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

Furthermore, he did not offer any guidance or advice to the Seven Devils afterward, nor did he teach them any lessons.

Chen Feng did not comment on this approach. After all, judging from the description in the original work, the Fierce God Team was indeed not a good thing, and killing them was like eliminating a scourge.

However, Chen Feng believes that the comic book masters are at a higher level in this regard compared to the original authors.

In the comics, the master also had the Shrek Seven Devils face the Fierce God Team, but he secretly had Tang San adjust the power of the Zhuge Crossbow and coat the arrows with an anesthetic drug.

When the Zhuge Crossbows were fired in unison during the battle, the Fierce God Team fell down in unison, looking as if they were dead.

From the perspective of the Seven Devils, they experienced a real act of killing and deeply understood the consequences of violence.

After the battle, the master told them that people must bear the consequences of their actions. After the evil god team awoke, he told the seven monsters not to become cruel people, but to respect their own lives and the lives of others.

Clearly, the masters of comics are several levels above the masters of the original works in terms of education.

The latter approach is most likely to produce a group of weapons who are biased and lack any sound personality.

The former, however, can cultivate mentally healthy individuals.

Humanity and animality are both indispensable parts of human beings; without either, one cannot be considered a complete person.

Losing humanity means losing a lot; losing animality means losing everything.

This principle applies universally to the human world.

After several more days of travel, the group finally arrived at Tiandou City.

Here, Chen Feng planned to separate from the others; he was going to take Tang San to find Dugu Bo.

In the past few days, he had learned from Tang San that the immortal herb that Dugu Bo had obtained was called the Heavenly Ice Water Lotus.

This is a type of herb that grows in pairs, which is why its development cycle is much longer than that of ordinary herbs.

In other words, there's no hope of harvesting from that Heavenly Ice Water Lotus again.

The reason Chen Feng took Tang San to find Dugu Bo was to use his friendship with Tang San and Tang San's extensive knowledge of herbal medicine to open the door to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Harvesting immortal herbs is nothing to be ashamed of, especially since Chen Feng has a research topic on the core of soul power that he needs to discuss with Dugu Bo.

When Dugu Bo left, he told Chen Feng the location of his manor and told Chen Feng to go there to find him if he needed anything.

If you can't find him at the manor, then go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Dugu Bo is basically in one of those two places anyway.

Unfortunately, when Chen Feng and his companion arrived at Dugu Bo's manor, the gates were tightly shut, and they received no response after knocking for a long time.

Therefore, Chen Feng and Tang San had no choice but to head towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Chapter 135 Heaven Dou Royal Academy

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is located outside Heavenly Dou City, and it doesn't take long to get there from Dugu Bo Manor.

After all, this was specially prepared by Prince Xuexing for Dugu Bo, so that Dugu Bo could check on his granddaughter's residence at any time.

Arriving at the location of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy from Dugu Bo's manor, Chen Feng looked around and saw a rather large mountain with a lake at its foot, all of which belonged to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Surrounded by mountains and water, the scenery here is quite nice," Chen Feng commented.

“After all, it’s the Royal Academy, so its basic conditions are definitely unmatched by other academies,” Tang San agreed.

"I wonder what the core of this academy is like," Chen Feng said as he walked into the mountains. "I hope it's not all show and no substance."

That's what they say, but Chen Feng also knows that most of the current Tian Dou Royal Academy is probably rotten to the core, and the real gems are probably only a few people, including the Tian Dou Royal Team.

The first requirement for admission to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is that students must have a noble background; commoner students can forget about joining.

In the original story, if it weren't for Qin Ming, Shrek Academy and his group would probably have had a hard time getting in touch with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Students with outstanding martial spirits like Ma Hongjun and Oscar would never be accepted by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Such narrow admission rules show that the decline of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was inevitable.

In the fantasy world, the idea that talent is everything is a rather narrow view; people with poor talent are not necessarily unable to achieve something.

As a result, the Royal Academy of Tian Dou was visited by something even more backward than the theory of talent-only, namely the theory of bloodline-only.

How much can an academy achieve if it uses noble blood as the criterion for admission?

When Chen Feng was choosing a new employer, he first ruled out the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy because, in his view, the academy had the potential to become a noble family from his previous life.

There was a saying in Chen Feng's previous life: "A good job is like AIDS; it can only be transmitted in three ways."

