I Want to Grow Bigger and Stronger, and Recreate the Glory of Omphalos

On the plaza, everyone had already lined up.

Ye Qiong walked to the front of the steps and turned around, revealing the two people behind him.

"Let me introduce two new students to everyone: Feng Jin and Aglaia."

Aglaia looked at the crowd, her smile charming and graceful.

Feng Jin, on the other hand, wore a vibrant, energetic smile and waved at everyone.

"Hello, everyone!"

Ye Qiong continued:

"Aglaia, Martial Soul Golden Cocoon, level thirty-four, Control System."

"Feng Jin, Martial Soul Eye of Dawn and Dusk, level thirty-three, Support-Healing System."

A low murmur of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

It seemed two more exceptionally talented students had arrived.

Seeing their reaction, Ye Qiong clapped his hands:

"Alright, settle down everyone. I have an announcement to make."

The crowd on the plaza immediately fell silent, all eyes turning toward Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong scanned the group and announced:

"I have decided to relocate the academy to Heaven Dou City!"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire assembly was shocked.

Relocate to Heaven Dou? Had they heard correctly?

But before they could even ask a question, the ground beneath the entire academy began to glow with a golden light.

Every building vanished into thin air.

The crowd gasped in disbelief, and Wang Sheng and the others stood with their mouths agape.

Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi stood in the center of the main hall, holding a letter that had just arrived.

Chen Xin sat nearby, watching the letter in Ning Fengzhi's hand. Like an anxious father, he rubbed his hands together:

"Well, Fengzhi, what does Ye Qiong say in the letter?"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Xin and offered a faint smile:

"Ye Qiong says he plans to move the academy he built to Heaven Dou."

Chen Xin was stunned:

"He's going to develop in Heaven Dou City?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and handed the letter to him.

Chen Xin took the letter, scanned it, and then burst into hearty laughter:

"As expected of my disciple. He's only been out for a few months, yet he has already managed to get his academy running in perfect order. Good, very good."

After saying this, he looked at Ning Fengzhi:

"Fengzhi, weren't you planning to visit Heaven Dou City soon? It's perfect; we can go and see that boy Ye Qiong's academy while we're there."

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "That was my intention, though we can also take the opportunity to visit Rongrong."

"Rongrong is going to Heaven Dou too?" Chen Xin asked, surprised.

"That's right. Rongrong is about to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy along with Shrek Academy."

Chen Xin frowned upon hearing this:

"Why do I get the feeling that their trip to Heaven Dou won't go smoothly?"

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not easy to enter. Given the backgrounds of the people in Shrek, he highly doubted they would be welcomed by the nobles or the royals there; in fact, he suspected they might be driven out.

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand:

"Whether it goes smoothly or not, joining Shrek was Rongrong's own choice. Let her be."

Chen Xin sighed:

"True. Ye Qiong was right; we spoiled her too much in the past. It's a good thing to let her go out and gain some experience now. There's no need for us to worry about it."

"By the way, why hasn't Old Gu returned yet?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly:

"Uncle Gu has already followed Ye Qiong to Heaven Dou."

Chen Xin slapped the table and laughed, cursing: "That old bag of bones! We agreed on one month each to secretly guard Ye Qiong and Rongrong's safety. It's been nearly a month and a half, and not only has he failed to return to swap shifts with me, but he's actually run off to Heaven Dou!"

"No, I must guard them for two full months this time—half a month longer than that old codger!"

Ning Fengzhi helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Heaven Dou City.

Ye Qiong led everyone out of Ti Bao's teleportation gate.

He had everyone check into a hotel in the city first, then went to the Heaven Dou City branch office and paid to purchase a plot of land outside the city.

The next day, when Ye Qiong brought everyone to the open space, He waved his hand gently, Omphalos Academy landed once more.

Everyone was stunned.

They hadn't expected Ye Qiong to have such a method of moving.

So last time in Soto City, the dean had also moved the academy out like this? It wasn't an illusion as they had thought.

Amazing, truly amazing.

Was this Dean still a Soul Sage?

Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Ye Qiong clapped his hands.

"Everyone, from today onwards, this Heaven Dou City will be your new stage. You will achieve better development here, and at the same time, you will face greater challenges."

"Do you have the confidence to forge a resounding reputation here?"

After more than a month, everyone present was no longer the same as they were then.

Facing Ye Qiong's question, they all answered in unison:

"Yes!"

Ye Qiong nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, then go and prepare. We will go to the Simulation Realm for training later."

After saying this, Ye Qiong returned to his office.

He looked at the layout map of the Heaven Dou City academies on his desk, at the few renowned academies, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He would definitely continue to expand and strengthen Omphalos, recreating its past glory in the Honkai Star Rail world.

And the next step would be to make a name for themselves in the upcoming competition.

Heaven Dou Grand Soul Fighting Arena.

The host Doudou announced in a high-pitched voice the two opposing teams for the next team match:

The Feng-Ya Duo versus the Silver Blood Duo.

The two brothers of the Silver Blood Duo, Silver One and Silver Two, walked out from the resting area.

Both were over two meters tall, their upper bodies bare, their muscles like iron lumps.

Seeing them, the audience erupted in cheers:

"Silver Blood Duo! Level thirty-eight Power Attack brothers!"

"The opposing team, Omphalos? Never heard of them."

"A new academy, are they? They're going up against the Silver Blood Duo right away, they're probably going to cry."

Silver One grinned and shouted towards the opposing resting area:

"Hey, where are your people? Are you afraid and going to forfeit?"

Ye Qiong sat at the front of the resting area and glanced at Aglaia and Feng Jin beside him.

"It's your turn, hurry up and let them see what you're capable of."

The two nodded and walked onto the stage side by side.

Seeing them, Silver One sneered.

"Two little girls? Is your academy out of people?"

Aglaia remained silent, merely raising her hand slightly.

Her martial soul, the Golden Cocoon, immediately appeared behind her.

The referee announced the start.

Silver One and Silver Two both vibrated their arms, and two yellow spirit rings and one purple spirit ring rose.

Then, a layer of silver-gray fist covered their fists.

Third Spirit Skill, Silver Armor Heavy Punch!

He stomped his foot, and his entire body shot towards Aglaia like a cannonball.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng in the resting area suddenly stood up, wanting to shout a warning, but Jiang Zhu grabbed him.

"Don't rush, just watch."

Facing the opponent's offensive, Aglaia stood her ground, showing no intention of dodging at all.

Seeing the opponent about to approach, she gently raised her left hand.

The next second, countless golden threads shot out, instantly entangling Silver One's body.

Aglaia calmly reeled in the threads, lifting him into the air.

"Brother!"
