Feng Xiaotian's Relentless Pursuit

The front plaza of the Skywater Sect.

Feng Xiaotian was currently trailing Huo Wu, not taking a single step away from her. Although he wore a black mask covering half his face, the smiling expression in his eyes was unmistakable.

Ever since the Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy had become affiliated with the Skywater Sect, the exchanges between the two academies had grown increasingly frequent, and Feng Xiaotian's pursuit of Huo Wu had become ever more blatant.

"Huo Wu, the Skywater Sect has just opened several ice-element training grounds in the front plaza. How about I accompany you there? It would be of great benefit to refining your fire control."

"No need."

Huo Wu did not stop her pace, her tone cold and indifferent.

"Yesterday, I discussed an excellent soul power technique with several elders from the Godwind Academy. I believe it would also provide a boost to your fire-control arts..."

"I said no!"

Huo Wu abruptly halted, her delicate brows furrowed tightly, feeling incredibly irritated by Feng Xiaotian's pestering.

She was naturally hot-tempered, and she found the endless entanglement of this masked man to be utterly infuriating.

"Huo Wu, can you stop shutting me out like this? My feelings for you are sincere. For your sake, I have even become the captain of the Godwind Academy team." Feng Xiaotian's face immediately turned miserable.

Huo Wu snorted coldly, crossing her arms over her chest: "Feng Xiaotian, how many times must I say it? I don't like you, so I don't like you. Can you stop pestering me every single day!"

Feng Xiaotian's heart felt as if it were shattering, his expression trembling. Huo Wu's words pierced his heart like knives: "Huo Wu, where exactly am I not good enough? Just tell me and I will change, won't that work? My devotion to you has never been less than anyone else's!"

Huo Wu clenched her fists instantly, her fiery temper surging to her head. How could this Feng Xiaotian be so thick-skinned that nothing could get through to him!

Just then, she looked up and saw Shui Bing'er walking across the front courtyard.

She possessed a peerless figure, and at this moment, she was holding the hand of a small boy, a rare, gentle smile gracing her face as she patiently answered every question the little one asked.

Glancing back at the persistent Feng Xiaotian beside her, a mocking smile curled the corner of her lips.

"Feng Xiaotian, don't you always claim your talent is outstanding and that you are the number one of the younger generation at Godwind Academy? Haven't you always wanted me to accept your pursuit?"

Feng Xiaotian was startled, then quickly straightened his expression: "That's right, Huo Wu, I am absolutely sincere!"

"Spare me that."

Huo Wu interrupted him directly, lifting her chin toward Shui Bing'er's direction. Her voice was not loud, yet it was clear enough for the surrounding Godwind and Blazing Fire students to hear: "Do you see her? That is the chief disciple of the Skywater Sect, Shui Bing'er."

Feng Xiaotian followed her gaze, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes.

Shui Bing'er was exceptionally talented and possessed a peerless grace; there was no one in the entire Elemental City who did not know of her.

In particular, it was recently rumored that the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan had forcibly broken into the Skywater Sect and caused massive destruction just because of her!

"If you have the ability, go and challenge her to a fair one-on-one duel."

Huo Wu's eyes flashed with competitiveness and playfulness: "If you can defeat Shui Bing'er, I, Huo Wu, will agree to be your girlfriend, and I will not go back on my word."

As soon as these words were spoken, many students from the Blazing Fire and Godwind academies nearby suddenly fell silent, turning their heads to look.

Shui Bing'er possessed the top-tier beast soul, the Ice Phoenix, with an innate soul power of level nine, and it was rumored that her strength had surged after her recent seclusion.

She was the number one combatant of the Skywater Sect's younger generation!

As for Feng Xiaotian, he was the strongest genius of the Godwind Academy, possessing innate full soul power, a deep understanding of soul power laws, and mastery over divine abilities. He had even recently created his own soul skill: the Twelve Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf!

