Seeing so many pretty girls at once, Huo Wu felt the pressure too.
"No wonder you two wanted to come to Skywater Academy! So many beautiful girls—it's a real feast for the eyes!"
"Little sister, we're here on serious business. Everything is for the overall championship."
"Pfft! You're about to become just like him."
"No, no."
Feng Xiaotian patted Huo Wushuang on the shoulder and joked:
"Calm down. There are even more beauties on campus. I'm really afraid you'll get so excited your nose starts bleeding."
"That won't happen!"
"Let's go. We'll try the gate guards."
Feng Xiaotian and the other two had only taken a few steps toward the entrance when two beautiful guards stopped them.
"Stop! Who are you?"
"Didn't you see the huge warning sign at the gate?"
The two girls looked to be in their twenties. They did not seem like students and were likely female guards employed by the academy.
Feng Xiaotian stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Two beautiful sisters, I'm from Godwind Academy, and the two of them are from Blazing Fire Academy. We've come to see your Dean Meng."
As he spoke, Feng Xiaotian took out the letter of introduction his grandfather had written for Dean Meng.
"I have a letter of introduction here. Could I trouble you, sister, to show it to Dean Meng? She'll understand as soon as she sees it."
One of the girls smiled as she accepted the envelope.
"You certainly have a sweet mouth. Our academy is full of girls, so security is strict. Wait here for a moment. I'll take this to the dean. If she agrees, I'll bring you in."
"Alright, thank you for the trouble, sister."
"You're welcome."
After the girl left, Huo Wu said to Feng Xiaotian in a strange, mocking tone:
"Sister, sister—calling every other person sister sure rolls off your tongue!"
"What else could I do? We still need their help to handle our business. We're unfamiliar with this place, so we can't just barge through Skywater Academy's gates."
"How come I never noticed your mouth was so sweet before?"
Feng Xiaotian chuckled without explaining.
He was twenty-three years old, after all.
Having lived two lives, if he could not even manage something like this, how could he get by?
Meanwhile.
Inside the dean's office at Skywater Academy.
Meng Wanqing was handling academy affairs.
Someone knocked softly on the door.
"Come in!"
"Dean, there are three people at the academy gate who wish to see you."
"Who are they?"
"Three young people, two boys and a girl. They said they're from Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy."
"Godwind and Blazing Fire? Both are opponents of our academy in this year's Soul Master Tournament. What are they here for?"
"I don't know either. There's a letter of introduction here. Please take a look."
Meng Wanqing accepted the letter and opened it.
As she read, she gradually frowned.
"So something like this happened."
"Bring the three of them in!"
"Yes, Dean."
Before long, the girl returned to the academy gate.
"Our dean has read the letter. The three of you, please follow me inside."
"Alright, thank you."
Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu followed the girl into the academy.
This academy was very special. It had been built entirely for girls.
Flowers and all kinds of vines could be seen everywhere across the campus.
The scent of herbaceous plants mingled with the unique fragrance of young girls, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.
Beautiful girls were everywhere on campus, dazzling the eye.
The three of them stood out greatly as they walked along the academy paths.
"Aren't those the two boys from the gate? Why did the dean let them in?"
"Who knows? Maybe they have an unusual relationship with the dean."
"Look at that red-haired girl. She's very beautiful too, and she has such poise."
"Mm, it looks like the three of them are probably from out of town."
As they walked, Feng Xiaotian suddenly asked:
"Beautiful sister, does your academy rarely allow men inside?"
"Of course! As you can see, everyone here is a beauty. That's also our academy's greatest feature. Some people harbor improper intentions, while others are crooked-minded. We have to ensure the girls' safety. If not for that letter of introduction, the dean would not have let the three of you in."
"Mm, you're doing the right thing."
Huo Wushuang leaned close to Feng Xiaotian and whispered:
"Brother Tian, Grandpa Feng's letter of introduction is pretty useful."
"Of course. Grandpa said Dean Meng is a generation junior to him."
"No wonder."
Before long, the three of them were brought to the reception room.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go call the dean."
"Alright, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Feng Xiaotian looked around and could not help feeling a little nervous.
According to his grandfather, Dean Meng was in her early forties, an aloof and cold woman.
If he wanted to persuade Skywater Academy to form a new team with him, he would first have to get past her.
Suddenly.
"Click, click, click!"
It was the sound of high heels striking the wooden floor.
Sharp and forceful.
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu both grew a little nervous.
"When she comes in, you two speak less. I'll do the talking."
"Mm, got it."
As they spoke, Meng Wanqing walked in.
The instant they saw her, all three of them froze.
Just like her name, this woman exuded an icy, serene aura from head to toe.
Her features were exquisite, her skin as fair as jade, and her face was without a single flaw.
Her gaze was sharp, filled with pride and stubbornness.
She was tall and slender, with long, straight smoky-blue hair falling to her waist.
Her curvaceous figure added several degrees to her charm.
She looked only a few years older than Huo Wu. How did she look like a forty-year-old woman?
Calling her sister would not have been inappropriate at all.
While the three were still stunned, Meng Wanqing suddenly asked:
"Are you three the ones looking for me?"
Only then did Feng Xiaotian come back to his senses.
"Greetings, Dean Meng!"
"Greetings, Dean!"
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang called out as well.
Meng Wanqing nodded and smiled faintly as she looked at them.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Feng Xiaotian, and the two of you are from Blazing Fire Academy."
"Mm."
The three nodded together.
"Xiaotian, is your grandfather in good health?"
"Thank you for your concern, Dean. My grandfather is in very good health."
"Mm, that's good. Your grandfather explained everything in his letter. He said you created your own soul skill and can use the Wind Element to fuse other elements. You came all this way to Skywater Academy, so it probably isn't just to exchange soul skills, is it?"
"You're right. To be honest, we came for this year's Advanced Academy Soul Master Elite Tournament."
"As expected. Your two academies are both competitors of Skywater Academy in the tournament. If you have something in mind, you may as well say it directly."
After exchanging a few simple words, Feng Xiaotian realized that Dean Meng was not actually as cold and aloof as his grandfather had described.
Perhaps because the three of them were juniors, she did not act quite so imposing.
Feng Xiaotian thought for a moment, then said seriously:
"Unless something unexpected happens, Skywater, Godwind, and Blazing Fire will all reach the finals of this tournament. I want to join forces with Blazing Fire and Skywater in the finals to form a new team and challenge the Spirit Hall Team!"
