Divine Eagle, Fierce Tiger, Poison Dragon

After Feng Qingyu arrived, she first glanced at her grandfather. Seeing that he was alright, she then bowed respectfully to Su Cheng and called him "Teacher".

"Teacher?" Feng Tianyang looked at his granddaughter, whom he had placed high hopes on but who was lazy, in astonishment.

Clearly, he didn't know about this before.

Because she was hoping that Su Cheng could find an opportunity to help her "escape from this sea of suffering" and find a way to sneak out of the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team, Feng Qingyu did not elaborate on her interpersonal relationships after returning, in order to avoid alerting Su Cheng.

I simply introduced my teammates and shared my experiences and feelings during the final competition.

At the same time, other teachers in the college also gathered around.

The scene of Feng Tianyang being knocked down by a single punch was quite astonishing.

Especially since he was forced back from his Martial Soul Avatar state halfway through, he was clearly seriously injured, which naturally drew everyone's attention.

However, with the battle just over and Su Cheng by their side, they couldn't afford to make any rash moves.

Only now that things have calmed down, and it seems that the dean's granddaughter has a close relationship with this young elder of Spirit City, have these people finally felt a little relieved.

Su Cheng glanced at everyone, then nodded slightly to Feng Tianyang, "Dean Feng can discuss this with the other teachers, consider my proposal, and give me a reply as soon as possible. Times have changed, and the future of the Godwind Academy rests entirely in your hands."

After saying that, he gently patted Feng Qingyu's shoulder, and then led Zhu Zhuqing away into the distance amidst the various expressions of the others.

We left this space empty so they could discuss it amongst themselves.

They've done everything they could. These people have managed the academy for so many years; they're not children. They should be able to figure out the right choice themselves.

"Times have changed..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyang felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Yes, those two people were quite young; they were considered young even among the students in their own college.

Su Cheng, who is extremely special, is one thing, but what about Zhu Zhuqing?

In just one year, he has improved to such an extent. Even if his Martial Soul is strong, it shouldn't be this exaggerated.

And...

Feng Tianyang looked at the bright-eyed girl beside him, his old face darkening. "Aren't you going to explain this to me?"

Seeing that her grandfather seemed a little unhappy, Feng Qingyu quietly stuck out her tongue and quickly explained in detail what had happened, as well as some details from the Spirit Master Competition a year ago.

Finally, he said, "Grandpa, you'd better seriously consider the teacher's advice."

A touch of seriousness appeared on her still somewhat youthful face.

"That Elder Su..." Feng Tianyang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Does he have any other disciples?"

"I don't know. It wasn't there before, and I'm not sure about now."

"Not before..." he thought to himself.

Feng Qingyu's last piece of advice naturally had no effect.

No matter how remarkable her potential is, or how quick-witted she is in her daily life, she is still just a child.

In matters of such importance, her opinion is insignificant.

However, the master-disciple relationship that Su Cheng himself acknowledged could not be faked, and this was what Feng Tianyang was considering.

"There shouldn't be any." At this moment, the vice dean next to him also spoke up, knowing what the other party was thinking.

The master-disciple relationship between Su Cheng and Feng Qingyu is unusual, completely different from the simple teaching and calling each other "teacher" situation in the academy.

Just like Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, this represents a kind of inheritance.

The intimacy of this relationship is not much different from that of blood relatives.

"Think about it, if he had taken on new disciples at the Spirit Hall Academy, he probably wouldn't have brought Zhu Zhuqing here today."

At this point, he gestured with his eyes to the two people not far away.

At this moment, Su Cheng's arm was still around Zhu Zhuqing's slender and rounded waist, while the girl tilted her head slightly, leaning on his shoulder.

The two were whispering and behaving intimately.

"The two of them are clearly not in a master-disciple relationship."

"Why are you thinking so much? I'll just go ask."

Feng Qingyu rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless at their overly cautious attitude, and turned to walk towards the two of them.

On the other side, Su Cheng silently nourished Zhu Zhuqing's meridians with his Innate Power and said softly, "How do you feel after this battle?"

"My Soul Power is circulating faster and has become purer. And... and I feel much more relaxed."

"Relax?" Su Cheng was taken aback. "Explain in more detail?"

"I didn't feel it much before, but towards the end of the fight, it was like I completely released all the restlessness and pressure inside my body. Especially with that last punch, my whole spirit felt like it was being elevated." Zhu Zhuqing naturally didn't hide anything from him and described her feelings during the fight in detail.

"I see..." Su Cheng's eyes were thoughtful.

It seems he didn't fully understand the other party's actual situation before.

Fighting is the nature of the Hell White Tiger; neither suppressing it nor relieving it in other ways is the best way to relax.

Only intense battles can generate the most effective positive feedback and create a virtuous cycle...

