Bab 223: Chapter 223: I am a Very Upright Person
...
Looking at the transformed appearance of Shui Bing'er in front of him, Zeng Yi circled around her a few times, carefully examining her current appearance.
Zeng Yi's actions made Shui Bing'er feel a little shy.
Looking at her ice-blue wings, crystal-like and dazzling with vibrant colors, Zeng Yi couldn't help but extend his finger and poke at her wings.
"Do you feel anything?"
Snap!
Subconsciously, Shui Bing'er flapped her wings and blew towards Zeng Yi's face. Unaware of it, he was directly blown several meters away by Shui Bing'er's wings.
"Are you crazy?" Shui Bing'er angrily stared at Zeng Yi, cursing with embarrassment.
"I think you're the crazy one." Zeng Yi rubbed his throbbing cheek and looked at Shui Bing'er resentfully.
"I mean, do you feel like flying?"
"No!"
"That shouldn't be right! With such big wings, and they were quite powerful when you flapped them, flying shouldn't be a problem." Zeng Yi couldn't help but wonder.
"Do I need a Spirit skill that enables flight? That would be ridiculous. What's the use of these wings then? Just for show?" Shui Bing'er approached Zeng Yi, scrutinizing the wings on her back.
"Try flapping your wings and imagine the feeling of flying. See if you can take off." Zeng Yi suggested.
"Alright." Shui Bing'er nodded and started to believe in the feeling of flying in the air. Then, she flapped her wings.
The ice-blue wings spread out and flapped, causing gusts of wind to swirl around her, ice debris filling the sky and dancing in chaos.
"Mhm mhm mhm~"
"Ha-ha-ha~"
Seeing Shui Bing'er furrowing her brows, blushing, and her throat making a humming sound, resembling a constipated expression, Zeng Yi burst into laughter before she could fly.
"You Scoundrel! Find it amusing, huh!" Upon hearing this laughter, Shui Bing'er stopped her movements, gritted her teeth, and stared at Zeng Yi with fury.
"Sorry, I'll shut up. You can continue."
Next, Shui Bing'er made efforts to flap her wings, but only managed to lift her body a couple of meters above the ground.
After experiencing the state of the Martial Spirit fusion, Shui Bing'er looked disappointed, "I still can't fly, and my Spirit power has been greatly exhausted."
Zeng Yi consoled her, "I think it's because you used up too much Spirit power in your previous battle, so you can't fly. After all, the Phoenix is the king of flying birds, so flying should be easy for it. The Martial Spirit is a part of your own body, so try to sense your own Martial Spirit, communicate with it, and you should be able to learn the technique of flight."
"Can I communicate with my Martial Spirit?" Shui Bing'er was confused.
Zeng Yi explained, "The Martial Spirit is produced within our body, so it is a part of our body or one could say a part of the Spirit. One could say that the Martial Spirit is our other side, so naturally, it can be communicated with."
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er was taken aback. She had never thought about this question before. The Martial Spirit awakening at the age of one to six was something everyone on the entire continent regarded as a matter of course.
"Just like my Martial Spirit, Ronin Sword. I can sense the intentions it conveys to me, and it can also understand what I say to it." Zeng Yi said, taking out Ronin Sword.
"You agree, right, buddy?"
Buzz~
Under the amazed gaze of Shui Bing'er, Ronin Sword in Zeng Yi's hand seemed to understand what its owner was saying. The whole blade flickered with a blue-green light, trembling lightly as if in response.
"So amazing!" Shui Bing'er couldn't help but exclaim. It was her first time seeing a Martial Spirit with spirituality.
"By the way, I heard that you and your friend can use a very powerful Martial Spirit fusion technique. Call your friend over sometime, let's see how powerful your fusion technique really is." Zeng Yi suddenly said.
This made Shui Bing'er stunned for a moment. She remembered that she hadn't mentioned this secret to Zeng Yi, so how did he know?
Shui Bing'er looked at Zeng Yi suspiciously, "How do you know about my Martial Spirit fusion technique?"
"Uh, don't look at me like that. Your sister told me. You should go ask her about it."
Shui Bing'er's mouth twitched, blue veins appeared on her forehead, and her palm involuntarily clenched into a fist.
That little brat!
The Martial Spirit fusion technique was supposed to be her secret weapon for the upcoming Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. But now, it was known by an outsider. If he leaked it, other academies would become cautious, and the competition wouldn't be as easy.
"Don't joke with me. I admit that you are very strong, but the Martial Spirit fusion technique is not as simple as two ordinary Spirit Masters combining their powers. Even at my current Spirit Ancestor realm, if my friend and I unleash our Martial Spirit fusion technique, even a Spirit King-level Spirit Master wouldn't be able to withstand the attack at that level. You are only a Spirit Elder now, and you want to touch that level of technique? I'm afraid you'll die." Shui Bing'er said with an annoyed tone, turned her head and left.
