"Little brother Qin Qi, you'll definitely help your big sister get revenge, right? We're good friends."

Dugu Yan swayed Qin Qi's arm as she spoke in a soft, seductive voice.

"Uh..."

Qin Qi wore a troubled expression. He knew Dugu Yan had definitely exaggerated while telling the story.

"Help me deal with them, and I'll take one medicinal herb over a hundred years old for each of you from my grandfather's herb garden."

Dugu Yan leaned close to Qin Qi's ear and whispered.

"I have a duty to do so!"

"They dared bully Boss Yan? They're courting death! No matter what, we have to beat them up today!"

"By the way, how many are there?"

Qin Qi abruptly changed his tune and asked.

"Seven or eight, I guess. Every one of them is above Rank 20, and they're very strong. The trash from our academy is no match for them at all."

Dugu Yan revealed a resentful look as she spoke. During this time, she had found quite a few people to get revenge for her.

But unfortunately, everyone in their academy was an aristocrat who looked impressive but was useless in a real fight. There was not a single one who could truly fight.

"Seven or eight people? Then I'll need to call someone."

Qin Qi rubbed his chin, preparing to call Yu Tianheng along.

"Me, Yu Tianheng, Sister Yan, and behind me, this is Shi Mo, and this is Stone Mill. Both have top-tier defensive martial souls."

"With Lingling's top-tier healing martial soul, we'll be invincible!"

Qin Qi said.

"That guy Yu Tianheng isn't going. I asked him for help before, but that brat was ridiculously arrogant. No matter what conditions I offered, he wouldn't agree."

Dugu Yan snorted coldly. As the academy's battle maniac, Yu Tianheng had long since been someone she had invited.

But that guy had ignored Dugu Yan completely, only caring about finding people to fight.

"Sister Yan, you really don't understand a man's heart."

"Don't worry. If I make a move, I'll easily settle this guy."

Qin Qi smiled.

The group then moved to Heaven Dou Royal Academy's spirit fighting arena. At the moment, Yu Tianheng was on the stage looking for someone to fight.

But everyone knew how formidable Yu Tianheng was, and no one was willing to go up and fight him.

"Old Yu, want to go pick a fight with someone? You in?"

Qin Qi called from beneath the stage.

"With who?"

Yu Tianheng asked.

"The top geniuses from Blazing Fire Academy. They've gathered seven or eight people and are planning to fight us."

"All seven or eight of them are great soul masters above Rank 20. This one will be pretty tough."

Qin Qi said.

"Let's go!"

Yu Tianheng jumped off the stage without hesitation and prepared to follow Qin Qi into the fight.

"What, is something wrong with your brain?"

"I offered you such generous compensation before, and you refused. Now Qin Qi says one sentence about going out to fight, and you come right down."

"What are you thinking?"

Dugu Yan was utterly baffled. Before coming here, she had guessed that Qin Qi might duel Yu Tianheng.

Then Qin Qi would defeat Yu Tianheng with his strength, win him over, and have him join her team.

But she had never expected Yu Tianheng to volunteer after just a single sentence from Qin Qi.

"You're the one with something wrong with your brain."

"You asked me to be your thug before. I'm not going to fight over those little matters between you women."

"But now it's a fight between talented students. How could a strong man like me possibly avoid it?"

Yu Tianheng had never feared battle. He had refused Dugu Yan before only because he did not want to be her thug.

"Psycho. Violence freak. Idiot."

Dugu Yan immediately grew displeased when she saw Yu Tianheng's arrogant expression and began muttering under her breath.

"That's enough, everyone. Don't let us start fighting among ourselves before we even get there."

Qin Qi smiled and tried to mediate. After talking for quite a while, the group finally set off, preparing to face Blazing Fire Academy.

As they walked, the other students who saw them gathered together could not help whispering among themselves.

"What are these problem children gathering for?"

"They look so aggressive. Who provoked them?"

"No one, probably. Who in the academy hasn't been beaten up by these people lately? Who would dare provoke them?"

"Are they heading out? Don't tell me they're going out to fight someone else?"

"If that's the case, we have to go watch."

For a moment, everyone's gossiping instincts surfaced. They still had no idea what was going on, but if there was drama, they had to see it.

The crowd silently followed after them.

Led by Dugu Yan, they arrived at the commercial street and found Huo Wu and her group drinking tea outside a coffee shop.

Dugu Yan strode over aggressively and slammed her palm onto the table.

"Bitch, you dared to hit me before. Today, I'll make sure you learn how formidable I am!"

Dugu Yan glared at Huo Wu and spoke fiercely.

"Oh? I've heard you say that at least seven or eight times, if not ten."

"When have you ever beaten us? You brought quite a few people this time, but it's still useless. They're all trash."

Huo Wu held her teacup elegantly, her face brimming with arrogance. She turned to glance at Qin Qi's group and the students who had followed along to watch the show.

A trace of disdain flashed through her eyes before she spoke.

"Creak, creak!"

Dugu Yan ground her teeth, then planted both hands on the table and flipped it over in one motion!

"Fight me again! If I lose this time, you'll have the final say on this street from now on!"

"I, Dugu Yan, will take a detour whenever I see you in the future! And when students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy see students of Blazing Fire Academy, they'll take a detour too!"

"But if I win, you'll lower your head and call me Sister Yan. From now on, whenever you see me, you'll have to bow in salute!"

Dugu Yan was truly enraged this time. Since childhood, she had never suffered such humiliation.

No matter what, she had to go all out against them this time!

"Hmph. I'm not particularly interested in you, but I do enjoy standing above others."

"I'll fight you. But if you lose, then from now on, whenever students of Heaven Dou Academy see students of Blazing Fire Academy, they'll have to bow in salute!"

"Do you dare accept those terms?"

Huo Wu abruptly rose to her feet as well. Two yellow soul rings appeared behind her, and her Fire Shadow Martial Soul hovered at her back!

The air around her began to warp from the scorching flames.

"Fine!"

"But I won't accept a one-on-one duel. We're fighting as teams!"

As Dugu Yan spoke, she released her own martial soul as well—the Jade Phosphor Serpent. A cloyingly sweet scent immediately began to spread.

However, the poisonous gas was instantly burned away the moment it touched the flames around Huo Wu.

"Bang!"

Following Dugu Yan's words, the Blazing Fire Academy students seated nearby all rose to their feet.

They released their martial souls, and in an instant, the surroundings seemed to be engulfed by a sea of fire!

The temperature rapidly soared, and even Dugu Yan's hair began to curl slightly.

"Using numbers to bully the few, huh? But Heaven Dou doesn't have enough people here. Hey, release your martial souls."

Qin Qi immediately stepped forward, though he did not approach Dugu Yan. He was afraid of being poisoned.
