Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 126 Heading to the Four Elements School

Jialing Pass, the most important gateway of the Heavenly Dou Empire, is flanked by towering mountains, with natural barriers everywhere, making it the best shield. In front of it lies a flat plain, so flat that any army's attack can be detected in advance. It can be said to be the most perfect barrier.

"With two Title Douluos, Uncle She and Uncle Ci, leading the Jialing Pass now, along with 20,000 Qi and Blood Warriors and a barrage of powerful weapons, holding it shouldn't be difficult!"

"But our goal is not to defend the Heaven Dou Empire, but to annihilate the Star Luo Empire and the new Spirit Hall. Simply defending Jialing Pass is not enough!"

Li Fei slowly began to speak. He didn't know much about war. He had been busy cultivating in recent years and hadn't read any military treatises. So he still needed to ask more questions about warfare.

Qian Renxue stepped forward and took Li Fei's arm, laughing, "Of course we know. Jialing Pass is just our first step. During this time, I've already had all the Qi and Blood martial artists in the country enter Jialing Pass in batches. Once the army is fully assembled, we can attack the two great empires through Jialing Pass at any time!"

"That's good!" Li Fei nodded and asked, "Who's the team leader?"

Qian Renxue pointed to a burly man beside her and laughed, "This is Xiao Jinzhong, the new Grand Marshal of the Empire. His military skills are in no way inferior to Ge Long's, but his soul power cultivation is somewhat weak; his strength is only at the Soul Saint level!"

"Cultivation level doesn't matter, as long as you can fight!"

Li Fei was indifferent to the Dao, but he was afraid of laymen instructing experts. For example, in the original work, Jialing Pass was clearly dominated by the Spirit Hall, but due to the command, it was almost breached by the two countries and their armies.

He had heard of Xiao Jinzhong's name before. Since being promoted to Grand Marshal of the Empire, he had commanded several conflicts and battles within the Empire, achieving remarkable results and demonstrating his strong abilities.

This is the first time we've met today!

Xiao Jinzhong immediately stepped forward respectfully and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Li Fei!"

"It's alright! Fight well. As long as you can destroy the Star Luo Empire, I will personally enhance your strength!" Li Fei gently patted Xiao Jinzhong's shoulder to encourage him.

"Lord Li Fei, I will certainly do my best!" Xiao Jinzhong said excitedly.

"Xue'er, now that you've figured out a way to fight, I won't worry about the battlefield anymore. I'll go to the Four Elemental Academies later and see if I can persuade them to help us out!"

"Then hurry back!"

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do here, Li Fei left the palace and headed towards the four elemental academies. Thunder Academy, which was controlled by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, was immediately ruled out by Li Fei.

That leaves the three major academies: Tianshui, Chihuo, and Shenfeng.

Hurricane City, near Hurricane Canyon, is the city where the Divine Wind Academy is located. Teachers from the Divine Wind Academy often take their students to Hurricane Canyon to train in the face of hurricanes, which is considered a unique feature of the academy.

This was also Li Fei's first stop.

In less than half a day, Li Fei arrived near Hurricane City from Tiandou City.

"The environment here is quite similar to Howling Wind Canyon where the Wind Sword Sect is located, except that the hurricanes here are stronger, and there's no occasional thunderous force overhead like in Howling Wind Canyon!"

Standing beside Hurricane Canyon and observing the environment, Li Fei understood the difference between this place and Howling Wind Canyon.

"What is this?!" Li Fei glanced around and saw a little boy wearing a mask in the hurricane. He was surrounded by wind-attribute soul power and kept pushing forward against the hurricane. He also had considerable martial arts cultivation. He laughed and said, "It must be Feng Xiaotian! I didn't expect him to be so hardworking at such a young age. No wonder he almost defeated Tang San in the original story."

Feng Xiaotian was braving the hurricane, constantly using his wind-attribute soul power to counteract the wind force, increasing the wind pressure and sharpness of his wind-attribute soul power, and enhancing his strength.

"Your cultivation method is incorrect. You must not only counteract the power of the wind, but also utilize it, integrating it into your daily cultivation. Only then can you advance further!"

The sudden sound from behind startled Feng Xiaotian, causing a slight malfunction in his soul power circulation, which failed to withstand the power of the hurricane and sent him flying.

boom!

Li Fei grabbed Feng Xiaotian's leg, lifted him upside down, and laughed, "Do you really need to get so worked up?!"

"Let me go! Or I'll get rough with you!"

