Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 144 Wang Xiaofei and Tang San's Meeting

Both sides seemed to fall into silence.

Tang San suddenly said, "Xiao Fei, can I ask you a question?"

"We're all classmates, so feel free to speak your mind."

"Where did you get this Qiluo Tulip Fairy variety? And why do you know about the Qiluo Tulip Fairy variety?"

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "I obtained this Qiluo Tulip Immortal by chance in Sunset Forest. As for why I know it, it's because our academy's vice dean, Yang Wudi, comes from a family of alchemists. I often exchanged alchemy knowledge with him, which is how we became acquainted."

"By the way, Yang Wudi was originally the patriarch of the Po clan. The Po clan is quite famous on the continent for its alchemy."

"Was the place you went to filled with poisonous formations, with two springs, one red and one blue, that ordinary people couldn't get close to?"

"Yes, it seems to be such a place. I remember that according to the records passed down in Dean Yang's family, the place is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."

Tang San seemed to grit his teeth: "That's the home of Dugu Bo, the Lone Douluo."

"I don't know about that. When I went there, the place was extremely dangerous, with very strong poison gas. And it didn't look like anyone had ever lived there."

"Given the age of the Qiluo Tulip Fairy, it should be over ten thousand years old. It shouldn't be something that humans could have grown. Moreover, there are no signs of transplantation or planting around it."

Xiao Fei sipped his tea and spoke casually, as if nothing was wrong.

"Well then, since you say that's Poison Douluo's home, could we invite Senior Poison Douluo to our Elemental Academy for a meeting? It's better to clarify some things face to face."

Tang San was still a little unwilling to give up: "Do you still have any of those immortal herbs from inside?"

Xiao Fei shook his head: "We've basically used them all up."

"You've used them all up? Since you know they're magical herbs, you should know their value."

"Those immortal herbs might be priceless in the eyes of those who know them, but to those who don't, they might not even be worth as much as weeds. Moreover, many of them are poisonous. Senior Poison Douluo didn't pick them himself, so he obviously didn't know their value."

The conversation seemed to fall silent again. After quite some time, Tang San spoke up again: "May I pass this on to Senior Poison Douluo? I hope you can give Senior Poison Douluo a satisfactory answer."

"Of course, there's nothing that can't be discussed, right? But Senior Poison Douluo had better come over soon. I might have to go out again in ten days."

Xiao Fei thought to himself: What could Poison Douluo possibly know about immortal herbs? Once he gets to the Elemental Academy, he'll be completely at my mercy. Besides, nobody knows about the truly valuable things in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. I doubt a mere Title Douluo like him can cause any trouble.

Furthermore, using the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire as the place of inheritance for the Elemental Academy is not bad.

Tang San seemed to have made up his mind: "I intend to rescue my grandfather and destroy the City of Slaughter. What do you think?"

"Then I wish you every success. But since the City of Slaughter exists, it must have its purpose."

Tang San was a little angry: "What's the point of a place like the Slaughter City, which is full of evil? Besides, it's obvious that the Spirit Empire is colluding with it."

Xiao Fei shook his head and sighed, "You've been to Slaughter City, you should know it's full of vicious criminals. Isn't it better to keep them locked up there? What if Slaughter City is destroyed, and the people inside are released and harm ordinary people? Who will deal with them then?"

"Although I don't have much affection for the Spirit Hall, at least they have made contributions in the fight against evil spirit masters. If anyone tries to use these evil spirit masters to harm the people, I will never allow it." After saying this, Xiao Fei's expression became much more serious, and everyone present felt his killing intent.

"Although our Elemental Academy does not support any power struggles, we will still lend a hand when we encounter evil spirit masters who harm the people."

This was Xiao Fei's first statement, but it was clearly not what the Shrek Seven wanted.

"Xiao Fei, what do you think of this war? The Spirit Empire is too ambitious. Once they win, I'm afraid your Elemental Academy will also be hard-pressed to escape unscathed."

"You don't need to worry about that. The Elemental Academy's position has long been clear: we only teach and nurture students and will not participate in any power struggles."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong seemed agitated: "The Spirit Empire destroyed our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. They are sinners in the Soul Master world. Your Elemental Academy clearly has the strength, so why do you always try to stay out of it?"

Xiao Fei turned to look at Ning Rongrong and gently shook his head: "Miss Ning, I understand how you feel. But to me, this is just a struggle between different forces, nothing more."

"Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, or even the Clear Sky School, have they never bullied other families or forces?"

"The rise of any power is built on piles of bones, it's just a matter of whether it's their own bones or the bones of others."

Dai Mubai, the oldest and most composed of the Shrek Seven Devils, spoke up: "Dean Wang Xiaofei, the students of the Elemental Academy come from various factions. Aren't you afraid that divisions and conflicts will arise among the students? Also, can you guarantee that you will always remain independent?"

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Dai Mubai, I remember you are a prince of the Star Luo Empire. My Elemental Academy also has students from the Star Luo Empire, and I treat all students equally. While in the academy, one must abide by the rules of my Elemental Academy. And after students graduate and leave the Elemental Academy, their choices will never be interfered with by the Elemental Academy."

"If anyone tries to get involved in these power struggles during their time at the academy, whether they are a teacher or a student, I will personally expel them from the Elemental Academy."

At this point, everyone understood the Elemental Academy's stance, and the conversation was nearly over.

Xiao Wu suddenly asked, "Xiao Fei, how did you know Bibi Dong would go to hunt down Da Ming and Er Ming?"

"Sister Xiaowu, I haven't congratulated you on your recovery yet. As for the matter of Da Ming and Er Ming, I just mentioned it casually. Everyone knows that Bibi Dong has twin martial souls. However, her second martial soul's soul rings are not yet complete. The Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are recognized as 100,000-year-old soul beasts, well-known soul beast emperors. No one can resist them."

"Besides, I have some questions I want to ask them, so I guess I need their help. That's why I'm trying to build a good relationship with them in advance."

Xiao Wu asked, a little puzzled, "What do you want to ask Da Ming and Er Ming? Asking me is just as good."

Xiao Fei shook his head: "Sister Xiao Wu, do you know Di Tian?"

"Di Tian? Is that a person's name? I've never heard of him before." Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

Xiao Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Besides being pretty, I really don't know what else this silly rabbit has to offer."

The two sides continued talking for a while, but it seemed they hadn't reached an agreement on anything, so the seven Shrek members said goodbye and left.

As soon as they stepped out of the Elemental Academy, Ma Hongjun asked, "Third Brother, how did Wang Xiaofei manage to do that attack?" The other five also looked at Tang San with puzzled expressions.

Tang San's face was solemn: "I don't know how he did it either, I can't even sense how strong he is. I suspect his strength is far beyond our imagination. Moreover, when we met just now, I discovered that Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, and Shui Bing'er are all already Title Douluo."

Everyone was horrified upon hearing this.

Ning Rongrong then asked, "Third Brother, can the Qiluo Tulip Immortal Herb really evolve a Martial Soul?"

"It should be possible, otherwise Emperor Xueye wouldn't have agreed to exchange it for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. It's a pity that Qian Renxue got it for free."
