Huo Wu's Advantage over Shui Bing'er

Speaking was an art. Some things couldn't be said carelessly; once spoken, they came at a price. Feng Xiaotian had now experienced that firsthand.

He recalled Cheng Cheng's past at the academy. Although Cheng Cheng didn't directly manage it, he often guided students in their cultivation.

Whenever someone came to him with a cultivation problem, he would patiently explain it to them. More than half the people at the academy had received his guidance.

Feng Xiaotian remembered asking Cheng Cheng questions several times himself, and Cheng Cheng had cleared up every one of them. He was an elder worthy of respect.

If Cheng Cheng died, it would be Godwind Academy's greatest loss.

If Feng Xiaotian made Cheng Cheng acknowledge him as his master over this, he would be going too far. If the others at the academy found out, they would point fingers at him behind his back.

Besides, having grown up on Blue Star, he really wasn't used to people calling him master.

Still supporting Cheng Cheng, Feng Xiaotian said, "Dean, please get up. As long as you get up, I'll definitely find a chance to kill your enemy in Spirit Hall for you someday."

Seeing that Cheng Cheng still didn't move, Feng Xiaotian continued, "If you insist on acknowledging me as your master, then pretend I never said that. I won't avenge you, either. Besides, you may have a chance to recover your health and cultivate again someday, and get a chance to take revenge yourself."

Cheng Cheng raised his head. "Xiaotian, are you really willing to help me? Do I really still have hope?"

He had sought out many people, but the treatments for his injuries had only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause. He had also asked many people to help him take revenge, but he had been turned down almost every time.

Feng Xiaotian nodded. "As long as you get up, Dean, I'll help you."

As for treating his injuries, Feng Xiaotian could give him a definite answer now. After all, he hadn't obtained any more Simp Coins yet.

Seeing this, Cheng Cheng had no choice but to get up.

"Xiaotian, are you really willing to help me? You should know that he's a Soul Saint above level seventy, and his position in Spirit Hall isn't low, either," Cheng Cheng asked again.

A disdainful smile appeared on Feng Xiaotian's face. "Spirit Hall, huh? I'm only going after one person. There'll be plenty of chances in the future, so rest assured, Dean Cheng."

Cheng Cheng nodded. "All right. Although you're unwilling, Xiaotian, if you ever need me for anything, just say the word. Even if it costs me this old life of mine, I won't hesitate."

"All right!" That was all Feng Xiaotian could say.

But although Feng Xiaotian hadn't agreed to his request, Cheng Cheng had resolved to spend the rest of his life doing everything he could to help Feng Xiaotian grow.

Sitting up again, Cheng Cheng said, "One reason I went to Blazing Fire Academy this time was to visit my old friend Huo Yan. I remember that over forty years ago, he was the captain of Blazing Fire Academy's team, and I was the captain of Godwind Academy's. Our two academies competed and measured ourselves against each other, and we formed a friendship along the way. Speaking of it, I've wronged him too. He was injured when I sought revenge last time, and I don't know if he's fully recovered yet."

"By the way, Xiaotian! That young girl Huo Wu you were pursuing before-isn't she Huo Yan's granddaughter? Would you like me to bring you two together?"

"Uh... Dean Cheng, let's forget it. I can handle it myself!" Feng Xiaotian said. He had his own way of pursuing a goddess.

With this system, the three "waste" maxims he had heard in his previous life fit perfectly: romance, wasteful spending, and wanton cries! Wasteful spending was especially suitable.

Cheng Cheng smiled. "All right, but whenever you need help, Xiaotian, just come find me!"

"It's still a three-hour journey to Blazing Fire Academy. You've only just broken through, Xiaotian, so keep cultivating in the carriage and consolidate your Soul Power Level."

After that, Feng Xiaotian resumed cultivating!

The carriage traveled along a broad official road. The road itself was extremely smooth, and the carriage Cheng Cheng had built was fitted with a Soul Tool that absorbed shocks.

