Chapter 34: Return to the Academy.
Everyone consumed their own magical herbs, while Xiao Fei took out the Wonderful Chrysanthemum.
It had been nearly three years since he last absorbed the magical herbs, and Xiao Fei felt he could absorb another one, this time targeting the Wonderful Chrysanthemum. As for the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Xiao Fei planned to absorb it another time.
After absorbing the magical herbs, Xiao Fei, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang all reached level 50. Dean Huo Tiancheng advanced two levels, reaching the 90th level, Quasi-Title Douluo. Huo Lie reached the 80th level, Quasi-Soul Douluo.
Huo Wu said happily: "Xiao Fei, why didn't you take out such a good thing as the fairy grass earlier? If you take it out earlier, I can reach the Soul King before the Soul Master Competition, and then our competition will be easier."
Xiao Fei shook his head and said: "Sister Huo Wu, you and Huo Wushuang are both star students of the Blazing Fire Academy. Every time you upgrade, many people will pay attention to you.
If you suddenly upgrade too exaggeratedly during your training period, it will easily attract the covetousness of others. After you graduate, you will reduce the display of soul power outside in the future, which will be relatively safer."
Huo Tianchen nodded and said: "Xiao Fei, you are more thoughtful. "The Blazing Academy is a bit too big for comfort right now, so we need to be more cautious going forward."
Xiao Fei continued, "Sister Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, I suggest you absorb the spirit bones now. You should still have a lot of immortal grass energy in your bodies.
After absorbing the spirit bones, you'll be able to absorb spirit rings of higher age. This will bring greater benefits. I also suggest that Dean Huo lead us to retrieve the spirit rings, without asking anyone else for help.
After hunting for spirit rings, both Sister Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang will experience a significant increase in spirit power. Sister Huo Wu, in particular, may even increase by four or five levels."
Huo Tianchen nodded.
Xiao Fei looked at the others, took out the head spirit bone, and began absorbing it. It took a full day before Xiao Fei finally absorbed the wisdom spirit bone.
After absorbing the spirit bone, Xiao Fei felt his mental power greatly increased, his thinking much clearer than before, and he gained a spirit bone skill—Mental Shock—that can unleash mental power to inflict damage on enemies.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang had also absorbed their spirit bones, with Huo Wu absorbing two. Huo Wu said happily, "I feel I'm very strong now. I can beat several of my former selves by myself. What do you think, Xiao Fei?"
Xiao Fei nodded and smiled, "I think it's very good. This wisdom skull shouldn't be 50,000 years old, it should be 60,000 years old. The Spirit Hall suffered a great loss this time."
Huo Tianchen said, "How will you choose your spirit rings this time?"
Huo Wu spoke first, "I think I can absorb a fire-attributed spirit ring of about 20,000 years old."
Huo Wushuang smiled and said, "I can also absorb a spirit ring of about 18,000 years old. Of course, it will also be of fire attribute."
The two looked at Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei thought for a moment and said, "I should be able to absorb a spirit ring of about 50,000 years old, with fire attribute. It would be even better if it has the bloodline of the Phoenix."
Huo Tianchen said, "Xiao Fei, a 50,000-year-old spirit beast is no joke. I know that your previous spirit rings were all absorbed above their level. The difference between a thousand-year-old spirit ring and a 50,000-year-old spirit ring is huge."
Xiao Fei said, "Dean, you can check my physical fitness. I've absorbed the wisdom soul bone this time, so I should be able to withstand the mental impact of a 50,000-year-old soul beast."
Huo Tianchen carefully examined Xiao Fei's body and said, "40,000 years should be no problem, but 50,000 is a stretch. When we return to the academy, I'll take you to the Undying Volcano, where fire-attributed soul beasts are more common."
Huo Tianchen and his team planned to travel to Tiandou City first before returning to the academy. Of course, Shenfeng and Tianshui academies would also be traveling together. Shenfeng, Tianshui, and Blazing Fire academies, collectively known as the Elemental Academies, have always stood together and remained allies.
Xiangjia School and Leiting School, on the other hand, were only on good terms, not on such a level of mutual support. Xiangjia School was backed by the Xiangjia Sect, while Leiting School was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Academies backed by sects should maintain a certain distance from ordinary academies, otherwise they wouldn't even notice they were being devoured.
Shenfeng School was closely affiliated with the Fengjian Sect, Blazing Fire School with the Huobao Sect, and Tianshui School's connections were unknown.
However, the Wind Sword Sect and the Fire Leopard Sect are both located in the Xingluo Empire, so there's no question of affiliation; rather, they share a strong historical connection. These sects can't possibly swallow up the academies of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It's now widely known that Blazing Fire Academy possesses three high-level spirit bones. Many have coveted them, but they've been deterred by the peak Soul Douluo prowess of Dean Huo Tianchen.
Furthermore, with the deans of Tianshui and Shenfeng academies in attendance, there are now three high-level Soul Douluos, a faction no ordinary Titled Douluo dares to challenge.
Furthermore, the three academies have a long history, with students spanning the two empires, including many prominent figures. Therefore, the journey has been relatively smooth.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe also accompanied the three teams back to Heaven Dou City. Upon their return, Emperor Xue Ye personally met with the deans and students of the three teams.
Regarding Blazing Fire Academy, Emperor Xue Ye had originally planned to designate the Imperial Academy as the Royal Blazing Fire Academy, but Huo Tianchen declined.
Huo Tianchen stated that Blazing Fire Academy's sole purpose was to educate and teach, unworthy of the title of Imperial. Eventually, Emperor Xue Ye granted Blazing City and a large area surrounding it to Blazing Academy.
Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Wang Xiaofei were granted earls by Emperor Xue Ye, becoming the most powerful individuals. Their fiefs were all located near Blazing City.
After another five days of travel, they finally arrived at Blazing Academy. Xiaofei instantly felt a sense of home.
Upon returning to the academy, Dean Huo Tianchen gathered all the teachers and announced that Wang Xiaofei was now officially the Vice Dean of Blazing Academy.
However, due to Xiaofei's young age, he only held the title of Vice Dean and would not be assigned any work for the time being. Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang would become faculty members.
At just under fifteen years old, Wang Xiaofei became the youngest Vice Dean of the Douluo Continent's advanced spirit master academy. In short, Wang Xiaofei now only collected a salary, not a job.
A week after returning to the academy, Dean Huo Tianchen and Huo Lie quietly left the academy with Xiaofei, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang. Their destination was the Immortal Volcano Mountains, located south of Blazing Academy.
The Immortal Volcano Mountain Range is the largest active volcano in the Tiandou Empire. It erupts sporadically, encompassing an area of nearly 100 kilometers.
Due to the extreme heat and danger, the area surrounding the Immortal Volcano is completely deserted. The deeper you go, the higher the temperature, and in some places, lava even flows.
Legend has it that an ancient fire sect once existed within the mountain range. However, a volcanic eruption ruptured the earth veins, resulting in countless casualties and ultimately forcing the sect to relocate.
Forced to move due to heavy casualties, the sect gradually declined, and the legendary Fire Leopard Sect of Xingluo is a branch of this sect.
