Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 283 The Clash of the Four Elemental Academies

Ning Feiliu, along with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, finally completed their mission of traveling throughout the northern border of the continent after two months.

He thus broke through one level of soul power again, reaching level sixty-nine, and obtained the remaining incomplete revival runes.

However, after obtaining this incomplete two-thirds of the Rejuvenation Rune, he thought about it and then gave it to Ye Lingling through a negative distance action.

After all, the incomplete resurrection rune was of little use to him, so it would be better to give it to Ye Lingling, who was a Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master.

In this way, Ye Lingling's healing soul skill was enhanced by a full two times, and when the target's health was below fifty percent, the healing effect could be quadrupled!

This is truly a qualitative increase.

After all, this is a multiplier effect. If the resurrection rune is given to Ning Feiliu himself, firstly, he does not have a healing soul skill.

Currently, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement effects are strength, speed, attack, defense, mental power, and soul power.

Because the fifth spirit ring is a spirit beast called the Demon Eye Tree, the fifth spirit skill of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda naturally amplifies mental power.

Corresponding to the primordial power of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda of the Folding Mirror, one can freely choose whether it is a purification amplification, a mental amplification, or a healing soul skill.

However, the power of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, which corresponds to the power of the Broken King Sword, can only be an amplification of soul power.

Therefore, giving Ning Feiliu this incomplete resurrection rune only increased the "blood-absorbing" effect of his Soul Severing Skill and his own life force recovery ability.

That would be a bit of a waste.

It would be better to give it to Ye Lingling, since Ye Lingling is now his woman.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu gave this incomplete revival rune to Ye Lingling.

Then they continued on their journey without stopping much along the way, and finally arrived at Tianshui City.

"This is Tianshui City, no doubt about it." Ning Feiliu nodded with a smile.

Although it has been more than two years since I left Tianshui City, it has remained unchanged when I saw it again.

Unlike the rapid development of modern cities, towns in the Douluo Continent era may not change much for decades or even centuries.

Unless something major happens that necessitates rebuilding the city walls.

For example, the city walls were severely damaged during a major battle.

The Douluo Continent will be peaceful for a long time now; it won't descend into chaos for at least ten years.

However, even if war breaks out on the Douluo Continent in the future, Tianshui City, located in the rear of the Tiandou Empire, is likely to remain unaffected.

Most likely, after the Spirit Hall was defeated, they acted as if nothing had happened.

Being in the rear has its advantages.

Even when the Martial Soul Empire later displayed its might and defeated the Heaven Dou Empire, fighting all the way to Heaven Dou City, it didn't cause any trouble here.

"Bing'er and Yue'er should have received my letter by now," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"Then let's hurry up and go see them," Dugu Yan said impatiently.

Ye Lingling was also curious about what kind of girls Ning Feiliu was that could make him make up his mind to confess to Dugu Yan that he could not abandon them.

"Alright, let's go straight in, then we'll go to my old residence in Tianshui City to tidy up first, and then go to Tianshui Academy to see Bing'er and Yue'er," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

He had previously bought a property in Tianshui City that was not small, but not extravagant either; that's one of the advantages of being rich.

Even if she didn't live here often, Ning Feiliu could have easily bought a property back then with her wealth.

To some extent, if Ning Feiliu wanted, he could own a property in every town within the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Let's go see Bing'er and Yue'er directly. We can get back and sort things out later. We can even have dinner together tonight," Dugu Yan said with a grin.

"Well... alright then." Ning Feiliu didn't have any objections, and nodded as she spoke.

So they entered Tianshui City together, and after passing through, they headed straight for Tianshui Academy.

……

Meanwhile, the three major academies of Divine Wind, Thunder, and Blazing Fire have also arrived at Tianshui Academy.

After the announcement, Leng Hanxue personally led a group of teachers, along with Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and other members of the Tianshui Academy team, to welcome the three elemental academies.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er followed closely behind Leng Hanxue and met the official team members of the three academies.

"Welcome everyone," said Leng Hanxue, Dean of Tianshui Academy, with a smile to the teachers and students from the three elemental academies.

"Dean Leng, it's been a long time! You're still as dashing as ever. This junior, Lei Qian, greets Dean Leng!" Lei Qian said casually, yet with a hint of respect.

