Soul Master Tournament Forfeit

The Soul Guidance Factory had slowly become stable.

Every day, hundreds of Soul Guidance Devices were shipped out of the factory.

Because the selling price was only one Gold Soul Coin, these ordinary civilian Soul Guidance Devices quickly swept through all of Divine Wind City.

Almost every household had a Soul Guidance Device of its own.

On this day, Feng Yan was handling clan affairs in the council hall.

A disciple from the clan hurried in.

He cupped his fists respectfully and said, "Clan Head."

"An envoy from Spirit Hall requests an audience."

Feng Yan nodded slightly.

"Quick, invite him in."

Soon, a deacon from Spirit Hall slowly walked into the hall.

He presented an invitation with both hands.

"Clan Head Feng."

"His Holiness the Pope ordered us to deliver this."

"This is the invitation for this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

Feng Yan took the invitation and exchanged a few polite words. After that, Spirit Hall's envoy left.

Just then, Feng Xiaoyuan slowly walked into the hall.

"Father."

"Did you call me here for something?"

Feng Yan smiled and handed the invitation over.

"This came from Spirit Hall."

"Registration has officially begun for this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament."

"If we let your eldest brother lead the team this time,"

"we'll definitely win the championship again."

Feng Xiaoyuan took the invitation and gave it a brief glance.

Then he shook his head.

"Father."

"We won't be participating in this year's Soul Master Tournament."

Feng Yan froze at once.

"Not participating?"

"Why?"

Feng Xiaoyuan said slowly, "Eldest Brother is already eighteen now, and his soul power has even broken through to Soul Emperor."

"At present, no one knows Eldest Brother's current cultivation."

"Once Eldest Brother takes part in the Soul Master Tournament, there's no way his Soul Emperor cultivation can be hidden."

"When that happens, the entire continent will reevaluate the Feng Clan."

Hearing this, Feng Yan nodded.

Naturally, he understood that point.

An eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor was enough to shock the entire continent.

However, Feng Xiaoyuan continued, "But that still isn't the main reason."

Feng Yan asked in confusion, "What other reason is there?"

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled.

"If we don't let Eldest Brother take the stage,"

"then the current Divine Wind Academy no longer has any other disciples capable of carrying the banner."

"Although the remaining disciples are fairly strong,"

"But if we're facing Spirit Hall Academy and the other top academies..."

"We have almost no chance of winning."

"In that case, we might as well give up on this year's tournament outright."

"That way, we can put all our energy into the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

Feng Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"True."

"Without Xiaotian..."

"It really would be difficult for Divine Wind Academy to achieve any good results."

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled faintly.

"So we need to start planning carefully for the next tournament."

"The next Soul Master Tournament will be our stage."

Feng Yan looked at Feng Xiaoyuan.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Feng Xiaoyuan said slowly, "Father."

"You can visit the other three Elemental Academies: Blazing Fire Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Thunder Academy."

"Ask whether they're interested in forming a true Elemental Team in advance."

Feng Yan's eyes lit up at that.

"The four great Elemental Academies joining forces..."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"That's right."

"Divine Wind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Thunder Academy."

"These four academies were originally academies for elemental soul masters."

"Each has its own different strengths. If they can join forces ahead of time..."

"Train disciples together, cultivate disciples together, and help them build teamwork together..."

"We can also try for the championship in the next Soul Master Tournament."

Feng Yan nodded thoughtfully.

"This method is indeed feasible."

Feng Xiaoyuan continued, "And if they're all willing..."

"Perhaps we can even take it a step further in the future."

Feng Yan was taken aback.

"A step further?"

Feng Xiaoyuan said slowly, "Yes."

"Truly integrate the four academies and establish a new soul master academy."

"An academy that truly belongs to elemental soul masters."

"By then, not only can teaching staff be shared, but cultivation resources can also be allocated in a unified way."

"The disciples will be familiar with one another."

"A team trained this way will be far beyond anything that could be compared to one hastily assembled at the last minute."

Feng Yan fell silent for a long time.

Only then did he slowly speak.

"Xiaoyuan."

"No one has ever brought up an idea like this before."

Feng Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Someone has to take the first step in everything."

"If the four great Elemental Academies keep fighting on their own..."

"They will never truly be able to contend with Spirit Hall Academy."

"Only by joining forces can we bring the advantages of elemental soul masters to their fullest."

Feng Yan looked at Feng Xiaoyuan before him.

His eyes were filled with relief.

Not only was his talent far beyond ordinary people's.

Even his vision was especially unique.

In the end, Feng Yan slowly rose to his feet, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Good."

"In that case."

"I'll personally make a trip to Blazing Fire Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Thunder Academy over the next few days."

"I'll see what they think."

"And whether they're willing to join with our Divine Wind Academy to form a new team."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded lightly.

"Father."

"Let others fight over this Soul Master Tournament."

"Our goal is to win the next Soul Master Tournament."

Since the Feng Clan had already cooperated with Tianshui Academy before, and the relationship between the two sides had always been quite good, Feng Yan went to Tianshui Academy first.

As soon as Feng Yan arrived at Tianshui Academy, he received a warm welcome from Shui Linglong, the academy's dean.

In the main hall, Shui Linglong said with a smile, "Clan Head Feng."

"May I ask what brings you here this time?"

Feng Yan did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

"Our Divine Wind Academy intends to give up on this Soul Master Tournament."

The moment these words came out, Shui Linglong was clearly stunned as well.

"Give up?"

"Why is that?"

Feng Yan gave a brief explanation, then continued, "Our true goal isn't this tournament, but the next Soul Master Tournament."

"So I hope Divine Wind Academy can form an alliance with Tianshui Academy in advance."

"And establish a new team."

"We'll enter the next Soul Master Tournament with this new team."

After listening, Shui Linglong only pondered for a moment before smiling.

"Clan Head Feng."

"Tianshui Academy and the Feng Clan are already allies."

"If we're forming an alliance to create a new team, Tianshui Academy is naturally willing."

A smile also appeared on Feng Yan's face, and he cupped his fists in thanks.

"Thank you, Dean Shui."

Shui Linglong waved her hand.

"Once I return, I'll inform Bing'er and the others."

"And have them start preparing in advance."
