At the entrance of the Skywater Academy.

Shui Yue'er watched as Shui Bing'er pulled Yu Tianchen toward her, her beautiful eyes immediately filled with curiosity.

When she saw Yu Tianchen's handsome face, she seemed to realize something, and her eyes lit up.

"Bing'er, who is this?"

Before Shui Bing'er could introduce him, she asked with a teasing tone.

"Sister, what are you thinking about again?"

Shui Bing'er caught the teasing tone in Shui Yue'er's voice, and her delicate face flushed slightly as she introduced him to her sister:

"This is Yu Tianchen, the one I told you about, the person I met two years ago when Father and I went to hunt for my first soul ring."

"Oh! Is this the one you've been talking about ever since you came back?"

"Who has been talking about him!"

Shui Bing'er was already showing signs of blushing.

Watching her sister on the verge of losing her composure, Shui Yue'er giggled and then looked at Yu Tianchen:

"Hello, Yu Tianchen, I'm Shui Bing'er's sister, Shui Yue'er."

"Is your first soul ring really a thousand-year one? I've been hearing my sister talk about this for a long time."

"It was a bit of luck, just a fluke."

Yu Tianchen smiled, not wanting to dwell too much on the matter.

Seeing this, Shui Yue'er wanted to ask more, but Shui Bing'er stepped forward and pushed her toward the inside of the academy.

"Alright, Sister, didn't you want to take a tour of the academy? Let's go!"

"Fine, fine, I won't ask, I won't ask~ Honestly, you forget your sister the moment you find a guy..."

"Sister!"

Watching the sisters bickering, Yu Tianchen shook his head with a smile and followed them inside.

The Skywater Academy, as one of the Four Elements Academies of the Heaven Dou Empire, was quite famous.

It was not only the only high-level Soul Master Academy among the four that was open to commoners.

It was also an academy where the entire student body was female.

And they didn't accept anyone who wasn't good-looking.

To say that Yu Tianchen wasn't interested in the academy would be pure nonsense.

Just kidding.

Who wouldn't want to take a stroll through an academy full of beauties?

Even if he couldn't attend school here.

Being able to come in for a look and feast his eyes was still quite nice.

The three of them chatted and laughed all the way, soon arriving at a place that looked like a training ground.

"Look over there!"

Shui Yue'er, with her sharp eyes, spotted something and pointed to a platform not far away.

"People are sparring over there!"

Shui Bing'er and Yu Tianchen looked over upon hearing this.

Sure enough, on a small platform in the distance.

Four pretty girls were facing off against each other.

There were also quite a few students below the stage cheering for the four of them.

Yu Tianchen and the two sisters curiously walked over to watch the battle.

"They look like they're only thirteen or fourteen, right? They're actually all Soul Elder! How amazing!"

Shui Yue'er's eyes sparkled as she watched the battle on the stage.

"I wonder if I can reach the Soul Elder realm at their age."

"You definitely can, Sister, you have to have fighting spirit!"

Shui Bing'er cheered Shui Yue'er on from the side.

"That's right, a person must have dreams, otherwise, what's the difference between them and a salted fish?"

Yu Tianchen also said with a smile.

"Well said!"

Encouraged by the two of them, Shui Yue'er felt full of motivation.

"I will definitely break through to level thirty before I'm fifteen!"

As she said this, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Yu Tianchen:

"By the way, speaking of which, what level are you at now, Yu Tianchen?"

"Given your talent, you should already be a two-ring Soul Grand Master by now, right!"

"Hmm, it's mostly thanks to the benefits brought by my first soul ring."

Yu Tianchen thought for a moment, but ultimately decided not to reveal his exact level.

Shui Yue'er had just ignited a bit of fighting spirit; it wouldn't be good to crush it all at once.

He couldn't very well have her striving to break through to level thirty before the age of fifteen, while he, an eight-year-old, stood there saying he was about to hit level thirty himself.

That would be a bit too hurtful.

Seeing that Yu Tianchen did not explicitly state his level, Shui Bing'er blinked in approval.

It was a good thing Yu Tianchen didn't specify his level.

Otherwise, her sister would likely have been depressed for quite a while.

An eight-year-old level 27 Soul Grand Master.

Even Shui Bing'er would have felt discouraged hearing that, let alone Shui Yue'er, whose talent was not as great as hers.

"Truly amazing..."

Although Yu Tianchen did not reveal his level, Shui Yue'er still couldn't help but marvel at his talent.

"If I remember correctly, you should be about the same age as Bing'er, right?"

"An eight-year-old Soul Grand Master—don't you find it hard to sleep at night, being kept awake by the sheer brilliance of your own talent?"

The conversation between the three also attracted the attention of several nearby students from Skywater Academy.

When they saw Yu Tianchen, their eyes all lit up.

Yu Tianchen's looks were quite striking, and in Skywater Academy—a place where one rarely saw a man all year round—he was like a little lamb wandering into a pack of wolves.

Several girls, all possessing great figures and looks, and quite outgoing by nature, immediately crowded around him.

"What a handsome little brother!"

"You're only eight? To think you're already a Soul Grand Master, how impressive!"

"Wow! Such firm muscles, he even has abs!"

The three were caught off guard by the senior students who had suddenly surrounded them.

Especially Yu Tianchen.

He felt so awkward he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Hey! You all... stop crowding!"

Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er tried to rescue Yu Tianchen.

But no matter how hard they pushed, they couldn't break into the circle formed by the young women.

"Hey! You lot!"

Just then, a stern voice rang out from the other side.

The moment this voice sounded, the female students who had been surrounding Yu Tianchen and the others all shuddered and hurriedly scattered.

Shui Bing'er, her sister, and Yu Tianchen looked toward the source of the voice.

They saw a middle-aged woman radiating a low-pressure aura striding toward them.

The moment they saw this woman, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er both looked panicked, grabbing Yu Tianchen and preparing to make a quick escape.

But before the three could slip away, the middle-aged woman's voice carried over from a distance.

"Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er."

"If you dare to run."

"You can go explain it to your mother yourselves later!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two sisters froze.

They turned around sheepishly, looked at the middle-aged woman who had already reached them, and greeted her obediently:

"Aunt Zhou..."

Before they could even finish their sentence, the middle-aged woman whom Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er called Aunt Zhou reached out and grabbed each of the sisters by the ear.

"Using your mother's name to enter Skywater Academy as non-students, and even bringing a man inside."

"Have you two sisters grown bold? Hmm?"

"Wuu wuu... Aunt Zhou, easy, easy, we were wrong, we were wrong..."

Shui Yue'er held onto Aunt Zhou's hand, crying out in pain.

"It was me who wanted to bring Yu Tianchen in, it has nothing to do with my sister!"

"If Mother wants to punish someone, then punish me!"

Shui Bing'er held the same posture as Shui Yue'er, only the words she spoke took all the blame upon herself.
