"What are you trying to do?!" The four remaining people in the hall, aside from Fang Chang, all exclaimed in shock.
Given their experience, they could naturally tell that this formation had been set up within the academy long ago. Yet, for thousands of years, there had been no hint of its existence within the academy!
What was even more astonishing was that this student, who appeared to be no older than his twenties, could actually control this formation.
Judging by the soul power fluctuations emanating from the formation, even a Title Douluo would be completely suppressed within it, utterly powerless to resist. Could something like this really have been built by human hands?
Fang Chang's sneer deepened. "I don't know which unlucky descendant dared to rewrite the history of my Spider God Sect, even daring to change my name."
"But today, I'm going to correct this unhealthy trend in the Spider God Academy. Let's see which of you dares to stop me."
At first, he had worried that the historical alterations in the academy might be related to the Slime race. But now, after learning some information from Zhu Zhu, his approach naturally had to change.
If this matter was truly connected to the so-called "Tang Sect," then he needed to quickly uncover the mastermind behind it. Otherwise, it would remain like a thorn in his heart, making him deeply uncomfortable.
"Who exactly are you? How can you control the academy's grand formation?" The white-bearded elder, after all, was the most experienced and had already regained his composure.
"I am the Spider God you speak of," Fang Chang said, enunciating each word slowly, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
As he spoke, he transformed this avatar into his true form—a dark golden spider soul beast over ten meters long appeared in the hall, nearly filling the entire space.
This...
At the sight of this scene, the worldviews of those present instantly shattered.
The Spider God?
Wasn't the Spider God in the legends a certain Lord Slime? How had it become a giant spider?
But then again... the Spider God Sect... spiders... There did seem to be some logic to it.
They also recalled that in recent years, some unearthed artifacts from the Spider God Sect showed that people back then had also worshipped spiders.
This had even sparked some controversy, but in the end, under the interference of the Spider God Sect's higher-ups, the matter had been quietly dropped.
The more they thought about it, the more their long-held beliefs wavered, and they began to vaguely believe the words of this giant spider before them.
Due to the asymmetry of information, conspiracy theorists would always make up the majority of the world.
At this point, the hall fell into silence. The four instructors didn't know how to respond to Fang Chang, and Fang Chang simply stood there.
After reverting to his true form, his aura also underwent a change. Though not as vast as his main body, the pressure he exuded now far surpassed that of an ordinary Limit Douluo.
Fang Chang looked down at the four of them, the oppressive force amplified by the formation making it impossible for them to even consider resistance.
"Now, I'll ask questions, and you'll answer. If I find out you've hidden anything..." Fang Chang raised one of his razor-sharp spider legs, a glint of light flashing across it.
The four didn't dare make a sound—neither agreeing nor refusing. Fang Chang glanced at them and began his interrogation.
"Do you know of an organization called the Tang Sect?" He started with the question he cared about most.
The three teachers all shook their heads, indicating they had never heard of it. Only the white-bearded elder, a Title Douluo, hesitated before speaking slowly.
"I've heard a little about it." He seemed to be recalling something from the distant past. "Legend has it that among the first-generation elders of the Spider God Sect, there was one who came from this Tang Sect you speak of."
"They seemed to be exceptionally skilled in something called hidden weapons and once held some prominence on the continent."
"But later, after the Douluo Continent collided with the Sun Moon Continent, the latter brought more powerful soul tools, and the Tang Sect quickly faded into history. It's likely been thousands of years since they last appeared."
"Oh?" Fang Chang's eyes flickered slightly.
So, the rewriting of the Spider God Sect's history might also be connected to this Tang Sect.
Fang Chang carefully reviewed his memories again—who among those related to Tang San hadn't been completely eradicated?
But for the moment, he couldn't think of anyone.
The Clear Sky Sect and the four single-attribute clans had all been personally wiped out by him. The Shrek Academy had also been destroyed because of him. Almost everyone close to Tang San had been exterminated.
Who could have used his name to establish this Tang Sect?
And they could even craft hidden weapons—this was even stranger.
Could it be that Tang San, who had long since turned to fertilizer, had somehow come back to life?
"Next question—where is the headquarters of the current Spider God Sect?" Fang Chang asked again.
Back then, the Spider God Sect had been nothing more than a fabrication he used to deceive people. The branch churches across the land had all been donated by local wealthy families—there had never been a true headquarters.
If one had to name a headquarters, it would have been the Great Nest beneath the Star Dou Great Forest.
But now, the four in the hall answered in unison:
"In Sun Moon City."
"Hmm?" Fang Chang let out another sound of surprise.
Sun Moon City should have been the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. Why would they place the Spider God Sect's headquarters there?
After these two questions, Fang Chang pondered for a moment before asking his third:
"How strong is the Spider God Sect's current influence? How many Peak Douluos do they have?"
Given the power this avatar could wield, as long as he didn't encounter an opponent with strength surpassing a Peak Douluo, there would almost certainly be no danger.
The instructors exchanged glances.
This giant spider might really be the Spider God—to ask such a question right off the bat, as if Peak Douluos were nothing special in his eyes...
"Probably... maybe... one or two?" The middle-aged teacher who had been with Teacher Han answered uncertainly.
"Such matters are likely only known to the higher-ups of the Spider God Sect. We're just a nominally affiliated academy under them. In reality, by now, our interactions with them aren't that frequent."
"Based on the rumors circulating on the continent, the current sect master of the Spider God Sect, Lord Blood Sect, is likely one of the top experts in the world today. Presumably, he would be a Peak Douluo."
After hearing this, Fang Chang frowned.
The fact that the Spider God Sect only had this level of strength made him even more concerned.
Given that they had been able to block his perception, preventing him from noticing the changes in the Douluo Plane until now, there must undoubtedly be a god-level expert among them.
But under these circumstances, this suggested that the Spider God Sect was likely just a facade—someone else was truly pulling the strings behind it.
This was troublesome.
With an inward sigh, he planted divine sense marks on all four individuals in the hall to prevent them from speaking of today's events.
At the same time, as long as these marks remained, he could monitor them at any time to see if they were hiding anything else.
As for the matter involving Xu Sheng of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, it naturally ended anticlimactically. Even if the disciplinary office had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare trouble Fang Chang now.
