Chapter 229 The First Child.
For the next few days, Wang Xiaofei stayed in Phoenix City, wandering around to see if anything seemed amiss or unreasonable.
Meanwhile, the high-ranking Title Douluos of the Douluo Federation government were all somewhat bewildered after hearing about Soul Cores.
However, when Yang Wudi displayed his Soul Core, especially since he was in a meeting and not meditating, the Soul Core actually operated on its own, leaving everyone stunned.
Based on this, condensing a Soul Core after becoming a Title Douluo has many advantages. First, it can operate on its own, meaning it will cultivate even during rest, greatly increasing cultivation time.
Second, Yang Wudi's time as a Title Douluo is relatively short—it was when Wang Xiaofei first displayed five black and four red Soul Rings at the Elemental Academy. From then until now, before the outbreak of war, it's only been a little over a year, less than two years, and now Yang Wudi has already reached level 93.
Many Title Douluos have cultivated diligently for decades without reaching level 93. Even with 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, their progress wouldn't be that fast. This demonstrates just how fast Yang Wudi's cultivation speed is after acquiring a soul core.
Especially those Title Douluos who have long been stuck at level 92, such as the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo, have seen little progress since reaching the Title Douluo level due to their limited talents. Now, with the appearance of soul cores, it will be an immense opportunity.
Moreover, everyone has heard that almost all the Title Douluos in the Elemental Academy have already condensed soul cores; there are no more Title Douluos at level 91. This speed is almost heaven-defying.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of many, one Title Douluo after another began to condense their soul cores. Of course, why condense soul cores in public? Mainly, it's to allow everyone to participate in the research on soul core formation. Repeated observation will eventually lead to finding a method for condensing soul cores independently. This way, even without Wang Xiaofei, they can still condense soul cores and improve themselves.
After several experiments, it was found that Title Douluo Soul Masters with higher Soul Power levels, stronger Mental Power, or higher Head Soul Bone levels were more likely to condense Soul Cores.
Under Yang Wudi's organization in the Research and Development Department, they had basically mastered the method of condensing Soul Cores. This would become one of the benefits for the Douluo Federation's higher-ups, and also a top secret of the Douluo Alliance's leadership.
After everyone had condensed their Soul Cores, the Research and Development Department, after extensive research, finally compiled their findings into a book. However, this information had already been placed in the Research and Development Department's top-secret archives.
The biggest surprise came from Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Although their Godhood was shattered, their Martial Souls remained. Both of them, relying on their exceptional talent and powerful Head Soul Bones, condensed Soul Cores, meaning they had once again stepped into the Title Douluo realm and seen their future cultivation paths. The two also provided ideas and contributions to the Research and Development Department's Soul Core research, as no one present possessed a higher-level Head Soul Bone than them.
After completing these tasks, Wang Xiaofei and Dean Huo Tianchen left Phoenix City and returned to the Elemental Academy, becoming hands-off managers.
In the following years, Wang Xiaofei lived a peaceful, retirement life at the Elemental Academy, almost oblivious to the outside world.
Without the constraints of the major sects and the struggles between various factions, the entire Douluo Continent became much calmer. The common people no longer needed to contribute anything to the nobles; they would be rewarded for their labor.
Whether commoner or Soul Master, everyone was equal. There was no longer any fear of sudden misfortune or retaliation for offending a Soul Master or noble, because the Douluo Federation's Judgment Department demonstrated extremely strong enforcement power. Anyone who violated the laws of the Douluo Federation would be quickly punished, regardless of their status or powerful backers.
Everyone understood that the laws of the Douluo Federation would be their greatest protection.
The Soul Master world also flourished, with many joining the Douluo Federation government. Universities resumed normal operations, fulfilling their duties of teaching and nurturing.
The only ones suffering were the Soul Masters unwilling to join the Douluo Federation government; their resources and freedom were significantly reduced. Previously, Soul Masters were high and mighty, and even if they committed illegal acts, no one dared to hold them accountable. Now, with the various departments of the Douluo Federation government in control, robbers and murderers alike would be punished by the government.
After the war, society began to calm down, and everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
Wang Xiaofei estimated that within ten years, both the number and quality of Soul Masters would reach pre-war levels. This was a very short timeframe, considering that it typically takes over ten years, or even longer, for Soul Masters to develop normally.
Several months later, a commotion erupted, followed by the cry of a baby.
Hearing this cry, Wang Xiaofei's heart stirred. This was Wang Xiaofei's first child, the first child born after more than 50 years of his two lifetimes.
When the midwife brought a baby to Wang Xiaofei, he saw a little girl. She was somewhat emaciated, her eyes were still closed, a few strands of hair clung to her head, and she was making soft sobs.
The midwife announced, "Congratulations, Dean Wang Xiaofei! It's a lovely girl."
Seeing this, Wang Xiaofei's heart seemed to melt. His hands trembled slightly as he held the baby, his heart pounding with excitement: "I finally have a daughter! I finally have a daughter!"
Wang Xiaofei was overwhelmed with emotion: For my daughter, for her future, I will strive to create a fair and equal environment for her, to let her become the most dazzling star in the world, to let her grow up happily, joyfully, and carefree.
At that moment, Wang Xiaofei felt the joy of having a daughter late in life—pride, joy, and happiness beyond words.
Wang Xiaofei, carrying his daughter, came to Huo Wu's bedside. Huo Wu's face was weary; she lacked her usual arrogance and radiant beauty, but seemed to glow with maternal love.
When Wang Xiaofei brought his daughter to the bedside, her expression was one of excitement and joy: "Xiaofei, let me see my daughter, let me hold her."
Especially when Wang Xiaofei placed her in Huo Wu's arms, her entire face seemed filled with contentment.
Thus, Wang Xiaofei's first daughter was born; she was also Wang Xiaofei's first child.
