Chapitre 352: Chapter 352: Shui Yue’er’s Fangirling, Xiao Wu’s Request

Shui Bing'er looked at her remaining three teammates, feeling a heavy sense of defeat. The strength gap was too wide, and they still had to be wary of Zhu Zhuqing, who was stealthily hidden on the field, ready to attack at any moment. Shui Bing'er could only rely on her instincts, occasionally using her third soul skill to try and reveal Zhu Zhuqing's location.

However, this tactic was not sustainable—her third soul skill drained significant soul power, while Zhu Zhuqing, aided by Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, could likely maintain her fourth soul skill longer than Shui Bing'er could manage.

After a tense stalemate, Shui Bing'er reluctantly raised her right hand toward the referee and announced, "We surrender!"

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing reveal herself, startling Shui Bing'er. Zhu Zhuqing had positioned herself right at the edge of her Repelling Ice Ring's effective range, ready to strike if Shui Bing'er hadn't conceded. Zhu Zhuqing could have risked attacking Xue Wu as soon as Shui Bing'er used her third soul skill, but she decided to play it safe, cautious in a friendly match and wanting to observe Shui Bing'er's potential response.

The arena was packed with spectators, and both teams preferred to keep some of their true capabilities hidden.

During this match, everyone held back a bit—Shui Bing'er never used her fourth soul skill, Zhu Zhuqing relied solely on the concealment aspect of her fourth soul skill, and Dugu Yan only used one illusion from her fourth skill. Overall, not much was revealed.

The announcer, realizing the need for diplomacy, praised, "What a breathtaking match! Both sides were evenly matched, reaching an impasse. This concludes the friendly match between Tianshui Academy and Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. A grand luncheon awaits, so please make your way to the hall!"

Tianshui Team: …

They appreciated the announcer's kindness, though they found the phrasing a bit odd—it would have sounded better if he had simply declared the match over!

Xue Wu gave Shui Bing'er a supportive pat on the shoulder. "Bing'er, this was my fault; that agility-type soul master clearly targeted me!"

Shui Bing'er shook her head, saying, "Xue Wu, it's not your fault. We weren't able to protect you. Her skill is truly extraordinary—I couldn't even sense her location. If she had chosen me as her target, I doubt I would have lasted long unless we used our Ice and Snow Drift fusion skill to freeze her in place. Otherwise, none of us could handle her."

After a moment's thought, she whispered, "And honestly, we didn't lose out here—didn't Su Ming activate the livestream at the start? Let's look forward to some rewards tonight."

Xue Wu's eyes sparkled with excitement. This was her first chance at a reward, and she regretted not having the journal earlier. Unlike other heroines who had received the journal years ago, they had missed out on multiple live-streamed events.

At lunch, Shui Yue'er, full of confidence, eagerly approached Su Ming to strike up a conversation. Su Ming was delighted but found her enthusiasm a little overwhelming.

"Ouch!" Shui Yue'er suddenly clutched her head, looking teary-eyed at her sister.

"Why did you do that, Sister?"

Shui Bing'er, exasperated, apologized to Su Ming. "Please don't mind her. Yue'er's a bit of a fangirl and can be a little… uninhibited. You're probably the best-looking guy she's seen."

Feeling that her words might come across poorly, Shui Bing'er added, "Well, Yue'er hasn't really met many men. You know, at Tianshui Academy, from the headmaster to the students, everyone is female. She might be fangirling just because she doesn't see many guys."

Su Ming chuckled, shaking his head to show he didn't mind. In fact, Shui Yue'er's enthusiasm offered him an opportunity to get closer to the three sisters.

The group continued chatting, and as all three Tianshui Academy leaders had journals, everyone shared an understanding of the true purpose of this match: a chance to assess their own strengths and prepare for the main competition.

When lunch was nearly over, Xiao Wu took the chance to pull Shui Bing'er aside under the pretense of a restroom break.

Su Ming, though curious, shrugged it off. It wasn't uncommon for girls to go to the restroom together.

Outside the restroom, Shui Bing'er asked, "Xiao Wu, did you want to talk about something?"

Nervously, Xiao Wu said sweetly, "Sister Bing'er, I actually have a request. Do you think you could help me?"

With her natural charm, Xiao Wu's request hit Shui Bing'er right in her "big sister" heart. As the Tianshui Academy leader, Shui Bing'er was known for helping others, and she couldn't resist the "big sister" appeal.

"Sister Bing'er," Xiao Wu continued sincerely, "you've read all of Su Ming's journal, right?"

Shui Bing'er nodded.

Xiao Wu pressed on, "Then you know just how horrible Tang San is to me, and how awful Dai Mubai was to Zhuqing. Now that they're both with Thunder Academy, I was hoping that if you face Thunder Academy in the tournament, you might help us teach them a harsh lesson."

Looking at Xiao Wu's "pitiful" expression, Shui Bing'er felt a surge of empathy. She recalled that in the original story, Xiao Wu had practically served as Tang San's sacrifice, providing him with spirit rings, a scabbard, and even a 100,000-year-old spirit ring and bone!

