"Sister, what are you doing?"
Shui Yue'er walked into her older sister Shui Bing'er's room without reservation, casually sitting on the soft bed and curiously asking as she watched her sister flipping through a small book at the desk.
"I'm studying tomorrow's opponent for the match." Shui Bing'er's gaze stayed on the opponent's information on the desk, casually replying to her sister.
"Sister, you're taking it too seriously, aren't you? Tomorrow's opponent is just a mid-ranking team with only one Spirit Ancestor. How could they be a threat to our Skywater Team? There's no need to study them." Shui Yue'er said lazily, lying down on the bed and stretching lazily.
Currently, the matches in the Heaven Dou City have reached the halfway mark, and their Skywater Team has been winning consecutively without a single loss.
Moreover, in the past half month, Skywater Academy had also encountered two teams from the Five Element Academies. They were the Elephant Armored Team and the Thunderclap Team, and both matches ended in absolute victories for them.
There was no doubt that besides the rising Shrek Team and the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team represented by Zeng Yi, this Skywater female team was undoubtedly a very strong team, on par with the strength of the two teams mentioned earlier.
At the midway point of the preliminaries, the current record of the Shrek Team was undefeated.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team had lost a match because Zeng Yi was absent, but considering Zeng Yi's overwhelming strength and the fact that he fought alone, everyone was well aware that the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team was undoubtedly the strongest team in the Heaven Dou District.
The Skywater Team also had an undefeated record so far.
Of course, the Skywater Team had not yet encountered the Shrek Team or the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team. But even if they were to lose, they would still secure a spot to advance.
This was not to say that they disregarded the other four teams from the other elemental academies, but rather the audience's eyes were keen. Everyone believed that among the Five Element Academies, no team could surpass the Skywater Academy's female team.
In the eyes of the audience, these three teams had already secured a spot to advance.
And because the Skywater Team was composed of young, beautiful, and vibrant girls, every match they played had the highest level of excitement and cheers.
Watching these youthful and lively beauties sweat on the arena.
Their long, slender legs covered in silk stockings,
No, it was the shimmering cold light of ice blades, the swirling snowflakes, and the gorgeous display of spirit skills that made this scorching weather feel much cooler. The heat in the hearts of the spectators also subsided.
After all, those who understood, understood.
They were all spirit masters themselves.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but furrow her brows. She turned her head, looked at her sister lying on the bed, and said with a stern tone.
"We can't underestimate any spirit master. Different combinations of spirit masters and their spirit skills can produce miraculous synergy and power. Therefore, we can't underestimate any opponent."
"Besides, Yue'er, your attitude of underestimating opponents is a big mistake. You have to know that you are a spirit master. Even though this is a match now, once you enter the world of spirit masters, you'll face enemies with the same mentality, and that can be a fatal flaw."
"I can't be by your side forever!"
"Okay, okay, I got it!" Helpless, Shui Yue'er sighed but still didn't take it seriously.
"But I think we should study the opponent for the day after tomorrow's match more than tomorrow's match!"
Upon hearing her sister's words, Shui Bing'er's expression became solemn.
Yes, Shui Yue'er was right. The opponent for the day after tomorrow's match was more worth studying than tomorrow's match.
Because the team Skywater would face the day after tomorrow was the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team!
The team that person was in!
Shui Bing'er was very familiar with Zeng Yi's strength, but saying that was a bit inappropriate.
It should be said that Zeng Yi knew the Skywater Team's strength very well.
Because Zeng Yi had been their instructor for several months, guiding them in their cultivation.
Shui Bing'er, as well as the other members of the Skywater Team, were well aware of Zeng Yi's terrifying strength, and they didn't have the slightest confidence of defeating him.
The best approach would be to surrender directly, as their strength and current record would still guarantee them a spot to advance even if they lost a match.
Furthermore, surrendering would also preserve their tactics and benefit them in the subsequent matches. The Godwind Academy of the Five Great Academies had used this strategy when they faced the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team, surrendering directly.
But with Shui Bing'er's temperament, surrendering was impossible. Not only her, but the other sisters in the team were the same.
Because they were facing someone who used to be their instructor, although they knew he was much stronger and unbeatable, if they didn't even have the courage to challenge him, Zeng Yi would probably be very disappointed in them.
Therefore, the Skywater Team would not surrender. They would strive to show their best form, give it their all, and challenge him.
They wanted to prove to that person how much progress they had made during this period.
Seeing her sister lost in thought, Shui Yue'er smirked and walked behind her, placing her hands lightly on her sister's shoulders, gently massaging them.
"Sister, I have a good idea!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's eyes brightened. "What idea?"
"After tomorrow's match, sister, you go on a date with Yi-ge. Talk to him nicely. Perhaps, he could go easier on us in the match the day after tomorrow, or even surrender directly?"
A date?
This word popped into Shui Bing'er's mind, and for a moment, her mind went blank, and a blush instantly appeared on her pretty face.
"You, you, you…"
Shui Bing'er's eyes became blurred, and she couldn't even speak clearly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shui Bing'er regained her senses and glared at her sister with embarrassment, unable to calm down.
Seeing her sister's embarrassed expression, Shui Yue'er became even more certain of the fact that her sister liked Zeng Yi.
"But sister, didn't you like Yi-ge?" Shui Yue'er countered.
"Nonsense! When did I say I liked that bastard?" Shui Bing'er blushed and retorted loudly.
"But back then, why were you two inseparable for a whole month in the mountains behind the academy?" Shui Yue'er asked in return.
"Tsk, what inseparable? I was just seeking his guidance in cultivation, that's all."
"But why didn't you tell us? You spent a month together with him and only thought of us afterward, calling us to train together?"
"I..."
Shui Bing'er pondered how to refute that but couldn't find the words.
"Anyway, I just sought his guidance on cultivation, nothing more!" Shui Bing'er could only stubbornly say in the end.
"Besides, when I first met him, it was the first time. I didn't know who was being all starry-eyed!"
Shui Bing'er's counterattack didn't bother Shui Yue'er at all. She shrugged and said,
"There's no way around it! I've always been a sucker for handsome guys like Yi-ge who are also powerful. It's normal for me to become his little fangirl."
"But if you really like Yi-ge, I won't argue with you. In that case, Yi-ge will also be my brother-in-law, which isn't bad at all, hehe."
"Tsk, what brother-in-law! This hasn't happened yet!"
"Are you saying that you like him, sister?"
"No! I don't! Stop talking nonsense!"
