Chapter 114: Dean Xiaofei's Era.
After playing in Tiandou City for over ten days, Xiaofei and his companions set out again for the Elemental Academy.
Arriving at the Elemental Academy, they felt a sense of homecoming.
In the Dean's office, Huo Tianchen, Feng Xuan, Niu Gao, Liu Ruyan, and Huo Lie sat together. Only Yang Wudi continued his retreat.
To Xiaofei's surprise, Niu Gao, Liu Ruyan, and Huo Lie were already Titled Douluo, and Yang Wudi was said to be just a hair's breadth away. Niu
Gao had taken Ten Thousand Years of Chinese Poria Cocos, Liu Ruyan had taken Ten Thousand Years of Water Lily, and the Earth Core Milk he had taken out last time, and their leveling was indeed normal. Huo Lie had taken the Vajra Arhat Fruit he had taken after the Soul Master Competition ten years prior, and the Ten Thousand Years of Earth Core Milk he had taken this time. This was the breakthrough from Soul Sage to Titled Douluo.
Hearing that Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang had both become Titled Douluo, each possessing a hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone, they were overjoyed. Dean Huo Tianchen, in particular, was practically in tears of joy.
Huo Lie was the only one with a sullen face. As a father, he felt a bit embarrassed to have his children break through to Titled Douluo before him.
According to the deans, they planned to wait until Yang Wudi reached Titled Douluo before heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings.
After discussing this, Xiao Fei returned to his dorm.
Xiao Fei had recently been concentrating on strengthening his realm and strength on his own. Although he had reached the peak of level 98, it was clear that he still couldn't unleash his full potential, let alone defeat foes of higher levels.
In the original novel, Titled Douluos reaching level 98 or 97 were very rare. It seemed only Golden Crocodile Douluo, Jian Dao Chen Xin, and Tang Xiao, plus a few minor characters from the Spirit Hall, were known to perform more naturally and were more powerful. Golden Crocodile Douluo, in particular, could easily bully several Titled Douluo-level warriors.
Xiao Fei planned to use the Qilin Arm more often and develop some punches or claws, otherwise it would be a waste of this god-level spirit.
As if suddenly struck by something, Xiao Fei excitedly ran to Gengjin Academy and went straight to Yang Pojun, asking him to teach him the Soul-Breaking Spear technique.
Yang Pojun was bewildered. Xiao Fei, a spirit master with a beast spirit, was learning the attack methods of a weapon spirit?
For the next month, Xiao Fei practiced the Soul-Breaking Spear technique daily with a large spear from the Poyi Clan.
The Soul-Breaking Spear technique consisted of nine moves, corresponding to the spear's eight spirit abilities, though the last move had never been mastered. They were Shock, Penetrate, Explode, Pierce, Break, Stop, Collapse, Evil, and Kill.
Xiao Fei seriously suspected these nine moves were related to the Nine Absolutes of Haotian, perhaps even improved upon by Tang Chen's guidance.
After a full month of study, Xiao Fei felt he had made some progress.
That same day, Yang Wudi emerged from seclusion, having finally achieved the status of Titled Douluo. This was the first Titled Douluo in the history of the Soul-Breaking Spear spirit.
Upon hearing that Xiao Fei was practicing the Soul-Breaking Spear technique, Yang Wudi, without a word, took up his spear and joined the fray himself. Both men used only spearmanship, without using their martial spirits or soul power, and with Xiaofei suppressing his realm, Xiaofei was beaten black and blue by Yang Wudi, his entire body aching. Red spots appeared on his body, the result of Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear.
Xiaofei seriously suspected Yang Wudi was taking advantage of the situation to seek revenge.
After practicing spearmanship, the two men made tea together. Someone had tipped Yang Wudi off. Hearing that Xiaofei had water from the Lake of Life, Yang Wudi demanded that Xiaofei use it to make tea as payment for his training. Yang Wudi even took away a significant amount of the water.
