Truth Comes Out

Seeing Tang Wulin fall into silence, Tang San spoke with his spiritual consciousness: "I know you can't accept this news yet. You're still young and have more time to think. I believe you'll figure it out in the future."

Just as Tang San's spiritual consciousness said, Tang Wulin couldn't accept his identity right away. After all, anyone who suddenly learned that his parents weren't his biological parents would be shocked.

After a while, Tang Wulin said, "As you said, I can't accept this result yet. But no matter what, they're still my biological parents, and I'll work hard to find a way to find my place in the God Realm."

Tang San said with consciousness, "I'm very pleased that you think so, but you have to remember that it's better that you keep this to yourself. For your own safety, it's best not to reveal your identity to anyone else until you truly grow up."

Putting aside his extra thoughts for the time being, Tang Wulin said, "Can you tell me about the Golden Dragon Spear? Is the previous one real?"

After all, the information he found showed that the real Golden Dragon Spear was a divine weapon. If the previous spear was really the legendary Golden Dragon Spear, it meant that a divine weapon had vanished from his hands.

Tang San said with consciousness, "Although I also find it hard to believe, the spear destroyed by your two classmates was indeed the Golden Dragon Spear. The fact that they were able to do that might have something to do with the will of the Plane."

"No matter what the results are after you report to the academy, you'd better not make enemies of them before you grow up, and don't act out of emotion."

When talking about it later, Tang San's tone became very solemn. Although the Golden Dragon Spear was indeed the most suitable weapon for Tang Wulin, it might involve the will of the plane, and he didn't want his son to take risks because of a divine weapon.

Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Wulin felt heartbroken. A divine weapon had disappeared from his sight. At the same time, his hatred for Anping and Gu Yuena grew stronger.

But he understood that Old Tang wouldn't harm him, and he said solemnly, "Okay, I'll be careful."

"Well, it's good that you know. That's all I can say. I'm going to sleep to recover my energy first, and you have to take care of yourself in the future." After saying this, Tang San's consciousness fell into a deep sleep. At the same time, Tang Wulin's mind also became silent.

Although his mind was silent, Tang Wulin couldn't calm down. The information he learned today had such a huge impact on him that he felt numb.

Seeing that Tang Wulin remained silent and his eyes were dull, Xie Xie asked in a low voice, "Wulin, what are you thinking about? Have you discovered anything?"

After being awakened by Xie Xie, Tang Wulin looked at Wu Zhangkong and said, "Teacher Wu, I remembered something that might be related to this mission. Could you please use your soul power to temporarily block it?"

"Okay." Wu Zhangkong used his soul power to build a barrier to isolate them from the outside world. "You can tell me what you have discovered."

Tang Wulin glanced at his curious classmates and said solemnly, "I suspect that this area has something to do with Anping."

"I hope you're not saying this because of personal grudges. Do you have any evidence?" Wu Zhangkong asked.

Tang Wulin nodded and said, "Teacher Wu, Atlas Douluo issued a mission to find the bell tower. I've seen the picture of the bell tower."

Xie Xie asked doubtfully, "Huh? When did you see it? Didn't you say you were in a deep meditation state when the phantom of the EastSea City Bell Tower appeared?"

They wouldn't forget that mission. It was the first one they took after school started, and it was related to this one.

Tang Wulin had clearly said that he was in a deep meditation state when the bell tower phantom appeared. Why was he saying now that he had seen it?

Tang Wulin shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not talking about the time it appeared in Eastsea City. I saw it before when I fought him at Sun Moon Academy. It was on the cover of his martial spirit."

He paused and continued, "And when the bell tower phantom appeared in Eastsea City, Anping was there with us. The second time it appeared here was right after Anping and Gu Yuena left Mingdu."

"And I've met Anping in Skysea City before, so I have reason to suspect that he's involved in this." Tang Wulin concluded.

Wu Zhangkong said seriously, "Are you sure that the pattern you saw on his martial spirit is the same as the one Atlas Douluo gave us? If that's the case, we can go back and report."

He knew that Tang Wulin had a bad relationship with Anping and Gu Yuena, but he trusted that Tang Wulin wouldn't lie about this.

"I'm sure!" Tang Wulin nodded firmly. He believed in Tang San's judgment.

Wu Siduo said, "We can check the previous game videos. Maybe it was recorded since you saw it."

"Yes, there are game videos." Xie Xie took out his phone and started searching. He asked Tang Wulin, "Wulin, when did you see it?"

"He used his martial spirit to resist the spear." Tang Wulin didn't mention the Golden Dragon Spear, just the spear.

Xie Xie dragged the progress bar to the time point Tang Wulin mentioned. They were looking for evidence, so they didn't pay much attention to anything else and stared at their phones.

When the scene reached the point where Tang Wulin pointed the Golden Dragon Spear at the sky of truth, Xie Xie quickly paused and zoomed in on the screen.

As the image enlarged, they all saw the bell tower pattern on the cover of the Sky of truth. It was exactly the same as the one Yun Ming had provided when he assigned the mission.

"It seems that this matter really has something to do with him," Wu Siduo murmured. She looked at Wu Zhangkong and asked, "Teacher Wu, do we still need to continue exploring? Or should we go to Skysea City to find Anping?"

She thought that they had already found the key to the mystery, and there was no point in staying here any longer. But the decision was up to Wu Zhangkong.

Wu Zhangkong shook his head slightly. "I'll report this to the academy and wait for their instructions. As for this news, keep it to yourselves. Don't let anyone else know."

"I understand." The others nodded in agreement.

Wu Zhangkong removed the soul barrier and told the students to resume their exploration. He summoned his battle armor and flew off the deck, acting as if he was scouting the area.

He believed that this matter had to be reported to the academy as soon as possible. How the academy would deal with Anping was not his concern.
