Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 67 Immortal Herb

Xiao Fei didn't use his Soul Bone skill during this injury. Xiao Fei felt that he needed to become stronger because he lacked failure, pressure, and lessons learned through bloodshed.

Moreover, Xiao Fei recalled a saying: "Either be reborn in destruction, or perish in destruction." Xiao Fei lay on the bed, carefully experiencing the changes in his body. He felt his wounds gradually healing, and felt that under the influence of a trace of soul power, his blood vessels seemed to be gradually becoming unblocked.

These past few days, Huo Wu moved in to take care of Xiao Fei, which surprised and delighted him. Xiao Fei fully recovered in less than 5 days.

Surprisingly, Xiao Fei, having just recovered, immediately challenged Vice Dean Niu Gao, leading to another fierce battle. Niu Gao's defense seemed to drive Xiao Fei to despair; he tried every possible method to break through Niu Gao's defenses, ultimately resulting in both of them being severely injured. Xiao Fei was seriously wounded once again.

And so, Xiao Fei has been spending his time recovering from his injuries, facing challenges, getting seriously injured, and then recovering again. He has challenged several deans. The most difficult one to fight was actually Dean Liu Ruyan. Water and fire are supposed to be mutually restraining, but Liu Ruyan's understanding of water is clearly stronger than Xiao Fei's. Moreover, she can take advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Water Link is surrounded by water, making things extremely difficult for Xiao Fei.

Dean Huo Tianchen was even more terrifying. His pressure as a Title Douluo far exceeded Xiao Fei's soul power, and his almost perfect control of fire left Xiao Fei in a sorry state.

Fortunately, with Huo Wu taking care of him recently, his life has been pretty good in all aspects. Moreover, since the two of them have been spending more time together, and the climate where he is being taken care of inevitably involves physical contact, their relationship has progressed further. Except for the very last step, they've basically done everything. And recently, Xiao Fei's level has reached 75.

After challenging Dean Huo Tianchen multiple times, Xiao Fei's control over flames has noticeably improved, and the two are often evenly matched (presumably the Dean is holding back). Xiao Fei can now be considered to have the fighting power of a Title Douluo, though it's uncertain whether he can defeat the weakest Title Douluo, Dugu Bo. At least escaping shouldn't be a problem.

That day, Xiaofei invited all the deans and several students to gather together in the dean's office.

After everyone arrived, Xiao Fei first expressed his gratitude to the deans for their recent guidance. The deans were quite relaxed and even looked very pleased.

Xiao Fei then solemnly addressed the deans, saying, "Deans, I plan to go out for training soon. This training may involve some serious dangers."

The deans immediately became serious. Dean Huo Tianchen said directly, "Xiao Fei, we all know you want to become stronger, but sometimes haste makes waste. It's not that the faster your soul power increases, the better. At your current rate, you'll reach the Title Douluo level in ten years at most."

Xiao Fei shook his head: "Ten years is too long. Now there are rumors that the Spirit Hall wants to re-establish the seven major sects. I estimate this is just the beginning of the Spirit Hall's actions. Although the place I'm planning to go to this time is dangerous, I'm still quite confident."

"Where do you plan to go for your training?" Dean Huo asked.

"Seagod Island, I plan to go to Seagod Island for training." Xiao Fei said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing that it was Poseidon Island, the expressions of the deans changed, especially Dean Liu Ruyan.

The young people looked puzzled.

Dean Huo Tianchen explained, "In our Douluo Continent, besides the land, there are many places that are seas. Soul masters who live in the sea are called sea soul masters. The martial souls of sea soul masters are mainly sea soul beasts. When we land soul masters go to the sea area, our strength will be affected to some extent, especially for us fire-type soul masters."

"To the west of the Heaven Dou Empire lies an island called Sea God Island, a sacred place for all Sea Soul Masters. They worship the Sea God and consider themselves his children. The Spirit Hall, however, calls it Devil Island. Years ago, the Spirit Hall sent 2000 elite Soul Masters to try and incorporate them, but they suffered a crushing defeat, losing two Title Douluos in the process. That battle was arguably the Spirit Hall's greatest defeat in nearly a century."

