Blushing

Tang San lacked ice-and-fire immunity, so his strength was obviously much lower than in the original story. And Tang San's Blue Silver Grass feared fire most of all. That was why they had lost this match so thoroughly.

After the match, Tang San and the others felt extremely dejected. Yu Xiaogang said, "Little San, this match wasn't your fault. It was my misjudgment. Only after fighting them did I realize that Blazing Academy is far stronger than I imagined."

Tang San lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "I don't know why, but I feel like the people from Blazing Academy are especially agile. Every one of them is incredibly fast and powerful."

Yu Xiaogang nodded. "That's right. After you fought Blazing Academy, I noticed the same issue. I have no idea what method they used to train both their speed and strength so well. You could say that several of them are both agility-attack Soul Masters and power-attack Soul Masters. That is what puzzles me."

After discussing it for a while without coming up with any answers, they returned.

After the match ended, Xiaofeizi, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang walked out of the Soul Arena. "Xiaofeizi, I'm in a good mood today. How about we go take a look at the auction house?" Huo Wushuang and Xiaofeizi both nodded. They did feel rather bored.

The three headed toward the auction house. As they walked along the road, Xiaofeizi suddenly sensed that something was wrong. The Great Soul Arena was very close to the auction house, so why had they been walking for so long without arriving? Could there be a problem? When he looked more carefully at their surroundings, he indeed found something strange. Although people were still bustling about, they seemed soulless. Xiaofeizi instantly understood what was happening and secretly loosened his right hand.

Suddenly, the scene before all three of them changed. In the blink of an eye, they were standing in a wedding hall. Xiaofeizi looked down to find himself wearing red ceremonial robes and marrying a girl. Worse still, he was actually wearing a red bridal veil. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the girl was Huo Wu, while the young man beside them was Huo Wushuang. Huo Wushuang placed Huo Wu's hand in Xiaofeizi's and solemnly said, "Xiaofeizi, I'll leave my sister to you from now on. You must treat her well."

Huo Wu said domineeringly, "Xiaofeizi, don't worry. After you marry me, I'll definitely treat you well. No matter where we are in the future, I'll protect you."

Next, the two entered the bridal chamber and shared a passionate moment.

Suddenly, a deafening boom rang out in the sky, and countless assassins rushed in. Flames blazed everywhere around them. Several uncles from the Huo Family and the Dean lay in pools of blood. Several men raised their blades and stabbed toward Huo Wu, Xiaofeizi, and Huo Wushuang.

Cursing, Xiaofeizi strode toward the assassins. Suddenly, a flash gleamed in his eyes, and a burst of light shot directly at them. The assassins instantly felt dizzy. Five sharp steel claws extended from Xiaofeizi's fingers, and with a swift slash, he cut the assassins into several pieces.

The scene before them immediately shattered, and all three opened their eyes. Pain and confusion filled Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang's faces, while Xiaofeizi stood near a gloomy old man. The old man had already been sliced into several pieces by Xiaofeizi's steel claws. Xiaofeizi sat on the ground, gasping heavily. Blood spilled from the old man's mouth as he struggled to say, "I never expected you to be the strongest among the three. You even have an External Soul Bone."

Xiaofeizi snorted coldly. "Shinian of Blue Sunshine Academy." "You actually know me?" The old man died with an unwilling expression.

"It was actually Shinian?" Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang hurried over. Huo Wushuang said, "Xiaofeizi, you're getting more and more formidable. Even Shinian was no match for you."

Huo Wu walked over as well, yet she said nothing. Her face merely looked a little flushed. Xiaofeizi and Huo Wushuang suddenly recalled the scenes from the illusion. Xiaofeizi swallowed. Huo Wu's face turned even redder, and she snapped in embarrassment and anger, "What are you two staring at? Neither of you is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today, or I'll chop you both up." The two immediately broke out in cold sweat.

The three stood there speechless for more than ten minutes, until their bodies had mostly recovered. Huo Wushuang said, "What do we do now? Shinian is dead. There's no proof left."

Xiaofeizi looked around. The area was extremely secluded, truly the perfect place for murder and robbery. A glint flashed through his eyes as he thought of something. A ball of flame ignited and flew toward Shinian's corpse. After the corpse had burned for a while, a crystalline glimmer indeed appeared in the flames. Xiaofeizi hurriedly retrieved it. Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were astonished. They had never expected Shinian to possess a Head Soul Bone. Xiaofeizi quickly put away the Soul Bone, then carefully checked the surroundings. After confirming that no one was nearby, he said to the two, "Let's go back first and discuss it there." The two nodded as well, and they quickly returned to the city.

After the three returned to a room, Huo Wushuang immediately called Huo Lie and Huo Tianchen over. He quickly told them what had just happened. The two looked at the Head Soul Bone on the table, then gazed at Xiaofeizi and the others with lingering fear.

Huo Tianchen said, "Xiaofeizi, you actually managed to kill a Soul Saint. Shinian of Blue Sunshine Academy was no insignificant figure. Even many Soul Douluo disliked facing him."

Huo Tianchen continued, "Since you killed Shinian, Xiaofeizi should keep this Head Soul Bone himself. Did you clean things up properly?"

Xiaofeizi hurriedly replied, "I checked carefully. No one should have noticed."

Looking at the Soul Bone, Xiaofeizi thought for a moment and said, "The attributes of this Soul Bone don't suit me. Sister Huo Wu, your Martial Soul is support-type, so it would be more effective for you to absorb it. If that doesn't work, you can sell it to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I'm sure they would want this kind of Soul Bone."

After the five discussed it for some time, Huo Wu finally accepted the Soul Bone happily. Huo Wu suddenly asked, "You weren't actually affected by the Illusion Technique, were you? You deliberately pretended to be under it so you could kill Shinian in one blow?"

Xiaofeizi hurriedly shook his head. "No, I really was affected by the Illusion Technique. It's just that my Spiritual Power is rather special, so I can break it."

Huo Wu immediately flew into a rage. "Then why were you still..." She glanced at the others in the room before storming out angrily.

Huo Wushuang kicked Xiaofeizi and said, "Why aren't you hurrying after her to explain things clearly?"

Xiaofeizi had no choice but to go to Huo Wu's door and knock. Huo Wu did not open it. Xiaofeizi continued knocking, and Huo Wu finally opened the door, saying furiously, "Xiaofeizi, I've treated you so well all this time, yet you're actually that kind of person?"

Xiaofeizi rolled his eyes helplessly. What kind of person am I?

Xiaofeizi could only say seriously, "Sister Huo Wu, I truly had no choice this time. Shinian of Blue Sunshine Academy was a dignified Soul Saint, while I'm only a mere Soul Ancestor. If I hadn't done that today, the three of us would probably have died."

Huo Wu finally lowered her voice and said, "Even if you had no choice, you still couldn't act like that today. What are we supposed to be?"

Xiaofeizi immediately broke out in cold sweat.
