The Agreement

"Hello." Huo Wu's eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan, with a burning intensity in them, the kind of intensity one feels when seeing a strong person.

Huo Wu has always been a person who loves fighting, and she has a stronger competitive desire than male Soul Master.

Clearly, Lu Yuan's strength ignited her fighting spirit.

"You're very strong. How about we have a match sometime?" Huo Wu said softly, gazing into Lu Yuan's eyes.

Hearing this, and seeing the intense fighting spirit in Huo Wu's eyes, Lu Yuan smiled slightly and asked softly, "Are you sure?"

He didn't look down on Huo Wu; it was just that the gap between them was too great. Let alone one Huo Wu, even seven Huo Wu wouldn't be a match for him.

Moreover, this was the first time Lu Yuan had ever met someone who specifically challenged him to a fight among his peers. This Huo Wu was quite interesting.

If it were anyone else, after witnessing his battles, they would probably have lost all will to fight. For example, Lu Yuan was certain that Huo Wushuang in front of him didn't have the courage to face him.

Because the overwhelming combat power I displayed back then had left such a deep impression on him, whenever he saw me, he would recall that battle and feel powerless. As a result, he naturally lost all desire to fight.

In this respect, Huo Wushuang, the older brother, is far inferior to Huo Wu.

"I'm sure. Although I know I might not be your match, I still want to fight you." Upon hearing this, Huo Wu looked intently at Lu Yuan, her eyes filled with determination.

"Tsk, this is the first time I've ever seen a girl as warlike as you." After scrutinizing Huo Wu for a while, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "But since you have this idea, I'll grant your wish."

"Originally, I wasn't planning to play in this preliminary round, but now I've changed my mind. If our Heavenly Star Academy and your Blazing Fire Academy meet, I'll go up and fight you. But if you lose, don't cry."

"Who would cry? I, Huo Wu, have never cried in my life. You can beat me, that's your skill. I won't cry. I'm just afraid you'll lose badly. Our Blazing Fire Academy isn't just for show."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Huo Wu immediately erupted. Was he really underestimating her? Was she, Huo Wu, destined to lose?

Moreover, the qualifiers are team competitions. Even if you, Lu Yuan, are stronger than me, your teammates may not be as capable. It's uncertain who will win in the end.

"Tsk, alright then, I'll be waiting to see the true strength of your Blazing Fire Academy." Looking at Huo Wu's angry expression, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said softly.

"Hmph, I'll definitely give you a big surprise then," Huo Wu said softly with a huff.

The two of them settled the matter in just a few words, leaving Huo Wushuang feeling somewhat like crying.

What did he just hear?

Lu Yuan wasn't planning to play in the preliminary rounds, but his younger sister's suggestion forced him to come out. Despite his sister's defiant attitude, which made it seem like their Blazing Fire Academy had a great chance of winning, Huo Wushuang knew that if Lu Yuan played, Blazing Fire Academy would definitely lose.

He was already somewhat apprehensive about Lu Yuan's fighting prowess. Not only him, but even Feng Xiaotian and the others felt the same way, and were very wary of Lu Yuan's fighting strength.

After all, the scene back then was too terrifying. A Soul Grandmaster defeated more than ten people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in succession, including a battle where he fought seven people at once and crushed three Soul Ancestor and four Soul Elders.

And this was a battle that took place four years ago.

So how strong will Lu Yuan be in four years?

Huo Wushuang found it hard to believe, but he knew that it was definitely not something their Blazing Fire Academy could defeat.

After all, the current ratio of Soul Master at the Blazing Fire Academy is only slightly better than that of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy back then. With such strength, they would most likely lose if they encountered Lu Yuan.

Sister, sister, if he didn't want to appear in the first place, why did you force him to?

Huo Wushuang felt a little sad. This younger sister was really a pain in the neck. Once she got competitive, she would ignore everything else. It was really difficult to have a sister like this.

As he pondered this, Huo Wushuang couldn't help but sigh softly.

Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, watched the two make an agreement in just a few words and couldn't help but shake her Huo Wu slightly. Huo Wu really had no idea about her own strength.

Personally, she absolutely did not want to encounter Lu Yuan. Even though their team had a member with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she still couldn't guarantee that she could defeat Lu Yuan. She had witnessed the battle firsthand and was always deeply impressed by Lu Yuan's strength.

Since he didn't want to play in the first place, let him stay put. Wouldn't it be better to play more easily?

Why make trouble for yourself?

She couldn't understand how Huo Wu's brain worked; her thought process seemed a bit different from ordinary people.

Lu Yuan chuckled softly, then turned his gaze to the Shui Bing'er sisters on his right and asked, "You two must be Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er from the Skywater Academy, right?"

"My god, how do you know my name?" Shui Bing'er was about to reply when Shui Yue'er spoke up first.

A sweet smile graced her face, and her large, icy blue eyes stared intently at Lu Yuan's face, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

Lu Yuan met Shui Yue'er's gaze briefly and instantly understood her nature.

This is a girl who is obsessed with good looks and has a slight crush on guys.

Seeing Shui Yue'er's infatuated expression, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but rub her head, looking somewhat helpless.

Sister, this is your first time meeting someone formally, and you're staring at their face like that. Is that really appropriate?

While he is indeed very handsome, you don't need to look like that. You're practically drooling; aren't you ashamed?

"Ahem!" Shui Bing'er coughed, patted Shui Yue'er beside her to remind her to be careful, and then turned her gaze to Lu Yuan, a gentle smile on her usually cold face. "Hello, I am Shui Bing'er, and this is my younger sister, Shui Yue'er."

"Hello, I am Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan said, glancing at Shui Bing'er.

Even Lu Yuan had to admit that Shui Bing'er was indeed a great beauty. She had a slender figure, long legs, and a pretty oval face. Combined with her ice-blue hair and cold temperament, her beauty was in no way inferior to Ning Rongrong beside Lu Yuan, and even slightly better than Huo Wu.

Kavenka is dead. I'll only have two updates by midnight, and three more during the day. I'll make it five updates today.
