—------------------—
After confirming that Shui Bing'er absorbed the medicine smoothly and there was no rejection reaction, Teacher Sun turned his attention to Xue Tianxing standing beside him.
She stepped forward, cupped her hands and said:
"The situation was urgent just now, and I didn't have time to ask for your benefactor's name. May I know your full name, little brother?"
"My name is Xue Tianxing."
Xue Tianxing answered concisely without any extra words.
What he wanted more now was to recover his soul power as quickly as possible, and then rush to the town to meet up with Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo. He didn't want to get too entangled with irrelevant people.
Seeing that Xue Tianxing was unwilling to say more, Teacher Sun's eyes flashed with understanding, but he did not give up. Just as he was about to ask some more questions about his background and sect, he saw Xue Tianxing walk straight to a flat piece of ice and sit down. He closed his eyes and began to circulate his soul power to recover.
Obviously, Xue Tianxing didn't want to continue the conversation.
Seeing this, Teacher Sun had no choice but to suppress his doubts and stop disturbing him.
But as she looked at Xue Tianxing's back, her heart was already in turmoil - Xue Tianxing was already a Soul Master at such a young age, and possessed a martial soul as powerful as the Ice Phoenix. He could also trigger a martial soul fusion technique with Shui Bing'er that was as powerful as a Soul Sage's attack. Such a genius was simply hard to come by!
"We must recruit him to Tianshui College!"
Teacher Sun made a secret decision in his heart.
Although she knew that Tianshui College only accepted female students, Xue Tianxing's value was too great - with the martial soul fusion technique of Xue Tianxing and Shui Bing'er, Tianshui College would surely achieve unprecedented results in the next Continental Advanced College Soul Master Competition.
As long as she goes back and explains the situation in detail to the dean, especially emphasizing the powerful force of this martial soul fusion technique, the dean will definitely make an exception and change the admission regulations for the future of the academy.
Thinking of this, Teacher Sun's eyes became more determined.
She glanced at Shui Bing'er who was still absorbing the soul ring, and then glanced at Xue Tianxing who was practicing with his eyes closed. She had already started thinking about how to convince the dean after returning.
She could even imagine the scene of Tianshui Academy rising in the world of soul masters with the joining of Xue Tianxing.
As time passed, the light of the soul ring around Shui Bing'er gradually stabilized.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the third purple soul ring lit up under her feet, lining up neatly with the first two soul rings.
She stood up, feeling the soul power filling her body, and a joyful smile appeared on her face:
"Teacher Sun, I succeeded!"
Teacher Sun came back to his senses, smiled and nodded:
"Very good! After absorbing this spirit ring, your strength has increased significantly."
Then she turned to look at Xue Tianxing, and seeing that Xue Tianxing had just finished his training and opened his eyes, she said:
"Brother Xue, since Bing'er has absorbed all the spirit rings, let's head to the town as soon as possible. After all, it's much safer there than the icefields."
Xue Tianxing nodded and stood up:
"good."
The three of them packed up and headed towards the small town on the outskirts of the far north.
Along the way, Teacher Sun mentioned the advantages of Tianshui College to Xue Tianxing intentionally or unintentionally from time to time, trying to arouse his interest, but Xue Tianxing only nodded occasionally in response and did not respond.
Teacher Sun was not discouraged. She believed that as long as she was sincere enough, she would be able to recruit this genius to Tianshui College.
Shui Bing'er walked between the two of them, secretly glancing at Xue Tianxing from time to time, the blush on her face not yet completely faded.
The three of them traveled quickly all the way and soon arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the far north.
The town is not big, and most of the houses are built of ice and wood. There are few pedestrians on the streets, most of whom are wearing heavy fur coats, and their faces have red marks from years of wind and snow.
As soon as you step into the town, a relatively warm atmosphere hits you in the face, forming a sharp contrast with the bitter cold of the Arctic ice field.
Shui Bing'er looked at the familiar town scene before her, then turned to Xue Tianxing and said:
"Tian Xing, you said before that you're also from the Tian Dou Empire. If that's the case, why don't we rest in this small town for one night and then go back together tomorrow? We'll have someone to look after us on the way."
As she spoke, there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes - after experiencing the bond of life and death and martial soul fusion skills before, she inexplicably did not want to be separated from Xue Tianxing.
Xue Tianxing heard this and shook his head apologetically:
"Bing'er, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that won't work. I need to wait for my two elders in the town. They got separated from me in the Far North and agreed to meet up here."
Hearing this, the expectation in Shui Bing'er's eyes dimmed instantly, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, unable to hide her feeling of loss.
She lowered her head and whispered:
"Is that so...Okay then."
This scene was seen clearly by Teacher Sun who was standing beside her. She secretly complained in her heart:
"As expected, all men are the same. They talk and laugh with pretty girls."
But on second thought, Xue Tianxing's waiting for the elders actually gave her more opportunities to recruit him.
If he could meet Xue Tianxing's elders, with the help of Xue Tianxing and Shui Binger's martial soul fusion skills, he might be able to persuade the other party more smoothly and let Xue Tianxing join Tianshui College.
Thinking of this, Teacher Sun immediately spoke to smooth things over:
"Bing'er, don't be disappointed. Tianxing saved us in the Far North, and it's only right that we repay him. Since he wants to wait for the elders, we will wait with him. This will also give us a few more days to rest in this small town and recover our strength."
Shui Bing'er raised her head abruptly upon hearing this, a light rekindled in her eyes, and she nodded vigorously:
"Okay! We'll wait with you!"
Xue Tianxing looked at the two people singing the same tune and could guess what Teacher Sun was thinking - he simply wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of waiting to further win him over, and even wanted to put pressure on him through his elders.
But instead of being disgusted, he was secretly happy:
He was looking for an opportunity to have more contact with Shui Bing'er. If he could use the time they were waiting together to persuade Shui Bing'er to go to the Kingdom of Barak, that would be perfect.
You know, the speed of practicing the Ultimate Martial Soul will slow down significantly between level 30 and level 70, and practicing together with two people who possess the Martial Soul Fusion Technique can greatly make up for this shortcoming.
If he could practice with Shui Bing'er, not only would he be able to solve the problem of his slow practice, but he could also improve his proficiency in martial soul fusion techniques, which would be killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun and Bing'er."
Xue Tianxing smiled and said:
"There's an inn up ahead that looks pretty good. Let's go and stay there."
The three of them came to the hotel where Xue Tianxing, Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo had stayed before, and booked three adjacent rooms.
After settling in, Teacher Sun returned to his room on the pretext of recovering his soul power, but in fact he was thinking about how to win over Xue Tianxing; Shui Bing'er stood awkwardly at the door of Xue Tianxing's room, as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.
