Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 181, Page 179: The Elemental Academy Enhancement Plan

With this in mind, Wang Xiaofei began to formulate a series of plans to improve the academy.

First, all members of the Yu clan and all students of the Xu Earth Academy were instructed to build a small hill in the center of the academy. The entire hill was constructed of stone, with a four-cornered shape, somewhat resembling a pyramid. In the center of the pyramid was a large open space, which was then excavated directly into the ground, breaking through the earth's veins to form a volcano-like structure.

At the top of the pyramid was a large palace, and in the center of the palace was a phoenix statue that was hundreds of meters long and wide. The entire statue was made of meteorite copper.

Then, using divine power, the statue was integrated with the entire pyramid. This had several advantages. First, the divine power of the meteorite statue could be replenished later using the power of the earth's veins, ensuring a continuous supply of earth's vein power even without Wang Xiaofei. This was also possible because Wang Xiaofei absorbed the primordial energy of Douluo Star.

Secondly, the four sides of the pyramid resemble the staircase of the sea god's light, which can be used by the core disciples of the inner court for cultivation.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiaofei began to study how to use divine power to create divinely bestowed soul rings. The former Sea God could give so many divinely bestowed soul rings, so it was impossible for him not to be able to research it himself.

Just as Wang Xiaofei was leading everyone to study the sword mark on their hands, Tang San returned to Star Luo City.

In Star Luo City, in a mansion personally bestowed upon Tang San and his group by the Star Luo Emperor, the Shrek Seven Devils and several members of the Clear Sky Sect gathered in a secret room, with Tang San sitting in the center.

Tang San was clearly not in good spirits at the moment, and he had several large wounds on his body. The most serious wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and there were even traces of flames burning inside the wound.

Tang Hao was a little worried: "Xiao San, what happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?"

"Dad, the injuries on my body were caused by Wang Xiaofei."

"Wang Xiaofei? Why did he hurt you?"

So Tang San recounted in detail everything that had happened at his Elemental Academy.

Everyone present was stunned.

"Dad, Wang Xiaofei's strength far exceeded my expectations. Even though I used all my strength to injure him, he could recover instantly. I have never seen such terrifying strength before. I'm afraid his strength is already above Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. If it weren't for the sword light that came from the sky at the end, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back."

Tang Xiao's face darkened as he said, "According to you, Wang Xiaofei's strength actually far surpasses that of others, and he was the first to become a god. What kind of conspiracy does he have?"

Tang San shook his head: "Uncle, I don't know the specifics either, but what's certain is that Wang Xiaofei's purpose is definitely not that simple. He doesn't care at all whether we win or the Spirit Empire wins."

"We originally thought that the Spirit Empire was the strongest, while the Elemental Academy and we were relatively weaker. But now it has been proven that our guess was completely wrong. It is clear that the Elemental Academy of the Elemental Empire is the strongest, and we and the Spirit Empire are both weaker than it."

Tang Xiao spoke again: "If that's the case, Bibi Dong must have known Wang Xiaofei's strength, which is why she couldn't deal with the Elemental Academy."

"Logically speaking, in a three-way battle, the two weaker sides would often unite to deal with the stronger side, just like when the three upper sects of ours united against the Spirit Hall. But our Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Empire have such deep-seated grudges that even if we both know that Wang Xiaofei may have ill intentions, we probably can't unite."

"Uncle, based on my conversation with Wang Xiaofei, he doesn't seem to be opposed to surrendering to either us or the Martial Soul Empire. Regardless of which side he chooses, his requirement is to win the war and maintain absolute independence. This way, neither side will dare to offend him too much."

Tang Xiao shook his head: "This Wang Xiaofei is incredibly cunning. No matter which side attacks him, he can immediately cooperate with the other side, making him practically invincible."

"Xiao San, based on your fight with Wang Xiaofei, how strong do you think he is? Are you confident you can beat him on the high seas?"

Tang San pondered for a moment: "I don't know exactly how strong Wang Xiaofei is. When we fought him, it seemed like he wasn't using his full strength."

"Wang Xiaofei is outstanding in speed, strength, fire, recovery ability and adaptability. I have never seen anyone who can train in all aspects to such an exaggerated degree, not to mention that he did not even use any divine artifacts from beginning to end."

"His speed is so great that even I, with my Golden Thirteen Halberds' Unpredictable Wind and Waves technique, have a hard time keeping up with him, and he has injured me many times with his speed."

"In terms of strength, he was actually able to withstand my [Great Sumeru Hammer, Sky-Piercing Strike]. Keep in mind that I destroyed nine 10-year soul rings back then, but he was still able to withstand it."

"As for fire, even if I use the entire river and the Golden Thirteen Halberds, he can instantly vaporize me with his Phoenix Flames."

"What's most terrifying is his adaptability and recovery ability. Even when I use the final form of the Golden Thirteen Halberds—[Ragnarok]—he can still take timely measures and recover quickly."

"The strangest thing is that his entire right hand can turn golden yellow, and its strength and hardness are exaggerated. It's somewhat similar to my Xuan Yu Hand. My Great Sumeru Hammer was blocked by him with his right hand. If my teacher were here, he might be able to explain it to me."

After hearing these words, everyone present fell silent. This was a terrifying opponent with almost no weaknesses.

Finally, Tang Hao spoke up: "Xiao San, you made a bet with Wang Xiaofei, and you should have lost the Trident of Poseidon. Do you think he might try to take it away by force? Also, if we get to the sea and you use the power of the vast ocean, are you confident you can defeat Wang Xiaofei?"

"Dad, I don't know either. Although he was blocked by the sword light, he clearly still had the strength to pursue me, but he didn't move at all. It was as if he didn't care that I left. Even when we got to the sea, I used the power of the vast ocean, but Wang Xiaofei's flames seemed to be very effective against me."

Finally, Tang Xiao spoke: "Xiao San, you need to recover your strength as soon as possible, and even increase it. Judging from the current movements of the Spirit Empire, they estimate that they can occupy the entire Heaven Dou Empire in just half a month. At that time, they can concentrate all their forces to fight us in Star Luo City. That means we have at most one month to prepare and improve our own strength, and at least half a month."

At this moment, Tang Chen, who had remained silent until now, spoke up: "Although Wang Xiaofei is powerful, he still has some reservations. According to what you just said, it was a sword light that stopped Wang Xiaofei. I estimate that the sword light was caused by the Asura God."

"I didn't quite understand why Wang Xiaofei would expend divine power to save me before? Now I understand a little. He probably always feared the God of Asura."

Tang Shan asked with some surprise, "Asura God? Great-grandfather, what exactly is an Asura God?"

"The Asura God is one of the most powerful gods in the divine realm. He is the master of slaughter and his strength far surpasses that of the Sea God and the Angel God. The City of Slaughter is the place where the Asura God inherits his legacy. I had already reached the eighth level of the Asura God test, but unfortunately I still failed in the end."

"Although I don't know why the God of Asura wants to protect you, since he has protected you this time, he won't let you perish easily. So, Xiao San, you don't need to worry too much."
