After finalizing the arrangements for Qian Renxue's seventh Soul Ring, Yunxiao began gathering detailed information about the Frozen Forest.
"Oh, right, Xiao Xue, Wu Lu," Yunxiao said. "The Frozen Forest has always been under your two's management. Could you both brief me on the current situation?"
The central area where they were located was still some distance from the Frozen Forest. Rather than making the trip himself, it was more efficient to ask the two of them directly—especially since both Qian Renxue and Huo Wu Lu were present.
Su Xiaoli: "..."
Wuwuwu... Clan Leader, you could ask me! I know the current situation in the Frozen Forest!
At that moment, Su Xiaoli once again realized that, due to her young age, she had been overlooked by the Clan Leader.
Previously, it was because she was too young—not only that, but her figure hadn't fully developed yet. As a result, when she had volunteered to be the Clan Leader's "bed warmer," she had been rejected.
"Darn it, it's all my own fault."
"I couldn't win the Clan Leader's favor, nor could I become his bed warmer."
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoli secretly swore to herself:
From today onward, I must eat more—more rice, more meat!
Only then can I grow up quickly and become the Clan Leader's bed warmer!
Time passed unnoticed, and half an hour later...
After listening to Qian Renxue and Huo Wu Lu's explanations, Yunxiao finally had a clear understanding of the Frozen Forest's situation.
Currently, the Soul Beasts within the Frozen Forest had already been relocated to the neighboring Arctic Land—a task completed by Qian Renxue and Huo Wu Lu long before Yunxiao's return.
Now, the only people remaining in the Frozen Forest were the workers sent by that old fool Xue Ye, along with two thousand soldiers assisting them.
Their task? Clearing the towering, sky-piercing trees that dominated the Frozen Soul Beast Forest.
Of course, the felled trees wouldn't go to waste. Instead, they would be repurposed on-site—used as raw materials to construct residential buildings.
"Oh, right, Yunxiao," Qian Renxue suddenly added. "Speaking of which, our Elf Clan has a small population. Right now, it's just the few of us here. The Frozen Forest is so vast—how do you plan to manage it?"
"Also, didn't you mention before that you wanted to split the Elf Academy into an Inner Courtyard and an Outer Courtyard?"
"Why don't we just expand the Elf Academy and establish the Inner Courtyard here?"
"Later, I can help relocate some merchants here. With a large number of Soul Master students and merchants, once the Elf City is fully established, it will have both foot traffic and vitality."
"By then, this city won't just be the development hub of our Elf Clan—it will become renowned across the entire Douluo Continent!"
The "Elf City" Qian Renxue referred to was the name designated for the city to be built upon the Frozen Forest.
The name "Elf City" was derived from Yunxiao's Titled Rank, "Elf Douluo," as well as the existence of the Elf Clan itself.
Shui Wu You: "..."
Huo Wulu: "..."
Su Xiaoli: "..."
Indeed, upon hearing Qian Renxue's suggestion.
For a moment, the three of them fell into an eerie silence.
After all, none of them had any expertise in this matter.
As for Shui Wuyou and Huo Wulu?
Once two of the Nine Dragon Kings of the Soul Beast race.
If you asked them to manage a tribe, they might still manage it without much trouble.
After all, the Soul Beast race operates on the principle of survival of the fittest.
As long as Shui Wuyou and Huo Wulu were strong enough.
Managing a tribe would be relatively easy for them.
But unlike Shui Wuyou and Huo Wulu.
Su Xiaoli was just a commoner girl.
Once struggling to even have enough to eat, how could she possibly understand management?
After all, Su Xiaoli was barely fifteen years old.
Forget managing Elf City—if she could manage a village, it would already be a miracle.
And precisely because of this, ignorance is ignorance.
It's better not to force things and make a mess of it.
Rather than causing trouble for Yunxiao and the others.
The three of them might as well stay quiet and keep to themselves.
"Oh, expanding Elf Academy?"
"Not only that, but also building the expanded Inner Courtyard here?"
After hearing Qian Renxue's arrangements, Yunxiao fell into deep thought.
Originally, the Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy.
Now known as the Elf Advanced Soul Master Academy.
Was built within Heaven Dou City.
Between Heaven Dou Mountain Range, Frozen Forest, and Heaven Dou City.
And between them and Elf Academy.
There stood a granite wall, completely separating them.
Moreover, the height and thickness of that granite wall in Heaven Dou City.
Were astonishing—truly a strategic fortification.
After all, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire was Heaven Dou City.
Naturally, its defensive measures were top-tier.
Because of this, if he wanted to expand the Elf Advanced Soul Master Academy.
He would not only have to inform that old man Xue Ye.
But the difficulty, speed, and scale of constructing Elf City.
Would also far exceed expectations.
He estimated that without three to five years.
Elf City and the expanded Elf Advanced Soul Master Academy would be impossible to complete.
"Xiao Xue, expanding the Elf Advanced Soul Master Academy."
"And breaking through the granite wall of Heaven Dou City."
"Directly connecting to Elf City outside Heaven Dou City."
"Does that old man Xue Ye know about this?"
"Or would he even agree to it?"
"After all, that granite wall in Heaven Dou City."
"Is a strategic fortification for the Heaven Dou Empire and Heaven Dou City."
"If it's not possible, then forget it."
"After all, an advanced Soul Master Academy."
"And an Elf City."
"Aren't worth wasting so much time and effort on."
"Rather than that, I might as well."
"Lead my people to conquer the Heaven Dou Empire outright."
If he could deal with that old man Xue Ye.
He wouldn't mind expanding the Elf Advanced Soul Master Academy directly into Elf City.
As the saying goes, only a fool would pass up a good deal.
As long as I can deal with that old fool Xue Ye, coupled with my Soul Skill abilities...
I can completely compress the entire construction project's timeline to within half a year.
Otherwise, would I really have to wait three to five years?
A high-level Soul Master Academy, an Elf City...
To be honest, they're not worth waiting three to five years for.
