Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 142 War Breaks Out, the Elemental Academy's Attitude

While Xiao Fei and his seven friends were training in the Ice God Palace, the Shrek Seven Devils were in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dai Mubai actually broke through to level 80 in the Star Dou Great Forest, becoming the second of the seven Shrek Seven to reach the Soul Douluo level or above.

With the combined efforts of everyone, they obtained a decent 7-year-level soul ring, and their soul power increased to level 81.

However, when the Shrek Seven returned to Heaven Dou City, everything seemed to have changed drastically.

First of all, the Clear Sky Sect has actually emerged from seclusion, and they even intend to forcibly recall the Power Clan and the Agility Clan. It seems that the entire Tang Sect is trending towards becoming an appendage of the Clear Sky Sect. If Tang Xiao and Tang Hao hadn't been constantly mediating, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Baihe and Titan also seemed to harbor considerable resentment, having not only completely broken with their old brothers but also facing the detestable Haotian Sect.

Tang San fought a battle with several elders of the Clear Sky Sect. Both sides fought with considerable restraint, and with the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao mediating, the battle ended in a draw, with neither side gaining a significant advantage.

Ultimately, the Tang Sect and the Clear Sky Sect maintained a delicate relationship, neither confirming a subordinate relationship nor being able to completely sever ties. Furthermore, the Tang Sect's strength was significantly weaker than in the original story.

Secondly, Tang San learned that the King of Slaughter was actually his grandfather, Tang Chen, the former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, and one of the three peerless Douluo in the world. Tang San desperately wanted to rescue his great-grandfather, which would both strengthen the Clear Sky Sect and eliminate a major scourge (the Slaughter City in Tang San's eyes). However, he didn't have any good ideas for the time being.

Third, according to what Poseidon, the Sea God, had privately said, the Heart of the Sea God, which was required for the eighth trial of the Sea God, was on Shui Bing'er. However, Shui Bing'er went out on a training trip with Wang Xiaofei and the other seven, and there was no trace of her at all.

Finally, the war between the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Empire had already begun on the front lines. However, the Elemental Academy still intended to remain neutral. Located deep within the Heaven Dou Empire's territory, the Elemental Academy was vulnerable to betrayal, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Since Tang Hao's last visit, Tang Hao has discovered that Wang Xiaofei's strength is probably no weaker than his own. Now, almost all the high-level personnel know that Wang Xiaofei may be the real mastermind of the Elemental Academy. However, Wang Xiaofei is nowhere to be seen, and Dean Huo Tiancheng has been dodging the issue. The various forces do not dare to put too much pressure on him and can only watch as the Elemental Academy reaps the benefits.

After Tang San and his group returned to Heaven Dou City, they felt that nothing seemed to be going well.

However, they had no choice. He was already the Blue King of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire was fully supporting the development of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. The seven of them had no choice but to take the Tang Sect with them to the front lines. Fortunately, Tang Hao was accompanied by two elders of the Clear Sky Sect, which actually strengthened the Heaven Dou Empire.

After three months of training in the Vulcan Tower, apart from Xiaofei, Huowu, and Huowushuang, the others didn't seem to have made much progress. The place seemed somewhat pointless for them.

So everyone decided to return to the Elemental Academy first. Besides, they had been away from home for more than half a year, and the outside world was not peaceful. They would consider cultivation after returning home.

In order to return to the Elemental Academy quickly, instead of traveling at full speed, Xiao Fei directly summoned his martial soul, the Fire Phoenix, and everyone stood on the back of the Fire Phoenix.

As expected of one of the fastest soul beasts in the world, the Fire Phoenix returned to the Elemental Academy in just a day and a half.

Back at the Elemental Academy, watching the students diligently studying, either challenging each other or training hard, the seven finally felt at home. Even Yang Pojun and Niu Meng had completely come to regard the Elemental Academy as their own home.

Of all the seven people who have changed, the one who was happiest was Dean Liu Yan.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao looked at their son, who had reached the Soul Douluo level, and had an expression that said their little brat had finally grown up.

Now, the Elemental Academy's strength has reached an unprecedented level, with 11 people at the Title Douluo level, and Dean Huo Tianchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The five deans, along with Huo Lie, the father-in-law, gathered together with Xiao Fei and his group of seven. This group essentially comprised the backbone and future pillars of the Elemental Academy.

Dean Huo Tianchen described in detail some recent major events, including the outbreak of war between the two great empires and the Martial Soul Empire.

The war is still in its early stages and is far less brutal than depicted in the original story; at least neither side has yet suffered the loss of a Title Douluo.

Dean Huo Tianchen looked at Xiao Fei seriously: "Now that war has broken out, should our Elemental Academy take any action? Both sides are trying to win us over, and some are even threatening us. Especially the Heavenly Dou Empire, since we are located in the heart of the Heavenly Dou Empire."

He glanced at everyone, then gently shook his head: "Although the war has begun, it is far from reaching a fierce stage."

"Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect is stationed in Heaven Dou City with three Title Douluos. There is no news from Qian Daoliu and the several elders of the Spirit Hall. Even now, a full-scale war has not broken out, and Bibi Dong, the emperor of the Spirit Empire, has not really made a move."

"That means both sides still have resources and strength. It's far from the time for us to intervene."

"I don't even want the Elemental Academy to get involved in the war. The Elemental Academy is just for teaching; watching the students grow is what makes me happiest. And we Title Douluos are only here to protect our academy, not to drag our students into the war."

Everyone present fell silent. It was a pity to possess such great strength yet be unable to participate in the battle.

Finally, Yang Wudi broke the silence: "Since our Breaking Clan joined the Elemental Academy, we have never regretted it. Although the Breaking Clan are warriors, we prefer a peaceful life."

"I, Yang Wudi, strive to become stronger, not to participate in their so-called war, but to protect my family, and now, to protect our academy. My Po clan will only participate in wars to defend the academy."

"Anyone who wants to deal with our academy must first step over the affairs of my Broken Clan."

"My royal family is the same."

"My department at Tianshui University is the same."

"My Kamikaze Department is the same."

Dean Huo Tianchen observed everyone's attitude and declared, "My Blazing Fire Department, and my Huo family, will continue to protect the academy with all our might."

Clearly, through everyone's statements, it's clear that everyone's goal is the same: not to participate in this war, but only to protect the academy.

In the days that followed, Xiao Fei lived a relatively leisurely life. Wearing an ordinary school uniform, he would stroll around the academy every day, attracting admiring glances from a group of students each time.

Of course, he also took advantage of this rare moment of leisure to sneak into the place where Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were resting and spar with them.

Xiao Fei even found it a bit strange: the two of them clearly knew about each other's existence, yet there was no sign of jealousy at all.

On the contrary, the two have a very good relationship and often go shopping together, just like sisters.