She had consumed a significant amount of Spirit power and physical strength. There was no point in staying here any longer.
"Are you leaving?"
"Why would I stay? Are you inviting me for a meal?"
"Alright then, next time you come, bring me some books." Zeng Yi shouted.
"What kind of books?"
"Miscellaneous news and strange things."
Unconsciously, Zeng Yi had already spent four months in the back mountains of Skywater Academy. During this time, apart from cultivation, he would train Shui Bing'er.
Under Zeng Yi's guidance, Shui Bing'er's strength improved significantly, particularly she could now fly. When Shui Bing'er, who had mastered flight, sparred and trained with Zeng Yi, it proved to be quite challenging for him.
As for Shui Yue'er, that infatuated girl, after she found out about her sister's secret and witnessed Zeng Yi's training, she, who was naturally playful and disliked training, began to pester Zeng Yi to teach her.
Through Zeng Yi's guidance, Shui Bing'er experienced remarkable progress and highly admired his training methods. Eventually, she brought her sisters, who were elites of Skywater Academy preparing for the upcoming Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, to Zeng Yi's place for training.
Originally, Zeng Yi intended to refuse as having a flock of women gathering here would undoubtedly affect the speed of his cultivation. However, realizing he was on someone else's territory, he had to compromise and began teaching this group of female geniuses.
However, Zeng Yi only agreed to spend two hours each day teaching them cultivation, and Shui Bing'er also accepted this arrangement.
Like this, Zeng Yi became a tool for Skywater Academy, mercilessly squeezed dry by them.
The time he expected to breakthrough to Rank 40 in Spirit power was forcefully delayed by two months.
...
At this time, those lovely kids from Shrek Academy should be enjoying a beautiful academy life in the most prosperous city of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
"Are you leaving?"
In the office of the Dean of Skywater Academy, a middle-aged woman with remaining charm and grace sat behind a desk, looking somewhat surprised at the young man in a long azure robe standing in front of her.
"Yes, Dean Mu. I have been bothering your academy for about half a year now, so it's time for me to leave." Zeng Yi said respectfully.
The woman in front of him was the Dean of Skywater Academy, an extremely powerful Spirit Emperor. Although she appeared to be only in her thirties or forties, still beautiful and mesmerizing, exuding a gentle, refined, and mature temperament, Zeng Yi knew very well that this female Dean was from the same generation as his teacher, Sword Douluo, and could even be considered his grandmother's generation.
"You've reached Rank 40 and are returning to your sect to obtain the fourth Spirit ring, right?" Mu Yunyan felt the fluctuations of Spirit power from Zeng Yi and inquired.
"Well, that's about right."
In fact, Zeng Yi intended to go to the Spirit Beast Forest to obtain a Spirit ring by himself before returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After obtaining the fourth Spirit ring, he would pay a visit to Heaven Dou City. By that time, he would already be a Spirit Ancestor, and he could apply for graduation from Flender. In the meantime, he could bring his cat back.
According to Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou City were quite close.
Then, he would visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, he was considered a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet he had never set foot in the Sect. It wouldn't be right.
His disciple, Yan Que, was still there. He hadn't seen her in almost a year, so he could check on her progress.
As for the Tournament, Zeng Yi had no intention of participating. Joining the Shrek team and bullying the supporting cast would be too much for him.
He was content with watching the excitement from the audience.
Mu Yunyan said, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer."
"In that case, I bid farewell, Dean." With that, Zeng Yi bowed to Mu Yunyan, turned around, and left.
"Wait."
Just as Zeng Yi took a step, a voice came from behind. He involuntarily turned around to look.
"Do you have anything else, Dean Mu?"
Mu Yunyan leaned her elbows on the desk, palms interlocked, supporting her fair, delicate chin, as her eyes stared straight at Zeng Yi.
"I heard that you are teaching my students cultivation."
"Yes, didn't they tell you?" being stared at like that, Zeng Yi started feeling uneasy.
"No need to be nervous. I just wanted to ask, have you laid a finger on my adorable students?" Mu Yunyan said casually, but there was a flash of coldness in her eyes, causing Zeng Yi's hairs to stand on end and feel a slight chill below.
"No, no, absolutely not!" Zeng Yi vigorously shook his head, showcasing a strong survival instinct.
Zeng Yi extended two fingers towards Mu Yunyan.
"Two meters!"
"What?" Mu Yunyan was taken aback.
Zeng Yi solemnly said, "When teaching them cultivation, I always maintain a distance of two meters. I had a teacher who taught me that maintaining a half-meter safety distance during normal interactions with a girl is good for everyone. It won't seem awkward or ambiguous and is a safe distance for friends of the opposite sex."
"And I have increased that distance by four times. I absolutely respect every girl!" Zeng Yi spoke righteously. "I am a very upright person, having received a good education. Dean, please believe me!"
