Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 73 Departure

After leaving Yuexuan, Xiaofei packed up at the hotel and then left Tiandou City.

After leaving the city, Xiao Fei looked up at Tian Dou City. The past two weeks at Yuexuan were the most peaceful and serene days of Xiao Fei's life. Tang Yuehua's martial soul had its own domain, probably a god-level martial soul, but her body couldn't support the full awakening of this martial soul, just like Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao.

Xiao Fei carefully observed Tian Dou City, sensing the bustling crowd around him. This was probably the last commotion in Tian Dou City, and also its last moment of tranquility. After the Tian Dou Palace Coup, the entire city would be awash in blood.

Xiao Fei had no intention of interfering with the development of all this, nor did he have the ability to do so. In the end, Xiao Fei gritted his teeth, turned around, and left.

A few days later, Xiao Fei finally returned to the Elemental Academy. Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Liu Ruyan then led the students to acquire spirit rings, especially Shui Bing'er's spirit ring, which might only be obtainable in the far north.

Xiao Fei returned to his dormitory and took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The entire room instantly turned sky blue. He cut his finger and dripped blood onto the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. A suction force emanated from the cover, and then the cover flew directly to Xiao Fei's cut finger, as if it were stuck to it.

Xiao Fei suddenly felt dizzy, as if a large amount of blood was flowing into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Xiao Fei tried to use his soul power to resist, but his soul power seemed to have no reaction. Even his soul bones seemed to have broken out of his control. His soul power and the suction power of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover seemed to be on different levels. Slowly, Xiao Fei gradually lost consciousness.

Inside the room, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover emitted a blue light, which gradually formed a tall and imposing phantom. "I don't know how much time has passed, but I've finally found some decent-tasting blood, and I've finally found a physique capable of withstanding the power of the Vast Ocean. It's a pity about this body's attributes..."

Finally, the blue light in the space gradually dissipated and merged into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, as if nothing had happened. The Good Universe Mirror slowly fell into the unconscious Xiao Fei's hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Fei gradually regained consciousness. Looking at the Vast Ocean Universe Scroll in his hand, he seemed to feel a connection, yet also a sense of rejection. In the darkness, it seemed to be guiding Xiao Fei to some place in the west.

Xiao Fei carefully examined his body and found himself extremely weak, as if he had been in a major battle and had lost a lot of blood. Xiao Fei estimated that he had probably lost at least half of his blood.

Xiao Fei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Just as expected, his martial soul was a fire phoenix with extreme flames, which was completely opposite to the Sea God's attributes, making it unlikely that he would receive the Sea God's inheritance.

However, since there was a connection in the darkness, and it was guiding him westward, the Sea God probably wanted him to send the Vast Ocean Universe Cover back to Sea God Island. As the saying goes, divine power is unpredictable; since the Sea God wanted him to return, he would probably offer some benefit. The training on Sea God Island was imperative.

Xiao Fei once again channeled his soul power into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The cover emitted a dazzling blue light, which enveloped Xiao Fei. He felt as if he were inside the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which resembled an endless ocean, with Xiao Fei himself being a flame within it. Simultaneously, some information entered Xiao Fei's mind—the instructions for using the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. With another flash of blue light, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover returned to Xiao Fei's hand.

At this point, Xiao Fei could use the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but he couldn't fully master it. It was, in a way, a life-saving artifact!

Just as Xiao Fei put the Vast Ocean Universe Cover into his robes, there was a knock on the door. Opening it, he found Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. The two were shocked to see Xiao Fei's condition. Huo Wu immediately pulled Xiao Fei to go find the Dean, but Xiao Fei quickly shook his head, explaining that he was just weak from exhaustion. However, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang ignored his objections and dragged him away.

The three arrived at Dean Huo Tianchen's place. Dean Huo carefully examined Xiao Fei's body and asked him with some doubt, "Xiao Fei, what exactly happened to you? Your qi and blood are severely depleted, as if you've lost more than half of your blood, but you don't look injured. Is there some problem with your cultivation?"

Helpless, Xiao Fei had no choice but to take out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover: "This is what caused it, but I'm all better now, and I can use it again."

Everyone examined the Vast Ocean Universe Cover carefully, but there was no reaction whatsoever. This left them speechless.

For the next period of time, Xiao Fei focused on recovering his physical body while cultivating his soul power. Half a month passed, and Shui Bing'er, Yang Pojun, and Niu Meng all returned. Judging from their appearance, they all seemed to have obtained decent soul rings.

Xiao Fei gathered everyone to prepare for the trip to Seagod Island. In fact, Xiao Fei, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang should have no problem with the trials on Seagod Island. Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er would probably have a hard time passing the trials, while Yang Pojun and Niu Meng would have a more difficult time.

In the original story, when the Shrek Seven Devils went to Seagod Island for training, most of them were over level 60, except for Ma Hongjun, who was level 57. However, they still found it very difficult to pass the first test, and they only managed to pass it with the help of Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

Yang Pojun and Niu Meng are only at level 52 now, so the assessment will probably be very difficult.

Xiao Fei repeatedly emphasized the dangers of Poseidon Island, but Yang Pojun and Niu Meng, as well as Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, seemed determined to go. Xiao Fei had no choice but to agree. Hopefully, their assessment level won't be too high!

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Liu Ruyan stepped forward. She seemed to have made a great decision and took out a parchment from her soul tool and handed it to Xiao Fei.

"This is a map to Poseidon Island. Be careful on your journey, and whatever you do, stay away from the Demon Whale Sea!"

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Liu Ruyan said, "In the past, each of your departments had its own background, while the background of my Tianshui Academy was Seagod Island. Our ancestors came from Seagod Island, but due to the passage of time, we no longer have any connection with Seagod Island."

Xiao Fei thought about it carefully and realized that many girls at Hai Tian Shui Academy had sea spirit beasts as their martial souls, such as Shui Yue'er, whose martial soul was the Yingyu Dolphin.

Xiao Fei thought about it seriously and said to everyone, "If any of you don't want to go, or can't go to Seagod Island for other reasons, you should decide now. Seagod Island is a mysterious place, full of endless dangers and opportunities, especially for us mainland Soul Masters. The requirements for the assessment will be very high, and the difficulty will far exceed your imagination. I hope everyone will do their best to become stronger."

"Also, if there are high-age soul bones in your family, you should absorb them as soon as possible. This will make it easier for you to face danger."

Everyone nodded, their eyes resolute.

The next morning, the academy arranged two carriages. Xiao Fei, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er rode in one carriage, while Feng Xiaotian, Niu Meng, and Yang Pojun rode in the other. The two carriages left the Element Academy under everyone's watchful eyes and set off for Hanhai City.
