Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

Upon arriving on the first floor, Chen Feng and his companions were just about to find a place to sit down and wait for others when they saw a handsome young man dressed in a white outfit and wearing a black cloak walk in from outside.

"Brother Su!" Chen Feng quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Oh, it's Xiaofeng. You've come to Nottingham City to study?" Su Yuntao reached out and patted Chenfeng's head, asking.

"Yes, we just started school today. I have to thank Brother Su for getting me a work-study spot, which saved me a lot of tuition fees," Chen Feng said.

"That's nothing. With your talent, if you wanted to go to the Spirit Hall's primary academy, the conditions would definitely be better than this." Su Yuntao seized the opportunity to promote the Spirit Hall.

"Haha, let's not talk about that for now. Brother Su, are you busy right now?" Chen Feng dodged Su Yuntao's attempt to win him over with a Tai Chi move.

“I just finished some business, I’m not busy. Are you going to go soul hunting now?” Su Yuntao looked at the three children and guessed.

"You have to admit Brother Su is brilliant; he guessed right every time." Chen Feng gave Old Su a thumbs up.

"Don't try to sweet-talk me, I'm not falling for that. Are you guys going to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest?" Su Yuntao said, but the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress betrayed him.

“No, we’re going to the Sand Gold Valley,” Chen Feng said, shaking his head.

“Golden Sand Valley, that’s fine too. It’s not too far. I’ll go ask Master Matthew for leave. The martial spirit awakening in the villages around Notting City has been completed. There’s nothing important going on recently, so he should approve my leave.” After saying that, Su Yuntao went upstairs to ask Matthew for leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. For the commoner soul masters of the entire Douluo Continent, the positive role played by the Spirit Hall was indeed undeniable.

But as the saying goes, no royal power lasts forever.

After so many years of development, the problems of the Spirit Hall cannot be ignored.

If there had been a wise and decisive leader at that time, the Spirit Hall might have been able to complete its transformation and unify the entire continent.

Unfortunately... the current Pope of the Spirit Hall is a crazy woman. If we don't get rid of her, the future of the Spirit Hall is destined to be bleak.

In Chen Feng's view, no one in the Spirit Hall is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of turning the tide.

Qian Daoliu is single-mindedly focused on the inheritance of the Angel God's position. Not to mention Bibi Dong, the destruction of the Spirit Hall might be what she actually wants to see.

As for Qian Renxue, a peerless genius with a level 20 innate soul power, she went to the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out some kind of substitution plan, and her strength has not improved at all in all these years.

Later, after Tang San exposed her scheme in the palace, she actually ran away. Her years-long plan was ruined by a few words from an outsider.

What astonishing wisdom this is!

Why is this girl so honest? She just accepted it when people said she was fake?

As a politician, isn't blatant lying a basic quality? Even falsehoods must be presented as truth!

Some people dare to claim a bag of laundry detergent is a chemical weapon. Only those with that kind of naiveté are qualified politicians. Qian Renxue is far too inexperienced.

Why didn't you just define Tang San as a traitor back then, launch a coup to kill Lao Deng, and then take the throne?

Or you could hold up Avalanche's head and force Old Deng to abdicate.

Having been the crown prince for so many years, yet not daring to rebel, what kind of crown prince are you? You're not even as good as Liu Ju.

She actually accepted Tang San's accusations without hesitation, fought him, and then ran away. All her years of planning went down the drain, and her strength didn't grow at all.

The watermelon is gone, and so are the sesame seeds.

It's all about abstraction, and it's clear that the person doesn't have much of a brain.

If this naive girl met Chen Feng, she might be tricked into having ten children without even realizing it.

Unfortunately, this Soul Master organization, which had been passed down for many years and had a positive impact on the continent, failed to have a qualified leader at such a critical moment, leading to its instant collapse and turning the entire Douluo Continent into the Tang Family Continent.

"Sigh..." Chen Feng sighed deeply.

"Why did you suddenly sigh?" Xiao Wu asked curiously from the side.

“You’re too young, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you,” Chen Feng said with a deep expression.

"You!" Xiao Wu clenched her fists, wishing she could beat Chen Feng up.