At that moment, the two noticed the silver-haired girl walking towards them.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing stopped talking and quietly leaned on Su Cheng's shoulder, adjusting her breathing to recover while also reflecting on the gains and losses of the previous battle.

She was certain that once she returned to her peak condition, if she were to Douluo I Feng Tianyang again, she would never be forced to this point.

"Teacher, you've finally come! It's been over a year!" Feng Qingyu complained, seemingly both relaxed and annoyed.

As he spoke, he glanced strangely at the girl in Su Cheng's arms, who had a stunningly good figure with a firm bust and a slender waist.

If I remember correctly, there's a terrifying older sister in Spirit City.

How could my own teacher manage to have two women on his left and one on his right?

This is absolutely terrifying!

"What's with that expression?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow, too lazy to pay attention to her little thoughts, and glanced at Feng Tianyang, asking, "What did your grandfather say?"

When he asked about serious matters, Feng Qingyu temporarily put aside those random questions and said, "He wanted to ask if you have any other disciples, but he was too embarrassed to ask, so I came."

Although she and Su Cheng addressed each other as master and apprentice, their ages were not too far apart, and Feng Qingyu had a lively personality and spoke without much restraint.

"That's all. It's just you. You probably won't accept any more in the future. Just don't worry about your grandfather," Su Cheng said with a smile.

The reason I came to the Godwind Academy first is because of Feng Qingyu's connection to the school.

Getting several Element Academy to agree to become branches of the Spirit Hall Academy is not so easy.

There is a difference between academies and ordinary family forces; simply using power to suppress others may not be successful.

So he first used his own strength as a deterrent, then had Zhu Zhuqing demonstrate the teaching capabilities of the Spirit Hall Academy, presenting her as a bargaining chip. At this point, it was essentially the usual tactic of coercion and enticement.

Only at the very end was the title of apprentice bestowed upon Feng Qingyu, hoping to Emotional Stirring. Considering all these factors, the chances of success were still quite high.

Once Godwind Academy bows its head and sets this example, it will be much easier for them to persuade the remaining Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy.

Having received a positive reply Feng Qingyu quickly returned to Feng Tianyang's side.

After she left, two figures dressed in bright red school uniforms, their attire completely out of place among the students of the Godwind Academy, approached Su Cheng and his companion.

Huo Wushuang greeted him, his expression slightly complicated, "Elder Su, it's been a long time."

"..." Huo Wu, who was standing next to him, pursed her lips and lowered her eyes without saying a word.

She has a proud and fiery personality, unlike her brother who is good at taking things in stride.

Whenever I think back to the past, although there were differences between us, they were never this exaggerated. In addition, we were the same age, so it's really hard to call each other "elder".

"Long time no see, Captain Fire." Su Cheng nodded to the two of them without paying any attention.

He immediately offered, "Once things are settled here, we're planning to go to the Blazing Fire Academy. Would you like to come along?"

Huo Wushuang's face stiffened upon hearing this.

They came over to talk to him, actually just trying to test his intentions.

After all, all the actions the other party took today at the Godwind Academy clearly had a special purpose, and as a core disciple of another Element Academy, he had some premonitions in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng was so direct and said such things without any hesitation.

Is it possible that what just happened to Dean Feng Tianyang will soon be repeated with our own dean?

"Captain Fire, there's no need to be so nervous. These are not things you students need to worry about. Just leave the decisions to your college dean and teachers."

Huo Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

That's right.

He wasn't Su Cheng; regardless of his current strength or status, it wasn't his place to worry about the academy in this kind of situation.

Two months later, the group of eight walked in the Spirit Mountain Range.

Besides Su Cheng and Zhu Zhuqing who returned, six other students accompanied them: Feng Xiaotian and Feng Qingyu from the Godwind Academy, Huo Wu Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy, and Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu from the Skywater Academy. All of them were the most promising young Soul Master students among the major Element Academy.

They will stay at the Spirit Hall Academy for the next year and a half under the guise of exchange to study and cultivate.

The reason it took two months to return to Spirit City was not only because the major academies needed a lot of time to discuss and make decisions, negotiate with Spirit City, and arrange follow-up matters, but also because Su Cheng took Zhu Zhuqing to travel around the provinces where the academies were located, which also took up a lot of time.

For him, cultivation no longer required simply relying on meditation and breath regulation to absorb Soul Power.

The benefits of traveling the world to broaden one's horizons and enhance one's understanding, thereby promoting greater harmony among the various energies within the body, far outweigh those of simply engaging in ascetic practices.

For Zhu Zhuqing, intense battles, coupled with a balanced approach to relaxation and mental rejuvenation, are also conducive to improving her strength.

As for the remaining Elephant Armor Academy and Thunder Academy, the Elephant Armor Sect behind the Elephant Armor Academy has already surrendered to the Spirit Hall, so there is no need to spend any more effort on it.

