A Spy Infiltrating Shrek Academy?
Eastsea Academy, Class Zero.
While giving a lecture, Wu Changkong suddenly glanced at his phone. After pondering for a moment, he decided to play a moral propaganda video about the Spirit Pagoda.
"Watch the video for a bit first. There's a little emergency on my end. After the video finishes, you can leave get out of class on your own."
As Wu Changkong finished speaking, he hurriedly left. The others looked at each other, then their eyes flashed with curiosity as they watched the video playing on the computer above.
From Chen Jianshu's perspective, the computer screen turned green, followed by a powerful melody. A golden dragon appeared on the screen, which then transformed into a pixelated style.
His expression changed drastically. How damn familiar! He remembered seeing this thing all the time when he was a kid watching movies.
There was also something about 20th Century Forrest... and four red rectangles about zombies, which stirred up his memories, though he couldn't remember much of it.
The words "Golden Dragon Films" popped up in the barrier. Because the national treasure of the Douluo Continent is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the opening of the movie "Spirit Pagoda" will feature the image of a golden dragon.
However... it still feels so abstract... I almost thought I was home... Soon the video started playing, and the content was very simple, it was just moral propaganda.
The gist of it is that today's rule of law and peaceful society is hard-won. Ten thousand years ago, ordinary people were not even qualified to awaken their Martial Soul; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they had worthless lives.
Soul Masters, nobles, and Evil Soul Masters could kill civilians at will. Moreover, there was constant warfare at the time, and the people were suffering. In order to fight against the Sun Moon Empire, the major empires raised their tax rates higher and higher.
In order to obtain more wealth, those nobles continued to exploit the common people relentlessly.
That era was arguably the darkest time for ordinary people. They suffered greatly, war raged, and countless lives were lost. In the harsh border regions, people were so hungry that they had to eat tree bark and grass roots.
Even a small amount of coarse rice could spark a fight over it. In this chaotic world, one person rises to power, and the First Generation Spirit Transmission Douluo single-handedly suppresses an entire era.
He unified the Douluo Continent and the Sun and Sun Moon Continent, standardized the currency, the written language, and the measuring stick, and established the Spirit Pagoda with unparalleled strength.
Then came the reform and opening up, the elimination of the nobility, the eradication of Evil Soul Masters, giving commoners the opportunity to awaken their Martial Soul for free, and ensuring that everyone could have enough to eat.
They also encountered countless difficulties and dangers, including being besieged by the Dou Ling Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire Sun Moon Imperial Family, and being eyed covetously by the Holy Spirit Cult.
At that time Spirit Transferring Douluo was only sixteen years old and at the Soul Emperor level, yet he defeated Titled Douluo and even killed a Title Titled Douluo- level Evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult, breaking through to the Soul Saint.
Then came the Soul Douluo at seventeen, the Titled Douluo at eighteen, the Titled Douluo who slew a level 97 Super Douluo, and the various Super Douluos of the Holy Spirit Cult.
He broke through to Super Douluo at the age of nineteen, fighting against the Dragon Emperor Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Death God Douluo. At the age of twenty, he powerfully broke through to Limit Douluo, becoming an insurmountable gap for countless geniuses.
After suppressing the Heaven Soul Empire, Dou Ling Empire and the Sun and Sun Moon Imperial Family, they forcefully unified the continent, and the movie ends here.
After seeing all this, everyone felt that that era was truly terrible, with countless lives dying of starvation or from war and the chaos caused by Evil Soul Masters every year.
In contrast, rice and vegetables are cheap in this era. The hybridization project proposed by the Spirit Transferring Douluo is a huge milestone in reform, allowing everyone to have enough to eat.
There are even various famous quotes, such as:
The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen.
Be the first to worry about the world's troubles and the last to enjoy its pleasures.
The journey was indeed arduous. The Soul Emperor faced encirclement and attack from Titled Douluos, as well as suppression from the Dou Ling Empire, Heaven Soul Empire, Sun Moon, Holy Spirit Cult, and Shrek.
They couldn't believe it; the Spirit Transferring Douluo was only sixteen years old back then. At that age, they probably were only Soul Kings Soul Ancestor.
However, the opponent actually succeeded, especially considering that he was hunted down for two whole years. He fought against a titled Soul Emperor, then broke through to a titled Soul Emperor, fought against a Super Douluo Super Douluo, fought against Limit Douluo, and finally fought against Deity as Limit Douluo.
"Wulin, what are your thoughts?"
Xie Xie nudged Tang Wulin with his elbow, asking him what he thought. The latter pondered for a moment before replying:
"The First Generation Spirit Transmission Douluo was truly great. Without him, I probably would have starved to death and wouldn't even have been able to awaken my Martial Soul. Back then, a loaf of bread cost five thousand Gold Soul Coins! Converted to Federation Coins, that's five hundred thousand Federation Coins!"
