Chapter 212: Is this Brother Bai? Why didn't you call me?
"However, this old man can say one thing: if they want to join the Spirit Empire, they'd best make their decision quickly and make outstanding contributions in this war against the Empire. That way, when we return, this old man might be able to put in a good word for you."
Shui Tao was originally a bit disappointed, but upon hearing that there was still a turn for the better, his eyes immediately lit up.
With Dugu Bo's status as a Titled Douluo, he still had a say in the Spirit Hall, and perhaps he could really secure some benefits for Blazing Academy and God Wind Academy.
Although these benefits might not be much, having some was better than having none.
The city lords of these two cities were also his old friends for many years, and they, too, saw no future with the Empire; it was better to surrender to the Spirit Hall sooner rather than later.
In the original work, the major element academies merged into one and joined Shrek Academy because the Shrek Seven Devils at that time had high talent, and if the Empire persisted for a few more years, there might have been hope.
Of course, this was not the main reason.
The main reason was that at that time, Qian Daoliu and the other seven High Priests were focused on Qian Renxue's God Trial and were not very concerned about the war.
It was only when Qian Daoliu finally sacrificed himself and died during the decisive battle at Jialing Pass that the other six High Priests gradually appeared in everyone's view.
But by this time, it was already too late; even though the Spirit Hall had two Gods, Tang San had already become a force to be reckoned with.
Oh, no, that's not right. If it weren't for the final Asura God's descent, allowing the Food God and Nine-Colored Goddess to help Ning Rongrong and Oscar resurrect the deceased Tang San, then the Spirit Hall would have actually won and unified the Douluo Continent.
It can be said that Tang San alone caused the historical development process of the Douluo Continent to regress by at least ten thousand years!
Even though Huo Yuhao later unified the entire Douluo Continent, it was still split later, and because Shrek Academy's influence within the Sun Moon Federation was too great, it had always been a hidden danger for the Federation.
Although Shrek Academy always claimed to be neutral, what ruler would allow such a powerful force, capable of threatening the Federation's status, to exist?
Don't look at the Spirit Empire now having many sect forces, led by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But if the Spirit Hall was willing, it could destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at any time!
And what about the Sun Moon Federation in Douluo Dalu 3?
Could they arbitrarily decide the life and death of Shrek Academy?
Clearly, they could not.
Furthermore, besides Shrek Academy, there was also the Spirit Pagoda, which colluded with the Holy Spirit Sect, and the main and deputy hall masters of the War God Hall, which was under the Federation's jurisdiction, also had connections with Shrek Academy.
Given this situation, it's not an exaggeration to say the continent was divided into three.
On the surface, the Sun Moon Federation ruled, but in reality, it could only be considered a pseudo-unified continent.
Subsequently, Shui Tao led the Soul Master team brought by Dugu Bo to settle down in the city first.
Shui Bing'er, meanwhile, returned to Sky Water Academy with Shui Miaomiao.
Returning to Sky Water Academy, Shui Bing'er had a peculiar feeling, as if she hadn't been back for a long time and missed it greatly.
But this was normal; Shui Bing'er was still a child, and it was natural for her to miss Tianshui City, her birthplace, after being away for a period of time.
"Mom, is sister Xue Wu here?" Shui Bing'er asked excitedly.
Shui Miaomiao smiled: "Of course she is, all your sisters are here. Do you want me to call them all over to gather with you?"
Shui Bing'er shook her head: "Just call sister Xue Wu first. I have something to give her."
"Oh, that's right, Yue'er too."
Shui Yue'er's eyes lit up: "Sister, do you have something for me too?"
Shui Bing'er nodded: "Mm."
The All-Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament was still far away, and Shui Bing'er was not the oldest among her group of friends, so she called them Big Sister.
However, during the Soul Master Tournament, Shui Bing'er was the strongest in the Sky Water team, which is why she was respectfully called Big Sister!
In Shui Bing'er's room.
Xue Wu was called over by Shui Miaomiao.
When Xue Wu saw Shui Bing'er, she happily stepped forward, and the two embraced.
"Bing'er, I heard from the Dean that after you met the Spirit Hall Holy Son in the Extreme North last time, you went to the Spirit Hall, and then Sky Water Academy and Tianshui City inexplicably pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall."
"Although the Dean said you were doing very well in the Spirit Hall, we all missed you very much." Xue Wu was so excited that she almost shed tears—tears of joy.
"Now that I see you're doing very well, and your strength has even become stronger, I'm relieved."
As a teammate capable of performing a Martial Soul Fusion skill with Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu was more sensitive to the changes in Shui Bing'er.
She could sense that the hidden ice element power on Shui Bing'er was much stronger than when she left the Academy!
Moreover, the fluctuations seemed to be more stable.
"Mm, I met Brother Hu Bai then. He happened to be in the Extreme North at the time, and then he discovered that my Ice Phoenix Bloodline wasn't very pure. This caused my Martial Soul to be very violent, and my control over ice elements wasn't very stable, making it easy to accidentally injure others."
"Then he said he had a way to solve it, and even said he could have two Super Douluo from the Spirit Hall become my teachers."
"Wow~~ And 'Brother Hu Bai,' too. How long have you known him to call him so intimately?"
"Sister Xue Wu, don't tease me anymore."
Shui Bing'er's face immediately turned red.
Shui Yue'er, who was beside them, looked completely like she was enjoying the gossip.
"Sister, is it true that the Holy Son, Your Highness, is very handsome, as rumored?" Shui Yue'er was only interested in Hu Bai's looks.
Shui Bing'er: "Mm, he's the most handsome man I've ever seen. I even think he'd look very good if he dressed as a woman."
Xue Wu: ...
Is he really that good-looking?
However, Xue Wu knew that Shui Bing'er was different from Shui Yue'er; she wasn't a lovesick girl.
But for her to say that, it was probably true that the Holy Son Your Highness was indeed very good-looking!
"Oh, that's right, because I was coming back to Tianshui City this time, I specifically asked my master for some things that I wanted to give to you and Yue'er, which will be helpful for your cultivation."
Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er also became interested: "What things?"
Subsequently, Shui Bing'er took out the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse and pulled out several boxes from inside.
This Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse was not Dugu Bo's, but one given by Glowing Feather Douluo.
"This box contains four Foundation Establishment Pills; two for each of you."
"There are also some Soul Ascension Pills and Body Tempering Pills of various ages."
"Oh, that's right, the most important are these two half-Immortal herbs!"
Shui Bing'er then took out two light blue Immortal Herbs from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
Although these two water-attribute herbs were just ordinary half-Immortal herbs, not even comparable to the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, they were still very precious and very suitable for Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er.
This grand gesture made Shui Miaomiao a little stunned; she couldn't help but ask: "Bing'er, how did you convince your two Masters to bring you so many things? These are all treasures that are impossible to find outside!"
