Douluo: Soul Breaking Spear

Chapter 236 The Decision of the Elemental Academy

Yang Podi ignored the ugly expressions on everyone's faces and continued, "There are a few more points to note. Once you join Tianxing Academy, all major decisions must be voted on by the deans of the academy and cannot be made privately."

"Finally, there is one more thing. It is difficult to join our Tianxing Academy, but it is even more difficult to quit. I am afraid that you will pay a huge price by then."

When Feng Xiaotian and the others heard this, their faces started to turn green.

But Yang Podi didn't care about their expressions. After he finished speaking, he just closed his eyes and rested, not paying attention to anything else.

For other forces, the Four Elements Academies have thousands of soul masters in total, which may be a considerable force, but Yang Podi doesn't care about that at all.

Judging from the current situation, the war will start in five years at most. Both the Spirit Hall and the two empires are preparing for the future war, so they will try their best to win over various forces at all costs.

But for Yang Podi, he had no intention of joining this war. Instead of fighting to the death with several major forces, it would be better for him to watch the fun leisurely.

After all, people will die on the battlefield. Most of the people in Tianxing Academy are disciples from the four major families, and many of them are even direct disciples. As long as there is a war, casualties are always inevitable. These are their foundation. Instead of letting them fight to the death, it is better to hide. Otherwise, Yang Podi would not have chosen a remote place like Almo Mountain.

Besides, when the war is over, as long as Tianyue and I become gods, the entire Douluo Continent will be our territory. What difference will it make whether the Four Elements Academy joins or not?

At this time, Shui Bing'er on the other side suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty Yang Podi, if we join Tianxing Academy, can you guarantee that our students and teachers will be treated equally? At least we won't be discriminated against."

Yang Podi smiled and shook his head: "In theory, this is the case. In Tianxing Academy, everything is based on the academy rules and everyone must abide by them. But you should also know that the foundation of Tianxing Academy is our original Poyi Clan, Yuyi Clan, Bilin Family and Jiuxin Family. It is normal for the academy to focus on training some core disciples."

"If you join Tianxing College, at least I can guarantee that you will be treated equally. Even each of your four colleges can have a vice-president. But I don't want anything weird to happen. After all, the four of us moved to the Almo Mountains in the far north just to find some peace and quiet."

After hearing this, Shui Bing'er hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Yang Podi, I need to think about what you said when I get back."

After finishing speaking, Shui Bing'er and the others left Tianxing College. This was just an ordinary negotiation. At least they knew Yang Podi's conditions. As for the final decision, they would probably have to wait for the deans of the four colleges to make the decision.

Yang Wudi seemed a little confused after watching these people leave: "Po Di, aren't the requirements you put forward too harsh? No academy will accept such requirements."

Yang Podi shook his head: "Grandpa, we moved to this extreme north region to avoid the war between the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects, and even to avoid the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the two empires, so as not to become cannon fodder."

"The so-called Four Elements Academy is nothing more than a group of fence-sitters. Joining our Tianxing Academy may help you avoid this war. If you don't join us, you can only join the Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire. When the war breaks out, you will definitely become cannon fodder."

"We only want to live a stable life now, not to grow stronger. After all, as for the so-called Elemental Academy, there is not even a Titled Douluo, and at most there are only a few Soul Douluos, who are useless except for being cannon fodder."

Yang Wudi said with some confusion: "Although the strength of the Four Elements Academy is relatively weak, they still have potential, especially these young people, who can be regarded as Titled Douluo. It's a pity to miss them."

Yang Podi shook his head: "They are just Titled Douluo. Judging from the current situation, in five years at the shortest and ten years at the longest, the entire Douluo Continent will usher in a huge change. By then, this group of people will at most break through to the Soul Saint realm. Does our Tianxing Academy still need these few Soul Saints?"

"Besides, it's not worth it to drag ourselves into this vortex for this little soul master. It's better for us to develop on our own. After all, the Tianxing Academy was established to strengthen our four major families, not to train talents for other forces."

Yang Wudi and his companions could not help but nod their heads when they heard this. Lowering their posture to attract the four elemental academies to join would indeed strengthen Tianxing Academy in a short period of time, but this was completely putting the cart before the horse. Tianxing Academy was not trying to fight for hegemony, but only to avoid war.

Dugu Bo suddenly spoke up: "Old goat, old rhino, these little monsters said it very well. Under the current situation, it will be useless even if there are more Titled Douluo. Besides, our academy is just for our four families to survive for ten thousand years, and we don't want to care about the outside world. What do we need so many people for?"

Yang Wudi: ...

Niu Gao: ...

After the five people from the Elemental Academy left, they were all thinking about the issues raised in this conversation, and even the future development of the academy.

Lei Dong from Thunder Academy spoke first: "Tianxing Academy's requirements are too strict. We at Thunder Academy may not be able to meet them. We originally relied on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Many people in the academy have various connections with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Originally, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had some conflicts with Tianxing Academy. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to treat them fairly." "Moreover, Tianxing Academy's position of seclusion is completely inconsistent with the positions of our Thunder Academy and Spirit Hall. I'm afraid they deliberately said that because they didn't want to accept our Thunder Academy, nor did they want to go against Spirit Hall."