Consequently, several other deans came to Xiaofei to collect the water, leaving him with a heavy loss. Xiaofei angrily complained, "Your youngsters also went to the Lake of Life, but instead of taking their own, they come to me to steal some of the spoils."
After more than ten days of continuous fighting, Xiaofei's understanding of the Soul-Breaking Spear technique deepened, and he achieved some significant success in the art.
That day, Dean Huo Tianchen summoned everyone to his office. Judging from their serious expressions, they were probably planning to advance and set off to hunt spirit rings.
Huo Tianchen said to Xiao Fei kindly, "Xiao Fei, this time the six of us plan to go to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt spirit rings. By then, you will be the only dean of the academy, and the entire academy will be in your hands. If you have any questions, you can contact the deputy director of the department."
The other deans nodded, clearly planning this all along.
Before Xiao Fei could react, the six had already left the academy, with Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu also being taken away as guides.
Thus, for a short period, Xiao Fei was the sole (vice) dean of the Element Academy, ushering in Xiao Fei's era as dean.
Early the next morning, Xiao Fei was about to leave for marksmanship practice when a teacher stopped him and asked him to come to the dean's office.
Xiao Fei reluctantly followed the teacher to the dean's office, but upon entering, he was startled. The desk was piled high with documents, and the vice deans of the five departments were present. It was clear that all this paperwork belonged to Xiao Fei.
Reluctantly, Xiao Fei sat down in the dean's chair and picked up a document. It turned out to be a fight. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that two men, one from the Geng Metal Department and the other from the Xu Earth Department, had both set their sights on a beautiful woman from the Ke Tian Water Department.
Each had been pursuing her, and upon discovering that the other was also pursuing her, they were eager to express their feelings in front of the woman, and they exchanged sarcastic remarks, ultimately leading to a brawl that erupted into a fierce battle involving dozens of people.
Xiao Fei was speechless after reading the document. He wondered if there were such jealous fights in the fantasy world.
He thought, "This kind of fight seriously affects the image of our Elemental Academy. We should just expel both of them."
The deputy head of the department quickly said, "You absolutely can't handle it this way. These two students are highly respected among the students, and they're talented and have a strong background. It's normal for spirit masters to learn from each other. It's inappropriate to expel them hastily. Besides, there's also the issue of the Tianshui girl."
Xiao Fei was puzzled. "Isn't it just jealousy between the two? How could it be related to the Tianshui girl?"
The Tianshui deputy head of the department was a little embarrassed. "It seems the Tianshui girl has a crush on both of them, and they seem to be dating."
Xiao Fei was speechless again. There was actually a female Sea King in the Douluo World.
"Has Dean Huo Tianchen decided how to deal with this?"
"Dean Huo just felt it was difficult to handle, so he kept dragging it on until now. The matter involves students from three departments, and if it's not handled properly, it will cause conflicts between the students."
Xiao Fei was a little angry: "Can't you just keep dragging it on?"
"It can't be dragged on any longer. Now the parents of both sides want an explanation. And many students also have objections?"
Xiao Fei was speechless: How could he encounter such a thing?
Xiao Fei thought about it, and finally said: "How about this, set up an arena in the center of the college, and let Tianshui girls be the referees. The boys from both sides of the dispute will have a soul fight. The soul fight will last for three days, and they are not allowed to leave the arena until they have stayed in the arena for three days."
Several deputy department heads looked at each other: "Is this a suitable way to deal with it?"
Xiao Fei said angrily: "What's inappropriate about this? Since they like to fight, let them fight as much as they want. Especially that girl, let her watch the two of them fight. All three of them must stay in the arena for three days, and all the people in the college are allowed to watch, and they are not allowed to wear masks. Find a teacher from each department to supervise on the spot."
Xiao Fei picked up another file to be processed, and it was another student dispute issue, but this time it was about the choice of training venue. Xiao Fei picked up several files in a row, all of which were various conflicts between students, and they were all difficult to handle. Xiao Fei suddenly felt a headache.