"Poseidon Island is indeed quite dangerous, but if you pass the test there, the improvement will be enormous," Xiao Fei said earnestly.

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang replied directly, "Of course we'll go with you."

Next to speak was Feng Xiaotian. Since giving up on Huo Wu, he had devoted himself to cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to advance nearly 20 levels in 5 years.

Yang Pojun and Niu Meng smiled and said, "How could we be left out of this kind of thing?" Yang Pojun and Niu Meng were on the offensive and defensive sides, but they had a very good relationship.

Xiao Fei turned to look at the deans. None of them seemed to care about the danger they were in, not even Yang Pojun and Niu Meng, who were their grandsons.

Yang Wudi said directly, "Xiao Fei, you haven't experienced the cruelty and bloodshed of our generation. If those two die during this training trip, we have no complaints. But if they back down in any way, I absolutely cannot forgive them."

Niu Gao expressed the same sentiment.

Seeing the deans' attitudes, Xiao Fei sighed and took out four jade boxes from his phoenix ring. "These are my last collections. Now all I have left are some snow silkworms and cinnabar lotuses."

Yang Wudi, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang were speechless. Xiao Fei, that sixth brother, had actually transferred the items into the Phoenix Ring beforehand. Yang Wudi was even more speechless; the Snow Silkworm and Vermilion Lotus were actually the worst items Xiao Fei possessed. It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.

Actually, Xiao Fei has now created a storage belt, storing all the immortal herbs inside. His armlet only contains some highly nourishing medicinal herbs, along with a few other valuable items. Of course, there's also that 2000-year-old fire ant right arm bone from before, but it's too inferior for Xiao Fei to handle.

Yang Wudi snatched the four jade boxes. Even if they weren't for him, he could at least feast his eyes on them.

Yang Wudi opened the first jade box, and a wave of icy air instantly filled the entire room. Yang Wudi said, "Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower, Shui Bing'er's daughter. It can probably raise your level by 4 to 5, and it can also purify your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. A treasure for ice-type soul masters."

Yang Wudi opened the second jade box, and a sharp aura surged out: "Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, Yang Pojun's, suitable for those with a sword spirit. It's a treasure of the sword spirit, and the Soul-Breaking Spear spirit has a similar effect. It can enhance the Geng metal attribute of the spirit, and the spirit power can be increased by about 5 levels. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sword Douluo can obtain it, he might be able to reach level 98."

Yang Wudi opened the third jade box, and a stream of earth-attribute turbid liquid flowed out: "Dragon Elephant Flower, incredibly powerful, a treasure for earth-attribute and strength-type soul masters, suitable for both offensive and defensive types. Legend has it that the Dragon Elephant Flower is formed from flowers stained with the blood of an ancient dragon elephant. It is said that after consuming it, one can possess the power of an ancient dragon elephant, and one's soul power can be increased by an estimated 4 levels. One's martial soul may also evolve into an ancient dragon elephant."

Yang Wudi opened the fourth jade box, and a powerful aura flew out: "Dragon Gang Flower, Feng Xiaotian's. Its effects are somewhat similar to the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, but it has some dragon attributes and can refine an indestructible body. You are already over level 60, so the immortal herb will probably improve your physique and potential more, probably by 3 to 4 levels."

Shui Bing'er and the other three happily took their respective immortal herbs, and Xiao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to put one thing down.

Xiao Fei suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were on him. Xiao Fei was immediately terrified: It's over, I've been targeted after all.

Xiao Fei hurriedly said, "Deans, I really have nothing left—"

Yang Wudi grinned wickedly: "Little Fei, how have I treated you? I even gave you some pointers recently!"

Xiao Fei said tremblingly, "Dean Yang, didn't I already give you the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item?"

"That thing belongs to the academy. Now that I'm in charge of the academy's internal alchemy work, it's only right that I take charge. What I'm talking about now is compensation—compensation for the training and education I've given you recently," Yang Wudi said with a completely matter-of-fact expression. The other three deans had similar expressions, as if they were being lectured if they weren't given anything in return.

Xiao Fei mentally grumbled, "You, Yang Wudi, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're actually playing this game so well. Do you even remember how you looked when you first got the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item?"

The others looked at Wang Xiaofei with schadenfreude.
