Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Wang Teng and Elder Chen quickly steadied themselves and the three of them retreated a few steps, moving away from the tall city wall.

"Boom!"

The tremors grew stronger, and the surrounding crowd began to stir.

However, perhaps because the people here are so used to earthquakes, the scene didn't descend into complete chaos.

Although everyone quickened their pace, they still managed to evacuate to open areas in an orderly manner, with some taking cover and others avoiding danger.

"I never expected Blazing Fire Academy to be built in such an earthquake-prone area?"

Wang Teng steadied himself, his tone filled with surprise.

"It is because of the frequent earthquakes here that the underground magma is drawn out, forming those continuous active volcanoes."

Feng Xiaotian explained, "The southern part of the Ancient Lei Kingdom has many volcanoes and abundant fire-attribute energy. If not here, where else would the Blazing Fire Academy be built?"

"I see."

Wang Teng nodded, indicating that he understood.

"By the way, look to the south."

Feng Xiaotian pointed into the distance and said, "See that place over there where the smoke is coming from?"

Chapter 286 The Furious Huo Wushuang

Wang Teng looked in the direction Feng Xiaotian pointed.

In the far, far distance, amidst the mountains, smoke rose and obscured the sky.

Among them, the faint glow of firelight illuminated the horizon.

"I see, the forest is on fire?"

Wang Teng asked instinctively.

"What forest fire? That's the volcano cluster I was just talking about."

Feng Xiaotian laughed and proudly introduced it.

"so much?"

Wang Teng looked at the endless mountain range outline with some surprise.

"What's the big deal?"

Feng Xiaotian said with a hint of smugness, "From this distance, we can't even see one ten-thousandth of the volcanic cluster."

"If you actually got up close to it, that would be truly amazing."

"From what you're saying, you've been there?"

Wang Teng became interested and curiously pressed for more details.

"of course."

Once this topic came up, Feng Xiaotian started talking non-stop.

"Back when I was hunting for my second spirit ring, I was chasing a wind-attribute spirit beast. That guy was incredibly fast, and he dashed all the way into the volcanic field."

"In order to catch up with it, I gritted my teeth and followed it inside."

"You didn't see that scene. Deep inside the volcanic field, there was heat everywhere, and the sky was filled with smoke that blocked out the sun. It was like an apocalyptic disaster."

"That was the time..."

As Feng Xiaotian spoke, his tone suddenly became subtle, a hint of reminiscence appearing on his face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Was that the time you met Huo Wu?"

Seeing his expression, Wang Teng couldn't help but tease him.

"Ahem...more or less."

Feng Xiaotian coughed twice and touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

"Boom!"

The earthquake was still ongoing in the surrounding area, but the tremors were noticeably weakening.

"By the way, how long do earthquakes usually last?"

Wang Teng swayed around for a while, feeling a bit nauseous. It was his first time experiencing this, and he wasn't quite used to it.

"It'll be soon. Earthquakes come and go quickly; it won't be long."

Feng Xiaotian spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all.

As soon as he finished speaking, the vibration under his feet stopped completely.

"See, I told you so."

Feng Xiaotian said with a smile.

Then, Wang Teng nodded and looked around.

The crowd that had been hiding at the city gate were now starting to walk back.

Those who should enter the city should enter the city, and those who should leave the city should leave the city.

There was no panic on anyone's face, as if the earthquake had been nothing more than a gust of wind.

Clearly, the people here are used to it; earthquakes are commonplace for them.

"Let's go. Blazing Fire Academy is in the northeastern part of the city, not far from here."

Feng Xiaotian strode towards the city gate and said, "Go in through the north gate here, and you'll arrive in a short walk."

Wang Teng and Elder Chen followed behind Feng Xiaotian and stepped into the city located at the foot of a volcano.

The streets in the city were wider than I had imagined, and the architectural style on both sides was also different from that of Tiandou City. Most of the roofs were sloping and the walls were thick, presumably to cope with frequent earthquakes.

There were many pedestrians on the street, and the shops were open, showing no signs of the impact of the earthquake.

"This way."

Feng Xiaotian led the way with practiced ease, clearly familiar with the area.

As Wang Teng walked, he looked around, pondering how he should ask Dean Huo Yan about the Martial Soul Fusion Technique when he met him later.

Just as Feng Xiaotian said, Blazing Fire Academy is indeed very close to the North Gate.

The three of them hadn't walked far before they arrived at the gate of Blazing Fire Academy.

When Wang Teng got there, he realized that this was no ordinary academy gate.

The entire northeastern region of Flameheart City, along with a large area outside the city, has been incorporated into the campus of Blazing Fire Academy.

No wonder they arrived in just a few steps after entering the city.

This college basically occupies half of the city.

Before them stood a tall, imposing wall, not much smaller than the walls of Flameheart City.

The walls were entirely dark red. Wang Teng approached for a closer look and recognized that they were made from rocks deep within a volcano.

This type of stone can only be mined shortly after the volcano has extinguished. It is exceptionally hard and heat-resistant, making it an excellent material for building fire-attribute academies.

Wang Teng looked up at the high wall and was secretly amazed.

How many of these stones would have been needed to build the college?

Moreover, this thing can only be dug by a Soul Master from a volcano that has just been extinguished; ordinary people can't do it.

Because ordinary people simply cannot withstand the high temperatures of a volcano that has just been extinguished.

The three walked along the base of the wall and soon arrived at a huge iron gate.

The iron gate is over ten meters high and over ten meters wide, with a square shape that looks very imposing.

Above the gate hangs a plaque with four large characters written on it in a flamboyant style.

"Blazing Fire Academy!"

"Brother Feng, what you just said is not right."

Looking at the vast campus before him, Wang Teng couldn't help but joke, "This isn't just close; it practically swallows up the entire city!"

"Sigh, back when Blazing Fire Academy was first established, Flameheart City didn't even exist yet."

Feng Xiaotian smiled and explained, "Yanxin City was actually built little by little to make things easier for the academy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng nodded, already having guessed about 70-80% of what was going on.

This pattern is not uncommon in the Douluo Continent.

Whether it's the Heavenly Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, many academies are like this.

The college came first, then the city, and the city gradually developed around the college.

"Alright, alright, go in now."

Feng Xiaotian urged him on and started walking towards the gate.

"Just go straight in like this?"

Wang Teng asked somewhat uncertainly.

"What's the big deal? I've been here so many times, the guards at the gate and the teachers inside all know me pretty well."

"Just go straight in, no need to report."

As Feng Xiaotian spoke, he pushed open the door.

The guard at the gate turned his head and glanced at him. When he saw it was him, he didn't even stop him and let him in.

It seems Feng Xiaotian wasn't exaggerating; everyone here really does know him.

Just as Wang Teng was about to follow him inside, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Feng Xiaotian, you fucking dare to come here?!"

Wang Teng and Chen Lao turned around at the same time.

A young man in his twenties was seen running angrily toward them.
