*****
In Shrek Academy, in a double dorm room, Shui Wuya sat cross-legged on the bed.
With each breath, he sighed in relief, the exhaustion of starting school now gone. From today onwards, he finally had a stable place to stay.
While others who traveled through time often possessed extraordinary abilities or came from illustrious families, his situation was different. In his case, his family had dwindled to just him.
Shui Wuya sighed deeply. The journey he had undertaken had been incredibly challenging.
The glorious moments of their family were now ancient history, dating back thousands of years.
Thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the Shui family at Tian Shui Academy was ennobled by the Tian Dou Empire. In theory, their family could be considered nobility. However, after the empire fragmented, the family lacked influential figures. The title became unrecognized, leading to their gradual decline, rendering them indistinguishable from commoners.
"Born with a rank nine and a half innate soul power, with a Martial Soul of the Ice Phoenix. It's fortunate I obtained a recommendation letter from the city lord; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come to Shrek Academy."
He muttered to himself. Fortunately, he arrived early; there was no one else in the dormitory to overhear his murmurs.
Entering Shrek Academy wasn't easy. Before the age of twelve, one's soul power level couldn't be below rank fifteen, and one needed a recommendation letter from the main city.
Without such a letter, even if the conditions were met, one couldn't join Shrek Academy.
Shui Wuya was lucky. With his rank nine and a half innate soul power, he gained the city lord's appreciation, which led to the recommendation letter.
After tidying up, he decided to meditate directly on the bed instead of resting.
Clearing his mind, Shui Wuya sensed the flow of soul power within his body and began to control its circulation.
Suddenly, his mind spun, and he found himself "seeing" another space.
It was an ancient room, adorned with a red dressing table, unmistakably a woman's chamber.
Shui Wuya hastily halted his meditation, opening his eyes only to find himself still in the dormitory, lying on the bed.
"That was just..."
Shui Wuya looked perplexed, but there was no one to provide answers.
After some hesitation, he closed his eyes and resumed his meditation.
Sure enough, the room appeared again in his "vision."
This time, Shui Wuya didn't interrupt his meditation.
In the scene, akin to a girl's chamber, there was a wooden bed beside the dressing table.
A young girl sat in meditation, her aquamarine hair cascading over the bed, her fair face adorned with delicate features.
Simultaneously, her identity appeared in Shui Wuya's mind.
"Ancestor!" Shui Wuya couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
The girl before him was none other than Shui Bing'er, from Tian Shui Academy thousands of years ago!
"Who's there!"
The girl in the scene opened her eyes, her expression alert, immediately activating her Martial Soul.
Shui Wuya also felt greatly surprised.
In his mind's eye, Shui Wuya not only saw his ancestor but also found he could communicate with her!
Being able to communicate with his ancestor from thousands of years ago, Shui Wuya's mind instantly teemed with myriad ways to utilize this ability.
He became excited and promptly attempted to use his ability again.
"Ancestor, I am your descendant from a ten thousand years later."
Upon hearing the voice once again, Shui Bing'er widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.
"A ten thousand years later?!" The words sounded utterly surreal to her.
However, Shui Bing'er could be certain that there was absolutely no one around her, and yet the voice appeared directly in her ears.
"Who are you? Are you truly my descendant?" Shui Bing'er tentatively spoke into the air.
"Of course, I know everything that's happening with you!" After hearing Shui Wuya's affirmative reply, Shui Bing'er still found it difficult to accept.
But her curiosity about what Shui Wuya knew compelled her to inquire further.
"What do you know?" she asked.
"Ancestor, how long until the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament?" Shui Wuya inquired.
Shui Bing'er almost instantly responded, "It's one year from now."
"In that tournament, the champion will be a team from Shrek Academy. Tian Shui Academy, led by you as the team captain, will encounter Shrek Academy on the field. Even if you use Martial Soul Fusion, you will only be evenly matched with them," Shui Wuya quickly explained.
"Shrek Academy? I've never heard of such a place," Shui Bing'er remarked.
"It's a newly established academy, but it's incredibly powerful and is touted to be the strongest academy on the continent's future. I am currently studying there," Shui Wuya explained to Shui Bing'er.
After listening to Shui Wuya's words, Shui Bing'er remained skeptical. Did he really say that? Wasn't it just a prank?
"So, what do you need from me?" Regardless of Shui Wuya's intentions, since he was communicating with her, he must have his own purpose.
Shui Wuya could clearly see the skepticism, astonishment, and a hint of excitement in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
Evidently, she also knew that if this were true, things would change completely.
Agreeing to Shui Wuya's request, she couldn't help but feel excited.
If Shui Bing'er had left anything behind from a ten thousand years ago, what he would gain now would be worth multiples!
There was also the Yin-Yang Ice-Fire Eyes that Tang San had discovered back then, where numerous immortal herbs grew.
"Ancestor, I hope that in the future, you will establish our family, take care of our descendants, and leave behind ancestral teachings." As Shui Bing'er's descendant, Shui Wuya had fallen to his current state because, even though Shui Bing'er inherited a title, she didn't have the consciousness to build a family.
During Shui Bing'er's youth, the family hadn't established a solid foundation. By the time they wanted to develop, they had missed the prime opportunity.
"Alright, I promise you." This request wasn't a problem for Shui Bing'er. At the same time, she also trusted Shui Wuya's identity a bit more.
This request was very fitting for someone who hailed from the future.
Almost simultaneously, a notification sounded in Shui Wuya's ears.
[Shui Bing'er's destiny undergoes a massive change. Your current identity is: Supreme Clan Shui Clan's incumbent clan head (in decline)]
[Your Martial Soul has evolved into the Extreme Ice]
[As Shui Bing'er strengthens the clan, you will receive a family property package.]
