A moment later, the the Flame Family Patriarch calmed down and spoke to his subordinate who was reporting, "You may leave first."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
The subordinate cupped his hands and then quickly left the room.
At this moment, the Elder who had been watching from the side spoke, "Patriarch, should we investigate this matter?"
"Of course, we must investigate. Otherwise, what would become of the reputation of our the Flame Family?"
The the Flame Family Patriarch replied without hesitation.
Xie Erxun was not only one of their the Flame Family's only two Spirit Douluo, but also the person most likely to break through to Titled Douluo in their the Flame Family.
If such a person died and their the Flame Family remained indifferent, it would be a significant blow to both the family's reputation and its cohesion.
"But Elder Xie Erxun was a Spirit Douluo. The fact that the opponent could kill him shows that they have at least Spirit Douluo level combat power. For the current the Flame Family, we can no longer afford any losses."
Another Elder said with some concern.
The the Flame Family Patriarch glanced at that Elder and said, "Well said. How about you go and tell the clansmen that?"
"This…"
Upon hearing this, that Elder immediately choked. Who would dare to say such a thing? Whoever said it would be a traitor to the family, wouldn't they?
At this moment, the the Flame Family Patriarch looked at a thin middle-aged man in the corner and said, "Elder Six, do you have any opinions?"
Elder Six said, "I think it's too early to draw conclusions. The Patriarch can seal off the news of Elder Xie Erxun's death and then send people to investigate the cause of Elder Xie Erxun's death. This matter may not necessarily be man-made. What if it was caused by a Spirit Beast?"
The the Flame Family Patriarch pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very good. Since this method was proposed by you, Elder Six, then the investigation into Elder Xie Erxun's death will be entrusted to you, Elder Six. I grant you special permission to bring that Spirit Master out of the family to assist you."
Upon hearing this, Elder Six immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Patriarch. Then I shall go first."
After Elder Six left, the the Flame Family Patriarch sighed and said, "I hope it really was caused by a Spirit Beast. Otherwise, things will be a bit troublesome."
...
Shenfeng Academy.
"Wind Dean, your Shenfeng Academy truly lives up to its name as a champion academy. It seems much stronger than the Beast Academy my granddaughter attends."
Dragon Duke looked at the diligently cultivating students within Shenfeng Academy and their exceptionally high quality, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingcang modestly replied, "Oh, no, no. Every academy has its strengths, and you can't generalize. We were just lucky enough to recruit some talented students."
However, although Feng Qingcang remained expressionless on the surface, his heart was already overjoyed.
The quality of Shenfeng Academy's students has improved by more than one level compared to a few years ago, and because they won the championship in the last All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Shenfeng Academy's student enrollment is also much stronger than before.
Under these circumstances, Feng Qingcang is confident in winning the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament championship again.
Hearing Feng Qingcang's humble remarks, Dragon Duke's mouth twitched slightly.
What "just happened to recruit some talented students"? They clearly recruited two top-tier geniuses!
Especially the one named Mo Hui, a fifteen-year-old Spirit King, whose strength swept the entire field, which was simply outrageous to the extreme.
However, Dragon Duke had seen similar scenes before, so he immediately smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Wind Dean is still too modest! Although I have only recently arrived at your esteemed academy, judging from the cultivation of the students I have seen so far, it is much higher than other academies."
Dragon Duke's words were sincere. The students of Shenfeng Academy are now generally at the Spirit Elder level, and a small portion have even broken through to Spirit Ancestor. Only a small portion of first and second-year students are still in the Spirit Grandmaster stage.
This level of student quality is incomparable to that of other academies.
Just think about the quality of Shenfeng Academy students when Mo Hui first arrived. At that time, a considerable number of Shenfeng Academy students were unable to break through to level 30 before graduation!
One must know that Shenfeng Academy is still an old strong academy, and even it was like this. Other academies are even less to mention.
Especially Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, which Mo Hui once visited, most of the lazy nobles there were unable to graduate normally. If it weren't for some excellent students in the academy, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family would have lost all face.
And now, the situation where students cannot graduate has almost disappeared under the intense competition atmosphere of Shenfeng Academy.
Even those who are slower can break through to Spirit Elder in their third year with the assistance of Hurricane Canyon.
Immediately after, Feng Qingcang led them to the Douhun Arena.
Upon seeing the scene inside the Douhun Arena, Feng Qingcang smiled slightly and said to Dragon Duke and his group, "It seems you are lucky. The two people currently fighting in the arena can rank among the top twenty in our academy. Usually, they cultivate in Hurricane Canyon, and it's rare to see them."
"Impossible! The spirit power levels of these two are similar to mine, how can they only rank in the top twenty!?"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Yiran, who had been silent, immediately retorted.
Meng Yiran's current level is forty-three, and considering her age, this speed is not slow. When she was at Beast Academy, her grades had always been consistently in the top three.
What Meng Yiran couldn't accept was that these two people below, whose levels were similar to hers, were only in the top twenty at Shenfeng Academy.
What kind of concept is this? It means that if she were placed in Shenfeng Academy, there is a high probability that she wouldn't even make it into the top twenty. How could she accept this?
At this moment, Granny Snake also spoke with some displeasure, "Wind Dean, you said these two students only rank in the top twenty. May I ask what is the spirit power level of your academy's highest-level student now?"
"Tianxiang!"
As soon as Granny Snake uttered these words, Dragon Duke immediately frowned.
There is only a little over a year until the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Asking about the information of participating members at this time is somewhat impolite.
"Haha, Dragon Duke, it's fine! This isn't much of a secret anyway."
Then, Feng Qingcang curled his lips and said, "Currently, the two highest spirit power level students in our Shenfeng Academy are both at level forty-seven!"
"Forty… seventy?"
Upon hearing this, whether it was Dragon Duke, Granny Snake, or Meng Yiran, they all opened their mouths wide, too shocked to speak.
A moment later, Dragon Duke recovered from his shock and exclaimed, "Shenfeng Academy, truly worthy of the Champion Title."
