After tidying up some clothes, Shui Wuhen patted Articuno beside him and said, "Articuno, let's go to Tianshui Academy."
"Mmm~~"
With a long cry, the Articuno quickly reverted from about two meters to its previous size.
Step~
With his hands behind his back, Shui Wuhen lightly pushed off and skillfully jumped onto Articuno's body, riding towards Tianshui Academy.
Tianshui College.
In a spacious square, a group of young women, around twenty years old and radiating youthful energy, dressed in blue, stood in a neat row, looking with admiration at a voluptuous young woman in a light blue dress.
Shuiyue Ruo, the dean of Tianshui Academy, looked at the girls in front of her, nodded slightly, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
These are the most outstanding students of Tianshui Academy, and soon, these students will represent Tianshui Academy in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, showcasing the brilliance of Tianshui Academy.
"You are the most outstanding class in the history of Tianshui Academy in decades. Not only have you all reached the Soul Master level, but Bing'er also successfully broke through to level 46 a few days ago. If it were the previous class, you would even have been qualified to compete for the championship!"
Hearing Shui Yue Ruo's words, Shui Bing'er and the other girls in front of her all puffed out their chests, clearly extremely satisfied with their achievements.
Apart from Shui Yue'er, who was still at level 39, the rest of them had already broken through to the Soul Master level, which was an extremely high achievement in the Douluo Continent.
At their current pace, they could reach the Soul Emperor level in a maximum of ten years or so, even then they would only be in their thirties.
It's worth noting that not long ago, there was a teacher named Qin Ming at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy who broke through to the Soul Emperor level at the age of thirty-four, which already amazed many Soul Masters.
They were confident that as long as they didn't die in the future, their speed would be no less than Qin Ming's.
However, at this moment, Shui Yue Ruo suddenly poured cold water on the situation, looking coldly at the women and saying with a mocking smile, "What, feeling proud?"
Upon seeing the change in Shui Yue Ruo's expression, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the other women were all taken aback, wondering why Shui Yue Ruo would say such a thing when she seemed perfectly fine.
"In the previous edition, you certainly had the qualifications to compete for the championship, but in this edition, judging solely by strength, you probably won't even make it into the top four!" Shui Yue Ruo looked at the stunned girls and sneered.
"What!? I can't even get into the top four, this..."
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu both frowned. They were a team that was close to the entire Soul Sect, so how could they not even make it into the top four?
Shui Yue'er couldn't hold back any longer and said defiantly, "Dean, you said we can't even make it into the top four, then tell me, which teams are stronger than our Tianshui team?"
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Tianshui team all looked at Shuiyue'er, wanting to see how their dean would answer the question.
Shuiyue was overjoyed upon seeing this; these were exactly the words she had been waiting for!
However, on the surface, Shuiyue remained calm and said with a cold face, "You want to know? Very well, then I will tell you what I have learned."
"Let's start by talking about the other three elemental academies you're familiar with: Blazing Fire Academy and Thunder Academy. These two have recruited quite a few geniuses in recent years, and they are almost as strong as the entire Soul Sect. They are not much weaker than our Heavenly Water Academy."
"As for Shenfeng Academy, this year's class is even more outstanding, because the captain of this year's Shenfeng Academy is a Soul King!"
"Soul King!?"
Upon hearing this, the women were immediately shocked. The Soul King! It was actually the Soul King?
Soul Master and Soul King differ by only one word, but their strength is worlds apart.
This is not simply a matter of a few levels difference; it's also because Soul Kings often possess ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, whose power far surpasses their thousand-year Soul Skills.
Shui Bing'er was also very surprised. He was actually a Soul King. Wasn't that almost the same as her brother?
Fortunately, my brother is also going to participate in the competition with them, otherwise they would really have a hard time dealing with that Soul King.
As for whether Shui Wuhen could defeat his opponent, Shui Bing'er had no doubts, because everything that had happened since she was a child proved that her brother was the strongest!
"There is also the Star Luo Royal Team of the Star Luo Empire, whose members are all Soul Masters. Among them, the captain Davis and his fiancée Zhu Zhuyun's soul power level is no weaker than Shui Bing'er's, and they also have the Netherworld White Tiger, a martial soul fusion skill that is famous throughout the continent."
"The Spirit Hall's team this year is even more terrifying. Not only are there three members of the Golden Generation who are all at the level of Soul King, but none of the other members have a soul power level lower than 45."
...
With each sentence Shui Yue Ruo uttered, Xue Wu and the others paled further; there were so many powerful figures in this year's competition.
Even Shui Bing'er, who was confident that her brother was invincible, became serious after hearing that the Spirit Hall actually had three Soul Kings.
It wasn't that I was worried Shui Wuhen couldn't defeat the three Soul Kings from the Spirit Hall, but rather that I was worried Shui Wuhen would be held back by two of the Soul Kings, leaving the remaining Soul King to clear the field.
If things really develop that way, then things will get complicated.
"Mmm~~"
Just then, a clear bird song rang out, and the air around them seemed to grow a few degrees colder.
Upon hearing this voice, Shui Bing'er was overjoyed and quickly looked up.
On the horizon, a beautiful bird, its entire body seemingly composed of ice crystals, gracefully soared through the sky, leaving a trail of colorful snowflakes in its wake.
On the ice bird, one could vaguely see a handsome young man standing with his hands behind his back, riding the ice bird towards them.
Without a doubt, these are Water Trace and Articuno, who have just emerged from quarantine.
A moment later, Articuno carried Shui Wuhen to the top of Tianshui Academy. After scanning the area for a few moments, it landed on the plaza where the girls were.
Shui Wuhen jumped off Articuno and waved in Shui Yueruo's direction: "Dean, I'm here."
'Mmm~~'
At the same time, Articuno's body shrank rapidly, and by the time she flew onto Shui Wuhen's shoulder, she was only slightly larger than a sparrow.
"Wuhen is here."
Upon seeing Shui Wuhen arrive, Shui Yue Ruo's originally cold face softened with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, she flashed to Shui Wuhen's side, patted Shui Wuhen's shoulder, and said to the girls of the Tianshui team, "I forgot to tell you, Shui Wuhen is now also a student of Tianshui Academy. He will be going with us to Tiandou City to participate in the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er didn't react much to this, since they already knew.
Xue Wu and the others, who were learning about it for the first time, took a long time to realize what had happened.
"ah????"
