Five Elements Academy Assemble

"Ha ha ha, that brat from your academy has gone to bother my daughter again."

Up on the high platform, Huo Yangyan watched Feng Xiaotian groveling around Huo Wu and burst into laughter.

"Sigh..."

Hearing this, Feng Qingcang also sighed, feeling frustrated that the boy had failed to live up to expectations.

If Feng Xiaotian's cultivation speed had been fast enough, Feng Qingcang would not only have had no objection to him chasing girls, he would have supported him with both hands.

But the problem was, Feng Xiaotian's cultivation speed was not fast enough either, was it?

Huo Wu was only sixteen and already a level thirty-seven Soul Elder. She was expected to break through to Soul Ancestor within two years, advancing even faster than Feng Xiaotian, who had Innate Full Soul Power. How could he even have the nerve?

At that moment, Feng Qingcang felt both immensely troubled and immensely fortunate.

If Mo Hui had not suddenly appeared and snapped Feng Xiaotian awake, who knew how much longer he would have continued wallowing?

Below the platform, Mo Hui could no longer stand Feng Xiaotian's shameless bootlicking. He was still a genius of Godwind Academy—wasn't he making the other academies laugh at them by acting like such a lapdog?

Finally unable to endure it any longer, three soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple—appeared around Mo Hui. He then said to Pidgeotto beside him, "Pidgeotto, go bring that disgraceful fellow back."

"Pidgeot~"

Pidgeotto nodded. Empowered by Lightning Flash, it became a streak of cyan light and appeared behind Feng Xiaotian almost instantly.

Yet Feng Xiaotian was still pressing his hot face against Huo Wu's cold rear, even trying to strike up a brotherly rapport with Huo Wushuang. Only when Pidgeotto grabbed his shoulder did he come back to his senses.

"Huh? Pidgeotto, why are you here?"

Feng Xiaotian looked at Pidgeotto gripping his shoulder, confusion in his eyes.

But Pidgeotto did not answer. Instead, it forcefully lifted Feng Xiaotian into the air.

Only then did Feng Xiaotian realize something was wrong. He immediately struggled and shouted, "Wait, Pidgeotto, why are you grabbing me? Mo Hui, Mo Hui! You can't do this!"

Feng Xiaotian's cries were heart-wrenching, but they could not stop Pidgeotto. Before long, Feng Xiaotian was brought before Mo Hui and Feng Yunfan.

"Mo Hui, what are you trying to do?"

After being brought to Mo Hui, Feng Xiaotian angrily shouted at him.

"Nothing. I simply think your behavior is too disgraceful for Godwind Academy, so you should stay here obediently."

Faced with Feng Xiaotian's accusations, Mo Hui answered calmly.

But Feng Xiaotian remained unconvinced and shouted, "I object! You're disrespecting my freedom to love! Everyone has the right to fall in love!"

Mo Hui was speechless upon hearing that. What nonsense was this about the right to love? Did Huo Wu look willing to him?

Growing impatient, Mo Hui directly said, "Stop making noise. If you're not convinced, fight me again!"

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who?!"

At those words, Feng Xiaotian immediately widened his eyes and yelled, his neck turning thick and red.

He had been worrying over not having a chance to fight Mo Hui again. Naturally, he was more than willing to take this opportunity for another match.

When he had fought Mo Hui before, he had yet to obtain his fourth soul ring and had not learned Mo Hui's Air Blade Multi-Merge. His strength was now far beyond what it had been, so of course he wanted to regain his dignity.

"Oh?"

Mo Hui was almost angered into laughter. The rain had stopped and the skies had cleared, so Feng Xiaotian thought he was capable again?

Had he learned Cutting Wind Wheel? How could he be so arrogant?

At this time, on the high platform, Shui Yueruo looked down at Mo Hui in surprise and said, "Your genius student looks to be only around twelve, yet his cultivation has already reached level thirty-four."

"Indeed, Brother Qingcang, where did you find such a monster? He's far stronger than that brat Feng Xiaotian."

Huo Yangyan was equally shocked. He had not paid attention before, but now he realized that the boy's cultivation had actually reached level thirty-four.

Level thirty-four at around twelve years old—such a cultivation speed was not entirely unheard of, but it came close.

Even the strongest prodigies he had seen, Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, might not have possessed such cultivation at this age.

"Ha ha ha~"

Hearing his two old friends praise Mo Hui so highly, Feng Qingcang was naturally delighted. But after laughing, he sighed somewhat dejectedly. "Although I would like to claim credit, Mo Hui truly was not found by this old man. He was recommended by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Recommended by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yangyan and Shui Yueruo exchanged a glance and both fell silent.

After a moment, Huo Yangyan patted Feng Qingcang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect invests in many geniuses. This only shows that they have a good eye; it doesn't mean anything else."

Although Huo Yangyan said that, he knew full well that with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as an option, the chances of Mo Hui choosing Godwind Academy were extremely slim.

In fact, let alone Godwind Academy alone, even all Five Elements Academy combined might not be more appealing than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Brother Yangyan, there's no need to comfort me. I know where I stand," Feng Qingcang replied.

Honestly, Godwind Academy had already gained enough. Though it was a pity that they could not keep a genius like Mo Hui, forging a good relationship with him was not bad either.

"Ha ha ha, what are you three chatting about?"

Just as the two were talking, one blue-purple and one earth-yellow figure raced over from afar like twin bolts of lightning. Within seconds, they arrived beside the three men and took their seats in the places prepared beforehand. They were Yu Hengyu, principal of Thunder Academy, and Huyan Dong, principal of Elephant Armored Academy.

Each of the Five Elements Academy had its own backers. Thunder Academy and Elephant Armored Academy were backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Elephant Armored Sect respectively, so it was hardly strange that their principals were core members of the two great sects.

"Yu Hengyu, Huyan Dong, you two are rather late."

Seeing the two arrive, Feng Qingcang gave a slight nod before speaking.

"We were delayed by a few matters on the road, so we arrived late. Please forgive us if we have delayed the exchange conference."

Yu Hengyu clasped his hands, his voice carrying a trace of apology.

"Thunder Academy and Elephant Armored Academy have arrived!"

At this moment, the students and teachers of Thunder Academy and Elephant Armored Academy also entered the Soul Duel Arena. Guided by Godwind Academy's teachers, they slowly made their way to their designated places and sat down.

At this point, everyone from the Five Elements Academy had arrived.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's quickly begin this exchange! We can catch up later while watching these juniors fight."

Huyan Dong was impatient by nature. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he immediately shouted bluntly at Feng Qingcang.

Hearing this, Feng Qingcang immediately stood up and began delivering the customary lengthy congratulatory remarks and precautions.

It was not until Huyan Dong impatiently spoke up to remind him again that Feng Qingcang helplessly announced:

"I declare the Five Elements Academy Exchange Conference officially begun!"
