After dealing with the robbers, Gu Yuena continued her journey.
She came to a secluded valley and suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
"This aura..."
Gu Yuena's purple eyes narrowed slightly, and then she flew towards a magnificent waterfall that stretched from the sky to the ground.
Upon arriving at the waterfall, Gu Yuena's lips curled into a subtle, enigmatic smile.
"Child's play!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand lightly, and an invisible surge of soul power was released, directly empowering the raging waterfall.
It is shocking.
Under Gu Yuena's soul power, the cascading waterfall suddenly froze.
It felt as if time and space had stopped at that moment.
The next moment, Gu Yuena lightly touched the ground with her feet and flew into the sky.
Before long, he arrived at the middle of the waterfall. With a casual swipe of his hand, he cut off the flow of water, revealing the rock wall behind it.
Then, Gu Yuena gently pressed against the rock wall.
"Boom..."
Immediately afterwards, a rock that looked perfectly sealed was found to have sunk in, revealing a doorway.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena didn't hesitate. With a flash, she entered the portal.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Yuena found herself inside a cave.
The cave was very large and dark.
With a casual wave of her hand, Gu Yuena produced a pale gold gem in her palm, instantly illuminating the entire cave.
Then, she walked straight into the depths of the cave.
Before long, the man arrived at a stone chamber.
The stone chamber was completely empty, devoid of any furnishings.
But at the very front, there was a small mound.
At that moment, on that small mound, a slender blue silver grass was swaying in the wind.
This blue silver grass looks a bit longer than ordinary grass leaves.
Most remarkably, its blades of grass have fine golden veins.
"A Blue Silver Emperor that's a hundred thousand years old?"
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on the blue silver grass.
With her strength, she naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of the Blue Silver Grass at a glance. She had sensed its aura in the valley earlier and followed the aura to this place.
"It appears to have been sacrificed for humanity, and the remaining seeds have regained a glimmer of life."
"How foolish!"
Gu Yuena sighed deeply.
"There's still a chance of survival. Since that's the case, I'll keep it with me!"
After a moment's thought, Gu Yuena took the Blue Silver Emperor from the mound, intending to nurture it and see if she could help it revive.
Soon, Gu Yuena emerged from the cave.
Sensing something, he turned his gaze and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City.
Although they were far apart, she could sense Yu Tianqing's bloodline aura.
Then, Gu Yuena didn't linger and continued forward following that faint aura.
...
Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, at Blue Tyrant Academy.
Yu Tianqing, Shui Bing'er, and the others had just finished training.
During these days of training, the women have all noticed that Shui Bing'er's martial soul has become different from before, and is more sacred and powerful!
It was only later that we learned that Shui Bing'er's top-tier beast spirit, the Ice Phoenix, had evolved into the Extreme Ice Phoenix!
Although they didn't ask, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling already knew the answer.
It must have been with Yu Tianqing's help that Shui Bing'er's martial soul was able to successfully evolve.
After all, their martial spirits are the same.
"Tianqing, thank you!"
Shui Bing'er approached Yu Tianqing and said with a grateful expression.
Yu Tianqing, slightly helpless, responded:
"Sister Bing'er, your martial spirit has evolved for quite some time now, why are you still thanking me all the time?"
"Didn't I already tell you? You don't need to be so polite with me!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er smiled somewhat awkwardly.
After her martial soul evolved, it acquired the attribute of extreme ice, and its power was more than one level higher than the previous Ice Phoenix martial soul.
After a slight pause, Shui Bing'er then said:
"No matter what, it's all thanks to you, Tianqing."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never be able to evolve my martial soul in this lifetime."
Hearing what Shui Bing'er said, Yu Tianqing narrowed his eyes slightly and joked:
"In that case, Sister Bing'er, how do you plan to thank me? You won't just say it, will you?"
"ah?"
Shui Bing'er was caught off guard by Yu Tianqing's words.
Just now, Yu Tianqing was telling her not to be polite with him, how come he changed his mind in the blink of an eye?
"Tianqing, how...how do you want me to thank you?"
After a moment of silence, Shui Bing'er asked hesitantly.
Seeing this, Yu Tianqing was both amused and exasperated. He had only been joking with Shui Bing'er, but she had taken it seriously.
"Why don't you offer yourself to me, Sister Bing'er?"
As soon as Yu Tianqing spoke, Shui Bing'er was shocked, and her cheeks quickly flushed red.
She paused for a moment, bit her lip lightly, and was about to nod in agreement.
Just then, Shuiyue'er and the others approached the two of them, laughing and joking.
"Sister, what sweet nothings are you and Tianqing saying to each other again?"
"These past few days, I've felt that you two are acting a bit strange!"
Shui Yue'er glanced at Shui Bing'er.
"Huh? Is there...is there?"
Shui Bing'er appeared slightly flustered and dared not look at Shui Yue'er and the other girls.
At this moment, Dugu Yan also joked:
"Bing'er, it's broad daylight, you and Tianqing should be more mindful of the impact."
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er became even more flustered and quickly glanced at Yu Tianqing.
She didn't want to be teased by the women any longer.
Upon receiving Shui Bing'er's gaze, Yu Tianqing coughed lightly twice: "Cough cough!"
Then, he got back to the main point:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the competition is about to begin!"
"We should give our team a name!"
After Yu Tianqing said this, Dugu Yan and the other girls all nodded and then began to express their own opinions.
"How about we call it the Azure Green Team?"
Dugu Yan was the first to make the suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Dugu Yan and said:
"Yanyan, are you... are you doing this just to find a name for her?"
Before Dugu Yan could reply, Shui Yue'er asked, "Should we call it the Moon Green Team?"
Upon hearing what Shuiyue'er said, all the women shook their heads.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er suddenly suggested:
"Our team is centered around Tianqing, so how about we call ourselves the Tianqing Team? What do you think?"
Dugu Yan and the others had no objections to this, but Yu Tianqing raised an eyebrow and said:
"Named after me?"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Shui Bing'er blinked her large, icy blue eyes and smiled at Yu Tianqing, saying:
"What's wrong with that? We all follow your lead!"
Yu Tianqing was taken aback, appearing deep in thought.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then... how about we call it the Azure Dragon Team? What do you think?"
