Chapter 44 Guiding Feng Xiaotian (Please add to your favorites, recommend, and vote!)

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's helpless yet eager expression, Gu Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "To be honest, we both came from the same academy, and we'll definitely be rivals in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament three years from now. So if I help you now, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's expression changed, and he was momentarily speechless. Gu Xuan's words were not without reason. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was divided into the Heaven Dou Region and the Star Luo Region. Both of them were academies of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the chances of them facing each other in the future were very high.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaotian racked his brains to think of words to persuade Gu Xuan to lower his guard, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Looking at Feng Xiaotian, who was deep in thought, Gu Xuan continued, "You must know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. As students from the same academy, our relationship is naturally not that distant, but it's not as friendly as you might imagine either."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian seemed to ponder for a moment before slowly asking, "What do you need me to do?"

Gu Xuan said indifferently, "I'm just mentioning it casually. You probably guessed that I was born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How about this? Come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after you graduate. After all, a genius like you can't be confined to a small academy. You need a higher platform."

"If you can consider it, wouldn't our friendship be established? With your talent, you will definitely become a powerful figure in the future. At that time, you will have me as your friend and the resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Your future will be very bright."

Gu Xuan was very good at making empty promises, but it depended on whether Feng Xiaotian would accept them. Moreover, Feng Xiaotian's talent was indeed amazing. If they could bring him over, as long as he was well-trained, he might be able to reach the position of a god in the future, or at the very least, become a titled Douluo.

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Feng Xiaotian's face stiffened. He never expected that Gu Xuan would actually set his sights on him, after all, they had only met once.

Feng Xiaotian didn't rush to answer. Gu Xuan wasn't joking when he said that, nor was it necessary. Moreover, Gu Xuan's words were very tempting to him. After all, he would not only know how Gu Xuan dealt with his self-created soul skill, but he would also open up another path for his future.

However, Feng Xiaotian was not born a commoner; he also had some background.

His father and grandfather both graduated from Shenfeng Academy. In his grandfather's generation, his grandfather became the director of the teaching affairs office of Shenfeng Academy. His father is now one of the two vice deans of Shenfeng Academy. It can be said that their family has now been integrated with Shenfeng Academy.

In the original story, after becoming the Soul Emperor, Feng Xiaotian directly became the vice dean of Shenfeng Academy. So to be honest, even if Gu Xuan made empty promises to him, he didn't have much confidence in getting the kid to change his mind and go elsewhere.

However, it's always worth a try. After all, he can't spend every day with Feng Xiaotian and the Royal Fighting Team like he does. If he gives them benefits first, they might just be given away for free.

Even if Gu Xuan is the kindest person, he can't just give without expecting anything in return. After all, if that were the case, what would be the point of his life? He could just be Santa Claus handing out benefits.

After pondering for a long time, Feng Xiaotian explained his background to Gu Xuan. After hearing this, Gu Xuan simply nodded without saying anything, because he wanted to see Feng Xiaotian's attitude.

"Gu Xuan, to be honest, because of my father's relationship with Shenfeng Academy, I am now considered a part of Shenfeng Academy. This part is not just a relationship between the academy and its students, but a responsibility for the future of Shenfeng Academy."

"To be honest, I am very tempted by your offer, but I also have my concerns. I may not stay at Shenfeng Academy like my father and grandfather, but I haven't thought it through yet. If you ask me for an answer now, I... I can't answer."

Feng Xiaotian spoke sincerely, looking into Gu Xuan's eyes and slowly saying each word.

Gu Xuan could see that the boy was indeed unable to make up his mind, but he also wanted to know from him how he had instantly severed his Gale Wings, so all he had left was sincerity.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xuan couldn't help but pat Feng Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "I understand. No matter what, we became friends through a fight, so I accept you as my friend."

Hearing this, Feng Xiaotian felt embarrassed and didn't dare to look into Gu Xuan's "sincere" eyes. After all, he was the thug that Huo Wu hired to beat up Gu Xuan. Now, Gu Xuan hadn't been beaten up and had even become friends with him.

What would Gu Xuan think if he knew about his relationship with Huo Wu?

"The future is long, and there will come a day when you understand. My door will always be open for you."

Feng Xiaotian felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing these words. Although he had only spent a dozen minutes with Gu Xuan, he could clearly feel the other's sincerity and the indescribable trust and warmth he felt.

To be honest, Feng Xiaotian hadn't met many people like this in the entire Soul Master world. His relationship with Gu Xuan didn't feel like they had just met; rather, it felt like meeting an old friend.

While Feng Xiaotian was pondering, Gu Xuan continued, "Since that's the case, it seems I won't get you today. But I can't let you come for nothing. I have something to say to you. Whether you listen or not is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he immediately focused his attention: "I'm all ears."

"What you really want to know is why I was able to sever your Gale Wings in an instant and find the flaw in your self-created soul skill, right?" Gu Xuan said softly.

Feng Xiaotian nodded, his eyes becoming fervent: "Yes."

After a pause, Gu Xuan continued, "Your self-created soul skill does have its merits. If you encounter an ordinary opponent, this soul skill can indeed be invincible. However, if you encounter an opponent whose strength or attack is stronger than yours, this self-created soul skill is no different from suicide."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Feng Xiaotian's expression turned somewhat ugly. Because after Gu Xuan said that, his self-created soul skill sounded completely useless. Did all his hard work over the years turn out to be a joke?

Gu Xuan noticed the change in Feng Xiaotian's expression and continued, "What, now that you mention it, do you think your self-created soul skill is completely useless?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's face fell even more. He wanted to refute Gu Xuan, but Gu Xuan had easily subdued his self-created soul skill before.

However, Gu Xuan did not give Feng Xiaotian time to speak. He continued, "The premise of what I said is that your attack and strength are inferior to the opponent's, or rather, the gap between you is huge. Although I am only level 33, my attack power is not to be underestimated even by a defensive Soul Master. So you have lost."

"But if you're facing an opponent like me, wouldn't it be better not to use this self-created soul skill? You'll be level 40 soon, and once you get your fourth soul ring, you can reduce the number of attacks you can rely on your self-created soul skill."

"Think about it, if you focus on increasing your soul power level now, and in the future no one can surpass you in strength and attack power, then who will be able to stop your self-created soul skill?"

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Feng Xiaotian instantly understood, but he was still somewhat unwilling to give up on this self-created soul skill that he had been researching for so many years.

He felt he couldn't do it.
