"Brother, the Dean is so generous. He arranged a top-tier dormitory for us, and it even has a huge garden!"
Through the window lattices of ancient trees, moonlight streamed in like water. The vast dormitory building, covering thousands of square meters, was antique and elegant, with a refreshing fragrance. Its simple and tasteful decorations were unique, surrounded by lush trees and flowers, completely different from the modern urban style of Mingdu.
Crystal spirit tools lamps illuminated the interior with dazzling light. Na'er looked left and right, her purple eyes shimmering.
"It's very good."
Feng Zaixing released his mental force to scan the surroundings, thinking that Luan Hongchen's gesture was quite grand.
The lingering fragrance in the villa was made from the essence of several thousand-year-old plant-type Spirit Beasts, ground into a powder. It made it easy to calm the mind and focus during meditation, and also brought considerable benefits to the body.
Considering his large appetite, Luan Hongchen even arranged a dedicated meal cart.
"Mingdu has many commendable aspects, far superior to Shrek, which exploits its students' labor."
He nodded secretly, his thoughts gradually diverging. "Shrek… A demonized academy of a defeated party can still exist today; it's truly peculiar."
According to Body Sect records, after Huo Gua and God King Tang descended ten thousand years ago, the remnants of the Dou Ling Empire sailed away, discovered a new continent, and occupied it after dealing with the indigenous people.
The Douluo Continent was peaceful for a few hundred years before war broke out again. This time, Body Sect chose to retreat and protect itself.
At that time, Tang Sect, already the continent's foremost Sect, and the neutral Holy Land Shrek, still sided with the Star Luo Empire, but they couldn't resist the tide and suffered a crushing defeat.
Afterward, Shrek, Tang Sect, and the Sun Moon Empire secretly negotiated. They reached an agreement with the Sun Moon Empire to preserve their status, on the condition that they would no longer support the Star Luo Empire, persuade the Star Luo Imperial Family to leave, and help appease the populace after the Sun Moon Empire unified the continent.
The Star Luo Empire quietly discovered and occupied a new continent, taking some of its citizens and a large amount of resources overseas. The Douluo Continent was unified.
Few people knew this period of history. Shrek and Tang Sect strove for absolute secrecy, working hard to erase this dark history. Only some ancient Families, Sects, and core federal archives still contained records.
Subsequently, Shrek and Tang Sect, to secure their own power, pushed for the Sun Moon Empire to be reformed into a federation, supported council members from their own factions, and fought for the independent autonomy of Shrek City, a status that continues to this day.
It is worth mentioning that during the event of transforming the Empire into a federation, Spirit Transfer Pagoda also sided with Shrek and Tang Sect.
Within the parliamentary factions, Shrek and Tang Sect were outwardly neutral, but in reality, they were doves.
They held opposing and conservative views on developing spirit tools and waging war against the two continents, secretly developing powerful armaments themselves, completely excavating the underground of Heaven Dou City, and engaging in arms trade between the three continents.
Spirit Transfer Pagoda, on the other hand, was mostly hawkish, supporting the development of spirit tool technology and waging war to unify Douluo Star.
The only consensus between the two factions was to explore space and acquire more resources.
For ten thousand years, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had always held a grudge, wanting to surpass Shrek Academy. However, with the reform of the federation, the former Pan-Continent Advanced Spirit Master and Soul Engineer Academy Competition became the All-Federation Grand Competition. Shrek Academy did not participate, so there was no opportunity for competition.
"Even today, Mingdu has been deeply influenced by the Shrek faction. To uproot it would require a major purge, and this task cannot be left to Evil Soul Masters…"
Seeing the attitude of the Shrek people, Feng Zaixing knew that he would inevitably clash with Shrek in the future, and the scale of the conflict would not be under his control.
He had no intention of compromising. When the opportunity arose, he would give them something big.
"Brother, brother, the garden is so beautiful, let's go out and see it."
Na'er's nimble voice, like a nightingale, called out, pulling Feng Zaixing's thoughts back.
She tugged at Feng Zaixing's arm, pointing at the scene of fireflies dancing outside, a captivating sweet smile blooming on her small face.
"Okay, let's go see."
A comforting smile spread across Feng Zaixing's face. Whenever he saw Na'er's smile, he always felt joyful.
The plants and flowers in the garden were mostly rare and exotic species. The time was just right, spring was deep like the sea, fireflies danced in the air, filling the garden with a rich fragrance, intoxicating and making one forget the night.
Na'er, holding her little skirt, ran happily among the flowers like a silver elf, making it hard to tell whether the flowers were more beautiful or she was.
The bright moonlight shone on Feng Zaixing and Na'er, casting a silvery glow on both them and the flowers. Especially Na'er's silver hair, it sparkled.
At this moment, Feng Zaixing, who was smiling at Na'er, noticed something amiss. His eyes narrowed, and his mental force, far exceeding that of an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm, instantly spread out and converged on Na'er.
