Five Elements Academy Exchange Conference

"An enemy defeated by my hand has never been worthy of being considered my opponent. I'll give you time to catch up, until I am far beyond your sight."

After that brief bout of childish posturing, Mo Hui ignored Feng Xiaotian and continued toward Hurricane Canyon.

After hearing those words, Feng Xiaotian stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long while.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Xiaotian finally came back to his senses. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he said, "So this is the real you?"

From Mo Hui's earlier words, Feng Xiaotian seemed to see a genius who stood alone across the ages and swept through an entire era. That confidence, that unshakable belief in invincibility—he could never hope to match it.

"But..."

At that moment, Feng Xiaotian suddenly took a deep breath. His gaze became resolute as he said, "I'm a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. I won't lose to you!"

With that, Feng Xiaotian resolutely ran toward Hurricane Canyon.

He had already wasted far too much time. If he wanted to make up the progress he had fallen behind on, he had to work harder than ever before!

Time passed swiftly. Half a year went by in the blink of an eye, and Mo Hui had now been on Douluo Continent for twelve years.

In the core region of Hurricane Canyon, at the center of countless storms, Mo Hui sat cross-legged. Whenever the surrounding storms and tiny wind blades came within one meter of him, they turned into pale cyan wind-element energy and were absorbed by Mo Hui.

Beside him, Pidgeotto lay on the ground resting.

The winds in Hurricane Canyon's core region were too powerful. Even Pidgeotto could not fly in the storms for long periods, so it often returned to the Wind Stabilizing Pearl's defensive range to rest.

"Pidgeot~"

Suddenly, Pidgeotto looked at the sun overhead and called out to Mo Hui beside it.

Sensing Pidgeotto's call, Mo Hui swiftly ended his cultivation and opened his eyes.

Then Mo Hui smiled and rubbed Pidgeotto's head. "Pidgeotto, is it time again?"

"Pidgeot~"

Pidgeotto nodded, indicating that it was time for Mo Hui's scheduled lesson.

In truth, given the understanding Mo Hui and Pidgeotto shared now, they could instantly understand each other without a single word. But when they were not fighting, Mo Hui still preferred speaking to Pidgeotto.

After all, such long and tedious cultivation was simply too boring. If he did not speak at all, Mo Hui feared he would gradually lose the ability to talk.

"Then let's go. I'll take you to have your favorite wind bug feast while we're at it."

Mo Hui rubbed Pidgeotto's head again, then rose to his feet and headed out of Hurricane Canyon.

After walking for a while, Mo Hui saw Feng Xiaotian, who had also finished meditating and was preparing to leave.

Feng Xiaotian saw Mo Hui as well. However, without the Wind Stabilizing Pearl's protection, the gale within the canyon blew so fiercely into his eyes that he could barely open them, making him look rather comical.

Ever since his conversation with Mo Hui that day, Feng Xiaotian had become much more diligent. He too had come to Hurricane Canyon's core region to cultivate. In just half a year, his Soul Power Level had already approached level forty-three, and his cultivation speed had not fallen too far behind Mo Hui's.

By the way, after half a year of cultivation, Mo Hui's Soul Power Level had risen from just over thirty percent of level thirty-one to level thirty-four, an increase of more than two and a half levels.

A moment later, Feng Xiaotian spoke first. "Mo Hui, you've finished cultivating? Are you going to teach at the training grounds in the academy's rear courtyard?"

Mo Hui nodded, though he found it a little strange. Wasn't that obvious? Why was Feng Xiaotian bringing it up?

"Then you might be disappointed. Tomorrow is the Five Elements Academy Exchange Conference, and this time it's being held at Godwind Academy. Almost all the teachers and students in the academy are busy preparing, so your classes will probably have to be postponed for now," Feng Xiaotian replied.

"Five Elements Academy Exchange Conference?"

Feng Xiaotian's words made Mo Hui pause slightly. He had nearly forgotten about it.

The Five Elements Academy had always maintained close ties, so they held a joint exchange conference once every three years.

The previous exchange had been held at Blazing Fire Academy. That was also when Feng Xiaotian first met Huo Wu and fell in love with her at first sight.

"Then I'll go find the dean and see how this should be handled."

With that, Mo Hui prepared to go find Feng Qingcang.

Yet Feng Xiaotian grabbed Mo Hui, placing a hand on his shoulder as he said, "Are you really stupid, or just pretending to be? Why are you still thinking about that at a time like this? Haven't you noticed the key point?"

Mo Hui waved Feng Xiaotian's hand away and asked in confusion, "The key point? What key point?"

At the same time, Mo Hui thought to himself, Could it be the joint exchange conference of the Five Elements Academy? Could there be some inside information I don't know about?

Thinking this, Mo Hui immediately looked at Feng Xiaotian and kept quiet, waiting for what he would say next.

"I can see that you don't understand at all!"

Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian helplessly slapped his forehead and said in exasperation, "Girls, girls! The Five Elements Academy Exchange Conference is not only when the Five Elements Academy show off their strength, but also a stage for us students to show ourselves.

If we perform well during this time, we'll attract the attention of female students from the other academies. Especially the students from Skywater Academy—they're almost all beautiful girls. If you can win their favor, kid, you'll be in luck."

Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, Feng Xiaotian shot Mo Hui a wary look and added, "By the way, Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy is mine. You're not allowed to steal her!"

"..."

Mo Hui's mouth twitched. He had thought it was something important, but this was it?

Then Mo Hui could not help shaking his head inwardly. Feng Xiaotian was beyond saving. Not even Jesus could save him.

Second Soul Skill, Lightning Flash!

Mo Hui's second soul ring immediately lit up, and his body turned into a streak of cyan light as he shot away. Right now, he did not want to say another word to Feng Xiaotian.

"Pidgeot~"

After Mo Hui left, Pidgeotto looked at Feng Xiaotian and shook its head helplessly as well. Then it turned into a streak of cyan light and followed Mo Hui.

Pidgeotto was much faster than Mo Hui, so it quickly caught up to him, and the two left Hurricane Canyon together.

Only Feng Xiaotian remained where he was, scratching his head in confusion. "What's wrong with Mo Hui? Isn't this important?"

A moment later, Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up as though he had thought of something.

"I know! Mo Hui must have gotten too excited after hearing that beautiful girls will be coming, so he rushed back to get ready."

As he spoke, he looked down at his disheveled appearance after being battered by the wind for days. "No, I need to hurry back and dress myself up too!"

With that, Feng Xiaotian hurriedly left Hurricane Canyon.

Fortunately, Mo Hui had left early and did not hear Feng Xiaotian's words. Otherwise, he probably would have wanted to "spar" with Feng Xiaotian again.
