Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 63 Master Yu Xiaogang

To Wang Xiaofei's surprise, the dean then received the three members of the Golden Iron Triangle. After all, the Golden Iron Triangle had two Soul Douluos and could form a Martial Soul Fusion Device, making them quite powerful. The dean and his companions probably didn't want to offend them too much.

Flander, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong entered, led by someone. Wang Xiaofei stepped forward and bowed to Yu Xiaogang: "Master Yu Xiaogang, it's been a long time. You look much more haggard; you need to take care of yourself."

After all, Xiao Fei had consulted Yu Xiaogang about theoretical knowledge at the Notting Soul Master Academy. Whatever the reason, basic respect should still be shown.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "My physical ailment is a psychological one, there's nothing I can do about it. Xiaofei, you seem to be in good spirits right now, it seems you really did choose a good academy back then."

Xiao Fei smiled and nodded: "In any case, I still have to thank the master."

Next came the communication between the Golden Iron Triangle and Dean Huo Tianchen and his group. As Xiao Fei expected, their main hope was that the Elemental Academy would form an alliance with Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Empire to jointly fight against the Spirit Hall, but Dean Huo Tianchen refused.

Dean Huo Tianchen stated directly, "You should have read the rules of my Elemental Academy. My Elemental Academy only teaches and educates students and will not participate in any sect conflicts."

Yu Xiaogang said somewhat excitedly, "Why are you all only thinking about sweeping the snow from your own doorstep? The Spirit Hall has continuously destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, committing numerous evils. Now we can only fight against them by uniting, otherwise the Spirit Hall will rule the entire continent in the future."

Dean Huo Tianchen simply said coldly, "What does this have to do with our Elemental Academy?"

Yu Xiaogang and the other two were speechless.

Wang Xiaofei thought for a moment, then sighed and stepped forward, saying, "Three deans, would you mind if I said something?"

Flander nodded: "Wang Xiaofei, please go ahead."

Xiao Fei said in a deep voice, "Three deans, I know about your hatred for the Spirit Hall, but for our Elemental Academy, whether it is the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, they are all the same to us."

Yu Xiaogang said excitedly, "How could they be the same? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—" At this point, Yu Xiaogang couldn't continue, because he didn't know what the relationship was between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall, or what the differences were.

Xiao Fei continued, "Yes! Whether it's the Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, to us they're just powerful sects or organizations. Aside from that, there's no difference."

"I know you're thinking of the Spirit Hall destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and crippling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. But tell me, haven't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School destroyed any other sects or organizations? As far as I know, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan destroyed quite a few dragon-attribute families or sects. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I think everyone should know about the Nine Heart Begonia Clan."

Xiao Fei turned to the deans and said, "Dean Huo, Dean Feng, Dean Liu, Thunder Academy has long been referred to as the Elemental Academy along with our academy. You must have had a lot of interaction with Thunder Academy before. What impressions do you have of Thunder Academy?"

The three deans exchanged glances, and finally Dean Feng spoke up: "Although we used to be collectively known as the Elemental Academy, the three of us didn't really get along with Thunder Academy and Elephant Armor Academy. Thunder Academy, backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, is extremely domineering. To put it simply, even in the simplest Soul Battle, there's no such thing as fairness. If a student from Thunder Academy is seriously injured, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has intervened many times. One of our disciples seriously injured a Thunder Academy student in a Soul Battle, and as a result, his Soul was subsequently crippled."

This is actually one of the reasons why the Elemental Academy was established without inviting the Thunder Academy.

Xiao Fei continued, "As for what you said about good and evil, Master, I disagree even more. My spirit was awakened with the help of the Spirit Hall. Before I graduated from Notting Academy, I received a monthly stipend from the Spirit Hall. It was these stipends that helped me through the early difficulties of life. So, in every respect, the Spirit Hall has made a certain contribution to the general public, especially to ordinary students like us from the Elemental Academy. I personally feel that I owe the Spirit Hall a favor."

After speaking, Xiao Fei bowed to the three of them and returned to his seat.

Xiao Fei said all this mainly to make the deans of the Elemental Academy understand that the struggle between the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects is just a sect conflict, and has nothing to do with justice or evil. They should not be fooled into fighting against the evil Spirit Hall one day, otherwise they would be in trouble with the entire Elemental Academy.

Yu Xiaogang and his two companions talked with the deans for a while, but ultimately left disappointed.

After the three left, Dean Huo Tianchen said to Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, was what you just said to those three your whole thought?"

Xiao Fei shook his head and said, "Fifty-fifty! I don't have any good feelings towards these sects, nor towards the Spirit Hall. But our strength is still insufficient right now, so we can only try not to offend either side. If you give Elemental Academy 20 years, or even just 10 years, we will not fear any person or force."

The other deans nodded in agreement. If the Elemental Academy were given 20 years, it would have at least three more Title Douluos, and possibly five or even more.

At the same time, a guard knocked on the door and entered Xue Qinghe's room.

Xue Qinghe sat there and said calmly, "How's it going? How's the communication between the Golden Iron Triangle and the Elemental Academy?"

The guard bowed and said, "Your Highness, since Huo Tianchen is a Title Douluo, I dare not get too close. Yu Xiaogang and the other two looked very dejected when they left, as if they had suffered a great blow. It seems that the Elemental Academy has not been won over."

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "They're quite sensible."

The Elemental Academy's next meeting consisted of unimportant individuals, none of whom were particularly powerful or influential. Xiao Fei and his group of seven were about to leave when Yang Wudi stopped them just as they stepped out the door.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, two rough men, received three groups of people today. They felt more tired than fighting three life-or-death battles. The two of them decisively left and pushed all the remaining reception work to the other three deans, leaving Dean Huo and the other two speechless.

Yang Wudi stopped Wang Xiaofei and his two companions: "Xiaofei, I remember when you invited me to the Elemental Academy, you said it was to discuss the art of alchemy. I noticed that the others don't seem to know much about it. I wonder when you'd be free to come and discuss it with me?" Clearly, Yang Wudi knew that Xiaofei had provided Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang with the high-grade medicinal herbs they possessed. As a medicine fanatic, Yang Wudi was naturally extremely engrossed in this pursuit.

Those around them pricked up their ears, as this was the first time they had ever heard of a celestial-grade medicinal herb. The extraordinary nature of celestial-grade herbs, in particular, placed the three of them far above their peers.

Xiao Fei looked at Yang Wudi and said, "Dean, are you sure you want to discuss the art of alchemy with me here?"

"Of course not here. Let's go to my alchemy room; it's safer and more secluded there."

Then Yang Wudi led Xiao Fei, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang to his alchemy room, leaving everyone standing there dumbfounded, including his grandson Yang Pojun.

No wonder he's a medicine fanatic.