Upon seeing Li Fei, Feng Xiaotian shouted angrily, his body struggling and twisting like a caterpillar as the two-headed Gale Wolf instantly possessed him.

"Second Soul Skill: Twin Wolves Possession!"

"First Soul Skill: Wind Blade Formation!"

His only two spirit rings lit up instantly, and with a wave of his hand, a pair of wolf claws appeared, and ten sharp wind blades shot towards Li Fei's face.

"call!"

Li Fei smiled and exhaled softly. The airflow turned into a gale, directly dispersing the wind blades shot by Feng Xiaotian. Not only that, the continuous hurricane was also neutralized.

"How is this possible?! Just a breath!"

Feng Xiaotian stopped struggling and looked at Li Fei in disbelief. The gust of wind had just blown past his cheek. He could clearly feel the power of that wind, which was far greater than the hurricane in the Hurricane Canyon. That's why it could easily neutralize the hurricane. Perhaps only the wind from the depths of the canyon could do that.

boom!

Throwing Feng Xiaotian to the ground, Li Fei laughed, "The environment in Hurricane Canyon is quite nice, very suitable for cultivating wind-attribute soul power. No wonder Divine Wind Academy is one of the four major elemental academies!"

"Who are you?! What are your intentions towards our Kamikaze Academy?!"

Feng Xiaotian got up from the ground, his eyes filled with fear. Just from that one moment, he realized that no one in the entire Shenfeng Academy could match him, and he had never heard of anyone on the entire continent who could generate such a terrifying gale using only physical strength.

"My name is Li Fei!"

"What?! You're the sect leader of the Body Sect, the number one genius on the continent!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian exclaimed in disbelief.

"Alright, take me to see the Dean of Kamikaze Academy. I need to speak with him!"

"knew!"

……

Inside the Divine Wind Academy, Dean Feng Shilin had already received the news and was respectfully waiting for Li Fei's arrival at the academy gate.

"Feng Shilin of Shenfeng Academy greets His Excellency Li Fei!"

Upon seeing his son Feng Xiaotian leading Li Fei toward them, Feng Shilin immediately went to greet them respectfully.

"Alright! Let the students disperse! I have something to discuss with you school officials," Li Fei said, waving his hand.

"Yes!" Feng Shilin quickly bowed and said, turning around to scatter the students and unimportant teachers: "Your Excellency Li Fei, please come with me!"

Walking beside the Wind Forest, Li Fei observed the layout of the Divine Wind Academy. The roofs here were all cone-shaped, with many wind banners stuck on them, fluttering in the breeze.

Soon the group arrived at a spacious conference room. Feng Shilin immediately seated Li Fei in the head seat, and then sat down next to him with a fawning expression.

"I wonder what instructions Li Feimian has for my Shenfeng Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fei stated directly, "I don't like beating around the bush. I believe you can see the situation on the entire continent. War is inevitable. I want to know the attitude of the Divine Wind Academy: will it choose to join the Heavenly Dou Empire or choose to be its enemy?"

"Your Majesty, must we really have to make a choice?! My Kamikaze Academy is just a school, a place to raise children. Is it really okay for them to participate in war at such a young age?!" Feng Shilin said with a troubled expression.

It wasn't that he had any selfish motives, but most of the students in the academy were between twelve and sixteen years old, and he really didn't want these children to enter the cruel battlefield, which was a real meat grinder!

"I just want an attitude!" Li Fei looked at Feng Shilin with a serious expression.

Feng Shilin looked at Li Fei for a long while before slowly saying, "I understand! Your Excellency Li Fei, Shenfeng Academy will always be a part of the Tiandou Empire, and will always choose to stand on the side of the Empire and fight for it!"

A satisfied smile appeared in Li Fei's eyes. He took out a manual from his storage bracelet, placed it on the table, and said, "This is the cultivation method for Qi and Blood Martial Arts. It's more detailed than the cultivation methods circulating outside, and I believe it will be of great help to Shenfeng Academy!"

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Li Fei!" Feng Shilin said excitedly, picking up the handbook from the table and bowing repeatedly to Li Fei.

"As long as Shenfeng remembers this day, the Heavenly Dou Empire will definitely not skimp on its support for him!"

After saying that, Li Fei smiled at Feng Shilin and then vanished like a bubble.

Feng Shilin and the others stared blankly at the spot where Li Fei had just been, remaining completely silent for a long while. Only after confirming that Li Fei had left did Feng Shilin wipe imaginary sweat from his brow, saying with lingering fear, "His Majesty Li Fei was incredibly imposing!"

