Chapter 73: Departure
After leaving Yuexuan, Xiaofei packed up at the hotel and departed for Tiandou City.
Leaving the city, Xiaofei looked up at the city. The past two weeks in Yuexuan had been the most peaceful and tranquil of Xiaofei's life.
Tang Yuehua's spirit possessed a self-contained domain, presumably a divine-level spirit, but her body couldn't sustain its full awakening, much like Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao.
Xiaofei surveyed Tiandou City, sensing the hustle and bustle of the crowds around him. Perhaps this would be the last of its bustle, its last moment of tranquility. After the Tiandou Palace coup, the city would be a river of blood.
Xiaofei had no intention of interfering with the unfolding events, nor did he have the ability to do so. Ultimately, Xiaofei gritted his teeth and turned away.
A few days later, Xiaofei finally returned to the Elemental Academy. Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Liu Ruyan were leading students on a journey to obtain spirit rings, especially Shui Bing'er's, which might require traveling to the Far North.
Xiaofei returned to his dormitory and took out the Vast Sea Universe Shade. The entire room instantly turned sky blue. He cut his finger and dripped blood onto the Vast Sea Universe Cover. A surge of suction emanated from the Cover, and then the Cover flew directly over Xiao Fei's cut finger, as if glued to it.
Xiao Fei suddenly felt dizzy, as if a large amount of blood in his body were flowing towards the Cover. He tried to mobilize his soul power to resist, but it seemed unresponsive. Even his soul bones seemed to be out of his control.
It was as if his soul power and the Vast Sea Universe Cover's suction power were on different levels. Slowly, Xiao Fei lost consciousness.
In the room, the Vast Sea Universe Cover glowed with a blue light, which gradually formed a tall and sturdy figure. "I don't know how long it has been, but I finally found blood that tastes good, and a physique that can withstand the power of the Vast Sea. Unfortunately, this body's properties..."
Finally, the blue light in the space gradually dissipated, merging into the Vast Sea Universe Cover, as if nothing had happened. The Good Universe Mirror slowly fell into the unconscious Xiao Fei's hands.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Fei gradually regained consciousness. Looking at the Vast Sea Universe Shield in his hand, he felt a sense of connection, yet also a sense of rejection. It seemed as if it was guiding Xiao Fei to go somewhere in the west.
Xiao Fei carefully observed his body; he seemed weak from head to toe, as if he had been in a battle and had lost too much blood. Xiao Fei estimated that he had lost at least half of his blood.
Xiao Fei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. As expected, his martial spirit was a fire phoenix, possessing extreme flames, which was completely opposite to the attributes of the Sea God. It was unlikely that he would inherit the Sea God's legacy.
However, since there was a subtle connection, and it was guiding him to the west, he probably thought that the Sea God wanted to send the Vast Sea Universe Shield back to the Sea God Island.
As the saying goes, the power of the gods is unpredictable. Since the Sea God wanted to send him back, he probably wanted to give him some benefits. Training on the Sea God Island was imperative.
Xiao Fei once again channeled his soul power into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. The Cover shone with a brilliant blue light, enveloping Xiao Fei. He felt as if he were completely encased within it, a boundless ocean, with Xiao Fei as a ball of fire within it.
Simultaneously, something entered Xiao Fei's mind: the instructions for using the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Another flash of blue light appeared, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover returned to Xiao Fei's hands.
Now, Xiao Fei could use the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but he couldn't fully master it. It felt like a life-saving tool, after all!
Just as Xiao Fei had tucked the Vast Ocean Universe Cover into his arms, there was a knock at the door.
Sure enough, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang opened it. They were shocked to see Xiao Fei's condition. Huo Wu immediately dragged Xiao Fei to find the dean.
Xiao Fei quickly shook his head, saying he was simply weak from excessive exertion. However, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang ignored Xiao Fei's objections and simply dragged Xiao Fei away.
The three of them arrived at Dean Huo Tianchen's place. Dean Huo carefully observed Xiaofei's body and asked Xiaofei with some confusion, "Xiaofei, what exactly happened to you? You are now suffering from a severe loss of Qi and blood, as if you have lost more than half of your blood. However, you don't look injured. Is there something wrong with your cultivation?"
Xiao Fei, helpless, took out the Vast Sea Universe Cover. "That's what caused it, but I'm healed now, and I can use it now."
Everyone examined the Vast Sea Universe Cover carefully, but nothing happened. This left everyone speechless.
For the next period of time, Xiao Fei recovered and cultivated his spirit power. Two weeks passed, and Shui Bing'er, Yang Pojun, and Niu Meng had all returned. They all appeared to have obtained impressive spirit rings.
Xiao Fei gathered everyone to prepare for the trip to Sea God Island. In reality, Xiao Fei believed that the Sea God Island training for himself, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang would be no problem.
Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er would likely struggle to pass the trials, while Yang Pojun and Niu Meng would face a more difficult challenge.
In the original novel, the Shrek Seven Devils were generally over level 60 when they set out for Sea God Island, with only Ma Hongjun at level 57. Even they struggled to pass the first level, relying on the assistance of Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
Yang Pojun and Niu Meng were only level 52, so the test would likely be very difficult.
Xiao Fei repeatedly stressed the dangers of Seagod Island, but whether it was Yang Pojun and Niu Meng, or Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, they all seemed determined to go. Xiao Fei had no choice but to agree. Hopefully, their assessment level isn't too high!
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Liu Ruyan stepped forward. As if making a major decision, she pulled out a parchment scroll from her soul guide and handed it to Xiao Fei.
"This is the map to Seagod Island. Be careful on your way, and don't go into the Demon Whale Sea!"
Seeing everyone's puzzled gazes, Liu Ruyan said, "In the past, each of your departments had their own backgrounds, and the background of my Tianshui Academy is Seagod Island. Our ancestors came from Seagod Island, but because of the time that has passed, we no longer have any connection to Seagod Island."
Xiao Fei thought carefully and realized that many of the female students at Haitianshui Academy had sea soul beasts as their martial spirits. For example, Shui Yue'er's martial spirit was the Jade Dolphin.
Xiao Fei thought about it seriously and said to everyone, "If you all don't want to go, or can't go to Sea God Island for other reasons, make a decision now. Sea God Island is a mysterious place, full of endless crises and opportunities."
"Especially for us mainland soul masters, the assessment requirements will be extremely high, far more difficult than you can imagine. I hope everyone will do their best to become stronger."
"Also, if your family has high-aged soul bones, you should absorb them as soon as possible. This will make it easier for you to face danger."
Everyone nodded, their eyes determined.
The next morning, the academy arranged two carriages. Xiao Fei, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er rode in one carriage, and Feng Xiaotian, Niu Meng, and Yang Pojun rode in the other.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two carriages left the Elemental Academy and began their journey to Hanhai City.
