The Girls' Expectations

The Girls' Expectations

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's attitude, Huo Wu could no longer hold herself back. She was so angry she could not even speak.

This grown boy had secretly loved her for a full five years.

And now he had changed his heart just like that!

But what could she do?

After all, nothing had ever happened between them. They were nothing to each other. Before, it had only been Feng Xiaotian's unrequited love.

Huo Wu gradually came to understand her own feelings.

She found Feng Xiaotian increasingly charming and always could not help wanting to pay attention to him.

Now, it seemed their roles had reversed. She had become the one secretly in love with someone else.

But she was proud and tsundere.

Ever since childhood, she had always been pampered.

She could not bring herself to say it first.

At least, not yet.

"Feng Xiaotian, I hate you!"

Huo Wu could only vent her dissatisfaction this way.

After saying that, she stormed off in a huff.

Although Huo Wushuang doted on his little sister, he had not even figured out matters of the heart himself. How could he meddle in someone else's affairs?

"Brother Tian, Huo Wu is acting a little obsessed right now. It looks like she has fallen for you."

"Come on, let's follow her. With that fiery temper of hers, she might cause some trouble."

The two followed after her. Huo Wu was still fuming.

Feng Xiaotian ignored her and merely chatted with Huo Wushuang behind her.

"Wushuang, girls all like strong men. I guess Xue Wu is no exception. Her Soul Power has already reached level 41, while you're still at level 39. You need to work harder."

"Don't worry, I will! I'm almost level 40. Once I hunt a Soul Beast and obtain my Fourth Soul Ring, I should be able to catch up to her."

"Mm. Let me know once you reach level 40. We'll go to the Soul Beast Forest together. Hunting Soul Beasts together can also build our teamwork."

"Alright!"

"Hmph! Who wants to build teamwork with you!"

Though Huo Wu said that aloud, she was still a little happy inside.

Perhaps before long, she would be able to go to the Soul Beast Forest with Feng Xiaotian to hunt Soul Beasts.

The matters here had already been settled.

Feng Xiaotian and the other two would head back today.

Elsewhere.

In the headmistress's office at Skywater Academy.

Meng Wanqing looked solemnly at the three girls before her.

"Regarding this Soul Master Tournament, we need to revise our plans. Second place is no longer our goal."

Shui Bing'er asked in confusion, "Headmistress, is it because of Feng Xiaotian? With him around, we may not be able to take second place."

"Our failure to take second place will not be solely because of Feng Xiaotian. There are other reasons."

The three girls were all surprised to hear that.

"Headmistress, what exactly is going on?"

"Feng Xiaotian has learned a great deal of intelligence. Aside from the powerful Spirit Hall Team, another formidable opponent will appear among your rivals: Shrek Academy."

"Shrek Academy? I've never heard of it."

"Precisely because you've never heard of it, you must not let your guard down."

Afterward, Meng Wanqing told the three girls everything she knew about Shrek Academy.

However, she did not tell them Tang San's true identity.

Because Feng Xiaotian had told her that although Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, he currently mainly used Blue Silver Grass. The Clear Sky Hammer had yet to be revealed.

After hearing Meng Wanqing's account, the girls also sensed Shrek Academy's strength.

However, they were not intimidated.

Shui Bing'er said confidently, "Headmistress, please rest assured. Our Skywater Team is not weak either. If we truly encounter Shrek Academy, we will definitely give it our all."

"Mm, I believe in you. However, our goal is not to lower our ranking, but to win the overall championship!"

???

The girls were even more shocked upon hearing that.

Shui Yue'er asked quietly, "Headmistress, are we really going to challenge the Spirit Hall Team?"

"What? Are you afraid?"

Shui Yue'er lowered her head and said nothing.

She was only fifteen or sixteen and had little actual combat experience, let alone against opponents as powerful as Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Meng Wanqing smiled.

"Don't be afraid. I was only joking.

This time, we really will challenge the Spirit Hall Team. But it won't be just us—Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy will join as well.

After entering the Grand Finals, our Three Elements Academy will form a new team, led by Feng Xiaotian."

After hearing Meng Wanqing's explanation, the girls were both surprised and delighted.

"Really? If that's the case, then that's wonderful!"

"Yes, if our three academies form a team together, we might be able to contend with the Spirit Hall Team."

"But do the tournament rules allow us to do that?"

Meng Wanqing replied calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. Feng Xiaotian will arrange it."

Xue Wu was somewhat doubtful.

"Headmistress, I've heard that Spirit Hall's Golden Generation is stronger than any team in the past. Can Feng Xiaotian really lead us to the overall championship?"

"I tested his strength. He is stronger than all of you. As for whether we can win the final overall championship, it is still too early to say. It will depend on how well your teamwork develops."

"But we don't have much time left, only seven or eight months."

"Yes."

Shui Bing'er shared Shui Yue'er's concern.

There was too little time to build coordination, and that would become an obstacle to winning the championship.

Meng Wanqing said seriously, "The reason I called the three of you here was precisely to explain this.

The new team will have seven members, and all three of you will be among them.

Next, you will travel with Feng Xiaotian to the Suo Tuo Great Spirit Arena for actual combat training, to improve your teamwork.

Feng Xiaotian's grandfather, Senior Feng Lieyang, will personally lead the team.

Senior Feng Lieyang has reached the Soul Douluo level and possesses formidable strength.

With him leading you, I can rest easy."

The three girls were delighted to hear this and finally set their minds at ease.

"With Senior Feng personally leading us, that's wonderful!"

Shui Yue'er clapped excitedly.

"Wow, we get to go to the Great Soul Arena! It must be so much fun there."

"Yue'er, that's a battle arena, not a place to fool around."

"I know, but I'm still really looking forward to it."

Meng Wanqing interrupted them.

"Alright, go back and prepare yourselves. In a few days, when Feng Xiaotian and the others arrive, you will head to Suotuo City together."

"Mm!"

Shui Bing'er smiled faintly, her heart stirring slightly.

Today had been her first time meeting Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian's performance at the Training Ground had truly shocked her.

Yet before they had exchanged more than a few words, Feng Xiaotian had left.

She had originally felt a little disappointed, but she had not expected that they would meet again so soon.

And they could even work together and take part in battle.

This gave her a chance to get to know Feng Xiaotian better.

The happiest of all was the lovestruck girl, Shui Yue'er.

Being able to take part in more actual combat training and get close to Feng Xiaotian through it was far better than staying at the academy for dull, tedious training.

After Feng Xiaotian returned home, he told his grandfather everything that had happened at Skywater Academy.

Feng Lieyang was overjoyed to hear it. He immediately agreed to Feng Xiaotian's request and prepared to accompany him to the Suo Tuo City Great Soul Arena.
