Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 286 Elemental Academy, Under My Protection

Ten days later, the temporary residences of the three academies: Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, and Divine Wind.

"The three deans, and the three senior colleagues, have you made your decision?"

Dean Flander of Shrek Academy, with his long, narrow face, stood at the door with a beaming smile, his tone revealing an undisguised smugness.

Standing beside him were Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo who gave him boundless confidence, and Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Behind them followed a number of people, including Flander's good buddy Zhao Wuji, his dream goddess Liu Erlong, his beloved disciple Ma Hongjun who is now as fat as a ball, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, who all look like they were made from the same mold, and Oscar, who looks the most normal among the group of men.

Standing opposite them were the administrators of the three academies: Shenfeng, Tianshui, and Chihuo. At the front were two elderly men with gray hair and beards and an old woman with a full head of silver hair. They were Huo Ao, the former dean of Chihuo Academy and grandfather of Huo Wushuang, who had a cultivation level of 85; Feng Qing, the former dean of Shenfeng Academy and grandfather of Feng Xiaotian, who also had a cultivation level of 85; and Shui Linglong, the former dean of Tianshui Academy and grandmother of Shui Bing'er, who had a cultivation level of 84.

Standing behind them were the current deans of the three academies: Huo Yang, the current dean of Blazing Fire Academy, father of Huo Wushuang and a cultivator at level 78; Feng Lin, the current dean of Divine Wind Academy, uncle of Feng Xiaotian and a cultivator at level 77; and Shui Qingwu, the current dean of Heavenly Water Academy, mother of Shui Bing'er and a cultivator at level 79.

Looking at the smug Flander in front of them, all six of them turned ashen-faced. If it weren't for the Bone Douluo standing to the side, they would have pounced on Flander and torn him to pieces.

Flander is absolutely shameless!

Although the Spirit Hall also considered annexing them, they at least retained the name of a branch school. Apart from the name of the academy changing and the addition of a higher-up to manage it, they could still make most of the decisions regarding the internal affairs of the academy.

Now Shrek's actions are preparing them to devour them whole, leaving not a single bone behind.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off following the Spirit Hall!

Dean Feng Lin of Shenfeng Academy couldn't help but think that, at least, the food served at the Spirit Hall was much more appealing than that served at Shrek Academy.

As for Huo Yang, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, he now wished he could slap himself. Why did he refuse his daughter's kindness in the first place? How could all these troublesome things have happened if he had followed his own son-in-law?

Seeing that no one spoke, Flander, whose thick skin was as thick as a fortress, continued with a forced smile: "These seniors are all elders whom Flander admires, and I have long admired the three deans as well. I really don't want things to escalate to an irreparable point!"

The six of them gasped simultaneously, their eyes filled with contempt and disgust as they looked at Flander. Just how thick-skinned did he have to be to say such shameless things?

"Flander, you don't need to say anything more!"

Huo Yang, who had a fiery temper just like his daughter, was the first to lose his temper. He barely managed to suppress his anger and yell at Flander, "Blazing Fire Academy is the culmination of generations of our Huo family's hard work. I will never allow it to be ruined in my hands!"

"good!"

Feng Lin and Shui Qingwu chimed in, "Dean Flander, if you sincerely wish to cooperate with our Elemental Academy, then you are our friend. But if you intend to dismantle and swallow up our major academies, severing the legacy passed down through generations, then we will have no choice but to fight to the death!"

Upon seeing this, Flander's face immediately hardened. He glanced at the three Soul Douluos standing in front of him and said, "Seniors, is this what you mean as well?"

Huo Ao, Feng Qing, and Shui Linglong ignored Flander. They were all over eighty years old, and in their eyes, Flander was just a junior. They didn't bother to bother with him.

All three men's gazes were fixed on the withered old man beside Flander: "Gu Rong, is your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really going to collude with this Shrek Academy and commit such a despicable act of annexing others' businesses!"

If it were Sword Douluo Chen Xin standing here today, given his temperament, he might feel ashamed in the face of the questioning from several Soul Douluos.

However, precisely because of this, Ning Fengzhi chose to send out Bone Douluo, who was slightly weaker. Bone Douluo was ruthless and had even considered killing Tang San, a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, one of the three upper sects. Let alone a few Soul Douluos he was not familiar with.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suffered heavy losses in the Soul Hunting Operation and now is the time when it urgently needs to replenish its strength. As long as this goal can be achieved, the means are secondary.

Bone Douluo's voice was icy: "Shrek Academy is a close partner of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Today, I am only helping Shrek Academy to protect its rightful interests. There is no despicable act of annexing others as you claim. If you dare to slander our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy again, hmph, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Huo Ao, Feng Qing, and Shui Linglong's expressions simultaneously turned cold: "Bone Douluo, if that's the case, then there's nothing more to discuss!"

Bone Douluo said sternly, "There was nothing to discuss to begin with; everything is based on the contract we all signed back then!"

"Martial Soul, Possess!"

Just as Bone Douluo finished speaking his last words, Huo Ao, Feng Qing, and Shui Linglong, knowing they had no way out, simultaneously released their martial souls, with eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—rising one after another from beneath their feet.

Their children standing behind them also released their martial spirits, two yellow, two purple, and three black, all six of them having the best spirit ring combinations.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Bone Douluo snorted coldly, and a strong layer of black light suddenly emanated from his body. Immediately afterwards, rings of light rose up from beneath his feet.

Nine spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, spiraled upwards, their powerful aura instantly overshadowing the equally powerful spirits of the six opponents.

Bone Douluo made the first move, his figure flashed, and in the next instant he appeared among the six people. His thin arm contained terrifying power, and he punched Feng Lin, the weakest of the six.

Feng Lin, who only possessed the strength of a high-level Soul Saint, was immediately sent flying backward, crashing into the wall behind him. The earthen wall collapsed with a deafening roar, burying him in a pile of ruins.

Just as Gu Rong was about to make another move, an extreme cold suddenly struck. Gu Rong sensed a deadly threat and almost instinctively dodged away. When he reappeared, his right arm was covered with a layer of ice.

"Elemental Academy is under my protection. Today, I'll see who dares to be insolent!"

At the same time, a domineering and majestic voice resounded throughout the world, striking the very souls of everyone present.
