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

"Gu Yue, what about you?"

Wu Changkong turned to look at Gu Yue. In Class Zero, besides Tang Wulin, Gu Yue was the one Wu Changkong favored the most.

"No, I already have an organization I want to join."

Gu Yue calmly declined Wu Changkong's invitation.

Just as Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were about to ask why, Wu Changkong stopped them with a gesture.

"Since you already have an organization you want to join, I won't force you to."

Wu Changkong was a little disappointed that he couldn't bring Gu Yue into the Tang Clan, but he had already achieved his main objective for this trip.

Wu Changkong's main purpose in coming here this time was to recruit Tang Wulin into the Tang Sect; Xie Xie and Gu Yue were just incidental.

Just as Wu Changkong finished registering Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, the soul-guided communicator in his pocket rang.

As soon as the call connected, news about Su Mo came from the other end.

"Teacher Wu Changkong, your student Su Mo has woken up. Please come to the hospital."

Upon hearing that Su Mo had woken up, Wu Changkong immediately took Tang Wulin and the others to the hospital to visit Su Mo without any hesitation.

……

"Hiss~"

On the ward bed of the First Affiliated Hospital of Donghai City, Su Mo, who had just woken up, felt a heart-wrenching pain as soon as she moved her body slightly.

"Is activating the fourth activation point and the injury gate at the same time too much of a burden on the body?"

Looking at the bandages wrapped all over his body, Su Mo sighed helplessly.

Even though he had already used the Ice and Fire Body Tempering Technique to enhance his physique, the side effects of using the Seven-Day Breathing Technique and the Eight Gates Formation at the same time were still too great.

Su Mo didn't have to be injured like this.

Facing Tang San, who has gained twenty times the strength, using the fifth activation of the Seven-Day Breathing Technique or the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of Blockage, would be sufficient to deal with him.

Although there may be aftereffects, at most it will just mean lying in bed weak for a few days, not being unable to move at all like this.

The reason I had to use the Seven-Day Breathing Technique and the Eight Gates Formation simultaneously, despite the enormous aftereffects, was to create a reason for myself to get close to Tang Wulin.

Because of the persona she had established before, she was destined not to be able to openly become friends with Tang Wulin.

Otherwise, even if he could fool Tang Wulin, he wouldn't be able to fool Tang San, who is so shrewd.

After the incident at the Hall of Heroes, Su Mo didn't know why Tang San had decided to attack him.

But there is at least a 99% certainty that the three old silver coins are residing in Tang Wulin's body.

Therefore, Su Mo plans to emulate Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's relationship and create a persona for herself that is outwardly aloof but inwardly very soft.

As soon as she was teleported out, she fell towards Tang Wulin's direction.

Speaking of which, I should thank Tang San.

If Tang San hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have been able to find a way to connect with Tang Wulin in such a short time.

As for why she went to great lengths to become friends with Tang Wulin, it was naturally because of the strangeness about Tang Wulin.

Regarding Douluo Continent, Su Mo had only read the first part when he was on Blue Star, and he had only heard of the second part, Peerless Tang Sect.

Su Mo's understanding of what happened after Tang San became a god came entirely from his partner, the plane master of Douluo Continent—the plane spirit.

The owner of the mysterious voice that rang in Su Mo's ear three years ago when Su Mo transformed and left the Star Dou Forest was the spirit of the plane of Douluo Continent.

However, even the spirit of the plane itself didn't know what was going on with Tang Wulin.

If it knew Tang Wulin's situation, it would have informed itself long ago.

After all, it doesn't have a way out like I do.

If he couldn't defeat Tang Hao and his wife, he could simply hide.

But the spirits of the planes are different; if they fail...

Its fate was to be devoured and its power divided up by Tang Hao and his wife.

As for why he wanted to cooperate with the spirits of the plane, that involves his own resurrection.

Previously, Su Mo was blasted away by the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball. He didn't know why his soul didn't return to the Pure Land but instead transmigrated to the Douluo Universe.

