In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 318 The Divided-Up Four Elements Academy (Part 1)

"There's still some time before the re-selection competition among the seven major sects. What are your plans then?"

Bibi Dong rested her arm on the table, propped her cheek on her hand, looked down at Wang Zhao, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao slightly opened his eyes and, through a "wonderful" gap, met Bibi Dong's gaze directly.

It must be said, the view from this location is truly stunning… Wang Zhao remarked that its beauty was beyond words. Of course, regardless of his inner thoughts, Wang Zhao was a man whose talent for “acting” was maxed out, and his gaze remained clear and lucid.

Simply put, it means innocent and naive.

"As for me, I will naturally seize the opportunity to officially let 'Li Ming, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall', take the stage."

Wang Zhao said.

"What should we do with the Lord of the Dragon King's Palace, 'Wang Zhao'?"

Bibi Dong blinked, looked at Wang Zhao and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek, her tone slightly teasing as she asked.

Bibi Dong's strength was not heavy; Wang Zhao could even feel the softness of her jade-like hands, so he did not resist without any backbone.

"Isn't the goal to have Wang Zhao and 'Li Ming' appear at the same time? I, the immortal, have a brilliant plan."

Wang Zhaoman said with ease.

"After all, I have long been prepared for this show that will be performed for the whole continent."

"Um……"

Bibi Dong looked at Wang Zhao's confident demeanor, a strange glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

That brat is really something.

When exactly did she begin to develop different feelings for him, and for what reason?

You know, Wang Zhao was someone she raised from a young age, well, although it seems like Die was the one who helped take care of him all along... But that's not important.

The important question is, does she have some little quirk that she herself is unaware of?

Oh right, she hadn't noticed it before, but now she did. It seemed that Wang Zhao, that brat, had developed some inappropriate thoughts about her, his teacher... After all, it had been Wang Zhao who had taken the initiative to flirt with her over the past few years. She didn't believe that Wang Zhao, at this age, would still be so ignorant and truly "innocent."

"Innocent and naive..." When this word popped into Bibi Dong's mind, she couldn't help but secretly spit on Wang Zhao.

It's all that brat's fault, he's so mean.

Bibi Dong's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but she didn't show anything unusual on her face. She just continued to chat with Wang Zhao casually.

A short while later, Wang Zhao suddenly asked, "By the way, Sister Dong'er, how is Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy, whom I recommended to you a few years ago, doing with his training?"

"You mean your little fanboy?"

"Uh... um."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao scratched his face with his fingers somewhat awkwardly, then nodded.

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and said, "After your guidance, his self-created soul skill, the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of Gale Wolf, has been completely perfected. A while ago, a mentor from the Martial Soul Academy mentioned to me that he was trying to improve the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of Gale Wolf into a Seventy-Two Consecutive Slash. He may even achieve a single-target attack soul skill similar to the Chaotic Cloak's Nine-Nine Return to One, which gathers power into a single strike. It should be quite powerful."

"I see. I'll go find him again later. My battle with Tang Hao not long ago gave me some insights."

Wang Zhao then asked again.

"By the way, is there any arrangement for the current commander of the Angel Legion, who was also the deputy commander when Ling Yuan was still in charge, to go to Feng Xiaotian and teach him the techniques used by the Angel Legion to deal with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect using the power of wind?"

"Yes, I remember everything you instructed me to do."

Bibi Dong said with a hint of doting affection.

"I really don't know what you're planning to do with all this planning."

Wang Zhao just smiled. Could he say that he wanted to see the future "Prince of Lanling" beat up "King of Tang"?

It turns out that during these six years...

With Wang Zhao's deliberate planning and Bibi Dong's support, the Spirit Hall secretly sent an elder to the Four Elements City to meet with the dean of the Divine Wind Academy. After a friendly exchange, the Divine Wind Academy became an independent academy that nominally did not participate in worldly disputes, but in reality, it accepted the Spirit Hall's resources and protection, and was required to provide the Spirit Hall with talent.

Simply put, apart from not changing its name to "Spirit Academy Shenfeng Branch", Shenfeng Academy is already in the shape of the Spirit Hall inside and out.

Later, under Wang Zhao's deliberate guidance, the news leaked out and was learned by the major powers on the mainland.

Of course, what the major powers learned was that Shenfeng Academy had "voluntarily" pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall. This sudden news undoubtedly caught Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and the others completely off guard.

It should be noted that although the Four Elements City is located within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is essentially an autonomous region with a high status. It is not directly governed by the Heaven Dou Empire and tends to have a cooperative relationship with it.

The reason why the Four Elements City was able to have this status was that when the Four Elements City was still the "Five Elements City," that is, before the Elephant Armor Academy and the Elephant Armor Sect withdrew from the Four Elements City and openly joined the Spirit Hall, the Wind, Fire, and Water elemental clans were closely united with the Elephant Armor Sect. In addition, there was the help of the Thunder Academy, which represented the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Its status was only below the Upper Three Sects and was even slightly higher than the Lower Four Sects.

Getting back to the original topic, even though the Elephant Armor Sect has now joined the Spirit Hall, the status of the Four Elements City, which is now only composed of the four elemental academies, remains unshaken. However, the fact that the Divine Wind Academy has also "secretly" sided with the Spirit Hall, just like the Elephant Armor Academy before, has made all the major forces restless.

As for the rumors that "Shenfeng Academy has voluntarily surrendered to the Spirit Hall," a smart person like Ning Fengzhi would naturally not believe them entirely. However, the matter was already settled, and no force in the world could snatch food from the Spirit Hall's jaws. Therefore, in the face of the Spirit Hall's undercurrents and major moves, they could only turn their attention to the remaining three academies in the Four Elements City.

Thunder Academy, needless to say, represents the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even the Spirit Hall has no reason to simply seize it.

Therefore, the remaining Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy naturally became like grasshoppers on a hot pan.

In order to avoid the fate of Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy following in the footsteps of Elephant Armor Academy and Divine Wind Academy, and because of the loss of Divine Wind Academy's strength and Thunder Academy's inaction under the instruction of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Skywater Academy and Blazing Fire Academy alone are no longer enough to maintain the Four Elements City's transcendent status in the Heaven Dou Empire.

The major powers joined forces to put pressure on the two academies and their respective clans.
