Storms Gather

"No matter what, I still have to thank you! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have escaped their plundering either!"

Hearing Han Yue's gratitude, Fa Wutian said dismissively, "Don't thank me. After all, I never intended to bring you along from the start. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself. If you hadn't had the foresight, you probably wouldn't have escaped this ordeal either! But you've seen the situation now. In a while, I'll be robbing the senior students' teams, so you..."

Upon hearing this, how could Han Yue not understand what Fa Wutian meant?

He simply thought she was too weak and feared she would hold him back!

However, after calming down and thinking it over carefully, she also felt it would be better not to stay by his side.

After all, judging from those people just now, the senior students' teams were definitely not weak!

If she insisted on going along, she might end up getting herself killed!

Still, she had also realized that Fa Wutian's strength was far from as simple as what he had displayed during the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

His strength was probably already close to that of a Dou Spirit!

Otherwise, he would not have so easily taken down five Dou Grandmasters of considerable rank.

Thinking of this, Han Yue could only sigh. "In that case, I can only wish you good luck!"

"Mm. Goodbye!"

With that, Fa Wutian immediately activated Wind-Swept Shadow and left the area.

Seeing this, a bitter smile appeared on Han Yue's pretty face.

Am I really that unwelcome?

Thinking of this, Han Yue could only sigh helplessly.

Afterward, she decided to set off later.

After all, now that she knew the purpose of this competition, she was no longer worried about whether she would be the first to arrive.

Besides, who knew how many senior students' teams were waiting for them ahead?

Rather than rushing to deliver Fire Energy to the senior students, she might as well wait for Fa Wutian to deal with them before heading to the meeting point!

Thus, she leaned against a large tree and rested with peace of mind.

Looking in the direction Fa Wutian had left, she muttered, "He must still be plundering the senior students' Fire Energy right now."

And indeed, just as she had thought, Fa Wutian rushed onward with Wind-Swept Shadow while using his soul power to locate the senior students.

"Found them!"

Sensing the presence of a Six-Star Dou Grandmaster ahead, Fa Wutian immediately confirmed that they were the targets he was searching for.

After all, among their group, aside from himself, even Lin Xiuya—the strongest—was only a Four-Star Dou Grandmaster!

At that moment, atop a tree, a thin figure spotted Fa Wutian and immediately shouted to the people below, "Boss, a fat sheep is coming! Judging by the movement technique he's using, he must be worth a fortune!"

"Oh? Interesting! I thought Black-and-White Fiends had already snatched all the biggest prizes this time. I didn't expect there would still be a fish that slipped through the net! Looks like even Heaven couldn't stand it anymore. This immense fortune has finally fallen into our hands! Hahaha! Brothers, move! Let's welcome our God of Wealth!"

"Let's go! Hahaha!"

With that, the group rushed toward Fa Wutian.

Meanwhile, when Fa Wutian sensed that his prey was actually delivering itself to his doorstep, he immediately felt that these senior students had excellent service—they even knew to make deliveries!

Fa Wutian could not help feeling deeply moved.

If this had been his previous life, he definitely would have given them a five-star review!

Before long, the two groups met.

Seeing that Fa Wutian not only did not run upon seeing them but even approached them voluntarily, the group was utterly dumbfounded.

"Boss, what's wrong with this guy? He isn't running even after seeing us. Was he scared stupid by the people ahead?"

Hearing this, the leader frowned slightly.

"Who cares? Since he has fallen into our hands, he naturally has to leave behind his Fire Energy!"

With that, he prepared to capture Fa Wutian.

Fa Wutian did not waste time with them. After swiftly ending the battle, he plundered their Fire Energy.

Looking at the additional thousand units of Fire Energy on his Fire Energy Card, Fa Wutian was overjoyed.

Looks like I guessed right! These powerful teams had more Fire Energy!

Recalling that there were seven teams in this Fire Energy Hunting Tournament and that he had already dealt with two of them.

Among the five remaining teams, there were also the two powerful groups known as the Black-and-White Fiends!

Thinking of this, Fa Wutian could not help looking forward to it.

I hope the Fire Energy in their pockets won't disappoint me!

In an open clearing.

The two top senior student teams of the Black-and-White Fiends had gathered here in a rare occurrence.

"Luo Feng, why did you call us here? Don't tell me you want to test your strength against us and decide who gets the remaining Fire Energy?"

Hearing this, Luo Feng, captain of the White Fiend Team, replied, "Chen Liang, I didn't call you here for that."

"Then why?"

"I don't know if you've noticed, but at the beginning, it was very easy for us to seize the newcomers' Fire Energy. But now, it's hard to find any newcomers traveling alone! So I suspect they've formed groups! Also, I learned from the other teams that there is a powerful newcomer who actually robbed them instead! And he was alone!"

"Oh? Someone like that exists?"

Hearing this, Chen Liang immediately became interested.

Someone capable of facing so many Dou Grandmasters of considerable rank alone probably was not much weaker than the two of them!

"Looks like the academy recruited a monster this time!"

"No matter how monstrous he is, we must defeat him! Otherwise, once we return, we'll surely become the laughingstock of others!"

"Of course I know that! I refuse to believe that a newcomer who hasn't even entered the Inner Academy can defeat us! Besides, this isn't the Outer Academy. Even if he's a dragon, he has to coil up; even if he's a tiger, he has to lie down!"

Hearing this, Luo Feng faintly felt a trace of unease, as if the person they would encounter this time would become the nightmare of their lives!

Meanwhile.

Lin Xiuya had gathered the remaining newcomers and was discussing how to break through the senior students' encirclement.

Han Yue was among them as well!

After parting with Fa Wutian, she had rested for a while before heading toward the destination.

However, what she had not expected was that the five people Fa Wutian had robbed earlier actually returned.

After confirming that Fa Wutian was not around, the five prepared to recover their losses from Han Yue.

After a fierce battle, Han Yue knew she was no match for them and hurriedly fled in the direction Fa Wutian had gone.

When she was exhausted, Lin Xiuya and the others arrived in time and saved her.

Thus, she naturally joined them.

"Lin Xiuya, what should we do next?"

After learning the specifics of the competition from Han Yue, Lin Yan could not help asking.

Now that the strongest among them, Fa Wutian, was nowhere to be found, everyone had placed their hopes on Lin Xiuya.

Hearing this, Lin Xiuya pondered for a moment.

Only then did he slowly say, "With our strength, even if we were tied together, we still wouldn't be a match for the senior students! Our only hope is to split up! That way, someone will surely reach the destination safely!"

"Isn't that the same as before?"

Hearing Lin Xiuya's suggestion, everyone was greatly disappointed.

They had also acted alone before, only to be plundered one by one by the senior students!

However, everyone understood that this was their only option now.

After all, they could not defeat the senior students either.