Sex, mother and child, and blood ties.

This is actually a characteristic of powerful clans, and the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy perfectly exemplifies this.

Of course, this refers to the aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty, and has no other meaning or metaphor.

Founded by the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire, and with the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire serving as the dean of each successive academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's rule of only admitting descendants of nobles, to some extent reflects the backwardness of the Heaven Dou Empire in its talent selection system.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is clearly the talent pool of the Heaven Dou Empire. If it is full of noble descendants and there is no fresh blood, it means that the Heaven Dou Empire has been basically controlled by noble clans.

And judging from the history of the previous life that Chen Feng knew, such countries usually did not have a good ending.

A better outcome would be a split, such as the division of Jin into three states. A worse outcome would be the decline of national power due to aristocratic politics, which would eventually lead to a wave of foreign invasions and the loss of power, such as the Five Barbarian Invasions.

Judging from the fate of the Heavenly Dou Empire, it was relatively lucky. It only split into two countries, but it managed to withstand the invasion of the Sun Moon Continent and was not wiped out in one fell swoop.

In reality, Chen Feng had never thought much of the Heaven Dou Empire. How could a country be managed well with a bunch of insect clans?

Therefore, Chen Feng's initial plan was to develop in the Star Luo Empire, which was his purpose in contacting Dai Mubai.

However, he later discovered that he was actually a rising star with enough resources to build his own power, which is why he chose Shrek Academy, which was relatively untapped.

Of course, it's Hydra Academy now.

In terms of formation, Hydra Academy now actually belongs to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

However, Chen Feng had no intention of necessarily supporting the Heavenly Dou Empire. He wanted to see if the Heavenly Dou Empire was up to par and to assess the competence of its two heirs, one real and one fake.

If their skills are decent, then Chen Feng will stay here for now. But if both of them are hopeless, then Chen Feng will have to make some other plans.

You can't just hang yourself on a crooked tree.

Anyway, he has connections in the Star Luo Empire. Having a backup plan means having a way out and he can switch sides at any time.

As Chen Feng pondered this, he and Tang San climbed the mountain together, but they encountered trouble shortly afterward.

"Hey, what are you two doing here? Don't you know this is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Nearly ten young Soul Masters, around eighteen or nineteen years old, blocked Chen Feng and his companion's path.

Judging from their pale yellow school uniforms, they should be students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, a group of privileged second-generation rich kids.

Chen Feng looked at the group of carefree young men in front of him with a strange expression, because he remembered that in the original story, the Shrek Academy group had just entered the mountains when they encountered a group blocking their way.

And now he was also blocked from the road. Could it be that there was a group of people specifically loitering around the area to guard the gates of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?

"Hey! I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" Seeing Chen Feng's strange expression but his silence, the leader of this group of young soul masters immediately became angry.

He had never seen anyone ignore him like this before.

"We're here to find someone," Chen Feng finally spoke.

"Looking for someone?" The young man in the lead sized up Chen Feng and his companion, then sneered, "You two beggars who came from who-knows-where actually dare to come to our Royal Academy looking for someone? That's hilarious, hahaha."

The young people around them burst into laughter and began to comment on Chen Feng and his companion.

Both Chen Feng and Tang San dressed rather simply. Tang San did so because he couldn't afford nice clothes, while Chen Feng didn't care much about such things; he only cared about being comfortable.

He prefers ordinary casual wear to those flashy clothes that are cumbersome to wear.

However, given Chen Feng and Tang San's appearances, they actually look good in any clothes.

After traveling for several days, they did look somewhat travel-worn, but in the words of the young leader, they were exaggerated to look like beggars.

Chen Feng wasn't angry at the sarcasm from the people opposite him; he simply smiled and sized up the young man in the lead.

If he encountered the same group of people as the Shrek Seven Devils from the original story, then the young man leading them should be none other than Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Judging from the original novel and the comics, he is a cunning and patient character, much like Goujian.

Of course, Goujian's ability to endure was second to none in history, even surpassing that of the old tortoise Sima Yi, and his skill in dealing with avalanches was far inferior.

Such people have one characteristic: they are cunning, good at pretending and acting, have excellent political skills, and are ruthless and have no sense of loyalty or affection, making it difficult to see their true colors.

