A year ago.
Vague memories of the future had suddenly surfaced in her mind.
For a girl going through adolescence, matters concerning her own love life were incredibly enticing.
Whenever she thought of them at night, she could not help but look forward to finding out what kind of person the boy in her memories was.
Would they... really end up together?
And cultivate into gods?!
However.
The memories were few and hazy.
She had caught glimpses of bits and pieces of their daily life and only learned Su Li's name.
As for everything else.
She knew very little.
And now, they had actually met at the outskirts of Star Dou Forest?
Could this be the legendary... fate?
Only.
Why was there a pretty little girl behind him?!
Huo Wu smiled on the surface, but inwardly, she had already cursed Ning Rongrong bloody.
If she had not wanted to avoid showing Su Li her hot-tempered side.
She would have given that clueless little brat an over-the-shoulder throw on the spot.
"You... know me?"
Su Li frowned and asked curiously.
He had suddenly gotten a feeling just now.
The girl before him had been extremely excited when she saw him.
As though she had waited a long time before finally finding the person she wanted to meet.
"I know you..." Huo Wu stepped forward and smiled gently. "Little brother, don't we know each other now?"
The girl bent down and looked at the little boy before her, who only came up to her chest, and her heart immediately blossomed with joy.
So... Su Li had been this adorable when he was little?
What should she do? She really wanted to take him home and raise him.
"What nonsense are you babbling about?! Stay away from him!"
Ning Rongrong's gaze instantly turned dangerous. She grabbed Su Li's arm, pulled him two steps forward, and stood between them.
Seeing her act as though she were protecting her food, Huo Wu felt even more displeased.
Where had this little girl come from?!
Did she really think Su Li belonged to her?!
Just as Huo Wu was about to say something else, the team members behind her immediately stepped forward and looked at her in confusion.
"Little sister! What are you doing?!"
"He stole my Soul Beast!"
Huo Wushuang looked at his sister strangely, wondering if she had taken the wrong medicine.
She had always been unbelievably proud around boys and looked down on every one of them.
So why now...
Was she showing such enthusiasm toward a little boy?
Could it be...
Love at first sight?!
How the hell was that possible?!
"Brother! The Soul Beast has already been killed by them, and you can't absorb its Soul Ring anyway... There's no need for us to stir up trouble."
Huo Wushuang: "???"
Was this really his sister?
Could he have fallen under an illusion?
Su Li looked calmly at the people before him. "In that case, this Soul Beast belongs to us."
"Please leave on your own."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Su Li walked toward the Sacred Flame Dragon Lizard, sat down cross-legged, and began absorbing its Soul Ring.
"Damn! Is this kid crazy? A Soul Master trying to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring? Isn't he afraid of dying?!"
"Nice, nice, nice. So he's an idiot."
"What a pity... Who knows what madness the vice-captain was struck with, actually backing down... Sigh, do you think she's taken a liking to that kid?"
"Possible..."
Listening to the gossip around her, Huo Wu's cheeks turned pink as though they had been scorched by fire.
She turned around and glared viciously at those whispering people.
"If you don't want to die... shut up!"
"Yes!"
With Huo Wu's warning, they no longer dared to make a sound.
As the academy headmaster's daughter, she was proud and fiery, and she acted the moment she felt like it.
They did not want to get beaten up...
"Lao Qiang... don't you think the refined man beside that boy looks familiar?"
"I seem to... have some impression of him?"
The two teachers leading the team stared fixedly at Chen Xin's back, cold sweat involuntarily beading on their foreheads.
When those students had been clamoring just now, they had wanted to speak up as well.
But after that young man had glanced at them, they had instinctively not dared to open their mouths.
It seemed that if they made the slightest move, their lives would immediately be forfeit.
"He's probably a disciple from some major power... He actually dares to make his second Soul Ring a thousand-year one. That's utterly insane."
"Shh, keep watching... Don't make a sound. We may be about to witness history."
The ten teachers and students from Blazing Fire Academy stood there, their eyes fixed on Su Li.
Their eyes held both shock and confusion.
"Su Li... you have to succeed..."
Ning Rongrong clasped her hands together, interlocked her fingers, closed her eyes, and silently prayed.
For ten thousand years.
No one had ever heard of anyone on the continent having a thousand-year second Soul Ring.
How could she not worry?
Even though she trusted Su Li greatly, she was still nervous.
Time passed second by second.
Every time Su Li frowned, the hearts of the two girls lurched.
The feeling was no different from dancing at the edge of a cliff.
Chen Xin stood there quietly. Those who knew him would understand.
At this moment, he was even more focused than when facing a Titled Douluo.
As the Soul Ring's color grew fainter and fainter, it was finally absorbed successfully.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly rose to a bizarre peak.
"He... succeeded?"
"Impossible! This is impossible! It completely defies martial soul theory!"
"A thousand-year second Soul Ring? Are we witnessing history?"
Ning Rongrong and Huo Wu immediately relaxed, identical smiles appearing on their faces.
Then.
For some reason, the two of them suddenly looked at each other.
Their eyes met, and intense hostility flashed within them.
"Hmph! Another shameless bitch!"
"What exactly is Su Li made of? Why is he so attractive to girls?!"
Ning Rongrong grumbled unhappily, walked over to Su Li, and asked, "How was it?"
"Mm... not bad."
Su Li swung his arm. After absorbing the thousand-year Soul Ring, he felt that his physique had improved considerably.
He also seemed to have grown a little taller.
Looking at the boy who was once again slightly taller than herself, Ning Rongrong could not help feeling competitive.
She stood on tiptoe and pressed down on his head.
"Su Li, grow slower. Don't get too much taller than me!"
"It's tiring having to look up at you all the time."
After saying that.
Ning Rongrong did not know what came over her, but in front of so many people, she gently rubbed Su Li's head.
They looked like childhood sweethearts with a close relationship.
The other boys could not help feeling a little envious.
Only Huo Wu.
Her face was red, as though she were about to explode.
She bared her teeth, and the smile on her face was about to collapse.
Ning Rongrong secretly glanced at her and instantly smiled even more charmingly.
"Oh my, why is this big sister's face so red?"
"Could it be too hot?"
"Or did your fire-attribute martial soul burn you?"
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and laughed, her sly gaze like that of a fox spirit.
"Hahaha... I'm just wearing a little too much..."
"You're joking, little sister."
Huo Wu's mouth twitched. Even though she felt awful, she still maintained her smile.
Damn it!
In a few years, she would bully Su Li mercilessly right in front of this little brat!
So infuriating!!!
