"Foolish child, what will you do after you get your revenge?" Snow Empress comforted him gently.
"After I get my revenge, I can stay with Auntie Ice and Auntie Snow forever." Whenever Xue Tianyu mentioned Ice Empress and Snow Empress, his voice was filled with tenderness.
Ice Empress and Snow Empress both wore happy smiles when they heard Xue Tianyu's heartfelt words.
They had not raised this child for nothing.
The two women immediately hugged Xue Tianyu even tighter.
After a long while, Xue Tianyu suddenly said, "The Soul Master Competition on the continent will be starting soon. I'm going to compete too."
"Since Auntie Ice and Auntie Snow are bored in the Extreme North anyway, why not come to the human world and have some fun?"
"Sure."
Without Xue Tianyu, Ice Empress and Snow Empress would not have had the slightest interest in the human world.
But since Xue Tianyu was participating in this competition, they could go take a look.
In truth, Xue Tianyu had been waiting many years for this competition.
It was the stage he had prepared for his revenge!
He knew that at this Soul Master Competition, there would be Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, personally trained by Bibi Dong.
Those three were Bibi Dong's pride.
Heh heh...
Then he would personally shatter Bibi Dong's pride and use their blood to raise the curtain on his revenge!
Skywater Academy.
Xue Tianyu returned with the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors.
By then, Shui Binger and Shui Yuer, who had somehow received the news, had long been waiting for him at the academy gates.
"Tianyu-gege~~~"
Ever since the Shui Binger and Shui Yuer sisters had come to study at Skywater Academy, they had always been Xue Tianyu's little fangirls.
From when they had enrolled at the age of six until now, for all these years, whenever Xue Tianyu was at the academy, the two of them would definitely trail after him.
Seeing Xue Tianyu return after several months apart, they pounced on him at once.
Right in front of Ice Empress and Snow Empress, the two girls hugged Xue Tianyu from either side.
"Did you two cultivate seriously while I was away?"
Xue Tianyu wrapped an arm around each of their slender waists and asked with a smile.
"Of course we did! If you don't believe us, ask Xue Wu!"
Shui Binger giggled, then pointed at the group of gorgeous Skywater Academy girls following behind them.
Naturally, those girls were not as bold as Shui Binger and Shui Yuer. They merely gathered around Xue Tianyu one after another.
After all, Xue Tianyu was handsome and powerful. Who wouldn't like him?
But this left Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who had been ignored at the side, somewhat stunned.
Surrounded by so many beautiful women, Tianyu's life at Skywater Academy was truly...
Far too comfortable, wasn't it?
At that moment, the Tianshui Headmaster, who had learned that Xue Tianyu had returned, came out as well.
When they saw the headmaster arrive, the girls could only restrain themselves somewhat.
She walked up to Xue Tianyu. "Tianyu, before long, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition will begin. You..."
Xue Tianyu knew what she wanted to say and nodded at once. "Don't worry. I'll lead the team into the competition."
Rather, he had returned precisely for this competition.
"Yay!" Shui Binger had already been selected to compete. Seeing that Tianyu would be leading Skywater, she jumped up in delight. "With Tianyu-gege leading us, victory is guaranteed!"
Xue Tianyu gently rubbed Shui Binger's little head. This time, perhaps we'll run into that Shrek Academy Team led by Tang San?
I wonder what reward I'll get if I check in on Tang San?
Of course, those were secondary. His true objective was still revenge.
Holding Snow Empress Close, Qian Renxue's Tenderness ### "Tianyu-gege, what level have you reached now? Can you tell me?"
Xue Tianyu was still thinking over the details of his revenge, so he did not react immediately to Shui Binger's question.
To him, even if he encountered Tang San and the others, he had no time to bother with them. He only wanted revenge. Nothing else mattered.
"Tianyu-gege?"
Seeing that Xue Tianyu did not respond, Shui Binger immediately hugged his arm with both hands and shook it.
"Hm?"
Only then did Xue Tianyu lower his head to look at Shui Binger.
It had to be said that now that Shui Binger had developed, she was rather pretty.
The soft sensation pressing against his arm also made Xue Tianyu quite comfortable.
"I want to know how strong Tianyu-gege is..." Shui Binger obediently repeated her request.
Xue Tianyu smiled.
He did not mind displaying his cultivation.
A terrifying aura erupted from his body in an instant.
Shui Binger and Shui Yuer widened their eyes. To them, Xue Tianyu, with his cultivation aura fully displayed, was like an unfathomable abyss of Soul Power. They did not yet understand what that represented.
They only vaguely felt that Xue Tianyu was far stronger than them.
Yet they had no concrete understanding of just how great that strength was.
