Could Lin Fan Really Be from That Era?

Over at Shrek Academy, Long Yeyue and the others had also turned their attention to the Soul-Eating Carving Knife Lin Fan had purchased.

"Although Lin Fan is already a Titled Douluo and won't easily have his mind affected, wasn't what he wanted the Gold of Life? A carving knife ranked ninety-ninth isn't much use to a Level-Nine Soul Engineer like him, is it?"

"He'll have to find a way to purify the evil aura on it. But the question is... who in this era can do that?"

Just then, someone suddenly spoke up.

"Do you think... Lin Fan might go looking for Electrolux?"

The moment those words were spoken, everyone present froze for a moment.

The speaker was a slightly younger elder. Seeing everyone look at him, he quickly explained.

"The records state it clearly. Ten thousand years ago, in order to explain the birth of Soul Spirits to the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yuhao had revealed Electrolux's existence to the elders of that time."

Electrolux's existence had only ever been recorded within Shrek Academy. Even the Spirit Pagoda knew nothing about it. Of course, what difference did that make? They did not have Soul Spirit Technology.

"Impossible. At this point in time, no one even knows that Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring was a Million-Year Soul Ring."

Someone shook his head and spoke.

That made perfect sense, and everyone present nodded.

"Speaking of that... don't you find it strange?"

Someone quickly noticed the suspicious point and raised it.

"Hidden Azure Pavilion has already developed into a considerable force and even gained a foothold in the Star Luo Empire, yet when we looked through historical records, we could barely find any mention of Hidden Azure Pavilion. Does that make sense?"

"Even a reclusive sect like the Clear Sky Sect has at least a few scattered mentions in historical texts. But Hidden Azure Pavilion, just like Lin Fan, seems as though it never existed."

"How much of our understanding of that era's history is missing?"

"Especially... how much do we truly know about Lin Fan himself?"

Those words plunged everyone present into silence.

It really was too strange.

A genius who broke through to Titled Douluo at nineteen, the master of a pavilion who established Hidden Azure Pavilion and controlled cutting-edge Soul Tool technology, a man who was gradually prying history off its original course—yet there was almost no record of him in official history.

That in itself was an exceedingly bizarre matter.

Meanwhile, within the Light Screen, Lin Fan had already returned with Leng Yaozhu and Ling Luochеn. This time was more convenient, as they returned directly to his residence without needing a car.

"Next, I'm planning to make a trip to Shrek Academy. I'll be back soon, so go settle into your rooms first. These are your rooms."

As he spoke, Lin Fan assigned rooms to both of them. The rooms were the same size and directly opposite each other.

Naturally, the two women nodded after hearing Lin Fan's words, though they still felt somewhat puzzled. What was Lin Fan planning to do by going to Shrek Academy now?

Lin Fan arrived at Shrek Academy's Outer Court. Then, his black eyes lit up as he directly used Spiritual Detection. Spiritual Detection was not necessarily a soul skill granted by a Soul Beast; once one's spiritual power reached a certain level, it could be achieved naturally.

The same applied to Spiritual Detection Sharing and Spiritual Shock. Even an ability like Time Reversal could be achieved once one's spiritual power reached a sufficient level.

"Yuhao, come out for a moment."

Lin Fan directly locked onto that familiar aura. Before long, Huo Yuhao pushed open the door and walked out, looking at Lin Fan in confusion.

He seemed to be confirming whether Lin Fan was, like himself, a soul master with spiritual attributes. Although Lin Fan had previously displayed a Spatial Martial Soul, perhaps he possessed Twin Martial Souls.

"Teacher Lin, did you need something from me?"

Lin Fan gestured for Huo Yuhao to follow him, then brought him directly back to the room through a spatial gate.

"This is..."

Huo Yuhao was too shocked to speak. This ability was simply too miraculous.

Leng Yaozhu and Ling Luochеn, who were standing nearby, also came out curiously to examine Huo Yuhao. Why had Lin Fan brought Huo Yuhao here?

"Yuhao, I came to see you today because I need something."

"Teacher Lin, did something go wrong with the class transfer?"

Worry immediately appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

After all, the three of them were currently being targeted. If things continued like this, they might truly be eliminated during the Freshman Grand Competition. If he left Shrek Academy, he would truly have nowhere else to go.

"It's not that. I've already spoken to Elder Mu about the class transfer. Someone will come notify you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Teacher Lin!"

Huo Yuhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Just then, Lin Fan took the Soul-Eating Carving Knife out of his Storage Soul Tool.

Huo Yuhao's gaze fell upon the carving knife, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He involuntarily took half a step back, his azure eyes filled with vigilance.

"Teacher Lin... what is that?"

"I can feel that this thing... is very evil."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's reaction, Ling Luochеn could not help turning her head to glance at Lin Fan, her eyes full of confusion.

She wondered if Lin Fan was planning to have Huo Yuhao solve the curse on that carving knife.

A one-ring soul master...

Honestly, that idea was somewhat absurd.

Leng Yaozhu did not speak, but she had clearly come to the same conclusion as Ling Luochеn.

No matter what, Huo Yuhao was only a freshman who had just enrolled not long ago. His Soul Power Level was only one ring, so he probably could not handle something like this.

In Leng Yaozhu's view, finding an Evil Soul Master to deal with this thing might even work better.

"Yuhao, I'd like to ask the one in your Sea of Spirit to do me a favor."

The moment those words left his mouth, Huo Yuhao's eyes abruptly narrowed, his face filled with shock.

At the same time, within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's chubby face was full of astonishment.

"Big brother's been discovered?!"

"No way! Big brother is a Million-Year Soul Beast, and the first intelligent Soul Ring in the world! How could anyone possibly know I exist?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rolled over, his enormous body churning through the Sea of Spirit as he spoke anxiously.

"And big brother can't help him either! I'm just an ordinary million-year silkworm baby!"

"Little Yuhao! Don't panic yet! Stay calm!"

"You absolutely can't let anyone discover that your first Soul Ring is big brother! Once it's exposed, with your current strength, even with big brother helping you, things will probably still be bad!"

Huo Yuhao wanted to calm down as well, but the expression on his face was utterly panicked. His trump card had been seen through. He was only an eleven-year-old boy—how could he remain calm?

"I'm not asking that big fat bug inside you for help."

Lin Fan smiled after seeing Huo Yuhao's reaction.

"I'm asking the other one in your Sea of Spirit for help—Senior Electrolux."

The moment those words fell, everyone on Shrek Academy's side froze.

"How could he possibly know about Electrolux?!"

Long Yeyue's face was full of disbelief.

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. At this point in time, aside from Huo Yuhao, no one else could possibly know!"

The expressions on the others' faces were equally incredulous.

"Exactly. Lin Fan is someone from ten thousand years ago—where did he get this information?!"

"Just who is Lin Fan? Not only did he obtain the Soul-Eating Carving Knife that originally belonged to Huo Yuhao ahead of time, he even knows of Electrolux's existence. Could he really be from that era?"
