Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 172 Chen Feng's Protagonist Treatment

After hearing Di Tian's words, Gu Yueling frowned and said:
"You sound very uncertain. How much of a degree is 'one' here?"

"It's just a little bit," Di Tian sighed. "The elemental gods used to be quite close to us soul beasts, but after a disaster, these elemental gods have almost all withered away."

"The reason I say 'a little' is mainly because the current elemental gods are the successors of the previous generation, and there may still be some kinship between us. At least they won't deliberately target us."

The glimmer of hope that had just risen in Gu Yueling's heart vanished instantly.

She thought for a moment and asked:

What was that disaster?

"It was a war between the gods, but you don't need to worry about it; it's all in the past," Di Tian said vaguely.

Gu Yueling didn't press the matter further, but instead asked:
"I already know that the Spirit Hall is backed by the Angel God. So, are there any other similar divine forces in this world?"

"Are you looking for a force capable of confronting the Spirit Hall?" Di Tian countered.

"Yes."

"There are some, but there's not much hope."

"why?"

"Because that force is backed by the Sea God. Although He doesn't have much malice towards us soul beasts, He doesn't show much favoritism either. Besides, it's difficult for ocean forces to get involved in land-based affairs. Both sides will be much weaker when they're on each other's home turf," Di Tian replied.

Gu Yueling was somewhat dejected upon hearing this, "Then is there no way out for us soul beasts? We can never become gods, nor will we be favored by the gods."

"So we need to transform into humans, but unfortunately this path is too dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to death and destruction. Although the two rabbits, one big and one small, are not very strong, their courage is truly extraordinary. They both chose to transform into humans one after the other. I wonder if the little rabbit will succeed in the end," Di Tian sighed.

"Don't forget I'm here," Gu Yueling said.

"Yes, and you too. I hope you can pave a way for us soul beasts." Di Tian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there is another force that might be able to play a role."

"What force?"

"The far north."

"The Far North?"

"That's right. The ones who would truly fight for the fate of soul beasts are, of course, the soul beast forces. The three Heavenly Kings of the Far North and their respective races are a formidable force, and it is said that they possess the bloodline of the Ice God."

“However, I’m not sure about their current state or their attitude, so it’s hard to say whether they can be of any help,” Di Tian said.

Gu Yueling nodded. "I'll remember that. I'll find a chance to go and see it later."

Di Tian pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Although they probably won't do anything to you because of your status as a mythical beast, you should still be careful and prioritize your own safety."

"Don't worry, I understand." Gu Yueling smiled. "By the way, I should also start condensing my soul rings. How about I find a soul beast to help me?"

"What are the requirements?"

"A dragon species that excels in strength."

"Row."

While Gu Yueling and Di Tian were discussing the fate of soul beasts, an uninvited guest arrived at the Hydra Academy.

At the main gate of the academy, an elderly man with white hair and beard was standing.

Behind him, Tyrone and Tyno looked miserable.

Not only that, Taino also had a bruise on his face, a scar that he didn't have when he left the academy.

"Dad, why don't we just let it go? It's already embarrassing enough that I lost to a few kids. Luckily, there weren't many people watching at the time. But now you've made a big fuss about it," Taino whispered to his father, Titan.

"Are you afraid of losing face? Not only did you lose to a few kids, but you were also extorted for 30,000 gold soul coins by that scoundrel Zhao Wuji. How could I have such a useless son like you?" Titan lectured in a booming voice.

"Dad, keep your voice down!" Taino glanced at the students around him who were looking over at the sound and quickly whispered.

Titan snorted coldly, but did not continue to reveal any more dirt on his son.

At this moment, Chen Feng and the others had already been notified by their classmates and stopped training, rushing towards the door.

Behind them were the Golden Trio, who had followed along out of concern, and Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji asked Flander with some concern:

"Boss, are you sure about this? You're not really going to fight that old guy at the school gate, are you? Poison Douluo isn't in the academy right now."

