Blazing Fire and Skywater

"Lu Yuan, it seems like someone is watching us." Feeling the prying gazes coming from the northeast and northwest corners, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but whisper.

"It's nothing, just some old acquaintances," Lu Yuan said with a soft laugh.

"An old acquaintance?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with a hint of doubt.

"Yes, we met once four years ago when I challenged the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Rongrong was there too, right, Rongrong?" Lu Yuan's gaze swept toward Ning Rongrong beside him.

"Yes, that was the first time I saw you. You were so cool back then. You beat the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy to a pulp with just a few punches and kicks." Ning Rongrong said in detail, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lu Yuan.

That's when she became curious about Lu Yuan, and gradually fell in love with him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and reached out to gently rub Ning Rongrong's head.

Immediately, Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Withdrawing his hand, Lu Yuan casually glanced around and noticed an empty space to their left front.

"Let's go, let's rest in that white area ahead for a while." Lu Yuan said softly, looking at Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

"Mm." Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.

The group walked towards the white area.

There was hardly anyone around this white area; it was quite empty, which was why Lu Yuan chose this area.

The distance wasn't far, and Lu Yuan and his group arrived quickly at their speed.

"Everyone, please find a seat and sit down. The opening ceremony will be starting soon, followed by the first match of the preliminary rounds. Let's all give it our best and win the first match beautifully," Lu Yuan said softly, looking at everyone.

"Yes, Captain!" The voices rang out in unison.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan nodded slightly. Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing, who was beside him, nudged him.

"What's wrong, Zhu Qing?" Lu Yuan turned his head to look at her, a hint of doubt on his face.

"Someone's coming," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.

"Oh?" Lu Yuan said "oh" and turned around slightly. There were two people on each side walking towards them.

On the left are a man and a woman, both wearing red Flame Team Uniform. The man is muscular with thick muscles on his arms. Although he is not particularly handsome, he has a heroic air about him.

The woman had long, fiery red hair, a slender figure with a curvaceous body, fair skin, and a pretty face. Overall, she was a rare beauty. However, there was a hint of shrewishness in her eyes, suggesting that she might have a fiery temper.

The two possessed high Soul Power Level; according to Lu Yuan's observation, both had Soul Power above level 42. Given their Soul Power and young age of only seventeen or eighteen, their identities were quite obvious.

They must be Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, the brother and sister from the Blazing Fire Academy.

The two people on the right are both girls.

And they are all very beautiful girls.

One was tall and slender with a cool and aloof face, a mature and sophisticated beauty, while the other was petite but had a sweet smile and exuded a lively and adorable aura; without a doubt, she was a cute and innocent-looking girl.

In addition, the two of them have the same long, icy blue hair, the same icy blue eyes, and are wearing the same icy blue dresses. When they walk together, they truly have an indescribable special charm.

It makes you want to take another look.

Judging from their attire, Lu Yuan could easily guess their identities: they were the Shui Bing'er sisters from the Skywater Academy.

At this moment, both groups were walking towards Lu Yuan, clearly indicating that they were both looking for Lu Yuan.

In a short while, the four of them arrived in front of Lu Yuan and the others.

"Shui Bing'er, I didn't expect you to come too." Huo Wu looked at Shui Bing'er, who was not far from her, with a hint of fighting spirit in her eyes.

"If Huo Wu can come, why can't I?" Just as Huo Wu looked at Shui Bing'er with a fighting spirit, Shui Bing'er looked back at her without showing any weakness.

These two have known each other for a long time, and one is ice and the other is fire. They are both proud daughters of heaven, and their Soul Power Level are almost the same. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will compare themselves with each other.

In Huo Wu's eyes, Shui Bing'er is an opponent she must defeat, while in Shui Bing'er's eyes, she is unwilling to lose to Huo Wu.

So, these two women are constantly competing, each trying to outdo the other.

Sure enough, both of them came to find Lu Yuan, but before they could even exchange a word, they started arguing.

"Ahem, may I ask what brings you four here?" Seeing Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er locked in a fierce stare, Lu Yuan couldn't help but speak up, interrupting their contest.

After all, this is their base, what's the point of these two arguing here?

As soon as Lu Yuan's voice rang out, Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er immediately withdrew their gazes. After all, they had come to see Lu Yuan, not to compete with each other.

"Hello, you must be Lu Yuan. I'm Huo Wushuang from the Blazing Fire Academy. We met four years ago at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I wonder if you still remember me?" Huo Wushuang's cheerful voice rang out as she looked at Lu Yuan.

"I have a vague recollection. I remember you two were watching the battle from below with some high-ranking members of the Blazing Fire Academy," Lu Yuan said softly upon hearing this.

"Haha, Brother Lu's battle back then really amazed me. I've never seen such a fierce person as Brother Lu before. He single-handedly routed the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy. His combat power is truly astonishing," Huo Wushuang said with a smile.

"You flatter me. It was just a small battle. It's not that I'm strong, but that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is too weak. Each student is full of decadent aristocratic habits and has a weak fighting spirit. What kind of fighting power can such people have? They only have the realm, but their strength is completely lacking."

"Even if it were Brother Wushuang who took the stage back then, he would probably have been able to defeat one or two Soul Ancestor," Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Hey, don't flatter me. I was only a level 33 Soul Elder back then. Even if those Soul Ancestor from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had high cultivation levels, I still couldn't beat them. I have that much self-awareness." Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Huo Wushuang quickly waved his hand and said.

"Heh." Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan chuckled, his impression of Huo Wushuang improving considerably.

At the very least, this person is quite honest.

He's someone I could befriend.

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

"By the way, Brother Lu, this is my younger sister, Huo Wu." Huo Wushuang introduced Huo Wu to Lu Yuan, looking at her.

"Hello." Lu Yuan nodded slightly to Huo Wu.
