A speech that made Qian Daoliu draw his sword against me
At this moment, Chen Feng was unaware that someone in the audience was preparing to become a copy ninja.
He had already begun preparing to conclude the ceremony, and the last thing to do was to announce the date of the entrance examination.
This was something that many people present were extremely concerned about.
They have been thoroughly engaged by the ceremony and are eagerly anticipating life on the university campus.
Amidst the intense anticipation, Chen Feng spoke up, "Regarding the timing of our university's first assessment since its opening, I've given it some thought and ultimately decided to hold it in June. The official start of the semester will be in September, leaving over two months for summer vacation, and correspondingly, winter vacation. This avoids the harsh weather of summer and winter and won't interfere with the busy farming season."
"Mr. Chen is so righteous!" someone in the audience couldn't help but shout, followed by enthusiastic applause.
In this era, most ordinary people still make a living by farming, and the fact that Chen Feng was able to consider this for them was enough to make them grateful.
Previously, they were struggling with the decision of what to do if school hours conflicted with farm work. Now they don't have to worry about that anymore, as they have two holidays to choose from.
This is also the first time the concepts of winter vacation and summer vacation have been proposed.
Previously, the Soul Master Academy only had one holiday at the end of the year for students to relax and go home to visit their families. After all, becoming Soul Master meant being among the elite, so naturally, they wouldn't think about farming or anything like that.
But not here at Chen Feng. Becoming Soul Master doesn't mean you're superior to others, nor does it mean you can shirk your due labor.
As he once said, the essence of social progress is the improvement of productivity, and the improvement of productivity is naturally not something that can be done by a few people, but rather that everyone who can provide productivity must participate.
Those with knowledge should provide knowledge, those with labor should provide labor, and those with Soul Power should naturally provide Soul Power.
Of course, this doesn't mean Chen Feng will treat others like beasts of burden. He won't be stingy when it comes to compensation; only fair compensation for labor can better motivate employees.
For example, the mining company he plans to start, which Qian Renxue has named Heaven Dou Heavy Industries, adopts a policy of distributing shares to all employees.
Blindly exploiting workers is a short-sighted approach; sustainable development is the only way to go in the long run. To this end, he also plans to encourage workers to spontaneously form unions.
It's the kind of union that truly fights for fair treatment for its members, not a useless gift distribution center occupied by unrelated people.
Qian Renxue had wondered why Chen Feng would create an organization that seemed to be challenging her.
Chen Feng didn't know how to explain the underlying meaning to her, so he could only offer some vague explanations like "yin and yang in balance, and things reaching their extremes will inevitably reverse."
His theory, at best, is self-consistent.
Getting back to the main point, after the ceremony, Chen Feng and the Golden Iron Triangle received guests from all walks of life. Although he disliked socializing, he couldn't avoid such occasions.
I won't go into details about the reception process, but in short, both hosts and guests had a great time. Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, accompanied by Dai Mubai, planned to stay here for a few more days.
And let's add Shui Yue'er as well.
Speaking of her, one cannot help but mention the things she brought back.
Chen Feng never expected that someone would try to copy his work so quickly, and right in front of him.
Ugh! Disgusting!
Fortunately, Shui Bing'er was also very sensible. She expressed her willingness to trade through Shui Yue'er, exchanging resources for knowledge, and Chen Feng did not refuse.
Even close brothers should keep clear accounts, let alone those who are not blood brothers.
He naturally supported what Gan Shui Bing'er wanted to do, as it would fill a gap in his plans.
He chose the Star Dou Great Forest Star Dou Great Forest over the Extreme North, but that didn't mean he gave up the Extreme North. After all, it was a gathering place for Soul Beast, where the Three Kings resided.
However, compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Extreme North is indeed somewhat limited.
So Chen Feng's plan was to send someone to open a branch base there when he had more talent and resources available. But now that someone wanted to pay for it out of their own pocket, he naturally wouldn't refuse. It would save him trouble and allow him to get some resources for free.
Of course, not just anyone can trade with Chen Feng. The main reason why Shui Bing'er was accepted by him was because she had formed a bond with the Ice Empress.
In the current era, there is indeed no one more suitable for trading than Shui Bing'er.