Thunder Academy is an affiliated academy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so Bibi Dong can handle it herself; Su Cheng is too lazy to interfere.

Just as the group was about to arrive at Spirit City, Feng Qingyu took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Su Cheng was walking at the front.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was walking with Shui Bing'er and others, exchanging cultivation experiences. There was no one else around him.

"Teacher, just how strong are you right now?"

Feng Qingyu was somewhat curious.

According to her grandfather, the other party's current strength is far superior to those Peak Douluo, and is unfathomable.

"How strong is he..." Su Cheng pondered for a moment, "Your knowledge is limited, so it's hard to describe to you. He's a bit stronger than a level 99 Titled Douluo."

"Wouldn't that make us invincible?"

"Not really. But if we only consider the Two Empires and the Spirit Hall, that's roughly it."

"Oh." Feng Qingyu nodded thoughtfully.

However, she had expected this and was not too surprised.

Actually, she wanted to ask something else, "That Sister Xue in Spirit City, your relationship with you, Teacher, is quite unusual, isn't it? Does she know about you and Sister Qing?"

"... I don't know yet."

Noticing Su Cheng's slightly strange expression, Feng Qingyu rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Since you're so strong, why do you still seem so hesitant? If you just be a little tougher, they can't possibly resist you, can they?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Cheng couldn't help but chuckle. "They are human beings, with their own emotions and desires. What right do I have to force them?"

"If that's the case, why can't you be single-minded? Isn't that a contradiction?"

"..."

Su Cheng fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long pause, just when Feng Qingyu thought he wouldn't answer the question, she heard Su Cheng speak again, "Humans are inherently contradictory creatures. No matter whether they can control it or not, they always want to crave more and are unwilling to let go."

"Sigh, teacher, I have to say, you have a very problematic mindset."

"Maybe..."

When Su Cheng returned to Spirit City this time, no one was waiting outside.

After all, this time it won't take as long as the trip to the Slaughter City. It's hard to say how long it will take this time.

Moreover, Qian Renxue had been diligently cultivating during this period, striving to stabilize that extremely powerful special state, so naturally she wouldn't be waiting near the city gate every day.

However, before Su Cheng and the others could reach the academy on the back mountain, Qian Renxue, having learned of their return, left the Elder Hall and went down the mountain to Spirit City.

Looking at the woman in white standing at the end of the wide street, Feng Qingyu's eyes flashed with amazement.

This was not the first time she had met him.

But compared to last time, Qian Renxue now gives her a completely different feeling.

The most striking change was in the sparkle in her phoenix eyes, which seemed to shimmer with light, as brilliant as stars.

Qian Renxue's eyes are extremely beautiful.

Her phoenix eyes were large and bright, yet slightly narrow, an effect that many women could only achieve with a touch of makeup.

But those phoenix eyes, which would normally appear exceptionally alluring on a woman's face, looked majestic and sharp on her. Instead of being gentle and charming, they exuded arrogance and disdain, as if she were invincible.

Qian Renxue walked slowly to the group, ignoring everyone else, her eyes only on Su Cheng.

Su Cheng looked back at her. "I'll take them to the academy and the Pope's Palace first. I'll come find you later; I have something to tell you."

He's ready to lay his cards on the table.

"Okay, I happen to have something to do too."

Qian Renxue parted her red lips slightly, then her gaze swept over the faces of the others, only lingering for two seconds on Zhu Zhuqing's increasingly exquisite face before ignoring her.

She is a completely different person now.

From then on, there was no need for so-called "teammates" or similar figures.

Feng Qingyu's gaze swept over the group of people.

If Zhu Zhuqing is still a fledgling tiger, not yet truly roaring in the mountains.

The woman opposite him, with her exceptionally powerful aura, was like a solitary eagle soaring in the sky, only occasionally pausing her gaze briefly on the ground.

Perhaps he was a little annoyed by the young tiger with its bared teeth and claws, but in the end he still ignored it.

However, that was only because the young tiger had not yet touched her sore spot.

If the truth comes out, this arrogant older sister might really go crazy.

Feng Qingyu held a seriously pessimistic attitude towards her teacher's messy love life.

In the center of the rear of Spirit City stands a high mountain known as Pope Mountain.

The three iconic buildings of Martial Spirit City — the Elder Hall, the Pope's Palace, and the Douluo Hall —are built on this Pope Mountain.

The Current Pope Bibi Dong left the Pope's Palace silently, walked to the square, and looked down at the scene unfolding in the city below, a strange smile appearing on her face.

Did her nature change after experiencing the Hell Road?

No, she's just more composed than before.

From a venomous spider that could only spin webs and wait expectantly, it has transformed into a venomous Poison Dragon that lies deep in the abyss, leaving no trace.

Those memories, whether painful or sweet, are buried deep within my memory and transformed into nourishment.

Even Su Cheng could hardly glimpse even a fraction of it.
