Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 – A Different Feng Xiaotian

"It's you!? Shui Wuhen!"

Looking at Shui Wuhen and the Articuno on his body, this familiar combination caused a fierce glint to flash in the young man's eyes as he stared back at Shui Wuhen.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

As Shui Wuhen looked at the young man in front of her, who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, a memory flashed through her mind.

It was at the Four Elements Academy Exchange Meeting six years ago. After wandering around for a while, he discovered a young Soul Master who was trying to create his own Soul Skill.

That was the first time he had seen someone else create their own soul skill. So, with a sense of excitement, he used his newly created Frost Slash - Instant Triple Slash, based on his second soul skill, Triple Spin Strike, to exchange blows with the opponent's Gale Wolf Six-Hit Combo a few times.

To Shui Wuhen's surprise, despite being much lower level than his opponent, he almost effortlessly broke through the opponent's Gale Wolf Six-Hit Combo, directly causing the opponent's Dao Heart to collapse.

So much so that when Shui Wuhen went back to that place a few days later, the other person was no longer there.

Yes, the young man whose Dao heart was once broken by Shui Wuhen is none other than Feng Xiaotian in front of us.

In retrospect, my actions not only failed to discourage the other party, but actually made them stronger and more confident after emerging from the shadows.

With her thoughts returning to their original state, Shui Wuhen said without changing her expression, "Feng Xiaotian, how have you been?"

"Good! Very good! I knew you wouldn't miss this elite competition."

Feng Xiaotian's lips curled up slightly. When he met Shui Wuhen again, he no longer felt the disappointment he had when he was defeated. Instead, he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

He was confident that with his current strength, he could sweep aside the other academies by himself.

Of course, things changed after Shui Wuhen appeared; he became an opponent that he could take seriously.

Meanwhile, the others who witnessed this scene had various expressions.

Feng Qingcang thought to himself, "So this kid is Shui Wuhen, the one who turned Feng Xiaotian into this kind of person!"

After learning that Shui Wuhen was the one who turned Feng Xiaotian into this person, Feng Qingcang's gaze towards Shui Wuhen changed slightly.

According to Feng Xiaotian, Shui Wuhen is the strongest genius in the world throughout history.

Even the thought of Feng Xiaotian's often-repeated phrases made Feng Qingcang's lips twitch involuntarily.

"In the world today, the only unparalleled geniuses among Soul Masters are Feng Xiaotian and Shui Wuhen; all the others are nothing but chickens and dogs."

—Feng Xiaotian

Thinking of this, Feng Qingcang couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "How did I, a genius with innate full soul power, end up like this?"

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian walked step by step towards Shui Wuhen, and the fluctuations of his soul power gradually increased.

Shui Wuhen calmly observed the scene and asked, "Are you planning to start a fight here?"

However, upon hearing Shui Wuhen's words, Feng Xiaotian shook his head, and the fluctuations of his soul power immediately dissipated.

"No, let's hold it in the elite competition. It'll be more interesting, won't it?"

After saying that, Feng Xiaotian turned around and returned to his small courtyard.

He might have had things to do originally, but after Shui Wuhen appeared, he only had one thing left to do: conserve his energy and prepare for the final battle with Shui Wuhen.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Huo Wu's crimson eyes watched Feng Xiaotian's departing figure, her gaze filled with a strange light.

"Brother, have you seen that person before?"

Shui Bing'er leaned close to Shui Wuhen and asked in a low voice.

Shui Wuhen replied, "Do you remember the Four Elements Academy exchange competition six years ago? I met him there."

"I see. But I think there's something off about this guy. Brother, you'd better stay away from him in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er nodded, and then reminded Shui Wuhen.

Shui Bing'er was somewhat displeased by Shui Wuhen's reaction to Feng Xiaotian, because she actually saw a hint of respect in Shui Wuhen's eyes.

Although this attention was negligible, Shui Bing'er still felt uncomfortable, as if something that belonged exclusively to her had been taken away.

Shui Wuhen patted Shui Bing'er's head. "Your brother knows what to do about these things."

"snort!"

Shui Bing'er pouted and gave a soft hum, somewhat dissatisfied with Shui Wuhen's reaction.

Afterwards, Shui Yue Ruo led the group from Tianshui Academy into the courtyard and began assigning rooms.

"Bing'er, Xuewu, you will stay in this room."

"Yue'er, Qiu Ruoshui, you will stay in this room."

"Gu Qingbo, Yu Hairou, which room will you be staying in?"

......

"As for leaving no trace..."

Finally, Shui Yue Ruo looked at Shui Wu Hen and said, "You can stay in the room next to Bing'er and Xue Wu."

Upon hearing this, Shui Wuhen nodded, and then, together with Articuno, headed towards the room assigned by Shui Yue Ruo.

Seeing this, the girls from Tianshui Academy curled their lips. They thought they could find a roommate, but Shui Yue Ruo didn't give them the chance at all.

Looking at the expressions on the women's faces, Shui Yue Ruo felt a sense of smugness: "You little punks, you think you can outsmart me? All your little tricks are things I've already figured out."

Meanwhile, at Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu chose her room, familiarized herself with it for a while, and then quickly walked out of the Blazing Fire Academy's residential courtyard, heading towards Divine Wind Academy.

In the pavilion outside the courtyard, Feng Qingcang watched this scene and said to Huo Yangyan beside him with a playful expression, "Brother Yangyan, your daughter has gone to find that brat Xiaotian again!"

"Hmph! So what? That kid Feng Xiaotian is a perfect match for my daughter, not a bad deal at all!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yangyan's face darkened, but he still stubbornly insisted.

Since the Four Elements Exchange Conference three years ago, Huo Wu was immediately attracted to the confident and flamboyant Feng Xiaotian and fell in love with him.

In the time that followed, Huo Wu would go to see Feng Xiaotian whenever she had the chance, but Feng Xiaotian didn't seem to be very interested in her. The progress between the two was negligible, if not nonexistent.

It was at this time that Huo Wu learned of the name Shui Wuhen. After learning that he was the rival that Feng Xiaotian often mentioned, she naturally developed hostility towards Shui Wuhen.

This is why she was so excited when she heard Shui Wuhen's name before.

Seeing that Huo Yangyan was stubborn, Feng Qingcang was not annoyed. He just continued to stab the other party in the heart, saying, "But I see that Xiaotian doesn't seem to like your daughter very much. In fact, he seems to dislike her now. Is this really a good thing?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yangyan fell silent. When someone is not interested in others, no matter how actively and frantically they pursue them, or how much time and energy they spend, it will only bring annoyance.

After a moment, Huo Yangyan sighed: "Let the younger generation handle their own affairs. They'll take care of it."