"The moonlight is being absorbed by her, and her mental force is rapidly increasing… I almost forgot, the Silver Dragon King is the progenitor of silver Spirit Beasts. This Bloodline can absorb the essence of moonlight and transform it into elemental force…"
Feng Zaixing clearly felt that the moonlight was being refined repeatedly, turning into pure energy and integrating into Na'er's small body.
If his mental force had not reached the Spirit Sea Realm and he hadn't mastered the elemental hearts of three elements, it wouldn't have been so easy to detect.
Feng Zaixing did not move lightly, nor did he call Mu Ye. He had long anticipated this day, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly.
"Could it be that the food here is too good, and the energy supply is too abundant, causing her to Awaken a year early?"
A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and Feng Zaixing thought of a reason that made him want to laugh and cry.
"Forget it, I'll try my best to cover it up."
Feng Zaixing took out a shimmering pearl from his embrace and tossed it. An boundless mental force instantly enveloped this World, as if constructing a brand new mental World.
This was a treasure given by Han Tianyi, who claimed it could block all mental force probes. Feng Zaixing didn't know if this item could block the perceptions of certain powerhouses, but it was worth a try.
"I'll give you a hand."
Feng Zaixing used Han Tianyi's pearl to gather moonlight, drawing in more moonlight, which shone on Na'er like beams of silver spotlight.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, a faint halo quickly and silently emerged from Na'er's body.
Yellow, green, red, blue, purple, gold, silver—seven colors flashed alternately.
Immediately, Na'er's body trembled slightly. After the seven-colored halo flickered for a moment, it began to merge into her glabella. After a long time, she finally regained her calm.
The moonlight was still there, the soft halo on Na'er's body receded, and her delicate body gradually grew larger.
The trembling disappeared, her breathing became even again, but her brows furrowed unconsciously, as if she was having an unpleasant dream.
Suddenly, a sharp silver light flashed in Na'er's palm, and a silver long spear abruptly appeared in her hand. Her entire person also grew a few inches taller.
"Brother, I think I've Awakened my Spirit! Come quickly and see, is Na'er's spear a Spirit? It's like a voice is telling Na'er that it's called silver dragon spear."
Na'er reopened her purple eyes, her gaze overflowing with joyful excitement.
Feng Zaixing took a few steps forward, carefully examining the silver dragon spear for a few moments, then corrected her:
"It is a Spirit, but Na'er, the spearhead of your Spirit is too long. It should be called a 'suo' (a type of long spear or lance)."
The silver dragon spear was over twelve feet long and very slender. Along its slender shaft were fine silver scales, hexagonal and very delicate and even.
This long spear had a spearhead only at one end, and the spearhead's length accounted for about one-third of the entire spear. The spearhead was generally conical, with a total of twelve grooves.
A spearhead that's one-third of the length—what kind of spear is that?
"Oh, it's close enough! Na'er has a Spirit now, so Na'er can become a Spirit Master too!" Na'er said, overjoyed, her rosy little face full of excitement.
"Mm, Na'er will definitely become a very excellent Spirit Master."
Feng Zaixing stroked Na'er's forehead and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, Brother will take Na'er to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. We'll choose the best Spirit Soul."
"Hehe, Brother is the best. Na'er will never forget Brother." Na'er jumped up happily.
"What kind of talk is that…"
Feng Zaixing sighed inwardly. He wasn't made of wood or stone; after two years of constant companionship, it was impossible not to have feelings.
In his spiritual sea, Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger shivered, his face showing surprise.
"Little Fengzi's younger sister is incredible. She controls more elements than this King, and her Bloodline is too strong to be human. Could she be a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast transforming into human form…"
"Eh? A very strong human burst out from underground?"
Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger immediately reminded Feng Zaixing: "Stop joking. The thing you threw attracted a very powerful guy, stronger than Old Man Mu."
Feng Zaixing's pupils flashed, and he immediately retrieved the mental treasure pearl.
In an instant, an old man appeared silently in front of Feng Zaixing and Na'er.
He was tall, dressed in a water-fire-sun-moon robe, with bright eyes. His facial features vaguely showed that he must have been a handsome man in his youth.
"I've long heard from that kid Hongchen that a young man has come to our Academy. It seems his eyesight isn't good; there are clearly two Geniuses."
The old man smiled, his eyes reflecting the impressive Senior Brother and Junior Sister.
Feng Zaixing knew the other party's identity and stepped forward to greet him: "Junior represents Teacher Mu Ye and Teacher Zhen Hua in greeting His Excellency Sun Moon."
"You are Zhen Hua's student?"
Kong Yao's expression shifted, and his smile broadened: "What a surprise. Don't be afraid, though this old man rarely leaves home, he never eats people."
"I originally thought an old friend had suddenly visited, but it turns out to be a student of our Academy."
Kong Yao looked at the two with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, "You already have a master, so this old man will not take what is not his. I am very interested in this little girl behind you. Would you be willing to let her Cultivate with this old man?"
"This old man has some status in this Academy and the entire federation. With a bit of luck, I could Cultivate a Limit Douluo."