"Calm down, calm down!" Tang San, who had been silent until now, immediately pulled Xiao Wu back from her outburst as if by reflex.

"Xiaofeng, stop making her angry all the time."

Chen Feng looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were pulling and tugging at each other, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

From the moment he entered the Spirit Hall, Tang San remained silent, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood. He was probably pondering the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the death of his mother.

Now that Chen Feng had interrupted, Tang San's attention was immediately diverted.

However, this is not a long-term solution; we still need to find an opportunity to make Tang San clearly identify his target of hatred.

At the very least, we should avoid escalating the conflict and instead unite the majority while targeting only a small minority.

After all, most of the people in the Spirit Hall are just working people, and there's no reason for them to be dragged into the struggle of these Celestial Dragons.

Logically speaking, since Qian Xunji, who killed the Blue Silver Emperor, was already dead, Tang San's true enemy was gone.

But Tang San probably wouldn't think that way. Now that his mother's killer is gone, he'll probably go after the person who betrayed him.

If something else happens during this time that escalates the conflict, Tang San might then come to hate the entire Spirit Hall.

Then the world will revert to the path of the original story, which is something Chen Feng doesn't want to see.

What he wanted was to purify the Spirit Hall organization so that it could better fulfill its responsibilities.

Such a thing is very difficult to accomplish within the Spirit Hall, because once you enter, you will be firmly entangled by its intricate factions, making it extremely difficult to do anything else.

The best solution is to place a useful pawn inside the Spirit Hall and then stay outside to control it remotely.

This allows one to both attack and defend, thus ensuring invincibility.

Just as Chen Feng was pondering his plan to deal with the Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao had already taken leave and returned to the first floor.

"Let's go, the carriage is ready, we can set off now."

Upon arriving outside the Spirit Hall, Chen Feng saw a carriage bearing the Spirit Hall's insignia parked not far away.

The carriage was quite large; it could comfortably seat three or four adults.

Chen Feng looked at Su Yuntao and said:

"Brother Su, could you come with us to pick someone up? He's a teacher at our college and he wants to go to the Sand Gold Valley with us."

"Oh? Is there anyone else? Okay then." Su Yuntao nodded and said to the driver.

Once Su Yuntao, Chen Feng, and the other two children had climbed onto the carriage, it slowly started moving and headed towards Notting Academy.

Chapter 16 An Encounter in the Sand Gold City

Upon arriving at the entrance of Notting College, the master was already waiting there.

When he saw the carriage bearing the Spirit Hall's insignia approaching, his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Master, get in the carriage quickly, we're about to depart." Chen Feng leaned out of the carriage window and waved.

The master nodded and boarded the carriage.

"Greetings, Master. I am Su Yuntao, a deacon of the Spirit Hall." Su Yuntao greeted him first.

"Hello, I am Yu Xiaogang. How is Master Matthew?" The master nodded in response and then asked.

"His health is quite good, and he doesn't have much to do with the Spirit Hall lately," Su Yuntao replied.

"That's good." After saying this, the master fell silent.

Su Yuntao didn't know what to say either, and also fell silent.

Chen Feng, Tang San, and Xiao Wu exchanged glances and started chatting in a tacit manner to prevent the atmosphere from becoming too awkward.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Chen Feng and a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, when he first saw the academic talent shown by this child, he wanted to take the child as his disciple.

However, in subsequent conversations, Yu Xiaogang gradually realized that the child was more outstanding than he had thought.

The ability to accurately identify Luo Sanpao's problem in a very short time and quickly propose a feasible solution far exceeded Yu Xiaogang's expectations.

You see, he had spent most of his life trying to figure out Luo Sanpao's situation, but Chen Feng's words, "Life will find its own way," completely enlightened Yu Xiaogang.

He shouldn't treat Luo Sanpao merely as a martial spirit, but rather as a separate life closely connected to himself.

After realizing this, Yu Xiaogang understood that he could no longer be Chen Feng's teacher.

The reason is simple: Chen Feng can now be described as a prodigy, with boundless imagination and a spirituality that is not bound by any framework.

