Tianshui, a Sea of Beauties!

Shui Xinrou's breathing began to quicken.

If she could recruit such a peerless monster, how could Skywater Academy fail to reach the pinnacle of glory?

This was absolutely a super thigh to hold onto, one capable of leading Skywater Academy to the top of the entire continent!

After the massive shock subsided, Shui Xinrou quickly composed her agitated emotions.

She took a deep breath, smoothing out the slightly ruffled hem of her pencil skirt.

Clicking her heels, she hurried around the desk and walked toward Xue Tianyu.

Her mature and elegant charm was on full display in that moment, every step radiating a lethal allure.

Shui Xinrou stopped in front of Xue Tianyu, took the initiative to extend her fair, delicate hand, and bloomed with an incredibly charming smile.

"My apologies, Young Master Xue."

"I admit that I judged you by your appearance just now; my eyes were blind to your peerless talent."

"Skywater Academy would be honored to welcome you."

Xue Tianyu looked at the soft, delicate hand extended toward him and raised an eyebrow slightly.

He reached out quite naturally and took hold of that warm, jade-like hand.

The delicate sensation against his fingertips was exquisite.

Seeing the Dean personally step forward to extend an invitation, Shui Bing'er and the group of Skywater Academy girls were instantly filled with joy.

But just then, Xue Tianyu unhurriedly released her hand.

He brushed off his sleeves, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"Didn't the Dean just say that Skywater Academy never accepts male students?"

"That is an ironclad rule, after all. How could I dare to let the Dean break such a rule for my sake?"

Hearing these words, a flash of extreme embarrassment crossed Shui Xinrou's face.

The words she had spoken earlier had now turned into a slap directly across her own face.

But in order to keep this once-in-a-generation genius, she had to bite the bullet and try to smooth things over.

"This... while the school rules are rigid, people are flexible."

Xue Tianyu, however, remained unimpressed; he crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head nonchalantly.

"However... after that little scene just now, I suddenly feel like I don't really want to join anymore."

As soon as these words left his lips, the companions behind Shui Bing'er became incredibly nervous.

Their palms were slick with cold sweat.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; they couldn't let this super thigh slip away!

Only Shui Bing'er, with her keen insight, saw right through Xue Tianyu's little game of playing hard to get.

He didn't actually want to leave; he was clearly using this opportunity to squeeze them for benefits!

As the head of the academy, Shui Xinrou was naturally a shrewd person, and she immediately grasped the hidden meaning behind Xue Tianyu's words.

She gritted her teeth in secret and immediately offered an incredibly generous condition.

"Rest assured, Young Master Xue. As long as you are willing to stay."

"Any materials or resources you need for your cultivation, just ask the academy."

"Skywater Academy will exhaust the entire strength of the school to cultivate you!"

Hearing this resolute guarantee, a look of satisfaction finally flashed in the depths of Xue Tianyu's eyes.

He nodded slightly, his tone finally softening.

"Since the Dean is so sincere, I will agree to join the academy."

Watching Xue Tianyu act as if he had gained an advantage while still playing the victim, Shui Xinrou cursed him as a little rascal in her heart.

Yet, the gaze she directed at him couldn't help but hold a trace of appreciation that even she hadn't noticed.

Standing to the side, Shui Bing'er watched their exchange and couldn't help herself.

She covered her mouth and let out a soft, stifled laugh.

A girl with wavy hair nudged Shui Bing'er in the waist with her elbow and teased her in a low voice.

"Sister Bing'er, our benefactor Tianyu is the one getting the benefits, why are you so happy?"

Having her thoughts exposed by her companion, the blush that had just faded from Shui Bing'er's cheeks instantly flared up again, spreading all the way to her ears.

She gave her companion a sharp look and hurriedly turned to take her leave of Shui Xinrou.

"Dean, since Tianyu has officially joined the academy."

"I will take him to familiarize himself with the campus environment."

With that, Shui Bing'er quickly led Xue Tianyu and Ice Emperor away.

They hurried out of the Dean's office as if fleeing.

Leaving Shui Xinrou's dean office, Shui Bing'er led Xue Tianyu and Ice Emperor along a path paved with azure crystals that wound through the academy.

Along the way, Shui Bing'er introduced the various facilities of Skywater Academy with great care.

As the only high-level Soul Master Academy on the continent that exclusively recruited female students, the architectural style here exuded a sense of softness and refinement at every turn.

The groups of female students they passed, seeing a young man walking openly within their ranks, stopped in their tracks and gathered together to whisper amongst themselves.

Xue Tianyu remained calm, his hands clasped behind his back, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

Passing through a grove of ginkgo trees draped in frost, the view suddenly opened up to reveal a massive, hemispherical building covering a vast area.

The entire exterior wall was crafted from deep blue glazed tiles, refracting a dazzling radiance under the sunlight.

"Tianyu, that ahead is our Soul Fighting Arena."

"The members of the Skywater Team usually conduct their daily combat training here."

Shui Bing'er pushed open the heavy refined steel doors and led the two inside.

Within the spacious arena, several tall young women were engaged in a clash of soul power.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the movements on the stage came to an abrupt halt.

"Big sister! You're finally back!"

A crisp, melodious cheer rang out.

Shui Yue'er, sporting short water-green hair, jumped excitedly off the soul fighting stage and sprinted over like a cheerful lark.

Following closely behind her was a silver-haired girl with an incredibly hot figure.

Xue Wu wore a tight-fitting dark training suit that accentuated her full, proud curves, her entire being radiating a wild, youthful vitality.

As the two rushed up to them, the smiles on their faces froze simultaneously.

Their gazes bypassed Shui Bing'er and locked firmly onto the young man in the moon-white robe standing behind her.

Shui Yue'er's large eyes went round in an instant.

So handsome!

Those near-perfect, three-dimensional features, paired with that transcendent and indifferent temperament, possessed a lethal charm for these girls living in the sheltered academy.

Shui Yue'er felt her heart skip a beat, a flush of crimson instantly flying to her fair cheeks, and she completely forgot what she had intended to say.

Xue Wu was also stunned by Xue Tianyu's appearance for a moment.

However, her personality had always been bold and spicy, so she quickly regained her composure and reached out to drape an arm over Shui Bing'er's shoulder.

"Well, well, Bing'er, you go out to hunt soul beasts and end up kidnapping such a pretty little hunk on the way back?"

"Our academy is a forbidden zone; aren't you being a bit too bold? Aren't you afraid the dean will lose her temper?"

Shui Bing'er's face turned slightly red as she hurriedly pulled Xue Wu's hand away.

"Don't talk nonsense; the dean has already given her approval."

"Let me introduce you: this is Xue Tianyu, our savior from our trip to the Far North."

"Starting today, he is an official student of our Skywater Academy."
