Chapter 196 Blazing Fire Academy, Dean Huo Hong (4000)
After a while.
Despite the pain from his broken arm, Feng Xiaotian managed to bow slightly to Ye Qifeng.
"It seems my defeat in the previous battle wasn't unjustified. You are indeed very strong, and I am no match for you. I have lost."
Feng Xiaotian readily admitted defeat.
Ye Qifeng waved his hand dismissively, glancing casually at Huo Wu's wine-red figure, his eyes seeming to say:
"See? That's what you call truly convinced, a proper admission of defeat. What did you just do?"
Huo Wu noticed the look Ye Qifeng gave her and understood what he meant. She pouted, hummed inwardly, tossed her long, wine-red, wavy hair, turned her head away, and immediately pretended to be nonchalant.
Seeing Huo Wu like this, Ye Qifeng shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.
His gaze shifted from Huo Wu, glanced at the robust Huo Wushuang, and finally settled on Feng Xiaotian. Ye Qifeng cleared his throat and emphasized:
"There's something I need to clarify. I have absolutely no relationship with Fire Dance Girl. What happened before was not intentional on my part, but an accident."
"Miss Fire Dance can attest to that."
As Ye Qifeng spoke, he secretly gave Huo Wu a look, hoping she would help clarify things.
Unfortunately, Huo Wu did not get what he wanted.
After hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Huo Wu inevitably thought of the scene of physical contact between the two of them, and the shameful position, and her face instantly turned red.
She snorted coldly and glared back at Ye Qifeng, as if to say:
"Hmph, you wish. You've done such a terrible thing to me, and now you're acting all innocent? Trying to distance yourself from me? And you want me to speak up for you? Not so easy."
From Huo Wu's glare, Ye Qifeng understood her rejection and smiled helplessly.
Huo Wu refused to help him clarify things, and he truly had no other choice.
We can only hope that Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang will listen to us.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaotian is a simpleton.
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's emphasis, his eyes widened instantly, and he was overjoyed, completely forgetting the intense pain from his broken arm.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian's sudden happy expression, Ye Qifeng was a little confused as to what he was so happy about.
Feng Xiaotian's way of thinking is, well, quite peculiar.
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian suddenly said:
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I apologize for my rashness, impulsiveness, and attack."
"It doesn't matter, you're no match for me anyway."
Ye Qifeng waved his hand dismissively, but the words he uttered made Feng Xiaotian's expression freeze instantly, leaving him speechless and embarrassed.
But that was the truth, and Feng Xiaotian didn't have much to say, so he just smiled awkwardly.
Huo Wushuang listened to Ye Qifeng's words.
I didn't choose to believe it immediately.
He looked at his younger sister, Huo Wu, and secretly asked her with a wink. Huo Wu nodded shyly, and he got an affirmative answer.
Only then did I feel relieved.
Huo Wushuang bowed respectfully to Ye Qifeng, finally having a chance to speak:
"This is Ye Qifeng, Brother Ye, right? I am Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu's older brother, from Blazing Fire Academy."
"Oh, hello."
Ye Qifeng returned the greeting.
Huo Wushuang's cheerful voice continued:
"Since it was all a misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's just leave it at that. Brother Xiaotian has broken both arms and urgently needs treatment. Brother Ye must be tired after sparring with Brother Xiaotian."
"How about this, Brother Ye, why don't you come with us to Blazing Fire Academy to rest for a while?"
Ye Qifeng wanted to say that he wasn't tired and didn't really want to go to Blazing Fire Academy. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Huo Wu staring at him with wide eyes, looking like she wouldn't let him go until he agreed, he had no choice.
That works too.
It would be a good opportunity to visit Blazing Fire Academy, scout it out, and prepare for the future.
Perhaps we could try to win over Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, the siblings, to the Spirit Hall's camp. If successful, it would be almost equivalent to winning over Blazing City and Blazing Academy.
After all, these two siblings were the darlings of the Huo family.
And then there's Feng Xiaotian.
We can't let him go either; after all, he's a genius with innate full soul power.
If we could win over the soul master forces of Shenfeng City and Shenfeng Academy behind Feng Xiaotian, the Feng family would be a good option.
I just gave him some pointers on his self-created soul skill, so he probably doesn't have any ill feelings towards me anymore.
After that, we'll go to Tianshui City.
We can try to recruit Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, as well as all the talents in their future teams. We'll talk about that later.
Let's deal with the current situation first.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Qifeng nodded and smiled:
"Very well, I've also been wanting to see the renowned Blazing Fire Academy on the continent. In that case, I'll trouble you."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's agreement, Huo Wu couldn't help but raise her chin slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Haha, Brother Ye, you flatter me."
