Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 20: Never to be remembered in history

"Everything is ready, come with me."

Long Hengxu took the lead and walked into the Spirit Pagoda, followed closely by the others led by Wu Changkong.

The first floor of the Spirit Pagoda, also the facade of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, is naturally extremely luxurious. The first thing you see is a floor paved with dark gold stone, resplendent and exuding nobility. It features dazzling natural patterns, and massive stone pillars support a dome tens of meters high. Even more breathtaking are the magnificent colorful murals on these pillars and the dome.

The mural is incredibly lifelike, clearly depicting two figures that seem to be telling the story of a continuation.

The carving depicts a palace, with a set of steps winding up from the ground to the palace's majestic gate before the newly built buildings.

The young man standing at the bottom of the steps has blue hair and blue eyes. His eyes are particularly bright, and even though it is just a mural, you can still see his spiritedness in it.

He was surrounded by spirit rings of various colors, and several kinds of creatures surrounded him, protecting him.

Tang Wulin's eyes gleamed with surprise as he asked, "What is this?"

Wu Changkong was also looking at the mural. "This is the first generation of Spirit Pagoda Master, a legendary Soul Master, and the inventor of Soul Spirits, Spirit Ice Douluo."

This confirmed Tang Wulin's suspicions, and he also learned the person's name.

Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, was a prodigy ten thousand years ago. Starting as an ordinary youth, he joined the legendary Shrek Academy and gradually rose to become a top-tier powerhouse, shaking the continent. According to legend, he most likely broke through the limits of humanity, traveled to the realm of gods, and ultimately became a god.

Xie Xie looked at the entire mural, seemingly noticing something. He pointed curiously to the top of the mural and asked, "Teacher Wu, who is that up there?"

Following the direction of his finger, the content of the mural came into view.

At the very top of the mural, which is also the very top of the steps, there is a young man with one foot already on it, while the other foot is still on the last step.

All he left the world with was his back view, with only half of his face turned slightly backward at a 45-degree angle, yet his true appearance remained obscured.

This mural appears to depict the Spirit Ice Douluo, with the others seemingly secondary. However, upon closer inspection, the figure at the very top appears to be the main character. The mural's creator seems to have intentionally focused more on this figure, creating what appears to be background with remarkably delicate brushstrokes.

Wu Changkong was also looking at that figure. For some reason, this teacher, who was omniscient and omnipotent in the eyes of everyone in Class Zero, also fell silent for a while.

Seemingly having carefully chosen his words, he said, "According to records, this person is a close friend of Spirit Ice Douluo, and is said to be one of the important creators of Soul Spirits. However, there are very few records about him; all that is known is that he may be the most outstanding genius Soul Master in human history."

The most outstanding genius Soul Master in human history!?

That's a really impressive title.

Since the existence of Soul Masters tens of thousands of years ago, countless geniuses have emerged, yet none have made a ripple in the long river of history.

Not only did they have the original Shrek Seven Devils and Tang San, who eventually became a god, but later, there was also the Spirit Ice Douluo who created soul spirits, making a significant contribution to the development of soul masters. However, who among them was more talented remains inconclusive to this day, with historians offering their own opinions on both sides.

But now, they heard this title from Wu Changkong's mouth. Not everyone deserves the title of "most outstanding."

Lin Ci's lips twitched, her expression strange.

Wang Jinxi's eyes were filled with admiration for the strong. He asked, "Teacher Wu, what's his name? I've never heard of him before?"

Yes, whether it's Tang San or Huo Yuhao, even if not every household knows them, at least every Soul Master knows their names, and their life stories have been widely circulated.

Especially when children can't sleep at night, parents often scare them by saying that if they can't sleep, Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San will turn into a giant spider and eat them up!

Yeah, that's scary.

"I don't know," Wu Changkong said calmly.

"Ah, you don't know?" Wang Jinxi's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "How could such an accomplished person be unknown even by name?"

Wu Changkong shook his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on the figure in the mural, and slowly said, "The river of history is too long, and many truths have been buried by the dust of time. Perhaps he deliberately concealed his identity, or perhaps his records were intentionally erased during certain special historical events. In short, we know very little about him."

No one doubted Wu Changkong's words, because there was no need for him to lie to them. Therefore, such a figure did indeed exist in history.

Zhang Yangzi exclaimed, "Whether he is the most outstanding or not, I don't know, but he is definitely the most mysterious."

Wu Changkong shook his head slightly. What he didn't tell them was that some of his deeds were clearly recorded in the inner court records of Shrek Academy.

And in the introduction to his biography, it is clearly stated that:

Shrek Academy has produced the most outstanding and talented Soul Masters since its founding, and indeed in the entire history of Soul Masters.

Shrek Academy doesn't have many records about him, but one thing is very clear: he once publicly berated Tang San, the leader of the original Shrek Seven Devils, in the inner courtyard.

He cursed like that for a whole day and night, and it was said to be very offensive. There are also accounts that his martial spirit was a sword, and that he himself seemed to be like his martial spirit…

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Wu Changkong didn't know why this was recorded, but he couldn't tell the others in Class Zero about it.

Gu Yue remained silent, her dark, watery eyes fixed on the young man in the mural, even though it was just his back.

As she looked around, she kept glancing at the boy next to her.

Without realizing it, she seemed to see double images; she had a feeling that the two figures were somewhat... overlapping...

She had always been unwilling to admit it, yet she had passively accepted it. Perhaps Na'er's guess was right, but she dared not believe it, fearing it was all fake and that in the end it would all be for nothing.

Lin Ci simply looked on, and as she looked on, a look of reminiscence inevitably appeared in her eyes.

It's been too long, really too long. Some things, some people, have become hazy in memory. Even if he was brought to this era, his sense of time is still decades behind.

He arrived here, but some of the people he once knew had all turned to dust. No matter how renowned or spirited they were in life, the end result was the same. After all, not everyone can become a god, and not every seed will grow into a towering tree.

……

History has no trace of him, yet his traces are everywhere in history.

Actually, you can't always read fanfiction from the perspective of the original work. For example, the bet between Gu Yue and Na'er is different. It will all be explained later, and the actions of Gu Yue or others will also have reasonable explanations.
