Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill had been refined and improved. The charge time was shorter, and the slashing speed was faster. Additionally, as his soul power increased, the power of this move became even more formidable.
Not to mention Huo Wushuang, even if Tang San, the mighty genius, came, he would be forced to his knees.
"It's a self-created soul skill!"
"I wonder what his fourth soul skill is."
"What incredible strength—the captain can't hold on much longer."
Huo Wushuang was under such pressure that he could hardly breathe.
The students watching were all stunned. The two guards trembled, frightened by Feng Xiaotian's aura. They were relieved they hadn't tried to stop him.
To save Huo Wushuang some face, Feng Xiaotian withdrew his attack just in time.
Huo Wushuang stood up, walked over to Feng Xiaotian, and reluctantly said, "I lost! But when I get my fourth soul skill, I'll challenge you again!"
"Sure! I'll be waiting. But it seems you have some unfinished business."
Huo Wushuang glanced at his teammates, feeling a bit embarrassed. Then he gritted his teeth.
"Brother Tian!"
"Alright, little brother, come here. I have something to discuss with you."
Before Huo Wushuang could react, Feng Xiaotian slung an arm around his shoulders.
At that moment, Huo Wushuang felt a sense of kinship, as if Feng Xiaotian truly was his older brother.
The two of them moved a short distance away from the gate.
"Brother Tian, what's going on?"
"It's about the upcoming Elite Tournament. There's only seven or eight months left, and I wanted to discuss something with you."
"Alright, Brother Tian, just say it."
"You've probably heard by now—the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall team is incredibly strong. They're determined to win the championship."
"Yeah, I know. The Spirit Hall has plenty of experts. They've taken the championship in the past few tournaments. Our academies are just here to participate, aiming for the best possible result."
Facing the formidable Spirit Hall, most participating academies shared Huo Wushuang's resignation.
Feng Xiaotian, too, had originally accepted this fate. But now, everything had changed.
Even the previously unknown Shrek Seven Devils were aiming to challenge them.
As a reincarnated individual, Feng Xiaotian possessed exceptional comprehension and knowledge of future events. How could he possibly concede?
"Spirit Hall may be powerful, but they're not invincible. If a few academies make it to the finals and form a new alliance, we could give them a run for their money."
Huo Wushuang was a bit confused and didn't fully grasp Feng Xiaotian's idea.
"Is that even allowed? Wouldn't it break the tournament rules?"
"Don't worry. As long as you're on board, I'll take care of the rest."
Changing the tournament rules wasn't something done lightly, and Huo Wushuang couldn't fathom where Feng Xiaotian's confidence came from.
Feng Xiaotian continued to explain, "Another genius will appear in this tournament—a young man from a prestigious family with innate full soul power and twin spirits. Their team also has two strong support members: one from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and the other a food-type soul master who can create sausages that restore soul power and grant flight. Their Shrek Academy will be a significant obstacle for Spirit Hall's victory."
Huo Wushuang found this hard to believe.
"Shrek Academy? Never heard of it! But if what you say is true, they must be pretty strong."
"Of course it's true. You'll see for yourself in time."
Feng Xiaotian didn't tell Huo Wushuang that Shrek Academy would become Blazing Academy's nemesis. It was too early to discuss that now.
After thinking for a moment, Huo Wushuang seemed to understand a bit more.
"But can our two academies alone really defeat the Spirit Hall team? It sounds difficult."
"That's why we need more allies. If you're willing, join me on a trip to Tianshui Academy."
"Tianshui Academy? You really want to ask those girls for help?"
Huo Wushuang blushed as he spoke, scratching his head in embarrassment. The kid was already 20 and still single.
"Look at you, acting so timid. What's there to be afraid of when I'm with you?"
"But will they agree?"
Feng Xiaotian wasn't entirely sure either; they'd have to try and see.
"Let me be honest with you—the final reward for this tournament includes three ten-thousand-year-old spirit bones: a left leg bone, a right arm bone, and a wisdom skull bone. That flame right arm bone would be perfect for someone like you, with your strong assault abilities."
The captain of Tianshui Academy is Shui Bing'er, and her sister, Shui Yue'er, is a sensitive attack-type soul master. The left leg soul bone that enhances speed would be perfect for her.
So, we should discuss this with Shui Bing'er."
Huo Wushuang was both curious and astonished. He didn't understand how Feng Xiaotian knew so much. Not only did he have information about Shrek Academy, but he was also well-informed about the specific rewards of the tournament.
"Brother Tian, how do you know so much?"
"I have reliable sources. You don't need to ask further. So, are you willing to trust me now?"
Huo Wushuang had just witnessed Feng Xiaotian's strength. The self-created soul skill, Stromwind Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Slash, was intensely oppressive. Even before Feng Xiaotian had fully unleashed it, he could hardly withstand it.
And that was without seeing his fourth soul skill.
Huo Wushuang had no reason not to believe him. He was just a bit puzzled.
"Brother Tian, I believe you. But why not approach Thunder Academy or Elephant Armor Academy? They're just as good as Tianshui Academy. It feels... odd to team up with a bunch of girls."
Elephant Armor Academy is an affiliated school of the Elephant Armor Sect. The sect has close ties with Spirit Hall, being a loyal subordinate and lackey. Partnering with them wouldn't be advantageous.
Moreover, their entire team consists of defensive soul masters, which doesn't align with Feng Xiaotian's interests.
As for Thunder Academy, their backing is the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family, one of the top three sects.
Feng Xiaotian had no desire to involve himself with the pretentious Yu Xiaogang. Even if Storm and Lightning could combine to create a stronger soul skill, he would not consider them.
"You silly kid, Tianshui Academy is full of beautiful girls. Isn't it a good thing for me to help you find a partner?"
Huo Wushuang awkwardly smiled.
"Alright. My father is the dean, so there won't be an issue on my end. I just need to discuss it with my sister and teammates. It's up to Tianshui Academy now."
"Great. Then I'll head back for now. Let me know once you've talked to them, and we'll proceed from there."
Huo Wushuang was puzzled.
"Brother Tian, aren't you going to find Huo Wu?"
"No, I wasn't planning to look for her."
"Oh."
Seeing Feng Xiaotian's resolute attitude, Huo Wushuang didn't press further. After their farewell, Huo Wushuang entered the school gate.
Not long after, Huo Wu came rushing over.
"Brother, I heard you were fighting someone at the gate. Who was it?"
"It's all sorted out now. It was Brother Tian."
"Brother Tian? Which Brother Tian?"
"Feng Xiaotian!"
Huo Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. Her brother's attitude toward Feng Xiaotian was completely different, even calling him "Brother."
"What's he doing at our school? Is he looking for me again?"
Huo Wushuang shook his head.
"Actually, he came to find me."
