Time advanced rapidly with the turning of the seasons, swift and traceless, as if in the blink of an eye, only a mere half month remained until the preliminaries of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
During this period, while the team members of other academies were still intensely studying and cultivating, the girls of Tianshui Academy had already begun their vacation life, wholeheartedly starting to play and relax. No trace of tension or urgency could be seen on them at all, only full confidence and casualness.
Shui Ningbing didn't say much either and gave herself a short break, going around crazily playing with the girls. Her lively appearance made it impossible to tell she was approaching fifty years old.
But this was understandable. Compared to ordinary people, Titled Douluo already had extremely long lifespans. Changing one's appearance was effortless, and powerful soul power also delayed the aging of various organs, preserving the vitality unique to young life. This was probably one of the reasons so many people cultivated with all their might…
Once Shui Ningbing left, You Mengchu became even busier. The resentment gathering around her seemed ready to punch through the roof, but since the academy's operation depended on her, the highest authority second only to Shui Ningbing, she had no choice but to turn her hatred into motivation to deal with the workload that seemed to multiply almost daily…
In the past period of time, Shui Yue'er successfully broke through to the Soul King level. Shui Ningbing took her to hunt a Silvermoon Long-kissed Whale of around twenty-five thousand years, successfully elevating her martial soul another level once again. After Hai Xi's examination, it was discovered that Shui Yue'er's martial soul bloodline had reached a very special stage. With sufficient stimulation to awaken the bloodline, there was a high possibility her martial soul would evolve into a true mermaid.
Of course, exactly what it would evolve into was impossible for anyone to determine for certain, because currently on the continent, Shui Yue'er was the only soul master to elevate the Yingyu Sea Dolphin martial soul bloodline to such a degree.
But Hai Xi had her own opinion. She very much hoped that Shui Yue'er's martial soul could ultimately evolve into the Mermaid Queen. Although she didn't know the specific reason, having the idea was always good. As for how to put it into practice, that would have to be slowly explored later…
Apart from Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu and Gu Qingbo had also stepped into the Soul King level. The other two were high-ranking Soul Ancestors above level forty-five. Such strength would place them in the first tier among all soul master teams.
As for Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er, Shen Han Yu had originally planned to let them improve a bit more, but considering both girls were still quite young, he simply set it aside for the time being.
Otherwise, with Shen Han Yu's methods, a strong-attack system Battle Soul Douluo with two ten-thousand-year soul rings paired with an extreme ice super beast martial soul Ice Phoenix, a dual cultivation strong-attack and control system Battle Soul Saint, probably even a ninety-third rank Titled Douluo wouldn't be enough to beat them, let alone a bunch of small fry at the Soul Emperor or Soul King level…
Now, hiding had completely lost all meaning, even necessity. What awaited the other teams under the sunlight was something they probably could never imagine…
…
But just as everyone began looking forward to the soul master competition soon to come, another bombshell exploded, leaving even Shen Han Yu somewhat incredulous. He personally went to verify it before reluctantly believing it.
It turned out that not long ago, merchant caravans lingering at the edge between the continent and the extreme south, along with Tianshui Academy's informants, suddenly discovered a large group of island domain people arriving by ship from the deep sea region.
After the leading teacher boldly went to confirm, he was somewhat dumbfounded to find that these people were apparently all from their own vice dean's clan. The old man leading them, who looked completely unserious, was actually his vice dean's grandfather.
The whole group was so shocked that they sent people overnight to deliver the message, rushing day and night, nearly running the pants off themselves, finally managing to deliver the news back to Element City in time.
When You Mengchu found out, she slapped Shui Ningbing's favorite white jade table into fragments with one palm. Then she hugged the Demon Empress beside her and fiercely kissed her. After the kiss, she even smacked her lips, scaring the Demon Empress so badly that for three days she didn't dare approach within a hundred meters of You Mengchu. A powerhouse comparable to a Limit Douluo was actually forced into hiding east and west.
"And as the Demon Empress's personal little cotton-padded jacket, Lan Fozi at first found it hard to accept… but the very next second she was already seriously considering whether she should maybe get one more mom."
