Watching this outdated mechanical contraption...
Tang San felt certain he had this in the bag.
"Arrow of Death!"
Yu Xiaolong didn't stop to think.
He used his first Soul Skill on Tang San for the first time.
His first Soul Skill.
A Soul Skill bestowed by the Twelve Star Dragons' Sagittarius Star Dragon.
And it drew on the power of a Sagittarius Star Dragon with a hundred-thousand-year cultivation!
Its explosive power...
Could only be imagined.
"Here it comes!"
"Too bad it's too slow!"
Tang San possessed the Purple Demon Eye.
The Arrow of Death was fast.
But it couldn't escape my perception!
Heh heh!
The corners of Tang San's mouth lifted.
He flipped into the air.
However...
The next second...
The unexpected happened.
The Arrow of Death...
Was a golden arrow.
Whoosh!
Thud!
The scene of him dodging out of the way never came to pass.
Yu Xiaogang heard only a muffled groan.
The next second...
Tang San's body...
Flew a hundred meters away like a kite with its strings cut.
"Xiao San!?"
Yu Xiaogang came to his senses.
He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Then hurried over to find his disciple.
"Teacher!?" Shui Yue'er looked surprised.
She had been prepared for this.
The other man was only a Soul Elder.
Naturally, he was no match for her teacher.
But... that Soul Skill of his just now...
What was it?
How could it be so dazzling?
"Yu Xiaolong, how dare you!?"
"Who gave you the right to hurt Xiao San like this!?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened.
He held Tang San in his arms, crouching on the ground.
Then pointed two fingers at Yu Xiaolong, who stood before him, looking down at them.
Yu Xiaolong watched Tang San lying on the ground.
Blood kept pouring from his mouth.
As if it cost him nothing.
"T-teacher..."
He had barely started speaking...
When blood gushed out of his mouth, like he'd swallowed a huge mouthful of water and couldn't get it down.
Tang San's eyes weakly fixed on Yu Xiaolong.
As if he wanted to remember his face.
His vision suddenly went black.
"Yu Xiaolong, do you even know who Xiao San is!?"
"You killed Xiao San. I'll never let you get away with this!"
Yu Xiaogang flew into a rage.
He recovered from his shock.
Then, furious and humiliated, he snarled, "I don't care what kind of evil sorcery you used. You killed Xiao San, so you're not getting out of this alive!"
Yu Xiaogang was hopping mad.
Yu Xiaolong couldn't even be bothered to look at Gangzi.
He summoned Luo Sanpao.
Luo Sanpao lifted him into the air.
Slowly, he rose high above the ground.
The sight...
Shocked Gangzi all over again.
How could Yu Xiaolong's Martial Soul let him fly!?
"Master the skies, and the earth shall bow at my feet!"
It was the same line as before.
Yu Xiaolong's voice echoed throughout the forest.
Then...
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yu Xiaolong carried himself with utter arrogance.
On the ground...
Yu Xiaogang stamped his foot in fury.
"Yu Xiaolong, get back here! I'll destroy you, no matter the cost!"
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists.
The veins at his temples bulged.
"Teacher..."
Shui Bing'er moved lightly.
She followed after him.
"Teacher."
"Uncle just chased after us."
Shui Bing'er couldn't help speaking up.
Yu Xiaolong landed.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he said, "No, Bing'er."
As he spoke...
He turned around.
Shui Bing'er looked up at the teacher she respected.
"He isn't your uncle."
"From now on, when you see him, you don't need to treat the weak as people."
Yu Xiaolong said, "Understood?"
"Oh, understood, Teacher."
Shui Bing'er nodded.
She didn't argue.
Yu Xiaolong gave her a long look.
He knew this kind of thinking...
Was too harsh for someone as kind-hearted as Shui Bing'er.
A few days later...
Skywater Academy.
"Big Sis, I wanna go, I wanna go!"
"Take me with you, pleeease~"
A young girl's coquettish voice rang out in the courtyard.
The girl wore twin ponytails.
She was dressed in a little Lolita-style skirt.
Clutching Shui Bing'er's hand, she shook it back and forth.
Shui Bing'er looked at her sister and shook her head helplessly. "Don't go, Yue'er. You haven't taken my teacher as your master."
"Hmph! I'd never take someone who's only in their forties as my master!"
Shui Yue'er huffed.
She had no intention of taking that old man as her master!
She was just curious about how that old man taught her sister...
"If you insist on going, I'll be upset."
Shui Bing'er didn't know what to do with her sister.
She spoke sternly.
"Hmph! Fine, I won't go!"
Seeing how firm her sister was...
Shui Yue'er pouted.
She tapped one finger against the other.
A look of grievance crossed her face.
Once her sister had left...
Shui Yue'er raised her head.
Her eyes darted about.
Then she secretly followed her.
Shui Bing'er didn't notice any of this.
The back hill of Skywater Academy.
Yu Xiaolong wore a spare black change of clothes.
He looked like a martial arts instructor from a traditional Chinese martial arts school.
His hair was cut short.
"Teacher."
"You're here?"
Hearing the girl's voice...
Yu Xiaolong turned around.
Shui Bing'er wore a short blue skirt.
Her long, fair legs were exposed.
They were straight and slender.
"Mm. Let's begin today's special training."
During their break...
Shui Bing'er asked curiously, "Teacher, what level are you now?"
Yu Xiaolong answered frankly, "I'm at the same level as you, a level 43 Soul Ancestor."
"What!? You're only level 43, and you dared to take my sister as your disciple!?"
Shui Bing'er didn't react.
Behind the wall, Shui Yue'er...
But she instantly grew so anxious that she nearly jumped out of her skin.
Level 43.
Only two levels higher than me.
And he actually lied to my sister!
That's so despicable!
I'm definitely telling the teacher about this!
At the thought,
Shui Yue'er pouted.
She immediately left the scene.
Without anyone noticing.
"Teacher, tomorrow is the Imperial Fighting Academy's annual exchange day."
"Are you going?"
Shui Bing'er asked.
"The Imperial Fighting Academy?"
"Mm. Let's go!"
Yu Xiaolong was taken aback.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Across the entire Heaven Dou Empire,
its strength was nothing to scoff at.
In the original timeline,
if they hadn't encountered Tang San,
the Imperial Fighting Team wouldn't have been defeated in a little backwater city like Suotuo City!
"Teacher, please have some tea."
During their break,
the two sat beneath the shade of a tree.
Shui Bing'er brewed tea for Yu Xiaolong.
She brought it to her teacher with her own hands.
"Mm. There are quite a few people your age on the Imperial Fighting Team who'll be formidable rivals. When we get there, you can learn from them."
"But you don't need to be overly modest. You have Twin Martial Souls, especially that unusual Aquarius Star Dragon Martial Soul. If you put it to good use..."
"In a one-on-one fight, there aren't many people in the Heaven Dou Empire who could beat you."
Yu Xiaolong said.
Hearing her teacher's words,
she could tell he had great faith in her.
Shui Bing'er was happy, too.
"Teacher, I'll work hard."
I can't let my teacher down.
I have to work hard these next few days!
At the thought,
Shui Bing'er's hand tightened unconsciously.
She was determined to work hard in the days ahead,
and do her best to give her teacher a perfect answer sheet.
A few days later.
"Didn't Skywater Academy send you with the others from the academy?"
He had just stepped out of his dormitory
when he looked up and saw Shui Bing'er in a brand-new outfit,
waiting for him at the door.
He went back into his room
and let Shui Bing'er inside.
