Chapter 496: 496: The Five-Year Promise

Early in the morning, the former Shrek Academy, now the Elemental Academy, welcomed a group of guests.

Among them were Zhongli, Guizhong, Lumine, and others.

Of course, there were also today's main characters, Xiao Feilian and Du Siji, and others.

The five-year promise was to be fulfilled today!

Despite it being early morning, the vast sports ground was already packed with people.

Because of this five-year promise, the Heaven Dou and Xing Luo Empires, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, had both declared a rare one-day truce.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun even secretly came to the Elemental Academy, as they were also eager to see how much Tang San had grown over these five years.

As for the glory of Shrek Academy, even Dean Flender had given up on it, so why should they persist?

"Is Tang San not coming yet? Is he afraid to show up?"

In the crowd, Feng Xiaotian crossed his arms, his face filled with disdain.

Although his voice was low, everyone present was a soul master?

His words quickly resonated with many others.

"Yeah, Tang San was probably just showing off back then. Now that it's time to come, he doesn't dare."

"With such a grand event today, if Tang San doesn't come, wouldn't all our preparations be in vain?"

Setting up the venue had cost a lot of money and effort. If the "main character" didn't show up, it would be a real shame.

"Everyone, if Tang San doesn't come, why don't we have a friendly match to entertain the Geo Archon and everyone else?"

Upon hearing this, the younger generation thought for a moment and then nodded.

If they could gain the recognition of the Geo Archon or other esteemed figures, it would be a great opportunity for them as young people.

The older generation didn't object either, as they also had juniors among them. If their juniors could achieve a good result, it would bring them honor.

"Does the Geo Archon have such an interest?"

The one who spoke was a beautiful woman, who asked cautiously.

This woman was the former dean of the Skywater Academy and now the vice dean of the Elemental Academy.

Hearing this, Zhongli waved his hand and said without changing his expression, "Guests are here to observe, naturally."

Zhongli's meaning was simple: he was just a guest, and how the Elemental Academy arranged things was their own business. He had no opinion and would not offer any suggestions.

This is the basic etiquette a guest should follow.

When the host is courteous, how can the guest point fingers?

This was about etiquette, not cultivation or strength.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled even more.

The Geo Archon was indeed easy to get along with, powerful yet without any airs.

If it were other powerful figures, they would have probably already started pointing out what was wrong and what was lacking.

The beautiful woman gave Shui Bing'er a look, and Shui Bing'er instantly understood, nodding in response.

Seeing Shui Bing'er's acknowledgment, the beautiful woman then said, "Everyone, since peace is rare today, the beauties of our Skywater Academy Branch are willing to perform a dance for everyone. Let our Skywater Academy Branch take the lead!"

It was well known that the Geo Archon enjoyed opera, tea, and the like.

They weren't familiar with opera, but when it came to dance, while not divine, they were at the peak of perfection!

Hearing this, no one present, whether male or female, objected.

It had long been heard that the Skywater Academy was unparalleled in singing and dancing in the Douluo Continent, but few had seen it. Today was a rare opportunity.

Of course, after the Skywater Academy merged into the Elemental Academy, it became the Skywater Academy Branch.

Most of those present were famous figures in the soul master world, so there was no commotion, just quiet anticipation for the Skywater Academy beauties to take the stage.

Shui Bing'er, dressed in a water-blue long gown, was the first to enter. At this moment, she was not a student but a teacher at the Skywater Academy Branch.

If not for the merger of the four elemental academies, Shui Bing'er would have been the vice dean of the Skywater Academy Academy!

Familiar faces also included Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er. As for the other members of the former Skywater Academy team, they had long since graduating and leaving the academy.

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and the same goes for academies.

There were still seven people, but with a few different faces, all equally beautiful.

The primary requirement for entering the Skywater Academy Academy was to be a beauty...

As the music started, the women performed a passionate dance, full of youth and vitality.

The atmosphere at the venue was ignited by this dance.

"Bravo!!"

The audience cheered, and for Shui Bing'er and the others, this was nothing new.

They were well aware of their strengths and understood that they were beauty. Such praise didn't make them blush or their hearts race.

As time passed, the dance ended, and Shui Bing'er and the others bowed slightly, returning to the edge of the sports ground amidst applause.

At that moment, Feng Xiaotian stepped forward, walking past the crowd and towards the center of the sports ground.

"Divine Wind, Feng Xiaotian, challenges everyone to a match!"

Feng Xiaotian placed his hands behind his back and spoke calmly, exuding a faint aura of a strong expert.

Now, he was already a Soul Emperor, the top among the younger generation of the Elemental Academy!

Even so, Huo Wu, the sister he liked, still refused to be with him, which baffled Feng Xiaotian. Therefore, he wanted to prove himself today, to show that he had the strength to protect Huo Wu!

"Blazing Fire, Huo Wushuang!"

Huo Wushuang was the first to reach the center of the sports ground, winning at Feng Xiaotian.

"Brother Xiaotian, this is all I can do for you. Matters of the heart can't be forced. If after today, my sister still doesn't accept you, you should give up and focus on cultivation, or find beauty from Skywater Academy..."

Huo Wushuang sobbed and groaned.

Only a true strong expert could hear his words, and Feng Xiaotian was one such person.

Hearing this, Feng Xiaotian trembled slightly, a touch of emotion flashing in his eyes.

His sincerity had moved Huo Wu's grandfather, father, and even her brother... but it couldn't sway Huo Wu at all. Sometimes, Feng Xiaotian felt exhausted.

Huo Wushuang was also a top figure among the younger generation, willingly stepping onto the stage to ensure Feng Xiaotian's victory, acting as a foil. Such brotherly affection truly moves him.

"Brother Wushuang, even if you can't become my brother-in-law, you will always be my brother-in-law!"

Huo Wushuang: "..."

As he said, matters of the heart couldn't be forced. Feng Xiaotian was great in every way, but Huo Wu just didn't like him. What could be done?

In a short while, they both activated their martial souls and began to fight, evenly matched.

After a while, Huo Wushuang had shown enough, and Feng Xiaotian finally struck him back, winning the match.

"Thank you for your mercy!"

Seeing this, Huo Wushuang was even more convinced of this brother-in-law, but...

"Ah, Xiaotian..."

Huo Wushuang hesitated, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say it and walked towards the edge of the sports ground.

"Huo Wu, Huo Wu, if you don't like Brother Feng, then tell him clearly!"

"Stop stringing him along!"

As Huo Wu's brother, these words shouldn't have come from Huo Wushuang, and he would never say them to Huo Wu directly, but some things just had to be said!

"Huo Wushuang, you're overstepping your bounds?!"
