As Feng Xiaotian had anticipated, Meng Wanqing indeed chose Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Shui Yue'er. Without a doubt, this was the most suitable choice.

Shui Bing'er and her sister Shui Yue'er could also perform a soul fusion skill together.

"Dean, we can settle on this plan."

Meng Wanqing nodded but still had concerns.

"Even though we've combined the three-element academy, with your current strength, it might still be difficult to defeat the Spirit Hall team. With less than half a year before the preliminaries, will the team be able to gel? How confident are you?"

Feng Xiaotian had considered this issue as well.

"Meng Dean, please don't worry. I already have a plan in mind. Once the team members are confirmed, we can go to the Great Spirit Arena for practical training to increase our synergy."

Meng Wanqing's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea and worth a try. Have you chosen a location?"

"I've looked at the map. To accommodate the three female students from Tianshui Academy, we can choose a nearby Great Spirit Arena. There are two options closest to you: the Silver Star Great Spirit Arena and the Soto Great Spirit Arena. Which one do you think is more suitable?"

Meng Wanqing thought for a moment.

"Let's go with the Soto Great Spirit Arena."

"Alright, we'll go with your choice!"

Feng Xiaotian also preferred the Soto Great Spirit Arena.

Given the current timeline, Tang San and the others from Shrek Academy should have already been there and set new records.

However, records are meant to be broken.

Feng Xiaotian believed that with their strength, they could definitely break the records set by Shrek Academy.

Meng Wanqing furrowed her brow, deep in thought.

"I would like to witness your growth, but it's not convenient for me to go with you."

"Dean, don't worry. I can have my grandfather take us. He's not busy anyway."

"That would be ideal. With him watching over you, I'll feel more at ease."

"Got it!"

Feng Xiaotian scratched his head.

"Dean, I have one more question."

"Go ahead."

"If our three academies make it to the finals, only one academy can be the main team after merging."

"No need to elaborate. I understand your point. There's no need for much consideration. Among you, you are the strongest and the core member of the team, so the main team will naturally be your Godwind Academy."

"Thank you for understanding, Dean. The champion's reward is three ten-thousand-year soul bones. If we're fortunate enough to win, we will give the most suitable one to the Tianshui team members."

Meng Wanqing smiled wickedly.

"The competition hasn't even started, and you're already thinking that far ahead? In recent years, the Spirit Hall has taken the championship.

Soul bones are not the main concern; the goal is to dampen the Spirit Hall's arrogance! So, you must work hard! If you really make it that far, give it your all and show them the strength of our three-element academy!"

Feng Xiaotian clenched his fists.

"Don't worry. We'll definitely put in the effort!"

"When are you planning to go to Soto City?"

"I'll go back with Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang first to handle some matters. After that, we'll come over with my grandfather."

"Alright, it's settled then. Let's go find them."

"Sure."

In his previous life, Feng Xiaotian had died once. The feeling of failure was too terrible! As this would be his first real battle in his rebirth, he was determined not to fail.

This time, he had to crush Shrek Academy and the Spirit Hall team and win the championship.

Meng Wanqing took Feng Xiaotian to find Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, who were visiting the school.

Huo Wushuang was surrounded by several girls, becoming the center of attention.

The girls all cast curious glances at him.

Feeling overwhelmed by so much attention for the first time, Huo Wushuang's face turned red. Seeing Feng Xiaotian approach, he quickly went to greet him.

"Brother Tian, why did you just arrive? You came at the perfect time!"

"Look at you, acting so helpless! With so many beautiful girls staring at you, you're getting flustered? They're just beautiful girls, not demons. They won't eat you!"

"Brother Tian, stop joking around."

Seeing Feng Xiaotian again, the girls were all delighted.

But Feng Xiaotian had to leave soon.

"Meng Dean, we're heading back now. We'll see you in a few days."

"Mm."

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu each said their goodbyes to the girls before heading toward the school gate.

As they watched them leave, the girls whispered among themselves:

"That girl named Huo Wu seems carefree, but she's actually quite nice."

"Her brother is the real treat, though. He seems like he's never interacted with girls before."

"Feng Xiaotian is handsome and strong. It's a shame he left before we got to know him better."

Meng Wanqing suddenly spoke up:

"Bing'er, Yue'er, and Xue, come with me. I need to talk to you."

Feng Xiaotian walked ahead.

Huo Wu asked:

"How did it go? Did you finalize things with Dean?"

"Yeah, everything's set. Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Shui Yue'er will join us to form a new team."

Huo Wushuang was thrilled upon hearing this.

Huo Wu suddenly stopped and gave her brother a kick on the backside.

"Huo Wu, why did you kick me? We were just fine a moment ago. Don't take your frustration out on me if we lose the match."

"Hmph! Look at how excited you are. Tell me, which one of them do you like? The one with blue hair or the one with black hair?"

Huo Wushuang awkwardly laughed and stammered:

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't think I don't know. You were holding back on purpose to give them a chance. If Feng Xiaotian hadn't intervened, we would have lost even worse!"

Feng Xiaotian then realized why Huo Wu had been smiling despite losing the match.

It turned out she had been considering her brother's feelings, wanting to make a good impression.

Feng Xiaotian teased:

"Wushuang, which one do you like? Just say it. Both Huo Wu and I can help you."

Huo Wushuang felt embarrassed, his face turning red up to his neck.

This was probably the first time in twenty years he had felt such affection for a girl, and it was love at first sight.

"I like the one with black hair, Xue Wu."

"Ah! It's her, as I suspected. My intuition was spot on!" Huo Wu said angrily.

Feng Xiaotian smiled and felt a bit relieved.

This subtle reaction didn't escape Huo Wu's notice.

A woman's intuition is very sharp.

Huo Wu was fuming.

"Feng Xiaotian! What do you mean by that? Are you worried my brother likes Shui Bing'er because you like her?"

Feng Xiaotian grinned, no longer hiding his feelings.

"Shui Bing'er is gentle and kind, calm and composed. Though she's not exceptionally stunning, she's the type who grows on you. Who wouldn't like a girl like that?"
