"Sister, I need to practice now, please excuse yourself," Shui Wuya indicated for her to leave.
Ling Luochen wanted to ask something else, but Han Feng directly stood in front of Shui Wuya, implying she should leave.
Seeing Han Feng's gesture, Ling Luochen kept her questions to herself.
"Alright, we'll meet again." The smile vanished from Ling Luochen's face.
Shui Wuya's dismissal left her quite unhappy. She couldn't understand why they were so concerned about just a genius.
Leaving the dorm, Ling Luochen returned to her room and relayed the conversation back to her family.
"Forget it, it's just a task from the family. I don't need to be too concerned about him." Ling Luochen calmed herself, though still feeling displeased.
"Ma Xiaotao, and everyone around Ma Xiaotao, none of them are likable."
Crack...
The table was frozen into ice crystals by Ling Luochen's anger.
...
"Hey, you're going to practice now?"
After Ling Luochen left, Shui Wuya sent Han Feng away and began to meditate cross-legged.
At this moment, the Dream Ice Silkworm appeared on Shui Wuya's bed.
With her mental strength fully restored, this time she appeared in human form.
With a petite body, snow-white short hair, and eyes sparkling with golden light, it must be said that the Dream Ice Silkworm had very high aesthetics.
Shui Wuya didn't know whose form the Dream Ice Silkworm had taken when assuming human form.
Unexpectedly, Dream, who had a feud with the Tianmeng Iceworm, turned out to be female...
This led Shui Wuya to speculate about other aspects.
"Yeah, I'm going to practice. Is there a problem?" Shui Wuya glanced at Dream, ignoring her threatening appearance.
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you say you were going to take me to see the Tianmeng Iceworm? You're not going back on your word, are you?" Dream frowned.
"With your current lifespan being so low, why are you so anxious to see him? I don't know what grievances you have with him. If he slaps you to death, I'll be the one in trouble." Shui Wuya squinted.
"Or, you tell me, what's the situation between you two? Every detail, all of it." Shui Wuya said each word slowly and clearly. "Don't leave anything out."
Hearing Shui Wuya's demand, Dream snorted coldly and disappeared in front of Shui Wuya.
"Tsk, you're not willing to say anything?" Shui Wuya sighed helplessly.
He had no idea how much power the Tianmeng Iceworm still had at the moment.
Without capturing the Ice Emperor, had the remnants of the Tianmeng Iceworm's power been consumed?
If not, with Dream holding the remnants as a trump card, even the Ice Emperor, with a lifespan of four hundred thousand years, wouldn't be able to contend with the power that Tianmeng could burst out with using those remnants.
As his thoughts shifted, Shui Wuya didn't want to dwell on these matters and continued to focus on his cultivation.
Strength was everything.
...
As Shui Wuya didn't join the preparatory team, the final roster confirmed by the preparatory team was exactly the same as in the original story.
A few days later, several members of the Shrek preparatory team were summoned to the inner courtyard to hear Wang Yan explain the precautions for the Soul Master Tournament.
"This time, the members of your preparatory team are only here to observe, so you don't need to worry." Wang Yan's gaze swept over the group below. "No wandering around."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately retracted his head and then asked, "Teacher, what about Wuya?"
He knew that Shui Wuya had already returned to the academy, which meant that Shui Wuya was already a Soul King.
So, there was no reason for the Shrek Academy's preparatory team to exclude Shui Wuya.
But as Huo Yuhao looked around, he didn't see Shui Wuya's figure at all, hence his question.
"Shui Wuya doesn't need to participate in the preparatory team's selection. His status is equivalent to that of a preparatory team member, so he didn't come today."
With Wang Yan's explanation, everyone was shocked.
Indeed, he was a genius, completely different from the rest of them.
"I can't believe it..." Huo Yuhao was also shocked.
"I can't believe it..." Huo Yuhao was also shocked.
"That kid is already a Soul King. He could participate in the competition as a formal member. It's reasonable to have such an arrangement." The voice of the Tianmeng Iceworm appeared in Huo Yuhao's ear.
Wang Yan looked at the shocked crowd below, knowing the insider's perspective, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Shui Wuya had refused Yan Shaozhe's invitation. The treatment of this preparatory team member was still something Yan Shaozhe had fought for.
Otherwise, Shui Wuya's refusal to join the preparatory team might have caused a stir in the academy.
...
While Wang Yan was speaking in the inner courtyard, Xu Sanshi had just received a message from the Xuanming Sect inviting Shui Wuya to join.
After class, Xu Sanshi headed towards Shui Wuya's dormitory.
At this moment, while Shui Wuya was practicing, he suddenly heard a notification sound.
[The destiny of Shui Bing'er has changed. You are now a Level 5 Soul Engineer.]
[You have obtained a self-created soul skill of the Mental System - Soul Power Network.]
This notification interrupted Wu Shui Wuya's cultivation.
"What's going on?
I haven't done anything recently." Shui Wuya opened his eyes in confusion, wondering why Shui Bing'er's destiny had suddenly changed.
From the additional memories, he mastered the Mental System soul skill Soul Power Network, as well as many methods and experiences of making soul devices.
The effect of the Soul Power Network soul skill was closely related to the production of soul devices.
It greatly enhanced the control over soul power, halved the consumption of the same soul skill, and increased its power by several times. It also had remarkable effects in refining soul devices.
Rather than calling it a soul skill, it was more like a special soul guidance technique.
In Shui Wuya's eyes, Han Feng's body seemed to be composed of thin threads of soul power, which were his meridians. The soul power fire continuously gathered at his dantian. When it condensed into a soul crystal, it would be the moment he broke through the titled Douluo.
This ability was much stronger than the Purple Demon Eye.
Wu Yayu calmed down.
He first sorted out the changes that had occurred in his body, then entered a meditative state to communicate with Shui Bing'er.
He wanted to know what had happened.
The scene appeared again, but this time it wasn't in Shui Bing'er's room or in a secret place.
Instead, it was in a place that looked very much like a blacksmith's shop.
However, this blacksmith's shop only had Shui Bing'er alone.
"Ancestor, what are you doing here?" Shui Wuya's voice appeared.
Shui Bing'er was in a very good mood at the moment, holding a miniaturized version of a soul cannon in her hand. When she heard Wu Yayu's voice, she was overjoyed and said, "It seems like I've made a soul device. According to what you said, does this mean I've become a soul engineer?"
Shui Wuya hurriedly looked at the thing in Shui Bing'er's hand. According to the standards of soul devices in his memory, he carefully observed the patterns carved on the soul device.
Then, he had Shui Bing'er conduct various tests on the soul device. Afterward, he was extremely surprised.
This was a Level 1 soul device!
"Yes, you can now be considered a Level 1 soul engineer." Shui Wuya's mood was very complicated.
He had only given Shui Bing'er some soul devices, and not long after, Shui Bing'er had become a Level 1 soul engineer. Such talent would surely attract the attention of the Soul Engineering Department at Shrek Academy.
"Hmph, as expected of me." Shui Bing'er was very proud. "The soul devices you gave me are very useful. In the future, I will make sure that everyone in the family learns to make these things."
"Definitely!"
Hearing the firmness in Shui Bing'er's tone, Shui Wuya suddenly understood why there was a soul skill like Soul Power Network...
