Chapter 101: Planning the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Xiao Fei wandered around the school for a while, observing this group of adorable, carefree students (especially the girl from Tianshui). They were all diligently studying, practicing, and striving, free from external worries, hatred, and bloodshed.
The entire Douluo Continent now seemed to be a pure haven, save the Elemental Academy. The rest of the world seemed shrouded in the smoke of war, as everyone prepared for war.
A flash of enlightenment struck Xiao Fei. Perhaps this was what he had always sought: a sense of tranquility.
And to maintain this tranquility, one must possess absolute strength, a power that no one dared to challenge.
Xiao Fei returned to his dorm and began to carefully review the plot points of the original novel.
According to the original novel, the Shrek Seven trained on Sea God Island for a full four years. This meant that, according to the original novel, the Shrek Seven would return to the mainland nine months later. The time difference would be no more than two months. (They arrived three months later than Xiao Fei's group, completing their assessments in three and a half years.)
Also nine months later, Bibi Dong would launch a hunting operation, culminating in the sacrifice of Da Ming and Er Ming to Tang San. These two spirit rings are a perfect match for Tang San.
The Azure Bull Python's becomes the Blue Silver Emperor's ninth spirit ring, and the Titan Giant Ape becomes Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer's first spirit ring. These two spirit rings and soul bones are also the foundation for Tang San's battle against the Thousand-Strength Demon-Falling brothers.
However, Tang San's assessment has been delayed by Xiao Fei and his team for nine months, meaning it could take him about a year and a half to return. Based on Tang San's past luck, Bibi Dong's hunting mission will likely coincide with his return.
This means that if Xiao Fei plans to take on the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, it will take at least nine months and at most a year and a half. And if his plan succeeds, his relationship with Tang San will likely become hostile.
Xiao Fei isn't afraid of a feud with Tang San, but it seems Xiao Fei and his team are no match for the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python. Even if they win, they can only absorb one spirit ring, and the time between them simply doesn't allow for that.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Fei most wants to avoid the three brothers, Da Ming, Er Ming, and the Thousand-Strength Ant Emperor. These five spirit rings can increase his spirit power by at least five levels. It can allow Xiaofei to be promoted to level 98 or even level 99.
When Xiaofei was planning in his dormitory, countless people came to visit Xiaofei, but they were all declined.
A month later, Xiaofei has now reached the extreme level 93 and can break through at any time.
One day, a student suddenly came to inform Xiaofei and asked Xiaofei to go to the dean's office. Xiaofei thought about it and followed him. Normally, if there was nothing serious, the deans would not come to disturb Xiaofei.
When Xiaofei arrived at the dean's office, he saw that almost all the senior executives of the college were there, even Yang Wudi had come out of retreat.
There were five people sitting opposite, the leader of whom was the master Yu Xiaogang, and the other was an old man with green hair, who should be the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo in the original work.
Among the other three was a woman who had been seen in Yuexuan before. She was Xue Ke, the only princess of the Tiandou Empire.
The last two were a very tall figure, somewhat resembling a giant gorilla. He was probably Tai Tan, the legendary leader of the Power Clan. Next to him was a thin, white-haired old man, appearing quite plain. He was probably Bai He, the leader of the Min Clan.
Xiao Fei arrived at his seat and sat with the other deans.
He muttered to himself, "What's the point of the Tian Dou Empire? Did they send Tai Tan and Bai He specifically to win over Yang Wudi and Niu Gao?"
When Xiao Fei entered the room, the five people from the Tiandou Empire seemed to have their eyes fixed on him, as if he was the purpose of their visit.
Yu Xiaogang was in much better spirits than before, after all, he had been the Imperial Master for several years.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Dean Huo Tianchen smiled directly: "I wonder what brings Poison Douluo, National Master, and the Princess to my Elemental Academy? What's the matter?"
Yu Xiaogang said bluntly: "Deans, the five of us are visiting this time because of the Emperor's wish. His Majesty hopes that the Heaven Dou Empire and the Elemental Academy will form an alliance to jointly fight against the Spirit Empire."
Dean Huo Tianchen shook his head slightly: "Master National Master, I'm truly sorry. Our Elemental Academy has established a school rule since its inception that we will never participate in any struggles between forces. I can only apologize to His Majesty the Emperor."
Yu Xiaogang said solemnly: "Dean Huo, I know you don't want to participate in the sect struggle, but now that the Spirit Hall has become the Spirit Empire, as a citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire, each of us should serve the country. This is not a sect struggle."
"National Master Yu, for us at the Elemental Academy, whether it is the Spirit Hall or the Spirit Empire, it is the same. The war between the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Empire is a struggle for power to us."
"We're just running the academy. After graduation, no matter what choices our students make, we won't interfere."
Yu Xiaogang said angrily, "The students of the Elemental Academy are all members of the Heaven Dou Empire. They study in the Heaven Dou Empire. How can they just choose whatever they want after graduation? They should all serve the Empire."
"Master Yu, are you mistaken? Our Elemental Academy students come from all walks of life. There are both commoners and nobles. Some even come from the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire. We treat them all the same."
"In the eyes of all our teachers, they are just students, children. We have no reason to force them into battle; this is the very purpose of our Elemental Academy."
At this moment, Patriarch Titan, seated fourth, snorted coldly, "As the saying goes, 'All under heaven belongs to the king.' Since you are within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, you should respond to the call of the nation and serve it. Otherwise, what are you really considered citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Hearing Titan's words, the other deans couldn't help but laugh. "Patriarch Titan, since you mentioned the Heaven Dou Empire, does the Haotian Sect fall within that realm? Does it serve the nation? From what I understand, the Haotian Sect is far more powerful than our Elemental Academy, and it's also the sect where your Tang Sect's Patriarch, Tang San, resides. Patriarch Titan, please ask the Haotian Sect to serve the nation."
Titan was speechless. He didn't dare approach the Haotian Sect and ask them to serve the nation. He feared he would be beaten to death the moment he uttered the word.
As all high-level spirit masters knew, the concept of empire was viewed with disdain by the major sects and spirit master families. As for those with Titled Douluo, the Empire only sought to win them over, rarely suppressing those who were hostile, especially those without Titled Douluo, like the Heaven Dou Empire.
Haven't you seen how, when the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan were powerful, the Heaven Dou Empire never dared to order these two sects to serve the country? Instead, they mostly tried to win them over, and tried not to offend them unless necessary.
Douluo Continent is, after all, a world of immortal cultivation, where strength is everything, and Titled Douluo essentially represents the pinnacle of cultivation.
