Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 175 Gathering in Xingluo City

"Father, Uncle, the Spirit Empire has now occupied nearly 80% of the continent. What is their attitude towards the Elemental Academy? I don't believe they can tolerate the Elemental Academy's independence."

Tang San's words hit the nail on the head: no powerful force would tolerate the existence of another powerful force within its sphere of influence.

This time, it was Tang Xiao who spoke: "It seems that the Spirit Empire has not taken any attitude or measures towards the Elemental Academy. I heard that Bibi Dong went to the Elemental Academy, but there was no conflict between the two sides. In the current spirit master world, the Elemental Academy is like a pure land, peaceful and undisturbed by the world."

"Uncle, given Bibi Dong's personality, I don't believe she would allow the Elemental Academy to exist. It's just that she wants to unify the entire Douluo Continent first, and then deal with the Elemental Academy."

"But I find it strange. Given Wang Xiaofei's shrewdness, he couldn't possibly be unaware of Bibi Dong's plan. The fact that he still wants to remain neutral suggests either that he has his own plans or that he has already reached an agreement with the Spirit Empire."

Tang Xiao also shook his head: "Wang Xiaofei is indeed a strange person. Logically speaking, he was the first to become a god, and his strength was the strongest at that time."

"At the time, I communicated with Sect Master Ning and your teacher. If the Elemental Academy really wanted to remain neutral, it wouldn't normally allow us or the Spirit Empire to win so easily. But strangely, from beginning to end, it didn't take any measures. It neither stopped Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong of the Spirit Empire from becoming gods, nor did it stop the Spirit Empire from annihilating us. It seemed as if it had no intention of intervening in the war."

Tang San's gaze turned cold: "The only explanation is that the Elemental Academy had already reached an agreement with the Spirit Empire, and the Spirit Empire even put forward conditions that Wang Xiaofei could not refuse."

"Little San, what should we do now? Although you've become a god, the Spirit Empire has two gods. If we really fight, we'll probably be at a disadvantage."

At this moment, Dai Mubai, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Currently, all the forces resisting the Spirit Empire are basically staying in Star Luo City of the Star Luo Empire. Why don't we go to Star Luo City first? We can consider any subsequent plans later."

After discussing for a while, the group decided to go to Star Luo City, since Star Luo City was the only place to go at this stage if they wanted to fight against the Spirit Empire.

Otherwise, the only option is to return to Seagod Island. On the high seas, Tang San, relying on the advantages of the Seagod, may or may not be able to fight against two gods.

At this time, the Elemental Academy experienced a small surge in growth. Since the news of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo joining the Elemental Academy spread, many Soul Masters have flocked to it.

On the surface, there are only three forces in the entire Douluo Continent: the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire, which are at war, and the Elemental Academy, which has always maintained neutrality.

The Dean Huo Tianchen and the other deans were very troubled by the many Soul Masters who came to join the Elemental Academy, and Wang Xiaofei was not at the academy at the time.

However, in the end, the group chose some Soul Masters who had a good reputation in the Soul Master community, met the requirements of the Elemental Academy, and were willing to swear an oath to join the Elemental Academy with their Martial Soul.

The Elemental Academy is enveloped by Wang Xiaofei's divine power. After everyone swore an oath with their martial soul, they discovered that there was a force locking onto them in the dark. If they broke their oath, their martial soul would probably shatter just like the oath itself.

Of course, there were some unexpected surprises this time. Zhilin Soul Douluo, one of the original members of the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, also came to the Elemental Academy. After some communication, Zhilin Soul Douluo joined the Elemental Academy as the head of the botanical garden, and at the same time managed some newly joined wood-type soul masters. After the war ends, the academy will establish the Yi Wood (Plant) system.

Those who did not meet the admission requirements or had a poor reputation were directly rejected, as were some Soul Master families and nobles. In the Elemental Academy, there were only teachers and students; there were no nobles or such people.

Some Soul Masters who were unreasonable and refused to swear an oath to join were simply driven away.

A small number of Soul Masters regretted joining, and as a result, their Martial Soul shattered and they became crippled as soon as they broke their oath, turning from high-ranking Soul Masters into ordinary people.

After a series of measures, the Elemental Academy deterred many with ulterior motives, and the academy returned to peace.

Wang Xiaofei stayed in the City of Slaughter for a few days before leaving. Before leaving, Yang Wudi handed the Soul-Shattering Spear to Xiaofei, who then took it with him away from the City of Slaughter.

After a long journey, Tang San and his group finally arrived in Star Luo City a few days later.

At this time, Xingluo City was under complete lockdown, with over a million troops stationed within its walls. Armored soldiers were deployed across the city's walls and outposts. From the air, the entire city resembled a steel monster.

The city gates were closed, and a group of inspectors stood in front of them, receiving and checking the various scouts coming and going.

Tang San and his group arrived at the city gate. Dai Mubai immediately displayed the White Tiger Token, while Tang Xiao and the others showcased their Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and Title Douluo spirit ring configurations. Upon seeing the tokens, the inspectors promptly opened the city gates, allowing Dai Mubai and his group into the city, and then led them directly into the imperial palace.

The Emperor and Empress of the Star Luo Empire, along with their high-ranking officials, received Tang San and his entourage in the palace. While Tang San displayed the strength of the Sea God, Dai Mubai also demonstrated the strength of a level 93 Title Douluo.

The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire decisively ordered the abolition of Crown Prince Davis and the succession of Dai Mubai to the position of Crown Prince. At the same time, he appointed the Haotian Sect as the national guardian sect of the Star Luo Empire, allowing it to share the world with the royal family.

Immediately afterwards, the Silla Empire issued a conscription order, in the name of the Star Luo Empire royal family and the Sea God Tang San, to summon all the soul masters in the world to jointly resist the rule of the Spirit Empire. At the same time, scouts were sent to spread the news throughout the major cities of the Star Luo Empire, and even the Heaven Dou City sent people to spread the news.

Tang San then displayed his ten spirit rings and immense power above Star Luo City. Instantly, a thunderous roar erupted throughout Star Luo City, and the previously slightly low morale returned to its peak.

In a short time, many families and soul masters who harbored hatred towards the Spirit Empire led their people to Star Luo City. Especially for the soul masters who had lost loved ones in the war against the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire and the Sea God Tang San were now their only hope for revenge.

Meanwhile, what were Tang San and Tang Hao planning with their group? Although morale had improved, ultimately, strength would prevail, and the Spirit Empire's power had exceeded everyone's expectations.

Tang Hao was also quite worried: "Little San, although you've become a god now, we only have one god, while the Spirit Empire has two. If we let you fight two against one, we'll be in a very passive situation. What's more, the Spirit Empire also has more than ten Title Douluos."
