Heaven Supporting Douluo was the number one man on the continent—our Spirit Pagoda said so!

Today, Luo Yanglu was teaching history.

The academy did have history classes, after all. One of the purposes behind the academy's establishment was to supply the nation with talent, and history class existed to cultivate the students' sense of identification with the Federation.

It was just that the content was dry, so very few students could keep listening.

But where did Luo Yanglu come from?

The Spirit Pagoda, a force that had been passed down for ten thousand years to this day. Among them were also long-lived existences like Soul Beasts and spirits. Forget history— even the interesting stories that happened within history would be recorded in the Spirit Pagoda's miscellaneous books for people to read when they were bored.

Luo Yanglu used two or three interesting historical stories to pique everyone's interest, then took the opportunity to begin talking about the history from ten thousand years ago. "Ten thousand years ago, the empire..."

Huo Yuhao sat in the back row by the window. Hearing some events he had personally witnessed, the corner of his eye twitched. He silently used Simulation, took out a carving knife and a piece of Sentient Metal, and began carving a Soul Guidance Array, slacking off in the middle of class.

Though he believed in reviewing the old to learn the new, when it came to the history of ten thousand years ago, especially the parts related to Tang Sect and Shrek, there probably wasn't any "person" in this era who knew it better than he did.

For example: why had Shrek been able to develop into such a flourishing state today?

First, one point had to be made clear: ten thousand years ago, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire—Mr. Xu Tianran—had lived longer than he had in the original timeline, and the unification of the nations had also happened earlier.

Then, let us invite Emperor Xu Tianran to speak:

I will never destroy Shrek. Although it has always been my enemy, in my heart, it has always been the supreme hall of Soul Masters, and I am also a Soul Master.

When we unify the continent, I will put on Shrek Academy's school uniform and listen to instruction in the academy's most sacred classroom, thereby fulfilling the greatest dream of my childhood.

I will also grant Shrek Academy the title of Sun Moon Royal Academy, making it an eternal part of my Sun Moon Empire, helping my Sun Moon Empire endure for thousands upon thousands of generations!

At this point, it was basically clear what had happened.

And everyone knew the result. The Sea God descended, Shrek's name failed to be changed, and instead the Sun Moon Empire's name was forced to change to the Heaven Dou Empire.

But whether Xu Tianran was paying the price for his dream or simply wanted to win over Shrek Academy, as emperor, after unification, he still put on the Shrek uniform and sat in Shrek Academy as a student.

That was no small matter. With even the emperor personally promoting it, it naturally drew a large wave of people to join Shrek... Mm, and they were Soul Engineers from the former Sun Moon Empire. What happened afterward was easy to imagine.

However, Huo Yuhao felt this was still acceptable. At least there had been an element of winning them over in it, though the cost and payoff currently seemed disproportionate. He had seen far more explosive examples!

"My grandfather was a member of Shrek. On his deathbed, he instructed my father: Shrek's glory will shine forever. No matter when, no matter what happens, the descendants of our family must never become enemies with Shrek!"

"Shrek has never made a mistake. They have never made a wrong choice, and more than once, they have turned the tide and saved the Federation. Without Shrek, our Federation would have ceased to exist long ago! When they stand on the opposite side, we should think: it is our Federation that is wrong!"

All of the above came from the remarks of a certain Federation military member ten thousand years later in Douluo 4. There was absolutely not the slightest bit of exaggeration.

Seeing this, what could Huo Yuhao say?

He could only say one thing—what "profound insight," Your Excellency!

At the same time, he secretly felt fortunate that the Spirit Pagoda had still made mistakes over the years. There had been Soul Masters who had nearly fallen and become Evil Spirit Masters, ambitious schemers who wanted to turn the Spirit Pagoda into the Spirit Hall, and they had even allowed a divine Dragon King to infiltrate them.

If the Spirit Pagoda was always right, even he, the First Generation Tower Master, would not dare to stay here...

On this side, Huo Yuhao did not want to listen to the history from ten thousand years ago, and Gu Yuena was likewise uninterested in this stretch of history.

She was more curious about what Huo God King was doing.

Using a book to cover her face, Gu Yuena looked toward Huo Yuhao on her right and blinked lightly.

She naturally sensed the mental fluctuations and spatial fluctuations over there. (The principle of Simulation is to distort space through mental fluctuations, using myself as the foundation to simulate various forms.)

There was no doubt about it. This person was using a soul skill to slack off!

