Skywater City, Skywater Academy, Dean's Office.
Inside the elegant, spacious room, sunlight streamed through the window lattice and quietly fell upon a breathtakingly beautiful figure.
Shui Wulü sat upright in her exclusive dean's chair. Her pure, crystalline sky-blue hair draped softly over her shoulders, her skin fair as jade, and her exquisite features flawless. Every contour seemed like a work of art painstakingly sculpted by the gods.
She wore a flowing, ethereal sky-blue gown. Its hem fell lightly around her slender, graceful figure, her curves perfectly proportioned. Her temperament was cold and otherworldly, carrying an innate aloofness untouched by mortal dust.
Her long, fair legs were elegantly crossed, her delicate jade-like feet resting in sky-blue heels that further emphasized the straightness, length, and dazzling whiteness of her legs.
Her right hand rested casually on the chair's armrest. Her clear, icy eyes lifted quietly as she stared indifferently at the Sky Screen floating high above, her expression placid and unreadable.
Yet upon closer inspection, one could see her delicate brows faintly furrowed. Her heart was filled with displeasure.
Shui Wulü parted her red lips, her cool voice sounding with a trace of impatience. "This Sky Screen is truly infuriating. It exposed my privacy, identity, and strength without my permission. Isn't it being far too overbearing?"
She was a Peak Demigod. Across the entire Douluo Star, there were very few existences capable of escaping her perception.
Yet no matter how she extended her senses and swept across the whole of Douluo Star, she could not detect even the slightest trace of the Sky Screen.
Shui Wulü silently calculated, If even I was exposed by the Sky Screen, then Big Brother and the others must be unable to do anything about it either.
Though she was only a Peak Demigod, the foundation behind her was terrifying.
Her biological elder brother was the Lord of Douluo Star. Her two sisters-in-law were both Deities, while the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, her sworn brother and sister, stood behind her as well.
If anyone dared to freely spy on and expose everything about her, that group of big shots at home would definitely make a move at once, drag out the source, and crush it.
But until now, no one had sent her any message, nor had anyone intervened. The answer was therefore obvious.
Shui Wulü suppressed the frustration in her heart. "Even Big Brother and the others have no way of dealing with this Sky Screen. It seems its level far surpasses anything native to Douluo Star."
Displeased as she was, she had no choice but to hope that the Sky Screen's ranking rewards could help raise her strength.
As early as two and a half years ago, she had already stepped into the Peak Demigod realm. Yet no matter what she did now, she remained stuck at the bottleneck, unable to enter the Quasi-God realm.
According to what her elder brother and the others had said, this was a side effect of advancing too quickly. Without ten years or so of settling and accumulation, she would never be able to enter the Quasi-God realm. Reaching level one hundred and becoming a god was even more distant.
Shui Wulü secretly looked forward to it. I've been stuck at Peak Demigod for two and a half years. Hopefully, this Sky Screen's reward can help me break through these shackles.
Her elder brother and the others had all become gods, while she alone remained stuck at Peak Demigod. What was that supposed to mean? She had her pride too. She did not want to be the one at the bottom.
Her demands were not high. Entering the Quasi-God realm and catching up to her second sister-in-law, the Ice Empress, would be enough. As for those who had already become gods, she had simply given up trying to compare herself with them. She was still young, her foundation too shallow, and becoming a god was no ordinary challenge.
As Shui Wulü pondered, the atmosphere in the office fell completely silent.
Inside the dean's office, the seven members of the Skywater Academy Team stood properly in line, accompanying Shui Wulü as they watched the Sky Screen's ranking.
When they saw the Sky Screen reveal Shui Wulü's identity, strength, fate blessing, and terrifying background, all of them were utterly dumbfounded.
The seven members of the Skywater Academy Team erupted in shock, their faces stunned and their expressions blank. "M-my god! Sixth place on the Human Powerhouse Rankings is actually Dean Shui? Isn't this information way too shocking?"
"Dean Shui not only has nine red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, but she's also a Peak Demigod who can crush Spirit Hall's pope, Bibi Dong, and the three peerless Titled Douluo. Isn't Dean Shui far too powerful?!"
The seven members of the Skywater Academy Team all spoke at once, their faces filled with disbelief. Their eyes were locked tightly on the Sky Screen. Even their breathing seemed to stop, and their minds were completely blank.
They had never imagined that the dean who guided their cultivation every day was actually a Demigod powerhouse who could crush everyone in the Soul Master world.
Before the Sky Screen's revelation, the Tianshui Shui Family had merely been a second-rate faction, with only one Soul Douluo in the clan. This was something acknowledged by all the families and factions in Skywater City, as well as everyone across the continent.
But the Sky Screen had now told the entire world that the information claiming the Tianshui Shui Family was a second-rate faction was merely what everyone on the continent believed. The Tianshui Shui Family was not some so-called second-rate faction at all, but an absolute overlord hiding its true strength.
The so-called two great empires and the Upper Three Sects were not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Tianshui Shui Family. Even Spirit Hall, which had been passed down for ten thousand years and dominated the Douluo Continent, could only be completely crushed before the terrifying foundation of the Tianshui Shui Family.
Shui Wulü's strength alone was enough to crush every faction across Douluo Star. Not to mention that behind her stood a terrifying group of Deities as her backers; pulling out any one of them would produce an existence invincible in the world.
At that moment, all seven members of the Skywater Academy Team felt proud to have joined Skywater Academy. After all, Skywater Academy had been founded by the Shui Family.
After recovering from their shock, the other five team members felt their scalps go numb.
They all looked toward Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, unable to stop themselves from complaining in exasperated amusement. "Big Sis, Second Sis, you two kept your mouths way too tightly shut!"
"Exactly, exactly! You two are with us every day. We train together and discuss tactics together, yet you never let even the slightest hint slip."
"If the Sky Screen hadn't exposed all this, we'd still be completely in the dark. We never would have known that Dean Shui was a Peak Demigod powerhouse, much less that the Shui Family had such a huge group of Deities behind it!"
"Yeah, yeah! We've spent so many years together with you two, yet we never heard a single detail. Such earth-shattering news, and you two somehow kept it completely airtight!"
The others chimed in one after another. Though they were verbally complaining that Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had kept such tight-lipped secrecy, their entire worldview had been thoroughly overturned.
Shui Bing'er looked somewhat helpless at their words and let out a soft sigh. "It wasn't that we deliberately hid it from you. We simply didn't know these things either. If the Sky Screen hadn't revealed it, we sisters wouldn't have known our family's true foundation."
Shui Yue'er nodded beside her. "Yeah, yeah! We always thought the elders in our family were all Titled Douluo. We had no idea there were so many Deities in the family. If the Sky Screen hadn't exposed it, we wouldn't have known that our teacher was actually a Peak Demigod powerhouse either."
