Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.
A blonde woman with waist-length hair stood with her hands behind her back. Her slender figure swayed gently in the surrounding breeze, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, unlike anything of ordinary mortals.
"Young Master, a letter has arrived from Wuhun City." Suddenly, a space behind the blonde woman rippled, and then the figure of a middle-aged man appeared—none other than the Serpent Spear Douluo, Yu Long.
"Whose letter is it?" Qian Renxue didn't turn around, but simply said calmly.
"No… it's a letter from the Grand Elder." The Serpent Spear Douluo raised his head, took out a letter from his robes, and respectfully held it up with both hands.
"Grandpa's letter?" Qian Renxue turned around, a hint of doubt flashing across her exquisite face. Then, she reached out her jade-like hand, took the letter, and began to read it carefully.
A moment later, a serious look flashed in Qian Renxue's bright eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "Uncle Yu Long, our plan needs to be brought forward."
"What does Young Master mean by this?" Snake Spear Douluo hadn't read the contents of the letter, so he said, "Young Master, you've been working hard for over ten years to seize the Heaven Dou Empire. Bringing the plan forward now carries a great risk of failure."
"Uncle Snake Spear, we don't have much time left." Qian Renxue shook her head slightly and said, "The contents of this letter don't allow us to delay any longer."
"I've decided. We'll launch the plan immediately after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament ends. Otherwise, we'll never have another chance."
Snake Spear Douluo was puzzled, but he still took the letter from Qian Renxue and read it carefully.
"This... how is this possible?" After reading the contents of the letter, Snake Spear Douluo's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible." Hearing this, Qian Renxue frowned slightly and waved her hand, saying, "Grandpa's prediction is correct. Uncle Serpent Spear, for the next period of time, you must report to me truthfully any movements within the Spirit Hall."
"I'm worried that that madwoman will make her move at this critical juncture."
"Yes, Young Master." Serpent Spear Douluo nodded.
"By the way, don't go to Cheng Xiao's place for now. With Dugu Bo by his side, he should be fine." Qian Renxue said.
"I understand." After bowing slightly, Serpent Spear Douluo leaped and disappeared from the Crown Prince's residence.
Watching the disappearing figure, Qian Renxue's jade hand holding the letter clenched slightly, her gaze fixed on the direction of Spirit City, silent.
…
Heaven Dou City, Great Spirit Arena.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Cheng Xiao's fame grew, but he himself didn't care. He merely waved symbolically at the audience's shouts.
Back in the Seven Star Academy's lounge, Cheng Xiao immediately noticed the giggling Ye Lingling. He chuckled and took two steps forward, sitting down beside her.
"Your performance just now certainly attracted the attention of quite a few female students," Ye Lingling said softly as soon as Cheng Xiao sat down.
"That's unavoidable; after all, giving it your all is a sign of respect for your opponent," Cheng Xiao shrugged and smiled.
"So, you used your full strength?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.
"No..." Cheng Xiao scratched his head awkwardly.
"Pfft..." Ye Lingling chuckled and said, "Then you said you used your full strength, was that just an excuse for yourself?"
If the battle with Shrek Academy made Seven Star Academy famous, then this battle just now propelled Seven Star Academy and Cheng Xiao's name to the pinnacle of the preliminaries.
With such formidable strength, many people believed that the championship of this competition was basically Seven Star Academy's for the taking.
On the other side, Huo Wu had just stepped off the Soul Arena and was feeling extremely frustrated when a somewhat deep voice sounded in her ear, "Sister Huo Wu, you didn't lose unjustly this time, so don't take this match too seriously."
"This guy named Cheng Xiao is not easy to deal with, so don't lose your fighting spirit because of this."
Hearing this, the people from Blazing Fire Academy looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of contestants wearing cyan team uniforms walking towards them.
The team uniforms, adorned with silver velvet embroidery, shone brightly against the uniforms of the Blazing Fire Academy, making them a clear contrast to those of the Divine Wind Academy, another of the five elemental academies.
The person who had just spoken was Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Divine Wind Academy. His gaze was fixed on Huo Wu, his admiration undisguised.
"What do you mean by 'not losing unjustly'? Feng Xiaotian, what do you mean by that?" Hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Huo Wu, already frustrated, exploded, shouting angrily.
"N-nothing...nothing, Huo Wu, don't take it to heart. I was just saying." Seeing Huo Wu's anger, Feng Xiaotian quickly added, "While Cheng Xiao may be immune to your fire, he might not be immune to my wind, right?"
"Besides, battles between Soul Masters are mostly decided by elemental advantages and disadvantages, so you don't need to be too upset about losing."
Hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, the Blazing Fire Academy members' expressions softened somewhat. After all, no one would feel good about being mocked right after losing a match.
"Cheng Xiao is a monster. With his current strength, let alone us, even those monsters from the Spirit Hall wouldn't stand a chance. In the upcoming matches, no one will be his match." Taking a deep breath, Huo Wu suddenly said.
"Huh?" Feng Xiaotian felt a chill run down his spine. Was this still the proud and unyielding Huo Wu he knew?
She actually admitted that someone was stronger? Could it be that she had won him over after their fight?
"Feng Xiaotian, I know you like me." Huo Wu frowned, staring at Feng Xiaotian's face. "Women admire strength. If you can defeat Cheng Xiao, I'll agree to be with you."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian froze on the spot. Huo Wushuang, standing to the side, sighed helplessly. He had no way of dealing with his younger sister's personality.
"Alright, Huo Wu, just you wait and see." Feng Xiaotian paused, then said quite seriously, "When Seven Star Academy meets our Divine Wind Academy, I'll definitely make Cheng Xiao pay."
Hearing this, Huo Wu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, as long as you can defeat Cheng Xiao, I'll agree to what we agreed to."
After saying that, Huo Wu turned and walked towards the rest area without looking back. Seeing this, Huo Wushuang could only quickly follow, and said with a wry smile, "Sister, even if you don't like Feng Xiaotian, you can't play him like this, can you? With Cheng Xiao's strength, let alone him, even if an entire academy were combined, they wouldn't be able to win, right?"
"Brother, what does this have to do with me? I didn't beg him to agree." Huo Wu snorted. She had lived in a pampered environment since she was a child, and she believed she had the right to be proud.
Moreover, she herself worked very hard. To become stronger, she put in just as much effort as anyone else, otherwise she wouldn't have become the person with the highest soul power level in Blazing Fire Academy.
"Sigh, girl, what are you going to do if you can't get married in the future?" Huo Wushuang sighed helplessly, watching Huo Wu's retreating figure.
