Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 56 Single-Attribute Family

Star Luo Empire, Dragon Rising City, the residence of the Yu Clan.

Niu Gao looked at the letter from Huo Tianchen, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, with a conflicted expression. Ever since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were attacked, Niu Gao had been tossing and turning at night. As a veteran of the Soul Master world, he knew very well that this was clearly the work of the Spirit Hall.

The Yu Clan and the Spirit Hall have a deep-seated conflict. Countless members of the Yu Clan died in the war years ago, and now that the Spirit Hall is beginning to exert its power over the world, it's possible they might target the Yu Clan at any time. Just then, Huo Tianchen, the Dean of the Elemental Academy, sent a letter inviting him to build a new Elemental City and to serve as the head of the Earth Department, concurrently holding the position of Vice Dean. He also promised to visit him personally soon.

It would be impossible for Niu Gao not to be tempted. On one hand, building a new city is a massive business deal, and his family could likely make a fortune. On the other hand, while the Yu Clan is renowned for its construction, its status in the Soul Master world isn't particularly high. Becoming the vice-principal of the Elemental Academy would be far more prestigious. Finally, it would provide him with a powerful backer. Moreover, he had clearly stated that he was free to come and go as he pleased. Especially since the Blazing Twin Stars were world-famous and possessed limitless potential, joining them now would undoubtedly bring him considerable benefits in the future.

However, Niu Gao was a little puzzled by the current attitude of the Element Academy, especially the newly released enrollment regulations. How could they enroll students without restricting their future plans?

Therefore, Niu Gao hesitated here, holding the letter.

Suddenly the door opened, startling Niu Gao, who quickly put the letter away. Seeing that it was Yang Wudi, he was speechless. How dare Yang Wudi barge into his house while he was out having some private business? Wasn't he afraid of stumbling upon something bad? But he couldn't get angry; after all, Yang Wudi was his brother.

Niu Gao hurriedly went to greet him: "You old goat, what brings you here today? Since you've come all this way, let's drink until we drop!"

Yang Wudi was a man of strong emotions and a heavy drinker, so he insisted on drinking first, and the two of them immediately set up a banquet.

After the two had drunk half their drinks, Niu Gao suddenly asked Yang Wudi, "Old Goat, what do you think of the recent events between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Yang Wuli shook his head: "It's obvious that the Spirit Hall was behind this. I just didn't expect that in just 20 years, their strength would have grown to this extent? These two organizations are not much weaker than the Clear Sky Sect. By the way, Old Rhino, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Niu Gao shook his head: "It's nothing, just a bit of a pity that the three great sects have all come to this end. By the way, what brings you to my Longxin City today? Did you run into trouble? With our relationship, what can't be resolved?"

Yang Wudi said, "It's nothing major. Huo Tianchen, the dean of the Elemental Academy, wrote to me, inviting me to serve as the head and vice dean of the Gengjin Department at the Elemental Academy. He also said he would visit me personally soon to discuss medicine with me. But I've never heard of Huo Tianchen knowing anything about medicine before."

Seeing Niu Gao's surprised expression, Yang Wu quickly asked, "Old Rhinoceros, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Niu Gao gave a wry smile, took out Huo Tianchen's letter, and handed it to Yang Wudi. Yang Wudi was speechless after reading the letter. "Let's drink first, why worry about anything else?"

Blazing Fire Academy is quite far from Dragon Rising City in the Star Luo Empire, a journey of more than half a month. Xiao Fei originally planned to cultivate at the academy, but Huo Wu insisted on going, so he went along too. Since the Divine Fire Sect, Xiao Fei and Huo Wu's relationship had become much closer. They no longer hesitated to hold hands in school, occasionally sneaking into the woods and kissing. This made the other students envious, while many others were heartbroken.

On the day they prepared to depart, the three first went to the dean's office. Unexpectedly, besides Huo Tianchen, Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy and Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy were also there. Originally, the plan was for four people to go, but it was changed to six, with Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er representing their respective academies to extend the invitations. Currently, Feng Xiaotian is level 61, while Shui Bing'er is level 56.

Level. Feng Xiaotian is 29 years old, and Shui Bing'er is 23, the same age as Huo Wu. In terms of cultivation speed and age, the two can be considered peerless geniuses, comparable to the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. (Here, it is set that Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu are the same age, and she participated in the Spirit Master Competition at the age of 18.)

Several years had passed, and Feng Xiaotian seemed to have grown a lot. For some reason, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu got along exceptionally well. The six of them traveled in two carriages, with five young people together and the dean traveling alone. Along the way, the five of them discussed cultivation issues and engaged in spirit battles, getting along very well. Xiao Fei, however, found it a bit strange that Feng Xiaotian didn't seem embarrassed at all playing around with the others.

Half a month later, the group finally arrived in Longxing City. For some reason, Yang Wudi was also in Longxing City.

Since it was a titled Douluo who came to invite them, Niu Gao and Yang Wudi gave Dean Huo Tianchen a grand welcome, personally greeting him at the city gate and then leading everyone to Niu Gao's residence.

Upon arriving at Niu Gao's residence, Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Dean Huo Tianchen sat together, while the five younger members of the family sat in lower positions. All other attendees, including some direct descendants of both clans, had been dismissed by Niu Gao.

Niu Gao said directly, "Dean Huo, I, Niu Gao, am a rough man. I'm good at architecture, but I'm completely clueless when it comes to teaching. I really don't understand why you're inviting me to be the vice principal and head of the Earth Department." Yang Wudi, who was standing next to him, also nodded. Yang Wudi was an expert in fighting and alchemy, but when it came to teaching, his fiery temper might not be enough.

Dean Huo Tianchen thought for a moment, then turned to Xiao Fei and said, "Xiao Fei, you should talk about the school's plans and the arrangements for the two clan leaders."

Xiao Fei quickly stood up and said, "Senior Niu, regarding the construction of the academy, our Elemental Academy mainly focuses on various elements. In the current continent, the Yu Clan is considered one of the best in understanding the earth element. After the Yu Clan joins the academy, there will be a dedicated area for the Earth element students to study. All subsequent students recruited by the Earth element will specialize in earth. Senior Niu will be in charge of all internal operations within the Earth element. However, all actions must be based on the academy's rules. As for teaching methods, Senior Niu can organize the group to compile teaching materials and then teach according to different classes. At the same time, the Genshin Impact Wind, Blazing Fire, and Heavenly Water academies will establish a teaching assistant team to help train the Yu Clan members on how to teach."

"In short, after joining the Elemental Academy, each department will be relatively independent, and communication between them will be absolutely equal. Any decision regarding the entire academy will require a vote from the five deans, with each vice dean having one vote and the dean having two votes. All decisions require five votes to be implemented."

"Of course, the Elemental Academy is solely for teaching purposes and does not participate in any power competition. Students are absolutely free after graduation, and the academy must not interfere with their choices. In short, the academy is a purely educational institution, not a sect."

……

After Xiao Fei finished speaking, he bowed to Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, then handed them a newly printed set of school rules. These rules were based on an outline provided by Xiao Fei, with the three deans then developing the details. The sole purpose of all this was to avoid involvement in any sect affairs.
