Chapter 189: Concept of Creating a Power
Afterward, Mu Hui sat down beneath the Wind God Tree, gently stroking Pidgeot while waiting for Feng Qingcang and Feng Xiaotian to return.
A few hours later—
"Hahaha! Mu Hui, guess what level I am now!"
Feng Xiaotian shot up from underground and grinned widely as he called out to Mu Hui.
Before Mu Hui could answer, Feng Xiaotian impatiently declared, "Level 65! In just this short time, I gained over two levels!"
Feng Xiaotian had just celebrated his 27th birthday, and reaching level 65 at this age was indeed fast progress.
After all, Qin Ming of Heaven Dou Royal Academy only reached level 62 at age 34, and that was already considered impressive by Yu Tianheng and others.
This shows that even reaching the Soul Emperor level at age 34 was regarded as a major accomplishment among top talents.
At this moment, Feng Qingcang also flew up from the cave. Seeing Feng Xiaotian's smug face, he rolled his eyes and said, "What's there to be proud of? Haven't you noticed you can't even sense Mu Hui's cultivation anymore?"
Hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's smile froze, and he muttered irritably, "How is that fair? He was already a Soul King at fifteen! Who can even compare to that?"
Generally, a Soul Master who reaches Soul Sect before the age of twenty is considered a top-tier genius.
In the original work, most team captains and vice-captains of advanced Soul Master academies were around this level.
Those who became Soul Kings in their early twenties—like the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall—were considered geniuses among geniuses.
And this was during the early stage of Douluo Continent, where many training methods were still primitive. It's not like the more mature systems of later eras.
But Mu Hui—an eighteen-year-old Soul Douluo—simply defied all comparison. His cultivation speed had already surpassed the realm of natural talent.
At the same time, Mu Hui glanced at Feng Qingcang and thought to himself: "Level 88—already so close to Title Douluo."
Mu Hui clearly remembered that before entering the ruins, Feng Qingcang had been at level 87. Now, after absorbing the residual wind energy, he had broken through again.
"Dean," Mu Hui said aloud, "how many resources can the Divine Wind Academy mobilize? Is it possible to build another branch?"
"Mu Hui? What do you mean?" Feng Qingcang blinked in surprise.
Mu Hui pointed to the towering tree ahead. "Look."
Following Mu Hui's finger, Feng Qingcang and Feng Xiaotian turned to gaze at the Wind God Tree, and their eyes instantly widened in shock.
"I named this the Wind God Tree," Mu Hui explained. "It's a wind-attributed natural treasure. While it's on the lower end of natural treasures, its value is still immense due to its sheer size."
He continued, "And it's not just the tree. The plants around it have started mutating from the light column earlier. With proper cultivation, some of them might also evolve into natural treasures. But unfortunately, I don't have time to take care of them."
"So... you mean—" Feng Qingcang's breathing grew heavy as he looked at Mu Hui with anticipation.
"If the Divine Wind Academy is capable," Mu Hui said, "you can build a branch here to protect this area. It'll also serve as a great training ground."
"We can definitely do that." Feng Qingcang agreed without hesitation.
Mu Hui nodded. "In that case, I'll leave this place in your care."
"Mu Hui… aren't you being too casual about giving this away? Even if it's of lower level, the Wind God Tree should still be useful to you, right?" Feng Xiaotian asked, puzzled.
Ever since he consumed the top-grade Windstar Grass, Feng Xiaotian had become deeply attracted to such natural treasures.
That tiny blade of grass had saved him months of cultivation. A towering tree like this would surely bring immense benefit.
"Exactly," Feng Qingcang added. "You discovered this place first. It should rightfully belong to you."
But Mu Hui shook his head and smiled. "Honestly, I had thought about creating my own faction here to pass on what I've learned, but I simply don't have the time or energy right now. That's why I'm entrusting it to you—this is probably the best option."
Feng Qingcang paused for a moment, then asked, "What kind of force were you thinking of creating?"
Mu Hui thought it over and said, "It'd be like an academy—but with more open entry criteria. Instead of status or background, I'd value a person's actual ability."
"In that case…" Feng Qingcang took a deep breath and said, "You shouldn't start your force somewhere else—do it here. I'll build a new headquarters for you, centered around the Wind God Tree. What do you think?"
Mu Hui's eyes lit up. "That works. Thank you, Dean! Let me know what resources you need. I might not have enough funding right now, but I won't let the Divine Wind Academy bear the cost alone."
Establishing a force around the Wind God Tree would be ideal.
After all, most of Mu Hui's soul skills were wind-based. With the Wind God Tree within and Hurricane Canyon nearby, future students of the faction would undoubtedly cultivate quickly.
"There's no need to worry about resources," Feng Qingcang said, shaking his head. He looked at Mu Hui and continued, "If possible, I just have one request."
"Go ahead, Dean." Mu Hui reached out his hand.
"I hope you'll grant the Divine Wind Academy a few student placements in your faction every year. I believe our students could grow even faster here."
Mu Hui laughed lightly. "I thought it'd be something more serious! Of course, that's no problem. Just let me know when the time comes."
To Mu Hui, a few placements were nothing. As long as the students weren't hopeless cases, he was happy to teach anyone. And students chosen by Feng Qingcang would no doubt be talented.
Seeing Mu Hui agree so readily, Feng Qingcang smiled with relief. With Mu Hui's teaching, those students could reach even greater heights—and so could the Divine Wind Academy.
