Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

TL – BluVerse

Qian Lei said, "I heard about that too. Going to the military sounds great! We can pilot warships."

Lan Xuanyu was a bit surprised, "You know a lot! How did you find out?"

Qian Lei chuckled, "Of course, we've got an insider. Boss, you don’t know this, but while you were away, some major gossip came out."

"What gossip?" Lan Xuanyu asked, puzzled.

"Dean Ying and Teacher Tang got back together. Hehehe. A broken mirror mended, isn't that amazing?"

Lan Xuanyu was shocked, "They got back together? Seriously?" He knew how much Ying Luohong used to be furious with Tang Zhenhua.

"Of course it's true. But that's not all; they even have a son, and he's in our class."

Lan Xuanyu was stunned, his mind racing, "So it’s not you, obviously. Who is it?" Even with his intelligence, he couldn’t figure it out right away.

"Hehe, it's that quiet guy, Ding Zhuohan! Haven't you noticed he looks a bit like Teacher Tang?" Qian Lei laughed mischievously.

Lan Xuanyu was speechless. He honestly hadn't noticed, mainly because most of the time, Teacher Tang's face was so dirty that it was hard to see his features clearly.

"Are you saying Zhuohan is Teacher Tang and Dean Ying’s son? Wow, that guy sure hid it well!" At this point, the fire of gossip was burning brightly in Lan Xuanyu's heart.

"You can't blame him. The poor guy cried his eyes out that day. He didn't even know that Teacher Tang was his dad until after the final exams when Dean Ying and Teacher Tang got back together and told him. So, now we’ve got an insider! You have no idea how strict Teacher Tang used to be with us, making our lives hell in the Star Wars class. But now, he's chasing after Zhuohan all the time, acting so obsequious. Haha, just thinking about it makes me laugh. Boss, can you imagine how big Zhuohan's mental shadow must be, suddenly finding out he has a dad?"

Lan Xuanyu was speechless again, "Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up." He really wanted to ask Qian Lei, "Do you know how big my mental shadow is? I just found out I have a dad too…"

"Actually, there is something, Boss. Have you noticed a problem? We haven’t been admitted to the Inner Court yet, and the Outer Courd classroom has been taken over by the new sixth years. We don’t even have a place to gather!"

Lan Xuanyu paused, realizing that was true. They hadn’t been allowed into the Eternal Sky City yet, and they were technically graduated from the Outer Courd, so they really had nowhere to go. Where could everyone meet?

"That’s a real problem. I’ll ask the dean how we can solve it. But I don’t think we’ll be staying at the academy for too long. Let’s wait for further notice. Don’t slack off on your training."

"Of course, Boss."

After hanging up, Lan Xuanyu didn’t rush to find Ying Luohong to ask for a gathering place for the class. He decided to head to the Tang Sect first.

Since they could be sent to the military for training at any moment, he needed to prepare in advance. After all, it was war.

Then, he dialed Deng Bo's number. "Brother Deng, I’m back. Is Hall Master Tang available? I’d like to see him. Okay, I’ll head over now."

Tang Miao happened to be at the Battle Hall when Lan Xuanyu left his dormitory and headed directly to the Tang Sect.

Half an hour later, he met Tang Miao at the Tang Sect headquarters.

When Tang Miao saw Lan Xuanyu again, his gaze was a bit different. Speaking of psychological shadows, Tang Miao and Meng Fei’s were truly massive. If you considered seniority, forget Tang Wulin; even Lan Xuanyu could be considered their ancestor.

During this time, while Lan Xuanyu was relaxing and vacationing on Heaven Duo Planet with Bai Xiuxiu, Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the War God Temple were all in an uproar because of the appearance of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena.

The three parties were constantly in discussions, and even Spirit Pagoda somehow got wind of the situation and joined in. Don’t forget, Gu Yuena was once the Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda, known as the strongest Pagoda Master in history. The Silver Dragon Princess, as she was called back then.

This led to a four-way tug-of-war, with the main debate being where the two of them, now that they had returned, should stay.

Shrek Academy was the most relaxed because Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were currently in the Eternal Sky City. The Tang Sect was also relatively at ease since they were closely aligned with Shrek Academy.

The War God Temple, however, felt aggrieved. As Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda collectively pointed out, “What do these two great beings have to do with you?”

In response, the War God Temple weakly argued, “At least Gu Yuena was revived by the Federation, wasn’t she?”

In the end, after much discussion, there was no resolution. Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were in seclusion, and no one knew when they would emerge. So, they had no choice but to wait until they finished their seclusion to decide.

Given that one was a Transcendent God and the other was at the pinnacle of True God, both being super-powerful individuals, even the Federal Government had no way to intervene. They could only let the two decide for themselves.

At this point, apart from Spirit Pagoda, the other three major forces noticed something. There seemed to be one person who could greatly influence Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, someone whose opinions would likely guide these two super-powerful beings.

So, the fact that Lan Xuanyu was their child was kept secret from Spirit Pagoda by Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the War God Temple. Few people knew this secret, so Spirit Pagoda had no source of information about it.

As a result, the War God Temple realized that drawing in Lan Xuanyu was their only breakthrough. They even went so far as to break the unspoken rule that Shrek Academy's Inner Court disciples should not join the military, warmly extending an invitation to him.

As for the Tang Sect, Tang Miao was undoubtedly the most pleased because he was the first to represent the Tang Sect in recruiting Lan Xuanyu, originally because of his talent, abilities, and status as the heir of the Life School.

Now, seeing Lan Xuanyu again, Tang Miao felt entirely different. Previously, he had always approached this young man with a mentor's mindset. But now, he realized that if they were to discuss seniority, things would get complicated.

"Xuanyu, you’ve just returned, haven’t you? Is there something you need?" Tang Miao quickly concealed his odd feelings and asked warmly.

Lan Xuanyu said, "Hall Master, here’s the situation. The academy informed us that our entire class has been allowed to join the Inner Court, and everyone has also joined the Tang Sect. In the next year or two, or even longer, we might be heading to the frontlines for training. You know, the frontlines aren’t like the Douluo World; it's a real battlefield, and on such a battlefield, we could encounter danger at any time. The Tang Sect's soul technology is the best in the Federation, so I was wondering if you could give us some good equipment. One reason is to protect ourselves, and the other is to help us accumulate military merits more effectively."

Tang Miao sighed with some exasperation, "I knew you were being unusually friendly and came to see me for a reason—you want benefits. Go ahead, tell me what you want. But don’t even think about a warship! The Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship was already an exception for you. Besides, when you’re with the military, you might not even be able to use a warship."

Lan Xuanyu blinked and smiled, "How did you know I was going to ask for a warship? That ecological warship we saw on Senluo Planet last time was pretty nice…"

"Stop right there!" Tang Miao quickly interrupted him. "The ecological warship is one of our biggest secrets, something even the Federation doesn’t know about. Do you think we can just let you take that to the military? You're such a smart kid, why do you keep saying silly things? Do you even know how expensive an ecological warship is to build?"

Lan Xuanyu blinked again and said, "No matter how expensive it is, it's meant to be used, right? Hall Master, don’t be so stingy."
