By the time Shen Han Yu and the Snow Emperor returned to the Great Soul Arena, from not far away they could already sense two unfamiliar yet powerful auras, which were precisely the two Soul Douluo from before.
The two of them were respectively mixed in among the crowd; if it weren't for Shen Han Yu's sharp perception, they might have really been fooled.
"Pretty fast steps."
Shen Han Yu slightly narrowed his eyes and brought the Snow Emperor to land on another empty high viewing platform.
These high platforms could only be accessed by people of extremely high status and great strength. No matter how much money ordinary people had, it was useless; they were not open to outsiders at all.
Shen Han Yu and the Snow Emperor stood side by side. The Snow Emperor's beautiful eyes looked down at the bustling competition field below as she said softly:
"That Title Douluo has arrived."
From the corner of his eye, Shen Han Yu glanced over. After Sword Douluo whispered a few words into Ning Fengzhi's ear, he also disappeared from the viewing platform. Anyone with eyes could tell what he had gone to do.
From very far away, Shen Han Yu also saw Shui Ning Bing's slightly changed expression, but after she noticed Shen Han Yu and the Snow Emperor, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to arrange everything in an orderly manner.
Not far away, Shen Junhe casually glanced over while bored, then suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth with a "pfft". He lightly tugged on Qin Yi's arm and said in a low voice:
"Madam, look, isn't that Little Yu?"
Qin Yi looked over somewhat impatiently, then was immediately startled. Shen Han Yu "just happened" to turn his body sideways at the perfect moment, fully exposing the Snow Emperor beside him.
Snow-white hair cascaded down, her flawless profile was incomparably exquisite, and the aura around her was incomparably noble and cold, like a true queen who could only be viewed from afar and not profaned.
Qin Yi and Shen Junhe looked at each other; the shock in their eyes almost became tangible.
After a long while.
Qin Yi finally said faintly:
"This girl… isn't she a little too beautiful…"
Shen Junhe looked at Shen Han Yu and the Snow Emperor, who were chatting and laughing happily together, and for a moment, he was also speechless.
After all, judging from their experience and vision, the aura on that girl was definitely not something an ordinary person possessed. Combined with what Shen Han Yu had said before, Shen Junhe gave a helpless smile and said:
"I finally understand why Little Yu would say such things. Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. I think the two of us should just keep trying hard for the third child. If we rashly interfere, we might do more harm than good with good intentions."
Qin Yi rolled her eyes at Shen Junhe, but she did not deny it.
In fact, ever since their two children left home, they had been working hard on this matter, but unfortunately, after several years, there was still no result.
...
The fiery competition lasted a full four days.
During this period, more than twenty teams competed fiercely on the field. They were mainly academy teams, but there was no shortage of teams formed voluntarily by outsiders who met the conditions.
After all, the attraction of a piece of "top-grade" soul bone was no small thing. Even though this soul bone was only seven thousand years old, countless people still went crazy for it.
Today, the final battle that everyone had been waiting for was finally about to begin.
The Four Elements Academies had also been matched against the four strongest teams that had emerged after layer upon layer of selection.
The members of these four teams were generally far older than the members of the Four Elements Academies, and they had much richer combat experience. Many of them carried a thick smell of blood; they had quite a few lives on their hands. The strength of the team members was mostly at the level of high-level Great Soul Masters and above; it was not uncommon for a team to have two Soul Elders.
Just before the match, Shui Ning Bing's figure slowly appeared in the preparation area of the Skywater team.
As a newly promoted Title Douluo, the moment she appeared, she attracted countless gazes and cheers.
The other three deans of the Elements Academies looked at each other with wry smiles. The thousand-year balance of the Four Elements Academies had now been completely broken. After this continental tournament, Skywater Academy's development would become even more prosperous, and it might even surpass the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to become the number one soul master academy in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Looking at the several little girls who were already ready and raring to go, Shui Ning Bing smiled gently and said softly.
"Go have fun without worry. If you lose, it's no problem… but you should prepare your little butts for several months without touching a bed…"
A trace of terror appeared on the seven girls' faces. They had suffered no small amount of torment from Shui Ning Bing. Even Shen Liu Yu and Shui Bing'er couldn't help but take a step back and swallow hard.
The current strength of the Skywater team was quite good. Thanks to having such a wealthy older brother as Shen Han Yu, Shen Liu Yu's cultivation had already approached the Soul King level. With the support of her water-earth dual attribute martial soul, she could even contend with ordinary Soul Kings.
Although Shui Bing'er's progress had been slightly slower due to the influence of her extreme attribute, her complete Ice Phoenix martial soul already possessed sufficient suppressive power.
Shui Yue'er was also full of determination. Ever since their trip to the Far North, she had improved considerably, and her mentality was slowly maturing.
The other four were a few years older and were all at the Great Soul Master level. Each one had been carefully taught by Shui Ning Bing and several veteran teachers; whether in terms of temperament or cultivation speed, they were undoubtedly the top sequence of Skywater Academy.
The students from the other three academies had also begun to get eager to try. The members of the four teams that had emerged victorious after selection had already arrived at the preparation seats and were making final preparations.
...
High in the air.
The little deer standing on the flying platform tirelessly introduced the basic information of the eight teams, while also announcing the order in which the teams would appear.
Shen Han Yu and the Snow Emperor had been staying near the Great Soul Arena these past few days. Sword Douluo had only disappeared for less than an hour on the first day before returning; it seemed he had merely gone to confirm something. After that, he stayed close to Ning Fengzhi without leaving even half a step.
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to have simply taken up residence in the Spirit Hall branch near the Soul Arena. After several days, he surprisingly hadn't made the slightest move.
Shen Han Yu even began to suspect whether this guy had been scared into some kind of problem.
On the other hand, those few subordinates had almost toured the entire Elements City, even sparing no nearby villages, but it seemed they hadn't obtained any useful information. Both Skywater Academy and the Great Soul Arena had Title Douluo stationed there, so they had no opportunity to inquire or make a move. It seemed the situation had reached a stalemate in places unseen by others.
The Snow Emperor showed no impatience at all. Every day, she simply followed Shen Han Yu to sit on a top-floor terrace, drink some tea, and occasionally watch a few matches to pass the time.
"You don't seem anxious at all."
The Snow Emperor looked at the leisurely Shen Han Yu and said softly.
Shen Han Yu listened to the cheers coming from not far away, smiled, and said:
"We're not in a hurry. Someone else will be. We have plenty of time to spend, but they don't. The game between cat and mouse is just like this, boring yet full of variables. No one knows what the other side will do next."
The sunlight slowly moved to the center of the sky. Shen Han Yu slowly sat up. The Snow Emperor was still holding an ancient book and flipping through it. Shen Han Yu stretched lazily and said:
"Let's go. The interesting part is about to begin…"
