Chapter 44 Opening the Academy
Although the explosion area was small, only about ten feet in radius, the purplish-black poisonous mist that burst forth spread out like a living thing, instantly enveloping that small area completely.
"After it hits, I can control it to explode directly, causing an area attack and a continuous poison mist coverage."
Dugu Yan added, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"The burst of poisonous mist also carries mixed toxins. Although the toxicity per unit is slightly weaker than a direct hit, it is more difficult to defend against, making it suitable for dealing with multiple enemies or sealing off areas."
After the demonstration, she waved her hand to dispel the remaining poisonous mist, and the illusory image of the martial spirit behind her slowly receded.
She looked at Lin Qiyue with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, waiting for his evaluation.
Lin Qiyue witnessed the entire process, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
"very nice."
"It combines strong single-target attacks with wide-area crowd control, is flexible in its application, and has sufficient power, making it a very powerful soul skill."
Upon receiving Lin Qiyue's affirmation, Dugu Yan's joy was practically overflowing.
"Hehe, thank you, young master."
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, stroked his beard and smiled. As the grandfather, he was naturally proud that his granddaughter had acquired such a powerful soul skill and gained the young master's approval.
Lin Qiyue looked at the excited Dugu Yan and the gratified Dugu Bo, and nodded secretly in her heart.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Dugu Bo and said, "Senior Dugu, I'll need to trouble you to make a trip to Tiandou City next."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately became solemn and bowed, saying, "Please, young master Fenfen."
Lin Qiyue took out a slip of paper and handed it to Dugu Bo.
"This is a manor I purchased in the inner city of Tiandou City. Within the manor, there is also a Blue Silver Forest that I have cultivated. I would like to trouble you to make a trip and bring my old steward, who was originally left there, here."
It's time to bring Uncle Chen over.
The foundation of Sunset Forest is now solid, and the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is safe enough.
Dugu Bo accepted the document with both hands, glanced at the address, memorized it, and solemnly said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will ensure the steward is safely brought to you."
"Um."
Lin Qiyue nodded, then added.
"In addition, there is one more thing."
"I would like to trouble Senior Dugu to register an advanced Soul Master Academy in your name, or in the name of our 'Blue Silver' organization, at the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City and the Ministry of Education of the Empire."
"An advanced Soul Master Academy?"
Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously repeated the sentence.
Dugu Yan, standing to the side, also opened her eyes wide with curiosity.
"Young master... are you planning to open an academy?"
Dugu Bo asked somewhat uncertainly.
Given the young master's strength and mystique, opening an academy seems... somewhat unexpected.
"That's right."
Lin Qiyue withdrew her gaze, looked at Dugu Bo, nodded affirmatively, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"A high-level Soul Master academy that belongs to us."
His thoughts had already drifted far away.
Having been familiar with the original plot, he knew very well which brilliant and talented Soul Masters would shine on the stage of the future continent.
Shrek Academy?
Forget about that so-called "monster academy"—it's short of qualified teachers, has poor facilities, and is rife with stubbornness and prejudice.
Rather than going to Shrek Academy, that godforsaken place, he should build his own platform and recruit all the talented individuals who are worth recruiting, have potential, and are reasonably good-natured to his cause!
What Shrek Academy can offer, Lin Qiyue can offer even better and more!
What Shrek Academy can't give, he can give too!
Open your own academy and build your own power!
Although Dugu Bo was not entirely clear about Lin Qiyue's plan, he knew that the young master was trying to build his own power.
This is about to officially raise its banner in the world of Soul Masters and establish a new sect!
"Understood!"
"Registering the academy under my name should be enough to prevent anyone in Tiandou City from making things difficult for me. However... I would appreciate your guidance on the specific details, such as the academy's name, location, faculty, and admission standards."
Lin Qiyue already had a plan in mind and said directly, "The name of the academy will be 'Blue Silver Academy.' There's no rush to choose a location. Initially, we can find a suitable area near Tiandou City, or... in the future, we can consider setting up the main campus in a safe area on the outskirts of Sunset Forest. As for the teaching staff, you will serve as the dean initially. As for the other teachers... Xiao Lan can take on one role, and we can recruit the rest gradually. As for the admission standards..."
He paused.
"Regardless of background or social status, we value talent, character, and potential. We will discuss the specific details after you bring Uncle Chen back. Your first task is to complete the registration and establish the academy's framework and name. This is the first step."
"yes!"
"I will set off for Tiandou City immediately to take care of these two matters."
Dugu Yan also spoke.
"Grandpa, could you also help me withdraw from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? I'll just join Young Master's academy."
Dugu Bo smiled and nodded; that was what he thought too.
Since he was going to build an academy, his granddaughter had to be the first to join.
Dugu Bo set off for Tiandou City that very day.
He was extremely efficient. In just a few days, he not only brought Chen Bo'an to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley, but also, in one fell swoop, successfully registered the Blue Silver Advanced Soul Master Academy with the Spirit Hall and the Ministry of Education of the Heaven Dou Empire under the name of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
When Chen Bo first arrived at the valley, he was utterly overwhelmed by the fairy-tale scenery and the vast life energy.
Lin Qiyue gave him a Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma.
Nourished by the medicinal power of the herbs and the valley environment, Chen Bo, who had been stuck at level 29 for many years, broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and successfully obtained his third soul ring, becoming a Soul Master.
He also handled some of Lin Qiyue's affairs related to the academy, and naturally he knew that the current Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, was working under his young master.
He felt only satisfaction and pride.
As for the location of the academy, according to Lin Qiyue's initial plan, it was temporarily set at the edge of a vast and secluded forest outside Tiandou City.
Dugu Bo used his connections and influence to successfully transfer that area to the academy's jurisdiction.
However, apart from the plaques and designated boundaries, Blue Silver Academy is currently just a huge empty shell; the school buildings, training grounds, teaching facilities, and so on have not yet been constructed.
This is also because Lin Qiyue's main focus is currently on Sunset Forest.
Dugu Yan naturally withdrew from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy immediately and became the first student of Blue Silver Academy.
She usually stayed in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley, enjoying the best cultivation environment, and her soul power improved rapidly.
Spring goes and autumn comes, the seasons change, and a year passes in the blink of an eye.
Throughout the year, Lin Qiyue devoted almost all her energy to strengthening the Blue Silver Forest.
First, there is an expansion in quantity.