Tang Wulin genuinely felt that this Spirit Transferring Douluo was great, having dedicated his life to changing a chaotic era.
Although the Spirit Transferring Douluo died young, his will burned like an ever-burning flame.
If one Spirit Transferring Douluo falls, countless more will rise. One Spirit Transferring Douluo dies, ten thousand spirits are born!
"Yes, I heard that back then, Evil Soul Masters ravaged the entire Douluo Continent, causing the deaths of countless lives. Now look at the news, you only occasionally see a news item about an Evil Soul Master being captured."
Xie Xie took out his phone and scrolled through it, but found no trace of Evil Soul Masters. There were many other news items on it, such as who died in a car accident, or which company went bankrupt.
Tang Wulin's admiration for the Spirit Transferring Douluo reached its peak, after all, as an ordinary person, he was naturally close to the Spirit Pagoda.
Look at Tang San, who became a god 20,000 years ago. After his ascension, the continent became even more chaotic. Shrek just lay on the three great empires, sucking their blood, and couldn't care less about the life or death of ordinary people like you.
Even the Sea God Tang San severed the Spirit Transferring Douluo's path to godhood. In short, he's a useless Sea God who does nothing and yet expects us to worship him? And he even killed our idol!
Tang Wulin, who came from a commoner background, naturally admired Spirit Transferring Douluo the most. At the end of the video, a figure with white hair, wearing a robe with long sleeves and white trousers appeared.
The man was handsome and elegant, with a face like that of an immortal, but he seemed a little reserved when facing the crowd and the camera.
"Has recording already started?"
The man in the video looked at the camera and asked a question, at which point a deep, authoritative male voice came from the video.
"Here we go."
The voice startled Chen Jianshu, Gu Yue, and Na'er. Wasn't that Di Tian's voice? So it was Di Tian who recorded the video.
"Yes, my descendants, I am the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Transferring Douluo. Peace is hard-won, the Future belongs to you. You are all like the fiery sunrise, carrying the undying flame of passion."
"I do not ask for Future where everyone can live in peace and prosperity, but only that everyone can have enough to eat. I hope you can carry out my will to the end, and I also hope for Future peace, free from war, famine, and evil."
The crowd watched silently as the white-haired, red-eyed man in the video spoke in very official language. However, it should be noted that this was during a time of war and chaos ten thousand years ago.
Moreover, these words came from the mouth of the Spirit Transferring Douluo, and he truly did it, ensuring that everyone could live in peace and prosperity and have enough to eat. Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and others all looked at him with respect, which was a sign of respect for a great man.
Aolai City
A figure clad in a black robe stood atop a three-story villa. The man was tall and imposing, his entire body shrouded in black robes, with only a pair of golden pupils shining brightly from within.
He quickly raised his head slightly and saw several powerful figures in black robes passing by below, heading towards the residence of an ordinary family.
"Found it..."
His deliberately lowered voice echoed around him, then Frost enveloped him, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Meanwhile, another figure clad in a black robe was lurking nearby, his gaze fixed on an ordinary household.
On the other side, complaints suddenly arose from the group of five people in black robes.
"Boss, why did Lord Dark Blood Demon send us to capture two ordinary people?"
A man in black robes standing in the middle asked a question with a puzzled look, while the man in black robes at the front retorted.
"Shut up, why ask so many questions? If we handle this well, we might catch the eye of Lord Dark Blood Demon."
The leader looked smug. The strongest person in Aolai City was only a Soul Douluo, and that was far away at the top of the Spirit Pagoda. With their cultivation levels, capturing two ordinary people would be a piece of cake.
Soon, a group of five knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman opened the door, and her pupils contracted sharply when she saw the five men in black robes opposite her.
"You are..."
The middle-aged woman subconsciously took a few steps back, and then saw a man in black robes say impatiently:
"Who cares what she's doing? Just arrest her. This area is still under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Pagoda."
Just as the man in black robes was about to make a move, the middle-aged woman tried to resist, but she was completely powerless to do so, and immediately cried out.
"Run, Cumin!"
"None of you can escape!"
Another man in black robes immediately rushed towards Tang Ziran, who had just come out of the room, before she could react.
But the next second... thud!
A dull Speaker, and the black-robed man who had grabbed Lang Yue's wrist immediately went blank and fainted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black-robed man holding an ordinary Iron Sword appear. Everyone was immediately stunned.
"What gang are you involved with?"
The leader of the black-robed men frowned and pressed for an answer. The sword-wielding man remained silent and attacked in an instant. Upon seeing that the leader was Soul Master, he immediately activated his Martial Soul: two yellow, two purple, and three black Soul Saints.