"Yes!" The education committee member in the room nodded repeatedly, then said in a solemn voice, "Dean, do we really want to follow the Heavenly Dou Empire?! The children are still so young!"

"I don't want to either! But this war will definitely engulf the entire continent. Even if our Divine Wind Academy remains neutral, we absolutely cannot escape it and will be drawn into it. Therefore, joining the Heavenly Dou Empire is not a bad thing. Moreover, His Majesty Li Fei's meaning was very clear just now. He will not choose to send these children to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary!"

Feng Shilin sighed and said in an extremely calm voice.

"That would be best. If there's really no other way, then we old guys will go first!"

"good!"

……

After leaving Shenfeng Academy, Li Fei flew towards Tianshui City, where Tianshui Academy was located, in a good mood. Tianshui Academy was located in the eastern part of Tiandou Empire. Tianshui City was built on the edge of an inland lake, and Tianshui Academy was built on an island in the middle of the lake.

The entire academy, from teachers to students, is filled with top-tier beauties, which leads to a large number of single men lingering in Tianshui City every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of these beauties.

Upon arriving in Tianshui City, Li Fei did not go to Tianshui Academy immediately, but instead began to explore the city.

Tianshui City has a large number of beautiful women, and various industries cater to them, including clothing, food, and perfume.

Holding snacks in his hand, Li Fei headed towards Tianshui College.

"This fried yellow croaker is quite delicious!"

With a small yellow croaker stuffed in his mouth, Li Fei was very satisfied. He could only say that Tianshui City, which is rich in aquatic products, was truly excellent in making these seafood snacks.

As soon as Li Fei arrived at the entrance of Tianshui Academy, he was stopped by the beautiful gatekeeper, who said in an icy voice, "Who goes there?! Men are not allowed to enter Tianshui Academy!"

Li Fei smiled at the six beautiful women guarding the gate, then opened his mouth towards Tianshui Academy, but no sound came out.

"Lan Ran, an old friend has come to visit!"

Lan Ran, who was teaching Shui Bing'er cultivation, suddenly heard Li Fei's voice, which startled him. Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly got up and looked in the direction of Tianshui City Gate.

Seeing Lan Ran's surprised expression, Shui Bing'er was immediately puzzled and asked, "Sister Ran, what's wrong?!"

Lan Ran grinned foolishly, grabbed Shui Bing'er, and ran towards the entrance of Tianshui. Soon they saw Li Fei standing with his hands behind his back, watching the water spirit beasts leaping up from the lake.

"Li Fei, did you come to Tianshui Academy to see me?!" After saying that, Lan Ran looked at Li Fei with great anticipation.

Li Fei rolled his eyes helplessly and said without hesitation, "No! I'm here to see the dean of Tianshui Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Ran was taken aback, forced a smile, and asked, "What do you want with our dean?!"

Li Fei said, "You'd better not get involved in this. Just take me to your dean!"

Lan Ran nodded, walked to the beautiful woman guarding the gate, and said softly, "This is His Majesty Li Fei. He has business with our Dean. Please let him through!"

"Your Majesty Li Fei..." Upon hearing this address, the beautiful women guarding the gate immediately realized what was happening. They hurriedly knelt before Li Fei, crying out in terror, "Your Majesty Li Fei, spare our lives! We didn't know it was you!"

Get up!

Upon hearing this, the group stood up shakily, quickly opened the door, and let Li Fei and Lan Ran walk in.

Walking along the road, Li Fei looked at Shui Bing'er, who was following beside Lan Ran, and asked with a smile, "How's it going?! How's your training in Ultimate Ice coming along?!"

Shui Bing'er circulated her soul power, and a chill instantly spread from her hands, causing the surrounding temperature to drop. She said helplessly, "It's still not enough. Although the temperature has dropped significantly compared to before, I still can't reach the point where even soul power freezes like those two soul beasts!"

"Those two soul beasts are both over 100,000 years old, approaching 200,000 years old. How can you compare to them? However, you are indeed just one step away from the ultimate ice realm. By continuously absorbing powerful ice-attribute soul beasts, you should be able to reach the ultimate ice realm when you reach the Soul Saint level!"

Li Fei said with a smile, "Don't underestimate the difference of just one step. That one step is the most difficult. It requires enough accumulation to transform. Shui Bing'er's current soul power is level 35. According to his calculations, she's almost at the Soul Saint level. This is because of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. If it were any other ice-attribute Martial Soul, the ultimate cultivation would require reaching the Title Douluo level."
