While Yu Xiaowei was training at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Feng Xiaotian was already at the gates of Lanba Academy, going crazy.
"Damn it, that bastard really wants to ditch me."
Originally, he and Yu Xiaowei had agreed to go to the Sunset Forest to help him with the act of chasing Huo Wu in three days. But now, three days had passed, and Yu Xiaowei was still nowhere to be seen.
When he asked the students of Lanba Academy, they all said he had hurried off with the dean yesterday and hadn't returned since.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian suddenly felt dizzy.
At Chihuo Academy, if it hadn't been for his informants constantly stalling for time, Huo Wu and the others would've already left.
But now, it seemed they couldn't delay any longer.
"WDNMD, damn you Godzilla Yu Xiaowei, you took the money and bailed, you totally scammed me!"
Furious, Feng Xiaotian began cursing loudly at the school gate.
After swearing the whole morning, he could only reluctantly admit defeat and rush to Chihuo Academy.
Meanwhile, at the Qibao Liuli Sect, the collapse of the training hall caused an uproar.
In an instant, the disciples remaining at the sect mistakenly thought someone was attacking. They dropped everything and rushed to the scene of the ruins.
Cough cough cough—
After a heavy coughing fit, Gu Rong shielded Yu Xiaowei as they emerged from the smoke and dust.
"Uncle Gu! What happened?"
"Elder Gu, are we being invaded?"
Seeing that it was Gu Rong who emerged, Ning Fengzhi and a strange old man with white hair were surprised.
Gu Rong waved his hand, signaling everything was fine, and then leapt out of the rubble.
After fanning away the smoke and dust in front of him, he pointed at Yu Xiaowei with an embarrassed expression and said,
"Ask your son-in-law what he's done!"
"Haha, Uncle Ning, I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. I don't have money to pay for your losses—talk to my father about it."
Covered in dust, Yu Xiaowei scratched his head and turned to run.
"Stop!"
Ning Fengzhi shouted and grabbed his collar.
However, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he spoke kindly:
"The hall's collapsed anyway, and your uncle was planning to rebuild it."
"But you still have to come to the meeting hall and explain what just happened."
Seeing no way to talk his way out of it, Yu Xiaowei could only hang his head and follow him.
But how could a father-in-law embarrass his son-in-law?
After a few questions, Ning Fengzhi couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
A Battle Soul Master with a domain was drastically different in strength compared to one without.
And a genius Battle Soul Master like this becoming his son-in-law—Ning Fengzhi felt like he was floating just thinking about it.
After some thought, Ning Fengzhi took out a soul guide and handed it to Yu Xiaowei.
"Xiaowei, Uncle Jian got this from Tang Hao when he was capturing a soul beast."
"It's top quality, much better than the soul guide you're using now."
"I know you like soul bones, but since we can't kill soul beasts right now, I'll give you this belt instead."
Looking at the belt-shaped soul guide in his hand, inlaid with 24 milky-white jade stones, Yu Xiaowei grinned.
What nonsense—this came from Tang Hao?
Wasn't this Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night?
After bathing at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and changing into clean clothes, Yu Xiaowei took out all the hidden weapons from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night and dumped them in the trash.
Then he strapped the beautiful belt to his waist and walked toward Blue Tyrant Academy, pondering how to deal with Tang San.
To be honest, Tang San's talent was impressive.
But Yu Xiaowei really disliked his personality.
Especially that line:
"If you believe your opponent is an enemy, as long as there's a way to kill them, don't show mercy—otherwise it'll only cause more trouble for yourself."
When Tang San said this, who was he even talking to?
Just a weak gatekeeper, not even a soul master.
Just because he spoke harshly, he deserved to die?
Ha! Ha!
What is the Xuantian Treasure Record? Just call it the Tang Sect's Code of Ruthlessness.
And soon, Xiao Wu was going to become roast rabbit. Did that mean Yu Xiaowei had found a way to slice her up?
Meow, if not for Tang Xiao, a Rank 97 Title Douluo, he wouldn't let Tang Hao and Tang San off this time.
Actually, this was the biggest complication with capturing Xiao Wu.
As long as Tang Hao was alive, the Spirit Hall wouldn't stop targeting the Clear Sky Sect.
At that point, the three great sects would fall into internal strife. No matter who won, both sides would suffer heavy losses.
The Spirit Hall could just sit back and reap the rewards—something Yu Xiaowei absolutely didn't want to see.
But letting Tang Hao and Tang San go would mean leaving two hidden threats.
Especially since those two would never give up—you never knew when they'd strike back.
It seemed necessary to send people to the Star Dou Great Forest to locate the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King.
Based on Yu Xiaowei's guess, Tang Hao's strength had likely dropped below Title Douluo after detonating two spirit rings in a row.
So he wouldn't show himself openly. He was probably hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest, teaching Tang San the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
Once Tang San mastered it, he'd be sent to the Slaughter City.
During this time gap, Yu Xiaowei and the others could go kill the Blue Silver King. Maybe another 80,000-year spirit bone would drop, and while they were at it, they might even find Tang San's mother.
Just as he approached the gates of Blue Tyrant Academy, gatekeeper Li Yusong called out to him.
"Yu Xiaowei, a guy named Feng Xiaotian came looking for you today."
"He cursed your name all morning and left around noon."
"When he left, he told me to tell you that if he doesn't see you at Sunset Forest today, he'll expose all the shady things you asked him to do!"
Hearing that, Yu Xiaowei slapped his forehead. He had completely forgotten about Feng Xiaotian.
And now it was already dark—he didn't even know if Huo Wu and the others were back. If they'd already finished hunting all the soul rings, it would be terrible.
In the Sunset Forest—
Old Man Huo of Blazing Academy was setting up camp with Huo Wu and the others. For his daughter's fourth soul ring, he had selected a 4,000-year-old Qingyan Hunting Eagle.
This soul beast had excellent attack power and was a rare high-level fire-type beast.
But the problem was that Old Man Huo couldn't fly, so they only managed to injure the eagle without catching it.
After tracking it for a whole day and as night fell, Old Man Huo gave the order to set up camp and rest.
But the camp wasn't peaceful—there were always some annoying voices.
"Sister Huo Wu, let me help you."
"Sister Huo Wu, are you tired?"
"Sister Huo Wu, are you thirsty?"
"Sister Huo Wu…"
As for Feng Xiaotian, who kept sticking to his daughter, Old Man Huo had a splitting headache just looking at him.
This full soul-power genius from Divine Wind Academy was excellent, but sadly, his daughter had no feelings for him at all. Old Man Huo didn't know what to do about it.
During today's soul beast hunt, it was fortunate Feng Xiaotian could fly and trap the eagle, or else Old Man Huo would never have had the chance to injure it.
Just as everyone was setting up camp—
A woman in red and a burly man with glasses appeared with several students.
As soon as he saw Feng Xiaotian, Yu Tianheng pointed at him and said to Liu Erlong:
"Auntie, that's the guy who beat us up last time!"
Upon hearing her nephew's words, Liu Erlong suddenly exploded, and seven soul rings flashed in the forest as she roared at Feng Xiaotian:
"You brat from Kamikaze Academy! So it was you who blocked the school gate and beat up my nephew last time!"
"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson—you'll learn why the flowers are red!"
