Skywater Academy's Dean: Shui Phoebe!
Dai Fei and Su Yao walked side by side, heading toward Skywater City.
Along the way, Su Yao stole glances at Dai Fei from time to time, secretly admiring his handsome looks and strength.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart.
"Young master Dai, where are you from?"
Su Yao couldn't help asking, a trace of shyness in her voice.
Dai Fei smiled faintly, his gaze still fixed ahead. "I come from a distant place. I came out this time to gain experience and look for some opportunities along the way."
He had no intention of revealing his true circumstances.
Su Yao nodded, even more curious about Dai Fei.
She continued, "Then what are your plans, young master Dai? If you don't have anything urgent to attend to, why not stay in Skywater City for a few more days? I can show you around."
Dai Fei turned his head and glanced at Su Yao, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes. "Then thank you for your kind offer, Miss Su. I happen to be interested in Skywater City, especially Skywater Academy. I've heard it's a gathering place for talented Soul Masters."
Hearing that Dai Fei was interested in Skywater Academy, Su Yao was delighted and hurriedly said, "Skywater Academy really is a good place to train Soul Masters. Our dean in particular is unfathomably powerful and was once a mighty figure who stirred up wind and clouds. If you're interested, young master Dai, I can introduce you."
Dai Fei nodded, his interest in Skywater Academy growing even stronger.
Besides improving his strength, he also hoped to meet some powerful Soul Masters and broaden his horizons on this journey.
The two chatted as they traveled, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Skywater City's gates.
Skywater City stood on a vast plain, surrounded by towering walls covered in all kinds of Defensive Soul Tools. It was an imposing sight.
A huge plaque hung above the gate, bearing the three large characters for "Skywater City" in vigorous, majestic strokes.
Su Yao pointed at the gate and said with a smile, "Young master Dai, this is Skywater City. Although our city isn't particularly large, it's one of the major strongholds of the Soul Master World. Skywater Academy in particular has attracted countless talented Soul Masters to study here, though it only accepts female students."
Dai Fei nodded, sweeping his gaze over the guards at the gate.
The guards wore matching suits of silver armor and carried longswords at their waists. Clearly, they were all capable Soul Masters.
When they saw Su Yao, they immediately saluted her respectfully. "Leader Su, you're back."
Skywater Academy held the highest position in Skywater City, even above the city lord.
And as the leader of Skywater Team, Su Yao naturally held a high position herself and enjoyed a great deal of face when she went out.
Su Yao nodded slightly, then led Dai Fei through the gate.
Skywater City's streets were wide, lined with shops on both sides and bustling with an endless stream of pedestrians.
Soul Masters passed by on the streets from time to time. Their presence was powerful, and they were clearly all formidable experts.
As they walked, Su Yao explained to Dai Fei, "Skywater City is divided into the inner and outer cities. The outer city is mainly where ordinary residents and merchants live, while the inner city is where Soul Masters gather. Skywater Academy is located in the center of the inner city and is the most important place in all of Skywater City."
Dai Fei nodded, sweeping his gaze around him, surprised by how bustling Skywater City was.
He had thought Skywater City was just an ordinary city, but he hadn't expected it to be so prosperous. The number of Soul Masters in particular far exceeded his expectations.
The two crossed several streets and finally arrived at the entrance to the inner city.
The inner city's walls were taller than those of the outer city. Several guards in golden armor stood before the gate, their presence sharper than that of the outer-city guards. Clearly, they were all Soul King-level experts.
Su Yao stepped forward and showed a token, and the guards immediately stepped aside respectfully.
Su Yao turned back to Dai Fei and said, "Young master Dai, the inner city is an area reserved for Soul Masters. Ordinary people aren't allowed in, but since we're both Soul Masters, the restriction naturally doesn't apply to us."
Dai Fei nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of Skywater City's rules.
There were class divisions everywhere.
Naturally, they were even more pronounced in the world of Soul Masters.
He followed Su Yao into the inner city, where the sights before him were entirely different from those in the outer city.
The inner city's buildings were grander, and almost everyone walking the streets was a Soul Master. Their presence was powerful, and they were clearly all formidable experts.
Su Yao led Dai Fei onward until they finally arrived in front of an enormous building.
The building towered into the clouds. A huge plaque hung above its entrance, bearing the four large characters for "Skywater Academy" in vigorous, powerful strokes that conveyed an air of majesty.
"This is Skywater Academy."
Su Yao smiled as she spoke, a trace of pride flashing in her eyes.
Dai Fei looked up at the towering building and couldn't help marveling at Skywater Academy's grandeur.
He could sense powerful fluctuations of Soul Power within the academy. It was clearly an excellent place to cultivate.
Su Yao led Dai Fei through the academy gates. When the guards at the entrance saw her, they immediately saluted her respectfully. "Leader Su, you're back."
Su Yao nodded slightly, then led Dai Fei farther into the academy.
The grounds were beautiful, with all manner of exotic flowers and plants growing all around and a faint fragrance drifting through the air.
The academy's buildings were simple and elegant in style, conveying a profound sense of history.
As they walked, Su Yao explained to Dai Fei, "Skywater Academy is divided into the outer and inner academies. The outer academy is mainly a place for junior Soul Masters to cultivate, while the inner academy is reserved for high-level Soul Masters. Our dean lives in the inner academy. He's a Soul Douluo-level expert and very powerful."
Dai Fei nodded, developing a keen interest in Skywater Academy's dean.
Besides wanting to see Skywater Academy's splendor for himself, he also hoped to meet the dean during this visit. Perhaps he could receive some guidance on cultivation from him.
Su Yao led Dai Fei through several corridors and finally arrived in front of a grand hall.
Two elderly women in long silver robes stood at the entrance. Their presence was powerful, and they were clearly both Soul Saint-level experts.
Su Yao stepped forward and said respectfully, "Elders, this is young master Dai Fei. He just saved my life outside the city. I'd like to take him to see the dean so he can thank him personally for saving my life."
Su Yao told them about the Soul Emperor Evil Soul Master who had pursued her.
The two elders were angry at first, then glanced at Dai Fei, surprise flashing in their eyes.
They could sense the powerful fluctuations of Soul Power coming from Dai Fei. He was clearly a capable Soul Master as well.
He was so young, yet he had managed to kill a Soul Emperor Evil Soul Master. His strength was clearly anything but ordinary!
One of the elders nodded and said, "Since he's Leader Su's benefactor, you may go in. The dean is in the hall. You can go straight to see him."
Su Yao nodded slightly, then led Dai Fei into the hall.
The hall was lavishly decorated, with all kinds of precious Soul Tools embedded in the surrounding walls and a thick red carpet covering the floor, giving it a solemn air.
