After lunch, Shui Xinrou went to Skywater Academy to handle some affairs.
Shui Yue'er looked at Liu Yanyang and Shui Bing'er being all lovey-dovey, her little face scrunching up as she said gloomily.
"Big Sis, can you two stop showing off your affection already? I really can't take you two anymore, boohoo~"
Shui Bing'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then looked at Liu Yanyang with tender affection in her eyes.
"Do you want to see what the Skywater Team's training involves? While we're at it, you can improve the 'good impression' you've made on my sisters."
Liu Yanyang lightly squeezed Shui Bing'er's soft hand and nodded with a helpless smile.
"He doesn't exactly have a good reputation at Skywater Academy!"
Afterward, the three of them tidied up briefly and set off for Skywater Academy.
Half an hour later, Shui Yue'er linked arms with Shui Bing'er, while Shui Bing'er and Liu Yanyang walked hand in hand. The three appeared side by side at the gates of Skywater Academy.
They instantly drew the attention of the academy's students. After Shui Bing'er greeted the student on duty, she led Liu Yanyang straight toward the training grounds. Students passing by whispered among themselves and looked at Liu Yanyang strangely.
Wonderful. I've attracted another wave of hate! Liu Yanyang could not help lamenting inwardly.
They arrived at a secluded lake, beside which lay a flat artificial training ground.
Five girls were chatting noisily on the field. They were members of the Skywater Team.
"Big Sis! Yue'er!" Xue Wu and the others called out in unison.
But when they saw Liu Yanyang still holding their big sister's hand, Xue Wu immediately challenged him.
"You heartless bastard! Didn't you say you had nothing to do with Big Sis? Why are you holding hands today?"
Liu Yanyang coughed awkwardly before declaring righteously, "The person from yesterday wasn't me!"
What kind of scumbag line was that? Xue Wu and the others looked at Liu Yanyang with disgust.
"Alright, stop teasing them," Shui Bing'er said softly.
She then explained the whole situation to them, finally clearing up the misunderstanding, though they still remained suspicious.
Liu Yanyang could only feel helpless about that. After all, once suspicion arose, the verdict had already been decided.
"What are your Soul Power Levels?" Liu Yanyang asked casually.
After Xue Wu and the others saw Shui Bing'er nod slightly, "Xue Wu, martial soul Dancing Snow Forging Snow, Level 33 Soul Elder!"
"Shen Liuyu, martial soul Enamel Lucky Crocodile, Level 31 Soul Elder!"
"Yu Hairou, martial soul Coral Barracuda, Level 32 Soul Elder!"
"Qiu Ruoshui, martial soul Green Lotus Perfumed Perch, Level 32 Soul Elder!"
"Gu Qingbo, martial soul Azure Marlin, Level 31 Soul Elder!"
After they finished their introductions, Liu Yanyang nodded. In the original Soul Master Competition, only Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu had broken through to Soul Ancestor.
He did not plan to participate in the future Soul Master Competition. By then, he might have already broken through to Soul Emperor, which would be far too conspicuous.
But he would not give up on those three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. Soul bones in this world were simply too rare!
He could only use the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to speed up their progress. He would not really give them Immortal Herbs, but top-grade medicinal herbs were still possible.
By then, a team made entirely of Soul Ancestors, with Bing'er, a Soul King, holding the fort—defeating Spirit Hall's team and winning those three soul bones should not be difficult.
As for Little Bie San's Shrek Team, sorry, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now belonged to him and Old Poison. Little Bie San could keep dreaming.
As for whether the Asura God behind Little Bie San really existed and whether he would give him cheats, Liu Yanyang's response was simple: who cared?
Turning to Shui Bing'er, he asked, "Bing'er, is your Elemental Academy Exchange Tournament held every two years? And do the teams spar with one another as well?"
Shui Bing'er nodded, looking at Liu Yanyang in confusion.
It looks like the matter of taking the medicinal herbs will have to wait until after the Exchange Tournament two years from now, Liu Yanyang thought to himself.
