The Ice and Fire Twins Shine Brightly, Li Qinglian Finally Appears

Spirit City.

The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament.

And this year's tournament had become the most exciting Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament in years.

Shui Bing'er of Tianshui Academy and Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy, who originally would only shine brilliantly five years later, had unexpectedly led their respective teams to turn the tide in this very tournament.

It was only when the competition reached the final round of sixteen that Li Qinglian finally strolled in at an unhurried pace.

Li Qinglian looked toward the arena.

The match currently underway was between Blazing Fire Academy and Thunder Academy.

Whoever won would make it into the top eight.

For Blazing Fire Academy in previous years, the top eight was actually already a pretty decent placing.

"Big Sister Huo Wu should be able to handle this match."

Li Qinglian sat in Tianshui Team's preparation area, watching the match onstage.

Shui Bing'er sat beside Li Qinglian.

"Huo Wu's current strength really is very strong."

"I originally thought I would leave her far behind."

Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes drifted quietly toward Li Qinglian.

She knew that Huo Wu had also taken an immortal herb and caught up in cultivation.

It was just that Shui Bing'er had not expected Huo Wu to now possess such a powerful ability to fight above her level as well.

"Big Sister Huo Wu's Shadow Martial Soul counts as a Body Martial Soul. Stimulated by the medicinal power of the immortal herb, it underwent a second awakening."

A second awakening of a Silver-grade Body Martial Soul—even ten thousand years later, that was the kind of talent the Body Sect would raise as a successor.

"Brother Qinglian, you must be thirsty. Have some juice."

Shui Yue'er walked over and sweetly handed the glass of juice in her left hand to Li Qinglian.

"Yue'er. Where's mine?"

Shui Bing'er froze for a moment, then shot Shui Yue'er a sharp glare with her beautiful eyes.

"I only have two hands. One cup for me, one cup for Brother Qinglian..."

A trace of slyness flashed through Shui Yue'er's eyes.

Her sister and Li Qinglian could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, stealing her man, so she was not buying her sister juice.

"You little thing, choosing a man over your sister."

Shui Bing'er curled her lips.

She knew her little sister held a grudge against her.

Back then, when she had refused to let her sister be with Li Qinglian, it had also been for her own good.

At that time, she really had not said it just to steal her sister's man.

As for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill they later developed...

Now, she absolutely could not give up this relationship, and even more so could not give up this Martial Soul Fusion Skill that had been pushed to the extreme.

But her little sister, too, had her whole heart set on Li Qinglian.

Four years had passed, and that had not changed at all.

Besides, it really had been her little sister who liked Li Qinglian first.

"Sigh."

Shui Bing'er held her forehead.

She had a bit of a headache.

It could not be that in the future, the two sisters would together...

Just thinking about that scene made her feel hot and restless all over.

She could accept Huo Wu, and could even barely accept Dugu Yan, but sister flowers were the one thing she found somewhat impossible to accept...

On the arena.

The match between Blazing Fire Academy and Thunder Academy entered a fever pitch.

The two teams' overall strength was about the same. Who won would depend on how each performed.

"Hmph. That damn Shui Bing'er. She just has to fight me for him."

Huo Wu glanced over unintentionally and saw the Water Family sisters sitting on Li Qinglian's left and right.

She immediately felt like she was about to explode.

The aura around her suddenly turned terrifying. A silver edge appeared around the ring of her Fire Shadow martial soul behind her.

And at that very moment, Huo Wu's aura surged wildly.

Although her cultivation was only rank thirty-six, the pressure she gave off was equivalent to that of a rank forty-six Soul Ancestor.

That powerful aura instantly made Huo Wu the most terrifying person in the entire arena.

"Blazing Dance Shining Sun!"

Huo Wu shouted.

All her surrounding teammates placed their arms on Huo Wu's shoulders.

Above Huo Wu's head, a terrifying ball of white flame condensed into being!

In the original plot, this soul skill was Huo Wu's fourth soul skill. Because of Li Qinglian's appearance, Huo Wu had hunted down this soul beast ahead of time.

On the main platform in Spirit City.

Bibi Dong shot to her feet.

