Tian Shui Academy, Godwind Academy, and Blazing Academy, along with their combined group, left the City of Martial Souls, totaling nearly fifty people.
With such a large group, it would be difficult to hide their movements from the Martial Spirit Palace.
So, since yesterday's events, Bibi Dong had thought of Tian Shui Academy, this formidable academy team that posed a significant threat to their Martial Spirit Palace.
Initially, she had considered attempting to win them over, but she heard that the three academies had already left Martial Soul City together.
This attitude conveyed to the Martial Spirit Hall that not only did they not want to join the Martial Spirit Palace's camp, but they were also consciously on guard.
"Bold!" Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold as frost.
Since they were so ungrateful, there was no need for their existence.
...
Shui Wuya checked on Shui Bing'er's situation and was surprised to find that a Titled Douluo had already confronted the three academies!
At this moment, the teachers leading the Godwind Academy and Blazing Academy were hiding behind the two deans of Tian Shui Academy, their expressions fearful.
Who would have thought that the Titled Douluo from the Martial Spirit Palace had caught up to them?
Titled Douluos stood at the pinnacle of the continent. With just these people, they were definitely no match for a Titled Douluo.
The Martial Spirit Palace knew the combat power of these people and sending a Titled Douluo was enough to show how seriously they were taken.
"The City of Martial Soul has undergone a major change, with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast appearing on the competition grounds. Yet you three major academies, instead of staying to help deal with the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, sneakily slipped away. Have you forgotten your identity as humans?" The Titled Douluo immediately accused them upon arrival.
Shui Wuya only knew that the opponent wasn't a Ghost Douluo or a Chrysanthemum Douluo. However, with so many Titled Douluos in the Martial Soul Palace, Shui Wuya hadn't seen them personally, so he couldn't provide Shui Bing'er with any intelligence advantage.
"We encountered an incident within our academy. Regarding this matter, when we return to the academy, we will naturally explain to the Martial Spirit Palace. But to dispatch a Titled Douluo to intercept us, the Martial Spirit Palace is clearly overestimating us."
The dean of Tian Shui Academy stood fearlessly at the forefront, impassioned.
"Perhaps you didn't come here to hold us accountable, but for us instead."
"Unexpectedly, such a mighty Martial Spirit Palace can't handle defeat and resorts to exterminating the victors. If this were to spread, the repercussions would be immense. Can you bear the consequences?"
Shui Wuya calmly observed, aware that everyone understood each other's intentions, yet they would still resort to violence after saying these words.
He also understood the thoughts of the dean of Tian Shui Academy. It would be best not to engage in a fight if it could be avoided.
But how could a prestigious Titled Douluo fear the threat of Soul Douluos?
"You're all going to die, and the news won't spread." With that, the Titled Douluo immediately attacked.
Shui Wuya saw a serpent spear in the opponent's hand and instantly recognized the identity of the opponent: Yu Long.
A ninety-second level Titled Douluo.
Yu Long's movements were extremely fast, but the dean of Tian Shui Academy was well-prepared!
It was only at this moment that Shui Wuya realized the deeper purpose of their interaction with Yu Long— it was actually to delay time for their Soul Fusion Skill!
As the saying goes, old tricks are the best!
The dean and vice-dean of Tian Shui Academy could perform Soul Fusion Skills, as Shui Wuya had known before, so he wasn't worried.
The surrounding environment visibly began to mist up, not only obscuring everyone's vision but also restricting Yu Long's movements.
Faintly, Shui Wuya seemed to see a water dragon within the mist!
Then, the illusory water dragon engaged in a fierce battle with Yu Long, the two Soul Douluos deploying their Soul Fusion Skills. Surprisingly, Yu Long, alone, was at a disadvantage and not the opponent!
The battle continued, and the mist grew thicker! Shui Wuya found that his own vision was also affected, unable to see clearly the situation within the mist.
Vaguely, he saw the water dragon suddenly swing its tail, and then, Yu Long's figure disappeared.
As time passed, the mist gradually dissipated, and the figure of the dean of Tian Shui Academy reappeared in front of everyone.
His face was noticeably paler compared to before.
"Yu Long has been repelled by us. Let's take advantage of this time to hurry on our way!" The dean urged anxiously.
The people from the two academies were all shocked by the strength of the Tian Shui Academy's dean and vice-dean, and for a while, they couldn't regain their senses.
After a good while, they finally reacted and hastened their journey.
...
"Boss? Boss, class is over."
A familiar voice sounded in Shui Wuya's ears, prompting him to reluctantly open his eyes to see Xu Sanshi sitting beside him.
"No wonder the boss's strength is so strong that he has to prioritize cultivation even during class time. I feel inferior," Xu Sanshi said with admiration.
Shui Wuya remained expressionless. "You're so much older than me, yet you call me 'boss'?"
"In front of the boss, with your noble status, I can only be a little brother, right?" Xu Sanshi said respectfully.
He now genuinely admired Shui Wuya.
His strength and talent completely surpassed him.
Xu Sanshi was in the sixth grade, but he lacked confidence when facing Shui Wuya.
He had no doubt that in actual combat, Shui Wuya could easily break through his defense.
Being younger, stronger, and of higher status, Xu Sanshi felt that there was nothing wrong with calling him 'boss.'
However, the cold presence of Han Feng standing behind Xu Sanshi sent shivers down his spine.
Han Feng standing behind Xu Sanshi was like a block of ice.
Shui Wuya didn't say much. If Xu Sanshi liked calling him that, then let it be.
By calling him that, Xu Sanshi was still reaching for a higher position due to the relationship between the Xuanming Sect and the Shui Family.
On the second day of the sixth grade, Shui Wuya entered the classroom and saw Xu Sanshi waving to him.
Surprisingly, Xu Sanshi had reserved the best seat by the window for him.
Shui Wuya didn't hesitate to take the seat.
For the next few days, it was like this. Xu Sanshi's attitude toward Shui Wuya also surprised the classmates.
"Cough cough, today, we will discuss common stances and how to better connect our soul skills," the teacher lectured while keeping an eye on Shui Wuya.
He had been watching this promoted student for a long time.
Every time he came to class, he seemed to be in meditation with his eyes closed, completely ignoring the lesson.
He showed no respect to the teacher!
But considering that this was a student arranged by Yan Shaozhe, the teacher could only pretend not to see it.
Apart from Shui Wuya, the other students in the class were very attentive during the lesson.
However, just as the teacher was speaking, Shui Wuya suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"Shui Wuya, what's wrong?" Shui Wuya's sudden movement interrupted the teacher's lesson.
Facing the teacher's inquiry, Shui Wuya didn't speak. Just now, he had broken through.
