"Oh? Little one, how did you end up here?"
The figure was slightly startled upon seeing Mo Hui, speaking with a hint of surprise.
Seeing this, Mo Hui also bowed slightly and asked, "May I ask who Senior is?"
During his time at Shenfeng Academy, he had basically gotten to know most of the teachers, and he didn't recall seeing this person before.
"Me? Hahaha, you're a student of Shenfeng Academy, yet you don't even know me? I'm the biggest figure in Shenfeng Academy, who do you think I am?"
The person stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Upon hearing the person's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Mo Hui's eyes. Could it be that the person before him was...
"It seems you've guessed it. That's right, I am the Headmaster of Shenfeng Academy."
Seeing Mo Hui's reaction, the person immediately knew Mo Hui had guessed his identity, so he spoke directly.
It really was him.
Mo Hui couldn't help but feel a little emotional, never expecting his first meeting with the Headmaster of Shenfeng Academy to be not in his office, but within the Hurricane Gorge.
The Headmaster of Shenfeng Academy was named Feng Qingcang, his martial soul was the Osprey, and he was a Level 79 Soul Saint. He was currently around fifty years old. It was hard to say if he could break through to Titled Douluo in the future, but becoming a Soul Douluo was certain. On the Douluo Continent, he was already considered a top-tier powerhouse.
Then, Feng Qingcang looked Mo Hui up and down and said, "And what's your name? Didn't the teachers tell you that it's best not to enter the core area without the cultivation of a Soul Elder?"
As a Soul Saint just a step away from becoming a Soul Douluo, Feng Qingcang could easily see through Mo Hui's cultivation. He was merely a Soul Elder who had just reached three rings not long ago, not even reaching Level 32.
With such cultivation, he dared to venture into the core area of the Hurricane Gorge, especially since Mo Hui looked so young. This couldn't help but pique Feng Qingcang's curiosity about Mo Hui.
"Student Mo Hui. The reason I risked entering the core area is to pursue a faster cultivation speed!"
Seeing Feng Qingcang ask, Mo Hui quickly replied.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Feng Qingcang immediately stroked his beard, slightly raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's already quite astonishing that you've reached Level 31 at your age. You're still not satisfied? Could it be that you want to break through to Soul King before the age of twenty?"
One must know, Mo Hui looked to be around twelve years old, and at this age, he had already broken through to Soul Elder. This was not entirely unprecedented, but it was close. Yet, judging by Mo Hui's words, he was still not satisfied and wanted to be faster?
"If there's a possibility of being faster, shouldn't I try? The golden period for soul power cultivation is before the age of twenty. If I can't raise my soul power level as much as possible before then, it will only become more difficult to improve later!"
Mo Hui replied without hesitation.
His current goal was to do everything he could to increase his level. As long as his soul power level increased, all problems would cease to be problems.
Even the strongest combat techniques and ultimate moves were not as effective as a level suppression, although his combat techniques and ultimate moves were not weak, and could even be said to be quite strong.
Mo Hui's words made Feng Qingcang pause. Then, as if he thought of something, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Good boy, to have such awareness at such a young age. No wonder you could become a three-ring Soul Elder at this age."
What Feng Qingcang thought of was naturally Feng Xiaotian. Feng Xiaotian was too erratic, diverting his attention to developing self-created soul skills during the best age for improving soul power, and later even being affected by emotions. Otherwise, with his innate full soul power talent, he would definitely not have just broken through to Level 40 by now.
Breaking through to Level 40 at the age of twenty, for other students, would undoubtedly make them absolute geniuses, but for Feng Xiaotian, who had innate full soul power, this speed could only be said to be very slow.
Comparing him to the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, one can see how slow Feng Xiaotian's speed was.
Hu Liena broke through to Level 40 at fifteen and Soul King at nineteen.
Xie Yue broke through to Level 40 at sixteen and Soul King at nineteen.
Although Yan was not explicitly mentioned in the original work, being placed alongside Xie Yue and Hu Liena, it is estimated to be similar.
One must know that these three from the Spirit Hall did not have innate full soul power. Theoretically, their cultivation speed should be slightly slower than Feng Xiaotian's, yet the difference in cultivation speed was so great, which shows how much time Feng Xiaotian wasted.
"Since that's the case, then I shall give this to you. I hope you don't forget your original intention."
Perhaps because he saw another possibility in Mo Hui, Feng Qingcang handed a small booklet to Mo Hui.
Mo Hui took the booklet and glanced at it a few times, his eyes immediately lighting up. Closing the booklet, he thanked Feng Qingcang gratefully, "Thank you, Headmaster!"
Feng Qingcang smiled and nodded, then left the core area of the Hurricane Gorge.
After Feng Qingcang left, Mo Hui couldn't wait to open the small booklet Feng Qingcang had given him again.
There wasn't much in this small booklet, but it was very important to Mo Hui at this moment, because it contained Feng Qingcang's insights on cultivating within the Hurricane Gorge, including methods to reduce the impact of the storms in the core area of the Hurricane Gorge on oneself.
Originally, with Mo Hui's current level, cultivating in the core area of the Hurricane Gorge was still too difficult. Forcing himself to cultivate would not only fail to increase his cultivation speed but also potentially lead to danger.
But now that he had Feng Qingcang's experience in cultivating within the Hurricane Gorge, the situation was completely different. Mo Hui had the qualification to cultivate in the core area of the Hurricane Gorge, which meant Mo Hui's cultivation speed would further increase.
Mo Hui exited the core area and carefully read through the cultivation insights given by Feng Qingcang. Only after confirming that he had fully understood them did he enter the core area again.
However, Mo Hui did not become overconfident. He simply found a spot on the periphery of the core area, sat down cross-legged, and began his meditation cultivation.
...
Meanwhile, after Feng Qingcang left the Hurricane Gorge, he found that the surrounding teachers and students seemed a bit off, discussing something.
So, he suddenly appeared, patted a teacher on the shoulder, and asked, "Teacher Yan, has something happened in the academy? Why do you all seem a bit off?"
"Headmaster, you've finished your cultivation!"
The sudden appearance of Feng Qingcang startled Feng Yan, but after calming down, Feng Yan quickly explained to Feng Qingcang:
"Yes, there's a big matter. Just now, a student named Mo Hui not only defeated over a dozen senior students in the Soul Dueling grounds, but even Feng Xiaotian was defeated by him. Now, the teachers and students in the academy are all discussing this matter."
"Mo Hui?"
Feng Qingcang was slightly startled when he heard this name.
Isn't that the student he just met in the core area? But his level seemed to be only Level 31, so how did he defeat Feng Xiaotian?
