense. In that case, you and Xiao Xiao should go back first. I'll handle the rest. After all, the person who can sneak into Shrek Academy unnoticed and send you a message must be a Titled Douluo. It's too risky for you to go alone."
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, confused. Then she immediately said, "The great Tang Sect ancestor, Tang San, once said that no matter what difficulties lie ahead, you can't give up on your teacher! So, please let me go with you!"
For Wang Dong, Tang Ya—the leader of the Tang Sect—is naturally regarded as an elder of the sect. So, claiming that Tang Ya was her teacher wasn't a problem.
Yan Shaozhe looked a bit confused. "Did Ancestor Tang San say such a thing?"
Wang Dong nodded vigorously. "Yes! There's a record inside the Clear Sky Sect! I grew up listening to the legend of Ancestor Tang San, so I've always admired him. Dean, please take me with you. If I can't help Sister Xiaoya, I'll feel guilty."
Xiao Xiao said: "Teacher, just take us along. I miss Teacher Xiaoya too."
Yan Shaozhe was silent for a moment. Seeing their persistence, he finally agreed: "Alright, then you can come with me. If the situation becomes dangerous later, I can still get you out safely—though I might have to pay a price."
He was Bright Phoenix Douluo, with the Bright Phoenix as his martial soul. With this martial soul, he had a strong ability to save his life and an incredibly fast flight speed.
In the God Realm.
Tang San stopped controlling Wang Dong. He left a consciousness in her mind to guide her to find the auspicious beast. As soon as she encountered it, some fragments of Xiao Qi's consciousness would enter the auspicious beast's body.
"This way, I will never be discovered by the God of Destruction. Everything is ready," he thought confidently, prepared to handle affairs in the God Realm.
As a God King, he often had many responsibilities to manage.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao had no time to pay attention to the discussion among the spirit souls in the spiritual sea. His gaze was fixed on the nearby Golden Tortoise and he said, "Even though the Gold of Life has come out of your body, you still face a huge problem: your lifespan is running out."
The Golden Tortoise was stunned for a moment, then sighed. "Yes, my lifespan is nearly gone. I guess Di Tian will imprison me until I die to ease his anger. My Lord, I will go see Di Tian with you."
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I am not a fierce beast; I am a human Soul Master."
The Golden Tortoise was confused. "Are you kidding? Based on your aura, I can conclude you are a powerful fierce beast. But I haven't recognized which one of the ten fierce beasts you are yet."
Since the Golden Tortoise had never left the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Ice Empress had always lived in the Extreme North, it had no experience with the Ice Empress aura. It was normal that it couldn't identify him.
"Of course, I'm not joking," Huo Yuhao said directly. He gathered the Ice Empress's aura on his body, and four soul rings appeared. "My name is Huo Yuhao. I am a human Soul Master."
The Golden Tortoise looked at his soul rings and hesitated. The attitude he was showing indicated he wasn't deliberately lying.
It wondered: are all human Soul Masters so powerful now? A four-ring Soul Ancestor could solve his problems. No—that wasn't right. The truly powerful ones weren't the human Soul Masters but the young man calling himself Huo Yuhao.
