Chapter 110: Planning the Future
Shi Nian's previously calm eyes suddenly widened. "Young master, leading Canghui Academy to the finals I'm confident about, but the championship..."
He desperately wanted to say, "You might as well kill me now."
But uncertain of Dugu Feng's temperament, he feared such words might provoke the young master to actually do it.
Old Snake chuckled beside him—this was indeed the young master's style. Taking over Canghui Academy definitely had purpose behind it.
"Heh!" Dugu Feng stepped forward and patted Shi Nian's shoulder. "I believe in you, and you should believe in the strength of the Dugu family!"
Then Dugu Feng left, leaving behind a completely bewildered Shi Nian.
"Don't you know the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique? I've seen that the Canghui Academy team has already gathered seven students with gem-type spirits. Once their soul skills fuse and sublimate together, which academy could possibly resist!"
Old Snake said seriously.
Shi Nian thought to himself, "As expected." Old Snake had already mastered all of Canghui Academy's information.
This Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique was indeed his trump card, a illusion skill he had been researching for years.
Shi Nian sighed. "Among these seven students, one is currently at level thirty-nine and about to break through to Soul Sect. The other six are still far from Soul Sect level, and it would be difficult to produce another Soul Sect in two years.
With this configuration, the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion could defeat other academies' Soul Sect teams.
But recently, Spirit Hall has produced geniuses. I suspect that by the tournament in two years, there will definitely be Soul Kings participating, maybe even more than one."
Shi Nian sighed again.
He had chosen to join an academy to experiment with his soul skills and created the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique, naturally planning to make a spectacular debut.
But Yan's recent challenges had spread throughout all the major academies, leaving him less confident about winning the championship.
"What are you afraid of? You have the backing of the Dugu family! With the clan's resource support, how hard could it be to train a few Soul Sects? The family has whatever resources you need.
Make them train hard. I've looked at those seven students' profiles. With full resource support, they still have a chance to produce one or two Soul Sects.
And aren't we just talking about gem-type spirit masters! Recruit a few geniuses from other academies. Strive to assemble a team that's mostly Soul Sects in two years!"
Old Snake waved his hand grandly, full of momentum.
Shi Nian was secretly amazed. In that case, he wouldn't hold back.
Recruiting people wasn't difficult—just resources plus intimidation. With the backing of a family like the Dugu clan, could he act without restraint?
Shi Nian's heart began to race.
If he won the championship, he, Shi Nian, would become famous across the continent.
In the academy's training ground, Dugu Feng was in good spirits.
Having given away two more Dan Pearls, he now had only one remaining inside his body.
Of the eight Dan Pearls, two were used by the Emerald Dragon Snakes. Yan, Shi Nian, and Zhu Zhuqing each had one, Zhu Zhuyun had two inside her body, and he had one remaining.
The two inside Zhu Zhuyun were somewhat wasteful—he should find time to retrieve one of them.
In total, two ten-thousand-year spirit beasts, two Soul Sects, one Soul Elder, and one Soul Sage were collectively nurturing eight Dan Pearls.
After the Dan Pearl split into eight pieces, each piece retained less than twenty percent of the original energy.
Now came another long process of accumulating energy.
Based on the energy growth during this period after the Dan Pearl's division, Dugu Feng estimated it would take several years to fully recharge.
The process of replenishing the Dan Pearl's energy was also a gradual process of strengthening his body.
During this time, Dugu Feng used all the energy feedback from the Dan Pearl to temper his bones, meridians, and external spirit bone strength.
For his fourth spirit ring, Dugu Feng was determined to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Ten-thousand-year spirit rings had mental impact.
It seemed he needed to cultivate the Jade Phosphor Scarlet Poison during this time—it was key to resisting mental impact.
This was also one of his weaknesses. His mental strength wasn't that powerful.
He also needed to plan for immortal herbs. It would be best if he could consume the Yearning Heartbroken Red, an immortal herb that enhances mental strength, to have better assurance.
Originally, Dugu Feng had planned to create some danger for Dugu Yan in Heaven Dou City to distract Dugu Bo, then personally go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to collect immortal herbs.
But now, Dugu Feng didn't plan to do that anymore.
It was time to bring the Snake Cultivation faction back into the fold.
If Dugu Bo could be Tang San's subordinate, why couldn't he be mine?
Dugu Feng suddenly remembered his father asking him last time about his views on the Snake Cultivation faction.
His answer then was that everything should be based on enhancing the family's inherited strength.
Regardless, the family's expansion indeed needed a Title Douluo.
Especially as Bibi Dong's strength increased, the continent was about to fall into chaos.
If only he could control Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo's weakness.
Dugu Feng began planning the future again.
None of these things could be accomplished immediately.
While cultivating, he continuously thought about these matters and also discussed them once with his father, Dugu Shuo.
Regarding his idea of bringing Dugu Bo back, Dugu Shuo also expressed agreement.
Moreover, Dugu Shuo seemed quite confident?
Having a capable father, Dugu Feng suddenly felt much more relaxed.
On this day, while Dugu Feng was cultivating, he was suddenly interrupted by Old Snake, who then led him out of Heaven Dou City.
Outside the gates of Heaven Dou City, his father, who almost never left the ancestral hall, was actually there, along with Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Dugu Bo, Ge Long, Feng Bailong, Dream God Machine...
Almost all the powerful figures from Heaven Dou's side had come.
After Dugu Feng arrived, he stood behind his father.
All these powerful figures wore grave expressions, with no casual conversation.
Had Clear Sky Sect and Bibi Dong started fighting?
No, the powerful figures from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family were missing!
Yu Yuanzhen wasn't there, and even Yu Luomian hadn't come.
Were they waiting for them?
After another moment, there was still no movement at the city gates.
Ning Fengzhi's expression grew more serious. "Uncle Sword, you lead the way ahead. If we encounter Spirit Hall's Title Douluo, say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to mediate the grievances between both sides!"
Sword Douluo nodded and immediately shot into the sky, disappearing from sight.
The remaining group quickly headed east.
Old Snake whispered beside Dugu Feng, "There's fighting near the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gates, and the commotion isn't small."
Dugu Feng thought to himself, "As expected."
He showed a pleased expression—this was how it should be. They had to fight.
Otherwise, how could they demonstrate the prestige of the world's number one sect and the world's number one spirit master organization?
"Everyone, when the rumors first emerged, I already contacted Clear Sky Sect. During these years of closed gates, Clear Sky Sect's strength has indeed grown rapidly. Although they don't have the seven Title Douluo that outside rumors claim, their Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder have all advanced to Title Douluo!"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Ge Long and Dream God Machine both showed pleased expressions.
If Clear Sky Sect was strong, they could resist Spirit Hall.
The Heaven Dou Empire could develop peacefully, and as supporters of the Heaven Dou royal family, they immediately became excited.
They just hoped Clear Sky Sect wouldn't be too impulsive—losing more Title Douluo would be heartbreaking.
