A Romantic Date with Huo Wu!

Feng Xiaotian poured every last bit of his power into Gale Wings. The energy wings gleamed with dazzling white light, almost solid in appearance, and trembled violently as though they could barely withstand the terrifying energy!

Feng Xiaotian plunged downward like a shooting star, leaving streaks of afterimages in his wake!

"Three Whips!"

By now, Lin Fan had also finished gathering his strength. He unleashed the third strike of Lightning Five-Chain Whip!

He lazily swept his dragon claw forward. The gesture looked like a young couple playfully flirting, or like a tiny fist pounding against someone's chest. It seemed to have no power at all!

Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wings and Lin Fan's dragon claw collided fiercely beneath the gaze of the entire crowd!

The instant they made contact, time and space seemed to freeze. The surrounding scenery vanished from view, and all anyone could see was Lin Fan and Feng Xiaotian!

Crack!

A faint fracture rang out across the arena. A crack appeared in the Gale Wings Feng Xiaotian had condensed. More cracks followed in rapid succession, spreading like a spiderweb!

Boom!

Two breaths later, an explosion of energy sent Feng Xiaotian flying like a kite with its strings cut. Blood gushed from his mouth as though it cost nothing, leaving clouds of mist in the air!

The scales on the palm of Lin Fan's dragon claw shattered one by one, leaving a hideous gash. Still, his injuries were nothing compared to Feng Xiaotian's!

"Impossible... How could I lose..."

Feng Xiaotian's face was deathly pale, disbelief still written across it. He simply couldn't accept his defeat!

He could never have imagined that the Lightning Five-Chain Whip technique Lin Fan had obtained for completing a mission was an existence that transcended this world!

With just three strikes, it had left him utterly helpless!

Feng Xiaotian tried to struggle to his feet, but every bone in his body felt broken. He couldn't even support himself!

"I have to admit, you're a worthy opponent. But unfortunately, Huo Wu is destined to be my woman!"

Lin Fan walked up to Feng Xiaotian, a glimmer of mutual respect in his eyes.

Among Soul Masters of their generation, Feng Xiaotian was the most outstanding Lin Fan had ever met. His self-created Soul Skill was also impressive!

If Tang San hadn't had the protagonist's halo in the original story, Lin Fan even thought Feng Xiaotian might one day surpass him!

Feng Xiaotian said nothing, his expression utterly dejected. He was a man who valued honor above all else. A loss was a loss, and compared with Lin Fan's excellence, he no longer had the face to pursue Huo Wu.

"This pill works well for healing, and it can raise your Soul Power by at least two levels!"

"Also, here's a piece of advice: with your talent and strength, you don't need to act like a lovesick puppy to pursue a girl. Sometimes, being a little more domineering can have unexpected results!"

Lin Fan held out his hand and offered Feng Xiaotian a pill he had refined earlier using an Immortal Herb.

After fighting Feng Xiaotian, Lin Fan felt a strong kinship with him. If not for Huo Wu, the two of them might have become friends!

Feng Xiaotian was leagues above that hypocrite Tang San in both character and talent!

Feng Xiaotian stared blankly at Lin Fan, his expression startled.

He had assumed Lin Fan would humiliate him mercilessly after winning. He hadn't expected him to treat him this way!

"Thank you..."

The dejection in Feng Xiaotian's eyes quickly faded, replaced by the fighting spirit of a gifted Soul Master. He took the pill from Lin Fan and thanked him sincerely!

Lin Fan nodded in response, then stepped down from the Soul Fighting Arena.

"T-this guy is way too monstrous!"

The spectators finally came to their senses. They looked at Lin Fan as if they'd seen a ghost!

Even Emperor Xue Ye, seated in the place of honor, was stunned, his mouth hanging open.

"It seems this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament won't be dominated by Spirit Hall alone anymore. Hahaha!"

Once he recovered, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't contain his excitement and burst into laughter!

Ning Fengzhi's expression was complicated too. "When Lin Fan promised me he'd win the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, I thought it was just a child's impulsive boast. Now that I think about it, he must have already had the strength and confidence to back it up..."

"Could that kid have played me for a fool...?"

"Lin Fan, you've gotten even stronger!"

Seeing Lin Fan stride off the Soul Fighting Arena, Ning Rongrong ran over with a smile and took his hand...

"Heh, of course. If it weren't for that damned restriction on you, I'd be even stronger!"

Lin Fan grinned, his words carrying a pointed meaning.

"You're awful!"

Ning Rongrong's pretty face turned faintly red. She knew exactly what he meant, and pinched him hard on the waist with her delicate hand!

Still, thinking that Lin Fan was growing stronger so quickly, and that the restriction might be lifted before long, filled Ning Rongrong with anticipation!

"Oh, right, Rongrong. Your strength has improved a lot this time. Let's go to Star Dou Forest together tomorrow and help you get your Soul Rings!"

Lin Fan spoke up.

With Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan joining his harem, and after acquiring all those Immortal Herbs, the five girls had grown considerably stronger!

As a Soul Beast, Xiao Wu didn't need a Soul Ring. But Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan needed their fourth Soul Rings, while Ning Rongrong needed her third!

Now that they'd finished competing against Godwind Academy, they had no opponents for the time being. It was the perfect chance to take a trip to Star Dou Forest.

"Lin Fan, maybe we shouldn't go after all..."

Ning Rongrong said with some worry.

Lin Fan paused, then realized what was troubling her. That girl must have been left with a lingering fear after the Titan Giant Ape appeared last time!

Chapter 66: A Romantic Date with Huo Wu!

"Uh... It's okay. The Titan Giant Ape showing up last time was an accident. I promise it won't happen again! And even if it does, I'm confident I can get you all out safely..."

