Chapter 75: Chapter 75
**Chapter 75**
After discovering this detail, the God of Destruction maintained a serious demeanor throughout the entire process, intently staring at the screen. He wanted to know when Tang San's divine thought would return and, more importantly, why it aimed to enter Huo Yuhao's body. So, he continued to watch closely.
On the other side, Tang San was also serious. However, his seriousness contrasted with that of the God of Destruction. While the latter pondered Tang San's motivations during the process, Tang San was preoccupied with the fear that the God of Destruction would uncover his true intentions.
He had engaged in many dubious activities in secret! Previously, Tang San had been able to conceal these actions because he had not reached the same plane level. Thus, the God of Destruction was unaware, and Tang San felt a sense of relief.
But this time, the presence of this damn screen had laid many things bare.
As a result, Tang San was frightened. He continuously worried that his actions would be exposed and the God of Destruction would catch him in the act. If that happened, it would spell disaster for him.
So, while Tang San appeared serious on the surface, he felt extremely flustered inside. Throughout the ordeal, he remained silent, quietly observing the God of Destruction with his divine thoughts.
At that moment, the God of Destruction could no longer contain his curiosity. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, he finally saw Tang San's divine consciousness exit Huo Yuhao's body on the screen. He couldn't help but confront Tang San, asking, "Sea God, if I didn't just misinterpret what I saw, your divine consciousness has been in Huo Yuhao's body for quite some time, correct? May I ask what you are doing?"
"I think you owe me a good explanation," the God of Destruction looked at Tang San seriously.
The other gods nearby also turned their gazes to Tang San. To be honest, this detail had not escaped many of their observations, but they hesitated to offend Tang San, so they chose to ignore it. However, that did not mean they were not curious.
Thus, after the God of Destruction pressed Tang San for answers, they all began to focus on him, eager to see what explanation he would provide.
"Is there anything to explain?" Tang San questioned after a moment of silence.
"He and my daughter have a martial soul fusion. As a father, I find this quite perplexing. Isn't it reasonable for me to investigate him thoroughly?"
"This is the duty of a father!" Tang San declared with feigned righteousness.
Upon hearing his words, the gods suddenly felt enlightened, considering his reasoning to be perfectly valid.
However, the God of Destruction couldn't help but frown. While he acknowledged the validity of Tang San's statement, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something felt amiss. It was as if everything concerning Tang San was intricately linked to Huo Yuhao.
Of course, this was merely a hunch from the God of Destruction. While he sensed something strange, he had no evidence to back it up. Thus, after some contemplation, he chose not to press further on the matter.
Tang San breathed a secret sigh of relief upon observing this. He felt fortunate for his cleverness in handling the situation.
Meanwhile, on the screen:
[At this moment, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had just woken up.]
[That's right, they woke up—not engaged in practice.]
[The first martial soul fusion had drained them of too much energy, causing Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to fall asleep while training the previous night.]
[Presently, as they woke from their slumber, they found themselves cuddling together.]
[Huo Yuhao felt nothing out of the ordinary; he accepted the situation without issue.]
[However, Wang Dong awoke to discover she was being hugged by Huo Yuhao. Panic surged in her heart, especially when she realized she was tightly clinging to him, and found his hand resting on her backside—Wang Dong couldn't help herself.]
[In a fit of reaction, she kicked Huo Yuhao off the bed.]
[Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "Ouch! What are you doing?!"]
[Wang Dong, flustered, quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! It was a subconscious reaction."]
[Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at her helplessly.]
[Afterward, the two got up, washed up, and hurried to the cafeteria for breakfast before quickly heading to the competition venue to report.]
[They soon located their final teammate, Xiao Xiao.]
[Now, Huo Yuhao and his two companions had reached the top four in this freshman competition!]
[They had already triumphed in several rounds and defeated many opponents.]
[Only two more victories stood between them and the freshman competition championship. If they succeeded, not only would the academy reward them handsomely, but they might also be selected as core disciples of the martial spirit department!]
[Excitement filled Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao as they made their way to the competition site.]
[Next, they would draw lots to determine their final opponent.]
[As Huo Yuhao scanned the area, he spotted a very familiar figure.]
["Freshman Class 5! Dai Huabin's team draws lots!"]
[A tall boy stepped up first.]
[He reached into the lottery bucket, drew a number, and stepped back.]
[In that moment, Huo Yuhao's face went pale.]
[For just an instant, seeing Dai Huabin and hearing someone shout his name sent a wave of recognition coursing through Huo Yuhao.]
[How could he not remember Dai Huabin? After all, this was Huo Yuhao from the original timeline, whose mother had been killed by Dai Huabin and the Duchess! Moreover, he had been bullied by them in the Duke's Mansion in the years that followed. Huo Yuhao could recognize them even if they were reduced to ashes.]
[Now that he saw Dai Huabin once again, all of Huo Yuhao's old grievances resurfaced.]
[Anger flared in his eyes, causing him to struggle to stay upright under the weight of his emotions.]
[Yet, he refrained from attacking; he could only suppress the murderous intent swirling within him.]
In the gap between the planes, in the chat room, everyone observed this scene.
Qian Renxue sighed, "Alas, this poor child—how pitiful!"
"The enemy stands right before him, yet he can't exact vengeance, not to mention he's not even capable of confronting him at this moment."
"It's truly miserable."
Bibi Dong replied, "There's nothing to be done; he simply isn't the opponent yet."
"But since things are unfolding this way here, it should be similar in the parallel world, right?"
"I'm becoming increasingly curious. What will happen when Huo Yuhao from the parallel world comes face to face with Dai Huabin in the competition?"
"He won't just kill that kid, will he?"
