Black World, Shrek Academy.
[Dual Douluo comparison, the fourth stage comparison is complete!]
[In seven days, at the same time, the fifth stage comparison video will continue to be broadcast!]
After Tang Chuan accepted his reward and chose not to reveal it, lines of golden text immediately appeared across the comparison heaven screen.
At the same time, a vast, cold, and majestic voice echoed in the minds of all humans and sentient Spirit Beasts.
With the conclusion of this round of the comparison video, Tang Hao appeared without warning and strode quickly toward Tang San.
"His Eminence Haotian!"
Yu Xiaogang was startled upon seeing him and immediately stepped forward, bowing respectfully.
"Greetings, His Eminence Haotian!"
At the same moment, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and the other teachers of Shrek Academy, along with Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and the rest, all hurriedly followed suit and paid their respects.
Only Xiao Wu's delicate and charming face suddenly turned pale. Her slender hands clenched tightly as fear and unease rose in her heart, and she instinctively hid behind Tang San.
Little San's father is a Titled Douluo…
If he has been watching over Little San all this time, then wouldn't my identity have already been exposed?
For a moment, Xiao Wu was filled with anxiety and confusion, completely at a loss for what to do.
"Little San, come with me."
After approaching Tang San, Tang Hao spoke in a low and steady voice.
"This comparison heaven screen has already exposed the identities of both of us. From the earlier videos, you have also seen the grievances between our family and Spirit Hall."
"Now that Spirit Hall knows you are here at Shrek Academy, they will certainly make a move against you."
"We must leave immediately."
As he spoke, Tang Hao's gaze shifted slightly toward Xiao Wu, and a faint frown appeared on his face.
He began considering how to deal with her.
No matter what, this hundred-thousand-year transformed Soft Bones Rabbit was something he had prepared for his son. In the future, she could become the spirit ring for Tang San's second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, so she had to be taken along.
Otherwise, if Spirit Hall arrived first, this rare opportunity would fall into their hands instead.
However, the moment Tang Hao expressed his intention to take Tang San away, Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened, and a trace of panic surfaced.
"Your Eminence, you mustn't!"
As Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang had always intended to cultivate him into a peerless powerhouse, using his success to prove his own status as a master of martial soul theory.
After all, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had been cultivated under his guidance, following his martial soul mimicry theory by absorbing spirit rings from animal-type Spirit Beasts.
Because of this, Yu Xiaogang firmly believed that Tang San's achievements were the direct result of his teaching.
If Tang Hao took Tang San away now, then how could he use this disciple to prove his own theories?
Therefore, he absolutely could not allow Tang Hao to leave with Tang San.
But when Tang Hao's gaze fell upon him, Yu Xiaogang felt his heart tighten. Forcing himself to remain calm, he quickly began thinking of a way to persuade him.
Soon, an idea formed.
"Your Eminence Haotian."
Standing with his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang adopted a composed and insightful demeanor. His stiff expression carried an air of confidence as he spoke in a low, slightly hoarse, yet earnest tone.
"I understand your concerns."
"But this comparison video has already revealed that Little San will become both the Sea God and the Asura God in the future."
"This is a path he achieved step by step under his current circumstances."
"If you take him away from Shrek Academy now and disrupt his original cultivation trajectory, it may alter that future outcome."
Hearing this, Tang Hao paused, momentarily stunned. His brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.
Yu Xiaogang's words made sense.
He had only been thinking about removing his son from danger, but had overlooked the possibility that such interference might disrupt the future where Tang San ascends to godhood.
Tang Hao cared about Tang San, but not out of simple parental affection. Rather, it was because Tang San possessed Innate Full Spirit Power and twin martial souls, holding extraordinary potential. He could become a supreme expert capable of avenging both their family and the Clear Sky Sect.
Now that it was confirmed Tang San would become a god, Tang Hao became even more cautious about interfering.
If his actions caused Tang San to lose that future, the consequences would be irreversible.
A god could undoubtedly destroy Spirit Hall and avenge everything.
But if Tang San only reached the level of Titled Douluo, that outcome would no longer be certain.
Seeing Tang Hao hesitate, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of satisfaction and pride.
So what if he is the mighty Clear Sky Douluo?
In the end, isn't he still being guided by my words?
I, Yu Xiaogang, truly possess unparalleled wisdom, worthy of being called a master of martial soul theory!
"Your Eminence Haotian," Yu Xiaogang continued, pressing his advantage.
"Although the comparison heaven screen has revealed your situation, back when you first broke through to Titled Douluo, you defeated Qian Xunji, a level ninety-five Titled Douluo with the Seraphim Martial Soul, with a single hammer strike."
"After all these years, your strength must have grown even further."
"Aside from Spirit Hall, no other force would dare to act against Little San."
"As for Spirit Hall, I can tell you this."
"I share a past connection with Bibi Dong, and I also understand Qian Daoliu to some extent."
"Qian Daoliu is rigid and bound by principles, a man who strictly adheres to moral standards. He would never stoop to targeting a child."
"And as for Bibi Dong, for my sake, she likely would not make a move against Little San either."
"You can rest assured. If Little San remains at Shrek Academy while you protect him from the shadows, nothing will happen."
Under Yu Xiaogang's continuous persuasion, Tang Hao finally took a deep breath. He glanced at Flender, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and the others before speaking in a solemn tone.
"Very well."
"I will leave Little San in your care. I hope that under your guidance, he can successfully ascend to godhood."
"I will guard him from the shadows."
With that, Tang Hao turned around, preparing to leave and once again hide himself.
"Dad!"
At that moment, Tang San suddenly called out, his voice filled with longing and anticipation.
"Dad, can you take me to see Mom?"
"Now that I know everything, I really want to see her!"
Having grown up deprived of parental love, especially from his mother, Tang San had always carried a deep longing in his heart.
Before, he had believed his mother was gone forever.
But after witnessing the reunion of Tang Chuan and Ah Yin in the White World through the comparison video, that buried desire surged forth uncontrollably.
He wanted to see his mother, Ah Yin, and experience the warmth of parental love he had long dreamed of, even in his previous life.
However, when faced with Tang San's request, Tang Hao immediately felt a splitting headache.
The reason he had turned to leave so quickly just now was precisely because he feared this very question would be asked.