Looking at it this way, if these two supreme prodigies were to clash, it would truly be a sight to behold!

"Is that a promise?"

Feng Xiaotian glanced at Shui Bing'er, then turned to stare at Huo Wu, his expression suddenly becoming excited.

Although Shui Bing'er was highly talented with peerless ice power and level nine innate soul power!

But so what?

He, Feng Xiaotian, possessed innate full soul power and had unique insights into the Dao; his talent was no weaker than this beautiful woman with skin like ice and bones like jade!

He had heard rumors that the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan coveted her, and he had long wanted to fight her!

Now that Huo Wu had made such a promise, wasn't this the best of both worlds!

"Of course it's a promise!"

Huo Wu nodded, lifting her charming chin.

If Feng Xiaotian didn't dare to accept the challenge, she would use this opportunity to make him retreat in the face of difficulty!

But if he could actually defeat Shui Bing'er, he would at least be the top prodigy of the Skywater Sect.

In that case, dating him wouldn't be entirely unreasonable!

"Fine, you said it yourself, Huo Wu!"

Feng Xiaotian was visibly excited: "If I defeat Shui Bing'er, you will be my girlfriend!"

If he won this battle, not only would he win the beauty, but he would also vindicate the Godwind Academy!

When the time came, he would walk hand-in-hand with his beloved Huo Wu and tell everyone that the disciples of their two academies were no worse than the main disciples of the Skywater Sect.

In the sunset glow, Li Jiuxuan and Shui Bing'er had battled for an entire day in the training chamber.

The harvest was bountiful!

Shui Yue'er had been exhausted to the point of collapse more than half a day ago.

She panted as she ran out of the Simulation Training Room, terrified of being dragged back by the two cultivation maniacs to continue the battle.

"I never expected Jiuxuan to be so formidable on his first try!" Shui Bing'er was exceptionally satisfied with this little younger brother.

The highest monster-slaying record in the training room was only a little over one thousand; he was at level twenty-two, and it was his first time entering the Simulation Training Room, yet he managed to rack up one thousand kills!

That's right, this little younger brother had increased his soul power by another level during today's training!

His cultivation speed was truly earth-shattering!

"After all, I am a Power Attack type, while you and the other sisters in the academy are mostly Control type soul masters."

Li Jiuxuan chuckled.

"Let's go, back to Calm Heart Lake. You're so tired today, I'll go cook for you," Shui Bing'er said with a gentle, doting smile.

"Sister, actually, I can just eat at the cafeteria," Li Jiuxuan said, scratching his head sheepishly.

To be honest, he hadn't spent a single one of the one thousand Gold Soul Coins Shui Bing'er had given him.

For the past few months, he had been entirely focused on cultivation.

"That won't do. Once you little guys go crazy with training, you stop caring about anything else."

Shui Bing'er stopped in her tracks and measured Li Jiuxuan's height with her warm, fair palm, finding that he only reached her navel: "Working hard at cultivation is a good thing, but you're still young and need to eat properly. Otherwise, how will you grow tall and strong in the future?"

From the very beginning, she had said she would bring this little brother back to Skywater Academy to take good care of him.

But seeing that Li Jiuxuan hadn't gained any weight over the past half-year, she felt she had been particularly negligent.

Which family's little brother wasn't plump and healthy?

Yet this little guy wouldn't eat properly.

Therefore, she had decided: she would prepare the little guy's meals every day and personally supervise him until he finished them.

By next year, he had to gain at least ten pounds!

"Oh..."

Li Jiuxuan could only nod obediently.

A while ago, the pressure from the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan had been too intense, forcing him to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

But now that Shui Yuerong had advanced to a Title Douluo, he could afford to relax just a little.

Just as Shui Bing'er was leading Li Jiuxuan by the hand back toward Calm Heart Lake.

A group of students from Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy walked toward them.

The masked male student leading the group greeted them politely: "Hello, Chief Shui Bing'er, my name is Feng Xiaotian..."
