Was Lin Fan's Record Erased by a Hidden Hand?

When the people of the Sun Moon Federation saw the Soul Tool Car Lin Fan had created, many of them frowned.

Given Lin Fan's status as a Level-Nine Soul Engineer, making a Soul Tool Car like this was not exactly impossible.

But the problem was that if this thing had already existed ten thousand years ago, then their history did not add up. According to their historical records, the prototype of the Soul Tool Car had only first appeared several thousand years ago.

Moreover, the Soul Tool Car Lin Fan had brought out did not look anything like a first-generation model. Its appearance was clearly already close to the Soul Tool Cars they currently used.

"Th-This... isn't right, is it?"

Someone could not help but speak in a low voice.

"If Soul Tool Cars had already been developed ten thousand years ago, why do our historical records say they first appeared only several thousand years ago?"

It had to be said that Lin Fan bringing out this Soul Tool Car had left quite a few people utterly confused.

"How is the investigation going? Have you found anything about Lin Fan?"

"No. Shrek Academy is investigating as well, but every trace of Lin Fan seems to have... been erased."

"No matter how we search, we can't find anything. It seems that there was never a person named Lin Fan in history at all."

Hearing this, everyone present felt a chill run down their backs.

Erasing all traces of someone's existence? What kind of concept was that?

One had to know that a nineteen-year-old Titled Douluo and Level-Nine Soul Engineer—those two titles alone made it absolutely impossible for him to have left no record in history.

What was more, they had personally seen that Lin Fan had saved Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Huo Yuhao would later become the founder of the Spirit Pagoda. Anyone connected to Huo Yuhao would basically leave some record in history, even if it was only a few scant lines.

But what about Lin Fan? There was nothing.

"There is probably... a huge problem behind this."

Someone spoke softly, with a hint of gravity in their voice.

"If someone or some force had deliberately erased every trace of Lin Fan, then such methods... would be far too terrifying."

"If someone had lived from ten thousand years ago until now, perhaps they might know something."

"Heh, anyone who lived until now has probably gone to the Divine Realm."

"Keep investigating. Make sure you find something!"

The Soul Tool Car was indeed extremely fast. It took them only around an hour to return from the vicinity of the Ming Dou Mountain Range to Shrek Academy.

During that time, the three of them did not need to use their own Soul Power to power the Soul Tool at all. They only needed to sit inside the car, making it exceptionally comfortable and convenient.

Ling Luochen watched the scenery flashing past outside the window, her heart filled with emotion. She had never observed the surrounding scenery in such a relaxed manner before.

After all, when acting alone, even with a Flying Soul Tool, she still had to remain alert to danger at all times.

The car came to a steady stop at the entrance of Shrek Academy, and the three of them got out.

Ling Luochen's gaze fell on Leng Yaozhu before she turned to Lin Fan and asked.

"By the way, Yaozhu hasn't found a place to stay yet, right?"

Lin Fan nodded in reply.

"I temporarily arranged an academy student identity for her, but I haven't had time to arrange her accommodation yet."

Upon hearing that, Ling Luochen spoke without hesitation.

"Then leave the rest to me. I'll arrange her lodging."

Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu could not help looking at Lin Fan, seemingly seeking his opinion.

Lin Fan gave a slight nod, indicating that it was fine.

Only then did Leng Yaozhu relax and smile at Ling Luochen.

"Sorry for the trouble, Luochen."

Although the two had not spent much time together, they got along quite well so far. At the very least, they did not seem irreconcilable, and there was even a faint sense that they clicked.

Ling Luochen was just about to take Leng Yaozhu away to arrange her accommodations when the three spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

Huo Yuhao was squatting in an open area within the academy, running a small stall. Several grilled fish lay on display, their fragrance drifting with the wind and smelling exceptionally enticing.

Huo Yuhao would eventually become a god, and his grilled fish was extremely famous throughout the central regions of the continent, especially in Heaven Dou City, Shrek City, and Star Luo City.

Leng Yaozhu had once tried a branch of Yuhao Grilled Fish with her family, but those were made in later generations. Their flavor would definitely differ from fish grilled personally by Huo Yuhao himself.

Even so, the food at those branches had still been quite good.

Huo Yuhao also spotted Lin Fan and the other two at that moment. Delight immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly rose to wave at them.

"Teacher Lin! Would you like to try my grilled fish? I'm fairly confident in my skills! These were just grilled today—I'll treat you for free!"

Lin Fan did not decline. He smiled and nodded.

"Alright, then thank you."

Lin Fan nodded with a smile. It was free, after all, and there was no reason to refuse it. Besides... this was so famous that Lin Fan was rather curious about it.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally found an opportunity to repay Lin Fan. Though it was only a meal of grilled fish and might be insignificant to Lin Fan, for Huo Yuhao, having the chance to express his gratitude was already not easy.

He quickly selected several of the best-grilled fish from his stall and handed them to the three.

Lin Fan took one and had a bite. The fish had been grilled to perfection, with a lightly charred exterior and tender flesh within. The fragrance of the seasoning had fully permeated the meat. It was indeed quite good.

"It tastes good."

Lin Fan nodded and gave his approval.

Ling Luochen and Leng Yaozhu each took a bite as well, nodding in agreement.

Seeing that all three praised it, Huo Yuhao's smile grew even brighter, his sapphire-blue eyes filled with delight.

"If you want some, I'll save some for you every day! Teacher Lin, you saved Wang Dong and me. Just having the chance to repay you is already wonderful!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan merely smiled and waved his hand, speaking casually.

"You don't need to save any every day. If I want some, I'll contact you."

Huo Yuhao hurriedly nodded and said nothing more, returning to serve his other customers.

Although Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall had only been open for a few days, the aroma had already drawn quite a few people over.

Just as Lin Fan and the others disappeared from Huo Yuhao's sight, a lazy voice suddenly rang out.

"Little Yuhao, that Lin Fan... is far from simple."

Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, Huo Yuhao was briefly stunned before replying inwardly.

"I know. Teacher Lin really is amazing."

As he responded to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of envy and longing. If only he possessed such strength...

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed somewhat helplessly, speechless.

"Little Yuhao, you're so dumb! What I mean is that you should cling to his thigh! With someone that awesome, it'd be a waste not to cling to him. And he's so young—he might even become a god."

At the mention of becoming a god, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tone was full of longing.

Just then, Huo Yuhao's stall became busy again, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could only sigh.
