Chapter 207: Expansion of the Body Sect
Feng Xiaotian and the others carefully considered their decision to come to the Body Academy.
Recently, Long Gong Meng Shu and the Snake Woman had become quite famous in the soul master world. Long Gong Meng Shu was a top-tier Soul Douluo with a very high position in the soul master world. Especially with the unique martial soul fusion skill of the Dragon and Snake couple, they had basically reached the level of Title Douluos.
Now that Long Gong had broken through to the Title Douluo level, apart from the major sects, he could be considered the only independent Title Douluo in the soul master world.
Moreover, Long Gong Meng Shu had long been engaged in the education sector, and his influence in the education world was even higher.
The Four Elements Academy's move to Tiandou City was partly to seek refuge and partly to escape the entanglement and manipulation of Wuhun Hall.
After their investigation, they found that only the Tiandou Royal Academy and the Body Academy could accommodate the Four Elements Academy in Tiandou City.
Moreover, when comparing the teaching styles, only the Elemental Academy seemed to be genuinely focusing on learning and cultivation. Other academies were showing signs of disintegration.
After Wuhun Hall's recent aggressive tactics, the entire soul master world had begun to split.
Soul masters typically lived in family groups, with ordinary parents, meaning the probability of their children becoming soul masters was very low.
Wuhun Hall had been coercing and tempting many scattered cultivators and soul master families to join Wuhun Hall, leading their children to join as well. Many high-ranking members of soul master academies were also part of Wuhun Hall.
In contrast to these splintered high-level soul master academies, the Body Academy appeared to be an isolated paradise.
It not only had a good cultivation environment, with a Title Douluo presiding, but also abundant resources, making it an ideal place for cultivation.
Facing Feng Xiaotian's doubts, Yang Xiong helplessly shook his head: "Feng brother, I know your current situation, but you should know the structure of the Body Academy. Most of the people here are from the Single Attribute Three Families."
"Recently, both the Single Attribute Three Families and the Gaishi Dragon Snake Family are planning to move out of Tiandou City, so the Body Academy will also move."
"Of course, if you need it, I can leave part of the Body Academy's original facilities behind, but whether or not we'll be coerced by Wuhun Hall in the future, I can't interfere with that."
Feng Xiaotian and the others looked closely at the situation and found that it wasn't Long Gong, the Title Douluo, who was in charge but rather Yang Xiong. It seemed a bit out of order.
Feng Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Yang brother, could you tell us where you plan to move the Body Academy? Could it be to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Yang Xiong shook his head: "Not Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but the situation there is more complicated, so there are still some difficulties."
Feng Xiaotian was startled: "Yang brother, are you saying that the Single Attribute Three Families and the Gaishi Dragon Snake Family are moving together? Are you planning to participate in the sect conference and establish a new sect?"
Yang Xiong couldn't help but look at Feng Xiaotian with a bit more admiration. Not only did this guy have high cultivation talent, but his mind was also quite flexible, as he immediately connected the situation with the sect conference.
However, Yang Xiong smiled and said: "It is indeed related to the sect conference, but we're not planning to participate in any sect conference. In my opinion, this so-called sect conference is just a farce. You've been in the soul master world for a while, so you should understand the true nature of Wuhun Hall."
Feng Xiaotian and the others fell silent upon hearing this. Recently, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been attacked, and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon family was destroyed. Although Wuhun Hall had publicly announced that they would investigate the perpetrators of the two sects' attacks, everyone knew that Wuhun Hall was the one behind it.
Wuhun Hall's tyrannical actions and ruthless methods were likely aimed at unifying the soul master world, which was why the Four Elements Academy had hastily decided to move to Tiandou City.
Feng Xiaotian and the others, hearing Yang Xiong's words, also decided to discuss the matter further before making a decision.
At that moment, Long Gong spoke up with confusion: "Sect Master, I see that the Four Elements Academy is quite strong. Have you considered inviting them to join the Body Sect?"
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before replying: "The Four Elements Academy is purely a teaching academy. They probably won't join our Body Sect. Moreover, each of them has its own faction behind them, and even though they are somewhat distant, their joining might cause complications."
"Furthermore, we established the Body Academy not to expand our influence but to cultivate our own talents, which is why we haven't recruited many students."
Long Gong felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this. While he valued the education and training of students, he also understood the complexities of the soul master world.
Soon, Feng Xiaotian and the others came to a conclusion.
Feng Xiaotian's expression became resolute: "Yang brother, if we were to join the Body Academy, would we move along with you? Would you treat us fairly, just as you do your own disciples?"
Yang Xiong looked a bit confused: "Feng brother, everyone in the Body Academy is equal. However, each family has its own methods of training, and we are simply providing a platform."
"Why does the Elemental Academy still want to join the Body Academy? Aren't you worried about potential problems in the future? After all, your Elemental Academy has always focused on teaching, never aligning with any factions."
Feng Xiaotian's face showed a bitter smile: "Yang brother, I fully understand what you mean, but I also understand the current situation in the soul master world."