It was only when they heard the trembling amazement of the Tianshui Headmaster beside them that they gained some understanding of Xue Tianyu's power.
"Ti... Titled?"
Huh?
A Titled Douluo??
Nearly every girl who had come to greet Xue Tianyu at the academy gates was stunned by their headmaster's exclamation.
Xue Tianyu had already reached the level of a Titled Douluo?
If someone else had said it, they might not have believed it.
But this person was their headmaster.
"Th-then doesn't that mean we can win the championship easily?"
A girl immediately realized that this Soul Master Competition was merely a competition among outstanding students from the major academies.
But aside from Xue Tianyu, there could not possibly be another twenty-year-old Titled Douluo, right?
Shui Binger and Shui Yuer were even more shocked. They had already cultivated as hard as they could just to be qualified to stand by Xue Tianyu's side.
Although they were not cultivation maniacs like Xue Tianyu, training every moment of every day, they had very little time to rest.
Yet they had never expected the gap between them and Xue Tianyu to keep growing wider.
If peerless talent could take physical form, it would surely look like Xue Tianyu.
At that moment, the Tianshui Headmaster came to her senses as well. With a contestant like Xue Tianyu, whose strength was at the Titled Douluo level, the championship could practically be considered theirs already.
Skywater Academy had not achieved good results in such an important competition for a long time.
"Shh... We need to keep a low profile." The Tianshui Headmaster immediately told the surrounding students, "Before the competition, we can't let our opponents learn of Tianyu's strength."
Shui Yuer covered her mouth and laughed. "Are you afraid our opponents will forfeit?"
"Ha ha..."
Shui Yuer's words made every girl present laugh.
Night.
Ice Empress had gone to bed early.
When the academy headmaster saw the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors arrive, she specially added two beds to Xue Tianyu's dormitory.
Xue Tianyu had originally lived alone in the room, so this would not affect anyone else.
"Can't sleep?"
Snow Empress saw Xue Tianyu standing alone by the window, looking at the moonlight outside, and sat up from her bed as well.
"Mhm... I remembered some things." Xue Tianyu did not turn around.
Snow Empress could see that Xue Tianyu harbored worries about the uncertainties of the future. She slowly got up, walked to his side, took his hand, and placed it against her chest.
Xue Tianyu knew that Snow Empress was comforting him in her own way, so he turned and directly embraced her.
Aside from the debt he owed Snow Empress for saving his life as an infant and raising him for twenty years, now that he had grown up, he had gradually developed some different feelings for her as well.
Whenever his heart was in turmoil, only by staying beside Snow Empress could he feel a moment of peace.
Perhaps he truly depended on Snow Empress.
Simply holding Snow Empress like this made him feel comfortable. No matter how violently his emotions had surged before, he would calm down at this moment.
Snow Empress wrapped her arms around Xue Tianyu in return and gently patted his back.
"Tianyu, don't worry."
"Now, you have Ice Empress and me by your side."
Snow Empress smiled gently. "If anyone here threatens you, I will act."
As one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, once Snow Empress made a move, she would certainly stir up a commotion no less than that caused by an Ultimate Douluo.
"Mhm..."
Xue Tianyu knew that she and Ice Empress were his strongest support.
He felt deeply secure.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianyu let out a long breath and hugged Snow Empress in his arms even tighter.
Time passed, and the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition was about to begin.
Xue Tianyu brought the members of the Skywater Team to Heaven Dou Imperial City.
With several days remaining before the competition, he brought the beautiful Skywater girls into a hotel, then told them not to wander around aimlessly.
For the upcoming competition, they needed to seize every moment to cultivate.
As the vice-captain, Shui Binger naturally accepted all of Xue Tianyu's orders. She immediately led the beautiful Skywater girls into cultivation.
As for Xue Tianyu, he leisurely made his way to the old tavern he had frequented over the past few years.
Sure enough, Qian Renxue, dressed as a woman, was there as well.
"Hm? Why did you come so early today?" Qian Renxue looked at Xue Tianyu curiously.
She had indeed invited Xue Tianyu before, but under normal circumstances, he would not arrive until quite late.
After all, it took time for the information to reach Skywater Academy.
"Isn't the Soul Master Competition about to begin?" Xue Tianyu sat down and greeted the bartender. "I'm here representing Skywater Academy to participate in the competition. I'll be staying in the imperial city for the next few days."
Over the years, Xue Tianyu had become quite familiar with the bartender at this old tavern, so the bartender did not even need to ask to know what Xue Tianyu wanted to drink.
"This drink is on me. Consider it my wish for you to win your first battle." The bartender smiled faintly and gave Xue Tianyu an extra drink.
"Thanks." Xue Tianyu did not stand on ceremony. After all, they could be considered old friends.
