Chapter 140: Continuing Seclusion to Refine Pills, Dugu Bo's Ambition!

The Sea God's phantom remained silent: "You need not blame yourself. He is an anomaly; if nothing goes wrong, he will ascend to the God Realm in the future. When that time comes, I will seek justice for you. The God Realm has regulations; gods cannot directly interfere with the lower realms. He is human, so I cannot take action against him either. As for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you need not worry; I will have new arrangements."

"I understand, Lord Sea God." Bo Saixi closed her eyes in shame.

"Rest well and recover. I have a premonition that an inheritor will appear in the near future," the Sea God's phantom said, then dissipated.

"Is one about to appear?" After hearing this, Bo Saixi opened her eyes, revealing a look of surprise, before falling back into a deep sleep.

God Realm, Sea God Domain.

"It is a pity that this brat has a fire attribute and a Phoenix martial soul. Is that divine equipment? Could he have already been chosen by the Phoenix God? It is just that I have not sensed the aura of the Phoenix God from him. It is too strange."

"However, daring to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King I had laid out, and nearly killing my High Priest—this grudge is now settled. When you ascend to the God Realm in the future, I will settle this score with you properly!"

"Even if he truly inherits the Phoenix God Position in the end, he will only be a Second-level God!"

"However, the current Phoenix God is indeed somewhat troublesome. If this wretch had not been specially watched by the Five Great God Kings, perhaps he would also be a Main God or even a God King. Although this wretch is only a Second-level God, his combat power makes even me feel troubled."

"Forget it, I will see when the time comes."

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is gone, so I can only find another one."

Sea God Poseidon murmured, his eyes carrying a trace of anger.

He intended to take action, to fish the soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King back from that place and resurrect it using another body.

But the next second, he was startled.

"How can this be? Why can I not find its soul?"

Asura God Domain.

"This brat is a huge variable, and he even dared to kill my inheritor. If there is a chance to become a god in the future, I must teach him a good lesson," the Asura God King said, looking at Ma Hongjun in the image, and snorted coldly.

Phoenix God Domain.

"That aura just now was the supreme bloodline of my Phoenix Clan. I did not expect it to still exist in this world, and how did he shatter my Inheritance Mark?"

"Without my God Position, how can he become a god?"

"The rules of this world are a bit disgusting."

"Damn Five Great God Kings, if not for you, I would not have been suppressed as a Second-level God unable to break through."

The Phoenix Goddess's eyes were first shocked, then turned cold.

She would find an opportunity to settle this score in the future.

And Ma Hongjun was her greatest bargaining chip.

Thus, she intended to release the Inheritance Mark again; this time, she would speak directly to Ma Hongjun within his spiritual sea.

This brat would be the key to her breaking the deadlock.

A stream of light silently pierced through and descended toward Douluo Planet.

Being bestowed an Inheritance Mark twice by a god was a first.

Ma Hongjun returned to Phoenix Academy, entered the Phoenix Space, and began to refine the dead Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The opponent's spirit ring, body, soul, and soul bone were all imprisoned within this Phoenix Space; unless Ma Hongjun willed it, escape was absolutely impossible!

If Ma Hongjun died, this space would also collapse, and everything inside would be annihilated into nothingness!

It was simply unsolvable!

"Refining so many things from a Million Year Spirit Beast into a single Pill will surely take a lot of time," Ma Hongjun muttered, then used the special method inherited from his martial soul to send a message to Dugu Bo that he was going into seclusion and should not be disturbed.

Dugu Bo, who was handling the academy's internal affairs, received the message and muttered: "The Principal just came out of seclusion, and now he is going back in? Sigh, Principal, you are not doing your job; you only know how to be an absentee manager. I, this old thing, am already at retirement age, yet I still have to be this tired."

He looked at the pile of unprocessed internal affairs in front of him that looked like a small mountain, rubbed his brow, and felt a headache: "No, I must continue to recruit some geniuses in this field to come in and share the pressure with me. I will distribute some to the other Elders first, otherwise, I will really be worked to death."

It should have been the age of retirement, yet he had to be so exhausted.

There was no help for it; who made him the Great Elder of the academy, the highest-ranking person under the Principal?

Moreover, Ma Hongjun had handed all power over to him. He had not dispersed the internal affairs too much before, but now he had this idea.

There was no help for it; it was truly too much and too tiring.

So he began to take action.

However, when he saw the increasingly better and more powerful Phoenix Academy, a sense of accomplishment suddenly arose.

"Although this feeling is tiring, it is not bad."

"The Outer Academy Genius Competition for this term is also about to begin. I wonder which seven monsters will be able to receive the Phoenix Baptism and become our true family members?"

"I am really looking forward to it."

Dugu Bo turned and left, intending to find his own granddaughter Dugu Yan and the others to have a chat.

Over the past two years, they had also been quite diligent in their cultivation, and their cultivation levels had all reached the Soul Emperor level.

It was just that, hindered by the high quality of the Phoenix Martial Soul's soul power, the energy required was one or two times that of others.

If not for this reason, perhaps they would have already become Spirit Saints, or even Spirit Douluo.

And he himself would have already become a god.

"God! It really is an existence that makes people yearn for it!"

"Currently, I have the highest soul power in the entire academy, at the 97th Level peak, while the Principal is only at the 90th Level. Without exception, I am the man most likely to become a god first. When that time comes, I can brag about this too. I will become a god faster than the Principal, this Phoenix Ancestor, hehe."

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo felt restless.

Although he was old, he was also very competitive.

And to surpass the Principal, the Phoenix Ancestor, and become a god first—what an exciting thing that would be!

Time passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

During these three years, Phoenix Academy continued to grow, and its influence became increasingly powerful.

At the same time, people from many forces also noticed that things could not go on like this; they had to be restricted.

Undercurrents were surging quite fiercely among the major forces.

But because they feared the Title Douluo of Phoenix Academy, they did not dare to make any major moves.

After all, just two years ago, Phoenix Academy publicly announced the number of Title Douluo they possessed, which simply made their scalps tingle with fright—there were actually so many! At the Taizi Fu, Qian Renxue said: "Although Phoenix Academy is a variable, it does not have much of an impact on my plan. As long as they do not come to interfere when I usurp the throne, then everything will be fine."

"Moreover, we have handled our affairs very privately. Having laid the groundwork for so long, it is time to close the net. When the time comes, the Spirit Empire will replace the Heaven Dou Empire, and then we will cooperate with Phoenix Academy."

This was her thought.

"Young Master, the poison inside Emperor Xue Ye has already erupted, and he has now collapsed. Amidst the chaos of the people over there, we have already prepared our men outside and have taken control of the imperial palace. The Heaven Dou Palace Coup can be carried out at any time!" Snake Spear spoke, and he was also somewhat excited.

After all, this plan was one he had been watching over the whole time, and now it was finally time to close the net! This was a moment to witness history! (End of chapter)
