Life in Class Zero made Tang Wulin feel very grounded.
Attending classes, training, and improving together with his partners every day made him, whose parents had left, feel the warmth of home.
Although his strength wasn't weak in class thanks to the Golden Dragon Claw, his Spirit Power had always been the lowest.
On the surface, Tang Wulin never showed anything.
He still laughed, still played around, and still shot back a few words when Xie Xie was being talkative.
But how could he not care?
So he had been working hard to cultivation.
Harder, more diligent, and more desperate than anyone else.
Last night, after Tang Wulin returned to the dormitory, he sat cross-legged on the bed as usual and began to cultivation.
Spirit Power slowly circulated in his body, accumulating bit by bit and growing little by little.
This was a mandatory daily lesson, an unbreakable habit.
He closed his eyes, his mind immersed in Cultivation, everything as usual.
But before long, he noticed an anomaly.
The blood Qi in his body suddenly began to boil uncontrollably.
It was as if something was burning in his blood, and then, his body temperature began to rise uncontrollably.
Hot.
Getting hotter and hotter.
That heat surged from his Dantian and instantly spread to his four limbs and hundred bones. Tang Wulin wanted to suppress it, wanted to control it, wanted to figure out what was happening... but it was too late.
The process came too fast, so fast that he didn't have time to react at all.
His consciousness began to blur.
"Thud..."
Tang Wulin's body fell straight onto the bed, completely losing consciousness.
At the same time... deep within Tang Wulin's Spiritual Sea, that long-dormant figure suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's going on?"
Tang San frowned deeply.
According to his calculations, he shouldn't have awakened at this time.
He immediately began to check Tang Wulin's condition, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"How could this be?!"
Tang San gritted his teeth, squeezing these words out from between them.
His brow was tightly furrowed; he had clearly arranged everything.
Back then, he had personally placed eighteen seals on his son, Tang Wulin.
According to his plan, as Tang Wulin's strength gradually increased, these Seals could be gradually uncovered.
This way, not only could the danger brought by the Golden Dragon King Bloodline be perfectly resolved, but it would also allow Tang Wulin to gradually absorb the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline Power during his growth, eventually obtaining God King-level strength.
This was the path he had paved for his son, and the best gift he could leave for him.
But he didn't expect that after only one Seal had been broken, a problem would arise now.
After a deeper investigation, Tang San's expression became even uglier.
"Dammit!"
"It must be that person from last time who acted, triggering the energy in the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core, which caused the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline to erupt prematurely."
While investigating, he began to suppress that rampaging Golden Dragon King power.
His main body had left with the God Realm and had long been unable to contact the Douluo Continent.
What remained here was merely a Avatar with limited energy.
The last time he acted, it had directly consumed nearly one-third of his power.
But now, he couldn't care about that much.
Tang Wulin's situation was critical; that Golden Dragon King power was rampaging wildly and could break through the remaining seals at any time, tearing this young body to pieces.
He had to act to reinforce those crumbling Seals, even if it meant exhausting all the power of this avatar.
...
Outside the dormitory, Huo Yuhao's words caused everyone's expressions to change simultaneously.
Wu Changkong didn't hesitate at all; his pace suddenly quickened, and in a few steps, he reached the door of Tang Wulin's dormitory.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open by him, the door panel slamming hard against the wall with a loud crash.
Everyone filed in.
Everything in the dormitory was as usual, and Tang Wulin was currently lying on the bed on his side.
His body was curled up, with half a foot still dangling off the edge of the bed; this posture didn't look like normal sleep no matter how one saw it.
"Wulin!"
Xie Xie shouted and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Wu Changkong's raised hand.
Wu Changkong walked to the bedside in a few steps and knelt down. He pressed one hand on Tang Wulin's wrist, and his Spirit Power slowly probed in, checking his physical condition.
The others gathered around, anxious expressions appearing on their faces.
A moment later, Wu Changkong stood up, his brow tightly furrowed.
"He seems to be fine; his physical condition is completely normal, but for some reason, he just won't wake up."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
If even Wu Changkong didn't know what was going on, then the others would be even more helpless.
A voice suddenly rang in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"Yuhao."
"His situation is a bit special. The problem is not just with his Soul, but also his Physical Body."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's mind immediately immersed into the Spiritual Sea.
Deep within the Spiritual Sea, Electrolux's figure floated quietly, a thoughtful expression on his aged face.
"Teacher," Huo Yuhao asked, "do you know what's going on with him?"
Electrolux shook his head. "I can't say for sure without a detailed investigation, but..."
He paused and said slowly, "There is a clear gap between his current Physical Body and Soul, which is why he can't wake up."
Huo Yuhao asked again, "Then do you have a way to make him wake up?"
As classmates in Class Zero, they got along very well daily, and he felt that Tang Wulin was a friend worth making.
Now that his friend had a problem, if he could help, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't stand by and watch.
"There should be no problem."
Hearing such a reply from Electrolux, Huo Yuhao's heart relaxed slightly.
Since the teacher said it was possible, it must be possible.
Then Electrolux's voice rang out again: "However, this will only make him wake up this once. I'm afraid this situation will happen again in the future."
In other words, the problem with Tang Wulin had not been truly solved, and Tang Wulin could fall into such a coma again at any time.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly: "Let's wake him up first. As for what happens later... we'll talk about that later."
In the dormitory, everyone was gathered around the bed, at a loss.
Just then, Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly rang out: "I have a way to make him wake up."
Everyone instantly looked at him in unison.
There was surprise and bewilderment in those gazes, but not a hint of doubt.
After experiencing so many things, they already understood that Huo Yuhao never said anything he wasn't sure of.
Xie Xie hurriedly said, "Then hurry up and do it!"
Huo Yuhao only nodded but didn't act immediately.
Wu Changkong glanced at him and seemed to understand something.
He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the others, and spoke coldly:
"Everyone else, come out with me."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked out the door, with Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan following closely behind.
Xie Xie was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused, but he also followed.
In the dormitory, only Tang Wulin, who was lying on the bed unconscious, and Huo Yuhao, who was standing by the bed, remained.
The next moment, an illusory figure slowly floated out from between his brows and hovered beside him.
Electrolux's deep eyes fell on Tang Wulin, and he said, "This kid's current state is that the compatibility between his Soul and Physical Body is too low, and the two cannot undergo Fusion, which is why he is unconscious."
"As long as a mental-type magic is performed, it can promote the Fusion of the two and make him wake up."
After Electrolux finished speaking, he began to chant, each syllable seemingly containing some mysterious power.
As the chanting proceeded, magic runes began to emerge from Electrolux's body.
Those runes circled and danced in the air, finally landing gently on Tang Wulin like falling snowflakes.
