Chapter 60 Elemental City

Xiao Fei carefully observed his body and found that there was indeed a spherical core spinning rapidly in his dantian. During this high-speed rotation, it was simultaneously driving the circulation of soul power within his body. Xiao Fei estimated that the speed of soul power circulation in his body would be faster than before. Moreover, since the soul core was self-cultivating, the subsequent cultivation speed would be even faster, and the recovery of soul power would be quicker.

With the formation of his soul core, Xiao Fei could naturally draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to integrate into his body even without meditation, essentially being in a state of cultivation at all times. Without meditation, his cultivation speed would be much slower.

Xiao Fei felt that his soul power was slowly developing towards solidification, but since he was only a Soul Saint at the moment, his soul power was only in a liquid state and had not yet been completely solidified. He estimated that his soul power would be completely solidified only after he became a Title Douluo.

Of course, another advantage is that you will hardly encounter any bottlenecks before reaching the Title Douluo level.

After Xiao Fei finished condensing his first soul core, he explored the Divine Fire Tower for a while longer. He estimated that the Elemental Academy was about to hold its founding ceremony and opening ceremony, so he prepared to leave the Divine Fire Tower.

As soon as the gates of the Divine Fire Tower opened, Huo Wu rushed over, hugged Xiao Fei, and said, "Xiao Fei, how was your solo seclusion this time? Did you achieve your goal? I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, as if something was going to happen to you."

While stroking Huo Wu's hair, Xiao Fei said, "This seclusion was very successful. Although it was a bit dangerous, it achieved my goal. I will never experiment with anything recklessly again."

Huo Wu looked at Xiao Fei carefully: "I feel like there's something wrong with your body, but I don't know why. I feel like you've changed a lot this time."

Xiao Fei smiled and shook his head: "What changes could I possibly have? I just have a deeper understanding of my Martial Soul." The method of cultivating the Soul Core is not suitable for everyone. Normally, one only begins cultivating the Soul Core when they are close to level 90. Moreover, this was only Xiao Fei's first successful verification. It is not guaranteed that others will have such a high success rate. This time, Xiao Fei took a huge risk. Others do not have Xiao Fei's high-level head Soul Bone and physical attributes.

With the opening of the Elemental Academy fast approaching, Xiao Fei and his companions quickly returned to the Blazing Fire Academy. Surprisingly, however, the academy was nearly deserted. Only a few direct descendants of the Huo family and some fire elemental soul masters who had joined the family were present; even the academy's signboard had been taken down. They learned that the framework of Elemental City had been completed, and all the students had moved to the Elemental Academy within the city.

Left with no other choice, the three had to continue their journey to Elemental City.

The initial design of Element City was actually proposed by Xiao Fei, and then jointly developed by several deans. Element City has six walls, each 20 kilometers long, forming a regular hexagon. Each wall has a gate in its center. The central area of ​​the walls houses the academy's offices, where the deans and some other leaders work.

The five academic departments—Divine Wind, Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, Metal, and Earth—each occupy one side of the city wall, roughly one-sixth of the area. The remaining one-sixth is used to establish a botanical garden, with Yang Wudi temporarily serving as its director, while the Earth department (the Po clan) is responsible for managing the medicinal herb garden.

One Soul Saint, two Soul Emperors, three Soul Kings, and ten Soul Masters were selected from each of the five departments to form the Elemental Academy Security Department. Feng Heng, the former vice president of the Divine Wind Academy and a level 82 Soul Douluo, temporarily served as the department head, responsible for the academy's internal security, patrols, and discipline control.

Upon arriving at the Elemental Academy, Xiao Fei flew into the air to observe the entire academy's construction. Each department had a different architectural style. The Water Department built a large lake with classrooms and training grounds right in the center. The Fire Department drew magma from the earth's veins to create a small volcano. The Wind Department built all sorts of strange things specifically for training wind element mastery. The Metal and Earth Departments each built their own facilities according to their teaching needs.

Flying in the air, Xiao Fei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "As expected of a Soul Master, their construction ability is far superior to that of ordinary people. The Yu Clan is indeed skilled in construction, having built an entire city in just a few months."

Of course, this construction was led by the Yu clan, with students and teachers from various schools participating. A total of about 1000 Soul Masters were involved in the construction, especially when it came to building their own schools, where they devoted themselves wholeheartedly.

As soon as the three returned to the Elemental Academy, they were summoned to the dean's office in the very center.

To Xiao Fei's surprise, all five deans/vice deans were in the dean's office. Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er were also there, as were two unfamiliar young men, presumably the younger generation elites of the Breaking Clan and the Controlling Clan.

The deans seemed relieved to see Xiao Fei and his two companions return.

Dean Huo looked at Xiao Fei and the other two: "The opening ceremony for the academy's establishment is the day after tomorrow. Some people will be attending, including some rival groups with whom we have conflicts. We old folks will be the ones to receive the older generation, while you young people will be the ones to receive them together."

"Now that our five families have merged, we can say we have some strength, but overall, our strength is still insufficient. The Spirit Hall is led by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and the Golden Generation from back then will also be here. They will probably want to spar with you or regain their face from back then, so you should be a little more careful."

"Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo, and Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, will all be coming. We need to pay close attention to the conflict between the two. Our stance is to remain neutral, but we will not allow anyone to bully us either."

Xiao Fei thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Dean, it's been over five years since the last Soul Master Competition. Why haven't we heard any news about it being held again? Wasn't it supposed to be canceled?"

The five deans exchanged glances and smiled. "Ever since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School incident and the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the entire Soul Master world is in a state of fear. Many families have recalled their geniuses from the schools. It's safe to say that even if the Soul Master Competition were to be held, the number of participating geniuses would be fewer than in previous years. Also, Xiao Fei and Huo Wu are both within the age range for registering for the Soul Master Competition. In the eyes of outsiders, Huo Wu and Xiao Fei are already Soul Emperors. If they participate in the competition, the champion will basically be decided by us. The three major powers don't want us to keep winning."

"Therefore, the three major forces jointly issued a notice: In view of the turmoil in the Soul Master world, the Continental Soul Master Tournament will be suspended for one session and will resume in five years."

Xiao Fei was speechless and complained, "The Soul Master Competition didn't happen, and it's related to us? And judging from the current situation, it's not even certain that there will be a Soul Master Competition in five years?"
