Chapter 1 The Destruction of the Academy
Boom! Accompanied by bursts of sparks reaching the sky and the earth, a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, carrying clouds, hurtled towards Shrek Academy, which was already engulfed in flames.
On the ground, Tang Wulin, covered in dust, stared blankly at everything that was happening before him, feeling utterly desperate.
Despite the tears of resentment streaming down his face, his eyes were so irritated by the surrounding smoke that he couldn't even blink, preventing the tears from effectively relieving his dryness.
"Is it all over? Is Shrek Academy going to be destroyed here for no reason? Is Shrek Academy really going to perish here today?"
Glancing at his companions in the crater behind him, Tang Wulin had a sudden thought. "No, the sacrifice of Pavilion Master Yunming and the others cannot be wasted. As the team leader, I need to do something... but..."
A trace of desolation flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes. "Gu Yue, Na'er, Mom and Dad, I will never see you again. Why did you all leave without saying goodbye? Did I do something wrong?"
What exactly do you expect from me? I've been trying my best, but I'm too tired. I can't do it anymore. I'm sorry, this time, I'll be the one leaving without saying goodbye.
After mentally resolving everything, Tang Wulin hesitated no longer. His eyes narrowed, and he leaped into the air, his battle armor covering his entire body.
All the spirit rings on his body suddenly shone brightly, and he gripped the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand, charging straight towards the spirit-guided cannonball in the air!
On the ground, only Ye Xinglan could barely protect the others. Seeing Tang Wulin's actions, she was shocked and reached out to stop him.
But it was all in vain. Tang Wulin had already transformed into a golden light and collided violently with the soul-guided cannonball.
Boom! A massive shockwave exploded outwards, instantly engulfing Tang Wulin in a sea of fire. Feeling his body being rapidly annihilated, Tang Wulin closed his eyes, offering no further resistance.
Just then, two strange energies surged from Tang Wulin's dantian. Tang Wulin was startled and observed them. To his surprise, he discovered that they were the primordial energies of life and destruction that he had encountered on Devil's Island. He didn't know when these two forces had been lurking in his body. At this critical moment of life and death, the two forces rapidly rotated, forming a mysterious power that made Tang Wulin feel dizzy for a moment. Then, he lost consciousness.
After the explosion ended, Ye Xinglan stared blankly at everything before her, still reeling from the enormous change. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she spotted a figure rushing towards her from not far away in the air.
In the night sky, Gu Yue held the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand. She stared blankly at the spot where the soul-guided cannonball had engulfed Tang Wulin, her eyelashes trembling slightly. *Thud*, the Silver Dragon Spear slowly fell from the sky, plunging heavily into the scorching earth.
……
Ten thousand years ago, in the Star Luo Empire, sunlight streamed freely onto the meticulously arranged streets, flanked by lush vegetation. The clear sound of a river could be heard intermittently. In the middle of the road, a specially modified carriage clattered along. Inside, a wealthy young master was shamelessly flirting with a young lady, completely unaware that his every word was being overheard by a figure secretly hitching a ride on the roof of his carriage.
On the roof of the car, twelve-year-old Tang Wulin munched on sunflower seeds, listening with great interest to the conversation below. "Dai Huabin? The son of the Duke of White Tiger? What a coincidence. I don't know many nobles in this era, but I just happen to run into someone with a familiar surname."
Thinking to himself, Tang Wulin opened the map in the sunlight and casually examined it. "As it stands, it's not deviating much from my route. I'd better hold out a little longer this time, or I'll have to change vehicles again."
Twelve years ago, Tang Wulin was transported to the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago and stayed in a small town at the foot of Haotian Sect Mountain. Although he was conscious, he was still an infant. He fell directly next to a latrine. Although he didn't starve to death, he would have been killed by the stench if the people from the orphanage hadn't found him.
So Tang Wulin grew up in this orphanage. His life was peaceful until he was six years old. Occasionally, he would see sect disciples trying out the legendary martial soul at the foot of Haotian Peak. To be honest, Tang Wulin was envious. He had mastered the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to perfection, yet he didn't even have a hammer-type martial soul.
Unfortunately, this is what happens when you don't have a good family background. You only have one martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, not to mention your soul spirit. When he was a child, watching that little grass snake that jumped around and acted cute with him, Tang Wulin always lived in a state of being both angry and amused.
However, compared to his previous life, his situation is much better now. After transmigrating, Tang Wulin was pleasantly surprised to find that the things he used to own were still in his storage soul tool, including the forging hammer, the soul tool, and his battle armor!
His two-word battle armor and the battle armor blueprint were actually three-word battle armor blueprints that Gu Yue had designed for him when he was just a teenager—a truly extraordinary achievement. This gave Tang Wulin, whose foundation in battle armor manufacturing was previously weak, some rather unrealistic ideas.
You have to understand, battle armor is an overpowered item these days. It increases your strength by at least two rings, and the fact that it has built-in repair capabilities is just too overpowered. Faced with this situation, Tang Wulin naturally wanted to do something.
However, those are not things he should be thinking about now. At the age of six, he awakened his martial soul, still with innate soul power at level three. Fortunately, it was the Blue Silver Emperor, so he didn't have to endure the torture of the Body Sect again to allow his martial soul to awaken a second time. However, the local teacher Wang Dagang was not very knowledgeable and only thought that this was a Blue Silver King whose bloodline was slightly higher than that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Having experienced the journey before his transmigration, Tang Wulin's cultivation went very smoothly this time, and he quickly reached a bottleneck. Teacher Wang Dagang was very happy. However, what embarrassed Tang Wulin was that the confident Wang Dagang took him to find a spirit ring, and in the end, he actually chose a ten-year-old Guzhu for him. This shocked Tang Wulin, who thought that this was too crazy. Even if he killed his cheap teacher, it would still be more than ten years.
However, the kind-hearted Tang Wulin did not put his idea into practice. He simply used the language skills he had honed with Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan to coax him and secretly produced his first spirit ring. That's right, he produced it himself.
Although it felt like a reincarnation of a soul beast, Tang Wulin knew that this was the reason why he brought his soul spirit with him after transmigrating. Fortunately, his soul spirit had already undergone multiple temperings on the Spirit Ascension Platform and by himself, and was no longer the useless soul spirit it once was. Naturally, Tang Wulin's first soul ring was purple. However, with his spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss Realm, Wang Dagang couldn't tell, so there were no other incidents.
Tang Wulin, having restarted his second life, had a more cheerful air about him. After all, compared to death, this outcome was much better than expected. Having been reborn, and due to hormones, Tang Wulin enjoyed his childhood even more, and his lifestyle was more like that of a child than before.
The only time he could recall his former melancholy was when he thought of people like Gu Yue, his parents, and others he couldn't let go of. At the same time, the destruction of Shrek Academy was like a lingering shadow in his heart, constantly on his mind. But now, he had traveled back in time, and Shrek Academy still existed then. Although he didn't know if the present and future could be altered, as long as the culprit, the Holy Spirit Cult, was dealt with, at least this time, ten thousand years later, Shrek Academy would probably be spared.
However, fate is so strange. Not long after, Tang Wulin met a woman. When that woman displayed the strength of at least a Super Douluo, Tang Wulin asked her name. But the woman just smiled and didn't say anything. It wasn't until later that Tang Wulin unexpectedly learned her name.
Ye Xishui, nicknamed the Grim Reaper.
