After the competition ended, Jingwei, along with Master and others, went to the rest room to comfort the Shrek Team members. Apart from Tang San, the others were so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to speak, but this was only a facade.

The seven-colored light could block the view of other spectators and nobles in the VIP seats, but it could not block Jingwei's view, and she could see the situation inside very clearly.

While the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill is powerful, the fusion skill of the Seven-in-One is not so powerful, especially the collision of God Power. Jingwei once heard Crimson Kite talk about Tang San.

He seems to possess a method for cultivating God Power, and his God Power is quite strong, but he has only just begun to enter this field. It's just unexpected that his growth in this area would be so rapid in just one year.

Those purplish eyes must be the method by which it unleashes its mental attacks.

The rest room wasn't just occupied by the Shrek Academy team; there were other teams preparing for today's competition, or those that had already finished their matches and were resting.

Among them are Blazing Fire Academy, which once fought against Shrek Academy, and Godwind Academy, which will fight against them.

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, as the captain and vice-captain of the Blazing Fire Academy, both looked at Tang San in shock. They knew that when the final result was announced, he was the only one still standing!

At this moment, they still believed that Canghui Academy used Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so their shock was inevitable.

On the other side, Feng Xiaotian of the Godwind Academy looked at Shrek with the same expression, especially Tang San, since he had a special relationship with Huo Wu of the Blazing Fire Academy.

After losing to Tang San, Huo Wu made a solemn promise that if she could defeat Shrek, especially Tang San, Huo Wu would become his girlfriend.

Feng Xiaotian had been looking forward to meeting Shrek because of this promise, but the shocking scene that unfolded before their meeting made him uneasy.

This is too powerful! How can they possibly fight? Even the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill couldn't do anything to Shrek...

Just thinking about it sends a chill down my spine, but suddenly Tang San's expression calmly changed.

"You don't need to look at me like that. That wasn't a seven-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

After saying that, he ignored everyone else and began meditating on his own.

Regardless, the appearance still needs to be presented convincingly.

Seeing that Shrek and his group were unharmed, the Master and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jingwei knew that their vomiting of blood was fake, but the Master and the others did not! When they saw the seven people vomiting blood and flying out, even their calm hearts couldn't help but jump.

Jingwei's crimson eyes scanned the rest room, and when she saw that everything had settled down, her clear voice rang out.

"Since they're alright, I'll be going now!"

After saying that, she looked at the Master with sparkling eyes. As for Flender, given his stingy nature, Jingwei felt it would be difficult to get even a Copper Soul Coins from him.

Helpless, the Master still reached out and took out a few Silver Soul Coin, handing them to Jingwei and telling her not to stay out too late and to go home early. Then, he saw Jingwei take the soul coins and disappear in the blink of an eye.

The Master sighed again; Fu Hua, this pet, was really too unruly.

Meanwhile, when Tang San uttered those words, the members of the team unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a seven-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which was good; at least it wasn't that kind of divine skill.

After relieving the oppressive pressure in their hearts, the team members noticed the unfamiliar faces in the rest room. When Huo Wu turned to look at Master, her pupils shrank and she froze on the spot.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Huo Wushuang looked at his younger sister curiously.

Aside from the incident with Tang San, what else could have made his sister act this way?

Her gaze followed the movement and she caught sight of Jingwei leaving. From her back, she appeared to be a beautiful woman, but that shouldn't have shocked Huo Wu so much.

Suddenly, Huo Wu's voice came from beside her, sounding somewhat urgent, and her figure followed the crimson figure away.

"Brother, I have something to do. You guys go back on your own!"

They disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong with Xiao Wu? Could she have been traumatized?" Huo Wushuang muttered.

"Hey! Wushuang, where's Xiao Wu?" Feng Xiaotian asked from the side.

"I don't know. She said she had something to do and told us to go back first."

"What's wrong? What is it? Don't tell me you have a crush on someone? Hmm! My Xiao Wu."

Ignoring the quirky Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang led his teammates out of the lounge and prepared to go back.

The streets began to buzz with noise. The competition was almost over, and spectators were gradually leaving. Only now did the street truly look like a street.

After arriving on the street, Jingwei went straight to the food stalls without saying a word.

"Boss, give me two scallion pancakes."

"Alright! Little girl, please wait a moment."

Not far from the competition venue, this is also where the vendors are most concentrated. Whenever such a grand event begins, it is the time for these small vendors to make a profit, but the rented space is also very expensive.

"Little girl, here's your scallion pancake."

"Thanks"

Jingwei was still very polite.

Holding a pancake in each hand, she skipped and hopped into the crowd. Huo Wu, who had just arrived, could only see her back and anxiously chased after her.

More and more pedestrians appeared on the street, until finally, even that silhouette was almost invisible. This made Huo Wu very anxious, but she couldn't act recklessly in Heaven Dou City just because she was Soul Master, or she would be caught by the patrol guards.

Ultimately, this is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and all Soul Master need to behave themselves.

Fortunately, Jingwei kept stopping and looking around, eating here and there, so she didn't lose track of them. Otherwise, Huo Wu might have gone to block Shrek Academy's gate again.

In front of the skewers shop, Jingwei stood there, staring at the variety of skewers, wishing she could buy the whole stall. Unfortunately, the money the Master had given her was far too little, not enough to buy the entire food stall.

I couldn't help but sigh, but I still ordered a few skewers and sat down to eat.

The food was extremely spicy, but it was still a bit bland for Jingwei. For a mythical beast like her, her taste was something that ordinary people couldn't possibly satisfy.

Before long, Jingwei finished off the skewers in front of her, and she still looked like she hadn't had enough.

"I really want a few more skewers!"

"The grilled skewers at this food stall are delicious!"