"We came to Tiandou City not just to find a stable support but also to find an environment suitable for our teaching and development. After observing Tiandou City recently, I realize that there is no truly peaceful place left in this world."
"And your Body Academy is the only place that makes us feel at ease. It might be the best place for our Elemental Academy to continue its legacy."
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking: "Feng brother, the Body Academy can accept you, but there will be some changes here soon. The Single Attribute Three Families and the Gaishi Dragon Snake Family are going to establish a new sect, one that is more independent and stringent."
"From now on, all members joining the Body Academy will also join the sect, including you. This requires you to give up more. Aren't you afraid that there might be problems later?"
Feng Xiaotian shook his head: "We don't mind that. Yang brother, I trust your character. Besides, with Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect backing you, even if something goes wrong, it won't be a major issue, and we won't all be dragged down."
"But I have one more question. If the Elemental Academy joins the Body Academy, can you ensure that all our members will be treated fairly? Will you interfere with our teaching?"
Yang Xiong shook his head: "No, we won't. While the Body Academy has unified education, each family still has its own training essence. We won't restrict anyone's development."
"However, Feng brother, you must think carefully. Once you make a decision, there will be no turning back. Both the Body Academy and our new sect have relatively strict management systems."
Feng Xiaotian didn't hesitate: "That's fine. Perhaps our Elemental Academy's methods are a bit outdated."
It was clear that Feng Xiaotian and the others had studied the soul master world's recent changes. The methods of cultivation seemed to be evolving, and people were gradually paying more attention to physical training.
Yang Xiong showed a hint of confusion: "Feng brother, since you're willing to pay such a high price, why don't you consider joining Tiandou Royal Academy?"
Feng Xiaotian laughed: "What's the difference between joining Tiandou Royal Academy or other academies in Tiandou City and joining the Tiandou royal family? If we don't pay a certain price, the Tiandou royal family won't accept us."
"Now, the soul master world is in turmoil, and with so many soul masters flooding into Tiandou City, I'm sure there will be a huge change soon. At that point, even the destruction of our entire Elemental Academy might not be out of the question."
"We know that in the soul master world, without a strong backing, it's difficult to survive. Moreover, with the ten-thousand-year transformed spirit beast now appearing, the various forces in Tiandou City are complicated, and whether it's for the ten-thousand-year spirit beast or other things, a great battle seems inevitable."
"You were born in Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and with Long Gong Meng Shu here, even if someone wanted to provoke the Body Academy, they likely don't have the strength. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has two Title Douluos, as well as Master Ning, a top-tier support soul master."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. He had underestimated Feng Xiaotian and their decisiveness and also underestimated the current crisis in the soul master world.
"Then, congratulations to you. The Body Academy will not disappoint anyone."
Feng Xiaotian and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as though a great weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
But Feng Xiaotian quickly spoke: "Yang brother, may I ask where you plan to move the Body Academy, and what will the new sect be called?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "The new sect I'm establishing is called the Body Sect, and we'll be moving to Thunder Gorge."
As soon as Yang Xiong finished speaking, his entire body turned blood red, with golden patterns covering him. At the same time, two yellow, one purple, two black, and two red soul rings appeared.
When the two ten-thousand-year soul rings appeared, Feng Xiaotian and the others were taken aback.
Although Feng Xiaotian had been working hard on his cultivation, he had only recently reached the Soul Emperor level.
He never expected Yang Xiong to have risen from level 40 to the Soul Sage level in just five years, and the sight of two ten-thousand-year soul rings was truly shocking.
"Welcome, Feng brother and everyone. The future of our sect will be the most powerful in history, and the Body Academy will be the best showcase for your teaching. The Four Elements Academy will certainly last for thousands of years."
"Of course, you can still reconsider, but once you join, I hope you will treat the Body Sect and Body Academy as your home."
...
After that, Yang Xiong left all the details to Long Gong to handle.
However, according to Yang Xiong's plan, the Elemental Academy would be treated similarly to the Single Attribute Families, with the heads of the Elemental Academies becoming elders of the Body Sect. All students would study together, with separate education for each department, much like the university system from a past life.
This was quite similar to the current model of the Body Academy, where students not only received physical cultivation but also training from their respective families with slight variations.
After the two ten-thousand-year soul rings were revealed, the discussions went smoothly.
Long Gong detailed the changes within the Body Academy and the treatment of the Elemental Academy after their inclusion, which greatly impressed Feng Xiaotian and the others.
After the discussions, the heads of the Elemental Academy would visit soon to discuss the details of the academy's relocation.
However, according to Yang Xiong and Long Gong's plan, the Elemental Academy would remain inactive in the short term and then move to Thunder Gorge together.
It was clear that Long Gong valued the Four Elements Academy greatly. Although they lacked top-tier experts, the Elemental Academy was a well-known and prestigious institution in the Tiandou region, with deep roots and unique qualities in their teaching.
Yang Xiong and Long Gong's plan for the Body Academy's structure seemed to fit the Elemental Academy perfectly, not to mention that Thunder Gorge was already recognized as a training paradise for soul masters. Unfortunately, the Elemental Academy didn't have the strength to claim it.