Huo Wushuang laughed heartily, "Our Blazing Fire Academy will definitely not let Brother Ye down. Come on, let me show you around Blazing Fire Academy."
After saying this, Huo Wushuang helped Feng Xiaotian up and led the way.
Ye Qifeng didn't follow immediately. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the slightly messy street, frowning.
At this moment, Huo Wu's tall, red-clad figure appeared beside him, and her clear, melodious voice rang in his ears:
"The mess on the street will be cleaned up by the Blazing City Guards soon. The damaged streets will be repaired quickly and restored to their original state, so you don't need to worry."
"Battles between Soul Masters are common in Blazing Fire City, and street damage is a frequent occurrence. Of course, in principle, the losses caused by the battle must be paid by the Soul Masters involved in the battle."
"However, Blazing Fire Academy will cover today's expenses; you don't need to pay. After all, you got into the fight because of me. I'll just have a word with the Blazing Fire City Guard later."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng looked at Huo Wu with surprise. "You're quite principled now, not bad."
"Oh dear, let's go quickly."
Huo Wu felt a little embarrassed by Ye Qifeng's gaze, so she grabbed Ye Qifeng's sleeve without saying a word and followed Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian.
Ye Qifeng had no choice but to follow.
The location for building Blazing City was chosen with great care.
It was built against the mountain.
The mountain is an active volcano.
A perpetually active volcano that never erupts.
because of this.
The city of Blazing Fire contains an extremely high concentration of fire elemental energy.
For fire-attribute soul masters, the entire city is a huge simulated training ground.
Therefore, the vast majority of people living in Blazing City are fire-attribute soul masters.
Blazing Fire City is located in the northern part of Douluo Continent. The climate is cold, but because it has abundant geothermal resources, it is warm and pleasant, making it extremely suitable for living.
Therefore, besides the prestigious Blazing Academy, Blazing City is most famous for its rare geothermal resources.
In particular, the hot springs that are ubiquitous in Blazing City are world-renowned and attract countless tourists.
Many Soul Masters come here just to soak in the hot springs.
Soaking in the hot springs of Blazing Fire City not only promotes blood circulation, clears heat and relieves fire, and relaxes the body's nerves, but also beautifies the skin, helps treat chronic diseases, and helps Soul Masters remove hidden ailments, among other benefits.
Due to years of cultivation and combat, Soul Masters often carry some hidden injuries. The ability to remove these hidden ailments alone makes it highly sought after by countless Soul Masters.
Its beauty and skin-nourishing effects have attracted countless female Soul Masters to spend their gold coins, emptying their pockets to soak in it several times before they are satisfied.
It is precisely because of this beauty and skin-nourishing effect.
The people of Blazing Fire City did not develop dark skin due to their fire-attribute cultivation; on the contrary, almost all of them were fair-skinned and beautiful, as can be seen from the siblings Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.
Although Huo Wushuang wasn't particularly handsome, he had healthy, fair skin without any signs of being dark-skinned.
Huo Wu is one of the best among them, with snow-white and smooth skin that feels wonderful to the touch.
Yes, that's what Ye Qifeng said.
He touched it.
Blazing Academy is located in the center of Blazing City, adjacent to the City Lord's Mansion and the Fire Clan's territory. It is one of the areas in the city with the most concentrated fire element.
More than ten minutes later.
The group arrived at Blazing Fire Academy.
The overall tone of Blazing Academy is a striking fiery red.
Standing at the gate and looking inside, the entire academy is ablaze with red, a unique and breathtaking sight.
Huo Wushuang helped Feng Xiaotian walk ahead.
A few steps behind, Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu walked slowly together.
What gave Ye Qifeng a slight headache was...
Along the way, Huo Wu blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at him again and again, her eyes filled with curiosity and exploration, relentlessly trying to find a flower-like smile on his face.
Feng Xiaotian, who was walking in front, would turn his head back from time to time to look at Huo Wu. Seeing that Huo Wu was staring at the handsome Ye Qifeng and had no intention of paying attention to him, he felt extremely disappointed and heartbroken.
"Cough cough."
Ye Qifeng coughed twice and said softly:
"Miss Fire Dance, Feng Xiaotian has been watching you the whole time. Shouldn't you respond?"
"Ignore him, he's always been like this."
Huo Wu waved her hand, responding indifferently.
She knew exactly what Feng Xiaotian was thinking, but she didn't like him.
However, Feng Xiaotian was injured because of her, so after thinking about it, Huo Wu still asked with concern:
"Hey, Feng Xiaotian, how's the injury on your hand?"
