Chapter 183: Huo Wu Apologizes, Tang San Repays the Favor

One-on-six, the outcome was decided; Lv Lingqi successfully secured the first victory of the Promotion Tournament for Gu Lei Royal Academy.

She swept through the entire Blazing Academy team, completely overturning the stereotype that Gu Lei Academy had no one else besides the Flying General.

With such a young girl by Nan Feihuang's side, the competitiveness of the entire Gu Lei Team was elevated by several levels all at once.

The strength this girl displayed was far above that of the captains of the Element Academies; even Feng Xiaotian, who was known as the Shouxixi of the Five Elements Academies, might not necessarily be able to defeat her.

As long as she appeared, she could generally eliminate at least two or three opponents; with the remaining members of the Gu Lei Team eliminating two more through a war of attrition, who could defeat the strongest, the Flying General, who remained?

"One-on-six, this Lv Lingqi is too formidable. Bing'er, what should we do tomorrow?" Xue Wu looked at their captain. Although Shui Bing'er was on the younger side in the team, she was powerful and mature in character, so everyone relied on her heavily.

"What should we do? I don't know either. We'll just have to wing it; how was I supposed to know that Junior Brother's team would be this powerful?" Shui Bing'er shrugged; she had no good way to counter the Gu Lei Team.

After all, their Tianshui Academy's trump card was their Spirit Fusion Skill, but the Promotion Tournament was individual matches, so no matter how strong a Spirit Fusion Skill was, it would be of no use.

Dian Wei did not reply; if his lord did not speak, he would not casually chime in on anything.

Thinking of this, Tang San came over to the Gu Lei Team's side, preparing to build up some goodwill; after all, their relationship on the surface was currently quite good.

Perhaps she could still use writing, but that would be a genuine betrayal; if someone was prepared to betray, then any constraints would be useless.

Being mute could at least prevent some slips of the tongue or sleep-talking; it was better than nothing.

He chose to hunt for a Spirit Ring during the Promotion Tournament, which was a very correct choice; after all, the Promotion Tournament did not eliminate any academies, so even if they lost all fourteen matches, it would only mean a lower ranking in the Grand Finals.

Mute—that way, even if he took Lv Lingqi into his sect in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about her accidentally leaking any Tang Sect secrets.

This look immediately made Huo Wu feel guilty; wasn't she intentionally rubbing salt in someone's wound in front of everyone?

"That is only natural." Nan Feihuang did not intend to spread the forging method; he only wanted to use it himself and equip the ordinary soldiers of the Gu Lei Kingdom.

It wasn't that Shui Bing'er lacked a desire to win, but she didn't have an overly obsessive personality; instead, she was kind and indifferent. She would strive for victory, but if she couldn't win, it didn't matter—as long as she performed to the best of her ability and left no regrets, that was enough.

"Brother Nan, your academy's strength is truly formidable; it is truly astonishing," Tang San said with a smile.

"What is this? This guy thinks giving two toys really repays the debt of saving my brother's life? How arrogant," Nan Feiling said with dissatisfaction.

In any case, she only needed her to be able to fight; Tang San didn't need her to be able to speak.

Otherwise, if every country had these things, wouldn't the advantage he gained from his Hidden Weapons be something he had voluntarily given up?

Only Tang San, upon learning of this, had his first thought be: That's great!

This girl had a proud and somewhat willful personality; she could accept losing, but she couldn't stand being ignored.

Huo Wu was stunned, "You... are you...?"

"I am setting off for the Sunset Forest today. I came over now because I wanted to give this to Brother Nan. These are the blueprints I promised Brother Nan that day. Please keep them safe, and please promise me, Brother Nan, not to spread them around." Following his promise, Tang San handed the blueprints for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow to Nan Feihuang.

"Flying General, I am not here to find you, but to find her." Huo Wu looked at Lv Lingqi, "I know I am a loser at your hands, but you cannot be so rude to people. From beginning to end, you didn't even deign to say a word to me. Am I really so beneath your notice?"