Because the soul does not belong to this world, the underworld of Douluo Continent cannot receive its soul.

If no one intervenes, Su Mo's soul will slowly dissipate into the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

Just when Su Mo was in despair and thought he was going to die, the spirit of the Douluo Continent intervened and saved Su Mo's soul from the vast universe.

After some friendly negotiations, Su Mo agreed to help the spirit of the plane deal with Tang Hao and his wife if it resurrected him.

As for why he reincarnated as a soul beast, it was because the spirit of the plane didn't trust him.

If it reincarnates as a human, and is brainwashed into worshipping Tang San, then it will have no hope left.

Unfortunately, while the Sun Moon Federation doesn't like Tang San, it won't openly oppose him either.

Moreover, thanks to the efforts of the two major powers, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, over the past ten thousand years, ordinary humans on the Douluo Continent have long regarded Tang San as their sole faith.

It can be said that apart from evil soul masters, there are basically no forces opposing Tang San on the entire Douluo Star.

To make Su Mo a demonic soul master?

This path is also impassable because of Harosa, which Tang Hao accidentally created using his dimensional authority.

Because Su Mo was its last hope, when Su Mo was reincarnated, it would use its remaining power to elevate Su Mo to the status of the chosen one of the plane.

Although Harosa was created by Tang Hao, he, like Huo Yuhao and Su Mo, is a true chosen one of the plane.

"The king does not meet the king"

When two chosen ones from different planes meet, they will subconsciously have the thought of devouring each other.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, the spirit of the plane specially reincarnated Su Mo into the soul beast camp, which has a long-standing feud with humans.

This way, they can avoid human brainwashing and also avoid meeting Harosa, which is killing two birds with one stone.

It's impossible for Su Mo to become a land-based spirit beast and still worship Tang San!

It's quite ironic that the spirit of the plane, who was originally as innocent and naive as a blank sheet of paper and only thought about bringing blessings to all living beings, not only developed a strong sense of self under the constant pressure from Tang Hao and his wife, but also learned to calculate gains and losses.

……

Of course, becoming friends with Tang Wulin does not mean that he will not attack Tang Wulin.

There's an old saying on Earth: "Aren't friends meant to be betrayed?"

Besides, it's not my style to leave a grudge unavenged.

Anyone can resort to dirty tricks!

Not to mention, there was the perfect excuse of "Wu Changkong".

I want to see how many times the power Tang San left on Tang Wulin can protect him.

Holy Spirit Cult, launch!

Just as Su Mo was about to call someone to surprise Tang San, Wu Changkong walked in with Tang Wulin and the others.

"Su Mo, are you alright?"

Wu Changkong's first words upon entering left Su Mo speechless. Did he look like he was alright, with his entire body wrapped in bandages?

If you can't speak, then don't speak.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were following behind Wu Changkong, exchanged a glance, their expressions indescribable.

"Feel sorry!"

Seeing that the gazes from others were becoming increasingly strange, Wu Changkong realized that he had said the wrong thing and, for the first time ever, apologized to Su Mo.

How are you doing now?

"It's not good at all!"

Su Mo coughed violently a few more times as she spoke.

After a long silence, Wu Changkong slowly spoke, "On behalf of the Tang Sect, I apologize for this accident."

"But don't worry, I've already reported your situation to the Tang Clan headquarters, and they've already sent someone over."

"All expenses incurred during your hospitalization will be reimbursed by Tangmen, and I believe headquarters will also provide you with satisfactory compensation."

Su Mo nodded in agreement; Wu Changkong was right about that.

If the Tang Clan doesn't want me to expose this matter, they will definitely spend a lot of money to shut me up.

Although the Tang Clan is an arms dealer, it pays special attention to maintaining its reputation among the people.

The Tang Clan understands very well that once they lose their reputation among the people, they will be no different from other arms dealers.

By then, it won't be so easy for the Tang Sect to recruit talent from Shrek.
