Tall and slender, with a strikingly well-proportioned figure, Huo Wu always carried a faint smile on her face. A subtle red glow shimmered around her body.
Huo Wu glanced at Zhang Fan, and the moment their eyes met, she felt a bit shy and quickly looked away.
She wasn't even twenty years old yet.
She was the youngest prodigy at Blazing Fire Academy. After intense training, her spirit power had reached Level 44. She believed that both her martial soul and spirit power were stronger than others her age.
But standing in front of the handsome Zhang Fan, she felt powerless.
Even her brother had been easily defeated by him.
She wasn't confident at all.
Still, even if she lost, she had to give it her all.
Otherwise, Zhang Fan would really think little of her.
"Buzz…"
Behind her, a faint orange-red shadow slowly emerged. It looked exactly like her—an illusory Flame Shadow, full of a dreamlike feeling.
This was her martial soul: Flame Shadow.
A fire-element shadow, a unique martial soul that maximized the use of fire elements.
"Swish…"Huo Wu suddenly lunged at Zhang Fan.
Of course, she wouldn't sit back and wait—she attacked directly.
"Ring of Fire Repulsion!"Huo Wu shouted in a low voice. A dazzling orange-red ring of light burst out instantly, covering a radius of sixty meters.
"Swish…"Zhang Fan's hand transformed into a dragon claw and swiped forward.
"Bang…" Sparks flew as he shattered the Ring of Fire Repulsion instantly. But Huo Wu had already leapt up, performing a 360-degree spin.
"Ding, story alteration mission triggered."
[Huo Wu performs a 360-degree flip kick toward you.]You may change up to four characters. Nine edits available per day.
Zhang Fan smirked. He hadn't expected a mission to pop up now. Without hesitation, he changed the word "kick" to "kiss."
"Ding, story alteration successful. Minor chaos in plot. Reward: 50 modification points."
"Ah…"Huo Wu realized she had flipped too far—and was now upside down, kissing Zhang Fan.
Head down, feet up.
While Zhang Fan stood upright.
"Smack…" Their lips met.
The scene… was downright bizarre.
And hilarious.
Huo Wu's mind went completely blank. She couldn't believe something so strange had happened. How could she end up kissing Zhang Fan like this?
It almost drove her insane.
Her face was completely red. She couldn't believe this had actually happened.
Hanging upside down…
She couldn't help but feel shy.
"Whoa… this world really has it all. Even this can happen?"
"Damn… that's… impressive…"
Everyone watching was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene.
Xiao Wu looked jealous. She hadn't even gotten this close with Brother Fan, and now Huo Wu just—
She couldn't help stomping her foot.
Ning Rongrong was full of envy too.
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned a little red but she said nothing.
Shui Bing'er was speechless. How could something like this happen?
"Damn! That damned Zhang Fan, lucky bastard! Why does he always get all the good stuff?"Tang San was frozen for a few seconds, burning with envy.
He dreamed of having a beauty kiss him like that.
But in reality, Zhang Fan kept hitting jackpot after jackpot.
He was like the chosen one.
While he, Tang San, seemed more like the cursed one, plagued by bad luck.
He was starting to question life.
"Damn!"Yu Xiaogang was consumed by jealousy. This damn brat got all the benefits while he got all the bad luck.
Just thinking about the contrast made him doubt his very existence. "How is your luck this good, man?"
"Ugh! I can't take it!" Even Dai Mubai was on the verge of a breakdown. He was speechless with jealousy.
How could Zhang Fan end up with every beauty?
Well, actually… it was the beauties who kept throwing themselves at Zhang Fan.
"This is outrageous! OUTRAGEOUS!"
"How can this even happen?"Ning Fengzhi didn't even know what to say.
Seeing his daughter jealous, he just shook his head helplessly. But really, what could he do?
After all, Rongrong liked Zhang Fan.
And Zhang Fan seemed blessed by fate itself.
All the good things, all the romance, just kept coming to him.
Even the referee couldn't bear to keep watching.
After that, Huo Wu flipped back upright and landed two meters in front of Zhang Fan, her face burning red."I'm not fighting anymore!" she said shyly.
"Hmm? So you're admitting defeat?"Zhang Fan shrugged as he looked at her.
"Yes!"Huo Wu walked off the stage. No one saw that coming.
"Uh…"Huo Wushuang was at a loss for words. "Sis, you didn't do that on purpose, did you?"
"Do you think I'd do that on purpose? I just…"Huo Wu couldn't believe it herself. "I was trying to attack him! How'd it turn into that..."
"Alright then! I'll believe you!"Huo Wushuang gave her a knowing look—one that clearly didn't believe her.
Huo Wushuang was at a complete loss.
Blazing Fire Academy naturally lost to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan soloed all seven of them.
Absolutely unbeatable. No martial soul or spirit rings used—still won effortlessly.
Huo Wu had no complaints.
After what just happened, she didn't even want to fight anymore. That's why she surrendered.
Not that she would've won anyway.
Once the referee declared Shrek Academy the winner…
They left.
Days passed. Soon it was the sixth day of the tournament. In the first five matches, Shrek had remained undefeated.
Against weaker teams, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others were sent up to get some battle experience.
Zhang Fan didn't go up every day.
Today, Shrek's opponent was Botany Academy.
Today, Shrek sent up three substitutes: Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Tai Long, letting them get a taste of defeat.
They were completely wiped out.
The opponent's martial soul was a type of vine, similar to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. With spirit power at Level 41 and control-based abilities, he totally countered the trio.
Used up quite a bit of spirit power to beat all three.
"So this is all Shrek's got?" the opponent said arrogantly.
"Brother Fan, I really want to go up there and kick him!"Xiao Wu pouted at Zhang Fan, looking annoyed.
"Go for it!"Zhang Fan nodded. If Xiao Wu went up, she'd easily beat that guy.
"Swish…"Xiao Wu flashed onto the arena. "You only beat our substitutes. What's there to be so arrogant about?"
Four spirit rings rose beneath her feet—two yellow, two purple. Her martial soul, Soft-Boned Demon Rabbit, was summoned.
"Little girl, you'd better back down. If I hurt you by accident, that wouldn't be good," the young man said with a smile, but his eyes were full of contempt.
"No way. You'll be begging for mercy soon."Xiao Wu pouted with confidence.
"Come on then!" The youth from Botany Academy raised four spirit rings—two yellow, two purple. Vines appeared in his hands."Swish swish…" Dense vines shot toward Xiao Wu.
But Xiao Wu suddenly vanished into thin air.
