Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

What are you doing?

Gu Yue felt uneasy under Su Mo's gaze, which held a hint of sympathy. She frowned and was about to lash out when she suddenly felt a distinct chill approaching.

As the footsteps grew closer, Wu Changkong's figure slowly appeared at the classroom door.

However, Wu Changkong was in a very bad mood today, and his face was terribly gloomy.

His usually indifferent expression seemed magnified several times over, like a dark cloud hanging over the Zero Class classroom.

Wu Changkong didn't speak; only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the quiet classroom, each step feeling like a heavy blow to everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.

The entire Class Zero classroom fell silent instantly; the silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Wu Changkong, enough to freeze the air, Tang Wulin and the others were so frightened that they held their breath and dared not utter a sound.

Tang Wulin tried several times to ask Wu Changkong what had happened, but he was so frightened by Wu Changkong's cold gaze that he swallowed his words.

Tang Wulin could swear to God that, having spent so much time with Wu Changkong, this was the first time he had ever seen Wu Changkong show such an out-of-control expression.

As someone who knew Wu Changkong's background, Su Mo naturally knew why Wu Changkong was so angry today, but Su Mo did not intend to point it out.

Wu Changkong was extremely upset because of what happened at Shrek Academy yesterday and desperately needed a place to vent his anger.

Even if Su Mo wasn't afraid of Wu Changkong, she wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke him at a time like this.

Wu Changkong walked up to the podium, his gaze sweeping across the entire class like a blade, his cold eyes finally settling on Tang Wulin.

At this moment, Tang Wulin was sitting in his seat with a tense body, his expression showing a hint of nervousness and unease.

Seeing Tang Wulin's cautious demeanor, Wu Changkong was startled and suddenly realized that he had lost his composure.

Wu Changkong had never wanted to show too much emotion in front of Tang Wulin and the others, but today he couldn't help but let his emotions show.

But we can't entirely blame him.

What happened at Shrek yesterday was absolutely infuriating!

Although he had already left Shrek Academy, the anger surging in his chest when he thought about what happened yesterday almost made him lose control again.

Just yesterday, Shrek Academy, with its long history and countless glorious epics, suffered an unprecedented humiliation.

The other party's blatant provocation not only damaged the academy's reputation but also slapped every Shrek student in the face.

Wu Changkong slowly clenched his fist at the edge of the podium, his knuckles turning white from the force.

What annoyed him even more was that, given the speed at which news spread throughout the Sun and Moon Federation, yesterday's events had probably already spread throughout the entire continent.

How will those ordinary people who used to look up to Shrek, and those who always hoped Shrek would make a fool of himself, now talk about Shrek?

Just imagining the voices that might mock Shrek made Wu Changkong's heart burn like it was on fire, and his anger was about to burst out of his chest uncontrollably.

Wu Changkong took a deep breath, trying his best to keep his tone of voice calm.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the final exams."

"Uh-huh!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

A large group of people followed Wu Changkong out of the gates of Donghai Academy.

A soul-guided bus was already prepared at the school gate. After they boarded, it started and slowly drove towards the outskirts of Donghai City.

The air inside the carriage was incredibly oppressive.

Wu Changkong sat upright in the front row, his posture as sharp as a drawn sword, so cold that no one dared to approach him.

Su Mo and Tang Wulin both chose to keep their distance from Wu Changkong and took up seats in the back rows.

Along the way, the atmosphere inside the Soul Guidance Bus was eerily quiet, with only the deep rumble of the engine echoing in their ears.

Tang Wulin, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but whisper in Xie Xie's ear, "Xie Xie, do you know what's wrong with Teacher Wu? He seems particularly angry today."

Xie Xie rolled his eyes, looking helpless. "I don't know! I've been so busy cultivating lately that I haven't even had time to gossip."

Tang Wulin's expression fell slightly. If even Xie Xie, the "top student in Class Zero," didn't know, then no one in their group would know either.

"That's why, of course..."

Su Mo's voice suddenly rang out behind the two of them.

Tang Wulin was taken aback and hurriedly turned around to see Su Mo leaning back in her chair with a calm expression.

"Su Mo, you know about this?"

Tang Wulin's tone carried a hint of surprise and curiosity.

Gu Yue also turned to look at Su Mo with curiosity, her eyes filled with both curiosity and some apprehension.

Su Mo ignored the look Gu Yue gave him and simply took out his soul communication device and tapped a few times.

"I'll send you the message, check it yourselves."

A short while later, a new message appeared in the class group chat for Class Zero.

Tang Wulin clicked on it immediately, and the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The headline boldly proclaimed: "The Shrek Academy's Undefeated Myth Shattered, the Goddess of Light May Usher in a New Era for Soul Masters!"

Although the title was only a dozen words long, it struck Tang Wulin's heart like a heavy hammer.

Tang Wulin gasped, suppressing the turmoil in his chest, and continued reading, calming his unease.

"This...this is impossible..."

"Wasn't she long ago?!"

When Tang San, who was hiding deep within Tang Wulin's spiritual world, saw the appearance of the "Goddess of Light," his pupils suddenly contracted and his voice trembled unusually.

As the mastermind behind the substitution back then, even if the person in front of him turned to ashes, Tang San would still remember him.

"Wu Lin, could you look up the martial soul and name of this Goddess of Light?"

Tang San took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his tone calm as he spoke.

Although Tang San tried his best to keep his tone calm, Tang Wulin still noticed something was off about Tang San's tone.

"What's wrong, Lao Tang? Your voice sounds a bit off."

Faced with Tang Wulin's concern, Tang San lied without thinking, "It's nothing, it's just that seeing this Goddess of Light reminded me of an old friend."

Without a second thought, Tang Wulin quietly relayed the information about the Goddess of Light to Tang San, word by word.

"Di Qiu'er... her martial soul is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!!!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San felt a sudden "boom" in his heart, his pupils contracted sharply, and he even held his breath for a moment.

Based on these two pieces of information alone, Tang San could be 100% certain that the so-called Goddess of Light was none other than the Imperial Beast from the Star Dou Forest ten thousand years ago!

But there was one thing Tang San couldn't understand: how exactly did Di Qiu'er's soul escape from the depths of the underworld and even reincarnate in the Douluo Continent?

Back then, in order to avoid Huo Yuhao noticing anything unusual.

After Wang Qiu'er made her sacrifice, he personally went to the underworld and imprisoned the part of the soul belonging to the Emperor Beast in the abyss of the underworld.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have had the chance to reappear in the world, but now she has reappeared.

"Was it an accident or...?"

A look of unprecedented seriousness flashed in Tang San's eyes, and a faint sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

If this is just a coincidence, then all is well.

The turbulent flow of spacetime can even sweep away the realm of gods, so it's quite normal for the underworld to be impacted as well.

If the soul of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accidentally escaped during that great calamity and happened to be reborn in the Douluo Continent, then everything before our eyes can be explained.

But what if this isn't a coincidence?

Tang San felt a tightness in his chest. If someone had really deliberately "fished" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul out of the underworld, then things would be very complicated.