The ride was so smooth that Feng Xiaotian felt it was like riding in one of the luxury cars from his previous life, except the soundproofing was a little worse. It didn't affect his cultivation at all.

That was also why he had dared to take an Intermediate Soul Power Pill and break through in the carriage earlier.

Time slowly passed, and the sun gradually sank. Skywater Academy and Godwind Academy finally reached Blazing Fire City before nightfall.

Here, the temperature was noticeably higher than in other places.

Blazing Fire City's layout was much like Godwind City's. It wasn't in the city, but beneath a rather unusual volcano.

Blazing Fire Academy had come first, and Blazing Fire City had followed.

Blazing Fire City had been built in front of Blazing Fire Academy. The shortest route to the academy led through the city and then up Blazing Fire Mountain.

Blazing Fire Academy itself had been built halfway up Blazing Fire Mountain.

After all, this volcano was relatively stable and hadn't erupted in a thousand years.

Building the academy here was equivalent to having a free Mimicry Cultivation Environment, saving the academy a great deal of money.

Godwind Academy was much the same. It too stood halfway up Godwind Mountain, where Hurricane Canyon could be found. Hurricanes raged there all year round, making it the best place for their wind-attribute Soul Masters to cultivate.

Their elemental academies were basically all much the same, except for Elephant Armor Academy, of course. Skywater Academy was on a small island in Skywater Lake, outside Skywater City.

Thunder Academy was in Heavenly Thunder Mountain, because there was a natural lightning field there.

The reason these elemental academies had endured for so long was precisely that they possessed these perfectly suited cultivation grounds blessed by nature.

They passed straight through Blazing Fire City and arrived without trouble at the gates of Blazing Fire Academy, beneath Blazing Fire Mountain. The carriages from Skywater Academy and Godwind Academy all came to a stop.

Several people wearing Blazing Fire Academy uniforms were waiting ahead.

When Feng Xiaotian stepped down from the carriage, he looked over. One person stood out in particular: he spotted a pair of long, slender, fair legs at a glance.

She looked valiant and spirited. Huo Wu was only fifteen at this point, but she appeared to be at least 1.7 meters tall, with a tall, slender figure and extremely well-proportioned build.

A faint smile always graced Huo Wu's face, and a faint red glow seemed to emanate from around her body.

In the original story, Huo Wu had grown to nearly 1.8 meters by the time she participated in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament at nineteen. She already looked perfect now; he hadn't expected there to be room for improvement.

And seeing Huo Wu now, Feng Xiaotian found that she looked completely different from how she had in the anime he watched in his previous life. She was even much prettier than her anime version!

In the anime, she had short hair, but what he saw now was a head of long, dark red waves that fell all the way to her waist. She had a fair face, delicate features, and large eyes that shimmered faintly with silver light!

This seemed to be Huo Wu as described in the novel, not the anime.

Perhaps the anime hadn't made Huo Wu's model too pretty so the female leads would stand out. Otherwise, wouldn't she have stolen the show?

[Ding... a goddess has been detected fifty meters ahead. Host, please conquer her as soon as possible!]

[Huo Wu. Looks: 93. Charm: 94. Temperament: 93. Overall: 93. Age: 15. None of her attributes have reached their peak!]

Seeing Huo Wu's three attributes, Feng Xiaotian was certain that her overall score would definitely reach 96 or higher in the future.

Compared with Huo Wu at the same age, Shui Bing'er's overall attributes were actually lower.

Shui Bing'er's overall score was 92, while Huo Wu's was 93, one point higher.

He looked back at Shui Bing'er, then at Huo Wu again, and already had an answer in his heart.

Perhaps Huo Wu's score was higher because of those heaven-defying, perfect long legs, which earned her quite a few extra points.

Just as Feng Xiaotian looked at Huo Wu, she happened to look in his direction too.

Their eyes met, and Huo Wu immediately felt a flicker of irritation. Her brows furrowed slightly.

Why had that annoying Feng Xiaotian come too?

? ? Huo Wu's appearance in the original novel is a little different from the anime. She has long hair in the original, so that's what I'm following here!
