Chapter 166 - 58

Chapter 58 Oscar's Dream Ends!"Why?! Why did I go straight to Shrek Academy back then?!""Why... why didn't I think of going to Heaven Dou City to take a look?!That's the imperial capital, with the largest Spirit Master academy and the most opportunities... maybe... maybe I could have met Teacher Fu back then?!""Even if it was just a few years earlier... just a few years earlier!!"As he spoke, his dream self couldn't help but kneel on the ground, fists pounding the earth repeatedly as tears fell uncontrollably.Every "why" was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly striking the heart of the eight-year-old Oscar who was watching, making him feel the same suffocating pain and agony!..."Little Ao! Little Ao! Wake up! If you don't get up now, you'll be late for morning practice!"The familiar shouting and the shaking of his body abruptly dragged Oscar from that long and heavy dream back to reality.He sat up from the bed with a start, drenched in sweat, his heart pounding wildly. He gasped for air, staring blankly ahead, unable to focus for a long time.Ning Rongrong's tears, Teacher Fu Shiyan's world-shaking spirit rings and cultivation, the news of Senior Tang Hao's fall, Yu Xiaogang's detestable true face, and his own final cries of regret... everything was so clear!The lingering emotional impact made his chest feel tight, and tears had filled his eyes at some unknown point.Was this... really just a dream?Why did everything in the dream feel so real?And... Heaven Dou City?Is Teacher Fu... really in Heaven Dou City?The eight-year-old Oscar, clutching his chaotic and painful heartbeat, fell into an unprecedented state of confusion... [Detected faith power points provided by Oscar: 320,000 points!]Far away in that residence in Nuoding City, a pleasant notification sound rang in Fu Shiyan's mind.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he turned his gaze toward the Balak Kingdom."The seed has been planted... next, it's just a matter of waiting for the right moment for it to sprout."—————————————————Nuoding Academy.The process of Tang San convincing Xiao Wu went much smoother than he had anticipated.When he found Xiao Wu patrolling her territory in the work-study student activity area and stuttered out that his master was taking him to a secret place to cultivate and that they might be gone for a long time, he asked if she was willing to go with them.Xiao Wu just tilted her head, blinked her large pink eyes, and readily agreed."Sure!"She even shook her head with some excitement, her two rabbit ears swaying along with the movement."It sounds so mysterious when you say it? Is it fun? It must be more interesting than Nuoding City, right?"Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vaguely."Yeah... it should be more interesting than here."Looking at her innocent and trusting appearance, Tang San's heart softened, and he made a solemn promise:"Xiao Wu, I will definitely protect you!"Xiao Wu obviously didn't realize why Tang San suddenly said that, her clear eyes filled with confusion.Two days later, at the agreed meeting point outside Nuoding City.When Tang San walked up to Fu Shiyan holding Xiao Wu's hand, a look of understanding flashed in Fu Shiyan's eyes, and he gave Tang San a slight nod.Xiao Wu looked at Fu Shiyan curiously. This silver-haired young man whom Little San called master indeed had an extraordinary temperament, but she mostly felt that he was good-looking and had a gentle aura.However, when her gaze fell on the tall, silent figure behind Fu Shiyan—Fu Ze—the hair all over her body stood on end instantly!"Ah!"She let out a low cry and almost instinctively shrank behind Tang San, her small hands tightly clutching the corner of his clothes, revealing only half of her small face and a pair of eyes full of vigilance and terror as she stared fixedly at Fu Ze.Her keen instincts as a Spirit Beast made her feel an unprecedented danger!This middle-aged man in black before her had an aura as deep as an abyss; standing there, he was like an unsheathed lethal weapon!She even suspected... could this be a Spirit Douluo, or even... a Titled Douluo?!Thinking of this, she became even more afraid and burrowed further behind Tang San.Fu Ze naturally noticed Xiao Wu's abnormality, but his expression remained unchanged. He merely bowed slightly to Fu Shiyan and looked away, restraining all his aura like an ordinary follower.Fu Shiyan understood and smiled gently at Xiao Wu."Don't be afraid. This is Fu Ze, my family. He won't hurt you."Xiao Wu was skeptical, but seeing Tang San nod to her as well, she relaxed slightly, though she still stayed close to Tang San, not daring to get too near Fu Ze."Everyone's here, let's go." Fu Shiyan didn't delay any further and waved his hand.Fu Ze released his spirit power, enveloping everyone, and turned into an inconspicuous stream of light, quietly leaving the Nuoding City area and speeding toward Heaven Dou City... Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.Bibi Dong sat atop her throne, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, a hint of impatience hidden in her phoenix-like eyes.The Spirit Douluo Feng Erla, who had been sent to Nuoding City, had last reported that Yu Xiaogang had left Nuoding City and safely arrived in Suotuo City.It had been two days past the scheduled reporting time, yet there was still no word from him."Could an accident have happened? Even a Spirit Douluo..."Just as the thought crossed her mind, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.A Cardinal hurried in, knelt on one knee, and spoke with urgency and shock:"Reporting to Her Holiness the Pope! Urgent news from Vast Sea City! An hour ago, the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao allegedly appeared and attacked the Vast Sea City Spirit Hall branch!""The Branch Bishop is heavily injured, three Spirit Saints have fallen, and thirty percent of the buildings in the hall are destroyed!""What?!"Bibi Dong stood up abruptly, her beautiful face covered in frost, and killing intent surged instantly."Tang Hao! He actually dares to show himself!""Report the details!" Bibi Dong said coldly."Yes! According to survivor descriptions, the attacker was tall with messy hair and a black robe, using the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit. His spirit power was as vast as the sea, at least at the Titled Douluo level, matching Tang Hao's characteristics perfectly!""The opponent struck once and left without lingering, seemingly... just for intimidation and destruction."A sharp light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.Tang Hao's appearance, especially such an arrogant attack on the Sacred Hall, was undoubtedly a serious provocation to Spirit Hall.In comparison, the lead on a Spirit Emperor genius in Nuoding City and a few lost secret guards seemed less urgent."Pass the order!"Her voice was icy. "Have Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo take an Investigation Team to Vast Sea City and the surrounding areas to search for Tang Hao's tracks with all their might! I want him found, dead or alive!""As for Nuoding City..."She pondered for a moment. "Send an elite team of Spirit Emperors to continue the investigation in secret, focusing on finding Feng Erla's whereabouts and the background of that silver-haired Spirit Emperor.But the priority... is secondary to the hunt for Tang Hao.""Understood!" The Cardinal took the order and left.
