Reminding Feng Xiaotian, Skywater Academy Arrives

Meanwhile, the auction continued, though the items that followed held no interest for Ling Yun and his companions.

It was not until some time later that Selina brought out an item that caught their attention: a ring inlaid with a multicolored diamond.

The moment the diamond ring appeared, the surrounding space rippled slightly. Without a doubt, this was a Soul Tool!

Selina introduced it accordingly: "Everyone, please take a look. This is a Soul Tool called the Five-Colored Dazzling Light Ring. It contains twenty cubic meters of storage space, and its design is exquisite, featuring fine craftsmanship.

Whether used for storing items or simply for collection, it is a rare work of art. The starting bid is one thousand Gold Soul Coin. Let the bidding begin!"

"Little Brother Ling Yun, this ring is quite nice; it would suit you perfectly."

Before Ling Yun could answer, Huo Wu shouted, "I bid one thousand five hundred Gold Soul Coin!"

"One thousand six!"

"One thousand eight..."

Following Huo Wu's bid, other soul masters began to join in, though there were few takers; after all, the storage space of the Five-Colored Dazzling Light Ring was quite small.

Spending several thousand Gold Soul Coin for a mere twenty cubic meters of space was clearly not a cost-effective deal.

In the end, the Five-Colored Dazzling Light Ring fell into Huo Wu's hands for three thousand Gold Soul Coin, and she immediately gifted it to Ling Yun.

"Take it, Ling Yun. From now on, this ring is yours."

"Hehe, thank you, Sister Huo Wu."

Ling Yun chuckled, took the Five-Colored Dazzling Light Ring, and slipped it onto his finger. It had to be said, the multicolored, shimmering ring was quite beautiful.

"Don't mention it. You are worth dozens, if not hundreds, of times more than this ring," Huo Wu said with a smile, turning her attention to the next auction item.

However, the starting bids for the subsequent items grew increasingly high, and Huo Wu and the others did not make any more moves, content to simply watch the spectacle.

The finale of the auction was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, with a starting bid as high as two million Gold Soul Coin, which left Huo Wu heart-stricken with shock.

Two million Gold Soul Coin—let alone her, even her father could not produce such a sum.

After the auction concluded, the crowd dispersed. Huo Wu rented a carriage to return to Blazing Academy.

As for Feng Xiaotian, he was not part of Blazing Academy, so he simply stayed the night at a hotel in Heaven Dou City, planning to return to Godwind Academy the next day.

Before heading back to Blazing Academy, Ling Yun sought out Feng Xiaotian and, feigning curiosity, asked, "Senior Feng, I heard from the Dean that you, like me, are a soul master with Innate Full Soul Power.

But I am curious, you are already twenty-two years old, so why is your soul power only at level forty-one?

If you truly possess Innate Full Soul Power, you should be at least a five-ring Soul King by now!"

"Hehe, you don't know about this, do you?" Feng Xiaotian said lightheartedly. "I have been practicing a Self-Created Soul Skill called the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf, and its power is terrifying!

With this move, I easily defeated Python before, and you should know he is a level forty-four Soul Ancestor.

It's just that developing a Self-Created Soul Skill requires a significant amount of time, so I've had to sacrifice some of my cultivation time to practice it."

"But Senior Feng, soul power is the foundation of a soul master, isn't it?"

Ling Yun reminded him. He did not want to see Feng Xiaotian go down the wrong path; they had known each other for two years, and their relationship was decent.

Furthermore, the Three Elements Academies stood together; if Feng Xiaotian became stronger, it would benefit him as well. Not to mention, with Feng Xiaotian's talent, reaching the level of a Title Douluo was practically a certainty.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun added, "As long as you raise your cultivation, Senior Feng, you will naturally become stronger, won't you?

Besides, as far as I know, once a soul master reaches the realm of a Title Douluo, they gain a lifespan of three hundred years.

Once you become a Title Douluo, your understanding of the wind element will continue to deepen. At that time, you will naturally have the time to develop even more powerful Self-Created Soul Skills. Why sacrifice your precious cultivation time now?

If you fail to become a Title Douluo, what meaning would your Self-Created Soul Skill have?"

"..."

Feng Xiaotian froze. He had never really considered these things before, but hearing Ling Yun put it this way, he felt there was some truth to it.

"So, Little Brother Ling Yun, what you mean is..."

"I think you should devote all your time to cultivation, Senior Feng. Once you become a Title Douluo, then you can develop your own Self-Created Soul Skills.

We both possess Innate Full Soul Power; we shouldn't waste the talent heaven has given us."

Hearing this, Feng Xiaotian nodded slightly and smiled. "I understand. I will devote my time to cultivation. Thank you for the reminder, Little Brother Ling Yun!"

"Don't mention it. You've always looked out for me, Senior Feng. I'll head back now; I won't disturb your rest."

After reminding Feng Xiaotian, Ling Yun found Huo Wu and her brother, and the three returned to Blazing Academy together.

Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these short three months, Ling Yun spent most of his time cultivating on Fire Cloud Mountain. As a result, his soul power successfully broke through to level thirty-four.

In addition, Ling Yun constantly pored over the Immortal Herb Illustrated Guide, learning about many immortal herbs and top-tier medicinal plants; he could now recite the entire book from memory.

In his spare time, Ling Yun occasionally participated in matches at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena. The label of a young Soul Elder with a thousand-year second soul ring brought him immense popularity for a time.

Now that three months had passed, the soul master exchange tournament between the Three Elements Academies arrived as scheduled.

This year's tournament was held at Blazing Academy. Early in the morning, Ling Yun saw Feng Xiaotian leading the soul masters of Godwind Academy to the school, where he proceeded to hover around Huo Wu like a persistent plaster, much to her annoyance.

It is worth mentioning that Feng Xiaotian had taken his advice to heart; he had been cultivating diligently during this period, and his cultivation had reached the peak of level forty-two, on the verge of breaking through to level forty-three.

This was the cultivation speed that Innate Full Soul Power should possess!

Upon seeing Ling Yun, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but express his gratitude: "Little Brother Ling Yun, thank you for the reminder. My cultivation has now reached level forty-two."

"Hehe, congratulations, Senior Feng." Ling Yun chuckled softly.

At the same time, the sound of galloping carriages rang out, accompanied by the chirping laughter of young women.

Following the sound, the two saw several carriages slowly approaching, from which a group of young, beautiful female soul masters with fair skin and long legs stepped out.

"The people from Skywater Academy have arrived."

Feng Xiaotian said with a calm expression. Although the female soul masters of Skywater Academy were all very beautiful, in his heart, Huo Wu would always be the most stunning.

Ling Yun, however, looked toward the captain of Skywater Academy. She was a young girl with long, water-blue hair, regular features, and skin as white as snow. Judging by her age, she didn't seem much older than him.

She possessed a tall, slender figure and was a graceful young woman, her elegant frame wrapped in an ice-blue dress.

Seeing this girl, Ling Yun couldn't help but think: So this must be Shui Bing'er? She is quite beautiful, truly the woman who beat Tang San into a state of self-doubt.
