Sister, Can You Still Hold On? Sister: I Can't

Even the Golden Generation of the Martial Soul Hall, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena, were all older than Tang San by five years or more.

There was also Blazing Fire Academy's Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, as well as Heaven Dou's Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan. In fact, any talented student you could think of from the Soul Master Tournament was older than Tang San by five years or more.

Only Shui Bing'er was just one year older than Tang San. During the Soul Master Tournament, she was 15 years old with level 43 Soul Power!

Coupled with her top-tier ice-attribute Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix, Shui Bing'er's potential was actually immense.

"So, you guys can't join Skywater Academy!" Shui Xiuzhen said casually, mainly to avoid discouraging Ye Wen and the other two.

Because no one believed that the child they casually met in the Star Dou Great Forest could be as talented as Shui Bing'er.

That was simply impossible!

Skywater Academy only produced one Shui Bing'er in a hundred years.

But what Ye Wen said next astonished Shui Xiuzhen, Shui Bing'er, and the other two.

"If reaching Shui Bing'er's level allows us to join Skywater Academy, then I think we should be fine," Ye Wen said calmly, uttering words that made them incredibly surprised.

Fine?

Do you know what you're saying?

Shui Bing'er was a genius among the younger generation who possessed either ice or water attributes. There were less than a handful of such talents on the entire continent.

And this boy in front of them was saying they were fine?

"Heh heh." Shui Xiuzhen took it as a joke and was about to speak when Ye Wen said first, "Xiao Bai, Evil Tiger, show yourselves to Sister Xiuzhen."

"Okay."

The scene that followed would directly shock Shui Bing'er and the other two, making it impossible for them to forget the scene they witnessed today for the rest of their lives.

First, a giant Demon Soul Great White Shark appeared behind Xiao Bai.

The aura of the Demon Soul Great White Shark completely suppressed Shui Xiuzhen's Ice Scorpion Martial Soul, indicating that Xiao Bai's Martial Soul quality was even higher than the high-quality Martial Soul, the Ice Scorpion!

Its aura was on par with Shui Bing'er's top-tier Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix!

"Heavens... Heavens!!"

"This girl's Martial Soul... is! A top-tier Sea Soul Beast Martial Soul, the Demon Soul Great White Shark!!"

Shui Xiuzhen and Shui Bing'er's mouths hung open, stunned and frozen in place, bewildered.

Since Skywater Academy only accepted students with water or ice attributes, they usually set up recruitment stations in coastal areas or near the far north.

Being close to the sea meant more water-attribute Soul Masters, and being in extremely cold places near the far north meant more ice-attribute Soul Masters.

Therefore, Skywater Academy was arguably the academy most familiar with coastal areas and the Sea Soul Beasts in the ocean on the continent.

They had naturally heard legends of Sea Soul Beasts like the Demon Soul Great White Shark, the Evil Spirit Orca, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

"My Innate Soul Power is level 10, and my current Soul Power is level 11," Xiao Bai said.

"A genius! This girl is a genius among geniuses, she must belong to our Skywater Academy!! She must!" Shui Xiuzhen was already incredibly excited, filled with immense surprise.

But the surprises were yet to come.

It was Evil Tiger's turn to release its Martial Soul. It was also a top-tier Sea Soul Beast Martial Soul, the Evil Spirit Orca. Its aura even surpassed Xiao Bai's and Shui Bing'er's by a sliver, meaning it was even more powerful than Xiao Bai's and Shui Bing'er's Martial Souls!

"Another top-tier Sea Soul Beast Martial Soul!! The Evil Spirit Orca!!!"

"Heavens! Oh my god!!!"

"I can't take it anymore~! I'm going to faint~!!"

"Mmmph~!"

Shui Xiuzhen felt like she was about to faint from excitement. Her face was flushed with excitement, and her rapid breathing caused her chest to heave violently.

"I also have Innate Full Soul Power, and my current Soul Power is level 11."

"Sister Xiuzhen, can you still hold on?" Ye Wen asked with a worried expression.

Shui Xiuzhen clutched her chest, slightly closing her legs, and panted, "I can still make it! I can still make it!"

"Alright, it's my turn then."

Ye Wen smiled faintly and released his Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Martial Soul. A Martial Soul far more terrifying than the Evil Tiger Orca, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and the Ice Phoenix appeared.

"I also have Innate Soul Power level 10, and my current Soul Power is level 14."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King completely suppressed all the Martial Souls present. After its appearance, it was as if the other Martial Souls bowed their heads slightly!

Undeniably, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was indeed the pinnacle of pinnacles.

"How is this possible! It's the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!!!!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"How could it be, how could it be that three Martial Souls, known as overlords of the sea, appeared at once!"

"What kind of terrible luck do I have!!"

"Wait! This child's first Soul Ring is incredible! It's a Thousand-Year level! It's actually a Thousand-Year Soul Ring!!"

"I can't do it~! I really can't do it anymore!!"

"I really can't take it~!"

"Mmmph ahhh~~~"

Shui Xiuzhen completely fainted from excitement.

"So... so amazing..."

Shui Bing'er and Xue Yan were completely stunned, dumbfounded, finding it unbelievable, incredibly shocked, and unable to utter a single word.

"Teacher Xiuzhen!!"

"Sister Xiuzhen!!"

Several people simultaneously helped up Shui Xiuzhen, who had fainted to the ground in excitement, and placed her on the sofa.

Ye Wen was a little speechless and said, "Uh, is Sister Xiuzhen's psychological resilience that poor?"

Shui Bing'er's gaze towards Ye Wen and the other two had completely changed. She was also very excited internally, but she calmly explained, "It's mainly because your talents and Martial Souls are too astonishing."

Xue Yan said, "Yeah! I almost cried from being scared!"

Shui Bing'er continued, "Moreover, for Teacher Xiuzhen, your appearance is exceptionally significant."

"What do you mean?" Ye Wen was a bit confused.

"Teacher Xiuzhen, from the time she joined Skywater Academy at the age of six until she graduated and became a teacher at Skywater Academy, her entire life has been spent at Skywater Academy. Her feelings for it are too deep; Skywater is like her home."

"Her dream is also to hope that Skywater Academy becomes even more outstanding, even surpassing the other four elemental academies. She also hopes to lead Skywater Academy once to successfully break into the top four in the Soul Master Tournament!"

"But it's been decades for our Skywater Academy. Every time, we stop at the quarterfinals, always just one step away. If geniuses like you can join Skywater Academy, breaking into the top four in the future should be no problem. Her dream would be considered partially realized."

"That's why Teacher Xiuzhen was so excited," Shui Bing'er finished.

"So that's how it is," Ye Wen nodded, understanding.

Skywater Academy was actually already very strong, but unfortunately, there were always stronger academies, like Martial Soul Hall, which had won the championship for several consecutive sessions.

And also, Star Luo Royal Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy, two strong teams. These three teams basically always took the top three spots.

The top four meant only one spot was left, with dozens or hundreds of academies competing for it.
