Yu Xiaolong took Shui Bing'er to visit Heaven Dou Royal Academy for half a day.
Then they returned.
"By the way, come with me to the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow."
"I'll give you some gifts when we get there."
Yu Xiaolong made sure to remind Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er lowered her head and bowed. "All right, teacher. You should get some rest too."
As she moved, Yu Xiaolong saw the gap in her neckline.
Her skin was smooth and full.
Skywater Academy.
"What!? Is everything you said true!?"
Shui Hao, a teacher at Skywater Academy, sprang to his feet.
Below him, Shui Yue'er muttered.
She blinked. "That's right, that's right, teacher. Sister even took that uncle as her teacher. Now she follows him around every day."
"Hmph!"
"This is outrageous."
"I'd like to see what this so-called Yu Xiaolong is capable of!"
Shui Bing'er was Skywater Academy's favored daughter.
There was no way she could train under someone whose only Martial Soul was a useless Luo Sanpao!
Otherwise, Bing'er's talent for absolute ice would be ruined!
Meanwhile.
Yu Xiaolong was taking Shui Bing'er with him.
They were about to leave the academy.
"Teacher, why aren't we going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Shui Bing'er looked puzzled.
Whenever she went out to hunt Soul Beasts for Soul Rings,
she always went to the forest near Heaven Dou Academy.
As for the Soul Hunting Forest,
it was quite far from here.
She had never been there before.
Yu Xiaolong glanced at her and said calmly, "Bing'er, you'll understand when we get there. A stroke of fortune awaits you."
With that,
the two continued on their way.
Suddenly,
less than ten meters from the academy gate,
a middle-aged man clad in icy robes appeared before them.
Beside him
was a little girl.
Yu Xiaolong stopped.
"Shui Yue'er?"
Shui Bing'er couldn't help calling out.
She looked at her younger sister.
Yu Xiaolong was taken aback.
He knew the unruly little girl too.
As for the person beside her, this was Yu Xiaolong's first time meeting him.
"Bing'er, where are you going?"
Shui Hao asked.
"Teacher..."
Shui Bing'er said, "Teacher Xiaolong and I are going out to train."
Her expression was uneasy.
The man before her was also her teacher.
"Training? Bing'er, you've lost your mind!"
"You just accept anyone who appears out of nowhere as your teacher!?"
Shui Hao had a bad temper.
He spoke with an ugly expression.
"Hmph! Yu Xiaolong!? I know a little about your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Please leave Skywater Academy!"
Shui Hao spoke rudely.
At his words,
Yu Xiaolong didn't get angry. He merely said with pride, "I was just about to take Bing'er away from the academy."
"Can't you understand plain speech?"
"I'm telling you to leave! I raised Bing'er myself. Having me as her teacher is enough!"
"You useless nobody! What qualifications do you have?"
Shui Hao's words were grating.
Shui Bing'er couldn't help saying, "Teacher Shui Hao... please don't talk about my teacher like that."
"Bing'er, he's deceived you too badly!"
Shui Hao froze for a moment.
Then his anger grew.
He had never imagined Shui Bing'er would speak ill of him, her teacher, because of an outsider.
For a moment,
he felt deeply aggrieved.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know anything, Yu Xiaolong. You have nothing but a useless, external Martial Soul like Luo Sanpao!"
"How can you compare with my Martial Soul?"
"I doubt your First Soul Ring can even measure up!"
Shui Hao sneered.
He taunted Yu Xiaolong.
In an instant, he revealed his Soul Rings.
His First Soul Ring!
"First Soul Skill: Ice Seal!"
In an instant,
the air around them
froze.
Watching her teacher show off his power,
Shui Yue'er looked eager.
"Go, teacher! You've got this! Hmph!"
She still resented Yu Xiaolong for spanking her little bottom until it hurt a few days ago.
She wanted her teacher to teach the bad man a lesson!
"Teacher... please stop!"
Shui Bing'er's expression changed.
She truly didn't want her two teachers to fight.
"Bing'er, step back."
Yu Xiaolong rested a hand on Shui Bing'er's shoulder.
Feeling the warmth of Yu Xiaolong's hand,
Shui Bing'er froze.
In the end, she chose to step back.
"A Hundred-Year Soul Ring?"
Yu Xiaolong then took a step toward Shui Hao.
His voice was full of doubt.
His expression was contemptuous.
Shui Hao frowned, brimming with confidence. "It's already quite good. A Soul Beast that's nearly four hundred years old isn't something just anyone can hunt!"
His First Soul Ring
was the ideal configuration.
It was infinitely close to the limit.
But
to Yu Xiaolong,
this was trash!
"Indeed, not everyone can have an excellent First Soul Ring."
Yu Xiaolong nodded.
He agreed with those words.
Seeing Yu Xiaolong agree with him,
Shui Hao couldn't help lifting his proud head.
He thought Yu Xiaolong had backed down.
But
just then,
Yu Xiaolong raised one hand.
"Then today, I'll show you what a truly limit-breaking Soul Ring Configuration looks like!"
With that,
Yu Xiaolong activated his First Soul Ring under Shui Hao's astonished gaze.
"Martial Soul, appear!"
As the words left his mouth,
Yu Xiaolong reached toward the air.
The next moment,
his collar flapped.
The wind howled.
Then,
in his palm,
the phantom of Sagittarius Star Dragon appeared.
A crimson-red Soul Ring
rose from beneath his feet
and rapidly expanded.
Until it was perfectly displayed around his body,
radiating a searing red light.
"This... th-this..."
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!?"
"His First Soul Ring is actually a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!?"
Shui Hao was dumbstruck.
The instant he saw Yu Xiaolong's red Soul Ring burst into view,
his entire body staggered in fright.
His whole face was frozen in shock.
"Hundred thousand years..."
At the same time,
the Shui sisters
were both dumbfounded.
Young Shui Yue'er was so shocked by the spectacle that her little mouth opened into a perfect O.
Shui Bing'er was dumbfounded, too.
She knew her teacher was exceptional.
But she had never imagined—
her teacher's First Soul Ring was actually a hundred-thousand-year ring!
"A hundred thousand years!"
"How is that possible!? The maximum age for a First Soul Ring is only four hundred..."
Shui Hao was dazed.
Yu Xiaolong cut him off. "There's nothing absolute in front of me."
"May I ask, am I qualified now to be Bing'er's teacher?"
"This..."
Faced with Yu Xiaolong's soul-searching question,
Shui Hao was at a complete loss.
His face had gone deathly pale.
Just the First Soul Ring was a hundred thousand years old.
How terrifying would the years of the rings that came after it be?
"Hmph!"
Seeing Shui Hao frozen in shock,
Yu Xiaolong looked at him with scorn.
He summoned Luo Sanpao,
giving himself the ability to fly.
Whoosh!
Then,
Yu Xiaolong rose into the sky.
His figure grew smaller and smaller
in the three of their sight.
"Rule the skies!"
"The earth will grovel beneath my feet!"
Yu Xiaolong's voice
echoed across the skies above Skywater Academy.
It instantly struck fear into Shui Hao, a Soul Saint-level powerhouse,
making his pupils contract.
