Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

"How could this be...?"

Tang Wulin subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at Wu Changkong with hope, hoping that Wu Changkong would stand up and deny Su Mo's statement.

Faced with the facts presented by Su Mo, Wu Changkong could only nod helplessly, indicating that Su Mo was right.

The fact that only Soft Bone Douluo among the original Shrek Academy members did not become a god is already common knowledge among the top forces of the Sun Moon Federation.

The reason why some people believe that all of the Shrek Seven Devils have become gods is because Shrek Academy has been downplaying this point in its external publicity.

They have always claimed that the Shrek Seven Devils ascended to the God Realm together, which is why they give people this misconception.

Upon seeing Wu Changkong's admission, Tang Wulin felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, and a sense of loss inexplicably flashed through his mind.

"Why, why didn't the Soft Bone Douluo become a god?"

Seemingly unable to accept this fact, Tang Wulin suddenly stood up excitedly.

Seeing Tang Wulin suddenly become agitated, Xie Xie quickly tugged at Tang Wulin's sleeve and whispered, "Wulin, why are you so agitated! It's not like you haven't become a god yet!"

Reminded by Xie Xie, Tang Wulin realized that he had been somewhat out of line.

"I'm sorry!" Tang Wulin said, bending down and bowing deeply to Wu Changkong.

"Wu Lin, there's no need to worry about it so much."

Wu Changkong waved his hand, completely disregarding Tang Wulin's offense.

Of the six students in Class Zero, Wu Changkong's favorite is Tang Wulin.

Of course, this is definitely not because Tang Wulin came from a poor background and had a mysterious bloodline, making him the most suitable candidate for the Tang Clan's recruitment criteria.

"The reason why the Soft Bone Douluo did not become a god is because he sacrificed himself to protect Tang San's ancestor, which made his foundation unstable and thus prevented him from becoming a god."

Seeing that Tang Wulin still looked depressed, Wu Changkong kindly offered a word of comfort.

Hearing Wu Changkong's explanation, Tang Wulin felt much better.

But before Tang Wulin could even settle in, Su Mo feigned sudden enlightenment and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is? I thought it was because the Soft Bone Douluo was a soul beast that he couldn't become a god?"

Seeing that Tang Wulin, whom he had finally managed to calm down, was about to be led astray by Su Mo again, Wu Changkong glared at Su Mo fiercely, "Shut up! The Sea God once said that when a soul beast transforms and rebuilds its body, it is no longer a soul beast, but a human."

After being glared at by Wu Changkong, Su Mo muttered under his breath, "What kind of human drops soul rings and soul bones after being killed?!"

Although Su Mo's voice was soft, Wu Changkong, a six-ring Soul Emperor, heard it clearly. "Su Mo, are you questioning Lord Sea God's words?"

Thus, an accusation of disrespect for the gods was slapped on their heads.

Hearing Wu Changkong say that, Su Mo also got angry.

It's just labeling someone; anyone can do that.

Su Mo retorted without hesitation, "The Federation has never listed soul beasts that have undergone transformation and rebirth as federal citizens. Does this mean the Federation is also questioning the Sea God?"

"Or is Ms. Wu questioning federal law?"

Looking across the entire Federation, apart from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, the other forces in the Federation did not have much respect for Tang San, the Sea God, and even harbored a slight aversion to him.

If it weren't for the Sea God's lack of martial virtue and his biased stance, the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires would have been annihilated by their Sun Moon Empire on the Douluo Continent long ago.

Where else could they escape to other continents and become the biggest obstacle to the unification of Douluo Star by the Federation?

"You..." Wu Changkong was speechless after being rebuked.

In the past, Wu Changkong would have refuted Su Mo without hesitation.

But now it has been far too long since the last time the sea god appeared, so long that people have forgotten their reverence for the sea god.

Moreover, openly questioning federal law is a serious offense.

Seeing Wu Changkong rendered speechless by Su Mo's rebuttal, Tang Wulin stepped forward indignantly.

Although Tang Wulin didn't know why he felt this way, he felt inexplicably annoyed after hearing Su Mo's disdainful tone.

"Su Mo, soul beasts are also living beings. We cannot and should not kill them indiscriminately."

