Hulena and Evil Moon took their hands from in front of their eyes, and the latter, upon seeing Xu Sheng, who stood there, unharmed after being bombarded by Flame's Second Soul Skill, was completely dumbfounded.
Flame's attack didn't even touch the hem of this guy's clothes!!!
And that wasn't even the most exaggerated part, you, as a support-class Soul Master, just slapped an Assault-type Soul Master who had released his Second Soul Skill, sending him flying...
He felt like his entire world view was collapsing. What on earth was happening to the world when an Assault-type couldn't even single-handedly beat a support class...
This kid is too strange, better not mess with him, better not...
However, Hulena immediately snapped back to reality, anxiously looking around, as a huge noise had just occurred.
If Xu Sheng looked fine, that meant the problem was with Flame!
A few seconds later, Hulena finally found Flame, who had been slapped into the wall by Xu Sheng, and couldn't even be pried out...
The latter, with a swollen face and a fiery red palm print, had fallen unconscious...
Gently shaking his shoulder with her jade hand, Hulena propped up his upper body with her arms, saying urgently, "Flame, Flame, are you alright?"
Flame slowly came around, weakly opening his eyes, and when he saw it was Hulena, his tone softened naturally, "Cough, cough, cough... Lena, I'm... fine."
Then Xu Sheng and Evil Moon also came over, crouching down and frowning, "Flame, is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable?"
Flame glanced at him without replying, but instead lay leisurely in Hulena's arms, sending a defiant look towards Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng oh Xu Sheng, I, Flame, am willing to acknowledge you as the strongest among the four of us in terms of strength!
But, you've lost at life!
That look made Xu Sheng very uncomfortable, and he somewhat didn't understand why he hadn't just hit a little harder and killed the brat just now.
It was just shamelessly extreme.
Evil Moon, squatting on the ground, naturally saw the defiant expression Flame had just shown, but he also couldn't be bothered with it...
The injury Flame had just suffered was merely superficial, and there was no need to send him to the support-class Soul Masters of Martial Soul Hall for treatment. He figured that letting Xu Sheng heal him casually would be good enough.
Thinking this, Evil Moon turned his head towards Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, you're a support-class Soul Master, so you should have a healing soul skill, right?"
"I do, but the healing method of my Martial Soul is a bit peculiar, and I'm not sure if Flame can accept it," Xu Sheng replied, his gaze fixed intently on Flame.
You were jumping around just now, let's hope you can endure this!
That look gave Flame a chill, and he shrank back into Hulena's arms...
After feeling the movement in her arms, Hulena assumed Flame hadn't recovered yet...
Her concern for him was nothing more than that for a team member, without a hint of personal emotion, so she thought no further.
Hulena placed Flame back on the cold floor, "Xu Sheng, please heal Flame first, it wouldn't be good if he's left with sequelae."
Seeing Xu Sheng's increasingly malicious-looking eyes, Flame, lying on the ground, seemed to realize that something wasn't right!
This guy was clearly looking at him with revenge in mind!
He would rather die than let him treat him!
No way!
...
"Mmm... Ah... Mmm"
Only to see Flame on the ground, his body pierced by countless petals of the Nine-Hearted Begonia...
The sight instantly made Evil Moon feel a strong urge to vomit...
Seeing the flush of shame on Hulena's face, Evil Moon decisively reached out with both palms to cover her beautiful eyes...
This scene was simply too much for the eyes, almost as if the Evil Ghost King of East Asia had possessed her!
Xu Sheng crossed his arms, a smirking smile on his face as he watched Flame panting softly...
"Kid, this time I've stripped you of your rights to choose a mate for three years!"
Normally, the petals of the Nine-Hearted Begonia had a mild poison, but Xu Sheng cleverly kept the toxicity within a range that wouldn't harm the body...
This resulted in the Nine-Hearted Begonia petals losing their toxicity, yet still possessing an extremely strong numbing and tingling sensation, coupled with the Nine-Hearted Begonia's power of recovery.
Ah, that painfully delightful feeling that made people feel as if they were floating towards the heavens!
A few minutes later, when Xu Sheng saw that the treatment was almost complete, he waved his hand, and the petals of the Nine-Hearted Begonia slowly became transparent, eventually vanishing into particles without a trace...
Free from the intrusive numbing sensation, Flame shook his head, feeling relieved, his mind finally able to think clearly...
He looked up to see Xu Sheng's almost-smiling smile...
Then, everything that had happened to him came flooding into his mind...
In an instant, his face darkened to a chilling point, and he angrily looked at Xu Sheng and shouted, "Xu Sheng, what did you just do to me? Why would I do such a thing?"
Having done something so shameful he wanted to skin himself, he knew without thinking that his perfect image in Hulena's eyes must have plummeted!
Xu Sheng blinked his innocent eyes and shrugged, "I didn't do anything to you. Weren't you enjoying yourself just now?"
This guy was clearly enjoying it and now he denies it! A complete jerk!
Flame clenched his fists tightly, wanting to rush over and deliver a punch that would end Xu Sheng!
But the next moment, he inhaled sharply, suddenly remembering that this guy could almost kill him with a slap while he was using his soul skill, likely no match for brute force!
Suppressing the rage in his heart, he put on a stiff smile and looked towards Evil Moon and Hulena...
Hulena's face was still as red as an apple, and Evil Moon pulled her behind him, warningly saying to Flame, "Stay away from Lena, you pervert!"
"I... I freaking... I freaking," Flame gritted his teeth, his knuckles turning white, and his nails leaving deep indentations in his skin...
The next moment, as if he couldn't stand it any longer, his eyes blacked out, and his body abruptly collapsed to the ground!
...
Enduring Flame's resentful glances all day, Xu Sheng finally finished today's lessons when suddenly a gentle female voice sounded in his ear.
"Xu Sheng, step outside for a moment."
Immediately recognizing the all-too-familiar voice, he knew it was none other than Bi Bidong!
Xu Sheng rose from his seat without a stir and walked towards the exit of the academy...
Seeing this, Flame scoffed mockingly, "What's he up to now? Doesn't he know we need to study tonight as well?"
Evil Moon glanced at him and said with disdain, "That's enough. It's because you wanted to duel and ended up almost getting crippled by a single slap!"
This brought up a sore topic for Flame, who defensively retorted, "Evil Moon! What are you acting all high and mighty for? If you think you're so capable, you try fighting that monster Xu Sheng and see if he can slap you to death!"
Evil Moon languidly replied, "Why should I? If I don't fight him, who's to say I'm not his equal? Intelligence is a great thing, it's a pity you lack it."
Flame's eyes widened, unable to believe Evil Moon could be so shameless, he barked, "Evil Moon, you're despicable!"
Evil Moon closed her eyes, choosing to ignore him...
That's just how it was. As long as they didn't duel, Xu Sheng was just a support-class Soul Master to the outside world, who would know if they couldn't beat him?
