That afternoon, Xu Ran returned to Heaven Dou City with Qian Renxue and Huo Wu.
During that time, Huo Wu had still been somewhat defiant when she met Qian Renxue, but after witnessing her strength, she immediately quieted down. Crouching tigers and hidden dragons surrounded Xu Ran, with countless geniuses among them. Even Shui Bing'er and the others were so strong.

"I'm not lying, and I suspect you have that sort of constitution yourself," Xu Ran teased as he led Huo Wu toward Shrek Academy.
"Hmph, I do not.
