Chapter 144: Gu Lei Royal Academy

"First Soul Skill, Increase Experience!" The Dunjia Heavenly Book flipped its pages, and with Nan Feihuang at the center, a circle with a diameter of about twenty meters took shape. "Alright, everyone, sit down immediately and circulate your cultivation techniques to practice soul power."

"Understood!" Dian Wei and Xun Yu sat down directly; one was the type to absolutely obey Nan Feihuang's every command, while the other had long since known the efficacy of Nan Feihuang's first soul skill.

Lv Lingqi naturally listened obediently to Nan Feihuang as well. Only Nan Feiling was filled with doubt, but she believed her younger brother would not play tricks on her, so she also sat down and began Meditation.

Once she entered the state of Meditation, she was surprised to discover that her cultivation speed had increased by about thirty percent.

Seizing the opportunity, after meditating properly for one hour, everyone could clearly feel the increase in their soul power.

Nan Feiling said with pleasant surprise, "Little brother, your first soul skill of your second martial soul is actually group cultivation acceleration."

"Yes, it accelerated by thirty percent. How about it, not bad, right, Third Sister?" Nan Feihuang said with a smile.

If it weren't for this type of soul skill, Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue would likely have had much to say to him.

After all, potential is just potential; if that potential is not developed, Nan Feihuang and his group would still be weaklings. This soul skill could allow their group to turn potential into strength as quickly as possible.

In any case, as long as Twin Spirits are cultivated to the Title Douluo realm, there are at least eighteen soul skills; there is no fear of not having enough soul skills. Nan Tianchen also approved of letting such a soul skill occupy one slot.

What's more, there was still a mole, Xu Rong, in the country.

With this soul skill, the time required for the geniuses of the Gu Lei Kingdom to grow would be significantly reduced.

In fact, Xu Rong himself was one piece of evidence. Although the national strength of the Gu Lei Kingdom could not be called very strong, it had been rising steadily over these years. However, their martial souls, which grew by consuming national fortune, had instead become weaker, and there was inherently a possibility of declining loyalty.

Even without Xu Rong, the Spirit Hall might still send some Zhang Rong or Li Rong.

Nan Feihuang had thought about solving this problem first; even if he didn't kill him, he at least had to keep him under control. Later, after discussing it with Xun Yu, he temporarily gave up on the idea.

Nan Feiling was so happy at this moment; if she knew that Nan Feihuang's first spirit ring was actually one hundred thousand years old, and that the "Increase Experience" could evolve from thirty percent to fifty percent, or even one hundred percent in the future, who knows how excited she would be?

Nan Feiling nodded excitedly, "Of course it's not bad! From now on, I will practice with you, little brother. That way, I can become a Title Douluo at the fastest speed!"

Regarding this matter, Nan Feihuang had also long since communicated with Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue, informing them of Xun Yu's analysis. Once the two recalled the situation at the time, it was indeed very suspicious.

Nan Tianchen agreed with Nan Feihuang's plan: remain calm and composed, and only take action when necessary.

Moreover, a mole who thinks they are safe is actually very easy to utilize. Nan Feihuang could completely rely on him in reverse to pass the messages he wanted to convey to the Spirit Hall side.

Nan Feihuang remembered that there was still about seven years until the Soul Hunting Operation and the Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan, when the continent would fall into complete chaos.

With so much time, Nan Feihuang had the confidence to grow himself up.

It was just a pity that it was not convenient for his skill to be used on everyone on a large scale, lest the information leak and arouse the wariness of others.

Then, under the blessing of Increase Experience, Nan Feihuang and the others would be equivalent to nine years of normal cultivation. This was only the minimum standard; after all, this soul skill could evolve. Nan Feihuang was confident that when he grew to level fifty-plus, he could unseal the age of the spirit ring to over thirty thousand years. By then, the initial "Increase Experience" would become intermediate "Increase Experience," and the actual acceleration effect could exceed ten years.

The next day, after a night of rest, the group left the palace full of energy and headed to where the Gu Lei Royal Academy was located.

The Gu Lei Royal Academy was different from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; it was not on a mountain, but right inside the royal city, so its area was much smaller, only about one-third of the Heaven Dou Academy.

Whether in terms of complete facilities or the degree of luxury, it was far inferior to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

But in fact, this was what a proper Noble Academy should be like: focused on learning, and with few students, this size was sufficient. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was completely overly extravagant, and many things were unnecessary.

The group headed straight to the Academic Affairs Office. With Nan Feiling, the good student, leading the way, there was no worry about not finding it.

Opening the door to the Academic Affairs Office, an old man was sitting at his workstation. Seeing everyone enter, he looked at Nan Feihuang with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have finally come."

"Elder Zhang, greetings!" Nan Feihuang greeted him.

That Food-type Soul Saint, Elder Zhang, was actually the director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Gu Lei Royal Academy.

As a Royal Academy, although the primary administrator of the academy should be the King, Nan Tianchen, how could he have the time to manage the academy?

Just like how the Great Emperor Xue Ye handed over the management of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy entirely to the Xue Xing Prince, Elder Zhang was the actual head of this academy.

"Elder Zhang, we are here for the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament. You also know that we usually have royal soul masters teaching us theoretical knowledge, which is already sufficient. Therefore, we will still not come to class often in the future. Coming here today is just to see our future teammates and get to know each other," Nan Feihuang said.

He did not like theoretical knowledge—not to say that theory was useless, but for their group, having Xun Yu who excelled in theory was enough; there was no need for everyone to be well-rounded.

For the others, it was better to focus on increasing combat power.

What they needed most right now was cultivation time.

"This old man understands. Your Highness the Crown Prince, please wait a moment; this old man will send someone to call them over."

The basic rule requirement for participating in the Soul Master Tournament was that there must be at least seven participating students.

Usually, academies would prepare about eight to twelve people, so that if there were any problems with the main force, there would still be substitutes.

Although the Gu Lei Royal Academy's strength was not strong—it could even be said to be very weak—it had failed to pass the preliminaries several times in previous years, and even if it did pass, it would be at the bottom during the Promotion Tournament, and then be eliminated in the first round of the finals.

But no matter how weak, this was still a Noble Academy; finding a few people with decent levels was still doable.

"Elder Zhang, are you looking for us?"

Soon, four people appeared at the entrance, three men and one woman, all around twenty years old.

They were the ones Elder Zhang had been cultivating for this tournament.

Nan Feihuang recognized the person in the lead. He stood up from his seat and smiled, "Brother Jia Kui, long time no see."

Jia Kui was the youngest son of the Brute Force Sect Master, Jia Chong, and since he was born to him in his old age, he was doted on very much.

Although he and Nan Feihuang could not be called close friends, they could be said to be acquaintances; they were at least on nodding terms.

When Nan Feihuang first heard this name, he felt some emotion. In the Three Kingdoms period, it was Jia Kui who gave birth to Jia Chong, but here, it had become Jia Chong giving birth to Jia Kui.
