On mention of Tang San, Huo Wu's eyes revealed a somewhat peculiar luster. Her attachment to pursuing strength was in no way inferior to any male Spirit Master. Tang San's strength no doubt held a great attractive force to her. Of course, it wasn't the kind of attraction between opposite sex. The only thought in Huo Wu's heart was how to surpass Tang San, defeat Tang San. Even if Tang San saved her life that day, she was still unable to expel that kind of thought from her mind.
Feng Xiaotian probed:
"Then, little sister Huo Wu, that matter between us..."
Huo Wu frowned, replying:
"What matter between us?"
"Eh... This. I was talking about, the matter of us associating."
Suddenly, Huo Wu's eyes brightened, her gaze at Feng Xiaotian changing somewhat,
"Get on the carriage."
"Ah?"
Feng Xiaotian was already prepared to be rejected, but he hadn't expected Huo Wu's sudden change in mood. He hastily leapt on the carriage.
As he saw the charming Huo Wu sitting in the carriage, he couldn't keep his pulse from speeding up.
Huo Wu said to Huo Wushuang:
"Ge, take everyone off for the moment. I have something to talk to Feng Xiaotian about."
Huo Wushuang looked at his little sister, a questioning light in his eyes.
Huo Wu signaled him with her eyes.
When Feng Xiaotian heard Huo Wu wanted to talk to him alone, his pulse accelerated continuously. He who was always jocular, when he was sealed into this space with Huo Wu alone, he on the contrary felt cramped. Rubbing his hands, he didn't know what he should say.
"Big brother Feng. I know you've always liked me."
The first to speak up was nevertheless Huo Wu.
Feng Xiaotian feeble-mindedly looked at her, muttering:
"Your next line wouldn't be, big brother Feng, you're a good person, but we don't suit each other. If it's really a rejection, then don't say anything. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand it."
Looking at Feng Xiaotian's feeble-minded appearance, Huo Wu couldn't hold back a laugh,
"I give you some color and you start to paint the road. That wasn't my intention."
Feng Xiaotian pleasantly surprised said:
"Then you're saying, you'll agree to go out with me?"
"Pah, in your dreams. I asked you in to consult with you about something."
Huo Wu snapped.
Feng Xiaotian grinned, his past appearance returning,
"Well said! Anything is fine. Speak."
Huo Wu muttered:
"Big brother Feng, do you feel that the finals still have any meaning to us?"
Feng Xiaotian looked distracted a moment,
"What do you mean?"
Huo Wu said:
"Do you believe we can defeat Shrek Academy? Or the two teams from the two great empire academies, or those abnormals from Spirit Hall?"
Feng Xiaotian laughed bitterly,
"Want me to tell the truth? I'm afraid it'd be very difficult."
Huo Wu snorted,
"Is it very difficult? Rather basically impossible. Shrek Academy's depths are very deep. I think you also noticed that in the qualifiers, they basically didn't use their full formation. Finally in the ranking competition, their number of fortieth rank Spirit Masters increased to four. And moreover it increased by that powerful fatty. Fire Phoenix Spirit is one of the highest level spirits."
Feng Xiaotian sighed,
"After losing to Tang San, I didn't consider these questions. Even as a team we still might not have much of a chance to defeat Shrek Academy. Their full strength is too powerful. Moreover the control capability Tang San revealed in the qualifiers as well as their teamwork, they basically won't give us a chance. As far as I'm concerned, the finals might only be for experience."
Huo Wu fiercely shook her head,
"No. Not necessarily. We still have a chance. This is also the reason why I asked to consult you. I want to let Blazing Academy give up on the qualifications for the finals."
"Ah? Why?"
Feng Xiaotian was shocked,
"Being able to reach the finals after so much effort, and you're giving it up?"
Huo Wu indifferently said:
"Of course I'm not casually giving up. I want to let Blazing Academy and your Godwind Academy form an alliance. We'll form a joint team for the finals."
Listening to Huo Wu, the dream in Feng Xiaotian's heart now disappeared completely, frowning,
"This seems inappropriate. We represent different elements. First let alone which academy everyone would compete under, I'm afraid it'd be very difficult to get it past the tournament organizational committee."
Huo Wu smiled calmly, saying:
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm only asking you, are you willing?"
