"Daniu, you did well today. That way, we two brothers will be able to enter the Challenge Tournament together." Beside Da Niu, there was a man wearing a sky blue and plain mountain brocade robe. He put his arm around Da Niu's shoulders and said.

"Hehe, I only rely on my brute force. Unlike you, who is considered an entry-level student, I am already at the early stage of my cultivation." Da Niu rubbed his head and said with a silly smile.

Hearing Da Niu's envious words, a hint of pride flashed past his eyes. He patted Da Niu on the shoulder and said, "I was just lucky. Da Niu, you have to work hard. I'm waiting to become a junior student with you."

"Hehe, I will do my best. Hao Xi, since the match is over, let's go eat some food. I want to eat ten bowls of noodles after all." Da Niu said while rubbing his head.

"Since the two of you are going to eat, why don't you bring the two of us along? The small cafeteria has a new fish noodles. I think the fish noodles will taste very delicious." As Da Niu was talking to Hao Wei, he suddenly heard a gentle voice behind him. When he turned around, he saw Han Xiao looking at the two of them with a faint smile.

Seeing that Han Xiao's eyes were filled with doubt, Hao Wei was able to recognize Han Xiao at a glance. His shrewd eyes flashed with a trace of scheming.

"This is the first time I've heard of noodles made from fish meat. Da Niu, let's go and have a look with Senior Han." Hao Xi said as he nudged Da Niu with his elbow.

Although he didn't really want to go with Han Xiao, Da Niu still nodded after hearing what Hao He said.

Seeing that Da Niu had agreed, the four of them walked towards the small cafeteria. When the competitors saw that they were related, they looked at the two of them with envy and jealousy. Da Niu couldn't help but lower his head to prevent others from seeing him.

After walking for a while, Han Xiao asked for 20 bowls of fish noodles in the small cafeteria. When he was done, Han Xiao looked at the restrained Da Niu and asked, "Da Niu, you look very uncomfortable."

"Daniu is a bit more restrained in front of strangers. Oh right, Senior Han, are you guys here today to watch the match as well?" Hao Xi asked.

"Mm, I want to see your match. After all, we are going to be opponents standing on the stage in the future. It's always good to get to know each other in advance." Han Xiao said.

"I don't think I'm a match for Senior Han in the Challenge Tournament. By the way, Senior Han, I've heard that you're very familiar with Senior Xi Yun. Are you planning to go to Star Glory Central Academy?" Hao Xi asked.

Seeing Hao Xi's passionate look, Han Xiao's eyes flashed with amusement. He rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while before slowly saying, "Maybe, each of the Five Great Academies have their own benefits. Plus, it's not something I can decide on myself, the food is almost here, so let's prepare to eat." With that, Hao Xi turned around and saw a person carrying a tray over. On the tray, there were five servings of Fish Noodle Soup neatly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your fish noodles. I'll bring it to you in a while." With that, the waiter put down the fish noodles and left with the tray.

"Daniu, eat first." Han Xiao said as he handed a bowl of fish noodles to Da Niu.

Smelling the fragrance of the fish from the fish noodles, Da Niu did not care about anything else and directly started to eat. As for Han Xiao and the rest, they also picked up their bowls to carefully taste.

Picking up a piece of fish noodles and putting it into his mouth, Han Xiao felt that the fish noodles instantly melted, the word 'instant melting' was very suitable for use on this bowl of fish noodles, and the fish noodles were indeed made from pure fish meat. The fish-like fragrance that lingered in his mouth made him eat three bowls of fish noodles, and the twenty bowls of fish noodles was enough for them to eat them all at once.

"Burp." After he finished eating, Da Niu rubbed his plump belly. With a satisfied smile on his face, perhaps because he was full, and because of Han Xiao's friendly attitude, Da Niu wasn't as restrained as before. He had a silly smile on his face as he spoke to Han Xiao and the other two.

Perhaps it was because they felt that Da Niu and him were very similar, but Zhao Xiang and Da Niu quickly became familiar with each other. Their relationship was so good that Han Xiao was somewhat envious.

"Senior Han, thank you for today. How about I treat you guys to a meal tomorrow?" Seeing Da Niu and Zhao Xiang chatting with one another, Hao Xi took the opportunity to say this.

He glanced at Hao Xi and said indifferently, "Tomorrow, I plan to continue watching the group competition. I need to make quite a lot of preparations."

Hearing Han Xiao's obvious estrangement from Hao Xi, he said with a flattering smile, "That's right. After all, students are the most important. By the way, Senior Han, are you interested in establishing a power?"

"Establish power?" Could it be that there are still many powers in the academy? " Han Xiao asked.

Seeing Han Xiao's puzzled expression, Hao Xi stuck out his chest and said, "Senior Han, you have been in closed-door training the entire time, so I'm not sure. In fact, there are no less than a hundred forces in the entire Abyss Academy, but the few leading forces are led by twenty elite students, with each force having about fifty to sixty people. However, these fifty to sixty people are the most elite existences in the entire Academy, followed by the five factions that were formed on the first day of the Five Great Academies.

"In that case, it seems that no power is good enough." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.

"That's not entirely true. It's just that there are already two or three factions of influence among the new students. I feel that if Senior Han were to say that you want to establish a faction, there will definitely be a lot of people supporting you." Hao Wei said.

"What you said makes sense. Since that's the case, I'll go and ask Senior Xi if he's lacking people. Since there's nothing better to do, I'll go and join in the fun. It's getting late. Zhao Xiang and I will go to Senior Xi first." After saying that, Han Xiao placed the bright coin on the table, then patted Zhao Xiang's shoulder and walked out. Zhao Xiang seemed to see the unhappiness in Han Xiao's heart and quickly followed Han Xiao out.

"Zhao Xiang, are there really that many forces in the academy?" After exiting the small cafeteria, Han Xiao asked indifferently.

"Although there are some, they are not as exaggerated as Hao Xi said. In fact, many forces were established to better accomplish the mission. Furthermore, Han Xiao always felt that Hao Xi was purposely trying to please you." Zhao Xiang frowned and said.

"He doesn't seem like he is. He is just trying to please me. It seems like he won't be able to stay idle in the future." Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the courtyard.

"Han Xiao, didn't you say you were going to look for Senior Xi?" Zhao Xiang asked in doubt.

Seeing Zhao Xiang's puzzled expression, Han Xiao helplessly shook his head and no longer paid any attention to Zhao Xiang as he walked toward the direction of the courtyard.

As for Zhao Xiang, he looked at Han Xiao's back for a long time, but still couldn't understand why Han Xiao didn't look for Xi Yun, so he stopped thinking about following Han Xiao.
