Chapter 465: Element Academy: A New Landscape

"Fine, since it's come to this, I have no objections." Huo Wu spread her hands. She was fine with fighting, but as for making decisions, she would pass; she wasn't good at it, so she just gave up. "Brother Feng, it's better if you make the call."

"That's right, Xiaotian, this time, you decide which path to take." Feng Yuanyi echoed Huo Wu; he also wanted to hand the decision-making power over to Feng Xiaotian.

Because he had already decided that even if they merged with Nan Feihuang's Gulei Royal Academy in the future, he would step behind the scenes and hand all power over to his son, Feng Xiaotian.

Inevitably, everyone's gaze turned toward him.

"I... you want me to decide?" Feng Xiaotian was suddenly incredibly nervous; he couldn't bear such a huge responsibility.

"Yes, Brother Feng. Among our group, only you have defeated people from the Spirit Hall Academy and were still able to arrive in time to help us. Now, you are the backbone of everyone, and we will all listen to you," Huo Wu encouraged.

She understood what these elders meant; if the Element Academy was destined to change, it should start with their generation.

A new academy should be injected with new vitality.

"Xiaotian, go for it!" Huo Wushuang also thought highly of this future brother-in-law. Aside from his "licker" personality, he was considered both brave and resourceful. Perhaps he had put the cart before the horse in the past, wasting precious time cultivating his Self-created Soul Skill, but in the three-plus years of bitter training in Hurricane Canyon, he had made up for it as much as possible.

"Although you are quite a bit worse than my junior brother, you are still an excellent man. We'll listen to you." Shui Yue'er wouldn't deliberately go against the group either; at a time like this, it was better to be a team player.

Looking at everyone's expectant gazes, Feng Xiaotian clenched his fists, pulled down his mask, and said with a determined expression, "Alright, since that's the case, then I will not decline."

"Three Deans, Sister Huo Wu, and the junior brothers and sisters from Kamikaze, Blazing, and Tianshui Academies, I, Feng Xiaotian, intend to accept the Flying General's invitation, but before that, I have three proposals." Feng Xiaotian held up three fingers.

"First, since we are going, we naturally need to find a way to gain more say. Therefore, increasing our strength is absolutely necessary. The reason the Five Elements Academies are famous, besides our own strength not being weak, is most importantly our mutual support. But now that the Elephant Armor Academy has betrayed us, the first thing we must do is notify the Thunder Academy. I hope they will go with us; I think Thunder won't refuse, after all, their main family, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, has already joined Nan Feihuang. Additionally, it would be best to find an academy no weaker than the Elephant Armor Academy to make up for the lack of the earth element."

"I think the Plant Academy is quite good. The growth of plants cannot be separated from the earth, and their strength is also very strong. They must also be within the scope of the Spirit Hall's annexation, and since they are all girls, they must be in urgent need of help right now. We can extend a helping hand to them."

"Makes sense!" Huo Lie nodded. That's right, only if the Five Elements Academies could gather together could they exert the greatest power. The Plant Academy was not weaker than the Elephant Armor Academy and was sufficient to become the new earth element academy.

Feng Xiaotian continued, "Second, since we are going to establish a new academy, why don't our several academies merge first to become a whole? This will also show Nan Feihuang our stance of advancing and retreating together."

"Very good, this is exactly what I was thinking." Feng Yuanyi approved. He had gathered everyone together precisely for the sake of uniting.

In the original story, they had done exactly this, integrating into the Element Academy, and Feng Xiaotian had even become the vice dean.

He figured he wouldn't be able to escape this position this time either. "Third, the Spirit Hall Academy is currently eyeing us covetously; they will certainly not watch us escape. Our combined academies have at least a thousand students. It is impossible for so many people to disappear under the Spirit Hall's nose without a sound. We must ask for reinforcements. During this recent period, the Spirit Hall should not be able to dispatch experts at the Title Douluo level. As long as we can get three or four more Spirit Douluo, it should be enough to repel the Spirit Hall Academy and then withdraw from Heaven Dou. Yue'er, can this matter be left to you?" Feng Xiaotian looked at Shui Yue'er.

She was the one with the best relationship with Nan Feihuang here, so naturally, only she could do it.

"Hehe, Brother Feng, you don't even need to say it. I've already prepared everything. The letter was sent out days ago. I reckon the help will arrive in these two days," Shui Yue'er laughed.

Everyone was stunned. This girl had actually acted so quickly this time. Huo Wu poked Shui Yue'er's head with her finger in annoyance, "You little rascal, you were so sure we wouldn't refuse Nan Feihuang's invitation that you even took action in advance."

Shui Yue'er stuck out her cute little tongue, "Hehe, this is called 'being prepared prevents trouble,' my junior brother taught me that."

"Regardless, Yue'er did a great job with this. This way, our pressure will be much smaller," Feng Xiaotian praised. "Then, while the Spirit Hall Academy hasn't reacted yet, please everyone, start acting immediately."

"Leave the Thunder Academy to me and Wushuang. We have good relationships with Lei Dong, Leitian, and Leijiuzhong. In the absence of the Thunder Academy Dean and Yu Tianxin, at least among the younger generation, they must be the ones in charge."

"Then, for the Plant Academy side, let me and Huo Wu make a trip," Xue Wu stepped forward and said. "The Plant Academy is different from the Thunder Academy. After all, they didn't have much to do with our Element Academy in the past. Inviting them requires showing sincerity. Sister Huo Wu and I were the vice captains of the Tianshui and Blazing teams; our status is sufficient, and since we are all girls like them, it should be easier to talk."

Feng Xiaotian approved, "Then I'll trouble you and Sister Huo Wu."

Once the discussion was settled, this group of teenagers immediately took action. Young people did things with vigor and speed, without any dragging of feet.

The three deans looked proudly at the children they had raised. Huo Lie stroked his fire-red beard and laughed, "It seems that these children have actually grown a lot through this incident. Even without us old folks, they are capable of standing on their own. Haha, in that case, this old man can also retire and enjoy life in peace."

"Dean Huo Lie, please don't count me in when you say 'old folks'." Shui Youlan stared at Huo Lie with phoenix eyes, as if she wanted to freeze him.

One had to know she was only in her fifties; among Spirit Douluo, she was considered young. Plus, because her cultivation was high, her appearance was like that of a thirty-year-old beautiful woman, without a single wrinkle on her face. As a beauty, she could not accept the word "old" under any circumstances.

"Hehe, it is this brother's fault. This brother spoke wrongly. Sister Youlan, please be magnanimous." Huo Lie hurriedly apologized; this woman was not to be trifled with. Her soul power was lower than his, but her actual combat power was stronger.

Feng Yuanyi looked at the two of them, just smiling without saying a word, his heart thinking only of one thing: the new landscape of the Element Academy was about to begin!
