Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 187 is just that powerful

If Blazing Fire Academy and Martial Arts Academy have indeed reached some kind of shady agreement, and they have their eyes on Heavenly Water Academy, then it will be a huge threat to Heavenly Water Academy.

"It seems we need to reassess the current situation," said Shui Rou, the dean of Tianshui Academy, in a deep voice.

"People from Blazing Fire Academy were also there, and they told the Blazing Fire Academy people that they wanted to have in-depth cooperation with our Skywater Academy."

"What exactly are they planning?" the dean of Tianshui Academy muttered to himself.

Beside Shui Rou, the dean of Tianshui Academy, there was another person, but this person looked very aloof.

This person is from the hidden sect behind Tianshui Academy, stationed at Tianshui Academy! She is also the vice-dean who accompanied Tianshui Academy to the competition. She witnessed Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo's battle against the Spirit Hall.

"Han Ying, what's your opinion?"

"I don't know much about Martial Arts Academy, but it has two Title Douluo-level combatants."

"Based on Chen Yan's description, I think the person who came with them should be Yang Wudi."

Han Ying changed the subject, "But aren't they afraid that the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall will find out, given how blatant they are?"

"Perhaps... their actions are tacitly approved in the eyes of the Heaven Dou Empire," Shui Rou replied after a moment of thought.

The cold shadow was also speechless for a moment.

Despite her doubts, Shui Rou, the dean of Tianshui Academy, decided to meet Yun Yibai. Martial Arts Academy had a Title Douluo, but Tianshui Academy and its backing forces did not possess such a powerful figure.

Dean Shui Rou, dressed in the iconic light blue robe of Tianshui Academy, walked steadily toward the reception hall of Tianshui Academy.

"Distinguished guests from Martial Arts Academy and Blazing Fire Academy, I am Shui Rou, the current dean of Tianshui Academy!" Shui Rou's attitude was very calm, showing neither joy nor anger.

This was entirely because she was acutely aware of the true situation Tianshui Academy was in. Faced with the blatant threat from Wuji Academy, Tianshui Academy could only swallow their anger and endure it, even if it meant being beaten senseless.

"Dean Shui Rou, I've heard so much about you!"

"Dean of Martial Arts Academy, Yun Yibai!" Yun Yibai stood up to show respect.

Upon hearing Yun Yibai's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Shui Rou's eyes.

She never expected that Yun Yibai was the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, which was comparable to the three upper sects.

After all, Martial Academy has Title Douluo and several Soul Douluo. Generally speaking, such a force would not choose someone like Yun Yibai, who is still young and whose cultivation is not at its peak, to be the dean in charge of the academy.

However, she immediately thought of Yun Yibai's current reputation, talent, background, and the information she had just learned from Chen Yan. Her doubts were quickly dispelled.

The youngest Soul Emperor in the history of Douluo Continent, and with his Soul Emperor cultivation level already comparable to that of a Soul Saint, such a prodigy can indeed convince many people.

Most importantly, several important figures stood behind Yun Yibai: Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, and Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Shui Rou got straight to the point.

"Is Blazing Fire Academy...?"

Before Shui Rou could finish speaking, Yun Yibai interrupted her.

"You guessed right!"

"Blazing Fire Academy has been merged into Martial Peak Academy!"

Shui Rou's heart skipped a beat. What she had just wanted to ask was, "Has Blazing Fire Academy become an appendage of Martial Peak Academy?"

But she heard something from Yun Yibai: Blazing Fire Academy had been merged into Martial Extreme Academy!!

This result surprised her greatly!

Dean Shui Rou quickly composed herself and turned her gaze to Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang from the former Blazing Fire Academy.

Huo Wu and her brother also noticed Shui Rou's gaze.

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang had already received instructions from Yun Yibai, so Huo Wushuang readily admitted the fact, "Hello Dean Shui, I am Huo Wushuang from Blazing Fire Academy."

"Blazing Fire Academy has indeed joined Martial Peak Academy!"

But the most exciting part is yet to come.

Huo Wushuang continued, "Not only Blazing Fire Academy, but Divine Wind Academy has also been merged into Martial Extreme Academy."

Shui Rou: "."

Huo Wushuang's words completely shattered Shui Rou's hopes.

After a moment of silence, Shui Rou's expression turned solemn. She never expected that Martial Arts Academy would be so ambitious, not only bringing Blazing Fire Academy under its wing but also failing to spare Divine Wind Academy, which was also one of the five major elemental academies.

"How is this possible?" Shui Rou murmured in disbelief, her gaze shifting between Yun Yibai, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang, trying to find a clue or a trace of a lie in their expressions, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

"Dean Shui Rou, times are changing, and the landscape of Douluo Continent needs to be adjusted accordingly. Martial Arts Academy is simply adapting to the trend and making some necessary integrations."

"The Blazing Fire Academy's choice is also based on considerations of the future situation. The martial spirit world is about to undergo a transformation, and war is inevitable. Going it alone is no longer a wise move. Our Martial Peak Academy's actions are simply to seek stability on this continent that is about to descend into chaos. Integrating the elemental academies is the general trend."

"Integration?"

"So, is Tianshui Academy also part of your integration plan?" Although it's called integration, Shui Rou knows that it's really just a merger.

Tianshui Academy is different from other elemental academies because of its unique characteristic of only admitting female students, so she needs to consider it carefully.

"Join the Martial Arts Academy, share resources, and help each other. The Martial Arts Academy can provide you with broader cultivation resources, stronger teaching staff, and a solid support in the face of potential crises in the future." Yun Yibai's words carried an undeniable power, as if every word had been carefully considered.

Upon hearing this, Dean Shui Rou did not answer immediately, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Joining Martial Extreme Academy meant that Tianshui Academy would lose its independence and become a complete vassal of others, and there would be no more Tianshui Academy; but if she did not join, not to mention the Martial Extreme Academy right before her eyes, would she be able to withstand the impending storm in the ever-changing world of martial spirits?

"We need time to consider," Shui Rou finally said slowly.

"Tianshui College is not just my college. I must be responsible for everyone involved in any decision I make."

"Okay!" Yun Yibai nodded. At this moment, he was speaking to the Dean of Tianshui Academy on equal terms, in his capacity as the Dean of Martial Arts Academy.

"I also wanted to ask about Thunder Academy..."

"Yes!" Yun Yibai interrupted Shui Rou once again.