The moment the words of concern were spoken, Feng Xiaotian felt as if he had heard heavenly music, and tears welled up in his eyes. "That's wonderful! Sister Huowu finally cares about me. It's been such a long time!"
To avoid losing face in front of Huo Wu, and to demonstrate his manliness, he ignored his broken arm and pounded his chest twice:
"Fire Dance, I'm fine. This little injury is nothing to me, uh..."
Feng Xiaotian acted very tough and imposing.
But the next second...
An indescribable, intense pain struck him, his face instantly turning deathly pale. Large beads of sweat squeezed from his forehead, pouring down like rain. He almost fainted and could no longer speak.
Huo Wu pursed her red lips, speechless. "Serves you right for being so stubborn. What are you pretending to be tough for? You know what pain is coming now."
Huo Wu sighed and rubbed her forehead, then looked at her brother Huo Wushuang and said:
"Brother, you should take him to get treatment first."
Huo Wushuang, supporting Feng Xiaotian, was somewhat speechless, but agreed to Huo Wu's suggestion, nodding and saying:
"Alright, I'll take Brother Xiaotian to find a healer for treatment first. Sister, I'll leave Brother Ye to you."
As he spoke, Huo Wushuang subtly hinted at Huo Wu:
"Sister, you must keep him here."
Huo Wu returned a glance:
"Understood, watch me."
Then.
Huo Wushuang helped Feng Xiaotian walk away.
Huo Wu then led Ye Qifeng to the dean's office at Blazing Fire Academy.
As he approached the dean's office, he could hear two hearty laughs from afar. Judging by the voices, Ye Qifeng easily recognized that they belonged to two middle-aged men.
Enter the dean's office.
Two middle-aged men suddenly came into view. They were sitting at the coffee table, sipping fragrant tea and chatting happily.
Both of them were in their forties.
One of them, with fiery red hair and beard, is Huo Wu's father, as well as the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, the city lord of Blazing Fire City, and the head of the Huo family, Huo Hong.
The other person, with a fair complexion, no beard, and a full head of long hair, was Feng Xiaotian's father, Feng Teng, who was also the dean of Shenfeng Academy, the city lord of Shenfeng City, and the head of the Feng family.
He was a guest at Blazing Fire Academy.
Upon seeing Huo Wu enter the office, Huo Hong exclaimed "Huh?" and asked in surprise:
"It's my precious daughter! Why are you back so soon? Where are Wushuang and Xiaotian?"
"Oh, Feng Xiaotian is injured. I took him to see a doctor in the academy's medical department. He should be in the academy's clinic now."
"What? Xiaotian is injured?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Teng, with his silver-gray hair, quickly stood up, knocking over a teacup. The steaming tea inside was instantly spilled onto the coffee table, releasing a fragrant aroma.
Impatient Feng Teng didn't care about anything else and immediately cupped his hands to Huo Hong:
"Brother Huo, I need to go check on Xiaotian first."
Before his old friend Huo Hong could say anything, Feng Teng instantly unleashed a wisp of cyan wind from beneath his feet, and then, in a flash, he dashed out of Huo Hong's dean's office.
Huo Hong wanted to say he would go with him, but as soon as he stood up, his old friend Feng Teng disappeared, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Turning to look at Huo Wu, his expression became slightly more serious:
"What happened?"
Huo Wu walked to the coffee table, tidied up the overturned teacups, and replied:
"It's nothing. Feng Xiaotian got into a fight and lost. He broke both arms, but it's nothing serious. He should be able to recover after receiving treatment from the academy's medical department."
"That's alright."
Huo Hong felt relieved.
Then, as if remembering something, her fiery red eyebrows furrowed, and she looked up at her beloved daughter, Huo Wu, who was growing more and more beautiful with each passing year.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Feng Xiaotian got into a fight with someone because of his daughter?
After all, that kid has been up to no good for a long time, and has been eyeing my daughter for many years.
If it weren't for the fact that he was his old friend's son and had decent talent, he would have slapped him against the wall long ago.
However, with Feng Xiaotian's talent and aptitude, what young person could easily defeat him?
Could it be some old geezer who's got his eye on his daughter?
Thinking of this, Huo Hong's heart tightened, and he quickly asked:
"Daughter, tell your father, was some kind of old thing harassing you just now?"
"Huh? No." Huo Wu was taken aback.
"How did Feng Xiaotian get into a fight and get injured? There probably aren't many people his age who could beat him, right?"
"Oh, that? Feng Xiaotian lost to him."
Huo Wu extended a slender, jade-like finger and pointed behind her.
Thank you [Yue Lin] for the 100 Qidian Coins!