If such a genius is taught without proper guidance, it is very likely to harm him, perhaps even stifling his talent and turning him into an ordinary person.

This is something Yu Xiaogang simply cannot accept.

Therefore, he made up his mind not to try to become Chenfeng's teacher, but to only impart to him what he knew and what Chenfeng needed, without interfering with Chenfeng's thinking.

In this way, the spiritual essence of Chenfeng should be largely preserved.

However, this also has a hidden danger: if Chen Feng uses his wisdom for bad purposes, it will definitely cause great harm.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang felt that while imparting knowledge, he should also pay attention to guiding the child's character.

His previous warning against indiscriminately killing soul beasts was for this very purpose.

If small evils are not taken seriously, they may turn into big evils, and by then it will be too late to bring them back to the right path.

……

The Sand Gold Valley is a bit farther from Notting City than the Soul Hunter Forest, which meant that it took Chen Feng and his companions two and a half days to reach their destination.

By the time they arrived at Sand Gold Town near Sand Gold Valley, it was already evening. After entering the town, they found a hotel and planned to rest there for the night and recharge before heading back to Sand Gold Valley the next day.

They could also take the opportunity to resupply, so they wouldn't run out of food in the Sand Gold Valley, which would be a terrible situation.

"I'm so tired after walking for so long, my bones are all stiff from sitting." Xiao Wu stretched.

"You have the nerve to complain about being tired? It's Brother Rensu and the driver who are the ones who are tired. They took turns driving the whole way," Chen Feng said as he got out of the car.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu pouted and hummed twice without saying anything, then got out of the car with Chen Feng.

Tang San followed closely behind. He had practiced Tang Clan martial arts since childhood and had excellent physical fitness, so he didn't feel tired at all.

The coachman and the master were last in line, and now Su Yuntao was driving.

Of course, the driver can't drive all the time; after all, people aren't machines and need rest.

The three children couldn't carry the carriage, and the master couldn't drive, so only Su Yuntao could get on.

"Actually, it's alright. In the past, when Master Matthew and I went out, I usually drove. This time it wasn't that far," Su Yuntao said nonchalantly.

However, he was still quite pleased with what Chen Feng had just said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Su. How about this: if we successfully obtain the spirit rings this time, I'll drive the car when we get back. I've almost learned how to drive it in the last couple of days. You can give me some pointers if needed," Chen Feng suggested.

"I can drive too," Tang San chimed in. This was a basic skill for an assassin, something they didn't need to learn.

"Xiao Feng and Xiao San are such good kids, but you're still too young. Let Lao Liu and I do it." Su Yuntao smiled and patted Chen Feng and Tang San on the head.

The driver, Lao Liu, was also smiling broadly beside him, feeling that his hard work along the way had not been in vain.

Only Xiao Wu muttered unhappily:

"It's just that I was immature."

"I'm not young anymore. If I get my first spirit ring and become a spirit master, pulling a rein should be a piece of cake, right?" Chen Feng insisted.

He wasn't just being polite; he genuinely had some interest in driving.

In his previous life, he had only ever driven a car, and he was very curious about horse-drawn carriages, such an ancient mode of transportation. Of course, he wanted to find an opportunity to try it out.

"Haha, alright then, I'll teach you how to drive on the way back." Su Yuntao had Lao Liu settle the carriage, and then the group went into the hotel together.

Upon entering the hall, the master glanced at the small dining area set up next to it and said:

"Let's have dinner first. The children haven't been eating well these past two days."

“Okay, then I…” Su Yuntao was about to order food and pay the bill when he was interrupted by the master.

"I've been idle for two days, so let me take care of your food and lodging tonight." With that, the master walked towards the front desk.

Su Yuntao was taken aback for a moment, but didn't do anything awkward like rushing to pay. Instead, he led Lao Liu and the three children to a good spot by the window.

A short while later, the master returned, followed by a waiter carrying a tray.

"Have some snacks to tide you over first; the main course will be ready in a while." The master sat down at the table.

"Yay!" Xiao Wu cheered, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She was starving.

"I also booked two triple rooms, one for the adults and one for the children," the master said, picking up a piece of pastry and eating it.
