Chapter 154: September 8th Level, Feng Qingcang's Exclamation
"I didn't expect I'd return to Divine Wind Academy so soon."
Hovering above Divine Wind Academy, Mo Hui looked down at the familiar scenery, a hint of nostalgia flickering in his heart.
It had only been nine months since he left.
Yet in those nine months, his strength had undergone a complete transformation. Not only had his soul power increased by eight levels, but he had also significantly improved several of his self-created soul skills, and even created two new ones.
Now, in terms of actual combat strength, Mo Hui was not inferior to an ordinary Titled Douluo. In fact, considering his extreme speed, Mo Hui could even suppress such opponents in short engagements. After all—
Unless someone had a heaven-defying soul skill or absolute crushing strength, there was no effective way to fight Mo Hui.
He could simply strike hard and retreat, ascend into the sky using Delta Airflow to quickly recover soul power, then circle back for another round.
> Chase me? Sure—do you want to fly 30,000 meters up or sprint across a thousand kilometers in ten minutes?
These feats were beyond the reach of even level 98–99 Titled Douluo, let alone average ones.
Technically, Mo Hui could've bypassed everything and gone straight into Hurricane Canyon to explore. Once he activated his state of unity with nature, not even the academy could detect him.
However, this was Divine Wind Academy's core sacred zone. Mo Hui wasn't sure how his actions might disrupt the Hurricane Canyon, so he decided to inform Feng Qingcang first.

In the core area of Hurricane Canyon, Feng Qingcang was meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes, sensing something unusual.
> "Who's there? Why not come out and show yourself?"
> "Dean, it's me!"
From the distance, Mo Hui and Pidgeot emerged from behind a large boulder.
Seeing them, Feng Qingcang was momentarily stunned. Then, surprise flashed in his eyes.
> "Mo Hui? When did you return?"
> "Just now. I came because I have something important to discuss with you, Dean."
Mo Hui approached quickly, smiling as he spoke.
Feng Qingcang nodded in understanding—no wonder the kid came straight here.
But then, Feng Qingcang's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
He could feel the immense soul power radiating from Mo Hui's body.
> "Mo Hui... you've reached level 68?! How is that possible!?"
Indeed, it had only been just over nine months since Mo Hui left the academy. For most soul masters, that wasn't enough time to gain even one level, let alone eight.
> "I had a little adventure," Mo Hui said with a calm smile.
> "Hiss—!"
Feng Qingcang sucked in a sharp breath. So it was true. Mo Hui had actually gone up eight levels!
After a long pause, he sighed.
> "It seems your decision to leave the academy was the right one. If you'd stayed, you wouldn't have advanced so fast."
Though Mo Hui's cultivation speed had always been impressive, progressing into the Soul Emperor realm was a different story. Even gaining three levels a year would've been remarkable.
But eight levels in nine months? That was far beyond what normal training could achieve.
As he pondered this, Feng Qingcang felt a mix of emotion.
When he first met Mo Hui, he himself had just reached Soul Saint level 79, while Mo Hui had only just broken through to Soul Venerable.
Now, even though Feng Qingcang had advanced to level 83 Soul Douluo, compared to Mo Hui...
> "He's grown by 37 levels since I met him. And he's not even 17 yet…"
> What level was I at that age? Around level 35, wasn't it?
Feng Qingcang had once been considered a top genius, representing his generation in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament and even winning third place as a vice-captain.
He used to be proud of that.
But after meeting Mo Hui and seeing his miraculous growth, those past achievements now seemed insignificant.
After a moment of silence, he asked:
> "So, tell me, Mo Hui. What did you come back to Divine Wind Academy for?"
> "I want to explore the uninhabited area of Hurricane Canyon!"
> "What!?"
Feng Qingcang was shocked again.
The "uninhabited area" referred to the region beyond the regular training zones of the canyon—territory even the academy had never fully explored.
Although the canyon was officially divided into edge, outer, inner, and core areas, there was a deeper region, untouched and dangerous.
They hadn't avoided it by choice—it was the limit of their capabilities.
Beyond that point, the winds became lethally violent, some wind blades strong enough to match full-force Soul Emperors or Soul Saints. Even Soul Douluo could not remain there for long.
Feng Qingcang frowned.
> "Why would you want to go there? I've entered that zone several times myself using the Wind-Fixing Beads, but found nothing. Even if you have one, it won't help you much."
> "I can't explain the details, but this involves my future. I have to go."
Mo Hui's tone was firm.
> "The reason I came to you first is that I'm worried my presence might cause unexpected changes in the canyon. So I hope you can temporarily clear the students out—at least until I return."
Seeing his sincerity, Feng Qingcang's expression turned serious. He nodded solemnly.
> "Understood. I'll find a reason to withdraw the students. But Mo Hui—please be careful. You're still young. Don't throw your life away."
> "No need to worry, Dean. With Pidgeot by my side, very few in this world can threaten my life."
Mo Hui smiled, mounted Pidgeot, and dove down into the depths of Hurricane Canyon.
Feng Qingcang watched them disappear into the canyon's whirlwinds and sighed deeply.
> "The uninhabited region… it's too dangerous. I hope he returns safely."
He turned and quickly sent a signal to the teachers to evacuate the students from Hurricane Canyon immediately.
