"Damn it, let my brother go!"
Although Huo Wu's soul power level was higher than Zhu Zhuqing's, seeing Sageross toss Huo Wushuang into the air and whip him around like a spinning top left her with no desire to keep fighting.
"Fine, take him back!"
Lin En curled his lip, raised his hand, and threw Huo Wushuang straight at Huo Wu.
The Soul Rings on Huo Wu's body suddenly lit up. Dazzling light erupted from her east wind, merging with a golden-red halo, and a brilliant ring of flame burst outward, securely catching the rapidly falling Huo Wushuang in midair.
Lin En descended from the sky and landed beside Zhu Zhuqing.
"Blazing Fire's strength isn't much either. Zhu Zhuqing, I think we should check out the next academy!"
Lin En shook his head.
Although the girls at Blazing Fire were easy on the eyes, their strength really wasn't impressive. He needed to join a team that could help him fight for the overall championship.
Oh, not one, not two, and not three...
But four, five, six, seven!
He wanted to fight alongside his brothers in Soul Fighting!
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a long while. "...I'll follow your lead."
Hearing their exchange, Huo Wu froze in astonishment. So they had come to challenge them because they were looking for a strong team?
"Wait..."
Eager to keep the two of them, Huo Wu hurriedly spoke up.
Lin En stopped and turned, looking at her with some confusion.
"Um, you're here to enroll, right?"
"Yeah. I originally wanted to see what your Blazing Fire Academy was capable of, but this is it?"
Lin En shook his head, looking somewhat disappointed.
"Although we aren't as strong as you, our Blazing Fire Academy still ranks near the top among the Four Elements Academy. Perhaps you could join us and fight for the overall championship together!"
A flicker of excitement flashed through Huo Wu's eyes. She extended her fair, delicate hand and invited Lin En.
"Come join our Blazing Fire Team!"
"I think we'll pass. You're too weak. We're heading to Godwind Academy. See you!"
Lin En withdrew his gaze and waved, leaving with Zhu Zhuqing.
A trace of disappointment flashed through Huo Wu's eyes.
Huo Wushuang grimaced in pain as he watched their retreating figures. "Who exactly are they? How are they so strong?"
Huo Wu shook her head, a complicated look flickering in her eyes.
Godwind Academy.
Lin En repeated the same approach. Blazing Fire and Godwind were evenly matched, and after he easily defeated a few people, Feng Xiaotian came out to hold the fort.
"You're the ones who defeated Brother Huo and little sister Huo Wu?"
A young man in a blue-green school uniform spoke gravely, his eyes fixed on Lin En and Zhu Zhuqing.
This was none other than the Divine Wind Team's captain, Feng Xiaotian!
"Oh? You're... Feng Xiaotian?"
Lin En studied him with interest. His looks were average, his build somewhat lean, and there was nothing visibly special about him.
Come to think of it, Feng Xiaotian was also one of Douluo's rare sources of amusement. He had liked Huo Wu for so many years, yet he still couldn't compare to Tang San, whom she had only met a few times.
More importantly, Huo Wu had been the one to make the damn first move. He really was quite the hopeless simp!
In short... Wind Feifei!
"That's right. Since you had the guts to come to my Godwind Academy, I'll get justice for little sister Huo Wu."
Feng Xiaotian snorted coldly, his gaze razor-sharp.
"Come on, let me see just what you're capable of!"
Lin En nodded slightly, his expression calm.
Although Feng Xiaotian was something of a clown when it came to romance, his talent was far from poor. His Martial Soul was the extremely rare Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.
A genius like him should have focused on cultivating and shone brilliantly in the Soul Master Tournament.
Instead, he insisted on tinkering with that Self-Created Soul Skill of his. He really was riding a donkey while looking for a horse!
"Come out, Sageross!"
"Saa-"
Sageross flashed into view in front of Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian was only briefly startled by this and did not panic. Clearly, he had already gotten word from Blazing Fire Academy.
"Feng Xiaotian, captain of Godwind Academy. Level forty-two power attack system Battle Soul Ancestor. Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf."
"Tell me your name. I, Feng Xiaotian, never fight nameless nobodies!"
Feng Xiaotian assumed a fighting stance and beckoned provocatively at Lin En.
"My name is Lin En. Also, you really are full of yourself!"
Expressionless, Lin En coldly ordered Sageross to attack.
"Take this! I'll defeat you with my Self-Created Soul Skill. Watch out!"
"Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes!"
Feng Xiaotian let out a piercing howl and soared into the sky, then plunged down like a shooting star chasing the moon.
"Saa-"
"Let's see whether your wing blades are more formidable, or Sageross's scythe blades are stronger!"
Lin En saw through Feng Xiaotian's plan at a glance, his expression growing even more confident. He believed that Sageross would never lose.
Sageross swept both blades across, easily repelling Feng Xiaotian's first wing-blade strike.
Feng Xiaotian calmly adjusted his range and dove again, this time with even greater force than before.
Bang, bang, bang...
In a flash, Feng Xiaotian and Sageross had already clashed more than a dozen times.
Powerful ripples of energy instantly drove back the other Godwind Academy students watching the spectacle. They stared in horror at the two figures repeatedly colliding in midair.
From this angle, it hardly looked like a fight between Soul Masters. It looked more like two Soul Saints flying through the sky and trading energy blasts.
Terrifying ripples of energy swept outward. Clouds shattered, blades sliced through the air, and unleashed aftershocks filled the surroundings.
Fortunately, their battle remained confined to the blue sky. If it had descended to the ground near Godwind Academy, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"Sageross, counter with Demon King Flame Strike Wave, then knock him down with Tooth-Linked Assault."
Over Feng Xiaotian's dozen or so attacks, Lin En had already thoroughly grasped his fighting style.
Since that was the case, it was his turn to strike back!
"Saa-"
Sageross's dark-red eyes instantly turned a vivid crimson, as though blood might drip from them. Both blades sank, and a terrifying energy shock wave surged straight toward Feng Xiaotian.
And its target lay right along his habitual flight path.
As a result, rather than looking like Sageross had attacked, it looked more like Feng Xiaotian had flown into it himself.
"What?"
Feng Xiaotian's face drained of color in shock. He could only watch helplessly as the shock wave struck him.
But it wasn't over yet. Just as Feng Xiaotian thought the attack had completely passed and he sank into weakness, countless streams of dragon-fang sword energy shot across the sky again, firing continuously from the scythe blades toward him.
Blade light danced wildly through the air. Feeling that it was about enough, Lin En ordered Sageross to stop before he ended up killing Feng Xiaotian.
Seriously injuring him would do!
As the dragon fangs stopped flying, Feng Xiaotian's figure came back into view.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, he had used his wings to lessen the damage, keeping himself from being seriously injured.
"Such formidable blades... I lost!"
Feng Xiaotian descended from the sky, his aura immediately weakening. Then his cheeks suddenly flushed red, and he spat out a jet of blood mixed with small clots.
