Doulou Dalu: The Power of a Book

Chapter 101: I'll Remember This Grudge

The renowned skill of Blazing Academy's Dean, Huo Tianyang, needs no introduction. Although not as groundbreaking as Xiao Zhan's self-created Fire Demon Style technique, it is a technique born from Huo Tianyang's integration of numerous Spirit Skills.

It can be said that Huo Tianyang's prowess is built upon the foundation of the Spirit Skills provided by his many Spirit Rings. Calling it a self-created Spirit Skill isn't an exaggeration, but the prerequisite conditions are quite demanding, requiring mastery of at least four corresponding Spirit Skills as a basis.

The highest version of Huo Tianyang's technique is said to incorporate six major Spirit Skills. According to what Su Wen heard from Xiao Zhan, he suspects that Huo Tianyang's skill might already be considered a distinct domain in itself.

While others may find it challenging to inherit this unique skill of Huo Tianyang, needing to experiment with Spirit Rings from start to finish, Su Wen is different.

His self-created Spirit Skills, which involve mastering the control of both the wind and earth elements, are keeping pace with his own training. Even though many of his ideas are borrowed, this alone demonstrates his extremely strong learning ability.

"Isn't it just needing a few Spirit Skills as a foundation? I'll just create my own. By replicating it several times and experiencing it firsthand, the difficulty of creating corresponding effective Spirit Skills will decrease dramatically."

Su Wen isn't worried about not being able to learn this intense skill of Huo Tianyang. Huo Tianyang naturally doesn't know about Su Wen's many learning techniques, but just from Su Wen developing so many self-created Spirit Skills, Huo Tianyang decides to let Su Wen give it a try.

Su Wen waited for less than ten minutes before Teacher Wang led sixteen students to the Fighting Arena. Accompanying them were two other teachers and Dean Huo Tianyang.

Among the sixteen students, there were seven members of the Blazing Team, one being the captain of the Inferno Team, Huo Xin, and the remaining eight were clearly of different age groups.

After a brief consideration, Su Wen understood that these were likely the contestants from the current, next, and subsequent years of Blazing Academy. Of course, perhaps due to age reasons, the next two cohorts didn't have their full quota of members recruited. Instead, they chose a few with the strongest talents who could be absolutely guaranteed to enter and began nurturing them ahead of time.

Su Wen hadn't expected them to start nurturing two cohorts in advance. He had thought that preparing one cohort in advance would be sufficient for participating in the Spirit Master Competition, after all, preparing one cohort in advance already meant having six to ten years of time.

Preparing two cohorts in advance meant that, with the Academy's investment, they had devoted themselves to efficient training for at least eleven years.

"The notion that the Five Elements are the closest to an independent force isn't just a whimsical idea," Su Wen thought to himself.

"Su Wen, this is our Blazing Academy's Dean, Huo Tianyang."

"Haha, you must be Su Wen, right? Xiao Zhan must have mentioned me to you, hasn't he?" Huo Tianyang had no airs about him; instead, he approached and directly patted Su Wen on the shoulder.

Su Wen winced as his shoulder was struck by that large hand.

Huo Tianyang, however, was inwardly surprised. This physical resilience was truly extraordinary; no wonder he had trained in the Fire Demon Style.

In the past, whenever he and Xiao Zhan exchanged blows without using Martial Spirit or Soul Power, he always came off worse. Today, seeing Su Wen, he naturally wanted to reclaim some advantage.