One could only say, the little padded jacket had gone moldy…
(Demonic Whale King, your wife is about to be stolen, how do you feel!)
Regarding this matter, You Mengchu didn't take it seriously at all. In her excited mood, that very afternoon, because she was too agitated and didn't control her strength, she kicked a newly built stone statue of Shui Ningbing into rubble, infuriating Shui Ningbing so much she gritted her teeth, almost directly xxoo-ing You Mengchu…
Shen Han Yu was also somewhat pleasantly surprised, inexplicably thinking of the now leisurely retired Dugu Bo, and inexplicably began imagining what the two old men would look like together…
Ahem, back to the main topic…
The speed of You Yanshan's group truly surprised Shen Han Yu a little. One must know that the distance between the island domain and the continent was quite considerable, and the problems and crises they faced were numerous. If someone got injured, it would be a small issue, but if they encountered an attack by a group of sea soul beasts, even with You Yanshan, a ninety-sixth rank super Douluo, alone, it would be impossible to protect everyone…
But fortunately, they seemed to have methods to cope on their side. From the messages sent back, at least no major problems had occurred.
After the shock passed, Shen Han Yu and You Mengchu briefly discussed it. Then, Shui Ningbing helplessly returned to her work post, while You Mengchu took several teachers who also possessed flight capabilities and headed south. Shen Han Yu went to replan the future residence for the You family members.
Now, due to the departure of Spirit Hall and Elephant Armor Sect (Elephant Armor Academy), a large area of land had become vacant inside Element City, and it happened to come in handy now.
After giving the workers enough gold soul coins to add an extreme speed buff, Shen Han Yu also planned out a piece of land outside the city near the mountain forest, preparing to build a mountain stronghold-style construction. At the same time, he used gold soul coins to hire nearby farmers to reclaim large amounts of land, which could later be left for the You family members to plant medicinal herbs…
After finishing all this, Shen Han Yu settled down again. With the preliminaries imminent, Shui Ningbing had already begun planning the personnel for this trip as well as other preparations.
After some discussion, the final confirmed personnel were as follows.
Shen Han Yu and Snow Empress naturally would not be absent. Next came the seven girls, plus Lan Fozi and Bai Nian. Shui Ningbing would also accompany them. Those staying behind at the academy were Xiao Bai and the Demon Empress. During this period, the Demon Empress would naturally have to act as free labor until You Mengchu returned, but this process would probably still take some time…
Not long ago, Dugu Bo had taken Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who was on the verge of a breakthrough back to Heaven Dou City. In the past year, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had more or less come to understand some things. After this competition, they would likely officially join Tianshui Academy, but for now, they were still among the most important members of the Imperial Fighting Team.
And Shen Han Yu's side had also finished preparations. Early that morning, along with the slow opening of Element City's huge and thick city gates, luxurious carriages engraved with Tianshui Academy's brand-new school emblem drove out one after another, then headed toward Heaven Dou City.
Shen Han Yu and Snow Empress sat in the leading carriage. Shen Liuyu and the other girls sat in the middle carriages. The accompanying personnel and Shui Ningbing were slightly toward the rear, distributed evenly to guard against any unexpected situations.
Inside the comfortable and spacious carriage, Shen Han Yu leaned one hand on the windowsill, lazily gazing at the unchanging fields outside. Snow Empress sat on the other side, gently turning the pages of the book in her hand.
"After this short, leisurely journey, I think we probably won't be able to relax for a very long time, right?"
Snow Empress asked softly, then glanced at Shen Han Yu.
Shen Han Yu nodded and said:
"Pretty much. At least from the current view, yes. The empire is changing hands, Spirit Hall will also start eliminating dissidents, and war is imminent. Peace is impossible…"
Snow Empress pursed her lips and said no more. She was somewhat tired of all this so-called struggle. She just wanted to live a peaceful life with Shen Han Yu; that was what she truly longed for…
Shen Han Yu felt helpless about this, but given the force of circumstances, probably only after completely ending all of this could their wish be fulfilled…
