Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 270 Blazing Fire and Divine Wind

Han Li was unaware of the different decisions Tang Hao and Ning Fengzhi made on the same night, and he didn't even go to the venue for the competition the next day.

After helping the women pass on the message, Han Li continued his cultivation.

After celebrating Zhu Zhuqing's victory that evening, he vaguely sensed that he was about to break through. After a night of cultivation and the entire morning, by noon the next day, Han Li finally reached level 79.

Feeling his strength had increased, Han Li walked out of the room with satisfaction. It was about the time he had predicted. He estimated that he would be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level by the end of the Soul Master Competition.

As for the venue, it's not a problem. They're just guests; it doesn't make much difference whether they're there or not. Everything has to give way to improving strength.

Moreover, there haven't been any particularly high-profile matches so far, and to be honest, Han Li is getting a bit bored watching them.

"The qualifiers are almost halfway through, Qian Renxue should be sorted out by now, right?" Han Li muttered to himself.

The matter he was referring to was naturally Gangzi's affair. Given the previous tensions, Qian Renxue did not act immediately.

Now, the second team has suffered another crushing defeat, and Sun Buyu is clearly no match for Tang San and his group.

At this moment, with Yu Yuanzhen around, the power of the Face Fruit, and Flander taking the blame, plus Tang San being a key focus, they might be able to pull the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan onto the bandwagon.

Gangzi's little scheme to benefit his apprentice, and the ulterior motives he was plotting, are clearly insignificant when all factors are considered, and winning the revival match is only to be expected.

"After today, it should be about over. Their condition must be very poor. The strong enemies are all behind them, and Xueye won't be completely unaware of them."

Han Li nodded again. Qian Renxue would seize any opportunity to act, so he didn't need to worry about that. She might even receive praise from Emperor Xueye.

At the same time, just as Han Li had thought, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe did indeed intentionally or unintentionally hint at Emperor Xue Ye, and Xue Ye did seem to be somewhat tempted.

However, Xueye thought that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's master-disciple relationship could not be severed. Rather than letting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan make underhanded moves, it would be better to make it public.

Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang can also be used to win the favor of both Tang San and Yu Yuanzhen. At the very least, their attitude towards Yu Xiaogang is better than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In short, let's keep him locked up in the country first. Han Li did promise him that he wouldn't actively recruit talent, but the final competition location is in Wuhun City. What if Tang San runs away with someone else?

Well, thankfully, Xueye's thoughts only existed in his mind; otherwise, if he had said them aloud, the others would probably have laughed themselves to death.

But whatever the situation, Yu Xiaogang did win the revival match and returned to the Royal Fighting Team 2.

Sun Buyu was finally free. After receiving the news, he didn't even wait for Yu Xiaogang to take office, and left without saying goodbye.

As for Han Li, after relaxing for a day, well, he suddenly didn't want to be a guest anymore.

Then, he completely handed over the work to Salas, and told Emperor Xueye that he also wanted to experience the atmosphere of the Soul Master Competition firsthand.

Emperor Xueye readily agreed. He was young, so it was normal for him to act a bit wildly. Besides, there was really nothing interesting in the stands. If he wasn't required to attend, he wouldn't have liked sitting there anyway.

So Han Li became a free man, attending events with Tianshui Academy. When there were competitions, he would go along for a stroll, make an appearance, and greet the audience. When there were no competitions, he preferred to cultivate rather than go to the arena, which made Qian Renxue quite envious and jealous. She also wanted to live the same life.

As time went by, the schedule finally began to feature clashes between the strong teams.

Sure enough, early in the morning, after training, Han Li, who was preparing to go back to continue comprehending the laws, was dragged to the arena by several girls.

"Who are they fighting today?"

Han Li has been a bit lax lately, and he's even too lazy to keep an eye on the competition roster.

"Blazing Fire Academy vs. Divine Wind Academy".

Shui Bing'er glanced at him helplessly. She remembered that Han Li had mentioned Feng Xiaotian to her before, but she had forgotten about his competition.

"Oh, the Wind Dog Boy."

Han Li suddenly realized that some of the words didn't sound very good, so he cleverly replaced them.

"Feng Xiaotian definitely won't like this name."

Dugu Yan chuckled and joked that as the Soul Master Competition progressed, the deeds of some elite students spread along with the competition, and there was quite a bit of gossip about it, which she enjoyed.

"Whether he likes it or not is not important, as long as he can understand it."

Han Li replied lazily, no longer as reluctant as before. The two academies were quite strong, and it would be good to observe them. Perhaps he would have to deal with them behind their backs later for some reason. Of course, it would be best if he didn't.

It was quite a coincidence, actually, that they entered the team's rest area just as they were doing so.

And there you see the two groups that are going to be the main characters today, all gathered together. No, to be precise, there are two people in front, and two groups of people following helplessly behind.