The elders of Spirit Hall also stared at Huo Wu in shock.

"This year's tournament is truly interesting. First there was Shui Bing'er, whose ice chilled to the bone, and now Blazing Fire Academy has produced a monster like this."

"What is that silvery-white layer on Huo Wu? Why did her aura rise so much after entering that state?"

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply.

In the silver-grade martial soul awakened state, Huo Wu's strength was already formidable.

And Blazing Dance Shining Sun, a heaven-defying soul skill that could absorb her teammates' soul power to strengthen the soul skill, had raised Huo Wu's burst power to the level of a Soul King!

For a moment, everyone from Thunder Academy trembled in fear.

"Too terrifying. This girl really is a monster."

"I declare that from now on, Huo Wu is my goddess. Not even Shui Bing'er will do."

For a moment, the entire audience erupted in celebration.

At this moment, Huo Wu was simply like a war goddess.

Who could have imagined that a Soul Elder could be this terrifying?

Even Shui Bing'er, who had revealed invincible strength early on, had been the same.

For a time, the title of the Ice and Fire Twins gradually began to spread.

And Huo Wu's appearance made all the higher-ups of Spirit Hall feel a chill run through their bodies.

Although Shui Bing'er was powerful, she had only made them take a few extra glances. But Huo Wu's silver-grade martial soul second awakening was enough to shock them. This was something current Soul Master theory could not explain.

The battle ended very quickly. Once Huo Wu erupted, there was no longer any suspense.

But the name Huo Wu had already entered the eyes of the upper echelons of every major force across the continent.

Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Green Phoenix Douluo, Ning Fengzhi... Countless people who had come to Spirit City to watch because the finals were approaching all understood one thing.

There was something about Huo Wu that they could not understand, but it was definitely very important!

Perhaps a new martial soul theory had appeared, but they did not possess this knowledge!

"So powerful. Can we really still be considered geniuses?"

Beside Bibi Dong, Hu Liena's eyes were blank.

Shui Bing'er from a few days ago had already made her feel tremendous pressure. Huo Wu shocked her even more.

They were already such monsters now. Wouldn't they be even stronger in five years?

When that time came, as Teacher's disciple, would she be able to defeat them?

As the Holy Maiden, if she lost in the tournament...

She did not even dare imagine how much damage it would do to Spirit Hall's prestige.

"Sister Huo Wu, you're amazing."

"But you need to be careful. The current you has probably already entered the sights of those top-level experts."

Watching Huo Wu walk toward him, Li Qinglian spoke earnestly.

"Hehe. I'm not scared."

"After all, in this year's tournament, the most dazzling genius will be you."

"Once you make your stunning debut, no one will pay attention to me anymore."

"When that time comes, those people will all understand that everything special about us comes from you."

Huo Wu smiled as she rubbed Li Qinglian's hair.

Li Qinglian was becoming more and more handsome now.

Although Li Qinglian had been brought over by Tianshui Team as a substitute, he had yet to take the field.

The moment Li Qinglian made a move, the entire continent would be shaken.

After all, by the strictest count, Li Qinglian was only ten years old!

Yet he was a genuine rank thirty-three Soul Elder!

He had comprehended the supreme Green Lotus Sword Intent!

He possessed Ultimate Fire!

He had the Ice Fire Phoenix Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Bing'er!

Stacked together, it was far too terrifying!

If Li Qinglian appeared, he would inevitably draw every eye in the arena.

On top of that, Li Qinglian was Tianshui Team's only male member, and the only male member they had had in nearly a hundred years. That alone made him an incredibly hot topic!

Huo Wu and the Water Family sisters all turned their eyes toward Li Qinglian.

Joy filled their hearts, but there was also some worry.

Once this treasure of a boy stepped into the spotlight, the pressure on them would be enormous from then on.

When that time came, they feared every outstanding girl in the world would fall in love with him.

And that day was not far away.

Tianshui Team undoubtedly charged into the top four.

In the semifinal match, their opponent was Star Luo Academy, who possessed the Nether White Tiger.

In this match, if Li Qinglian did not make a move, Tianshui Team would have to stop here.
