One versus seven in a team battle—where are the rest of the teammates?
Apologies, but in past Soul Master Competitions, even the contestant with the highest soul power level from the Blazing Fire Academy team would, at best, only rank average among the Spirit Hall team members. In many cases, they would be near the bottom, with few exceptions.
Of course, this situation wasn't unique to Blazing Fire Academy. The same applied to the other elemental academies, not to mention the less prominent advanced academies.
After all, more than half of the continent's Soul Masters joined Spirit Hall, naturally concentrating talented Soul Masters within their ranks.
For example, if all the advanced academies on the continent, excluding Spirit Academy, were to combine their efforts to form a single seven-member team, they would barely manage to gather seven high-level Soul Ancestors under 25 years old.
However, times have changed. The inability of Blazing Fire Academy to win the competition is a thing of the past.
Although they stand little chance this year, Blazing Fire Academy has an almost certain chance of winning the next competition.
Huo Wushuang's soul power level is at 39, nearing the Soul Ancestor level. Huo Wu is also close to breaking through to four rings.
With five more years of cultivation, by the time the next competition begins, the siblings will undoubtedly have reached the Soul King level with five rings.
Year-limit soul rings, powerful martial souls, and profound techniques—all of these make them virtually invincible among peers, which is no exaggeration.
This was something Huo Wushuang could never have imagined before. The immortal herbs had been incredibly effective, speeding up cultivation even faster than when he was at the two-ring level.
Additionally, although his younger cousin Mu Yang's soul power level isn't high, his cultivation speed is remarkable.
Five years from now, even if Mu Yang hasn't reached the Soul King level, he'll still be a high-level Soul Ancestor. With his profound secret techniques and his annoying Ice Flame, Huo Wushuang figures he might not be able to defeat him.
Based on the standards of past competitions, the three of them alone could easily win against a seven-person team—or even a seven-person team with four substitutes!
The four other teammates: "Do you hear yourself?"
"Xiao Yang, you spend all your time at the academy cultivating, never making friends or enjoying any leisure activities. That's no way to live. In a couple of days, our academy's team will head to Heaven Dou City for the competition. Why don't you come along to watch?"
Huo Wushuang asked Mu Yang.
"Of course, I'm going!"
Mu Yang immediately nodded.
He had already written to Shui Bing'er, inviting her to watch the competition together. Whether or not she agreed, he was going to Heaven Dou City.
Judging by how every letter he sent her was answered without any sign of annoyance, Shui Bing'er probably wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, the Soul Master Competition is the largest event in the Soul Master world, far more lively than the World Cup or the Olympics from his past life. Any Soul Master with the means to attend wouldn't miss it unless they were too busy.
"Heh~ Brother, asking him is pointless. Xiao Yang is definitely going!" Huo Wu said with a laugh.
"Huh? Why's that?" Huo Wushuang asked, puzzled.
"As far as I know, someone has been frequently writing letters to a girl from another academy. With such a grand event as the Soul Master Competition, wouldn't he want to meet her to deepen their bond?" Huo Wu teased, winking at Mu Yang.
"A girl? Who? Oh, I know! Shui Bing'er from Sky Water Academy, right? Little brother, your big bro has high hopes for you. Keep it up!"
Huo Wushuang gave Mu Yang a hearty pat on the shoulder, looking pleased.
Age difference? What's six years? Start young as childhood sweethearts, and they'll eventually grow up together.
With Mu Yang's talent and Shui Bing'er's matching abilities, if they truly had mutual affection, neither set of parents would have any reason to oppose.
Mu Yang rolled his eyes. "Nothing's certain yet! What are you two even talking about? Speaking of which, Brother Wushuang, have you ever held a girl's hand? Tsk, sixteen years old, halfway through your teenage years, and no girlfriend yet?"
"Mind your own business, kid!"
Huo Wushuang's face froze, and he replied with slight irritation.
"Could it be that you can't find a girlfriend? No way, right? Are you saying our amazing Brother Wushuang has no charm? Tsk tsk~ You're doomed. You're going to be a bachelor."
Mu Yang exaggerated his expression in mock sympathy.
Just six years older than me—what's with the big-brother act?
'Bachelor?'
Huo Wushuang's face darkened as he stared at his sharp-tongued little cousin.
"Xiao Yang, your comments are hitting the wrong targets. Your sister is also single!"
At this moment, Huo Wu reached out and poked Mu Yang on the back of the head, clearly annoyed.
"Uh…"
Mu Yang froze for a moment before asking, "Isn't Feng Xiaotian from Divine Wind Academy pursuing you? I often see the gatekeeper delivering letters from him to our home."
Unlike Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, who exchanged letters, Feng Xiaotian had yet to receive any reply from Huo Wu.
This wasn't because Huo Wu was cold or pretentious; it was because Feng Xiaotian had left a terrible first impression. Challenging Blazing Fire Academy in public? There was no way Huo Wu would treat him kindly.
"Ha! Your sister would never agree to Feng Xiaotian's pursuit! I'm looking for a prince on a white horse."
Hands on her hips, Huo Wu raised her head arrogantly.
It's official. My cousin is poisoned by romance novels.
Mu Yang: "…"
Within three seconds, Mu Yang had devised the easiest way for Feng Xiaotian to become his cousin-in-law.
Go to Heaven Dou City, acknowledge Xue Xing as his godfather, and with Feng Xiaotian's innate full soul power, no one would refuse him as a godson.
A prince by title, ride a white horse later, and voila—Prince Charming.
A week later, early in the morning, three large carriages departed from the gates of Blazing Fire Academy, heading along the official road to Heaven Dou City.
Aside from the drivers, the group from Blazing Fire Academy included the ten contestants of this year's Blazing Fire team, the dean Huo Lie, and the vice-dean Mu Xiyue, who acted as the team leader.
Joining them were Mu Yang, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Huo Yun.
Mu Yang's inclusion was expected. As for Huo Yun, he was one of Blazing Fire Academy's key trainees. Though young, his talent wasn't bad.
Currently, he was a three-ring Soul Elder. In five years, he would likely reach the Soul Ancestor level, becoming a mainstay of the Blazing Fire team. Huo Lie had brought him along to broaden his horizons.
It's worth noting that this year's Blazing Fire team was no weaker than the team in the original story.
In terms of soul power levels, they were even stronger.
While the seven main members still consisted of three four-ring Soul Ancestors and four three-ring Soul Elders, their captain, Huo Ling, had reached level 46—a few levels higher than the original Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.