From a psychological perspective, living in a dangerous environment for a long time can lead to a gloomy and extreme personality.

However, such people also have an advantage: they are very pragmatic, able to recognize their own situation, and have excellent patience.

There have been many such people in history, such as Ying Zheng, Liu Heng, Liu Che, Liu Bingyi, Yang Guang, and Li Zhi, and so on.

From this perspective, the Liu family was quite powerful; most emperors possessed unique skills.

From a national perspective, such a person is qualified to be an emperor because they are intelligent enough and have excellent political skills. As long as they don't go astray, they are a qualified and wise ruler.

If one goes astray, then Yang Guang is a good example.

In Chen Feng's view, avalanche could actually be considered as an alternative. Although such a person could not become a friend, at least in terms of ability, they met the requirements.

Therefore, he was not emotionally affected by the avalanche's sarcastic remarks; he knew it was all an act by the other party.

It's about saving your life, it's not shameful.

Chen Feng's attitude surprised Xue Beng, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and reverted to his annoying, spoiled demeanor.

"Hey! Didn't you two beggars hear what I just said? This isn't a place for you, get out of here!"

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he didn't argue with people based on personal feelings, he was naturally very unhappy to be insulted like this.

However, Chen Feng remained silent, so he made no move.

Chen Feng maintained his smile and said:

"Don't you even ask me who I'm looking for? What if it's someone you can't afford to offend? Aren't you afraid?"

"We can't afford to offend him?" A young man opposite him laughed loudly. "Do you know who this person in front of you is? He is the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. This entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy belongs to His Highness. There is no one here that His Highness cannot afford to offend."

"That's right, how dare a beggar spout nonsense here, saying we can't afford to offend him? He should take a good look at himself." A young man next to him chimed in.

A smug smile appeared on Avalanche's face, clearly enjoying the flattery.

"I'm looking for Senior Poison Douluo," Chen Feng said calmly.

The youths' laughter stopped abruptly, and Xue Beng's expression stiffened for a moment.

"What, what a joke? You think you can just go find Poison Douluo like that? Beggars love to spout nonsense." A young man seemed to feel embarrassed for being frightened earlier, and now he had a rather blustering but cowardly air about him.

Chen Feng completely ignored him and simply looked at Xue Beng and said:

"Your Highness, could you please allow us to go in and find someone? Or could you please inform Senior Poison Douluo for us?"

Xue Beng asked, "How did you know Poison Douluo was here?"

"Of course, it was my senior who told me," Chen Feng said.

After a slight hesitation, Xue Beng said to one of his henchmen:

"Go and fetch Dugu Yan."

He was now about 80% convinced by Chen Feng's words, because Poison Douluo always acted alone and few people knew his whereabouts, let alone the fact that he had disappeared for several years and only recently returned.

If you don't know him well enough, you wouldn't even know he's back.

Even Xue Beng only recently learned of Poison Douluo's return, but he didn't know if Poison Douluo was currently at the academy, let alone the others.

Therefore, the only option was to ask Dugu Yan to come and identify the person.

But the young man who had been given the avalanche command looked dejected and said:

"Your Highness, I'm afraid Dugu Yan will beat me up."

"This is important business, what's there to be afraid of? Go quickly!" Avalanche said irritably.

There's also a story behind this: when Dugu Yan first came to the academy, no one knew her background, so naturally some people flirted with her because she was pretty.

After all, the academy is full of rich kids who have always treated Tian Lao Da and the others as second-in-command, and are used to being lawless.

The surname Dugu was not well-known among the nobility, so others assumed that Dugu Yan had an ordinary background and it was not surprising that she would do such a harassing thing.

But Dugu Yan was not someone to be trifled with. Not only was she exceptionally talented, but she also had a grandfather who was a titled Douluo. She wasn't afraid of the young masters in the academy when it came to her background, so she didn't hesitate to beat up those who harassed her.

After these people resorted to their traditional method of calling their parents, Dugu Yan also brought in her grandfather, and from then on, no one in the academy dared to mess with her.

The young man, forced by the avalanche, left in tears, while the rest stared at each other blankly.

Although they were spoiled brats, they weren't entirely stupid. Judging from the current situation, these two beggar-like guys actually seemed to know Poison Douluo.

But they just made sarcastic remarks to these two people, didn't they? They completely offended them.
