His Injuries Flare Up Again; Cheng Cheng Pledges to Follow Feng Xiaotian's Orders

Feng Xiaotian raced all the way back to the courtyard where Godwind Academy was staying.

Though he and Cheng Cheng weren't particularly close, the level seventy-six Soul Saint was still worth saving.

After all, he was the academy's vice dean, a force completely loyal to Godwind Academy.

As soon as Feng Xiaotian entered the courtyard, Huo Yan seemed to know he had arrived.

Huo Yan opened the door to Cheng Cheng's room and came over to Feng Xiaotian. A hint of appreciation showed in his eyes as he said, "I didn't like you that much before, because you were always hanging around my granddaughter, but now it seems you're a very decent young man. Keep it up! Old Cheng is waiting for you inside. He might not have much time left!"

Feng Xiaotian nodded without a word and walked past Huo Yan.

Watching Feng Xiaotian enter the room, Huo Yan murmured, "Old Cheng, perhaps he really can help you fulfill the wish you couldn't."

When Feng Xiaotian entered the room, he saw Cheng Cheng lying on the bed. He had already coughed up quite a bit of blood beside his clothes.

Knowing Feng Xiaotian had arrived, Cheng Cheng struggled to turn onto his side. His voice was somewhat weak as he said, "I thought I could hold out for another year or two. I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Cheng Cheng's injuries were internal, and he had been suppressing them with his own Soul Power.

He didn't have Soul Power as strong as Tang Hao's. After all, he was only level seventy-six.

Feng Xiaotian said, "Vice Dean Cheng, you'll definitely be all right!"

Tears welled in Cheng Cheng's eyes. He was unwilling to accept it, but all he could do was say helplessly, "I know my own body. I won't be able to help you anymore. Actually, Xiaotian, you don't have to avenge me in the future either. That might put you in danger and make an enemy of Spirit Hall."

Perhaps Cheng Cheng felt bad about it now. After all, he had scarcely done anything to help Feng Xiaotian.

Asking him to avenge him like that was rather hard to justify.

Cheng Cheng was one of Godwind Academy's own, so naturally Feng Xiaotian wouldn't stand by and watch him die. He said, "Vice Dean Cheng, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Perhaps you'll be able to take revenge yourself someday."

Cheng Cheng said weakly, "No, I can't. I really can't go on."

But the next moment, Feng Xiaotian held a small reddish-brown pill in front of Cheng Cheng.

Feng Xiaotian said, "Take this. It should ease your injuries."

It was a healing pill redeemed from the system, and it had cost Feng Xiaotian ten thousand Wolf Warrior Coins.

"It's no use!" Cheng Cheng's instinct was to refuse.

Feng Xiaotian said, "How would you know without taking it? Vice Dean Cheng, if you trust me, then take it."

Cheng Cheng was already at death's door. After thinking it over, he decided to trust Feng Xiaotian.

"All right, I'll take it!"

After swallowing the pill, Cheng Cheng felt nothing at first. But after a dozen or so breaths, a gentle energy spread from his abdomen.

When that energy entered his internal organs, it began repairing his injuries at an astonishing speed.

Feng Xiaotian immediately said, "Vice Dean Cheng, circulate your Soul Power to help heal your internal injuries."

Cheng Cheng immediately circulated his Soul Power to assist.

About half an hour later, Cheng Cheng opened his eyes again. He was noticeably more spirited, and some color and a smile had returned to his face.

Cheng Cheng said, "Xiaotian, what kind of medicine is this? How can it be so effective against my injuries? I feel even better than I did a year ago."

Feng Xiaotian said, "Dean, I came across this medicine by chance. There's another pill here. Take it and use it in seven days. Next time, you might recover even more."

There was another pill in the jade-colored bottle!

Feng Xiaotian had redeemed two pills, each worth ten thousand Wolf Warrior Coins.

Ten thousand Wolf Warrior Coins had tremendous purchasing power. They could be exchanged for an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring in the system.

Although it was ordinary and of poorer quality, it was still a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and couldn't be all that bad.

Given Cheng Cheng's injuries, exchanging fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins for a Soul Skill, or for a pill costing fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins, would have quickly healed him completely.

But Feng Xiaotian didn't have many Wolf Warrior Coins to begin with. Spending fifty thousand at once would hurt!

Besides, with this treatment, it wasn't advisable to heal him all at once. They had to take it slowly!

And five healing pills like these would heal Cheng Cheng's injuries just the same.

Cheng Cheng took the bottle and said, "Xiaotian, this medicine must be expensive, right? It's more useful than many Soul Masters' Soul Skills."

Feng Xiaotian smiled. "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive, as long as it heals your injuries, Dean. But I only have these two pills right now. By my estimate, five in total will make you fully recover. I'll find a way to get the rest. Don't worry, Vice Dean Cheng, you'll definitely recover. Godwind Academy still needs you. Once you've recovered, train hard and you'll have a chance to take revenge yourself."

"Thank you! Xiaotian, you called my son big brother in the carriage earlier, and your father and I are colleagues, more or less. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Cheng. There's no need to keep calling me dean."

"Mm, Uncle Cheng!" Feng Xiaotian said.

Hearing that, Cheng Cheng suddenly said seriously, "Good! From now on, my life belongs to you, Xiaotian. Whatever you say, I'll do. Don't argue, Xiaotian. I won't listen even if you do, unless I'm dead."

Could he take revenge just by recovering?

The man from Spirit Hall was a genius himself. Ten years ago, when Cheng Cheng was level seventy-six, he had had a chance to kill him, but what about ten years later?

His body had grown old. Even if he recovered and resumed training, he might still be no match for him. If he truly wanted revenge, he would have to count on the younger generation, people like Feng Xiaotian.

"Oh! All right, then!" Feng Xiaotian had nothing to say. If he still refused, it would be a bit much!

Cheng Cheng said, "I thought I was going to die just now, so I told Huo Yan about you helping me take revenge. I asked him to look after you in the future, and to bring you and Huo Wu together if he got the chance!"

No wonder Huo Yan had said that outside the courtyard just now. It was because of what Cheng Cheng had told him.

Feng Xiaotian said, "Well, what's said is said! It's all right!"

Cheng Cheng then got up and stretched his body. "I should go out and see Huo Yan. That fellow is bound to curse me out. I was supposed to die, but now I won't."

With that, he pushed open the door and went out. Huo Yan's voice immediately rang out. "Feng Xiaotian, how's Old Cheng?"

Suddenly, Huo Yan wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him. The person coming through the door was Cheng Cheng himself. "You're all right?"

Cheng Cheng put on a smug look and said, "Haha, Old Huo, surprised? Actually, I was fooling you just now."

"Are you sure?" Huo Yan asked again.

Cheng Cheng promptly walked into the courtyard and moved around a little. "Look at me. Do I look like a man who's about to die?"

Huo Yan's fiery temper immediately flared. "You sly old fox, Cheng Cheng! How dare you toy with my feelings! Just watch me teach you a lesson!"

Huo Yan had wanted to make a move and test Cheng Cheng, but just then the Godwind Academy team members returned, forcing Huo Yan to let the matter go. "Old Cheng, I'll remember this!"

Huo Yan left after saying that. Feng He then hurried over with the team members and asked about Cheng Cheng's injuries. Cheng Cheng replied that he was fine and told everyone not to worry.

Feng He then began recounting what had happened in the two exchange matches that day.

By then, however, Feng Xiaotian had already slipped away.

The Godwind Academy team had returned, so didn't that mean the goddesses of Skywater Academy were back too?

It was time to give them something to treat their bodies, which had been ravaged by Blazing Fire!
