After organizing the information they'd gathered along the way,
the two sat at a herbal tea stall, secretly observing their surroundings for quite a while before finally picking out a target: a young man.
Then they followed the young man into an alley!
When he saw the masked Ozka suddenly appear in front of him, the young man panicked and hurriedly fell to his knees. "Lord Soul Master, I don't have any money! Please let me go!"
Ozka: "..."
"Ahem, ahem~~"
Feng Xiaodi came up behind the young man, cleared his throat twice, and said, "I ask, you answer. If you dare deceive us... we'll kill you!"
"Lord Soul Master, ask away! Ask away!"
"I'm asking you, have you heard of Shrek Academy?"
"I have, I have! Shrek Academy used to be called Blue Tyrant Academy. Later, it changed its name to Shrek Academy!"
Blue Tyrant Academy?
Another academy whose name they'd never heard before. Ozka and Feng Xiaodi exchanged glances, their faces full of confusion.
Then Ozka asked, "Tell me, what powerful people does Shrek Academy have?"
"There are lots of powerful people, Lord Soul Master. Which one do you want to ask about?"
Lots of powerful people!
At those words, Ozka and Feng Xiaodi's hearts sank!
"Tell me about all of them. Start from when Blue Tyrant Academy was founded and work your way forward."
"Lord Soul Master, Blue Tyrant Academy was founded eighteen years ago. Its dean is an incredibly powerful Soul Master! I heard she has a bit of a short temper, though. Then, just a month ago, Blue Tyrant Academy suddenly changed its name to Shrek Academy! They say that before the name change, a lot of incredibly powerful Soul Masters joined Blue Tyrant Academy!"
"Who are these powerful people?"
The young man opened his mouth, then awkwardly said, "I don't know about that! They say there are several Soul Saint lords!"
"Wait! S-Soul Saints?"
Ozka wondered if he'd heard wrong. His mouth fell wide open, and he forgot to close it.
Beside him, Feng Xiaodi's eyes were wide too, his face blank with bewilderment. He asked doubtfully, "Then how many Titled Douluo does Shrek have?"
"Titled Douluo?" The young man scratched his itchy head and said softly, "There shouldn't be any, right? I'm not sure."
"N-None?"
Feng Xiaodi opened his mouth and exchanged a look with Ozka, who was just as dumbfounded. The same absurd feeling rose in both their hearts.
Could Shrek Academy, which had gathered the five talented doppelgangers from Immortal Court, really have no Titled Douluo overseeing it?
How was that possible?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
The two had even wondered whether the title "Soul Saint" in this world meant the same thing as "Titled Douluo" in their world.
In a world where Soul Power was over thirty percent denser than in theirs, how could Soul Saints be called powerful?
The two fell silent for a very, very long time!
Ozka asked again, "I heard Shrek Academy has lots of geniuses, like Oscar and Ma Hongjun. Why don't they go to Xianting University?"
"Xianting University? What kind of place is that?"
This time, it was the young man's turn to look confused.
Feng Xiaodi and Ozka exchanged another glance. Feng Xiaodi asked, "You've never heard of Xianting University?"
"N-No, I haven't! Lord Soul Master, do you mean Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"
"The Tiandou Empire?"
Feng Xiaodi was even more confused!
Hadn't Emperor Qingtian united the Tiandou Empire, according to the history books?
Ozka asked, "Little brother, do you mean... the Tiandou Empire hasn't submitted to Immortal Court?"
"Immortal Court? What's Immortal Court?"
Seeing that the young man's bewildered expression didn't seem fake, the absurd feeling in Feng Xiaodi and Ozka's hearts grew even stronger!
"No, wait! You've never heard of Immortal Court?"
The young man scratched his head and stammered, "I... I haven't! Never heard of it."
Ozka scratched his head in the same way, then pulled Feng Xiaodi aside and said in a low voice, "Feng Xiaodi, why do you think he's never heard of Immortal Court? He doesn't look like he's lying!"
Feng Xiaodi pondered for a while, then said, "Before we came here, Emperor Qingtian specifically told our advance teams that anything could happen in another world! So my guess is that this world's Emperor Qingtian hasn't united the continent yet! Right, in our world, before Emperor Qingtian united the continent, he was the pope of Spirit Hall! Let's ask about Spirit Hall. Since Emperor Qingtian hasn't united the continent yet, Spirit Hall should still exist! It should be much the same as the history books describe!"
"You're right! The history books say that before Emperor Qingtian united the continent, Spirit Hall, the Tiandou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire jointly ruled Douluo Continent! The Tiandou Empire hasn't submitted, so Spirit Hall should still exist!"
After the two finished discussing,
Ozka asked, "Little brother, tell us about Spirit Hall."
At the mention of Spirit Hall, the young man's eyes lit up!
"Spirit Hall is the sacred ground in every Soul Master's heart! My grandaunt's second son's brother-in-law is a great Soul Grandmaster! He can collect ten Gold Soul Coins from Spirit Hall every month!"
Ozka: "..."
Feng Xiaodi: "..."
What the heck was a Soul Grandmaster? And he could collect Gold Soul Coins from Spirit Hall? The history books never mentioned that! Could it be they hadn't included it? Or... had they slept through that lesson?
The young man continued, "Under the pope's leadership, Spirit Hall has grown stronger and stronger!"
Mm, that part checks out!
Feng Xiaodi and Ozka nodded at the same time. They exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Feng Xiaodi asked, "What level of cultivation has the pope reached? Has he not become a god yet?"
"Huh? Become a god? I... I don't know! Anyway, the pope is really powerful!"
"Alright." Feng Xiaodi nodded, thinking, It's normal for an ordinary person who's never cultivated to not know Emperor Qingtian's cultivation level!
Ozka asked, "I've noticed that a lot of people in Heaven Dou City haven't cultivated. Hasn't the pope of Spirit Hall given you cultivation techniques?"
"Cultivation techniques?"
The young man scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Can people like us, who don't have Innate Soul Power, cultivate too? I thought... I thought you could only cultivate if you had Innate Soul Power when your Martial Soul awakened?"
Ozka's eyes widened again. Then he nodded as if it were only natural, thinking, It seems the timeline is different! Emperor Qingtian hasn't developed a Martial Path cultivation technique suitable for ordinary people yet!
At that moment, Feng Xiaodi had thought of it too. He knew that Emperor Qingtian hadn't united the continent or developed a Martial Path cultivation technique suitable for ordinary people! He hadn't developed self-condensed Soul Rings either!
After pondering for quite a while, Feng Xiaodi spoke up. "Do you know much about Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? Tell us about its talented students!"
"There are tons of geniuses at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
By now, the young man's tense heart had relaxed. He could tell the two men in front of him meant no harm!
It was just that... they lacked common sense!
So the young man took them for country bumpkins visiting Heaven Dou City for the first time!
