"Wuhen, come in for a moment!"
Hearing this, Shui Wuhen shifted his gaze away from Shui Bing'er and walked into the dean's office.
The first thing that entered his sight was a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting in an office chair. She wore a light blue long dress, and her figure was full and graceful.
She was the current dean of Tianshui Academy, Shui Yue'er. She was also a Level 79 peak Spirit Saint, only one step away from becoming a Spirit Douluo.
"Wuhen, do you want to participate in the Elite Tournament? I remember you like fighting geniuses, right?"
Shui Yue'er rested her chin on her hands. Her pair of blue eyes looked at Shui Wuhen as she smiled.
Hearing this, Shui Wuhen was silent for a moment and said, "I am not a student of Tianshui Academy."
"No! You are!"
Shui Yue'er did not hesitate at all and said firmly, "From now on, you are the first male student in the history of Tianshui Academy!"
"Dean, this does not follow the rules."
Shui Wuhen looked at Shui Yue'er and said.
Shui Yue'er smiled slightly. "Why not? I am the dean. My words are the rules!"
"And are you willing to let Bing'er be bullied by students from other academies on the competition stage?"
"…"
Shui Wuhen looked at Shui Yue'er quietly for a while, then nodded. "Alright, I will participate."
"Good. I knew you would agree, Wuhen."
The smile in Shui Yue'er's eyes grew deeper. Then she skillfully took out several sets of blue, gorgeous male uniforms from her storage soul tool, placed them on the table, and pushed them toward Shui Wuhen.
"These are the team uniforms I prepared for you. Remember to wear them when the time comes."
Shui Wuhen looked at the male team uniforms, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that the dean of Tianshui Academy had planned this for a long time. She had even prepared his clothes in advance.
With a wave of his hand, he put the clothes into his storage soul tool, then left the dean's office and closed the door behind him.
After Shui Wuhen left, Shui Yue'er's expression gradually became serious. She muttered in a low voice, "I hope you can bring change to us. Otherwise, relying only on Bing'er, Xue Wu, and those girls, we won't be able to win this championship. The monsters from the other academies are not easy to deal with."
Obviously, Shui Yue'er did not know that Shui Wuhen had already broken through to the Spirit Emperor level. If she knew, she would never have said that.
On the other side, after Shui Wuhen walked out of the office, Shui Bing'er, who had overheard the conversation, immediately clapped her hands happily.
"That's great! With your help, Brother, I believe Tianshui Academy will definitely win this Elite Tournament."
Dong!
After hearing Shui Bing'er's words, Shui Wuhen knocked lightly on her head and said, "Do not underestimate the enemy. There are many geniuses in this world."
"Yes, I know."
Although she said that, Shui Bing'er was not convinced in her heart.
"No matter how talented they are, can they be more talented than you, Brother?"
Shui Wuhen glanced at his sister's unconvinced expression and knew she had not taken his words to heart. He could not help but shake his head slightly.
In the end, she had never experienced a real defeat and did not know how vast the world was.
He once thought he was the only peerless genius as well. That was until one time, when he went out to hunt a spirit ring and ran into a golden-haired girl with wings like an angel.
Although he barely won that battle in the end, it made him no longer dare to underestimate the geniuses of the world.
After all, he had almost lost to a random girl he met. Who knew how many hidden geniuses there were in this world?
After that, Shui Wuhen accompanied Shui Bing'er around Tianshui Academy for a while before leaving.
"Brother~"
Watching Shui Wuhen's departing figure, Shui Bing'er wanted to ask him to stay. But in the end, she suppressed the thought.
"I will prove to you that your sister is also a genius, not a burden."
...
On the other side, after leaving Tianshui Academy, Shui Wuhen rode on Articuno and flew toward a certain direction.
A quarter of an hour later, Shui Wuhen arrived at his destination—Sky Snow Peak!
Sky Snow Peak was the highest mountain near Tianshui City. It was named because its summit was covered with ice and snow all year round.
The top of Sky Snow Peak was extremely cold, with fierce winds howling. The environment was as harsh as the Frozen Forest. Even some ice-attribute Spirit Masters did not dare to stay there for long.
After arriving at a cliff on the mountain peak, Shui Wuhen jumped down from Articuno and looked around. He shook his head.
"No one has come again? That's good."
"Articuno, I will cultivate in seclusion for one month. Wake me up when the time is up."
Shui Wuhen turned and said to Articuno beside him.
"Wu~~"
Articuno nodded, showing that she understood.
Then Shui Wuhen sat cross-legged and entered cultivation.
Yes, this place that ordinary people did not dare to step into was a cultivation spot that Shui Wuhen had spent great effort to find. The effect of cultivating here even surpassed the top mimic cultivation grounds inside Tianshui Academy.
Otherwise, even if Shui Wuhen possessed rare innate full spirit power, it would have been impossible for him to reach the Spirit Emperor level at the age of sixteen.
Not long after Shui Wuhen began cultivating, a strong wind blew. The cold air crazily rushed into his body. Even his bones seemed to tremble under the burden of the freezing chill.
But Shui Wuhen remained unmoved. Even when his body was covered in a layer of frost, he did not stop meditating.
In contrast to his miserable appearance, the extremely cold spirit power inside his body began to circulate faster under the stimulation of the environment.
After Shui Wuhen entered his cultivation state, Articuno did not disappear. She stood to the side and silently guarded him.
Time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, one month had gone by.
"Wu—!"
With Articuno's long cry, Shui Wuhen, who had turned into a snowman, woke up from his cultivation.
"It's already been a month? What a pity. If I had another half month, I should be able to break through to Level 63."
Shui Wuhen felt a little regretful.
The spirit power increase brought by the fifty-thousand-year Extreme Cold Ice Bird spirit ring was stronger than he had expected. Originally, he thought that after breaking through to Spirit Emperor, it would take at least four or five months to raise one level. But now, in just one month, he had already touched the threshold of Level 63.
The next moment, Shui Wuhen broke out of the snow. The ice attached to his body gradually melted as he awakened.
He looked around at the environment and said calmly, "Looks like I need to change places next time. As my level increases, this environment is no longer enough to support my rapid improvement."
In the past, cultivating here could double his cultivation speed. But after breaking through to Spirit Emperor, the effect had dropped to sixty percent, only slightly better than the mimic cultivation grounds of Tianshui Academy.
Shui Wuhen was naturally not satisfied with such an effect. He needed a place where he could cultivate even faster.
But that was something to consider later.
Because the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was about to begin!
