Dormitory 108.
"I came back for those who couldn't return..."
These words echoed in Wang Dong's mind, shaking her to the core.
How many people had that damned guy killed?
Right, he didn't even spare his own daughter. How could he spare others?
"Who exactly is he?"
Wang Dong asked with a serious expression, vowing to make that damned guy pay.
"Sea God Tang San, of course. I've been so straightforward, yet you still can't connect the dots with your own identity. How foolish."
"Having a subordinate like you makes me feel utterly exhausted."
Huo Yuhao said with a hint of frustration, a trace of loneliness flashing in his eyes.
"What?!"
Wang Dong widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe.
The Sea God, who was said to be so majestic, was actually such a person?
She... she was the daughter of Sea God Tang San?
"Tang San was never a good person. If you knew his past and his future, you wouldn't be so conflicted."
"A gentleman born in a small country is not at fault for being a gentleman."
Huo Yuhao said calmly.
Tang Wutong? Let's not even mention her.
Wang Dong'er and "Wang Qiu'er" were not at fault. They had no memories of Tang Wutong and were essentially independent individuals.
Those disgusting things weren't done by these two.
They couldn't change their birth, and that wasn't their fault.
Hearing this, Wang Dong's conflicted expression gradually softened, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.
Yes, she couldn't decide where she was born, but she could decide what kind of person she wanted to be.
"What was his past like? Was it really as the rumors say?"
"If it's a rumor, then it's naturally embellished."
"Fine, since I don't feel like sleeping tonight, I'll tell you the story starting from the Path of Death."
"???"
That phrase sounded so familiar... as if she had heard it before.
The Path of Death?!
"Terrifying!"
"This story starts ten thousand years ago, when Tang San was only six years old, and his martial soul had just awakened three months prior..."
The moon set, and the sun rose. In the blink of an eye, it was morning.
Yet, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong showed no signs of fatigue, as if they were completely immersed in the story.
"Boss, Tang San actually reincarnated by possessing someone else's body?"
"So, am I really his daughter?"
"Is he insane? Why did he destroy Slaughter City?"
"No wonder it's so hard for commoners to awaken their martial souls now. Tang San kept saying it was for the commoners, but he was actually protecting the interests of the nobility."
"Destroying the Spirit Hall only stripped the ignorant commoners of any chance to resist..."
"..."
Throughout the night, Wang Dong kept asking questions, then getting angry, questioning, her expression constantly changing.
Especially when she learned that Tang San had possessed a child's body to reincarnate. Was she Tang San's daughter, or the daughter of that body?
"From a physical perspective, you're the daughter of that body."
"From a philosophical standpoint, you have no relation to them. You're just the pure part extracted from Tang Wutong's soul. You are yourself."
"As for why Tang San did this, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe he was just sick."
"Especially that line: 'Revive, my love...'"
"If you don't believe me, when I get stronger, I'll go to the Star Dou Forest and capture a fierce beast for you to ask. Let's see what it says!"
"The fierce beasts in the Star Dou Forest lived through that dark history."
Hearing this, Wang Dong's face darkened, and she quickly waved her hand. "Forget it, forget it. This is too awkward."
The thought that she was the daughter of a rabbit spirit and Tang San made her nauseous.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao said that, philosophically, she had no relation to them.
"Then, my 'Big Dad' and 'Second Dad' must be the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?"
Niu Tian and Tai Tan had truly been good to her. She didn't know how to face these two "people."
Tang San and Xiao Wu were despicable, but that was on them. Niu Tian and Tai Tan were not to blame.
After a long while, Wang Dong finally said softly, "Boss, our enemy is Tang San. Do I really have a chance to defeat him?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "Just focus on cultivating. When the time comes, I'll tie him up, and you can slap him silly!"
"I'm the Child of Fortune of the Douluo Continent. A mere Tang San? I'll crush him with a flick of my hand!"
"Oh~"
Wang Dong nodded, her expression full of trust.
No wonder, no wonder Huo Yuhao, at such a young age, possessed such self-created soul skills and strength.
So he had returned from the future. These were his skills all along; it was just a matter of whether he could use them or not.
The Child of Fortune knowing he's the Child of Fortune, that's quite bizarre.
Wang Dong still had many questions, but she had received too much information today and needed time to digest it.
"Boss, thank you."
"Just say thanks with your words. Don't get any other ideas."
"I'm a married man!"
Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly.
But the more he said this, the more unwilling Wang Dong became!
She was the one who came first!
According to the original trajectory, Huo Yuhao was supposed to be her husband, but Tang Wutong had "stolen" him.
"Forget it, I won't think about it now. I need to focus on cultivating, so I don't run out of strength when I slap Tang San!"
"And Xiao Wu, she needs to be dealt with too!"
Wang Dong clenched her fists, then looked out the window at the scenery.
"It's already six o'clock..."
"Boss, I'm going to get breakfast. There's still a match later."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I'm going to take a nap."
"Oh, and when you're far from me, don't talk about that person. Without me by your side, your words and actions will be monitored by him."
Wang Dong was stunned, then nodded heavily.
"Okay, I understand!"
As for how Huo Yuhao avoided that person's surveillance, that was Huo Yuhao's secret, and she wouldn't pry.
The freshman assessment continued smoothly, and soon, it was time for the semifinals.
Only four teams remained: Team Hua Huo, Team Ning Tian, Team Dai Huabin, and Team Huang Chutian.
Mu Jin stood proudly in the audience, but a trace of worry flashed across her face.
All the students in her class had passed the freshman assessment, which was a good thing. This was the first time in Shrek Academy's history that an entire class had passed the assessment!
Class Nine had also secured two of the top four spots, which was also a good thing.
But she was afraid of a "collision"!
If Team Ning Tian faced Team Hua Huo, there would be no need to fight. They might as well concede and compete for third place.
If there was no "collision," Class Nine might even take the top two spots. What an honor that would be!
Meanwhile, Dai Huabin clenched his fists tightly, staring at Huo Yuhao.
Today, he would challenge this former country bumpkin and crush him mercilessly!
After much effort, he had managed to pressure his family into "persuading" Zhu Lu to cooperate with him in using their martial soul fusion skill. He wasn't about to give up now.
