Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 122 I have met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius.

"Why!"

"Why!"

"Why are you so strong? Even when I try my best, I can't catch up!"

Huo Wu completely broke down, her delicate body collapsing to the ground. Her hands weakly pounded the hard ground, and tears fell like broken kite strings. Her tearful appearance would make anyone who saw her feel pity.

Below the stage, Feng Xiaotian watched this scene with heartache in his eyes. He was about to step forward to comfort him when Huo Wushuang stopped him.

Huo Wushuang gently shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't go. Let her cry by herself for a while and let her vent all her grievances."

Years of hard work day and night, countless drops of sweat and tears, have all vanished in this moment.

Such a heavy blow would be difficult for anyone to bear.

Gu Feng said calmly, "I have met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius!"

To be honest, he understood Huo Wu's state of mind better than anyone else.

A girl who was pampered and proud since childhood suffered a heavy setback at the height of her success and never recovered.

There are far too many examples like this.

Huo Wu slowly raised her eyes, the light in them long since dimmed, leaving only emptiness: "Are you saying that my talent is inferior to yours?"

Her voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of stubborn resentment.

Gu Feng gently shook his head, his gaze calm and profound: "A true master always retains the heart of an apprentice!"

These words struck like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's hearts.

The audience was completely silent, with only the sound of breathing rising and falling. Everyone seemed lost in thought, their expressions solemn.

Huo Wu's eyes were glazed over as she murmured repeatedly, "The heart of an apprentice..."

Gu Feng looked at Huo Wu and continued, "In the Douluo Continent, geniuses have been as numerous as fish in a river throughout history, but those who have the last laugh are often those with a firm will."

Huo Wu knelt on the spot, repeatedly chewing on Gu Feng's words, her fingertips unconsciously digging into the cracks in the ground, the fine sand and gravel hurting her palms.

She suddenly recalled the thrill she felt when she first awakened her martial soul—back then, she only had the longing for becoming a soul master, unlike now, when she was so obsessed with winning or losing.

In the instant the air froze, a large hand with distinct knuckles reached out.

Huo Wu subconsciously looked up and suddenly met Gu Feng's gentle gaze. Although the anger in her heart had subsided, a trace of resentment still remained.

"What are you still doing?"

Gu Feng smiled and opened his palm slightly. "We're not exactly adversaries who have to fight to the death, are we? The ground is chilly, let's get up first."

Before he finished speaking, he gently grasped Huo Wu's wrist, his movements swift yet measured, and steadily helped her up.

Huo Wu was still stunned by the sudden action. When she came to her senses, she only caught a glimpse of Gu Feng's back as he turned and left the stage.

She instinctively took two steps after him and blurted out, "Gu, Gu Feng!"

Gu Feng paused, turned around, and raised an eyebrow: "Is there anything else?"

Huo Wu's fingers, gripping the hem of her skirt, trembled slightly: "Thank you, thank you."

"What did you say?" Gu Feng wondered if he had misheard.

I said—thank you!

Huo Wu suddenly raised her voice, and before she could finish speaking, she turned around and pounced back behind Huo Wushuang like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on. She buried her burning cheeks in her brother's shoulder, only revealing half of her bright red ear, looking exactly like a frightened little rabbit.

Gu Feng never imagined that Huo Wu, a proud person, would actually thank the person who defeated her.
In his mind, it was already a good thing that Huo Wu didn't resent him.

However, he didn't think much of it and just assumed that his words had changed her mindset.

After all, in the original story, when Tang San defeated his opponent, he directly said something as humiliating as "fire immunity".

Then, Gu Feng calmly walked off the stage.

Suddenly, a nimble figure flashed before my eyes.

Shui Yue'er had quietly crept over, her bright eyes curiously scrutinizing him, her gaze sweeping over him as if she were examining some novel object: "My god! You're exaggerating! You actually withstood Huo Wu's Fusion Ring Technique head-on, and you didn't even get hurt! You wouldn't happen to be some old monster from some sect, would you?"

She had heard that some powerful soul masters in the soul master world could guarantee that they would never age.

"Moon! How dare you be rude!"

A cool voice rang out at the right moment, and Shui Bing'er quickly stepped forward, her brows and eyes full of helplessness.

She turned to Gu Feng, a polite smile curving her lips, her eyes filled with apology: "I apologize, my sister spoke without thinking. I hope you won't take offense."

Gu Feng's gaze swept between the two men: "And who are you two?"

Shui Bing'er gracefully extended her hand, her fingertips exuding a refreshing coolness: "Tianshui Academy, Shui Bing'er, I've heard so much about you."

"And me! And me!"

Not to be outdone, Shui Yue'er squeezed next to her sister, her pink hand almost poking Gu Feng's chest: "Gu Feng, Gu Feng, I'm Shui Yue'er! You can call me Yue'er, or Shui'er, it's fine either way!"

Looking at the two sisters who reached out their hands almost at the same time, Gu Feng frowned slightly. He could only hold Shui Bing'er's soft and boneless hand first. After she politely nodded and stepped back, he then met Shui Yue'er's hand, which felt like holding a ball of cotton.

After a brief encounter, Gu Feng gained a new understanding of the two sisters.

One is as aloof as a thousand-year-old iceberg, the other is as cheerful as a little sun.

Then, like a curious child, Shui Yue'er followed Gu Feng around and asked, "Gu Feng, Gu Feng, can you tell me how you did it?"

"My sister said that Huo Wu's Fusion Ring Technique is something that even ordinary Soul Masters might not be able to withstand."

As soon as he said this, everyone present turned their gaze to him.

Even Huo Wu was no exception, her phoenix eyes fixed on Gu Feng.

She was also curious to know what method Gu Feng had used to easily block her Fusion Ring skill.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out, leaving no room for doubt.

"Sorry, this is my little brother's secret, I can't tell you."

Dugu Yan walked lightly to Gu Feng's side, her beautiful face as cold as ice. Just by standing there, she dispelled the curiosity of most people.

After all, Hu Yanli's miserable state was still fresh in everyone's mind.

At the same moment, Ye Lingling also stepped forward gently, her delicate hand lightly stroking the stray hairs at her temples. Her voice was gentle, yet it concealed a hint of sharpness: "Inquiring into other people's secrets is a major taboo in the Soul Master world. Do you want to be our enemy?"

Shana and Bai Chenxiang also arrived at Gu Feng's side at the same time, staring at everyone with cold eyes.

Upon seeing this, Shui Bing'er immediately glared at her younger sister, then gracefully bowed and said, "I am truly sorry. My younger sister is used to being innocent and carefree, and speaks without thinking. Please forgive her."
