Lin Li retracted his Martial Soul, and the power within his body rapidly vanished, his strength returning to its original level.
Although he was the one who gained the most from this incident, Lin Li was still somewhat unsatisfied.
Because the sense of loss was too great!
One second he could blow up a small mountain with a single punch, and the next he had turned back into a weakling!
Lin Li began to fantasize that perhaps once he obtained his seventh Soul Ring and could activate his Martial Soul True Body, things would be different.
It was an intuitive premonition.
“Lin Li, right?
Not bad, young man!”
Huo Tianquan leaned in close to Lin Li and slapped a hand onto his shoulder.
“If it weren’t for you today, this old man wouldn’t have survived…
Are you interested in coming to my Blazing Academy?”
Lin Li looked at this Soul Douluo who should have died, knowing full well that the continent’s power structure was about to change.
Before the official plot began, this man could definitely become a Titled Douluo.
“This junior was merely lucky; I obtained a one-time-use treasure, which allowed me to contend with a powerful enemy for a while.”
Hearing this, Huo Tianquan felt he understood the situation; it never even crossed his mind that Lin Li might be lying to him.
In his understanding, this was the normal state of affairs!
“No matter!
As long as you come to my Blazing Academy, I can satisfy whatever request you have!”
Huo Tianquan spoke with great dominance, his expression flamboyant.
In his eyes, Lin Li was guaranteed to become a Super Douluo.
His academy couldn’t normally attract a Super Douluo, so this was a guaranteed profit!
“I’m not going.”
Lin Li added, “Uh, I still have to go to Heaven Dou City to visit a good friend.”
“What friend?”
Looking at Huo Tianquan’s expression, Lin Li complained wildly in his heart.
Wasn’t that just a polite refusal?
Who actually follows up with more questions!
Thinking of the image of a Fire God, Lin Li couldn’t help but wonder if everyone who cultivated fire-attributed Martial Souls had something wrong with their nerves.
It seemed like Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were the same; their personalities were like they were carved from the same mold.
After a long silence, seeing that Huo Tianquan had no intention of giving up his questioning, Lin Li could only say, “The one I’m visiting is His Highness the Crown Prince…”
Actually, saying this wasn’t wrong; after all, the only person Lin Li had met in Heaven Dou City was Qian Renxue.
Though that meeting was basically the same as not meeting at all…
“So it’s Xue Qinghe…
Fine then.”
Huo Tianquan knew well that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family craved a powerhouse of their own.
If he snatched Lin Li away, they might actually fight him to the death.
“However, this old man isn’t ungrateful.
If you ever need help in the future, feel free to find me!”
Lin Li had been waiting for these words, and he immediately cupped his hands in thanks.
“In that case, I thank Principal Huo!”
“Eh! This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
This old man dislikes those formalities.
Don’t do that.
Come back to the academy with me first to eat some meat!”
With that, Huo Tianquan slung an arm around Lin Li’s shoulders and walked toward Blazing Fire City.
Lin Li didn’t like those rules either; he was just afraid that Huo Tianquan, as a Principal, would care about them.
But seeing this arm-over-shoulder attitude…
Lin Li also showed a smile and began to converse sincerely.
…
On the other side of the forest.
Feng Xiaotian had been searching all night, but he simply couldn’t find any trace of Lin Li.
He saw that the battle had already ended, and the only place he hadn’t searched was that battlefield where everyone was at least a Soul Saint.
“No way…”
Feng Xiaotian held his head, already imagining the worst outcome.
“How could you just die like this, Brother Lin!
I haven’t even shared a drink and a laugh with you yet!”
In his eyes, Lin Li’s secret departure through the window must have meant he left the city.
Since he wasn’t outside the city, he must have been killed by a Fallen Soul Master, or perhaps by the aftershocks of the battle between Soul Saints and the Soul Douluo.
In his mind, Lin Li simply didn’t have a single good ending.
“Sigh…
I hope Brother Huo and Sister Huo Wu won’t be too sad when they hear this news…”
Thinking this, Feng Xiaotian followed the main group back toward Blazing Fire City.
…
Time flew by, and it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Today was Fire Dancing Day, a triennial event in Blazing Fire City.
Lin Li woke up from a soft, large bed, feeling like his brain had short-circuited.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Lin Li slowly began to remember.
Huo Tianquan had insisted on dragging him to drink.
Lin Li declined, saying he was only eight years old, and although he was a bit tall and a bit strong, it wasn’t appropriate for him to drink.
Huo Tianquan ignored him completely, even saying, “When I was five, my dad drank me under the table!
After fifteen, I could drink my dad and my grandpa under the table!”
Evidently, Lin Li had been drunk under the table.
In his past life, he wasn’t very good at drinking, and with his current body, it was even worse.
The only good news was that one could adapt to drinking; perhaps in the future, Lin Li would be able to hold his liquor.
“Knock knock knock!”
A knocking sound rang out, followed by the door being pushed open.
It was Huo Wu.
“Since you’re awake, come downstairs.
My brother is looking for you.”
Lin Li nodded, then got up to put on his shoes.
This sentence was different from her usual ones; it felt a bit gentler, not like something a girl like Huo Wu would say.
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, but after seeing that her eyes held only pure gratitude, he felt relieved.
“It was just luck.
I should also thank you for taking care of me.”
The two didn’t say anything more and went all the way downstairs.
Huo Wushuang was sitting very formally.
Upon seeing Lin Li, he stood up from the sofa and gave him a direct bear hug.
“You have done my family a great kindness.
If you don’t mind, how about we become sworn brothers?”
“Ah?”
“Great that you agree.
I’ve already prepared the cattle, sheep, and wine.
We’ll go swear our brotherhood now!”
Huo Wushuang said with a smile, directly grabbing Lin Li’s hand and walking out of the house.
Because Lin Li had blacked out from drinking, he was still a bit dazed and was momentarily shocked.
By the time he came to his senses, the swearing ceremony was already over.
Be that as it may…
Did the people of Douluo Continent mature this quickly?
Huo Wushuang should only be around fifteen years old at this time.
Lin Li turned his head to look at the youth beside him, then drank the wine handed to his lips.
This person was actually quite decent; there was no harm in befriending him.
“Good!”
Huo Wushuang grabbed Lin Li’s hand and said:
“From now on, you and I are brothers.
My grandfather said you have business in Heaven Dou City, so he didn’t force you to enroll in Blazing Academy.
As your elder brother, I respect your choice.
If you have any problems, just find me!”
Lin Li wasn’t sure why Huo Wushuang seemed much more excited, but he still nodded.
Huo Wu walked out of the house, looking rather helpless.
“My brother has wanted a younger brother since he was a child.
According to Mom, he even secretly cried for a long time after finding out I was a girl.
I really don’t know what’s going on in his head…”
Huo Wushuang looked somewhat disdainful.
How could a younger sister be as good as a younger brother?
There are so many things you can’t do together.
Not to mention, his own sister wasn’t cute at all, completely different from what he had imagined as a child.
However, he didn’t dare to say those words out loud.
“By the way, Second Brother, you must attend tonight’s Fire Dancing Day bonfire banquet!”
