A Sudden Rise
Quan Yi's judgment was very accurate; Feng Xiaotian's current Soul Power Level has reached level fifty-nine.
Having been defeated by Quan Yi and completely giving up on his dreams, Feng Xiaotian became incredibly focused on his cultivation.
Through his diligent practice, his Innate Full Soul Power was fully developed.
Moreover, after turning twenty, in order to prevent his cultivation speed from slowing down, Feng Xiaotian endured hardship for four years in a valley where Hurricane could be generated every day.
However, even so, the gap between Quan Yi and Feng Xiaotian not only did not narrow, but widened significantly.
Feng Xiaotian must have sensed this as well.
However, knowing the gap, he still chose to challenge himself, which is enough to prove that Feng Xiaotian is no longer the reckless young man he was eight years ago.
"Your courage is commendable, but I refuse."
If that's all you're doing, you can leave now.
Quan Yi made a firm decision and turned to leave.
He didn't know what Feng Xiaotian's mindset was in challenging him; perhaps it was to prove himself, or perhaps it was to put an end to his own life.
However, regardless of his purpose, Quan Yi has no obligation to cooperate with him.
Feng Xiaotian's face stiffened, and a feeling of dejection immediately rose in his heart.
Looking at Quan Yi's retreating back, he wanted to reach out and stop him, but he couldn't raise his arm.
He had never felt his arms so heavy.
The inner pressure and fear prevented him from getting close.
He had exhausted all his courage by challenging Quan Yi just now.
The willpower he had been holding onto vanished with Quan Yi's rejection.
Huo Wushuang looked at Feng Xiaotian with a pitiful expression and comforted him, "Give up, they are no longer on the same level as you."
Feng Xiaotian remained silent; at this moment, he felt no resentment, only relief.
"I know."
He left those words behind, then turned and walked away, though his back seemed more relaxed than before.
For Quan Yi, Feng Xiaotian has always been both a source of pressure and a driving force.
However, no matter how hard he cultivated, he could not imagine the scene of the gap being narrowed.
Because he knew that at the same time, Quan Yi would be even more diligent than him.
More importantly, he realized this too late, wasting a full ten precious years. The gap he created in this area is absolutely impossible to make up for easily.
As time went on, the pressure from Quan Yi on Feng Xiaotian grew, and it even began to transform into a nightmare in his heart.
Appropriate pressure can be motivating, but when it exceeds one's limits, it only becomes a burden that hinders progress.
Feng Xiaotian came today not for anything else, but to challenge Quan Yi and clear away the shadows in his heart.
However, reality is crueler than imagined; he needed to muster up his courage just to stand in front of Quan Yi.
However, this also made him fully realize reality and understand himself.
Surprisingly, this eliminated his inner demons and gave him a fresh start.
Inside the luxury suite, Huo Wu had already changed into a brand new dress.
Seeing Quan Yi return, Huo Wu lifted her skirt and invited, "Want to go for a stroll?"
Quan Yi chuckled and extended his hand, saying, "Let's go. I'm quite familiar with Heaven Dou City."
This was just a minor incident for them, not worth their further attention.
Over the next ten days or so, taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, the two of them were able to relax for a rare period of time.
Aside from necessary meditation and physical exercise, they spent the rest of their time enjoying a festive atmosphere.
Time flies, and soon the opening ceremony of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Heaven Dou Empire Division, arrived.
The opening ceremony will be held at the newly renovated Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
For this event, the Great Soul Arena has integrated the central area and the secondary areas to form a unified giant competition venue.
Once connected, the Great Soul Arena can accommodate up to 80,000 people.
In addition to the opening ceremony, the subsequent Preliminary Competition will also be held at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
Before sunrise, a huge crowd had already gathered around the Great Soul Arena.
This group of people wasn't there to get into the venue early or to queue up in advance.
Their goal was simply to observe those young Spirit Master from a closer distance.
Spirit Master are already extremely rare, and those who can participate in the Tournament are the cream of the crop among Spirit Master.
Whether commoners or nobles, everyone was filled with curiosity and interest in these contestants.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu led the Blazing Fire Academy, dressed in gold and red team uniforms, and walked into the Great Soul Arena with their heads held high.
The appearance of the Blazing Fire Academy instantly caused a stir in the surrounding area.
The two leaders attracted the attention of countless viewers simply because of their flamboyant appearances.
Huo Wu, like a fire Queen emerging from Lie Yan.
And then Quan Yi, a towering man who resembles Dragon Transformation form.
The aura emanating from the two men was both striking and deterring them from getting close.
Therefore, from the sky, amidst the crowded masses, only the path taken by the Blazing Fire Academy would carve out a space.
Even the audience held their breath, silently watching the Blazing Fire Academy enter the Great Soul Arena.
"Phew, what powerful courage! I almost forgot to breathe."
Which academy is this? It looks incredibly strong.
The audience only started discussing it after the Blazing Fire Academy had disappeared from sight.
"You're so ignorant! Those gold and red team uniforms belong to the Blazing Fire Academy."
This is one of the most powerful academies in the Heaven Dou region, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Judging from this, I think Blazing Fire Academy will definitely bring us even bigger surprises this year.
Blazing Fire Academy captured the hearts of the audience with just their debut.
They were all discussing information about Quan Yi and Huo Wu. Of course, it wasn't just the audience who were paying attention to them; even nobles and people from other academies were noticing them.
"Where did these two people come from? Why don't we have any information about them?"
"The female student is very likely the dean's daughter, Huo Wu."
We know very little about her, and most of what we know is about her childhood.
As for the male student, this is the first time we've seen him, and we have absolutely no information about him.
"No intelligence? Then what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and start gathering information."
I need to know all the information about this male trainee as soon as possible.
Because Quan Yi is extremely low-key, only the Godwind Academy knows of his existence, and they haven't seen Quan Yi for several years, so they don't know much about Quan Yi current situation.
Soul Fight Arena, Huo Wushuang looked at Quan Yi and Huo Wu and teased, "You two are really making a splash now."
I'm sure everyone is very curious about the two of you, and the academy will definitely be focusing its intelligence gathering on you.
Quan Yi remained quite calm about this.
"It doesn't matter. Even if they find out something, it won't change the outcome that Blazing Fire Academy will win."
Let's go, it's time to meet this year's contestants.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu walked hand in hand into the rest area prepared for the participating academies in the Great Soul Arena.
When the Blazing Fire Team entered the rest area, it also attracted the attention of all the academies present.
The space, which had been filled with conversation, suddenly fell silent.
