Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 138 Oh no, could it really be Tang San who did this? (Two chapters combined)

Niu Tian couldn't understand Tang San's decision to send Wang Dong'er to the Sun Moon Empire.

Seeing that Niu Tian remained silent, Titan, growing increasingly impatient, scratched his head and finally spoke up:
"Brother, say something! Why did he send Xiaodong to that godforsaken place, the Sun Moon Empire? What are we going to do?"

Titan's words interrupted Niu Tian's thoughts, startling him from his reverie. Hearing his second brother's words, even though he wanted to say something, he could only sigh deeply in helplessness.

"What else can we do? He must have his own plans. We have no choice but to send Xiaodong to the Sun Moon Empire."

As soon as Niu Tian finished speaking, Titan's expression immediately fell. After all, she wasn't their daughter, and they had no right to interfere in her future plans.

"Second Sect Master, Young Master, the young master is back."

Just as Niu Tian and Titan fell silent, the words spoken outside the door were like a ray of sunshine that dispelled their gloomy expressions. The two exchanged a glance and then vanished from their spot in the next second.

At this moment, outside the gates of Haotian Fortress, Wang Dong'er looked at this familiar place, and the bad mood she had gotten from Shrek Academy finally improved a lot.

"Big Father, Second Father, I'm back!" Wang Dong'er didn't go in immediately, but shouted outside Haotian Fort, because he knew that his two fathers would definitely hear him.

The moment Wang Dong'er shouted, two tall figures appeared in front of her. Niu Tian and Titan looked at the girl in front of them, their faces smiling, but a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.

Niu Tian didn't speak, but instead placed his hand on Wang Dong'er's left shoulder. Wang Dong'er didn't resist, letting a vast amount of soul power flow through her body.

A moment later, Niu Tian withdrew his hand and shook his head slightly at Titan. Seeing this, Titan's tension eased considerably, and he spoke first:

"Xiaodong, tell us about your experience at Shrek Academy."

"Are you planning to have Xiaodong stand here and tell you?" Niu Tian glanced at Titan and snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Titan immediately became displeased. "You just know how to find ways to insult me. That's not what I meant at all."

Watching the two bickering so familiarly, Wang Dong'er felt an instant sense of warmth and skillfully acted as a peacemaker, "Alright, alright, Uncle, Uncle, let's go inside first."

“Xiao Dong, the food is still being prepared. Tell us what has happened to you at Shrek Academy, especially the guy who made you take the Bloodthirsty Pill.”

Sitting on the stone chair, upon hearing Niu Tian's words, Wang Dong'er thought of Xuan Zi's ugly face again, and the smile on her face faded.

After organizing her thoughts, Wang Dong'er began to recount her experiences at Shrek Academy. Since she hadn't mentioned her experiences at Shrek Academy before, she started from her first year.

Wang Dong'er deliberately omitted some things, such as the fact that living in the same dormitory with other people would greatly displease Niu Tian and the other person.

As Wang Dong'er spoke, she couldn't help but let her emotions get involved, especially regarding those few things that she didn't understand.

From nearly losing his life to meeting Ma Xiaotao to Shrek Academy deliberately changing the team name when awarding them prizes during the freshman competition.

From Xuanzi's deliberate attempt to get them to join the Shrek Academy's oversight team to the massacre that occurred in the Mingdou Mountains.

Then comes the detailed account of their participation in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, starting with the behind-the-scenes manipulation and ending with Xuanzi's attempt to force them to consume the Bloodthirsty Pill, which ultimately came to nothing.

Wang Dong'er became increasingly angry as she spoke, and her speech lasted for a full hour. Even the food that had already been placed on the table remained untouched by the three of them.

Niu Tian and Titan's eyes grew colder and colder as Wang Dong'er spoke. If Wang Dong'er hadn't come back so easily, Titan would have already been ready to go to Shrek Academy with his knife to reason with them.

"That's about it." Wang Dong'er picked up her water glass, took a sip to soothe her dry throat, and seeing that Niu Tian and Titan remained silent, she called out in confusion,
"Big Uncle, Second Uncle?"

Wang Dong'er's shout startled Niu Tian and Titan, who were pondering how to reason with Shrek Academy. Niu Tian quickly put on a gentle smile and echoed:
"Shrek Academy doesn't seem to be a good place. Anyway, it's good that we came back safely."

