Blazing Dance

The Blazing Team trained hard like this, and Wang Xiaofei was undoubtedly the most diligent of them all.

Every day, Wang Xiaofei followed an extremely strict schedule. He spent almost all his time training, fighting spirit battles, meditating, and rock climbing. After a year of rock climbing, Wang Xiaofei had basically mastered Beast Transformation in both hands. He could even transform both hands without using a Soul Skill. It could be said that he had comprehended all this from his Third and Fourth Soul Skills.

As for Xiaofei's combat strength, the other members of the Blazing Team still fell far behind him. Even Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, the two Soul Ancestors, were nowhere near his match when they joined forces. Indeed, Huo Wu had also become a Soul Ancestor, and her Fourth Soul Skill had likewise come from an Earth Fire Lizard.

If they fought without restraint, Xiaofei could even go one-on-one with Huo Yi. Nowadays, Xiaofei's training partner every morning was usually Huo Yi. Sometimes, Xiaofei would fight the other seven members by himself. Everyone was extremely curious about Wang Xiaofei's diligence and determination, especially the ambitious Huo Wu.

"Xiaofei, why are you still training so hard today? Come out and take a walk with us. Let's go shopping! Sometimes, you need to balance work and rest," Huo Wushuang said.

Wang Xiaofei greatly admired Huo Wushuang. He was brave, decisive, responsible, and doted on his younger sister. He was the spiritual leader of the team. Although his strength was inferior to Xiaofei's, he had earned the trust of every member. He was somewhat like Dai Mubai, but even more responsible and dutiful. He was also the successor the Huo Family was focused on cultivating.

The three of them walked down the street, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Huo Wu carried herself proudly, like a blooming peacock. Huo Wushuang was comparatively steady, making him seem somewhat unlike his Martial Soul, the Blazing Dragon. Xiaofei, meanwhile, was like a transparent person, following beside the other two.

The three entered a restaurant. Huo Wu picked up the menu and ordered an entire tableful of dishes without the slightest hesitation. Before Huo Wushuang and Xiaofei could react, she had already finished ordering. The two of them stared blankly. This was complete female chauvinism.

Suddenly, several people appeared at the entrance. A gust of wind blew past, and someone was already sitting beside Huo Wu. It was their old acquaintance, Feng Xiaotian. Godwind Academy and Blazing Academy often exchanged pointers, and the two academies had a very good relationship. After interacting so often, everyone had become familiar with one another. Feng Xiaotian, meanwhile, had always been pursuing Huo Wu. However, proud Huo Wu had never thought much of him, leaving Feng Xiaotian extremely dejected.

It was rare to run into them outside, so he decisively came over. Huo Wu immediately grew impatient. She glanced at Xiaofei beside her, then grabbed his hand and said, "Feng Xiaotian, Xiaofei is my boyfriend now. If you really want to pursue me, beat Xiaofei first!"

Xiaofei looked at Huo Wu beside him and felt that anything he said would be wrong, so he could only keep silent. Feng Xiaotian glanced at Xiaofei and immediately fell silent as well, because he had already fought Xiaofei several times and was completely outmatched.

For a moment, no one said anything. In the end, Huo Wushuang spoke first. "Brother Feng, what brings you to our side?"

"Isn't it for the exchange between the two academies? I mainly came over to see my little sister Huo Wu." The others shot Feng Xiaotian contemptuous looks. In the end, Huo Wu still domineeringly drove him away.

The table returned to its original scene of three people. Huo Wushuang suddenly asked, "Xiaofei, why do you train so hard? What exactly is your goal? Your cultivation always feels different from that of people your age."

Xiaofei thought for a moment before saying, "I just want to be able to decide my own fate. I don't want to be powerless when disaster strikes. Right now, I'm only a minor Soul Ancestor. In the eyes of many powerful figures, killing me might be as easy as crushing an ant."

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang both seriously pondered the question. Then Huo Wu asked, "What kind of achievement do you think would let you control your own fate and keep others from treating you like an ant?"

Xiaofei glanced at the two of them and said seriously, "This world is actually very large. What we've come into contact with is only a tiny corner. No one knows how powerful Spirit Hall is, but I estimate that they have at least ten Titled Douluo. In their eyes, we might not even count as ants. In other words, you need at least the strength of a Titled Douluo to control whether you live or die."

Huo Wu looked seriously at Xiaofei and quietly continued eating. Huo Wushuang also said nothing. Both of them were thinking, So Xiaofei's goal is actually this immense.

That afternoon, Huo Wushuang secretly found Xiaofei and asked, "Xiaofei, what do you think of Xiao Wu? If you became Xiao Wu's boyfriend, I would support you. I can help you from behind the scenes."

Xiaofei looked at Huo Wushuang speechlessly. Are you trying to sell your sister? After thinking for a moment, he said, "Huo Wu is a very beautiful girl, passionate as fire. There are many people around us who like her. If you want to be her boyfriend, you must have the ability to make Huo Wu acknowledge you, and you also need to tolerate her personality. Huo Wu is clearly the type who is rather domineering. In other words, Huo Wu is a queen. To deal with a queen, you need to be more capable than her while tolerating her in everything. Personally, I prefer living a peaceful life, so I'm afraid I might not be able to handle Huo Wu's personality."

Less than half an hour later, Huo Wu stormed over. "Xiaofei, what do you mean, I need to have my personality tolerated? Is my personality that bad?" She pointed at Xiaofei's nose and gave him a thorough scolding before stalking off. Nearby, Huo Wushuang hid himself and snickered.

And so, their daily lives became filled with constant bickering and horseplay. Huo Wu always carried herself like a queen, Xiaofei remained low-key as usual, and Huo Wushuang played the peacemaker. The relationship between the three of them grew even closer. Sometimes, Huo Wu could not stand Xiaofei's calm and composed appearance. Unfortunately, she could not beat him.

Two years passed like this. Xiaofei was already fourteen, Huo Wu was eighteen, and Huo Wushuang was twenty. The magnificent All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, held once every five years, was about to begin as well.

Their current Soul Power levels were as follows: Wang Xiaofei, Level 49; Huo Wushuang, Level 47; Huo Wu, Level 46. The other four members of the team were all Level 42: Huoxing, Huoyu, Huojun, and Huochui. Their Martial Souls were all Huo He, and they were agility-type Battle Spirit Masters. It could be said that the Blazing Academy team had an unprecedentedly powerful lineup. If it had any weakness, it was the lack of a support-type Soul Master. If they had someone like Ye Lingling or Ning Rongrong, the team would be perfect.

This All-Continent Soul Master Tournament would be led personally by Principal Huo Tianchen, with Director of Studies Huo Lie accompanying the team as well. There were also four substitutes, all Level 38 or 39 Battle Spirit Masters. Fire Attribute Soul Masters basically never took the support route.
