While Shui Wuhen was talking, on the other side, the battle between Shui Yue Ruo, Huo Yang Yan, and the Soul Saint-level Fallen One was also nearing its end.
"Boom—"
Another explosion rang out, sending the Fallen flying dozens of meters backward. Looking at the dense energy emanating from the two people in front of him, his expression turned grim.
The Fallen One said in a hoarse voice, "You guys are really willing to go all out. You actually activated your Martial Soul True Body just to deal with me. Even at your current level, you'll be weak for four or five days afterward, right?"
"What does it matter if I'm weakened for a few days, as long as I can kill you?"
A bright moon floated in the water behind Shuiyue Ruo, emitting a faint light, and she sneered at the Fallen One.
Huo Yangyan, who had already transformed into a one-horned fire dragon, echoed, "That's right, today is your death day."
The True Form of Martial Soul is an ability possessed only by Soul Saints. After using it, Soul Masters will not only receive a significant boost, but their first six Soul Skills will also enter a state with no cooldown for thirty minutes.
The price is that one will be in a weakened state for a period of time after the event, and this side effect can only be eliminated after breaking through to the Soul Master Title Douluo level.
"If that's the case, then none of us should live!"
Suddenly, the Fallen One's aura surged, surpassing that of a Soul Saint and reaching the level of a Soul Douluo.
Upon seeing this, Shui Yue Ruo and Huo Yang Yan's expressions changed. This Fallen One actually had a backup plan!
However, just as Shui Yue Ruo and Huo Yang Yan subconsciously went to defend themselves, the Fallen One turned around and fled into the distance!
"Oh no, he's trying to escape!"
Seeing this, Shuiyue realized she had fallen into a trap.
"We must not let him escape!"
Huo Yangyan chased after him almost without hesitation.
To deal with madmen like the Fallen Ones, it's best not to provoke them at all, but if you do, you must completely eliminate them.
Otherwise, once the other party catches their breath, his family and friends, and even the entire Blazing Academy, will suffer fierce retaliation.
However, the Fallen Ones, who were good at escaping, got away first, especially since the two who reacted later could catch up. Soon, Shuiyue Ruo and Huoyang Yan lost track of them.
Then, Shui Yue Ruo and Huo Yang Yan exchanged a glance, their faces both extremely grim.
"Damn it, he got away!"
In a fit of anger, Shui Yue kicked a large tree beside her, and the tree snapped in two with a crack.
Huo Yangyan sighed, "I'm sorry for dragging you into this."
Having escaped this time, the Fallen Ones will definitely seek revenge on the two academies, unless they go to the Killing City. They might even take revenge first before going to the Killing City.
"No, this is not your fault!"
Shui Yue Ruo shook her head, somewhat unwillingly saying, "If that old guy Feng Qingcang were here, with his speed, there would be no way this Fallen One could escape."
"His college is in a different direction from ours, so it's impossible for us to go the same way."
Immediately afterward, Huo Yangyan changed the subject and continued, "We should go back. The other two Fallen Ones are quite strong, and it wouldn't be good if that person turned back, as it could be detrimental to our students."
"Too!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two transformed into two streaks of light, one blue and one red, and quickly headed towards their students' location.
Running at full speed, the two quickly arrived at the location of Shui Wuhen and the others. Seeing that no one was in trouble, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Yangyan walked up to Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu and praised the group from Blazing Fire Academy, saying, "You did a great job! You were able to kill a Fallen Soul King."
Although Huo Yangyan knew that Tianshui Academy must have helped in this, it was still quite remarkable that one person could take down a Fallen One.
After all, the strength of this Fallen One is even greater than that of an ordinary Soul King.
However, after hearing Huo Yangyan's praise, the people from Blazing Fire Academy looked somewhat embarrassed.
Because the actual situation was completely different from what Huo Yangyan had imagined.
Huo Yangyan naturally noticed the change in everyone's expressions and immediately asked Huo Wushuang, "Wushuang, tell me what just happened?"
Seeing his father call his name, Huo Wushuang had no choice but to step forward and point at Shui Wuhen, explaining, "Actually, it was Brother Wuhen who killed these two Fallen Ones. We didn't help at all."
"Oh? Wuhen?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yangyan immediately turned his gaze to Shui Wuhen, following the direction of the finger.
After carefully observing Shui Wuhen for a while, Huo Yangyan suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "So you're here too, kid. That makes no surprise!"
"Do you recognize me?"
Upon hearing this, Shui Wuhen looked at Huo Yangyan with a puzzled expression.
Huo Yangyan replied with a smile, "I watched you fight when you were young at the Four Elements Academy Exchange Meeting two years ago. It's a pity you left too quickly, and I still don't know your identity."
Generally speaking, Huo Yangyan wouldn't remember a child, but the feeling Shui Wuhen gave him at the time was so amazing that he even regretted missing out on such a genius as Shui Wuhen for a while.
"Oh, I see."
After hearing Huo Yangyan's explanation, Shui Wuhen nodded gently.
He did indeed go with Shui Bing'er to witness the exchange meeting held within the Four Elements Academy, and he even remembered fighting against someone named Feng Xiaotian. He wondered how Feng Xiaotian was doing now.
"Alright, Wuhen, go check if our carriage is still usable. If not, we'll probably have to walk to Tiandou City."
At this moment, seeing that the situation was not good, Shui Yue Ruo smiled and stepped between the two, giving instructions to Shui Wu Hen.
Upon hearing this, Shui Wuhen did not hesitate for a moment and immediately set off to check the condition of their carriage.
After Shui Wuhen left, Shui Yue Ruo punched Huo Yang Yan and said fiercely, "Huo Yang Yan, I'm warning you, Wuhen is a member of our Tianshui Academy. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Waterless Trace is her winning formula, Tianshui Academy's trump card in their quest for the championship. If it gets poached, that would be disastrous.
Huo Yangyan couldn't help but find Shui Yue Ruo's appearance amusing: "Shui Yue Ruo, do you think everyone is as sensitive as you? Shui Wuhen isn't a fire-attribute soul master, what can I do to him?"
"But I'm surprised he's from your Tianshui team. I didn't hear you changed the academy rules to allow male students."
"Can't I change the rules? Wuhen is the older brother of my personally taught disciple Bing'er. The two are very close, so it's reasonable for me to make an exception for a while, isn't it?"
However, even as Shuiyue said this, her eyes still unconsciously drifted outwards.
Clearly, she was also a little guilty, because her actions were essentially asking for outside help. Shui Wuhen was not a genius trained by Tianshui Academy, which was somewhat unfair to other academies.