He was about to resist when the sword-wielding man in black robes knocked him unconscious with a single blow, and the other three men in black robes were also knocked unconscious.
Lang Yue and Tang Ziran shaken, huddled in a corner, watching the black-robed man wielding a sword tremble uncontrollably. Hadn't their experiment failed back then? Was it really necessary to send so many people to kill them?
The black-robed man with the sword stood still, seemingly sensing something was wrong. The next second, another black-robed man, wielding a black Iron Sword, charged at them.
Ping!
The two swords clashed, producing a crisp sound. The black-robed man holding the sword looked closely and saw that the other person seemed to be rather short, like a woman, and was also shrouded in a black robe like himself.
The two exchanged a glance. The woman in black robes forced the other man back, then reached out to grab Tang Ziran and his wife, but the man in black robes unleashed a sword strike to stop her.
Bang!
The sword energy was shattered by the woman in black robes, and the man in black robes attacked again, seemingly trying to stop the other from harming the couple.
The two sides continued to fight, tacitly refraining from using their Soul Power to avoid harming the mortal couple.
After exchanging more than ten blows, the woman in black robes finally used a binding Soul Tool to trap the man in black robes, and then grabbed Tang Ziran and his wife.
The man in black robes was surrounded by nine Soul Rings —four black and five red—and his Soul Power surged. He tried to shatter the Soul Tool with frost in pursuit, but the opponent escaped.
"Soul Tool for spatial transfer? That's troublesome..."
The sword-wielding man in black robes failed in his pursuit and had no choice but to give up. He then lifted the hood of his black robe, revealing long blue hair. This man was none other than Wu Changkong.
Not long ago, while he was giving a lecture, he suddenly received a message from higher-ups that the Holy Spirit Cult had been active in Eastsea City recently and seemed to have gone to the neighboring small town, which is why he came over.
His target was those five Evil Soul Masters, but he didn't expect that another expert would suddenly appear. The opponent's swordsmanship was on par with his own, and he was at least a powerful Titled Douluo.
Wu Changkong took out his phone and dialed a number; the call was quickly answered.
"Handsome young man, that's rare, you actually called me."
A playful female voice came from the other end of the phone. Wu Changkong remained calm and recounted the situation without changing his expression.
"The target has been captured, but I encountered someone who kidnapped two innocent civilians along the way. Help me investigate."
"Okay, I got it. Just wait."
The phone call ended, and Wu Changkong disappeared with five men in black robes.
"My name is Wu Changkong. I am a disciple of the Skywater City Sword Dao Family. Innate Full Soul Power and was selected and nurtured by the Spirit Pagoda. I have also received guidance from the Snow Empress Tower Master."
"Until I was twelve years old, Spirit Pagoda to infiltrate Shrek. In the first three years, I distinguished myself and became a key trainee at Shrek."
"During my middle school years, I was noticed by the elders of Shrek Academy and taken in as their disciple. In the following three years, I was designated as the next successor of the Sea God Pavilion."
"Three years later, then another three years, and I'm practically the boss of Shrek! The world only knows about the Heavenly Ice Male Sword, but not the Heavenly Frost Changkong."
"Afterwards, in order to avoid being infected by the Love Gu from Shrek Academy's matchmaking event, I chose to fall in love with and marry an ordinary woman. My wife's name is Long Bing. She loves me very much, and we also have a daughter with exceptional talent."
"Now, under the guise of traveling and gaining experience, I re-established contact with the Spirit Pagoda. Ultimately, the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda unanimously chose me to become the Sea God Pavilion Master and take control of Shrek."
On the other side
The woman in the black robe knocked Tang Ziran and his wife unconscious and dragged them back to the Spirit Pagoda. She lifted her hood and took off...
"Mission complete."
The woman gently put the two down, then looked across at them, indicating that she had completed her task.
The chair opposite her, which had its back to her, suddenly turned around, revealing a petite figure with long golden hair tied in pigtails and many Little Bells hanging from her body.
"Great job! You finished the task so quickly. You deserve a reward! How about we go get our hair dyed together tomorrow? It's on me. Do you think my blonde hair looks good?"
The little girl sitting in the chair smiled with relief upon seeing that the task was completed. She thought to herself, "It's really great to have my subordinates do things for me and get a commission in return."
"No need. The Spirit Pagoda nurtured me, so it's only right that I serve the Spirit Pagoda. This is the duty of every disciple of the Spirit Pagoda. Farewell."
The woman Bingbing bid farewell, then changed out of her black robe into gray casual clothes. Her child was waiting for her at home. The blonde little girl opposite her wasn't annoyed, and waved with a smile:
"Let's go, let's go, I won't take your commission."
