After sorting some clothes, Shui Wuhen patted the Articuno beside him and said, "Articuno, let's go to Tianshui Academy."
"Woo~~"
Articuno let out a long cry. Its body quickly shrank from about two meters back to its previous size.
Tap~
Shui Wuhen put his hands behind his back, lightly pushed off the ground, and skillfully jumped onto Articuno's body, riding toward Tianshui Academy.
Tianshui Academy.
On a wide plaza, a group of blue-clothed girls around twenty years old, full of youthful energy, stood neatly in a row. They looked at the plump middle-aged woman in a water-blue long dress in front of them with eyes full of respect.
As the dean of Tianshui Academy, Shui Yue'er looked at the girls in front of her and nodded slightly. A trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
These were the most outstanding students of Tianshui Academy. Soon, they would represent the academy in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament and show the academy's glory.
"You are the most outstanding class Tianshui Academy has had in decades. Not only have most of you reached Spirit Ancestor, but Bing'er even broke through to Level 46 a few days ago. If it were the previous tournament, you would even have the qualification to compete for the championship!"
Hearing Shui Yue'er's words, Shui Bing'er and the other girls straightened their backs, clearly very satisfied with their achievements.
Except for Shui Yue'er, who was still Level 39, the rest had already broken through to Spirit Ancestor. On the Douluo Continent, this was already a very high achievement.
At their current speed, in at most ten more years, they could aim for Spirit Emperor. Even then, they would only be in their thirties.
Not long ago, at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a teacher named Qin Ming broke through to Spirit Emperor at the age of thirty-four, which had already shocked many Spirit Masters.
They were confident that as long as they did not die in the future, their speed would not be much slower than Qin Ming's.
However, at this moment, Shui Yue'er suddenly poured cold water on them. She looked at the girls coldly and said with a mocking smile, "What? Feeling proud?"
Seeing her change in expression, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others were stunned. They did not understand why she suddenly said this.
"If it were the previous tournament, you indeed had the qualification to compete for the championship. But in this one, based on strength alone, you probably can't even enter the top four!" Shui Yue'er said with a cold laugh.
"What!? Not even the top four? This…"
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu frowned. They were almost an all–Spirit Ancestor team. How could they not even make the top four?
Shui Yue'er could not hold back and said unwillingly, "Dean, if you say we can't even make the top four, then tell us which teams are stronger than Tianshui!"
As soon as she spoke, the other members of the Tianshui Team all looked at Shui Yue'er, wanting to hear her answer.
Shui Yue'er was secretly delighted. This was exactly the sentence she was waiting for!
But on the surface, she remained calm and said coldly, "You want to know? Fine. Then I'll tell you the information I've received."
"Let's start with the other three elemental academies you are familiar with. Blazing Academy and Thunderclap Academy have recruited many geniuses in recent years. They are also close to being full–Spirit Ancestor teams, not much weaker than Tianshui Academy."
"As for Godwind Academy, they have done even better this time. Their team captain is a Spirit King!"
"Spirit King!?"
As soon as these words came out, the girls were shocked. A Spirit King!?
There was only one word difference between Spirit Ancestor and Spirit King, but the strength gap was like heaven and earth.
It was not just a few levels of difference. A Spirit King could usually have a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring. Its power was far stronger than their thousand-year Spirit Skills.
Shui Bing'er was also shocked. A Spirit King? Wouldn't that be almost the same as her brother?
Luckily, her brother would also participate in the tournament with them. Otherwise, they would have a hard time dealing with that Spirit King.
As for whether Shui Wuhen could defeat the opponent, Shui Bing'er had no doubt. Since childhood, everything had proven that her brother was the strongest!
"There's also the Star Luo Royal Team from the Star Luo Empire. All of them are Spirit Ancestors. Their captain Dai Mubai and his fiancée Zhu Zhuyun are not weaker than Shui Bing'er in spirit power. They also have the famous martial soul fusion skill, Nether White Tiger."
"The team from Spirit Hall is even more terrifying this time. Not only has the Golden Generation reached Spirit King level, but none of the other members have spirit power below Level 45."
...
With every sentence Shui Yue'er spoke, Xue Wu and the others turned paler. There were so many strong opponents in this tournament.
Even Shui Bing'er, who believed her brother was invincible, became serious when she heard that Spirit Hall had three Spirit Kings.
It was not that she was worried Shui Wuhen could not defeat the three Spirit Kings of Spirit Hall, but that two of them might hold him back while the third cleared the field.
If it really developed like that, things would become troublesome.
"Woo~~"
At this moment, a clear bird cry sounded. Even the air around them seemed to become colder.
When Shui Bing'er heard the sound, her heart was filled with joy. She quickly looked up.
In the sky, a beautiful giant bird that looked like it was made of ice crystals soared gracefully. Wherever it passed, it left behind a colorful ribbon of snowflakes.
On the back of the ice bird stood a handsome young man with his hands behind his back, riding toward them.
Without question, it was Shui Wuhen and Articuno, who had just come out of seclusion.
Moments later, Articuno carried Shui Wuhen above Tianshui Academy. After glancing around, it landed on the plaza where the girls stood.
Shui Wuhen jumped down from Articuno and greeted Shui Yue'er, "Dean, I'm here."
"Woo~~"
At the same time, Articuno's body quickly shrank. By the time it flew onto Shui Wuhen's shoulder, it was only slightly bigger than a sparrow.
"Wuhen, you're here."
Seeing Shui Wuhen arrive, the cold expression on Shui Yue'er's face softened with a smile.
Then she flashed to his side, patted his 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. Next, he will go with us to Heaven Dou City to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er did not react much, since they already knew.
But Xue Wu and the others, who had just learned this for the first time, took a long time to react.
"Ah????"