As the strongest Dragon King lurking in the human world, Gu Yuena felt it was necessary to remind this God King.

"Um, you..." After a pause, Gu Yuena changed her form of address. "Yuhao, can you include me? I don't want to listen either."

The God King did not want to attend class, and neither did the Dragon King!

When Huo Yuhao heard the Sound Transmission, he looked at Gu Yuena strangely.

After thinking about it, he still expanded the range of Simulation and included Gu Yuena inside.

Then Gu Yuena saw that Huo Yuhao was engraving a Soul Guidance Array.

"..."

Fine. Even his slacking off was this distinctive. As expected of Yuhao.

Gu Yuena, who somehow felt that she was the only one truly goofing off, pursed her lips.

And on the podium, Luo Yanglu looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena below, who appeared to be listening seriously, and a vein popped on his forehead.

He knew what Huo Yuhao was doing. The other party had told him; he was only using Simulation so he would not disrupt class order.

Then, Student Gu Yuena, what were you doing?

Don't think I didn't notice that you were enveloped within the Simulation range. Even your movements changed!

While teaching history, Luo Yanglu activated a secret technique—Sound Transmission into Secrecy.

"Yuhao understands the history from ten thousand years ago very well, to the point where he can even specify what major events happened in a certain year, month, and day. Student Gu Yuena, do you have that ability? Please tell me, what year, month, and day was the continent unified? When was it changed into a federal system? When was the first Federation Assembly held?"

Gu Yuena's expression stiffened slightly. "I'm sorry, I don't know."

Although she had lived through that era as well, Huo God King had been moving around outside, while she had stayed in the Lake of Life. How would she have had the chance to know major historical events... Besides, she usually would not pay attention to such useless information anyway.

"If you don't, then listen."

Luo Yanglu seemed somewhat helpless. "The Spirit Pagoda is part of the Federation. We are not the Spirit Hall from twenty thousand years ago. We should regard ourselves as Federation personnel, understand the Federation's historical development, and not be completely ignorant when asked."

"The Spirit Pagoda is powerful, but precisely because we are powerful, certain attitudes must be made even clearer. That is also why Spirit Pagoda Headquarters was established in Mingdu and has not been changed for ten thousand years. It represents our support for the Federation."

"You and Yuhao will be the future pillars of the Spirit Pagoda, but you cannot act too recklessly."

They were already powerful to begin with. If they did not keep a lower profile, were they supposed to just wait for the Federation to target them and for the major forces to besiege them?

When it was time to keep a low profile, they had to keep a low profile!

Look at the First Generation Tower Master. He was a hidden Douluo, only emerging after becoming a Limit Douluo. Their ancestors had all been like this, which showed that there was nothing shameful about keeping a low profile.

The Continent Wind and Cloud List was something they had created to divert attention, so the Spirit Pagoda would not appear so conspicuous.

As for the Young Genius List, their Spirit Pagoda would place their own people on it, even give them high rankings, or even the top spot, to show that they had not declined. But the Continent Wind and Cloud List was different.

After all, the meanings represented by geniuses and by true powerhouses were not the same.

For example, the number-one position on the Wind and Cloud List had been directly thrown to the Heaven Supporting Douluo by their Spirit Pagoda after they found an opportunity.

The number one person on the continent was the Heaven Supporting Douluo of Shrek Academy, and no one was his match—this was what our Spirit Pagoda said. Believe it or not, as you like!

As for whether he really was or not, they actually did not know either. After all, the strongest Quasi-God on their side had never fought that man in his prime. But that did not matter. They were talking about people, not counting Soul Beasts, and even Tower Master Di Tian had tacitly allowed it...

That list had existed for so many years that everyone trusted it quite a bit. As long as the Federation's people believed it, that was enough. Nothing else mattered!

After Gu Yuena listened to this string of grand reasoning, she nodded. Only then did she remember that she was covered by the simulation, so the other party could not see her. She simply continued transmitting her voice. "All right, Teacher Luo."

Then she corrected her attitude and listened to the lesson seriously.

Luo Yanglu nodded inwardly. Good. This young lady was not the arrogant sort. She could accept advice.

Then he suddenly reacted. Wasn't something a little wrong?

Gu Yuena had not spoken aloud. How had the two of them just communicated?

A two-ring Soul Grandmaster had already learned "Sound Transmission into Secrecy"?

Luo Yanglu's expression turned complicated.

As expected... she was a monster.
