Chapter 57 Is someone restricting Wang Dong? Tang San is panicking!
And at this moment.
Upon hearing Bai Zhouyi's gentle yet questioning inquiry from the sky, the soul masters of the underworld were immediately stunned.
"Slow progress?"
A Soul Master-level instructor scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
"How is this slow? Level 29! That's almost a Soul Master!"
"In any academy, this level would make someone an absolute core genius, a precious treasure that would be cherished and protected!"
"Besides, look at Bai Huoyuhao. He's been practicing like crazy for so long, and he's only level 25, four levels lower than Wang Dong! You call that slow?"
Many people nodded in agreement, thinking that Bai Zhouyi's demands were too high.
"No...that's not right."
Suddenly, a calm voice rang out from the crowd.
It was an old man who pushed up his glasses and analyzed with sharp eyes, "You can't just look at the current level, you have to look at the 'increment'."
"Increase?" Everyone was taken aback.
"That's right," the old man continued. "Think back carefully, what level was Bai Huoyuhao in when he first enrolled? He really was only in the teens!"
"But what about now? In just a few months, he's like a rocket, increasing his soul power by more than ten levels! This growth rate is terrifying!"
"But what about Wang Dong?"
The senior pointed his finger at the sky, "As a twin martial soul possessor, Wang Dong has innate full soul power. Her talent absolutely crushes Huo Yuhao by many times. When she first came, I remember she was already at level twenty-one or twenty-two, right?"
"Moreover, the cultivation environment in the White World is so good, the resources are so abundant, and it has both soul tools and top-tier cultivation techniques..."
"But how much has his soul power increased in the past few months? Not even ten levels."
"Having top-tier equipment and enjoying top-tier resources, yet his improvement speed was far surpassed by Huo Yuhao, who started from a very low level..."
Isn't that strange?
After hearing this analysis, the surrounding Soul Masters suddenly realized what was happening and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Holy crap, now that you mention it, it actually makes sense!"
"That's right! This is a classic real-life version of 'The Tortoise and the Hare'! But this 'hare' wasn't sleeping either, and it was running, so why couldn't it outrun the 'tortoise'?"
"This is a bit chilling... Could it be that Wang Dong is possessed by some evil spirit?"
"Or... is there something secretly hindering his growth?"
Countless speculations spread among the crowd. What had seemed like a normal phenomenon now became shrouded in mystery under Bai Zhouyi's guidance.
And in the square of Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, both from the underworld, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Huo Yuhao frowned and looked at his companion beside him: "Wang Dong, it seems that's really the case? Given the extremely superior conditions in Bai Shijie, your rate of improvement is indeed a bit unreasonable."
Wang Dong also looked completely bewildered.
"I don't know either. I've been working hard at my training. Although I might have been a little playful sometimes, I definitely haven't been lazy."
"But why is the version of me in the white world so 'mediocre' in terms of advancement?"
Wang Dong was completely baffled and could only shrug helplessly: "It seems we can only keep watching. Hopefully, Tianmu can reveal the secret to us."
...
Meanwhile, the Divine Realm Committee.
The atmosphere was somewhat eerie.
Xiao Wu nestled beside Tang San, gazing at the scene in the sky, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Third Brother, isn't this too strange?"
Xiao Wu pointed at Bai Wangdong, who looked completely bewildered, and asked in confusion.
"I know our daughter best; she's a little monster who perfectly inherited both of our talents!"
"And look at Shrek Academy in the White World, their conditions are so good! Bai Xuanzi not only gave them the top-level cultivation techniques, but also equipped each dormitory with such advanced soul tools."
"Plus, Bai Zhouyi is so gentle and responsible, and she also provides good food to nourish the body every day..."
"This environment is perfectly fine!"
"Logically speaking, even if Xiao Qi cultivated with her eyes closed, she should have broken through to the Soul Venerable level in the past few months. How could she still be stuck at level 29?"
"This isn't right, this is really wrong!"
Xiao Wu found the story increasingly strange and even began to worry that there might be some hidden danger in that white world.
"Could it be that someone is secretly plotting against Xiao Qi? Or is there something wrong with the thing Bai Xuanzi gave her?"
However.
Just as Xiao Wu was rambling on and on.
When Tang San heard the words "soul tool device," his heart skipped a beat, as if he had been stabbed hard by an invisible needle.
"Soul tool..."
Tang San's face instantly turned pale, and a hint of panic flashed in his originally wise eyes.
"broken!"
He exclaimed inwardly, "How could I have forgotten about that!"
He knew better than anyone what he had done to Wang Dong.
Driven by his hatred for soul tools, and even more so by certain unseen schemes...
He planted an extremely subtle divine restriction deep within his daughter's spiritual consciousness.
This restriction has many functions, but one of them is—
Whenever Wang Dong comes into contact with or uses a soul tool, she experiences an instinctive sense of resistance and disgust, which may even cause mental discomfort, thus making her give up using the soul tool!
"Could it be..."
A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Tang San's forehead, and the terrible guess in his mind became clearer and clearer.
"Could this be the culprit that caused Xiao Qi's cultivation speed in the White World to slow down?"
"The Shrek Academy in the White World places too much emphasis on using soul tools to assist in cultivation. Huo Yuhao achieved that terrifying speed of improvement by practicing day and night with various soul tools."
"But Xiao Qi... because of the restriction I have, she can't use those auxiliary devices as freely as Huo Yuhao!"
"Every time it was used, it was a form of mental torture for her, even a drain on her inner strength!"
"It's like everyone else is traveling by car, but she's forced to run on foot because of motion sickness, and has to stop every now and then to vomit..."
Thinking about this, Tang San felt terrible.
If that's really the reason...
Doesn't that mean that it was his "selfishness" and "desire for control" that personally stifled his daughter's growth during that golden age?!
Even more terrifying is...
Once this reason is discovered by the insightful Bai Zhouyi, or even the unfathomable Bai Xuanzi...
What will all the Soul Masters in the world think of him then?
What will the gods of the divine realm think of him?
"The mighty sea god, for the sake of so-called 'tradition' and to control his daughter, actually placed a restriction on her mind, not only ruining her future but also making her suffer in such a good environment..."
Once this is exposed, Tang San's carefully cultivated image of "pure and innocent" and "upright and righteous" will probably collapse overnight!
They might even be nailed to the pillar of historical shame, and be cursed by countless people as "control freaks" and "scheming old devils"!
"No...we absolutely cannot let this happen..."
Tang San gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, his heart filled with fear and anxiety.
"Third Brother?"
Xiao Wu keenly sensed the strangeness in her lover's body.
But she didn't know that Tang San said he wanted to.
Whether it's her beloved daughter or Tang San, they are the people she cares about most.
So at that moment, she turned her head and looked at Tang San's somewhat pale face, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so pale?"