Leng Hanxue was a well-established expert, stronger than Lei Qian, and also Lei Qian's elder, so he naturally respected her more.

"Teacher Lei, you flatter me. It is Thunder Academy that truly lives up to its reputation. Everyone here still looks strong and powerful, each one a genius and hero," Leng Hanxue said with a smile.

She didn't really have any impression of Lei Qian, so the conversation was quite polite.

"Gerald from Shenfeng Academy greets Dean Leng," Gerald said respectfully to Leng Hanxue.

"Yes, Mr. Jie, you've worked hard too. Let's bring the students over for a cup of tea later," Leng Hanxue said with a smile.

Only Huo Lingfei from Blazing Fire Academy remained, but just then...

"Xiao Fei, you're leading the team this time." Leng Hanxue looked at Huo Lingfei with a friendly expression and said with a smile.

"Teacher Leng... could you please stop calling me that?" Huo Lingfei said helplessly.

But he was clearly very close to Leng Hanxue, and there were naturally some things about this that were unknown to others.

It was only because Huo Lingfei abducted a member of that generation from Tianshui Academy, and at that time Leng Hanxue was not yet the dean of Tianshui Academy, but that member's closest teacher, and could even be considered half a mother.

Therefore, Leng Hanxue can be considered Huo Lingfei's half-mother-in-law...

Their relationship was certainly closer.

"Let's go inside and talk," Leng Hanxue said with a smile.

Then, the group from Tianshui Academy, along with the teachers and students from the three elemental academies who had come to visit, entered the academy.

At this point, the students also began to look at each other.

"Those two girls must be the two peerless geniuses from Tianshui Academy who have already broken through to the Soul Master realm..." Feng Xiaotian was not among the team members of Shenfeng Academy, but instead mingled with the team members of Chihuo Academy.

After all... it's common knowledge that he likes Huo Wu.

However, according to the original storyline, Huo Wu didn't actually like him that much.

Even Huo Wu seemed a bit teasing. After being defeated by Tang San, she kissed him, which made Feng Xiaotian jealous of Tang San and challenge him.

Later, he joined forces with Feng Xiaotian—or rather, with the other three major elemental academies—with the sole purpose of… admitting defeat to the Spirit Hall Academy and defeating Shrek Academy, where Tang San was located?

Honestly, the Four Elements Academy's actions in the original storyline were very confusing. They exploited loopholes in the rules of the Soul Master Competition and formed a group of top players, all just to get a runner-up position?

That's really embarrassing.

However, they might think that losing to the Spirit Hall, which has three Soul Kings and has won the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament three times in a row, is not shameful.

They might even consider second place an honor.

Just as some people think that reaching the semi-finals is a success, and reaching the top nine is better than staying at home.

Without a doubt, the fact that the Four Elements Academy's top members banded together for the sake of a runner-up in the original storyline means that Huo Wu was the mastermind behind it.

She also took advantage of Feng Xiaotian's infatuation with her.

It can be said that the pitiful Feng Xiaotian was completely manipulated by Huo Wu.

What about Huo Wu versus Feng Xiaotian?

Firstly, considering that she developed feelings for Tang San after being defeated by him, it's clear that she likes people who are stronger than her, and even more so, people who are more assertive.

Feng Xiaotian is very strong, but his attitude towards Huo Wu is too humble.

Therefore, Huo Wu's attitude towards Feng Xiaotian can only be described as having some goodwill, but not quite liking him.

At the same time, she disliked Feng Xiaotian's unrestrained attitude.

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian clung to her again, and she frowned. However, looking at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er from Tianshui Academy, she said, "It should be them, but I think I've seen them before. I don't recall ever hearing that they were this powerful before. How could they have become so powerful in just a few years..."

The Four Elements Academy has not completely cut off contact over the years; such academic discussions have actually been conducted before.

So they had been in contact with him before, but had never heard of such a genius Soul Master.

That's a bit strange.

If they were new students recruited in the last few years, that would be fine, but it seems that Huo Wu had already met Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er during the previous exchanges between Chi Huo Academy and Tian Shui Academy.

They didn't seem to be performing very well at the time...

