Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

The so-called "limitations" refer to the limitations of the Heaven Dou Empire. The academy is located in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, so it naturally carries a strong Heaven Dou Empire background.

Clearly, the new campus planned by Chenfeng will no longer be limited to a single country, but will focus on the entire continent.

This is something that most people cannot do, but with Chen Feng's current reputation and the foundation of Hedela Academy, it is not impossible for him to establish a continent-level academy.

"So, what's the difference between the new campus and a regular Soul Master academy?" Chen Xin asked curiously.

“If I had to point out a difference, it would be a university, not some Soul Master Academy,” Chen Feng said.

"University?" Chen Xin was taken aback; this was the first time he had ever heard of this term.

"That's right, it's the university. The way of the university lies in manifesting one's bright virtue, in loving the people, and in abiding in the highest good. Its role will be to promote noble morality and thought, guide people to accept this thought and thus do good, until the whole society is changed."

"Besides ideas, it also bears the responsibility of further researching the theory of martial spirits and soul power. The current soul masters' use of soul power is too superficial. Soul power should be a good tool for us to deeply understand this world, but soul masters only use it as a weapon."

"If we compare martial souls and soul power to stones, then today's soul masters are like gorillas who only know how to throw stones at people. They haven't even considered that they can make stone tools like stone axes, stone spears, and stone picks. In other words, they haven't reached the stage of human beings," Chen Feng said eloquently.

The attitude of the people of Douluo Continent towards technology is very problematic. Even after ten thousand years, when the Sun Moon Continent used Soul Guidance Technology to open the door to it, many Soul Masters still remained old-fashioned and maintained a resistant attitude towards Soul Guidance Technology.

Shrek Academy had a particularly serious problem in this regard, so Chen Feng took the initiative to promote the research of soul guidance technology.

A wise person is not born different, but makes good use of things. Even immortals in the world of cultivation would not leave useful magical treasures unused.

Faced with this situation, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who had been inexplicably expelled from the human race, were speechless for a moment.

"Of course, I didn't mean anything by it against Uncle Ning and Master." Chen Feng sensed the subtle atmosphere and quickly added a sentence to make amends.

"I understand, I understand..." Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then asked, "So where do you plan to start?"

"First and foremost, we need to build the new campus. We'll need your help, Uncle Ning, to get the people from the Earth Division (the Yu Clan) to do this. I'll start researching soul power circuits and make something useful as soon as possible. The wages will come from that. I already have some initial ideas."

"Xiao Feng, if it's just building a college, this amount of money isn't actually necessary..."

"Uncle Ning, we still need to settle this score. Also, I plan to slowly repay you the money you gave me before."

Ning Fengzhi frowned. "Xiao Feng, are you treating me like an outsider?"

"Uncle Ning, I just..."

"You don't need to say anything more. I promise you I'll settle the accounts for building the academy. Strictly speaking, that's official business, and official business should indeed be handled officially. But the money I gave you before was pocket money from an elder to a younger person. If you want to repay that money, then you can stop acknowledging me as your elder from now on." Ning Fengzhi's tone became more stern.

Chen Xin also shook her head slightly at Chen Feng, clearly not supporting Chen Feng's actions.

"Well... alright, then thank you, Uncle Ning." Chen Feng didn't insist any further.

Ning Fengzhi's expression softened somewhat, and he said earnestly:

“Xiao Feng, I know you want to maintain the academy’s autonomy like Dean Flander did, which is the right thing to do. But how could I possibly try to hinder you just because of the money to build an academy? You are the most outstanding junior of the Ning and Chen families. I trust your judgment on important matters. Although I’m not entirely sure what you’re planning to do, your caution shows that what you’re doing will definitely cause a lot of trouble. But no matter what, I will support you, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be your backing.”

Chen Feng was touched and couldn't help but ask:

"Uncle Ning, aren't you afraid I'll lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into a pit?"

Ning Fengzhi chuckled, "Xiao Feng, you're already engaged to Rongrong. The future leader of the sect will either be you or your and Rongrong's offspring. Even if you lead the sect into a pit, it won't be me who gets dragged down."

Chen Feng: ......

That makes so much sense; he was speechless.

To be honest, he had been worried that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would become an obstacle for him before this, because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three upper sects and is a typical noble family of soul masters. If Chen Feng wanted to break the drawbacks of the martial soul bloodline inheritance, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was an obstacle that he could not get around.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul itself has flaws, which might make Ning Fengzhi support this matter, it's ultimately hard to say.

Therefore, Chen Feng has been considering how to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Using the business of the Ruyi Baibao Nang (a magical pouch) to offer discounts was one of his ideas, but that would have to wait until the technology was successfully researched. Before that, Chen Feng felt that he didn't have any leverage to get the sect to support him.

It's already a blessing if they don't oppose or betray you.

