Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 57 Genius

Niu Gao and Yang Wudi carefully reviewed the school rules, then pondered for a moment and said, "These school rules are very detailed, but I still have two questions. First, according to these rules, it seems there's no benefit to our family's development. Second, according to the rules, the academy doesn't seem to have any money-making projects. How will we sustain everyone's cultivation in the future?"

Xiao Fei smiled: "Two clan leaders, we run an academy, not a sect. Teaching is paramount in the academy. Or rather, students are paramount. The academy's sole purpose is to cultivate students, which is the foundation of our independence and neutrality. Secondly, once the academy cultivates its students and builds a reputation, various people will seek cooperation. Both teachers and students in the academy are Soul Masters; making money isn't difficult, is it? For example, every year during enrollment, we recruit some students who don't meet the admission standards but come from wealthy families and admire the academy through sponsorship..."

"In short, as long as the academy has a reputation, money is not a problem."

Principal Huo Tianchen, who has managed the academy for many years, is certainly aware of the school's earning power. The Elemental Academy, with its excellent reputation, is a hidden tycoon in the Douluo Continent.

Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, two roughnecks, were stunned. Could it be that the academy really made that much money?

Dean Huo Tianchen was also a bit bewildered. How come he hadn't realized before that the academy had so many ways to make money?

In fact, Xiao Fei was simply referencing the operating methods of some universities from his previous life. You see, which university leader or professor isn't a hidden millionaire, worth tens of millions?

Yang Wudi snorted coldly: "The conditions offered by the Elemental Academy are quite good, but I have another requirement. If you can meet my requirements, the Breaking Clan will join the Elemental Academy without hesitation?"

Dean Huo Tianchen smiled and said, "Clan Chief Yang, you can just tell us what you need. As long as it's within our capabilities, we'll take care of it."

"Regardless, strength is the most important factor. You juniors should be the most outstanding talents in the Elemental Academy. How about I have a match with you juniors? You can choose two of you to team up. If you can last three incense sticks' time against me, I will join the Elemental Academy. What do you say? Recently, your Blazing Twin Stars have been hailed as peerless geniuses of the younger generation, comparable to the Haotian Twin Stars of yesteryear. I want to test whether the rumors are true."

Huo Wushuang remained calm, while Huo Wu was eager to try. Dean Huo Tiancheng laughed and said, "This is the Yu Clan's territory. We can't have a competition without Clan Chief Niu. How about we, the five juniors from our academy, learn from the two clan chiefs' skills, with three incense sticks as the wager?"

Yang Wudi said in a deep voice, "Dean Huo, you should think this through. When Old Rhino and I work together, one attacking and one defending, we can even defeat many Title Douluos."

Xiao Fei and his group of five exchanged glances, stood up, bowed to the two chiefs, and said, "Chief Yang, Chief Niu, we five would like to ask for your guidance."

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao exchanged a glance, then said, "Very well, let us two see the strength of you juniors."

The reason Dean Huo Tianchen wanted to invite Niu Gao along was to get Niu Gao to make a decision as soon as possible, and also to showcase the potential of the Elemental Academy.

The eight of them walked to the Soul Arena in the backyard of the Broken Clan. Xiao Fei and the other five huddled together discussing tactics, while Yang Wudi and Niu Gao seemed indifferent, simply waiting quietly.

Five minutes later, the five had finalized their tactics. The dean took out three incense sticks, waved his hand, and inserted them into the bronze dome beside him, then said, "Both sides, unleash your Martial Souls." The dean himself acted as the referee on the sidelines. The five gradually revealed their Martial Souls and their levels.

"Shui Bing'er, Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix, Level 57 Control-type Battle Soul King." Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, and one black.

"Feng Xiaotian, Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, Level 61 Power Attack-type Soul Emperor." Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, and two black.

"Huo Wushuang, Martial Soul: Unicorn Firestorm Dragon, Level 72 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Saint." Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, and three black.

"Fire Dance, Martial Soul Fire Shadow, Level 73 Control-type Battle Soul Saint." Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, and three black.

"Wang Xiaofei, Martial Soul Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix, Level 74 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Saint." Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, two black, and one red.

"Thank you for your guidance, seniors!"

After the five revealed their martial souls and spirit rings, the other two secretly swallowed hard. What kind of monsters were these? Clearly, they were all under 30, and apart from Feng Xiaotian, the others were all under 25. A 25-year-old Soul Saint? Where did these monsters come from, and several of them at that? Especially after Xiao Fei revealed his seventh spirit ring, he immediately felt immense pressure.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao exchanged a glance, then summoned their martial spirits. Clearly, there was a hint of seriousness in their eyes; they might just be in for a surprise attack today.

"Yang Wudi, Martial Soul: Soul-Breaking Spear, Level 82 Power Attack Type Soul Douluo." Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, and four black.

"Niu Gao, Martial Soul Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, Level 84 Defense-type Soul Douluo." Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, and four black.

Dean Huo Tianchen, who was standing nearby, snapped his fingers, and one of the incense sticks began to burn.

The seven instantly activated their martial spirits. Feng Xiaotian immediately transformed his soul power into wings and flew into the sky. Xiao Fei, on the other hand, chose to transform into a phoenix, his entire body becoming a phoenix. Considering that the two girls behind him were control-type characters, Xiao Fei and Huo Wushuang had to take on the role of offensive characters, enduring the two Soul Douluos.

Suddenly, Shui Bing'er activated her first soul skill, "Ice Seal," instantly freezing the two Soul Douluos. However, they broke free of the ice in just a moment. Huo Wu's Hokage immediately followed.

Wang Xiaofei immediately used Phoenix Transformation, transforming his entire body into a fiery phoenix and attacking Yang Wudi directly. Meanwhile, Huo Wushuang activated his Martial Soul and attacked Niu Gao.

Xiao Fei's five-person strategy was for Xiao Fei to fight Yang Wudi alone, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Feng Xiaotian to gang up on Niu Gao, and Shui Bing'er to control the situation, trying to separate Yang Wudi and Niu Gao and prevent them from cooperating.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao were surprised to see Xiao Fei transformed into a phoenix. "A dragon transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? And he can transform into a phoenix at only level 70."

Yang Wudi immediately used his third soul skill: Explosion. A powerful explosive sensation shot through Xiao Fei's arm, instantly sending him staggering back five meters. The single-target attack of the Soul-Shattering Spear was indeed formidable. Just as Yang Wudi was about to speak, another wave of icy power enveloped him. Clearly, it was Shui Bing'er's attack again.

As the person with the lowest soul power level in the entire arena, Shui Bing'er was far inferior to the two Soul Douluos. If she faced them alone, she probably wouldn't even be able to withstand the pressure from the two of them. Therefore, the only option was to control the field from the outside and launch a sneak attack.

Yang Wudi shattered the ice layer instantly. At the same time, Xiao Fei flew over quickly and activated his third and fourth soul skills: "Phoenix Flame Claws." His hands transformed into even sharper claws, greatly increasing his speed and power, and then he swiftly grabbed at Yang Wudi's left shoulder. Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear immediately blocked Xiao Fei's attack. Xiao Fei and Yang Wudi attacked back and forth with claws and spears, seemingly unable to defeat each other in the short term.

Shui Bing'er focused all her energy on Niu Gao. A huge block of ice instantly froze Niu Gao. This was Shui Bing'er's fourth soul skill: Absolute Ice Domain. Originally a group control skill, it was now all applied to Niu Gao. Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian instantly attacked Niu Gao.
