Captain, You're Way Too Fast!

Shui Bing'er looked adorable with such a serious expression. In that respect, Huo Wu could never hope to match her.

And the clever Shui Bing'er had already guessed that he knew what the two necklaces did, but Feng Xiaotian had plans of his own.

So he feigned confusion and asked, "What do they do? All I know is that one of these necklaces is a little cold and the other is especially cold. Do they have some other use?"

Feng Xiaotian wouldn't admit it even if they beat him to death. Right now, he wanted to see what Shui Bing'er would do!

A hint of confusion crossed Shui Bing'er's face when she heard him, but Shui Yue'er said, "Sister, didn't I tell you? Brother Xiaotian definitely didn't know. If he did, how could he give me... give... hehe!"

Shui Yue'er realized she shouldn't say the rest in front of Feng Xiaotian, so she could only give an adorable little "hehe" smile.

Shui Bing'er asked, "Brother Xiaotian, you really don't know?"

Feng Xiaotian shook his head and asked with feigned curiosity, "What do they do? I asked quite a few people to look into them, and they all said they were just ordinary necklaces. At most, their materials were unusual, but they didn't have any special use."

With his sincere expression, Feng Xiaotian seemed to have been possessed by a great emperor-an emperor of acting, that was.

Shui Bing'er continued, "Since you don't know, Brother Xiaotian, I have to tell you that there's something unusual about these two necklaces."

Feng Xiaotian asked in confusion, "What's unusual about them?"

Shui Bing'er continued, "Brother Xiaotian, you're at Godwind Academy, where the Soul Masters are mostly wind-attribute. That makes it difficult to figure out exactly what these two necklaces do."

"These necklaces that Yue and I have should be Soul Tools with attributes. Both may have survived from the peak of Soul Tool crafting in ancient times on the continent."

Feng Xiaotian put on a surprised expression. "These are actually Soul Tools? How did I not notice?"

Shui Bing'er smiled faintly, looking both adorable and beautiful, full of youthful vitality. "Because only ice-attribute and water-attribute Soul Masters can use these two Soul Tools. Soul Masters with other attributes can't detect anything at all."

She had tested this many times. Shui Mingyu and Shui Yu'er, for example, were both water-attribute, and they had studied them for a long time without finding anything unusual.

Yet she had obtained something so wonderful just like that. On the way here, she had felt somewhat sorry toward Feng Xiaotian, as though she owed him something, and had hesitated over whether to tell him.

But while he was hesitating, Shui Yue'er had also gone to see Feng Xiaotian and brought back a necklace with the same effect. What was even rarer was that Shui Yue'er's necklace also had twenty cubic meters of space for storing things.

Having gained so much, the kindhearted Shui Bing'er had finally decided to bring Shui Yue'er along to see Feng Xiaotian.

After all, Shui Bing'er guessed that Feng Xiaotian had definitely given the two Soul Tools to the sisters on purpose, though she didn't know what he wanted.

After hearing her out, Feng Xiaotian put on a look of sudden realization. "So that's how it is. What exactly do they do?"

Shui Bing'er answered truthfully, "When I wear my necklace while cultivating, it increases my cultivation speed by twenty percent. Yue'er's also increases her cultivation speed by twenty percent, but hers is different in that it also has twenty cubic meters of space for storing things."

Shui Yue'er's necklace actually also had a sealed Soul Skill, but it would only be used in times of danger, so neither of them had discovered it.

Feng Xiaotian said, "It actually does that? A twenty percent increase in cultivation speed means that wearing it for ten months of cultivation gives you the results of twelve. In a year, that's equivalent to cultivating for more than two extra months."

Shui Bing'er nodded. She had wanted to say that it was too precious, or offer to return it, but to her surprise, Feng Xiaotian said, "Only a little over two months? That's nothing special! I thought it would be much more useful."

"Is that what you came here to tell me?" Feng Xiaotian asked.

Shui Bing'er was speechless. He called that not very useful?

It gave them almost two and a half extra months in a year. What about four years? That was ten extra months. With a little effort, ten months was enough to gain another level of Soul Power before the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, perhaps even two.

He called that useless?

What about ten years? Was its effect still small then?

It was definitely no small thing. Over ten years, it would certainly let them pull far ahead of Soul Masters their own age.

Seeing that Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were momentarily at a loss for words, Feng Xiaotian spoke first. "You aren't thinking of giving them back, are you? Once I, Feng Xiaotian, give something away, I'll never take it back-unless you look down on me!"

"Besides, these things are useless to me, but very useful to you two. Cultivate hard, and in the future, we'll all put on a good showing at the Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

"But..." Shui Bing'er had wanted to say something, but Feng Xiaotian's words had stopped her.

Still, the clever Shui Bing'er understood that Feng Xiaotian truly meant to give them the necklaces. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

Shui Yue'er was the happiest when she saw Shui Bing'er nod. She had barely had time to warm the necklace up after bringing it back, only to have to return it. She had been terribly unwilling to part with it.

Shui Bing'er said, "All right, then we sisters will keep them and use them for now. If you need them in the future, Brother Xiaotian, we'll return them."

Feng Xiaotian smiled. "There's really no need!"

But Shui Bing'er nodded again and said, "Then thank you, Brother Xiaotian. But whenever you say the word, we'll return them exactly as they are."

Shui Yue'er was overjoyed, while Shui Bing'er was curious.

What kind of person was Feng Xiaotian, exactly?

These two things were extremely valuable. If sold, they could certainly allow a family to live in luxury for a lifetime.

They might not even be something that could be measured in Gold Soul Coins. Both could serve as family heirlooms. Had she really taken a fancy to us, just as he had to Huo Wu back then?

With those thoughts in mind, Shui Bing'er opened the door together with Shui Yue'er.

"Brother Xiaotian, if you ever need help from us sisters, just say the word. We each owe you a favor." With that, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er walked out.

But as soon as they stepped outside, something felt wrong. Seven or eight Godwind Academy students were gathered there, their gazes turning toward her and Shui Yue'er in unison.

The two made almost the same movements, ducking their heads and hurrying away with flushed faces.

Once they had completely disappeared, the courtyard where Godwind Academy was staying immediately erupted into noise.

"Half an incense stick's time. Who bet that the captain would be this fast?" Feng Lingyu asked.

Everyone shook their heads. One young man said, "Ah, I don't think anyone bet on half an incense stick. Captain, you're way too fast!"

Feng Lingyu grinned. "Haha, wonderful! The house takes all!"

As he stood there beaming, the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Feng Xiaotian stood there with a stern face. "Looks like everyone has a lot of free time. The exchange match is tomorrow, and as the saying goes, sharpening your spear before battle still gives it a shine, even if it doesn't make it sharp. Come spar with me, all of you. Starting with you, Feng Lingyu."

Spar? With the captain?

Everyone's expressions turned ugly. Wasn't sparring with the captain just asking for a beating?

In fact, this was also what Feng Xiaotian needed right now. After all, since transmigrating to Douluo Continent, he had tried releasing his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, but he had never used a Soul Skill or fought a battle.

With only the memories in his mind and what barely counted as muscle memory, he really couldn't bring out his true strength.

"Ah... bang..."

"Boom..."

From Godwind Academy's courtyard came a continual series of impacts and screams, leaving everyone from Skywater Academy next door amazed.

Even this late, Godwind Academy was still training through actual combat and sparring. They were working so hard.

And so Shui Bing'er also led the members of Skywater Academy in some simple tactical drills. This was destined to be no ordinary night!
