Shui Bing'er was reminiscing with her old friends from Tianshui College and talking about their experiences in recent years.
Shuiyueer took Ning Rongrong's hand and excitedly introduced the special attractions of Tianshui City. The two agreed to go shopping together tomorrow.
Cao Qing and Oscar got together; one was studying new defensive techniques, and the other was thinking about developing new sausage flavors using ingredients from Tianshui City. The scene was particularly interesting.
As time passed, the banquet gradually came to an end.
The guests stood up and said goodbye one after another. Mizunotsuki personally sent everyone to the door of the City Lord's Mansion and reminded everyone with a smile, "The individual competition will continue tomorrow. I look forward to your performance."
Xue Tianxing and his group also said goodbye to Mizunoe and walked towards the villa where they lived.
Tianshui City is exceptionally quiet at night. The moonlight shines on the bluestone road, reflecting the figures of everyone.
Xue Tian walked in the middle of the team, looking at his companions who were talking and laughing around him, his heart was filled with peace and satisfaction - although he was unable to participate in the Elemental Academy's competition this time, he was able to see his companions happy, understand the strength of other academies, and unexpectedly witnessed Feng Xiaotian's "infatuation", which was considered a fruitful experience.
The next morning, the Tianshui Fighting Spirit Arena became lively again - the individual competition of the five elemental academies was about to begin.
Xue Tianxing and his group arrived at the audience seats early, ready to witness this one-on-one competition between young soul masters.
Compared to the coordination and cooperation in team competitions, individual competitions can better highlight the soul master's personal strength and combat wisdom, and are more exciting.
With the referee's command, the individual competition officially began.
The talented students from each academy took the stage one after another, the light of their martial spirits flickered continuously in the fighting arena, and the roar of the collision of soul skills rose one after another.
Among all the participating students, Feng Xiaotian from the Kamikaze Academy is undoubtedly the most dazzling one - his innate full soul power foundation, coupled with the mutated two-headed wind wolf martial soul, makes him far superior to soul masters of the same level in speed and attack power.
What's even more rare is that he also possesses his own soul skill, "Thirty-six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf". This soul skill is not only extremely explosive, but can also be flexibly adjusted according to the situation on the battlefield, making him almost impossible to beat in the competition.
Xue Tianxing sat in the audience, watching Feng Xiaotian's game with interest.
Feng Xiaotian was surrounded by light green wind elements, and his figure was moving around in the fighting arena like a ghost. The wolf claw soul bone in his hand was flashing with cold light, and every attack was accompanied by a sharp gust of wind.
Facing the Thunder Martial Soul of Yu Tianxin from the Thunder Academy, he easily dodged the lightning attack with his extreme speed, and then used his self-created soul skill to win with one blow; against Hu Yanli from the Elephant Armor Academy, he used the flexibility of the wind element to bypass the opponent's defense, focus on its weak points, and ultimately win with a slight advantage.
After one game after another, Feng Xiaotian won all the way and successfully entered the finals. His opponent in the finals was Huo Wu from Chihuo Academy.
This "wind and fire showdown" is undoubtedly the highlight of this individual competition.
The atmosphere in the audience instantly became heated, and everyone was looking forward to this powerful clash.
Xue Tianxing also sat up straight, secretly guessing in his heart:
Feng Xiaotian's speed and self-created soul skills, Huo Wu's flame range attack and control ability, both have their advantages; this match is likely to be very exciting.
However, the course of the game was beyond everyone's expectations.
After the finals began, Huo Wu was the first to release her martial spirit, and flames ignited all over her body. The scorching temperature caused the surrounding air to slightly distort.
Feng Xiaotian also released the two-headed wind wolf martial spirit, and the light blue wind element formed a sharp contrast with Huo Wu's flames.
After a brief standoff between the two, Huo Wu took the lead in attacking, sending a pillar of fire towards Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian dodged the attack easily with a flash of his body, then launched a counterattack towards Huo Wu. Wind elements condensed on his wolf claws, and he was about to hit Huo Wu - but at this moment, Feng Xiaotian's movements suddenly stopped, his body staggered, and a "painful" expression appeared on his face, as if his soul power was exhausted.
Huo Wu was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then she reacted and took advantage of Feng Xiaotian's "weakness" to slap him with a flaming palm.
Feng Xiaotian fell backwards and directly fell out of the boundary of the fighting arena.
The referee saw this and immediately announced:
"Huo Wu wins and takes first place in this individual competition!"
There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone looked confused - Feng Xiaotian was clearly in the upper hand just now, so how could he suddenly "exhaust his soul power"?
Xue Tianxing shook his head helplessly and understood in his heart:
Feng Xiaotian didn't seem to be running out of energy at all; he was clearly "putting on a show" on purpose to let Huo Wu win!
Not only Xue Tianxing, but the teachers from the five-element academies also noticed something.
The teachers at Blazing Fire Academy tried hard to suppress their laughter and pretended not to notice; the teachers at Tianshui Academy, Thunder Academy, and Xiangjia Academy laughed out loud without trying to hide their laughter.
Only the teacher from the Kamikaze Academy had a sullen expression on his face. He stared speechlessly at Feng Xiaotian in the fighting arena, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and secretly made up his mind:
When we get back to Kamikaze Academy, we must take this shameful guy out for some serious training to teach him what "competitive spirit" is!
In the fighting arena, Huo Wu stood there with an extremely ugly expression.
Although she wanted to win and take first place, what she wanted was a fair victory, not a championship that Feng Xiaotian deliberately gave up!
She could imagine how strange the eyes of the people around her would look at her. Some people might even say, "Huo Wu took advantage of Feng Xiaotian's liking for her and made Feng Xiaotian lose to her on purpose." How could she, who was always so proud, tolerate this?
Feng Xiaotian got up from the ground, thinking that Huo Wu would come to comfort him. He walked towards Huo Wu with an expectant smile on his face.
But before Feng Xiaotian could speak, Huo Wu said coldly:
"Feng Xiaotian, do you think I'll be happy if you do this? It will only make me more annoyed with you!"
After saying that, Huo Wu turned around and left without even looking back at Feng Xiaotian.
The smile on Feng Xiaotian's face froze instantly, and he stood there in a daze, his eyes full of surprise and loss - he was obviously trying to make Huo Wu happy, so why did Huo Wu hate him even more?
In the audience, Xue Tianxing watched this scene and sighed helplessly:
"Feng Xiaotian's intentions are good, but his intentions are bad. He has no idea what Huo Wu wants, and he only tries to please her in his own way, which only backfires."
Shui Bing'er also nodded, with a hint of regret in her tone:
"Huo Wu cares most about her face and dignity. Feng Xiaotian's actions are undoubtedly trampling on her pride. I'm afraid that after this incident, Huo Wu's impression of him will be even worse."
Feng Xiaotian, in the fighting arena, was still in a daze, while Huo Wu's figure had disappeared at the entrance.
This final, which should have been exciting, ended in such a "farce" and made everyone remember Feng Xiaotian, the "overly infatuated" genius soul master.
