In an instant, Huo Wu was stunned. Upon learning that the visitor was Feng Xiaotian, she felt a bit of joy inside.

Every girl has a sense of vanity. Whether or not someone is pursuing her is one thing; whether she agrees is another.

Huo Wu's father is the dean of Blazing Academy, so she has been pampered since childhood. Despite her attractive looks and fiery figure, she is temperamental, arrogant, and willful.

Many boys at school admire her, but few, like Feng Xiaotian, have pursued her for five years.

Even though Feng Xiaotian had liked her for so long, she hadn't taken it seriously. She felt that Feng Xiaotian wasn't strong enough, and certainly not worthy of being her boyfriend at this stage.

Learning that Feng Xiaotian hadn't come specifically to find her, she felt a tinge of disappointment and imbalance.

"Brother, are you sure he's not here to find me?"

Seeing his sister's anxious expression, Huo Wushuang shook his head helplessly.

"He's definitely not here for you. After half a year, he's become much stronger, far beyond my level. He's no longer the Feng Xiaotian he used to be. I fought him earlier, and I lost—completely."

Huo Wu was shocked once again, muttering to herself, "Has he really gotten stronger? Is that why he didn't come looking for me?"

"Enough, don't think too much about it. He's already left."

"Then what did he want from you?"

"He wants to team up with me and go to Tianshui Academy. Never mind, I'll tell you about it later."

Seeing her brother's slightly embarrassed demeanor, Huo Wu exploded with anger.

"What? He wants to take you to Tianshui Academy?! It's full of girls. What are you going there for?!"

"Well..."

"Forget it, I'll ask him myself!"

With that, Huo Wu ran off towards the gate, chasing after Feng Xiaotian.

She didn't go far before spotting a familiar figure.

It was Feng Xiaotian.

"Feng Xiaotian, stop right there!"

Feng Xiaotian turned around and saw Huo Wu storming towards him. Seeing him again after half a year, Huo Wu felt a surge of excitement.

Feng Xiaotian had grown his hair long and looked somewhat rebellious and handsome. Even though he wore a mask, his eyes appeared more mature and charming than before.

"Do you need something?"

Feng Xiaotian's casual attitude only fueled Huo Wu's anger.

"What do you mean? Why are you taking my brother to Tianshui Academy?!"

"Oh, I'm taking him to exchange techniques and also to see some beautiful girls. Your brother has been single for 20 years. Is it a problem for him to interact with more girls?"

Huo Wu was thoroughly enraged.

She stepped closer to Feng Xiaotian, cornering him, placing her hands on the wall to block his way. Her eyes fixed on him with intense, fiery emotion.

"Are you interested in some girl from Tianshui Academy?!"

"This is my personal matter and doesn't concern you."

"Weren't you interested in me before? Have you moved on in just six months? Men really are all the same!"

Feng Xiaotian gently brushed Huo Wu's hands aside.

"I did like you before, for a full five years. Do you know how I spent those five years? Now I realize that if you can't make room for me in your heart, why should I force myself?"

With that, Feng Xiaotian walked away without looking back.

Huo Wu stood there, feeling a mix of emotions—disbelief, disappointment, and frustration.

She had always thought that Feng Xiaotian, who had pursued her so persistently, would wait for her. But now, he seemed resolutely determined.

"Maybe his patience has run out. Maybe he never truly loved me and just moved on when he found someone better."

Watching Feng Xiaotian's retreating figure, Huo Wu felt increasingly unwilling to accept the situation.

Disappointment, annoyance, resentment, and jealousy filled her heart.

"I have to see what kind of girl could possibly steal the man who loved me for five years!"

Determined, Huo Wu hurried back to school to find Huo Wushuang.

"Brother, when are you going to Tianshui Academy? I want to go with you!"

"What for?"

"Don't worry about that. Just make sure to take me with you. As the vice-captain of Blazing Academy, I have the right to know."

"Alright, I'll take you to see Brother Tian first and see what he says."

Huo Wushuang knew his sister's stubbornness. Once she made up her mind, no one could stop her.

Huo Wushuang then explained everything that had happened at the school gate and what Feng Xiaotian had told him.

Huo Wu was once again shocked.

She hadn't expected Feng Xiaotian to become so powerful, easily overpowering her brother with just one move, especially with his self-created soul skill.

Huo Wu was also surprised to learn that Feng Xiaotian had acquired the Ten-Thousand-Year Black soul Ring.

What stunned her the most was that Feng Xiaotian was trying to challenge the Spirit Hall team.

Huo Wu had yet to see Feng Xiaotian's true strength. She wasn't sure if Feng Xiaotian was blindly confident or genuinely confident.

After today's events, Feng Xiaotian's image in Huo Wu's eyes had changed significantly. She even found herself admiring him a bit.

That night, Huo Wu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She was eager to understand why Feng Xiaotian had moved on.

The more she couldn't get an answer, the more anxious she became, wanting to visit Godwind Academy and find Feng Xiaotian as soon as possible.

Several days passed.

On this day, Feng Xiaotian went to Strom Valley to train, as usual.

Recently, he had been gaining some insights.

"Wind borrows the fire's momentum, fire aids the wind's might. Storms stir the waters, and the water's force is overwhelming."

"Wind is the starting point. By gathering soul power to form a storm, and controlling the wind with intent."

Mastery of wind techniques turns the intangible into the tangible, creating a tornado!

In an instant, Feng Xiaotian felt a surge of power throughout his body.

He stood up, extended his right hand, poured his soul power into it, and silently chanted in his mind:

"Wind, come forth!"

Immediately, wisps of wind gathered from all directions, forming a massive tornado.

Dust and debris were swept up, blocking out the sun.

Feng Xiaotian infused more soul power, and within the wind column, countless blades seemed to swirl, capable of shredding enemies effortlessly.

Just then, a few of Feng Xiaotian's teammates arrived.

"Wow! Boss, what's this move? It's incredible!"

Feng Xiaotian calmly withdrew his technique.

"This is my new soul skill, Tornado Storm."

"Another self-created soul skill. Boss, you really are a genius!"

"By the way, why are you guys here?"

"Boss, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu came looking for you. They're waiting at the academy."

Xiao Luo finished speaking, and everyone laughed.

"Boss, is there something going on with you and Huo Wu? This is the first time she's come to our academy to find you."

"Who cares about her?!"

The others were puzzled.

"Boss, don't you like Huo Wu? Why the..."

"Alright, enough questions. Let's head back to the academy!"