Chapitre 353: Chapter 353: Livestream Reward - A Three-Person Spirit Fusion Skill!

"Sure, if our Tianshui Academy faces Thunder Academy, we'll give Tang San and Dai Mubai some extra 'attention.' Without the immortal herbs from the original storyline, they may still be Soul Elders by the time of the tournament. Only Dai Mubai might reach Soul Ancestor," Shui Bing'er replied with a firm smile.

Xiao Wu beamed, feeling a weight lifted. In the original story, she was basically Tang San's "treasure chest." Whenever he needed spirit rings or bones, she sacrificed herself. Later, even Da Ming and Er Ming's spirit rings and bones were given up, and when the Sea God and Asura God wanted Tang San to possess dual god powers, she became nothing more than his scabbard.

To put it nicely, she was part of the divine power, but to put it bluntly, she was a tool. Unlike the second-level gods that Rongrong and Oscar became, who had their own powers, she remained a scabbard, her strength constantly suppressed by Tang San.

With their task complete, Xiao Wu and Shui Bing'er headed back to meet the others at the academy gates. After saying their goodbyes, Shui Bing'er and her team prepared to return to Tianshui Academy.

Shui Yue'er, still fangirling, waved cheerfully. "Su Ming, we'll meet again soon!" Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu exchanged a knowing look—Yue'er's infatuation was getting a bit out of hand. If it weren't for their need to return to the academy immediately for training, Shui Yue'er might have insisted on more time with Su Ming.

Later that evening, Su Ming recorded his thoughts about the day in his journal. Shui Bing'er had a strong, captivating aura, a true big-sister presence with a striking appearance. Shui Yue'er, as expected, was as much of a fangirl as in the original story, and with his looks, Su Ming figured he could probably win her over easily. Xue Wu, with her short hair and confident demeanor, had her own unique charm.

At midnight:

Ding! Congratulations, host! You've completed today's journal entry and received a reward: the fourth spirit ring (A Yin) duration extended by 10,000 years.

Within his mental space, A Yin felt her power surge again. With recent training, her strength had already recovered to 70,000 years; now, it jumped to 80,000, drawing her closer to the 100,000-year mark.

Meanwhile, the girls eagerly checked their journals, each expecting a reward.

Ding! Since the host livestreamed today, all heroines will receive a reward.

Upon seeing her reward, Xiao Wu practically jumped with joy. Her journal clearly displayed "Godly Inheritance." She, too, would now have a divine inheritance, freeing her from her fate as a mere "scabbard."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong received boosts to their spiritual power.

Meanwhile, on the way back to Tianshui Academy, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Shui Yue'er shared a room to await their first reward.

Their journals all displayed the same prize: a three-person spirit fusion skill with a 100% compatibility rating!

The trio initially looked puzzled, but as soon as the reward was granted, their spirits resonated powerfully. Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, who already shared a fusion skill, felt it most intensely. Originally, their spirits only had about 70% compatibility, but even then, their fusion skill packed a punch. Now, with a full 100% compatibility, the power of their combined skill would undoubtedly be even greater.

Moreover, they hadn't forgotten that spirits with a 100% compatibility rate provide an added amplification effect when fusing spirit powers! With a month remaining until the tournament, their strength could very well reach new heights, allowing for not only faster training but also enhanced quality of spirit power.

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu exchanged glances, excitement lighting up their faces.

Beside them, Shui Yue'er began to feel drowsy, rubbing her eyes. "Sister, we got our reward. Can we sleep now?"

Her lackadaisical attitude left her teammates a bit helpless. Shui Yue'er showed no real drive for strength—her current level of 39 was mostly thanks to her automatic spirit power gain and their guidance; otherwise, she wouldn't have reached that level.

Xue Wu, however, had a plan and leaned closer, whispering, "Yue'er, what do you think of Su Ming?"

The mention of Su Ming perked Shui Yue'er up. She gushed, "He's so handsome, easily the most attractive guy I've ever seen! And he seems to have a great personality too."

Curious, Shui Bing'er looked at Xue Wu, wondering what she was getting at.

"So, Yue'er," Xue Wu continued, "do you feel a bit of a crush on Su Ming?"

Shui Bing'er raised an eyebrow.

Shui Yue'er pondered briefly. "Yeah, I think so, but I doubt he'd like me back. He's already surrounded by so many beautiful girls; I'm probably not even on his radar."

Xue Wu leaned in closer. "Not necessarily. Haven't you noticed that Su Ming seems interested in powerful women? If you train hard, who knows..."

Before she could finish, Shui Yue'er, eyes wide, exclaimed, "I might have a chance with him!"

Her fangirl energy cranked up to maximum, her mind now firmly set on training hard.

Shui Bing'er shot Xue Wu a skeptical look and whispered, "Is it fair to string Yue'er along like this? She actually believed you."

Xue Wu stifled a laugh, replying softly, "It's not a lie. Su Ming's close friends are indeed strong. Yue'er really doesn't have much to stand on without getting stronger."

"And isn't this perfect? Now Yue'er will be more motivated in her training!"
