Shenfeng Academy.
In the core area of Hurricane Canyon, Feng Qingcang, who was meditating and cultivating, suddenly felt a violent wind-attribute energy fluctuation. He frowned slightly and opened his eyes.
"Such powerful wind-attribute energy, why would it appear here?"
Feng Qingcang looked at the azure pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, his expression somewhat grave.
As a fellow wind-attribute Spirit Master, and having consulted Mo Hui on the precise control of spirit power, Feng Qingcang could clearly sense the difference in that azure pillar of light. That level of energy, even if he broke through to Titled Douluo, he feared he still wouldn't be able to reach.
Now that such a high-level energy suddenly appeared, and made itself known to everyone, it was unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse for them!
A moment later, Feng Qingcang sighed and said, "Regardless of whether it's a blessing or a curse, since this thing appeared next to Shenfeng Academy, as the dean of Shenfeng Academy, I must go and see."
With that, Feng Qingcang stood up, two pairs of huge wings grew from his back, and with a shake of his wings, he flew into the air.
"Dean, wait for me, I want to go too!"
Just as Feng Qingcang was about to leave, Feng Xiaotian, who was also cultivating in the core area of Hurricane Canyon, chased after him and shouted at Feng Qingcang.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian chasing after him, Feng Qingcang frowned and reprimanded, "Why are you following? The nature of this anomaly is still unknown, it could be very dangerous. As the person with the highest talent in the academy now, how can you put yourself in danger?"
"Dean, isn't it also possible that it's a blessing? And I am already a Spirit Emperor now, with the ability to protect myself. Don't forget, my Air Blade Multiple Combination and Cutting Wind Wheel are no worse than yours."
Upon hearing Feng Qingcang's words, Feng Xiaotian immediately retorted.
Immediately after, Feng Xiaotian paused for a moment and continued, "And if I'm unwilling to take some risks, how can I keep up with that person's pace?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Qingcang fell silent. Indeed, although Feng Xiaotian was already at sixty-three ranks and his cultivation speed was already very fast, compared to Mo Hui, he was still several levels behind.
There was no way, how could merely sitting in meditation compare to constant opportunities?
If Mo Hui had cultivated normally, reaching seventy ranks by now would already be defying the heavens. But when they last met, Mo Hui had already reached seventy-five ranks, which was clearly not a speed that could be achieved through normal cultivation.
After thinking for a while, Feng Qingcang finally decided to agree to Feng Xiaotian's request. After all, if he didn't agree, Feng Xiaotian would most likely go along anyway.
"Alright, follow me. Remember not to stray too far, or I might not be able to protect you!" Feng Qingcang said to Feng Xiaotian with a serious expression.
Feng Xiaotian immediately brightened and said, "Thank you, Dean, I understand!"
Hearing this, Feng Qingcang nodded in satisfaction, then shook the wings on his back and rapidly flew towards the direction of the light pillar.
However, to accommodate Feng Xiaotian, Feng Qingcang did not fly at full speed.
...
On the other side, a burly middle-aged man with a lion-like beard was rushing towards the azure pillar of light.
Soon, he arrived in front of the azure pillar of light, stopped, and looked around at the surrounding environment.
Not long after he arrived, a golden-white figure stepped on the treetops, rapidly approaching from afar, and soon stopped not far from him.
The middle-aged man frowned when he saw the newcomer and said, "Holy Dragon Du Yunhan?"
"Who do I think it is? So it's Golden Flame Mad Lion Shelson, I've heard much about you!"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the white-haired elder smiled slightly and nodded at the middle-aged man.
However, Shelson snorted coldly upon hearing Du Yunhan's words and said, "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're old. Your era has passed."
Holy Dragon Du Yunhan was a renowned name in the Spirit Master's world a long time ago. He broke through to Spirit Douluo at just under fifty years old, and everyone believed he could break through to Titled Douluo. However, he got stuck at eighty-nine ranks and couldn't break through no matter what, eventually having to retire in obscurity and gradually disappearing from public view.
But Du Yunhan said indifferently, "But I am still a peak Spirit Douluo at eighty-nine ranks, while you have only just broken through to Spirit Douluo a few years ago. Your current cultivation level is at most eighty-two or eighty-three. If you want to defeat me, you'll have to train for a few more years, or invite your ancestor from Spirit Hall, if he's still alive!"
"You…"
Just as Shelson was about to say something more, a bird's cry interrupted their conversation.
"Pidgeot!!!"
A huge brown-Azure Giant Bird emerged from a cave, quickly flew high into the sky, and warned the two, "Pidgeot!!!"
Upon seeing Pidgeot appear, Shelson's expression immediately became grave and he said, "What a powerful Spirit Beast! This aura is at least seventy thousand years old!"
"More than that, this bird is at least eighty thousand years old." Du Yunhan shook his head and said.
At the same time, Du Yunhan was also somewhat surprised that he didn't recognize this type of Spirit Beast, and a hint of vigilance immediately arose in his heart.
With his strength, he could completely contend with an eighty-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, but that also depended on what kind of eighty-thousand-year-old it was.
If it was an eighty-thousand-year-old with a powerful bloodline, even a Titled Douluo could potentially be defeated, let alone him.
"Pidgeot!!!"
While they were talking, Pidgeot warned them again, and shot an Air Blade to the side, directly cutting down trees within a two-hundred-meter radius.
Seeing this, Du Yunhan and Shelson both changed their expressions. If they were hit by that power, they would be heavily injured even if they didn't die.
So Shelson immediately shouted to Du Yunhan, "Let's work together to deal with this Spirit Beast, and then if we find treasure below, we'll split it!"
"Agreed!"
Under the threat of death and an extreme desire for treasure, Du Yunhan and Shelson did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately joining forces to prepare to attack Pidgeot.
"Mad Lion True Body!"
The next moment, two yellow, two purple, and four black spirit rings rose from Shelson's body, and Shelson transformed into a giant golden flame lion several tens of meters tall.
"Roar!!!"
The Golden Flame Lion let out a roar at Mo Hui, and a circular sound wave emanated from the giant lion's mouth, attacking towards Pidgeot, attempting to control Pidgeot with it.
"Holy Dragon Breaking Heaven!"
Du Yunhan naturally wasn't idle either. His body transformed into a white-gold flood dragon several tens of meters long, and he spat out a white light wave from his mouth, spraying it towards Pidgeot.
"Pidgeot!!!"
Seeing this, Pidgeot appeared extremely angry. Since you don't want to live, then I'll grant your wish.
Pidgeot shook its wings, instantly transforming into an azure streak of light, easily dodging both attacks, and arriving behind the Golden Flame Lion.
Then, Pidgeot rapidly flapped its wings, and immediately more than ten Air Blades condensed, quickly forming a huge azure Wind Blade that slashed towards the Golden Flame Lion's head.
