Qian Renxue: Meeting Again! Huo Wu's Kiss!

Ye Lingling did not let go immediately.

She carefully sensed it for a moment, and a trace of delight appeared in her eyes.

"The healing ability of the Nine-Heart Begonia has improved."

"That lotus petal is still inside my martial soul."

"It can continue in the future."

Lin Tian looked at her.

"A payment is required."

Ye Lingling raised her face.

"What do you want?"

"I haven't decided yet."

"Then I'll owe you for now."

She tucked the long hair that had fallen across her chest behind her ear.

"When you decide, you can come find me."

Hu Liena stepped between them.

"The examination is over."

"The captain still needs rest."

Ye Lingling looked at her.

"Alright."

She stood up.

Her long dress fell along her slender legs.

When she reached the door, Ye Lingling looked back once more.

"Lin Tian."

"If you need treatment next time, you can come directly to me."

"I won't charge you."

The door closed again.

Hu Liena turned to look at Lin Tian.

"She's very enthusiastic toward you."

"The Nine-Heart Begonia needs the life force of the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus."

"Is it only because of her martial soul?"

Hu Liena walked up to Lin Tian.

She lifted one leg, pressing her knee against the edge of the bench.

Her black-stockinged leg rested against Lin Tian's waist.

"When you supported her just now, where did you put your hand?"

"On her waist."

"Was her waist soft?"

"It was alright."

Hu Liena's brows knitted slightly.

"Compared to mine?"

Lin Tian's hand settled on her waist again.

Hu Liena smoothly sat on his lap.

Her white-gold short skirt rode up slightly.

Her black-stockinged legs pressed against Lin Tian's side.

"Now you can compare."

She wrapped her arms around Lin Tian's neck.

"Go on."

"Yours is softer."

Hu Liena finally smiled.

"That's more like it."

Footsteps sounded outside the lounge once more.

This time, the visitor did not knock.

"Looks like my timing isn't very appropriate either."

Xue Qinghe stood in the doorway.

She wore golden royal robes.

Her golden hair was neatly bound beneath a hair crown.

The swan emblem on her collar gleamed with a pale golden luster beneath the lights.

Hu Liena rose from Lin Tian's lap.

She was not flustered, merely straightening her short skirt.

"Your Highness."

Xue Qinghe entered the room.

"I came to congratulate Spirit Hall Academy on its victory."

Hu Liena glanced at her.

"Is Your Highness only congratulating the captain?"

"Every member of Spirit Hall Academy performed exceptionally."

Xue Qinghe walked up to Lin Tian.

"However, the one who shattered the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique truly was him."

Lin Tian leaned back against the bench.

"Two years have passed, and you're still the Heaven Dou Crown Prince."

"Yet you've already become a fifty-first-rank Soul King."

Xue Qinghe sat opposite him.

"Back in the Great Star Dou Forest, you only had two Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings."

"Even then, I knew you would grow quickly."

"But I never expected you to reach Soul King in only two years."

"The pace is alright."

"Among the younger generation across the continent, no one would dare call such a pace merely alright."

Xue Qinghe looked at Lin Tian.

"Tang San gathered the Soul Power of seven people, and his aura had already approached that of a Soul Sage."

"Yet you reached him in only a few steps."

"The Blue Silver Prison, Blue Silver Thorn Array, and all those hidden weapons were completely ineffective."

"Your true strength is likely already enough to contend with a Soul Sage."

Lin Tian did not deny it.

"An ordinary Soul Sage is no match for me."

Hu Liena stood to one side.

She had known the answer long ago.

Yet Xue Qinghe still paused for a moment.

A fifty-first-rank Soul King confronting a Soul Sage head-on.

If those words came from anyone else, they would only sound arrogant.

But when Lin Tian said them, no one could question him.

When he was at rank twenty-three, he had been able to kill a fifteen-thousand-year Blackwood Jiao.

Now, after fifty-one Tank Engine enhancements and obtaining dozens of Attribute Forgers,

an ordinary Soul Sage truly had little chance of victory against him.

Xue Qinghe picked up the teacup on the table.

"The opponent for the next match has already been decided."

"Blazing Fire Academy."

"Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang have both reached Soul Ancestor."

"The seven members of Blazing Fire Academy work together with great proficiency."

Lin Tian stood up.

"The result will not change."

Xue Qinghe rose as well.

She came to Lin Tian's side.

Their shoulders nearly touched.

"Two years ago, you promised me that we would meet at the Soul Master Tournament."

"Now we have met."

"When do you plan to take a walk alone with me?"

Hu Liena raised her eyes toward Xue Qinghe.

Lin Tian answered, "After the tournament ends."

"Alright."

Xue Qinghe nodded.

"I'll wait for you."

The next day.

Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

Spirit Hall Academy and Blazing Fire Academy stepped onto the stage at the same time.

Huo Wushuang stood at the very front of his team.

His crimson academy uniform wrapped around his muscular body.

The One-Horned Flame Tyrannosaur martial soul appeared behind him.

Huo Wu stood in the center of her team.

A crimson short dress clung to her slender waist.

