Goddesses Had Ranks Too

The young man before Feng Xiaotian was also surnamed Feng. His name was Feng Lingyu, and he was a member of the Godwind Academy team, which had only been formed a few months ago.

He was only seventeen, with the Wind-Chasing Eagle Martial Soul and Soul Power at rank thirty-one!

On the entire Godwind Academy team, aside from Feng Xiaotian himself, who had Soul Power at rank thirty-eight, the highest anyone else had reached was rank thirty-four.

After all, it had been less than a year since the last Advanced Soul Master Tournament. The previous team's members and all students above rank thirty who were over twenty-one had already graduated.

There were still four years until the next Advanced Soul Master Tournament's qualifiers. Students over twenty-one would have turned twenty-five by then, so even if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to compete.

Thus, everyone who stayed was under twenty-one, and their Soul Power wasn't particularly high. Naturally, there weren't many of them.

Those who stayed had only one goal: to try to compete in the next Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Never mind being a main competitor-even as a substitute, being able to compete and show one's face at the Advanced Soul Master Tournament could win one a brilliant future. It would also raise one's standing and value.

With Soul Power at rank thirty-eight, Feng Xiaotian was the Godwind Academy team's undisputed captain and the heart of the team.

Led by Feng Lingyu, Feng Xiaotian soon arrived at the academy square.

Three carriages stood there, with several horses lined up beside them.

Everyone looked in the direction Feng Xiaotian was coming from. When he arrived, nearly every team member stepped forward and called, "Captain!"

They were exceptionally respectful!

Feng Xiaotian smiled and nodded. "Sorry to have kept everyone waiting."

Feng Xiaotian passed through the crowd and came before an old man and another middle-aged man. "Vice Dean Cheng, Teacher Feng He!"

Vice Dean Cheng looked to be in his sixties. He was lean and vigorous, with a few sparse white whiskers on his chin. As the academy's vice dean, he had Soul Power at rank seventy-six.

Because he had suffered injuries in his early years, his Soul Power had made no progress in ten years, and he couldn't even use his Seventh Soul Skill!

Some said that if Vice Dean Cheng hadn't been injured, he might already have been a Soul Douluo above rank eighty.

If Vice Dean Cheng hadn't wanted to visit an old friend at Blazing Fire Academy, he wouldn't have gone with them this time.

Vice Dean Cheng looked at Feng Xiaotian with a kindly expression. "Xiaotian, we're counting on you this time!"

Feng Xiaotian said, "We'll all have to work hard together! This is a seven-against-seven team battle, after all. I can't beat all seven opponents on my own."

Hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Vice Dean Cheng nodded in satisfaction. "Good. It seems you're capable of being a qualified captain now!"

"This Five Elements Academy Exchange Tournament is being held at Blazing Fire Academy, which is relatively close to our academy. It's getting late, so let's set off. We'll try to arrive by this evening!"

Of the three carriages, Vice Dean Cheng had one to himself. Teacher Feng He sat in the second with three students, while the last naturally carried only four students as well.

As for the horses beside them, there were another six students!

These were all the current members of Godwind Academy's advanced class. Including Feng Xiaotian, there were only thirteen team members who were Soul Elders above rank thirty.

Apart from Feng Xiaotian, none of them could truly be considered a final member of the team.

As time passed, more people would rise above rank thirty over the next four years.

There would be more and more people in the advanced class, all competing for the final twelve spots!

Seven main competitors and five substitutes-this lineup was enough to handle every match in the Soul Master Tournament!

Feng Xiaotian chose not to ride in a carriage. He voluntarily gave his seat to a female student and mounted a horse himself.

After all, he had only just transmigrated. Although he had all the memories, Feng Xiaotian still wanted to avoid close contact with everyone.

Besides, by choosing to ride, he also wanted to learn more about the system's functions.

As the convoy left the academy, Feng Xiaotian kept his balance while focusing his attention on the system.

Feng Xiaotian thought, System, I see there are three female students on the team, and they're all pretty good-looking. How about I pursue them?

In the advanced class of thirteen, there weren't many female Soul Masters, only three.

As for their looks, Feng Xiaotian thought they were all quite good. They could have competed with some stars on television.

[System detection commencing...]

[Feng Yu, looks 85, charm 81, temperament 78, overall 81. Does not meet the requirements for a goddess!]

[Luo Xin, looks 87, charm 88, temperament 82, overall 87. Does not meet the requirements for a goddess!]

[Qin Lan, looks 80, charm 83, temperament 91, overall 85. Does not meet the requirements for a goddess!]

"System, why is that? All three of them look pretty good to me!" Feng Xiaotian asked curiously.

If these three female students had been in his previous life, any of them could have played the leading lady in any drama.

Yet here, they didn't even count as goddesses?

[Host's standards are too low. A goddess's overall score for the three attributes must be above 90!]

The system had actually looked down on him!

[Those with scores of 90-95 may be called Ordinary Goddesses, those with scores of 96-99 may be called Elite Goddesses, and those with a score of 100 are Perfect Goddesses!]

[The host may only use the system's Simp Coins on goddesses with an overall score of 90 or above for the three attributes!]

"All right, system, your standards are high!"

Looks like I need to raise my standards too. I can't keep looking at them like the single dog I was for over twenty years in my previous life.

It was said that for some people who had been single for thirty or forty years, any woman they came across was a goddess! As for those who had been single even longer, they were harder to describe. Perhaps any female would do.

Goddesses weren't easy to come across now, so Feng Xiaotian could only wait until they reached Blazing Fire Academy to look for an opportunity.

Huo Wu was a well-known beauty in Douluo, so she ought to qualify as a goddess, right?

Feng Xiaotian then looked at the system again. Besides the exchange panel, there was also his character panel and a goddess panel.

Host: Feng Xiaotian

Status: Healthy

Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf

Soul Power: Rank 38

Soul Rings: Yellow, yellow, purple

Available Simp Coins: 0

This was Feng Xiaotian's current system panel. He looked at the goddess panel, but it was completely blank, with nothing on it!

The carriages traveled slowly from sunrise until the blazing sun hung high overhead.

After four hours on the road, they were somewhat tired, and it was time to find a place to eat lunch and rest.

Just then, however, the system's voice rang out.

[Ding... A goddess has been detected 500 meters ahead. Host, please go pursue her as soon as possible!]

"A goddess?"

Feng Xiaotian looked up. Five hundred meters ahead was a grove, with several carriages beneath the trees.

Judging by their decorations, the carriages were water-blue overall, and the emblem of Skywater Academy was faintly visible.

No wonder the system had alerted him to a goddess nearby. It turned out they had run into the Tianshui Girl Group.

Feng Xiaotian came to the first carriage. "Vice Dean Cheng, there's a dense grove ahead that's suitable for a rest. It looks like Skywater Academy is resting there too!"

Vice Dean Cheng said, "We've run into Skywater Academy? Then let's go there too!"

[System detecting...]

[Shui Bing'er, looks 91, charm 92, temperament 93, overall 92. Meets the standard for an Ordinary Goddess. Age 15. None of her attributes have reached their peak!]