Seeing Liu Yanyang lost in thought, Xue Wu's eyes shifted as she spoke with a faintly mocking tone.
"You defeated Yu Tianxin in one move yesterday. I wonder if you dare fight us sisters?"
Liu Yanyang nodded. It was a good opportunity to test the Skywater Team's level.
Xue Wu and the others were quite excited as they looked at Shui Bing'er.
"Big Sis, you can't go easy on him!"
Shui Bing'er shook her head. Only she knew how strong Liu Yanyang truly was.
On the training ground!
Liu Yanyang stood alone, while Shui Bing'er and the other six had already taken their positions across from him.
At the command, they all summoned their Martial Souls at once.
Xue Wu began dancing with the wind. Dark clouds gathered over the entire training ground, and heavy rain began to fall. Gradually, snowflakes drifted down as well.
Liu Yanyang felt the surrounding temperature plummet, while his Soul Power drained faster.
"First Soul Skill—Ice Seal!"
The Soul Ring beneath Shui Bing'er's feet lit up.
In an instant, an icy-blue halo enveloped Liu Yanyang, forming a thick, bone-chilling ring that locked him firmly in place.
Seeing Liu Yanyang unable to move, Xue Wu shouted.
"Sisters, get him!"
The six girls besides Shui Bing'er charged at Liu Yanyang at top speed.
The corners of Liu Yanyang's lips curled upward. As they rushed toward him, two Soul Rings lit up.
"First Soul Skill—Dragon Roar!"
"Third Soul Skill—Unyielding!"
In an instant, he shattered the seal. His figure flashed away, and a few breaths later—
The girls were all lying on the ground, twitching. Every one of them had been sent flying by a single strike from Liu Yanyang's spear.
He then looked at Shui Bing'er, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Under the effects of his two enhancement Soul Skills, he charged toward her like a ghost.
"Ice Seal ×4!"
Casting it four times in an instant, Shui Bing'er panted slightly.
Liu Yanyang merely waved one hand a few times and directly broke through Shui Bing'er's Soul Skill.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er immediately lit up her third Soul Ring—Frost Domain.
A ring of icy-blue light spread outward. The temperature plunged, heavy snow swirled through the air, and the area instantly became a kingdom of ice and snow.
Liu Yanyang felt his Soul Power draining rapidly, while his speed also slowed.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Yanyang still charged forward, attempting to close in on Shui Bing'er.
"Second Soul Skill—Repulsion Light!"
Seeing the rippling ring of white light rushing toward him, Liu Yanyang made a split-second decision. He hurled the Dragon Roar Spear with all his strength, then leaped fiercely.
A violent explosion rang out. The Dragon Roar Spear flew backward, and white mist spread everywhere. Shui Bing'er could not sense Liu Yanyang's location and warily scanned her surroundings.
Suddenly, she felt someone embrace her from behind. Turning around, she discovered it was Liu Yanyang. Her face immediately flushed red, though she was also somewhat confused.
"I used 'Cheng Ying' to conceal myself, so of course you couldn't sense me!" Liu Yanyang explained.
Without using his fourth Soul Skill, he had no particularly good way to defeat Shui Bing'er. After all, a rule-type Soul Skill like Repulsion Light was inherently rather overpowered.
Then, he took Shui Bing'er's soft hand, and the two walked out side by side. As for the people on the ground...
On the way back to Shui Mansion, Liu Yanyang spoke softly.
"Bing'er, what level is Aunt Shui at now?"
"Level 79. It's just that Mother has been unable to break through and become a Soul Douluo."
Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, looking somewhat worried.
"It's fine. I have a way to help Aunt Shui break through!"
Liu Yanyang said confidently. Once Old Monster finished absorbing the immortal-grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, he would also break through to Level 80.
Then they could bring Old Poison along and find an exceptional eighth Soul Ring for the two of them.
P.S. There's only one chapter today. The author is about to start summer vacation, and there have been a few too many group dinners. My apologies to the Esteemed Readers.
There will still be three chapters tomorrow!
