Genius Girl Shui Bing'er

"Hello, Uncle Lei."

Yu Tianlin greeted him politely, but his thoughts were drawn to the Martial Soul his father had just mentioned.

Thunder Eagle Martial Soul? He seemed to have some impression of it. In the original Soul Master Tournament, Thunderbolt Academy had a Soul Ancestor with a Thunder Eagle Martial Soul.

After carefully sizing up Yu Tianlin for a while, Lei Bao suddenly stood up, turned back to his desk, and began rummaging through the pile of documents on it.

Seeing Lei Bao's movements, Yu Mingfeng asked in some confusion, "Old Lei, what are you looking for?"

"The student files for the other Four Elements Academy participants in this exchange event."

Lei Bao replied without raising his head, then kept searching. Very soon, he pulled one folder out of the stack. "This is it."

Yu Mingfeng took the file folder from Lei Bao, and from where Yu Tianlin stood, he could see three large characters written on it—Shui Bing'er.

Yu Mingfeng turned the file folder over in his hands and fired off three questions in confusion. "Shui Bing'er? Who is this? Why are you giving me her file?"

"Tianlin just broke through to rank twenty-two at the age of eight. Looking across all the students of the Five Elements Academy, she's the only one who can barely compare." Watching Yu Mingfeng pull that page of information from the file, Lei Bao introduced her. "This girl named Shui Bing'er is no simple matter. She's the daughter of Skywater Academy's dean. She probably broke through to rank twenty at around eight years and eight months old, added a Soul Ring that same month, and had just reached rank twenty-two when she turned nine."

"Tsk, tsk. Her Martial Soul mutated from a Condensing Water Flying Luan into a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix?" Looking at the information in his hands, even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Yu Mingfeng could not help but praise her. "She's just turned ten and is already rank twenty-five. At this cultivation speed, by the time she's twelve, she'll definitely break through to the realm of a three-ring Soul Elder. The younger generation really is formidable."

Yu Mingfeng knew very well that his own son had risen two ranks by eating the Dragon Source Fruit, and another extra rank when absorbing his Second Soul Ring. Only then had he reached rank twenty-two at the age of eight. If those three ranks were removed, he really might not necessarily be able to compare to this little girl named Shui Bing'er.

Thinking of this, Yu Mingfeng handed that page of information directly to Yu Tianlin and warned him, "Look. We've only been out of the sect for a few days, and we've already run into a genius like this. There are so many geniuses out in the world, and there may very well be people stronger than you. So, Tianlin, you absolutely must not become proud or complacent."

Yu Tianlin did know of Shui Bing'er. He remembered that she even had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with some passerby, and during the Soul Master Tournament, she was the first to force out Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, making Tang San suffer quite a bit.

What Yu Tianlin had not expected, however, was that Shui Bing'er was actually this young. She was only ten now.

One had to know that the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament would be held next year, and the one after that would be another five years later.

In other words, the Soul Master Tournament in the original work would be held six years from now. At that time, Shui Bing'er would only be sixteen, and she would definitely have broken through to rank forty by then.

And that was not all. Skywater Academy also had several other Soul Ancestors, yet Shui Bing'er was able to secure the position of team captain. That showed she was not merely someone who had just broken through to rank forty. Yu Tianlin estimated that she should have been rank forty-three at that time.

Terrifying. Rank forty-three at sixteen. That meant she had definitely broken through to rank forty at fifteen, matching Spirit Hall's Golden Generation record!

As for this achievement, setting aside those few who had leveled up through medicine, only Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu could stand above her.

But Qian Renxue had inherited a God-level Martial Soul, and her Innate Soul Power was rank twenty. Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast cultivating anew, and her cultivation speed was extraordinarily fast. They could not be measured by the standards of ordinary people.

It could be said that, excluding external factors, the limit of normal human cultivation speed was rank forty at fifteen.

Well, of course, that was the current standard. Ten thousand years later, even five-ring Soul Kings at fifteen were not unheard of, and several seven-ring Soul Sages under twenty had popped up.

Shui Bing'er was actually this terrifying!

Who could have imagined that this character, who had not been described much in the original work, actually possessed such powerful talent?

After looking over Shui Bing'er's file, Yu Tianlin said seriously, "Don't worry. I'll keep working hard and won't become proud or complacent."

Yu Tianlin also felt a little sense of urgency in his heart. Even Shui Bing'er was this powerful, to say nothing of those three gods from the original work.

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong was already over rank ninety now. Angel God Qian Renxue was also a little older than him, and her Innate Soul Power was rank twenty, so she was definitely far ahead of him now. As for Sea God Tang San, his current Soul Power Level should not be higher than Yu Tianlin's, but in the mid-stage, Xiao Wu's sacrifice would instantly pull back the small gap Yu Tianlin had opened up. On top of that, Tang San had Twin Martial Souls. When the later stage came and he added Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer, his level shot upward at breakneck speed.

He did not want to be surpassed.

"Tianlin is only eight, yet he can avoid becoming proud and complacent over the results he's achieved. That's impressive too." Looking at Yu Tianlin's serious expression, Lei Bao coaxed him as if coaxing a child, then turned to Yu Mingfeng and asked, "Mingfeng, what are your plans next? Why not stay here for a few days? Once I've finished handling things, I'll call Jin Qing out too, and the three of us brothers can have a few drinks."

"No." Yu Mingfeng shook his head and said, "I'll leave Tianlin to you. I'll go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy later to see Tian Heng, then I should return to the sect."

Lei Bao also knew that as the Young Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, Yu Mingfeng was busy with many affairs and could not remain outside for long, so he said, "That works too. Leave Tianlin to me. Don't worry."

"Now, Tianlin, Dad is going back. You need to study properly at the academy and don't get into conflicts with your classmates." Yu Mingfeng crouched in front of Yu Tianlin, placed both hands on his shoulders, and said, "Tian Xin is also at the academy. If you have any problems, you can ask him for help. If you really can't solve them, come find Uncle Lei. During your rest time, you can also go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to play with your big brother..."

Looking at his endlessly nagging father, Yu Tianlin could only answer helplessly, "I know, I know."

"All right, that's enough." Yu Mingfeng stood up, took an envelope from his Storage Soul Tool, handed it to Lei Bao, and said, "This is a letter from my father to the academy leadership. Inside are some suggestions regarding Tianlin's arrangements. Take a look."

With that said, Yu Mingfeng turned and left.

"Safe travels."

"Goodbye, Dad!"

After Yu Mingfeng left, Lei Bao did not hurry to open the letter. Instead, he smiled warmly at Yu Tianlin and said, "Little Tianlin, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll have someone take you to the cafeteria. The food at our Thunderbolt Academy is still quite good."

Among the first generation's Seven Monsters, only Xiao Wu genuinely broke through to rank forty at fourteen. The others all relied on medicine. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for them to even reach the Golden Generation's result of rank forty at fifteen.

After Tang San ate the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, although he did not rise five or six ranks on the spot, that was because the medicinal power had not been absorbed. As the medicinal power was slowly absorbed, his rank also soared. He rose three ranks in half a year at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then another three ranks in the half-year after returning to Shrek. In that one year, he rose six ranks, and that was precisely the effect of those two immortal herbs.
