38: Chapter 38 Divine Wind Academy, An Unreasonable Request

"Brother Ji, we have arrived at Shenfeng Academy."

Led by Feng Xiaotian, the three passed through several bustling streets and soon arrived at Shenfeng Academy.

The academy was located in the eastern district of Element City, covering a rather vast area.

Ji Xuan looked up; the entire academy building was dominated by blue-grey tones, and the architectural style was simple yet imposing.

He could feel that the entire academy was permeated with a rich wind element aura.

Ji Xuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Feng Xiaotian beside him, and said, "Brother Feng, let's go in."

Feng Xiaotian did not speak much, nodded slightly, and immediately led the two towards the main gate.

There were guards on both sides of the gate, and unauthorized personnel were prohibited from entering.

But under Feng Xiaotian's guidance, Ji Xuan and his companion walked into the academy without any obstruction.

Feng Xiaotian led the way while introducing the various areas of the academy to Ji Xuan.

There were teaching buildings for students to attend classes, grounds specifically for Cultivation, dormitory areas for students to rest, as well as a Soul Fighting Arena.

The layout inside the entire academy was orderly, with roads paved with bluestone connecting various areas.

Various strange plants were planted on both sides of the road, swaying gently in the breeze.

It was just past noon, and many students were fighting in the Soul Fighting Arena, honing their combat experience with each other.

Soon, Feng Xiaotian familiarly led the two through several buildings and arrived in front of an independent office building.

This office building was not large, only two stories high.

The three arrived on the second floor and stopped in front of a wooden door.

A delicate plaque hung on the door, with the words "Dean's Office" written on it.

"My grandfather is inside."

Feng Xiaotian said, stepped forward, and knocked gently on the door of the Dean's Office.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in." A steady and powerful old voice came from inside.

Feng Xiaotian pushed the door open and entered, followed closely by Ji Xuan and his companion.

The office was furnished simply and elegantly.

A large mahogany desk was placed by the window.

Several pots of green plants were placed on the windowsill, adding a touch of vitality to the room.

Against the wall at the back, there was a row of bookshelves, with various books and files neatly arranged on them.

A white-haired old man was sitting behind the large desk, reviewing files.

Seeing them enter, he put down the files in his hand and stood up.

Although the old man was elderly, he was full of vigor, his eyes were bright and piercing, and his green robe made him look even more extraordinary.

"Xiaotian, didn't you go to Hurricane Canyon to Cultivate? Why are you back so soon?"

The old man said, turning his gaze to Ji Xuan and his companion, with a hint of scrutiny: "And these two are?"

Ji Xuan stepped forward directly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Dean Feng, I have long admired you. My name is Ji Xuan, and I come from Spirit Hall."

"Spirit Hall?!" Dean Feng's pupils shrank sharply, and a flash of vigilance crossed his face. "I wonder what business you have here at my Shenfeng Academy, young friend?"

Ji Xuan smiled slightly and turned his gaze to Feng Xiaotian: "To tell you the truth, I want Brother Feng to join Spirit Hall."

Dean Feng's face sank immediately upon hearing this: "Young friend, Xiaotian is the most outstanding young Disciple of our Feng family, and even more so a key student nurtured by Shenfeng Academy. Our Shenfeng Academy has always been independent; he will not join Spirit Hall."

"What if I can help him achieve greater accomplishments?" Ji Xuan was unconcerned, maintaining a faint smile.

"Arrogant!" Dean Feng snorted coldly. "You, a youngster, dare to make such a bold claim?"

As he spoke, he directly released his Spirit Ancestor-level pressure.

Considering the other party's status as Spirit Hall, he did not use his full strength.

However, to his surprise, Ji Xuan's expression remained unchanged under his pressure, as if he were completely unaffected.

Dean Feng was secretly shocked and gradually increased the pressure to the Spirit King level...

Seeing that Ji Xuan's expression remained unchanged, he continued to increase it to Spirit Emperor... Spirit Saint...

Finally, Ji Xuan gave a muffled groan and his body trembled slightly, but he quickly steadied himself, clearly not greatly affected.

Dean Feng was shocked in his heart and was about to continue applying pressure.

"Enough."

Gold Crocodile Douluo, who had been standing silently behind Ji Xuan, suddenly spoke.

Just two words, yet carrying a heart-palpitating power.

Gold Crocodile Douluo lifted his hood and immediately released a trace of his aura. Dean Feng's pressure instantly dissipated.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly, and he fell back into his chair uncontrollably.

In that instant, he felt fear from the depths of his Soul, as if a single look from the other party would be enough to take his life!

The old man in front of him must be a Titled Douluo!

"Your... Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Dean Feng endured the discomfort, stood up quickly, and bowed, his voice trembling slightly.

Golden Crocodile said in a calm tone: "To tell you the truth, Xiao Xuan will be the Saint of Spirit Hall in the future. It is the honor of your Feng family that he has taken a liking to your grandson."

"Saint... Saint?!" Dean Feng gasped, looking at Ji Xuan in shock.

Feng Xiaotian beside him was also full of shock. He never expected that a young man he met by chance would have such an astonishing background!

"Golden Crocodile Junior Martial Uncle, please withdraw your aura." Ji Xuan said softly.

Upon hearing this, Gold Crocodile Douluo immediately restrained his aura.

Dean Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed respectfully to Ji Xuan: "His Highness the Holy Son, please forgive my earlier offense."

There was no other way; the Golden Crocodile behind him was too terrifying. Faced with absolute strength, he had to bow his head.

"Dean Feng, there is no need for such formalities. I am not yet any Saint." Ji Xuan waved his hand.

"Don't worry, even if Brother Feng joins Spirit Hall, I won't take him away right now. He can continue to Cultivate at Shenfeng Academy. Besides..."

Ji Xuan looked at Feng Xiaotian meaningfully: "Shouldn't you ask for his own opinion first?"

Dean Feng looked at his grandson with a complex expression and sighed: "Xiaotian, this matter... decide for yourself."

Feng Xiaotian looked at his grandfather's terrified expression, then at the calm Ji Xuan, and fell into a fierce internal struggle.

He naturally understood what had just happened. To make his grandfather, who was at the Peak of Spirit Douluo, so afraid, the strength of that black-robed old man could be imagined!

Immediately, he thought of the cold attitude Huo Wu had shown him over the years...

He thought of the precise control of wind elements Ji Xuan displayed in Hurricane Canyon...

And he thought of the words Ji Xuan said to him today...

After hesitating for a long time, Feng Xiaotian finally raised his head, looked at Ji Xuan with a firm gaze, and bowed: "His Highness the Holy Son, Xiaotian has an unreasonable request."

"Brother Feng, there is no need for such formalities." Ji Xuan raised his hand to signal. "I am not yet a Saint, you can just call me by my name. Whatever request you have, feel free to say it."

Feng Xiaotian was stunned; he did not expect Ji Xuan to be so easygoing.

"I want to have a fight with you, Brother Ji." Feng Xiaotian said seriously. "If you can defeat me, I am willing to follow you!"

The corners of Ji Xuan's mouth curled up, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "Good, I agree."

Feng Xiaotian stepped aside to make way: "Brother Ji, please."

"Let's go." Ji Xuan nodded in response.

The three immediately walked towards the direction of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Seeing this, Dean Feng also hurriedly followed.

He wanted to see what kind of ability this future Saint of Spirit Hall really had.