Just as Jingwei was about to pay and leave, a girl's voice suddenly came from beside her. The voice was clear and crisp, with Sisi of heat.

Jingwei turned her head and saw that this girl was none other than Huo Wu!

"Yes! That's right. It's a pity, though, that the Master always limits my allowance. Otherwise, I would definitely make this master my chef," Jingwei agreed. Although she didn't know why Huo Wu was there, she still agreed with her opinion on food.

"Want a few more skewers?" Huo Wu tempted.

They've spent the whole trip eating and playing, and Jingwei's personality has been thoroughly figured out. For Huo Wu, who has ulterior motives, this is a great opportunity.

"Hey! Is that okay? But... I don't have any money on me."

"It's alright, it's on me."

His eyes lit up, and a spark of fire flashed in his crimson pupils.

"Thanks"

Without any hesitation, she sat down again, and this time she didn't impose any restrictions. She ordered more than a dozen extra-spicy skewers and started eating.

The vibrant colors and fragrant aroma made everyone's mouths water; even Huo Wu felt her mouth watering just looking at it.

"Hmm! Do you want some? Feel free to take whatever you like."

You say that, but... could you please take your hand away?

She was protecting him so tightly, as if she was afraid someone would snatch him away from her. Huo Wu was helpless. Why did she come looking for this glutton?

The meal lasted a very short time, at least in Jingwei's eyes. She ate from afternoon until evening without her stomach showing any signs of Jingwei, which convinced Huo Wu once again that Jingwei was a monster.

She ate so many extremely spicy skewers and then ate at every food stall without stopping. It seems her stomach is a bottomless pit. If Huo Wu hadn't dragged her away at the end, she probably would have continued eating until morning.

Getting Jingwei to leave is actually quite simple; just stop paying for her, and she'll immediately follow you away.

Although no one knows who raised such a gluttonous fellow, it doesn't stop Huo Wu from angrily telling that person, "Are you raising a human or a pig?!"

"Yes, Huo Wu, it's getting late today, let's meet tomorrow! If Master sees me going back too late, he'll definitely tell Crimson Kite, and then I won't be able to eat anything delicious anymore," Jingwei said, sounding slightly aggrieved.

Crimson Kite is too strict. She won't let me eat anything delicious and even says I'm fat.

Huo Wu nodded, responding blankly, but her mind was preoccupied with the Crimson Kite Lord that Jingwei had mentioned.

"Then see you tomorrow. Will you... treat me to something to eat again tomorrow?"

Well, Jingwei hasn't forgotten about food.

Huo Wu nodded blankly again, unsure of what expression to use to convey her current feelings.

"Okay! Let's do Crimson Kite said that promises must be kept, otherwise one is an untrustworthy person, and such a person should never be befriended."

Huo Wu twitched the corner of her mouth, reached out and hooked her little finger with Jingwei's. All her strength seemed to be exhausted by this action. Watching Jingwei enter the hotel, Huo Wu dragged her tired body back to her resting place.

As soon as she entered, she saw her older brother, Huo Wushuang, waiting for something. When he saw her, Huo Wushuang's eyes lit up, knowing that he must have been waiting for her.

"Xiao Wu, why are you so late? We were so worried, we thought..."

"It's nothing," Huo Wu said listlessly.

"What's wrong? You look so down. Did someone bully you? We'll go get revenge for you right away!" Huo Wushuang said angrily.

Huo Wu simply waved her hand, dispelling his idea.

"So, what exactly happened?"

"You must have seen that person in the locker room at the stadium too!"

"Oh! You mean that girl in the red and white dress? I've seen her, but I didn't see her face clearly. What does that have to do with her? Even if we were defeated by Shrek, we can't go after that girl because of that!"

At this point, Huo Wushuang's expression turned serious. If you lose, you can fight back, but you absolutely cannot do such a despicable thing.

This is also the difference between the Blazing Fire Academy and Canghui Academy. To become one of the top academies on the continent, not only is strength important, but also character.

That's why Canghui Academy can only be ranked third-rate!

"Brother, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Huo Wu rolled her eyes; she was such a sore loser.

"What happened?"

"Brother, you should know about Martial Soul Fusion Skill, right? It's extremely difficult for Martial Soul like mine to Martial Soul Fusion with another's, and it also requires a fire-attribute Martial Soul to have a high compatibility with me."

"That's right, but this has nothing to do with her... wait, you mean..." Huo Wushuang was shocked.

But Huo Wu slowly nodded, acknowledging Huo Wushuang's guess.

"But that person is from the Shrek Academy! They might even be a member of the team participating in this competition."

Huo Wu bit her lower lip, her expression showing hesitation.

"I know, but I feel that her Martial Soul Fusion is very high, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed out to contact her this afternoon. I wanted to sound her out, but..." Huo Wu suddenly looked helpless at this point.

He almost slipped himself in while trying to get a word in, and now he feels a pang of regret as he touches his purse.

She eats so much; her food reserves are almost empty.

"It's okay, I'll go with you next time."

Just as Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were discussing how to get close to Jingwei again, Jingwei, whom they were talking about, was comfortably lying on the sofa, looking quite content.

Ning Rongrong looked over curiously, and couldn't help but voice the question that had been bothering her.

"You seem quite happy today, Jingwei!"

"Hehe! I slaughtered a big fat sheep today!"

Jingwei was happy to eat so many free snacks! It's a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive!

"But what does Huo Wu, the vice-captain of the Blazing Fire Academy, want with me?" Jingwei wondered to herself.

P. S.: Can I say I'm going to read Mahjong Girl? I don't even feel like updating anymore. I suddenly want to do what Ritz Kobayashi does—update her manga whenever she updates, but that's just a thought.
