"Oh? There's a simulated training ground here?"
Mo Hui quickly arrived at Mo Hen's courtyard. Upon seeing the simulated training ground in the courtyard, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
According to Mo Hui's understanding, the courtyards where teachers resided did not have simulated training grounds, because all the teachers at Shenfeng Academy were wind-attribute Spirit Masters. For wind-attribute Spirit Masters, no simulated training ground was better than Hurricane Canyon.
Thus, the situation was clear: the simulated training ground within this courtyard must have been specially built by Shenfeng Academy for his uncle, as his uncle's Spirit was not wind-attribute, but a dual attribute of darkness and fire.
"Xiao Hui, when did you arrive?"
At this moment, Li Ya, who had walked out of the room, noticed Mo Hui and asked with some surprise.
Mo Hui looked over. Li Ya was holding a small baby girl in her arms, who bore a three-tenths resemblance to Mo Hen and Li Ya. She was clearly his cousin.
Mo Hui smiled slightly and greeted, "I just arrived. I came to see you all."
The next instant, Mo Hui flashed to Li Ya's front, touched the little girl's head, and softly asked, "Teacher Li Ya, what's this child's name?"
"Her name is Mo Yue, and she's four months old now," Li Ya replied while holding Mo Yue.
Mo Yue blinked her large eyes, looking at Mo Hui with curiosity.
Mo Hui smiled and said, "Mo Yue, a nice name."
Their uncle's first child was named Mo Ning, now over three years old, while Mo Yue was the second.
However, since Mo Ning was conceived before Mo Hen awakened his Spirit, the Spirit he would awaken would naturally not be Mo Hen's current Black Flame Crow, but rather a Black Feather Crow and Li Ya's bell.
It's worth mentioning that Li Ya's Spirit was called Wind Sound Bell, a medium-grade Spirit. If her innate spirit power hadn't been a bit low during awakening, Li Ya's potential would have been much higher than Mo Hen's.
Even so, with ample resource supply, Li Ya's spirit power level had now reached thirty-six. If she had stayed at Noding Academy, she could have competed for the director's position.
"You must be here to find your uncle this time. He's still cultivating. I'll go call him out now."
After chatting for a while, Li Ya spoke.
"No need, I'm already out."
Just as Li Ya turned to call Mo Hen, a figure appeared beside her. It was Mo Hen, who had finished his cultivation.
After a quick glance at Mo Hen, Mo Hui smiled and said, "Fiftieth level. Congratulations, Uncle, on breaking through to Spirit King."
"I haven't added a spirit ring yet, so I can't truly be considered a Spirit King," Mo Hen said modestly.
However, from Mo Hen's brows, one could still discern his excitement about this matter.
One must know that the highest-ranked individual in their Nuoding City was merely the old dean, who was a Spirit Ancestor.
Now, his cultivation had surpassed that old dean, an achievement he had never imagined before.
Mo Hui didn't expose him and continued to chat with Mo Hen for a while.
Half an hour later, Mo Hen asked Mo Hui with a hint of worry, "Xiao Hui, my eldest son will awaken his Spirit in a little over two years. What do you think I should do?"
Hearing this, Mo Hui pondered for a moment before replying, "In the future World, Spirit will no longer be the sole deciding factor. Even if my cousin awakens a Black Feather Crow, he can still become a powerful individual."
Then, Mo Hui smiled and said to Mo Hen, "Don't forget, Uncle, you were also just a Black Feather Crow before, weren't you? Who can say what the future holds?"
Is Spirit important? Of course, it's important. A powerful Spirit can save a person many detours. A powerful Spirit is simply stronger than a weaker Spirit. This is an objective fact, undeniable.
But Spirit is also not important. Take Mo Hui as an example: even if the Spirit he awakened wasn't Pidgeot, he could still become a powerful individual, though it might be a bit more difficult.
Of course, using Mo Hui as an example is a bit too niche and not universally applicable.
However, in the future World Mo Hui envisioned, the importance of Spirit was indeed greatly reduced. If someone had a firm will, even if their Spirit was poor, even an ordinary person could still become a powerful individual.
"Indeed, who can say what the future holds?"
Upon hearing Mo Hui's words, Mo Hen sighed with a smile and said.
Who could have imagined that his nephew, who had only three levels of innate spirit power, would now become such a young Spirit Douluo?
Just as he himself hadn't expected to break through to Spirit King in his lifetime, there are too many unpredictable events in this World.
Afterward, Mo Hui chatted with Mo Hen a bit more, gave him some cultivation resources, and then left Mo Hen's small courtyard.
Subsequently, Mo Hui arrived at the dean's office, knocked on the door, and walked in.
Pushing open the door, the sight inside made Mo Hui pause, then he let out a wry smile.
Because the person currently in the dean's office was not Feng Qingcang, nor Feng Xiaotian, but Feng Yi.
"Mo Hui, you're back?"
Upon seeing that the person who had arrived was Mo Hui, a hint of surprise flashed in Feng Yi's eyes. He quickly stood up and walked to Mo Hui's front.
"It's truly been a long time," Feng Yi said with some emotion.
Mo Hui smiled and said, "Yes, it really has been a long time. Teacher Feng Yi, you've also broken through to Spirit Saint."
He had heard that Feng Qingcang and Feng Xiaotian had pushed almost all the responsibilities onto Feng Yi, and combined with Feng Yi being a support system Spirit Master, cultivation was difficult. Being able to break through to Spirit Saint was truly a miracle.
"I had an opportunity."
Feng Yi waved his hand and said, "By the way, you must be here to see the dean. I've also heard about you establishing a force. Shenfeng Academy, this small place, indeed cannot accommodate a true dragon like you. It's right for you to establish your own force."
From ancient times to the present, no academy's strength had ever been heard to surpass that of the top major forces. Feng Yi had no doubt that if Mo Hui was willing to join Shenfeng Academy, then their Shenfeng Academy would surely grow into a colossal entity no less than the Three Sects, or even stronger.
But if that were the case, would they still be an academy?
The more people there are, the more resources are needed. If it's just an academy, it can get by on tuition fees and some sponsorships.
But if it were to become that large, the academy would inevitably need its own fixed income: rent collection, trade guilds, resource mines. If it had all of these, it would have already transformed from an academy dedicated to teaching and nurturing into a power, a Sect.
Feng Yi was essentially still a teacher. He did not wish for Shenfeng Academy to change its nature because of this. The current Sect forces, while called Sects, were essentially controlled by families. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not much better.
In Feng Yi's view, once it became a Sect, it was only a matter of time before it became a one-man show of a single family, which would violate the original intention of the academy's founding.
