Even though Feng Xiaotian held back, Huo Wushuang was still swept away and collapsed helplessly to the ground.
"elder brother!"
Huo Wu rushed forward anxiously to help Huo Wushuang up, while simultaneously glaring at Feng Xiaotian with resentment.
Feeling uncomfortable under that gaze, Feng Xiaotian inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.
But it was only a fleeting thought before he forgot about it.
Looking at Huo Wushuang lying on the ground, Feng Xiaotian felt the depression he had been feeling for the past few days, suppressed by Xiao Chenyu, vanish instantly.
He stood with his hands behind his back, arrogant and disdainful, glancing down at the fallen Huo Wushuang:
"I heard you're a genius from Blazing Fire Academy? Even among geniuses, there are differences!"
After saying that, he raised his head and floated backward, feeling that his posture was incredibly cool.
But as soon as Feng Xiaotian turned around, he saw Xiao Chenyu and Qian Renxue with a half-smile on their faces, and his face immediately darkened.
Especially Xiao Chenyu's lip movements, which were clearly repeating what he had just said.
Damn... He knows it's true, but please don't say it out loud, okay?
As if understanding the meaning behind Feng Xiaotian's expression, Xiao Chenyu raised an eyebrow.
Did he say it out loud? I don't think so...
This farce didn't last long. Seeing the other party slink away, Xiao Chenyu didn't stop them.
It's perfectly normal for Soul Masters to have verbal disputes outside of their own world; whoever wins the fight is right—that's the unspoken rule of the Soul Master world.
Of course, Xiao Chenyu generally doesn't provoke trouble, but if trouble comes his way, he's happy to give the other party a good beating.
The group didn't dwell on the previous farce and went to the Snow Dust Hotel's restaurant for a feast of soul beast meat.
Meanwhile, Huo Wushuang, even after being helped away from the hotel by Huo Wu, still had a look of resentment on his face.
"Dad, why don't you teach that brat a lesson!" Huo Wu's face was also full of dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man next to him shook his head and said:
"This is a matter for you juniors. The world of Soul Masters is a place like this, where friction with others is inevitable. Today you have seen it for yourself: there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."
“You may all be minor geniuses at Blazing Fire Academy, but in the entire Heaven Dou Empire, you are not good enough.”
"Father, I will surpass that Feng Xiaotian!" Huo Wushuang gritted his teeth.
Seeing that his son understood what he meant, the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction.
Soul Masters are not afraid of falling down; what they fear is falling down and not being able to get up.
"Dad, I will work hard too. I will beat Feng Xiaotian of Notting Academy to a pulp!"
Hearing her brother say that, Huo Wu gritted her teeth. Just thinking about that arrogant face made her furious.
"Work hard, and you will catch up with him one day. He is good because he was born with full soul power, but your talents are not bad either. There are many examples of people who have made a comeback on the continent."
As a father, Dean Chi Huo was naturally happy to see his children's passion ignited, and he encouraged them from the sidelines.
Ultimately, it's because he's too weak...
If he hadn't realized that he might not be as good as the man with the little girl on his shoulders, he might have intervened. Who could remain indifferent when their own son is being beaten?
It was also because of the disparity between the two sides that he restrained his impulse and did not escalate the situation.
"Notting Academy... I'll remember that..."
On the other side, Xiao Chenyu and the others, having enjoyed a hearty meal, also returned to their respective rooms.
As someone who always puts safety first, Xiao Chenyu naturally shares a courtyard with the Porcupine Douluo and Qian Renxue, a habit that has lasted for many years.
For Xiao Chenyu, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully if he didn't have a close Title Douluo living next to him.
"Uncle Pig, have you noticed?"
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xiao Chenyu suddenly spoke.
"Ah, there are a lot of little things."
The Porcupine Douluo chuckled and let out a cold snort.
A surge of powerful soul energy swept out from his body, and the ground in the courtyard seemed to have been plowed, with long black lines surging out before exploding in the air.
Qian Renxue felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this scene, and forced herself to suppress her nausea as she said:
"How can there be so many snakes?"
These long black lines hidden on the ground in the courtyard are all slender snakes, and there are a great many of them.
Qian Renxue had seen it when she entered the courtyard, but she thought it was normal for it to be adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest. She didn't expect there to be so many.
"Not only this, we have quite a few rooms too. The host here is truly hospitable," Xiao Chenyu exclaimed.
As he spoke, the Porcupine Douluo entered the room and then came out again:
"It's all sorted out. But these little bastards, which are only ten years old, are harmless and non-toxic."
"That person probably didn't intend to kill us, they just wanted to monitor us," Xiao Chenyu said helplessly, with a headache.
"Who exactly is it?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be the city lord of Condon City," Xiao Chenyu said.
"Are these snakes all under the control of Condon City?" Qian Renxue asked in surprise.
It's only because the porcupine douluo's strength was overwhelming that he could have been eliminated; otherwise, it would have been quite a challenge.
No one could stand having so many snakes acting as spies secretly observing.
Especially if you get up at night and see a snake as thick as an arm hanging from the roof beam, flicking its tongue, it might be bad for your health.
"It's just a guess. There are no other forces around here, and the Heavenly Dou Empire doesn't have any families that control snakes."
When it comes to snakes, the first person Xiao Chenyu thinks of is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, whose martial soul is the Azure Scale Serpent Emperor.
However, those were venomous snakes, and they used poisonous methods; they had nothing to do with snakes.
The snakes in Green Forest Village seem to be manipulated by the Snake King.
Several guesses flashed through Xiao Chenyu's mind, but he suppressed them all.
If these conjectures are true, even with the Porcupine Douluo, there is a risk of total annihilation, so he has no desire to provoke Kangdun City.
Maintaining the status quo is fine...
According to his estimate, to completely resolve the issue of Kangdun City, at least a level 95 titled Douluo would be needed to oversee it.
A level 95 Title Douluo corresponds to a level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Of course, this was the worst-case scenario in Xiao Chenyu's opinion; he felt it shouldn't come to that.
Although the Douluo Continent is very large, the Spirit Hall is not to be underestimated and would not leave such a big hidden danger.
However, Xiao Chenyu, who has always believed in the principles of survival of the fittest, would never provoke such a thing.
"Don't worry about them. Just make sure the snakes don't enter our courtyard. Senior Lu is watching over Feng Xiaotian, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Xiao Chenyu shook his head, deciding not to pursue the matter further.
Fortunately, after the Porcupine Douluo cleared out a wave of snakes, no new snakes came to provoke them, and even the monitoring snakes on Feng Xiaotian's side were withdrawn.
Feeling the tacit understanding between them, Xiao Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief, but the wariness in his heart lingered.
The higher the intelligence the opponent displays, the more troublesome they become...
In any case, Nottingham and Condon are adjacent, so it's always good to be well prepared.