Titan chimed in, "That's right. I think Shrek Academy is all hype and no substance. It's better not to stay in that lousy place!"

Xiaodong, don't be sad. Since Shrek Academy wronged you, they have to pay the price!

"Forget it, it's all in the past. Shrek Academy has nothing to do with me anymore." Wang Dong'er didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them, and instead began to persuade Titan.

"Let's not talk about those unhappy things anymore. Come on, Xiaodong, let's eat." Niu Tian turned his head and glared at Titan, then said with a smile.

She hadn't felt anything while she was talking, but now that she had stopped, Wang Dong'er suddenly felt a surge of hunger in her stomach and immediately began to eat heartily.

Although Niu Tian and Titan were eating, their expressions were not very natural. It was obvious that their minds were not on eating. However, Wang Dong'er, who was engrossed in eating, did not notice their abnormality.

Seeing that Wang Dong'er had slowed down her eating, Niu Tian casually asked, "Xiao Dong, what are your plans for the future? Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Big Father, I've only just returned and you already want to send me away? A year ago you were against me going to Shrek Academy, saying I should stay in Haotian Fortress." Wang Dong'er was taken aback and said with a strange look in her eyes.

"What are you talking about? How could your great-uncle kick you out? I remember you saying that our Haotian Fort is too poor and not luxurious enough, and you kept saying you wanted to go outside and see the world."

Niu Tian's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a solution. Wang Dong'er didn't suspect anything after hearing it, since she had indeed said those words.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Dong'er shook her head. "I don't know either. I haven't decided yet. I'll stay in Haotian Fort for a while."

Wang Dong'er paused for a moment as she spoke, "There's nothing about Douluo Continent that attracts me, so I might go to the Sun Moon Empire for a visit."

Wang Dong'er thought that her decision to go to the Sun Moon Empire would definitely be met with strong opposition from her eldest and second fathers.

After all, she knew that the two of them had always hated soul tools, and by extension, they also harbored ill will towards the Sun Moon Empire, which strongly promoted soul tools.

However, to Wang Dong'er's surprise, after she said these words, Niu Tian not only did not object, but also nodded in agreement, saying, "The Sun and Moon Empire is good, it's a nice place."

Niu Tian was just wondering how to bring up the trip to the Sun Moon Empire when Wang Dong'er took the initiative to say she wanted to go. He didn't even have to think of an excuse, for fear that Wang Dong'er would change her mind.

Niu Tian's reaction puzzled Wang Dong'er, who couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, don't you usually hate the Sun Moon Empire? Why are you saying it's good now?"

"Look at what you're saying. You're unhappy when I object, and you're unhappy when I agree. Are you just trying to make fun of your father?" Niu Tian said deliberately with a stern face. "I'm just curious, Father, you can't hold it against me." Wang Dong'er looked at Niu Tian with a mischievous grin, her eyes full of cunning.

"Tell me quickly, Uncle, why have you suddenly changed your opinion on the Sun Moon Empire?"

Niu Tian's face stiffened upon hearing this, wondering what kind of reason would be reasonable. He hadn't really changed his opinion of the Sun Moon Empire; he still regarded the other party as a good-for-nothing clown.

The reason for saying this is all because of the mission given by Tang San. However, he has lived as a human for so long, and he was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast before.

With this series of enhancements, Niu Tian's thinking improved significantly, unlike Titan who was still just a reckless brute who only knew how to fight. Therefore, he quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.

"As the saying goes, every inch has its advantages and every foot has its disadvantages. Although soul tools are destined to have a limited upper limit, they can still achieve great things. Since the Sun Moon Empire is the center of soul tools, it wouldn't be a bad thing for you to go and take a look."

"So, Uncle, you're willing to use a soul tool now?" Wang Dong'er asked in surprise.

Niu Tian really wanted to answer no, but that would contradict what he had said earlier, so he could only force a smile and nod in response, "Of course."

"And what about you, Second Father? Do you think so too?"

Faced with Wang Dong'er's sudden question, Titan subconsciously wanted to give a negative answer, but when Niu Tian reminded him of Tang San's mission, he forcibly changed his words, "I agree with your father."