If Tang San could advance to a Soul Ancestor, then Shrek Academy could go further in the Grand Finals.

"You all stop right there!"

At this moment, Tang San felt much more confident speaking to Nan Feihuang, because the two debts of saving his life that he owed Nan Feihuang had been cleared.

After saying this, Tang San left; he needed to hurry to hunt for his Fourth Soul Ring.

"Brother Tang seems to be no less impressive. Your level seems to have broken through to level forty." Nan Feihuang looked closely; Tang San's soul power was full and vigorous at this moment, clearly having improved significantly compared to a few days ago.

The Blazing and Gu Lei teams left the competition venue; Huo Wu had recovered a little by now and was walking toward them aggressively.

"Um, Miss Lingqi, I'm sorry!" After apologizing, Huo Wu could not bear to stay any longer and ran off directly.

"Lingqi suffers from aphasia, Miss Huo Wu; she did not ignore you on purpose," Nan Feihuang explained on behalf of Lv Lingqi.

In any case, Flender knew that their Shrek team wouldn't get first place, so it made no difference what place they got; it was better to take this opportunity to strengthen their combat power.

People from other academies learned of this news and couldn't help but sigh; this girl was so strong and so beautiful, yet she had such a huge defect—truly, no one is perfect.

Lv Lingqi's eyes suddenly turned dim; if not for this aphasia, she wouldn't think she was unworthy of Nan Feihuang. She was always just one step away from plucking the Acacia Heartbroken Red.

Nan Feihuang smiled, "Alright, Sister, I was the one who said this myself—to use these two things to offset the favor. Why are you blaming others?"

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, two Hidden Weapon blueprints were not even enough to repay one life-saving favor, but in Tang San's heart, for their Tang Sect's treasures to be handed over to Nan Feihuang, it was already Nan Feihuang's great fortune.

This left Huo Wu's aggressive, accusatory stance with nowhere to be directed.

"Don't worry about it. In any case, the Promotion Tournament doesn't eliminate any academies, so we'll just have a good, thorough fight with him!"

"That's right. I was originally at the peak of level thirty-nine. That day, under Shi Nian's pressure, I exhausted all my soul power to resist his illusions, but I didn't expect to turn a misfortune into a blessing. My bottleneck loosened, and after cultivating for a few days, I successfully broke through." Tang San was in a good mood; Shi Nian wanted to kill him, but by mistake, he used his soul power to help him clear a meridian and deepen the level of his Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Tang San nodded, "The blueprints have been delivered, and the two life-saving favors are cleared. Brother Nan, Tang guarantees that you have definitely made a huge profit this time. Today, Tang will take his leave first; I hope Brother Nan treasures them well."

Actually, after Lan Xue graduated, it wasn't as if she hadn't returned to her alma mater, Tianshui Academy. She once returned and said that Shui Bing'er of Tianshui Academy would surely achieve something in the future.

It seems that while this girl was willful, at least her heart wasn't bad.

"Since that is the case, why doesn't Brother Tang go hunt for a Spirit Beast sooner?" Nan Feihuang asked.

It is said that he is the protagonist of the original story; this luck is truly not weak. The meridian that was supposed to be cleared by Zhilin for Tang San was instead taken care of by Shi Nian even without him.

"Miss Huo Wu, is there anything else?" Nan Feihuang asked.

When Lv Lingqi was not in battle, she was actually not that cold, but rather somewhat simple and cute. She pointed to her throat and shook her head at Huo Wu.

"That is because you are magnanimous, little brother, but he cannot take it for granted like that! If I encounter his academy next time, I must teach him a good lesson. Right, Sister Lingqi, Dian Hanhan?" Nan Feiling said, rubbing her palms.

Lv Lingqi agreed deeply; mainly, Tang San's tone—that he was giving Nan Feihuang the Hidden Weapon blueprints to repay the life-saving favor and that it was Nan Feihuang who profited and should feel honored—made her very unhappy.

Did her man need to feel honored because of someone else's things?

She really wanted to poke a few transparent holes in him!
