Godwind Academy's Headmaster, Feng Qingcang

"Hmm? How did a little kid like you end up here?"

The figure was slightly taken aback when he saw Mo Hui, his voice tinged with surprise.

Seeing this, Mo Hui cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

During his time at Godwind Academy, he had gotten to know nearly all the academy's teachers. He had no recollection of anyone like the person before him.

"Me? Hahaha, you're a student of Godwind Academy, aren't you? How can you not know me? I'm the biggest authority in all of Godwind Academy. Who do you think I am?"

The man stroked his beard and laughed.

A trace of surprise flashed through Mo Hui's eyes upon hearing that. Could the man before him be...

"Looks like you've guessed it. That's right, I'm the headmaster of Godwind Academy."

Noticing Mo Hui's reaction, the man immediately realized that Mo Hui had figured out his identity and stated it directly.

It really was him.

Mo Hui could not help but sigh. He had never expected that his first meeting with Godwind Academy's headmaster would be inside Hurricane Canyon rather than in an office.

Godwind Academy's headmaster was named Feng Qingcang. His martial soul was the Azure Eagle, and he was a level seventy-nine Soul Sage. He was now around fifty years old. It was hard to say whether he would eventually break through to become a Titled Douluo, but becoming a Soul Douluo was certain. On the Douluo Continent, he was already considered a top-tier powerhouse.

Feng Qingcang then looked Mo Hui over and asked, "And what is your name? Haven't the teachers told you that unless you possess the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor, it's best not to enter the core area?"

As a Soul Sage only one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo, Feng Qingcang naturally saw through Mo Hui's cultivation with ease. He was merely a Soul Elder who had only recently acquired his third soul ring, not even at level thirty-two yet.

For someone with such cultivation to dare enter Hurricane Canyon's core area, especially when Mo Hui looked so young, inevitably stirred a trace of curiosity in Feng Qingcang.

"This student is Mo Hui. The reason I risked entering the core area was to pursue a faster cultivation speed!"

When Feng Qingcang asked, Mo Hui promptly answered.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Feng Qingcang stroked his beard and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Reaching level thirty-one at your age is already quite astonishing, yet you're still not satisfied? Could it be that you want to break through to Soul King before turning twenty?"

Mo Hui appeared to be only around twelve years old. Reaching Soul Elder at such an age was not unheard of, but it was close. Yet from what Mo Hui was saying, he was still dissatisfied and wanted to cultivate even faster?

"If there's a chance to become faster, then I have to try, don't I? Before twenty is the golden period for Soul Power cultivation. If I can't raise my Soul Power Level as much as possible before then, it will only become harder afterward!"

Mo Hui replied without hesitation.

His current goal was to raise his level by every means possible. As long as his Soul Power Level rose, no problem would be a problem.

No matter how formidable one's combat techniques or ultimate moves were, they could not compare to the certainty of overwhelming someone with sheer level advantage. Though his combat techniques and ultimate moves were not weak; they could even be called very strong.

Mo Hui's words made Feng Qingcang pause. Then, seemingly recalling something, he sighed. "Good lad. To have such awareness at such a young age, no wonder you became a three-ringed Soul Elder so early."

Naturally, Feng Qingcang had thought of Feng Xiaotian. Feng Xiaotian was far too restless, diverting his attention during the best years for raising Soul Power to develop some Self-Created Soul Skill. Later, he had even been affected by matters of the heart. Otherwise, with his talent of Innate Full Soul Power, it would have been impossible for him to have only just broken through level forty by now.

Reaching level forty at twenty would naturally make someone an absolute genius among other students, but for Feng Xiaotian, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power, that speed could only be described as extremely slow.

Just compare him to Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, and it would be clear exactly how slow Feng Xiaotian's progress had been.

Hu Liena broke through level forty at fifteen and became a Soul King at nineteen.

Xie Yue broke through level forty at sixteen and became a Soul King at nineteen.

Although the original story never explicitly stated it, Yan was likely around the same.

It should be known that none of those three from Spirit Hall possessed Innate Full Soul Power. In theory, their cultivation speed should have been slower than Feng Xiaotian's, yet the difference was so vast. That alone showed just how much time Feng Xiaotian had wasted.

"Since that is the case, I'll give this to you. I hope you won't forget your original aspirations."

Perhaps because he saw another possibility in Mo Hui, Feng Qingcang handed him a small booklet.

Mo Hui accepted the booklet and skimmed through it. His eyes immediately lit up. He closed it and said gratefully to Feng Qingcang, "Thank you, Headmaster!"

Feng Qingcang smiled and nodded, then left Hurricane Canyon's core area.

After Feng Qingcang left, Mo Hui eagerly opened the booklet Feng Qingcang had given him once more.

There was not much in the booklet, but it was exceedingly important to Mo Hui at this stage. It contained Feng Qingcang's insights on cultivating within Hurricane Canyon, even recording methods to lessen the effects of the core area's storms on oneself.

With Mo Hui's current level, cultivating in Hurricane Canyon's core area was still too much of a strain. Forcing himself to cultivate there would not only fail to improve his cultivation speed, but might even place him in danger.

However, now that he possessed Feng Qingcang's experience in cultivating within Hurricane Canyon, the situation was completely different. Mo Hui now had the qualifications to cultivate in Hurricane Canyon's core area, which meant his cultivation speed would increase even further.

Mo Hui withdrew from the core area and carefully read through the cultivation insights Feng Qingcang had given him. Only after making sure he had fully understood them did he enter the core area again.

Still, Mo Hui did not become overconfident. He merely found a spot near the outer edge of the core area, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating.

Meanwhile, after leaving Hurricane Canyon, Feng Qingcang discovered that the teachers and students around him were acting somewhat strangely, seemingly discussing something.

He suddenly appeared, placed a hand on one teacher's shoulder, and asked, "Teacher Feng Yan, did something happen at the academy? Why do all of you seem so odd?"

"Headmaster, you've finished cultivating!"

Feng Qingcang's sudden appearance gave Feng Yan a fright. But after calming himself, Feng Yan quickly explained to Feng Qingcang:

"Something major did happen. A student named Mo Hui just defeated more than a dozen upperclassmen in the Soul Duel Arena. Even Feng Xiaotian lost to him. The teachers and students throughout the academy are all discussing it now."

"Mo Hui?"

Feng Qingcang was slightly stunned upon hearing the name.

Wasn't that the student he had just encountered in the core area? But he seemed to be only level thirty-one. How had he defeated Feng Xiaotian?
