The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

"Yu Kuang, return to the clan quickly and deliver a message to Second Elder, explaining our situation here."

Lin Feng rose early, called Yu Kuang to his side, and said with a serious expression.

"Yes, Young Master."

After receiving the order, Yu Kuang quickly departed.

"Yan'er, Lingling, Xiao Wu, let's pack up. We'll be ready to head back tomorrow."

Then, Lin Feng turned to the few who arrived late and said.

"Lin Feng, we haven't had enough fun yet. Let's play for a few more days."

Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu beside him, full of reluctance, held Lin Feng's hand and spoke.

Amidst the clamor, Lin Feng pondered for a moment.

Even if they returned now, the academy would likely not be completed yet.

It would be better to indulge them, playing along the way as they slowly returned.

"Alright, alright, we'll play as we head back, okay?"

Lin Feng conceded.

"Okay!"

Hearing this, everyone jumped up excitedly and said.

Time flew by, a month passing in a flash.

The group finally arrived at Flame City.

When they saw the city from a distance, they were all wide-eyed with shock at the sight before them.

The original Royal Fire City had become magnificent and grand, and a large area had been expanded outwards.

"How long has it been? How could Royal Fire City have changed so much?"

Liu Erlong couldn't help but exclaim.

The group slowly entered the city with doubts, only to see many people dressed in red and black clothes.

Those dressed in red were clearly from the Lin Family, and some of them were acquaintances from their time in Heaven Dou City.

Liu Erlong's gaze was sharp, and she immediately recognized that those dressed in black were from the Defense Clan.

"Lin Feng, is this city built with the help of the Defense Clan?"

"No wonder Royal Fire City could have such a change in just a few days."

She turned to Lin Feng and analyzed.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

The group went straight ahead and found Second Elder, who was busy in the city.

"You're finally back. I've been looking forward to it."

Second Elder saw Lin Feng and the others from afar, a smile immediately blossomed on his face, and he greeted them warmly, saying.

"Second Elder, why has this city changed so much?"

"It's a bit beyond my expectations."

After a few pleasantries with Second Elder, Lin Feng eagerly asked.

"Hahaha."

"Ever since I received your message about building an academy, I started immediately."

"Later, I thought, since you're building an academy, why not expand the city at the same time?"

"After all, this will be the foundation of our Lin Family from now on."

Second Elder explained with a smile.

"Foundation?"

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"The Lin Family has now been enfeoffed as a Marquis."

Seeing this, Second Elder continued with a smile.

"What? Enfeoffed as a Marquis?"

"Could it be..."

Lin Feng's eyes widened in surprise, and he instantly guessed.

"That's right, it's because your father became the new Grand Marshal of the Empire that the Lin Family received this honor."

"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to you."

Second Elder seemed to have seen through his thoughts and nodded.

In the eyes of others, the Lin Family's glory seemed to be because of Lin Ye.

But only those within the Lin Family knew that the key person who truly made the Lin Family rise was Lin Feng.

"Hahaha, Lin Feng."

"If you go out again in the future, will your self-introduction need to change?"

"Won't you have to refer to yourself as the son of a Marquis?"

Dugu Yan also smiled and stepped forward to tease.

"What is a Marquis?"

At this moment, Xiao Wu, with her two rabbit ears drooping, blinked and asked.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Second Elder and Liu Erlong couldn't stop laughing.

"Xiao Wu, a peerage refers to a royal conferment."

"The position of Marquis is almost the peak that an ordinary family can aspire to, allowing them to own a city as their fief."

"Above that, a Duke, who owns dozens of cities and controls a Duchy, is equivalent to one-tenth of the Heaven Dou Empire's territory."

"Such peerages are held by some outstanding imperial family members, and some by Dukes who have been established since the founding of the nation."

"Ordinary people simply cannot achieve it."

"More than half of the Heaven Dou Empire's territory is under the control of various Dukes."

Ye Lingling looked at Xiao Wu's adorable expression and patiently explained.

"Oh!"

Xiao Wu was confused, so she just casually agreed.

Only Lin Feng nodded silently, feeling happy for his father.

The position of Marquis was his father's long-cherished wish, and now that it was realized, he must be very happy.

"Lin Feng, are these new friends you brought back from your trip?"

Second Elder looked at the few unfamiliar faces and asked doubtfully.

"Mm-hmm, this is Xiao Wu."

"And the one next to her is Ma Hongjun."

Lin Feng, having recovered, introduced them one by one to Second Elder.

"Hello, Uncle!"

Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun, hearing Lin Feng's introduction, quickly waved and greeted him.

"Good, good, good."

"Now our Little Feng has more and more friends. This is a good thing."

Second Elder said with a complacent smile.

He wished for more and more, because everyone Lin Feng brought back had good talent.

"Second Elder, has Poison Douluo arrived?"

Lin Feng looked at Second Elder and continued to ask.

"He has. Grandpa Du agreed without a second thought when he heard it was your idea."

"But it's also a pity that the academy you're building cannot have someone from the family serve as principal."

Second Elder then shook his head and sighed.

"Second Elder, letting Grandpa Du be the principal is also because our family's current reputation cannot compare to Poison Douluo."

"Moreover, now that Father is the Grand Marshal, he certainly won't have time to be the principal."

"Therefore, having Poison Douluo as the principal is the most suitable."

Lin Feng looked at Second Elder's expression, smiled slightly, and explained.

"That's right, we're all family sooner or later anyway."

Second Elder deeply agreed with this and nodded.

Afterward, everyone followed Second Elder to the academy.

In the newly expanded area of Royal Fire City, brand new tall buildings rose from the ground.

At this moment, Flender, who had been busy at the new academy for many days, finally found some free time and stood on the top of the teaching building.

His gaze swept across the training ground in the academy, where two students were practicing combat.

Four or five girls stood around the two students, their eyes full of excitement.

And Lin Jian and other older Lin Family disciples stood on the high platforms on both sides of the main gate, watching the competition with great interest.

Flender's blood was boiling, and his ambition surged in his chest.

This was the true Monster Academy!

He hadn't expected that the Lin Family alone would produce so many geniuses.

Would there be fewer after this?

The people following the Young Master of the Lin Family seemed to be extraordinary.

He stroked his chin and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

On the other side.

Lin Feng led Dugu Yan, Liu Erlong, and others into the academy.

The academy was bustling with people coming and going, very lively.

"Hello, Young Master! Hello, Second Elder!"

"The Young Master is back."

...

"Although you only asked to recruit geniuses."

"But for such a large academy to operate normally, it needs manpower, so I had people from the family come to assist."

Second Elder explained.

Just as the group was chatting, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, gracefully landing in front of everyone. It was Dugu Bo.

"My precious granddaughter, you're finally back."

Dugu Bo's face was full of smiles, his eyes full of doting as he looked at Dugu Yan and said.
