Gu Yuena Insists on Sharing a Dorm with Me; Skywater Academy Is Too Enthusiastic
"Doesn't the notice say applications close at six this afternoon? There are still a few minutes left."
"I traveled thousands of miles because of your academy's reputation. Surely you can give me a chance?"
Gu Yuena gave Lin Tian a meaningful look and took the initiative to ask for a chance.
When Lin Tian heard that she had traveled "thousands of miles," he felt a little sorry for her. "Teacher Leng, it hasn't been easy for her either. She traveled thousands of miles to get here, poor thing. There really is still time, so why not give her a chance?"
Since Lin Tian had spoken up, Leng Xi found it hard to refuse.
If Lin Tian took issue with her over this, it wouldn't be worth the loss.
"All right, I'll give you a chance."
"But Skywater Academy has very high admission requirements."
"First, your Martial Soul must be related to the water attribute."
"Second, your cultivation must reach level twenty-one before you turn sixteen."
"No, wait. The dean just said the admission requirements are changing. You need to reach the twenty-first level as a Soul Grandmaster before you turn fourteen."
"Lastly, you have to be good-looking enough."
"Of course, you're quite good-looking, so you pass that requirement."
"But looks alone aren't enough. You must meet all three conditions."
Leng Xi had raised the admission requirements on her own, hoping to make things difficult for Gu Yuena.
"Mm, the requirements seem reasonable enough. As it happens, I meet them."
"My name is Gu Yuena. My Martial Soul is the Water Dragon, and I'm a level thirty-eight Soul Elder."
After hearing the requirements, Gu Yuena drew on the Silver Dragon King's original power to transform her Martial Soul into a Water Dragon and fixed her cultivation at level thirty-eight. Her three Soul Rings also had the optimal configuration: yellow, yellow, and purple.
"A level th-thirty-eight Soul Elder?"
Leng Xi, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er were stunned when they saw her Martial Soul and Soul Ring Configuration.
Gu Yuena looked a little younger than Shui Bing'er, about the same age as Shui Yue'er.
With such aptitude, she could be called an exceptionally rare genius, and her Martial Soul fully met Skywater Academy's requirements.
Well, now they had no choice but to admit her.
Lin Tian, meanwhile, stared at Gu Yuena in surprise.
As far as he knew, wasn't the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena supposed to wait another twenty thousand years before awakening and taking human form as Gu Yuena to experience life in the human world? Why had she appeared early?
No, that wasn't right. Gu Yuena was supposed to be two people in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.
One was called Na'er and had the Silver Dragon Spear Martial Soul.
The other was called Gu Yue and had the Seven-Colored Dragon Martial Soul, also known as the Elementalist Martial Soul.
Only after the two became one were they called Gu Yuena and possessed the complete Silver Dragon King Martial Soul. Yet the Gu Yuena before him had a Water Dragon Martial Soul, which had nothing to do with any of that.
Could this person not be the Gu Yuena from twenty thousand years in the future, but someone with the same name?
No, that wasn't right either. In the original story, Skywater Academy had no genius named Gu Yuena, nor anyone with a Water Dragon Martial Soul.
With the aptitude this person had displayed, she would definitely be able to participate in the Soul Master Tournament.
At this moment, Lin Tian was a little bewildered.
The plot was going a little differently. Could he have transmigrated to a fake Douluo Continent, or a parallel world of the Douluo Continent?
Forget it. I can't be bothered to think about it. My head hurts!
"Not bad. A rare genius indeed."
"Since you meet all of Skywater Academy's requirements, you've passed."
"Gu Yuena, my name is Leng Xi. I'm the instructor for your class of new students. Welcome to Skywater Academy."
Leng Xi recovered from her shock and welcomed Gu Yuena.
"Thank you, Teacher Leng. Can I share a dorm with him?"
After thanking her, Gu Yuena turned her gaze to Lin Tian.
Her target was Lin Tian. Since she wanted to develop their feelings for each other, living together would naturally make things more convenient.
"Teacher Leng, isn't there still an empty bed in the dorm I share with Bing'er and Yue'er?"
"Why not let her move in? The more people, the livelier it'll be."
"Don't worry, I'm a very frank person, and I know where to draw the line. I won't do anything improper."
Seeing that Gu Yuena wanted to share a dorm with him, and that she was quite determined about it, Lin Tian felt somewhat awkward.
But when he thought about living with such a beautiful female classmate, he was naturally willing. No one would turn down a good thing like that.
"All right. That fills the room."
Since Lin Tian had no objection, Leng Xi had no choice but to agree.
At this point, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er realized how serious the situation was, and their faces filled with hostility.
Gu Yuena had definitely come to compete with them for his favor.
"Thank you, Teacher Leng."
"Fellow student, may I ask your name? We'll be roommates from now on."
Gu Yuena thanked Leng Xi, then took the initiative to reach out and greet Lin Tian.
Anyone who stood in the way of her romance with Lin Tian was an enemy.
"Hello, my name is Lin Tian. I'll call you Yuena from now on."
"They're Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. They're our roommates too. Let's all get along and help each other out."
Lin Tian reached out and clasped Gu Yuena's small hand, warmth filling his heart.
"All right, we'll be good friends from now on," Gu Yuena said with a nod.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er both nodded as well.
Just like that, Leng Xi led Lin Tian and Gu Yuena to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's dorm.
There were four beds in the room, arranged along both sides, two on each side. Each was a standard student bed, with a bed above and a desk and wardrobe underneath.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er both occupied the spots near the door, leaving the two beds near the bathroom for Lin Tian and Gu Yuena.
In the end, Gu Yuena chose the bed on Shui Bing'er's side, so Lin Tian could only take the one on Shui Yue'er's side.
Since Skywater Academy had only prepared women's clothing, Lin Tian could only wear his own clothes to school for the time being. His men's uniform would be issued once it was made.
While Lin Tian happily enrolled at Skywater Academy, every faction on the Douluo Continent began to move, making their way toward Skywater City.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, who were on their way to Shrek Academy to take its entrance exam, also turned around and headed straight for Skywater Academy.
Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the two great empires were all sending people there. Even Yu Xiaogang and Tang Yuehua, the master of Moonlight Pavilion, were on their way to Skywater City.
They had only one goal: to gain Lin Tian's favor and obtain generous rewards.
After Lin Tian and Gu Yuena put their things away, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er took them for a stroll around Skywater Academy.
Along the way, everyone from old women in their seventies and eighties to little girls only a few years old took the initiative to greet him with great enthusiasm.
If Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er hadn't held them back, he would probably have been completely surrounded and unable to get out.
That kind of enthusiastic popularity made him feel like a celebrity at the height of his fame.
Is this how male students are treated at Skywater Academy? They're so enthusiastic it makes me uncomfortable all over.
When Lin Tian arrived at the cafeteria, the intensity of their enthusiasm surpassed even what he had imagined.
The moment he appeared in the cafeteria, all the teachers and students stood up, their eyes full of fervor. He didn't even need to get his own food.
Before he had even sat down, many female students wearing gentle smiles swayed their enticing figures as they brought out the most delicious food. The table before him was piled high with delicacies in an instant.
Quite a few also cast flirtatious glances at him, hoping to get close and press themselves against him, showing off their enormous advantages that were plain to see at a glance.