Tang Wulin's saintly remarks caused a sudden glint to flash in Gu Yue's beautiful eyes.

Xie Xie and the others nodded in agreement.

In response to Tang Wulin's meaningless and empty talk, Su Mo calmly retorted, "So, Tang Wulin, are you saying that as long as we have a legitimate reason, we can hunt soul beasts at will?"

"this……"

Tang Wulin was stunned by Su Mo's question and stammered for a long time, unsure how to answer.

Seeing that Tang Wulin couldn't answer, Su Mo continued to press, "Then let me ask you another question. Under the same conditions, if a human and a soul beast are both in danger, would you choose to save the human or the soul beast?"

"By the way, you can only choose one!"

Su Mo directly brought up the trolley problem from Earth.

However, before Tang Wulin could even speak, Tang San, who was hiding deep within Tang Wulin's consciousness, quickly advised him, "Wulin, don't answer this question!"

If it were Tang San himself, whether it were a human or a soul beast, he would only choose the one that was most beneficial to him.

But now Tang Wulin is in a dilemma because Su Mo has forced him into a corner.

If the answer is to save humanity, without a doubt, an invisible rift will form between Gu Yue and Tang Wulin.

If the answer were to say "save the soul beasts," it would seem too deliberate and easily alert Gu Yue to something.

Furthermore, with Su Mo having already blocked the only way out, Tang Wulin had no choice but to remain silent and muddle through if he wanted to break the deadlock.

On Tang Wulin's side, Tang San's request was somewhat strange.

But Tang Wulin still chose to believe Old Tang and remained silent.

Seeing Tang Wulin remain silent and try to evade the issue, Su Mo naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity for a sharp sword slip by.

"See, isn't the answer obvious?"

"No one would betray their own kind for a soul beast."

"A soul beast is a soul beast. Even if it transforms and rebuilds its cultivation, it doesn't change the fact that it is a soul beast."

"Once a soul beast, always a soul beast."

"The purpose of soul beasts is to provide soul rings for soul masters, serving as stepping stones for their advancement."

"..."

Su Mo got more and more excited as he talked, and his smug look made you want to punch him.

Although Xie Xie and the others didn't say anything, their silence was the best answer.

Seeing that Su Mo's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Gu Yue slammed her hand on her hand and shouted sharply, "Su Mo, that's enough!"

No one in the classroom, including Tang Wulin, expected Gu Yue to be so angry.

Gu Yue's change of expression was so swift that even Wu Changkong on the podium didn't have time to react.

However, they didn't pay much attention, assuming that Gu Yue did this for Tang Wulin's sake.

Only Su Mo, Tang San, and Gu Yue herself knew the real reason for Gu Yue's anger.

In Tang Wulin's sea of ​​consciousness, looking at the furious Gu Yue, Tang San wished he could rush out right now and tear Su Mo to pieces.

"Su Mo, you've already chosen your own path to death!"

"Fine, I won't talk then! Why are you yelling so loudly!"

Seeing Gu Yue lose her temper, Su Mo outwardly shrank back in fear, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

Su Mo's words, ostensibly addressed to Tang Wulin, were actually aimed directly at Gu Yue.

Su Mo's purpose was to warn Gu Yue, to make her realize her identity as a soul beast, and to stop having unrealistic fantasies.

Otherwise, if Gu Yue is determined to be with Tang Wulin, Su Mo will have no choice but to kill her.

Su Mo was also quite interested in the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King.

Don't forget that Su Mo once served as an assistant to Bei Liu Hu, so he naturally has the Ghost Sprout Technique at his fingertips.

However, Su Mo did not want to take action against Gu Yue unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, this wasn't because Su Mo was lusting after Gu Yue's body.

The reason Su Mo went to such lengths to remind Gu Yue was twofold: firstly, to repay Bi Ji for the care she had received in the Star Dou Forest.

Secondly, the Silver Dragon King is a relatively important fighting force, and may be able to contribute in the future fight against the God Realm.

Seeing the increasingly awkward atmosphere in the classroom, Wu Changkong glared at Su Mo resentfully and announced helplessly, "get out of class dismissed."