"Did they suddenly have an epiphany in the last two years?" Huo Yu, one of the twins, asked curiously. "Maybe it's because their family is so wealthy that they ate a Mystic Water Pill?"

"I also took that Profound Water Pill, hehe, it is indeed very effective, but I have only just broken through to the Soul Sect level." Feng Xiaotian chuckled, shook his head, and said.

Because Shenfeng Academy valued him highly, his teacher, the Dean of Shenfeng Academy, spared no expense and even asked a direct descendant elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who had once owed him a favor, in order to purchase a Xuan Shui Pill.

Then they gave it to him, which is why he was able to break through to the Soul Sect realm so quickly.

According to the original storyline, he only had level 44 soul power at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament two years later.

He already has level 41 soul power. At his current cultivation speed, he will definitely have at least level 46 or 47 soul power in two years.

Even so, he is not as powerful as Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, who are currently at level 47 and 45 in soul power respectively.

He didn't even know that Shui Bing'er was actually at level 48 in terms of soul power.

After all, news is subject to delays, and they are unaware of this matter yet.

Even so, this kind of soul power improvement that directly leads everyone by seven or eight levels is still very unbelievable.

Because of the improvement that Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er achieved, it was indeed not just because of one Xuan Shui Pill.

They also each consumed a magical herb and a cultivation technique called Moon Essence Breathing Method to increase their cultivation speed.

Just as Feng Xiaotian and the others were wondering why Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were improving so quickly.

Yu Tianxin from Thunder Academy looked at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er with even more curiosity.

He broke through to the Soul Sect level before he was even twenty years old?

Moreover, one has a soul power of level 47 and the other has a soul power of level 45.

This reminded Yu Tianxin of Ning Feiliu, the peerless genius of Tiandou City who was practically invincible.

Thinking of Ning Feiliu, and then looking at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

For some reason... he felt that Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's auras were somewhat familiar.

The group arrived at the training grounds of Tianshui Academy. After receiving some hospitality, they were greeted with the main focus of this academic discussion at the Four Elements Academy.

"I invited you all here today so that my students could have a friendly competition..." Leng Hanxue said with a smile, looking at Lei Qian, Gerald, and Huo Lingfei. "What do you think?"

"I have no problem with that. It's a good opportunity for them to compete against each other and test their own abilities," Huo Lingfei said with a smile.

"We're fine with it too." Lei Qian and Gerald were of course fine with it as well.

"In that case, why don't we arrange a personal competition?" Leng Hanxue said with a slight smile.

They quickly arranged a competition format similar to a ring battle. Tianshui Academy, as the host, sent out its students to defend the arena first, and then students from the three elemental academies of Blazing Fire, Thunder, and Divine Wind were sent out to challenge the arena in turn.

The one who stands in the ring until no one challenges them is considered the winner.

This sparked a competitive spirit among the four elemental academies, and the students immediately began to clash.

Tianshui Academy sent its first team to defend the title, with Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, and other members of the Tianshui Academy team taking turns on stage.

Since Xue Wu is a support-type Soul Master, the support-type Soul Masters of the four elemental academies naturally do not need to participate in this kind of individual attack and defense arena challenge.

Therefore, before Shui Yue'er appeared, only Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, Yu Hairou, and Qiu Ruoshui took the stage.

However, it should be noted that although they did not obtain the immortal herb, they did consume the Mysterious Water Pill and receive the Moon Essence Breathing Technique to increase their cultivation speed.

So over the years, apart from Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, they have also made considerable progress.

Xue Wu and Shen Liuyu had just broken through to the Soul Master realm not long ago!

Although the remaining three had not broken through to the Soul Master realm, they still possessed soul power of level thirty-eight or higher.

Their performance was outstanding in this academic competition between the four elemental academies.

until……

"Fourth Soul Skill! Berserker Wolf Claw!"

Feng Xiaotian flicked out three sharp blades, each about a foot and a half long, from between his finger bones. A phantom wolf-shaped light and shadow appeared behind him. He then spread his hands to the left and right, and a nearly ten-foot-long cyan light burst forth from the six blades!

Then, after a series of battles with Yu Tianxin and Huo Wushuang, Shen Liuyu was knocked down and forced to leave the training ground.

"I lost." Shen Liuyu said with a sigh, showing no resentment.