However, it seems that the problem is simpler than he thought, and Lao Ning has a relatively open-minded attitude.

"Uncle Ning, you're still young, why are you already thinking about becoming the future sect leader?" Chen Feng asked.

"What's wrong with thinking about this? It'll only be a few years before you all grow up. When that time comes, I'll hand over the sect to you, and I can finally take a break. Isn't that great? The future ultimately belongs to you young people," Ning Fengzhi said nonchalantly.

“But we’re too young. How can teenagers be in charge?” Chen Feng said with a wry smile.

Ning Fengzhi pointed at him and said, "Aren't you one yourself? Flander dared to entrust his academy to you, so why wouldn't I dare to entrust my sect to you?"

“How can an academy compare to a sect? The scale is far smaller. And as you said, I already have an academy to worry about. If I were to take on a sect as well, I would be overwhelmed. You should continue to take on the sect.” Chen Feng shook his head and said.

"Then we can leave it to Rongrong. You're all family anyway," Ning Fengzhi said, waving his hand.

As the saying goes, once you start giving up, you suddenly feel like the world is a vast ocean.

If the younger generation were not up to par, that would be one thing, but Chen Feng has clearly surpassed his peers by several levels. As long as the elders are not jealous of his talent, they will definitely feel that having such a junior is a blessing for the family.

Ning Fengzhi was clearly a magnanimous person. Seeing that Flander had handed over the academy, he immediately had a similar thought in his mind.

Forget about calculating anything, just do whatever you want.

“Then you’ll have to talk to Rongrong yourself. Hopefully, she’ll have the interest and patience for this,” Chen Feng said.

He was indeed quite busy. In terms of research, almost no one in the world could help him. He also had to take care of the academy's affairs. Cultivation certainly couldn't be neglected either, as martial power was the foundation of change.

Chen Feng isn't Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor known for his ruthlessness; he can't shoulder everything alone. He needs someone to share the burden.

“Okay, I’ll discuss this with Rongrong later. It’s time for her to take responsibility.” Ning Fengzhi said with deep agreement.

At this moment, Chenxin asked:

"Xiao Feng, you should have some free time later, right?"

"I can find the time if I really need it. What's wrong, Master?"

"It's like this. As I told you before, each generation of Seven Kill Sword Masters comprehends their sword techniques through their own Martial Soul. Therefore, each generation's Seven Kill Sword Technique is different. We don't interfere too much with the sword techniques of our descendants. We only pass on our sword techniques after the descendants have initially grasped the path, so as to achieve the effect of learning by analogy. In this Soul Master Competition, I found that your sword intent has begun to take shape, so I wanted to ask if you have time to learn my Suifeng Sword Technique."

"Yes, of course!" Chen Feng quickly replied.

His Tai Chi sword technique was made possible by several factors. First, he came up with the light and heavy sword techniques after obtaining his first spirit ring, thanks to the master's reminder. Second, he had an epiphany during the Shrek Academy assessment. Third, he gained a powerful physique from the cell activation method derived from his third spirit ring. These factors combined to give birth to the Tai Chi sword technique.

However, Chen Feng had no idea what path to take next, since he wasn't some martial arts genius with extraordinary comprehension.

The Suifeng Sword Technique can serve as a guide for him.

“In that case, I will stay at your academy for a while until you understand the essence of the Suifeng Sword Technique,” ​​Chen Xin said with a smile.

After Chen Feng left, Ning Fengzhi said with some worry:

“Uncle Jian, isn’t it a bit early to teach swordsmanship now? I remember you said that you were taught swordsmanship by Senior Chen Jianjun after you advanced to Soul Douluo.”

Chen Xin chuckled helplessly, “How can I compare to Xiao Feng? The reason I was only taught swordsmanship at that time was because I had just realized my own path. But what about Xiao Feng? I saw it clearly during the competition. His swordsmanship was already in its early stages. All that’s left is to work hard and refine it. It’s really… just thinking about it makes me feel frustrated.”

"Xiao Feng's cultivation has only reached the Soul Sect level... Uncle Jian, has there ever been such a person in the history of the Chen family?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"There's one that's about right."

"Who?"

"Senior Chenyang."

Ning Fengzhi was speechless for a moment.

This name is a wound for both the Ning and Chen families. When Chen Xin told Chen Feng stories before, he only mentioned that Chen Yang had become a demon and killed many people from various sects, but he didn't go into detail about how most of these people were surnamed Ning.

The reason is actually quite simple: support-type Soul Masters are easier to kill.

If it weren't for Chen Xin's great-grandfather's decisive action in personally ending his son's demonic possession, the Ning and Chen families might have faced a split at that time.

"Uncle Jian, is Xiao Feng's martial soul really okay?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask.

"His fourth soul skill came from the Snow Empress's help. If that doesn't work either, then I can only..."