As the ceremony concluded, news of what had transpired spread, and the powerful Spirit Hall was naturally the first to learn of it.
Elder Hall, Qian Daoliu, dressed in white robes, listened quietly to the report from the people below, then spoke coldly, "Insolence!"
The intelligence officer below was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, but he dared not show it and simply bowed his head in silent worship.
After a while, he didn't hear any new instructions, so he couldn't help but look up slightly, only to find that there was no one in front of the statue above.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu had arrived directly above the Elder Hall. He looked towards the newly established Academy, and a golden longsword slowly materialized in his hand.
Those who dare to act in the name of a goddess should be admonished!
For a devout religious person, other matters may be negotiable, but matters concerning God must be taken seriously.
Although what Chen Feng did seemed harmless and did not tarnish the reputation of the Angel Goddess, Qian Daoliu still instinctively sensed something was amiss.
This slight imperfection was his reason for taking action; whether the other party survived depended on their skill level.
Only those who survive are qualified to act in the name of the goddess; those who die deserve their fate.
In other words, Qian Daoliu was unaware of the term "Shijingquan" (释经权). Otherwise, he would have understood what this slight impropriety was, and he wouldn't have simply used one sword strike; instead, he would have directly and annihilated the opponent.
Indeed, although Chen Feng did not smear the Angel God and his actions were aboveboard, he was subtly vying for the Angel God's right to interpret scriptures, using the Angel God's name to endorse his own actions.
If left unaddressed, the situation where "your Qian Family Angel God is fake, and my Angel God is the real one" could very well occur.
Although it wouldn't make a difference to pay attention to it, even if Chen Feng's physical body is destroyed, he has already sown the seeds, which will inevitably take root and sprout one day in the future, and this trend is irreversible.
Unless all Hydra members are killed and their knowledge is prevented from spreading before they die, all efforts will be in vain.
This list will grow rapidly in the future. Putting aside Shui Bing'er, with whom the deal has already been made, there will also be students in the Academy who have met the credit requirements and will choose to learn Chen Feng's knowledge. These students will either be talented or diligent and determined in order to obtain enough credits.
Once Chen Feng's theory becomes a prominent school of thought, it won't be a matter of whether Qian Daoliu is willing or not. Rather, it will be that the Angel God must be exactly as Chen Feng described, or else it will be an evil god or a false god.
Of course, Qian Daoliu still has some initiative now, because his fist is big enough.
At this moment, Chen Feng was unaware that he had alerted the big boss; he was currently showing Cang Xiao around the Academy.
"Great-Grandmother, look, this is the Arts District, which mainly teaches courses related to literature and art. That's the Martial Soul District, which teaches Martial Soul cultivation. In addition, there's the Soul Tool District. And in a deeper area, I've designed a representative Soul Beast for each of these three campuses," Chen Feng explained.
"Oh? It represents Soul Beast, what is that?" Cang Xiao asked curiously.
"These are all creatures that don't exist in the world, created from my imagination. The representative Soul Beast of the Arts District is the Winged Dragon, symbolizing letting imagination grow wings and creating all kinds of beautiful works; the representative Soul Beast of the Martial Soul District is the Sky Dragon, symbolizing brave battles and explorations, unafraid of the hardships and dangers of the world; and the representative Soul Beast of the Soul Tool District is the Obelisk the Tormentor, symbolizing the pinnacle of artificial creation, which is also my expectation for Soul Tool Technology." Chen Feng explained while showing Cang Xiao the paintings of the Egyptian God Cards.
After looking at the painting, Cang Xiao's expression was somewhat strange. "Since the Obelisk the Tormentor is an artificial creation, can it also be Soul Beast?"
Chen Feng smiled. "Who says man-made objects can't be Soul Beast? With the wonders of Soul Tool Technology, future man-made Soul Beast might not even be..."
Not impossible.
Cang Xiao gave him a deep look, "Your talent is truly divinely bestowed."
"What?" Chen Feng, somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just felt a bit emotional after watching today's ceremony," Cang Xiao said vaguely.
Just as she was about to have Chen Feng take her to the next place, her expression suddenly turned fierce. As she flew into the sky, her Martial Soul Possession, and two light blue longswords slashed forward, colliding with a golden longsword that shot towards her.
When!