Its hem hung above her fair thighs.

Red boots covered her calves.

Her fiery red hair was tied into a high ponytail behind her head.

She lifted her fair chin and looked at Lin Tian across from her.

"Captain of Spirit Hall."

"I heard you have already defeated Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shrek."

"But Blazing Fire Academy will not admit defeat."

Lin Tian stood at the center of the Soul Battle Platform.

"Then make your move."

The referee raised his right hand.

"The match begins!"

The seven members of Blazing Fire Academy released their martial souls simultaneously.

Crimson flames surged across the Soul Battle Platform.

The third Soul Ring beneath Huo Wushuang's feet lit up.

Dragon scales covered his arms as he charged straight at Lin Tian.

The other two assault-type Soul Masters flanked him from both sides.

Huo Wu stood at the rear of the team.

She brought her hands together before her.

A massive fiery phantom emerged behind her.

"Flame Repulsion Ring!"

The crimson ring of light rapidly spread outward.

Yan was just about to step forward when Lin Tian had already raised an arm.

"You don't need to move."

Hu Liena stopped in her tracks.

Xie Yue withdrew his Moon Blades.

Lin Tian walked alone toward the seven members of Blazing Fire Academy.

Huo Wushuang was the first to reach him.

His dragon-scale-covered fist crashed down heavily.

Lin Tian raised his hand and caught his fist directly.

Crimson flames spread along his arm.

His black-gold fitted outfit was scorched by the flames, yet showed no damage.

Lin Tian clenched his five fingers.

The dragon scales on Huo Wushuang's arm shattered one after another.

"What?"

The next moment, Lin Tian raised his hand and flung it.

Huo Wushuang crashed into two teammates.

All three of them flew off the Soul Battle Platform.

The Flame Repulsion Ring had already reached Lin Tian.

Crimson light struck his body.

Lin Tian did not retreat.

He took a step forward.

Boom!

The Flame Repulsion Ring exploded from the center.

Huo Wu's body swayed, her crimson skirt billowing backward in the surge of Soul Power.

Her two fair legs were fully exposed.

She immediately steadied herself.

"Huo Wu's Blazing Sun!"

Her fourth Soul Ring lit up.

Crimson and golden light gathered above her palms.

A flaming orb more than three meters in diameter slowly rose.

The scorching temperature rapidly melted the stone slabs of the Soul Battle Platform.

The remaining three teammates poured all their Soul Power into Huo Wu's body.

The flaming orb continued to expand.

Heat waves rolled through the stands.

Lin Tian raised his head.

"Is this your strongest soul skill?"

Huo Wu swung both arms down.

"Catch it first, then talk!"

The enormous fireball fell from the sky.

Lin Tian did not release his Soul Rings.

He raised his right hand and threw a punch at Huo Wu's Blazing Sun.

Bang!

The flaming orb stopped in midair.

The air before his fist compressed into a white shockwave.

The entire blazing sun caved in from the center.

The next instant, the crimson light shattered completely.

Flames scattered in every direction across the Soul Battle Platform.

Lin Tian walked out of the firelight.

His long hair was blown backward by the heat wave.

His black-and-gold fitted outfit remained perfectly neat.

Huo Wu stood where she was.

More than half of her Soul Power had been consumed.

Her fair cheeks were flushed from the heat.

Several strands of hair at her forehead were damp with sweat.

Her crimson skirt clung to her figure.

Her long, slender legs were drawn taut.

Watching Lin Tian approach, she raised her hands again.

"I haven't lost yet."

Lin Tian arrived before her.

"Your Soul Power is already exhausted."

"I can still fight."

Huo Wu lifted her leg in a sweeping kick.

Her red boot trailed fire as it shot toward Lin Tian's waist.

Lin Tian caught her ankle.

Her fair, long leg stopped in midair.

Huo Wu stood on one leg, her body losing balance.

She reached out and grabbed Lin Tian's shoulder.

The distance between them rapidly closed.

Her fiery red hair swept across Lin Tian's chest.

"Let go."

"Didn't you say you could still fight?"

Lin Tian raised her leg higher.

Huo Wu could only press closer against him.

Her crimson skirt rode up along her thigh.

Her fair skin stood out especially beneath the sunlight.

Her cheeks grew redder and redder.

"Put my leg down first."

"Surrender."

"I won't."

Lin Tian released her ankle.

Just as Huo Wu was about to retreat, a green vine shot up from beneath the stone slabs.

The vine wrapped around her waist and lifted her into the air.

The other three Blazing Fire Academy members launched their soul skills at the same time.

Lin Tian slapped forward.

A green lotus leaf swept across the platform.

All the flames were extinguished.

The three of them flew off the Soul Battle Platform and landed beside Huo Wushuang.

Only Huo Wu remained from Blazing Fire Academy.

The vine slowly descended.

She landed before Lin Tian once more.

Her waist was still bound by the vine.

Her crimson skirt had been lifted slightly.

Her two fair, slender legs were pressed together.

Huo Wu tried to break free, but the vine only tightened.

The green vine completely outlined her slender waist.

