Reunion

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"

A freshman who had just enrolled this year looked in the direction from which the explosion came.

I was startled by the dazzling flash and the heat wave from the explosion.

An older student standing nearby remained quite calm. He explained to the new students, "Don't be afraid. That direction is where the academy's Martial Arts Practice Field is located, and it's also where the academy's battle teams train."

This is the first time this semester, but this kind of thing happened frequently last semester. You'll get used to it.

As he spoke, the senior student kept staring in the direction of the Martial Arts Practice Field, his eyes filled with envy.

Rumors are circulating in the academy that their current Blazing Fire Team will be the strongest ever.

All the higher-ups at the academy have extremely high expectations for them, and all the students in the same cohort consider it an honor to join the Blazing Fire Team.

Therefore, at least in their cohort, the students have set off a wave of enthusiasm for diligent cultivation.

Even if they cannot join as official players, they can still become substitute players.

Back at the Martial Arts Practice Field, everyone present was terrified by the breathtaking scene.

The Energy Shield in front of Dean Wu Jie was tattered and torn, clearly indicating that it had been subjected to an unbearable weight.

"Xiao Wu!"

Wu Jie's tone was filled with anger. If he had been a step slower, the situation could have been irreversible.

Huo Wu realized she had gone too far, and she quickly withdrew her Martial Soul and Soul Skill.

The blazing white light disappeared from the Martial Arts Practice Field, and Huo Wushuang, who had been suspended in the sky by thick tentacles, was freed.

In just over ten seconds, the blazing white whip burned away the hard scales, almost touching the flesh inside.

It wasn't just the power, but also the light-speed-like movement, the sudden increase in the number of whips, and the way the shadow used the Soul Skill in place of the main body, that caught Huo Wushuang off guard.

Huo Wu, forcing herself to walk stronger, approached the two men and asked, "Brother, are you alright? I... I didn't mean to. I just..."

Huo Wu's eyes reddened; she had just been blinded by the desire to win and had briefly lost her senses.

Huo Wushuang immediately raised his hand and rubbed Huo Wu's head, laughing heartily, "Haha, I'm fine."

Wu Jie, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted, saying, "Xiao Wu, remember, don't let your own power consume you. You must rely on yourself and control your own power."

Being able to perfectly control your Soul Skill doesn't mean you've controlled your own power.

I hope you will remember this.

This was the first time Wu Jie had said such harsh words to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu's inner weakness was exposed by Wu Jie. She realized that she had been pursuing power too much recently and neglecting other things.

Her temperament has not yet caught up with her rapidly increasing strength.

Huo Wu took a deep breath, and the chaos and coldness in her eyes returned to calm.

"I'm sorry, Dean. I was blinded by power."

However, rest assured, I guarantee this will not happen again.

Seeing Huo Wu Jie seemed to have regained her composure, Wu Jie sighed and announced loudly to everyone, "Today's training is over. Everyone may leave now."

Feeling guilty Huo Wu walked up to all her teammates and sincerely apologized for her aggressive behavior some time ago.

Her winning streak is proof that her strength has reached a higher level.

She caused unnecessary suffering to her team members in pursuit of a vague and unsubstantiated proof.

Fortunately, the team members generously accepted the apology and expressed their understanding.

She refused everyone's company and, dragging her weak body, walked alone on the way back.

Her silhouette looked somewhat forlorn.

"The road ahead is so long today."

Huo Wu walked very slowly; a journey that usually takes only half an hour took her a full hour and a half today.

Arriving at the lake, Huo Wu sat on a wooden deck chair by the lake, staring blankly at the clear lake, lost in thought.

Next to the recliner is a small round table where you can put things, and next to the round table is an identical wooden recliner.

Behind the two deck chairs, there was a Giant Parasol stuck in the ground.

This was made by Quan Yi himself so that he could enjoy it even more.

When you get tired from swimming, you can lie here, eat fruit, and drink juice—it's so pleasant!

After Quan Yi left, Huo Wu would often sit here and watch the lake, and she would sit there for an entire afternoon.

Because she didn't like that empty room.

Huo Wu curled up, hugging her bent knees with both hands, and said with a slight tremor:

"Xiao Yi, when are you coming back?"

Just then, a muffled sound came from the Wooden House in the distance.

The sound, like a heavy object falling to the ground, immediately alerted Huo Wu.

However, she immediately realized something and stood up from the recliner.

They ran quickly toward the Wooden House.

"Bang!"

Pushing open the door forcefully, Huo Wu saw an incredibly tall figure appear before Huo Wu.

Despite the unfamiliar height, Huo Wu recognized him at a glance.

"Xiao Yi!"

Quan Yi turned around stiffly, scratching the back of his head helplessly. "Isn't this training time? I was planning to prepare a surprise for you, but I didn't expect this."

"Puff!"

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Wu's delicate body crashed into Quan Yi's body, the force of which almost made Quan Yi spit out saliva.

"Xiao Wu, have you gotten stronger?"

Quan Yi made a joke, but when he saw Huo Wu's trembling body and rapid breathing, he realized something was wrong.

His eyes softened considerably.

Quan Yi opened his arms and hugged Huo Wu tightly, whispering gently, "I'm back."

Huo Wu used all her strength to hold Quan Yi tightly, as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.

Night falls.

Soft, orange lighting, fragrant food, and a handsome couple together create a romantic scene.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Through their brief separation, the two truly realized how important each other was to them.

Quan Yi the best meat in front of Huo Wu.

"Try it."

Huo Wu, Huo Wu couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm! It's so delicious!"

The fresh meat, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of heat, is incredibly tender.

The fresh vitality of the meat is perfectly presented on the tip of your tongue.

Seeing Huo Wu eat his food with a satisfied expression, Quan Yi felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Gulp."

As Huo Wu swallowed it, an energy she had never felt before spread throughout her body.

The physical exhaustion and mental fatigue were relieved instantly.

Huo Wu asked in surprise, "What kind of meat is this?"

Its immediate recovery effect is comparable to a healing-type Soul Skill.

Quan Yi smiled and said, "This is the Soul Beast Meat of a 50,000-year-old Fire Spirit Holy Beast. Moreover, because it is stored in Space Soul Tool, the corpse is kept in the freshest state."

The Blazing Sun Heart is Storage Soul Tool that cannot be used to store living organisms. Therefore, microorganisms that cause food spoilage cannot enter the Soul Tool.

Therefore, Soul Tool can greatly extend the storage time of food.

Its effectiveness is hundreds of times greater than that of a refrigerator.

With the expanded Storage Space, Quan Yi can now easily store the giant Soul Beast he has hunted.
