Chapter 463: Shui Yue'er's Proposal

"We are brothers; there is no need for thanks." Feng Yuanyi and Huo Lie are sworn brothers, which is why the relationship between Kamikaze Academy Academy and Blazing Academy has always been the best.

Wind aids the fire's momentum, and fire borrows the wind's power; that is how it is.

"Uncle Feng." Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang immediately came forward to pay their respects.

Feng Yuanyi nodded, "You two siblings haven't been injured, have you?"

"Thanks to Brother Feng, I wasn't injured, but Uncle Feng, I feel that Spirit Hall Academy will not let this go. They will certainly come again to force us. When that time comes, what should we do?" Huo Wu asked with concern.

"My dear niece is quite right. Huo Lie, let us go find Youlan first. I am sure she must be encountering trouble on her side as well. Now that Thunder Academy is leaderless and Elephant Armor Academy has merged into Spirit Hall Academy, among the Element Academies, only the three of us can watch over and help each other," said Feng Yuanyi.

"Good, I will follow your lead, Brother." Huo Lie expressed his agreement; huddling together for warmth is better than standing alone and struggling.

With their three academies united, they also have three Spirit Douluo experts.

During this period, Spirit Hall has had continuous conflicts with Gulei Kingdom, and the Seventh Offering was defeated; now they are all in seclusion, having lost the face to come out for the time being.

As for the Nine Great Elders, they were either killed, injured, or captured by Nan Feihuang, and the intact Saint Dragon Douluo is currently completing the plan to bring various sects under control over in Star Luo.

Given the current situation of Spirit Hall, they should not be making a fuss by bringing out their already insufficient Title Douluo combat power just to deal with a mere Element Academy.

As long as no Title Douluo appears, three Spirit Douluo are barely enough to protect themselves.

The two of them, taking Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang, immediately rushed to Tianshui Academy, though they did not expect that Shui Youlan was already waiting for them there.

She had long anticipated that they would definitely come; after all, if Spirit Hall Academy were to take action, it would be impossible for them to target only Tianshui Academy.

Seeing that the entrance to Tianshui Academy was also in a mess, Feng Yuanyi knew that Tianshui Academy had indeed suffered as well. "Youlan, long time no see. I am sorry, I arrived late."

"It is fine. Elephant Armored Sect would not dare to take action against us in broad daylight; it was merely a provocation between students. Please come inside, brothers." Shui Youlan welcomed them into the academy.

Shui Yue'er also brought Xue Wu and Yu Hairou to receive Huo Wu and the others.

Huo Wu looked around in confusion, "Yue'er, where is Bing'er? Was she injured by people from Elephant Armor Academy or Spirit Hall Academy, which is why she didn't come out?"

"Hmph, mere Elephant Armor Academy—if my sister were here, how would they dare to come and provoke us?" Shui Yue'er said, unwilling to accept it. "Don't worry, my sister is currently training in a certain place. I will tell you all about it later."

Hearing this, Huo Wu stopped asking and followed the group into the conference room of Tianshui Academy.

"Please sit, everyone." Shui Youlan greeted the people from Blazing Academy and Kamikaze Academy Academy, gesturing for them to sit, and began, "You two brothers must understand the current situation. Elephant Armor Academy has already merged into Spirit Hall Academy. They will not let the rest of us Four Elements Academies go. Today was just 'courtesy before force'; next time, I fear it will not be as polite as it was today."

"Courtesy?" Huo Wu stood up in anger. "Aunt Shui, does this count as courtesy? These past few days, people from Spirit Hall Academy have provoked us repeatedly, and I don't know how many of our junior students have been injured. If Brother Feng hadn't arrived in time today, my brother and I would surely have been severely wounded by that Yan. What kind of 'courtesy before force' is this?"

"Sister Huo Wu, Aunt is right. Actually, this already counts as courtesy," Feng Xiaotian said in a deep voice. "Do you know what 'force' really is? Like what happened to the Upper Three Sects, letting us suffer attacks from a 'mysterious force'—that is what counts as being discourteous."

Feng Xiaotian saw things more clearly than Huo Wu. He knew clearly that Spirit Hall was only here to warn them today, or rather, to issue an ultimatum. Huo Wushuang was startled, "Xiaotian, you mean if we don't agree, they will do to our Four Elements Academies what they did to the Upper Three Sects..."

"Hmph, is there any doubt? The goal of Spirit Hall is already clear. They are now 'those who submit will prosper, those who resist will perish.' My junior brother's family never provoked Spirit Hall from beginning to end, yet they were attacked repeatedly. If it weren't for my junior brother's powerful strength, I fear he would have already returned to the nine heavens," Shui Yue'er said angrily.

Nan Feihuang was her male god, after all; if Nan Feihuang died, who would she marry in the future?

"The situation is now clear. I summoned you two here to discuss with you how to walk the path ahead. Do we accept our fate, or do we resist to the end?" Feng Yuanyi sighed. "Sigh, to tell you the truth, if we resist, I have absolutely no confidence. The strength of Spirit Hall Academy is greater than all of our Element Academies combined. Even if we unite, it will only delay the time until we are wiped out."

"I will not surrender. Rather than being forced to surrender, I would rather die." Huo Wu's personality was as unyielding as her temper; she could not be swayed by soft or hard tactics.

Unless she herself was willing, no one could force her to do anything she did not want to do.

"Sister Huo Wu, I will always stand on the same front as you," Feng Xiaotian said, holding Huo Wu's hand.

This time, Huo Wu did not refuse; she smiled and nodded at him. Over these past three years, she had long been moved by Feng Xiaotian's persistence.

Feng Xiaotian could be considered a successful "licker," or rather, since he had already succeeded, he was no longer a licker.

"I am the same. The people from Elephant Armor Academy are too disgusting. If I have to work with them, I would rather die." Qiu Ruoshui's eyes were red; the events of that night were the most terrifying psychological shadow for her.

If Yu Hairou hadn't arrived in time, she would have been defiled by Huyan Li. If that had truly happened, she feared she would have already taken her own life.

Hearing the children say this, the three academy heads fell into deep thought.

They all respected their children's opinions very much. As principals, they were not all stubborn people; they knew very well that the future of the academy ultimately rested in the hands of these young people.

Even if they accepted their fate and surrendered, if the younger generation was unwilling, it would be of no use.

After all, all their decisions were for the good of the academy's students.

Feng Xiaotian and the others were no longer children. These principals had originally intended to gradually hand over the power in their hands to them, so their opinions were very important.

"Um..." Shui Yue'er suddenly raised her hand at this moment. "Mom, two uncles, I have something to say."

"Yue'er, say whatever you want to say," Feng Yuanyi said.

"I was thinking, besides the two paths of confronting Spirit Hall Academy head-on or surrendering to them, can we choose a third one?"

"A third one?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.

Shui Yue'er nodded, "Yes, a third one. That is to find a force capable of confronting Spirit Hall and seek their protection—for example, my junior brother!"
