There Is Only One Shui Bing'er in the Entire Continent

Before Yu Luomian could speak, that old geezer Huyan Zhen slammed the table and roared, "Han Ningshuang, your Skywater Academy is arrogant enough! Facing two seniors like us, how dare you speak with such insolence?"

Han Ningshuang remained unhurried, looking toward Huyan Zhen: "No matter how arrogant, we aren't as arrogant as your two sects, are we? In broad daylight, you barge into another academy and seize the seats of leadership. Is this the conduct of the continent's top sects?"

Shui Yue'er rolled her eyes from the side, thinking this old ape was truly disgusting.

Seniors?

Heh!

She saw nothing but an old hooligan!

Such shameless behavior was likely rare across the entire continent.

Shui Bing'er and Li Jiuxuan also sneered inwardly; these people had truly perfected the art of hypocrisy!

"Hmph, I think you're looking for..."

Huyan Zhen was instantly incensed and rose to confront Han Ningshuang.

But Yu Luomian waved a hand to interrupt him, taking over the conversation: "Sigh, Vice Dean Han, that is where you are mistaken. We came today for a friendly exchange with Skywater Academy. Our students heard that your students all possess extraordinary talent, so they wished to come and learn a thing or two. That is why Sect Master Huyan and I led this group of inexperienced youths to witness the grace of your Skywater children."

"If you wish to test the strength of our disciples, then as always, we shall arrange three students of similar age for a match!"

"That is only natural; a match must certainly take place. However..."

"However what?"

"We must set a wager. If your Skywater Academy loses, you must return the disciple of our Thunder Academy!"

As these words fell, everyone from Skywater Academy present felt their teeth itch with hatred.

How could a hooligan speak with such a righteous tone?

It was as if Skywater had truly imprisoned a disciple of the Thunder Academy.

But... what could they do?

This was a demand made by an eighty-ninth-level Title Douluo.

Beyond anger, they felt a profound sense of powerlessness!

The kind are bullied, the weak are trampled!

Such is the law of the world...

"I have said it before, Skywater Academy does not have your Thunder Academy's disciple!" Han Ningshuang emphasized once more.

Yu Luomian raised a hand, smiling as he interrupted: "Don't speak so definitively, Vice Dean Han. You wouldn't want to see our two academies truly come into conflict, would you?"

He tilted his head, glancing sideways at the few Soul Saints beside Han Ningshuang: "After all, seven mere Soul Saints cannot even handle one Soul Douluo, let alone two, both of whom are at the eighty-ninth level..."

Han Ningshuang gritted her teeth instantly, her chest heaving with rage!

What a fine Lightning Overlord Dragon family!

What a fine Elephant Armor Sect!

They appear bright and glorious on the surface, but in reality, they are the most adept at bullying the weak!

"Vice Dean, let us fight. I will go!"

At this moment, Shui Bing'er spoke up from the side; she knew the situation forced their hand, and there was no other way!

"You will go?"

Han Ningshuang looked at Shui Bing'er, hesitating.

Even if they fought and won, would these bandits truly let it go?

Impossible!

"Accept the challenge first. We must stall for time; we cannot simply watch as they take Jiuxuan away!" Shui Bing'er's gaze was cold; though she was furious, she remained rational.

"I will go too. For the sake of Xiao Jiuxuan, I will surely win!"

Shui Yue'er also spoke up. She had been stomping her feet in anger; how could they allow such bullying to continue?

"Very well, then we shall fight. As for the third candidate..."

Han Ningshuang's eyes scanned outside the hall; she wanted to find the vice-captain of the Skywater representative team, Xue Wu!

Given the circumstances, they had to accept. It wasn't just about protecting Li Jiuxuan; these two sects had long coveted Skywater. This was a trial shared by both Li Jiuxuan and the academy!

"I will go!"

Li Jiuxuan volunteered at this moment.

He had long despised these two sects and knew this was merely a hypocritical excuse, but whether he was taken away or stayed, he would beat their students up first!

Besides, since the trouble stemmed from him, he ought to contribute!

"Good!"

Han Ningshuang no longer hesitated and directly proposed the three young students representing Skywater Academy to Yu Luomian.

Upon hearing that Li Jiuxuan would also fight, Yu Luomian raised an eyebrow: "Courageous, indeed. However, the students I brought from Thunder Academy are none of them six years old, and the lowest among them is at the twenty-fifth Soul Power Level."

This batch of disciples were the most talented outside of the two direct descendants of the sect. Even though Li Jiuxuan possessed Innate Full Soul Power, the gap in their Soul Power Levels was simply too vast.

Moreover...

Is he a top-tier beast martial soul? Who isn't?

Currently, the number one beast martial soul under heaven is still the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon!

"Then let that person take the field!"

Li Jiuxuan was unafraid; a mere seven-level soul power gap was not enough to make him bow his head!

He maintained an attitude of standing tall even in death.

"Good, good, good. Very well, since you insist on fighting, I shall satisfy you." Yu Luomian snapped his fingers, and three people stepped forward.

Li Jiuxuan's participation was beyond reproach.

Firstly, it allowed them to witness the strength of the Ice Dragon King martial soul firsthand, and secondly, this was a predetermined victory.

No matter how formidable a martial soul might be, he was still just a child who had only recently awakened it.

He had no time to grow!

How could he possibly defeat a powerful two-ring Soul Grand Master?

"Then, I invite everyone to leave the main courtyard and head to the Grand Arena!"

The crowd moved in a vast procession, gathering at the outer hall.

On both sides of the grand arena stood the members of Skywater Academy and the forces of Thunder Academy.

"I'll take the first match!"

A disciple from Thunder Academy leaped onto the arena and said flippantly, "My name is Yu Shengxiong, twelve years old, a level thirty-one assault-system battle Soul Elder!"

Shui Bing'er leaped onto the arena with indifference, failing to offer the respectful salute to her opponent as she usually did: "Skywater Academy, Shui Bing'er, level thirty-three control-system battle Soul Elder!"

"Boom!"

Martial souls manifested!

The battle between the two began in an instant.

Though they called it a spar, every move was lethal!

"Tell me, Elder Luomian, I feel that the first disciple you sent out doesn't seem to pose any threat to that Shui Bing'er!"

Below the stage, Huyan Zhen watched as Shui Bing'er suppressed the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan genius the moment the battle began.

"Yu Shengxiong is already the most talented disciple in the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan, aside from Tianxin and Tianheng."

Sitting nearby, Yu Luomian didn't care in the slightest: "This Shui Bing'er possesses the ultimate beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, and was born with level nine soul power. Her talent is no weaker than Tianheng or Tianxin; she is among the most outstanding of the younger generation on the continent. It is perfectly normal that he cannot defeat her."

"Then this..."

"Rest assured, Skywater Academy only has one Shui Bing'er, and in this entire continent, there is only one Shui Bing'er..." Yu Luomian sneered with extreme contempt.

Huyan Zhen understood. With Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng absent, Yu Luomian never intended to win the first match anyway.

Aside from Shui Bing'er, he didn't hold the other Skywater disciples in any regard at all.

And as for that Li Jiuxuan, he was still too young.

"However, this Shui Bing'er truly has skin like ice and bones of jade, a stunning talent. If she were to marry my grandson Huyan Li, they would be a perfect match..."
