Shui Yunshu's Dilemma

The location of the Skywater Academy.

Because of Lin Hai's arrival, the girls wisely left.

Even the Shui Bing'er sisters were sent away by Shui Yunshu under some pretext, leaving only the two of them in the spacious room.

"The girls don't seem to be in a very high mood! What happened?" Lin Hai pulled Shui Yunshu over and let her sit on his lap, asking with a smile.

"It's all because of you!" Shui Yunshu gave Lin Hai a coquettish glare and gently slapped away his hand that was playing tricks on her chest.

"Because of me?" Lin Hai was taken aback, then seemed to understand something and said jokingly:

"What, does the entire Tianshui Women's Team have taken a liking to me? I'm truly flattered."

Upon hearing this, Shui Yunshu poked Lin Hai's forehead in an annoyed tone. "Stop being so conceited!"

He paused for a moment, then explained, "I was referring to the Elixir Pill!"

"When you described the effects of the Elixir Pill, you deliberately used vague language, and I took the first one because I was worried."

"Unexpectedly, I gained tremendous benefits, and my Martial Soul and Soul Power both experienced a qualitative leap."

"I can't possibly leave all three remaining Elixir Pill to the direct descendants of the Shui Family, can I? That would be too unfair to the other children."

"That's why I sent a message to my sister, giving the last Elixir Pill to that child, Xue Wu."

"But now you see..."

"Although Hai Rou and the other girls didn't say anything, they understood that their talents were indeed inferior to Xue Wu's, but the envy and disappointment in their eyes were undeniable, and it was heartbreaking to see them like that."

"And then there's Xue Wu. Because of her guilt, she always avoids everyone, as if she's done something wrong, and isolates herself from the world."

As Shui Yunshu finished speaking, she looked at Lin Hai with Youyou gaze, her expression clearly saying: All of this is your fault!

She hadn't originally intended to say this, fearing it would leave Lin Hai with the impression that she was greedy and insatiable.

But then she thought that the Shui Family would likely live with Lin Hai for a long time in the future, and they couldn't always be so cautious with each other.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Lin Hai over this period of time, this man seemed to particularly enjoy seeing her occasionally show a little woman's side and act coquettishly towards him.

Sure enough, Lin Hai wasn't angry at all after hearing her complaints. Instead, he laughed and pinched her cheek.

"When you gave the Elixir Pill to Xue Wu, didn't you tell her that there were only three Elixir Pill?"

"No..." Shui Yunshu's voice softened, with a hint of regret, "I was just afraid that if she knew the quantity was limited, she wouldn't be willing to accept it!"

"This girl is really talented, even better than Yue'er. I really don't want to let her talent go to waste."

"In addition, she can perform the Martial Soul Fusion Skill together with Bing'er, so giving it to her is undoubtedly the most suitable option."

Lin Hai nodded upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, said:

"Okay, tell me in detail about the Martial Soul and characteristics of Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu and the others, and I'll go back and think of a solution."

Immortal Herb nurtured by the power of ice and fire naturally have mostly ice and fire attributes.

Lin Hai had not actually used up all the ice-attribute Immortal Herb he possessed.

The previous four Elixir Pill were made primarily with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, making them the purest ice-attribute Elixir Pill, perfectly suited for Shui Yunshu and Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

But it's really not that it's particularly suitable for Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu.

After all, the Immortal Herb was born of heaven and earth, and it wasn't customized according to the Martial Soul characteristics of the people around him.

However, pure ice-attribute Elixir Pill are still quite compatible with most water and ice-attribute Soul Master, so they can be considered a second-best option.

Therefore, it wouldn't be difficult to create a few similar, slightly less effective secondary Elixir Pill based on the characteristics of Yu Hairou and the others' Martial Soul.

Shui Yunshu's eyes lit up instantly after hearing Lin Hai's words. "You mean?"

Seeing her delighted expression, Lin Hai gently brushed her luscious lips aside with his finger and said with a mischievous smile:

"What I mean is, as the dean, you have to thank me properly on their behalf... you have to be very hardworking and dedicated!"

Shui Yunshu immediately understood his implied meaning; it was clear that he agreed to prepare Elixir Pill for the other women as well!

As for "effort"... isn't it just about finding all sorts of ways to satisfy that bad guy?

So she turned her head and faced Lin Hai.

Her initially delighted face instantly hardened, transforming into a cold, heartbroken expression.

"As long as you spare my poor students... I... I'll let you do whatever you want with me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai's expression turned both pleased and displeased.

What's delightful is that the beautiful woman knows how to play and gets into character very quickly.

The thing is, those words sound... like they're implying something?

However, with the warm and soft woman in his arms, he still followed his body's instincts, picked up the cold woman in his arms, and strode towards the bed.

An hour later, Shui Yunshu's eyes were glazed over. Before falling into a deep sleep, she used her last bit of strength to mumble a few words:

"Don't... don't forget to get one for my sister too!"

The last thought before falling asleep was:

This nemesis... the duration is shorter than before, but the frequency is higher, it's rushing to be reincarnated!

Little did she know that this was entirely Lin Hai's subconscious self-adjustment in order to accelerate the refining of the Divine Artifact.

After Shui Yunshu woke up, Lin Hai had already disappeared.

She sat up, stretched her body, and felt exceptionally refreshed, both physically and mentally.

So she immediately got up and went out to tell the members of the Tianshui Women's Team the good news that Lin Hai had agreed to continue refining Elixir Pill.

In an instant, the somewhat gloomy atmosphere of the Tianshui Women's Team was swept away.

Hope returned to the girls' eyes, and their former liveliness and vitality returned.

Although the dean had clearly stated that the refining and absorption of the Elixir Pill would take some time, they had to patiently wait until the competition ended, as they could not achieve instant fame in this competition.

But it doesn't matter. Life is a long journey, and there are still many days ahead, aren't there?

As long as you can improve your talents, you will always have the opportunity to shine in the future!

The finals are still in full swing, and the advancement situation is not much different from that in the previous life.

However, Lin Hai still took advantage of his status to engage in some underhanded dealings.

He didn't do anything else, but privately found the Red-robed Cardinal in charge of the lottery ceremony and casually gave him an instruction:

"Before the fourth round of the top six matches begins, we must prevent the six teams— Spirit Hall Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, Shrek Academy, Skywater Academy, and New Divine Wind Academy—from meeting each other prematurely."

Just like in her previous life, Huo Wu, with her strong personality and unwillingness to be second to anyone, ultimately couldn't resist her competitive spirit and single-handedly brought about the temporary alliance between the Blazing Academy and Godwind Academy.

Unlike in the previous life, the emergence of this new Divine Wind Team did not encounter resistance from some teams in the Heaven Dou team.

After all, even if they combine the elite students from the two academies, it will only add a few more Soul Ancestor level members.

In this tournament where Soul Emperor and Soul King frequently emerge, this level of integration is hardly making a splash.

It wasn't until the third round of the competition, when Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu appeared, that the Soul Master were once again excited!

After taking the Elixir Pill, Xue Wu's Soul Power reached level 48.

Shui Bing'er, on the other hand, had reached level 52!

Another Soul King has been born!

However, for most onlookers, it was more about enjoying the spectacle and marveling at the extraordinary nature of this competition.

But there was one person who simply couldn't take it anymore.
