History of Mingdu Explosion

Anping nodded. "The dean is talking about the big explosion in Mingdu that happened ten thousand years ago. It had a lot to do with Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. Back then, the Sun-Moon Federation was still the Sun-Moon Empire. Douluo Continent was not united yet."

"Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao was an exchange student in the Sun-Moon Empire for a while. He learned soul guidance technology there. He found out that their technology was far ahead of the original Three Douluo Empires."

"He wanted to stop their progress, so he and some students from Shrek sneaked into the Mingdu Arsenal and stole a lot of rare items. They couldn't take everything, so they decided to destroy the rest."

"But they didn't know that they were too close to the warehouse where the level nine soul-guided artillery shells were stored. The shells exploded, killing millions of people. Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Academy were also badly damaged."

Everyone was shocked and incredulous by what Anping said. Huo Yuhao was the founder of the Spirit Pagoda. He was an idol to many people.

Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Is that true? Did Spirit Ice Douluo really do that? I thought Shrek Academy was always neutral in the affairs of the continent."

Anping snorted. "Neutral? No way. Shrek Academy was part of the original Douluo Continent. All the students and teachers there were from the original Douluo Continent. How could they be neutral?"

He added, "And Huo Yuhao was from the White Tiger Dai family of the original Star Luo Empire. If it wasn't for Tang San, the God of the Sea, who interfered in the continent's affairs, the Sun-Moon Empire would have taken over the whole continent ten thousand years ago."

Everyone understood why these things were hidden in history. It was probably because of the influence of Poseidon Tang San and Spirit Ice Douluo.

"Anping, wherever you learned this, don't spread it around, especially not in front of anyone from Shrek." Ling Hongchen looked serious. He turned to the others. "The same goes for you. Just treat it as a story."

They all nodded and promised not to tell anyone. They knew how the people from Shrek Academy were. Saying this kind of thing would only make things worse between the two colleges.

Ling Hongchen went on. "Anyway, I called you here to tell you about the schedule of this exchange event and the young soul master competition that the Star Luo Empire is holding. You can decide for yourselves whether you want to join and what kind of competition you want to sign up for. Think about it carefully when you go back."

He wanted to end the meeting quickly. He was afraid that Anping would say something else that would shock them.

As they left, the students like Long Chen, and Xue Liushuang gave Anping a strange look. They had read about the explosion in Mingdu in the history books, but they didn't know the reason behind it.

Now Anping said that it was because of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. They wondered how he knew these secrets, but they didn't ask. They left Ling Hongchen's room one by one.

On their way back, Le Zhengyu asked curiously, "By the way, why don't you two want to join the Star Luo Empire's soul master competition? You know those are soul bones. With your strength, you could easily win the championship."

"We have no interest in this kind of meaningless competition. Soul bones are not that important to us. Even if we got them, we would just use them as materials for making items." Anping said softly, shaking his head.

Xu Xiaoyan seemed to remember something. She said, "But I recall that you and Sister Nana joined the Skysea League competition when you were at Eastsea College, right? Why don't you want to join this one? This competition is much higher level than the Skysea League, isn't it?"

Le Zhengyu was curious too. He had heard Xu Xiaoyan talk about the Skysea League competition on the ship, including the match between Anping and Gu Yuena and Shrek Academy.

From what Xu Xiaoyan had said, Le Zhengyu thought that Anping and Gu Yuena didn't mind fighting with others. Why did they resist this competition in the Star Luo Empire?

He felt Xu Xiaoyan and him staring at Anping, who looked a little embarrassed. Gu Yuena knew what made Anping uncomfortable, and she laughed. "You might not believe it, but we joined the Skysea League competition for the prize money."

"No way!" Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu exclaimed in unison.

They would have believed Gu Yuena if she had said this before they came to the Star Luo Empire. But on the ship, they had seen the powerful men who could defeat the master of the Noumenon Sect call Anping and Gu Yuena young master and young lady.

How could a family with such power be short of money? The prize money for winning the Skysea League Competition was not that much. They found it hard to believe that Anping and Gu Yuena had joined the competition for money.

Anping sighed in relief. He said, "Believe it or not, that's why we joined the Skysea League competition. We were really poor back then. We borrowed money from Nana several times to buy rare metals."

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Anping and didn't say anything else. She saw their flirty looks and Le Zhengyu interrupted. "Xu Xiaoyan told me that you also fought with the performance team of Shrek Academy in the Skysea League competition."

He meant to say that if they didn't like meaningless competitions, why did they fight with Shrek's performance team?

Anping looked surprised. He said, "Didn't Xu Xiaoyan tell you? We fought with them because of the bet we made with Wu Zhangkong. If we lost, we would join Shrek Academy. If we won, we could arrange our own courses for the next term."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded. She knew about this, but she and Le Zhengyu had been talking about Anping and Gu Yuena's strength, not the reason for that match.

They soon reached the door of Anping and Gu Yuena's suite. They said goodbye and parted ways. The living facilities on the ship were not bad, but they still felt a bit cramped.

Now that they had finally arrived on land, Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan wanted to rest well for a few days before the exchange activities started.

They were not like Anping and Gu Yuena, who could move around freely. As students of Sun Moon Academy, they had to follow the college staff.