Lin Fan patted Ning Rongrong's head, reassuring her.

"Really? I was so scared something would happen to you again!"

Ning Rongrong looked up at him, eyes shining. The memory of Lin Fan risking his life to save her in Star Dou Forest was still as vivid as if it had happened yesterday!

"How could I lie to you, Rongrong? Don't worry..."

Lin Fan said it without batting an eye, his face thicker than a city wall.

"Lin Fan..."

Just as Ning Rongrong and Lin Fan were about to head back to their lodgings, a young woman's voice called out, sounding a little shy...

Lin Fan turned around and saw Huo Wu behind him. She looked embarrassed, her hands clasped in front of her, her teeth lightly biting her lip as she turned her head aside, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Hmph, what a womanizer!"

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong snorted. She might have gotten used to Lin Fan's ways, but she was still a little jealous!

"Be good, Rongrong. You go on ahead!"

Lin Fan affectionately ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair.

"There are more and more women around you. By the time my restriction is lifted, I won't even get a turn. Or maybe you won't be interested in me by then!"

Ning Rongrong pouted, looking aggrieved. Before she had met Lin Fan, only Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had been around. In just two short months, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had moved ahead of her, and now Huo Wu had appeared too!

"Silly girl, haven't you heard? The harder something is to get, the more precious it is. The harder it is to get you, the more I'll cherish you!"

"Besides, there's nothing wrong with being further back in line. Men usually dote most on their youngest wife!"

Lin Fan reassured her.

"Fine, but you'd better mean it!"

Ning Rongrong seemed satisfied with Lin Fan's answer. She glanced at Huo Wu, then rose onto her toes and planted a kiss on Lin Fan's cheek as a show of defiance before leaving happily!

"You came to see me because you've made up your mind, didn't you?"

Lin Fan walked over to Huo Wu and asked gently.

"Mm... I've thought about it a lot over the past few days. We haven't known each other for long, and you have so many women around you..."

"But I still want to follow what my heart tells me..."

Huo Wu had started out shy, but by the end she was facing her feelings openly. Her gaze gradually settled on Lin Fan and never left him.

The scene of Lin Fan fighting Feng Xiaotian on the Soul Fighting Arena replayed in her mind, moment by moment!

This man had a certain magic about him. He was sunny, handsome, and carefree, with formidable strength. He faced every situation with composure, never batting an eye even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him!

They said every young woman dreamed of love. Huo Wu had never been moved by the pursuit of a genius Soul Master like Feng Xiaotian, yet Lin Fan had already stolen her heart!

"Master, the system has issued a mission: win Huo Wu's heart, and you'll receive a generous reward!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to speak, Daji's voice rang out in his mind!

He had planned to define his relationship with Huo Wu after returning from Star Dou Forest, but now it seemed he would have to do it sooner.

His gaze swept over Huo Wu's stunning figure and beautiful face, alluring in its own way. A rush of heat surged through him!

"Good. I'll spend my whole life proving you made the right choice. Then tonight will be a romantic night for the two of us..."

Lin Fan smiled and took Huo Wu's delicate hand, soft as silk.

For such an important first date, Lin Fan couldn't take Huo Wu to the lodgings where Xiao Wu and the others were staying. Instead, he went with her to one of Heaven Dou City's well-known couples' hotels and booked a room!

Inside, soft pink lights bathed the room. Exquisite dishes, red candles, and roses made Huo Wu's pretty face look even more enchanting!

"Come on, cheers!"

Lin Fan opened the red wine he'd bought from the System Mall, poured half a glass for each of them, and clinked glasses with Huo Wu!

Red wine was wonderful stuff. It wasn't as strong as liquor, but it gave you a hazy, tipsy feeling that helped bring two people closer and warm up their relationship!

Sure enough, after a few glasses, the shyness that had kept Huo Wu from letting loose began to fade. A mesmerizing haze crept into her eyes, and a captivating flush spread across her cheeks.

"Come on... drink some more!"

By the end, Huo Wu was slurring her words. She stood unsteadily and grabbed the bottle, drinking straight from it!

"Okay, you're drunk!"

Lin Fan hurriedly tried to stop her. The two of them needed a little alcohol to loosen up before they got intimate, but if she drank until she didn't know what was going on, it would ruin the mood!

"I'm not drunk... I think you're the one who's drunk... You're such a lightweight..."

Huo Wu knocked Lin Fan's hand aside, then gulped down several more mouthfuls of red wine, muttering to herself.

"Alas!"

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly, then bought a Mai Shiranui cosplay outfit from the system space and handed it to Huo Wu.

"If you're not drunk, put this on and show it to your husband, okay?"

Lin Fan spoke in a coaxing tone.

"Hmph... What's the big deal? It's just a set of clothes. Just you wait..."

Huo Wu rose unsteadily and ran onto the bed with the outfit...

A few minutes later.

"Husband... Am I beautiful?"

Her soft, tender voice rang out, enough to make a person weak at the knees!

Huo Wu stood demurely in front of Lin Fan. The first thing to catch his eye was her pair of long, dazzlingly white legs, revealed in flashes beneath the swaying red slit skirt!

Huo Wu's eyes were hazy with drink, as if veiled in a thin mist. Her gaze was full of captivating charm!

Her pretty cheeks were flushed, her delicate nose high and pert, and her moist, thin red lips curved into an alluring smile!

Her long, fair swan neck, her bewitching collarbones, and her ample chest made anyone who saw it want to spurt blood!

Huo Wu looked exactly like Mai Shiranui—if anything, she was even more stunning!

"Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!"

Lin Fan nodded like a pecking chick. No man could stay calm in the face of a beauty like this!

"Then... why don't you hurry up and devour me..."
