Hurricane Canyon

Hurricane Canyon was a training ground for Godwind Academy students, but what most people did not know was that its depths were also a place of opportunity for Soul Masters with the Wind Attribute.

Every Soul Master who emerged from it had gained tremendous benefits. Back then, Feng Qingcang had obtained a special herb within and, after consuming it, become the Peak Soul Saint of Level 79 he was today.

Yet great opportunities were often accompanied by risks. Though the depths of Hurricane Canyon were not like the City of Slaughter, where only a few people had emerged since ancient times, they were no less dangerous.

Most who entered became lost within. People like Feng Qingcang, who could find their way back out, were few.

That was also why Feng Qingcang had not widely publicized Hurricane Canyon's secret.

Feng Qingcang paced back and forth, saying anxiously, "The tournament is about to begin. Why hasn't that brat Xiaotian come out yet? Don't tell me he ran into danger?"

After a while longer, Feng Qingcang gritted his teeth, stared at the entrance to Hurricane Canyon, and made up his mind.

Once he entered, he might become trapped inside. But Feng Xiaotian was his most prized disciple. After all these years together, they had long become like father and son. He could not watch Feng Xiaotian vanish within Hurricane Canyon.

Even if Feng Xiaotian had died, he had to see his corpse with his own eyes.

However, just as Feng Qingcang took a step forward, preparing to enter the depths of Hurricane Canyon in search of Feng Xiaotian, a familiar figure emerged from the endless gale and slowly walked out.

Before long, the figure entered Feng Qingcang's sight. It was Feng Xiaotian.

Though Feng Xiaotian's clothes were tattered and his whole appearance was rather disheveled, his eyes had become brighter, and even his aura had undergone a noticeable change.

Seeing the transformed Feng Xiaotian before him, Feng Qingcang's eyes lit up. This meant Feng Xiaotian had definitely found an opportunity inside, and a considerable one at that.

Feng Qingcang then smiled and patted Feng Xiaotian on the shoulder. "Good, very good. It seems your decision was indeed the right one. Your gains this time should be substantial, shouldn't they?"

"Gains? The gains this time were indeed enormous!"

Feng Xiaotian replied with a smile.

Then Feng Xiaotian suddenly asked, "By the way, Dean, how many days are left until the Finals begin?"

Everything within Hurricane Canyon was madness. Feng Xiaotian could not even sense the passage of time and could only vaguely feel that it should be about time.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingcang immediately came back to his senses, his expression turning solemn.

"The situation is dire. There is only one day left before the Finals begin. We must set off immediately, or we won't make it in time!"

Hearing that, Feng Xiaotian's smile faded. He nodded. "All right, let's go!"

The next day, Spirit City.

Before the Pope's Palace.

"Bang!"

As Shui Wuchen defeated the last opponent, Skywater Academy secured victory in this match.

"Beautifully done! It looks like the championship this time is ours, Skywater Academy's."

After Shui Wuchen stepped down from the arena, Shui Yueruo patted him on the shoulder. She was clearly extremely pleased with herself, looking as though her nose was about to rise into the sky.

Skywater Academy had taken first place in the Heaven Dou Empire's Promotion Tournament, which meant they could receive a bye in the second round and prepare directly for the third.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er removed Shui Yueruo's hand from Shui Wuchen's shoulder, covering her face helplessly. "Dean, watch your image."

"Ahem, ahem..."

Hearing that, Shui Yueruo realized that she seemed to have gotten a little too carried away. She immediately coughed twice and resumed her usual appearance as a mature beauty.

Still, she grumbled inwardly, It's been so many years since Skywater Academy last won the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. What's wrong with being happy for a moment?

At the same time, three figures in the spectator stands were also observing Shui Wuchen and the others.

"Brother, what do you think of this Shui Wuchen?"

A woman in her early twenties, with an almost perfect figure and a seductive aura, asked the tall, handsome man beside her.

Xie Yue shook his head and said, "His opponent was too weak. You can't tell anything from the previous battle. But if the intelligence is true and he really is a powerful Soul Emperor, then we probably aren't his match."

"Hmph! So what if he really is a Soul Emperor? With your Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it's not as if you haven't defeated Soul Emperors before."

Yan snorted and curled his lip.

Yan was not making things up. Xie Yue and Hu Liena had indeed once used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to defeat a Level 68 Soul Emperor instructor from Spirit Hall.

In Yan's view, even if Shui Wuchen was a Soul Emperor, could he possibly be stronger than that Level 68 Soul Emperor instructor?

And even if Shui Wuchen was stronger than that instructor, they had also improved greatly compared to before. Shui Wuchen might not necessarily be able to defeat them.

Once Shui Wuchen lost, wouldn't Skywater Academy's bunch of nobodies be at their mercy?

Besides, Yan simply did not believe Shui Wuchen possessed the cultivation of a Soul Emperor.

Feng Xiaotian had Innate Full Soul Power, so it was understandable for him to become a Soul Emperor at twenty-four. But Shui Wuchen was not even seventeen yet. What right did he have to break through to Soul Emperor?

"Oh my, Yan, aren't you full of yourself?"

Hu Liena licked her finger, her gaze settling on Yan as she teased, "How about you go challenge him one-on-one? If you win, I'll agree to date you. How about that?"

"Really?"

Yan's eyes lit up at once. He had pursued Hu Liena for a long time, but she had never given him a chance. Now that she was actually saying she would agree to date him, how could he not be excited?

"Of course it's true."

Hu Liena froze for a moment, then nodded, squinting her fox-like eyes as she replied.

"Fine, I'll give him a try!"

With that, Yan immediately vaulted over the wall and charged toward Shui Wuchen.

Seeing this, Xie Yue shook his head and looked at Hu Liena helplessly. "Yan is our friend, after all. Don't toy with him like that."

"I'm not toying with him."

Hu Liena covered her mouth and said, "If he can truly defeat Shui Wuchen one-on-one, then what would be wrong with being with him?"

"But you know that's impossible. According to the information His Holiness gave us, Shui Wuchen is not only a Soul Emperor, but an exceptionally powerful one. Yan can't be his opponent alone."

Xie Yue had a headache. His younger sister was good in every way, except that she rather liked teasing people.

Hu Liena shrugged. "Then it has nothing to do with me. Yan read the information too. What can I do if he refuses to believe it?"
