As if worried that Yu Shuangbai might change his mind.
Shui Rou'er hurriedly took a gold card out of her Soul Tool.
"There are thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins in here, which can be withdrawn at any bank."
"The White Lurking Fish-Wolf is of excellent quality and extremely rare; the extra ten thousand Gold Soul Coins shall be our token of gratitude."
Yu Shuangbai did not act coy or refuse.
He reached out and took the gold card from Shui Rou'er's hand.
He knew that the members of Skywater Academy were not getting the short end of the stick.
Nor was he worried that Shui Rou'er was trying to scam him with a fake card.
There was no need.
As the dean of Skywater Academy, one of the top Soul Master Academies in the Heaven Dou Empire, she had no reason to do something so beneath her.
Did she really think every Soul Master Academy was as destitute as Shrek Academy, and every dean as shameless as that Flender?
Putting the gold card away, Yu Shuangbai waved his hand slightly.
The Ice Rose wrapped around the White Lurking Fish-Wolf slowly faded away.
"Thud!"
A dull sound echoed out.
The White Lurking Fish-Wolf collapsed powerlessly onto the ice.
Its entire body was covered in wounds carved out by the Ice Rose petals.
Blood continued to gush out in a steady stream.
Even without the constraints of the Ice Rose, the White Lurking Fish-Wolf no longer had the strength to stand due to the massive blood loss.
It lay paralyzed on the ice field like a pile of mud, its breathing faint.
What ruthless methods!
Witnessing the current state of the White Lurking Fish-Wolf, Shui Rou'er felt a jolt of shock in her heart.
Before this, she had only seen the scene where Yu Shuangbai bound the White Lurking Fish-Wolf with the Ice Rose.
She had assumed the small amount of blood flowing down was merely caused by the beast struggling during the binding process.
But now, it was clear that was not the case at all.
Those dense, countless wounds proved that hidden beneath the beautiful Ice Rose lay lethal danger!
However, Shui Rou'er was not some greenhorn fresh out of the gate.
As someone who had spent most of her life in the Soul Master world, these scenes were not enough to make her lose her composure.
Withdrawing her gaze, Shui Rou'er said to Shui Yue'er behind her:
"Yue'er, do it."
"Mm."
Shui Yue'er nodded, raised her hand to summon an ice shard, and pierced it into the neck of the White Lurking Fish-Wolf.
Having lost ninety-nine percent of its strength, the White Lurking Fish-Wolf had no ability to break free.
A magnificent purple soul ring slowly emerged from the corpse of the White Lurking Fish-Wolf lying on the ground.
This was the outer edge of the Far North.
Generally, overly powerful soul beasts would not appear here.
With Shui Rou'er, a Soul Saint, acting as a guardian, there was no need to worry about safety.
Therefore, Shui Yue'er simply sat cross-legged on the spot, channeled her soul power, and guided the soul ring into her body.
During the wait, Shui Rou'er took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Yu Shuangbai.
"Many thanks for your generosity, Young Master. May I ask your name?"
This was Shui Rou'er's way of probing.
Generally, in the Soul Master world, one could deduce a lot of information about a person's background from their name.
"Yu Shuangbai."
Yu Shuangbai's reply remained concise.
He did not deliberately fabricate a fake alias.
He had never intended to hide his identity when he left the Far North.
As for whether this would draw the attention of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to him.
Yu Shuangbai was not worried in the slightest.
He was no longer the helpless child whose parents had died, leaving him with no one to rely on.
He stood with the Snow Emperor and the Ice Empress at his back.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was ranked among the Upper Three Sects.
Yu Shuangbai was very clear about the reality.
Nearly half of the reason the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was still able to remain among the Upper Three Sects was due to that Thunder Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen.
The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only this one Title Douluo.
Beyond him, there was not a single other combatant at the Title Douluo level.
If the Thunder Douluo were to fall in the future without any juniors capable of taking his place.
Then it would only be a matter of time before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fell from the Upper Three Sects.
And even that Thunder Douluo.
Was only at the level of a Super Douluo.
Although he could unleash extraordinary combat power with the help of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's secret techniques.
Even if he encountered the Ice Empress, it would likely be a match between equals at best.
In front of an expert at the level of the Snow Emperor, a Limit Douluo, he was not even worth mentioning.
With the Snow Emperor by his side.
Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan knew his identity, they would have no power to force him to do anything.
Therefore, Yu Shuangbai naturally had no need to hide or cover anything up.
"Yu Shuangbai..."
Shui Rou'er whispered the name softly.
Before entering the Far North, Yu Shuangbai had been a disciple at the very bottom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
His fame could not compare at all to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's twin stars, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
Thus, Shui Rou'er had naturally never heard his name.
She was only drawn to the character "Yu."
Yu Shuangbai...
The surname Yu...
Could he be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
In the entire world of soul masters, whenever a top-tier power with the surname Yu was mentioned, almost every soul master would think of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan first.
However, the moment this thought appeared in Shui Rou'er's mind, she immediately dismissed it.
The abilities Yu Shuangbai had just displayed while dealing with the White Lurking Fish-Wolf were absolutely not the abilities of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
That was the power of pure ice elements.
It had no connection whatsoever to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which was famous for its thunderous power.
And there was this stunning woman in a white dress whose depth she could not fathom.
She had to be at least a Soul Douluo or higher.
But there were only a few Soul Douluos in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Shui Rou'er had some impression of every single one of them.
They were all male powerhouses.
There was absolutely no such female Soul Douluo.
Moreover, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan truly had a genius like Yu Shuangbai.
Given their style, there was no reason for them not to let outsiders know.
Had she not seen how exaggeratedly the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan promoted the fame of their twin stars?
Shui Rou'er had also met one of those twin stars, Yu Tianxin, who was currently studying at the Thunder Academy, one of the Four Element Academies.
She could be certain that the strength and talent of the Yu Shuangbai before her were definitely superior to Yu Tianxin's.
Therefore, in just a fleeting moment, Shui Rou'er dismissed the first hypothesis that had risen in her mind.
She felt that Yu Shuangbai's surname was perhaps just a coincidence that happened to match the hereditary surname of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
It was just that when Yu Shuangbai fought the White Lurking Fish-Wolf earlier, the ice-blue dragon horns on his head had not appeared.
Otherwise, Shui Rou'er would not have been so quick to deny the speculation that Yu Shuangbai came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Shui Rou'er did not know.
Her initial guess was actually correct in a certain respect.
After all, although Yu Shuangbai was no longer a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now.
He had indeed originated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Perhaps he was from some reclusive family with the surname Yu.
Shui Rou'er thought to herself.
Beyond the most famous factions on the continent.
There were also many powerful hidden clans.
For instance, the Star Crown Clan of the Star Luo Empire.
Perhaps Yu Shuangbai was the successor of some hidden clan she had never heard of.
This continent was truly mysterious and terrifying!
