Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 118 The Silly Tang Lie

Yang Wudi had just returned to the Elemental Academy when, without a word, he challenged Xiao Fei to a spear duel. The two fought fiercely, and Xiao Fei was defeated once again. In particular, the Sheep Fox had transformed into the ninth form of the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique, a move Xiao Fei felt was even somewhat reminiscent of the Killing God Domain.

After their match, the two sat down next to the arena and drank tea.

"Senior Yang, the spirit ring you obtained this time is quite good. Although I haven't seen you use it, have you already reached the realm of 'Nine Returns to One'?"

Yang Wudi took a big gulp of tea: "Of course! My ninth soul skill comes from a 100,000-year-old white tiger. The white tiger is known as the king of beasts, specializing in killing, and it is of the Geng metal element, which is a perfect match for me. With this 100,000-year-old soul ring, I can easily take on a level 95 or even 96 titled Douluo."

"The White Tiger is indeed excellent and very suitable for you. Coupled with the 100,000-year-old right arm bone that you wield the spear, I estimate that you should be no weaker than Bone Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even compared to Sword Douluo, who is at level 97, you would probably only be slightly inferior."

"You're not bad either. You've already mastered the first six forms of the Nine-Style Soul-Shattering Spear Technique. The seventh and eighth forms should be ready in a few months. As for the ninth form, with your Killing God Domain, you'll probably learn the ninth form naturally once you've mastered the first eight."

"I think if I master the ninth form of the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique, my God of Slaughter Domain might evolve."

"By the way, Senior Yang, aren't you curious why I want to practice the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique?"

Yang Wudi glanced at Xiao Fei with disdain and sneered, "What's so hard to guess? In Douluo Continent, everyone cultivates Martial Souls, so there aren't many martial arts moves. Only Weapon Martial Souls have some moves. If you want your right hand to become stronger, there aren't any fist or claw techniques to learn from. So you might as well learn the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique. Then your right hand will be like a Soul-Breaking Spear, and your attack power will definitely increase greatly."

Xiao Fei couldn't help but think to himself: This old Deng knows so much.

"I'll get used to my spirit rings and spirit bones first, then we'll have a spirit battle sometime."

Xiao Fei asked, somewhat doubtfully, "Senior Yang, are you sure?"

"Of course, do you think you're the only smart one? Back when you were a Soul Saint, didn't you challenge all of us many times? When it comes to fighting above your level, the Soul-Breaking Spear is the only professional."

Suddenly, Yang Pojun appeared out of nowhere and said, "Something terrible has happened. Dean Huo wants to see you two in his office."

Xiao Fei and Yang Wudi were puzzled: "With the current level of elemental science, what major event could possibly happen?"

The two quickly arrived at the dean's office. Everyone was there, and their expressions were not good. Niu Gao, in particular, had a face that was almost completely black.

After the two sat down, Dean Huo Tianchen looked at Niu Gao and then at Yang Wudi: "I just received the latest news that the Haotian Sect has emerged from seclusion. They now have six Title Douluo, and Tang Xiao is already level 97."

"The Clear Sky Sect issued a statement announcing its decision to support the Heaven Dou Empire in its fight against the Spirit Hall, and also issued a statement recalling all its former members."

Yang Wudi's expression changed instantly: "Let the Haotian Sect do whatever they want, my Po clan has nothing to do with them anymore."

Niu Gao also stated, "My Yu clan has no connection whatsoever with the Haotian Sect."

Xiao Fei was speechless: What's going on with the Clear Sky Sect? They actually came out of seclusion so far ahead of schedule? Logically speaking, they should know the strength of the Spirit Empire better than anyone else. Did they really think Qian Daoliu was dead?

"I understand your stance, but given the Haotian Sect's domineering nature, we're afraid they'll come after us. Also, even if they do come, should we continue to conceal our strength?"

Xiao Fei suddenly interjected, "Dean Huo, let me say a few words."

Seeing Dean Huo Tianchen nod, Xiao Fei continued, "Actually, the Clear Sky Sect doesn't have any major problems. The Clear Sky Sect has just emerged from seclusion, and their previous foundations have basically been severed. Besides, the Clear Sky Sect's biggest opponent is the Spirit Empire. Back then, the Spirit Hall kept its promise and didn't continue to annihilate the Clear Sky Sect. Now, the Clear Sky Sect has rashly emerged from seclusion, which is tantamount to breaking its promise. In my estimation, the Spirit Empire will issue a statement soon."

"Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect supports the Heaven Dou Empire and is fighting against the Spirit Empire. The two sides are already locked in a life-or-death struggle. Our Elemental Academy has at least three Title Douluos and thousands of Soul Masters on the surface. It is true that the Clear Sky Sect wants to recruit us, but they probably don't have the guts to besiege us. Wouldn't that just let the Spirit Empire sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight?"

"Another aspect is that our Elemental Academy students come from diverse backgrounds, representing almost every social class and power. If the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall, or the Clear Sky Sect were to attack us rashly, they would offend a whole host of people."

After hearing Xiaofei's words, everyone felt much more at ease.

Xiao Fei was also somewhat speechless. Although the Haotian Sect was powerful, it was still somewhat inferior to the Elemental Academy. If they dared to attack rashly, they might not be able to return.

In particular, the elemental students have all kinds of configurations, including four types of titled Douluo: attack, defense, control, and flight. At worst, they can leave the Clear Sky Sect behind and make the number one sect in the world a joke.

As expected, five days later, the Haotian Sect sent people over.

When Xiao Fei arrived at the Dean's reception room, four people from the Haotian Sect were there. One of them was a burly middle-aged man who was sitting down, with a young man under 30 standing next to him. Behind them stood Titan and Bai He, who seemed to be in a bad mood.

All five deans were present, but Xiao Fei sensed that Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Liu Ruyan, for some unknown reason, were only displaying the aura of Soul Douluo.

Xiao Fei thought to himself: This ability is so good, it seems I need to learn it. This is a divine skill for pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Fei enter your room, he said with a hint of disdain, "What kind of hospitality does the Elemental Academy have? How come even a child is allowed in?" The middle-aged man couldn't sense the depth of Xiao Fei's strength.

The five deans fell silent, watching Xiao Fei quietly.

Xiao Fei was speechless for a moment: This group of old sixes actually fell silent at this moment.

Xiao Fei bowed to the middle-aged man: "Senior, I am Wang Xiaofei from the Elemental Academy. May I ask what brings you to the Elemental Academy?"

"You're Wang Xiaofei, a 24-year-old Title Douluo? You don't look like much!"

Xiao Fei was speechless: This person from Haotian Sect is probably a fool.

"Senior, you flatter me. In the eyes of the Haotian Sect, I am but a nobody. How could I possibly be worthy of your attention?" Xiao Fei said, ignoring the middle-aged man, and went straight to his seat.

The middle-aged man seemed somewhat displeased. Dean Huo Tianchen quickly said, "This distinguished guest from the Haotian Sect, may I ask what brings you to my Elemental Academy?"

"I am Tang Lie, the seventh elder of the Haotian Sect. The Po Clan and the Yu Clan are affiliated sects of my Haotian Sect. They actually joined the Elemental Academy. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Yang Wudi angrily said, "Tang Lie, how dare you bring up what happened back then? Back then, your Clear Sky Sect offended the Spirit Hall and went into seclusion, but you didn't care about the lives of our Breaking Clan and the Guardian Clan, causing us to be slaughtered by the Spirit Hall, with more than half of us killed or injured. Now, our two clans have nothing to do with your Clear Sky Sect anymore."

Niu Gao, standing next to him, nodded angrily.

Tang Lie said in a deep voice, "What happened back then caught our Haotian Sect off guard, and we hastily retreated into seclusion. Now, let our Haotian Sect return to the world. Naturally, your four clans must return to our Haotian Sect. Also, don't forget that without our descendants, our Haotian Sect would not be as powerful as your four clans are now."

Xiao Fei couldn't help but smile: "Senior Tang Lie, you are mistaken. Since your Haotian Sect abandoned the Po Clan and the Yu Clan 25 years ago, there is no reason for you to take them back now."

Tang Lie angrily said, "What do you know, child? In Douluo Continent, strength is paramount. Back then, our Haotian Sect was defeated and naturally retreated. Now that our Haotian Sect has emerged from seclusion, we are confident that we can regain the prestige of being the number one sect in the world."

Xiao Fei shook his head: "Senior Tang Lie, since you say that strength is paramount, then let's have a fight. If I win, the Po Clan and the Yu Clan will have no further connection with the Haotian Sect. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me."