Feng Xiaotian nodded without the slightest hesitation,
"Of course I'm willing. If out two teams could truly fuse together, then we could have a team with all members over fortieth rank. Moreover, our available formations would increase a lot. We could absolutely go at it with those powerful teams."
Huo Wu nodded, saying:
"Since it's like that, leave the rest to me. I'll trouble you to return to convince your companions and teachers. Our Blazing Academy will renounce the glory for this and fight under Godwind Academy's name. As for how to join, that's also very simple. We'll temporarily transfer to your Godwind Academy. I can make decisions for Blazing Academy's side. The dean is my grandfather."
Even though Huo Wu spoke very flatly, Feng Xiaotian could clearly grasp the wildness in her words. How much would a heart thirst for victory to make a decision like this?
Huo Wu looked at Feng XIaotian, saying:
"We don't have a lot of time to practice. Only the remaining ten something days on the road. Talk it over with the people from your academy as soon as possible. If there are no issues, we'll begin practicing our teamwork. Since you could create a spirit ability, then perhaps we can create a second."
Feng Xiaotian's eyes brightened,
"Like what you used in the competition before? A teamwork fusion ability?"
Huo Wu nodded,
"Even if it's not a true spirit fusion ability, as long as our teamwork is good, our strength will shock everyone."
Feng Xiaotian smiled wryly:
"My only concern is that the tournament committee would cause trouble."
Huo Wu snorted disdainfully,
"What should they care about us transferring? As for the question about quota, I'll handle it. It's not difficult to speak to Spirit Hall. As long as we express to that platinum bishop that we'll join Spirit Hall after the end of the tournament, what could they still object to?"
Feng Xiaotian suddenly calmed down, looking Huo Wu in the eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
Huo Wu somewhat discontentedly said.
Feng Xiaotian sighed,
"Huo Wu, are you really that thirsty for victory? To win, do you know how much you would pay?"
Huo Wu calmly said:
"I'm not only thirsty for victory, I'm also thirsty to become even stronger. If I don't have even a chance, I'll lose confidence, then how will I cultivate later? I will only ask you, are you willing to walk this road with me?"
Feng Xiaotian nodded forcefully,
"I am. No matter what you decide, I'm willing to follow at your side. But, I'll declare one thing. I can only represent myself. After the tournament I can enter Spirit Hall together with you, but I can't control my comrades."
Huo Wu looked at Feng Xiaotian, something suddenly in her eyes. She of course knew about Feng Xiaotian's place in the minds of the other Godwind Academy members. With his influence, he could completely convince his comrades to enter Spirit Hall. But he wouldn't do it. Huo Wu suddenly discovered that Feng Xiaotian unexpectedly had a lot of good points she'd never noticed before. Even though he wasn't equal to Tang San in strength, he was more handsome. For a moment, she couldn't help being somewhat stupid.
Hurrying on, Godwind Academy and Blazing Academy quickly reached a cooperation agreement. Of course, this news was kept confidential to the other teams. They wouldn't reveal it before the start of the finals.
The Shrek Academy group were on the contrary very pleased during this time, the Shrek Seven Devils gathering to cultivate in the carriage each day. Because Dai Mubai had recently gained a rank, he dealt with outside matters with Flender and the others. To them, teamwork wasn't something they needed to practice much, it was more important to increase spirit power.
After so many battles, to these talented youths, besides combat experience, their spirit power had also grown. In a few days, those that had already reached bottlenecks broke through one after the other. Besides Xiao Wu who was still at the thirty ninth rank, the others all broke through one rank.
At present, the Shrek Seven Devils' ranks were as follows: Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai, forty five ranks. Big Sausage Uncle Oscar, forty two ranks. Tang San, forty three ranks. Ma Hongjun, forty two ranks. Xiao Wu, thirty nine ranks. Ning Rongrong, forty two ranks. Zhu Zhuqing, forty two ranks.
Looking at levels alone, perhaps they might not be too astonishing, but if their present age was included, it would be enough to shock any power of the Spirit Master world.
The youngest, Zhu Zhuqing, was just fourteen. The oldest, Dai Mubai, was also only seventeen. Oscar was sixteen. Tang San was also a few days short of fifteen.
This was such a young team! And they were completely able to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. What abnormal degree could they reach in five years? Even Grandmaster was unable to estimate it. Because these children were all experts at creating miracles.
