Phoenix of Blazing Fire!

"The Host wanted to sign in with Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, Qian Renxue, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others. You had to establish a connection with them."

"This connection could be that of brothers, siblings, enemies, lovers..."

"Only when you truly acknowledged the relationship between you in your heart could the system confirm a successful sign-in!"

"All right!"

Su Yu looked over the items in the system space.

Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings—these were the rewards for signing in with Ning Fengzhi.

A Hundred Thousand Year Ancient Dragon Right Arm Bone—this was what he had received for signing in with Bone Douluo.

However, he did not plan to absorb this Soul Bone for the time being. There might be a better one in the future.

The other items were what he had received from signing in with Li Yusong, Zhao Wuji, and Flender today.

The morning mist had yet to disperse, carrying the damp scent of Grass and Trees.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, and Ning Rongrong had just stepped out of the dormitory when they saw Su Yu leaning casually against a signpost not far away.

The morning light outlined his tall, upright figure.

"Older brother!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. The discomfort in her back from yesterday had long since vanished, and she called out happily.

She ran a few steps behind Su Yu, then sprang lightly upward, wrapping both arms around his neck and hanging from his back.

Su Yu steadily supported the backs of her knees, smiling with helpless indulgence.

"You've only just woken up and you're already misbehaving. Be careful not to fall."

"I won't!"

Ning Rongrong rested her chin on his shoulder and turned her head toward Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing, who had caught up, sticking out her tongue at them.

Xiao Wu waved with a smile. "Morning, Brother Su Yu! Are you waiting to go have breakfast with us?"

Su Yu nodded and lightly patted Ning Rongrong's leg.

"Get down. Stop clinging to me all the time."

But Ning Rongrong tightened her arms around him stubbornly. "No! I want to stay up here!"

Zhu Qing stood to one side, a fleeting trace of barely noticeable envy passing through her Ink Black eyes.

Watching Su Yu indulge Ning Rongrong so much, her fingertips curled slightly—she had never experienced such uninhibited intimacy.

Xiao Wu, however, did not have so many thoughts. She ran behind Ning Rongrong in a few steps and lightly smacked her butt, quick and gentle.

"Ah!"

Ning Rongrong jumped in fright and wriggled on Su Yu's back. She turned around to glare at Xiao Wu, her cheeks flushing faintly.

"Sister Xiao Wu, you're bullying me!"

"Hmph, I am bullying you. Who told you to flaunt your affection in front of us?"

Xiao Wu raised her chin and lifted her hand again, lightly patting Ning Rongrong's butt once more.

Feeling the featherlight smack, Ning Rongrong quickly tightened both legs around Su Yu's waist and cried out like a startled kitten.

"Older brother, run! Sister Xiao Wu is going to bully me again!"

Su Yu chuckled, adjusted the person on his back, and began running with Light Footsteps.

He was not moving very fast, deliberately indulging them as though he were playing along with their antics.

The morning breeze lifted the hem of his clothes, carrying the fresh aura unique to a Youth.

"Don't run!"

Seeing this, Xiao Wu went Bouncing Around after them, her skirt fluttering into a lovely arc as she ran, her crisp laughter scattering across the morning path.

Zhu Qing stood where she was for a moment. Looking at the figures ahead chasing and playing, a trace of warmth entered her Ink Black eyes, and she stepped forward to follow them.

After the group left the cafeteria, they had not gone far when they saw a young man and a young girl tugging at each other up ahead.

"Hongjun, let go! It's over between us!"

"Cuihua, no! Tell me why!"

"Hongjun, you do it too often. I can't take it anymore!"

"No, I don't agree! Unless we do it one more time!"

Seeing this, Xiao Wu walked over and looked accusingly at Ma Hongjun. "Hey, fatty! She already said she wants to break up with you, so why are you still shamelessly pestering her?"

"Oh? Whose little sister is this? You're so lovely. What, do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Ma Hongjun released Cuihua's hand and stared at Xiao Wu with a lecherous expression.

Seeing this, Cuihua turned and ran toward the village behind them.

"Pah! Who wants to be your girlfriend? Take a look at yourself—you're so fat. I'd never like you!"

"Hmph, what does it matter how fat I am? Now that my girlfriend has run off, you have to compensate me with one!"

After saying that, Ma Hongjun looked helplessly at Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Qing.

As though he had thought of something, he licked his lips and said, "Or one of the two little sisters behind you can stay and be my girlfriend instead!"

Looking at Ma Hongjun's shameless and sleazy appearance, Xiao Wu did not know what to say and could only snap, "Do you have any sense at all?"

"Hmph, you scared my girlfriend away, so you owe me one. Isn't that only natural?"

"Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

With that, Xiao Wu stomped her little foot hard against the ground and directly activated Martial Soul Possession. The phantom of a Soft Bone Rabbit appeared behind her.

"Oh? You're a Soul Master too! Fine, we'll settle this by the rules between Soul Masters today!"

"Evil Fire Phoenix! Martial Soul Possession!"

A phoenix cry rang out behind Ma Hongjun, and the phantom of a fire phoenix appeared behind him.

Ma Hongjun was simply too fat, though. He looked less like a phoenix and more like an oversized chicken!

"How is that a phoenix? It's clearly just a chicken!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's mockery, Ma Hongjun's already foul mood worsened.

He glared fiercely at Xiao Wu and said, one word at a time, "Don't. Call. Me. A. Chicken!"

"First Spirit Skill: Phoenix Fireline!"

Ma Hongjun's first Soul Ring swayed behind him.

Immediately afterward, his Phoenix Martial Soul let out a fierce cry.

Ma Hongjun opened his mouth toward Xiao Wu in the distance and spat out a scorching stream of flame.

Xiao Wu dodged repeatedly. This guy had no honor, launching a sneak attack without warning.

For a time, Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames left Xiao Wu in a rather sorry state, and even the shoes on her feet caught fire.

Seeing Xiao Wu's disheveled appearance, Ma Hongjun looked at her smugly.

"Hmph, do you still dare call me a chicken?"

Kicking off her burning shoes, Xiao Wu glared at Ma Hongjun furiously.

"Chicken, chicken, chicken! You're a chicken!"

Seeing that the girl was still mocking him, Ma Hongjun could no longer endure it.

"Second Spirit Skill: Phoenix Bathed in Fire!"

As the Evil Fire Phoenix behind Ma Hongjun let out a phoenix cry, a phoenix formed from fire elements appeared before everyone.

However, this phoenix looked rather small. It really did resemble a chicken!

Looking at the chicken-like spirit skill, Xiao Wu burst out laughing.

"You still say you're not a chicken? Isn't that just a chicken?"

Ma Hongjun's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Hmph, I'll open your eyes, little girl!"

Ma Hongjun snapped his fingers, and the chicken made of fire elements exploded, violent fire elements spreading in every direction.

A second before the explosion, Su Yu arrived at Xiao Wu's side and pulled her away.
