Can't Boys Join Skywater Academy

Skywater Academy is a perfect fit for Sea Soul Beasts, which are either water-attributed or ice-attributed—exactly the standards Skywater uses for recruitment!

Xiao Bai's entry would be no problem, but the main issue is that Ye Wen and Evil Tiger are both boys, so they probably can't get in.

"Let's try first. If I can't get into Skywater Academy, I'll make other plans." Ye Wen calculated inwardly.

Shui Bing'er gave a hazy smile. "Then I'll thank Teacher Xiuzhen on their behalf."

"Alright, let's leave quickly. I don't know what's going on with the Star Dou Great Forest today, but it triggered a small-scale beast tide. Something must be wrong. To avoid getting caught up in it, we need to leave as soon as possible."

"Mm, okay."

"Children, follow me."

Shui Xiuzhen swiftly led Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, Shui Bing'er, and another Skywater student in a retreat.

This time, they had entered the Star Dou Great Forest to help that Skywater student obtain a soul ring. Since the student had already absorbed it, there was no reason to stay.

The group of five, protected by Soul Sage Shui Xiuzhen, successfully fought their way out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Around dusk, they reached the nearest small town to the Star Dou Great Forest.

There were quite a few such towns around the forest, mainly serving as rest stops for soul masters coming and going.

Soul masters came to obtain soul rings or, for a living or to earn money, to hunt soul beasts and sell materials from their bodies.

The value of these towns lay in providing a resting station for those soul masters.

Since it was almost dark, Shui Xiuzhen decided to have everyone stay here for the night.

"By the way, I still don't know the names of you three little ones." Shui Xiuzhen gave a warm smile.

She was a gentle woman, treating them kindly without a trace of a Soul Sage's arrogance. A Soul Sage was a major figure in any city or even province.

Shui Xiuzhen's personality and attitude made Ye Wen feel very comfortable.

"My name is Ye Wen."

"Evil Tiger."

"Xiao Bai."

"Mm, hehe. Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai—good, I've remembered your names." Shui Xiuzhen smiled, then introduced herself. "I'm Shui Xiuzhen, a level 71 Soul Sage and a teacher at Skywater Academy. Do you know Skywater Academy?"

"Yes. Skywater Academy, along with Thunder Academy, Elephant Armor Academy, Godwind Academy, and Blazing Fire Academy, are the five great elemental academies on the continent." Ye Wen said.

"Mm, it seems you know quite a bit." Shui Xiuzhen chuckled.

Shui Bing'er then extended her hand. "Hello, I'm Shui Bing'er, a third-year student at Skywater Academy."

Another girl introduced herself. "My name is Xue Yan, a fourth-year student at Skywater Academy."

"Hello."

Ye Wen and the other two extended their hands and shook theirs.

After a brief round of introductions, they got to know each other. Shui Xiuzhen also found a hotel with a suite for them to stay in.

It had six rooms and a living room, so each person could have their own room.

Now, Shui Xiuzhen gathered everyone in the living room.

She was a responsible person. Since she had brought Ye Wen and the others out of the Star Dou Great Forest, she would keep her promise—if they couldn't join Skywater Academy, she would find them another Soul Master Academy to study at.

So, she needed to first understand Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai's soul power, martial souls, and talent, so she could arrange a suitable academy and give them recommendation letters.

"Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, don't worry. I said I'd arrange a Soul Master Academy for you, and I will. When you go to study, I can also help cover your tuition."

"Think of it as my investment in you. When you grow up and can earn money, you can pay me back." Shui Xiuzhen said.

"What a good person. No wonder Skywater Academy raised such kind-hearted girls."

Ye Wen's impression of Skywater Academy came from his memories of their participation in the Soul Master Tournament.

The main members of the Skywater Team were all kind, beautiful girls with good personalities. Now he realized it was because they had such a good teacher behind them.

Shui Xiuzhen continued, "But before I recommend an academy, I need to know your soul power, martial souls, and innate soul power levels~"

"Sister Xiuzhen, can't we just join Skywater Academy?" Ye Wen asked, acting very obedient.

Shui Xiuzhen was forty years old, but soul masters generally looked younger.

A forty-year-old woman appeared to be just over thirty, looking quite young. She wore a light blue dress, white stockings, and had above-average looks—on Earth, she'd be considered a beauty.

Her figure was also striking, with curves in all the right places—estimated at a D-cup.

And at forty, being a level 71 Soul Sage, her talent was no less than those graduates from Shrek Academy, who were hailed as the continent's youngest Soul Emperors!

Hearing Ye Wen call her "sister," Shui Xiuzhen felt a surge of joy.

Ye Wen could have called her "aunt," but what woman likes being called that?

Hearing "sister" immediately made her happy. She chuckled, "No can do~ Ye Wen. Skywater Academy only accepts girls."

"Boys really can't?" Ye Wen asked.

"Mm, of course. If you were talented enough and your martial soul attributes matched—our ice and water attributes—then maybe there'd be a chance. But not just ordinary geniuses. You'd have to be a genius among geniuses, like Shui Bing'er."

Xiao Bai asked, "Is Bing'er a genius among geniuses?"

Beside her, Xue Yan said proudly, "Of course she's a genius! Bing'er is the most talented student at our Skywater Academy!"

"Hehe, Bing'er, tell them yourself." Shui Xiuzhen smiled, looking with satisfaction at her most outstanding student at Skywater Academy.

Shui Bing'er smiled faintly, neither arrogant nor boastful: "My martial soul is the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix. My Innate Soul Power is level 9. I'm nine years and five months old, and my current soul power is level 22."

Xiao Bai was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, Bing'er is really amazing."

"Hmph, that's nothing special," Evil Tiger muttered inwardly.

Ye Wen had long expected Shui Bing'er to have reached over twenty levels. She could be considered one of the top talents in terms of innate ability among all academies and all students in the future Soul Master Tournament.

Among the Shrek Seven Monsters, aside from Tang San, if they hadn't taken drugs and eaten Immortal Herbs, Ye Wen thought none could compare to Shui Bing'er—not even Oscar with his Innate Full Soul Power!

Innate Full Soul Power doesn't necessarily mean faster cultivation; level 9 isn't much different from full power.

That Feng Xiaotian was about ten years older than Tang San. At the Soul Master Tournament, at 24 years old, he was only level 44.