Chen Xin didn't finish her sentence, but Ning Fengzhi already understood what she meant.

Chapter 260 Symposium

After returning to the academy, Chen Feng went straight to the woods.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ah Fei will be placed here.

However, not long after entering the woods, Chen Feng heard a frantic squeaking sound coming from afar, and soon A Fei's figure appeared in front of him.

However, at this moment, Afei was somewhat panicked and was in a state of running away like a rat with his head in his hands.

Behind it, a dark shadow was following closely.

Seeing this, Chen Feng was startled.

Oh no! How could he forget there's a cat in the woods? How can things possibly go well when a cat and a mouse meet?

"Little Black, stop!" Chen Feng shouted as he shielded the Flying Thunder Rat behind him.

The dark figure stopped in front of him, revealing Xiao Hei's smooth, oily body.

"Meow?" Little Black's cat face was full of confusion.

It was at this moment that Tang San rushed over, stepping on the Ghost Shadow Steps, and only stopped when he saw Chen Feng.

"Thank goodness, I almost missed it." Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and then explained the current situation.

It turned out that after Chen Feng and he parted ways, he returned to the academy with Xiao Wu.

Although everyone else in the academy had returned, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, the siblings from Blazing Fire Academy, went out to find a place to eat as a way of entertaining their guests.

Xiao Wu is a lively person, so she immediately wanted to go out and find the group, and also wanted to go shopping.

Tang San did not follow along, intending to settle A Fei first. So he took the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and went to the forest in the academy to release A Fei.

After being released, A-Fei said he wanted to wander around and familiarize himself with the surroundings. Tang San understood what he meant and didn't stop him. He thought that there couldn't be any danger in the academy, so he went with A-Fei.

He himself went to the wooden house to cultivate for a while, but before he could even sit down properly, he noticed through the plants that Afei had wandered around and actually ended up at Xiao Hei's nest.

It was only then that Tang San suddenly realized that there was a cat in the woods, which is the natural enemy of rodents!

So he rushed over.

After hearing Tang San's explanation, Chen Feng understood the situation and said to the Dark Soul Cat squatting to the side:

"Xiao Hei, A Fei is my friend, you can't eat it."

Little Black tilted its head, opened its mouth, and patted its mouth with its paw.

Chen Feng leaned closer to take a look and found some food scraps in its mouth, and smelled the canned food.

"Are you full?"

Xiao Hei nodded, squatted on the ground, rubbed its belly with its paw, and then shook its head, pointing at the Flying Thunder Rat behind Chen Feng.

"You wanted to eat it? Then why were you chasing it?" Tang San understood what Xiao Hei meant and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Feng had some knowledge of the habits of felines and guessed:

"You're not just following along for fun, are you?"

Xiao Hei's face showed an embarrassed expression. Chen Feng had obviously guessed correctly; it had been chasing A Fei just for fun.

Chen Feng rolled his eyes. "Don't mess around like that anymore, you hear me? Other soul beasts might come and live here, so you can't hurt them."

"Meow~"

After dealing with Xiao Hei's matter, Chen Feng turned around to comfort A Fei.

In fact, Afei had calmed down by this time. It understood the conversation between Chenfeng and the Dark Soul Cat and knew that the black cat did not want to fill its stomach, so it was no longer as scared as before.

"Alright, you two go play by yourselves." Chen Feng ruffled the hair of both the cat and the mouse.

After the cat and mouse left, Chen Feng and Tang San went to the cabin together. Everyone else was eating outside, and they didn't plan to go out to look for them, so they stayed there to wait.

While waiting, Chen Feng took out the music box that Flander had given him and asked Tang San to try to disassemble it.

The reason he didn't do it himself was because in his previous life he had dismantled countless things from childhood to adulthood, and almost none of them could be completely restored. He could only accept the fact that he was mechanically incompetent.

"So, mistress, can you understand this music box?"

As a master of hidden weapon making, Tang San had no problem disassembling a music box. He first used his Purple Demon Eye to observe the circuitry inside, then used Blue Silver Grass to make a rough copy in case there were any anti-tampering features in the music box, and then disassembled the music box into parts.

After examining each part for a while, Tang San said:

"This music box is ingeniously designed. The sound-producing structure should be this comb-like metal plate and the metal cylinder it contacts. There are some protrusions distributed in a certain pattern on the inside of the metal cylinder. When the metal plate rotates, it is moved by the protrusions, which can produce regular sounds to form music... That's roughly it."

Chen Feng already understood the principle of music boxes, and nodded, saying:

"Yes, different lengths of metal will produce different sounds when plucked. This music box should be made using this principle. You can see that the teeth of this metal comb are arranged from long to short, and the sound produced when plucked goes from high to low."

Tang San moved the comb teeth on the metal plate in order and found that it was indeed the case. He shook his head and sighed.
