Fei saw a flying bird covered in flames, flapping its wings as it rapidly flew toward him.
"Whoa!"
"What the heck is that?"
Fei widened his eyes and instinctively flew backward.
After discovering that he was many times faster than the bird, Fei immediately relaxed.
"Third Soul Skill: Crimson Fire Meteor!"
From the forest below, a fireball tore through the air and shot toward the giant Flame Bird.
In a single exchange, the giant Flame Bird was engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
The next moment.
Under Fei's astonished gaze.
The Flame Bird helplessly fell from the sky.
"Holy crap!"
"This Soul Skill is pretty awesome!"
Fei turned to look down, wanting to see who had attacked the Flame Bird and helped him out of trouble.
He saw Shiyun, Huo Wu, Wushuang, and Xiaotian reveal themselves.
"It's them..."
Fei slowly descended onto a treetop, his gaze landing on the four people below.
"Thank you."
Shiyun smiled and shook her head. "Don't mention it."
"We happened to need this Flame Bird's Soul Ring."
"Huo Wu, it's yours."
"Okay, Mom!" Huo Wu glanced at Fei on the treetop and snorted softly. She then took a dagger from her Soul Tool and ended the Flame Bird's life with a single slash.
"Little Sister Huo Wu, I'll protect you while you absorb it!" Xiaotian stepped forward ingratiatingly and stood guard beside Huo Wu.
"Go away. Don't disturb me!" Huo Wu snorted coldly before beginning to absorb the Soul Ring.
Seeing this, Xiaotian did not get angry.
Instead, he cheerfully stood guard beside Huo Wu.
"Wushuang, go over and guard your sister too," Shiyun said softly.
"Okay." Wushuang nodded.
"Little friend, you don't have to be so afraid!" Seeing how wary Fei was, and that he was even unwilling to come down and speak with them, Shiyun found it somewhat amusing.
Fei thought for a moment.
After all, they had just helped him.
Besides, he was penniless.
Looking at them again, even their clothes seemed extremely expensive.
What could they possibly want from him?
His good looks?
That was a possibility.
As Fei thought about it, he nodded thoughtfully.
Then he jumped down from the treetop.
"Hehe..." Shiyun smiled faintly and walked forward with graceful steps. A warm smile appeared on her face as she asked gently, "Little fellow, are you here alone?"
"No!" Fei shook his head. "My family should have sent someone to protect me in secret. As for where they are, I don't know!"
When you're out in the world, you have to establish your own identity!
It shouldn't be too much to boast a little, right?
That's how all those fantasy novels are written!
"Your family?" Shiyun was stunned.
Clearly, Fei's answer was beyond her expectations.
Moreover, Fei was dressed in bright-red armor, and his appearance was rather extraordinary. He did not look like an ordinary person.
For a moment, he really managed to fool Shiyun.
"Little fellow, my name is Shiyun, and I'm the dean of Blazing Fire Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"As for those three..."
"The one currently absorbing a Soul Ring is my daughter, Huo Wu."
"The other one in red is my son, Wushuang."
"And the last one is the son of a close friend of mine, Xiaotian."
"What about you?"
"What's your name?"
Shiyun introduced herself while also explaining Huo Wu and the others' identities.
Seeing how sincere Shiyun was, Fei thought for a moment before smiling and saying:
"My name is Fei!"
The surname Fei? Is there another Fei family on the continent besides mine? Could this child be from a hidden family? Shiyun wondered inwardly.
She knew quite a bit about the hidden families on the continent.
They were all powerful families that rarely appeared in public. In terms of strength, they might not be weaker than the current seven great sects!
They might even be stronger!
Shiyun thought of many things in that instant.
She also became curious about Fei's identity. For such a young child to be alone in the Star Dou Great Forest, just how bold was his family?
"So, does that mean you currently have no companions with you?"
The corners of Shiyun's lips lifted slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Uh, I guess so!"
Fei had not expected Shiyun's thoughts to be so clear.
She was nothing like the characters described in novels.
"Fei, the Star Dou Great Forest is very dangerous. If there's no particular need, you'd be better off leaving."
Shiyun's expression grew slightly more solemn.
"Thank you for telling me. I'll be careful," Fei said with a faint smile.
"Judging by your age, you're even younger than my daughter. You probably aren't a Soul Master yet, are you? Why don't you return with us? It'll be safer that way," Shiyun suggested.
Fei was stunned.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
He carefully sized up Shiyun before him.
Judging by her appearance alone, she seemed to be a gentle and kind beauty...
Seeing Fei scrutinize her, Shiyun openly allowed him to examine her closely. A gentle smile remained on her face as she did her best to make Fei trust her.
"Don't worry. I'm the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, not a bad person."
"Blazing Fire Academy?" Fei furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "What kind of academy is Blazing Fire Academy? Is it very powerful?"
"You've never heard of Blazing Fire Academy?" Shiyun's beautiful eyes widened slightly. She found it somewhat unbelievable, yet also reasonable.
A hidden family not knowing about her Blazing Fire Academy was perfectly normal.
"Our Blazing Fire Academy is located in Blazing Fire City, south of Heaven Dou City. It's an advanced Soul Master academy! All the students there are Soul Masters above Rank 15!" Shiyun explained.
Fei nodded thoughtfully.
An advanced Soul Master academy!
Just from the name alone, it sounds much more impressive than Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy!
He happened to have nowhere to go at the moment.
I might as well go to Blazing Fire Academy and have some fun.
