Chapter 137: Tang San's Fury!
Based on her memories, Wang Dong had never received any voice transmission.
She also felt as if she was missing chunks of time, an issue far too dangerous to ignore.
Even now, she couldn't understand why she had memory gaps.
However, she had a theory that strange consciousness inside her mind was to blame.
Even though her two fathers insisted it was just an illusion, she was now certain that this intrusive presence had already caused serious problems for her.
"As soon as I return, I'll use my status as the Young Master of the Clear Sky Clan to invite the Medicine Immortal Douluo! I'll also gather some spiritual type Titled Douluos to see if they can help me resolve this issue!" Wang Dong secretly decided.
"We're here, Wang Dong. This is the location in Star Dou Forest that you indicated for Tang Ya."
Yan Shaozhe's voice snapped Wang Dong out of her thoughts, and she quickly looked ahead.
Throughout their journey, she had been plagued by headaches, while that sinister consciousness kept steering her toward this destination.
At first, she had resisted but the moment she did, her mouth had betrayed her, automatically spitting out a precise location.
This realization sent a chill down her spine.
It felt like her mind wasn't her own as if she was merely a tenant within her own body, while the true owner lurked in the shadows, pulling the strings.
Star Dou Forest was vast, but as a Titled Douluo, Yan Shaozhe could fly at incredible speeds.
Even Xuanzi, a Rank 98 powerhouse, couldn't match him in flight.
After all, his Bright Phoenix martial soul was far superior to Xuanzi's Gluttonous Divine Bull in terms of aerial mobility.
"Strange… there's nothing here."
Yan Shaozhe frowned.
All he could see was a lush, green forest, with no signs of anyone present.
This didn't match the information about Tang Ya's whereabouts at all.
Could this be a trap?
His heart tensed at the thought.
Immediately, he stepped in front of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, shielding them.
His soul shield activated, enveloping his body in a powerful defensive soul barrier.
Truth be told, Yan Shaozhe used to be a staunch opponent of soul tools.
In Shrek Academy, martial soul cultivation had always reigned supreme, standing above the soul tool division.
For most families who sent their children to Shrek, their goal was to have them become martial soul based soul masters, not soul engineers.
As a result, the soul tool division had long been neglected, left with only the students that the martial soul division rejected.
The situation had always been dire.
That is, until Elder Mu intervened.
Yan Shaozhe had personally witnessed three Rank 9 Soul Engineers suppress Xuanzi at the Starlight Auction House.
That incident made him completely rethink his stance.
Soul masters might be the mainstream, but soul tools were the future.
Those who refused to embrace soul tools would eventually fall behind in the new era.
Right now, his defensive soul barrier was an eighth rank soul tool, the highest level available at Shrek Academy.
"Where is the enemy hiding…?"
Although Yan Shaozhe was confident that he could retreat with the students if necessary, the unknown factor unsettled him.
Suddenly
A fragment of Tang Wutong's divine consciousness shot out from Wang Dong's mind, flying rapidly in a specific direction.
"Here it comes!"
Electrolux's voice rang out.
He had already combined his own divine sense with the spiritual energy of Tianmeng, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress to construct a Divine Sense Reflection Barrier his countermeasure against spiritual attacks.
Huo Yuhao had expected this outcome.
Even though he and Di Qiu'er had camouflaged themselves, his Mimicry soul skill couldn't prevent Tang Wutong's divine fragment from detecting them.
But that was fine.
As long as he neutralized Tang Wutong's divine fragment, Di Qiu'er would be safe for now.
After all, Tang San couldn't descend to the mortal world.
Unless, of course, he was willing to destroy the noble image he had painstakingly crafted.
Both the Second Generation of Kindness and the Second Generation of Evil viewed Tang San as a respectable predecessor.
But what they hated most were gods who illegally descended to the mortal world without the Divine Realm Committee's approval.
When they were still mortal soul masters, they had suffered great tragedies at the hands of Supros, a second tier god under the first generation Asura God, who had unlawfully descended.
Meanwhile, the God of Destruction had always loathed Tang San, ever since Tang San seized control of the Divine Realm's core.
The Goddess of Life, on the other hand, had a favorable impression of him.
Thus, in order to maintain his flawless facade, Tang San had no choice but to keep wearing his mask of "pure righteousness."
And once a mask is worn for too long, it can never be removed unless absolute victory is assured.
BOOM!
Huo Yuhao felt a jolt as the Divine Sense Reflection Barrier trembled under impact.
The incoming spiritual fragment quivered, cracks spreading across its surface.
Ultimately, under Electrolux's protection, the fragment was repelled.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong's eyes turned blank.
That intrusive voice in her mind…
Had suddenly weakened.
"Huh? Why do I feel… better after coming to Star Dou Forest?"
Divine Realm.
Tang San, who had been managing divine affairs, abruptly halted his movements.
His expression twisted into a furious snarl:
"Who dares interfere with my plans? You have chosen death!"
"Damn it! Xiao Qi's divine fragment was damaged!"
His instinct was to descend immediately but he forcibly restrained himself.
"No… I can't descend… I must not.
"Technically, Xiao Qi split off her own divine fragment voluntarily, and it was damaged as a result."
"That means, while she was harmed, it was ultimately my own miscalculation."
"The real problem is… if that damn Destruction bastard learns that I illegally descended, he'll seize the opportunity to investigate."
"If he then informs Xiao Wu about Xiao Qi's fragmented consciousness…"
"I'll be in serious trouble."
After weighing his options, Tang San sighed.
He reluctantly recalled the damaged divine fragment, his face pained as he examined its cracks.
He had no choice but to expend his precious faith energy to repair it.
Faith energy was crucial.
It could aid in forming divine positions the first generation Sea God had ascended by gathering faith energy.
It could also enhance a god's power.
Tang San had been planning to use it to elevate his Sea God position to God King level.
But now, he had to postpone his great plan just to patch up this fragment.
"Damn it! Why does repairing a divine fragment cost so much faith energy?!"
"Xiao Qi, try to self repair! Do it for Daddy's future, okay?"
Tang San's heart ached as he watched his precious faith energy drain away.
He cursed:
"Damn it… When the Tang Sect was thriving, I had an abundant supply of faith energy."
"But ever since the Sun Moon Continent collided with Douluo, the Tang Sect has been in decline."
"Now, I can barely extract any faith at all!"
"If only the Tang Sect were still powerful…"
