Tang Wulin... Something Happened!

The Heaven Sea Alliance Tournament has been over for several months now.

As Shrek Academy officially announced that Huo Yuhao and others had joined the academy, the online public opinion indeed began to shift.

Those voices of condemnation, those doubts and ridicule, seemed to vanish overnight.

Class Zero of the Eastsea Academy really stole the show this time.

In no time, countless people were desperate to join Class Zero.

Some came through connections, some offered gifts, some used back channels, and some came directly to our door... all sorts of people, coming in an endless stream.

But in the end, Wu Changkong rejected them all.

Among those who were rejected, there were indeed quite a few talented children, but their intentions were not pure.

Wu Changkong had already decided that Class Zero would no longer recruit new students.

And so, as time went by, Class Zero gradually faded from everyone's sight.

But one name has always remained at the top of the Youth Genius Ranking, never wavering.

For months, the names on that list have changed again and again, one after another, but the top spot has always been firmly held by Huo Yuhao.

His title has finally been officially confirmed.

Moreover, it was personally decided by Qian Gu Dongfeng, the master of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

Chuanling!

These two words carry considerable weight.

Today, his name is prominently displayed on the Youth Genius Ranking as "Huo Yuhao, the Chuanling".

In most people's eyes, this is the Spirit Pagoda supporting him.

After all, it's no secret that Huo Yuhao comes from the Spirit Pagoda and is the Personal Disciple of the Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu.

The two characters "Chuanling" (chuán líng) naturally refer to the Chuanling by the Spirit Pagoda.

Many are speculating whether this is a signal to the outside world that Huo Yuhao is a candidate for the next head of the Spirit Pagoda.

For a time, opinions were divided and speculations abounded.

But some people who knew the inside story simply smiled and remained silent.

Those who truly understand the factional struggles within the Spirit Pagoda know perfectly well that this is simply impossible.

Although Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu is also a core figure in the Spirit Pagoda, she is not on the same side as Qiangu Dongfeng.

Huo Yuhao didn't care much about these things. He continued to cultivate and improve step by step, and could feel his strength increasing every day.

It's late at night.

Inside the library of the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda, the Soul Guidance Lamp illuminated every inch of the space as bright as day.

The vast library was empty except for Huo Yuhao.

He sat in the corner, a thick ancient book open in front of him.

The collection of books in the East Sea Library is still far inferior to that of Shrek City's headquarters.

Many rare, unique, and extinct books cannot be found here.

For example, the book "The Shrek Title Douluo Compendium" that is currently in front of him was specially transferred from headquarters.

Each of the Titled Douluo is qualified to leave their name in the history books.

The Titled Douluo who emerged from the Shrek Academy will be recorded in great detail.

This book contains the life stories of almost all the Titled Douluo since the founding of the Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao turned the pages of the book, his eyes scanning line by line, and finally... he found it.

"Ma Xiaotao, titled Evil Phoenix, Level 98 Super Douluo, Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department at the Shrek Academy..."

The record is short, only a few hundred words, but it summarizes her life.

But as Huo Yuhao watched, his brows gradually furrowed.

This account seems to have some issues.

His experiences and achievements in his youth, as well as his deeds after becoming Titled Douluo, are described quite clearly.

However, a period in the middle seemed to have been deliberately erased, leaving only a few ambiguous and vague words, unclear and ambiguous.

Huo Yuhao stared at the words, lost in thought.

However, one thing he was certain of was that Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire was indeed resolved in the end.

Because the records clearly state that after she became Titled Douluo, there was no further record of her losing control of her Evil Fire.

The book doesn't explain how the Evil Fire was resolved.

Another thing that can be confirmed is that this Ma Xiaotao is indeed the older sister he has recognized.

Because the record contains the sentence: "She became sworn siblings with Huo Yuhao, the Founder of the Spirit Pagoda, and they shared a deep bond."

Huo Yuhao closed the book and rubbed his temples.

He always felt that there was something strange about these historical records.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but there's just a vague sense of unease about it.

He then thought of his good friend Du Qingyuan.

His favorite thing to do was to curl up in a corner and read all sorts of strange and unusual novels.

So, that guy also has some knowledge of unofficial history.

Many unofficial histories are indeed quite "unofficial".

But sometimes, the truths that official history deliberately avoids, the facts that officials deliberately cover up, and the secrets that have been buried by time are precisely hidden in these "unofficial histories".

Perhaps... he should have a talk with Du Qingyuan.

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows into the classroom of Class Zero, bathing the desks and chairs in a soft golden glow.

A new day has begun.

As usual, Wu Changkong pushed open the door and entered on time.

But when his cold gaze swept across the classroom, his brows suddenly furrowed.

There are only five students in Class Zero, but now only four are sitting in the classroom.

Where is Tang Wulin?

Wu Changkong's voice was as cold as ever, but it carried a subtle hint of gravity that was more pronounced than usual.

The four of them exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.

Xie Xie scratched his head and spoke first, "Teacher, Wulin is always the first one here every day, but today... he wasn't here when we arrived."

He paused, a hint of worry in his voice. "I hope nothing bad has happened."

Wu Changkong was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out. "I'm going to check on the dormitory."

Xie Xie jumped up. "I'm going too!"

Wu Changkong did not refuse, nor did he stop.

Xie Xie quickly followed, and the other three exchanged glances, then got up and followed behind.

Ever since Class Zero defeated Shrek Academy in the Heaven Sea Alliance Tournament, Eastsea Academy has treated Class Zero like a precious gem.

From top to bottom, from the dean to the logistics staff, whatever the Class Zero asked for, they would always grant it.

Currently, all five students in Class Zero live in single dorm rooms.

The group walked through the teaching building, across the playground, and along the path lined with sycamore trees, until they arrived at the dormitory area.

Tang Wulin's dormitory was on the third floor of the innermost building. As soon as the group stepped onto the stairs, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped.

He did not activate his Spirit Detection within the dormitory area.

Even so, with his current Divine Power, his perception has far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Master, and even surpassed that of Wu Changkong.

His expression changed first.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Changkong noticed his unusual behavior and turned around to ask.

Huo Yuhao raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Wulin is in the dormitory."

He paused, then his voice became even more serious. "However, something's not right!"