Although Dugu Bo is now an advisor to the Hydra Academy, as a titled Douluo, no one can restrict his whereabouts, so he disappears every few days.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems," Flander said calmly.

Liu Erlong, standing to the side, snorted coldly and said:
"What are you afraid of? If that old man wants to fight, we'll fight him. His own son bullies the younger ones but gets taught a lesson by the kids instead. He still has the nerve to come looking for trouble. It's a joke!"

She had a very loud voice, and what she said was heard by the students watching the play at the door and the teachers who came after hearing the news.

Feeling the gazes directed at him, Taino wished he could disappear into the ground.

Titan glanced at Liu Erlong but ignored her, instead turning his gaze to Zhao Wuji.

At this moment, Chenfeng, who had already arrived at the school gate, said to Titan:

"Did you come looking for us, senior?"

Titan withdrew his gaze from Chen Feng, then glanced at the children surrounding him, and asked calmly:
"Were you the ones who competed against my son before?"

“That’s right.” Chen Feng nodded.

This was the first time he had experienced something like what the protagonist in a novel would go through: after beating the young, the old would come; after beating the old, the even older would come.

Generally speaking, when the protagonist of a novel encounters such a thing, he will suffer a lot of hardships. Those older and even older ones will become experience packs for the protagonist to become stronger step by step, with strength that is just right but not enough to directly kill him.

I wonder if Chen Feng will receive this treatment; just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

After all, someone as handsome as him is usually the protagonist.

However, this time things took a different turn.

Just as Titan was about to speak again, Bai Chenxiang, standing behind Chen Feng, whispered:
"Grandpa Titan".

Actually, Bai Chenxiang wanted to greet Tainuo when he came before, but the atmosphere wasn't very good, so she hesitated.

After losing the match, Taino left immediately, and she didn't have a chance to say hello.

Bai Chenxiang knew Taino and Titan, and had also met Tailong twice, because her grandfather had taken her to a gathering of the four clans before.

However, she was quite young back then, and now, due to her age and increased soul power, she looks much more mature than she did then.

Furthermore, since Taino's attention wasn't on her when he arrived, he didn't recognize her. Now, seeing that Titan was coming in a menacing manner and was likely about to clash with his companions, Bai Chenxiang quickly came out to greet him, hoping to ease the tension.

Upon hearing Bai Chenxiang's voice, Titan and the other two were taken aback.

Titan carefully examined the white agarwood, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar.

"you are?"

"I am Bai Chenxiang," Bai Chenxiang said.

Titan's eyes widened. "You're that little girl from the old White Bird family? You've changed so much in just a few years, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Hehe." Bai Chenxiang smiled a little shyly.

The reason her grandfather, Baihe, took her to the four clan gathering was mainly so that she could get some good food there and also get some gifts from the elders.

After all, the Min clan was on the verge of bankruptcy, so they were living a rather frugal life. This was Baihe's only option.

After the Min Clan joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, their lives naturally improved instantly. Therefore, when Bai He attended the gathering of the four clans again, he no longer brought Bai Chenxiang with him.

If you think about it, she hadn't seen Titan and the others for about four or five years, so it's no wonder that Titan didn't recognize her at first.

Taino was even more stunned; he truly didn't know that Bai Chenxiang was also in this academy.

Recalling what had happened, he suddenly felt a chill and asked:

"Xiangxiang, what level are you at now?"

Tainuo clearly remembered that Chen Feng and the others were all at least Soul Venerable level, at least that's what the red-haired boy said.

But he wasn't sure if this included Bai Chenxiang, because he clearly remembered that Bai Chenxiang was only about eleven years old at the moment.

“It’s the Soul Lord,” Bai Chenxiang said.

Taino was immediately surprised, and Titan frowned and asked:

"Did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School give you some kind of medicine? Your cultivation level seems a bit off."

He knew that the Min Clan had joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Titan didn't have much dissatisfaction with his old friend's choice.

Because he knew the difficulties of the Min clan, and Ning Fengzhi had a good reputation, he also solved the problem of the Min clan's lack of offensive capabilities.

