Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 454 Arrival at Shrek Academy! Goodbye Wang Dong (Bonus Chapter)
Huo Yuhao reined in his horse and gazed into the distance.

The layout of this vast continent slowly unfolded in my mind.

In the present Douluo Continent, four kingdoms stand side by side.

The Star Luo Empire has endured to this day, while the Heaven Dou Empire has split into two kingdoms: Heaven Soul and Dou Ling.

The Sun Moon Continent, which collided with the Douluo Continent four thousand years ago, has only one empire on it—the Sun Moon Empire.

The Sun and Moon Empire launched a great war back then, but ultimately suffered a defeat.

After the two continents merged and joined together, they were collectively known as the Douluo Continent.

Shrek Academy played a crucial role in that war, and has since remained aloof from the four great empires.

The academy is located in the southeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire, bordering the Star Dou Great Forest to the southeast, the Dou Ling Empire to the east, and the Star Luo Empire to the south.

It is situated at a crucial juncture where three great empires meet.

Huo Yuhao continued to observe and learn as he went.

Although these are all landscapes I saw in my previous life.

After a year of arduous training in the far north, surrounded by endless white snow, seeing these lush mountains and verdant vegetation again fills me with a sense of joy.

"The far north is vast and magnificent, while the inland areas are full of vitality."

He gently squeezed the horse's belly.

The horse galloped swiftly along the wide official road.

The boy's hair was matted from neglect, and his coarse blue linen robe was covered in dust.

His attire was indeed much more disheveled than when he was at Shrek Academy in his previous life, but his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

I felt as if the sky was high and the earth was vast, and I could roam freely.

"The Star Luo Empire's checkpoint is just ahead. Once you pass through, you'll be at Shrek Academy!"

The horse galloped past, passing through two passes and undergoing another inspection.

Huo Yuhao finally stepped into Shrek Academy territory.

It is less of an academy.

It's more like a city.

As he rode out of the last thicket, the majestic city walls stretched endlessly to both sides of the distant plain, like a giant dragon lying horizontally.

Shrek Academy is situated on a vast plain.

It is a city in itself, known as Shrek City.

This city is one of the largest cities on the Douluo Continent, with a population of over two million.

Shrek Academy even has complete autonomy over the city and does not have to pay taxes to any empire.

"Shrek Academy is located in the east of the city, facing the Star Dou Great Forest, in order to prevent the Soul Beast Tide."

Huo Yuhao let his horse roam freely, slowly entering the city.

The scene was bustling with activity, with shops lining both sides of the road, and Soul Masters and ordinary people jostling shoulder to shoulder – a truly prosperous sight.

In the sea of ​​knowledge.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smacked its lips and said:
"This world is lacking something."

"It appears prosperous, but in reality, it is constantly embroiled in war, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface."

"Do you know about the Douluo Continent beneath the True Realm of the Gods? The Heavenly Dou Empire is the most powerful, but there is no need to worry about its ambitions growing, simply because the numerous statues in the Divine Hall will regularly inspect and supervise it."

"The Sun Moon Continent there has not yet connected with Douluo Continent, but the three great empires have already sent envoys to sea to establish diplomatic relations ahead of schedule."

"They also exchanged soul power cultivation methods for soul tool technology, and I heard that even the imperial system will be abolished and replaced by federal co-governance."

"That's... a truly perfect world!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes first flashed with longing, then turned into determination.

"I want to become a god as soon as possible, and be guided by that being to step onto the planet of gods!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued:
"Yuhao, you'd better work even harder."

"If you perform well enough, the Immortal Brother might take you over with you, along with your ties to this world."

"For the Immortal Brother, gathering the long river of time and space of countless worlds and rescuing a few people from time and space is not a big deal."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and nodded emphatically.

"Ok!"

A cup of tea.

We've arrived at Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao looked up.

The academy gate stands majestically, with the three powerful characters "Shrek" engraved on the archway made of huge stones.

Students dressed in yellow outfits and wearing badges on their chests walked to and fro in front of the gate, each one full of vigor and youthful spirit.

The entire academy seemed to be enveloped in a vibrant and upward-looking spirit. "Sigh..."

At this time.

Electrolux suddenly let out a soft sigh.

Huo Yuhao asked:
Why did Elder Yi sigh?

"This academy may seem vibrant and energetic, and it is known as the best in the Douluo Continent, but in reality, it is already showing signs of decline."

"Elder Yi, I would like to hear the details."

"It's just that the sight of this place brought back memories of the future you told me about."

Electrolux said slowly:
As the saying goes, prosperity inevitably leads to decline.

"Even if that level 12 soul tool doesn't destroy Shrek Academy in the future, the academy will still be destined to decline."

"Excessive independence will eventually breed hegemony, and even if the major empires do not say it on the surface, they are probably already wary or even hostile."

"Other academies are also rising, the monopoly of top geniuses is being broken, and Shrek's advantage is being eroded little by little."

"Furthermore, the lagging behind in the field of soul tools has become a weakness that has caused us to lose the initiative."

The old man's voice carried the wisdom and experience of someone who had seen the world.

"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; Shrek Academy can still sit on its laurels for a while longer."

Huo Yuhao nodded silently, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He lingered at the college gate for only a short while.

Students passing by cast strange glances at the ragged boy.

Huo Yuhao remained calm, walked to the corner by the gate, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

We eagerly await Zhang Lexuan's arrival.

Six boys and girls dressed in Shrek school uniforms walked from a distance.

They were still excitedly discussing their experiences on their trip to the far north, their words filled with admiration and longing for the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Defeating a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in ten moves, Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao is too strong!"

"One day, I, Xu Sanshi, will also become that kind of strongman!"

At this time.

Beibei sighed softly, her tone tinged with a mixture of helplessness and admiration.

"Speaking of which..."

"The most surprising thing about this trip to the far north was that mysterious young man named Huo Yuhao."

"He is the most extraordinary genius I have ever seen in my life."

These words immediately silenced everyone.

Walked a few more steps.

The Shrek gates came into view.

Wang Dong suddenly stopped and stared straight at the academy gate.

"Wang Dong, what's wrong..."

Xiao Xiao followed her gaze and couldn't help but cover her mouth and gasp softly:
"Oh my god, he's here!"

Beibei and the others also turned their heads.

When they saw the figure sitting in the corner, their faces showed curiosity and awe.

"Why...why did he come to Shrek Academy?"

"Didn't he refuse Senior Ma Xiaotao's invitation?"

Jiang Nannan's pretty face turned pale, and a sour taste rose in her mouth.

The scene of the boy crushing Dai Huabin's head with his bare hands that day resurfaced in my mind.

He Caitou touched his bald head.

"Should we go say hello?"

The usually carefree Xu Sanshi became quiet this time and whispered:
"Let's take a detour!"

"This guy is no pushover!"

While everyone hesitated, Wang Dong had already taken a long stride.

"Wang Dong!"

Several people hurriedly called out in low voices, but they were unable to stop them.

Wang Dong walked straight toward Huo Yuhao, who was meditating cross-legged.
