Seeing so many beautiful girls all at once, even Huo Wu felt the pressure.

"No wonder you two wanted to come to Tianshui Academy! With so many beauties around, it's a feast for the eyes!"

"Sister, we're here on official business, all for the sake of winning the championship."

"Yeah, right! You're starting to sound just like him."

"No, no, it's not like that..."

Feng Xiaotian playfully patted Huo Wushuang on the shoulder and joked, "Calm down, there are even more beauties inside the campus. I just hope you don't get so excited that you have a nosebleed."

"That won't happen!"

"Alright, let's go and try our luck at the gate."

As Feng Xiaotian and the others approached the gate, they were stopped by two beautiful female guards.

"Stop right there! Who are you?"

"Did you not see the big warning sign at the entrance?"

The two girls looked to be in their twenties, likely not students but rather female guards employed by the academy.

Feng Xiaotian stepped forward with a smile and said, "Lovely sisters, I'm from Godwind Academy, and these two are from Blazing Academy. We're here to meet your Headmistress Meng."

As he spoke, Feng Xiaotian produced the letter of introduction his grandfather had written for Headmistress Meng.

"I have a letter of introduction here. Could you please pass it to your headmistress? She'll understand once she reads it."

One of the girls took the letter with a smile.

"You have quite the sweet tongue. Our academy is full of girls, so the security is strict. Wait here for a moment while I take this to the headmistress. If she agrees, I'll bring you in."

"Thank you, sister."

"No problem."

As the girl walked away, Huo Wu teased Feng Xiaotian, her tone laced with sarcasm, "Sister this, sister that—you're really good at buttering people up!"

"What else could I do? We need their help to get things done. We're in an unfamiliar place, and we can't just barge into Tianshui Academy's gates."

"Why didn't I realize before that you have such a sweet mouth?"

Feng Xiaotian chuckled but didn't explain further.

After all, he was 23 years old in spirit. If he couldn't even handle this, how could he manage anything else?

Meanwhile, in the headmistress's office at Tianshui Academy.

Meng Wanqing was busy handling school affairs when there was a light knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Headmistress, there are three people at the school gate who wish to see you."

"Who are they?"

"Three young people—two boys and a girl. They say they're from Godwing Academy and Blazing Academy."

"Godwind and Blazing? Both are our opponents in this year's Soul Master Tournament. What could they possibly want?"

"I'm not sure, but they brought a letter of introduction. Here it is."

Meng Wanqing took the letter and opened it to read.

As she read, her brows furrowed slightly.

"I see... very well. Bring the three of them in."

"Yes, Headmistress."

Soon after, the girl returned to the gate.

"The headmistress has read the letter. Please follow me inside."

"Thank you."

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu followed the girl into the campus.

The campus was unique, designed entirely for girls.

Flowers were everywhere, along with various vines and climbing plants.

The scent of herbs mixed with the delicate fragrance of young women, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

The campus was filled with beautiful girls, making it a sight to behold. As the three of them walked down the paths, they naturally drew attention.

"Aren't those the two boys from the gate? Why did the headmistress let them in?"

"No idea, maybe they have some special connection with her."

"Look at that red-haired girl. She's really pretty and carries herself with such grace."

"Yeah, they must be from out of town."

As they continued walking, Feng Xiaotian suddenly asked, "Beautiful sister, do you rarely allow men into your school?"

"Of course! As you can see, everyone here is a beauty, and that's our school's biggest feature. We have to ensure the safety of the girls, especially since some people might have ulterior motives. If it weren't for that letter, the headmistress wouldn't have allowed you three inside."

"You're absolutely right."

Huo Wushuang whispered to Feng Xiaotian, "Brother Tian, Grandfather Feng's letter really did the trick."

"Of course. Grandpa mentioned that Headmistress Meng is actually a generation younger than him."

"No wonder."

In no time, the three of them were led to the reception room.

"Please wait here while I fetch the headmistress."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Feng Xiaotian glanced around, feeling a bit nervous. According to his grandfather, Headmistress Meng, who was in her early forties, was known for being a proud and cold woman. If he wanted to convince Tianshui Academy to form a new team with them, he'd need to get past her first.

Suddenly, there was a sound.

Clack, clack, clack!

The sound of high heels on wooden floors echoed sharply.

Both Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu tensed up.

"When she arrives, let me do the talking," Feng Xiaotian whispered.

"Got it," they replied in unison.

As they spoke, Meng Wanqing walked in. The moment they saw her, all three were stunned.

This woman truly lived up to her name, exuding an air of cool elegance. Her features were delicate, her skin smooth and flawless like jade, and her eyes were sharp, brimming with pride and determination.

She was tall, with long, misty blue hair that cascaded down to her waist. Her curvaceous figure only added to her allure. She appeared just a few years older than Huo Wu, making it hard to believe she was in her forties. It wouldn't have been out of place to call her "sister."

While the three were still in shock, Meng Wanqing suddenly asked, "Are you the ones looking for me?"

Feng Xiaotian quickly snapped back to reality.

"Good day, Headmistress Meng!"

"Good day, Headmistress!" echoed Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

Meng Wanqing nodded and smiled slightly as she looked at the trio. "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Feng Xiaotian, and these two are from Blazing Academy."

"Yes, that's correct," they replied, nodding in unison.

"Xiaotian, how is your grandfather doing?"

"Thank you for asking, Headmistress. He's in good health."

"That's good to hear. He mentioned in his letter that you've created a new soul technique, one that can merge wind elements with other elements. But I doubt you traveled all this way to Tianshui Academy just to exchange techniques."

"You're right. To be honest, we're here for the upcoming Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament."

"I thought as much. Both of your academies are our competitors in the tournament. So, what exactly are you proposing?"

After a brief conversation, Feng Xiaotian realized that Headmistress Meng wasn't as cold as his grandfather had described. Perhaps it was because they were all juniors that she didn't come across as overly stern.

After a moment's thought, Feng Xiaotian spoke earnestly, "If all goes as expected, Tianshui, Godwind, and Blazing will make it to the finals of this year's tournament. I propose that we unite Blazing and Tianshui to form a new team and challenge the Spirit Hall team!"