Feng Xiaotian on the side was a little tangled: "Lei Dong, what do you plan to do?"

Lei Dongdong shook his head: "I didn't have much hope for Tianxing College. I planned to lead the college to Tiandou City. Now only Tiandou City can accommodate us. Besides, Senior Liu Erlong is the dean of Lanba College, and Senior Yu Xiaogang is the leader of Tiandou Royal College. These two are the only remaining members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. They can also get some care in Tiandou City, so I plan to go to Lanba College."

The other four nodded when they heard this. For Thunder Academy, going to Blue Bully Academy was indeed a very good option.

Shui Bing'er from Tianshui College suddenly spoke up: "The teaching philosophy of Tianxing College is somewhat similar to our Tianshui College, and the Far North is very suitable for our Tianshui College. I plan to lead Tianshui College to join Tianxing College."

When they heard this, they all remained silent. Compared with the other major elemental academies, Tianshui Academy was indeed an outlier. Tianshui Academy was also the only academy among all elemental academies that recruited civilian students.

Huo Wu said to Feng Xiaotian beside her: "Xiaotian, what do you think?"

Feng Xiaotian shook his head. "It's hard for me to make a decision. Tiandou City is more suitable for the development of our Shenfeng Academy, but whether it's the Tiandou Royal Family, Haotian Sect, or Qibao Liuli Sect, they are all eyeing us covetously. Being caught between these three forces may be dangerous. If things go wrong, we may be swallowed up by them."

In fact, in the original novel, Shrek Academy is just a pseudonym for the three upper sects, and all actions are basically centered around Tang San. Ten thousand years later, Shrek Academy does not have the elemental families that joined at the beginning, at least no Fire Family, Water Family, and Wind Family.

Huo Wushuang on the side suddenly said: "Xiao Wu, I plan to tell my father and grandfather that I will lead Chihuo Academy to join Tianxing Academy."

In Chihuo Academy, although Huo Wu is dazzling and is deeply loved by the elders of the family, the real captain is Huo Wushuang, who is the true direct descendant of Chihuo Academy. Moreover, looking at the entire original work, Huo Wu is relatively flamboyant, and her behavior is quite extreme and childish, but Huo Wushuang is more stable.

Huo Wu looked a little puzzled: "Brother, Tianxing Academy has so many requirements. I'm afraid that our Chihuo Academy won't have any good development after joining."

Huo Wushuang shook his head: "We also fought against Tiandou Team 2 many times before, so we should understand the strength of the members of Tiandou Team 2. But according to the information I found out later, Niu Meng's strength was originally similar to Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei of Tiandou Team 1, but when they really fought, they were basically at two different levels. It can be seen that Yang Podi is very good at teaching and research."

"Besides, I have also done some research on Tianxing College recently. Although the rules of Tianxing College are relatively strict, the fundamental purpose is actually to maintain the status of their four major families. If our Huo family joins, is it possible to become the fifth family? Besides, if you are given the focus of training by Tianxing College, your future prospects should be better."

"The situation in the whole world is very tense right now. If we move to Tiandou City, I'm afraid we will have to go to the battlefield sooner or later. It's better for us to live in seclusion with Tianxing Academy. At least we can avoid losses for our Huo family."

Huo Wu stopped talking after hearing this. Although Huo Wu was flamboyant and proud, she still had some self-awareness. In the past, she had lost to Tiandou Team 2 many times in a row in the Soul Master Competition, and she was very impressed by the individual strength of Tiandou Team 2.

Feng Xiaotian on the side also remained silent. Although he had tried his best to train hard over the years and improved from the 44th level in the Soul Master Competition to the current 61st level, he was still not as good as Yang Podi five years ago, not to mention that Yang Podi had now reached level 98. The gap between the two sides was like a chasm.

Feng Xiaotian is a rare person with full innate soul power after all, and he is quite confident in his talent. In fact, he is also very curious about Yang Podi and even the way Tiandou Team 2 improved.

After some communication, the four elements academies, Chihuo Academy, Shenfeng Academy and Tianshui Academy, decided to join Tianxing Academy, and Lei Ting Academy decided to move into Tiandou City. As for the specific communication matters, the deans of several academies need to make specific decisions, and there are even some specific details that need to be communicated.

However, for Yang Podi, these are just minor episodes. Becoming a god is his real goal, or even becoming the strongest god is his goal. You must know that gods also have strengths and weaknesses, and there is also the risk of falling.

When Yang Podi was practicing at home, suddenly a very strange aura broke into his senses. This aura was extremely bland and it was difficult to tell its strength.

But this breath has a feeling of returning to nature. If Poseidon represents the vastness of the ocean, then this breath is the boundlessness of the sky, or it can be said to be a holy breath.

And next to this breath there are the very familiar auras of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Yang Podi opened his eyes, which seemed to be filled with golden light: "I didn't expect this old guy to come out in person. It seems that the Spirit Hall still attaches great importance to me."
