The beautiful woman's face showed some surprise: "Are many people trying to curry favor with Heart of Fire Academy?"
"You don't know? Heart of Fire Academy's recent performance has been too outstanding. Many academies believe Heart of Fire Academy will win the championship in the finals, and no matter what the outcome of the Soul Master Competition is, those few students from this academy are bound to become top-tier figures in the Spirit Master's world in the future. So, everyone is showing goodwill towards Heart of Fire Academy."
Feng Xiaotian said dejectedly: "Even His Majesty personally visited Camp One to express condolences to Heart of Fire Academy; they are indeed too formidable."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment.
"By the way, if you're not here to befriend Heart of Fire Academy, then what are you here for?" Feng Xiaotian suddenly asked.
Liu Erlong turned and walked in the direction Feng Xiaotian had pointed, leaving only one sentence:
"I'm here to become a disciple."
"Become a disciple?"
Watching the beautiful woman's retreating figure in the drizzling rain, Feng Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something:
"Become a disciple? She can even become a disciple? Oh right, they were all taught by Heart of Fire Academy. Since I can't beat them, doesn't that mean I can only join them?"
"I heard that three students from Plant Academy go to Camp One every evening to study, and their combat records are getting better and better. That person from Heart of Fire Academy might really have something."
"This older sister is probably thirty years old, right? If she can become a disciple, then so can I!"
Feng Xiaotian suddenly stood up and also walked towards Heart of Fire Academy.
When Feng Xiaotian arrived outside Camp One, he saw the beautiful woman who had asked him for directions kneeling in the muddy ground outside the camp:
"Teacher Xin, student Liu Erlong has come to become a disciple."
"This time, even if Teacher Xin slays Erlong with a single sword here, Erlong will not leave by a single step."
The beautiful woman's umbrella fell into the mud, and the rain quickly soaked her hair.
From inside Camp One, a burly man walked out. It was Bell. He looked at Liu Erlong:
"Dean Liu, the teacher made it very clear last time. Our Heart of Fire Academy cannot accommodate you, nor do we allow those with ulterior motives to enroll. You are a person of status and position; why go to such lengths?"
Liu Erlong said with a deep breath: "I have already understood the meaning of the two sentences Teacher Xin taught me earlier. This time, I truly came to seek knowledge."
Bell's voice grew colder: "No, you don't understand. If you truly understood, you wouldn't be kneeling here in this manner. If you don't leave, the only one who will lose face is yourself."
Splash, splash~
At this moment, the rain fell even harder.
A faint ripple appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes, but she did not get up and leave. Instead, with a thud, she touched her head to the ground, bowing deeply to seek a teacher:
"As long as Teacher Xin is unwilling to accept Erlong, Erlong will kneel here for a day, until Teacher Xin is willing to accept me."
"Stubborn! How can you be even more obtuse than me!"
Bell flicked his sleeve and left.