In the subsequent gatherings, Baihe's radiant appearance was undeniable, so Titan had no objection to the Min Clan's change of allegiance.

He himself is loyal to the Haotian Sect, or more accurately, to Tang Hao, but he will not force others to be the same.

However, Bai Chenxiang's cultivation level is clearly not right now. With her talent, she shouldn't have reached this level at this age. Therefore, Titan is worried that the Min Clan has been used by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Thinking that this was indeed the case, a hint of ferocity flashed in Titan's eyes.

Seeing Titan's expression, Chen Feng knew what he was doubting, so he smiled and said:

"Senior, do you think Senior Bai is a muddle-headed person?"

Titan paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

If Baihe were confused, the Min clan would have collapsed long ago. How could they have persisted for so long despite their inherent disadvantages?
"But what about Xiangxiang's cultivation level?" Titan was puzzled.

“Senior, this is not the place to talk. Let’s go to the academy to discuss this in detail. I just wrote back to the sect earlier, and Uncle Ning, Senior Bai, and Senior Niu should be coming soon.” Chen Feng gestured to Titan.

Titan pondered for a moment, nodded, and then said to Tyno and Talon:
"You guys go back first."

Taino and Tyrone both breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed:
"Yes, Dad/Grandpa."

On the way back, Taino couldn't help but complain to Tailong:

Why didn't you tell me Xiangxiang was in your college?

If Tyrone had told him about this earlier, he would still have come looking for trouble, but he definitely wouldn't have chosen to fight.

In Tai Nuo's eyes, Bai Chenxiang was almost like his niece. He had to give his little niece some face, so he naturally wouldn't be so insistent on getting revenge.

That way, he wouldn't have suffered the torment of disgusting tactics and been extorted for 30,000 gold soul coins.

Hearing his father's complaints, Tyrone felt wronged.

"I didn't know she was in the academy; I hadn't noticed her before."

Bai Chenxiang has changed so much since she was a child, and she is not outstanding in Chenfeng's small team. How would Tailong know that there is such a person in the academy?

Besides, he and Bai Chenxiang hadn't seen each other many times when they were young. Even if he had seen them or heard their names, he wouldn't have remembered them. Isn't that normal?

Taino understood this principle too, and he sighed:
"Your father's reputation is completely ruined this time."

Chen Feng and his group walked towards the academy with Titan. The conflict that was about to break out was averted, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

The pressure from a Contra player is considerable. If a fight breaks out without Dugu Bo present, it won't be a good thing. At the very least, the academy will be torn to shreds, and the students will be greatly affected.

However, Flander wasn't too worried, because he knew about Chen Feng's plan to call for reinforcements.

Just as the group was walking toward the academy's conference room, a sudden ripple appeared in the space ahead, and several figures emerged from it.

"Oh dear, it seems we've arrived." Gu Rong smiled and looked at the group of people in front of her.

"Grandpa Gu, Dad, what brings you here?" Ning Rongrong happily jumped into Gu Rong's arms.

Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, couldn't help but say:

Why don't you hug your dad first?

“What’s wrong with Rongrong hugging me first? You, as her father, heartlessly sent Rongrong to the wilderness. I don’t think Rongrong should have hugged you in the first place,” Gu Rong scolded.

Flanders coughed lightly, stepped forward, and said:
"Senior Bone Douluo, although my place can't compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it's not exactly some desolate wilderness, is it?"

Gu Rong looked around and commented:

"Well, it's alright. It can't really be called the wilderness, but your previous place could easily be called the wilderness."

“Well, the conditions were indeed a bit tough back then, but we’ve moved here now,” Flander said.

“Alright, Uncle Bone, the key to an academy is its faculty. Conditions are secondary, and an overly privileged environment can foster arrogance in students.” Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded to Flander.

"Dad, are you targeting me?" Ning Rongrong said, dissatisfied.

"How could that be? Dad was just stating the facts," Ning Fengzhi said with a laugh.
