Firmly in Control

Firmly in Control

In terms of talent alone, Huo Wu was no less gifted than Feng Xiaotian.

Though only eighteen, her Soul Power was two levels higher than her brother's, already reaching level 41.

Moreover, she was a Control System Soul Master and the core figure of the Blazing Fire Academy team.

Her Beast Soul was Fire Shadow, a shadow based on her own body. It was extraordinarily unique and allowed her to maximize the power of the Fire Element.

In addition, she possessed a special innate skill: Ring Fusion.

It allowed her to instantly release all the Soul Power unleashed by several of her soul ring skills at once, maximizing her Soul Power output. Its explosive force was incredibly strong, and its power multiplied.

It was precisely because of such talent that Huo Wu had been spoiled by everyone since childhood. She was exceptionally proud, competitive, and unable to accept defeat.

Naturally, Feng Xiaotian knew all this.

However, he was confident that he could control the blazing fire Huo Wu unleashed.

Huo Wu smiled confidently and directly activated her strongest soul skill.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Huo Wu Blazing Sun!"

In an instant.

Flames gathered in Huo Wu's hands before condensing into an enormous ball of fire above her head.

The fireball could lock onto its opponent, flew at high speed, and possessed immense power.

Huo Wu launched it at Feng Xiaotian.

At the same time, Feng Xiaotian was ready as well.

"Tornado Storm!"

At once, a raging Tornado engulfed the fireball, and waves of light shot into the sky.

The flames and wind were far more violent than before.

Huo Wu was greatly surprised.

The Soul Power she had injected was already incredibly strong, and she had tried to use fire to control the wind's direction.

Yet the storm controlled by Feng Xiaotian still held the dominant position.

Feng Xiaotian possessed a Ten Thousand Year Black Ring, and with the support of the Nine Yang Divine Skill Internal Cultivation Method, his Soul Power was superior.

The storm and blazing flames fused into one, firmly under Feng Xiaotian's control.

Within the Blazing Fire Academy team, Huo Wu had always been the one controlling the entire team.

This time, however, she experienced what it felt like to be controlled.

Though she felt somewhat unwilling inside.

Under the pressure of Feng Xiaotian's powerful battlefield control, she accepted her defeat wholeheartedly.

Everyone watching was stunned by what happened on the field.

The teachers upstairs were dumbfounded as well.

"That girl is so young, yet so extraordinarily talented. She can actually unleash such ferocious blazing flames."

"She truly is a rare genius, but Feng Xiaotian is still superior. With wind and fire fused together, the Wind Element has remained dominant throughout."

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

On the Training Ground.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu both withdrew their powers.

Huo Wushuang ran over, filled with excitement.

"Brother Tian, your Self-Created Soul Skill is incredible. It combines perfectly with Huo Wu's blazing flames, and it's even more powerful than before."

"It isn't merely a Self-Created Soul Skill. In truth, I've already gained some understanding of the Art of Wind Control."

The siblings were stunned once more.

Feng Xiaotian had changed far too much. Only now did he truly live up to the title of a genius Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power.

Feng Xiaotian smiled.

"Today was our first time working together, so we haven't brought out its true strength yet. Once we cooperate more often and gain more real combat experience, we'll develop even better coordination."

"Brother Tian is right! I wonder what kind of power your storm will produce if it fuses with water or ice."

"We'll find out once we go to Skywater Academy."

"Brother Tian, when are we going?"

Huo Wu became a little annoyed and kicked her brother.

"Are you in such a hurry to go to Skywater Academy just to see those pretty girls?"

"Come on, don't you want to go too?"

"Humph!"

Huo Wu wanted to see exactly what kind of girl had such charm that she had stolen Feng Xiaotian, who had secretly loved her for five years.

"Feng Xiaotian, tell me. What exactly is that Shui Bing'er you want to find like?"

"Actually, I haven't met her either. But I know she's about the same age as you—gentle, kind, exceptionally intelligent, and blessed with both beauty and strength."

Hearing this, Huo Wu became even angrier.

Feng Xiaotian had actually praised another girl right in front of her.

"So you mean I'm not gentle, not kind, and not pretty?"

Feng Xiaotian shook his head helplessly.

Girls always liked to make a fuss and be unreasonable, especially proud young ladies like Huo Wu.

"I never compared her to you. She is herself, and you are yourself."

"You haven't even met her, so how do you know so much about her? Did you secretly investigate her?"

The more Huo Wu thought about it, the angrier she became.

Although Feng Xiaotian had nothing to do with her, the feeling of being inferior to someone else was truly unpleasant.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. We're going to Skywater Academy this time to handle serious business."

"When are we going?"

"It's getting late today. Tomorrow."

As the three chatted, Feng Lieyang walked over.

Feng Xiaotian introduced them.

"This is my grandfather, the chief instructor of Godwind Academy."

"Grandpa, these two are my friends, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, from Blazing Fire Academy."

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu respectfully greeted him.

"Hello, Grandpa Feng!"

Feng Lieyang was delighted.

"Hello. So you're Huo Wu. Xiaotian has mentioned you to me before. Like father, like children—no wonder the two of you are so outstanding."

Huo Wu secretly glanced at Feng Xiaotian, feeling a little pleased.

"Grandpa Feng, do you know my Father?"

"Hehe, your Father is Huo Tianhong, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy. We've known each other for many years."

"I see."

Feng Lieyang looked at Feng Xiaotian and instructed him.

"Xiaotian, take the two of them around for a look. Come back later and have dinner together."

"Grandpa Feng, you're too kind."

"You're Xiaotian's friends, so there's no need to stand on ceremony. Haha."

After saying that, Feng Lieyang left.

Seeing that the siblings seemed somewhat at a loss, Feng Xiaotian said, "There's no need to feel restrained. From the looks of it, Grandpa may even ask the two of you to stay the night after dinner."

Huo Wushuang scratched his head.

"That would be too much trouble."

"It's no trouble. There are only Grandpa and me at home anyway. Come on, I'll show you around."

Like Blazing Fire Academy, Godwind Academy had very few girls. The overwhelming majority of its students were boys.

Huo Wu was beautiful, so she became the center of attention wherever she went.

Quite a few people even discussed whether she was Feng Xiaotian's girlfriend.

That gave her vanity a small measure of satisfaction.

After school, Feng Xiaotian brought the siblings back home.

Feng Lieyang had prepared a lavish dinner to entertain them.

The dinner was enjoyable.

That night, Feng Lieyang came to Feng Xiaotian's room.

"Xiaotian, have you arranged everything for the two of them?"

"Mm."

"That girl Huo Wu is quite good. It looks like she likes you a little. Why are you being so lukewarm toward her?"

"No, I'm not."

"Grandpa may be old, but I'm not blind. You two had a quarrel, didn't you?"

"Grandpa, we're just ordinary friends. It's not what you think."

Feng Lieyang waved his hand and chuckled.

"You young people should settle your own matters. By the way, what was that new soul skill you created called again? You really stole the show today. Dean Lin, several teachers, and I were all watching upstairs."

"Grandpa, after several days of deep thought, I gained some understanding of the Art of Wind Control. That soul skill is called Tornado Storm. With wind as its core, it can fuse other elements into it and unleash even greater power."