The golden longsword was instantly shattered, and tiny specks of light fluttered in the Airborne, creating a beautiful sight.
Chen Feng below had already summoned his Martial Soul. He had just vaguely sensed a sense of crisis, but before he could react, Cang Xiao had already taken action to block the attack.
As for the attacker, Chen Feng knew without even thinking who it was.
He hadn't expected the old man to react so strongly, he thought to himself.
He guessed that Qian Daoliu might react, but he thought that at most he would question him in the name of the Spirit Hall. He didn't expect that he would throw a sword at him directly. A peerless expert can be so capricious.
So you've seen through his motives?
The moment this thought arose, Chen Feng rejected it, because if Qian Daoliu had truly understood his actions, he would definitely be there in person, not just with a sword.
Although not everyone can withstand Qian Daoliu's sword strike, it's still somewhat manageable with just one sword. Even if Cang Xiao wasn't present, Chen Feng would have the ability to deal with the sword's attack.
But if Qian Daoliu comes in person, then Chen Feng can only gamble on whether the other party will spare his life out of respect for his talent.
Just as he was lost in thought, several figures quickly approached from a distance; it was Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and the Golden Iron Triangle.
"Xiao Feng, are you alright?" Chen Xin checked on his disciple as soon as he arrived. Fortunately, his disciple was unharmed, which relieved him.
"Don't worry, with Great-Grandmother here, how could anything happen to me?" Chen Feng said with a smile, and put away his Martial Soul.
Chen Xin then looked at Cang Xiao in the Airborne, followed her gaze to a certain direction, and frowned deeply.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo had a guess in his mind, "Who made the move?"
"Hmm." Chen Xin nodded solemnly.
"How could this have provoked him to take action?" Dugu Bo, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of coming in person, which means the matter can still be resolved," Chen Xin said in a deep voice.
Above the Elder Hall, Qian Daoliu looked at Cang Xiao, who was confronting him in the distance, with a somewhat surprised expression.
"An unknown powerhouse? Oh well, let's consider him a pass."
As his figure disappeared, Cang Xiao, who had been on high alert, finally relaxed and returned to the ground.
She glanced at the three people who had gathered around and said, "The matter should be over now, but Xiao Feng, you still need to be careful in the future and try not to wander around outside alone."
"I understand, Great-Grandmother." Chen Feng nodded.
"Auntie, are you alright?" Chen Xin asked, somewhat worried.
"I'm fine. The other party wasn't taking it seriously, and we were quite far apart. If I were injured, I wouldn't be able to survive out here," Cang Xiao said with a smile.
"I really didn't expect that such a powerful person would actually attack Xiao Feng."
"It's probably because I mentioned the Angel God earlier, which displeased him," Chen Feng guessed.
"That's so petty. Can't they even mention it? I didn't say anything bad about her," Dugu Bo complained.
"That's the Priest of the Angel God. Perhaps he considers this disrespectful. Anyway, Xiao Feng, from now on, you'll be in heaven..."
"We should be more cautious about matters related to the gods," Chen Xin reminded him.
"I will, Master."
In the Hall of the Pope, Bibi Dong sensed the fluctuations in the sky gradually subsiding, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.
She entered the Pope's private chamber and whispered, "He's getting impatient."
Another version of her appeared in her line of sight, a playful smile on her face. "Oh dear, I really didn't expect this old man to get so worked up over something like this."
"So what do you think? Should we push things along?" Bibi Dong asked.
How to fuel the flames?
"Award Chen Feng honors, and endorse him in the name of the Spirit Hall."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are a vicious woman, killing not only the victim but also the victim's spirit, how terrifying." The black-robed Bibi Dong lightly tapped Bibi Dong's chest with her finger.
"I'm just valuing talent. We naturally want to recruit someone like Chen Feng. As for what 'killing someone by destroying their spirit' means, I don't understand that," Bibi Dong said expressionlessly.
"Aren't you afraid that old man will just kill the little guy?"
"No, he's very proud; he'll only use his power once at most."
"Hehe, so what kind of honor are you planning to give that little guy? To be honest, I quite like him. If you hadn't come first, the Rakshasa Godhood might have been chosen by him."
"I've already decided on a name for him."
What is it?
"The Sage."
