"."
Hearing those words, Danheng felt as though he had glimpsed a white-haired little girl and a big robot in a daze.
"Mister Danheng, please help me!"
"All right, shut up first."
Danheng raised a hand to signal Feng Xiaotian to stop talking. If he kept going, Danheng was about to break character.
"It's not impossible to help you. I still have the corpses of two soul beasts, both ten-thousand-year ones. Would you help me take them off my hands?"
"Or you can help find someone else to take them."
The corpses of that Yin Candle Python and Moonshadow Direwolf were still with him. If he could dispose of them through this opportunity, it would save him a whole lot of trouble later.
"Two more? Both ten-thousand-year soul beasts?"
Feng Xiaotian was somewhat dumbfounded. Could Mister Danheng have killed two soul beasts even stronger than that Stormwind Bear?
"Mm. One was seventy thousand years old, and one was forty thousand years old. But the forty-thousand-year one... mm."
Danheng paused. He felt that perhaps he should not sell the Yin Candle Python after all.
He had chopped it into who knew how many pieces. It would be difficult even to put it back together. How was anyone supposed to take that?
"Let's just sell the seventy-thousand-year one. The forty-thousand-year one's corpse was rather badly damaged."
"Sir, you should discuss this with the Dean personally. I can't make this decision directly..."
Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
A powerhouse capable of killing a seventy-thousand-year soul beast—if he could guide Feng Xiaotian, he did not dare imagine how incredible that would feel!
"Mm. After I speak with your Dean, if you can help me deal with that corpse, I'll give you some guidance."
This kid was not bad, and it was Danheng's first time seeing someone capable of creating a Self-Created Soul Skill. He might as well see what it was like!
"Really? I love you, Mister Danheng!"
Feng Xiaotian suddenly let out such a howl that he drew everyone's attention.
Seeing that they were two handsome men, the crowd's gazes naturally lingered for a while.
Especially since Feng Xiaotian was a well-known figure in Godwind City, it was hard for everyone to suppress their gossiping hearts.
"...That really isn't necessary. Let's go first."
Danheng noticed that the looks around them seemed somewhat off and hurriedly took Feng Xiaotian away.
"Don't worry, Mister Danheng. I'll definitely strongly recommend to the Dean that he take your soul beast corpse!"
"I just wonder what kind of seventy-thousand-year soul beast it is?"
After his excitement faded, Feng Xiaotian calmed down as well. If the seventy-thousand-year soul beast's attributes were unsuitable, then even if the academy took it, they would most likely have to find someone else to handle it.
"A seventy-thousand-year Moonshadow Direwolf."
"Moonshadow Direwolf?"
Upon hearing the soul beast's name, Feng Xiaotian's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he fell into a daze.
Danheng had said earlier that the seventy-thousand-year soul beast's corpse was relatively well preserved, but a soul beast like the Moonshadow Direwolf... could Mister Danheng have dealt with it in just a few moves as well?
"Cough, cough, cough! You're saying Mister Danheng wants to dispose of the corpse of a seventy-thousand-year Moonshadow Direwolf too?"
Inside the office, after hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Shenfeng Dean nearly sprayed his tea all over Feng Xiaotian.
A seventy-thousand-year Moonshadow Direwolf—someone who could kill one and preserve its corpse properly...
Would they lack money?
Shenfeng Dean had already noticed that Danheng seemed a little poor. But at the time, he only knew that Danheng could easily kill a twenty-thousand-year Stormwind Bear, so he thought that perhaps Danheng was a talented independent soul master.
But now Feng Xiaotian was telling him that Danheng could even kill a seventy-thousand-year Moonshadow Direwolf?
Those were completely different concepts!
"Yes, Dean, but there's another reason for this."
Feng Xiaotian pulled over a chair and sat before the Dean, then told him about asking Danheng to guide him with his Self-Created Soul Skill.
"Sigh, Xiaotian, being able to create a Soul Skill is a good thing, but look at yourself lately. You've been thinking about creating Soul Skills all day and have delayed your cultivation."
"I can't help it, Dean. I want to improve so badly!"
Seeing Feng Xiaotian's earnest expression, the Dean was utterly helpless.
"Sigh, don't worry, Xiaotian. The academy will take the Moonshadow Direwolf's corpse."
Though this fellow was severely lovestruck, a little dim-witted in what he did, and occasionally rather frivolous, he was still the Dean's most prized student.
"Dean!"
Feng Xiaotian bowed deeply to the Dean.
"All right, all right. You're acting as though you're saying goodbye to a corpse."
The Dean waved his hand. With Feng Xiaotian acting like this, anyone unaware of the situation would think he had died suddenly!
"Thank you, Dean! I'll go find Mister Danheng!"
Feng Xiaotian arrived outside Danheng's room and knocked softly on the door, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
"Mister Danheng went out again? Does he really like strolling around that much?"
Feng Xiaotian was not in a hurry. Danheng could guide him whenever he had time.
For now, he would go find Sister Huo Wu!
But when Feng Xiaotian arrived where the Chihuo Academy group was resting, he discovered that Danheng was there too.
"Eh? Mister Danheng, what are you all..."
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed somewhat delicate, Feng Xiaotian asked tentatively.
"Oh? Perfect timing. Let's go. I'll guide you now."
When Danheng saw Feng Xiaotian arrive, his expression relaxed somewhat, and he immediately suggested leaving.
Though Feng Xiaotian did not know what was going on, the moment he heard that Danheng would guide him, he followed at once, temporarily overlooking Huo Wu beside him.
"Hey! Feng Xiaotian!"
Hearing Huo Wu's voice, Feng Xiaotian abruptly turned back. There was not a trace of joy in his eyes, only an overwhelming desire to become stronger.
"Y-you're going to cultivate?"
It was Huo Wu's first time seeing Feng Xiaotian show such an expression before her. It was completely different from his usual fawning and accommodating manner, so even her tone changed somewhat.
"Uh, yes, Sister Huo Wu. Sorry about today. I'll definitely keep you company another day."
Hearing that, Huo Wu froze for a moment. Feng Xiaotian was refusing her?
"I'm leaving first, Sister Huo Wu. At this Academy Exchange Tournament, I'll definitely give you a surprise!"
With that, Feng Xiaotian directly activated his martial soul and went after Danheng, leaving the Chihuo Academy group standing there in confusion.
"Sister Huo Wu, what's wrong with Feng Xiaotian?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Huo Wu snapped at the person irritably, but she had the same question in her heart.
Could this person named Danheng actually be more attractive to Feng Xiaotian than she was?
Could Feng Xiaotian possibly be...
Impossible. That guy might be a little dumb, but his sexual orientation had to be normal.
"A surprise for me? Then I'll have to see it for myself."
Huo Wu murmured softly, somewhat curious about the surprise Feng Xiaotian had mentioned.
Among the group, only Huo Wushuang frowned deeply, his expression somewhat grave.
He knew very clearly what Feng Xiaotian's words meant. Feng Xiaotian's strength was absolutely among the very best of the Five Element Academies.
If Feng Xiaotian went all out, Chihuo Academy might suffer defeat in this Academy Exchange Tournament.
But like Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang was also extremely curious about this person named Danheng.
A man who was even more attractive than his own sister?