"It's wonderful that you think this way." Wang Dong'er's tone was full of surprise. After more than a year of experiencing things firsthand, she had developed her own views on soul tools.

Wang Dong'er genuinely believed that the soul tool was indeed a powerful and effective aid, capable of both offense and defense, and possessing practical functions that could have a decisive impact at crucial moments.

Especially after hearing Xiao Xiao's words on the eve of leaving Shrek Academy, she was greatly stimulated. To be honest, she also wanted to become a Soul Master.

but……

The thought of feeling dizzy, vomiting, and nauseous after touching the soul tool instantly wiped the smile off Wang Dong'er's face, replaced by a deep, unyielding sorrow.

Such obvious emotions naturally did not escape Niu Tian's notice. Seeing Wang Dong'er's dejected appearance, he immediately couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Dong, what's wrong?"

"Uncle, I don't know why, but I can't use the soul tool at all. It's like my body is allergic to the soul tool."

"As soon as I come into contact with a soul tool, my body reacts negatively, ranging from mild dizziness and nausea to severe palpitations, trembling, and persistent vomiting."

"Such a strange thing?" Titan stopped what he was doing and looked at Wang Dong'er with a look of astonishment.

Niu Tian frowned. After listening to Wang Dong'er's description, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

With his abilities and experience, he had seen this kind of rejection reaction before, but apart from medical reasons and special reasons, the ultimate cause was always the same: it was all psychological.

If physical discomfort occurs upon contact with something, aside from the first two reasons, it is invariably due to psychological resistance.

However, Wang Dong'er clearly does not belong to this category. She likes soul tools very much, but she strangely experienced this kind of physical discomfort caused by psychological resistance.

Niu Tian could only think of two reasons for this: illness or deliberate intent.

Wang Dong'er spent her childhood in the God Realm, under the protection of Tang San, the God King.

During his time living in Douluo Continent, Niu Tian believed he had taken great care of himself and that it was virtually impossible for him to develop any hidden illnesses.

Even if there were, Niu Tian didn't believe that something from the mere Douluo Continent could escape his detection. As long as no god descended, he would remain the number one person on the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, it can only be intentional. Many methods can achieve this, and in Niu Tian's view, it is very similar to a mental restriction.

By modifying cognition through mental power, a trigger for rejection, similar to physical discomfort, is established deep within the soul. This is the essential principle behind certain restrictions.

Similarly, Niu Tian was confident that during the years he had taken care of Wang Dong'er, it was absolutely impossible for Wang Dong'er to have been secretly placed under a restriction without his knowledge.

So, after eliminating all the impossible scenarios, what remains, however unbelievable, must be the truth.

Wang Dong'er may have a restriction or something similar on her body. Whatever it is, it must come from the divine realm, or it may be related to a certain deity.

Niu Tian was so confident because of his strength. In the Douluo Continent, it would take at least three Limit Douluos to defeat him.

Of course, this is based on the premise that he does not use divine power, but once he uses divine power, it means that he can no longer stay in Douluo Continent, which is no different from defeat.

Two answers were laid bare before them: one was the realm of gods, and the other was deities.

The former means that the restriction existed when Wang Dong'er was in the God Realm, and in the God Realm, there was no one who could place a restriction on Wang Dong'er under the very nose of Tang San, the God King.

To put it bluntly, this restriction was placed by Tang San, but Niu Tian obviously wouldn't think in that direction because he trusted Tang San's character.

The other party dotes on Xiaodong and wouldn't do such a thing. Even if they did, it would definitely be for Xiaodong's own good.

The latter means that the restriction placed on Wang Dong'er during her time in Douluo Continent was able to evade his detection, something only a god could do.

Although Niu Tian can use divine power, he does not have a divine position. To put it bluntly, he cannot even defeat a third-level god. Therefore, if a god in Douluo Continent were to attack Wang Dong'er, he would be completely unaware.

So here's the question: would any deity really dare to place a restriction on Wang Dong'er?
As the first child born in the divine realm, Wang Dong'er was known to at least all the gods, if not everyone.

Even if you don't know her, it doesn't matter, Niu Tian knows that Wang Dong'er has Tang San's power inside her.

It's impossible for a deity to not be able to sense that Tang San was the master of the divine power within Wang Dong'er.

and so……
