Though Huo Wu was visibly worried about her injured brother, deep down, she couldn't help but feel a little… disappointed.
So that's why he fought Lin Feng?
Turns out, it wasn't because of what I thought at all…
But she quickly shook the thought away.
Tch, who cares if Lin Feng likes me or not! What does that have to do with me?
My future partner will definitely be…
Wait a second. Lin Feng is that strong… If I can't even beat him…
Then doesn't that mean he's actually qualified to marry me?!
Her face flushed instantly, a bright red hue blooming across her cheeks.
At that moment, Xiao Huo, who had been silent after his duel, also felt his fighting spirit surge.
He could tell Lin Feng hadn't used his full power in the previous match.
He wanted to challenge him—but with Huo Wushuang injured, it clearly wasn't the right time.
Plus, Xiao Huo was older. It might look like bullying a junior.
Loud laughter echoed from the entrance of the training hall.
"So this is the famous Blazing Academy?"
"Doesn't seem so tough."
Everyone turned to look.
A green-clad youth wearing a mask that only revealed his eyes stepped into the room, radiating arrogance as he stared down the crowd with open disdain.
Even without using his system, Lin Feng immediately recognized him:
"What did you just say?!"
"Who do you think you are, running your mouth like that?!"
The crowd instantly erupted in protest.
"Hear me loud and clear!"
"I am Feng Xiaotian of Godwind Academy!"
Arrogance shimmered in his eyes as his lips curled in a contemptuous smirk. Behind him stood two seniors, both a head taller, posturing like elite bodyguards.
"The Feng Xiaotian with innate full soul power?!"
Huo Wushuang was the first to react.
Gasps rippled through the spectators.
"Innate full soul power? So what? That doesn't give you the right to be arrogant!"
"You dare insult our academy? I'll show you what's what!"
Furious, Huo Wu stepped forward, unwilling to let her academy's honor be trampled.
"First Soul Skill—Fire Shadow!"
She clenched her fists and dashed at Feng Xiaotian.
As they locked eyes up close—
Her dark red wavy hair, pale skin, delicate features, and those shimmering silvery eyes—
Feng Xiaotian was stunned.
This… this is the girl I've been searching for!
Time seemed to freeze.
In that instant, only Huo Wu remained in Feng Xiaotian's world.
But reality is never so kind.
Huo Wu's punch slammed into Feng Xiaotian's face, sending him flying several meters. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Tch. So much for innate full soul power."
"You're not all that, are you? Weak and fragile."
She flexed her wrist and turned her body, gaze full of scorn.
The crowd was stunned.
This is innate full soul power? Even I could probably take him.
Why didn't he fight back?
Only Lin Feng understood the real reason and couldn't help clicking his tongue.
Seriously? One glance and he's already simping?
Is this Feng Xiaotian guy for real?
Flat on the ground, Feng Xiaotian smiled like a fool, savoring the "taste" of Huo Wu's fist.
So feisty… I love it.
Which hand did she hit me with again? Dang it, I wasn't paying attention—I was too focused on her face…
His two upperclassmen rushed over to help him up.
One of them leaned in to inspect his injury—
Feng Xiaotian barked in panic.
What kind of reaction is that? You're making this weird for all of us.
But Feng Xiaotian, ignoring them, walked straight toward Huo Wu with a dopey smile.
"What? You want more?"
"If you know what's good for you, apologize now."
"Maybe—maybe—I'll forgive you."
Huo Wu straightened her back, chin held high.
Beside her, Huo Wushuang shook his head, worried.
She's still too naive.
Sure, Feng Xiaotian didn't dodge just now, but who makes the same mistake twice?
He subtly moved closer to his sister, ready to protect her if needed.
Many others, like Xiao Huo and the rest of the academy, positioned themselves behind Huo Wu as backup.
Only Lin Feng sat off to the side, legs crossed, snacking on fruit and waiting to enjoy the show.
Feng Xiaotian fight Huo Wu? Yeah right.
They should be worried about him instead.
Looks like the tale of the "Innate Full Soul Power Disappointment" starts today.
"Uh, Young Master Feng, we came here to exchange ideas, not to start a fight!"
The two seniors quickly stepped up, trying to de-escalate.
But Feng Xiaotian ignored them.
A long moment of tension passed—
Then Feng Xiaotian suddenly gave a formal 90-degree bow to Huo Wu.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble."
"I apologize for my inappropriate remarks."
"I hope you can forgive me, Huo Wu."
You could hear a pin drop.
Did he just say sorry?
That smug strut earlier—wasn't he supposed to be some cunning wolf in sheep's clothing?
"…This guy seriously needs a reality check."
Sitting off to the side, Lin Feng happily crunched on fruit, completely unfazed.
Huo Wu looked at Feng Xiaotian's sincere expression and softened a little.
Before she could finish, Feng Xiaotian interrupted her:
"Then… please go out with me!"
He said it loud, clear, and deadly serious.
Not just Huo Wu—everyone was floored.
The entire hall broke into shocked gasps, as though they'd just witnessed the plot twist of the year.
Only Lin Feng kept chewing, occasionally glancing up at the drama.
"We don't even know each other! And you want to date me?!"
Huo Wu was livid. Not only was he weak, he had no shame.
But Feng Xiaotian wasn't angry. If anything, he found her even more adorable.
He cleared his throat and addressed the room.
"Huo Wu, the moment I saw you, my whole world lit up."
"It was love at first sight—the feeling I've been searching for."
"I'm willing to give everything to protect this sudden stroke of beauty."
"Will you be the one I cherish forever?"
He stood there, soft gaze and warm smile, exuding gentle sincerity like a character out of a romance novel.
Some onlookers were stirred by his performance.
Some jeered. Some shouted for her to say yes. Others just called him insane.
"Can all of you SHUT UP already?!"
"And you—Feng. Xiaotian."
Huo Wu snapped, shouting in frustration. Her head throbbed from the noise, and she glared daggers at Feng Xiaotian.
You talk all sweet, but I'm not that kind of girl.
I, Huo Wu, admire strength. I like men stronger than me.
And you? After that punch earlier, I've already filed you away as useless.
"I'm serious, Huo Wu!"
Feng Xiaotian tried once more.
Losing all patience, Huo Wu stormed out of the training hall.
And Feng Xiaotian, undeterred, shamelessly chased after her.
"Huo Wu! Please believe me!"
"If not dating—how about just hanging out for now?!"
