Wind Blade Tornado, Huo Wu's Change

"Godwind Team, Feng Xiaotian, martial soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, level forty-four Soul Ancestor."

"Please enlighten me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaotian's Second Soul Ring and Fourth Soul Ring lit up almost simultaneously!

"Second Soul Skill, Twin Wolf Possession!"

His speed, attack, and defense instantly surged by fifty percent.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Wind Blade Tornado!"

His Fourth Soul Skill was completely different from before. It was a large-area group attack Soul Skill.

"Awoo— Awoo—"

The phantom of the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf behind Feng Xiaotian suddenly swelled, its two heads howling in unison as violent Wind element energy frantically gathered around him!

The entire Arena was instantly engulfed by a raging hurricane, countless sharp wind blades flickering in and out of view within the cyclone.

The expressions of Blazing Fire Academy's seven members changed drastically. Huo Wushuang roared, "Not good! Defend with everything you have!"

Soul Power immediately surged through the Blazing Fire Academy team, flames blazing brightly as all kinds of Amplification Soul Skills and defensive Soul Skills were unleashed!

However, before Feng Xiaotian's Fourth Soul Skill, enhanced by his Second Soul Skill, the defenses of several Soul Elders were utterly fragile.

Feng Xiaotian suddenly thrust both palms forward.

The violent hurricane instantly turned into a massive tornado several meters wide, sweeping toward the Blazing Fire Team with overwhelming force!

"Boom—"

The seven members of Blazing Fire Academy were sent flying by the unstoppable force before they could even cry out!

Seven figures flew through the air like kites with severed strings, tracing seven arcs before landing beyond the Arena.

Each of them bore dozens of tiny wounds sliced open by wind blades, blood seeping through their fiery-red uniforms.

Their injuries were not severe. Feng Xiaotian had held back at the last moment.

Otherwise, with power approaching that of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, those wind blades would have been enough to seriously injure them.

The entire Skywater Great Soul Arena fell into dead silence.

Everyone stood with mouths agape and eyes wide, staring at the lone azure figure still standing on the Arena.

One move!

Just one move!

Feng Xiaotian, at the peak of level forty-four and possessing a Fourth Soul Ring close to Ten-Thousand-Year level.

By himself, he had instantly defeated every member of Blazing Fire Academy!

"Th-the first match, Godwind Academy wins!"

The Referee finally snapped out of his immense shock and announced loudly.

Only then did the crowd come back to their senses, erupting into an uproar.

"My god, when did our captain become a Soul Ancestor?"

"And how did the captain get that Fourth Soul Ring?!"

"The captain actually didn't go easy on them this time?"

"Why do I feel like the captain has changed?"

The members of the Godwind Team looked at one another, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Sister, he... he's so strong now!"

Shui Yue'er's red lips parted in shock.

"Feng Xiaotian actually... hid himself this deeply." Shui Bing'er gazed at the Arena. "But... how did he break through so quickly?"

"My god, Feng Xiaotian isn't simping for Huo Wu anymore?"

"In such a short time, he improved so much? How did he do it?"

The other team members also discussed it quietly.

"You, hurry back and report this to my Grandfather."

Huyan Li's previous arrogance had completely vanished, replaced by a grave expression.

This matter was of great importance and had to be reported back to the sect as soon as possible.

"Yes, Captain."

Feng Xiaotian ignored everyone, withdrew his martial soul, and calmly swept his gaze over the crowd before finally settling on Huo Wu beneath the Arena.

The members of Blazing Fire Academy had already gotten back on their feet.

Huo Wu stared blankly at him, her eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing Huo Wu covered in wounds, Feng Xiaotian felt as if someone had fiercely clenched his heart, a sharp pain stabbing through him.

He nearly lost control and rushed forward, just as he had done countless times in the past, hurrying to her side at the first possible moment.

His foot had even unconsciously taken half a step forward.

But in that instant, Ji Xuan's words came to mind, instantly clearing his head.

He could not disappoint the Holy Son's expectations.

Feng Xiaotian withdrew his foot, took a deep breath, and forcibly buried his heartache and reluctance deep within himself.

He forced himself to look away, turned, and walked off the Arena without sparing another glance at the figure who stirred every one of his emotions.

Huo Wu watched Feng Xiaotian's departing back, opening her mouth but unable to say a single word.

The wounds on her body still throbbed faintly, but what she found even harder to endure was the inexplicable panic rising in her heart.

She looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

She suddenly realized that Feng Xiaotian, who had always revolved around her, might truly be gone.

Yet strangely, an unprecedented flutter rose in her heart at that moment.

The humble, fawning Feng Xiaotian had always made her dismiss him with contempt, but this calm and powerful Feng Xiaotian before her made it impossible for her to look away.

At this moment, Huo Wu's feelings toward Feng Xiaotian began to quietly change.

From her initial impatience, to the shock of being defeated, and then to the curiosity and admiration she felt now.

"Feng Xiaotian." She murmured softly, an unusual light gleaming in her eyes. "I will find out exactly what you have been through."

"Let's go."

A complicated look flashed through Huo Wushuang's eyes as he stepped forward to support Huo Wu.

Huo Wu let her brother support her, but her gaze continued to follow Feng Xiaotian's retreating back on its own.

Only after Huo Wushuang led her out of the Fighting Arena did she dazedly pull back her gaze.

Feng Xiaotian had shown mercy, so their injuries were not serious. If they found a healing Soul Master now, they would recover quickly.

Godwind Academy's area.

The corner of Ji Xuan's mouth curved into a faint smile.

Looking at the transformed Feng Xiaotian before him, satisfaction flashed through his eyes.

This was what he wanted to see—a truly awakened genius!

"Let's go," Ji Xuan said calmly.

The second round would be held in the afternoon. It was nearly noon now, so they would have lunch and rest for a while before returning.

Feng Xiaotian respectfully followed behind Ji Xuan, while Golden Crocodile Douluo remained draped in his cloak and followed in silence.

The other team members eagerly chose to eat at Skywater Academy's cafeteria.

Skywater Academy's cafeteria had plenty of beautiful female Students to admire.

Ordinarily, they would never have the chance to enter this women's academy.

Naturally, they had to seize the opportunity. Perhaps they might even have a wonderful encounter.

After the three of them left Skywater Academy, they went to a rather famous restaurant nearby.

Inside a private room.

"Xiaotian, well done!" Ji Xuan took a sip of tea. "That Miss Huo Wu's gaze has already changed. I imagine it won't be long before she comes looking for you on her own."

"It was all thanks to Your Highness's guidance. If not for Your Highness, Xiaotian would still be wasting his efforts trying to please her."

At the thought that Huo Wu might take the initiative to seek him out, Feng Xiaotian could not help but feel his heart race.

Ji Xuan gently swirled his teacup, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Xiaotian, remember this: true powerhouses do not need to grovel."

"The strength you have displayed now is what can move her the most."

"If Huo Wu comes to you of her own accord later, you must also keep your measure."

"You must never be like before, placing all your thoughts on her."

"This Subordinate understands." Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath. "I will never disappoint Your Highness's expectations."
