New Team

Three days later.

The Feng Clan's council hall.

Today, the Feng Clan was livelier than ever.

Tianshui Academy's dean, Shui Linglong.

Blazing Fire Academy's dean, Huo Lie.

Thunder Academy's dean, Yu Lanting.

All of them had already arrived, and the three sat on either side of the hall.

Servants continuously brought in tea and refreshments.

The atmosphere in the hall was exceptionally harmonious.

Huo Lie lifted his teacup and said with a smile, "I didn't expect this."

"Brother Feng moved so quickly."

"Just a few days ago, you came to me about forming a new team."

"And now you've actually gathered the four great academies for the first discussion."

Shui Linglong also nodded lightly.

"It seems the Feng Clan truly attaches great importance to the next Soul Master Elite Tournament."

Yu Lanting said slowly, "Starting preparations one tournament early is indeed much steadier than in previous years."

"If forming the new team goes smoothly, then next time, we may not be unable to contend with Spirit Hall Academy."

As the three were speaking, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Hahahaha."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone."

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Feng Yan slowly walk into the hall.

Then, just as they were about to rise and greet him, they suddenly noticed that beside Feng Yan was an elderly man dressed in dark green robes.

The instant they saw the old man, the expressions of the three deans changed at the same time, their pupils contracting sharply.

"Poison Douluo."

Huo Lie was the first to cry out in shock.

"Dugu Bo."

Shui Linglong was likewise utterly stunned.

Yu Lanting stood up outright, his gaze fixed tightly on Dugu Bo.

His eyes were filled with disbelief. None of them had ever imagined that Dugu Bo would appear in the Feng Clan.

Feng Yan looked at their reactions and said with a smile, "Everyone, allow me to introduce him."

"Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."

"He is now a good friend of our Feng Clan."

Dugu Bo laughed heartily and waved a hand casually.

"No need to be nervous, everyone."

"This old man only came today to listen in."

"And to take a look at the affairs of the younger generation along the way."

"This old man won't interfere."

Though Dugu Bo spoke lightly, the hall remained completely silent.

The three deans exchanged glances, each seeing shock in the others' eyes.

Feng Yan.

A ninety-first-rank Title Douluo.

Dugu Bo.

A ninety-third-rank Title Douluo.

The Feng Clan actually had two Title Douluo at the same time.

At this moment, the three deans finally realized it.

The Feng Clan of today was no longer the Elemental Academy it had once been.

Instead, it had truly become an existence that could rank among the continent's top powers.

Huo Lie could not help giving a wry smile.

"Brother Feng."

"It seems what you said before really wasn't boasting."

"None of us expected Senior Poison Douluo to be a friend of your Feng Clan as well."

Feng Yan merely smiled and did not explain.

Naturally, he would not tell everyone that Dugu Bo's relationship with the Feng Clan was actually all because of Feng Xiaoyuan.

Yu Lanting also drew in a deep breath, then slowly said, "The Feng Clan now has two Title Douluo."

"Looking across the entire continent, aside from the Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall..."

"I'm afraid no other force can compare to the Feng Clan anymore."

Shui Linglong nodded as well.

"No wonder Clan Head Feng proposed this plan."

"So the Feng Clan already had this kind of confidence all along."

When Dugu Bo heard this, he could not help laughing heartily.

"You few can rest easy."

"As for this new team plan, you still have to discuss it yourselves."

"This old man is only responsible for drinking tea and eating snacks."

With a single sentence, the slightly tense atmosphere in the hall instantly eased.

Everyone laughed one after another, and Feng Yan took the opportunity to sit in the main seat.

He looked around at everyone, then slowly spoke.

"Since everyone is here..."

"Let's first discuss the details of this new team."

"First, we need to decide the candidates for the new team in advance."

The three deans nodded at the same time.

Naturally, they had no objection to this.

Feng Yan was the first to speak.

"Our Divine Wind Academy can provide two people."

"My youngest son, Feng Xiaoyuan, and Ye Lingling."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Lie was slightly startled.

"Ye Lingling."

"Isn't she from the Ye Clan?"

Feng Yan smiled and explained, "That's right."

"But she has already decided to join Divine Wind Academy."

Everyone immediately nodded.

However, Yu Lanting frowned.

"Brother Feng."

"Why not your eldest son, Feng Xiaotian?"

"With Feng Xiaotian's current strength, shouldn't he be Divine Wind Academy's core figure?"

Huo Lie also looked puzzled.

"Exactly."

"If Feng Xiaotian doesn't take part, wouldn't that be far too much of a pity?"

Shui Linglong also looked toward Feng Yan.

She waited for his answer.

Feng Yan's expression was calm; clearly, he had already prepared his explanation.

"By the time of the next Soul Master Elite Tournament, Xiaotian will already be twenty-four."

"Besides, Xiaotian told me he intends to enter seclusion and break through to a higher realm."

"So he will not participate in the next Soul Master Elite Tournament."

Although the three deans felt somewhat regretful, they did not continue pressing the matter.

Just then, Dugu Bo, who had been sitting off to the side drinking tea the whole time, laughed.

"In that case, this old man will recommend a spot as well."

Everyone looked over at the same time. Dugu Bo said with a smug expression, "My Yanyan should count as one too."

"As my granddaughter, Dugu Bo's granddaughter,"

"her talent is no worse than those youngsters from your families."

Feng Yan smiled and nodded.

"Yanyan has joined Divine Wind Academy as well, so naturally she qualifies."

Seeing that three people had already entered the roster for this new team, Huo Lie immediately could not sit still.

"In that case, our Blazing Fire Academy can also provide two people."

"Huo Wu."

"Martial Soul: Fire Shadow. Fourteen years old, thirty-fifth-rank Control System Soul Elder."

"Her control ability is extremely strong, and her future potential is limitless."

"Huo Wushuang."

"Martial Soul: Single-Horned Fire Tyrant Dragon. Fifteen years old, thirty-sixth-rank Power Attack System Soul Elder."

"In close combat, he has few opponents among his peers."

"I believe the two of them are fully qualified to enter this new team."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Linglong smiled and spoke up.

"Since Dean Huo has recommended two people,"

"then naturally, my Tianshui Academy cannot fall behind."

"Shui Bing'er."

"Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix. Fourteen years old, thirty-fifth-rank Control System Soul Elder."

"Shui Yue'er."

"Martial Soul: Lustrous Jade Dolphin. Thirteen years old, twenty-ninth-rank Agility Attack System Grand Soul Master."

"The sisters also possess a Martial Soul fusion skill."

"Once unleashed, its power is far more than a simple matter of one plus one."

After Shui Linglong finished speaking, Yu Lanting also slowly spoke.

"Our Thunder Academy has only one person."

"Lei Jie."

"His Martial Soul is pure lightning element, and his innate soul power was rank nine."

"He is now a twelve-year-old, twenty-eighth-rank Power Attack System Grand Soul Master."

"His powerful offensive strength is absolutely no inferior to anyone his age."

"I believe that, with his attack power, he can absolutely become a core member of the new team."