"Lin Tian."

"Do you really have to keep me trapped like this?"

"You haven't surrendered."

Huo Wu raised her eyes.

The red eye shadow added a touch of seductive allure to her pretty face.

She moved closer.

Her full figure pressed against Lin Tian's chest.

"Can you bear to make me stand like this the whole time?"

Lin Tian looked down at her.

"Is this your plan?"

"It doesn't work on you?"

Huo Wu placed her hands on Lin Tian's shoulders.

She tilted up her face.

Her red lips were only a short distance from Lin Tian's.

The discussions in the stands quickly grew louder.

Hu Liena stood among the Spirit Hall team, her brows already furrowed.

Huo Wu ignored her surroundings.

Her waist was bound by the vine, leaving her body able only to press against Lin Tian.

"Let me go."

"Surrender."

"You really don't know how to treat a woman gently."

"The match isn't over yet."

Huo Wu stared at him for a moment.

Then she suddenly smiled.

"Fine."

"I surrender."

The referee immediately raised his right hand.

"Match over!"

"The winners are Spirit Hall Academy!"

The green vine slowly loosened.

Huo Wu's feet touched the ground.

She did not leave immediately.

Her delicate hand lightly traced across Lin Tian's shoulder.

"The next time we meet, I won't lose again."

"The result will be the same."

"That may not be so."

Huo Wu straightened her crimson skirt.

She turned and walked toward Blazing Fire Academy.

Her fiery red hair swayed gently with each step.

Her fair, beautiful legs alternated beneath her skirt, drawing countless gazes.

Hu Liena came to Lin Tian's side.

She watched Huo Wu's departing figure.

"She was trying to seduce you just now."

"I know."

"Do you think she's pretty?"

"She's alright."

"What about her legs?"

Lin Tian looked at Hu Liena.

Black stockings wrapped around her long, slender legs.

"They're not as pretty as yours."

Hu Liena's brows relaxed.

She took the initiative to link her arm through Lin Tian's.

"Good, you know how to talk."

The two of them walked down from the Soul Battle Platform side by side.

Xie Yue and Yan led the remaining team members behind them.

On the viewing platform.

Xue Qinghe watched Lin Tian's departing figure.

A level fifty-one Soul King had not released a single Soul Ring.

Relying only on physical strength, he had shattered Huo Wu's Blazing Sun head-on.

From beginning to end, Blazing Fire Academy's seven members had not made him take even one step back.

She gently set down her teacup.

"He won again."

Ning Fengzhi sat beside her.

"Lin Tian's strength can no longer be measured by the standards of a Soul King."

"Qinghe, it seems you have a very good relationship with him."

Xue Qinghe did not deny it.

"We've known each other for a long time."

Her gaze remained fixed on Lin Tian.

"He was stronger than he had been two years ago."

"And even more dazzling than I expected."

Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

The match had already ended.

Lin Tian led the Spirit Hall Academy team out of the passageway.

Hu Liena still had her arm looped through his.

Black stockings clung to her long legs, and her golden boots stepped across the stone slabs.

She did not walk quickly.

Their shoulders remained pressed together.

"Huo Wu was very close to you just now."

"It was necessary for the match."

Lin Tian looked ahead.

Hu Liena raised her face.

"Her hand was on your shoulder."

"She wanted me to let go of the vines."

"She even pressed her body against you."

"She couldn't beat me."

Hu Liena stopped walking.

Her light brown hair slipped down from her shoulders.

Her platinum uniform hugged her slender waist, and her legs beneath the short skirt drew gently together.

"If she could beat you, would she be allowed to get even closer?"

Lin Tian glanced at her.

"Are you jealous?"

"No."

Hu Liena immediately denied it.

Yet her grip on Lin Tian's arm tightened slightly.

"I'm only reminding the captain not to let people from other academies get close to him so easily."

"You're getting close to me too."

"I'm different."

"How are you different?"

Hu Liena lifted her chin.

"I'm your teammate."

"And I was the first one to stand by your side."

Lin Tian stopped before the entrance to the rest area.

"So?"

She stepped in front of Lin Tian.

Her fair palm landed on his chest, gently smoothing down the black-and-gold lapel.

"So you can't only remember her legs."

"I didn't only remember her legs."

"Then what do you remember?"

"Her Huo Wu's Blazing Sun was very weak."

Hu Liena could not hold back her laugh.

The trace of displeasure between her brows finally faded considerably.

"That was a decent answer."

She rose onto her tiptoes.

Her red lips lightly brushed Lin Tian's cheek.

"This is your reward."

Lin Tian raised a hand and held her waist.

Just as Hu Liena was about to pull away, her body was already pressed back against his chest.

"What are you doing?"

"The reward was too little."

"This is outside the rest area."

"Who was the one who kissed me first just now?"

She glanced around.

Xie Yue and Yan had already led the others away.

Only the two of them remained in the corridor.

Hu Liena lifted her arms and wrapped them around Lin Tian's neck.

"Then I'll reward you once more."

She rose onto her tiptoes again.

Just as the distance between them narrowed, footsteps sounded from the other side.
