Are my socks dirty?
Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?
Jun Yi curiously took out a mirror from his Soul Tool Ring and looked at himself.
"No problem, it's still that dashing, debonair, incomparably handsome face with bright eyes and white teeth. Are you all captivated by my face?"
Jun Yi looked at the female students from the Skywater Academy with an air of utter resignation, appearing as if she were a shy young woman.
"Haha, Junior Brother Jun, you look like one of those women performing in a teahouse."
Shui Yue'er covered her mouth and laughed heartily. The other female students also laughed. Jun Yi's posture did look somewhat funny. Shui Bing'er also had a smile on her lips.
"Then I would appreciate it if you ladies could spend some more Gold Soul Coin as a reward," Jun Yi said with a smile.
Another burst of laughter erupted from the Skywater Academy, leaving Plant Academy and Blazing Fire Academy puzzled. They couldn't understand why Skywater Academy could laugh so happily after losing the match.
"Have Shui Bing'er and the others gone mad?"
Huo Wu was extremely puzzled Huo Wu saw Shui Bing'er and the others laughing around Jun Yi. She couldn't understand why such a proud girl like Shui Bing'er would smile after losing the competition. What kind of magic did Jun Yi possess?
At the Skywater Academy, everyone returned to normal. Shui Yue'er explained why they had been staring at Jun Yi so intently, "Junior Brother Jun, is your ability to control ice elements a gift from your Martial Soul? How do you manage to control ice elements in such ever-changing ways?"
"Um, let me answer your first question first. My Martial Soul is indeed related to controlling ice elements. As for how to control it at will, it's actually both difficult and simple."
Jun Yi coughed twice and earnestly explained to the students from the Skywater Academy present, "We should broaden our perspective and not think that only Soul Ring can give us Soul Skill. Sometimes we can develop our Martial Soul itself. For example, Senior Bing'er's first Soul Skill, Ice Seal, showed many different forms, including ice pillars and ice spikes."
"My Martial Soul's ability is very simple: it controls ice elements. The reason I can control it at will is primarily due to my Divine Power. As long as your Divine Power is sufficient, you can control your Martial Soul with exquisite Subtlety, thereby better developing the Martial Soul itself."
In essence, everything Jun Yi said boils down to one sentence: improve one's own Divine Power in order to better understand and develop the abilities inherent in one's own Martial Soul. On this basis, one can also change the form of one's Soul Skill, which are what Soul Master call Mutated Soul Skill.
After listening to Jun Yi's explanation, the students fell into deep thought. Shui Yue'er also nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked again, "I see. But how should we improve our Divine Power?"
"You'll have to find that out yourselves. My method is a bit unusual and not convenient to reveal."
Jun Yi replied that his method of training his Divine Power was very simple: he constantly honed it by releasing Observation Haki, and his Divine Power would also improve when forging Soul Tool. This method was only available to Jun Yi.
"Okay, I'll ask my teacher how to improve my Divine Power when I get back to the academy. Thank you for telling us the method, Junior Brother Jun." Shui Yue'er smiled and Jun Yi.
"Just a verbal thank you?" Jun Yi said, feigning displeasure.
After thinking for a moment, Shui Yue'er said to Jun Yi, "Haven't you always wanted to come to our academy? Then please come and visit us sometime in the future."
"Okay, it's a deal."
It's a deal.
Jun Yi and Shui Yue'er high-fived, thus reaching their agreement. Shui Bing'er simply smiled without saying a word. She truly hadn't expected the rumored Jun Yi to be this kind of person—so easygoing, and able to chat so well with her younger sister. This was something she hadn't anticipated.
After all, most geniuses are arrogant, but Jun Yi is really down-to-earth, approachable, and even a little childish, making him quite fun to be around.
Jun Yi chatted with the people from the Skywater Academy, waiting for the Blazing Fire Academy and Plant Academy to issue their challenges. However, after everyone had finished chatting, neither academy mentioned the Soul Fighting at all.
He could understand why the Plant Academy was afraid of his strength and didn't want to Soul Fighting him. After all, the Plant Academy was the weakest of the three academies, and their captain, Mu Yunteng, only had Soul Power of level 37. Soul Fighting him would be humiliating.
Jun Yi hadn't expected Huo Wu not to challenge him to Soul Fighting. He remembered that in the original story, Huo Wu was quite hostile towards Tang San and constantly issued challenges. Initially, Huo Wu Jun Yi was also resentful of him, wondering why he wouldn't challenge her. Was it because his personal charm wasn't enough?
Jun Yi was unaware that it was his previous experience that had intimidated everyone, including Huo Wu. However, this was not the main reason. More importantly, Jun Yi had easily defeated Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu's current Soul Power Level was lower than theirs, putting her at a natural disadvantage.
Although Huo Wu is straightforward, she's not stupid. She knows she definitely wouldn't win if she went on stage, so she might as well not mention it.
Seeing that it was almost time, Dugu Yan stood up from the audience and said to everyone, "I think you have all finished your tour. Now please follow me to the academy's conference room to wait for the teachers from each academy to return from their discussions."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and followed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to the meeting room to wait. After everyone entered the meeting room to rest, the guide's task for the day was considered complete.
Jun Yi naturally sat down on the Skywater Academy side, while Shui Yue'er quietly moved closer to Jun Yi and whispered, "Junior Brother Jun, you kept staring at my legs, were my socks dirty?"
As she spoke, she crossed her legs, which were clad in white stockings, and began to examine them herself.
"Uh, no, I just thought your socks were really nice, so I looked at them a few more times."
Jun Yi didn't expect Shui Yue'er to ask this question, but he, Jun Yi, was not exactly a gentleman, so he directly stated his true thoughts.
"Oh, is that so? I thought it was just that my socks were dirty."
After saying that, Shui Yue'er lowered her crossed legs, put them together, and looked herself over. Then, smiling, she continued to say to Jun Yi, "I also think it looks quite nice."
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er covered her face with her right hand. She hadn't expected the conversation between the two to be so outrageous; one dared to ask, and the other dared to answer.
In Shui Bing'er's mind, Jun Yi gained another label: a straightforward little lecher...
