Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er's attitudes gave Huo Wu much to think about.

They came from three different academies and were both friends and rivals.

The two-person combination of Huo Wu and her brother, Huo Wushuang, could improve their coordination in actual combat and strengthen Blazing Fire Academy's overall power.

Skywater Academy was one of their opponents. Xue Wu rarely participated in one-on-one matches, but she still needed training, so it was only natural for Shui Bing'er to have such an idea.

Feng Xiaotian's intentions were clear. Ignoring records and points, he only wanted to test the coordination between different combinations in order to improve the new team's overall strength.

Among them, only Feng Xiaotian knew how terrifying the Spirit Hall Team truly was.

If Tang San had not poisoned them using Tang Sect Hidden Weapons techniques, the Shrek Seven Devils would have been utterly crushed by Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Feng Xiaotian wanted to defeat the Spirit Hall Team fair and square, so he had to find a way to improve the team's overall strength.

They needed to blend not only water, but fire as well. It would be best if they could reach the level of perfection; only then would they have a greater chance of winning.

Originally, Huo Wu had thought Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er's two-person team would continue until the training ended.

Now, it seemed she also had a chance to team up with Feng Xiaotian.

Shui Bing'er patted Huo Wu on the shoulder.

"What are you thinking about? Xiao Luo is calling for you. It's almost your turn."

Only then did Huo Wu snap back to her senses.

"Oh, then let's go."

Shui Bing'er linked arms with Huo Wu and encouraged her as they walked.

"You're the first among us to go on. Good luck. I believe in you—we'll be waiting for your good news."

"Mm, thank you!"

Shui Bing'er was gentle and kind, beautiful and capable—the ideal girlfriend in the eyes of most boys.

Feeling Shui Bing'er's goodwill, Huo Wu felt somewhat guilty. She had previously treated her as a love rival, envying and resenting her. That had been rather petty of her.

Everyone arrived at the Soul Fighting area.

Huo Wu was about to take the stage.

Feng Xiaotian and the others watched from the Soul Master stands.

The host introduced them.

"Next will be the first one-on-one Soul Fighting match in our Tenth Soul Fighting Arena. The contestants are two Soul Ancestor-level Soul Masters!

"They are Huo Wu, a Battle Soul Sect with the Beast Soul Fire Shadow, and Liu Gang, a Battle Soul Sect with the Beast Soul Great Ape.

"Liu Gang has already won three matches in a row, while this is Huo Wu's first appearance. Who will claim victory tonight? The match begins now."

Soon after, a burly man stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform.

He stood nearly two meters tall, a muscular beast of a man. One look was enough to tell that he was a Power Type Soul Master.

Xiao Luo said softly, "That guy is huge. He looks really strong. I wonder if Sister Huo Wu can beat him."

Huo Wushuang smiled calmly. He understood Huo Wu's strength better than anyone.

"Just wait and see. Huo Wu isn't afraid of Power Type Soul Masters. Besides, she's still angry right now."

"Sister Huo Wu is angry? Who made her angry?"

Before Huo Wushuang could answer, the furious-looking Huo Wu had already leaped onto the platform.

The audience's attention was instantly drawn to this tall, curvaceous beauty.

Her fair face, delicate features, and long dark-red wavy hair falling to her waist made her as eye-catching as a blazing flame.

The previously deathly quiet stands instantly erupted with excitement.

The spectators began discussing among themselves.

"How old is that girl?"

"She doesn't look older than eighteen."

"Didn't the host just say she's a Battle Soul Sect? That can't be possible, can it?"

"Why does she look so angry? Was she forced onto the stage?"

Huo Wu looked like a girl who had been wronged, immediately earning the support of most of the audience.

Liu Gang was simple-minded and strong-limbed. Seeing that a pretty girl had taken the stage, his heart immediately softened.

"Little girl, what's wrong? Who made you angry? If you don't want to fight, hurry down. I don't want to hurt you."

Huo Wu frowned and snapped, "If you want to fight, then fight. What's with all this nonsense? Make your move already. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Startled, Liu Gang did not make the first move.

Huo Wu could no longer hold herself back. Her temper flared.

"A grown man acting so coy—what kind of behavior is that? Take this!"

Huo Wu revealed four Soul Rings, two yellow and two purple.

The audience was stunned at the sight.

Third Soul Skill, Resisting Fire Ring, activate.

A dazzling ring of flames erupted in an instant, spreading across the entire arena.

This skill could blast all opponents within the Resisting Fire Ring a certain distance away. The distance depended on the Soul Master's control ability.

Power Type Soul Masters all possessed formidable defensive abilities.

Seeing Huo Wu's Resisting Fire Ring rushing toward him, Liu Gang did not dodge.

He was confident that he could withstand the attack.

Unexpectedly, the Soul Fighting match ended the very next moment.

Liu Gang's body was struck by a powerful impact, and he was blasted off the platform, crashing to the ground.

Huo Wu withdrew her Soul Rings, a faintly wicked smile appearing on her face.

The entire Soul Fighting Arena fell silent, and the audience was deeply shocked.

The host was also left dumbfounded.

No one had expected the match to end so quickly.

The victor was actually that girl.

She had unleashed such astonishing power, defeating the muscular Liu Gang, who had won three consecutive matches, with a single move.

Liu Gang climbed to his feet, looking somewhat dazed.

"Wow, you're really amazing. I lost."

"I have a short temper. You weren't ready just now—do you want another match?"

"No! I concede!"

Liu Gang had already accepted reality.

The instant the Resisting Fire Ring struck him, he could tell that Huo Wu's Soul Power far surpassed his own.

She was a fire-type Soul Master, making her difficult enough to deal with already.

And Resisting Fire Ring was only her Third Soul Skill.

If she used her Fourth Soul Skill, it would probably be even harder to withstand.

"You're the strongest Female Soul Master I've ever seen among those our age. I hope you win several more matches in the contests ahead."

Liu Gang left after saying that.

From the Soul Master stands, Xiao Luo exclaimed, "Sister Huo Wu actually went head-to-head with that Power Type Soul Master and even won. She's seriously amazing! As expected, angry women are not to be trifled with."

Shui Yue'er nodded.

"It was Sister Huo Wu's first time on stage, yet she wasn't nervous at all. Her presence was overwhelming. That's something we should learn from."

Huo Wushuang smiled, satisfied with his sister's performance.

Suddenly, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.

Huo Wu became the center of attention.

Only then did the host come to his senses. He hurried onto the Soul Fighting Platform and loudly announced, "The match is over! Battle Soul Sect Huo Wu wins, with a record of one win and zero losses. Liu Gang's record is twelve wins and six losses."

After leaving the stage, Huo Wu passed by the Soul Master stands and exchanged high-fives with everyone.

"Sister Huo Wu, you're amazing!"

"That was a great performance. You gave us a good start. Keep it up in the next match!"

"Mm, I won't give up easily."

Moved by everyone's enthusiasm, Huo Wu was also filled with confidence for the upcoming two-on-two Soul Fighting match.

As the matches continued, Shui Yue'er grew increasingly nervous below the stage.