The woman in the gold and red uniform with red hair lit up when she saw them. Ignoring the chattering young man beside her, she shook him off and walked straight towards Han Li and his group.

"They're here for you?"

Dugu Yan glanced at Han Li and asked in surprise.

"Don't slander me, okay? I've never even seen her. She's probably Chong Zhuqing or Bing'er. Well, you could be too. Xiu'er and I are probably just innocent bystanders."

Han Li gave her a disapproving look. You know what, if Dugu Yan wasn't wearing the Tianshui Academy uniform, the two of them would look quite similar, with their gold and red clothes and red hair, like two sisters, and their temperaments were also quite similar.

As they were talking, Huo Wu walked up to them.

"Let's get acquainted. I'm Huo Wu from Blazing Academy."

Huo Wu wasn't intimidated at all. She introduced herself to everyone in a generous manner, while her eyes kept scanning the people in front of her as she spoke.

"Do we need to introduce ourselves?"

Dugu Yan admired her personality and responded in kind.

"No need, I already remembered everything when you came out."

Huo Wu shook her head decisively, indicating that she had come prepared.

Behind her, the young man who had spoken to him earlier, and another young man also dressed in a gold and red uniform, followed.

"Blazing Academy, Unrivaled Fire."

"Shinpu Academy, Feng Xiaotian."

"Greetings, Your Highness." ×2

Unlike Huo Wu, the two introduced themselves after standing still, and then cupped their hands in a respectful gesture towards Han Li.

"Brother Wushuang and Brother Xiaotian, there's no need for that. I'm not on the platform today, so let's just treat each other as equals. Just call me Han Li."

Since they were being polite, Han Li could only respond with a smile. They could joke around in private, but they weren't familiar with each other yet.

Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

"My sister has been very offensive; please forgive her."

Immediately afterwards, Huo Wushuang cupped his hands to the group again, but this time he went towards the women.

Hearing his words, Huo Wu took a deep breath, feeling an urge to beat up her older brother. She had only come up and said something; how could that have offended her?

However, considering that there were still outsiders present, she still gave Huo Wushuang some face and decided to deal with him after the competition was over.

"Brother Wushuang, you flatter me. Miss Huowu just came over to say hello."

Han Li smiled and replied, then looked at Huo Wu: "If you're looking for Tianshui Academy, they should already be in the rest area."

Hearing his words, Huo Wu quickly shook her head: "I'm not looking for them. I've known them for a long time. I'm here to find you."

Han Li's eyebrows twitched, and he gave Shui Bing'er a look, indicating that it was none of his business and that they should handle it.

Because Shui Bing'er was abducted by Han Li at a very young age, she has been living in Wuhun City. In addition, Tianshui Academy has been subtly ostracizing her in recent years. Although she knew Huo Wu when she was very young, they were just nodding acquaintances and had no real relationship.

But among them, she was indeed the only one "most familiar" with Huo Wu, so naturally she was the one to negotiate.

"I wonder what business you have with us, Huo Wu?"

Huo Wu, however, ignored her attitude and looked at the girls with fierce fighting spirit: "When Tianshui Academy and Chihuo Academy face off, could you guys be invited to participate?"

Hearing Huo Wu's words, Han Li and the others exchanged glances, but they weren't too surprised. Based on what they knew about Huo Wu's personality so far, it was normal for her to make such a request.

"Kamikaze Academy, well, team battles are out of the question, but individual battles are possible."

On the other side, a voice suddenly rang out, and when Han Li and the others turned their gazes over, they found it was Feng Xiaotian.

He was stared at by the others, and seemed to have thought of something. He smiled awkwardly, but did not give up completely. Instead, he suggested that they help him in the individual battle.

Feng Xiaotian originally wanted to follow Huo Wu's lead, but after he had already spoken, he remembered that Shenfeng's team battle wasn't very strong. With the strength that Zhu Zhuqing had shown, she probably couldn't handle all the teammates except him by herself, so he hurriedly spoke up for the individual battle.

Yes, he still has a chance to win in an individual match; he firmly believes that.

Shui Bing'er glanced at Han Li, only to find that Han Li did not offer any advice, but simply smiled at her.

She thought for a moment and looked at the group: "You should know very well that we are not exactly members of Tianshui Academy, and it would be an exaggeration to say that we are substitutes, so I cannot grant you this request immediately."

"However, we can go back and discuss it, or we can arrange another match after your competition ends, without affecting the outcome, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in the eyes of Huo Wu and the other two. They exchanged glances and nodded decisively.

"Okay, then we'll wait for your good news."

"it is good."

Shui Bing'er nodded as well.

"Captain, the match is about to start, it's time to go back."

Not far away, members of both teams shouted in this direction.

"Alright, we should go to the competition now. See you later. Today, let's show you our strength."

As Huo Wu turned to leave, she didn't forget to wave goodbye to the others.
