Xue Tianyu's Terrifying Talent Shocks Skywater Academy!

Shui Xinrou rubbed her throbbing temples and let out a deep sigh.

"The Heaven Dou Royal Team will be arriving at the academy for a friendly match very soon."

"Bing'er and the others went to the Far North to hunt soul beasts; by all accounts, they should have been back long ago. Why is there still no sign of them?"

If Shui Bing'er, the absolute core of the team, were absent, Skywater Academy's chances of winning this exchange match would be greatly diminished.

Just as she was burning with anxiety, the office door was gently knocked upon.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of footsteps, Shui Bing'er was the first to push the door open and walk in.

"Dean, we have returned."

Following closely behind her was the team instructor, Shui Lanxin.

And flanking her on either side were Xue Tianyu and the Ice Emperor.

Shui Xinrou's gaze instantly bypassed the others and locked firmly onto Xue Tianyu, who was walking in the middle.

Seeing this completely unfamiliar youth, she could not help but be slightly stunned.

What a handsome young man!

Those near-flawless features, paired with a moon-white long robe, made him look exactly like an peerless young master who had stepped out of a painting.

What shocked her even more was the unique aura radiating from the boy.

It was the aura of a powerhouse who had long held a position of authority and looked upon everything in the world with indifference.

Such a profound presence should not exist in a teenager.

Just as Shui Xinrou was sizing up Xue Tianyu.

Xue Tianyu's deep gaze was also unceremoniously sweeping up and down over the beautiful Dean before him.

His line of sight traveled from her delicate and dignified face all the way down.

It swept past her slender, willow-like waist and finally landed on those black-silk-clad legs that invited endless imagination.

Being scrutinized by a youth with such an unabashed gaze.

A flush of red instantly rose to Shui Xinrou's fair cheeks, and a surge of annoyance at being offended welled up in her heart.

She gave a light cough, suppressing her displeasure, and turned her stern gaze toward Shui Lanxin.

"Lanxin, what exactly is going on here?"

Shui Lanxin's expression stiffened; she opened her mouth but dared not utter a rebuttal.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er quickly stepped forward, taking the responsibility upon herself.

"Dean, please don't blame the teacher; it was I who insisted on bringing him back."

"We encountered a life-or-death crisis in the Far North, and it was he who stepped in to save everyone."

"Moreover, his talent is truly extraordinary. If he could join our academy..."

Before Shui Bing'er could finish her sentence, Shui Xinrou interrupted her with a cold face.

She sighed softly, her tone filled with an unchangeable resolve.

"Bing'er, you are usually quite sensible. Why are you following along with this nonsense today?"

"Skywater Academy has never accepted male students; this is an ironclad rule established since the founding of the school."

"Over the years, I don't know how many exceptionally gifted young geniuses across the continent have broken down our doors begging to study here."

"But the academy has never broken the rules to admit a male student for anyone."

"Rules are rules. Whether they are geniuses or mediocrities, no one is allowed to violate them."

Hearing this, the Ice Emperor, who had been sulking on the side, was immediately displeased.

She crossed her arms over her chest and let out a sneer full of mockery.

"What kind of bullshit geniuses."

"Those rotten sweet potatoes and stinking eggs outside, are they even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Tianyu?"

"They aren't even qualified to carry Tianyu's shoes!"

As these incredibly arrogant words were spoken, the air in the entire office instantly froze to the freezing point.

A tall female guard captain who had been standing quietly behind Shui Xinrou erupted in fury.

"Insolent!"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Dean! You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Boom!

An extremely powerful wave of soul power burst forth from the female guard captain's body.

The terrifying momentum of a level 60 Soul King pressed down upon the Ice Emperor and Xue Tianyu like a massive mountain.

Without any hesitation, the female guard captain flashed, transforming into a sharp afterimage.

She raised her palm, striking directly toward the Ice Emperor.

It was clear she intended to strike on the spot, intending to teach this ignorant, impudent girl a harsh lesson.

Feeling the ferocity of that incoming attack, Shui Bing'er and Shui Lanxin were struck with terror.

"Stop, quickly!"

They shouted as they tried to rush forward to intervene, but the speed of a level 60 Spirit King was simply too fast; there was no time to save her.

A dangerous glint flashed in the depths of the Ice Emperor's eyes.

She was just about to mobilize the spirit power sealed within her body to blast this ant who dared to attack her into dust.

Yet, a slender figure moved even faster than her.

Xue Tianyu exerted a slight force under his feet, instantly placing himself as a barrier in front of the Ice Emperor.

He did not even spare the aggressive female captain a glance, merely raising his right hand in a casual motion.

Bang!

A dull, heavy sound of impact exploded within the office.

The female captain's strike, brimming with level 60 spirit power, was caught by Xue Tianyu with a single hand, as if it were nothing more than a trifle.

The massive recoil forced the female captain to retreat several steps.

Immediately following, a spirit power pressure, far more terrifying and violent than the captain's own, surged into the sky from within Xue Tianyu's body.

Hum—

Five pitch-black, ten-thousand-year spirit rings rose slowly from beneath his feet like five black suns.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!

The vast aura of level 58 spirit power instantly swept through the entire spacious room.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned, their minds plunging into a state of absolute blankness.

The female captain's eyes widened like copper bells, her mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

How is this possible?

Her own full-force strike, as a dignified level 60 Spirit King, had been steadily blocked by a brat who looked only eleven or twelve years old?

When she saw the spirit rings pulsing at his feet clearly, her heart nearly stopped beating.

This brat actually possessed level 58 spirit power!

What was most fatal was the question of what exactly those five pitch-black, terrifyingly oppressive ten-thousand-year spirit rings were all about?!

Although Shui Lanxin and the girls of Skywater Academy had long known that Xue Tianyu was strong.

Seeing him withstand the attack of a level 60 Spirit King without the slightest pressure still left them so shocked their scalps tingled.

Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes were fixed on that tall, straight back blocking the way in front of her.

An unprecedented sense of immense security surged into her heart, causing her heartbeat to accelerate uncontrollably.

The thump-thump-thump sound echoed constantly in her ears, and her fair cheeks were once again dyed with a vibrant, charming blush.

Shui Xinrou, behind the office desk, was so shocked that she stood up directly from her leather chair.

Her long, beautiful legs, wrapped in black silk, trembled slightly, her eyes filled with unconcealable horror.

Following that came an irrepressible sense of fanaticism and excitement.

Heavens!

An eleven or twelve-year-old Spirit King!

And a heaven-defying configuration consisting entirely of ten-thousand-year spirit rings!

With such terrifying talent, let alone the current continent.

Even if one were to scour the entire history of the spirit master world, it would be impossible to find a second existence as heaven-defying as this.

I fear that even Tang Hao, who was once hailed as the youngest Titled Douluo, or that Pope Bibi Dong of Martial Soul Hall.

In their youth, they were far inferior to this dazzling young man before her eyes!
